  Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes six fifty No. Six forty nine
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: through six fifty one. In these episodes, we find out
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: what the relationship is between Rebecca and the toy Soldier,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and I'm a lot more comfortable with this. Thank God, Siri,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: lean me alone. Welcome to spoil Me. Welcome to the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you very much to
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Florian for commissioning this episode. Sorry about that. Sometimes my
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: watch will hear me like activating Siri, even though I
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: have not, and it happens all the time, and sometimes
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: it is truly hilarious, you guys. One time I was
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: like leaning on my wrist. I said, like something went wrong,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and I just went ball sack and sirih is like
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: ball slack is a slang term for the like sack
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of flesh that holds the testicles under the penis. And
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I was like, thank you, Siri, thank you. It's very hopeful. Ah.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: So if you didn't know that was a slang term,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: you're welcome, thank Siri. So these episodes are a lot
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: more informative. I'm excited, guys, because it's very funny to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: me that, like after the way the toy soldier acted
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: as if he was about to tell Frankie this like
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: sad story. He isn't even the one who tells it
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to us. It turns out to be fucking Rebecca telling
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Looviy the thing, which I don't know, guys, it just
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: feels like a weird like we got sort of Oakie
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: doped a little bit, just an odd decision to make,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: But it's fine whatever. It's just funny because I really
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be this guy that told us,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you know, so this, I'm gonna I'm gonna not jump
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: right into that. I'm gonna back up a little bit
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: because due to the like some of the plot points,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I feel like going in order is going to be
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a lot better. So we have Loofy and chin Jao fighting,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and we finally get like hin Zhao explaining what happened
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to his He had this like drill kind of point
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: on his head that apparently Lufy his grandfather punched it
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: flat and it just indented again, and Lufy is eventually
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: spoilers able to punch it back out so that the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: drill is back, which leads to this guy being very
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: grateful to Loofy, but like Lufy is so I guess
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: sick of dealing with this dude, that he doesn't give
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: him the chance to fully explain why he is pursuing
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: him after the fight. So Lufy perhaps understandably is just
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: under the impression that this guy is running after him
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to keep this fight going. And I really this guy's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: story and the way that his his like drill gets
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: punched flat. I know that later on in this trio
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of episodes, we have the whole thing with poor Rebecca
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and her mother dying and her shaking her mother saying
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: please wake up, and that that's very sad and terrible.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I would simply like to state that for the record,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Hinjau waking up and not being able to find his
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: drill on his head and then bashing his head into
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the ice repeatedly is the saddest thing that has ever
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: happened on this show. This was so devastating, and it's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: like I definitely get that, it's really not you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I know that, but like there is something about the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: way that this is played and how I kind of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: was expecting that his men would like abandon him or
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: something like they would be well, you know, now he
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't even have his head drill, like he can't be
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the boss anymore, so bye bye, and that they would
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: bail on him, and instead they it seems like pretty
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: much stay by his side. And I I don't know why,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: but just this whole thing felt so much more pathetic
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and so much you guys know that, Like when Chin
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Shao wasn't part of the fight before, I was basically going, yeah,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: but where's Chin Shao? Though, Like, let's bring this guy back.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: This fight is getting boring. We're dealing with the same
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: couple people with the same types of shit talk over
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and over again. Let's get the old man in here
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: who has some shit going on, who brings some dignity
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to things. And then he started crying and I was like,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know about this, but once I heard this story,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I was like, no, he has every right to cry, absolutely,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And it's very funny when he's talking to Loofy and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: just like, don't you know what it means what your
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: grandfather did? And Lufy's just like, no, I don't know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: because all you keep doing is trying to fight me
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and you're not explaining anything. And so he says, so
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you would like to know what really happened to me,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: And there's this pause and then Lufy says, well, when
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you put it like that, no, I honestly cackled at
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: that one, y'all. I really did think that was funny,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: just the whole vibe of it, of like, oh, I mean, no,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll yell at you for not communicating the thing,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: but that's like I don't want you to communicate the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: thing either. I don't I would rather not either way,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So anyway, you know. He he tells Lufy this story,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and eventually we have like this this back and forth
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: between them where Lufy is so fed up with listening
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to this guy that he decides to pull all of
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the stops out now. At first, he does this thing
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: where he like spins Chinjau on his head like a top,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and Loofy uses his gumgum power to like wrap his
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: entire armor so he looks like a spool of thread,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and as Loofy pulls his arm back, he unspools and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: begins to spin wildly. But we finally get the ultimate
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: punch where this dude's still in the midst of like
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I've held onto my rage toward Garp for thirty years
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: and I'm finally going to be able to take it
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: out on you. And you see this like plate starting
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: on his head that's clearly meant to be the the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: oh my god, armament hockey. And as this is appearing
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: on his head, nobody seems to really be noticing that
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Lufy's entire arm is also covered in armament hockey, and like,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: maybe you need to be a little bit more concerned
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that his thing is like seven times the size of
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: yours and that the rest of your body apparently is
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: like not protected. So he gets like into position, he
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: shoots upward and is heading straight for Loofy, who does
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: elephant gun punches this man in the head. There's an
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: explosion of like lightning that I think is meant to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: be just the contact between the two of them, and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: they're hockey fighting against one another, and Chinjau clearly was
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: not expecting to be pushed back the way that he
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: starts to be, and uh, Loofy, I kind of wondered
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: for a second because he gets this expression on his
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: face and I was like, oh shit, is he about
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to like break, you know, is he about to lose?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And instead it's I think his face is reacting to
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the fact that this guy's head is changing under his
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: fist and that he can feel it happening. So this
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: guy's drill comes back and correct me if I'm wrong,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: But it looks way pointier and sharper than it even
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: used to look. And Bruh falls head first toward the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: platform in the colisseum, breaks it in half, and then
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: falls into the crack into the water, which means he
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: has won. But I'm pretty sure Chinzhau would rather have
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: gotten his head drilled back than one. Like It's clear
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: this is just tormenting this guy. And all I can
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: think about as he was telling this story was like,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: how would Lufy react if he were to lose his
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: gumgum power? Because basically, what this bro says is that
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: he gave up on being like a captain and continuing
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: to do what he used to do because he didn't
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: have his power anymore, and it like broke his heart
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: so completely. And I was sort of expecting to be
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: honest for Loofy to like talk shit about that, in
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: particular that he would say something about how like so, soh,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: you lost this one thing and you just gave up,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Like what kind of pirate is that, you know what
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, like that kind of thing. And for the record,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not mad that he doesn't have that reaction, but
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I was surprised that he doesn't really respond to that
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: at all. And if like the fact that this guy
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: later on says that he like wants to put Loofy
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: in charge of I think he's got like some crew
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: that his grandson or somebody that's related to him is
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: part of, and he like wants to hand it over
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to Loofy. There is something so delightful about that, and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I am looking forward to seeing more of Shinjau eventually
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and hopefully getting like getting to the point where Lufy
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: will actually listen to what this man has to say
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and understand that, like he's trying to be friends now,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you know, I also really want and I don't think
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: that this is necessarily something that we're going to get
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to see, but I just wanted to state for the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: record that I wouldn't mind being a fly on the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: wall when Garp finds out that Loofy undid the thing
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: that he apparently like worked to do, which is figure
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: out how to take down this guy and cave his
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: drill head in I just feel like it would be
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: kind of I don't know how upset he would be
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: about it, because Garp is sort of unpredictable for me
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit, and how he can really roll with
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the punches on some stuff, and then at other times
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like, how are you upset about this? Like I
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: don't get it, and I can't decide if he would
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: be upset or if he would be like, ah, that loofy,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But I would not mind
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: just getting to see his reaction because I think it
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: would be very funny, especially because Lufy didn't intend to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: undo it. As far as I can tell, that was
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: an accident, and I may be wrong about that, but like,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I think that he didn't. The expression on his face
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to me said that he was surprised by what was
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: happening as he punched him. So, you know, I don't know,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: but I just really am enjoying this, like this little subplot,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm sort of disappointed that by the end of
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: this Lufy is still just running away from him, because
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I was really wanting to see the results of the
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: two of them becoming buds. Now, let's see, Seraphim says,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: so from the last big quick defense of Dophy Okay
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: do Flamingo. I was like, who the main point of
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: his trap for Loofy worked. It was less about killing
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: him than taking him off the board so he couldn't
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: back up law Fair and then Sarah Francis dancin ju
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is one of the highlights of the Colisseum Fighters. It
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: wasn't so much the power itself as losing it meant
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: he could never access all that treasure he had sealed
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: away under the ice. Oh ah, I definitely, I definitely
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: see what you mean, and I think you're probably right
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: plot wise, but it just felt like it was the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: power itself in the scene, you know what I mean,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Like it just felt so sad how like I totally
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: think that you are correct, but his desperation felt so
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: incredibly personal on a level that was like I think
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: because we didn't actually see him like put the treasure
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: away and like all of that, I didn't have a
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: much of a connection to it. So it was just
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: his power And like the way that he's talking to
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Loufy about it now, and I think that he's talking
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to him about it now the way that he is
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: because he lost out on the treasure ultimately, but it
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: just feels like so much more about that specifically to me.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: So that's a guys, I want to talk about Barlo Mayo. Now.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I never expected this. I feel so vindicated at how
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: much I have enjoyed Barlo Mayo already. So Bartolomeo is
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: like a Looviy fanboy, like it is basically a very
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: like homoerotic crush for me at this point. I love
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: it so much. He is so goofy like I I
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: liked him from the beginning. I just enjoyed him, and
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: to have his reaction to Lufy in this second episode
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: is such a delightful surprise. And I was not expecting
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: this at all, Like I don't. I think that he
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: correct me, and maybe we don't know this yet. I
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: couldn't tell if he came here explicitly because he knew
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Lufy was coming and he was like following him so
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: closely that that's why they wound up on the same island.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I can't remember, because we know he's been following Lufy
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and his cruise progress over the past two years I
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: think over two years, because he saw them at Lowtown
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: and he saw the moment where Lufy is released from
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the scaffold where he's going to be executed, which we
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure are meant to think that this is
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Lufy's dad, Dragon who did this with his power, right,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: But Bartolameo apparently doesn't know that or I don't know,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: because like Lufy's parentage was like stated publicly on the
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the film when they were like filming at the War
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: of the Best Impelled Down. We know impel Downs the prison, right,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: what's the name of the place where they were fighting
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the War the Best. But what I'm what I'm my
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: question is is whether or not he knows about Dragon
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: being Lufy's dad, and whether or not Marine Ford thank
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: you Florian, And whether Dragon's powers are known to people,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: because we don't really as viewers, quite know even what
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: his powers are, right, Like, we have seen him do
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: some stuff with this, like green lightning, and it's been
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: very very vague, So I don't know that he has
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: any idea. I'm not sure if anybody's talked to Loofy
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: about his dad's powers. Like it's sort of surprising because
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: like Dragon, being as like as huge a figure as
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: he seems to be, one would expect his powers to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: be sort of known as well, but we don't really
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: hear them talked about. Like, based on the way that
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: we have interacted with other people in this series, it
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: has felt for me much more like Ace is more
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: famous than Dragon, which I don't think is actually true.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I think that's just a result of the way that
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the narrative is set up for us to not know
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: about Dragon until later, So like there's this unfortunate sort
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: of side effect to that of like, well, if nobody
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: talks about him, then it just doesn't feel like he
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: is as famous as it as he is allegedly meant
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: to be, you know what I'm saying. So I guess
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: my question is, like, is it reasonable for Bartolomeo to
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: think that this escape that Luofy had is truly a
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: some kind of like what is it called miracle as
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: he puts it, or is he kind of missing the
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: connecting some pretty obvious dots on this because I feel
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: like I accept that he doesn't know, but I'm not
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: sure if that really makes sense in this universe that
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Dragon's powers would be so unknown. Saraph says. Barto mentioned
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: early on he wanted to get the flair Flair fruit
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: for someone, implication being he entered to win the devil
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Fruit to give to Loofy, since you know how much
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: it likely meant to him. Oh my god, Bartolameo is
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: trying to get it for Loofy. If that's the case,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love it so much, you guys.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Bartolameo is like, I don't understand how he has swooped
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: in and won my heart like this, But I just
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: really liked him from the get go. His whole vibe
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: was very fun to me, and now it's just taken
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: him to this whole other level and I all all
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I can say is that if his like weirdness with
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Loofy and his obsession with him that he has continues
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: without being interrupted by some weird reaction to Nami or
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Robin or another woman, because like, this is the thing
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: with so many of the male characters in this series,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: other than like Zoro, who seems to be completely uninterested
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: in women. But I can't fully let myself go and
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: love Brook because then he'll just turn around and be
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: such a creep out of nowhere and it makes me
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: kind of go ah fuck, and like, you ruined it.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: You know. All I want is for Bartolameo to keep
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: being like this and never be a fucking creep and
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: then I can just continue to like him in peace
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: and it's fine. So just please, Bartolomeo, don't let me down,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: let me love you, just let me do this. Okay,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: so okay. The reveal of this is like a little
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: bit slow, but like what happens is we hear a
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: couple of guys talking about how lufy is in this fight.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Somebody said something about straw Hat. Oh you mean straw
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Hat is in straw Hat loofy, the one who couldn't
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: even save his brother's life during the War of the Best.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Anybody can get famous for not being able to do something.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: And you see Bartolomeo stop and his eyes get like
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: that shadowed anime look of like I'm very angry, and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: then he turns and just absolutely wrecks this guy. And
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: it is just like, you, guys, I really really want
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: you to understand how little I suspected this was going
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: to be like any sort of thing for him, If anything,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I thought maybe he would react like the we saw
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the one who was like, oh my god, Strawhead is
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: here and seemed to be very like scared and frightened
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: by this news. So that was the only thing that
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I was thinking maybe would happen, was that he would
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: he would behave in a way to indicate that even
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: a guy who's this tough is afraid of Loofy. Him
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: defending Loofy in this way and being like prepared to
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: throw down with total strangers on his behalf absolutely never,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: So I had a moment of like, why is he
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: reacting this way? Like I really thought maybe we were
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: going to find out that it was just that Lufy
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: had done so well in his fight, and that like
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Bartolomeo just has this implicit respect when somebody performs well
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: that he you know, some yahoo who's just walking by
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: isn't going to talk shit about a guy who actually
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: was out there fighting and who fucking won, by the way, Like,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: who the hell do you think you are? I thought
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: it might just be something like that. To find out
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: that he has been following Lufy's progress for so long
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: and has been so invested and so like, I just
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: it's such a wonderful surprise, and the way that he's
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: like peeking out at Loufy. Later, Lufy walks past him
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: at one point and he literally is like he just
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: walked past me, it's the best. It's the best. He
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: gets the little like pink like you know how like
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: an anime they have a little pink like rectangles on
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the top of their cheeks with the like diagonal lines
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: over them to signify that they're blushing or flirting or whatever,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and he gets that. There's like even even this was
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: like my my real, real favorite part, not just that
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: he's super into Loofy, but that he is also into
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the rest of the straw Hats as well, because we
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: see him following their careers and he has all of
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: their wanted posters up, like he's sitting on the floor
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: in front of a wall full. It's like a little
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: straw hat shrine that he's got going on. And I
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: think that that, more than anything like really won me
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: over somehow, because it was like a guy being super
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: into the leader of a crew isn't really that unique
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: a thing. Loufy is the baddest ass of all of
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: these guys, and obsessing over him specifically actually feels quite reasonable,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: you know, not to say that this wasn't still a
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: total surprise, because it was, but I'm just trying to
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: say that, like the fact that he also began to
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: follow all the rest of the straw hats, and that
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: you even see Chopper's poster up. Chopper is the one,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: like everybody is laughing at how his poster is him
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: eating a what is it? Candy floss? You guys, I
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: really want to know why. Sometimes I can't remember the
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: words for things, but I'll remember the British way to
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: say it. We don't say candy floss in the United States,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: we say cotton candy. But did I remember that? No?
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I remember candy floss. Why I don't know, But he's
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: eating that in his poster and people like made a
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: joke out of it. Barla Mayo don't care. Bartola Mayo
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: has that poster too, does not fucking give a shit.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: He's like a girl that was super into the Backstreet
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Boys and even like the goofy rap guy who was
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: really just too old to be in the crew and
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: didn't quite fit and always kind of looked at a place.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Even him. This chick like knows all about him and
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: that is his vibe, and I am so into it.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I think that because I love Chopper so much. The
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: fact that this dude is respecting my Chopper and putting
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: some respect on his name like that. I think that's
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: what has done it for me, is just the fact
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: that this guy, it's like Lufy's the main one. Sure,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Lufy is the one that he's going to, like, be
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the most excited about, I'm sure, but even even so,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: he knows who the fuck Chopper is, you know. I
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: just this is the best. It's so good. It's so good,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: it's so exciting. I love it so much. And we
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: get that little flashback about like him looking at this
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: wall of the posters and at one point, like somebody
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: comes up to him and is like, hey, what do
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: you want us to do with these soldiers and he's like,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Drown him, I don't care. And it's
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: so funny because he's like idolizing this crew, but apparently
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: is ruthless as fuck still, so it's not like he
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: idolizes them and is trying to take to heart that
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: they are good people trying to go out into the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: world and help others. That's not it at all. He's
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: out here still being the absolute maniac that he is,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: but he just I think that the seeing that miracle happen,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: and then the way that all of them have grown
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: so much more powerful. That has been enough. But it's
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: very funny to me that, like his reaction is just yeah, whatever,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know, kill him all, just stop bothering me.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I'm busy, you know. We have him like when when
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: he tells them to fuck off and drown him. That's
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: when he's like in front of the wall with all
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: of their posters. And later on we see him reading
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the newspaper and he's like, I had been just some
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: crew leader who took over one hundred and fifty tounds,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: no big deal, but Loofy inspired me to be great.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: And he goes out and sets sail and becomes a pirate.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: But when he says be great, he doesn't mean like
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: a good person. Apparently, he's just like, I'm gonna be
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: more powerful. That's it. So he comes back to the
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: present after this long ass flashback and he's holding onto
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the tongue of the man who was shit talking Loofy
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: and about to pierce through his tongue with his knife.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: It's actually horrifying. Like there's been a lot of people
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: threatening things on this show, this feels the most viscerally
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: upsetting of a lot of them. And so yeah, he's
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: the only like, how about I cut your tong hung out? Huh,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: you'll never be half as good as him, worthless piece
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: a crap. And he just doesn't. He doesn't cut the
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: guy's tongue out. He just starts beating the shit out
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: of him. But then we jump back to Loofy fighting Cavendish.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Cavendish fighting Loofy. You guys, Cavendish is the opposite of
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Bartolomeo in every way I think. I I think that
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Cavendish being vain and good looking and everybody thinking that
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: he's good looking is just really not quite enough for
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: me to be interested in him as a character. I
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: think that's where I've sort of wound up with him,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: is just we still have the same motivation. Even though
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: he doesn't he's not using his real name, He's still
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: taking everybody's attention and you know, the crowd favorite, and
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Cavendish can't handle that. And it's I think I want
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Cavendish's attitude to be a little bit more like overblown
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: in a different way. His overblow of I'm obsessed with
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: being everybody's favorite. You've got to add a little bit
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: more to his dialogue. You can't just have him keep
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: repeating that it's not very fun to watch, So I
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: think that's where I'm at at the moment, is just
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: sort of like this is getting a little bit tedious now,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I feel like there's potential with him,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: but it's not. If you had told me that there
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: was a character who was jealous of Lufy's popularity because
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: he was very vain and everybody thought he was the
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: hottest man alive, and he just resented the fact that
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Lufy is the favorite, I think I would have expected
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: this to be a lot more fun than it has
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: turned out to be. You know what I'm saying. I
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: don't feel like I'm being that harsh with this. I
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: feel like you guys probably get what I'm saying. Like,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: what I keep thinking about is how Soanjy's double, Like
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: I say double, even though he just looked like Sonji
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: did in the the wanted poster that was drawn of him.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: But that guy and his like constant reference to himself
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: and how attractive he is, and part of the joke
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: is that he is attractive, but like nobody's ever referencing
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: that the way, so it makes it a fun joke.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind it if what we did here was like,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: maybe we could do something with this that doesn't get
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: done with uh Boa. And what I mean is BoA's power, right,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: is that everybody thinks she's the most beautiful woman, to
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the point that they get basically enchanted by her, and
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: she can turn them to stone because they fall so
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: utterly in love with her right away. And Lufy doesn't
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: have the reaction to her, which allows him to not
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: get turned into stone and also probably is the reason
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: why she falls for him, because he just doesn't have
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: the reaction to her that she is used to and
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: it causes something in her. Now, that's fine, especially because
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: we haven't seen Lufy be interested in women at all,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: and it feels very in character for him to not
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: be affected by this. But what if we had Cavendish
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: have an effect on Lufy, not in that Lufy's like
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: actually attracted to him. I'm not being saying like, let's
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: make Loofy gay. I'm saying what if Lufy kept being like, Wow,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: look at those muscles, your skin is amazing, your hair
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: is like flawless, you know, just like silly things that
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: normally Loofy wouldn't notice. But because Cavendish is so particularly outstanding.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Even Loofy has to stop and like be like, wow,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: that's so impressive. I feel like that might have made
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: this a little bit more exciting to watch, because otherwise
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: it's just Cavendish getting pissy in a way that absolutely
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: nobody there is interested in, not Loofy, not the other fighters,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: and Cavendish. It's like it's very one note. You need
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: something to make this a little bit, like to make
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the humor of this bit progress further. Otherwise it's just
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: static and gets stale really fast. So anyway, Barlomeo is
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: watching this whole fight from the sidelines, and it's like,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: should I go up there? Should I say something? What
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: am I even gonna say? Oh my god, he does
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: have that scar under his left eye. He's even more
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: amazing in person. I can't see through all these tears
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: of joy. And then he calls Cavendish a cabbage asshole,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: which I don't know if that's like a translation thing,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: but calling him a cabbage asshole is really funny. And
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: he tries to yell at Cavendish, but he is so
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: nervous that his voice fails him as he's in like
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: mid sentence. So this is when gen Jau shows up,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Lufy has already said to Cavendish like, bruh, can we
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: please not? I've been fighting all day? And when jan
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Jau shows up, Lufy is truly like okay, you know what,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: no enough of this shit. And Rebecca swoops in and
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: is like, hey, follow me. Well he follows her and
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: he gets stopped by Jesus Burgess on the way, who
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: has Teach on the transponder snail. And it's very funny
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: because I thought, like, okay, eventually he says Teach his name,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, but I'm gonna be honest.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: As he's talking to Teach, I didn't know who this was.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I was not putting it together, And I am very
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: curious if you guys listening did put it together? Like
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: am I the only one that missed who this was
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: and didn't know right away? I feel like Loofy reacts
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: as if he does know immediately, like he just hears
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the voice on the transponder snail as he's walking by
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: and instantly stops like why the fuck am I hearing Teach?
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: And I felt kind of bad because I was like,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. Teach is really our big bad like
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: higher up the chain, I would say than dolfl Mingo
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Doflmingo is our immediate threat, but Teach is the guy
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: that we're the most worried about in the long term, right.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like that's unreasonable to say. I want
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: and I think this is a little bit of a
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: problem for the show in general. I want to check
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: in with Teach a little bit more often and know
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: what's going on with him. We don't even really need
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: to have him as a character show up, but I
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: would like a maybe moment where our friends are like
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: reading the newspaper or watching the news if we have
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: like TV news. It's very inconsistent when where you can
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: access TV news and how like frequently people watch it
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: and stuff. But I just feel like this show is
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: so like slowly paced in a lot of ways. There
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: are storylines that get set up really really early and
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: don't pay off for hundreds of episodes literally, And I
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: cannot understand how when they are trying to stretch things
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: out so much of the time, they don't decide to
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: just maybe refresh us on some of the other stuff.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: And I wish that even if things were going to
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: be spaced out as much as they were, that we
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: would spend less time on like really drawn out fight
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: sequences or slow pans across the faces of startled people,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: and we would instead get a little bit more information
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: about somebody who is meant to be a pretty big deal,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Like Teach is having taken the powers that he has?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: How many how many devil for powers does he have? Now?
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Does he have like three or does he only have two?
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly how like, because we see him
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: taking one, but I can't remember if he already had
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: two by the time this like we see him taking
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: the second one. But the fact that he has these
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: abilities and everything is really startling, and I want more
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: people to be talking about it and mystified by it
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: and trying to figure it out. I want there to
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: be a sense of like what the world's reaction is
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: to this guy. And I think that's the thing that's
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: a real disconnect for me with one piece is like
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: we will see our crew handling stuff, and we will
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: see townsfolk recognizing our friends and being like, aren't they
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: the ones who blank blank blank? But then there are
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: other things that they don't know, or other people that
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: they don't recognize, and I feel like it's a very
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: inconsistent thing based on whatever the story needs to happen,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: how informed people are about like current events and how
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: fast news spreads, and what the world at large feels
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: about major events like. To me, the fact that Teach
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: can take on more than one double fruit power should
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: be earth shattering. I mean, the fact that we are
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: now able to make devil fruits like synthetically basically in
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: a factory also is bonkers, but I would put what
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Teach can do even above that, because even if you
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: can synthetically make devil fruits, which is wild, we were
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: given to understand that you can still only have one power.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: If you're gonna be able to both have the synthetic
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: devil fruit and potentially you could have more than one power.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: I wish everybody were talking about this. I want this
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: to be something that as soon as it's revealed, everybody
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: becomes low key obsessed with a little bit. And I
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: think Teach should be talked about more so anyway, all
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: that to say, Teach should his voice showing up here.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like if he's not enough of a presence
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: that I know who he is right away, then you
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: need to dial it up a little bit, because based
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: on what we have seen teach do, I think I
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: should he should be on my mind all the time,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: and I should really instantly recognize his voice. We need
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: to get this like up to eleven here anyway. So
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: we have like the usual smack talking between him and
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Lufy and him just being like, you're not gonna win
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: the flame Flame fruit. It's gonna be burgess. I wanted
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: as to join the Blackbeard Pirates, but he turned me down.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: So getting that fruit is the next Bec's best thing,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: isn't it. And of course Lufy is just like, of
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: course I'm going to win it, and he says, well,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: you might have to eat those words, kid, I can't
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: wait to see it. So then Lufy keeps running with Rebecca,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: and it's very funny. He stops in there, like an
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: area in the colisseum where they are selling refreshments, and
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: Lufy of course stops and is like, yo, what's up?
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: And he starts eating all of these free samples that
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: this lady has, and so Rebecca has to come by
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: and be like, hey, I'm really sorry about that. And
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: apparently she knows this lady or I shouldn't say that.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: It's clear later that she's like famous, so this lady
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: knows her is probably the more appropriate way to put it.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: And she pays this woman for Louvi's food and buys
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: him several meals, and this leads to a whole thing later.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: It's a really weird moment, you guys, when they're sitting
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: together and Lufy is like, hey, uh, you're not hungry too,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: are you, Because for once he has a moment of like,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: maybe I should offer her something like we really don't
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: see Lufy give a shit about sharing almost ever. And
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: the fact that he even stops to ask I was like, wow,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: is this growth on your part, buddy? But he asks
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: her this, and we have a flashback of her like
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: with her mother saying I'm so hungry, I'm starving, and
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: her mother is saying, I know, I'm so sorry. It's
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: two days is a long wait, but if you just
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: stay here by yourself for a little while, I'm going
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: to get us some food, And we come back to
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: the present and she says to Lufy, I don't get
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: hungry anymore, which is the weirdest way to say that
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: that I can think of. I don't really even get
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: what she means. I think maybe the implication here is
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: that her mother's having to go and get her food
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: because she was hungry, as far as she is concerned,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: is the reason her mother is dead. And so she
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: doesn't like to have her own needs because it means
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: that she's going to be putting other people out and
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: potentially in danger in order to provide for her. So
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: she just tries to act like, oh, I don't get
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: hungry anymore, because then I don't have to worry about
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: you trying to provide for me and getting hurt because
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: of it, which I suppose. I'm like, I guess I'm
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: just sort of gonna wait and see how this is developed,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: because I feel like I maybe am not seeing the
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: whole picture here. But it's a weird, Like just saying
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: I don't get hungry just sounds crazy. It's one thing
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: to be like no, no, no, I'm fine and constantly
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: always saying like you don't need anything from people, but
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: just being like no, no, no, I don't get hungry, it
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: sounds like you're not a human. It sounds like you
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: maybe you're one of these toys or something. You know.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: It's just a way of phrasing it that feels really
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: like it's gonna lead to more questions and probably draw
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: more attention to this than you really intended. So anyway,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: it's just a funny, funny moment. So Lufy as he's
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: like standing and talking to her and eating his food,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: he gets gripped up from behind by some guy through
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: like the bars of this cage, and this dude is
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: yelling at her you have to kill him or if
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: you don't, you'll never accomplish your mission. And Lufy is like,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: wait what, and she holds up her sword and I
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: really thought that she was gonna go for the guy
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: who had grabbed Loofy, but she doesn't. She actually does
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: go for Loofy, and like it's not like it doesn't
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: cost or anything. She definitely has a moment of clearly
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: trying to ask herself, am I really gonna do this?
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Like it's bothering her that she has to take this
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: step and she doesn't want to. She's grown to like
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Loofy and she doesn't want to do this, but she
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: still goes through with it initially, and Loofy takes her
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: down with it's like no effort at all. He jumps
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: out of the way, he lands on her and pins
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: her to the ground with his feet, and in the
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: process of doing all of this, does not lose the
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: meal that he's holding onto and continues to eat while
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: he's standing on top of her holding her down. You guys,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: this is the most insulting fight I think we've ever seen. Like,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: there have been a lot of people who Loofy has
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: put in their place, and this is the one that
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: has I think, like bummed me out the most, because
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: you guys know how frustrated I have been over the
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: fact that the women in this universe are just so
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: rarely allowed to fight at the level the men are.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: It's just so some of the women have really incredible superpowers, yes,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: and they are able to do cool shit and be
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: really useful to the group, but they're not really fighters
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: ever almost, you know. And I was so hopeful that
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Rebecca was going to be a real force to be
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: reckoned with, and it doesn't. It's not like she's nothing
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: like we see later on that she has a reputation
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: as being a decent fighter, which is part of the
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: reason why people seem to not like her because of
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: her family's history and whatnot. As well but it just
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: for me was not enough, after her being built up
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: and wanting to like win this competition and putting herself
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: out there like this, for Lovie to take her down
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: without breaking a sweat, dropping his meal anything, it makes
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: her a joke and it makes me really sad. And
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: I get it that Lovi is meant to be very
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: powerful and a good fighter, but even so, I mean,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: come on, a little, a little challenge, it's like a
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: second and it's over, and it just it made me really,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: really sad because it's the fact that women are so
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: rarely allowed to be dope fighters combined with what we
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: have Rebecca wearing. I am trying so hard to get
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: past this fucking outfit, you guys. I am trying so
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: hard not to constantly be rolling my eyes at it.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: And I could have gotten past it if we were
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: letting her be a complete badass, but it seems we're not,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: So we have her in this fucking get up, and
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: we have her not being a great fighter. And when
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: she is being introduced to the coliseum later, the first
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: thing that's mentioned is how she's like the most beautiful
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: gladiator and gets such a reaction out of everybody. It
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: is not about her fighting skills, It is not about
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: her prowess. It is about her looks only, and I
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: am so fucking over it. Can we please grow as
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: a species here? And this show has been really like
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: inconsistent for me on so many things, but this is
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: one where I keep hoping that we're getting through and
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: past it and we're getting to a spot where women
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: are going to be treated as people a little bit more,
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: and we keep not getting that, and it's making me
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: more and more angry every time I get tricked into
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: having some hope for it, Like I constantly set aside
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: everything so far and go, okay, well, let's see maybe
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: this one, and it just hasn't really happened. We've had
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: some fun powers, you know, we have had some female
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: characters that are funny or cool. But all I am
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: looking for is for a character who's a woman whose
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: appearance is not the focus in one way or another.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Because if we have a character who is beautiful, the
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: fact that she's beautiful is a huge fucking deal, especially
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: if she's met by Soanjy or Brook, it's always going
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: to be one of the first things mentioned. And if
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: she is not beautiful, especially if she's fat. That's also
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: gonna be a major fucking topic, you know, like the
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: lady who ate the art art fruit. One of the
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: first things is a joke about her being like, uh,
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: are you gonna admire my figure and all of them
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: being like ugh no, and it just this is not
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: how male characters are ever handled. Ever. How many fat,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: pot bellied dudes are in this colosseum. There's like tough guys, sure,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: but you got tons of like old fat guys as well.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: You've got tons of dudes with weird bodies. It's never mentioned.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: It's nothing, and every woman her appearance is like a
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: number one on the list of things that are talked
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: about that are like plot relevant. It's so lopsided and
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: it's so fucking exhausting. It's just such a great example
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: of what it is like to be a woman in
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: the world, honestly, because this is what it has always
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: felt like. This is what it has been like growing
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: up and knowing that you just either don't get taken
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: seriously because you're attractive, or you don't get taken seriously
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: because you're unattractive, But either way it doesn't matter because
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: you're a woman and nobody will take you seriously, period,
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: So good luck. Figure out which one is the least
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: tiresome to deal with every single day of your life.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Figure out which one you are the most willing to
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: deal with the fallout of if it goes left somehow,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: and which one you're the most willing to deal with
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: the maintenance for you know, it's just Rebecca's character bums
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: me out, and I am. I am so hopeful that
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: they wind up turning this around. But I have been
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: hopeful and it has not happened. And I am pretty
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: much getting to the point where anytime a new Woman
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: character pops up, I'm just gonna throw my hands up
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: and not expect anything. And I hate that, I really do.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: But we are six hundred and fifty episodes in My Friends,
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: and really like we've got Robin and Namy. Both of
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: them are not like major fighters on the team. They
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: come in at as a clutch thing, doing this and
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: this here and there and even that, like Nami's weapon
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: gets fucked up by this art art eating woman and
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: she can't do shit now just because her weapon got destroyed,
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: so now she's useless in a fight, which sucks ass.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: So I just I'm sorry but Rebecca is such a
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: major disappointment. I really thought that maybe, like the way
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: that she's dressed was going to be like under what's
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: the word I want? Subverted, And it doesn't seem like
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: that's what's going to happen at all. So anyway, we
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: find out that one of the guys who held Loofy
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: down he is a prisoner who is forced to fight
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: as a gladiator, and he is part of a large
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: group of dudes who are all bandaged up and a
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: lot of them are like missing limbs and stuff, and
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: they apparently got on the don Quixote family's bad side,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: and we're promised freedom if they could win a thousand battles,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: but they of course do not do that. Nobody can
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: do that, and so they are all just being killed
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: for everybody's entertainment. And we have Rebecca ending this episode
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: saying that like, I am going to get this fucking
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: flame flame fruit, and I am going to kill do
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: Flamingo and that is like my life's mission. And I'm
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: also going to help the toy soldier because I'm sick
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: of him having to protect me all the time, so
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: I am finally going to protect him. And then we
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: go to the flashbacks episode, which is the third in
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: which we see the sweet relationship that she has with
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: her mother. We find out later that her mother is
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: high born, but they don't live the life of high
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: born people. They're living in a little cabin and like
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: it's like the two of them alone, and there's a
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: kind of a farm set up around them. Her mother
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: is cooking for her. It's not like they have servants.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: They don't live in this huge home. And her father
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: is nowhere to be found, which I have to assume
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: her father is this toy soldier. I can't help but
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: laugh at the fact that she never actually asks the
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: toy soldier's name. She just calls him toy soldier, and
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: he just expects her to only call him that, I guess,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: and to this day, after knowing him as long as
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: she has, that's still what she calls him. And I
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: just think it's kind of funny that, like, really, it
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: never even enters your head to be like, do you
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: have your own name? As a child, I named my toys,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, that's just like a thing you do,
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: so I would have that. She would, even if she
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: doesn't ask if you have a name she'd be like,
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: I'm going to call you such and such, you know,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: like that she would give him a name, but evidently not,
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: he's just toy soldier. So her and her mother are
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: having this dinner and this is like, you know, one
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: of the times where she's talking about how hungry she
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: has been and how it was like her stomach was
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: grumbling and everything, And this means that later on, when
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: she has this other interaction with her mother where she's starving,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: it's just sort of meant to underscore the difference in
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: the situations from then to now. And there is an
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: attack by I'm assuming like this is all do Flamingo's people,
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: and he we see him in the square like talking
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: to the townsfolk about how the royals that were here
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: before were stealing from them, and everybody body's cheering and
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: agreeing with him. But I can't tell if there's any
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: evidence of this that he presents that there was, Like,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: was there already a suspicion that they were doing this
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: that he's confirming. Did he set them up and frame
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: them for doing this when they weren't, or is this
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: like an aspect of the memory thing that I've been
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: singing around where people's memory of things are being affected.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: But I it just felt like everybody was cheering for
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: him and going along with this in such a way
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: that there had to be something to it, whether it
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: was real or not. But we don't really get that
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: expanded upon. So she and her mother go running and
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: escape just barely, but they are starving, and her mother says,
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go and get food, and we see
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: that she has like this bag with bread and like
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: a sausage in it, and she gets shot and the
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: toy soldier comes to Rebecca with her mother's body. I
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: don't know about you, guys, but I kind of felt like,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: maybe don't bring the little girl her mother's body. Like
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: that was just my opinion. I may be, you know,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: like not really fully thinking this through, but it just
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: felt like showing up with her body the way that
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: he did was like so traumatic. Just show up and
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: be like I couldn't save her. She's not she didn't
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: make it, you know, but I don't know. And at
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: first Rebecca is like, I hate you because you couldn't
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: save her, and we see that like there's going to
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: be this tension for a little while, but eventually he
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: becomes her safety, and they are able to find this
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: town where they're allowed to live for free because the
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: houses have been vacated by people and are you know,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: just basically going to be sitting unoccupied, which is something
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: that Americans could really learn from, but we won't. And
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: we get to see a series of moments where the
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: toy Soldier is looking out for her and saves her
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: from a bully, from a kid who's like in love
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: with her, which is just so, and from a couple
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: of kidnappers who the implication is very strong that they
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: are going to be trafficking her as like a sexual object,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: which is horrifying, but this she gets rescued from, and
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: eventually the toy Soldier is like, you know what, I
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: can't always be there. There's going to be a day
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: where something happens to me, and I need to teach
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: you to take care of yourself and to stand up
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: for yourself. And so we see the beginning of her
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: training and she's very resistant to it at first, but
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: eventually begins to like go along with it and to
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: learn from him. And it's just I was very relieved
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: that the relationship is much more of like this is
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: a father figure For me, I think it's pretty clear
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: that this is probably her literal father who's been transformed.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: I'm just relieved that it doesn't seem like this is
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: a romantic thing, because I just can't cope with the
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: romantic thing between humans and Toya's guys. I just can't
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: do it. It's too weird. And so we come back
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: to the present and Lufy like she is seeing her
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: go out in front of everybody to fight, and he
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: sees the way the crowd is reacting and they're booing her,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: and he's just like, what the fuck. She's a really
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: nice person and she bought me lunch. Why is it
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: that they're acting like this? And one of the prisoners
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: says she's bound by her family's legacy. Her grandfather was
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: our former king. The entire country despises him. And the
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: episode ends with Loofy looking like he is about to
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: go out and lay a SmackDown on the entire audience
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: because of the way they're treating Rebecca, which is very
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: funny to me. He looks more angry at this than
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: he has looked about anything while he was in the
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: ring himself, And I mean, look, I'm not going to
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: sit here and defend a monarchy. I think the fact
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: that her mother took her away and they lived on
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: their own probably means that she is not of the
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: same ilk as the average royal, so definitely not trying
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: to put her in the same box with them all.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: But maybe there's some reason why they hated the king,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: and maybe those reasons are valid. What do I know,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: So I guess we'll have to wait and see. So
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna wrap this up. I thank you guys so
• 1:04:13
