Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
0:09
Speaker 1: covering one Piece episodes six seventy six through six seventy eight.
0:15
Speaker 1: The operation failed Uslon, the Hero dies, the Legend is back,
0:21
Speaker 1: Kiros all Out Blow Hello wel and the Firefish strikes
0:27
Speaker 1: the Flare Flare Fruit power returns in these episodes. So
0:35
Speaker 1: many things happen so close together, you guys. I really
0:41
Speaker 1: didn't think that within the same recording I was going
0:45
Speaker 1: to get to talk about people being turned from toys
0:48
Speaker 1: back into humans and the flare Flare fruit being one,
0:52
Speaker 1: because those both seemed very significant, and I am surprised
0:57
Speaker 1: they weren't like separated from me other a little bit
1:00
Speaker 1: more considering how much we love drawing things out. Welcome
1:06
Speaker 1: to spoil Me, Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha.
1:27
Speaker 1: Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode.
1:31
Speaker 1: And Florian, I'm realizing that you sent me a message
1:36
Speaker 1: about the slots that I was supposed to book, and
1:39
Speaker 1: I did book them, but I never let you know
1:41
Speaker 1: that I booked them, So sorry for leaving you hanging
1:44
Speaker 1: like that. That was my bad, and I will send
1:46
Speaker 1: you a screenshot of all of them very shortly. Yeah, y'all,
1:52
Speaker 1: this section is wild, how much stuff is packed together.
1:57
Speaker 1: I never thought that we were going to get all
2:00
Speaker 1: of these things so like on top of each other
2:05
Speaker 1: the way that we have. And you know, I don't
2:08
Speaker 1: get me wrong, delighted, very excited to talk about all
2:12
Speaker 1: the things, but it just isn't usually how things work
2:16
Speaker 1: with this show. So you know, I feel that my
2:21
Speaker 1: surprise can be pardoned due to that, and I am
2:25
Speaker 1: curious about how everybody else felt about it as well.
2:28
Speaker 1: When they were first watching this, did you think that
2:30
Speaker 1: all of these things were going to occur like back
2:32
Speaker 1: to back the way that they do. I am really like,
2:40
Speaker 1: I'm having so much trouble, and I'm really trying to
2:43
Speaker 1: keep in mind that this is not the deal in
2:46
Speaker 1: the manga, so technically I just kind of want to
2:49
Speaker 1: say it's not canon. But the fact that we're trying
2:55
Speaker 1: to like bring back some we're trying to redeem Oosop
3:01
Speaker 1: after everything, you guys, it just upset me so much
3:06
Speaker 1: the way that he was portrayed that now I don't
3:09
Speaker 1: have a lot of interest in seeing redemption because I'm
3:13
Speaker 1: just sort of like, this dude, literally, like the amount
3:18
Speaker 1: of convincing that it took to get him to turn
3:22
Speaker 1: around and not abandon his friends. He ultimately did, and
3:27
Speaker 1: I know that's really what I should be focusing on,
3:31
Speaker 1: but I'm sorry, it just took so much. I feel
3:37
Speaker 1: like I I just feel a little bit like, does
3:46
Speaker 1: he really deserve to get credit after all this, you know,
3:50
Speaker 1: and the way that he is going to be hyped up?
3:53
Speaker 1: I think that's like, I think that's really it. People
3:56
Speaker 1: are literally treating him now like he is some kind
3:59
Speaker 1: of god when he came within a hair's breath of
4:04
Speaker 1: just running off and saving his own ass. And there
4:07
Speaker 1: are times where overcoming cowardice feels like a real victory
4:13
Speaker 1: and real character growth, and then there are times where
4:17
Speaker 1: it just sort of feels like you were given no
4:22
Speaker 1: other option really than to be a hero, And does
4:25
Speaker 1: that count? Like do you get credit for that? I
4:29
Speaker 1: just sort of I'm just sort of not impressed. I
4:33
Speaker 1: guess is where I come down on this whole thing.
4:37
Speaker 1: Seraphim has a comment about the last episode and says,
4:40
Speaker 1: from last week, pretty sure you got the right intent
4:43
Speaker 1: from the Kiros backstory. He was someone who wasn't evil,
4:46
Speaker 1: but needed to learn self control, and that was what
4:49
Speaker 1: the King was trying to teach him. Okay, that's fair,
4:54
Speaker 1: So all right, let's begin, Like, because we got so
4:57
Speaker 1: much to fit in here, the first thing that I
5:00
Speaker 1: want to talk about is the remainder of Kiros's story,
5:04
Speaker 1: because we saw up until the point when the attack
5:08
Speaker 1: came and there were all those fires everywhere and the
5:12
Speaker 1: king had been already sort of taken prisoner. He first
5:17
Speaker 1: was like, does it count as being framed if you
5:21
Speaker 1: actually did it, even if you did it under duress? Like,
5:29
Speaker 1: is that he's definitely been set up? One could easily
5:32
Speaker 1: use set up, But I am unsure whether framed works here.
5:37
Speaker 1: I feel like framed isn't the word. I feel like
5:39
Speaker 1: that is purely for when you make it look like
5:42
Speaker 1: somebody did something they absolutely didn't do or have anything
5:45
Speaker 1: to do with. So all right, we see him in
5:51
Speaker 1: the flashback looking out onto the flames, and then eventually,
5:57
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm so sorry. I guess Sarah was
6:00
Speaker 1: in the chat and says he was exhorted into doing
6:02
Speaker 1: it and then extorted. However, it's spleed, and I know
6:06
Speaker 1: that it was a type of ver spelled, but it's
6:08
Speaker 1: sbl eeed, and it's extremely funny to me. I have
6:15
Speaker 1: a little bit of a weakness for words being like
6:17
Speaker 1: slightly mispronounced. It's just always funny. So yeah, that got
6:21
Speaker 1: to me a little bit here. I'm not gonna lie.
6:24
Speaker 1: So the uh, the way that this worked is that
6:29
Speaker 1: he went right up to the palace to try and
6:32
Speaker 1: speak to King Riku. And I recognize that I'm really
6:36
Speaker 1: not supposed to ask a lot of questions, but I
6:41
Speaker 1: am really curious if kiros like has completely fallen off
6:48
Speaker 1: the map in terms of his notoriety, because it seemed
6:50
Speaker 1: like he was pretty famous, and it didn't occur to
6:54
Speaker 1: me to question until now the fact that maybe people
7:00
Speaker 1: would be watching him and where he lives and where
7:02
Speaker 1: he's going, and that perhaps Violet being or not Violet
7:08
Speaker 1: that's his daughter, well, no, that's his sister in law.
7:14
Speaker 1: I guess, right, Scarlet, that maybe, like if people were
7:21
Speaker 1: keeping enough of an eye on him and watching his movements,
7:24
Speaker 1: like if I'm thinking Papa Razzi, you know that perhaps
7:27
Speaker 1: somebody would spy the fact that Scarlet wasn't actually dead,
7:33
Speaker 1: because you know, they like I think you were meant
7:35
Speaker 1: to believe that they're in a very very remote area.
7:39
Speaker 1: So probably it's fine, But I did sort of consider like,
7:43
Speaker 1: is anybody uh, like you know, he would be probably
7:47
Speaker 1: a pretty eligible bachelor. I feel like I could see
7:50
Speaker 1: a lot of women sort of being like, yo, what
7:52
Speaker 1: are you doing later and kind of like seeing what
7:55
Speaker 1: his deal is and where he lives. Surprise, Princess is
7:58
Speaker 1: still alive. So he goes to the palace and the
8:10
Speaker 1: whole crew is already there as sinister as possible. He
8:16
Speaker 1: is told to come in and see the new king,
8:22
Speaker 1: and Monete says, we need you to come on your
8:24
Speaker 1: own and also tries him to give up his sword,
8:28
Speaker 1: to which he is like, lol, that is absolutely never
8:30
Speaker 1: going to happen. And when he goes into the room,
8:38
Speaker 1: the king is bleeding and on his side. It's a
8:42
Speaker 1: bad scene. Kids. Things do not look good, and he
8:48
Speaker 1: is faced with like a group of people that he
8:53
Speaker 1: wants to be able to just straight up fight, but
8:55
Speaker 1: he is just so out of his depth on with
9:00
Speaker 1: the I don't know if, like you guys know, when
9:05
Speaker 1: we first started this whole thing, my assumption with the
9:07
Speaker 1: tournament was that we weren't going to be letting people
9:09
Speaker 1: who had devil fruit powers into the tournament at all.
9:15
Speaker 1: I was quickly disabused of that, and I'm sort of
9:19
Speaker 1: wondering if that's a special circumstance. Were the people who
9:24
Speaker 1: were normally put into the Colosseum able to have devil
9:28
Speaker 1: fruit powers, I kind of think that there wouldn't be
9:31
Speaker 1: a lot of sport to it, but there would also
9:34
Speaker 1: be a great spectacle to it, and maybe that, like
9:38
Speaker 1: the point of the Colosseum then is just different than
9:41
Speaker 1: it is now. Now. It's meant to be about the
9:44
Speaker 1: spectacle and the just like bread and Circuses sort of vibes, right,
9:52
Speaker 1: we're just throwing these scraps out to the masses to
9:57
Speaker 1: deflate their bloodlust a little bit, really the energy. But
10:03
Speaker 1: in the time when Kiros was fighting, the whole point
10:06
Speaker 1: of the Colosseum was meant to be much more the
10:11
Speaker 1: perfection of skill and the like honor behind the fight
10:16
Speaker 1: and all of that. So I have to assume that
10:21
Speaker 1: based on that as the motive, we probably weren't allowing
10:26
Speaker 1: devil fruit power users into the arena, because like, what
10:30
Speaker 1: are you even supposed to do against that? At the
10:33
Speaker 1: same time, though, devil fruit powers are out there, and
10:36
Speaker 1: if you want to be a really good fighter going
10:38
Speaker 1: up against people who have those abilities, isn't a terrible
10:41
Speaker 1: way to train. I don't know. I really don't know
10:44
Speaker 1: how I feel about it. But my assumption here is
10:49
Speaker 1: that he is in a room surrounded by people who
10:51
Speaker 1: are not like they are also far above his level,
10:56
Speaker 1: and he doesn't know it yet, and even if he
10:59
Speaker 1: did know, based on what we see of Kiros's personality,
11:02
Speaker 1: it just wouldn't matter. He would do what he does anyway.
11:07
Speaker 1: So we have him grabbed up by a bunch of
11:11
Speaker 1: dudes who are it's such a weird thing, you guys,
11:16
Speaker 1: because I don't know if this is supposed to be
11:20
Speaker 1: a bit of a culture thing. But these dudes lock
11:24
Speaker 1: him in manacles, and Kiros is thinking, well, why did
11:29
Speaker 1: you guys do this? I don't have devil fruit powers
11:31
Speaker 1: and they're just like no, but they're regular manacles that
11:34
Speaker 1: also do regular manical things, which is what we need
11:36
Speaker 1: right now. But when these guys who lock him up
11:39
Speaker 1: back away, they all rub their fist under their chin
11:44
Speaker 1: in the same, like similar motion that I don't know
11:47
Speaker 1: if that's like something that's supposed to convey on trustworthiness
11:52
Speaker 1: or something, but it was just such a specific movement
11:55
Speaker 1: that I really was sort of does that mean something
11:58
Speaker 1: what is that? And so he is left to face
12:04
Speaker 1: Do Flamingo in this state, and once he sees Riku
12:10
Speaker 1: and the way that he has been treated, he completely
12:15
Speaker 1: loses his shit. And the way it's animated, it really
12:19
Speaker 1: took a second for me to understand what was happening
12:22
Speaker 1: because it has him. It's like the black screen and
12:26
Speaker 1: then you see like the red slash for the blade.
12:30
Speaker 1: You see this object get parted into two pieces, but
12:36
Speaker 1: it's like there's no The way it's animated is really bloodless,
12:42
Speaker 1: which is weird because this show doesn't tend to shy
12:45
Speaker 1: away from blood. It's like there's little fragments that fly
12:49
Speaker 1: apart from the spot where it's been cut in half.
12:53
Speaker 1: But the fragments are more bluish than anything, and they
12:56
Speaker 1: almost look like broken pieces, like if you piece of
13:00
Speaker 1: porcelain or something. It is not giving a sliced leg
13:05
Speaker 1: at all. And so I really think that I can
13:11
Speaker 1: be forgiven for not fully getting what it was that
13:13
Speaker 1: was happening here because I did not I was not
13:17
Speaker 1: seeing it. And even when he's flying through the air
13:20
Speaker 1: at Do Flamingo with only one leg, the illustration could
13:25
Speaker 1: simply be that one of his legs is so far
13:27
Speaker 1: out behind him that to draw it in perspective, you
13:31
Speaker 1: just can't see his foot in this position, which is
13:34
Speaker 1: what I thought was happening. It's not until do Flamingo says,
13:38
Speaker 1: crazy bastard cut off his own leg. But again, there's
13:43
Speaker 1: no blood, and it's just weird. How okay with blood
13:47
Speaker 1: this show often is. It's not like they go real
13:50
Speaker 1: real heavy on it or anything. But you guys, remember,
13:53
Speaker 1: way back in the beginning of me covering the show,
13:55
Speaker 1: I was surprised that there was any because so many
13:58
Speaker 1: shows don't really do that almost at all, unless they're tiny,
14:02
Speaker 1: like facial wounds, to just indicate that somebody has been
14:04
Speaker 1: in a fight, things like that. So I guess what
14:09
Speaker 1: the point is of doing it this way is just
14:11
Speaker 1: to make it seem like there would be some way
14:15
Speaker 1: for him to keep fighting despite what he just did
14:18
Speaker 1: to himself. But like, you do that, and you do
14:23
Speaker 1: it on the correct leg and that's your artery and
14:26
Speaker 1: you're just gonna drop dead. So I wouldn't advise it. Friends,
14:31
Speaker 1: he could have cut his own foot off, that probably
14:36
Speaker 1: would have managed a little bit better, but he cut
14:40
Speaker 1: off like mid thigh, and I just think that was excessive.
14:44
Speaker 1: There was no need to go that way. You didn't
14:46
Speaker 1: have to cut that far up your leg, sir. And
14:49
Speaker 1: as he's flying through the air toward do Flamingo, Sugar
14:55
Speaker 1: steps in, puts out a hand and turns him into
15:00
Speaker 1: the toy soldier with one leg. You know. Setting aside
15:07
Speaker 1: my feelings on Sugar's powers, I do have to mention
15:13
Speaker 1: what a creepy little girl she is guys, like, truly
15:19
Speaker 1: unnerving the way that she seems to have so little
15:23
Speaker 1: reaction to things. But then, like you know, earlier on,
15:27
Speaker 1: I was sort of thinking, it doesn't even seem like
15:29
Speaker 1: she really wants to be doing this. Maybe we can
15:31
Speaker 1: just convince her to stop and she'll say okay and
15:34
Speaker 1: not care. But I've come to realize that she isn't
15:40
Speaker 1: doing this because she has nothing better to do. She
15:43
Speaker 1: wants to be doing this. It's just that she doesn't
15:46
Speaker 1: express her interest or excitement in any way that I'm
15:49
Speaker 1: familiar with. She keeps such a lid on her emotions
15:54
Speaker 1: and reactions to things, or perhaps she just doesn't have
15:57
Speaker 1: that many like strong emotions or reactions to things, But
16:01
Speaker 1: either way, like just the way that she like peeks
16:05
Speaker 1: out and says, get him, guys, And that's like the
16:10
Speaker 1: full I mean, I might be even adding a little
16:12
Speaker 1: bit more emotion than the way she said it. Get him, guys.
16:16
Speaker 1: It's like so flat and nothing, and even in the
16:20
Speaker 1: present when she's like yelling at Trouble to eat shit
16:25
Speaker 1: and die, basically she says it with so little feeling that,
16:29
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think I just like misunderstood her character
16:34
Speaker 1: because she keeps everything kind of under a lid, you know, which,
16:42
Speaker 1: because she's a kid, is extra creepy. The fact that,
16:47
Speaker 1: like anybody who is involved in this kind of like
16:51
Speaker 1: monstrous shit, putting a damper on their emotions would make sense.
16:57
Speaker 1: But a child, we know that, Like she's not as
17:00
Speaker 1: like a child. She actually isn't, but she looks like one.
17:04
Speaker 1: She has the voice of one, and so it just
17:06
Speaker 1: doesn't feel appropriate that somebody this young should have this
17:10
Speaker 1: kind of mastery over their emotions, you know what I'm saying.
17:13
Speaker 1: So it's just really upsetting. I don't like it. Sarahim
17:20
Speaker 1: says this is one piece I could fully buy, Oda,
17:23
Speaker 1: saying Kiros is just so epic. He could clench his
17:26
Speaker 1: leg muscles hard enough to restrict the blood flow in
17:29
Speaker 1: the stump, though he also got toyfied fast enough. I
17:32
Speaker 1: buy him not bleeding out. I definitely buy him not
17:35
Speaker 1: bleeding out. But there would be blood when he leaped
17:39
Speaker 1: toward do Flamingo, there would be a lot of blood
17:42
Speaker 1: around him, like in that animation. It should be pouring
17:47
Speaker 1: out of his leg, and it is absolutely there's nothing.
17:51
Speaker 1: There's not even a couple drops flying like we see
17:53
Speaker 1: most of the time. So it's just funny because you know,
17:57
Speaker 1: people will be hit with something that would ever cause
18:00
Speaker 1: them to bleed, but we'll get animation with lots of
18:03
Speaker 1: blood droplets, and then this which should have the most
18:06
Speaker 1: blood of any injury we've seen aside from maybe ace,
18:10
Speaker 1: and there's no blood whatsoever. So he gets turned into
18:16
Speaker 1: this toy soldier, but evidently she did not give him
18:22
Speaker 1: a contract here, and so he isn't under their command
18:27
Speaker 1: in any way. And also it's like he has to
18:31
Speaker 1: find out over the course of this episode that everybody
18:35
Speaker 1: has forgotten about him because he didn't know that's what
18:37
Speaker 1: was going to happen. It's sort of funny because, like
18:42
Speaker 1: I want to say that people later on would have
18:45
Speaker 1: the advantage of at least knowing. Folks would forget about them,
18:48
Speaker 1: but they don't know that this is happening, so they
18:51
Speaker 1: wouldn't have that advantage either. Everybody is just going to
18:55
Speaker 1: be shocked at the fact that they are not remembered,
18:57
Speaker 1: which is so tragic, you guys. I know that this
19:00
Speaker 1: gets undone quite shortly at this point, but I just
19:05
Speaker 1: can't imagine coming back into a world after undergoing this
19:11
Speaker 1: trauma of being transformed in the first place, and finding
19:14
Speaker 1: out that nobody even remembers you at all. That just
19:19
Speaker 1: is so awful. Like the fact that the toys aren't
19:23
Speaker 1: simply left in the factory to work, but that they
19:26
Speaker 1: are made to go out into the world and just
19:28
Speaker 1: be like regular citizens. I really don't I'm curious, you guys.
19:37
Speaker 1: Maybe we got an explanation and I missed it, or
19:40
Speaker 1: maybe we don't get an explanation at all, because we're
19:42
Speaker 1: not really supposed to ask questions. What did people think
19:50
Speaker 1: about how many toys suddenly began turning up? You know,
19:56
Speaker 1: My original question had been before I understood the way
19:59
Speaker 1: that this worked with the memory thing, was like, aren't
20:03
Speaker 1: people wondering where their loved ones are disappearing to? But
20:08
Speaker 1: now we have established that they don't remember them. It's
20:12
Speaker 1: still difficult because you would have a whole room and
20:15
Speaker 1: photos and property that had belonged to somebody, like you know,
20:19
Speaker 1: Scarlett and Rebecca lived in a very small house that
20:23
Speaker 1: I have to assume also included a lot of property
20:27
Speaker 1: that had belonged to her father. And you're not noticing
20:31
Speaker 1: that this is you know what I'm saying. But like,
20:34
Speaker 1: setting all that aside, the memory thing doesn't affect that
20:39
Speaker 1: you as a person living undress. Rosa have never seen
20:44
Speaker 1: a toy moving around and talking and being a person before.
20:50
Speaker 1: I really, really really want to know how we normalized
20:56
Speaker 1: the toys being part of the community in this universe,
21:00
Speaker 1: because when we first arrive here, I was so mystified
21:06
Speaker 1: at the way that all this worked, and it seemed
21:08
Speaker 1: like there were people who had like full on relationships
21:11
Speaker 1: with toys and stuff, which I must have misunderstood because
21:16
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like that's possible because they're brought to
21:19
Speaker 1: work fifty percent of the time and as far as
21:23
Speaker 1: I know, they're not given any wage, So there's no
21:25
Speaker 1: way to explain oh, I have a job, babe to
21:27
Speaker 1: people when you're not getting paid at all. And when
21:31
Speaker 1: I saw like little toys versus larger toys. I thought
21:34
Speaker 1: that this was a signal of like, we've got adults
21:37
Speaker 1: and we've got like their offspring, and it seems like
21:39
Speaker 1: that wasn't true either, And I think maybe this is
21:43
Speaker 1: also like partially a product of the animation and the
21:45
Speaker 1: way that certain things are depicted. But I just want
21:49
Speaker 1: to know how the heck they convinced everybody that this
21:54
Speaker 1: was a totally normal way to live and yeah, we've
21:57
Speaker 1: just got toys that are friends that come with us places,
22:00
Speaker 1: just live in cities like regular people, like what Sarah
22:07
Speaker 1: Fhim says. Given the toy started showing up at the
22:09
Speaker 1: same time Dophie took over, he likely just gave some
22:11
Speaker 1: BS cover story about how he was doing this and
22:14
Speaker 1: why it's a good thing. He likely did, but we
22:16
Speaker 1: don't see that, and I think that's kind of a
22:19
Speaker 1: weird thing to overlook in the telling of this story,
22:23
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's just treated as if like, oh,
22:26
Speaker 1: it's always been this way, and then we find out like, no,
22:29
Speaker 1: this is a pretty recent thing. Actually, it's not until
22:33
Speaker 1: do Flamingo came in here that this was how things worked.
22:36
Speaker 1: And it's like the memory thing it simultaneously brainwashes everyone
22:43
Speaker 1: into thinking that this is fine, which I could accept
22:47
Speaker 1: if we weren't already giving Sugar three fucking superpowers. But
22:51
Speaker 1: I will not give an additional fourth superpower of making
22:55
Speaker 1: things seem normal to people. That's too many powers for her.
22:58
Speaker 1: One devil Fruit can't do it, And like, and what
23:04
Speaker 1: even do you say? What is your cover story? Because
23:07
Speaker 1: toys that can talk and walk around This isn't like
23:11
Speaker 1: something that's rare but known. This is something nobody has
23:15
Speaker 1: ever heard of or seen before in their lives. So
23:18
Speaker 1: I really if there is a cover story, I feel
23:21
Speaker 1: like that should have been part of what we hear.
23:24
Speaker 1: And he could even talk about like frame it is
23:27
Speaker 1: him being heroic, Like there was an evil witch that
23:29
Speaker 1: turned everybody into toys and they had nowhere to go,
23:32
Speaker 1: and I took them in. You could frame it as like,
23:34
Speaker 1: you know, I'm the hero here, but instead it's just like, oh, yeah,
23:40
Speaker 1: this is all something that we all accept as normal
23:42
Speaker 1: and it's just been this way, and then you find
23:44
Speaker 1: out like, no, it hasn't just been this way, and
23:48
Speaker 1: like everybody's just rolled with it for this long for
23:51
Speaker 1: some reason. So yeah, eventually we have the uh Kiros
23:57
Speaker 1: realizing that nobody remembers him, and then we have him
24:01
Speaker 1: like wandering around and he it seems like he just
24:04
Speaker 1: sort of stumbles across his wife in the alley and
24:10
Speaker 1: he witnesses her murder, and it's really like the scene
24:19
Speaker 1: the voice actor who plays him is doing a really
24:24
Speaker 1: good job of like the terrible sobbing of how all
24:28
Speaker 1: this happened and saying like this is hell and I
24:34
Speaker 1: like these ten arms of mine, I can't even feel
24:37
Speaker 1: your warmth one last time. It's like a good line,
24:40
Speaker 1: but the scene of him actually being a toy soldier
24:43
Speaker 1: is so like, goofy. It took me. It didn't really,
24:47
Speaker 1: it took me out of it. I couldn't fully like
24:50
Speaker 1: let myself feel in this scene because I was so distracted. Well,
24:54
Speaker 1: we come back to the present and he asks Louf,
25:00
Speaker 1: are all your friends? Are all the straw hats pirates?
25:05
Speaker 1: And when Luviy's like, is that going to be a problem,
25:07
Speaker 1: he says, no, I'm a criminal too, and I'm grateful
25:09
Speaker 1: that we share a common goal. So we jump back
25:14
Speaker 1: to the Colosseum here and we're seeing that like there's
25:18
Speaker 1: a massive crack that's beginning to appear under the Colosseum
25:24
Speaker 1: because of these fighters who have insane powers. And it
25:28
Speaker 1: turns out that it's Burgess who is doing this, and
25:31
Speaker 1: he's also like injuring people up in the stands who
25:35
Speaker 1: are getting very irritated and not rooting for him anymore
25:38
Speaker 1: because they're you know, he's smiling at them when they're
25:42
Speaker 1: yelling at him. And I was like, I feel like
25:44
Speaker 1: you really want to kind of court the favor of
25:46
Speaker 1: the crowd a little bit more with this, But maybe
25:48
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, maybe it just doesn't matter. And we jump
25:56
Speaker 1: over to Diamante telling Rebecca how he is the one
26:03
Speaker 1: who shot and killed her mother. Now, I just I
26:08
Speaker 1: really want to point out once again that when we
26:14
Speaker 1: come back to this moment, we do not immediately cut
26:20
Speaker 1: back to Rebecca and her confrontation with Diamante. We cut
26:26
Speaker 1: back to Burgess and him destroying the Colosseum, and then
26:31
Speaker 1: we get to Rebecca and her confrontation with Diamante. I
26:36
Speaker 1: can't get over how utterly nothing Rebecca is and is
26:42
Speaker 1: being made to be. This moment and her finding out
26:46
Speaker 1: who really killed her mother in the middle of the
26:48
Speaker 1: arena should be such a moment, and it feels like
26:51
Speaker 1: an afterthought in the way they're doing this storytelling. It
26:55
Speaker 1: just it's bizarre this, especially especially after having just seen
27:01
Speaker 1: the flashback from the toy Soldier and to cut to
27:07
Speaker 1: right from there to here and her conversation with Dianmante
27:11
Speaker 1: would make storytelling sense, it would just go together, But
27:15
Speaker 1: bizarrely we do this like aside first with Loofy and
27:21
Speaker 1: him and him asking like, are your friend's pirates? No,
27:25
Speaker 1: it's fine, I'm a criminal myself. That's it. That's the
27:28
Speaker 1: whole scene. It wasn't necessary, it did not need to
27:31
Speaker 1: be there. And then we cut to Burgess in the
27:35
Speaker 1: arena and all the damage and the people getting angry,
27:38
Speaker 1: and then we go to Rebecca. Oh my god, why
27:40
Speaker 1: would you do it this way? Cut immediately from the
27:45
Speaker 1: flashback to Rebecca finding out the information that we just
27:49
Speaker 1: saw in the flashback. It's just normally things are not
27:55
Speaker 1: this poorly done. And I am just sort of flummoxed
27:59
Speaker 1: that wat you would put them together in this order.
28:02
Speaker 1: And all I can come up with is just that
28:04
Speaker 1: Rebecca doesn't really seem to matter as a storytelling device,
28:08
Speaker 1: even though much was made of her, And I can't
28:11
Speaker 1: help but feel like it's just that she much was
28:15
Speaker 1: made of her because she was in this like sexy
28:17
Speaker 1: outfit and we just wanted a hot chick to look at.
28:20
Speaker 1: And otherwise she is just like just disrespected as a
28:24
Speaker 1: character so utterly. And even even this scene is nothing,
28:29
Speaker 1: because once you cut back to them, all he does
28:32
Speaker 1: is repeat, did you hear me that I'm the one
28:35
Speaker 1: that killed your mother? And she's kneeling in front of
28:37
Speaker 1: Diamante saying to herself, I'm so angry. I can't even
28:42
Speaker 1: do anything. I can't even move really really, even now,
28:52
Speaker 1: we're just gonna make it that she just like has
28:54
Speaker 1: no ability to react, and like I was really hoping,
29:02
Speaker 1: maybe now we'll get to see some rage from her.
29:04
Speaker 1: Maybe now she'll actually step up and truly fight and
29:07
Speaker 1: not just try to trip people and send them over
29:10
Speaker 1: into the water. Maybe this is going to be the
29:13
Speaker 1: thing that gets her riled up in a way that
29:17
Speaker 1: we hadn't seen up until this point. And when she
29:21
Speaker 1: said I don't want to fight, I don't want to
29:23
Speaker 1: hurt anybody, it's like she's finally found somebody that though
29:26
Speaker 1: that sentiment does not apply anymore, and maybe we will,
29:31
Speaker 1: but I don't have any faith in that right now,
29:33
Speaker 1: it just feels like this whole moment is just to
29:38
Speaker 1: watch her be tormented on her knees with her tits out, crying,
29:44
Speaker 1: and that's it and then we just like move on.
29:48
Speaker 1: And I really hated it. I hate it so much.
29:52
Speaker 1: So I'm getting this out of the way because I
29:54
Speaker 1: hate this the most, and the rest of these episodes
29:59
Speaker 1: I like much better and I approve of but this
30:02
Speaker 1: is just such an egregious ongoing thing the way that
30:06
Speaker 1: every time I get my hopes up about what they're
30:08
Speaker 1: doing with her, it turns out that I'm wrong and
30:10
Speaker 1: that's not where we're going with it at all. I
30:14
Speaker 1: feel like such a dumb dumb for getting my hopes up,
30:17
Speaker 1: and I resent it. I really do, all right. So
30:24
Speaker 1: we briefly cut over to Frankie and everybody is saying,
30:28
Speaker 1: like the cyborg is down, and I thought, maybe is
30:32
Speaker 1: he gonna like get up this time again? But he doesn't.
30:35
Speaker 1: He says, oos Up, I'm counting on you. I know
30:38
Speaker 1: you've got this, And we cut to Oosap, who is
30:45
Speaker 1: doing his like special attacks over and over and over
30:49
Speaker 1: again at trouble. He uses like a giant mallet. All
30:53
Speaker 1: of this stuff, and he we have like a little
30:57
Speaker 1: bit where we're sort of from one toy to another,
31:02
Speaker 1: and they're all thinking about the fact that somebody is
31:04
Speaker 1: fighting for them out there, and they're all hoping maybe
31:08
Speaker 1: that this is, you know, this person's going to be
31:11
Speaker 1: able to get us out of here. I'm rooting for you.
31:14
Speaker 1: And a lot of them are people who actually have resources,
31:19
Speaker 1: saying things like, oh, if you do this, if you
31:21
Speaker 1: managed to get me out of this, I'll give you XYZ,
31:25
Speaker 1: you know, and they all have like they're all sort
31:28
Speaker 1: of making these pledges about the way that they will
31:33
Speaker 1: reward us up for saving them. So I'm hoping that, like,
31:38
Speaker 1: even though I don't have a lot of interest in
31:42
Speaker 1: USA being treated as a god after the way he behaved,
31:45
Speaker 1: if he like manages to gain anything by this, at
31:49
Speaker 1: least all the other straw hats will also gain by it.
31:52
Speaker 1: And I suppose that's something I can let him have
31:56
Speaker 1: that for their sakes at least. So Treble after because
32:06
Speaker 1: they like wind up gripping up us up really easily,
32:13
Speaker 1: Treble gets a call from Do Flamingo and tells him,
32:16
Speaker 1: like not to worry, everything is fine. Us up meanwhile,
32:21
Speaker 1: is so fucked up from this fight that he cannot
32:27
Speaker 1: move at all, and we have Sugar come up to
32:31
Speaker 1: him with the poisoned grape and she says it's better
32:34
Speaker 1: if you eat it, and she tosses it in his mouth.
32:38
Speaker 1: He swallows it, and it takes a minute, and then
32:43
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he completely like freaks out. It's
32:48
Speaker 1: like this massive it almost like his body explodes, and
32:53
Speaker 1: he startles Sugar so badly that she passes out. And
33:00
Speaker 1: so we actually do get the sugar over surprise attack
33:07
Speaker 1: or SOP, which I always keep hearing as soob to
33:10
Speaker 1: be honest, But yeah, so there, thing with the grape
33:17
Speaker 1: actually did work, just in a distinctly different direction than
33:24
Speaker 1: any of us probably had thought of. And I liked
33:28
Speaker 1: this as a development. I thought that this was kind
33:30
Speaker 1: of a fun way to do it, especially too because
33:33
Speaker 1: of the fact that, like I'm irritated with Oosop him
33:36
Speaker 1: having to suffer by swallowing this thing, I thought was
33:40
Speaker 1: only fair, you know what I'm saying, Like it just seems, yeah,
33:46
Speaker 1: after everything, you should you should have to eat that
33:49
Speaker 1: fucking grape. So she passes out, and as she passes out,
33:55
Speaker 1: we just go to to be continued and then the
33:57
Speaker 1: next episode is almost entirely people coming out of their
34:05
Speaker 1: toy bodies. If that's the way that I want to
34:09
Speaker 1: say out say it. And I like the fact that,
34:16
Speaker 1: like Kiros is wondering how everybody else is going to
34:20
Speaker 1: react once people begin to reappear where toys were, because
34:25
Speaker 1: they're going to get their memories back as well. So
34:29
Speaker 1: I don't know if the assumption is that once they
34:32
Speaker 1: get their memories back, they will understand that they have
34:36
Speaker 1: been duped, or at the very least they will know
34:41
Speaker 1: something's up. I don't think that they have enough information
34:44
Speaker 1: to connect the dots. And really, like when somebody reappears,
34:48
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, I remember you, and now I know
34:50
Speaker 1: that Do Flamingo turned you into a toy with one
34:53
Speaker 1: of his people. I don't think it'll be like that,
34:56
Speaker 1: but maybe they'll start to realize, like the scale on
35:02
Speaker 1: which this happened was so huge that it had to
35:07
Speaker 1: be something that Do Flamingo was ultimately behind, because there's
35:10
Speaker 1: no way, you know. So I'm sorry, I'm I'm just
35:19
Speaker 1: trying to make sure that I get to the right
35:20
Speaker 1: spot here, because when everybody starts getting out of their
35:23
Speaker 1: toy selves, it's very very funny to me how much
35:29
Speaker 1: we zero in on Robin's tits an ass before she
35:32
Speaker 1: turns into her normal self. It is just so intense.
35:36
Speaker 1: I mean, my god, it looks like her boobs grew
35:38
Speaker 1: two cupsize as well. She was a toy also. And
35:43
Speaker 1: what I thought was interesting as well was that I
35:46
Speaker 1: had said before how I felt like the toys didn't
35:50
Speaker 1: resemble the people at all. Once they were transformed, they
35:54
Speaker 1: looked totally different, and mostly that did seem to be true.
36:01
Speaker 1: But once we see folks out in the streets getting
36:05
Speaker 1: transformed back into themselves, there is a like a pretty
36:09
Speaker 1: intense similarity with a lot of them between what they
36:13
Speaker 1: look like as a toy and what they look like
36:15
Speaker 1: as a human being. And so I guess I was
36:21
Speaker 1: wrong about that. Maybe it varies, I don't know, it
36:23
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, but I did just want to acknowledge it, because,
36:27
Speaker 1: like I said, Robin bore no resemblance at all to
36:31
Speaker 1: the doll that she became. So it is just sort
36:33
Speaker 1: of strange how many of these guys are truly almost
36:38
Speaker 1: exactly the same coloring and facial markings and everything when
36:42
Speaker 1: they're toys, and some of the toys when they turn
36:46
Speaker 1: back into people are giants. They're huge, and some of
36:53
Speaker 1: them are animals. We have like a gorilla. I think
36:58
Speaker 1: that's like in the arena stands, it's just a lot
37:02
Speaker 1: of chaos. And I wonder about, like there's a girl
37:09
Speaker 1: that had been with this guy and she stops and
37:12
Speaker 1: suddenly goes I think I already have a boyfriend. And
37:16
Speaker 1: I really liked that because you know, in some cases,
37:19
Speaker 1: the toy that replaced your family member is going to
37:23
Speaker 1: be right in front of you, and so you'll look
37:24
Speaker 1: at him and be like, oh my god, you are
37:26
Speaker 1: x y Z. But I was sort of wondering, if
37:29
Speaker 1: they're not in front of your face, are you going
37:31
Speaker 1: to suddenly be flooded with the memories? And it seems like, yeah,
37:36
Speaker 1: that's exactly how that happens. And of course all of
37:43
Speaker 1: the tantata are celebrating. They are so excited that they
37:46
Speaker 1: managed to pull this off. Treble has to call up
37:50
Speaker 1: Do Flamingo and explain to him about the thing with
37:54
Speaker 1: the toys, and I was sort of wondering if, like
37:57
Speaker 1: Do Flamingo, just has this tendency to really play off
38:03
Speaker 1: any loss as if it was all part of his
38:07
Speaker 1: big plan or if not that at least that it
38:11
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter to him. But here he really reacts badly,
38:17
Speaker 1: and I was like, I genuinely wasn't sure. Is he
38:20
Speaker 1: just gonna be like kind of try to behave as
38:24
Speaker 1: if he can still salvage all of this. But he
38:27
Speaker 1: gets really mad and he is sweating, he is really angry.
38:33
Speaker 1: And when he goes and looks over at the screen
38:36
Speaker 1: that's showing like the Colosseum, he gets to see all
38:41
Speaker 1: of these people turning back and the announcer just being like, wait,
38:47
Speaker 1: what is going on here? I don't know how to
38:50
Speaker 1: explain this. They're turning into humans. The toys working at
38:55
Speaker 1: the port suddenly turned into pirates, and we have all
39:00
Speaker 1: of the transponder snails going nuts. They turned into soldiers
39:05
Speaker 1: or government officials, marines and foreign royalty. The idea that
39:11
Speaker 1: you could disappear a member of foreign royalty and nobody
39:16
Speaker 1: would have enough of a record to ask questions even
39:19
Speaker 1: if they didn't remember them is truly wild. But it's fine.
39:26
Speaker 1: There's an elephant, a huge snake at a lion like.
39:34
Speaker 1: The thing that I keep wondering about is when did
39:37
Speaker 1: they come across these things? And why did they transform them?
39:40
Speaker 1: Was it because they were genuine threats or was Sugar
39:43
Speaker 1: just kind of like I'd like a pet, Yeah, I'll
39:44
Speaker 1: have a pet snake and just decided to, like, you
39:46
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I would love to hear the
39:50
Speaker 1: story behind the reason why some of them got got
39:53
Speaker 1: the way that they did and this sequence of them
40:00
Speaker 1: turning back into humans. It goes on a really really
40:01
Speaker 1: long time. But then we go back to oos Up
40:07
Speaker 1: and it like he passes out. Of course, we know
40:12
Speaker 1: that he's going to be fine, but everybody is behaving
40:14
Speaker 1: as if he's dead, and the pirates and stuff who
40:17
Speaker 1: had been transformed are like, all right, now it's time
40:21
Speaker 1: to just rereak fucking havoc out there. And they come
40:25
Speaker 1: at Treble. I think who was on the phone still
40:29
Speaker 1: with do Flamingo, So they are listening when he gets
40:35
Speaker 1: attacked and what's his face with the with the teeth
40:39
Speaker 1: is like it sounds like something's going wrong out there? Man,
40:44
Speaker 1: are you okay? And let's see Fujitaura says, it appears
40:50
Speaker 1: that the tides have turned despite all appearances, there is
40:54
Speaker 1: a deep darkness here, much deeper than I had anticipated. Darkness,
41:01
Speaker 1: Like how and he sits up and opens his uh
41:07
Speaker 1: blind eyes up at the sky. This again, this long
41:11
Speaker 1: drawn out. I just want to read it verbatim, so
41:13
Speaker 1: it just takes so long for him to get to
41:14
Speaker 1: the point. But yeah, unsurprisingly everybody is just fighting back.
41:19
Speaker 1: I mean, after all this time, like actually having in
41:23
Speaker 1: your mind your right mind and not being able to
41:26
Speaker 1: act on any of it or do anything externally oof
41:30
Speaker 1: And you know, it's a weird combination where you've got
41:33
Speaker 1: like regular people, you've got pirates, you've got military, so
41:39
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot of folks who are experienced with fighting,
41:44
Speaker 1: not just some kind of rabble and do Flamingo is
41:48
Speaker 1: extremely agitated. I was so gratified. I really wasn't sure
41:55
Speaker 1: how he was going to behave with this, and I
41:57
Speaker 1: worried that it was going to kind of be nothing.
42:01
Speaker 1: I really thought that this would end a lot of
42:04
Speaker 1: his plans. But sometimes folks have like a little backup plan,
42:09
Speaker 1: or they have a way of like steamrolling over everything
42:13
Speaker 1: and making people believe like this. This is what happened
42:16
Speaker 1: a couple times with fucking Caesar clown, is that his
42:22
Speaker 1: men found out that he was full of shit, And
42:25
Speaker 1: I thought, okay, it's game over for him, and then
42:28
Speaker 1: it wasn't because they explained it away, and I sort
42:31
Speaker 1: of thought, is that going to be something that happens
42:33
Speaker 1: that they still get fooled. Also, also, I want to
42:37
Speaker 1: add that I had thought, because you guys had mentioned
42:40
Speaker 1: how long this arc is being in dress Rosa, I
42:44
Speaker 1: had kind of resigned myself to a lot of this
42:46
Speaker 1: stuff not happening for quite a while. So it's like
42:49
Speaker 1: the shock of it happening this soon and also the
42:51
Speaker 1: shock of it happening so close together. It's like a combo,
42:54
Speaker 1: you know. I just really didn't think that we were
42:58
Speaker 1: going to have a a resolution of this part of
43:05
Speaker 1: the story this quickly. There's still a lot more that
43:08
Speaker 1: needs to happen, so I don't anticipate that this is
43:12
Speaker 1: the end of this at all. But I just didn't
43:17
Speaker 1: think that we would have as so much more to
43:20
Speaker 1: do here that we could get to this point this
43:23
Speaker 1: quickly and still have more happening. Sorry, Seraphim says, I'm
43:31
Speaker 1: totally in the sugar was bored and just wanted to
43:34
Speaker 1: have some fun camp for that, But yeah, I want
43:36
Speaker 1: the story. Yeah, I like I'm sort of in the
43:39
Speaker 1: same boat like you know if they just landed on
43:42
Speaker 1: a random island and get attacked by a lion and
43:45
Speaker 1: she could just pop, Okay, no lion anymore, probably just
43:49
Speaker 1: like also basic stuff like that. But yeah, I wouldn't
43:54
Speaker 1: be surprised if she was like, I'm gonna create my
43:55
Speaker 1: own little menagerie for myself. So then we see the
44:00
Speaker 1: moment where Rebecca remembers her father and he has you know,
44:06
Speaker 1: he's like right in the palace here, So when he transforms,
44:13
Speaker 1: Violet is right there and suddenly realizes who he is.
44:18
Speaker 1: It would be fucked up if you got turned back
44:20
Speaker 1: into a person. And then his leg just started bleeding
44:22
Speaker 1: again and he just died, Like the only thing that
44:24
Speaker 1: saved his life was the fact that he got transformed
44:26
Speaker 1: into a toy. And so now that he's a human
44:28
Speaker 1: being again, that's just a rap that would suck and
44:35
Speaker 1: broken just travel as well with one leg as anybody.
44:41
Speaker 1: It's like the dude is It's basically like he has
44:47
Speaker 1: the same weird power that Do Flamingo has. He's essentially flying,
44:53
Speaker 1: and Violet has to explain to Loofy, like who this
44:58
Speaker 1: guy is and you know him being the strongest gladiator
45:02
Speaker 1: and Lufy's like Rebecca told me that she didn't know
45:06
Speaker 1: that guy, and Violet's like, yeah, she didn't remember him,
45:09
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's her father. And the episode ends with
45:15
Speaker 1: Kiros going into Do Flamingo's main room and attacking him
45:21
Speaker 1: with tears in his eyes and saying to King Riku,
45:24
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but here I come.
45:30
Speaker 1: And he slices off do Flamingo's head, and you know,
45:35
Speaker 1: everybody gasps. I was very much like, okay, so now
45:40
Speaker 1: what because this can't be it. Do Flamingo's expression when
45:45
Speaker 1: his head is cut off, by the way, is hilarious.
45:49
Speaker 1: He is just so irritated. It doesn't look like he's
45:52
Speaker 1: in pain, it doesn't look like he's like he just
45:57
Speaker 1: looks ticked off, you know. So of course we have
46:01
Speaker 1: the long dramatic reaction of everybody in the room at
46:06
Speaker 1: the start of the next episode again and a bunch
46:11
Speaker 1: of the henchmen mobilizing. But like, Do Flamingo's body is
46:16
Speaker 1: still standing. His head is on the other side of
46:19
Speaker 1: the room, but it's not like his body dropped to
46:22
Speaker 1: the floor, so he's not dead. Meanwhile, Loofy is like,
46:27
Speaker 1: oh no, he killed him. I was gonna kick his ass.
46:30
Speaker 1: This sucks, and I'm just like, don't worry, bra You're
46:34
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get to do it eventually. I'm
46:39
Speaker 1: trying to jump past because we get a lot more
46:42
Speaker 1: of the like Rebecca remembering her father thing, and let's see, okay,
46:53
Speaker 1: here it is. This is a point where because we're
46:55
Speaker 1: back in the coliseum for a little bit here, and
46:58
Speaker 1: Sabo is saying, there's a core at the heart of things,
47:02
Speaker 1: and once you find that, anything great or small can
47:05
Speaker 1: be undone, and Bartolomeo says, you lost me. I love
47:12
Speaker 1: this so much. You look cool as hell, and I
47:15
Speaker 1: do look up to you. But you lost me. That
47:20
Speaker 1: cracked me up. You look cool as hell, and I
47:22
Speaker 1: look up to you. So Sabo is like punching. He's
47:29
Speaker 1: punching is too strong a word, but he's like tapping
47:31
Speaker 1: his knuckles against the floor of the colisseum, and he
47:35
Speaker 1: finally says, I think it's about time we wrap this up,
47:39
Speaker 1: and his arms are covered in armament hockey and he
47:44
Speaker 1: bashes down into the ground and reminder like people turning
47:48
Speaker 1: back into themselves has mostly evacuated the Colisseum, so there's
47:52
Speaker 1: pretty few people left in here. But I really thought
47:56
Speaker 1: that once they all began to flee, that that was
47:59
Speaker 1: kind of going to be the end of this fight.
48:02
Speaker 1: And then the announcer turns out to still be there,
48:05
Speaker 1: and as Sabo does this thing, he continues announcing about it,
48:10
Speaker 1: and Sabo uses dragon claw, fist and dragon breath and
48:16
Speaker 1: he breaks the whole platform that they are standing on,
48:20
Speaker 1: the solid stone platform, and the like. All I could
48:26
Speaker 1: think was like, uh, you might be killing a lot
48:28
Speaker 1: of people here, Bud, but okay, And this leads to
48:33
Speaker 1: him managing to catch the flying fish and apprehend the
48:40
Speaker 1: devil Fruit for himself. Once again, I really never thought
48:46
Speaker 1: we were going to have him catch the devil Fruit
48:49
Speaker 1: within the same couple of episodes. As everybody is turned
48:52
Speaker 1: back into humans and I Love Diamante is on the
48:56
Speaker 1: ground and he yells something like I think it says
49:01
Speaker 1: like we never intended to give out that prize, and
49:07
Speaker 1: so what we're finding out is that this whole thing
49:11
Speaker 1: was just a complete like farce, which Diamante knew that.
49:15
Speaker 1: I have to assume that not a single other person did.
49:20
Speaker 1: And I wonder how they would have gotten away with it,
49:24
Speaker 1: because mostly what do Flamingo has managed to do is
49:28
Speaker 1: through a lot of like pr and manipulation of memory
49:33
Speaker 1: and circumstance, he has managed to convince people that folks
49:40
Speaker 1: have made certain choices that they haven't made with his
49:42
Speaker 1: controlling not Kiros the King, I can't remember his name,
49:48
Speaker 1: but with this, like the flame Flame fruit, all I
49:56
Speaker 1: could think was, like, I would expect the presentation of
50:00
Speaker 1: this fruit to be kind of a big deal, like
50:02
Speaker 1: you would. Once somebody reached it, they would be declared
50:05
Speaker 1: the winner, and then there would be like a ceremony
50:08
Speaker 1: where you give it to them and everybody watches them
50:11
Speaker 1: eat it and get their powers. So that was what
50:16
Speaker 1: I would expect, And I wonder how they would have
50:20
Speaker 1: gotten around it. But maybe, oh, oh that's fair, Sarah
50:24
Speaker 1: Fhim says, likely they would have just made sure Dofie
50:26
Speaker 1: Screw won that final bout and so no one gets
50:28
Speaker 1: to win the prize. Yeah, that's probably what Diamante meant. Actually,
50:33
Speaker 1: now that you say that, was just like we didn't
50:35
Speaker 1: plan on giving it away because we didn't plan on
50:37
Speaker 1: letting anybody else win. That's much simpler. So yeah, I
50:41
Speaker 1: think you're right. So anyway, sorry about it, but your
50:47
Speaker 1: plans have gone awry because Sabo bus open this trunk,
50:54
Speaker 1: grabs the fruit, and like, there is a moment, you guys,
50:58
Speaker 1: where he is hovering in mid air and the is
51:00
Speaker 1: hovering in mid air in front of him, and he
51:02
Speaker 1: does not yet have it in hand. And I was
51:06
Speaker 1: so concerned that Bro was going to be taking too
51:11
Speaker 1: long staring at this fruit in wonder and somebody else
51:14
Speaker 1: was going to shoot up there and just grab it
51:16
Speaker 1: right out from under him. I really did have a
51:19
Speaker 1: moment of like, dude, if you don't fucking take that
51:21
Speaker 1: thing right now, it is about to be over for you,
51:24
Speaker 1: like come on. And thankfully he grabs it and takes
51:29
Speaker 1: a bite. And when he took a bite, I literally said,
51:33
Speaker 1: oh damn, because I just kept expecting something to happen
51:38
Speaker 1: to stop him from taking a bite. Now my question
51:42
Speaker 1: for all of you. He takes a bite, and that
51:46
Speaker 1: seems to be all it requires for him to get
51:49
Speaker 1: this power. But there's plenty of fruit left. Can you
51:56
Speaker 1: split it? Can you like eat a bite and hand
52:01
Speaker 1: it onto your friends and have them have a bite,
52:04
Speaker 1: and then all of your entire crew has this like
52:07
Speaker 1: same dope power. I don't think that's how it works,
52:11
Speaker 1: but I kind of want it to be tried. I'd
52:16
Speaker 1: be interested in seeing how that went. So yeah, he
52:21
Speaker 1: he goes and takes a bite out of it. I
52:23
Speaker 1: love that he immediately reacts with like ugh, and he
52:28
Speaker 1: takes the flame flame fruit ability, flare, flare, frew as
52:32
Speaker 1: they say in the subtitles, and then he Sabo is
52:43
Speaker 1: experimenting a little bit, and he realizes that like the
52:48
Speaker 1: flame on his hand doesn't actually hurt the way that
52:51
Speaker 1: he expected it to because he has become part of
52:55
Speaker 1: the fire. And he's doing this all by the way,
52:59
Speaker 1: in mid air holding Rebecca up and is about to escape.
53:05
Speaker 1: Uh Kowala, who's outside, is saying like, oh, I guess
53:09
Speaker 1: that's my cue, and we see her jump into action.
53:13
Speaker 1: And when Sabo's like whole disguise comes off, I had
53:18
Speaker 1: a moment of like, wait, is Sabo hot? I can't
53:24
Speaker 1: tell is he gonna be hot? We don't really see
53:27
Speaker 1: much of his face. We just see a silhouette, but
53:29
Speaker 1: we hadn't even seen that earlier. He's had his hat
53:31
Speaker 1: on and then he had the helmet on that Loofy
53:33
Speaker 1: had on. And you know, granted, he's still supposed to
53:37
Speaker 1: be like super young in this show, but I definitely
53:41
Speaker 1: am sort of like, word, are we about to are
53:44
Speaker 1: we about to get a little bit of a heart
53:45
Speaker 1: throb type here or what? So? Jumping back into the
53:51
Speaker 1: uh the factory area where Trouble is, Nico Robin is
53:58
Speaker 1: fighting against Trouble because Sugar is still unconscious, and she
54:05
Speaker 1: manages to stop him from hitting her with one of
54:08
Speaker 1: his like glue strikes, and then this dude steps out
54:13
Speaker 1: of nowhere and just fucking like kicks this guy. It
54:17
Speaker 1: is this man is very very large, huge, and I
54:23
Speaker 1: have to repeat that. He reminds me of some wrestler
54:27
Speaker 1: that used to wear glasses like this that I don't
54:29
Speaker 1: remember his name, but it was definitely somebody from like
54:32
Speaker 1: the nineties. Okay, uh, Saraphim says per Oda. It only
54:40
Speaker 1: takes one bite and you get the full power, and
54:42
Speaker 1: whoever takes that first bite is the only one. But
54:46
Speaker 1: most people don't realize this, so they eat the whole
54:48
Speaker 1: thing just to be safe. I definitely would, you know,
54:51
Speaker 1: if I were doing this, I would absolutely just be
54:53
Speaker 1: like what if I, like, I eat the seeds, I'd
54:56
Speaker 1: need to stand. I would just go for it just
54:58
Speaker 1: in case. Who knows Sabo should be twenty two at
55:02
Speaker 1: this point, Oh okay, so he's older than I'm realizing.
55:07
Speaker 1: So this dude picks up usup. Who reminder is still
55:13
Speaker 1: fucking almost unconscious. It's so weird because what they do
55:21
Speaker 1: here it takes so long, but they have Oosup saying
55:25
Speaker 1: things about how like he's getting like, don't move me
55:32
Speaker 1: so much, and the sort of like thing he intended
55:36
Speaker 1: to say is at the top of the screen. But
55:41
Speaker 1: then you see the way that people are hearing what
55:45
Speaker 1: he said and interpreting it. So when he says like
55:49
Speaker 1: stop moving me around so much, what people are hearing
55:52
Speaker 1: is I am so moved. And long story short, him
55:58
Speaker 1: complaining adds up to like a whole speech of inspiration
56:05
Speaker 1: on the people. And there's also folks who are like
56:09
Speaker 1: acting as if the light pouring through because of the
56:11
Speaker 1: broken ceiling is the light of his aura. And of
56:16
Speaker 1: course he's being held in such a way that his
56:18
Speaker 1: arms are outstretched like Christ on the cross. And it
56:23
Speaker 1: is the weirdest direction to go with this. I mean, like,
56:30
Speaker 1: I just never saw this coming. It's really really strange.
56:34
Speaker 1: I think God Oosop is trying to say something and
56:39
Speaker 1: he says, you people will be guided by me, and
56:50
Speaker 1: that like again, this is not actually what he's saying.
56:53
Speaker 1: It's what they hear. People put me down. You're the worst?
57:02
Speaker 1: Will you stop open your blinded eyes? Blood is all
57:06
Speaker 1: over my face, meat head. I don't know how this
57:12
Speaker 1: is meant to translate, but apparently it's like do something
57:15
Speaker 1: with the characters that are used, so it's like a
57:18
Speaker 1: translation joke really but uh but yeah, so this leads
57:25
Speaker 1: to like a weird cult following, and of course oos
57:29
Speaker 1: Up is just like, well, okay, go destroy the factory
57:35
Speaker 1: and rescue our friends. Can you do that? And of
57:39
Speaker 1: course yeah, immediately they are going for it. And I
57:43
Speaker 1: have to say it's funny because in the subtitle it
57:47
Speaker 1: says toys cheer, even though none of them are toys anymore.
57:50
Speaker 1: They are all just regular ass men. But yeah, the
57:54
Speaker 1: toys cheer, so that's what they will be forever. Apparently
57:58
Speaker 1: it's just everybody who had been a toy. And I
58:02
Speaker 1: love that the episode ends with us Up looking down
58:05
Speaker 1: and just saying, what the hell is wrong with these people?
58:08
Speaker 1: And that's the end of the episode, which is really funny.
58:10
Speaker 1: That's a funny way to end it and for him
58:12
Speaker 1: to react, So yeah, I was hard on parts of
58:17
Speaker 1: this episode, which I stand by, but I did like
58:20
Speaker 1: the direction that we went eventually, and I am very
58:24
Speaker 1: curious to see where we go further from here. Now
58:27
Speaker 1: that we have got this transformation, what happens to dopf
58:30
Speaker 1: Wiman And he's clearly not dead, so I don't know
58:36
Speaker 1: how he gets out of it because there's like, there's
58:38
Speaker 1: no way. As I said, his body was still standing upright,
58:41
Speaker 1: So we don't get any of that this episode. It's
58:44
Speaker 1: purely dealing with everything else. And then I guess we're
58:46
Speaker 1: returning to do FILMINGO eventually. All Right, I gotta wrap
58:51
Speaker 1: this up, but thank you guys again so much appreciate
58:53
Speaker 1: you all. Thank you to Floren for commissioning this, thank
58:57
Speaker 1: you to Sarah him for giving me info in the
58:59
Speaker 1: chat very helpful. And until next time to Blue Motherfuckers.
59:33
Speaker 1: That was an Unspoiled Network podcast
