Transcript
- 0:02This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me, covering one piece
- 0:12episodes five twenty three and five twenty four, A surprising fact, the man
- 0:17who guarded the Sonny and deadly combat under the sea, the Demon of the
- 0:23Ocean strikes. In these episodes, we find out about what was going on
- 0:29with Kuma. Unfortunately, it seems like his situation is sort of over and
- 0:35done with, but I wish that we could do something to save him.
- 0:39Meanwhile, we've got a kraken. I'm into it, y'all. No,
- 0:44I love shit like this. Welcome to spoil Me, Welcome to the show
- 1:07everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you very much to is it Florian today
- 1:12as it is for commissioning this episode. Hey Florian? Was that was?
- 1:15That was up? Y'all? I just really I want to have everybody off
- 1:23and say that I know that this isn't technically a kraken. I know it's
- 1:29like an octopus and a crack and is like a giant squid. It's fine,
- 1:34Please relax, delete your comment and just chill. Okay, let's be
- 1:38friends. So first thing, first off the top, I just want to
- 1:45let everybody know Owen found a four week old kitten in a truck wheel well
- 1:55at a job he was working on, like in an abandoned parking lot.
- 1:59And she is in my room right now with me because she was crying up
- 2:04a storm when I left her out in our bedroom. And so if you
- 2:07hear some like very shrill mewing, that's where that's coming from. She is
- 2:15extremely loud for such a tiny creature. It's remarkable, very cute, which
- 2:21is probably the reason that she's still alive. But I could probably fit her
- 2:27entire body in my mouth and just like swallow her hole if she irritated me
- 2:30enough. But uh yeah, I just wanted to let you know. If
- 2:34you hear some weird squeaks, that's who that is. And sorry about it.
- 2:42Oh god, I'm sorry. She's on my foot and she's trying to
- 2:46climb up my leg as we speak. Hold on, maybe I should just
- 2:50pick her up. Are you here? Come here? All right, I'm
- 2:54gonna I'm gonna keep her up here with me. How's that? Everybody who
- 3:00is not here watching this on screen, you're really missing out some on some
- 3:05primo kitten content here. She's all shaggy in the back here because I had
- 3:12to bathe her because she pooped all over herself. She still doesn't really know
- 3:15how to how to poop like a civilized creature yet. Okay, okay,
- 3:21okay, down here, stay down here and just be cool. She won't
- 3:28be cool, my promise, all right. So I really like these two
- 3:31episodes. Actually, I'm a big fan of our you know, the voyage
- 3:37under the Sea. I think this is a really cool, like visually,
- 3:40I bet it was fun to animate, and I'm really interested in the mechanics
- 3:50of the coating that has been put on the ship because the way that this
- 3:54works, and it turns out like this coating can be put on individual people
- 3:59as well, well, that's really going to open up some interesting possibilities here
- 4:04in a way that's like considering everything. It almost feels like a little too
- 4:11much freedom for our guys to be able to like go out into the water.
- 4:15But also I was having a sort of anxiety of my own not knowing
- 4:20what this little coating could handle. I say little sounds so dismissive, but
- 4:26it's like very impressive. But we actually get to see the extent of it
- 4:30and the kinds of beatings it can take and still either maintain its shape or
- 4:35repair itself pretty quickly, which is it's impressive. I was. I'm sorry,
- 4:44guys, this kitten is like in my face, she just needs to
- 4:48take a nappy nap. She's just trying to get warm here, just stay
- 4:53here. I'm so sorry you guys. Oh okay, So let's start things
- 5:03off from the beginning of this episode though, because this like a scene with
- 5:12what is his name, wet hair Caribou. I do not like this man
- 5:16at all. It's like even worse somehow when later on he turns out to
- 5:23be such a sniveling coward. Seeing the way that he just turned like didn't
- 5:29about face on his attitude toward them, it's so cringey. It's so embarrassing,
- 5:35like have some fucking pride, man, but he does not. He
- 5:40just instantly completely caves. And I won't kind of wish that his men had
- 5:46been there to see that, because I feel like they would have been they
- 5:49would have a different attitude about him if they had gotten to see the way
- 5:53that he just just put his tail between his legs, you know what I'm
- 5:59saying. And the first time that we come across him in these episodes,
- 6:04he's having some of the fake straw Hats dig their own graves. Oh okay,
- 6:12that's enough, little kid, that's enough. You go back down there.
- 6:16She clawed my lip. That's where I draw the line. And he's
- 6:21telling them, you've lied without remorse and deception is a sin. But he
- 6:28says this right after he tells them that he was lying about wanting to join
- 6:33the straw Hats because he was planning to immediately double cross them and get their
- 6:36bounties. This is very typical of his type, this kind of hypocrisy.
- 6:45I'm not surprised, but also sir, for the love of God. So
- 6:50anyway, we get to see again this like thing with him. It's like
- 6:56mud. I guess I had said before that he was able to turn himself
- 7:00into a liquid, but as much as it is technically a liquid, it's
- 7:05not water. It looks more like mud. And he is like smothering people
- 7:13by, like over the head with it, and I guess killing them like
- 7:19he does it to the fake Sangi, who just drops to the ground and
- 7:25I think that he's actually dead, but it's hard to say how who's like
- 7:30on the chopping block in this show. But anyway, so we then have
- 7:39the talk from I can't remember his name. I keep doing this sent tomorrow.
- 7:45Did I get that right? I hope I got that right. And
- 7:47he's the one who is warning all of the Marines that they are up against
- 7:53a much stronger group of straw hats than they were last time. And basically,
- 7:59like, guys, I know that you think you know what's coming,
- 8:03you don't, and you need to like get yourself ready. So this I
- 8:11am really enjoying this like new attitude that everybody is having about the straw Hats
- 8:20already, Like I kind of expected. I kind of expected that their reputation
- 8:31wasn't going to be so elevated so quickly, and honestly, there is a
- 8:39part of me that wishes it had it wasn't like something everybody was aware of.
- 8:46At the same time, it does maybe like stave off some trouble in
- 8:52the future that our friends might run across. And I say, maybe,
- 8:58like I acknowledge that it's not a perfect shield or anything, but if folks
- 9:03out there are aware that you have leveled up quite a bit, maybe they
- 9:09will think twice about coming at you with the energy that they would have used.
- 9:13So I like to think that at the same time, what haird Caribou
- 9:18doesn't seem to fall into that category. He's willing to come at them anyway,
- 9:22and it seems pretty clear he is not up for it. So I
- 9:26guess it's just if people are smart, they'll back off unless they really either
- 9:33don't know or underestimate them, or are more focused on the bounty than anything.
- 9:43So the conversation, by the way, San Tomorrow is like surrounded by
- 9:50these Kumas that are on the ground, because reminder, our friends were able
- 9:56to deal with them in pretty short order. Find out a little bit later
- 10:01what was going on with Kuma. But first let's talk real quick about Railey,
- 10:05because he's he's thinking back to the moment when gold Roger approached him and
- 10:15was trying to get him to become part of his crew. And I have
- 10:20to mention that gold Roger is out here with that straw hat, which I
- 10:24didn't realize was his thing also, and he Raley is like reclining on a
- 10:31boat and says that he stole the boat after his house burnt down, which
- 10:37we don't know that story, right, And then Roger says, I think
- 10:46it's destiny that we met. Why don't we just go out on the high
- 10:52seas on this dope boat that you have and turn the world upside down and
- 10:56just be partners and besties forever. And this dude, I'm sorry, the
- 11:03cat is still here like on me and really understandably. I love the fact
- 11:07that Raley actually says this in the kinds of words that I would use.
- 11:13Maybe that's just the dub, but he says, are you serious because I
- 11:18literally just met you like thirty seconds ago, and why don't you just go
- 11:24get one of your like a boat of your own. And gold Roger says,
- 11:28one of these days you're gonna look back at this and realize it was
- 11:31the beginning of the greatest adventure ever known. And when we come into the
- 11:37present, Railey is like tearing up at this memory and just realizing, like,
- 11:43oh my god, he was right. I didn't know what was happening
- 11:46at the time, but it was like a complete turning point in my life.
- 11:52And it's just really interesting to see young gold Roger. He looks so
- 11:56much like Louvie and the whole attitude of just I'm gonna approach a stranger and
- 12:01be like, Okay, now we're friends that will die for each other instantly.
- 12:07I mean that's a very familiar behavior. I'm just saying I was a
- 12:13little bit disappointed that we didn't get a better look at young Raleigh, because
- 12:18you guys know that I thought that Railey was fine even as an older gent,
- 12:24But I have to imagine when he was younger it was pretty good.
- 12:28We just see that his hair was blonde, that's all we got, but
- 12:33otherwise not much of a look. His facial hair seems to be different.
- 12:39It looks like it's just a couple of stripes only, and not like the
- 12:41kind of more beardy thing that he's got going on now. It sort of
- 12:46reminded me of the facial hair on Oh my God, I can't remember the
- 12:52name of the guy with the black hair and the submarine law, right,
- 12:58Trafalgar Law kind of reminded me of that anyway. Okay, so that's that
- 13:03with Rayley. Now we'll cut back to our friends who are on the ship
- 13:09descending into the water and really like loving the whole vibe from down here,
- 13:15the view of the fish, getting to see the roots of the mangrove trees
- 13:20and how like it reminds them that those islands are actually trees. And it
- 13:26was something for me that I was surprised they had forgotten, because that's all
- 13:31I can think about when I look at Sabaodi, It's like those are all
- 13:35trees and just surprised me. I guess it's probably different when you're actually on
- 13:39it and everybody's having sort of like different responses in terms of like Robin and
- 13:48Frankie are pure this is so cool, not me is like this is cool,
- 13:52but this is also a little bit freaky. Oosop is like, oh
- 13:56my god, I'm fine, it's fine. But he says something like I've
- 14:01done this a million times, and I was like, that's just a straight
- 14:05up lie, right, or there's nothing that we don't know about him in
- 14:09this respect. I have to admit, though, I don't know how he
- 14:13got here, so it's possible that he was like on a coated ship to
- 14:20get to the island to meet them up again, but I don't think so,
- 14:24so I think he's just straight lying. Of course, poor Chopper is
- 14:28the one that's like really freaking out the most, and then we have both
- 14:33Zoro and Loofy like completely disregarding any sense of like safety, precaution anything and
- 14:46trying to catch fish through the coating on the ship in a way that I
- 14:54would have expected fully to break through it. Loofy just manages to go up
- 15:00and like bounces against it. Zoro doesn't get a chance, I don't think,
- 15:05because I feel like Zoro, if he really used an ability, he
- 15:09could slash this thing, no problem. I mean he can. We saw
- 15:11that with the other ship. So and excuse me, oh my god,
- 15:22forgive me. Guys. This episode is really gonna be a little bit of
- 15:26a mess. I'm sorry. If you want to see the kitten by the
- 15:30way, you can go to a Instagram or TikTok. I have a TikTok
- 15:33account. I've been putting a little video over up and on my Facebook.
- 15:39So the rundown that we get because like I think, it's uh Frankie who
- 15:46says, nommy, you know some things about this, so why don't you
- 15:50give us like a checklist of what we need to know about how this works?
- 15:56Oh no, wait, I lie. It's Sanji who says that,
- 16:00because he then turns to her and it's a mistake. He turns to her
- 16:08and she says, good point, okay, And she turns to him and
- 16:15she's in a bikini top, and he has such a rush of blood that
- 16:23it sends him skyrocketing into the air and through the coating, which I'd just
- 16:30like to point out that Lufy's like desire to catch a fish is pretty strong
- 16:34and that wasn't enough to break the coating the coating, but Sanji's nosebleed was,
- 16:40so that is serious. We find out later that he's got blood loss
- 16:44issues, which I honestly found very funny because I had just been thinking the
- 16:48other day about how it would be an interesting plot point if he actually made
- 16:52himself sick because he was just like having nose bleeds too often, and I
- 16:57really didn't think that we were going to pursue that. But I find it
- 17:00fun I mean, I don't like the cause of it. Obviously, this
- 17:04whole conceit of him just being even more girl crazy than he used to be.
- 17:11It is wearisome. But if it knocks him out for a little bit,
- 17:17maybe that's for the best. I don't know. So, yeah,
- 17:21he goes out there, Loofy manages to like reach out through the coating and
- 17:26grab him, and it was sort of I think that the way that he
- 17:30reaches out, his arm is still coated, because let's see, I'm trying
- 17:37to see how this works. No, he goes through and can't quite reach
- 17:44him at first. He's like the fucking seawater because it affects his powers and
- 17:48he needs to have his friends like yank him back, which we then see
- 17:52later as well with Robin because she has to use her powers. And I'd
- 17:56forgotten that the seawater is like anathema to them for their abilities. I think,
- 18:03and I'm just going to say this, I think it's a bit of
- 18:08a cheat for their powers to work at all. I get the temptation to
- 18:17do this, but if you can make a cage out of like seastone and
- 18:26just being in it near it is enough to keep you from being able to
- 18:30use your abilities, I think that your whole arm submerged in seawater should do
- 18:37the same thing. I just think that trick is it cheat? But whatever,
- 18:42it's fine. So yeah, they have to like get him some blood,
- 18:48and they're worried about like whether or not the blood on Fishman Island is
- 18:52even going to be compatible, Like we don't even know if they have the
- 18:56same blood as humans, And Nami describes that like a sea kin chomping down
- 19:03on the ship would definitely be able to break it, but there's a lot
- 19:07of other stuff that it can withstand. And that also it's like a single
- 19:15shot maybe won't penetrate, but if somebody shot a bunch of projectiles at once,
- 19:22that would be an issue. And if we crash into a rock or
- 19:27a trench, the bubble could burst as well. It doesn't like protect us
- 19:33from all damage, Like we're not inside a balloon, you know. I
- 19:40love how she says. I mean, of course Lufy's just going to try
- 19:42and get us all killed, but what else is new? She just very
- 19:45much takes that as like a given, which I think is probably the right
- 19:49attitude to have. But then she has to add seventy percent of the people
- 19:55who had to Fishman Island sink, which I just feel like probably was a
- 20:00good piece of information to just keep to yourself. Oh no, Namy,
- 20:06I'm just saying I feel like you could just you could know that you could
- 20:11tell some others that I don't feel like Oosop and Chopper are the ones to
- 20:17tell. That's just my opinion. So this is, when they're cruising on
- 20:27a sea current, we get like a look at them sort of continuing to
- 20:30descend, and the light changes a little bit because at first, as they're
- 20:34thinking, all of these shafts of sunlight are penetrating the water and it's really
- 20:40really beautiful. But as you get further and further down, the light begins
- 20:45to dim someone And I don't think it's ever going to be just like pitch
- 20:48black like it really would be, but uh, it's definitely not the same
- 20:52sort of like if there's something almost like tropical vacation like about it. When
- 20:59they first heading down and it becomes more and more ominous, I would say,
- 21:06the further down they go. So this is a point where Frankie tells
- 21:11all of them all, right, guys, I think that there is something
- 21:12that you should know about what happened with the sonny, because initially they had
- 21:19what's his face, the guy who got made hot by being kicked by Sanji.
- 21:27But he says, like, you know, he was the original one
- 21:32that was meant to handle watching over the sonny, and he got attacked so
- 21:38much that eventually Hatchie was the one that had to take over watching over the
- 21:45ship. And oh my god, I forgot that. When he first says
- 21:51that he has this stuff that he wants to tell them, he lufy oos
- 21:55up and Chopper all think that he's about to reveal more and exciting features about
- 22:03his robot suit, and I do really enjoy how all he can do.
- 22:11He just says things in a robot like voice, and that seems to be
- 22:15enough for them. They say, like, he speaks robot, which is
- 22:18not anything you guys, But sure anyway, sorry, I just that moment
- 22:23is very funny. I'm trying to see because I know he mentions the name
- 22:30Hachi was supposed to show us the way to Fishman Island himself, but he
- 22:34got hurt real bad back on Sabaodi. He came down here ahead of us
- 22:38to get medical treatment. Anyway, it was the same thing that happened to
- 22:41Duval, that's his name. He was protecting the Sunny for anyone who from
- 22:48anyone who came for it. Things got ugly about a year ago when the
- 22:52Navy found out the ship was docked here. Both him and Duval got taken
- 22:56out in a big fight. So a full year after that, the Sonny
- 23:03is still waiting for them, and they're like, well, then, who
- 23:06the fuck like held on to it for us? And he says a secret
- 23:11ally, the one that separated us the Warlord Kuma. Turns out, Bartholomewkuma
- 23:18was on our side the whole time. A few days back, when I
- 23:22made it to the Sonny, I couldn't believe my eyes. He was right
- 23:26there and I love him. Like the look on his face, sweating as
- 23:32he comes up to Kuma, who is like in a very weird state.
- 23:37When he walks up, just all scratched and cut up, like his sword
- 23:41sticking out of him. This dude has clearly been through it, and Kuma
- 23:47says, I've been waiting for you, And Frankie, of course, thinks
- 23:49this means like I'm going to shred you to pieces. And Kuma stands up
- 23:55and says mission accomplished and just walks past him, all of this like electricity
- 24:03and everything shorting around him like he could barely continue. And Frankie is on
- 24:10the defensive. He's got his hand up, expecting that this thing is going
- 24:12to attack him, but it doesn't. It just keeps walking past him like
- 24:17it doesn't even notice him. And he says that he talked to Rayleigh later
- 24:23and Kuma told him, I'm a member of the Revolutionary Army. If it's
- 24:27within my power, I want to help the straw hats escape from here.
- 24:33Frankie says, you guys probably knew something was up, but now we know
- 24:36the truth. He saved the sonny and he saved our lives. And after
- 24:41we were sent flying from the island, Kuma paid Rayleigh a visit and dropped
- 24:45another bombshell. And I love when the animation shows Kuma going over to see
- 24:52Raleigh. He is almost the same size as the entire building that Raley is
- 24:59in. I mean, it's it's a little excessive, That's all I'm saying.
- 25:06But yeah, Kuma says, I don't have much time, not as
- 25:10myself. Frankie says, the details are a little sketchy, but evidently Kuma
- 25:15surrendered his body to the Navy. They used him as an experiment and replaced
- 25:19his body parts one by one. By the time the War of the Best
- 25:23ruled around, his personality had been completely erased. And I was like,
- 25:30how like just saying he surrendered his body to the navy, saying like the
- 25:37details are a little sketchy is one thing, but that is a massive thing
- 25:41to be like, oh, yeah he did this, and you know,
- 25:42and then this happened. No no, no, no, no, you
- 25:45don't get to just say, oh, he did this thing that's insane and
- 25:49then just like waltz right past it onto the other stuff. Why would he
- 25:53do that if he's not working for them? Like really, if he's actually
- 25:59a part of the revolutionaries, why would he surrender his body to them?
- 26:03Like is there a bit of a cheat code implanted in all of the Kuma
- 26:10bots that is, like a back door virus that he can eventually turn them
- 26:15on their owners? Like anyway, Chopper here chimes in and says, Okay,
- 26:22well, he sent us as to those islands, but he didn't know
- 26:25what we do when we got there, or even if we would make it
- 26:30back at all. So Chopper, I was kind of surprised by this because
- 26:34I thought Chopper was going to be like, oh my god, and he
- 26:37sent us to places that would benefit us. But Chopper is very unwilling to
- 26:45sort of give him the benefit of the doubt right off the bat, and
- 26:48I actually kind of respected that. So Yeah, this is when Frankie says
- 26:56he made a deal with Vegapunk defend the thousand Sonnies from any the thousand Sonny
- 27:03from any attackers until the moment that a straw hat returns to claim it.
- 27:07Even though he's been reduced to a living weapon with no memory. He's been
- 27:11carrying out his own orders protecting our ship for the past two years to fulfill
- 27:17his last wish. And Zoro says, why he barely knew us, why
- 27:22did it matter to him? And Oosop is like, well, if he's
- 27:25a member of the revolutionary army, which is being led by Lufi's dad,
- 27:29then it's probably that connection, like you know, and I think that makes
- 27:33sense, but maybe that's too easy an answer. I don't know. The
- 27:41bottom line is our survival and all the things we accomplished in the past two
- 27:44years we owe to him, whatever his reason was, we should be grateful.
- 27:49That's Frankie Sanji seems to be really the only one that's sort of like,
- 27:56yeah, no, fuck that guy. But yeah, he says in
- 28:00his personality is gone. Nos, So there's no point in like questioning it
- 28:03because we're never going to be able to ask him, and we just have
- 28:07to appreciate everything that he did for us until he took his last breath as
- 28:12a human. It's too bad that we won't be able to thank him,
- 28:17because once we see him again, he's going to be a weapon and he's
- 28:21going to be our enemy. But uh yeah, that's the story, and
- 28:25I thought y'all should know about it. So I knew, you know,
- 28:30like by this point that Kuma was on their side somehow. It all,
- 28:36you know, right from when he had his weird confrontation with Zoro. It
- 28:41just felt like, what's happening here? Because he wasn't actually doing anything to
- 28:48hurt Zoro in a genuine way, that Zorro wasn't inviting. The whole situation
- 28:56just felt so strange. So this is not, you know, a surprising
- 29:03revelation in itself, but I do appreciate the explanation of why the sunny is
- 29:08still sitting there. I feel like if the entire if all the Marines came
- 29:15to take it, one person protecting it is not enough, even Kuma.
- 29:19But it doesn't matter ultimately. So anyway, this is a spot where we
- 29:26go to Caribou. He is also in a coated ship. He sees the
- 29:30straw hats and is like, all right, this is it, guys,
- 29:34We're gonna fucking hit them. Frankie is talking about the aphotic zone. Aphot
- 29:44Ic about one thousand meters give or take, and I guess that's the spot
- 29:53where he's talking about like the light beginning to dim, and this is when
- 30:00they begin to see some other huge creatures. A whale goes by, and
- 30:06they finally spot caribou coming at them, and Caribou they are thinking at first
- 30:12that he wants to crash into them, but they begin to understand that his
- 30:18intention is to board them. And when we go to Caribou himself, he
- 30:26says something about, how I know what you're all thinking. If they're wanted
- 30:30dead or alive, why don't we just kill them and then we can claim
- 30:33the bounty. And he says that wouldn't do The Navy wouldn't know who killed
- 30:38them. We have to deliver their heads personally on a silver platter. Then
- 30:44they will fear us. The whole world will know our strength. And I
- 30:52like, if you yeah, I guess the point is, like, of
- 30:57course you don't want to just kill them if you're going to be collecting their
- 31:02bounty. Nobody's gonna believe you when you just say, oh, they're ship
- 31:04crashed and they're all dead. You can't just tell people that, like nobody's
- 31:08gonna buy that. You're not getting money out of that. So the episode
- 31:15ends with him being like, all right, here we come charge. And
- 31:19it turns out, guys that he has got that see cow in his employ
- 31:27And when I tell you that this thing being back and still used for evil
- 31:33makes me desperately sad, that is no overstatement. I mean, my god,
- 31:38let this guy rest, for the love of Pete. It just feels
- 31:44mean spirited at this point. Let him come back and the sonny be his
- 31:49new client and he gets treated really, really well. That's all I want.
- 31:55That's all I'm asking is for him to like have better people watching out
- 32:00for him, giving a shit about whether he's okay. But once it crashes,
- 32:06he's gone, he disappears. So I'm just sort of sad about it.
- 32:10I just this guy is an evil. He's being used for evil.
- 32:15He's like a pit bull that's been taught to fight. It's not his fault,
- 32:19it's his owner's fault. So anyway, the ship is pressed right up
- 32:25against them, they begin to realize, oh, okay, he's trying to
- 32:29board us, and you see that one of their mass is starting to like
- 32:35press into the coating on the sunny and threatening to pop it. And then
- 32:42one of the dudes yells for the cow to attack them again. I just
- 32:46really don't like it. And finally the bubbles, as they begin to sort
- 32:52of bounce off of each other, the opening begins to like it becomes clear
- 33:00what it is that he's attempting to do here. This is when Nami recognizes
- 33:07the sea cow and she says, MoMu, it's me. We've met before.
- 33:10You're from the Rlong Pirates, right, do you remember me? Nami?
- 33:15I was at our long park. And he sees her face and his
- 33:20like eyes dilate completely, like oh shit, and he sees soanjy and remembers
- 33:29all of them fighting him and beating the hell out of him, and he
- 33:32gets this really scared face, y'all absolutely not. I hated this so much.
- 33:40I don't want him to be scared of them. I want them to
- 33:45all be friends, please, I don't you know, like anyway. So
- 33:55this is when fucking Caribou is like all right here and he manages to like
- 34:00push himself through the hole in the bubbles and his pirates are behind them him,
- 34:08and he's like, all right, guys, follow me through. We'll
- 34:12strike while the iron is hot. And as he's standing there waiting for his
- 34:17crew to like open fire. This is so funny, you guys. The
- 34:24sea cow, which has realized that he is up against some people he does
- 34:29not want any smoke from, just disappears. He just takes off with these
- 34:34guys. And so there's this huge grand stand speech that Caribou makes because he
- 34:42doesn't realize he's alone. And I love that the voice actor delivers it with
- 34:49just as much fervor as he would if it were true all of these men
- 34:54were with him. I love the contempt on all the straw hats faces as
- 34:59they just stay and they're looking at him with no fear at all. I
- 35:02want every last one of them dead. Send these straw hats to hell.
- 35:08And he throws his arms wide. There's this long pause and nothing happens,
- 35:15and he's got his head thrown back. I mean, it's amazing. And
- 35:20then he slowly looks over his shoulder and realizes that there's nobody there. I
- 35:25almost feel sorry for him. I almost do, except that he is so
- 35:29awful. And Frankie just walks right up to him and grabs him and begins
- 35:36to walk him to the edge of the boat. And I love him.
- 35:39You're not gonna throw me in the water, right come on, friend,
- 35:43don't do that. Wood be reasonable. By the way, you're very good
- 35:47looking. I'm sure someone like he understands the value of human life. Right.
- 35:52Oh my god, this dude. So Frankie throws him down to the
- 36:00deck, which is more than he deserves. I really did want him to
- 36:04just throw him in the water. Just go ahead. I wouldn't mind if
- 36:06he even lived because of that. But it is interesting to have him on
- 36:09the ship because he winds up trying to help them, because he realizes,
- 36:14like if they are fucked up, then he's going to die as well.
- 36:17And he is looking around like understanding he knows who everybody is. He keeps
- 36:24trying to pretend that he's not even one of those pirates. Why would you
- 36:28think I'm the captain? I mean, I was being kept as a slave.
- 36:32That's it. I'm so glad that's over. Oh my god, this
- 36:37dude, I swear to god, it's so uh. Anyway, so the
- 36:47moment that he meets Nami, guys, he licks his mouth. Who's this
- 36:57vixen? I'm so tired of it, y'all, I really am. I
- 37:02just want to remind everybody about that time that we were meeting actual wolves in
- 37:10the woods, and they even wanted to fuck not me, and how apparently
- 37:16that was just something that we accepted that wolves also are sexually attracted to a
- 37:22human woman. Oh my god, so we've got fucking Sangy flying around as
- 37:35well. He defends her from this oggling, only to ogle her himself,
- 37:39and at least he doesn't actually break through the bubble, but he hits the
- 37:44ceiling. The other pirates are like, all right, Bud, we're coming
- 37:49back. We're going to rescue you. We're turning around, and they do.
- 37:53I appreciated their loyalty in the attempt, but it gets interrupted by it's
- 38:06not a sea king that bites them in half. I don't even remember.
- 38:09They just get you know, it's very sudden. Meanwhile, everybody on the
- 38:17sunny is putting on coats and stuff because as they're getting further and further underwater,
- 38:23it's starting to get colder. I actually really like this detail as well.
- 38:29Oh my god, you guys, there is this moment. This really
- 38:31really made me laugh. I'll explain in a second. So Chopper is talking
- 38:39here, it is with Brooke as Nami puts a sweater on and is explaining
- 38:47that it's going to be getting colder, so everybody should put on a coat,
- 38:52and Brook says, I'm already starting to feel goosebumps on my well except
- 39:00for I, and Chopper chimes in with you don't have any skin because you're
- 39:06a skeleton. And then we see Brooke just kneeling on the ground with the
- 39:10like lines above him, groaning, and he says, Chopper, skull jokes
- 39:19are the only thing I have. Please don't take that away from me.
- 39:23This was so funny. I loved it so much because, like, the
- 39:30jokes are transparent, like you know when they're coming. Of course, you
- 39:34know you can see the setup a mile away, so it feels almost like
- 39:37the author acknowledging, like, yeah, guys, I realize that this is
- 39:40never like a new thing, but it's his thing and we're just gonna let
- 39:45him do it. Can you just all be cool about it? Please?
- 39:49And this reminds me there is a Key and Peel episode where a bunch of
- 39:54friends are hanging out and one of them is like, oh man, he
- 39:58got the pussy on the chain wax and everybody's like, oh shit, really,
- 40:01and he keeps saying it like it means something really good. But this
- 40:06dude is like, yeah, but what does it mean? And his friend
- 40:09is like, it means he had the pussy on the chain work, and
- 40:15he just keeps saying it in different tones, acting as if that explains it,
- 40:20and his friends are like cheering and backing him up. But the one
- 40:22guy is like, no, but what does that mean though, Like where
- 40:29does that come from? And he finally like pushes and pushes asking until the
- 40:35dude who's been saying it is like, hey man, you know, like
- 40:38a couple of weeks ago, Barbara left me and then I lost my job
- 40:44and they came and they took my car. I'm staying at my mom's and
- 40:47you know, I just I just made up a funny saying and just said
- 40:52it and people went with it, and I just really would appreciate it if
- 40:58you would just let me have that. And eventually it shows them, like
- 41:01later on in the episode, saying he got the pussy on the chain wax
- 41:06in total sincerity because he has agreed to just let his friend have this even
- 41:08though it makes no sense at all, And this just felt very much like
- 41:14that for me. Just like, dude, come on, so Frankie says,
- 41:21don't you know don't you guys know the water is cold in the deep
- 41:24sea. Hot water rises and cold sinks to the bottom. Lufy says,
- 41:29oh does it? I take very many baths, and I was just like,
- 41:32I I'll beg you don't. The temperature is not the only thing that's
- 41:37different at the bottom, and this is Brooke. Once we move down,
- 41:44we'll find something called deep currents. You don't run into them terribly often,
- 41:49but they're much larger than the regular currents, and they're very unique in that
- 41:52their flow is completely independent of what you see closer to the surface. I
- 41:59love the loos up here is like, wow, you even got a diagram.
- 42:06That's because I'm so old, I'm wise. We get to see this
- 42:10like weird animation of a dragon with tons of loops, and how they flow
- 42:15in all of these different directions, and this is actually a real thing.
- 42:20They eventually come across an underwater waterfall, and I don't know if any of
- 42:28you have like looked into this kind of thing, but when you see video
- 42:34of it, it's such a mind fuck because it does not visually look like
- 42:37it makes sense, but there is some sort of gas that permeates the water.
- 42:43I feel like the gas is coming up from cracks in the ocean floor
- 42:46or something, and it infuses the water and makes it heavier, and so
- 42:51it pours down, but only the water that's like close to these crevices,
- 42:57and then the rest of the water is unaffected. So it is a literal
- 43:01underwater waterfall. And it's so odd looking. So it'll be very interesting to
- 43:07see the way that. Because above ground everything is so weird, I'd be
- 43:15willing to accept anything that he puts, you know, on paper in terms
- 43:19of like the world itself and how geography works and whatever. It doesn't make
- 43:23sense, but it's fine. I don't care if it makes sense. But
- 43:30underwater is so weird anyway, Like we are really not delving into the deep
- 43:40sea in the way we should in terms of like discovering knowledge and resources.
- 43:47We have more knowledge of outer space than we do of our own oceans.
- 43:52If that's still true, I believe it is. And it's just so how
- 44:01unwilling we are. It's almost like a person being afraid to pursue therapy and
- 44:12look inward and instead try all of these external things to sort of make themselves
- 44:16feel better that don't actually add up to happiness. It's like a weird physical
- 44:22manifestation of that of just like, yeah, we'll look to outer space and
- 44:27yeah, we're fucking our resources up here on Earth, but we'll just find
- 44:30a different planet and we'll just go to that planet instead and find more resources
- 44:34and be fine. We've got a whole ocean that we don't even know what's
- 44:37down there. What are you doing? Why wouldn't you check that out and
- 44:40try to get it and understand what's happening. Anyway, what I'm saying is
- 44:45Oda could probably do a bunch of shit that's actually real, and it would
- 44:51feel like wild world building that was made up, because the ocean is a
- 44:58bizarre a place that's just like really so different depending on what parts of the
- 45:08world you're in, depending on the light sources, the the the effect of
- 45:17like human influence on the acidity of the water, and that effects like plankton,
- 45:23and that effects the kinds of fish that can feed there, and so
- 45:27the whole like everything is different. And I find it so fascinating how an
- 45:34ocean in one place will feel like a completely different planet than the ocean somewhere
- 45:37else. So this even Brooke is talking about how this is two thousand years
- 45:45old, and because of that, there are countless tales about what lurks within
- 45:51the dark currents, monsters, curses, the wrath of the unda. He
- 46:00says this, Choppers says, you mean the deep sea is haunted, and
- 46:05Brookes says, wait, what the sea is haunted? These guys are so
- 46:09dumb. I really do like them though. No Me says, look,
- 46:16we are going to come across a downward current soon, so I don't know
- 46:21about undead, but we can ride that into the deep sea. We should
- 46:25be good with that. And I love that there's a slow pan across all
- 46:30their faces as they just like repeat her words back but clearly did not understand
- 46:37her at all, And she's really irritated with the fact that they're too dumb
- 46:43to understand what she's saying, which honestly her explanation of how the coating on
- 46:47the ship. I definitely understood them all, just being like, girl,
- 46:53if it works, it works. I really don't need to know all this.
- 46:55It's fine. But this was a very simple thing she was saying.
- 47:00And the fact that they're just completely tuning her out. Oh my god,
- 47:06there is this weird moment where where is it hold on? Oh? Yeah,
- 47:13Brooke asks, shall we sing a duet out of nowhere? Then we
- 47:17see like the flags beginning to go crazy, a lot more fish. There's
- 47:22like debris sort of in the water, and Robin looks up and she is
- 47:25like, oh, it's here, not me, I see it. So
- 47:31they all go up onto the higher deck and this is when they see this
- 47:37wild waterfall. It's so like it's called the downward plume, she says.
- 47:47And the face that Lufy makes when he sees it is so funny to me.
- 47:52He looks like one of those little like figurines that they draw a Victorian
- 47:55people gathered to sing Christmas carols with the perfect oh for a mouth. But
- 48:01yeah, they're heading towards it, and it's just like so the there's something
- 48:07very overwhelming about it because they're in the midst of water. They're just at
- 48:12the mercy of this thing, you know, which is what's scary about being
- 48:16underwater as well, is that if she doesn't go your way, like sucks
- 48:23for you. I love Frankie's saying, Mother Nature, you're one crazy lady.
- 48:31He is fucking correct. Oosop is the one who's like, oh my
- 48:37god, it is so dark down there, and the floor is so far
- 48:40away that we can't even see it. We're going to be driven down straight
- 48:45to the bottom now me. He says to Frankie, are you sure it's
- 48:50safe if we just go with the flow, And he says, don't worry
- 48:55about it, Sonny was built from the treasure tree, Adam, it's as
- 48:59tough as they come. Don't worry about this ship. So Loofy just thrust
- 49:07his hands in the air and says, all right, let's go. But
- 49:13then when haired Caribou looks over the side, there's this light that comes on
- 49:20out of nowhere, and he says, crap. So it really does live
- 49:24down there. And I was like, oh, of course there's a thing
- 49:28down there. It can't be easy, of course it can't. We've got
- 49:31to deal with this with a creature. So here it is, and it's
- 49:37really like the way that this is done is cool because the camera sort of
- 49:43pans down and you don't even see really a silhouette of it because it's so
- 49:46dark. You just see the yellow glowing eye and the sunny reflected in it,
- 49:54so you can tell that it has seen them, and it's just the
- 49:59very it's a very intimidating a moment when you're not even sure what it is
- 50:04that's got there its eye on them, you know, and it like when
- 50:10the camera sort of pulls back after its eye closes again. I wasn't really
- 50:16sure what it was we were going to be dealing with. It didn't fully
- 50:21look like, uh, octopus. It almost looked kind of weirdly human.
- 50:28But yeah, this is when Caribou warns them all that there's a monster down
- 50:31there. Oos Up tries to be like, there's no monster, what are
- 50:36you talking about? And I was like, oos Up, you were just
- 50:37yelling about how you can't even see the floor of this, and now you're
- 50:42gonna just be dismissive of this guy. Look, I get being dismissive in
- 50:45just the sense that he is an enemy and you just don't want to believe
- 50:49shit he says to you because he's been lying since like the instant you met,
- 50:54but also taking that attitude it feels wildly out of care to me.
- 51:02So this is when he says, somebody just made that up to scare people,
- 51:08and we get the sequence of one of the arms coming up behind Oosup,
- 51:15and the way that this is done, there's like a face that crosses
- 51:24over the screen along with a bunch of debris. I'm assuming that's meant to
- 51:30be a dead body, but it was just so like unexpected. You know,
- 51:36we don't deal in corpses that much in this show, so I was
- 51:40just for a moment, I was like, wait, is the monster a
- 51:44person? Is that what's happening? But no, we've got the giant tentacles
- 51:49and as Usap is trying to like reassure everybody that the monster isn't real,
- 51:53he finally like sees everyone pointing and turns around and we get a full view
- 52:00of the ship, like it's outside of there. The octopus has its tentacle
- 52:08curled around another ship, so it's already got something that it's occupied with,
- 52:14which I feel like is the only thing saving them right now is that it's
- 52:16distracted with the toy. But yeah, these uh, they're right within its
- 52:24range. It's not like they're far away enough to really be able to get
- 52:29away without engaging with it. And Lufy is like, I just had a
- 52:35perfect idea. We'll just have to capture it, and of course everybody is
- 52:39like, what are you fucking talking about? Dude? Now, I as
- 52:45much as I was like, I know that that sounds crazy. I have
- 52:50seen the stuff that Lufy has dealt with, and honestly, this didn't seem
- 52:55like such a wild idea to me. Loufy has been in cowing some pretty
- 53:01giant fucking creatures out in nature, and I this is bigger than they were.
- 53:08Yes, but it just felt like, you know what, maybe this
- 53:14is doable, but I wasn't sure. Like everybody else reacts the way that
- 53:16they do, I'm assuming because they don't know what he's able to do these
- 53:22days. You know the movie It is big when oosubs like, look at
- 53:29the size of it. Uh? Oh he does call it a kraken.
- 53:34Oh all right, I'll go with a krakeing. It's one of the most
- 53:37terrible monsters that ever lived. It doesn't have any bones. This is this
- 53:43is brook another moment of Brooks that I've fucking loved. It doesn't have any
- 53:46bones, and I am only bones interesting. I wonder if it enjoys making
- 53:53no skull jokes. These little bits with Brooke are my favorite part of this
- 54:00show right now. I'm not even exaggerating the line delivery alone. This guy
- 54:05is really killing it, and it's always I watched this episode twice. It
- 54:08made me laugh both times. It did not matter. Owen's come in to
- 54:14steal Pippin away and take him to the dog park. So meanwhile, fucking
- 54:21Robin is out here just drawing pictures for posterity, because she is like the
- 54:24record keeper at this point, and they start talking about what they're going to
- 54:30do because obviously from within the ship and Oosap is like, even if we
- 54:37weren't in the ocean, we wouldn't have been able to handle this thing.
- 54:42It's just too long, it's too big. Caribou is off to the side
- 54:47and seemings he seems to be getting like really frustrated by something, and it
- 54:54turns out that he like knows a trick. He knows one weird trick your
- 55:00doctors don't want you to know. But yeah, he's like waiting for them
- 55:04all to like decide what to do, because they're literally just hovering in front
- 55:08of this monster, sort of backbiting about their next steps, you know.
- 55:15Sonjy meanwhile makes some progress here and being able to talk to Nami and not
- 55:20have an instant nosebleed, although it is pointed out that she's no longer in
- 55:23a bikini, so that might be contributing to it. I feel like this
- 55:29could easily veer into territory of like Nami, you need to cover up so
- 55:34that he doesn't act like an idiot, which is really dangerous territory to be
- 55:37heading toward. But here we are, there's all kinds of behavior that's dangerous
- 55:45to be heading toward. Regarding Sonji anyway, I guess so it's too late.
- 55:50Oh right. This is this is when fucking wet haired Caribou's friends come
- 55:57and he's just so happy. He's like, you're the best friends a captain
- 56:01could ask for. And we see the sea Cow pulling the ship and it's
- 56:06crying, you guys again because it's being made to do something it doesn't want
- 56:12to do. I just don't like it. I just don't like it.
- 56:15Why can't this thing get a break? It's been like so many episodes since
- 56:20all this This is like four hundred episodes later, and our friend the sea
- 56:24Cow is still enslaved to monsters. I you know, come on, This
- 56:30is when a tentacle comes up and smashes the ship in half in no time
- 56:37flat. It's so weird, you guys. It's so weird because everything in
- 56:42this episode is drawn out to a degree, the reactions that everybody is having
- 56:47to everything. But this ship, which is bigger than the Sunny by a
- 56:53considerable amount, being snapped in half. Is it's done in two seconds.
- 57:00I am so surprised this wasn't milked more. And I think that partially the
- 57:06point is for it to happen so fast that, like, you can understand,
- 57:08this is nothing to this octopus. It can do this with barely any
- 57:15effort, and so that's meant to be part of the intimidation factor, which
- 57:19is totally fair. It works, but it just it really caught me so
- 57:22off guard. I was like, man, if I looked away from the
- 57:24screen for a second, I would not have understood what happened here. But
- 57:30yeah, totally destroyed the coating. This is when the sea cow just fucking
- 57:34bales and all of Caribou's guys are just floating dead in the water. And
- 57:39they all look identical too, which is so strange. I know that the
- 57:43pirates always have like outfits that go together and stuff, but they don't usually
- 57:46look like carbon copies of each other. It's so weird. Zoro says that
- 57:52they look like jellyfish, and I thought that was actually kind of funny.
- 57:57So this is when everybody is like, there's no way that we can fight
- 58:02a monster like this, and Zoro is pulling his fucking sword out and Lufy
- 58:08is about to bite his thumb. I don't really know. I don't remember
- 58:13how that works for him, but uh, this is finally when Caribou realizes,
- 58:19like, I don't even have my friends coming to get me any avenue
- 58:23of escape from this. All is shot, so I have got to help
- 58:28them survive or I'm not making it either. And he is able to make
- 58:36flutter kick coating. It's an extra vehicular diving suit. As long as you
- 58:42stay inside it, you can fight underwater as much as you need to.
- 58:45And it's Lufy, Zorro and Sanji in it. I would like to reiterate
- 58:51to everybody my profound desire to have at least one woman fighter that's like by
- 58:57default included in the fighting party because Nommy and Robin can both fight at this
- 59:04point, but they don't get put into the group that goes to fight,
- 59:09and it kind of bums me out. I wish that like it was even
- 59:14considered discussed, you know, but it's not. I said earlier that this
- 59:17episode was going to be a mess, and I really I even just got
- 59:22a phone call from my doctor in the midst of all of this that broke
- 59:23up my recording, So sorry about that. It really is, it really
- 59:28is a mess today. So yeah, Nommy tells them, like, whatever
- 59:34you guys do to this thing, please try and stay as far away from
- 59:39the ship as you can so that you don't damage us. And they jump
- 59:46out and they leave the ship. And they were supposed to hold onto some
- 59:51safety ropes so that they could be easily pulled back, and they just leave
- 59:54them on the deck. They just go like f can imbeciles. The only
- 1:00:01person who notices nom Me yelling after them is Sanji, who instantly gets a
- 1:00:07nosebleed and falls behind For a second. We have this weird effect of like
- 1:00:10the blood hitting the windshield of this bubble. And when Zorro says, I
- 1:00:21want why, like, why don't we just cut this thing up? Lufi
- 1:00:24says, because that wouldn't do me any good. I want to capture him
- 1:00:29and keep him as a pet, which I am just not about. Please
- 1:00:34go and capture that sea cow. This thing I don't feel like it's gonna
- 1:00:37want to be a pet. How do you even, like, what do
- 1:00:40you even do with something this big? What do you even do with it?
- 1:00:44I guess it could help pull you and you would make some pretty serious
- 1:00:46time, but I don't know man like anyway. So this is when Frankie
- 1:00:58does his rocket launcher thing, and it just hits this creature and it doesn't
- 1:01:05really seem to do much at all, Like everybody is very impressed with it,
- 1:01:09and it looks super flashy, but the explosion when the camera pulls back
- 1:01:15is just this tiny little spot on this enormous body. And then another one
- 1:01:22of the tentacles rises into the air and Chopper yells guard point, and they
- 1:01:30all like kind of fall to the deck, thinking that they're going to be
- 1:01:32crushed, But when they open their eyes, Chopper has expanded his body to
- 1:01:40the size of the ship, like he has basically turned into a huge bumper
- 1:01:49somehow. And then as the thing gets irritated and smacks at the ship to
- 1:01:54just send it to the bottom and explode, this is when Robin uses her
- 1:02:00ability to make some giant hands that reach out and shove against the rock and
- 1:02:06push the shit back so that it does not crash. Another point with the
- 1:02:12seawater and her power being able to work anyway. So then we get the
- 1:02:19moment of Loofy looking at it and saying third gear, taking a deep breath,
- 1:02:23biting his thumb, and then cut to be continued. So that is
- 1:02:30the end of the episode. But yeah, I really liked these two.
- 1:02:34I'm really excited about their adventures underwater. If they catch this thing, that'll
- 1:02:38be quite a coup, you know, So we'll see. But uh,
- 1:02:44right now, man, I don't feel like this is the best plan.
- 1:02:45I don't know. All right, everybody, thank you all so much for
- 1:02:51your patience. Thank you Florian for commissioning this. I hope y'all are enjoying
- 1:02:54the content, even when I'm messy. And until next time, to a
- 1:02:59loom mother That was an unspoiled network
