Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
0:09
Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes seven fifty six through seven fifty
0:14
Speaker 1: seven start to counterattack great moves by the Twirly Hat crew,
0:22
Speaker 1: and a threat descends the Beast pirates Jack in these
0:30
Speaker 1: episodes Towirly Hat Pirates. Hmmm, really okay, why not? I
0:41
Speaker 1: don't hate it. Also, Jack turning out to be a
0:46
Speaker 1: mammoth pretty fun. Wasn't expecting it? Welcome to spoil Me.
1:11
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you
1:15
Speaker 1: very very much to Florian for commissioning this episode. Florian
1:21
Speaker 1: is here in the chat, as is Saraphem, and Saraphim
1:24
Speaker 1: had left a comment before I started, so thought, how
1:28
Speaker 1: does human being counted as minks not make sense? The
1:32
Speaker 1: only similarity is they are all mammals, and a human
1:36
Speaker 1: would be more closely related versus related to an ape
1:42
Speaker 1: mink like uh will be more closely related versus related
1:48
Speaker 1: to an ape mink like Babe. Then Kara and Wanda
1:52
Speaker 1: would be to each other. Sorry, Saraphim, I'm having a
1:55
Speaker 1: little trouble following the this. Do you mean you mean
2:01
Speaker 1: the similarity between all the minks as them all being
2:09
Speaker 1: animals with humanoid qualities, so them all having fur and whatnot,
2:17
Speaker 1: and a human would be more closely really, oh, the
2:20
Speaker 1: v was a type of would be more closely related. Uh.
2:25
Speaker 1: A human would be more closely related to an ape
2:28
Speaker 1: mink like bebe. Then Kara and Wanda would be to
2:33
Speaker 1: each other. Uh. I honestly don't know if that's true.
2:40
Speaker 1: Like to me, the similarity is they are all mammals
2:44
Speaker 1: that are not sentient or walk on two legs, and
2:48
Speaker 1: they all are and that is a very different thing
2:53
Speaker 1: to all human beings who do that naturally always. So
2:59
Speaker 1: it's just me like, that's that's it. I'm not talking about, like,
3:03
Speaker 1: you know, the species of animal or anything like that.
3:06
Speaker 1: I'm not even trying to get into that because then
3:08
Speaker 1: you really start to this just falls apart. I am
3:11
Speaker 1: just saying that the way that they're counting, like, oh, yeah, well,
3:16
Speaker 1: we just think of you guys as minks without hair.
3:19
Speaker 1: They're not. The minks are not. It doesn't matter. It
3:25
Speaker 1: really doesn't matter. But I think it doesn't even really
3:30
Speaker 1: need explaining why I find that weird, So I'm just
3:33
Speaker 1: gonna leave it. So let's start with the explanation that
3:40
Speaker 1: we find out in seven fifty six as to what
3:45
Speaker 1: the corpse of your crew or your crew's corpse was,
3:51
Speaker 1: which it turns out was Brooke. Now in the show
3:55
Speaker 1: notes for a I think the previous episode, I said
4:01
Speaker 1: that Soanji had been taken along with Momo and Brook,
4:07
Speaker 1: and I wrote that because we don't see them in
4:11
Speaker 1: that episode. We're having a big kind of reunion moment,
4:15
Speaker 1: So if Momo and Brooke had been there, I would
4:18
Speaker 1: have thought they'd have shown up here too. Eventually we
4:21
Speaker 1: find out why not, But it turns out Sanji is
4:25
Speaker 1: the only one that's been taken. Momo has some sort
4:31
Speaker 1: of issue with the minx and he keeps himself like
4:35
Speaker 1: closed off and locked up, and Brooke is suffering repeat
4:42
Speaker 1: harassment from these animals. So the whole uh, the whole thing.
4:50
Speaker 1: There's so many like bits and bobs to talk about here.
4:54
Speaker 1: I just want to mention, like these animals going after
4:58
Speaker 1: Brooke and wanting to chew on him. I it was
5:03
Speaker 1: like I simultaneously found this very funny but also really distressing.
5:08
Speaker 1: This is the sort of thing that I think as
5:09
Speaker 1: a kid, I'd have been like disturbed by all of
5:12
Speaker 1: his friends turning to watch him get jumped on by
5:16
Speaker 1: like five different animals and then just turning and walking
5:20
Speaker 1: away like it's no big deal. I really like, I
5:24
Speaker 1: feel like as a kid, this would have bothered me
5:27
Speaker 1: a little bit. And all I can think is like,
5:31
Speaker 1: are I can't remember how durable Brook is? Will his
5:35
Speaker 1: bone snap? Is this something that we need to worry about.
5:38
Speaker 1: It's like the kind of affection that they feel for
5:41
Speaker 1: human beings where they want to rub against them, is magnified.
5:47
Speaker 1: And you add in a weird like oral fixation here,
5:51
Speaker 1: and Brooke has just got the worst of all worlds,
5:54
Speaker 1: so his clothes are all raggedy and shit when he
5:57
Speaker 1: turns up because they've just been like destroying this poor guy. Momo.
6:06
Speaker 1: It's like there's definitely some weird beef between the minx
6:11
Speaker 1: and the Samurai. Unclear whether or not this is solely
6:16
Speaker 1: the result of the Beast Pirates showing up looking for
6:19
Speaker 1: a samurai slash ninja, or if this is something that
6:24
Speaker 1: existed previously, but Momo seems to know something, and so
6:30
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like he only has shown
6:35
Speaker 1: them his dragon self and do they not know that
6:41
Speaker 1: he is himself a samurai? If they did, would that
6:44
Speaker 1: be an issue? He seems to just be aware of
6:47
Speaker 1: something more than everybody else is, And I'm very curious
6:55
Speaker 1: because you know, Brooks, he warns Loofy about using the
7:01
Speaker 1: word samurai and using another word I can't remember. There
7:04
Speaker 1: were two words that he was warned about, and later
7:07
Speaker 1: on Lufy mentions the samurais calling them by name and
7:13
Speaker 1: saying the word samurai, and how it's too bad that
7:16
Speaker 1: they aren't here, which the episode ends on Wanda turning
7:21
Speaker 1: and looking at him aghast and all of the people
7:24
Speaker 1: who have been hanging out with the Minx already kind
7:28
Speaker 1: of clapping a hand to their mouths like, oh, I
7:30
Speaker 1: can't believe he fucking said it, which of course he
7:32
Speaker 1: said it, because that's just Loofy, Like, of course he did.
7:36
Speaker 1: Trying to ask Loofy to avoid a particular topic of conversation.
7:43
Speaker 1: It's like in Seinfeld, where anytime there is something that's
7:48
Speaker 1: like particularly awkward or weird that you either really want
7:53
Speaker 1: brought up badly or you want to avoid talking about
7:57
Speaker 1: at all. As soon as walks in the room, you
8:01
Speaker 1: know that subject is getting brought up. Kramer has like
8:06
Speaker 1: the vibe of Loofy in some ways where he has
8:10
Speaker 1: no real ability to like read the room, no desire to.
8:16
Speaker 1: He is like, you know, a five or six year
8:21
Speaker 1: old who just blurts shit out without really considering anything
8:26
Speaker 1: beyond the fact that they felt like they needed to
8:28
Speaker 1: say the thing. So I am really wondering, like what
8:33
Speaker 1: this is going to turn out to be? That, what
8:35
Speaker 1: the deal is with the samurai? Why these pirates are
8:39
Speaker 1: looking for one? Like what all of this is? Saraphim
8:44
Speaker 1: says Wanda was just too focused on how much she
8:47
Speaker 1: wanted to jump Brooks bones. I hate you, and then
8:50
Speaker 1: reminds me if they if brooks bones break, he just
8:54
Speaker 1: needs some milk to fix them. I forgot about the
8:56
Speaker 1: milk thing. That's right, man, the dairy lobby really did
8:59
Speaker 1: a number on us with milk and bones. Huh. They
9:01
Speaker 1: really got in there. So the one like plot point
9:10
Speaker 1: that I'm going to talk about just and get it
9:12
Speaker 1: out of the way is uh Conjureau and Kinemon, who
9:18
Speaker 1: are still trying to get up the sides of the elephant.
9:22
Speaker 1: With this drawing of a cat, It's so painful to
9:26
Speaker 1: watch this cat. Eventually like starts to look real weird
9:29
Speaker 1: because he's pushing himself too much, and they all scream
9:33
Speaker 1: and are terrified of the cat, but then they're like,
9:35
Speaker 1: oh no, it's fine, you could probably keep going, right,
9:37
Speaker 1: And I was like, I hate this so much. I
9:42
Speaker 1: think this, like is my least favorite recurring bit in
9:47
Speaker 1: the show period, and I am including the those bleed
9:53
Speaker 1: geysers from Sanjy, Like, if we're doing a recurring bit
10:00
Speaker 1: this one, I want it to die. I don't think
10:03
Speaker 1: it's funny. I don't think it's interesting to watch. I
10:07
Speaker 1: don't think it's like particularly been that helpful. I mean,
10:16
Speaker 1: it's difficult for me because I feel like the way
10:19
Speaker 1: that our people have powers, they could probably have just
10:22
Speaker 1: gotten up the side of this huge elephant a million
10:26
Speaker 1: other ways. So we're just pretending that they needed to
10:29
Speaker 1: get up on the back of this dragon because we
10:34
Speaker 1: need everybody together and we need it to be this
10:36
Speaker 1: whole thing. I can think of several other ways that
10:41
Speaker 1: this could have been done easily with the powers that
10:44
Speaker 1: they all have, But it's just a combo of like
10:50
Speaker 1: this this creature looking like it's suffering so acutely for
10:55
Speaker 1: so long and being pushed and pushed. I just hate it.
11:02
Speaker 1: I fucking despise it, and It would be one thing
11:07
Speaker 1: if these things were like if condre seemed at all
11:10
Speaker 1: conscious of the fact that these creatures are suffering, But
11:13
Speaker 1: everybody around him seems to realize that they're suffering except
11:16
Speaker 1: for him, and he's just like completely oblivious. So I'm like,
11:20
Speaker 1: this is the wrong person to get this power. Anybody
11:24
Speaker 1: else who was prepared to be a little bit more
11:27
Speaker 1: responsible about it and learn how to draw better so
11:29
Speaker 1: that they don't turn out like this, then maybe I
11:33
Speaker 1: could adult. But this particular person is incompatible with this
11:37
Speaker 1: particular power. I disapprove. And eventually the sun is going down,
11:45
Speaker 1: the cat has you know, like worn itself out, and
11:48
Speaker 1: it becomes clear that they can't continue on, so they
11:52
Speaker 1: decide to drop back down to the sunny and try
11:54
Speaker 1: again the next day. And I was sort of wondering
11:57
Speaker 1: about how this fucking plotline was even necessary, and I
12:03
Speaker 1: was just thinking, all right, well, everybody here isn't really
12:06
Speaker 1: part of the straw Hats, So is it just that
12:08
Speaker 1: we just wanted a straw Hats story, but we wanted
12:11
Speaker 1: these guys to be around still. And I couldn't really
12:17
Speaker 1: understand that because we've had no problems before with people
12:20
Speaker 1: that we don't really give much of a shit about
12:23
Speaker 1: being left behind, and then we returned to them after
12:25
Speaker 1: many episodes, so I was like, the way this is
12:28
Speaker 1: written and the way they keep reappearing, they're clearly meant
12:31
Speaker 1: to be on our mind. We're being reminded constantly that
12:34
Speaker 1: these guys are still here. That's got to have some
12:38
Speaker 1: reason behind it, and what we like. What conclusion I
12:44
Speaker 1: have come to is that these dudes are part of
12:49
Speaker 1: whatever this weird beef is with the Minx, and if
12:53
Speaker 1: they had been with the straw Hats once they went
12:56
Speaker 1: into the forest and encountered the Minx, it would have
13:02
Speaker 1: thrown a massive wrench in their plans somehow. So I'm
13:09
Speaker 1: curious to see where this goes. I really don't want
13:14
Speaker 1: to revisit them, just to watch them trying to get
13:16
Speaker 1: up the side of this elephant over and over, and
13:18
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that's what we're gonna get, and
13:20
Speaker 1: I'm like, not excited about it because it's gonna be
13:22
Speaker 1: more of these fucking animals. I also am curious who
13:28
Speaker 1: this ninja is that both Conjuro and the Beast Pirates
13:34
Speaker 1: would be looking for them. I don't think we have
13:39
Speaker 1: seen anybody that would fit the description, but I don't
13:43
Speaker 1: know for sure, And yeah, it's uh, I'm curious because
13:50
Speaker 1: like the addition of the of samurai and ninjas, it's
14:01
Speaker 1: what was the audience reaction to these being included in
14:07
Speaker 1: the story, because it sort of feels weird to me
14:11
Speaker 1: at times that they are treated so distinctly when people
14:16
Speaker 1: talk about them, when we have got like people with
14:20
Speaker 1: literal superpowers. It feels like the kind of thing where
14:26
Speaker 1: they are reacting to tales of samurai or ninja the
14:31
Speaker 1: way that we would in the real world, and in
14:35
Speaker 1: context of the one piece world, it doesn't really make
14:37
Speaker 1: a lot of sense to me how they're all so
14:40
Speaker 1: excited about it. But maybe that's just supposed to be
14:43
Speaker 1: part of the joke, is that like even the people
14:46
Speaker 1: who have superpowers thinking ninjas and samurai are dope, which
14:51
Speaker 1: I guess could work. Saraphim says, not seeing them just
14:56
Speaker 1: means they're really good Ninja, It's possible. Florian says, Japan
15:00
Speaker 1: loved it. They love Samuraian Ninja's I guess that makes sense.
15:04
Speaker 1: You know, It's sort of like, how would the US
15:07
Speaker 1: react if we decided to put like a cowboy or
15:10
Speaker 1: a mobster. I guess we have a mobster. We haven't
15:14
Speaker 1: really had a cowboy, really, have we. That'd be interesting
15:19
Speaker 1: to see. One of my favorite things that like, you know,
15:24
Speaker 1: if you listen to other shows of mine, you are
15:26
Speaker 1: aware how many British murder mystery shows I watch, and
15:32
Speaker 1: there are frequently when you've got like the serialized mystery
15:37
Speaker 1: of the week type episodes, they will trot in an
15:41
Speaker 1: English actor who is supposed to be a Texan. All
15:45
Speaker 1: the time, it's a Texan. It's never just an American,
15:48
Speaker 1: and it's rarely like a New Yorker or somebody from Brooklyn,
15:53
Speaker 1: you know, it's almost always a Texan who wears cowboy hats,
15:59
Speaker 1: has a very strong accent, and is rich from oil money.
16:05
Speaker 1: Is like the the you know, stereotype that they go with.
16:10
Speaker 1: And it's always very funny to me because it straddles
16:15
Speaker 1: that weird line where if the if the actor is
16:18
Speaker 1: good enough at doing a Texan accent, I shouldn't even
16:23
Speaker 1: say Texan a Southern accent because, like what happens so
16:28
Speaker 1: much of the time, people outside of a country, they
16:30
Speaker 1: do not distinguish between regional accents as much. You know,
16:36
Speaker 1: the one exception I'll say is that, like Americans do
16:39
Speaker 1: tend to know the difference between like a Manchester accent
16:43
Speaker 1: and like a Liverpool accent something very extreme, you know,
16:47
Speaker 1: or an Oxford accent, we can tend to know the
16:51
Speaker 1: difference between those, even if we couldn't put a name
16:54
Speaker 1: to them. But usually when it comes to Southern accents,
16:57
Speaker 1: other countries just have this one sort of standard twang
17:00
Speaker 1: that they go for, which is fine, it doesn't bother me.
17:03
Speaker 1: But I'm also not a native Southern person, so but
17:08
Speaker 1: it would be kind of interesting to see how that
17:10
Speaker 1: would play out in this show if we did do that.
17:16
Speaker 1: Seraphim says, also keep in mind the ones most excited
17:19
Speaker 1: are loofy Oosup and Chopper, the most teenage boy mentality
17:24
Speaker 1: of the crew in terms of, oh, that's cool, I
17:27
Speaker 1: guess that's true. I could have sworn that Robin was
17:31
Speaker 1: really excited. But Robin also has a tendency to like
17:35
Speaker 1: get very into stuff that you wouldn't expect because she's
17:39
Speaker 1: just a kind of curious person, So that might still
17:43
Speaker 1: hold anyway. Okay, so we when we open this episode,
17:49
Speaker 1: after we have them like falling down the side of
17:51
Speaker 1: the elephant, we go to Zoro, who is drinking this
17:56
Speaker 1: liquor that is made from all of the different fruits
17:59
Speaker 1: that they can find in the forest and is really
18:02
Speaker 1: really enjoying it. The animals are rubbing against him and
18:07
Speaker 1: he does not like it. Later on we get to
18:11
Speaker 1: see Frankie fully embracing the cuddles and he is one
18:17
Speaker 1: into it. Loofy has been polishing off meat and it's
18:23
Speaker 1: just like, can't you just be nice for a second.
18:26
Speaker 1: They've been giving us all of this food and everything,
18:29
Speaker 1: and it does not move Zoro in the slightest. So
18:37
Speaker 1: let's say I'm trying to find the uh because there's
18:40
Speaker 1: a moment where Minkship expresses our tribe's great fondness fondness
18:46
Speaker 1: towards Utia, so like friendship, but it's minkship and one
18:53
Speaker 1: of them is like laying on Robin's lap and rubbing
18:55
Speaker 1: his head back and forth. And I was just laughing
18:59
Speaker 1: because like Choppers watching this and doesn't seem to feel
19:02
Speaker 1: it's just interesting, with Loofy being like, oh, it's like
19:04
Speaker 1: an island full of choppers. I thought that Chopper might
19:10
Speaker 1: actually like say something about how nice it was to
19:13
Speaker 1: not be the only animal around, or you know, but
19:16
Speaker 1: Chopper doesn't really seem to feel that he is a
19:20
Speaker 1: mink in any way. It's like that camaraderie thing that
19:23
Speaker 1: I was thinking might happen isn't there. And it's not.
19:27
Speaker 1: They're not the same thing. He isn't the result of
19:29
Speaker 1: a devil fruit, you know. So I get that he
19:34
Speaker 1: wouldn't see it the same way. But I thought maybe
19:37
Speaker 1: that even though you know that you're not really like
19:39
Speaker 1: the product of being the same exact type of creature,
19:44
Speaker 1: that the at least the experience of being looking like
19:48
Speaker 1: an animal but functioning like a human being would bond him.
19:52
Speaker 1: And maybe we're just we haven't seen that yet, but
19:54
Speaker 1: I don't know. So this is when Brooke pops in
20:02
Speaker 1: and is very excited to see them, and then we
20:04
Speaker 1: get approached by all of these animals that want to
20:07
Speaker 1: eat him, and he huddles up with everybody and says,
20:14
Speaker 1: I have a bit of a sensitive request, And this
20:20
Speaker 1: is when he tells them, while we're here, please do
20:22
Speaker 1: not mention the land of Wano or Samurai either. Better
20:28
Speaker 1: not risk it. It might cause a fence to the
20:32
Speaker 1: minx or pain. More accurately, it might even make them
20:37
Speaker 1: hate you and Frankie says, okay, but what's the deal?
20:43
Speaker 1: And Lufy says what's wrong with Samurai? And Brooke says
20:47
Speaker 1: there's something about this country you don't know, and at
20:51
Speaker 1: this moment is when he gets attacked, so he does
20:53
Speaker 1: not get a chance to fill them in on all
20:54
Speaker 1: of this. So let's see they're trying to sort of
21:02
Speaker 1: figure out what could have happened, and finally Robin says
21:05
Speaker 1: to Nami, Okay, you've got to tell us the full
21:09
Speaker 1: story of everything that happened, because you all left Dress Rosa.
21:13
Speaker 1: It's been eleven days. We don't know what the fuck
21:15
Speaker 1: is going on, and Namy's like, Okay, I'm gonna tell you.
21:20
Speaker 1: It was sort of an interesting way that they did this,
21:22
Speaker 1: because normally they'll just have a flashback and we get
21:26
Speaker 1: to see the things. It's uh. What they did here
21:31
Speaker 1: was we get a flashback, but we also get the
21:37
Speaker 1: what do you call it? Voiceover of Nami after a
21:43
Speaker 1: thing happens, saying something like and that's not all you know.
21:46
Speaker 1: It's very much being played like she is telling them
21:52
Speaker 1: the story, but only sometimes. And I kind of wished
21:56
Speaker 1: that they had just let her have a voice so
22:00
Speaker 1: over for the whole thing. But anyway, so she says,
22:04
Speaker 1: we were barely off the coast of dress Rosa and
22:06
Speaker 1: the Big Mom pirates appeared on a huge singing ship,
22:11
Speaker 1: and we get to see that indeed the uh the
22:16
Speaker 1: figurehead of their ship. It's singing its own name. I
22:23
Speaker 1: think it's just singing Shippy over and over again. I
22:27
Speaker 1: don't really know what the deal is here, like whether
22:32
Speaker 1: or not it was something else and was enchanted to
22:35
Speaker 1: look like a ship, or if the ship itself was
22:38
Speaker 1: enchanted to be alive. It doesn't feel great either way.
22:43
Speaker 1: I just there are ways in which this could be
22:48
Speaker 1: done that I wouldn't necessarily be horrified by, but to
22:52
Speaker 1: be honest, they're few and far between, and I feel
22:56
Speaker 1: like I don't want to know. I feel like i'd
22:59
Speaker 1: kind of rather not know. Probably, So this is when
23:07
Speaker 1: we get a refresh of these dudes that they fight.
23:11
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get their names again, because they come
23:14
Speaker 1: up as their little UH title cards when they first appear.
23:19
Speaker 1: There's the dude who looks like a lion and I
23:22
Speaker 1: guess maybe is a mink Pickam's Pickam's, Pecom's. And then
23:28
Speaker 1: there's the dude who's inside of an eggshell with a
23:30
Speaker 1: teacup on his head. Baron Tomago and or Tamago. Ah,
23:38
Speaker 1: Baron Tamago with his teacup head and his wil Luigi
23:46
Speaker 1: mustache and his French accent and his cane. This man
23:51
Speaker 1: is very puzzling to me. Uh it's a weird uh. I.
24:01
Speaker 1: You know, guys, you would really think that after all
24:04
Speaker 1: this time, I would have started to understand and appreciate
24:11
Speaker 1: that the theming of what people are dressed like doesn't
24:17
Speaker 1: necessarily go together in this show, that this is not
24:22
Speaker 1: necessarily something that WOULDA concerns himself with in any way
24:25
Speaker 1: at all. But I can't help but try to make
24:30
Speaker 1: sense of it anyway and find a pattern. And it's
24:36
Speaker 1: just really got me sort of thinking about like years
24:41
Speaker 1: ago with there was a co host that is no
24:45
Speaker 1: longer with Unspoiled for a variety of reasons. I covered
24:52
Speaker 1: Twin Peaks, and it was the sort of thing where
24:57
Speaker 1: like the first season I was super into, and then
24:59
Speaker 1: this second season it started to make even less sense
25:04
Speaker 1: than the first. And then they had the like the
25:10
Speaker 1: revival of it that aired probably like at this point
25:15
Speaker 1: five or six years ago, and I just have had
25:21
Speaker 1: to come to the realization, the acceptance of the fact
25:25
Speaker 1: that David Lynch does not speak to me, or at
25:30
Speaker 1: least what I have watched has not been for me.
25:35
Speaker 1: Maybe some of his other stuff, if I watched it,
25:38
Speaker 1: I would be like, Okay, this works disconnected. But what
25:42
Speaker 1: I have seen, I am just a person who wants
25:45
Speaker 1: to make sense out of things. And maybe if I
25:50
Speaker 1: were really like stoned and I watched some of the stuff,
25:54
Speaker 1: I would be like, oh, you know what. I was
25:55
Speaker 1: able to let go of that and let it just
25:57
Speaker 1: be vibes. But when I'm covering something for this podcast,
26:02
Speaker 1: that is particularly difficult to do because the point is
26:05
Speaker 1: for me to be able to articulate how I'm feeling
26:08
Speaker 1: about something, and it's not always possible to do so.
26:15
Speaker 1: All of this to say our little french man Tamago
26:24
Speaker 1: Seraphim is saying Tamago is Japanese for egg. I'm wondering
26:29
Speaker 1: if this is like a kind of a I'm trying
26:34
Speaker 1: to think, like why he'd be French the breakfast thing
26:39
Speaker 1: a cup of tea and an egg? Is there a toast?
26:42
Speaker 1: Am I reaching? Perhaps I'm trying to just let it
26:48
Speaker 1: sort of wash over me and not get fixated on
26:52
Speaker 1: how they go together, and it's working fairly well. I
26:58
Speaker 1: don't really know why, but I do kind of feel
27:02
Speaker 1: like the teacup and saucer and this egg do go together.
27:09
Speaker 1: And I don't know why. I'm genuinely like, why does
27:13
Speaker 1: this not feel like it's that weird? Actually? And it
27:18
Speaker 1: might be that it might be that I'm just like, oh, yeah,
27:20
Speaker 1: breakfast things association, you know what I mean. But anyway,
27:25
Speaker 1: I find him very very compelling in a way that
27:30
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. It feels like I am assigning a
27:34
Speaker 1: whole other thing to this guy due to the fact
27:37
Speaker 1: that I am a foodie. I love tea parties, I
27:41
Speaker 1: love breakfast food, and him being French and there's just
27:45
Speaker 1: an automatic association with like, if you are French, then
27:48
Speaker 1: you know food, which is not necessarily even true, but
27:51
Speaker 1: you know how that stereotype goes. So I find this
27:56
Speaker 1: whole character to be very very distracting because I want
28:04
Speaker 1: him to be a lot more important to things than
28:06
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be, and maybe he will be,
28:10
Speaker 1: maybe I never I wish, but from where I'm sitting
28:12
Speaker 1: right now, it just doesn't even look like that. And
28:14
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Every time he pops up, I'm like, ooh,
28:17
Speaker 1: this guy, you know. So this is when Nami says,
28:23
Speaker 1: but they had company, and we get the uh the
28:28
Speaker 1: swagger forward and she says, a fellow member of the
28:31
Speaker 1: Worst Generation Capone, gang Bedja or Beg, I can't remember.
28:38
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna call him Copone. His like the name
28:43
Speaker 1: altogether is a lot, you know. I think Copone is fine.
28:47
Speaker 1: It's very funny because I understand you guys have explained
28:50
Speaker 1: to me what the deal is with the Worst Generation,
28:54
Speaker 1: so I know that it is not really about age.
28:57
Speaker 1: I get it, but it is extremely funny to see
29:02
Speaker 1: this guy being categorized as being part of the same
29:05
Speaker 1: like Worst Generation as Loofy, because it just does not
29:07
Speaker 1: feel like they should be in anything together. Frank, you
29:12
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So, yeah, it turns out that
29:18
Speaker 1: all of them seemed to be working under Big Mom.
29:22
Speaker 1: Now they came for Caesar, but it wasn't a rescue.
29:26
Speaker 1: In fact, he was terrified. And what we get after
29:32
Speaker 1: this is this kind of bizarre fight sequence where Chopper
29:42
Speaker 1: turns himself into the Big version of him and he
29:49
Speaker 1: uses He takes Caesar, he holds him and stretches him
29:58
Speaker 1: out all some of these cannon balls that are coming
30:03
Speaker 1: towards them are like they're all coming from the same
30:08
Speaker 1: direction and landing in the same like three square foot radius,
30:12
Speaker 1: which doesn't feel likely, but whatever. He catches them with
30:18
Speaker 1: Caesar's body and uses him like he's a piece of
30:23
Speaker 1: fabric or something that he's like opening up and then
30:25
Speaker 1: wrapping it all in. And then he turns and chucks
30:30
Speaker 1: Caesar in into the air toward the other ship like
30:35
Speaker 1: he's going to hit them with all of these cannon
30:39
Speaker 1: balls at once. After he does this, I'm watching this because,
30:45
Speaker 1: like Caesar understandably, is not appreciating, as he puts it,
30:50
Speaker 1: being treated like a bag, you know, being just bundled
30:54
Speaker 1: up and tossed toward his enemies, which is what it
30:58
Speaker 1: looks like. It looks very much leg we are giving
31:02
Speaker 1: you to them, handing you right over. Now. I'm thinking
31:08
Speaker 1: the point of this is going to be all of
31:13
Speaker 1: those the cannonballs will have gained altitude from being thrown
31:18
Speaker 1: wrapped up in him in this way, and then once
31:22
Speaker 1: they've gained altitude, Caesar will somehow like dissipate or let
31:27
Speaker 1: go of them, and they will all fall onto the
31:29
Speaker 1: ship and cause damage in return. No, it is not that.
31:36
Speaker 1: So he's in mid air, Sanji does his like weird
31:41
Speaker 1: sort of cloud walking thing, and he lights his legs
31:45
Speaker 1: up as he does, and with his flaming legs, he
31:50
Speaker 1: kicks Caesar apart. This not only breaks Caesar up and
31:58
Speaker 1: releases the cannon ball, but also lights the cannonballs themselves
32:04
Speaker 1: on fire. And so when they hit the other ship,
32:09
Speaker 1: it takes a whole lot of damage. They clearly were
32:13
Speaker 1: not expecting anybody to to fuck with them on this level. Now,
32:21
Speaker 1: I just want to can anybody give me the name
32:27
Speaker 1: of this ship, in particular that they are on the
32:32
Speaker 1: Singing Ship, because every glimpse I get of it, you guys,
32:37
Speaker 1: it's like a cancel in Gretel's Witch's house where it's
32:42
Speaker 1: made out of candy. It looks like, and you know,
32:45
Speaker 1: we know the whole thing with Big Mama's addiction to candy.
32:51
Speaker 1: But there's also like in the back on the slightly
32:56
Speaker 1: upper deck a what looks like a huge layer cake,
33:01
Speaker 1: like a wedding cake type of thing, and big candy
33:06
Speaker 1: canes that are kind of like peeking over the sides.
33:11
Speaker 1: The reason I'm asking about this is because I have
33:16
Speaker 1: a sort of mental in my You guys know that,
33:20
Speaker 1: like I used to do, costuming was what I like
33:25
Speaker 1: originally went to college for. So I get very preoccupied
33:29
Speaker 1: with what they're wearing in terms of who I would
33:31
Speaker 1: want to cause play. But I also like to think
33:35
Speaker 1: about if I were going to make a little model
33:37
Speaker 1: or something of particular items from this universe, what I
33:43
Speaker 1: would make because I'm a creative person and I paint
33:46
Speaker 1: and I draw, and I make things out of clay
33:48
Speaker 1: and resin and all this stuff, So it is not
33:51
Speaker 1: outside the realm with possibility that I might actually do this.
33:57
Speaker 1: And you all probably remember that Alvida's ship in the
34:07
Speaker 1: very very first episode ever with the Heart the heart
34:13
Speaker 1: like themed ship and the Heart I Jolly Roger really
34:19
Speaker 1: just fucking got me, and I have been saying for
34:24
Speaker 1: a long time, Alvida fat Alvida, I'll clarify, and her
34:32
Speaker 1: original ship would be a big temptation. If I were
34:36
Speaker 1: ever going to do a one piece cosplay, it would
34:39
Speaker 1: be on the top of my list. Now, I don't
34:44
Speaker 1: remember how good a look we've gotten at Big Mama
34:48
Speaker 1: or Big Ma? Is it Big Ma or Big Mama
34:52
Speaker 1: Flying is saying, big Mom, I think you might be right,
34:57
Speaker 1: Sarahim says the Queen Mama Shanter. I'm gonna check and
35:03
Speaker 1: see what we get, Chanter. It's ch which I guess
35:08
Speaker 1: makes sense if it's a singing ship. I'm looking at
35:14
Speaker 1: this from far away, and basically this ship is themed.
35:20
Speaker 1: From the outside, it looks to me like an overflowing
35:28
Speaker 1: ice cream Sunday. I don't know, my friends, this ship
35:34
Speaker 1: might this might be edging out al Vida's ship for
35:42
Speaker 1: my favorite ship. I can not stress enough what a
35:49
Speaker 1: fucking sucker I am. For a candy theme or like
35:54
Speaker 1: a pink frosting and sprinkles kind of theme. I love
36:00
Speaker 1: that imagery if it's like a pink frosted cupcake donuts
36:04
Speaker 1: as well, although I really prefer cupcakes and cakes like
36:10
Speaker 1: I was so excited when I heard that we were
36:12
Speaker 1: going to be getting a cupcake emoji a few years ago.
36:15
Speaker 1: And then we got it and it's got like vanilla
36:17
Speaker 1: icing and I just cannot tell you how disappointed I was.
36:21
Speaker 1: But this there's a bunch of different like illustrations of it.
36:28
Speaker 1: But oh my god, you guys, I just found there
36:31
Speaker 1: is a collector's model that you can build. It's got everything,
36:38
Speaker 1: it's got the cake in the front. Oh my god.
36:42
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. There is a simplicity
36:47
Speaker 1: in Alvida's ship that I do really like. I'm gonna
36:49
Speaker 1: look up Alvida's right now and just compare them, because
36:54
Speaker 1: I like, this is something that's just on my mind.
36:59
Speaker 1: Alvida's got that that uh swan's head. I do really
37:06
Speaker 1: like the design of her ship. Like Big Mom's ship's
37:10
Speaker 1: got a lot going on. So that's the one thing
37:13
Speaker 1: I could say is that, like Alvida's is very cute,
37:18
Speaker 1: see in a way, in a way that's got a
37:20
Speaker 1: sort of old fashioned quality, while Big Mom's is like
37:25
Speaker 1: somebody just took everything they could think of and put
37:29
Speaker 1: it into one ship. It's a very large, sort of
37:33
Speaker 1: bottom heavy, overdone kind of look. So I think if
37:39
Speaker 1: I were going to pick, I'd probably go for Alvida's.
37:42
Speaker 1: But Big Moms is pretty fucking good anyway. Kids. I
37:49
Speaker 1: just really even in the live action I'm looking at it,
37:52
Speaker 1: and the live action I think that version of the
37:55
Speaker 1: ship is not as cute. This is a concept or
37:58
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my bad, this is not the thing.
38:00
Speaker 1: The concept art that they did, I don't love so
38:04
Speaker 1: just saying that anyway, I know that this is not
38:08
Speaker 1: here nor there, but it's the kind of thing that, like,
38:11
Speaker 1: it's rare for me to have a moment in the
38:13
Speaker 1: show where I see something and I'm like I want that,
38:16
Speaker 1: I want that exact thing, and I kind of had
38:19
Speaker 1: that with this ship. Every time I saw another side
38:21
Speaker 1: of it or another angle of it, I was like,
38:24
Speaker 1: this thing is rad as hell? What on earth? And
38:28
Speaker 1: it's so weird because like, since the ship can sing,
38:31
Speaker 1: it's got a face that sings on the figurehead, but
38:34
Speaker 1: then the figurehead itself is wearing this like, uh, there's
38:40
Speaker 1: sort of a layered effect with a lot of different
38:44
Speaker 1: parts of the ship. But there's like a duck, like
38:48
Speaker 1: a rubber ducky type duck that's got a crown on
38:50
Speaker 1: at one point, and it seems to be like sitting
38:56
Speaker 1: above the head that's singing. So it's almost like there's
38:59
Speaker 1: two figurehead. It's weird. But anyway, this is when Nammy
39:07
Speaker 1: earns her keep by coming in on this fight, and
39:12
Speaker 1: she uses her weather controlling abilities to create a bunch
39:17
Speaker 1: of fog and rain, which gives the ship cover to escape,
39:22
Speaker 1: so that they can't just keep shooting rockets at them.
39:26
Speaker 1: I said, rockets, cannonballs, you know whatever. So then we
39:31
Speaker 1: come back to the present and after she has explained
39:33
Speaker 1: all of this, everybody is applauding wildly, and you know,
39:37
Speaker 1: it's a good moment. I think it's Loofy that says,
39:44
Speaker 1: you guys really kick some ass, and Choppers like, yeah, whatever.
39:48
Speaker 1: That doesn't make me blush, And of course he is
39:51
Speaker 1: losing it. Noamy, Oh stop, I know I'm awesome, but please.
39:57
Speaker 1: This reminded me a little bit of the Barbie movie
39:59
Speaker 1: where you know, they're getting awards. I deserve this. And
40:05
Speaker 1: Robin says, so how long did that all take exactly?
40:11
Speaker 1: And she says, yeah, well, Zoo was like really close
40:15
Speaker 1: to us, so we've been here for ten days. And
40:19
Speaker 1: this is when Robin is like, all right, so what's
40:22
Speaker 1: the deal with the city, because whatever happened to it
40:27
Speaker 1: that totaled, it looks like it was really recent. And
40:32
Speaker 1: this is when Wanda chimes in and is like, yeah,
40:35
Speaker 1: you're right. By the time your friends got here, our
40:39
Speaker 1: city had already been destroyed. But if we didn't have
40:43
Speaker 1: them to help us, we would be lost. You know.
40:47
Speaker 1: They fought for us. Also, there was his medical expertise, Choppers,
40:55
Speaker 1: and she says, like we were nearly wiped out, helpless
40:59
Speaker 1: to resis And I'm sorry, guys, Frankie says, I know
41:08
Speaker 1: the wounds are pretty pretty fresh on this whole thing,
41:10
Speaker 1: So if you don't want to talk about it, I'm
41:13
Speaker 1: okay with that. And she says, no, no, no, we're allies,
41:18
Speaker 1: and you guys do need to know. I'm gonna tell you.
41:22
Speaker 1: Just as she is about to do this, of course,
41:25
Speaker 1: we get some little creature that looks like a sloth.
41:30
Speaker 1: He is hanging upside down from the doorframe and he
41:34
Speaker 1: is yelling to all of them that the Duke is
41:37
Speaker 1: awake from his coma. We don't even know who this
41:41
Speaker 1: is yet all of the minks are very very excited.
41:45
Speaker 1: Frankie not Frankie. Chopper is like says, finally, because obviously
41:50
Speaker 1: Chopper has been involved with whatever's been going on with
41:55
Speaker 1: the duke. Duke dog Storm, which is the one that
41:58
Speaker 1: I am assuming in one does like thoughts and memories,
42:03
Speaker 1: the dude who was getting his ass beat, I'm thinking
42:07
Speaker 1: that that's probably who this is. So Chopper grabs his
42:12
Speaker 1: bag and is like all right, let's go do a
42:15
Speaker 1: check up and see what he what he needs. And
42:18
Speaker 1: I love that he calls out for this little goat
42:21
Speaker 1: who is dressed like a doctor. And they are being
42:24
Speaker 1: followed by a girl that looks like she's got a
42:27
Speaker 1: chipmunk's tail, or maybe a squirrel's tail. It looks like
42:30
Speaker 1: a chipmunk because it's striped, but there's possibility that like
42:33
Speaker 1: squirrels in other countries have striped tails. I don't know,
42:36
Speaker 1: but uh, they all head out together. They're obviously all
42:41
Speaker 1: meant to be, like the ones that are handling the
42:43
Speaker 1: medicine in this place. And Wanda explains that he is
42:50
Speaker 1: the ruler of all of zoo and was hurt really
42:54
Speaker 1: badly in the attack, same as our other leader. And
42:57
Speaker 1: Frankie is like, you've got two and she's like, yeah, yes,
43:00
Speaker 1: I know it seems weird to you guys, but we
43:04
Speaker 1: have duke dog Storm king of the day and master
43:09
Speaker 1: cat Viper king of the night. So I guess this
43:15
Speaker 1: is like a nocturnal daylight kind of situation. Maybe I
43:20
Speaker 1: don't know, are dogs like I know the word nocturnal
43:27
Speaker 1: for nighttime animals, but is there a ernal type word
43:32
Speaker 1: for daytime animals. I actually don't know if there's a
43:36
Speaker 1: counterpart to Nocturnal. I have to assume there is, so anyway,
43:41
Speaker 1: that's the end of the first of these two episodes,
43:45
Speaker 1: and then when we get into the second one we
43:48
Speaker 1: get some more of these details. First, we have a
43:51
Speaker 1: very brief check in with Trafalgar Law, who finds his
43:55
Speaker 1: pirate his crew. Beppo gives him a big hug and
43:59
Speaker 1: rub against him the way that the minks do, and
44:02
Speaker 1: it is adorable. There's not really much time spent here,
44:08
Speaker 1: it's just all of them like being happy to see
44:10
Speaker 1: each other. And he says, oh, hey, I heard the news.
44:14
Speaker 1: Nice job beating Dofla Mingo, and Law says, well, it
44:17
Speaker 1: was really straw Hat who did it. And the other guy,
44:21
Speaker 1: Penguin is on his hat says, let's catch up back
44:25
Speaker 1: at the base, Captain, and that's all we see of them.
44:29
Speaker 1: So we go back to the fortress and they are walking.
44:33
Speaker 1: It's sort of interesting because like the fortress looks as
44:36
Speaker 1: if it's made out of like giant tree trunk or something,
44:42
Speaker 1: and there are these fruits inside that give off light.
44:46
Speaker 1: So it's a pretty neat system the way that it's built,
44:51
Speaker 1: and kind of tidy. I would say, even oh my gosh, diurnal,
44:58
Speaker 1: says Sarahphem. I don't like that at all. It doesn't flow.
45:05
Speaker 1: Nocturnal just goes, you know, like diurnal sounds. I don't know.
45:13
Speaker 1: I think it's that nocturnal. The Knox just does enough
45:18
Speaker 1: of the work in that word that you're really focusing
45:20
Speaker 1: on that more than the urnal diurnal. The focus feels
45:24
Speaker 1: like it's on the urnal. And that makes me think
45:25
Speaker 1: of urinals. And also that die makes me think of diarrhea.
45:29
Speaker 1: So we've got diarrhea urinal and I don't like it. Ugh,
45:32
Speaker 1: what a shame. What can you do? So as they're
45:37
Speaker 1: all walking along, at one point they turn, Wanda turns
45:42
Speaker 1: and she's like, was about to talk about the plants,
45:46
Speaker 1: and Loofy isn't there. And then they hear his voice
45:49
Speaker 1: and when they look out one of the windows, they
45:51
Speaker 1: see him hanging off of a huge bunch of grapes.
45:57
Speaker 1: So there's a you know, we had seen these giant
46:00
Speaker 1: pineapples before, and I didn't realize that it was gonna
46:04
Speaker 1: be like all of the fruit here is huge, apparently,
46:08
Speaker 1: and he can just like stick a straw. The the
46:14
Speaker 1: grapes are roughly the size of like a beach ball
46:18
Speaker 1: each grape. So he just dicks a straw and drinks
46:22
Speaker 1: the juice right out of it, and this is rad
46:26
Speaker 1: as hell. I love this so much. Us Up says, dude,
46:31
Speaker 1: we do not have time for this. We had this
46:33
Speaker 1: giant fucking feast. How are you still hungry? And Lufy
46:39
Speaker 1: sort of hangs off the side and oos Up implies
46:43
Speaker 1: that maybe he's drunk. I'm not sure if that's like
46:48
Speaker 1: meant to be a thing that we'll find out is
46:50
Speaker 1: true later. He doesn't seem to be like as the
46:54
Speaker 1: scene goes on, it seems like he's not and he's
46:56
Speaker 1: just being silly loofy. But I did sort of wonder
47:00
Speaker 1: if we're going to find out that's a thing that
47:03
Speaker 1: can happen. And because he stopped drinking quickly enough, it
47:08
Speaker 1: didn't affect him that way, but it can. I don't know.
47:12
Speaker 1: I'll keep my eye on it. So let's see she's talking.
47:19
Speaker 1: Wanda is continuing to tell them about the city and
47:22
Speaker 1: how the place that they saw that's been destroyed was
47:25
Speaker 1: the capital only a few weeks ago. It was vibrant
47:29
Speaker 1: and bustling, and we get to see everybody like down
47:32
Speaker 1: at the market and how everybody really seemed to get
47:36
Speaker 1: along with each other pretty well. There is a point
47:39
Speaker 1: where these two dudes are sort of fighting and they
47:44
Speaker 1: stop and immediately go, who cares, as long as we're healthy,
47:48
Speaker 1: and begin like sort of dancing together. They've decided to
47:51
Speaker 1: just drop their differences, which I don't know. I just
47:56
Speaker 1: sort of thought this was adorable, you know, And then
48:01
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, let's see, I'm trying to find
48:05
Speaker 1: the spot here where the bell begins to ring, and
48:10
Speaker 1: I feel like they've called it the danger bell or
48:13
Speaker 1: something like this. I'm sure that this is a thing
48:19
Speaker 1: that exists and existed in many many places, that there
48:24
Speaker 1: is a signal to let people know a problem is
48:28
Speaker 1: happening and that you should take cover what it reminded
48:31
Speaker 1: me of because of what I'm doing right now in
48:33
Speaker 1: terms of some of my own creative writing stuff, I've
48:36
Speaker 1: been looking into the history of New Bedford, Massachusetts, which
48:40
Speaker 1: was like a really particularly racially diverse community in the
48:45
Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds. I think that Massachusetts abolished slavery in the
48:50
Speaker 1: late seventeen hundreds, so it was one of the earlier
48:53
Speaker 1: places that black people could be free and even though
48:56
Speaker 1: technically on a countrywide like federal level, people could be
49:01
Speaker 1: recaptured and re enslaved. There were a lot of communities
49:06
Speaker 1: that were heavily populated with Quaker abolitionists in Massachusetts and
49:11
Speaker 1: in New Bedford in particular, they had a bell they
49:13
Speaker 1: would ring whenever anybody saw a slave catcher, and they
49:17
Speaker 1: would ring it and everybody who was at risk of
49:22
Speaker 1: being and this means all black people, because even if
49:25
Speaker 1: you were not originally a slave and you were born
49:27
Speaker 1: free in Massachusetts, that didn't matter, because slave catchers could
49:32
Speaker 1: just say you were an escape slave and take you,
49:35
Speaker 1: and a lot of times there was nothing to be
49:37
Speaker 1: fucking done about it. So they would basically use this
49:41
Speaker 1: to organize and team up and hide people. And so
49:45
Speaker 1: a lot of houses had like secret rooms in their
49:48
Speaker 1: cellars or false backs to their closets, and they would
49:51
Speaker 1: hide people until the slave catcher was gone. Except for
49:55
Speaker 1: one time. And I'm just telling this story because it's
49:57
Speaker 1: so good, you guys, but I think his name was
50:01
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Johnson, and he and his wife owned businesses that
50:07
Speaker 1: were very successful, and really she was the one doing
50:09
Speaker 1: the work. He gets a lot of the credit because
50:11
Speaker 1: he was a man, but he was the one who
50:13
Speaker 1: was really really financially irresponsible, as it turns out. But
50:17
Speaker 1: he uh found out that there was a slave catcher
50:20
Speaker 1: in town staying at this like rented place, and him
50:25
Speaker 1: and a group of dudes. Nathaniel was black, and I
50:30
Speaker 1: don't remember if he was a former slave or if
50:32
Speaker 1: he was born free, but he got a group of
50:36
Speaker 1: dudes together and they went and broke this slave catcher's
50:40
Speaker 1: door down, yanked him out onto the street and beat
50:44
Speaker 1: the shit out of him, and they got arrested for
50:50
Speaker 1: doing this to the guy. But then at trial, Nathaniel
50:56
Speaker 1: the black man was found not guilty, which I would
51:02
Speaker 1: have never believed ever. Like that story. When I read it,
51:06
Speaker 1: I was ready for like the really frustrating, depressing ending.
51:09
Speaker 1: And when I found out that he was acquitted and
51:12
Speaker 1: everybody was like, oh, yeah, it was a slave catcher.
51:13
Speaker 1: Fuck that guy, it just warmed my heart so much.
51:17
Speaker 1: And then recently with everything that's been going on with
51:20
Speaker 1: Ice and how communities have really been stepping out and
51:23
Speaker 1: just been like, I don't think so, it has been
51:26
Speaker 1: really reminding me of the stories I was reading about
51:28
Speaker 1: New Bedford in particular, and it's just you know, when
51:32
Speaker 1: we decide that we are going to have each other's backs,
51:35
Speaker 1: it's sort of like unbeatable as long as we hold
51:40
Speaker 1: tight enough and there are enough of us, and there
51:43
Speaker 1: almost always are enough of us if we all were
51:46
Speaker 1: to do it. So anyway, it's just a little delicious
51:52
Speaker 1: morsel for you to think back on. How even in
51:56
Speaker 1: like the eighteen forties, there was a point where white
52:00
Speaker 1: people were like, no, this black man who beat the
52:03
Speaker 1: shit out of a white man, it's fine because that
52:05
Speaker 1: man was a slave catcher and therefore garbage. I love it.
52:08
Speaker 1: I love this for them. So anyway, okay, this is
52:13
Speaker 1: when the overall attack begins. The gates on the front
52:19
Speaker 1: of their city are like caving in under repeated barrages,
52:24
Speaker 1: and it feels like somebody has got this massive battering
52:27
Speaker 1: ram and the gates are knocked off their hinges, which
52:30
Speaker 1: we did eventually see, or I say eventually we did
52:35
Speaker 1: see earlier as they came in looking at how like
52:38
Speaker 1: the hinges had been torn out and the gates were
52:40
Speaker 1: on the ground, and you see this massive shadow fill
52:45
Speaker 1: up the entire gateway, And all I could think was,
52:50
Speaker 1: like they built these gates to the exact specifications to
52:55
Speaker 1: showcase this creature, because if they had built it's lower,
53:01
Speaker 1: this thing could probably have literally stepped right over them,
53:05
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, this little monkey guy is like
53:09
Speaker 1: frantic about ringing the bell and trying to warn everybody
53:13
Speaker 1: as best he can, but it's clear like they are
53:16
Speaker 1: going to suffer a lot of casualties because whoever is
53:19
Speaker 1: about to come in here does not give a fuck,
53:22
Speaker 1: and that it turns out, is Jack. We also get
53:29
Speaker 1: like that she's talking about how they invaded the city
53:33
Speaker 1: and that Zunesha, the elephant whose back they are all on,
53:42
Speaker 1: could feel all the disruption, and we get this weird
53:46
Speaker 1: illustration of Zunesha like screeching and the smoke coming out
53:53
Speaker 1: of or her mouth around her front. It's a weird
53:58
Speaker 1: like I wasn't sure where the smoke was meant to
54:00
Speaker 1: be coming from or if that was supposed to be
54:02
Speaker 1: like directly coming out of her skin. I don't know.
54:08
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is when we find out that they
54:11
Speaker 1: were looking for a ninja. At one point, Jim Rummy
54:16
Speaker 1: calls him a samurai, and the other dude whose name
54:21
Speaker 1: I am not remembering, he makes fun of her for
54:24
Speaker 1: calling him a samurai and She's like, it's the same thing,
54:27
Speaker 1: basically whatever. Everybody knows what I mean. And I wondered
54:30
Speaker 1: if that was like a sort of inside joke of
54:34
Speaker 1: some kind. It felt like very pointed in a way
54:37
Speaker 1: that I was wondering what that was about. And Jack
54:42
Speaker 1: the drought, that's what he is. How did he earn
54:46
Speaker 1: that title? You may ask. Every nation he passes through
54:50
Speaker 1: is left so barren. It looks like they suffered a drought.
54:55
Speaker 1: And we wouldn't want your country to meet such a
54:58
Speaker 1: cruel fate. So tell us where Riiso is, or your
55:04
Speaker 1: children won't have a future anymore. And they do not
55:10
Speaker 1: know who he is talking about, and it does not
55:14
Speaker 1: seem as if any of these guys actually believe their denials.
55:19
Speaker 1: And we get a moment of them being like kids,
55:22
Speaker 1: children and women who cares kill them all. And they
55:26
Speaker 1: go up to a little kid who is sort of
55:30
Speaker 1: raccoonish looking type, and they have fucked with the wrong
55:35
Speaker 1: one because they put their hand on him and they
55:38
Speaker 1: get sent flying backward and electrocuted. And this is when
55:45
Speaker 1: we find out with the thing with their fur, and
55:49
Speaker 1: that all of this this is a power that like
55:52
Speaker 1: apparently all the mink have so people come in here
55:55
Speaker 1: really thinking that they're going to have an easy time
55:57
Speaker 1: of it, but even little kids know how to use
56:00
Speaker 1: this ability and that it is not as easy as
56:03
Speaker 1: folks expect to take these folks down. And it was fun.
56:08
Speaker 1: I liked it. I liked seeing this little kid just
56:10
Speaker 1: be like, you know what, no fuck you. And then
56:12
Speaker 1: his mom also joins in the fight, and the pirates
56:16
Speaker 1: are like laid out, all like twitching and still like,
56:22
Speaker 1: you know, the shock of the electrocution is lasting quite
56:30
Speaker 1: a long time after they've been touched. I thought that
56:33
Speaker 1: was interesting. At one point, the dude gets the one
56:39
Speaker 1: who is still continuing to tremble with shock. He gets
56:43
Speaker 1: stomped on by Jack, who says, what are you idiots doing?
56:51
Speaker 1: And I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be
56:53
Speaker 1: that I'm putting him out of his misery, that I'm
56:55
Speaker 1: literally killing this guy, or if it's supposed to be
56:58
Speaker 1: that like stomping on him because I'm so big I
57:02
Speaker 1: can absorb that electricity and it doesn't affect me, and
57:06
Speaker 1: I'm saving him, you know, if that was what it was.
57:12
Speaker 1: But you know, there is an attempt to mitigate all
57:16
Speaker 1: of this and be like you guys can just search
57:18
Speaker 1: and see if you can find him, and he isn't here,
57:21
Speaker 1: and Jack decides that by search, you mean I knock
57:26
Speaker 1: all your buildings down so that I can just see
57:28
Speaker 1: inside all of them, right, And so that is what
57:31
Speaker 1: he does, and Wanda says, we don't know how he
57:35
Speaker 1: managed to make his way to our country, or why
57:39
Speaker 1: he even thought that Raiso was here in the first place.
57:44
Speaker 1: And it's hard for me to tell whether or not
57:48
Speaker 1: they really don't know who Raiso is or if they're
57:52
Speaker 1: just protecting somebody I genuinely couldn't tell. It feels like
57:57
Speaker 1: they genuinely don't know who he is. But it may
58:01
Speaker 1: be that we find out actually he was here this
58:04
Speaker 1: whole time, and you know, I don't know. Long story short, though,
58:12
Speaker 1: the like whole thing ends with them starting because they're
58:19
Speaker 1: heading towards the Duke as all of this is being told.
58:23
Speaker 1: They are journeying out to see the guy who has recovered,
58:27
Speaker 1: and this is when Loofy blurts out, it's really too
58:33
Speaker 1: bad that our Samurai friends aren't here to see this,
58:37
Speaker 1: because they would think it was so cool. And that
58:41
Speaker 1: is how the episode ends. Is Wanda looking horrified and
58:46
Speaker 1: everybody else looking upset. So what else is new fucking
58:51
Speaker 1: loofy him smiling, saying a thing while everybody around him
58:56
Speaker 1: claps their hand to their face, and it's just like,
58:58
Speaker 1: I cannot believe he fucking said that, And I forgot that.
59:04
Speaker 1: Like right before he says that, Brooke repeats his warning
59:10
Speaker 1: if they find out that Kinimon has a possible connection
59:13
Speaker 1: to this tragedy, it could be a complete disaster, and
59:16
Speaker 1: he's thinking that, but right before he actually said out
59:20
Speaker 1: loud to Frankie, like remember what I said, don't say
59:24
Speaker 1: any of those words. So it is extra perfect when
59:29
Speaker 1: Lufy says, what a bummer? Where's that ninja? From Juana?
59:34
Speaker 1: Kinimon wanted to see him write what a shame? And
59:38
Speaker 1: I had completely like missed the fact that what Brook
59:42
Speaker 1: says and what Lufy's sisters that close together. So yeah,
59:47
Speaker 1: so that's the end of the episode, and I just
59:51
Speaker 1: wanted to mention I'm so sorry, Florian, because I just
59:54
Speaker 1: saw before recording that you had messaged me, and I
59:58
Speaker 1: think Florian was telling me about like the uh, seven
1:00:02
Speaker 1: fifty six through seven fifty seven and then seven fifty
1:00:05
Speaker 1: eight through seven sixty are coming up. We could break
1:00:07
Speaker 1: it down differently and do three episodes and then two.
1:00:11
Speaker 1: I haven't looked at either, and so apologies on just
1:00:19
Speaker 1: doing it the way that it was originally done. I
1:00:21
Speaker 1: didn't even see your message in time, so I'll just
1:00:25
Speaker 1: be doing three next time. But I just wanted to
1:00:28
Speaker 1: let you know that I did see it, but not
1:00:31
Speaker 1: until it was too late. So next time it'll be
1:00:34
Speaker 1: three episodes. Friends. Yeah, I'm having fun with this so far.
1:00:39
Speaker 1: It's just very weird, but you know, it's weird in
1:00:42
Speaker 1: a It's weird in a way that I kind of
1:00:47
Speaker 1: like in comparison to the weirdness of Dress Rosa, because
1:00:49
Speaker 1: you know, the whole thing with like toys living amongst them.
1:00:53
Speaker 1: I was just flabbergasted. And it takes a long time
1:00:58
Speaker 1: before we actually find out what the hell is going on,
1:01:01
Speaker 1: whereas here it's very weird. But I also we get
1:01:04
Speaker 1: to find out what's happening quickly, and I like that.
1:01:06
Speaker 1: I appreciate that it doesn't feel like that part's necessarily
1:01:09
Speaker 1: going to be super drawn out. Maybe there's another whole
1:01:12
Speaker 1: aspect that will be super drawn out. I don't know,
1:01:13
Speaker 1: we'll see, but I remain optimistic, all right, everybody, I
1:01:19
Speaker 1: will see you on Thursday with a new episode, and
1:01:22
Speaker 1: until then, to the Loo, motherfuckers. That was an unspoiled
1:01:55
Speaker 1: network podcast. Yeah,
