Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
0:08
Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes seven eighty six and seven through
0:15
Speaker 1: seven eighty eight Total Land. Emperor Big Mom appears the
0:21
Speaker 1: Emperor's daughter Sanjay Soanji's fiance Pudding. I'm misspeaking a lot already.
0:27
Speaker 1: This doesn't bode well. A massive attack Mom's hunger pangs
0:35
Speaker 1: in these episodes Total Land is both wonderful and terrible.
0:45
Speaker 1: I have such deeply mixed feelings about the developments of
0:49
Speaker 1: this plot. Guys, I don't know where I stand. Welcome
0:56
Speaker 1: to spoil Me, Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha.
1:17
Speaker 1: Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode. So,
1:23
Speaker 1: y'all Big Mom. Now, I'm going to set aside all
1:32
Speaker 1: my feelings about a fat character and hunger pangs and
1:38
Speaker 1: YadA YadA, you know the way that this is being portrayed,
1:44
Speaker 1: and I am just going to mean into it and
1:50
Speaker 1: accept Big Mom's whole deal. That said, I really wanted
2:03
Speaker 1: her to have a much more awesome costume. I am
2:08
Speaker 1: so disappointed, y'all. The design of this island, the design
2:13
Speaker 1: of her ship, all of this is really giving. And
2:20
Speaker 1: then she's just in this like plain pink, almost nightgown
2:25
Speaker 1: looking dress. She's got really basic makeup and like a
2:33
Speaker 1: pink wig that's just her hair isn't even that weird
2:37
Speaker 1: for this show, And then like a tricorn pirate hat.
2:45
Speaker 1: The only thing about her that's really particularly stands out
2:50
Speaker 1: in her like overall costume is the pinkness, which you
2:55
Speaker 1: know that I can get on board with that, but
2:58
Speaker 1: I just I expect a lot more from the design
3:02
Speaker 1: of this character. I really thought there would be something
3:07
Speaker 1: inherently dessert like about her costume, and instead it's just,
3:16
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sad because, like I still have it
3:21
Speaker 1: in my head that I wouldn't mind cosplaying her, and
3:24
Speaker 1: I do still feel that way, and I think that
3:29
Speaker 1: I would be able to do this quite well. I
3:32
Speaker 1: have hair of a great texture to try and get
3:36
Speaker 1: this shape going without even needing a wig all of this.
3:40
Speaker 1: But guys, it's so bizarre to me, considering the effort
3:46
Speaker 1: that Oda puts into character design some of the time
3:49
Speaker 1: for people who don't even show up in the show
3:52
Speaker 1: very much, and then there's this like big character and
3:57
Speaker 1: it's just it, it's like everything got assembled out of
4:01
Speaker 1: stuff that was already in somebody's closet, you know. Saraphim says, yeah,
4:06
Speaker 1: she's reached the point of being old enough. She just
4:08
Speaker 1: gives no fucks and wants to be comfy. But being
4:11
Speaker 1: comfy and being really distinctive are not mutually exclusive, you know.
4:16
Speaker 1: I just I really thought that I was going to
4:20
Speaker 1: get something in particular here and I didn't. So I
4:23
Speaker 1: just really want to register my disappointment there, because everything
4:29
Speaker 1: surrounding Big Mom is super fun, and she herself is
4:35
Speaker 1: just so basic that it's almost shocking. I would be
4:40
Speaker 1: more inclined at this point to coseplay as her ship
4:45
Speaker 1: than to causeplay as her. That said, I still am
4:51
Speaker 1: very into the plot that we are beginning to see developing.
4:57
Speaker 1: So let's start with the beginning of seven eighty six,
5:03
Speaker 1: where it's Sanji, it's Loofy and Chopper standing there mouths agape,
5:13
Speaker 1: looking at this whole candy street, and they are trying
5:20
Speaker 1: to decide what to eat first. Now, Peckham's later actually
5:26
Speaker 1: explains that there are very specific rules about what you
5:30
Speaker 1: are and are not allowed to eat. You are definitely
5:33
Speaker 1: allowed to like indulge. I will say that the rules
5:39
Speaker 1: are overall very broad. So there's plenty of room within
5:48
Speaker 1: those rules to really go to town. But even so
5:53
Speaker 1: they don't even wind up getting in trouble because they
5:56
Speaker 1: get rescued. So this whole sequence of the two of
6:00
Speaker 1: them just being so overwhelmed by this place that they
6:04
Speaker 1: can't even decide where to start. And there's like all
6:09
Speaker 1: these different things made of chocolate that I also really
6:12
Speaker 1: wanted to explore, a chocolate bathhouse, which Chopper rightfully is like, wait,
6:18
Speaker 1: can chocolate make you clean? And I'm like, yeah, I
6:21
Speaker 1: don't feel like that's how that works. And then they
6:24
Speaker 1: see chocolate clothes, and when Chopper says can you eat them,
6:27
Speaker 1: we immediately cut to a guy who's eating his own
6:30
Speaker 1: sleeve and they just yell he did it, which I
6:35
Speaker 1: think is fantastic. This look. I have already said what
6:42
Speaker 1: I was hoping for with the Wonka movie versus what
6:48
Speaker 1: I got when I was a little kid, And this
6:50
Speaker 1: is very much leaning into exactly what I was looking for,
6:54
Speaker 1: which is that every single item should be made of
6:56
Speaker 1: candy slash chocolate, and it wasn't. And now I'm getting
7:02
Speaker 1: what I asked for. And the truth is it's because
7:05
Speaker 1: it's a cartoon, so you can. But I didn't understand
7:09
Speaker 1: that when I was a kid. You know, there's chocolate fireworks,
7:14
Speaker 1: which Chopper again, is chocolate explosive. And I just really
7:18
Speaker 1: like that we have all of these things made of chocolate.
7:22
Speaker 1: But it's not like they're taking it for granted that
7:24
Speaker 1: that's doable. Chopper is questioning it every time. It's just like, wait,
7:29
Speaker 1: does that make sense? So I just love it because
7:32
Speaker 1: it's sort of acknowledging the inherent silliness of the concept
7:37
Speaker 1: without actually having to answer the question, which is fine
7:40
Speaker 1: with me. So then Chopper's nose goes up and he's like,
7:47
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm smelling something that's even more yummy
7:50
Speaker 1: than the other stuff, and Lufy just says, where let's go,
7:55
Speaker 1: and they take off, and later on we find out
7:58
Speaker 1: that it is a specific blend of chocolate that Putting
8:03
Speaker 1: made and you guys, I absolutely this is something that
8:09
Speaker 1: I have wanted for a long time. But you know
8:13
Speaker 1: how it is. There are certain things that when they
8:15
Speaker 1: are very expensive, we can sort of like rationalize to
8:18
Speaker 1: ourselves why it's worth spending the money on something. Sometimes
8:24
Speaker 1: that's like just really going to get a lot of use,
8:29
Speaker 1: you know, that has to last a long time, so
8:31
Speaker 1: you can be like, oh, I need to invest and
8:33
Speaker 1: make sure that this lasts and we don't have to
8:35
Speaker 1: replace it. But then there are things that are one
8:40
Speaker 1: hundred percent pure indulgence, the kind of thing that you
8:44
Speaker 1: would never spend money on yourself. And the problem for
8:47
Speaker 1: me has always been in theory, those things should be
8:55
Speaker 1: a gift. You would never spend it for yourself, so
9:00
Speaker 1: it's something perfect for another person to give to you
9:03
Speaker 1: as a gift, and it's literally you would never choose
9:08
Speaker 1: to spend your own money on it. But when it
9:12
Speaker 1: comes to this, it is so expensive that I don't
9:16
Speaker 1: even want to put it out there for other people
9:20
Speaker 1: to purchase as a gift. And that is really, really,
9:25
Speaker 1: really nice quality expensive chocolate. If you have not actually
9:32
Speaker 1: looked at the pricing on real high end hand dipped chocolate,
9:41
Speaker 1: especially the types that I'm talking about, which are poured
9:45
Speaker 1: into these molds and hand painted with like colored cocoa fat,
9:52
Speaker 1: it's astronomical. A box of like a half pound of
9:59
Speaker 1: chocolate will be about seventy five dollars, and I just
10:05
Speaker 1: it's it's almost like it's so expensive in my mind
10:10
Speaker 1: that I don't even want a gift giver to pay
10:12
Speaker 1: for it, because I'd rather they spend their seventy five
10:16
Speaker 1: dollars on a gift that I would be able to reuse.
10:20
Speaker 1: It's one thing to spend seventy five bucks on an object,
10:24
Speaker 1: It's another thing to spend it on an item that
10:26
Speaker 1: is consumed and then gone. And really that's part of
10:33
Speaker 1: what makes it lovely, right, Like it's an ephemeral thing
10:39
Speaker 1: that you are indulging in when you get a really,
10:43
Speaker 1: really nice box of beautiful chocolates. But it's just as
10:46
Speaker 1: a person who has grown up and now also still
10:50
Speaker 1: lives with not really enough money to cover everything, it
10:56
Speaker 1: just feels so irresponsible. So saying all this, what I'm
11:02
Speaker 1: getting at is that some of these really expensive chocolate brands,
11:08
Speaker 1: they have what are called flights. You may have seen
11:13
Speaker 1: that word used with like beers and different types of
11:18
Speaker 1: sliders as well. A lot of restaurants will have flights
11:21
Speaker 1: for different types of a thing that you can sample
11:25
Speaker 1: all of the variety of flavors, and chocolate is no different.
11:30
Speaker 1: There are different growing conditions around the world for cocoa beans,
11:37
Speaker 1: just the same way there are for grapes when you're
11:40
Speaker 1: making wine. So the types of chocolate that you get
11:46
Speaker 1: from Africa versus South America, versus India. It's all going
11:52
Speaker 1: to be really different from each other. And I have
11:56
Speaker 1: always wanted to try some of these flights that have
11:59
Speaker 1: chocolate from around the world. There's a similar thing with
12:02
Speaker 1: different types of vanilla. Vanilla, like Madagascar Bourbon vanilla is
12:07
Speaker 1: the most popular, famous type of gourmet vanilla, and it's
12:12
Speaker 1: got a flavor profile that's very familiar and is what
12:15
Speaker 1: most people want when they use vanilla. But there are
12:19
Speaker 1: also different types of vanilla. You know. We have Tahitian,
12:23
Speaker 1: we have Mexican, we have Indonesian, and I have always
12:28
Speaker 1: wanted to see, like what's the difference. I would love
12:30
Speaker 1: to try them side by side and see what they're
12:32
Speaker 1: like and if I can tell. And the other thing
12:37
Speaker 1: that really, in a way, the show is dealing with
12:42
Speaker 1: chocolate is an extremely fraud product because it is what
12:53
Speaker 1: The fact is that for the majority of big chocolate
13:00
Speaker 1: companies that make mass produced chocolates like Snickers and you know,
13:05
Speaker 1: anything that you can get at like a grocery store,
13:08
Speaker 1: including Gia Delli's, you know things like that, all of
13:12
Speaker 1: them rely on slave labor. Every single one of them
13:17
Speaker 1: that is simply a fact, and it's why fair trade
13:24
Speaker 1: chocolate is a thing. I have personally tried really really
13:29
Speaker 1: hard over the last few years to severely cut back
13:34
Speaker 1: on the amount of chocolate that I am consuming from
13:38
Speaker 1: those brands. And even when I buy chocolate chips, I'm
13:41
Speaker 1: trying to get them from Boutard, which is a brand
13:46
Speaker 1: that you can find in like nicer grocery stores, and
13:49
Speaker 1: they their chocolate chips are fair trade and they are
13:53
Speaker 1: extremely good quality. Once you try them, you're gonna have
13:57
Speaker 1: a hard time going back to Nesli, I'll tell you that.
14:00
Speaker 1: But the show, it's like, we have a whole sequence
14:06
Speaker 1: later where they are raiding these surrounding islands for fruit,
14:14
Speaker 1: for flour, for all of the ingredients that they are
14:18
Speaker 1: going to need to make things, and it seems out
14:24
Speaker 1: of like it seems like super villain shit. But honestly,
14:30
Speaker 1: this isn't really that far off from the way the
14:34
Speaker 1: United States actually handles things. We come in and we
14:41
Speaker 1: take over and seize land and give people pennies per
14:48
Speaker 1: day to slave. And I use that word very purposefully
14:56
Speaker 1: in conditions that are incredibly unsafe, with barely any rest,
15:02
Speaker 1: barely any food, barely any medical attention. A lot of
15:07
Speaker 1: times these folks don't even have homes. There is like
15:11
Speaker 1: one huge building that they are all made to come
15:14
Speaker 1: and sleep in on the floor because we don't even
15:17
Speaker 1: provide them beds. And this is not really unusual. What
15:21
Speaker 1: I'm describing sounds extreme, but when you start looking into
15:25
Speaker 1: the nature of chocolate farming, this is actually kind of
15:30
Speaker 1: standard with bigger brands, and it's been quoted. I am
15:34
Speaker 1: trying to remember what company it was, because I feel
15:36
Speaker 1: like it was somebody from Nesley, but I might be
15:38
Speaker 1: off on this. When I was reading an article about
15:41
Speaker 1: fair trade chocolate and slavery with chocolate, there was a
15:48
Speaker 1: brand that had a spokesperson who actually said the words,
15:54
Speaker 1: if we were to pay everybody a living wage, nobody
15:58
Speaker 1: in the United States would be able to will afford
16:01
Speaker 1: our product. First of all, I don't believe you. Just
16:06
Speaker 1: straight up, let's just get that out of the way.
16:09
Speaker 1: Whenever somebody at the top of a chain tries to
16:12
Speaker 1: say we can't give the bottom part of the chain
16:15
Speaker 1: more because then it would inflate the price. No it wouldn't.
16:18
Speaker 1: It would just decrease your profits. Those are not the
16:21
Speaker 1: same thing. But let's say that, then Americans couldn't afford
16:26
Speaker 1: your product to be as dirt cheap as it is.
16:29
Speaker 1: Maybe that's fine. Maybe if it were more expensive to
16:39
Speaker 1: buy candy, we would be okay, it would be okay.
16:46
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not really concerned about us not being
16:49
Speaker 1: able to afford a luxury product like chocolate versus not
16:54
Speaker 1: being able to afford basics like you know, fruits and
16:58
Speaker 1: vegetables that we actually need for a balanced diet. I
17:02
Speaker 1: think that maybe not enslaving people is worth having more
17:09
Speaker 1: expensive chocolate. I just call me crazy. And so you know,
17:15
Speaker 1: there is a saying there is no responsible consumption under
17:22
Speaker 1: capitalism or something like that, and I know that that
17:26
Speaker 1: is true. But I also think it can be a
17:28
Speaker 1: real easy get out of jail free card when you
17:31
Speaker 1: just kind of don't want to change anything about your
17:33
Speaker 1: habits and consumption. And I think that you need to,
17:38
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be honest with yourself, take a look
17:39
Speaker 1: at some of the things that are crucial that you
17:43
Speaker 1: really can't negotiate on. For example, I shop at Walmart
17:48
Speaker 1: for my groceries, and it sucks, but they are the
17:53
Speaker 1: closest grocery store to me, and they have many products
17:57
Speaker 1: that I can't get at other stores, and they are
18:01
Speaker 1: much less expensive. All of this combines for with my income,
18:06
Speaker 1: I have to shop there. I really can't afford not to.
18:10
Speaker 1: But I don't need chocolate chips. I don't have to
18:17
Speaker 1: have them. That's not a requirement for me, and so
18:21
Speaker 1: I am willing to take the extra step for that
18:26
Speaker 1: and only get fair trade chocolate chips because it's not
18:30
Speaker 1: a necessity and it is a place where I can
18:32
Speaker 1: choose to make a more informed and compassionate choice. And
18:38
Speaker 1: this is not meant to shame anybody who's buying regular chocolate.
18:41
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that, like, there is truth to you
18:48
Speaker 1: the consumption under capitalism, but also there are places where
18:52
Speaker 1: we could do better, and just throwing our hands up
18:55
Speaker 1: and being cynical about how nothing we do can help
19:00
Speaker 1: isn't really honest either. So I'm just really I think
19:08
Speaker 1: it's interesting the plot that's developing, and I'm curious, like
19:14
Speaker 1: how much of this is really commentary and on purpose,
19:19
Speaker 1: and how much of it is just sort of a
19:22
Speaker 1: greedy person is going to dominate everybody else in order
19:28
Speaker 1: to get what they want. In a really basic sense,
19:31
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's a classic storyline that you could follow.
19:36
Speaker 1: So as this continues on, eventually we get to a
19:41
Speaker 1: point where we see that Big Mom has a as
19:45
Speaker 1: they call it, a condition, and she is demanding a
19:53
Speaker 1: chrocum bouche, which, for those who don't know what that is,
19:57
Speaker 1: they're like, it's little cream puff that it's like a
20:02
Speaker 1: pastry that puffs up into a sphere. You slice it
20:06
Speaker 1: in half, you fill it with I think Bavarian cream,
20:11
Speaker 1: and then you stick them to a cone shaped mold
20:19
Speaker 1: and create this like sugar thread by heating sugar, putting
20:26
Speaker 1: them like dipping the end of a whisk and shaking it.
20:30
Speaker 1: So it makes these long strains of thread that are sugar,
20:33
Speaker 1: and you decorate the chrocum bouche on top with all
20:36
Speaker 1: of that sugar, and it's beautiful. It's extremely intricate, like
20:43
Speaker 1: the every step to make it. It's not super difficult
20:47
Speaker 1: each thing, but it is time consuming. So the fact
20:51
Speaker 1: that she's getting a craving, but the craving is for
20:54
Speaker 1: something as complex as a chrocum boushe is very very
20:57
Speaker 1: funny to me. I just think that is like it's
21:00
Speaker 1: such a specific thing, and I really do enjoy that
21:04
Speaker 1: because as somebody who is a foodie. Sometimes I will
21:07
Speaker 1: have this as well, where I have a craving and
21:09
Speaker 1: it's for something so specific that, like, I don't think
21:13
Speaker 1: my husband would even know what it was if I
21:15
Speaker 1: tried to explain it to him, you know, And I
21:20
Speaker 1: don't live in an area where this stuff is easy
21:22
Speaker 1: to find. It's some of us might be able to
21:26
Speaker 1: just go down to our local patisserie and buy a
21:29
Speaker 1: fucking crokuombouche. I don't have one of those. I don't
21:32
Speaker 1: have patisseriri. I would probably have to drive an hour
21:35
Speaker 1: and a half into Dallas to find one. And it's
21:38
Speaker 1: a real I have no idea what the likelihood is
21:40
Speaker 1: of it being any good. So this whole thing with
21:45
Speaker 1: her having these like cravings and her eyes turned red
21:48
Speaker 1: and she's just completely decimating the area around her as
21:53
Speaker 1: she stalks through it trying to find the thing to
21:56
Speaker 1: solve her craving. My friend, this is the most relatable
22:02
Speaker 1: shit in the world. This is me on my period,
22:06
Speaker 1: and like, I know, anybody out there who gets a
22:12
Speaker 1: period knows what I'm fucking talking about. There is actual
22:16
Speaker 1: science to prove that chocolate while on your period can
22:22
Speaker 1: help with symptoms and I'm not getting into all that
22:25
Speaker 1: right now, but it's a real thing, and I will
22:29
Speaker 1: crave chocolate and I will also crave red meat and
22:34
Speaker 1: carbohydrates when I am on my period. It is a
22:39
Speaker 1: drive that is so strong that I can't explain how
22:45
Speaker 1: single minded it becomes. And there have been times where
22:49
Speaker 1: I am so desperate for whatever carb I want at
22:54
Speaker 1: the time that I will really go out of my
22:58
Speaker 1: way to either make it scratch when I kind of
23:01
Speaker 1: don't have the time, or go find it out somewhere
23:05
Speaker 1: when I probably shouldn't be spending the money. Like everything
23:09
Speaker 1: about this is very much like recognizable behavior to me,
23:16
Speaker 1: and I just I am. I am really enjoying all
23:22
Speaker 1: of this, even though there's still a little voice in
23:24
Speaker 1: my head whispering about like the fat person being like
23:30
Speaker 1: a glutton always as the plot point. Fine, yes that's true,
23:35
Speaker 1: but I am willing to just look past it because
23:39
Speaker 1: the rest of this is so much fun. I'm sorry,
23:44
Speaker 1: I just saw Sarah em like I said, we need
23:47
Speaker 1: double the episodes for this arc just for the food talk.
23:50
Speaker 1: Probably it'll be fine, but like, yeah, I could see
23:54
Speaker 1: why you feel that way. Florian says, I had it
23:56
Speaker 1: once loved it talking about Krokomboush. I'm assuming Florian. Yeah,
24:00
Speaker 1: it's good. It's funny too, because you would really think
24:03
Speaker 1: that that sugar thread is just decoration, but the pastry
24:08
Speaker 1: is not that sweet, so the sugar thread really adds
24:11
Speaker 1: something because it's only lightly caramelized, but it's like a
24:14
Speaker 1: texture thing and it's an extra sweetness thing, and it's
24:19
Speaker 1: just divine what it's made. Those little puffballs are made
24:23
Speaker 1: with what's called shoe pastry choux, which is a type
24:28
Speaker 1: of dough that is actually made on the stovetop. You
24:31
Speaker 1: cook it on the stove to get it to the
24:33
Speaker 1: right consistency, and then you put that dough in a
24:36
Speaker 1: piping bag and you squeeze that out and bake it
24:40
Speaker 1: and that's when it really puffs. And that same dough
24:42
Speaker 1: is what they use to make it clears. And there's
24:46
Speaker 1: another thing that they make that I remember. It's called
24:49
Speaker 1: religious I think is how you say it in French.
24:52
Speaker 1: And they're these little things that are two balls, one
24:55
Speaker 1: smaller than the other sitting on top and they are
24:59
Speaker 1: they have like chocolate and vanilla, and they're called relig
25:01
Speaker 1: just because they look like nuns when they have their
25:04
Speaker 1: like chocolate and vanilla on them. They look like little nuns,
25:07
Speaker 1: which I always thought was adorable. But anyway, I might
25:12
Speaker 1: have to make this stuff, guys. It's really I think
25:15
Speaker 1: I might have to do this. It's we're getting into
25:17
Speaker 1: baking season, and a lot of this stuff are things
25:21
Speaker 1: that I made when I was in pastry and baking
25:23
Speaker 1: school and then never made again. And now I'm kind
25:26
Speaker 1: of feeling like I want to, you know what I'm saying.
25:29
Speaker 1: So anyway, all right, I've talked about a lot of things,
25:32
Speaker 1: so I don't feel too bad about taking us off
25:35
Speaker 1: topic here for a bit, because I really it's not
25:38
Speaker 1: that off topic. I'm pretty much still talking about a
25:41
Speaker 1: lot of the plot beats and I while i'm here,
25:48
Speaker 1: I will talk about what's going on with this Bonker's
25:55
Speaker 1: song that Big Mom sings, because my friends, this is
26:01
Speaker 1: so odd. Now I know that a lot of what
26:07
Speaker 1: feels odd about it is actually a translation issue. It's
26:13
Speaker 1: one thing for songs to be dissonant in order to
26:17
Speaker 1: excuse me, in order to like get across that something
26:22
Speaker 1: here is very twisted, you know, about whatever it is
26:26
Speaker 1: that they're saying or the intent. It's another thing for
26:32
Speaker 1: it to be a dissonant tune and for the words
26:37
Speaker 1: to not really fall into a rhythm or rhyme with
26:42
Speaker 1: each other or anything. It's like I said, I'm certain
26:46
Speaker 1: that it's a translation thing, and that if you were
26:49
Speaker 1: to see this with the actual original Japanese that it
26:55
Speaker 1: does have like a rhyming scheme or a rhythm to it,
26:59
Speaker 1: But something about it not having either of those things
27:03
Speaker 1: just makes it feel all the more disturbing as you're watching.
27:08
Speaker 1: And then basically it's all about how I'm about to
27:12
Speaker 1: have a party. I'm so excited about all the food,
27:15
Speaker 1: and yes, probably people were killed in order to provide
27:20
Speaker 1: this food. I don't care. This is what I want,
27:24
Speaker 1: fuck you all. And it's such a bright and happy look.
27:32
Speaker 1: Like the sound of the song is in itself very dissonant.
27:36
Speaker 1: But if you were only watching this without the sound
27:42
Speaker 1: at all, if it weren't for big Mom's evil expression
27:50
Speaker 1: and the sort of like you know, look that she
27:52
Speaker 1: has going on. Mostly it's like dancing furniture and to
28:00
Speaker 1: people setting tables and a very like kind of be
28:04
Speaker 1: our guest sort of energy with a more cartoonish feel.
28:10
Speaker 1: That's what it looks like. But once you actually hear it.
28:14
Speaker 1: It's giving more the song of the Oogie Boogie sings
28:20
Speaker 1: in Nightmare before Christmas, and it's just remind me if
28:27
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, Guys, is this the first time we have
28:34
Speaker 1: actually had like a full on musical number, because I
28:41
Speaker 1: know that we have had songs like Brooke. You know,
28:45
Speaker 1: he's been going and doing concerts and stuff, and I'm
28:49
Speaker 1: trying to remember if there were like a bunch of
28:53
Speaker 1: people participating as he walked around to town singing along
28:57
Speaker 1: with him. I feel like it's pretty much been him
28:59
Speaker 1: one and it's very much like, yeah, but he's performing
29:05
Speaker 1: right now. In story, the fact that he is singing
29:09
Speaker 1: makes sense and is part of the plot. But here
29:13
Speaker 1: this is feeling very like spontaneously breaking out into song
29:18
Speaker 1: because I'm so overwhelmed by my emotions like a musical,
29:22
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, which is different and uh okay.
29:26
Speaker 1: Sarahim says, no, this is the first non Brook based
29:30
Speaker 1: musical number. Musical number. Florien' says Soga king theme did
29:37
Speaker 1: people break out and sing and dance with that? I
29:40
Speaker 1: don't remember, Sarahim says, at least that I can think of.
29:43
Speaker 1: That isn't a musical number that is an anime opening.
29:47
Speaker 1: Oh oh, okay, now I know what Floria's talking about. Yeah, no, Florian,
29:50
Speaker 1: that doesn't count. I'm talking about people like in a
29:54
Speaker 1: scene who are all like having a moment, and then
29:59
Speaker 1: the entire ensemble in that scene all sings and dances.
30:03
Speaker 1: So we've never seen that before, right, And I'm kind
30:07
Speaker 1: of feeling like that the fact that that is happening
30:11
Speaker 1: with this character is also kind of a nod to
30:16
Speaker 1: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, because there were weird
30:19
Speaker 1: moments in that where people would sing and dance and
30:22
Speaker 1: it was sort of like odd when it would happen.
30:28
Speaker 1: So anyway, I uh, all of this adds up to
30:33
Speaker 1: I'm very into it. I really really am enjoying this
30:38
Speaker 1: so much and so excited to see. Like it's a
30:42
Speaker 1: shame that we have to leave this Chocolate Island as
30:44
Speaker 1: soon as we do, but I'm sure we'll get back
30:48
Speaker 1: here eventually. So I'm backing up again to the episode.
30:58
Speaker 1: The part of the episode. First of all, Nammy and
31:02
Speaker 1: Carrot are both being given costume changes, and I just
31:08
Speaker 1: want to note it's for some reason only ever the
31:14
Speaker 1: women characters that have to change their outfits where when
31:17
Speaker 1: they go to a new place, you know, like, look,
31:21
Speaker 1: I know that Nami's character, part of the deal with
31:25
Speaker 1: her is that she loves clothes. However, I will point
31:31
Speaker 1: out in the past it's also been her and Robin
31:36
Speaker 1: who have had to change clothes. And the fact that
31:40
Speaker 1: it's just again the two women, it's not lost on me.
31:45
Speaker 1: And of course the appod always has to be something
31:47
Speaker 1: hyper sexualized, and here it's this like kind of peasant top,
31:53
Speaker 1: super low cut mini skirt thing, and it's very cute,
31:57
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but you know, it's really I
32:01
Speaker 1: see what you're doing here. And then we have Carrott,
32:05
Speaker 1: who is also wearing something that's like a mini dress basically,
32:09
Speaker 1: and she looks adorable. It's a whole weird thing with her.
32:15
Speaker 1: I don't know what to think about her character. And
32:18
Speaker 1: then Brooke, of course has to be on the ground
32:24
Speaker 1: trying to see up Nami's skirt. Guys, all I ask
32:36
Speaker 1: is that we just remove this part of Brooke's personality.
32:42
Speaker 1: I just want to love him. I just want to
32:45
Speaker 1: be allowed to love Brooke without any except fors and
32:52
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm not allowed to do it. There's a
32:57
Speaker 1: there's was like somewhere I saw where a person was
33:01
Speaker 1: saying talking about like people's least favorite one piece characters.
33:06
Speaker 1: They were asking other folks and I just like perused
33:10
Speaker 1: briefly to see what people said. And somebody said Brook
33:15
Speaker 1: and I was, as you can imagine, clutching my pearls
33:19
Speaker 1: at that response because I love him so much. But
33:22
Speaker 1: every time something like this happens, I kind of wonder
33:25
Speaker 1: if this is the reason. And then I can't really
33:27
Speaker 1: fault the person, you know, because it is m it's tedious.
33:35
Speaker 1: So this whole thing ends with Peckham's after he gives
33:40
Speaker 1: this what do you call it a lecture? He delivers
33:45
Speaker 1: this lecture to Kara about what you are and aren't
33:48
Speaker 1: allowed to eat on the island, and I love when
33:51
Speaker 1: he asks her, are you even listening to me? And
33:53
Speaker 1: she says that was pretty complicated, So no, I actually
33:58
Speaker 1: laughed out loud. I appreciate you just admitting it. That's fine.
34:04
Speaker 1: And then when he's starting to yell about this, he
34:14
Speaker 1: realizes that both Lufy and Chopper are gone. They have
34:22
Speaker 1: taken off. They don't know the rules. And I love
34:25
Speaker 1: the way that this the response from Nami is pure,
34:31
Speaker 1: that's okay. They won't be missing for very long. And
34:34
Speaker 1: then you just hear people in the town beginning to
34:38
Speaker 1: beginning to exclaim, and she goes, see, there they are
34:42
Speaker 1: right now, and I was just like, oh my god, really,
34:47
Speaker 1: so these two have gone and eaten an entire cafe,
34:55
Speaker 1: And I you, guys, what would have happened to them
35:08
Speaker 1: if it weren't for putting showing up on site? What
35:13
Speaker 1: would have happened? Would they have been thrown in jail?
35:17
Speaker 1: I'm assuming or find or something. Anyway, the bit here
35:24
Speaker 1: is that they are both just so overloaded with chocolate
35:29
Speaker 1: that they can barely move, and when pudding comes up
35:33
Speaker 1: and is just like covering for them, she gives them
35:37
Speaker 1: a couple of like what I keep thinking of, there
35:41
Speaker 1: are these like mass produced cookies that you can buy
35:46
Speaker 1: in Britain that are I think wafers or cookies with
35:51
Speaker 1: jam between, and then they're covered in chocolate, and what
35:54
Speaker 1: she's handing them looks like that kind of to me.
35:57
Speaker 1: I can't remember the name of them. I keep wanting
35:59
Speaker 1: to say Jammy Dodge, and I don't think that's right.
36:02
Speaker 1: But she like offers these to them and they don't
36:06
Speaker 1: even reach out to take them. They just literally open
36:09
Speaker 1: their mouths, and I I just the fact that they
36:14
Speaker 1: go ah and they just let her feed them is
36:17
Speaker 1: endlessly funny to me. So she covers for them by
36:21
Speaker 1: saying that her cafe was about to expire anyway, and
36:25
Speaker 1: that she hired them to eat it, which I really
36:29
Speaker 1: enjoy that the man who's talking to them at that
36:31
Speaker 1: point calls them a demolition crew. I thought that was
36:35
Speaker 1: very cute. And basically it's like he says something like, well,
36:40
Speaker 1: you do need to put up signs if you're going
36:42
Speaker 1: to be doing that, and also wait till the customers
36:45
Speaker 1: are gone, which I'm just imagining them literally eating the
36:48
Speaker 1: chairs out from under customers, like you know what I'm saying,
36:53
Speaker 1: just fucking like jaws coming up from underneath them. And
36:58
Speaker 1: they wind up like the whole crew that had been
37:02
Speaker 1: on the ship with Peckham's the rest of them. They
37:06
Speaker 1: come running in to try and get like fix the problem,
37:11
Speaker 1: and they arrived just in time to see putting cover
37:15
Speaker 1: up for them. And I should mention putting like flies
37:18
Speaker 1: in on a magic carpet. This is a weird one.
37:22
Speaker 1: I don't really know what to make of this. It
37:24
Speaker 1: doesn't feel exactly on theme. So that's part of what's
37:28
Speaker 1: sort of odd for me. But the other thing is
37:36
Speaker 1: that the sound effect they have decided to use for
37:39
Speaker 1: when this carpet is flying bums me out. Man. It
37:45
Speaker 1: is so high pitched and kind of squeally that my dogs,
37:50
Speaker 1: they were asleep on the couch when this sound effect began,
37:53
Speaker 1: they both sat up. They both like awoke because they
37:56
Speaker 1: were going, what the fuck is that noise? And I
37:58
Speaker 1: can't help but agree with that, to be honest, like,
38:01
Speaker 1: I did not care for this, and I don't really
38:03
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like that sound effect suits a flying carpet.
38:10
Speaker 1: I thought it should have much more of like a
38:12
Speaker 1: kind of whoosh, you know what I'm saying. So anyway,
38:17
Speaker 1: I really wanted, like I want them to change this sound.
38:23
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's the same one as in the
38:25
Speaker 1: original or not. But anyway, the flying carpet thing, I
38:33
Speaker 1: will say, at the very least carpet carpet. We're getting
38:40
Speaker 1: another object singing its name, and you know I'm here
38:44
Speaker 1: for it. Kids. I love it. This thing, especially since
38:51
Speaker 1: the word carpet actually is two syllables, is perfect. It
38:57
Speaker 1: works out so well. I'm very very into it. So
39:01
Speaker 1: the arrival of her is very dramatic on the back
39:05
Speaker 1: of this flying carpet, and then she covers for them
39:10
Speaker 1: and invites them back to her place. And what she
39:14
Speaker 1: says is because they thank her for getting them out
39:22
Speaker 1: of this jam that they were in. Eh, jam Oh,
39:30
Speaker 1: I didn't. It's fine Jaffa cakes. That's the cookie. I'm
39:34
Speaker 1: thinking of. Jaffa cakes. Saraphim also said, Jammie Dodgers, I know,
39:39
Speaker 1: but they don't have chocolate. But no, it's Jaffa cakes,
39:41
Speaker 1: that's the thing. She tells them how much it meant
39:49
Speaker 1: to her that they loved what she made so much
39:53
Speaker 1: that she's like, it's because of what you said that
39:58
Speaker 1: it was too good to resu and that was what
40:02
Speaker 1: made me feel like it was all worth it. And
40:06
Speaker 1: she describes the way that she made it too. And
40:09
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find the moment here, I'm the one
40:12
Speaker 1: who should be thinking all of you because of what
40:15
Speaker 1: you said that it was too delicious, And her face
40:20
Speaker 1: gets all red and she puts her hands over her
40:22
Speaker 1: face and sais and says, it's a new blend I
40:24
Speaker 1: just came up with. Did it melt in your mouth properly?
40:28
Speaker 1: I added milk to cocoa butter and mixed it with
40:31
Speaker 1: a high purity beet sugar needed for three days straight
40:36
Speaker 1: at twenty six degrees precisely, and beet sugar. I'm not
40:42
Speaker 1: sure I've had chocolate made with beet sugar. I've had
40:44
Speaker 1: it with coconut sugar. I'm trying to think, but I
40:48
Speaker 1: am fascinated. You know, I want a tasting. I want
40:51
Speaker 1: a flight of chocolate tastings like please. And as she's
40:58
Speaker 1: talking to them, by the way, Lufy and Chopper are
41:02
Speaker 1: continuing to eat despite having been so completely overstuffed that
41:08
Speaker 1: they couldn't move earlier. Brooke also is very much like
41:15
Speaker 1: falling in love with Pudding and extremely jealous when he
41:20
Speaker 1: eventually finds out that she is Sangie's I'm trying to
41:28
Speaker 1: find the word not alleged, but ugh, I'm trying to
41:35
Speaker 1: I can't think of the word, but his fiance. And
41:39
Speaker 1: we find out that he actually told her that as
41:43
Speaker 1: much as he would like to marry her, he can't
41:46
Speaker 1: do it. And this is when they all their jaws
41:49
Speaker 1: drop at the fact that he actually rejected a woman.
41:55
Speaker 1: I am very much for the record shipping Soanji and
42:06
Speaker 1: Pudding I the two of them both love to cook.
42:15
Speaker 1: He likes to do savory stuff, she likes to do
42:18
Speaker 1: chocolate desserts. She takes it super seriously obviously, and is
42:26
Speaker 1: the exact type to appreciate the over attentiveness of a
42:32
Speaker 1: guy like Sanji that I think many women would find
42:35
Speaker 1: really really annoying. I need Sanji to get married now.
42:42
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it. I don't care about all
42:47
Speaker 1: of the complications that will result due to alliances, YadA YadA.
42:55
Speaker 1: I don't care these two loo. If I'm being real
43:01
Speaker 1: with you all, I'm very much looking at all of
43:05
Speaker 1: this like I'm trying to staff the Sonny with the
43:11
Speaker 1: perfect people to sustain our friends with like fantastic food.
43:17
Speaker 1: And if we have both her and Soangy, we have
43:21
Speaker 1: got an unbeatable situation. You know, We've got incredible savories
43:27
Speaker 1: and sweets from two people who love doing it, who
43:32
Speaker 1: are in the kitchen together and like each other. I mean,
43:36
Speaker 1: it just doesn't seem like it gets better than that.
43:39
Speaker 1: So I am shipping them, and if it turns out
43:44
Speaker 1: that they can't be together for some reason, I will
43:48
Speaker 1: genuinely be bummed about it. I feel like there has
43:52
Speaker 1: to be a way that he marries her and also
43:57
Speaker 1: gets to stay with the straw hats. I don't care.
44:00
Speaker 1: I just think there has to be a way. Figure
44:02
Speaker 1: it out, guys, figure out a way to get her
44:05
Speaker 1: to be removed from the family somehow or I don't know,
44:09
Speaker 1: but it has to be done. These two are destined
44:14
Speaker 1: for one another. Figure it out, you know. Sarahim says,
44:20
Speaker 1: Lufi has at least a rubber stomach, choppers should have
44:22
Speaker 1: to go into one of his bigger forms to fit
44:24
Speaker 1: all that food in. I like that idea. Both of
44:26
Speaker 1: them would be a disaster. Lufy would be in a
44:28
Speaker 1: food coma the entire time. Okay, that might not be
44:31
Speaker 1: a bad thing, honestly. Yeah, anything to just sort of
44:34
Speaker 1: keep him from interfering with all of the other stuff
44:36
Speaker 1: that he could fuck up on the ship is fine.
44:38
Speaker 1: It's fine keep him distracted. So yeah, it was also
44:44
Speaker 1: interesting because, like, you guys know that when we first
44:47
Speaker 1: saw her picture in the last group of episodes, I said, like,
44:51
Speaker 1: I wonder if she's actually as sweet as she looks
44:53
Speaker 1: or if she's secretly a monster. And it is funny
44:58
Speaker 1: that I didn't even can consider the pun of like,
45:01
Speaker 1: is she as sweet as she looks. But it turns
45:04
Speaker 1: out like she is. She's just as sweet as she looks,
45:08
Speaker 1: and all like almost to a point of me being like,
45:12
Speaker 1: all right, tone it down, but I still so far
45:16
Speaker 1: and finding her quite likable. So we'll see if that
45:20
Speaker 1: is sustained. Who knows, So let's see. I'm trying to
45:26
Speaker 1: go and make sure that I'm not missing anything here
45:29
Speaker 1: because I have to scrub over into the next episode,
45:35
Speaker 1: did you do Let's see. Oh right, So eventually they
45:39
Speaker 1: get to the point where they're just like, look, here's
45:43
Speaker 1: the thing. We're trying to rescue him from this because
45:49
Speaker 1: of the whole alliance thing. We don't want him to
45:52
Speaker 1: be part of Big Mom's crew. And she's like, all right,
45:59
Speaker 1: you know what, I would give up soangy if it's
46:07
Speaker 1: necessary for his health and safety and happiness and whatever.
46:13
Speaker 1: If that is what has to happen, then fine. And
46:18
Speaker 1: it was just a nice moment, you know, of her
46:21
Speaker 1: being like, I do actually really like this guy and
46:25
Speaker 1: care about him, but that doesn't mean that I am
46:30
Speaker 1: selfish about wanting what I want. Regardless, I am willing
46:35
Speaker 1: to put his happiness and joy first, and that is
46:41
Speaker 1: unfortunately not something a lot of people are able to
46:45
Speaker 1: do when they love someone. They seem to think that
46:48
Speaker 1: love means that they just get to do whatever they
46:51
Speaker 1: want and use the fact that they love the person
46:55
Speaker 1: as a kind of weapon against them. And it's always
47:00
Speaker 1: really sad to watch that happen because I have always
47:03
Speaker 1: felt just like, wow, you are really entirely missing the point.
47:09
Speaker 1: But she understands how much this means to Sanji because
47:15
Speaker 1: of him talking to her. He actually said, I'd love
47:20
Speaker 1: for this to be the thing, but I just can't
47:22
Speaker 1: do it, and she heard him, Wow, I didn't think
47:25
Speaker 1: that that was something that was going to be so
47:27
Speaker 1: difficult to find in life, but you know, there it is.
47:33
Speaker 1: So let's see, she says, I know it's hard to
47:36
Speaker 1: trust me because I'm one of Big Mom's children, and
47:39
Speaker 1: Nami says, well, sort of, and she says, honestly, I'm
47:43
Speaker 1: afraid to make her angry. But even so, if Soanji
47:48
Speaker 1: is your friend and you came here to take him back,
47:51
Speaker 1: then I'll help you. And let's see, she's my mom,
47:58
Speaker 1: but I'm my own person, and she mentions how many
48:04
Speaker 1: members of the family there are. It turns out that
48:06
Speaker 1: Big Mom has like a harem of husbands. I think
48:10
Speaker 1: she says she's got like forty eight husbands something like that,
48:15
Speaker 1: and each of them has got like six kids. The
48:22
Speaker 1: idea that she has this many biological children is bananas, Like,
48:27
Speaker 1: how does that even work? Is that supposed to be
48:30
Speaker 1: part of why she's craving things is that she's fucking
48:35
Speaker 1: perpetually pregnant, Because that would be really funny. It's not
48:39
Speaker 1: even just that she's fat, it's that she is pregnant
48:42
Speaker 1: all the time, and so she constantly wants weird sweets
48:47
Speaker 1: because she's just overcome with these these pregnancy cravings. I
48:52
Speaker 1: wouldn't hate that as a plot device, actually, I think
48:55
Speaker 1: that'd be kind of funny. So she sits down and
49:02
Speaker 1: she draws a map for them, and let's see, I'm
49:09
Speaker 1: trying to find the spot where she explains this. She says,
49:14
Speaker 1: the people of Toto Land, they gave us their blessing.
49:19
Speaker 1: They're celebrating, and I'm assuming everybody on this island would
49:25
Speaker 1: be part of the party. She says, they're like the
49:30
Speaker 1: Vince Smoke family is excited as well. They are looking
49:34
Speaker 1: She's looking forward to the wedding cake and I've dreamed
49:40
Speaker 1: about my wedding day. Since I was little, I wondered
49:43
Speaker 1: about my soulmate, what he'd be like. Then one day
49:47
Speaker 1: I got to meet my sangi and then we get
49:51
Speaker 1: the scene of him walking up to her and everybody
49:54
Speaker 1: being stunned that he rejected her. And let's see, I
50:01
Speaker 1: can't take him away from you. Brooke is fucking sobbing, crying.
50:07
Speaker 1: The heart wants what the heart wants, as they say,
50:10
Speaker 1: which is why if this is what Sanji's heart wants,
50:14
Speaker 1: I'm in, let me help you. And there's all of
50:20
Speaker 1: these different islands and she shows them the root, cacao, jam, nuts, candy,
50:28
Speaker 1: and eventually whole Cake Island. Oh, Biscuits is another one
50:33
Speaker 1: because some of it's out of frame so it's hard
50:35
Speaker 1: to see. I do wonder why it's whole cake and
50:40
Speaker 1: not just cake island. I'm I feel like there has
50:44
Speaker 1: to be something like idiomatic about that. I say, we
50:49
Speaker 1: rendezvous tomorrow at the coast right here, okay, and she
50:52
Speaker 1: points out this spot. I promise I'll bring Sanjy there,
50:56
Speaker 1: whatever the cost, let's all work together. And Nami's like,
51:02
Speaker 1: do you think big mom will punish you? And she says, Mama,
51:05
Speaker 1: And I are family, so don't worry about me. It's
51:09
Speaker 1: worse for you because you're in hostile territory. And I'm
51:13
Speaker 1: honestly kind of concerned at the fact that she is
51:16
Speaker 1: so unconcerned. It feels like, I think this might go
51:20
Speaker 1: way worse for you than you realize. And it's probably
51:22
Speaker 1: a good thing that you don't realize, or else you
51:24
Speaker 1: might not be willing to help them at this point.
51:28
Speaker 1: But you know, like I'm worried about her. Okay, here's
51:33
Speaker 1: a full view of the map. Cacao to jam, to cheese,
51:38
Speaker 1: to biscuits, to nuts, to candy, to whole cake. Trying
51:43
Speaker 1: to think what I would add in here. I think
51:45
Speaker 1: it's surprising that we've got some things that are like
51:50
Speaker 1: individual ingredients, and then we've got some things that there's
51:53
Speaker 1: it's like a finished product. Like nuts, you know, that's
51:57
Speaker 1: something it grows as it grows. But biscuits something that
52:00
Speaker 1: like you put together. And cheese. There's different types of cheese, granted,
52:05
Speaker 1: but it is like one particular type of product. Cheese
52:09
Speaker 1: and jam and candy those all kind of fall under
52:13
Speaker 1: the same you know. I think biscuits is the real
52:16
Speaker 1: outlier here, I guess, but I am looking forward to
52:22
Speaker 1: seeing more of these other islands we pass eventually one
52:26
Speaker 1: that's got it's pouring like fruit juice into the ocean water,
52:30
Speaker 1: so the water turns purple. And there's this thing that's
52:36
Speaker 1: happening throughout these episodes with Pedro. He is he runs
52:46
Speaker 1: into somebody who knows him, and then when they're like
52:51
Speaker 1: on the sea again, he's saying, oh, yeah, well there's
52:54
Speaker 1: an island here that's like this, and he points out
52:57
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff that indicates he has been here
53:00
Speaker 1: before and he knows his way around. But for some reason,
53:05
Speaker 1: he doesn't really want to be honest with him about that,
53:09
Speaker 1: and I'm not really sure why not. It's like there's
53:13
Speaker 1: definitely something shady going on, but I can't imagine what
53:16
Speaker 1: it is. Like he was living with the Minx and
53:20
Speaker 1: seemed like he had been intending to just stay there.
53:23
Speaker 1: So I don't know if if he's like hiding from
53:26
Speaker 1: the law, you know, if there's something that he was
53:28
Speaker 1: involved with that was illegal, that he escaped and now
53:31
Speaker 1: he's like potentially risking something by coming back. Excuse me.
53:36
Speaker 1: I don't know why I had pickuping so bad, but
53:41
Speaker 1: it's definitely something that They're drawing our attention to repeatedly,
53:46
Speaker 1: and I truly do not know what to make of it.
53:49
Speaker 1: I really don't. I just keep looking at it, like,
53:51
Speaker 1: but is what is going on there? And I'm running
53:57
Speaker 1: out of time, so I'm gonna just kind of jump
53:59
Speaker 1: ahead to the part where, Oh, I forgot that there's
54:04
Speaker 1: a moment that we spend with Sanjy. I forgot we
54:07
Speaker 1: actually get to see him. Who is he with? He's
54:12
Speaker 1: in like a real foggy area and smoking a cigarette
54:17
Speaker 1: as he is wont to do. I will never get
54:19
Speaker 1: over the fact that they had to change this into
54:20
Speaker 1: a lollipop. I find that sofa, and I guess they
54:23
Speaker 1: would have had to edit out the smoke and stuff.
54:26
Speaker 1: What a pain. Oh right, this is fucking Veto talking about?
54:34
Speaker 1: Is it Gemma sixty six? Gemma? I don't remember. But
54:37
Speaker 1: they're walking up to their castle. They have the big
54:42
Speaker 1: flag flying and everything, and Veto is just really excited
54:47
Speaker 1: to meet his heroes from these stories and doesn't understand
54:51
Speaker 1: why Sanji isn't more pumped or at least more appreciative
54:55
Speaker 1: of the compliment, I guess. And we just see Sanji
55:00
Speaker 1: walking out into the fog and then we go briefly
55:06
Speaker 1: over to brock Collie Island, which I am so sorry,
55:11
Speaker 1: but that is really funny. It's very funny, kids. I
55:15
Speaker 1: really like it, especially considering he has no problem naming
55:18
Speaker 1: other islands directly after food. But it like being brock Alie, Like,
55:29
Speaker 1: come on, brock brock Collie, I mean, honestly. And this
55:34
Speaker 1: is when we see Oh, I'm sorry, Sarah, I'm in
55:37
Speaker 1: the chest, says Germa double six. Okay, thank you. I
55:42
Speaker 1: was certainly not remembering that Germa double six is at
55:50
Speaker 1: Broccoli Island. Not entirely sure what war is being fought here,
55:57
Speaker 1: because earlier we were seeing all of these that supply supplies.
56:03
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you know, they provide ingredients for the
56:07
Speaker 1: things that big Mom wants. I would imagine broccoli is
56:11
Speaker 1: certainly not at the top of her list. This is
56:14
Speaker 1: a woman who isn't interested in vegetables, for sure. So
56:19
Speaker 1: why is Jeremy sixty six here of all places? And
56:26
Speaker 1: they come in and they get a briefing from this
56:30
Speaker 1: man who's in charge, and I'm trying to find let's see,
56:35
Speaker 1: he's just labeled Commander A nietzschi and Ichigi. He says,
56:43
Speaker 1: I take it you have the money ready, and the
56:47
Speaker 1: commander is like, yeah, we do, and then they both
56:49
Speaker 1: are like okay, well stand back and watch, and they
56:54
Speaker 1: wind up just like annihilating the people on this island.
57:00
Speaker 1: Later on, we see this moment where a man who
57:03
Speaker 1: has a real bone to pick with them because they
57:05
Speaker 1: apparently killed his wife and child or something. He confronts
57:09
Speaker 1: them and has this whole plan to take revenge, and
57:15
Speaker 1: he winds up being It's a weird thing because one
57:21
Speaker 1: of them says Wall, and their henchmen just jumps in
57:27
Speaker 1: front of him. I had thought when they said Wall
57:30
Speaker 1: that this was going to be like a devil fruit ability,
57:33
Speaker 1: but it appears that it's just actually pulling somebody in
57:38
Speaker 1: front of him as a human shield, which I don't
57:41
Speaker 1: really know how that works. But damn the guy who
57:44
Speaker 1: gets shot, it doesn't seem like he's happy about it.
57:49
Speaker 1: And not to say that anybody would be, but if
57:51
Speaker 1: these people were doing a sort of secret service kind
57:54
Speaker 1: of I'm throwing myself in the way of the bullet
57:57
Speaker 1: to save your life because that's my job and it's
58:00
Speaker 1: my biggest priority, I feel like there'd be a different
58:03
Speaker 1: expression on his face. This guy, to me, is really giving,
58:08
Speaker 1: like shocked and appalled, and so there's a sense for
58:12
Speaker 1: me of like this isn't voluntary, but I don't know,
58:15
Speaker 1: I might just be misreading his expression. And of course
58:21
Speaker 1: then we get him just brutally shooting this guy who
58:25
Speaker 1: already lost his family, and it's really sad. Guys. It
58:31
Speaker 1: was like a, oh, I don't know what's going on here.
58:33
Speaker 1: You know, I don't have the context for it, but
58:37
Speaker 1: I just felt like ugh. And as they're leaving, the
58:47
Speaker 1: commander watches them go and says, they saved our island.
58:52
Speaker 1: They may call them demons, but they're wrong. To us.
58:56
Speaker 1: These are angels. And I am not understanding what's happening here.
59:06
Speaker 1: I don't understand who these They seem like an occupying force.
59:11
Speaker 1: So how is it that this is When he says
59:15
Speaker 1: they saved our island, it feels like it's not, but
59:21
Speaker 1: the emotion behind it does kind of hit like somebody
59:25
Speaker 1: who is a native and who lives here. So I
59:29
Speaker 1: don't know. And then the two of them from the
59:35
Speaker 1: double six er, they're standing on this rooftop and talking
59:40
Speaker 1: on a transponder snail about how long they how long
59:44
Speaker 1: the trip is to hold cake island and if they're
59:46
Speaker 1: going to be able to get there in time for
59:48
Speaker 1: the wedding, And one of them says that he's looking
59:51
Speaker 1: forward to seeing Sangi, and the other is just like,
59:54
Speaker 1: are you fucking high? What are you talking about? So
59:59
Speaker 1: Sarah says, I took it as two factions fighting over
1:00:02
Speaker 1: the same island. I agree. It's just confusing because like
1:00:07
Speaker 1: the commander, he's in uniform, and I was assuming that
1:00:12
Speaker 1: he was with the the Marines. So German Double six
1:00:20
Speaker 1: is supposed to butt up against the Marines like they're
1:00:22
Speaker 1: meant to be enemies, at least in the comic strip.
1:00:25
Speaker 1: So I was expecting those guys to be these dude's enemy,
1:00:31
Speaker 1: and instead it seems like these guys are somehow like
1:00:36
Speaker 1: independents who I suppose paid Germa Double six to show up.
1:00:43
Speaker 1: And he's crying and talking about how he how much
1:00:51
Speaker 1: they owe these people for saving him or saving them.
1:00:54
Speaker 1: But it's also like, well, you apparently paid them to
1:00:57
Speaker 1: do the job and they just did the job, So
1:00:59
Speaker 1: I don't know why are so emotional. So it's just
1:01:06
Speaker 1: I was there was just a lot about different details
1:01:10
Speaker 1: that felt like they didn't really go together, and I
1:01:12
Speaker 1: wasn't sure what to make of it. But anyway, I'm
1:01:16
Speaker 1: running out of time here, so I'm just gonna wrap
1:01:18
Speaker 1: up with the part where our friends are back on
1:01:20
Speaker 1: the ocean on the ship, and you know there's that
1:01:23
Speaker 1: point where there's the purple ocean water. Sorry, if you
1:01:29
Speaker 1: guys can hear my cat, I don't know why she's
1:01:30
Speaker 1: so upset all of a sudden, And eventually they get
1:01:35
Speaker 1: attacked by a sea centipede I think is what they're called.
1:01:40
Speaker 1: These things are hilarious looking. I don't know what's going
1:01:45
Speaker 1: on with them, but they have like perfectly round eyes
1:01:47
Speaker 1: and it just looks like somebody took a like a
1:01:52
Speaker 1: sea creature and just stuck googly eyes that you get
1:01:55
Speaker 1: at a craft store on these things. They are very
1:02:01
Speaker 1: funny and it's a whole like oh yes, yes, yes,
1:02:07
Speaker 1: Florian says. Also, Peckham's is gone, thank you. I completely
1:02:10
Speaker 1: forgot about that. He vanishes on them, and I think
1:02:15
Speaker 1: that it's supposed to be he bounced once they were
1:02:19
Speaker 1: picked up by Pudding, like once they got into town.
1:02:21
Speaker 1: That he's been gone since that moment, which he has
1:02:26
Speaker 1: been very like pro big mom. When they're first pulling
1:02:30
Speaker 1: up to the island. He's talking to Nami about how
1:02:33
Speaker 1: this is Big Mom's vision for everybody to coexist peacefully,
1:02:39
Speaker 1: and you know, it certainly sounds nice and it seems
1:02:43
Speaker 1: like he believes her, but that is clearly not actually
1:02:46
Speaker 1: what's going on here. So I'm wondering what she's done
1:02:49
Speaker 1: to gain his trust in this regard. And yeah, so anyway,
1:02:57
Speaker 1: the whole thing, like with this this sea centipede, it's
1:03:01
Speaker 1: very funny because the whole crew is like kind of
1:03:06
Speaker 1: gearing up to fight it, and then it seems like
1:03:10
Speaker 1: Loofy just manages to take it out by himself and
1:03:13
Speaker 1: they're all standing there like, oh, really, we don't have
1:03:17
Speaker 1: to do anything. I was kind of looking forward to something,
1:03:21
Speaker 1: and it looks like there's a second one or the
1:03:26
Speaker 1: first one just wound up being not as hurt as
1:03:29
Speaker 1: it seemed to be. But either way, they're facing a
1:03:33
Speaker 1: little bit more of an obstacle here than they at
1:03:36
Speaker 1: first thought. You know, it's still I'm not worried about them, obviously,
1:03:42
Speaker 1: but uh, yeah, these creatures are very funny looking. I
1:03:44
Speaker 1: just have to mention that because my god, I don't know,
1:03:48
Speaker 1: it feels almost like whoever designed them the day they
1:03:52
Speaker 1: were asked to do it, they were just sort of like, ah,
1:03:55
Speaker 1: I don't know when he collapses, it's too big. Our
1:04:01
Speaker 1: attacks don't do a thing, not with that thick shell.
1:04:05
Speaker 1: All right, everyone aim at the belly at once, and
1:04:10
Speaker 1: fucking Carrot gets a crazy expression on her face when
1:04:14
Speaker 1: she is ready to attack this thing. She looks bad
1:04:18
Speaker 1: nanas for a second, y'all, Oh my god, let's see.
1:04:22
Speaker 1: Lufy jumps up and does jet stamp, which I don't
1:04:26
Speaker 1: remember seeing this before. We probably have, but I'm just
1:04:28
Speaker 1: it's not ringing a bell. And he gets it right
1:04:32
Speaker 1: in the head and the whole thing just like cracks
1:04:35
Speaker 1: and falls apart. It's pretty, uh, kind of an awful
1:04:38
Speaker 1: way to die, to be honest, and let's see, okay,
1:04:45
Speaker 1: And then the episode ends with Big Mama's like rampage
1:04:48
Speaker 1: because she's craving crogambush. So all right, I'm gonna wrap
1:04:52
Speaker 1: this up. Thank you guys again so much for hanging
1:04:54
Speaker 1: out with me. I'm having a lot of fun. Thank
1:04:56
Speaker 1: you Florian for commissioning this one. And until next time
1:05:00
Speaker 1: to loom motherfuckers. That was an unspoiled network. Pat
