0:02
Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me
0:09
Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes six Let's see where are we sorry,
0:16
Speaker 1: guys six thirty seven through six thirty nine, big names
0:20
Speaker 1: duke it out, the heated block B battle, a deadly blow,
0:24
Speaker 1: the astonishing King punch, and the fighting fish strike across
0:30
Speaker 1: the deadly Iron Bridge. In these episodes, I know that
0:40
Speaker 1: I probably should be more invested in all of the
0:42
Speaker 1: people fighting it out in the coliseum, but I think
0:46
Speaker 1: I have established already how weirdly into Sanjy's storyline. I am,
0:51
Speaker 1: and I wish that we got more because it ends
0:54
Speaker 1: on a cliffhanger and I really really want to know
0:56
Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on. Welcome to foil Me,
1:19
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you
1:22
Speaker 1: very much to Florian for commissioning this episode. Thank you, Florian.
1:26
Speaker 1: Florian is here in the chat, so is Saraphim. Sarafhim says,
1:31
Speaker 1: went back to check and seems the Frankie line that
1:34
Speaker 1: had you baffled was mostly a dub issue the sub
1:37
Speaker 1: It's just a more natural feeling. Oh right, he was
1:40
Speaker 1: your brother? Oh okay, okay, yeah, because that was me
1:47
Speaker 1: being hung up on like why wouldn't he know that?
1:49
Speaker 1: And this shouldn't be new information, right right right? Okay,
1:52
Speaker 1: thank you, Sarah. I appreciate you doing a bit of
1:55
Speaker 1: a sleuthing on that just can't of slothing. If it's
1:58
Speaker 1: just like information that is avail, I feel like it
2:02
Speaker 1: still counts, right, Yeah. So these three episodes, like I said,
2:07
Speaker 1: you guys, we have all of these different characters that
2:10
Speaker 1: are fighting it out, and really the vibe for me
2:15
Speaker 1: on this is I just have to let it wash
2:19
Speaker 1: over me because none of these guys are really gonna
2:21
Speaker 1: matter except for the ones that actually end up being
2:26
Speaker 1: the champions of each block. And if the other folks
2:30
Speaker 1: that get knocked out eventually do wind up being somebody
2:33
Speaker 1: that I need to worry about, then I will make
2:36
Speaker 1: an effort more of an effort to remember their names.
2:40
Speaker 1: But from where I am sitting right now, none of
2:43
Speaker 1: these dudes matter. So I am very much over here
2:47
Speaker 1: just like yeah, yeah, let's move this along, you know
2:50
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I was a little saddened at
2:53
Speaker 1: the fact that we get so little of everybody else's deal.
2:57
Speaker 1: We just we have a very brief check in with Frankie,
3:00
Speaker 1: which also kind of ends on this cliffhanger when that
3:03
Speaker 1: little soldier toy is like, you need to learn about
3:06
Speaker 1: the terrible history of dress rosa end of episode, start
3:10
Speaker 1: a new episode, and nothing about that. I really thought
3:14
Speaker 1: the way that ended the next episode was going to
3:17
Speaker 1: be focused mostly on getting that information, and we don't
3:20
Speaker 1: get anything yet, so they are really drawing that out.
3:25
Speaker 1: We get that little bit that with Sanji that I mentioned,
3:29
Speaker 1: I am so interested. We get nothing at all of
3:35
Speaker 1: Zoro in these three episodes and him running after this
3:39
Speaker 1: little fairy pixie thing, so no idea what's going on there,
3:44
Speaker 1: and we do not go back to the sonny, so
3:47
Speaker 1: we just left it in the last section with this
3:50
Speaker 1: bizarre psychedelic vision that everybody has, and just there's just
3:56
Speaker 1: like so many things that I am much much more
4:01
Speaker 1: interested in than the Colisseum fight, and we are not
4:04
Speaker 1: getting any time with those things right now because of
4:06
Speaker 1: this fight, which is just kind of making me feel
4:09
Speaker 1: at this point like I like you even less Colosseum fight,
4:13
Speaker 1: because you're taking attention from the things that I actually
4:15
Speaker 1: care about right now. So yeah, that is my like
4:19
Speaker 1: overall vibe on this. So we pick up where we
4:25
Speaker 1: left off with I think, what is his name, chin
4:30
Speaker 1: Chow because it's like that chin in it, and that
4:34
Speaker 1: is apparently like part of his deal. But he, uh,
4:39
Speaker 1: you know, is the one that like called Loofy by
4:42
Speaker 1: his name and Lufy responded to it. It is very funny,
4:46
Speaker 1: you guys, because I was saying in a couple episodes ago,
4:49
Speaker 1: how is Lufy going to handle the need to keep
4:53
Speaker 1: his identity secret? And he's actually putting in more of
5:00
Speaker 1: an effort than I expected. I'm not trying to say
5:04
Speaker 1: he's doing a good job of it. I am just
5:07
Speaker 1: saying that a lot of the time people tell him
5:09
Speaker 1: something and he goes yeah, yeah, yeah, and then when
5:12
Speaker 1: the time comes, he spends no energy whatsoever on doing
5:16
Speaker 1: what he agreed to two minutes ago, and seems genuinely
5:20
Speaker 1: puzzled that after having said yeah, yeah, yeah, anybody expected
5:24
Speaker 1: him to stick to the thing he said. So the
5:27
Speaker 1: fact that he is actually stopping himself and being like, oh,
5:31
Speaker 1: what do you mean? My name's Lucy, that's more than
5:34
Speaker 1: I thought I was going to get from him. So,
5:37
Speaker 1: you know what, like decent job, Loofy. He even berates
5:42
Speaker 1: himself a little bit for not keeping the promise that
5:48
Speaker 1: he made to Frankie at one point, and it's just like, wow,
5:51
Speaker 1: I really fuck that up. And again Lufy promises people
5:55
Speaker 1: shit all the time and then just doesn't do it.
5:59
Speaker 1: So for him to stop and notice that he like
6:02
Speaker 1: let a friend down, it's just not really something that
6:05
Speaker 1: we have seen from him in this sense. He has
6:08
Speaker 1: let a friend down and been and beaten himself up
6:12
Speaker 1: on it when they've been like captured or are in
6:15
Speaker 1: danger in some way, but when it's just him giving
6:18
Speaker 1: his word about following a plan, like we all know,
6:23
Speaker 1: if there's one thing Lufy has zero respect for, it
6:27
Speaker 1: is plans. He just absolutely could not care less. So yeah,
6:34
Speaker 1: oh sorry, Sarafim says, that's fair. Wait till you know
6:39
Speaker 1: you need to care to care well said. Florian says,
6:43
Speaker 1: this is honestly how I felt first time watching, and
6:46
Speaker 1: Seraphim says, yeah, this is part of the pacing stuff
6:48
Speaker 1: with Dresserosa. There's a lot of different plot lines going on.
6:51
Speaker 1: Then the anime went and stretched everything out even further,
6:54
Speaker 1: and Florian responds, sorry, was not able to update the
6:56
Speaker 1: character spreadsheet this week. It is fine. I really appreciate
7:01
Speaker 1: the effort that you've put into that. Anyway, and it
7:04
Speaker 1: doesn't like I think that based on how many people
7:07
Speaker 1: are getting booted, it would have been a lot of
7:11
Speaker 1: effort for you to update it for people who are
7:14
Speaker 1: not going to matter. So I don't feel like you
7:17
Speaker 1: really need to worry about it until folks are a
7:20
Speaker 1: bit more settled. Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I
7:25
Speaker 1: just went over to the character sheet and Florian has
7:28
Speaker 1: it set up with their iminage of the character, their name,
7:32
Speaker 1: their position more lord of the Sea, officer, agent of
7:35
Speaker 1: do Flamingo, et cetera, and then powers, and Violin is
7:39
Speaker 1: at the bottom and her position is a stabby woman
7:44
Speaker 1: in need and her power is dancing I would say,
7:53
Speaker 1: a stabby woman in need. And Gatz is the Colisseum
7:57
Speaker 1: commentator and his power is talking, which, frankly that is
8:03
Speaker 1: also my power. So me and Gats, even though he
8:06
Speaker 1: kind of sucks, I do relate and I appreciate also
8:12
Speaker 1: honorable mention to the photo of Caesar Clown that Florian used,
8:16
Speaker 1: because he used the exact goofy smiling picture of Caesar
8:20
Speaker 1: Clown that I shared when I was laughing at him
8:23
Speaker 1: during the Live the Wanna Be episode. So Florian ten
8:29
Speaker 1: points to you for this amazing, this, this flawless spreadsheet.
8:35
Speaker 1: I love it so much. I should I should divide
8:39
Speaker 1: my listeners into houses like Hogwarts, and then I can
8:43
Speaker 1: assign points because we'll have like, you know, our one
8:46
Speaker 1: piece houses and our supernatural houses. So anyway, all right,
8:52
Speaker 1: all right, back back into the things. So once again,
8:57
Speaker 1: Cavendish is like, are you loofy or are aren't you?
9:00
Speaker 1: And he's like, no, no, no, I'm not. And he's like,
9:02
Speaker 1: then why did you answer him by this? And he
9:05
Speaker 1: really gets to the point where he just doesn't believe Lufy.
9:07
Speaker 1: Lufy just keeps on responding to Shinjau, trying to like
9:13
Speaker 1: like simultaneously have the conversation with this guy while also
9:17
Speaker 1: trying to tell Cavendish, I'm not who this guy thinks,
9:22
Speaker 1: despite me interacting with him completely as if the as
9:27
Speaker 1: if I am indeed that man. So understandably, Cavendish is
9:31
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, you're you're clearly lying and decides that
9:37
Speaker 1: he doesn't care anymore about this fight. He is going
9:42
Speaker 1: to take Lufy out even if it gets him disqualified.
9:45
Speaker 1: He doesn't care because he is so heated over the
9:49
Speaker 1: fact that Lufi has stolen his popularity, like later on.
9:55
Speaker 1: That's the way he puts it, is that you are
9:57
Speaker 1: somebody who carelessly steals the popularity of others. And honestly,
10:05
Speaker 1: there is something wonderful about the fact that he admits
10:10
Speaker 1: this is his reasoning. I wouldn't mind it if we
10:14
Speaker 1: had a character who tried to pretend that there was
10:17
Speaker 1: something else going on and we found out actually it's
10:22
Speaker 1: it's a much more petty, silly thing, not the thing
10:26
Speaker 1: that he's been telling you. I would I would be
10:29
Speaker 1: into that, and I'm sort of considering that being what
10:33
Speaker 1: like something I write into a little side character in
10:36
Speaker 1: one of my stories is that they act like they
10:39
Speaker 1: have this big vendetta, but really it's something extremely petty,
10:43
Speaker 1: like you wind up getting more Facebook followers than me
10:45
Speaker 1: or something. So anyway, this Cavendish is willing to sacrifice
10:52
Speaker 1: everything that he is here for in order to take
10:55
Speaker 1: Loofy down, which I just thought was really interesting because
11:00
Speaker 1: because he the impression that I got was that, like
11:06
Speaker 1: he was very invested in getting this devil fruit. So
11:11
Speaker 1: if he hates Loofy enough that he is willing to
11:16
Speaker 1: sacrifice his opportunity for this fruit, either this fruit is
11:21
Speaker 1: not as important to him as I thought, or Loofy
11:25
Speaker 1: is way way more of a bother to him than
11:29
Speaker 1: I can even imagine. I'm trying to put myself into
11:33
Speaker 1: his petty shoes, and usually I can do that fairly well,
11:39
Speaker 1: but this is one where I'm just like, you know what, sir, No,
11:43
Speaker 1: you're not okay, Like that's you need to get some therapy,
11:49
Speaker 1: my friend. And it's funny for being somebody who is
11:53
Speaker 1: so allegedly beautiful, women are literally falling down at the
11:59
Speaker 1: sight of this man. Isn't that enough? Isn't that enough?
12:07
Speaker 1: But no, evidently not only is it not enough, but
12:12
Speaker 1: it's like if anybody else ever outshines him, it all
12:17
Speaker 1: falls apart for him completely, which actually kind of tracks.
12:22
Speaker 1: And as somebody who used to really take my appearance
12:27
Speaker 1: super seriously and was not satisfied unless I was the
12:32
Speaker 1: prettiest girl in the room, which often did not happen,
12:38
Speaker 1: it is it's not a great place to live where
12:42
Speaker 1: your self worth is based on everybody else's reaction to you.
12:48
Speaker 1: And it's kind of an irony for me to get
12:50
Speaker 1: to a place in my life where I simultaneously know
12:54
Speaker 1: that that is true, and I am coming more to
12:57
Speaker 1: peace with that, especially aging and realize that sort of
13:01
Speaker 1: beauty is fleeting anyway. But I also have a job
13:05
Speaker 1: now where what people think of me is literally how
13:08
Speaker 1: I make money. So it's kind of difficult to like
13:13
Speaker 1: get to the point where I'm at peace with that
13:16
Speaker 1: and also take my job, like have it be something
13:23
Speaker 1: that I can be objective about and not want to
13:27
Speaker 1: cater to people in a way that is a lot
13:30
Speaker 1: more petty and less about the substance of what I do,
13:33
Speaker 1: if that makes sense, because I often think, you guys,
13:38
Speaker 1: and this is not me fishing for a compliment right now,
13:42
Speaker 1: so please don't. I'm just trying to say this thing
13:44
Speaker 1: because I think we all understand what I'm saying. If
13:48
Speaker 1: I were one hundred and fifty pounds lighter and ten
13:55
Speaker 1: years younger and came on screen in full make up
14:01
Speaker 1: and just had a different look, I am sure I
14:07
Speaker 1: would have more followers on Patreon. It's just a fact.
14:11
Speaker 1: I am certain there is no separating these things from
14:16
Speaker 1: each other. A lot of the time, it's not It's
14:20
Speaker 1: not a thing that makes me happy to know. And
14:24
Speaker 1: yet I know that, and I'm not doing any of
14:29
Speaker 1: that in order to gain followers, because I've reached a
14:33
Speaker 1: point in my life where I'm just sort of like, yeah,
14:36
Speaker 1: you know what if I have to do all that,
14:38
Speaker 1: fuck it, you know. So anyway, what I'm saying is, Cavendish,
14:43
Speaker 1: grow up. Grow up. You're boring and you're basic. So
14:52
Speaker 1: Shinzell is out here about to attack Loofy and then
14:56
Speaker 1: all of his I think his grandsons or his no,
15:00
Speaker 1: I can't remember how these guys are related to him,
15:03
Speaker 1: but they stop him from throwing down, and one of
15:08
Speaker 1: the guards comes by and is just like, oh, beaty, dubs,
15:11
Speaker 1: you will get disqualified if you keep this up. So
15:15
Speaker 1: and uh Chinjau actually turns out to be quite a
15:21
Speaker 1: foe because Loofy punches him and says later to himself like,
15:25
Speaker 1: I did not hold back on that punch, and this
15:29
Speaker 1: dude just shook it off. Basically. Cavendish meanwhile, has a
15:39
Speaker 1: sword called Durandahal, which sounds so familiar to me, and
15:43
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a name that I should recognize,
15:47
Speaker 1: and evidently this sword is super famous. I can't. I'm
15:54
Speaker 1: wondering if this is a sword that Zoro would want.
15:58
Speaker 1: You know, anytime a famous sword pops up, I definitely
16:02
Speaker 1: start to be like Ooh, maybe Zorro will get this
16:06
Speaker 1: sword and be magic more magic, you know, with this sword,
16:10
Speaker 1: and he can't own every fancy sword. Natasha, get a
16:16
Speaker 1: hold of yourself. So I had that thought, and I
16:21
Speaker 1: wanted to share that I had it and admit to
16:23
Speaker 1: you guys that that is where my mind immediately goes,
16:27
Speaker 1: but also recognize the fact that it is not rational
16:30
Speaker 1: and does not make sense, and I acknowledge that. Okay,
16:35
Speaker 1: So Sarah Freim says, Drundell is one of those common
16:41
Speaker 1: public domain artifact names. There are a lot of swords
16:44
Speaker 1: named that in fiction. Okay, thank you, Because yeah, it
16:50
Speaker 1: felt like it was almost giving, like Arthurian legend or something,
16:55
Speaker 1: you know, And I was like, where am I getting
16:58
Speaker 1: this from? And evidently, like it's weird how that sort
17:04
Speaker 1: of thing can happen. It wedges itself into your subconscious
17:07
Speaker 1: that you can recognize it when it pops up and
17:11
Speaker 1: feel a little bit like that's bringing a bell and
17:14
Speaker 1: yet you don't actually know why. So I'm trying to
17:20
Speaker 1: jump around here because the stuff with you know what
17:24
Speaker 1: I want to you guys, let's talk about bartel Leomeo
17:30
Speaker 1: the Cannibal. I really need to admit something here, I'm
17:39
Speaker 1: rooting for this guy. I don't really know why. I
17:47
Speaker 1: think it's like one his overall look I really love.
17:54
Speaker 1: There is just something about the the over over the
18:02
Speaker 1: top but still actually feels like it's a little bit
18:05
Speaker 1: within the realm of like possibility for a regular person.
18:10
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of the people in this show
18:12
Speaker 1: have an over the top look that I am like,
18:15
Speaker 1: no human being would step onto the streets of a
18:18
Speaker 1: city looking like this, And then there are people like
18:22
Speaker 1: him that I'm like, that is a statement look, no doubt,
18:28
Speaker 1: but he feels like almost punk rocky. And it might
18:34
Speaker 1: be the nose piercing I don't know, but there's something
18:38
Speaker 1: about him that really vibes for me as like, no,
18:42
Speaker 1: this guy is kind of giving real life, you know.
18:46
Speaker 1: And also the fact that he is just out here
18:49
Speaker 1: fucking with everybody on a stage where people are taking
18:53
Speaker 1: themselves so seriously. I think that's another part of it,
18:57
Speaker 1: is like I really appreciate anybody who comes into a
19:04
Speaker 1: place where folks are very high on themselves and desperately
19:11
Speaker 1: trying to prove something according to a narrow interpretation of
19:16
Speaker 1: what being the best is, or in this case, it
19:20
Speaker 1: would definitely be masculinity, because once again we have like
19:24
Speaker 1: no women fighting with that one girl that was in
19:30
Speaker 1: three strips of half inch fabric is evidently the only
19:35
Speaker 1: woman fighting in this entire tournament, which is very exhausting,
19:42
Speaker 1: but sure so, I think that's what I enjoy is
19:46
Speaker 1: the fact that he is like making fun of it
19:49
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, the way he just decided,
19:53
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a piss in the water, you
19:55
Speaker 1: know what, and it's simultaneously showing contempt for the whole
20:00
Speaker 1: process of things, but also like later on he's like,
20:06
Speaker 1: I'm standing here vulnerable with my wieder out. He literally
20:10
Speaker 1: says these words, and I cackled so bad, because, as
20:13
Speaker 1: it turns out, this is him just trying to lure
20:16
Speaker 1: people to attack him. He has made himself into a
20:21
Speaker 1: target by looking like he's vulnerable with his wiener out,
20:26
Speaker 1: And in fact it's fine. He can fight just as
20:29
Speaker 1: well with his back to you, only half paying attention.
20:32
Speaker 1: It does not matter, And I think I respect that
20:36
Speaker 1: as well, that it's like I'm gonna make fun of
20:40
Speaker 1: you but also trounce you, and I like it. I
20:45
Speaker 1: don't know, I just respond to this sort of thing
20:49
Speaker 1: Sarah fem says cultural context time the Cannibal is a
20:53
Speaker 1: case of accurate translation poor localization. It's a legit English
20:59
Speaker 1: version of his title and literally man eater, but misses
21:03
Speaker 1: the context, as that term is used over there to
21:05
Speaker 1: describe someone who intentionally riles up and upsets people in
21:10
Speaker 1: order to feed on their anger and frustration. A more
21:14
Speaker 1: accurate localization would be Bartolomeo the troll. Oh boy, I
21:21
Speaker 1: am rooting for a troll. I never thought i'd see
21:24
Speaker 1: the day. I love it, though, you know what, Thank you,
21:28
Speaker 1: sarahm I appreciate this context a lot. It just this
21:34
Speaker 1: makes so much sense, and it makes so much sense.
21:38
Speaker 1: Why I like him? Why am I so consistent? You guys?
21:41
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm really fucking textbook like you. Just
21:45
Speaker 1: show me a power structure and a dude who decides
21:48
Speaker 1: to come in and give it the finger while looking good,
21:52
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna be like, what's up? Yeah, Hey,
21:56
Speaker 1: It's just I can't help it. I just can't help it.
21:59
Speaker 1: So yeah, Barlomeo, I'm rooting for you. I also love
22:02
Speaker 1: the fact that later on, when he hears I think
22:06
Speaker 1: it's Avendish who yells out like straw ha, get back
22:10
Speaker 1: here or something like that. Barlomeo is the one who goes, wait, straw,
22:16
Speaker 1: hat is here? And he looks terrified. And I loved
22:23
Speaker 1: this for so many reasons. One, Loofy is that frightening
22:30
Speaker 1: to a guy like Barbolomeo who wasn't scared of anybody
22:33
Speaker 1: out there on that stage. Two, Barloameo apparently is fine
22:39
Speaker 1: with letting people know that he is that afraid of Loofy.
22:43
Speaker 1: That was the part that kind of startled me, is
22:45
Speaker 1: that he lets himself appear frightened. Now, granted, nobody is
22:50
Speaker 1: really looking at him at that point, so it is
22:52
Speaker 1: certainly possible that nobody noticed and he isn't letting himself
22:56
Speaker 1: be frightened, that it just caught him off guard and
22:59
Speaker 1: he let his guard down and people were around. But
23:04
Speaker 1: I think that it's like another aspect of the overall
23:10
Speaker 1: sense of proportion that he seems to have, where he's
23:14
Speaker 1: making fun of these proceedings. But also when somebody who
23:19
Speaker 1: is legitimately dangerous pops up, yeah, now he's got some
23:25
Speaker 1: respect on it. Now he is kind of like, hold
23:28
Speaker 1: on a second, wait, who's here? And this to me
23:33
Speaker 1: points to a person who understands their limitations. He is
23:38
Speaker 1: not so overly arrogant that he doesn't think he has
23:42
Speaker 1: anything to worry about for anyone. He evidently understands that
23:47
Speaker 1: going up against Lovie may be bad for him. But
23:51
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, there's just a lot about
23:54
Speaker 1: this guy that is sort of speaking to me. That's
23:56
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. And I have to mentioned too, that
24:02
Speaker 1: Bellamy goes up against him. And I had really thought that,
24:05
Speaker 1: like since we had our little chat with Bellamy before
24:10
Speaker 1: and that there was going to be this moment out
24:14
Speaker 1: here with him fighting, I really thought he'd get further
24:17
Speaker 1: along in things than he does. He gets knocked out
24:21
Speaker 1: by Bartolomeo. It you guys, Loofy has turned such a
24:30
Speaker 1: corner on Oh my god, I just lost his name Bellamy.
24:39
Speaker 1: I don't really feel like this man deserves it. Like,
24:47
Speaker 1: in my opinion, all Bellamy said was, turns out you
24:54
Speaker 1: were right about Skypeia, and I'm not laughing at you
24:59
Speaker 1: anymore because but he also is like, yeah, I maybe
25:03
Speaker 1: heard some people up there, and I'm still out here
25:05
Speaker 1: doing fucked up shit, but I don't consider you my enemy.
25:11
Speaker 1: And fucking Loofy is like ready to just, Oh, well,
25:17
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cheer for him now from the sidelines. Uh,
25:21
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, did I miss the part where this guy
25:23
Speaker 1: actually is like a decent person, because I don't see
25:28
Speaker 1: how anything he has done warrants us cheering for him
25:33
Speaker 1: or being on his side. And it is funny because
25:37
Speaker 1: later on, when he like he's being carried out on
25:40
Speaker 1: a stretcher and they pass Loofy, he says something to
25:43
Speaker 1: Lufy about like, I can't believe that you were cheering
25:45
Speaker 1: for me. That was so embarrassing, And at first I
25:49
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna be like, can't believe you're cheering
25:51
Speaker 1: for me, like, you know, wow, maybe you're not such
25:54
Speaker 1: a bad guy, but instead he's just like, why the
25:56
Speaker 1: fuck would you do that? And I thought that was
25:58
Speaker 1: actually very funny, just the vibe of him being like, yes,
26:04
Speaker 1: cheer for me. What is this? That really tickled me
26:08
Speaker 1: because I feel like that seems consistent with the character
26:13
Speaker 1: that I had gotten to know, and it feels like
26:17
Speaker 1: the fact that Lufy seems to have softened towards him
26:19
Speaker 1: is not something that he expected either, nor was that
26:22
Speaker 1: what he intended by talking to Lufy. So it just
26:26
Speaker 1: seems like he's a little confused as to how this
26:30
Speaker 1: all even happened, which same same I don't like it.
26:36
Speaker 1: I don't Loofy is just weirdly easy. He is the
26:43
Speaker 1: kind of person that seems like he doesn't forgive things
26:47
Speaker 1: that I think are very forgivable, and then there is
26:49
Speaker 1: stuff that I think are unforgivable that he is like, well,
26:53
Speaker 1: you gave me a sandwich, so now we're square, and
26:56
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here like, what are you serious? But yes
27:01
Speaker 1: he is. Indeed, he is very serious. So yeah, that's Loofy,
27:06
Speaker 1: I guess. So Okay, I know I'm jumping all over
27:11
Speaker 1: the place here, you guys, but I actually I feel
27:13
Speaker 1: like I'm kind of touching on things barely, like reasonably,
27:20
Speaker 1: considering how many different fights there are and how much
27:23
Speaker 1: is going on. We also have this like blue haired
27:27
Speaker 1: dude who apparently is from the long leg tribe, and
27:32
Speaker 1: I really thought, because you know, we get a glimpse
27:36
Speaker 1: of him, then somebody mentions he's from the long leg tribes,
27:40
Speaker 1: so attack his eye or attack his legs. Oh my god,
27:44
Speaker 1: you guys, I just had attack his eyes. And I
27:48
Speaker 1: thought maybe on the first glimpse that I just hadn't
27:53
Speaker 1: gotten a good look at him, and when they went back,
27:57
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, long leg tribe, Let's see
28:01
Speaker 1: this guy's like extra limb. You know how the long
28:05
Speaker 1: arm tribe has two joints instead of one elbow, they've
28:10
Speaker 1: got two elbows, and he doesn't have an extra joint
28:16
Speaker 1: in his legs. His legs are they don't even seem
28:21
Speaker 1: that long to me. So this was just it felt
28:28
Speaker 1: like a little bit of a letdown, I'm gonna be honest.
28:33
Speaker 1: And you know, he also has this very kind of
28:36
Speaker 1: like high pitched voice that I didn't expect, and he's
28:40
Speaker 1: really into baiting the people around him a lot, and
28:46
Speaker 1: he just he's tiresome. I just did not enjoy this guy.
28:51
Speaker 1: So the what winds up happening with him is that
28:57
Speaker 1: he is eventually like it's almost down to just him
29:02
Speaker 1: and the King, Like there's some of his other guys
29:04
Speaker 1: in there, and you guys, the king and his one punch.
29:11
Speaker 1: I've got to tell y'all, his name is Elizabello, the Second.
29:17
Speaker 1: According to Florian's little chart that he gave me, his
29:26
Speaker 1: whole deal is so boring. It is just so dull,
29:34
Speaker 1: Like I just have to sit on the sidelines and
29:38
Speaker 1: make sure nobody else attacks me until I can get
29:42
Speaker 1: my power to the place that I want it, and
29:46
Speaker 1: then eventually I'll punch you, and that one punch will
29:51
Speaker 1: be the thing. And if I don't hit you, I'm
29:57
Speaker 1: just fucked because I don't get a se shot at it.
30:02
Speaker 1: That is the lamest shit I've ever heard. Everybody talks
30:05
Speaker 1: about him in these hushed tones, like he is so
30:08
Speaker 1: impressive and this is for me, the most like weak
30:15
Speaker 1: sauce of any of the powers that we have come across.
30:19
Speaker 1: It's just so dependent on so many other factors that
30:26
Speaker 1: unless circumstances are set up exactly right, it feels absurd
30:34
Speaker 1: and useless in a real fight, you know, Like I
30:40
Speaker 1: just don't understand what we're doing with this guy. I'm
30:45
Speaker 1: really glad that apparently, like because at first, for a
30:48
Speaker 1: second it looked like he had like won for his block,
30:53
Speaker 1: and I was just devastated because again, super boring. I
31:00
Speaker 1: liked Bartolomeo a lot. I love that this announcer says
31:04
Speaker 1: something more than once about how Barti Lameo is winning
31:06
Speaker 1: the prize for most annoying pirate that just won't go away, y'all.
31:14
Speaker 1: I have never related to anything so much. I loved
31:17
Speaker 1: that so much. That is so funny to me. But yeah,
31:22
Speaker 1: this overall deal with this king. I really hope the
31:30
Speaker 1: fact that he lost that challenge means that we do
31:35
Speaker 1: not have to deal with him again, because I find
31:38
Speaker 1: him extremely tedious and his power. They all point out
31:43
Speaker 1: like as it's gearing up to go, is potentially dangerous
31:49
Speaker 1: to the people in the Colisseum, which it turns out
31:55
Speaker 1: isn't true. Everybody appears to be fine, and he took
31:59
Speaker 1: out all of his enemies without hurting anybody in the stands.
32:04
Speaker 1: But it is unclear to me whether that is due
32:07
Speaker 1: to his being very in control of his power or
32:12
Speaker 1: if it is because he just doesn't have the kind
32:15
Speaker 1: of power that people think he does. A lot of
32:19
Speaker 1: the stuff that people are saying is sort of like
32:21
Speaker 1: legend or rumor, you know. But anyway, the important thing
32:33
Speaker 1: is Bartolomeo is the one that wins for this one.
32:38
Speaker 1: I'm trying to just make sure I haven't missed anything
32:40
Speaker 1: in the first episode because I kind of jumped into
32:43
Speaker 1: the second one. I'm a little bit surprised. I'll say
32:48
Speaker 1: this that the number of people who have found out
32:53
Speaker 1: who Loofy is it's not actually a problem for him
33:00
Speaker 1: to be in this competition, and I sort of thought
33:03
Speaker 1: maybe it would be, because I fully expected that everybody
33:07
Speaker 1: in there were going to be people who did not
33:09
Speaker 1: already have devil fruit powers, because why would you fight
33:11
Speaker 1: for a devil fruit if you've got devil fruit power?
33:14
Speaker 1: So I kind of thought, if it turns out he
33:16
Speaker 1: has them, he's going to be disqualified. And I don't
33:20
Speaker 1: know if maybe it's just that the rumor of who
33:22
Speaker 1: he actually is hasn't gotten back to anybody who's in charge,
33:28
Speaker 1: but so far it's kind of seeming like it's it's
33:33
Speaker 1: just in the King's power. I'm assuming that's due to
33:36
Speaker 1: a devil fruit power. Bart not Bartolomeo, although maybe him,
33:41
Speaker 1: but Bellamy his power is a devil fruit power. So, like,
33:46
Speaker 1: I was going into this whole fight with the coliseum stuff,
33:49
Speaker 1: thinking that we were getting Loofy having to hold back
33:53
Speaker 1: on a lot of what he could do in order
33:56
Speaker 1: to fit in with lower level fighters, and I thought
33:58
Speaker 1: that would be kind of interesting, you know, because most
34:02
Speaker 1: of what we see him do depends on devil fruit
34:06
Speaker 1: and hockey, and just seeing how he manages when he
34:10
Speaker 1: can't use those powers at all. I'm interested to see,
34:15
Speaker 1: and we're not getting that after all. So I was
34:17
Speaker 1: a little bit of a bummer, you know. Let's see,
34:22
Speaker 1: Saraphim says, I took it as Bartow's barrier blocked the
34:26
Speaker 1: majority of the punch so it didn't hit the stands
34:28
Speaker 1: behind him. Oh, Saraphim, I'm seeing what you're saying. So
34:33
Speaker 1: it's not like he had control. It's that Bartolomeo like
34:37
Speaker 1: inadvertently saved people because he was trying to save himself,
34:42
Speaker 1: which works Bartolomeo's power. He says at one point, I
34:49
Speaker 1: ate the berry berry fruit so he can make barriers.
34:56
Speaker 1: I really want to point something out you guys. That
34:59
Speaker 1: had me laughing so hard because after he creates the
35:04
Speaker 1: barrier and the king looks up and realizes that he
35:08
Speaker 1: is not dead, bartile Mayo goes, what, you can't make
35:13
Speaker 1: a barrier by crossing your fingers and doing this, And
35:17
Speaker 1: it is just such a funny thing to say to me,
35:20
Speaker 1: Like just just the specificity of it is just I
35:27
Speaker 1: don't know. That one just really made me giggle to myself.
35:31
Speaker 1: It was such a weird taunt, and especially because the
35:35
Speaker 1: king seems so like puzzled about what's just happened? Why
35:39
Speaker 1: is this guy still standing here? I really really enjoyed
35:42
Speaker 1: that a lot. So let's see, Oh, I forgot about
35:48
Speaker 1: these two that are like cheating allegedly, but it's just
35:51
Speaker 1: because they're sort of distracting people. And then there's a
35:55
Speaker 1: fighter that's like, h hey, what's up with that guy?
35:58
Speaker 1: And the guy he's fighting he's like, are you you, sirius?
36:00
Speaker 1: We're in the middle of a fight right here, and
36:03
Speaker 1: the other guy is like, yeah, but look at that.
36:05
Speaker 1: And there's just a lot of little moments like this
36:07
Speaker 1: that I thought were genuinely very funny. Let's see, oh, right,
36:17
Speaker 1: there's the fish man. He is the one that really,
36:21
Speaker 1: like Bartolomeo makes the most humiliated, I think, because this
36:26
Speaker 1: fishman comes up behind him and he has been doing
36:29
Speaker 1: some karate into some really dope stuff, like somebody has
36:32
Speaker 1: this massive spiked mace that they like bring down on
36:37
Speaker 1: his head full force and it does nothing. So I
36:44
Speaker 1: really like had high hopes for this guy. I found
36:48
Speaker 1: him sort of interesting. And then Bartolomeo peeing. This is
36:53
Speaker 1: the guy who attacks him while he's peeing, and he
36:58
Speaker 1: comes up behind him and punches him, and Bartolomeo does
37:03
Speaker 1: this whole like, oh no, like he's genuinely afraid, which
37:09
Speaker 1: makes it all the funnier when you realize later on
37:12
Speaker 1: that he knew he was perfectly fine, that there was
37:14
Speaker 1: nothing to worry about. And when this man backs away,
37:20
Speaker 1: his hand is just crushed and I think he broke it.
37:26
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure, but clearly he is down for
37:29
Speaker 1: the count right now. And I really felt bad for
37:34
Speaker 1: this dude, but also you should have realized. I feel
37:39
Speaker 1: like that this wasn't about to go that easily, like
37:43
Speaker 1: this guy stepping into the ring and then just peeing
37:47
Speaker 1: and ignoring everybody, like you really really you just thought
37:52
Speaker 1: he just was gonna ignore everything and put himself at
37:57
Speaker 1: risk like that, like no offense. But I do feel
38:00
Speaker 1: like that's kind of on you if you fell for
38:02
Speaker 1: the bait that easily. That's all I'm saying. So yeah, this, Uh,
38:10
Speaker 1: there's so many people in this first bit that we
38:16
Speaker 1: that we just weed out essentially, And I'm a little
38:20
Speaker 1: bit worried because what was that Block B. I think
38:25
Speaker 1: Block A went already by the time we come out here,
38:29
Speaker 1: and Loofy is part of Block C, right, and I
38:36
Speaker 1: think the girl had said she was part of Block D,
38:40
Speaker 1: So do we have four? Am I right on this?
38:44
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get a sense of, like exactly
38:46
Speaker 1: how many people we still have to go, because I really,
38:51
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest you guys, I really do not
38:54
Speaker 1: want to sit through a bunch more elimination round like
39:00
Speaker 1: this unless they find a way to make them feel
39:04
Speaker 1: a lot more interesting. It just to me, it's like
39:10
Speaker 1: it just like I said earlier, can we get on
39:13
Speaker 1: with it already? You know, it's just this vibe of like,
39:17
Speaker 1: al right, enough is enough? You know? A one one
39:24
Speaker 1: by Jesus Burgers, says Florian. Florian, I have genuinely got
39:30
Speaker 1: no idea what you're talking about? What is what was
39:37
Speaker 1: that sentence? What? Seraphim? Yes, there are four battle royals,
39:43
Speaker 1: then the four champions of those go against do Flamingo
39:46
Speaker 1: family fighters for the prize. Okay, all right, so we've
39:50
Speaker 1: only gotten through two. So we've got or yeah, the
39:53
Speaker 1: first two one of them we didn't even see, so
39:56
Speaker 1: we've got oh my oh god, round A was one
40:03
Speaker 1: by Blackbeard's guy, Jesus Burgess. Oh my god, that was
40:09
Speaker 1: just a case of really bad auto correct A one
40:12
Speaker 1: one by Jesus Burgers. My God in Heaven, that is
40:16
Speaker 1: fucking hilarious. Oh god, honestly, considering his name, it's surprising
40:29
Speaker 1: that autocorrect has not already happened Jesus Burgers. It was
40:33
Speaker 1: just a matter of time. So all right, let's jump
40:39
Speaker 1: into the uh, the like last part of this, because
40:44
Speaker 1: I've only got fifteen minutes left. So the whole thing
40:50
Speaker 1: with the soldier that Frankie is with, there's this weird
40:55
Speaker 1: thing where he doesn't want to like talk to Frankie
40:58
Speaker 1: about what's actually going on here, and Frankie just finally
41:03
Speaker 1: is like, all right, dude, well, if you're not going
41:04
Speaker 1: to tell me anything, then sorry, but bye, and he
41:08
Speaker 1: begins to walk away, and the little toy finally stops
41:14
Speaker 1: him and is like, what is your intention in all
41:18
Speaker 1: of this? And I didn't really even remember at this
41:22
Speaker 1: point what we were talking about because we spend so
41:25
Speaker 1: much time with these other folks, But basically what he
41:29
Speaker 1: is asking is like, why do you want to know
41:31
Speaker 1: where the smile factory? Is? Like? What is your interest here?
41:35
Speaker 1: And Frankie explains, we want to destroy the factory and
41:41
Speaker 1: the soldier says, well, you can't do that because I
41:46
Speaker 1: want to save all the workers in the factory. And
41:51
Speaker 1: Frankie says, oh, you want to get everybody out first,
41:55
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you I was a little appalled. Guys.
42:01
Speaker 1: It was just not even going to be like a
42:05
Speaker 1: factor for you that you wanted to get the workers
42:09
Speaker 1: who probably are just here for a paycheck, and don't
42:13
Speaker 1: you know, like I guess, in the sense of one piece,
42:18
Speaker 1: everybody who works at a place is always like complicit
42:22
Speaker 1: a lot of the time. So maybe it was just
42:26
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, like, maybe it's it's fine, But
42:29
Speaker 1: I definitely had a moment of like deep disappointment in
42:33
Speaker 1: Frankie and being like, bruh, come on, you weren't really
42:37
Speaker 1: considering that aspect at all. He just seemed so surprised
42:42
Speaker 1: by the fact that the workers are being considered here,
42:46
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But so the this is
42:56
Speaker 1: when he says the thing with like, oh, you need
42:58
Speaker 1: to know the terrible history of dress Rosa, and it
43:03
Speaker 1: just ends and we don't get that history in the
43:06
Speaker 1: next episode. So that was strange to me. So we
43:15
Speaker 1: go to law Robin and Oh my God, and Oosop
43:23
Speaker 1: and Caesar. It's the four of them together, and they
43:29
Speaker 1: find they're they're like being approached by one of the
43:35
Speaker 1: What is what is this new crew number? Because the
43:38
Speaker 1: other ones were CP nine, So what is this group?
43:42
Speaker 1: CP three C three po. But they is like they're
43:50
Speaker 1: kind of seeming a little bit jumpy about this. It
43:54
Speaker 1: seems as if Law suggests that one of them is
43:56
Speaker 1: sort of coming for them CP zero iro agis, says
44:02
Speaker 1: Sara fm Agius. I don't remember them saying that part.
44:08
Speaker 1: What does agus mean? Did the other ones have like
44:14
Speaker 1: a like CP nine blank DoD they have like another
44:17
Speaker 1: word after it as well. Ag just means shield o. Okay,
44:23
Speaker 1: oh right, this makes sense in the context of some
44:25
Speaker 1: other magic I have heard. Okay, yeah, But anyway, Uh,
44:33
Speaker 1: they begin to like cross this bridge and they get
44:38
Speaker 1: attacked by a bunch of fighting fish. And it's very
44:41
Speaker 1: funny because at first we aren't given a real good
44:46
Speaker 1: reason why Law can't fight. He just says, there are
44:51
Speaker 1: times and places when it's appropriate for me to fight,
44:54
Speaker 1: and this is not one of them. And I genuinely,
44:57
Speaker 1: you guys, I roll my eyes so fucking hard. I
45:01
Speaker 1: was like, come on, you can't even now. Eventually he
45:05
Speaker 1: gives us a real genuine reason why not. But like,
45:10
Speaker 1: I really did have a moment of just profound frustration
45:15
Speaker 1: because I thought it was just going to be for
45:18
Speaker 1: the sake of the plot. Of course, he can't help,
45:22
Speaker 1: you know, because we have to let our guys have
45:25
Speaker 1: something to do, and he's basically like overpowered, so we
45:29
Speaker 1: have to have reasons for him to not participate. And
45:33
Speaker 1: I was relieved that we get an actual explanation later
45:37
Speaker 1: where he explains what we're going to be going up against.
45:41
Speaker 1: If I am depleted at all, it is going to
45:44
Speaker 1: be very bad. So we need to make sure that
45:49
Speaker 1: I don't use any of my power because it's going
45:53
Speaker 1: to you know, we are really really going to need
45:56
Speaker 1: to be sure we are on it. And Okay, I
46:01
Speaker 1: accept that, but in the moment with him just saying like, well,
46:06
Speaker 1: you know, there are times and places, I was just like,
46:08
Speaker 1: for real, that's it. And it made me laugh. Later on,
46:13
Speaker 1: when us Up says something like no, seriously, whenever you're ready,
46:17
Speaker 1: you can chime in and help us, I was like,
46:20
Speaker 1: good for you, us Up stand up to this motherfucker.
46:22
Speaker 1: What the fuck is this?
46:23
Speaker 2: You know?
46:25
Speaker 1: And the fighting fish they all sort of pitch in
46:33
Speaker 1: to help defeat them. It's uh us up first. Robin
46:38
Speaker 1: then chimes in later, but it's really Caesar who does
46:42
Speaker 1: the biggest bit of work. And when they finished, like
46:51
Speaker 1: you know, getting these fish off their backs, they hear
46:55
Speaker 1: some people celebrating and they start talking about like, oh,
47:04
Speaker 1: this is great. I think they say something about like
47:07
Speaker 1: now we can have our feast or they're celebrating something.
47:12
Speaker 1: I feel like that they're catching this fish for like
47:13
Speaker 1: a celebration. I don't know. And basically the whole story
47:22
Speaker 1: about how like people have crossed this bridge, but I
47:25
Speaker 1: have never seen any of them again. The story there
47:29
Speaker 1: seems like it ends with people just settling on the
47:33
Speaker 1: other side of the bridge, and they sound like they're
47:38
Speaker 1: having a great time over there, Like, you know, from
47:42
Speaker 1: what I could hear, people don't apparently feel like they
47:47
Speaker 1: are on the outs. They don't seem like they were
47:51
Speaker 1: trying desperately to get back and can't seem to find
47:54
Speaker 1: their way. They seem like they sound as if they're
47:58
Speaker 1: having a pretty good time. So I was sort of
48:03
Speaker 1: curious about that. They yell over and try to get
48:05
Speaker 1: the attention of these people, and I guess either those
48:09
Speaker 1: folks don't hear them, or just don't feel like responding.
48:12
Speaker 1: Maybe you didn't know that they could be heard, and
48:15
Speaker 1: maybe don't want to be found. I don't know, but yeah,
48:20
Speaker 1: the uh, Law, let's see. Oh yeah, there's a marine
48:28
Speaker 1: ship that crashed into the island. I forgot about that part. Uh.
48:32
Speaker 1: And it's it's fairly recent because Robin has binoculars, so
48:37
Speaker 1: she can see, like there's all kinds of stuff that's
48:40
Speaker 1: damaged that has happened not too long ago. But Caesar
48:47
Speaker 1: is starting to be like, oh God, what is going
48:50
Speaker 1: on here? Like this handoff was supposed to go smooth,
48:53
Speaker 1: and now these marines are here. What is happening? Like
48:57
Speaker 1: they could come in and try and nab me. And
49:04
Speaker 1: he is sort of trying to get Law to see
49:06
Speaker 1: his POV. And Law is like, I'm with the straw
49:10
Speaker 1: Hats now, bruh, Like the Marines are therefore also my
49:14
Speaker 1: enemy and I need their help. So no, I'm not
49:20
Speaker 1: going to be working with them or figuring any of
49:23
Speaker 1: this out. And he says something again about his powers.
49:26
Speaker 1: And I thought it was interesting that, like in his head,
49:30
Speaker 1: Caesar thinks to himself, this fucking idiot, does he really
49:35
Speaker 1: think he stands any chance against o flamingo. And it's
49:42
Speaker 1: one thing for a person to say that out loud,
49:46
Speaker 1: I'm going to very much interpret it usually as bravado.
49:51
Speaker 1: But the fact that he doesn't say it out loud,
49:54
Speaker 1: that he just thinks it to himself, that says, to me,
49:58
Speaker 1: this is something that he really believes and is genuinely
50:03
Speaker 1: puzzled at the fact that law is still under this misapprehension,
50:07
Speaker 1: and it's just sort of like, why is he still
50:11
Speaker 1: like operating under this assumption. It doesn't make any sense,
50:16
Speaker 1: So that's sort of interesting. I'm wondering about that. So
50:24
Speaker 1: then we have our last thing, which is SOANGI and
50:28
Speaker 1: Violet and y'all, I just love how this is going
50:33
Speaker 1: so much. She does the like dramatic This for me
50:42
Speaker 1: was really the giveaway that something was very wrong. She
50:49
Speaker 1: stops and is like, this was selfish of me. I
50:54
Speaker 1: shouldn't have asked. You should go save yourself, you know
50:59
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. And it definitely was like giving
51:04
Speaker 1: con artists, because the whole way that a con is
51:11
Speaker 1: so convincing a lot of the time is that you
51:15
Speaker 1: pretend and you do it really vehemently. It's not like
51:19
Speaker 1: little sort of oh, no, you mustn't. It's you truly
51:23
Speaker 1: behave as if what you want this person to do
51:27
Speaker 1: is actually really dangerous, really risky, a bad idea, they
51:32
Speaker 1: shouldn't do it, and you make them feel like, one
51:38
Speaker 1: it's their own idea and two like you are the
51:43
Speaker 1: weak one who doesn't have the same vision that they have.
51:47
Speaker 1: And so what they're doing is like a real Maverick
51:50
Speaker 1: sort of move, and that they're being really clever in
51:53
Speaker 1: a way that nobody else would have thought to be clever.
51:56
Speaker 1: So you really stroke their ego in the midst of
51:59
Speaker 1: this whole thing. And you know she does this as
52:03
Speaker 1: well with so like, I don't know why I even
52:05
Speaker 1: asked you. I suppose it's because you're so strong. You know.
52:09
Speaker 1: It's just very labeling it on. But it doesn't feel
52:13
Speaker 1: like ladeling it on to Sanjy because he is insane
52:17
Speaker 1: and does not have common sense and is a Dodo bird.
52:21
Speaker 1: So Sangi is eating it up everything that she is
52:25
Speaker 1: being over dramatic with. That is how he rolls on
52:29
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, So it does not hit for him like
52:31
Speaker 1: it's over dramatic. This is exactly the level of energy
52:35
Speaker 1: that he thinks is appropriate because he's a banana's human being.
52:39
Speaker 1: So she is like, do stop, don't and he's just like, ah,
52:44
Speaker 1: it'll be fine, don't worry about it. And I love
52:47
Speaker 1: when she says, you didn't even ask me why I
52:51
Speaker 1: want you to kill this man, and SOANGI says, it's
52:58
Speaker 1: not for me to question you. I don't have to.
53:02
Speaker 1: Anybody who makes you cry or gets you this upset
53:06
Speaker 1: needs to go. You guys, look, I know that this
53:14
Speaker 1: is a very problematic stance to take, and I confess
53:21
Speaker 1: that it's I know that. Okay, I know that it is.
53:28
Speaker 1: But I adore this vibe, even though I know that
53:36
Speaker 1: this is not rational or good. Just being like you
53:42
Speaker 1: don't even need to explain it to me, I got it,
53:44
Speaker 1: and going in to kill these guys. This is bad.
53:49
Speaker 1: This is like I really, I want to make it clear.
53:51
Speaker 1: I know that anybody who is this willing to take
53:55
Speaker 1: it on faith with somebody they barely know, is a
54:00
Speaker 1: chump and a sucker. So I am not really genuinely
54:05
Speaker 1: defending this, but I'm just saying that I can't help
54:11
Speaker 1: but love the vibe of a dude who just has
54:15
Speaker 1: to be told a little bit of a thing and
54:18
Speaker 1: instantly be on your side and ready to throw down,
54:22
Speaker 1: because like the vibe here for me. And I've compared
54:27
Speaker 1: this to Snapped episodes, and I've explained to you guys
54:29
Speaker 1: already about how many men and their masculinity and their
54:34
Speaker 1: instinct to protect women that gets played on so so much,
54:39
Speaker 1: and it's a very easy trick to pull. So this
54:44
Speaker 1: isn't like this is something that can be used for evil,
54:49
Speaker 1: actually and is somewhat frequently. However, the other problem is
54:55
Speaker 1: that so often women are not believed when it comes
54:59
Speaker 1: to domestic violence and sexual assault. That in the real
55:06
Speaker 1: world of like what most commonly happens, and not the
55:11
Speaker 1: world of Snapped, which like that is the real world
55:14
Speaker 1: because those things happen, but Snapped those stories are notable
55:17
Speaker 1: because they are exceptions. You know, those are like particular,
55:20
Speaker 1: egregious exceptions, and that is why they get the notoriety
55:25
Speaker 1: that they get. The common everyday occurrence is that women
55:29
Speaker 1: aren't believed and then they wind up dead at the
55:32
Speaker 1: hands of a partner. I just can't help but love
55:39
Speaker 1: the energy of instantly being like, Okay, well I'll kill him,
55:42
Speaker 1: fuck him. I just I really like it. And once
55:46
Speaker 1: again I know that this is not great, but it
55:50
Speaker 1: just did something for me in this moment. Sanji has
55:53
Speaker 1: been so annoying to me, and I'm just kind of
55:56
Speaker 1: ready to like be on his side again a little bit.
56:00
Speaker 1: So I've been really enjoying this little storyline because even
56:04
Speaker 1: though he's being a total fool and so gullible, it's
56:11
Speaker 1: all with this sort of attitude that I can't help
56:15
Speaker 1: but ultimately kind of approve of in a lot of ways.
56:20
Speaker 1: So he goes in and there's a dude playing poker,
56:25
Speaker 1: I think, and he says something like, uh, well, no,
56:31
Speaker 1: he doesn't like Louviy just kicks the door in. Dude
56:35
Speaker 1: is sitting there, like, what do you want? And Lufy's like,
56:40
Speaker 1: Violet sent me, and this guy says something like that
56:44
Speaker 1: woman and Lufy says she has a name and doesn't
56:51
Speaker 1: ask this guy either. It's just like, I'm here to
56:55
Speaker 1: take down the man who made my girl cry, that's all,
57:00
Speaker 1: and that's all. And then immediately launches into the thing.
57:07
Speaker 1: And I've got to say the way that he takes
57:14
Speaker 1: these guys down was very satisfying, even though I can't
57:18
Speaker 1: help but know that like it's not going in the
57:21
Speaker 1: right direction, you know, Like I know that he's being
57:25
Speaker 1: played here. You can't help but know that, But it
57:28
Speaker 1: also was so much fun to see everybody just get
57:33
Speaker 1: laid out almost instantly. And then this dude takes her
57:37
Speaker 1: prisoner for a second, and he's got the uh, he's
57:41
Speaker 1: got a gun pointed to her head, and he's like,
57:43
Speaker 1: don't move, and Sanji, in the middle of his sentence
57:50
Speaker 1: just like basically teleports. But I think it's supposed to
57:54
Speaker 1: be that he like flew in the air. I don't know,
57:56
Speaker 1: and he is in front and under this man because
58:02
Speaker 1: the guy is very tall and kicks him and sends
58:05
Speaker 1: him flying. Now I don't think this man is necessarily dead,
58:10
Speaker 1: but he is, for the moment taken care of. And
58:17
Speaker 1: I can't you guys, I forgot I'm looking through this.
58:20
Speaker 1: When Sanji kicks all these guys, you know how the
58:23
Speaker 1: way the animation works is that you'll see his foot
58:26
Speaker 1: hit one guy's face, and then it jumps and it
58:28
Speaker 1: hits another guy's face, and like, all of these dudes
58:30
Speaker 1: look very normal, batty kind of look. And then there's
58:34
Speaker 1: just a guy whose house his head is a house
58:38
Speaker 1: because he's a toy. But he's like the only one
58:41
Speaker 1: in this whole crowd. That's a toy. And it was
58:44
Speaker 1: so jarring because I know that those toy people are
58:48
Speaker 1: on this island, but in this particular warehouse, with this
58:50
Speaker 1: particular group of people, they all seem like regular people,
58:53
Speaker 1: and I forgot all about it. So then when it's
58:56
Speaker 1: like regular dude, regular dude, regular dude, househead, regular dude,
59:00
Speaker 1: like wait what and then I kind of went, oh, oh, right, okay.
59:04
Speaker 1: It was just really it felt so surreal for a second.
59:10
Speaker 1: So eventually this dude goes flying and when you stand
59:18
Speaker 1: in the way of love, I put my foot down.
59:22
Speaker 1: I swear to god. That was such a hilarious line.
59:25
Speaker 1: It's so perfect. He's just so dramatic, and Violet comes
59:30
Speaker 1: up to him and says, oh, sany I was so scared.
59:36
Speaker 1: It's all over. You're not hurt, are you?
59:39
Speaker 2: No?
59:39
Speaker 1: Thanks to you, and he just goes and then good
59:44
Speaker 1: to hear. Listen, SONI if I could ask just one
59:51
Speaker 1: more favor, only one, I thought you would have learned
59:56
Speaker 1: by now, I do anything for you. And we get
1:00:00
Speaker 1: a close up on her mouth and she says that's good,
1:00:06
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, that lip curl, that's no good.
1:00:10
Speaker 1: And then she shackles him, wrists and ankles. Then here
1:00:16
Speaker 1: is my final request. You must give your life to me,
1:00:22
Speaker 1: every last drop of it. Black leg and her eyes.
1:00:27
Speaker 1: They animated them so that it looks like fire flickering
1:00:33
Speaker 1: in the darkest pits of hell. Her eyes look bonkers, kids,
1:00:39
Speaker 1: absolutely out of control, and it was very wonderful. I
1:00:45
Speaker 1: just loved this so much. I don't know what it
1:00:48
Speaker 1: is she's doing. And he's like, wait, what are you saying?
1:00:54
Speaker 1: And she says, you really are a fool, and Sanji
1:01:01
Speaker 1: just gasps looking into her eyes and it's just this
1:01:06
Speaker 1: like extended reflection of himself in her eyes. And then
1:01:12
Speaker 1: that's the end. That was the end of it. That's
1:01:16
Speaker 1: where it ended. I was not ready for it to
1:01:18
Speaker 1: just cut off right there with the to be continued.
1:01:20
Speaker 1: I was so mad. What does she when she says
1:01:23
Speaker 1: I want every last drop of it? What does that mean?
1:01:27
Speaker 1: Because honestly, that is sounding either like blood or comb
1:01:31
Speaker 1: which I'm sure Sanji would love one of those. But
1:01:34
Speaker 1: I feel like there's like a pulling of his power
1:01:38
Speaker 1: out or something. Something about this is just feeling like
1:01:41
Speaker 1: I'm harvesting you, you know what I mean? It's are
1:01:46
Speaker 1: are they making devil fruits out of people? Is that
1:01:48
Speaker 1: how they're doing it? But Sanji hasn't eaten a devil fruit, right,
1:01:54
Speaker 1: Like his power is like training basically, so I don't
1:02:01
Speaker 1: feel like that could even work. I don't know, I
1:02:04
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. But anyway, time for me
1:02:08
Speaker 1: to wrap this up. But yeah, these were fun episodes,
1:02:12
Speaker 1: except part of it was a lot more fun than others.
1:02:14
Speaker 1: As you can tell, I'm much more into it and
1:02:18
Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch the next ones. So thank you
1:02:21
Speaker 1: guys again so much for hanging out with me. I
1:02:24
Speaker 1: appreciate you all so much. And thank you to Florian
1:02:27
Speaker 1: for commissioning this episode. Thank you saraph and for all
1:02:29
Speaker 1: the context and info on stuff. It's very helpful.
1:02:34
Speaker 2: And until next time to Blue motherfuckers.
1:03:06
Speaker 1: That was an unspoiled Network podcast.
