One Piece, 875 & 876 + Jimbei Cover Story · Spoil Me! One Piece

0:02
Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
0:09
Speaker 1: covering one Piece episodes eight seventy five, eight seventy six
0:16
Speaker 1: and also the cover story solo Journey of Jinbei Night
0:22
Speaker 1: of the Sea. In these episodes, Big Mom finally eats
0:29
Speaker 1: some cake. I'm very happy for her. Welcome to spoil Me,
0:54
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you
0:58
Speaker 1: very much to Florian for commissioning this episode. And Florian
1:03
Speaker 1: is here in the chat along with Seraphim when they
1:05
Speaker 1: were very patient when I was not going live the
1:08
Speaker 1: way that I should have been. So this is what
1:14
Speaker 1: I have been waiting for this entire time, as you
1:17
Speaker 1: all know, and it never occurred to me and it
1:22
Speaker 1: should have that we saw everyone who took a taste
1:26
Speaker 1: of this cake fall over, So of course Big Mom
1:32
Speaker 1: is going to fall over. But I just didn't think
1:37
Speaker 1: of it, guys, I really didn't. So there has been
1:39
Speaker 1: this paranoia amongst her people that she is going to
1:45
Speaker 1: be poisoned because it came from their enemies, and at
1:50
Speaker 1: first it very much looks like that's exactly what they did,
1:55
Speaker 1: because like, I'm not mad at them making this assumption
2:00
Speaker 1: a food that's so good that it makes you literally
2:02
Speaker 1: fall down sounds a bit far fetched, let's be honest.
2:07
Speaker 1: So I'll I'll tell you guys what though, because there
2:13
Speaker 1: is a whole thing that I kind of expected that
2:17
Speaker 1: we don't get here. I'm gonna kind of zero in
2:22
Speaker 1: on this, and then I will back up and talk
2:24
Speaker 1: about everything else that goes on with Jim Bay, both
2:28
Speaker 1: in these episodes and also in the cover story, which
2:33
Speaker 1: I'm going to go ahead and post the link for
2:36
Speaker 1: the cover story in the show notes in case anybody
2:39
Speaker 1: has missed it and is interested. Thank you to Florian
2:43
Speaker 1: for messaging me with it. It's a really weird, like
2:49
Speaker 1: I keep forgetting the way that this works. But it's
2:54
Speaker 1: not as if it's a story that is told in
2:57
Speaker 1: a normal way. It's like a like single panel installments
3:03
Speaker 1: over time in such a manner that each is like
3:10
Speaker 1: I imagine that each of these would have been its
3:13
Speaker 1: own episode if we were handling things a little differently.
3:16
Speaker 1: If not, then maybe every two or three would be
3:20
Speaker 1: its own episode. But the way that the show tends
3:23
Speaker 1: to stretch things out, I feel like it's not unfair
3:25
Speaker 1: to say each would be its own episode. But it
3:30
Speaker 1: is funny because there's like a whole investigation thing that occurs,
3:36
Speaker 1: and I would not have been mad at jinbay Svu
3:43
Speaker 1: if we got it. If we decided that that was
3:46
Speaker 1: going to be his role is that he is the
3:50
Speaker 1: detective of the c's. I actually feel like that suits
3:54
Speaker 1: him quite well as a character. My complaint about him
3:58
Speaker 1: is that he tends to be kind of boring and
4:02
Speaker 1: while a good dude with skills that's like practically very helpful,
4:08
Speaker 1: I don't find him that compelling a character. But if
4:12
Speaker 1: you throw him into a murder mystery perhaps this wasn't
4:16
Speaker 1: a murder mystery the cover story, just to be clear,
4:18
Speaker 1: but like, just for example, I could see growing to
4:22
Speaker 1: like him a lot better if he's given a bit
4:26
Speaker 1: more to do. That's like cerebral in this way, where
4:30
Speaker 1: seriousness would work quite well, and potentially like his own
4:36
Speaker 1: type of humor could come out also. So I think
4:40
Speaker 1: maybe a fanfic is in order, And if anybody listening
4:45
Speaker 1: wants to write that, let me know you've written it,
4:47
Speaker 1: and I will read the hell out of it. Uh.
4:51
Speaker 1: Florien says they are not that important, but gives us
4:54
Speaker 1: some background info. And since these were two EPs only,
4:57
Speaker 1: I thought to throw it in. Oh yeah, and I
5:00
Speaker 1: I have been really bad about responding to messages lately, guys.
5:04
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I have just had like a bunch
5:06
Speaker 1: of weird things going on at home, and so I
5:10
Speaker 1: have just been a little less attentive to stuff than
5:12
Speaker 1: I normally am. And Florian when I tell you that
5:17
Speaker 1: you messaged me about only covering two episodes this time,
5:24
Speaker 1: literally while I was in the final five minutes of
5:28
Speaker 1: the second episode. I am not kidding. You messaged me
5:32
Speaker 1: just in time because I was like minutes away from
5:35
Speaker 1: proceeding onto the third episode. So yeah, that worked out
5:41
Speaker 1: really well, Sarahim says JIMBEI PI and yes, I like
5:46
Speaker 1: it underwater style. Yeah, what is SVUS stand for it
5:51
Speaker 1: Special Victims Unit? So he would be like OVU Ocean
5:57
Speaker 1: Victims Unit. I like it. I feel like it works.
6:01
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. So we'll get to that in
6:06
Speaker 1: a moment because it sort of also like seems to
6:10
Speaker 1: tie together the appearance of our giant baby character leader
6:16
Speaker 1: who I know his name is like Watanabe something like that,
6:23
Speaker 1: but I never remember. Sorry, guys, So let us begin
6:30
Speaker 1: with episode eight seventy five, A captivating flavor Songy's Cake
6:36
Speaker 1: of Happiness. You guys remember me talking about how I
6:44
Speaker 1: was worried whether Big Mom would be triggered into another
6:50
Speaker 1: like cannibalistic incident, right. I genuinely wondered if being in
7:00
Speaker 1: the midst of that craving when she was a kid,
7:04
Speaker 1: and then being presented with this food that was exactly
7:07
Speaker 1: what she wanted and there it was so good and
7:08
Speaker 1: there was so much of it, I wondered if she
7:12
Speaker 1: was going to wind up doing something like that this
7:15
Speaker 1: time where she starts to like eat people from the
7:19
Speaker 1: ships around her. And honestly, there are some moments within
7:29
Speaker 1: the episode animation that I feel are kind of misleading
7:34
Speaker 1: or at least like don't fully make sense to me,
7:37
Speaker 1: because the expressions on the faces of everybody on the
7:42
Speaker 1: Big Sonny are such that it looks like they are
7:46
Speaker 1: reacting to her eating people like it. They are so
7:51
Speaker 1: horrified and terrified at the same time while she's eating
7:57
Speaker 1: this cake, And it just didn't make sense to me why,
8:02
Speaker 1: because the whole thing is that she's eating the cake
8:05
Speaker 1: and so has stopped chasing you, which is what you want.
8:10
Speaker 1: So when their faces changed, I really thought, this is it.
8:20
Speaker 1: She has started to like go after some of the
8:22
Speaker 1: people around her and is eating the pawns. And I
8:27
Speaker 1: know that there are actual pawns in her kingdom, and
8:31
Speaker 1: that is not what I mean, but you get what
8:34
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I like, I wish that I could. I
8:37
Speaker 1: know I can screen share with y'all here, but I
8:41
Speaker 1: want this to be something that is like useful for
8:43
Speaker 1: the people who are just listening and can't come to
8:45
Speaker 1: the lives. So I'm not going to try and do
8:47
Speaker 1: a screen share right now. But if you rewatch this episode,
8:51
Speaker 1: I think you will see what I'm talking about in
8:54
Speaker 1: terms of their being like a moment where it looks
8:57
Speaker 1: like everybody goes from appy hension about what she's going
9:02
Speaker 1: to do, how she'll react to the cake, to expressions
9:06
Speaker 1: of such horrified terror that I assumed she was doing
9:12
Speaker 1: something that was like absolutely shocking, and instead I think
9:17
Speaker 1: they're just reacting to her voracious appetite as she eats
9:22
Speaker 1: the cake. I think that's all it is, but it's
9:26
Speaker 1: it's like, still, if that is it, their reaction feels
9:30
Speaker 1: wildly outsized to me and also a little hypocritical, honestly,
9:35
Speaker 1: like coming from Loufy, coming from Chopper, We've seen you guys,
9:41
Speaker 1: you ate an entire cafe. I just don't feel like
9:45
Speaker 1: either of y'all get to be all like, oh, look
9:46
Speaker 1: at her eat, Like, let's be very fucking for real
9:49
Speaker 1: right now, you know. Saraphim says she got her devil
9:56
Speaker 1: fruit by eating someone. If you eat two devil fruits,
9:58
Speaker 1: you die unless you're black. Somehow would she die if
10:02
Speaker 1: she ate someone with a fruit? Seraphim here asking the
10:05
Speaker 1: real questions, Seraphim, that is a very compelling question. I
10:13
Speaker 1: wonder like it feels like it would have to be.
10:16
Speaker 1: If eating the person she can absorb all their powers
10:20
Speaker 1: from the fruit. It's essentially eating the fruit, that person
10:24
Speaker 1: becomes like a human fruit, not slur like, you do
10:28
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So yeah, I think it would
10:30
Speaker 1: have to She'd have to be very careful to only
10:33
Speaker 1: eat the least less important people, which I think is
10:37
Speaker 1: probably what would happen, simply because the people with fruits
10:39
Speaker 1: are going to be able to defend themselves a little
10:41
Speaker 1: bit better. Anyway, I say that with the full understanding
10:44
Speaker 1: that she managed to eat a devil fruit eater before
10:47
Speaker 1: who was not able to defend themselves. That lady's ability
10:52
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it was really combat focused enough to
10:56
Speaker 1: be of help. But most of the people here who
10:59
Speaker 1: have fruits, seems like that would those seem to be
11:04
Speaker 1: pretty helpful in this respect. I don't know. I don't know.
11:10
Speaker 1: Florian says. It is a cut back and forth. While
11:14
Speaker 1: she had her greatest joy, the straw hats were in
11:16
Speaker 1: horror of being eliminated any moment now, and Saraphim says, yeah,
11:21
Speaker 1: the straw hats can't see her from there, oh, Florian says,
11:26
Speaker 1: as a reminder, they are far apart. They are on
11:30
Speaker 1: a different island. Straw hats shock chocolad Island, Chocolate, Chocolate island, right,
11:38
Speaker 1: Cacau Island and mom on fluffy Island Chocolate? Is that
11:43
Speaker 1: how you say chocolate in German? Is that how you
11:45
Speaker 1: spell it? I'm assuming not, but I'm also it sounds
11:51
Speaker 1: like so close as I say it. I'm just like,
11:53
Speaker 1: that's actually it doesn't feel out of the question. Florian says, no,
11:58
Speaker 1: just super typos. Sorry, shokolad ah, so pretty close. I
12:06
Speaker 1: feel like that's I don't know, man, I really I
12:08
Speaker 1: really enjoyed like the pronunciation of certain things in German,
12:12
Speaker 1: like more than English. Schokolad. I don't know. I like
12:16
Speaker 1: it so as all of this is happening, by the way,
12:21
Speaker 1: because we're on Fluffy Island, as we have just been reminded,
12:25
Speaker 1: which is Chaffon's island. She doesn't want to leave. She
12:29
Speaker 1: wants to watch this whole thing go down, which I
12:33
Speaker 1: do get like in terms of the the fact that
12:40
Speaker 1: you put the work you did into this, that she
12:42
Speaker 1: has been such a threat to you personally, it's really
12:46
Speaker 1: hard for me to like walk away after putting that
12:51
Speaker 1: kind of energy in and not know how it ends,
12:54
Speaker 1: even if my life is at stake. I like more
13:00
Speaker 1: so because my life is at stake due to the
13:04
Speaker 1: fact that I don't want to put all this work
13:07
Speaker 1: in and then run when maybe I don't have to run.
13:12
Speaker 1: What if I can stay. What if it works and
13:16
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry and be on the run anymore,
13:20
Speaker 1: or I don't have to I can now like celebrate
13:24
Speaker 1: with my friends, you know. At the same time, if
13:28
Speaker 1: it works, it doesn't change the fact that Big Mom
13:33
Speaker 1: hates you. So I guess that's really the difference here,
13:39
Speaker 1: is the fact that like we have got a situation
13:44
Speaker 1: that it being resolved doesn't change a major part of
13:50
Speaker 1: the problem for Chiffon. Suffice to say, her husband finally
13:56
Speaker 1: draws a line and he just says it ain't worth it,
14:00
Speaker 1: and he literally picks her up and carts her off
14:04
Speaker 1: because he has turned his bottom half into that tank
14:07
Speaker 1: so he is able to you know, carry her away.
14:15
Speaker 1: But yeah, so we're The whole thing is they are
14:17
Speaker 1: watching Big Mom approach. Is a lot of her children
14:24
Speaker 1: are trying to decide whether they should even let her
14:27
Speaker 1: eat it or not. Peisperro and oh my god, what
14:34
Speaker 1: is the name of the cheeseman mom door? Right? Is
14:39
Speaker 1: that you are confusing Chiffon with her twin Lola. I
14:45
Speaker 1: think no, Big Mom like slapped Chiffon and told her
14:49
Speaker 1: to fuck off. She hates Cheffon. She doesn't like Lola either,
14:57
Speaker 1: but like she reacts the same way to Chaffon that
15:03
Speaker 1: she would to Lola and is basically like, if I
15:06
Speaker 1: get a chance, I'm gonna fucking kill you. Sorry gys,
15:10
Speaker 1: but yeah, the the main thing between Montdor and Parispero
15:19
Speaker 1: is the two of them being like, but it's so
15:22
Speaker 1: likely that this cake is poisoned, and should we let
15:27
Speaker 1: her eat it? Because there's like the potential maybe even
15:32
Speaker 1: if it is poisoned, it doesn't kill her. And if
15:37
Speaker 1: she can't taste the poison and it doesn't kill her,
15:44
Speaker 1: we will still come out smelling like roses because she'll
15:47
Speaker 1: get what she wants and we won't have to worry
15:54
Speaker 1: about her dying. I'm sorry, I'm so distracted. Sarahin is
15:58
Speaker 1: saying she hates Lola Cheffon. She just resents for looking
16:01
Speaker 1: like Lola. Florian says, I think she hates both. To
16:04
Speaker 1: be honest, she like she said that she would kill
16:08
Speaker 1: the Cheffon I could swear earlier in this arc, not
16:13
Speaker 1: super early either, like midway, I thought that they had
16:17
Speaker 1: a confrontation and she tries to like that. Basically, Mom
16:22
Speaker 1: has the same reaction to her that Oven has, which
16:24
Speaker 1: is to basically be like, you're married to a fucking
16:27
Speaker 1: traitor and thus you are one also. But it doesn't matter.
16:34
Speaker 1: I think when it comes down to it, it is
16:36
Speaker 1: just smart for Chiffon to get gone, what like, regardless
16:40
Speaker 1: of the reason that she reacts the way that she
16:44
Speaker 1: does to Chiffon. Even if this cake works, Cheffon is
16:49
Speaker 1: still going to be in trouble. But anyway, so yeah,
16:54
Speaker 1: if the cake is poisoned but she can't taste it,
16:58
Speaker 1: we will still wind up with her being pleased with
17:01
Speaker 1: the cake and not dying. If the cake is actually
17:07
Speaker 1: poisoned and she can't taste it, this is going to
17:11
Speaker 1: result in her going on more of a rampage, possibly
17:14
Speaker 1: destroying that entire island and maybe multiple islands. If the
17:21
Speaker 1: cake is not poisoned but not good, what if it
17:25
Speaker 1: doesn't taste as good as she wants it to same result?
17:30
Speaker 1: And I like that they go through all of these
17:33
Speaker 1: like what could wait? What if we you know, I
17:36
Speaker 1: think that this kind of thinking indicates the competence of Perosperro,
17:41
Speaker 1: which I don't like and I don't want because I
17:44
Speaker 1: don't like him, but you know, I can't help but
17:47
Speaker 1: respect it. And so then we see her approach the
17:50
Speaker 1: cake and she's like, as she's eating it, she begins
17:54
Speaker 1: to gain weight as she's eating it, so that she
17:56
Speaker 1: starts to look like herself again, very very quickly, and
18:01
Speaker 1: she is just like one handful after another. I had thought,
18:06
Speaker 1: you know when later on when she like collapses, it
18:10
Speaker 1: takes a little while. Everybody else when they taste it
18:14
Speaker 1: and they fall down, it's an immediate response, but for her,
18:21
Speaker 1: it's a little while, and she has many many bites
18:25
Speaker 1: before she finally falls down, which is I think story wise,
18:30
Speaker 1: just to generate the tension. But I also buy it
18:33
Speaker 1: in the fact that she is so huge that it
18:36
Speaker 1: might take a minute for her to fully register. And
18:39
Speaker 1: I want to point out as well that there are
18:44
Speaker 1: only a few moments where we have the camera fully
18:46
Speaker 1: pulled out and can see the size of it in
18:52
Speaker 1: comparison to Mom. The cake almost covers the entire island,
18:59
Speaker 1: like very very close to the whole thing, and Mom
19:03
Speaker 1: is like perched on the side of the cake, like
19:07
Speaker 1: she's about to climb a jungle gym or something. The
19:11
Speaker 1: cake is probably six times as tall as she is.
19:16
Speaker 1: I also must mention that there are skulls in the icing,
19:20
Speaker 1: which I don't know if that was part of the
19:21
Speaker 1: original design, but were I observing this from afar, I
19:25
Speaker 1: would definitely be concerned that the fact it's decorated with
19:28
Speaker 1: a bunch of skulls, it's just an indicator that it
19:30
Speaker 1: is poisoned. I just think that's like suspicious and not
19:35
Speaker 1: really the design choice I would have gone with all
19:38
Speaker 1: things considered. But yeah, so as everybody is like waiting
19:44
Speaker 1: to see how she reacts to it. We have a
19:48
Speaker 1: memory of Chiffon's where she is yelling at Sanji about
19:53
Speaker 1: the method he's choosing for the part of this that
19:57
Speaker 1: he's responsible for making. He is choosing a method that
20:02
Speaker 1: is going to take two hours, and she is really
20:05
Speaker 1: frustrated because they do not have time for this, and
20:09
Speaker 1: he doesn't even really hear her and just says, sorry,
20:13
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about Big Mom and how happy she's
20:16
Speaker 1: going to be once she gets her cake. To what
20:20
Speaker 1: Cheffon says, who cares if she's happy, she's trying to
20:24
Speaker 1: kill you? And I'm like, but that's the whole that's
20:26
Speaker 1: the whole thing, Like what do you mean, who cares?
20:29
Speaker 1: Why bother doing this, Cheffon? If she's not happy with it,
20:33
Speaker 1: it's just the point. It's literally the whole thing. If
20:37
Speaker 1: she's not happy with it, then she's going to keep
20:39
Speaker 1: terrorizing everybody. So anyway, we cut back and Mom has
20:48
Speaker 1: dropped the handful of cake, begins to seem to tremble.
20:52
Speaker 1: We get the zero in on her eyes that are
20:55
Speaker 1: wide and almost looks scared, and then she falls back
21:00
Speaker 1: word off the cake and lands with this slam on
21:06
Speaker 1: the ground where everything is very blue in this moment
21:10
Speaker 1: because it's nighttime, so we've got this sort of like
21:13
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it a filter, even though I understand
21:15
Speaker 1: that's not what it is, but this is meant to
21:17
Speaker 1: indicate it's evening. And for a second I thought that
21:19
Speaker 1: she like fell off the cake into the water, but
21:23
Speaker 1: it's still the ground, and nobody knows what to think
21:28
Speaker 1: about why she fell. And then we see her eyes
21:33
Speaker 1: filled with tears and this like really amazing montage of
21:39
Speaker 1: her in like what looks like the like walking through
21:45
Speaker 1: the gates of heaven toward the cake essentially, and she says,
21:51
Speaker 1: this tastes so lovely, I could die. It's so sweet
21:56
Speaker 1: and fluffy. Finally, and honestly, I get it, girl, I
22:05
Speaker 1: really do. I really do when you finally take like,
22:11
Speaker 1: there's something so deeply frustrating about craving something and not
22:15
Speaker 1: getting like a shitty like the other day I really
22:18
Speaker 1: wanted cheesecake. But cheesecake takes a while to make. It's
22:22
Speaker 1: not even hard to make, but it takes hours because
22:25
Speaker 1: you have to cook it very slowly, especially if you're
22:27
Speaker 1: not using a water bath, and then you have to
22:29
Speaker 1: let it cool in the fridge. So if you want
22:31
Speaker 1: cheesecake and you make it, you're not getting any until
22:34
Speaker 1: like the next day probably unless you start making it
22:37
Speaker 1: eight am. So I went and bought some cheese a slice,
22:42
Speaker 1: one single solitary slice of cheesecake from Walmart. And I
22:48
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, guys, it was just so bad. I
22:51
Speaker 1: knew it wasn't gonna be good. It's Walmart, you know,
22:53
Speaker 1: it's like, it's not going to be great, but I
22:55
Speaker 1: thought it would at least scratch the itch. Oh, it
22:59
Speaker 1: just made it worse. It just made it like I
23:05
Speaker 1: felt gross after eating it because it just it was
23:10
Speaker 1: very like dense and heavy in a way, but wasn't satisfying.
23:15
Speaker 1: And I still wanted real cheesecake. I still want to
23:20
Speaker 1: like what I make. So suffice to say, I really
23:25
Speaker 1: could understand her being like, this isn't what I want
23:28
Speaker 1: and then pitching a complete fit over it. But when
23:33
Speaker 1: you do get exactly what you want when you have
23:36
Speaker 1: been craving it, like especially if it's something like fast food,
23:42
Speaker 1: where sometimes you've gotten this exact item and it's been
23:44
Speaker 1: kind of like left under a heat lamp and hasn't
23:47
Speaker 1: been very good, but you take the risk and you
23:50
Speaker 1: go get the thing you're craving, and it's like fresh
23:52
Speaker 1: and the perfect version of the thing. Nothing beats it
23:57
Speaker 1: the best. And then she begins to sing, I'll be honest,
24:05
Speaker 1: I had forgotten how much of a thing this is.
24:08
Speaker 1: In this arc. It's like a very it's a very
24:12
Speaker 1: musical arc. There's something about it, just like I think
24:21
Speaker 1: had I been told ahead of time that this arc
24:23
Speaker 1: was going to be kind of musicalish, I would have
24:26
Speaker 1: been worried about it. Not necessarily dreading it, but I
24:31
Speaker 1: think I would have been like, oh boy, here we go.
24:34
Speaker 1: And there is something about the fact that the music
24:40
Speaker 1: is barely there. The lyrics are sung technically, but there's
24:45
Speaker 1: not really a melody to it that makes sense, that
24:50
Speaker 1: keeps me guessing in such a way that I don't
24:52
Speaker 1: get irritated by it the way that I might with
24:56
Speaker 1: just like a more ordinary style of musical with more
25:00
Speaker 1: ordinary songs. It's like almost like slam poetry, but sung,
25:08
Speaker 1: and it's I don't know, man, It's it's also very unsettling,
25:14
Speaker 1: which works very well with like the tone of the arc,
25:18
Speaker 1: because I think a lot of people associate musical theater
25:21
Speaker 1: with being like cozy or warm or fun, and so
25:27
Speaker 1: it's taking something that's cozy and warm and fun but
25:30
Speaker 1: turning it into like a nightmarish version of itself. So
25:36
Speaker 1: I like, every time it pops up, I'm like, oh yeah,
25:38
Speaker 1: and I start to be kind of like, oh boy,
25:40
Speaker 1: here we go, and then the song continues and I'm like,
25:43
Speaker 1: oh wow, this is really creepy. Actually this works quite well.
25:49
Speaker 1: Florence says, Okay, here's my big take on Big Mom.
25:54
Speaker 1: She's a five year old who throws tantrums when she
25:57
Speaker 1: doesn't get her own way, but she is also cut
26:00
Speaker 1: and has a childlike sadism. I truly like her. The
26:04
Speaker 1: singing of it all. She is a kid. It also
26:07
Speaker 1: gives an Alice in Wonderland disturbing. Saraphim says, agreed, she's
26:12
Speaker 1: a giant kid who had always been too strong and
26:15
Speaker 1: unstable for anyone to force her to grow up. That's
26:20
Speaker 1: a really interesting concept, the idea that like, if you
26:23
Speaker 1: are always the biggest and strongest, there's nobody who is
26:29
Speaker 1: an authority for you to really be like kept in
26:34
Speaker 1: line by, and so maybe you don't grow up because
26:39
Speaker 1: nobody can like enforce any rules on you or anything
26:45
Speaker 1: It's also like a weird because there are plenty of
26:51
Speaker 1: people out there who are motivated not by physical violence
26:57
Speaker 1: but by simply wanting to make the people around them happy.
27:01
Speaker 1: And so even if there is an authority figure who
27:04
Speaker 1: they could technically overpower, that would never occur to them.
27:08
Speaker 1: And they themselves are somebody who just wants to please
27:11
Speaker 1: authority figures and be the good child and the teacher's pet.
27:17
Speaker 1: And obviously that has never been a thing for Big Mom.
27:21
Speaker 1: It does seem like it would have had to be
27:24
Speaker 1: somebody who could physically keep her in line, which it's
27:30
Speaker 1: just understandable. I hate to say it, but that her
27:33
Speaker 1: parents abandoned her the way they did, what are they
27:36
Speaker 1: supposed to do? It's so weird too that they're just
27:40
Speaker 1: like ordinary sized people and they had this daughter who's
27:43
Speaker 1: a literal giant. And I'm wondering if it's supposed to
27:47
Speaker 1: be that the mom cheated on the dad with a
27:50
Speaker 1: giant and he just doesn't know it. I don't want
27:52
Speaker 1: to get into the physics of how that would have worked,
27:55
Speaker 1: but suffice to say they were right to be worried
28:00
Speaker 1: about her, because she literally winds up eating a bunch
28:03
Speaker 1: of people and never even notices that she did it,
28:05
Speaker 1: So it probably would have been a matter of time
28:09
Speaker 1: until she ate her own parents. I wonder if they're
28:12
Speaker 1: out there still and if they know what she is now,
28:16
Speaker 1: if they're like, you know what I'm saying, really curious
28:19
Speaker 1: about that. And Florian says also how her kids have
28:25
Speaker 1: to handle her like she is a kid who made
28:27
Speaker 1: her perfect world. Yeah, that's the thing that I find
28:32
Speaker 1: like kind of the most saddening in a way, is
28:35
Speaker 1: that she had all these children and they all have
28:39
Speaker 1: to be so afraid of her but also manage her.
28:46
Speaker 1: And it's just like a really unfair position that I
28:50
Speaker 1: think a lot of people have been in in their lives,
28:54
Speaker 1: you know, where they had a parent who was just
28:56
Speaker 1: kind of unreliable and they eventually wound having to parent
29:01
Speaker 1: their parent, which always makes you a little resentful, even
29:05
Speaker 1: if you have like a good relationship with them otherwise,
29:10
Speaker 1: and it's draining, and I like, yeah, it's sad, it's sad.
29:20
Speaker 1: I've got real mixed feelings, Like I don't want to
29:25
Speaker 1: say that I like her because the sadism thing is
29:29
Speaker 1: just repellent. That's the major part that I keep bumping
29:33
Speaker 1: up against. I can understand the weird craving thing. I
29:37
Speaker 1: can understand her wanting to have friends to share things
29:41
Speaker 1: with and wanting to make people the same size as her,
29:44
Speaker 1: and of course, like her food obsession is just speaks
29:49
Speaker 1: my exact language. But it's the fact that when she
29:52
Speaker 1: was little, she was like hurting people and they were
29:55
Speaker 1: yelling for her to let go and to stop, and
29:57
Speaker 1: she was not hearing them at all, And that really
30:01
Speaker 1: is the main thing that just stops me going she's
30:04
Speaker 1: kind of fun. It's she It's like she lives the
30:09
Speaker 1: fact that she had this weird version in her head
30:14
Speaker 1: of what happened to these people that she ate, where
30:18
Speaker 1: it's a delusion that she fell into while she was
30:22
Speaker 1: eating them, as if her psyche were protecting itself from
30:27
Speaker 1: the reality of what she had done. That has me
30:31
Speaker 1: feeling like she is deluded when it comes to dealing
30:34
Speaker 1: with people, and that when they're yelling at her, telling
30:35
Speaker 1: her to put them down, she isn't even seeing that,
30:38
Speaker 1: she isn't hearing that she's in a different version of
30:42
Speaker 1: the world. And I think if I think of it
30:48
Speaker 1: that way, I like her better, just because that means
30:53
Speaker 1: she isn't enjoying hurting them that if she's in a
30:58
Speaker 1: different version of the world and her deluded mind, they
31:02
Speaker 1: aren't in pain or telling her to stop. I would
31:07
Speaker 1: rather feel like she's like that. So I can't decide
31:11
Speaker 1: if I'm like giving her too much credit because I
31:13
Speaker 1: would rather that be true, because we have seen plenty
31:19
Speaker 1: of other things in which she seemed to have no
31:21
Speaker 1: problem inflicting pain on people. But again, she has such
31:26
Speaker 1: delusion surrounding things that she just wants. I don't know
31:29
Speaker 1: when that would apply and not, you know, sarahm says.
31:36
Speaker 1: The thing is, she did have the potential to be
31:38
Speaker 1: that type of good person. She wanted to be one,
31:41
Speaker 1: but no one was ever able to teach her how
31:43
Speaker 1: to be one. Well that's the thing though, Like people tried,
31:47
Speaker 1: but it was, like I said, it was like she
31:49
Speaker 1: wasn't even hearing when folks were, you know, like her
31:55
Speaker 1: mother figure I can't remember this lady's name, tries to
31:58
Speaker 1: like stop her her physically yanking people so that their
32:03
Speaker 1: arms are starting to come off, and tries to tell
32:06
Speaker 1: her you were hurting them, don't do that, you know.
32:10
Speaker 1: But like I said, it's like she's so disconnected from
32:12
Speaker 1: reality somehow that it doesn't even really sink in Florian says,
32:19
Speaker 1: she's a great villain. Is mostly what I mean, and
32:22
Speaker 1: that is absolutely true, Sarahim says, Mother Caramel, that's it,
32:27
Speaker 1: just tried to keep her under control long enough to
32:29
Speaker 1: sell her off. Then the next guy to find her
32:32
Speaker 1: actively encourage her worst impulses for his own vendor benefit.
32:40
Speaker 1: That's definitely a type of but I don't know what
32:42
Speaker 1: it was supposed to. But yeah, I get what you're saying,
32:44
Speaker 1: Sarah m. And yeah, that's fair that Caramel was just
32:48
Speaker 1: trying to control her and not necessarily teach her, So
32:51
Speaker 1: that's fair. The yanking his arms thing wasn't malicious. She
32:55
Speaker 1: thought he had too many joints and was trying to
32:58
Speaker 1: help fix him. This is where this is the problem though,
33:01
Speaker 1: that I have, and I said this at during that episode,
33:04
Speaker 1: she claims she's trying to help and he is screaming
33:07
Speaker 1: in pain and telling her to stop. So both of
33:11
Speaker 1: those things can't be true. That she thinks she's helping
33:16
Speaker 1: and actually hears him yelling that he is hurt and
33:19
Speaker 1: that he's telling her to stop. So either she's completely
33:26
Speaker 1: blocking out his screams and him saying stop because she's
33:31
Speaker 1: in her own little world, or his screams and telling
33:36
Speaker 1: her to stop are funny to her and she doesn't care.
33:41
Speaker 1: And I would much prefer the former to the latter.
33:45
Speaker 1: I don't want her to be somebody who is fine
33:48
Speaker 1: with people screaming in pain. But based on her behavior
33:53
Speaker 1: later and the way that she is very quick to
33:56
Speaker 1: inflict violence, some people could this be a product of
34:00
Speaker 1: her impulse as being encouraged later, certainly, and maybe she
34:05
Speaker 1: wasn't like this to begin with, But I don't know.
34:09
Speaker 1: Man's she's kind of she's kind of a weird one.
34:13
Speaker 1: I enjoy that about her as well, to be clear,
34:17
Speaker 1: Like she has one of the least clear cut motivators
34:25
Speaker 1: of any of the villains. Most of them, I felt
34:28
Speaker 1: like I kind of get their game, even if I
34:31
Speaker 1: don't like them that much. I can see what they want,
34:34
Speaker 1: what they're trying to get, and why they're doing it
34:37
Speaker 1: this way. Mom is just a really strange one where
34:42
Speaker 1: she's like wants power, but she's already got a ton
34:46
Speaker 1: of power, so it's just sort of like part of
34:51
Speaker 1: the greediness of her overall nature, and the way that
34:55
Speaker 1: she's trying to get the power initially is through this
34:58
Speaker 1: like marriage, which doesn't overtly seem violent until you find
35:03
Speaker 1: out that there's going to be an attack after and
35:09
Speaker 1: the fact that like what sets her off is the
35:13
Speaker 1: cake being destroyed and everything and seeing her mother's picture.
35:18
Speaker 1: It's just a lot of odd elements all brought together
35:23
Speaker 1: to push her in a way that's like kind of
35:27
Speaker 1: unique compared to a lot of other villains in this show.
35:34
Speaker 1: Her fugue state as she is in the craving stage
35:40
Speaker 1: is I can't think of another character that gets like this,
35:44
Speaker 1: that is almost completely out of control of themselves. We
35:51
Speaker 1: have seen villains who give up control and decide to
35:56
Speaker 1: just lean into their evilness or their sadism or whatever
36:00
Speaker 1: her but it's a choice with them, whereas with her,
36:03
Speaker 1: it feels like it's totally involuntary and she has no
36:05
Speaker 1: control over it. So yeah, I just I don't know's
36:13
Speaker 1: she's a weird, weird character. There's something about the fact
36:20
Speaker 1: that there are so many conflicting motivators as well that
36:23
Speaker 1: makes her feel more like a real person as much
36:27
Speaker 1: as she is like completely exaggerated in every way obviously,
36:31
Speaker 1: but you know what I'm saying, Like there's a big
36:34
Speaker 1: a part of her that has this whole time just
36:37
Speaker 1: wanted to have friends and be loved. There's another part
36:41
Speaker 1: of her that is outright dangerous to the people around her.
36:45
Speaker 1: And then you know the fucking Dela fruit that she got,
36:47
Speaker 1: where she could literally pull people's life for us completely
36:50
Speaker 1: out of them is a horrible thing for somebody with
36:55
Speaker 1: her temperament to have access to. Sarah, I'm saying, yeah,
37:00
Speaker 1: it seems like she doesn't enjoy inflicting pain and a
37:02
Speaker 1: sadistically sense for its own sake, but doesn't have the
37:06
Speaker 1: empathy needed to understand others are in pain or suffering.
37:09
Speaker 1: This whole recording is just the big mom discussion. I'm
37:13
Speaker 1: loving it. Florian says she deserves it, and she has
37:17
Speaker 1: some control in this state. She knows what Parosparro promised her.
37:24
Speaker 1: That's true. That adds another wrinkle. It's like, yeah, you're right,
37:31
Speaker 1: because she she's got like just enough self control that
37:35
Speaker 1: like when he's like the cake isn't over here, it's
37:36
Speaker 1: over there, she knows to turn. It's not like she's
37:40
Speaker 1: completely outside of herself. Yeah, well, what a weird one.
37:48
Speaker 1: So this is when she really starts to go off
37:52
Speaker 1: eating and she's got her heart eyes, and everybody around
37:56
Speaker 1: is cheering because Parosparro is putting the news out on
38:01
Speaker 1: his transponder snail that the craving rampage is over, and
38:10
Speaker 1: a bunch of people on this island where Pudding still
38:14
Speaker 1: is are talking about how she's a hero because she
38:18
Speaker 1: is the one who made the cake that you know,
38:21
Speaker 1: satisfied mom. And then we go to her in an
38:24
Speaker 1: alley and she is just sitting there. I you know,
38:31
Speaker 1: I still was like trying to decide exactly what had
38:35
Speaker 1: happened between her and Sanji, and like we don't even
38:38
Speaker 1: get an answer here. We get a repeat of the
38:41
Speaker 1: moment where she like takes a cigarette out of his
38:44
Speaker 1: mouth and leans up, and we see her go on
38:46
Speaker 1: her tiptoes, but we don't see what happened, and she
38:54
Speaker 1: says he is someone I won't forget no matter what.
39:01
Speaker 1: And I was sort of wondering if she like took
39:05
Speaker 1: the memory of herself away from him or something like
39:11
Speaker 1: is that because the just it's just the fact that
39:14
Speaker 1: she mentions memory like she does, you know. So we
39:22
Speaker 1: then go also to Jimbay, who is talking with Aladdin
39:28
Speaker 1: in the water, and he's just like, why didn't you guys,
39:30
Speaker 1: get the hell out of here when you had the chance.
39:33
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, we needed to help you, guys,
39:38
Speaker 1: and you know, we kind of owe the straw hats
39:40
Speaker 1: and we wanted to make sure you got out of
39:42
Speaker 1: here safely. So get back up on that ship and
39:47
Speaker 1: we'll make a path for you. And we've got the
39:53
Speaker 1: I love. I think it's a smoothie who says something like,
39:58
Speaker 1: what is this giant hairy baby? And the delivery of
40:02
Speaker 1: that line is really really funny to me. I don't
40:04
Speaker 1: know why, but like the way she said it is perfect.
40:09
Speaker 1: And all of these little ships that are surrounding the
40:13
Speaker 1: Sunny are getting scuppered. That's the word, right where somebody
40:18
Speaker 1: goes underneath and just pops a hole into it. They're
40:22
Speaker 1: shooting at the baby, who is just totally unharmed by
40:29
Speaker 1: this at all. And then they begin to go on
40:34
Speaker 1: board some of the ships and actually fight people on
40:37
Speaker 1: the decks. So here is when we've got this like
40:42
Speaker 1: weird genie thing that keeps turning up, you know, a
40:48
Speaker 1: big moment of him being like, I'll show you, and
40:52
Speaker 1: Aladdin uses an ability. I don't remember what this is called,
40:57
Speaker 1: but it's like a stream of light that sends the
41:01
Speaker 1: genie flying and completely pushes him off course. And he
41:06
Speaker 1: had been going to sink them, but instead it's like
41:09
Speaker 1: the blade he was going to use just goes back
41:12
Speaker 1: to the owner, the dude who has the genie come
41:16
Speaker 1: out of his belly. Really weird thing. We don't see
41:20
Speaker 1: the genie come back, We just see the blade come back.
41:22
Speaker 1: I trust that he can always get the genie back,
41:24
Speaker 1: that that connection doesn't get severed, but evidently cannot control
41:30
Speaker 1: it in the way that I had thought he might.
41:36
Speaker 1: So this is when we see the pathway open up
41:40
Speaker 1: between the ships and they put on a bunch of
41:45
Speaker 1: speed and just begin to fly past everybody, and the fishmen,
41:50
Speaker 1: who were like handling everybody says, we are going to
41:55
Speaker 1: make sure these guys don't lay a finger on you,
41:57
Speaker 1: so don't worry. And even as can't, balls are coming
42:00
Speaker 1: flying at them. We've got fishmen jumping out of the
42:03
Speaker 1: water kicking the cannonballs away from the ship, which is
42:08
Speaker 1: banana pants. And this is when JIMBEI realizes, Oh, and
42:14
Speaker 1: they they disabled the uh security snails what are they called.
42:20
Speaker 1: He realizes this because we had seen that earlier, but
42:22
Speaker 1: he didn't know about it, but he suddenly like realizes
42:25
Speaker 1: and understands that had they not intervened, this shit would
42:30
Speaker 1: have been over a long time ago. You know, they
42:32
Speaker 1: would have all been dead already by now. So then
42:38
Speaker 1: we get the weird, the weird what's the word I want?
42:47
Speaker 1: It's like a what is it called? When everybody begins
42:52
Speaker 1: to come together in the UH power Rangers and makes
42:56
Speaker 1: like a big giant power Ranger. That's kind of what's
43:01
Speaker 1: going on with German Double six. It's a cop they're
43:11
Speaker 1: coming together to make a large fighter. Meanwhile, Branch is
43:19
Speaker 1: over here with a bunch of bullets that are very
43:23
Speaker 1: specific to taking them down, and she's like completely certain
43:30
Speaker 1: that these are going to do the job and is
43:33
Speaker 1: giving them to all of the men who have this
43:36
Speaker 1: like giant gun they're about to shoot now. I'll be honest, y'all,
43:42
Speaker 1: I don't really get why she has them. Why does
43:46
Speaker 1: she have these bullets? Where did she get them? This
43:50
Speaker 1: isn't part of her power. It's just a weird thing
43:54
Speaker 1: for her to suddenly turn up with like the exact
43:57
Speaker 1: weapon that will pierce through their un breakable armor. And
44:04
Speaker 1: it just I think that part of it is too
44:08
Speaker 1: that Brulai has not been able to like make great
44:15
Speaker 1: use of her power for almost this whole arc. She
44:18
Speaker 1: uses her power initially to like trap people and it
44:22
Speaker 1: lasts for ten minutes before she herself gets like overpowered
44:25
Speaker 1: and then carried around like a tope bag because that
44:29
Speaker 1: person needs her to make the power that's now very
44:31
Speaker 1: convenient for them work the way that it needs to work.
44:36
Speaker 1: So this being like what she is able to step
44:41
Speaker 1: forward and offer, that's like really helpful. I was hoping
44:45
Speaker 1: that she would get to do something else with her
44:48
Speaker 1: mirror power, but it's sort of like we have had
44:51
Speaker 1: to completely abandon that, and I get like most of
44:54
Speaker 1: the mirrors have been destroyed. You know, I understand that,
44:57
Speaker 1: but I still thought maybe we'd pull something out somehow.
45:03
Speaker 1: Seraphim says, they are the bullets putting tested on raise
45:08
Speaker 1: you that they had prepped for the assassination. Bulay likely
45:12
Speaker 1: just used her part to run to an armory to
45:15
Speaker 1: get more. Florian says, this is Branch saying, time to
45:21
Speaker 1: wrap this arc up. Yeah, yeah, like her just running
45:27
Speaker 1: to an armory, I mean sure, like that will be
45:32
Speaker 1: literally how she gets them, But you get what I
45:35
Speaker 1: mean right about like symbolically as a character. Her being
45:41
Speaker 1: the one to pull these out is weird. It just
45:44
Speaker 1: feels weird. I was like, there are a lot of
45:47
Speaker 1: other characters that have been involved with this whole conflict
45:52
Speaker 1: that would be the ones I would expect to have
45:55
Speaker 1: this knowledge and supply. It just kind of it just
45:59
Speaker 1: caught me off guard. It was sort of weird. It's like,
46:01
Speaker 1: we didn't have anything else that we could give her
46:03
Speaker 1: to redeem the fact that she's been utterly useless and humiliated,
46:08
Speaker 1: so we had to do something, you know. So this
46:13
Speaker 1: is when fucking Oven decides that he is going to
46:18
Speaker 1: avenge Kateakori because his assumption, along with everyone else apparently
46:25
Speaker 1: who was like on this island, is there is no
46:28
Speaker 1: possible way Lufy won this fight fair and square. He
46:31
Speaker 1: had to have cheated. There is simply no other option,
46:35
Speaker 1: which I dearly want Katekori to just set them straight,
46:39
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. He wants to go after them.
46:42
Speaker 1: It doesn't It's like this is just a pretense, you know,
46:45
Speaker 1: it's fine, and it sort of gets a lot of
46:50
Speaker 1: other people psyched up too, surprisingly, Like I just didn't
46:54
Speaker 1: think so many folks were going to care this much
46:58
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, So we have German double six and
47:03
Speaker 1: they're doing their thing separately. They're being badasses, and then
47:09
Speaker 1: we see the unleash of the bullets and the way
47:13
Speaker 1: that this starts to really affect them. And I'm trying
47:20
Speaker 1: to jump to this part because oh my god, this
47:23
Speaker 1: it's so funny. Everybody is engaged in this battle, and
47:26
Speaker 1: then you'll cut to Big Mom who's just like prancing
47:30
Speaker 1: around in her fantasy world with her cake and her
47:33
Speaker 1: rose petals flutterating across the screen in a moment of
47:38
Speaker 1: pure happiness. And the way that she absolutely has no
47:44
Speaker 1: time to give a shit about what's going on with
47:47
Speaker 1: everybody else now a lot of people are about to
47:49
Speaker 1: die because she's too distracted by cake is extremely perfect
47:56
Speaker 1: and I love it. So I'm going to jump to
48:01
Speaker 1: the next I'm realizing, like, how I am running out
48:04
Speaker 1: of time, so sorry, guys, I have to jump into
48:06
Speaker 1: the next one. Although I have talked about a lot
48:08
Speaker 1: of it already. So I Mom winds up collapsed after
48:23
Speaker 1: eating all this cake, talking about what a great meal,
48:29
Speaker 1: and it's just in a food coma. I guess that
48:33
Speaker 1: is what you would call it. And I do love
48:39
Speaker 1: Parospero being next to her and being like, mom, are
48:43
Speaker 1: you all right? Because it really does not look like
48:45
Speaker 1: she's okay. And there's this moment where it looks as
48:53
Speaker 1: if the sunny has been what's the word I want?
48:59
Speaker 1: It looks like it's been nuked, basically like it's just
49:02
Speaker 1: a huge attack. Whole thing's on fire. The straw hat
49:06
Speaker 1: flag is like laying in the water, charred, and everyone
49:13
Speaker 1: is assuming we finally got them. We did it. Now.
49:18
Speaker 1: Of course I know that they're fine, but I am
49:21
Speaker 1: not sure how this could have been done. We have
49:27
Speaker 1: the slow like every single person out there being informed
49:31
Speaker 1: that the straw hats finally got taken care of, and cheering,
49:36
Speaker 1: and you know there is is it Almandine? Is that
49:44
Speaker 1: the name of the one with the big hat. She
49:47
Speaker 1: seems to be the main one that is not convinced
49:51
Speaker 1: of this. I want to throw some shade on Montor
49:56
Speaker 1: here as well, because you have been You have been mistaken,
50:03
Speaker 1: very very mistaken, thinking that an enemy was fully taken
50:06
Speaker 1: care of once already this battle. You are way too quick, sir,
50:13
Speaker 1: to state with total confidence that the straw hats have
50:16
Speaker 1: been taken care of for me once shame on you.
50:21
Speaker 1: It's twice. Now you need to slow your role a
50:24
Speaker 1: little bit with your little announcements guys, like, oh my god,
50:31
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Florian says a line of Mom's song
50:36
Speaker 1: that I like. It tastes so good. It brings back
50:39
Speaker 1: dead puppies or something that I forgot about that line.
50:44
Speaker 1: What is that line? Why it is so creepy? Oh
50:54
Speaker 1: my god, Florian says at this point, I would only
50:58
Speaker 1: believe it if their heads are in front of me,
51:00
Speaker 1: and like wholeheartedly, yes, absolutely, And then we get to
51:06
Speaker 1: see exactly what happened, and it's that are uh weird
51:15
Speaker 1: baby Waasumi yanked the ship underwater and they're all like
51:22
Speaker 1: on the deck, but they're under his hand. So there's
51:28
Speaker 1: like an air bubble that is keeping them from at
51:33
Speaker 1: first just flying off the ship into the water. But
51:37
Speaker 1: secondly there's well actually i'm looking now, no, there is
51:42
Speaker 1: water under there. Yeah, yeah, I thought that they were
51:45
Speaker 1: in a full air bubble. But he puts them in
51:48
Speaker 1: his mouth for that assid like to protect them and says,
51:52
Speaker 1: hang in there, guys. So that is the moment where
51:55
Speaker 1: the water goes away because he holds them in his mouth.
51:57
Speaker 1: But I guess swallows the water and there's still oxygen
52:02
Speaker 1: left in his mouth, which is so smart because like,
52:07
Speaker 1: not only does he pull the ship down, but he
52:10
Speaker 1: has another one that's wrecked that he shoves up in
52:14
Speaker 1: its place. And they're far enough away that nobody can
52:16
Speaker 1: really see the details of the ship, so it just
52:20
Speaker 1: serves as a real quick like switch them. And I
52:25
Speaker 1: just I loved this that this was a very weird reveal.
52:29
Speaker 1: And I have to assume that Wadatsumi can swim a
52:31
Speaker 1: lot further and faster than the ship would probably be
52:36
Speaker 1: able to travel on its own. Then we have this
52:43
Speaker 1: is this is it when Smoothie sees the shadow and
52:46
Speaker 1: says they're underwater. It was the giant hairy baby, That's
52:50
Speaker 1: what it was. Oh God, Smoothie, I'm so mad that
52:55
Speaker 1: you don't see or that you do see. I wish
52:59
Speaker 1: that you were as observant or as confident. And this
53:05
Speaker 1: is when Oven is just like, all right, trust I
53:09
Speaker 1: am about to get these assholes. And as he is
53:13
Speaker 1: like gearing up, a bunch of the ships are like
53:16
Speaker 1: turning to sort of aim at them, and I was like,
53:23
Speaker 1: you guys have been scuppered. Though I thought all of
53:25
Speaker 1: you were like done so because it's a particular looking
53:28
Speaker 1: type of ship, you know what I'm saying. So Oven,
53:33
Speaker 1: he shoves his hands underwater. I thought this was like
53:39
Speaker 1: really unfair. I didn't think that he was going to
53:41
Speaker 1: be able to make this kind of attack like under
53:46
Speaker 1: that just seems it just seems unfair, that's all I'm
53:49
Speaker 1: gonna says. It's and he zaps this kid who has
53:57
Speaker 1: to swim to the surface spit out the sunny, and
54:02
Speaker 1: now they are exposed again, and everybody knows, haha, they're
54:07
Speaker 1: still alive. And now we begin to fire upon them,
54:10
Speaker 1: and so to me stands and uses himself as a
54:15
Speaker 1: human shield and says, just go on without me. I
54:20
Speaker 1: know I did a bad thing on Fishman Island, but
54:23
Speaker 1: I'm real sorry. And I was just like very touched
54:30
Speaker 1: by this because there's no need for us to worry
54:34
Speaker 1: about this now. But he's still just I kind of
54:38
Speaker 1: owe you guys, because I was fucked up before, you know.
54:43
Speaker 1: And then we get the water shot and it's a
54:48
Speaker 1: Laddin versus Oven, and fucking Oven, your treachery knows no bounds.
54:58
Speaker 1: Never thought you'd sink so low, None of you disloyal
55:02
Speaker 1: worms deserve to live after this. And I really hate
55:09
Speaker 1: this man. I know I've said it already, but Oven
55:12
Speaker 1: fucking sucks. And I just this guy. I every time
55:20
Speaker 1: he's on screen, something bad's about to happen in a
55:22
Speaker 1: way that like isn't fun. It just so Aladdin comes
55:27
Speaker 1: at him yelling four thousand brickfists and lands a punch
55:34
Speaker 1: on his arm that doesn't seem to do anything. It
55:38
Speaker 1: just like there's a sort of ripple effect coming off
55:43
Speaker 1: the arm, like it's a shockwave or something, but there
55:47
Speaker 1: is no apparent effect. And then it cuts to his
55:50
Speaker 1: wife being like, show him what you got, honey, and
55:53
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, man, it doesn't really
55:55
Speaker 1: seem like he's showing him much of anything because I
55:57
Speaker 1: feel like of An was unmarked by this at all,
56:03
Speaker 1: you know, And let's see, oh right, And then when
56:08
Speaker 1: we cut back to the Sunny, it's got water in it,
56:13
Speaker 1: and this means that it is also the sails like
56:17
Speaker 1: fucked up in one spot because it was on fire.
56:19
Speaker 1: So the ship weighs more because it's got a bunch
56:23
Speaker 1: of water in it, and the sail is compromised, so
56:27
Speaker 1: it's not going to go fast enough. So the combo
56:32
Speaker 1: means that we are traveling quite slowly and we are
56:35
Speaker 1: being very clumpy, clunky, clumpy. This is when Jimba says,
56:43
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Loofy, but I cannot bring myself to leave them.
56:49
Speaker 1: And I was so delighted because I just don't care
56:53
Speaker 1: about him and he's been great in this arc and
56:56
Speaker 1: very helpful. That's fine, but I just you know, it's fine,
57:05
Speaker 1: which of course results in Loofy being like, well, then
57:11
Speaker 1: we're staying and helping too. Obviously, we're friends. We're gonna
57:16
Speaker 1: do that, and jim Bay is like, no, man, please
57:21
Speaker 1: let me do this. I will bring up the rear.
57:25
Speaker 1: I'm making you a vow, but you gotta let me
57:29
Speaker 1: handle it, and I'm going to go on by myself
57:32
Speaker 1: while you guys make an escape. And you know, we
57:37
Speaker 1: have this like drawn out moment between him and Lufy,
57:40
Speaker 1: and finally Lufy says, just remember I'm your captain now,
57:46
Speaker 1: so don't let me down. And uh, essentially, you better
57:53
Speaker 1: fucking show up or I'll find you and I'll kick
57:55
Speaker 1: your ass, and of course jim Bay means it, we
57:58
Speaker 1: know this, no question. Meanwhile, Big Mom is determined to
58:07
Speaker 1: go after the sonny and she's riding on the back
58:11
Speaker 1: of a frog. It's like a I think she calls
58:14
Speaker 1: it a candy frog. It is almost acting like a
58:19
Speaker 1: water ski for her. Not totally sure how this works.
58:23
Speaker 1: Also not really sure why she wasn't using this to
58:26
Speaker 1: begin with, but you know whatever, maybe she just wasn't
58:31
Speaker 1: really with it enough to realize that this was an option.
58:36
Speaker 1: And the guys, I'm sorry, I'm just looking at the
58:41
Speaker 1: time and realizing, like, I haven't even touched on Jim
58:45
Speaker 1: Bay's cover story yet. I mean I touched on it earlier,
58:50
Speaker 1: I guess. But Aladdin gets like knocked out of the sky.
58:56
Speaker 1: There's a point where he just gets thrown basically, and
59:01
Speaker 1: Jim Bay scoops him up, and he's like, hey, man,
59:04
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna go, but here you still are,
59:07
Speaker 1: because I guess you just don't think that we can
59:09
Speaker 1: take care of ourselves, which Jimbae is like, man, don't
59:12
Speaker 1: think of it that way. But I just feel like
59:14
Speaker 1: I owe you and I want to be here for
59:18
Speaker 1: you during this whole thing, and I think that's completely fair.
59:25
Speaker 1: So the fishmen also are able to shift the tide
59:32
Speaker 1: so that the ship is able to move away a
59:35
Speaker 1: lot faster than they would normally be able to. Let's see.
59:43
Speaker 1: Oh right, I forgot that. We see the fucking guys.
59:49
Speaker 1: Remind me, what is the name of the fucking is
59:54
Speaker 1: it Morgan? What's the name of the bird that's the
59:59
Speaker 1: the journalist, the owner of that newspaper. But he's looking
1:00:04
Speaker 1: down and taking note of absolutely everything that is happening
1:00:11
Speaker 1: and is delighted, which it's just a real way your
1:00:17
Speaker 1: you know, really, So let's see. He says something about
1:00:27
Speaker 1: the worst generation and that one of them is going
1:00:32
Speaker 1: to be the next pirate king, and he lists off
1:00:34
Speaker 1: a bunch of the dudes that we have met already
1:00:36
Speaker 1: and then ends, of course with loofy. So okay, just
1:00:43
Speaker 1: really quick, I'm gonna talk about Jimbei's cover story because
1:00:47
Speaker 1: it is so weird and funny. I'm trying to find
1:00:54
Speaker 1: the spot that's like a Lost Chivalrous Journey volume two,
1:00:58
Speaker 1: a Lost Sea King, and it's just like this catfish
1:01:03
Speaker 1: that's crying. And when I say catfish, it's a much
1:01:06
Speaker 1: cuter catfish than real catfish. Who gets brought to a
1:01:11
Speaker 1: sea dog officer in parentheses sea animal sheriff. I really
1:01:18
Speaker 1: am mad that we're getting these sorts of like, oh,
1:01:23
Speaker 1: by the way, sea animals have their own whole society
1:01:27
Speaker 1: as a like a little cover story. I want to
1:01:29
Speaker 1: know about this? Are you kidding me? I want to
1:01:32
Speaker 1: know all about this? What do you mean? So suffice
1:01:38
Speaker 1: to say, eventually there's this weird bit of news that
1:01:43
Speaker 1: you may gets about a town that got attacked by
1:01:46
Speaker 1: a bunch of sea creatures, giant ones, And when he
1:01:51
Speaker 1: goes to investigate, there's like a whole building that got
1:01:55
Speaker 1: like dropped in the middle of town, and all of
1:01:58
Speaker 1: the townsfolk or like, we don't know what happened, but
1:02:01
Speaker 1: we leave offerings over here by the sea, and they vanished,
1:02:05
Speaker 1: and then suddenly this building was here, and we find
1:02:09
Speaker 1: out that it was I don't know if it was
1:02:11
Speaker 1: specifically while it assuming it was, though, right, because he
1:02:14
Speaker 1: says at the end, like I want to go with you.
1:02:16
Speaker 1: So he evidently takes all the offerings and then it's like, well,
1:02:24
Speaker 1: I owe you guys for all this stuff you gave me,
1:02:27
Speaker 1: so I'll give you this house and just yanks the
1:02:31
Speaker 1: house off of the dude who's living in it, who's
1:02:36
Speaker 1: like a sea lion something, and he drops it into town,
1:02:41
Speaker 1: which is very disruptive as one can imagine. And also
1:02:46
Speaker 1: the sea animals who own the house when they wake
1:02:52
Speaker 1: up and the house is missing and they see that
1:02:54
Speaker 1: it's just like on this island now, they assumed the
1:02:58
Speaker 1: humans took it some how, which I'm not really sure
1:03:01
Speaker 1: how they think the humans would have pulled it off,
1:03:03
Speaker 1: but like who knows, doesn't matter, And so JIMBEI has
1:03:08
Speaker 1: to come in and figure out what happened and then
1:03:13
Speaker 1: set everything to rights and lecture what assuming about like
1:03:18
Speaker 1: taking stuff and just doing crazy shit without asking, and
1:03:23
Speaker 1: has to smooth things over between the sea animals and
1:03:25
Speaker 1: the humans, and YadA YadA, and uh yeah, it's a fun,
1:03:31
Speaker 1: weird little story and is the most I've liked Jimbay actually,
1:03:37
Speaker 1: so I would be very interested in more of that
1:03:40
Speaker 1: from him. I would just be more interested in declicive
1:03:43
Speaker 1: life stuff from one piece, to be honest. So okay,
1:03:49
Speaker 1: I have to wrap this up, but thank you guys
1:03:50
Speaker 1: again so much for hanging out. Appreciate you all very
1:03:53
Speaker 1: very much and looking forward to the next one We're
1:03:56
Speaker 1: getting towards the end of this. Until next time to
1:04:00
Speaker 1: the Loue motherfuckers. That was an Unspoiled Network podcast.
