  Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes five seventy nine through five eighty one.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I have skipped the filler episodes that are at the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: beginning of this arc. In these episodes, Loofy shocking Nobody
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: decides that he really really wants to go to the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: most dangerous looking island which is covered in a volcano
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and lava, and then they find out that there's a
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: whole other area that's all ice and snow and it's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: very much giving a song of ice and fire. I
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: am into it, curious about what's going on here, but
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: also why can't Lufy ever just want to go someplace
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: that looks peaceful and comfortable? Why for what reason? Welcome
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to spoil Me, Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think that there's anybody here in the chat today,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: which is a shame because I really wanted somebody else
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to appreciate this wild camera work that I've got going
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: on here with my new computer. But you guys, these
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: episodes it was so weird because it was like I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: was very, very engaged for some of it, and then
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of parts that I found myself
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: just getting frustrated, and I turned out to be very
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: wrong about some of that, so that's on me. But
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: it was a weird start to an arc for me. Now,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: when I say weird start, what I really mean is
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: normally when our friends split up, there is a certain
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: breakdown that I'm used to of who gets to stay
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and who goes on the adventure, you know, and Lufy
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and Zoro are the ones that go, so in that respect,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it's pretty normal. But I was surprised that Sanji doesn't.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Nami also doesn't you know that oos up, Like, despite
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: clearly not wanting to go, he's still forced to go.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And so the breakdown of the two groups that we
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: end up with winds up being quite different than they
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: usually are. I am really curious about this island, and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: there's a point where we go over to Tashii and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Smoker and they're talking about how there is like a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: particular island, which we find out later is Punk Hazard.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I just have to say, y'all, I really really like
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the name Punk Hazard. It's not any like better. I've
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: made the complaint before that the place names in this
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: sometimes don't feel like place names at all. They feel
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: like you just picked some weird words that are technically places,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: like nis lobby, and I'm like, well, I guess technically
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: there's a lobby that's a place, So you could say that,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: but I don't, uh you would. You could make this
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: argument much more effectively with Punk Hazard, but because neither
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Punk nor Hazard has ever described a location. Really, but
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I got to be honest, something about it works for me.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Some about it just sort of like rolls off the tongue,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: so I'm kind of into it. And there is just
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: this vibe of like, we get a distress call, and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you guys, the distress call, it's truly hilarious. I can't
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the transponder snail just starts sobbing, and I when I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: think that it's Zorro maybe who says like, oh, that's
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a distress signal. And when I realized that's what we
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: were doing that the distress signal was sobbing. That was
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: very very funny to me. So they get a message
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: from somebody who seems to die mid sentence as he
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: is asking for their help, and he says, we're all
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: so cold, we need boss I think is what he says,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: our men are getting cut down one by one, and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: then he is killed. Well, you know what this is
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a I can't you, guys. I don't even want a
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: hazard to guess. There is a part of me that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: really does think it's all these experiment guys, but I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: can't be fully convinced of that. I feel like there
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: has to be something else going on. So because like
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the island seems too large for there to only be
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: one enemy that they're dealing with or one variable. The
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: fact that they say our men are getting cut down
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: one by one, that's a specific way to say this,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't sound like something that these men in
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: hazmat suit would be involved with. So it feels a
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: little bit more like we're talking about the samurai, which
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: that guy is. I when we finally sort of put
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: his face together, and really that's an asterisk because it's
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: not put together correctly, and that's quite clear. I cannot
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: decide whether it seems like he's here alone or not.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I feel like samurai tend to be loaners traditionally speaking,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: but either this dude is quite effective all alone, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: he was taking out the guys that the man in
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the distress signal was talking about all by himself or
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: there's more than one of him, and he is one
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of the ones that actually like got caught up, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the others are out there still wreaking havoc and why
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: are they here and why is any of this happening?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: And was the person calling for help actually like a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: fellow pirate? Was he somebody who worked on the Eye Island?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Like there there are a lot of questions, So I'm
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: gonna back up here and start at the beginning. I
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: just realized that I didn't read the titles of the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: episodes in the opening. So five point seventy nine is
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: arriving a burning island, Punk Hazard. Episode five eighty is
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a battle in the heat Loofy versus the Giant Dragon,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and then five eighty one is the straw Hats Stunned
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: enter a samuraized, horrifying, severed head. Which truly, these titles,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you guys, just they're just wild stuff. So the weird thing,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you guys, is that at the start of this episode,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: we are like kind of right back where we were.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Just full disclosure, I accidentally started watching the Filler episodes
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and as soon as it began, I was like, hold on,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: let me double check my thing, because I feel like
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: this doesn't sound like what they would want me to
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: be watching right now. And sure enough, they were marked
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: as filler, but I saw that we were like entering
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: a whole different storyline. And so there's this thing that's
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: like in the previously on that is shown to us,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and that is Loofy basically turning into a giant. And
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I wanted to get it out there that I saw
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: this in the previously on because I don't know if
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: this is something that is going to be trotted out
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: later that I'm going to be like that they're going
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to treat as if I should have already known that
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: he could do this, But I just wanted to let
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you guys know if it is meant to be kind
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: of a surprise later, I saw it already the way
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the show goes, though, I don't think anybody's going to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: write it in as a surprise because they're assuming that
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: you have watched the filler episodes. But I just did
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: want to acknowledge that this is a power that's like
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: pretty huge and impressive that I didn't know Lufy could
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: do that gets dropped in a filler, which seems like
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a weird way to do it. I am used to
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: these major moments being, you know, in the main plot,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and I don't know, maybe this is something that he
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: only does for the filler episode and doesn't do again,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: which would be a sort of weird way to play it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: So I don't really think that's likely, but I wanted
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to mention it. But I say it's weird because, like,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: without knowing that there were filler episodes there, without having
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to manually skip them or seeing the previously on, this
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: episode basically begins exactly where the last one I covered
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: broke off, And so I am really curious how our
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: friends are supposed to have like gone through this whole
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: other adventure that took four episodes and then apparently wind
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: up in the same place that they had been with
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the lightning and the rushing ocean out in the middle
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: of nowhere. So I may be mistaken, and it may
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: be that they don't wind up in the exact same
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: place because I don't remember seeing this volcano thing. But
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: you know, we don't get a lot of time to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: get our bearings. There are whales all around us. It's
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: quite hectic. When they wind up surfacing. So I was
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: just sort of curious, like, if anybody has watched The Fillers,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: if there's something that explains how perfectly seamlessly these episodes
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: could have been watched without the Fillers in between, and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: our friends just wind up in the same place. I
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: don't feel like that's how it's functioned in the past. Hey,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong. I don't know, but anyway, so we
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: wind up here and we see this like fire ring.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: That's a wall of flame circling the Eye island, and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: it's so funny because it's very like obvious. Later on,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: when Smoker and Tshigi are talking, they're describing this island
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: that has been sealed off, and they're expressing some surprise,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: or at least to Shigi, is that Lufy is even there?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And I was listening to this conversation and actually thinking
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: to myself, how is it that, how do you even
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: seal off an island? You know, how do you do
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: that with something that size? And it didn't even occur
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: to me that we had just seen an island that
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: was nearly impossible to approach, Like, why how did I
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: not put that together? Y'all? I can really, I can
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: really be a dense bitch sometimes, and I'm certain you
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: all know that. Y'all are listening to this show for
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: long enough, there have got to have been moments where
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: you are like, I can't believe we're paying this stupid cunt.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: What is she saying? This doesn't even know? I mean, like,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I am sure, and for that I apologize, But this
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: is a moment where even I was disgusted with myself.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Once we go back to the island, it was a
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: minute before I really put it together. Oh, sealed off,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Like that's how that would work, putting this permanent barrier.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Of course, I think it was more like when you
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: say sealed off, I think of it as like completely encased, which,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: of course that is one way of sealing something off,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: but that is not the only way. I was being
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: very limited in my thinking. So anyway, they they're in
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the midst of this wild storm at the time, and
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: there's tons of rainfalling, and the weather in this changes
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: up a lot. It was kind of interesting to me
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: because like, really, when you stop and think about it,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: our friends have rarely been on their ship in the rain.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: It's happened a couple times, but it's always kind of
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: like the fact that it's raining, it's part of a storm,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: it's a whole thing about the weather, and here it
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: really feels almost secondary to everything else that's going on. Like, yes,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: we are on this we are approaching this new island.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: We're in this adventure sort of frame of mind, as
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: we always are on this ship, but the rain isn't
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: a factor like in the plot at all. And I
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: know this is a weird thing to bring up, but
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I just really liked the look of it. There was
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: something about it that really made everything feel a little
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: different than usual and a little special, because the way
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: that we're used to seeing them on their ship is
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: normally in like absolutely beautiful, temperate weather like we're in
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the Caribbean or southern California, you know what I mean.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: It's almost always bright and sunny and clear, unless there
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: is a very specific reason why not. And so just
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: seeing them actually experiencing some real weather here as you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a sidebar. I sort of liked it and didn't realize
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: how much I was missing that as an overall factor
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: until I saw it. So they're approaching this and like
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Nammy is really set on the fact that they should
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: not be heading in this direction. Of course, there is
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: a fucking volcano. You don't want to be head Like,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: if we were talking about real life, this would indeed
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: not be where we want to go. But Lufy, as
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: you know, the guy who always wants to pick the
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: most difficult means of doing anything, insists on it, and genuinely,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I believe cannot see any reason why you weren't. You
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want to do the most interesting thing. So they're
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: heading towards the fire, and understandably some folks are like, hey,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: aren't we going to catch fire? And Frankie says, absolutely not.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Don't underestimate the sonny, And he turns out to be
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: quite right about this. All of the fish around the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: island are already dead. Mammy points out that they are bones,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and Brooke is basically like, and what's wrong with that?
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I did think that was actually very funny because the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: fact that they are all bones, it's there is something
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: wrong with that. Brook. I think that you should understand,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: actually that there is something wrong with that, because you
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: know that you being all bones, there's something kind of
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: wrong with that as well, Like this is normal. And
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: this is when they get interrupted by the transponder snail.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: It turns out that Robin, she says more than half
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: of the distress calls are actually fakes and traps set
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: up by the Marines. That is bananas, like, more than half. Really,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I was so confused by this, so I I The
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: way that I keep kept thinking of this was like,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: they're doing They're doing this because they're trying to catch pirates.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: And if they're trying to catch pirates, why would they
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: like share the fact that they are in trouble as
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: a means of luring them, Because that implies that pirates
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: would try to come and help, which means that pirates
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: are not like tear people. And I didn't even consider
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the fact that plenty of pirates functioned this way. They
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: would see ships that were foundering and they would take advantage.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: They would come, not because they were trying to help
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: at all, but because they were like, Oh, you're in trouble,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: why don't we just ease up this burden of all
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: this stuff you're carrying and either take you as slaves
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: or kill you or who knows what. So I felt
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: extremely naive for a moment as I realized like, oh, obviously,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: so the way that this is like set up. We
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: have a weird kind of I'm going to back up
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: so I can read the actual dialogue here. Robin is
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the one who says maybe he was just acting and
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: this as a trap because the guy sounded genuinely distressed,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: but she's not fully willing to admit it. And oh right,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: he said something about the samurai in the the uh
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: distress call, So I'm over here theorizing if that's who
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: it is, but he flat out said it. And if
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: you said the samurai, I feel like it must be
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: a singular, But samurai, I think is plural, right like,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: it can be either like dear, so there's still may
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: be more than one, but I kind of feel like
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: there's not. And this is when Zoro is asking, like Brook,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: that's a swordsman, right like, and he says, yeah, they're
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: from a far away land, an island known as the
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of Wono, And that's in the dub. When he
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: says this, the camera shows us a couple of characters
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: and translation of wah wa only, and so that made
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: me question whether or not this was different in the original,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: like if the subtitles say something different and just maybe
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: say wah or if wana I know that there are
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: sort of like what do you call it, not prefixes
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I want to say, postfix suffix in Japanese that are
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: meant to get like not necessarily a title across, but
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: sometimes like a term of endearment or just meant to imply,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: like how well you know somebody. So I wondered if
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Wana was like meant to be taking this word and
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: adding a suffix to it because I'm not familiar with them,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: you know, I was gonna say, I'm not familiar with
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: most of them. I'm really not familiar with almost any
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: of them. The only one that I know really is Son,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: which I think is an endearment. Right. So anyway, Wana
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: was closed off from the rest of the world, so
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: most people know little about it. It's not even affiliated
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: with the world government. They say that there's Samurai are
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: so formidable that even the Navy dares not challenge them.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: And as he says this, Zorro is looking at his
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: sword hill and we get the flashback to him fighting
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: with that ghost, that Samurai ghost in Killer Bark, which
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I had totally forgotten about. That this sword is a
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: gift from him. After Zorro defeated him, and he says
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: this body of legendary samurai, How shameful of me to
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: allow it to no defeat. He's talking about the sword,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I believe. So yeah, Zorro was just like really thinking
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: hard about this, and Frankie is like, all right, you're
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: talking about this place where all the samurai are from.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: But this guy said that he was on punk Hazard,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: so clearly that's not what we're dealing with. Do you
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: think that that is the island right there? And it
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem like there's anywhere else close enough that the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: transponder snail could have reached them other than this island,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: so that's got to be where he is. And Lufy,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: of course had already wanted to go to our fire
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: island here, and so now that he has somebody to rescue,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: it's just a foregone conclusion. Of course they're going to
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: be doing this despite the fact that nobody else wants
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: to go. It's like I say, nobody, almost nobody mostly no,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Like the only person that is excited is Loofy. The
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: people who are protesting seem to be Nami Chopper and Oosup,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: and we don't really get an opinion either way from
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: anyone else. I wanted to mention to you guys, because
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: this has been something that's sort of like it's been
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: getting more and more overt, if that's the word I want.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: But there is a real kind of crusty the clown
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: sound to Lufy's laugh lately that I like, there's always
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: been a touch of it, but it feels like it's
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: really getting extreme. And I was just taken aback in
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: these episodes how long it goes on, some of the
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: laughter and the like similarity to Krusty the Clown here
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and there. I was just sort of like, this is
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: almost copyright infringement, even though you know it's a clearly
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: very different voice. But it's just been slowly growing and growing,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and this episode was the one where I was like,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: good God, it's just really going on quite a lot
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: his last last a while. So this is when we
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: go over to t Shigi and Smoker and they decide
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: that they're going to change course and head over to
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Punk Island, and she says that didn't they seal it
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: off after that incident a few years ago. I don't
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: even remember if she says exactly how much time. I
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: kind of want to check now and see if she says,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: like a specific you know, ten years or something like that, Lesy,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: after the incident four years ago, they sealed off the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: entire island. So four years ago, well before our friends
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: separated and leveled up, and Smoker admits, I really don't
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: think that anybody would go there and be able to survive. However,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: if it turns out that's where they did go and
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: we don't follow up on it, we're gonna be screwed.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: So we have to at least check it out, which
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: is fair. You know, I'm all for covering bases. I
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: think that's just the smart way to go. So we
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: then see that there is this pirate captain that is
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: being strung up. They're burnings this dude alive. It is
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: It feels for me like this is not the way
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the Marines usually work. I'm a little bit confused, you guys.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't think that this is the sort of like
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: execution that Smoker would normally go for. I almost called
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: him choppers, you hear that. What I mean is I
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: absolutely understand that this man is for capital punishment. We
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: saw that he was about to execut Loofy, and you
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: know that's not surprising, but burning alive is a really
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: particularly cruel way to execute. And it's like the combination
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: of that they're doing that and that they're on a
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: ship when they're doing it, which feels extra extra dangerous
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: to me. I just don't really get why they're handling
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: this guy this way. It's like, maybe they're just torturing
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: him and it's not meant to be a killer, Like
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: maybe they're not doing an execution. Maybe they're just like
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: trying to get information out of him, But I don't know,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: it really seemed like they were about to outright kill him.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: So what's going on here, y'all? I'm really curious about
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: whether or not I just misjudged Smoker or if this
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: is an indication that he has changed as a character
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: since we last saw him. So this is the point
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: where our friends draw straws and decide who is going
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: to be going on the island versus who stays here,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: and us up winds up getting to go. He makes
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: a big show about how he's going to be tough,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: and you know, draw one of the straws, and when
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: he sees that it signals he has been chosen to go,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: his tough guy act just completely falls apart, so they
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: take the mini Marynam sets them up to ride a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: sort of trail that she makes out of cloud, which
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: is a pretty fun development. I do enjoy that she
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: has this ability. This is something that's like really practically useful,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: And you know, I kind of had issues about the
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: fact that it seemed Nami was never really allowed to fight,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: you know, I was just sort of I was a
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: little fatigued by the fact that no matter how many
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: abilities she developed, she's never really at the center of
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the fighting ever. And I kind of just wanted to
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: see it like a couple times, you know, And so this,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: even though it's not necessarily like for fighting, I was
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: very into how practical this could be for her to
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: assist others with fighting getting to a certain place. Just
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the breaking out, like slowly of new abilities for each
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: of my characters here where we don't get a dossier
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: of everything that they are now capable of. It's sort
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: of trickling out as we continue with the story. I
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: really really enjoy all of these little surprises. I like
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: seeing it in the moment with the context of however
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: they're managing to use it, and it's just you know,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I have felt like the last episodes. In the last arc,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: it was a setup for us to get to see
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: what they're capable of, and it definitely was, But that
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: isn't all that they're capable of. That's brand new, so
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: we've got more to look forward to on that front.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: So let's see. It's Zorro, Robin, oos Up, and Loufy
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: who are heading to the island, and for whatever reason,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: everybody has decided that on their little ride over, they're
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: going to go ahead and eat their lunches that were
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: packed by a Sanji, which I did think was very funny,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Like as soon Asanji puts Lufy in custody of the food,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I was sort of like, that seems like a huge mistake,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: but okay, But seeing that everybody else goes along with
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: it as well, and it's just like, yeah, yeah, let's
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: just eat our lunch, except for Usup, who keeps being like,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: what are you guys doing? I did find this funny
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: and also really appropriate because if you're like taking a
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: little ride somewhere, like if you're on a train having
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: a little snack, like I think that would be a
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: lot of our instinct is to just, you know, especially
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: in a universe where you don't have a cell phone
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: to disappear into or something. Yeah, you're just gonna sort
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: of be like, let me just have this little sneaky
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: snack to keep myself occupied. And then later on, despite
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: the fact that Usup claims I'm just saving it for later,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: he starts eating out of emotion and so he is
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: like stuffing his face as things get more and more stressful.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: And I found that actually genuinely funny because I thought
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: that there might be something that was more fat phobic
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: that they were gonna do again, because you know, the
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: whole thing with him getting fat in the on the
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: island that he was on. I was like, are we
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: going to be bringing that up again? Is this going
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: to be a whole thing? But no, and I was
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: kind of relieved, although it may still be something that
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: gets trotted out later as well, who knows. So so yeah, anyway,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: this little snack bit. I just thought that this was funny.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: So they see the front gates Punk Hazard keep out
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: by order of the Marines, the world government, YadA YadA,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: And when they just decide they're going to go in anyway,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: oos Up is like, you don't want to get on
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: the bad side of the world government, do you And
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: then he's like, oh, we've already done that. And then
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: he says something like, oh, I can't remember. There was
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: another thing as well, and he's like, oh, we did
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: that too, And I did actually think that this was
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: a good bit. Eventually he just tries to be like, yeah,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: but from like an ethical per perspective, we probably shouldn't
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: be going in. And the fact that he just sort
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: of brings it down to an ethical perspective, it's just
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: so weak. Bless him. So they go on inside and
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: this is when they come up against this uh dragon,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: and y'all, I will tell you what this is. When
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I said i'm the intro or beginning of this episode
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: that there were some things I was wrong about. I
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: was so irritated that our friends didn't try to talk
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: to this dragon. I was so mad because, like, this
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: dragon is actually animated to be pretty cute. It does
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: not look like a vicious creature the way that the
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: sea kings look. It's not as dopey and friendly as
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: some of the other like the little Shark and the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: T shirt or anything like that. But he had a
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: look to him that was kind of in a way
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: non threatening and I say in a way because even
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: though it was he did sort of look intimidating, it
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: wasn't the kind of intimidating that I'm used to in
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: this show when it comes to characters that are worthy
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: of just outright execution, which is what happens to this dragon.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: And so the fact that he starts to talk, but
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: nobody really seems to make an effort to speak with him,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and even though more than one person hears him, eventually
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: they're all just like, oh, yeah, that's weird, and then
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: they keep trying to kill him. I was kind of disgusted.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I was kind of fucked up over it. I was like,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: y'all are jumping to all these conclusions about this dragon.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: You don't know if any of this is correct. Like
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: how I was very in my feelings, and I felt
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: as like so certain that at any moment the dragon
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: would speak again and be like, why are you doing this?
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: And then as the scene progresses and he just speaks
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: weirdly intermittently, and the things he says don't really feel
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: like they make sense, I started to be like, maybe not,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: maybe that's not what we're doing. And then finally Loofy
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: sees the legs sticking out of him. And at that point,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I was like, is it possible that this is just
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: like a misunderstanding and that this dragon is coming at
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: them the way that he is because he has some
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: weird thing going on with a human like stuck in
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: his back and he's cranky. And once they yanked this
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: guy out, the dragon will be like, oh, thank god,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: that was agonizing, you know, things for helping something like that.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: And no, no, the dragon is, as they believe, purely
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: an enemy. I was so disappointed. I'm not even gonna
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: play with, y'all. I really wanted this dragon to be
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: a bud. I wanted this dragon to be somebody who
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: like wound up, if not necessarily becoming part of the crew,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: was just sort of an ally that they, you know,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: made here somehow. I really had a whole mental picture,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: and I was devastated when it's literally killing and eating him,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: that's what we did. He was adorable and he's a dragon,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: and they were also blown away to see one after
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: they thought they were only myth and then to just
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: instantly just kill it. I was I was so disap pointed, y'all.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I was truly devastated about it. So anyway, I just
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: wanted to share that because I held on to the
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: hope that we were gonna have a dragon friend for
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: like longer than was really reasonable. And eventually Loofy pulls
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: the legs out of the back of the dragon and
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: it's just legs. So at that point I had the
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: probably like I'm not alone in this, the thought, is
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: it possible that this is uh, Buggy the clown, because
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: he has like sort of stripey pants with like a
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: sash around his waist, that it's not unthinkable Buggy would
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: wear this outfit from you know, the waist down. It
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: turns out this is not what's happening. It's a whole
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: other thing. But genuinely I was thinking, well it has
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: to be how could this you know, how could this be? Otherwise, Well,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: how this can be is due to this weird experimentation
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: that they are evidently doing on this island. So I'm
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: getting a little bit ahead of myself here, so I'm
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: gonna keep backing up. But once Loofy gets the legs
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: out of the dragon, he is so excited at the
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: prospect of this weird thing with the legs who and
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: he also mentions, like do you guys work with the
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Seven Warlords, and from the way he says it to me,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: it sounds like he is an enemy of the war Lords.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: He doesn't. He's trying to make sure that they are
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: enemies first before striking, and so he's asking in order
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: to confirm what he already suspects. But he, like Loofy,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: wants to make him a crew member and starts chasing him.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: And because he doesn't have a head, he can't see
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Loofy and he can't really communicate that well, he's still
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: able to sort of talk, but it's just everything is
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: very unclear and like riddled with misunderstanding, and Loofy eventually
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: like gets stuck to him in such a set set
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: up that he looks like a centaur, like he's got
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: four legs. It was such a goofy thing to do,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: and it was genuinely quite funny. I actually really liked this.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: So the legs, let's see, Oh, he doesn't have pants,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: it's like a skirt. My bad. But when you first
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: see him, when he first gets detached, it's not totally
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: clear that's what's going on. But yeah, so Loofy when
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: he gets back together with his friends and he's just like,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know how this happened, but I think it's
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: kind of awesome. So we're just gonna stay like this
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: for now, I guess. So he and his friends keep
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: going forward, and they finally come to this like cliffs
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: where they are able to look out over the side
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: of the island facing towards it. I think it's like
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: a sort of curved in bay, and so they're looking
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: from maybe one side of it, or maybe it's a lake,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: and maybe they say it's a lake, but either way,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: on the other side, it's straight up frozen. It goes
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: from so hot that we see actual rock melting in
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: some places to so freezing that we've got straight up
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: icebergs just like floating around. And I thought Oosup made
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: a pretty good point here, because when they're talking about
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: crossing and seeing what's going on in the snowy section,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: oos Up is like, look, no, here, I can avoid
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: the fire and I'm still fine, but there the fucking
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: snow is like just a symptom of cold and there
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: won't be any escaping that kind of cold. So no,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go over there. And as somebody
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: who personally this is something that's always bothered me. People
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: will talk about how, logically speaking, being too cold is
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: not as bad as being too hot, because if you're
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: too cold, you always have the option of putting on
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: more clothing in order to retain your heat. If you
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: are too hot, there comes a point when you're just
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: naked and there's nothing more to be done. And I
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: totally understand how logically that may make sense, but for me,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: cold can actually feel painful. Heat is unpleasant. It makes
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: you sweat, it makes you feel slimy, it makes you
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: feel like sluggish and tired. All of that is true.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: But cold like hurts your body in a way that like,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: it doesn't even have to be that cold out for
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: it to begin to happen. The circumstances just have to
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: be right, and heat has to be so much more
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: extreme before you know. Like, the one thing that I
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: could say is that sunburn is a thing, and that's
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: not even really heat related. You can get sunburnt in
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: the winter just as easily as in the summer, as
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: long as you are in direct sunlight and you are
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: not protected. You could have this happen at any time.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: So anyway, I am very much kind of team oose
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: up on this because I understand the idea of how
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: you could technically protect yourself from cold more continually as
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: the situation escalates than you can from heat. But just
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: the experience of being cold for me is so much
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: more unpleasant and painful, and like robs my concentration, it's
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: just I fucking hate being cold so much. So anyway,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to mention this because I thought that
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: it was his reaction was completely reasonable, So I'm gonna
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: also mention I think that I, in my memory thought
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: that they reached this a little later, but I actually,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: thinking back, I believe they got to this right away
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: when they entered Punk Hazard. That they come to this
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: spot where they can see over the sort of area
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: that has been destroyed, and I thought it was, you know,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: this is the sort of thing where it's like, you're
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: saying that this is obvious. It's not obvious, but I
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: think you're telling us it's obvious, just so that we
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: know because you are aware that it's not obvious. But
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: they come to this viewpoint and they are looking out
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: over all of these buildings that are and melted, and
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Robins says, well, they're not houses, must be like or
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: she says, obviously it's some kind of governments, like science facility,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: and I was like, it's really not obvious at all,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: what do you mean? But eventually we start to see
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: some of what might still be going on here. So
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: first on the ship, our friends are hanging out. Uh
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Sanji has made everybody some like ice creams to cool
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: them down, and he goes back into the kitchen and
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: the rest of our friends are out on the deck
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: enjoying themselves, trying to deal with this heat. I kept
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: thinking that it might be better to go inside the ship,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: but I'm operating under this assumption that it has AC. Honestly,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: with everything that Frankie can do, it should have AC.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: But it's fine. And all of a sudden, you see
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: these like hands clamp on this of the deck and
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: somebody hauls themselves up over the railing on the side.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: And I thought that this was going to be wet
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: hair Caribou, because I said in the last episode that
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: we don't actually really see what happens to him, So
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: it's possible that he could have stowed away somewhere on
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: the sunny and is biding his time before he appears.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: The longer this goes on without seeing him, the less
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: likely I think that is, but I'm not willing to
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: completely let it go because it was just left so
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: open ended it felt to me. But it turns out
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: that it's these other weird guys in these there has
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: matt suits, but instead of having the sort of square
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: large screen on the front of the face that you
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: can see somebody's whole face through, they have these little
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: portholes in like the center around their eyes that makes
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: them look a lot more alien like. I think that
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: these are all ordinary people, but the suits just are
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: bonkers looking. And they come on deck and they release
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: some kind of weird gas that sends all of the
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: pirates to sleep, and Sanji is unaffected because he is
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: inside at the stove like making some more food. He
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: comes out and he finds everybody passed out, and he
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: has absorbed, like inhaled some of the smoke. So he
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: gets a little bit frustrated with himself because he didn't
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: notice it right away, and I was thinking that maybe
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: he would be able to save them all, but he
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: winds up getting captured along with the rest of them anyway,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: So they wake up and they are inside this very
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: stark white like laboratory room, and there is a dude
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: who is basically all flame. It's hard to say what
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: he is. According to this subtitle, his name is Caesar Clown.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: That is not a good name at all. That's terrible, actually,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: But I guess I was actually like wondering, because of
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: this place being called Punk Hazard, that perhaps this dude
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: was Vega Punk, and that like we were seeing what
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: he had wound up doing to himself, that he had
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: made so much forward momentum with the dramatic like robotics
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: and stuff that he was doing, that now he straight
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: up just doesn't even need a body anymore, which I
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: think is kind of a fun idea, but it is
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: that is not what's happening here. I don't think if
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: he's being called Caesar Clown either Vega Punk has decided
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: to go with a different nomenclature based on his new
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: identity and weird bodyless existence, or this is just an
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: entirely different character, and I think that's probably more likely.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: So the Caesar Clown. I really don't like it, guys.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: I just don't like that at all. He is looking
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: over all of the straw hats that have been captured,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: and he's getting pretty excited because to him, this is like,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: you guys got some real weirdos here. You know. We've
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: got this little like pet that apparently can talk, this
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: dude that we thought was dead because he's just a skeleton,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: he's actually up and walking around. We have a cyborg
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: as well in the mix. Like this is a very
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: rare grouping of people. That makes it much more interesting
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: than the usual folks they come across. Evidently, so I
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: don't know what it is they're planning on doing. He
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: says something vague like, you know, we'll have fun with
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: them later, something very sinister sounding like that. And I
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: just wanted to say this is just from speaking for myself.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: I I think that in the past I have already
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: mentioned to y'all how truly distressing I find storylines about
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: experimentation on people any sort of like medical, surgical, especially
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: people who are not volunteering. But even when they are volunteering,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: it's still really difficult for me. It gives me the
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: he beach in such a deep, profound, soul level way
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: that my mother would probably say that was something that
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: I suffered from in a past life somehow, you know,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: And it's very difficult sometimes for me to come to
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: terms with the fact that practically all medical knowledge and
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: forward motion is due to experimentation, and like a lot
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: of it was involuntary and done on people who didn't
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: have the social power to resist. But this sort of thing, like,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: I am just so schemed out by and I'm really
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: hoping that we don't go to places in this plot
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: line that are going to bother me too much. Fingers crossed.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: But they're in this room being observed through the glass,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: and eventually when they wake up, obviously Sanji is out
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: here kicking the fuck out of the walls trying to
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: see if he can break some things down. The first
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: one to wake up is Brooke, because I think he
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: doesn't have blood or tissue, so he overcomes the sleeping
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: gas much more quickly. But I was surprised that it
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: worked on him at all. And then they who is
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: it that they're talking to? Oh? Yeah, they're talking to
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: each other about who could have put them in here.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Chopper is convinced that it's like vampires, and let's see
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: him trying to find Oh, here it is here, it is. Yeah,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: it's the samurai who says it's because he doesn't have
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: any blood, and they say show yourself, and they turn around,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: and I can't his name. I think is saying Kinemon
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: on the subtitle. I don't know if I'm saying that correctly, though.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they actually have used his name
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: in the dialogue yet. They may have, I think at
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: the very end they have, but I just don't remember
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: how it's pronounced. And there are all of these pieces
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: of a face on the ground, his mouth, each eye, nose, chin,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: top of head, all of it is separated from one another,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: and they are cut in like these perfect little cubes.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: And like, obviously this guy doesn't have a body in here,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: it's just his head. So he can't move and he
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: can't put himself back together, so he asks the straw
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: hats to use it to do it, to put it
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: back together, and we get a little sequence of them
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: reassembling his head, vary incorrectly, and eventually they get to
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: a place where things are close enough that he's just like,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: you know what, fine, His chin is upside down on
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: the top of his head, but he's like this is
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: good enough. Whatever. And until they they full he put
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: him back together, they don't seem to register that he's
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: a severed head, but then Sonji points it out and
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: they all get scared again, and he says, the swordsman
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: cut me into many pieces. That villain used some manner
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: of sorcery. He severed my limbs. But I did not bleed,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: I did not die. I was denied a warrior's death. Instead,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: I suffered this indignity. I'm a disgrace. And I really
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: felt bad for him, because, like sometimes in stories, when
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: somebody is like, well, this is an indignity, I am
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: just like, oh, get over yourself. I have no patience
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: for it. But this man has been cut into so
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: many pieces that his legs are just straight up sticking
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: out of the dragon's back with his feet waving in
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: the air. And if he hadn't had any underwear on,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: God knows the whole vibe of this, with his like
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: face being cut into parts. Yeah, he's right, this is
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: an indignity. This is like I would be very, very
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: upset by it as well. So we go back to
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Chopper or oos Up Robin Zorro and Loofy, and Loofy
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: has just really gotten obsessed with the idea of going
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: to the snowy side and making snow cones. I love
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: that he says ice cream you scream snow cones, like
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: he was on track for a certain kind of you know,
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: colloquial Is it colloquialism that I want? But he just
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: just completely veers off to the side. And I always
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: kind of like that joke when it's just very unexpected.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: It's like there's a point in Golden Girls where Rose
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: says the term that is usually said is the more
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: God now I've forgotten it, the lies we weave, the
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: more we practice to deceive something like that. Anyway, she
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: gets it completely wrong, and every time I get to
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: that part, I laugh as if it's the first time,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: because it's so it's so unexpected. You think you know
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: what she's going to say. So when Lufy did that
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: here I scream, you scream snow cones, it's just like, ah,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: never change, buddy. So he is walking towards that side
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: when all of a sudden, somebody comes out of nowhere
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: and tries to bash him with like a spiked mace,
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: and he's like, what the fuck? Who is this? And
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: the person who it's I think yo to Ros, I
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: don't know if I'm saying that right either. He is like, oh,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: I'm your worst nightmare intruder, and he's laughing and ready
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: to fight. And then the smoke clears and he sees
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: that Lufy also has four legs and is very excited,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: apparently to meet somebody else who is like him. Now.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this guy is the result of
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: an experimentation, or if he is a straight up centaur
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: like you know from mythology or what, but evidently it's
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: good that Loofy got stuck to this guy's legs because
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: it is the thing that saved his life. And I
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: love that. This dude says, well, it's nice that your
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: legs have pants. What kind are they? And Lufy's just like, hey,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: I really don't know. His legs start talking without him.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: I thought I was cool when I got a muscle
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: shirt to match my legs, but I've never seen talking
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: legs before. Oh this is so Goofy and his friends
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: are looking down, and Zorro says, oh, great, now he's
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: going to ask that freak show to join the crew,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: which hadn't occurred to me. But it makes a lot
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: of sense why everybody would be assuming that. So we
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: back up even further, and we see somebody looking through
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: like binoculars at all of them and making account of
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: how many there are, and he says four intruders, and
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: he makes a call. And earlier there had been a
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: moment where Oosup saw a weird like it almost looked
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: like a harpie, a woman with like she's got a
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: woman's head, but apparently like birds wings or potentially like
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: a siren. And she disappears and nobody else seems to
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: have seen her except Oosup. So this person makes a call.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: The call gets picked up by a dude who says, yeah,
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: they're right here. I got all four in my sights.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: And then a response from the woman. I think it's
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: the same woman because she's got that bright green hair,
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: and she says, I'll take care of them, don't worry
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: about it. And she says, you have fun with that
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: and licks her lips. Oh, he says he'll take care
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: of them. I thought she was saying it, but no,
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: it's him that says that. But she licks her lips
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: and I was thinking for a moment that she was
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: going to eat them, but then she says, call me
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: back when you're done, So she's not going to have
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: anything to do with this evidently, and she is heading
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: into the snowy area and just sort of, you know,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: doing god knows what, but she seems very entertained by
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: this whole thing. I don't know why she wants them dead.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening here, but that is the
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: end of the episode, is just seeing her or flying
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: over the mountains. So yeah, I enjoyed that. I thought
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: that that was a real weird trio of episodisodes. They've
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: got my attention. I don't know what's coming here, so
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: I will be extremely interested to see. All right, everybody,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: thank you so much, appreciate you all, Thank you Florian
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: for commissioning this one. And until next time to the
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: lude motherfuckers. That was an unspoiled Network podcast.
