  Speaker 1: This is an unspoiled network podcast. This is spoil Me,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes eight seventeen and eight eighteen, Moist Cigarette,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the Night before Sonji's wedding, and the Undaunted soul Brook
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: versus Big Mom. In these episodes, we find out pudding
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: is evil and I couldn't be more delighted. This is
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: even better. Sorry, Sonji, I was rooting for you, guys,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: but honestly, welcome to spoil Me. Welcome to the show everyone.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I am Natasha. Thank you very much to Florian for
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: commissioning today's episode. I had to stop at two, and
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: it was difficult. I actually like went to the spreadsheet
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and was like, please let me be able to watch three.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Please let me. No, no, it was only two, because
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you guys are cruel and mean. I you guys, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: swear the way that this goes is so funny, because
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: like I was refusing to believe it for a minute.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And I'll explain like what I was thinking as we
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: go through the episode. So the first first, I just
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: want to mention too, like moist Cigarette, what an odd
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: choice to this episode that it just feels like, you know,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it's just it feels very symbolic and metaphorical, and this
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: show isn't known for titling things in that way. It's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: usually extremely literal the titles, and like you could say
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: this is very literal because the cigarette is moisten isn't
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: lighting as he's trying to light it, but like that's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: not the point of the episode. On the other hand,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I do appreciate that it's like it's not titled pudding
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: is bad after all the night before Sanji's wedding, because
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: it has been known to sort of say things like that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So we start off this episode with sanjy well no sorry,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: we keep checking in with Lufy and Nami, and by
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the second episode this winds up like paying off a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: little bit more. But in this first of the two episodes,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: it's really just to like watch Loufy struggling to yank
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: his own hands off and Nami crying and telling him
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to stop it, and Lufy telling her that he is
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: going to do whatever he needs to do. And you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I should have realized that the urgency of Lufy attempting
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to do this really ticked up after putting nelt and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: spoke to him, but I didn't. I wasn't putting that
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: together at all. I'm really curious if you guys in
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the audience here on my life, if you were still
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: suspicious of putting it this time, because you know that
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I was suspicious of her up until, like honestly, I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: was suspicious of her up until Soanjy talked to her
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: one on one. There was still a bit of me
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that sort of wondered about like them coming to the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Seducing Woods and how that seemed like a setup, but
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I was not sure, and like I got to appointment,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: was finally like, Okay, I think I'm gonna let it go.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And I am just curious if there are other people
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: who were like still even at this point, going uh no,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I like this bitch. And I also am curious if
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you guys put together that. When she stoops and speaks
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: in Lufy's ear, that's when he starts to kind of
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: like freak out a little bit more because I wasn't
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: clocking that at all. So we cut from Lufy panicking
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to Sangi and he's looking down in concern at this
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: like plate that he has prepared. It's this beautiful bento
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: with like six different entrees like all tucked in there
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, I think I made too much.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know what came over me, but you know, maybe,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and then he has a little like daydream about her
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: saying that there's too much food here and she wants
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to share it with him, open up, you know, and
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: her feeding him, And I honestly should have realized here
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: when he's fantasizing about feeding her and her being cute
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and sweet to him. A lot of the time this
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: show explicitly will choose to show us the day dream
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of somebody because the show isn't going to do that,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and so it wants us to like feel the same
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: disappointment as the character who like really had their hopes up.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And there are definitely exceptions to that. When we were
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: with oh my god, guys, I've forgotten his name, what's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: my favorite green haired boy who was such a fanboy,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: he we had the daydreams of what he was hoping
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: for so that we could see when he gets exactly that,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: like lufy hearing him on why it's touching him so
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: deeply because it's like his fondest fantasy that this would
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: even happen. Bartola Mayo, thank you. So with him, the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: joke is different. The joke is he gets exactly what
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: he wants, which he never expected. And this I should
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: have seen that, like the fact that he's thinking this way,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it's a clue. But again I was not. I was
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: not thinking this way. So he has this little, you know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: moment where he hugs himself and there are all these
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: hearts pouring out and you just get to see him
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: for a second be happy, just you know, choosing to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: engage with the one thing that he thinks is good
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: in his life. And then he walks down the hall.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: He has to pass that eggplant man who actually, like
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't see this last time if he had it,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: but he's physically holding an eggplant and handing it to
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Sanjy trying to get him to take it. I don't
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: know how big eggplant got to you, dude, but you
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: are going to need to lower your profile if you
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: don't want your spot blown up, because this is not
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the way to convert people to your ideology. I don't
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: know what's going on with you in eggplants. It's none
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of my business, you know, consenting adult whatever. But I'm
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: just this is you are pushing too hard. It is
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: too much. You are going to need to back off
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and reconsider your approach. That's all I'm saying. So then
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: he goes down the hall and he tries to get
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: into Pudding's room and her door is alive and very
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: much giving, like fat Lady at Hogwarts, where she's just
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: you know. He keeps insisting, like, can I come in?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And she doesn't say Pudding isn't here, which is what
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I kind of I thought she was gonna say, but
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: instead she wants her and she says, pray vuh see, okay,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: leave her alone, and she is like At one point,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: he just sort of is like, well, let me leave
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: this stuff and I can give it to her, and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: she just won't even like engage with that at all.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So he walks away and I again, let me take
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: a sip of my drink here. I should have realized
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: at the way that she is watching him that something
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: is up, so he's trying to think of another way
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to get to her. And this is one of those
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: things where I understand that it's supposed to be cute
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: that he wants to see her so bad, but she
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: explicitly apparently is asking for privacy, and you're just not
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: respecting that which is kind of fucked up. And the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: way that he tells himself that it's fine is like, oh, well,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: she's gonna think I'm peeping, but we're getting married tomorrow anyway,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: so I'll get to see as much as I want
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: all the time, so a little look won't harm anything.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And I'm just like, oh, that is so not the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: fucking oh my god, dude. However, he goes like out
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the door around her balcony and he looks in through
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: her window and she is standing with an eye open
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: in the center of her forehead, gloating to his sister,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: who is bound and bleeding. So this is putting is
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the person who found her in the hallway, And we
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: still I don't know if it was Putting that hurt her.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: It doesn't appear that, based on Pudding's reaction when she
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: found her, I do not think that she's the one
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: who actually hurt his sister. Still kind of unclear to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: me why she's been injured, so you know, I'm sure
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: we'll find this out later. And Pudding is saying, as
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: if I would marry that low class pirate, you must
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: be out of your frigging mind. No way in hell
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: she gets to go a little harder with her language here.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: It's it's the no frigging way, which is definitely like,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you know, it's allowed, but it's not something that comes
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: up very much. And then later on she's talking about
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: like him lamenting that he's gonna have to leave the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: straw hats, and she says, as if I give a shit,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And every time they say shit on this show, I'm
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: always shocked, even though I know what's happened before. So
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: he's watching her, and I'll tell you what, kids, I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: was so sure that this wasn't really putting. For like
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say about ten seconds, fifteen seconds, which is
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: like a fairly long time if you actually counted out.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: As you're watching this moment, I really thought, is his
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: sister somehow projecting some kind of illusion? Can she like
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: make a double of pudding that's really convincing, but like
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: not quite on? And you know the third, I think
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: there was never anything about her design that hinted that
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: she was hiding something under her hair, Like Pedro, his
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: hair covers one eye all the time, and it's at first,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I just fully it as like a style choice, which
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: would have been fine, but then you know, we get
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the reveal that he's actually missing his eye and with putting.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just that her bangs have
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: always fallen so fully over her forehead that there was
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: no way to see, but I don't. I think she's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: got like kind of that side sweat bang. So I really,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I really thought that somebody was attempting to fuck with
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Sanchi for some reason, or attempting to get under his
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: skin and try and ruin the wedding and cause him
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to walk back his decision to go along with everything
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: quietly and his sister sitting there, even though I had
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: seen that she was injured last episode, the way that
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: she seated, you can't really see that she's being held,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's like it takes a
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: little while for the positioning of the camera, so to speak,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: to turn in such a way that you actually see
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: she's bound. She's still bleeding. You know, there's been like
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: no care administered or anything. So I'm sorry. Bernadette's talking
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: about her first crush from Dragonball, who has three eyes
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Chin Shinhan? Is that how I say? Look, I'm not
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: mad at a three eye thing. Honestly, it's not so bad.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: But it was the thing that made me feel like,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: this can't be putting. How would she have hidden that
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: it didn't feel like she was. And then as she
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: keeps talking, and she says, I think explicitly nobody in
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: my family knows my true nature something like that, and
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: it's honestly, let's see. Oh yeah, she says to his sister,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: you honestly cannot be that naive, which I do enjoy
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: that line coming from her when that has been the
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: way she's portrayed, you know, and she's just playing a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: role that she has such disdain for, and she has
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: done it quite convincingly. I am not going to lie,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know. And she says, I'm one of
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Mama's favorites, especially because of my acting. In fact, she
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: cares for me so much it's almost overbearing. Fool some
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: stupid man from time to time, and the old bag
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: is happy. And it was almost too easy tricking the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: straw hats. Only my closest family knows what my true
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: nature really is. That's what it is, Okay. So at
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: this point, obviously I'm finally like, oh my god, this
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: is pudding. But I really he was hanging on there
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: for a second, guys, because there are so many abilities
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: in this world that can create an illusion or a
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: double of somebody, or force a person to kind of
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: act in a weird way that isn't true to their character,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: you know. So I was just like hanging on for
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a minute and finding out that this is it's not
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: only that she's faking, but that she is repeatedly faking.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: So evidently this is something that they do all the time,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and it's like a red wedding situation where I get
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: you in here, we get married, and the instant it's done,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: we kill your whole family so that we can do
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: whatever we want with what's left. Which it's kind of
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: crazy if this has been done before, that word hasn't
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: got out that Big Mom does things like this, because
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming that the people she does it with are
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the ones who have some serious power and standing because
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: they've got something she wants. Otherwise she wouldn't bother. And
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: one could say, well, she kills everybody who's not on
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: her side, But like anybody who knows that this wedding
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: is going to take place that isn't in her vicinity,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: if that family suddenly vanishes, I would expect someone to
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: notice that this is like a weird you know that
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: everybody's gone, So I don't know how this has been
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: pulled off if it's just accepted that, like if she
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: kills all of the people on their side, nobody else
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: knew about the marriage or everybody who did is there,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, but either way it
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. This is like a full on scam
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: that they are pulling together. And it's very funny to
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: see the difference between Pudding and Lola. And Lola straight up,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not marrying anybody that I don't get to choose,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and Putting is like, oh, I'll marry everybody. I'll marry anybody,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: go ahead. I just want to fuck with them for
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: a bit. I just really like the power trip of
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: knowing that they're like in love with me before I
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: rip their heart out, which I'm very here for. For
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the record, this is super fun. I was loving Putting
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: as even a slightly more boring character, just because it
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: felt like she was still acting on her own. You know,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: she was still even inasmuch as she's being told who
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: to marry and whatnot. There was a sense of agency
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: with her going to the straw hats multiple times and
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: deciding to do her thing, and so I was still
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: happy with her, but this is just so much more fun.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, and I know, I know that,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: like it sucks for soany Granted, he's sitting out there,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: literally in the rain, after having had these like beautiful
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: day dreams of what it was going to be like
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: basically crying. He doesn't cry. I mean, how could you
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: tell tears in the rain? Am I right? Sorry? Guys,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I have to drink my caffeine because if I don't,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I will get a headache, and I have it sitting
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: here and it's getting cold. So I do hate watching
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Sonji go through this realization, especially knowing that the whole
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: way that he was able to come to terms with
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the direction his life has gone was by telling himself,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: at least I will have a wife who loves me
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and I can make the best of it. And now
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: it's not even that she's a monster who doesn't love
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: me and thinks I'm an idiot. It's that she plans
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to murder him and everybody. And as this is happening, well,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, okay, so what's going on with the third
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: eye though, you know, like I'm watching putting and I'm
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out what her ability is, and I
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: still don't really know like the third eye specifically how
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: it plays into things. And I'm guessing that it's something
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: to do with like the seeing of people's memories somehow,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: but you don't find that out for a little bit,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and so I was left very much in suspense now
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: realizing that like something's going on with her, that we
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: have a different thing. I was expecting when she says
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: the like the moment that we're married, I'm going to
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: fill him full of holes. I thought that it was
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: going to be that she could shoot lasers out of
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: her eyes or something, you know, that it would be
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: like very But she pulls out a gun and she
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: describes the gun by name and shows these like jacketed rounds,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: and evidently the whole Germa six family is they have
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: that like really tough skin that's been genetically enhanced, and
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: so a normal bullet wouldn't go through them. Is that true, guys?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: A bullet wouldn't go through them? Because like I maybe
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: maybe there's like an explanation for this, or maybe it's
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: just you know, perhaps Oda hadn't thought this far ahead
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: yet or I don't know, but like, there is a
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: point before we've really met his family, in the very
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: very beginning of our introduction to this area, when we
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: have the germistis boys on different islands and a guy
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: is about to get shot by some like townsperson and
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: then says wall and one of the other soldier steps
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: in front of him and takes the bullet for him.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: But why bother, if you are bulletproof, and if you're bulletproof,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and you're genetically making all these different soldiers, why would
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: you make all of them bulletproof? Unless that guy was
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: just happens to be just like a regular dude. Because
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I know that they've got a mix of like plain
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: old humans I guess probably in there with the genetically
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: engineered dudes. I just don't under like I know that
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: storytelling whise the point is for us to see how
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: dedicated their soldiers are that they would do that for
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: them with no question, no seeming hesitation, nothing. But now
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: that I know that they're all bulletproof, I'm just sort
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: of like, well, why would you even I would think
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: that you would want to sort of show off the
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: fact here that the bullets bounce off them, So I
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: don't know, but uh, it's evidently, like Pudding says, that
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: you would need like a special weapon to actually get
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: through their skin, which again, like that townsperson wouldn't have had.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: So it's just sort of why. But the thing that
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I was a little confused by at this point is
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: why is she telling his sister all of this, like
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: you didn't have to, You brought her to your room
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and sat her down and then just spilled the beans.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Why would you do it? And eventually we get the answer,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: ooh sorry, Seraphim says one of the augments, Judge gave
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: his kids with bulletproof skin. I'm guessing it's just not
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: worth the effort to do that kind of augmentation on
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the grunts. They can just mass produce. Renaette says, grunts
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: you mean storm troopers and Seraphim as to why to
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: sacrifice a grunt because they're assholes who don't value No, no, no,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, why not just let the why guard yourself
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: at all from something that won't hurt you. If you're
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: bulletproof and the guy tries to shoot you, just takes
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: a bullet because it's not gonna hurt, Like, it's not
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: gonna do anything, you know, And I think that the
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: answer is likely, well, he didn't want a hole in
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: his suit or something, and yes, that was worth a
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: guy's life, you know, maybe, But anyway, So it turns
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: out that what Pudding can do is reach into your
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: mind and pull out memories like they're a film strip.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: And not only can she like remove them, she can
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: cut together edited versions to make anything seem real in
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: your memory, which is easily the most terrifying of all
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: of the abilities we have ever seen with any of
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the devil Fruits. In my opinion, it's even more frightening
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: to me than Big Mom's power. Her power is incredibly ope,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, So I understand my feelings on
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: this ability are not going to be shared by a
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: lot of people. Necessary. There are certainly things you could
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: argue that are more powerful, but I think it's way
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: more frightening to have an ability that can change who
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: somebody is from the inside by manipulating their mind and
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: them not even knowing that you've done that. And that's
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: what Our memories of our previous experiences are all lessons
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: that inform our future behavior. And the way that we
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: adapt and react, And so if somebody else has control
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: over any of those, then they have control ultimately over
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: us and what we do, and can manipulate things in
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: our past to push us in a different direction. And
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: to me, being able to yank somebody's life force out
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: while in intimidating and frightening isn't as unnerving as memory manipulation,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: because when that's done to you, you know it's happening,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: You're aware what's going on. It's not a sly, sneaky power.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: It is a very overt obvious power, and it's awful, sure,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: but this is something that you wouldn't know was done
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: to you. That's the point. And what's so difficult about
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: this is if you find out there is somebody on
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: your team or in your vicinity who can do this,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: if you have ever been in a position where you
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: were alone with them, you can start to doubt your
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: own memories and begin to wonder if you even did
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: that happen or not, was this real or not? And
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: it's not necessarily that they even changed anything. It's inserting
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: this kernel of self doubt that will poison everything you
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: do and everything you believe and all of your trust
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: in people, it will all be tainted by this, like
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: wondering which is going to just eat away at you.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: You know, this is just the scariest thing by far
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: that we have seen on this show, no contest, even
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: like I feel like Morio was one that really made
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: an impression on me, being able to basically yank people's
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: like souls out with their shadow once again fucked up totally,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: and he can like make the shadows do stuff. And yes,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: but this is getting at who you are as a
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: person and fundamentally changing your identity and maybe getting you
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: to do things you don't want to do or wouldn't
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: want to do. That if you recover your real memories,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: you'll have to live with forever. And I just can't
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: imagine anything like the fact that she can snip parts
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: out and edit in. She says something about like, oh,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: I have this memory from one of the chess pieces
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: from being shot. I think it's like one of those soldiers,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: and she just inserts that instead. So she's got like
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a friggin catalog of other options that she can cut
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: into a blank space instead so that it doesn't remain blank,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and maybe it doesn't make a lot of sense if
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: you really stop and think about it. But a lot
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: of us don't. We don't often like sit and go
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: through in our memory every event from moment to moment.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: We remember flashes, we remember surges of emotion and response
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: to things. We remember a particularly cutting thing somebody said,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: or something really embarrassing that we did. We remember bits
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: and pieces, and so it would be very easy to
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: overlook something that's patched that doesn't quite fit unless you
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: are asked to get into detail about it, and then
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: maybe you might notice. And honestly, I just I don't
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: know what you can do to undo this. That's the
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: big question for me, is like how do you fight
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: a power like this? I will say that there seems
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: to be one weakness to it right off the bat,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: and that is it takes her a minute to find
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the memory that she wants. She's got her fingers up
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: in this girl's brain for like a little while, and
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: it takes a second, and she actually has to tell
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: her like, relax, this won't take long. But it's not
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: like she can just reach in there and pluck it
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: out in a milliseconds. She's got to like kind of
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: shuffle around like she's rooting through a desk in the dark.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: You know, that helps to know that it takes a
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: minute that maybe you can get away. But I don't
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: know if she's already got her fingers in you, if
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: it's possible to move or not. His sister isn't a
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: good example to go buy for that, because she's you know,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: fixated in place because they have her prisoner. So I
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: don't know if if you were actually free to move about,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: would you be able to like just duck away from
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: her hand, or if the moment she actually makes contact
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: you kind of freeze up. This is reminding me very
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: much of like a villain in the Dresden Files. I
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: think he's in the second No, he's in the third book.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: He's in the third book, and he is a basically
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: like mind Raper. And there is a point where Harry
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: comes in and spots his friend, and there is a
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: double of himself standing behind her, because that's how this
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: being tricked its way in, And he has both his
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: like fingers on either side of her head like sunk
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: into her skull, and she is just staring, open mouthed
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: in this like scream, but it's very clear she can't
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: move and she as he is going through her memories,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: she is experiencing them in real time and in this
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: exaggerated way where he's really like forcing even more fear
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: into it and everything. And that is something where if
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: he gets anywhere near you, it's over. Like you you
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: can't move. You can't because you are so immobilized by
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: the fear and shock and disorientate. So I hope that
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: you can just like duck and dive and get away
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: from her, but I don't know if that's possible. And
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: then when it comes to restoring the memories, this is
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: the thing that I'm really curious about, because like her
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: having this one other memory that she's able to use
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: instead that she's got locked and loaded and ready to go,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: means that she's hanging onto memories. It's not like she
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: just like takes them out and drops them into a
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: friggin' shredder or something so that they are unusable or
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: that you can't like find them again. She keeps them
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: filed somehow. But how would somebody who doesn't have her
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: ability be able to restore that to the person it
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: was stolen from? Can you just like drop it on
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: their head and melts into their head? Like morning dew
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: on a flower, you know, like how exactly if that's it,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not mad at it, that would be fine. It's
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: just sort of the most basic way I can imagine
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: that working. And if that is what happens, I know
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: that I'm getting into like maybe getting too literal with this.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: But then what happens to that fake memory that got implanted?
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: If you put a real one back in, there's a
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: fake thing that's been displiced. So does the fake one
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: come back out again? Or is it just gone forever?
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Like if she uses your memory to cut together for
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: somebody else's, you know, fake memory, and that is just
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: is replaced with the real one again, are you just
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: sit out of luck? Is your own real memory gone?
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I am just I have so many questions about how
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: all this would work, and I am also curious what
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: else she can do. I don't know that she can
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: do anything else. But so often with devil fruit powers,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: there is like one main main power, and then there
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: are like sometimes one or two sort of almost I
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: want to call them, like side effects results of that
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: power that allow them to do another thing. I'm gonna say,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I hope not. I hope that this is it because
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: this is already terrifying, genuinely, like really scary. I can't
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: imagine her having like another ability at her disposal. She's
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: already got the fact that she can fucking act her
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: ass off, which kudos, because she really had me fooled. Finally,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: she really like everything that I was suspecting her. All
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: of the reasons I felt suspicious were circumstantial. None of
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: it was due to her behavior, you know, none of
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: it was like she had a tell or give away
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: of any kind. It was purely she's related to Big
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Mom and therefore is probably bad, and because Sangi is
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: related to his garbage family but is a good dude.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I was exceedingly willing to give her the benefit of
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: the doubt because you know, broad brushes and all that.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Here we are, okay, So she does this to cover
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: up this memory. It's kind of funny because you know,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: before I was saying, why would she tell her all this?
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: And then we find out that she can change your
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: memory so that she doesn't even remember all of it,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: and like that explains why she's not worried, But it
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't really explain why she is telling his sister at all.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: All I can think is that it's just pure I
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: want to gloat to somebody and I want to feel superior,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: because this is what she also did with Lufy. She
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: didn't have to tell Lufy that, like, I've got Sanjy
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: right where I want him, and he fell for my
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: whole stick. What an idiot. She could have just shut
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: the fuck up until the wedding night and her wedding day,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I should say, but she can't resist, she can't seem
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: like it just really feels like she is so pleased
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: with herself, and that's all it's about is purely ego,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: and that is extremely weak sauce in terms of behavior,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: not in terms of writing. I want to be clear
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: because there are a lot of people who are motivated
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: by pure ego, and I won't lie sometimes that is me.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I also am this way, but like she is, so
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: I have to imagine that maybe this is part of
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: it for her, is that knowing she can change people's memories.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: It's like she kind of gets off on the fact
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: that she can tell them the whole plan and then
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: remove it, and so as their family gets like annihilated,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: she can be like, and I told you that this
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: was gonna happen, but you don't even remember, you fucking simp.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: You know. Sorry, I'm just looking at the uh. Bernadette says,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I'd love me some good villain monologue. Pumpkin's power is great.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Pumpkin, Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Pumpkin.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: She called pumpkin and like the dub or the if,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: she's named pumpkin, guys, and I didn't know that that
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: was like an alternate name. Oh, it's a typo okay
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: because it says pumpkin twice. There are two different comments
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: where it said that. So I didn't realize that was
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: a typo okay. If her name was Pumpkin, I was
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: going to be very delighted because I really love that.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: But fair okay. Saraphim says it's scary. It's just at
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: least limited in what she can do. By needing access
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: to them in time to do the editing. It doesn't
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: stop her from getting her face punched, and if she
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: isn't very careful about it. Bernadette says, it's not a
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: battlefield power, but pulling the strings in the background power,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: and those are always scariest. Exactly she had you fooled.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: It was great, Saraphim says, would you wouldn't you want
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: to give a good gloat after having to keep up
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: the act of being naive, a naive little waif all
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: the time. Saraphim, I have said so many times that
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: I would never be able to go undercover as somebody
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: who was like weaker or stupider than I am, because
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: my ego wouldn't let me. I would be giving it
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: up like that. I would be absolutely blowing my cover.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: The instant that somebody like tried to talk down to
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: me or assumed I didn't know things or whatever, it
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: would be over because I would be so irritated that
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able to resist just snapping at them.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: So like when you said, when you want a good gloat,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't even be a gloat because I know I
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: would ruin the plan. I wouldn't even be able to
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: get to the end. It only really counts as gloating
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: if you've like either almost succeeded and it's just on
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: its way, or you have already succeeded and I wouldn't
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: even get that far. I'll be very very real with you, guys.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I couldn't take it, And this is not to say
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: that I can't stand feeling stupid without being a bit
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: about it. Like I feel stupid all the time, depending
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: on the topic. But it's when I if I were
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: asked to pretend to be less than and people believed
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: it and treated me in a certain way, it would
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: just make me blood boil. I wouldn't be able to
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: do it. So yeah, like I can see how this
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: would be the one way that she's able to let
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: off steam, because it's like even having I'm sorry, Bernadette
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: says typo about Pumpkin. It's late and I have gored
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: on the brain, which feels very dirty, Bernadette. That feels
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: like a euphemism for sure, But I'm just gonna let
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: it go. But it's not even like putting could weight
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: and gloat after they begin to attack, because I'm assuming
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: the plan is to kill everybody so quick that you
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: almost don't realize it's happening until it's over. You know,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: there's no time for a good glow in the midst
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: of that. You kind of have to do it the
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: night before. That makes sense, and all things considered, guys,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: this these two episodes, I fully understand why I'm only
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: watching two episodes, like, I'm only talking about putting so far,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: and I'm already of forty five minutes. So this is
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: not a criticism of the breakdown, But honestly, a big
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: chunk of these two episodes is just putting making fun
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: of Soangy imitating him, and then her little weird sycophantic
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: homies laughing at her imitation and telling her how like oh,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: that's uncanny, you sound just like him, or yeah, he's
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: a real idiot, isn't he. It's so much of these
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: two episodes is just that. And she even like take
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: like makes her face blow up to sort of look
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: like Soangie's when he took that like bandage off, And
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: that's the part, Like it's one thing to know that
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: somebody doesn't care about you, that they are involved in
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: something and they're going to betray you. It's another thing
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: for them to like mock you in this very specific
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: personal way, especially when you were being real vulnerable with
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: them in a way that you aren't usually. And so
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: it's I'm already like, ah, poor Soangie, this sucks. And
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: then when she starts to really get into it with
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: like kicking him while he's down and mocking him confiding
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: in her and everything. I was just like, that's rough, buddy,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I just hate that. Like, there was a a Colombo
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: episode that I watched not long ago, and this woman
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: comes back to her and she's like a sex therapist.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: So her office has a bed and fireplace and everything
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: in it because the point is that she sometimes will
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: leave couples in there and they will like report back
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: to her immediately after an encounter. I don't know if
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: this is a real thing that any sex therapist does,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: but this is for the episode. And she comes back
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: early and she had been sleeping with one of her
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: colleagues and catches him in there with his secretary, and
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: you really get the impression watching it. Sure, she's upset
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: that he's cheating on her, but she probably would have
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: just walked away and then wound up dumping him and
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: all that if it were only that. But she's standing
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: outside the door and she sees through the crack that
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: they're in there and stops. Sure, and they're talking, they're
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: not sleep having sex anymore, and his mistress is saying,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: if I were a dessert, what kind of dessert would
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: I be? And he says, like, you know, double chocolate
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: cherry cake or something like that. And then she says,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: and what kind of dessert would Dolores be about her?
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: And he says rice pudding, old rice pudding, And it
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: really hit for me as I was watching. I could
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: have let it go. You're just cheating, that's fucked up.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: That sucks. But to like actually be talking shit about
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: me to somebody like that, and for you to be
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: laughing over it together, I would lose my fucking mind.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I would. You know, she stages this murder and I
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: was really not even that mad at her. I was like,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: that's fine, you know, do your best. I know you're
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: gonna get caught, but like, at least he'll still be dead.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Fuck that guy. So I'm sorry, Bernadette. I meant it literally,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: I have a pumpkin in the fridge. I need to
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: figure out what to cook with. Oh that's so funny.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: So anyway, this is like a hugely long session between
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: her and there's this guy that I think is like
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: there's the homies in this are actually named, which it's
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: not like that never happens, but we've not really seen
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: it a lot. And we've got Nitro and Rabian and
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Nitro is sort of like just like a pile of
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: slime with like a fedora on. It's a weird. I
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: don't know what it was that he is like originally
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: supposed to have been, or what it is that he's
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: meant to be now. And he like smokes a cigar
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: as well, And then when Rabian drops down, I think
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: this is her her carpet that she was riding the
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: first time we said, which I had totally forgotten we
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: had like a fucking flying carpet in this show. But
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: but yeah, so I don't know what this slime dude is.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: But anyway, the episode ends with a cutback to Loofy
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: desperately trying to get out of his restraints, and then
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: we jump to the undaunted soul Brook versus Big Mom,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: and the opening of the episode is putting fucking with
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: his sister's memories, and then we go to Brooke, who
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: is facing off against Big Mom and Prometheus. And what's
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: the other thundercloud is? That? Is he thor or Zeus?
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: It's some god name. I Bernadette says fadoras are always
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: ever worn by slimes. And I am not kidding Bernadette
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: when I almost said that, like I really did. Saraphim says,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: name is just a jelly. So just a sentient pile
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: of jelly, because that's how big Mom rolls. Prometheus is
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: the sun, Zeus is the cloud. Okay, a sentient pile
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: of jelly. I guess why not? So this with Brooke,
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: it's so First of all, she says, this skeleton has guts,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: and I thought for sure Brooke doesn't even like react.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: I thought he would do something. He just like doesn't
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: make a joke. He doesn't say anything. He doesn't even
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: like smirk nothing, you know, and he you know, she
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: wants to keep him for herself because he's this unusual,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: weird creature that she's never seen before. And so it's
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: a weird situation that he's in where he has to
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: fight her and know that like she's not going to
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: be trying to kill him, she's going to be trying
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: to just take him out, keep him alive so that
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: she can hold onto him as a kind of curio.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: And Brooke is searching for an opening with his sword
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: out and he backs up and is like watching her
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: and her eyes turn red. And I wasn't sure if
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: this was supposed to be that she's activating an ability
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: or if this is just how he's seeing her. I
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: think it's just that is how he's seeing her. And
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: he does this thing where he like manages to run
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: so fast that he builds up centrifugal force and is
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: like circling them perpendicular on the wall, and then he
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: comes at them and has launched himself. I guess it's
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: supposed to be that, like, by going in a circle,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: he's built up momentum so that when he finally launches
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: himself at them, he will have more like intensity in
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: the attack. Right, it does nothing. He is midair and
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: gets electrocuted and just drops to the floor like a
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: piece of dead grass. And both of these two, Zeus
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: and Prometheus are basically like, you're not getting anywhere near
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: or it's not even gonna be a fight between like
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: you and mom. It's us and mom. She'll use us
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: and doesn't even have to get involved. And we get
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: a bunch of like Brooke getting chased by fire and
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: attempting some different you know, And then eventually he launches
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: into another one of his guitar attacks, and I just
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: want to say, again, how dope this looks. I actually
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: like took a picture of this and sent it to
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Marshall and was just like, look at how cool his
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: attack is, Babe. This is so awesome. And I'm like
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: very into it. And you see the like strands of
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: smoke from the spell I'm calling it a spell sort
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: of just circling around them, and there's a feel of like,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: oh no, you know, he is going for it. And
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: then he looks up and the sort of smoke just
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: dissipates gone, and the three of them are laughing down
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: at him, and he says, no, good huh, And Zeus
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: says that ain't gonna work, and Prometheus says, your song
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: was a flop, which is so like Zeu's just saying
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: that ain't gonna work. Fine, that's just like a battle thing,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: but saying your song is a flop ouch, that's a
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: necessary okay. Prometheus yikes with a burn on two levels.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: And poor Brook it's like he's not even trying to
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: get ready to defend himself again. He's so baffled that
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: this didn't do anything, and he just is shouldn't this
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: have like affected you guys, And they're essentially yeah, no,
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: that is not a strong enough attack at all. And
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: this is when we get another like you know, zap
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: attack on him. He is, it's strong enough that he collapses,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: and they worry for a moment that maybe they went
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: too hard because the whole thing is supposed to be
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: don't kill him, Mama wants him. And once he's down
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: and they realize, like they keep saying, I'll be the
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: one who delivers the final blow, and I'm like, you
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: just were hoping that he wasn't actually dead. Why are you?
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: You know? But they argue for a minute over who's
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: going to get to do it, which gives Brooke just
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: enough time to uh, he's like ready to defend himself.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: He gets his what do you call it? Sword cane
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: I guess, and he's ready to lift it, and then
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this huge fucking sword comes down.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: And it was unclear to me exactly what was going
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: on here because she says, that's enough bickering out of you, tube,
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: break it up. And as she says that, she pulls
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Zeus and Prometheus away from each other, and then all
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, I think this is her hat? Does
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: the blade come out of her hat? Guys? It looks
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: like her hat, but it falls on him and it's
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: like you see pieces of something shatter, and I thought
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: it was his blade, but now that I'm watching, he's
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: got his blade. Oh, I think it was his sunglasses. Yeah, okay,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: it is her hat and she calls it uh Napoleon,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Zeus and Prometheus are yelling at her hat and saying
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: that's cheating. You can't cut in like that. So apparently
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: the hat is also sentient, but we don't actually see
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, we don't see a face on it,
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: but it's got like a jolly Roger on it with
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: a uh you know, so I guess that's its face,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: but it's just not what I'm used to seeing because
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: they are more three dimensional usually. And this is when
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Big Mom is just like, dude, I get it. You
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: tried your best, and you know, good for you, but
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: it's really just time to wrap it up and give up.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: And we have just a moment of her and Brooke
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: kind of going back and forth where he's explaining I
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: know who Sonjy is, and I know that he would
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: sacrifice himself rather than have his friends be in danger,
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: and that when he makes his mind up to do that,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: there's no stopping him. But I am going to do
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: what I can do while I am here, and the
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: pony glyph is my goal, and at least he could
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: know that maybe his presence here allowed us to accomplish
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: something essential. I was sort of puzzled as to why
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Brooke is like telling her exactly what it is he's after.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: I assume she's like figured it out, but I just
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: felt like, just don't tell her stuff, Like you know
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I don't know. And he says like
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: worst comes to worst and I can't even remember what
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: he says, but he's like citing a couple of worst
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: case scenarios and both of them are really not all
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: that bad. And I found it very funny that the
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: next line is literally a big mom saying, I think
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: your idea of worst case scenario is rather tame. Sanji's
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: staying behind me, that's the worst outcome. Try again, has
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: it ever occurred to you that maybe everybody might die?
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: And the camera like zeros in on her eyeball as
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: it gets the like red threads through it, indicating that
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: she's really starting to lose it, and Brooke just says,
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: only a fool would include his own death as part
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: of a plan young lady. Okay, first of all, that
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: response doesn't have anything to do with what she said,
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: so that's weird. And second of all, calling her young
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: lady is a weird Like I think it's just meant
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: to sort of insult her because she's not young. But
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: it's not like she's a character who has ever shown
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: herself to be like vain or anything like that. And
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: I've never heard him call somebody young lady to insult
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: them in a petty way like this. So that whole
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: sentence and the way it's delivered is just weird because
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: it feels like he's having an entirely different conversation than
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: she is. She's telling him, you're thinking, the worst thing
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: that can happen is your friend being here, and I'm
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: telling you everybody might get murdered, and he's just like,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: who includes their own death and a plan? And I'm like,
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: what are you fucking talking about? Brooke. The whole like,
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: there's just a sense to me of disconnect there, and
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming that that has to be some kind of
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: translation issue. But yeah, so that's where it cuts away,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: and we then go to Carrot and Chopper, and it
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: turns out you can ask the mirrors where they lead.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: So at first we just have Carot like straight up
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: torturing Bruet. The torture is granted, rather tame in that
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: it is uh tickle torture, But anybody out there who
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: hates being tickled, you fucking know how hideous that can be.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: If you don't want to be tickled, or if it's
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: like really gets to you in a certain way, it
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: fucking sucks. So as much as it's not, you know,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: particularly brutal, I was also still kind of like, oh god,
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: that's that's awful. But yeah, they can like call out
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: and be like, hey, mirrors, we're going to get to
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: this one place, and they will tell you where they lead,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: and you can ask them to find somebody, but you
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: just have to know, like you have to be able
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: to tell them what the person you're looking for looks like.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: And so Carot says, I'm actually a pretty good artist,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: so leave it to me. But we don't actually get
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: to see in these episodes her like do a drawing
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. It's just purely her saying that,
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: and then we cut away again. And then the second
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: of these two episodes ends with we go back to
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: Loofy and it's not me, just like screaming at him
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: to try to stop trying to like hurt himself, and
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: the like cream Monster dude is starting to get worried
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: because like Lufi is taking things pretty far and he's
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: not sure, like should I call somebody in to deal
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: with this? What should I do? And just as he
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: is wondering that, Jim Bay comes in and beats the
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: shit out of this guy out of nowhere. I don't
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: know how this all ties together. Eventually we will find out.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: I was certain that he was okay, but the fact
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: that he's like freely able to walk around and do
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: what he wants that I didn't expect. And he also
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't really seem to be injured in any way, and
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: it may be that he is and we just don't
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: see it yet. But yeah, So it ends with him
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: ostensibly here to free Loofy and Nomy, but he hasn't
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: done that by the end of the episode, and I'm
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: not sure if that's really the plan, if he's just
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: going to free them right here, or if there has
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: to be something else that they do to get them
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: out because they're in there because of somebody's devil fruit power,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: you know, so I'm not really sure how that works.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure how Juinbig got in here. If maybe
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: he was able to rescue them because he had been
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: put into this book and then escaped himself, I don't know,
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: but it ends on him handling that shit. And I'm
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: glad because like both Loofy and cream Monster, both yell
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: at and no me to stop being a baby because
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: she keeps crying. And normally I'd be like, ouch, guys,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: but honestly, I was getting kind of sick of her
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: crying out too. So it's fine. Hopefully we don't have
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: any more of that. Saraphim says, Brook is over eighty
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: years old. Big Mom is a young lady compared to him.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: I guess he's just never said anything like that to
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: anybody before, though, so it just fell out of character.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: I don't recall that his age doesn't really come up
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: that much. It's always just about how he's a skeleton
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: and doesn't have various body parts. But uh, yeah, it
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: just felt weird. It felt weird, especially in conjunction with
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: the first part though, which especially made no sense to
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: me anyway. All right, I have to wrap this up,
• 1:00:24
