  Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: covering one Piece episodes six ninety four through six ninety six. Invincible,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: a gruesome army of headcracker dolls risking their lives. Lufy
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: is the trump card for victory and a tearful reunion
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Rebecca and Kiros in these episodes. Well, Lufy and Bartolomeo's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: reunion was everything I could have wished for and more.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I know that there's many other things that I should
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: be more concerned about in these episodes, but frankly, Bartolomeo
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: had his hopes up so high about what was going
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to happen when he saw Lufy, and it had me
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: concerned that it wasn't going to be as good as
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: he imagined, and then it wound up being better than
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: he imagined, And honestly, I just love that for him.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Welcome to spoil Me, Welcome to the show everyone. I
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: am Natasha. Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: this episode. And Florian, I don't know if you're hearing
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the chat today because it's a late recording so you
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: maybe can't make it, but I just really appreciate you.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I just want you to know, because you've commissioned like
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the last fifteen or so episodes, so that is a
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: lot of commissions, and I think you might be my MVP.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: So these episodes, guys again really like keeping up the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: overall vibe. I've just I keep being impressed by this
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: arc and how invested I still am. We find out
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that the head cracker dolls as they are called, which, uh,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: it's sort of funny because like at first, when they
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: said headcracker, I thought that maybe it was like a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: translational thing and that it was supposed to be that
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: they were nutcrackers, and you know the way that nutcrackers
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: crack nuts is using their head their draw so I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: thought maybe it was just sort of that, and then
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: eventually we actually see them like bite a horse's head,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: not off, but like it's bad, and I was like,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: oh no, no, they meant that as literally as it sounded,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: which is uh, honestly what a bummer. I swear to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: God Seraphim would help out with those. But sadly money
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: is tight right now. It's been out of work with
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a messed up ankle. Oh Seraphim, sorry, look I get it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think money has been tighter for me since
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: like twenty fifteen, like it's very very bad lately, So
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: trust me, I get it. Oda loves his pun naming
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and Headcracker is right up as Alli.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So this revelation of the fact that Sugar did indeed
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: make these guys, here's my question to you all. Is
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Sugar like able to decide what type of toy she
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: turns somebody into like because all of these guys are identical,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and in the past, that's not how they have looked.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: They have always been very individual and there has been
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I had kind of felt like they didn't look like
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: what they really look like in life. But then once
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: we get more of a tour of the the overall
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: turning back to human, I don't know what you would
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: call that, the untoying. Once we see that, it seems
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: like there was many more people who would turned into
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: toys that sort of look like them than how I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: was watching.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: And.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I just assumed that it was sort of a.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: What's the word I want that it was sort of like, uh,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: just a natural occurrence that, like her ability, it made
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you into a toy, but it didn't really change your
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: overall appearance in many other ways, and instead it seems
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: like we're getting that she has a lot more control
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: over this than I expected, and she I believe, is
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: able to make them identical and larger than average. So oh, Saraphim.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Saraphim says, she called that little black bears. I'm turning
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: half the tantatas into just that. You're right, I forgot
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: about that, And Saraphim says, so she seems she can
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: decide what to turn them into if she wants, but
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: might just let it go on automatic. Usually, thank you,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: thank you for mine that I forgot all about it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: So we have seen her kind of do a custom
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: job before, so basically in the past, here's my like,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: going on automatic makes total sense.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And also.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I could see maybe feeling like there is a need
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: when you're making these people these toys for the overall
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: population to like get along with, because they live in
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and amongst the toys. I could see maybe being like,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: let me make them sort of small and individual like
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: cute kind of beings, and that way people aren't threatened
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: by them, and that now that we're about to like,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you know, these guys are going to go to war
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: with somebody like Loofy who is such a high level
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: fighter and also has backup and whatnot, that she would
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: go a lot harder in her overall design of them.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: So okay, I like that. That's interesting. I know I've
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: talked a lot of shit about her ability being overpowered,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and I have one hundred percent stand by it, But
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: there have been a couple of things that I have
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: felt like I wanted to poke a hole in, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it's been addressed already, and I love when that happens.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: So we have.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: The executives continuing to fight against some of the people
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that are on Loofy's side, and as they are fighting, Rebecca,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Robin and Bartolomeo are continuing their weird sort of like
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: bouncy flight towards the fourth level because they think that's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: where Lufy is and they are intending to give him
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the key to Trafalgar's handcuffs. And I guess that it's
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: kind of it's meant to be that, like they assume
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Lufy is there because they don't realize how hung up
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: he has been by these these monsters essentially, you know,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: like they really are so much scarier than any of
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the other toys that we have come across, So eventually,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: like Robin gets knocked off of this area and she
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: falls and it turns out that she is now with Loofy,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: but unfortunately she has already given the fucking key to Rebecca,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: which it's just you guys at this point. Can we
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: please make a copy of this key somebody.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: You know, like, let's eat shit, get a get.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: A copy, and then we don't have to depend on
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: on just this one. I wonder if Bartilomeo could make
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a copy of the key out of the stuff that
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: he makes a barrier with. I kind of get the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: impression that, like the barrier has to be a much bigger,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: more simple object, but I don't know. And the fantasy
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: that Bartolomeo has about Loofy and how he's like Lufy
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: is saying, what is it that he says to him
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: in this because Bartolomeo is imagining that he's swooping in
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and Lufy is standing in the flower field waiting for him,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and then when he finally lands and says sorry, I'm late,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Lufy says, I knew you'd make it, and I can't
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: because because I believe in my friends, and he starts
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: crying and saying I'm your friend and then like later
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: on Lufy says you're the best buddy, which I really
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: think is better even than what he was imagining. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: it was great. It made me very very happy. Bartelomeo
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: is so emotional.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: It's so funny. I love it so much. When he
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: means living later he's just like, thank you, thank you
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: for being bored, and I just fell out. I was
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: laughing so hard, you guys.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: It was just so like it was just so over
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the top, you know. So then we have this thing
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: with the location of the princess. So at the end
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: of the last episode, we had finally found her. Viola
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: had tracked her down to this room that had been
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in the uh like weird back area of the castle,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and she's talking to the tantata, and Leo, who she's
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: speaking with, remembers the room. They call it the naughty Room. Now,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: this is such a weird thing, you guys, because he
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: gets very emotional himself here and he's talking about how
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Princess Scarlet and us, like when we used to go
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: visit the palace, Princess Viola and Us would cause mischief
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and King Riku would scold her. And we find out
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that King Riku would basically like put his daughter in
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the dungeon when she acted up, which, uh, honest, you guys,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I just can't decide about this. It's just it's like
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: if you have a castle and you're gonna put your
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: kid in time out. I suppose that's not a completely
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: unreasonable thing to do, especially you know, like if you
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: are if your kid is somewhere where you know they're
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: going to be treated a certain way by everybody, and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: so if they just asked and looked like pitiful enough,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: they might be able to just get their way with
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: any of the servants, maybe putting them in a place
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: where they just don't have contact with anybody.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: It's one it's.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Reminded me of a sort of the equivalent of being
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: like I'm taking your phone and your tablet away and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I'm changing the Wi Fi password. Like that's one that
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: a friend of mine does. She uh, when her kids
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: act up, she changes her Wi Fi password so that
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: they can have all of their like little accessories, but
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: nothing fucking connects anymore, which is I think kind of
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: genius because it's very easy to overlook some of the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: ways that certain things connect with the Internet, like a switch,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: even you know, like there's all kinds of different little
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: things that are now Wi Fi capable that you don't
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: think about because everything fucking has that built in, so
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it's very easy to kind of think, oh, yeah, I've
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: sufficiently cut them off, and then you realize that they've
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: been fucking tweeting off of the refrigerator, you know.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: So anyway, it just I was sort of caught off
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: guard by the fact that.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: There was a that there's a dungeon that they are
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: familiar with from like the fun times playing with.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Viola when they were kids.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I just didn't expect the reaction that Leo has when
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: he thinks about the Naughty Room and he starts like
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: getting teary eyed. I thought it was gonna be like
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: a really bad memory, and instead it's sort of a
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: heartwarming thing where apparently, like Viola broke a plate. Eventually
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: she uh so she's she's in there. She says that like, oh,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: we have each other, so I'm not even sad, but
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I am hungry. And then eventually she is joined by
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: her sister who has brought a basket of apples, and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Scarlett is like one for each of you and just
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: trying to be supportive, Oh you rascals, and Viola says,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't even break the plate. They broke it and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: they said you told us to break it, and she said,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I said you could touch it, you little dummies. And
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I think I believe her that Tantana are sort of
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: it's a weird thing with them because they're not super
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: smart in certain ways, and then there are other ways
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: that they really pull it out, and I'm like, oh, no, okay,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I was underestimating them here. So my instinct was like,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: did she say you guys can break that plate because
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: she just kind of wanted to raise some hell and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: now she doesn't want to take responsibility. Or was she
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: just like honestly saying yeah, of course you can touch it.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: And then they were like oh okay, and they thought
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that meant we can do whatever we want, you know.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I just.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Wasn't expected it to become this sort of sweet nostalgia
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: from Leo. I just really expected it to be sort
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: of a terrible like I remember that room, it's horrible there,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you know, that kind of thing. And it's very funny
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: because when we come back to the present, Leo says
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: something like, sorry, I got I like wandered off in
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: my head there, you know, something that got sidetracked, And
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, if this show apologized every time it
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: got totally sidetracked, it would very, very very little would
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: get done, That's all I'm saying. So, okay, this is okay, guys,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: this is so horrible. Let's let's just get this over
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: with talking about fucking Cavendish and his horse because he
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: like something happens. He's on the ground like uh, he says,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: like we've put an end to those wretched things. Let's go,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and he's got his back to it while Loofy, Kira
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and Trafalgar are still on the back of his horse,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and then one of them comes up out of the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: mist and just fucking clamps its jaws over the horse's
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: neck and yanks. I really thought he was going to
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: like pull that horse's head off, and I was about
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: to freak out a little bit, and poor Farrule, I
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: think he's likely going to be fine because nobody dies
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: in this universe.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I think there's been.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Like one or two exceptions to that with animals where
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: there has been an animal that is actually killed, but
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I can't remember if that was like a flashback where
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the animal died in the flashback or if it was
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: like in the present. But I do think that there
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: was one time where I really was sanguine, thinking they're
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: going to be fine, and then they weren't, And that
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: one time has got me a little bit paranoid. But
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: for the most part, I am going to just trust
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: that the animals that wind up getting taken out wind
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: up okay. But it was horrible. I really hated it,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: just so you guys like I have to acknowledge it.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: And these fucking things like when they get taken apart
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: and laid out, they just put them fucking selves back
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: together again, which seems highly unfair to me. I don't
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: know about you guys, but I just think that's really uncool.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like getting to just reassemble yourself after
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: death feels like it's something that should be allowed. On
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: the other hand, these dudes who got turned into toys
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: maybe don't deserve to die because they didn't want to
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: be toys. On the other other hand, it does seem
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: like they are working willingly with the do Flamingo family,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: so maybe I.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Don't care what happens to them.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: But also the do Flamingo family has so much power.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Is it possible that we want to just like give
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: a pass to some of the people working with them
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: because they didn't necessarily have that much of a choice.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I really can't decide.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I'd be interested in hearing what you guys have to
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: say about that. So, okay, I'm gonna jump over to
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: this scene for a second. There's not that much forward
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: progress over here with us Up and Keenamon and his friend,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: but there is a thing that irritated the fucking shit
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: ahead of me, you guys. So when we go to
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the scene, what is his friend's name? He starts, he's
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: like yelling because Osop Condreau is his friend.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Condureau is getting beat over the head with I think
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: like Usup's using the quiver for his like slingshot thing
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: or something like that, and he's saying that, but maybe
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I should have just killed myself. That would have been
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: easier to deal with than this, and us Up says,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: stop being such a baby. You're gonna cry about just
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: getting hit a few times. And I just I swear
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: to god, you guys, I hate knowing that this was
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: an issue with the like developing a drawn out version
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: of the story because I know that this is an
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: unintended side effect, but Usup has lost so much goodwill
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: from me after that storyline and almost abandoning everybody that
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: now he has come back, the fact that he has
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: the nerve to call somebody else a baby, I was flabbergasted.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I was so disgusted and irritated with him. I was like,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you are calling him a baby. You avoid anything that
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: would even bring you discomfort, never mind actual like physical
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: pain and harm. And just the way he's he's like
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: he's hitting him purely because this guy drew this net
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: to allow their enemies to climb up, and like the
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: enemies haven't even actually gotten here yet, nothing has even
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: happened with that yet. It's just that he is annoyed
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: that it happened, so he is punishing this man for it,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and I just this scene just got.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Under my skin.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I know that I'm being too hard on him, because,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: like I said, after what you guys have told me,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: it's very clear that they didn't mean for this to
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: be what it has become for me in terms of
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: like a change in Usop's character. But I cannot help
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the way that it feels after having seen the way
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: he behaved earlier.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: It just fucking.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: This is I just wish that when it came to
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: drawing things out that they would find a different way
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: to do it. It just seems like so often they
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: choose a method that winds up hurting a part of
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: the story that can't bear that brunt, And you could
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: use it on something that's a lot less like what's
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the word, I want a lot less central to our
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: group of friends and the straw hats as a crew,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: and it would do less damage if it wasn't done well.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: But here it just feels to me like they have
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: done some real harm to how I seeos up and
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I hate that. And eventually it comes out that like
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Sugar has a she is alive and awake again, and
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: he starts screaming, and I love that he calls his
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: like accidental knocking out of Sugar his like facial jack
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: in the box technique, like he's trying to pretend that
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: he managed to take her out on purpose, and then
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: it wasn't simply like a circumstantial you know which that
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: was funny. I thought that was pretty good. And when
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: he makes his like bug eyed, frightful face it transitions
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: directly into her face, making the same expression because they
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: there's a band with a long nose who has come
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: up to her and they're trying to feed her now
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: that she has woken up, and he's got a plate
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: of sausages, and it's supposed to be that she is
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: so traumatized after what she saw from Usop's face that
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: anything that's like long and skinny, like his nose is
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: now triggering to her and she can't handle it. Which
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: is kind of a fun bit actually, Like if if
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: it turns out that this like this kind of trauma
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: latches on and he is able to use his own
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: face as a kind of weapon, I wouldn't be mad
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: at that. That might go some way toward me feeling
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: better about this whole thing. But uh yeah, So she
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: starts screaming at these guys and it's it's sort of,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I guess, like a flashback because we see her here
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: reacting to these dudes and turning them into these headcrackers
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: because she wants them out of her face. Like at
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: one point she says, like, why don't you just go away?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Or better yet, drop dead? She says drop dead very
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: often frequently. It's it's kind of funny. I have to admit,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: like I'm not mad at it. So this I'm interested
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to see how this develops. But when we go back
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to Oosup, his concern is that she might get her
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: hands on Loofy. And if she does, what is that
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: going to mean? Because when I forgot Robin, it was
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: really messed up, like, you know, all of her it
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: is just everything about her disappeared, and it was like
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: she had never even existed. So that makes a lot
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: of sense. Like Lufy is their lynchpin and the reason
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: why they're doing this in.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: A lot of ways.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: And I am really curious if something happened and they
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: all forgot Loufy, how would they behave you know, like
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I like to think that they would feel a moral
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: obligation to continue fighting because Dofl Mingo was obviously a
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: bad man, But a part of me is sort.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Of like if they.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Did wind up forgetting Loofy, would they remember that Dofo
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Mingo is a bad man? Would that even like be
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: a factor? You know, I don't know how much information
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: they retain because the way that this like memory spell
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: ability and technique, I guess the way that it works
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: it's really not delved into very much by the show
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: for reasons that I think are obvious. It's that we
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: don't like if you really get too specific about what
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: people remember and don't remember, it makes everything much much
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: harder to like set rules around, and it makes it
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: so that you don't have as much freedom in parts
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: of the way that you tell the story. So I
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: can I understand why maybe Oda wouldn't want to like
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: back himself into a corner by really outlining the rules
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and how all of this works. But I also can't
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: help but kind of call bullshit on it, because the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: whole memory thing is just so convoluted anyway, and there
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: are just so many ways in which a person could
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: still be, like clues of their existence would still be
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: around that nobody would be able to explain that haven't
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: been touched on at all, you know, sorry, oh my
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Goshu and saraphim Is in the chat. On the other hand,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Nami has totally beaten him worse than that at some
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: point when him and Lufy pissed her off. I don't
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: know why that's on the other hand, but because like, yeah,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: but honestly, most of the time, when Namy beats the
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: hell out of him and loufy I feel like they
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: both deserve it because they are not helpful, says given
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: most of what they know about Dophy came from the
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Tantatas and Kiros I doubt they'd forget that, okay, So
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: they might keep fighting anyway.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: It might be fine.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: So at this point, Ousap is going to take aim
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: at the palace because he wants to hit Sugar with
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: his his sling shot from the outside, and he's like,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I'm going to need absolutely perfect precision on this shot,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: So Violet, I need you to find out exactly where
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: she is with your clairvoyance and direct me on where
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: to shoot. And he has it all like positioned on
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the edge of this like wall that they're leaning on.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: But then he turns around and he sees Conjureau's bird,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: who has passed out, and he gets this expression on
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: his face and on I was very much like, don't
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: you dare involve this bird. It is exhausted, stop it, you.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Know, I very much was just like, can we.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Let this bird rest, please give it a second for
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Christ's sake. Oh my god, I forgot about baby five
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: and she is uh fighting this dude who says, give
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: me your worst, whatever you've got, I'll accept it with
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: open arms. And she is about to turn herself into
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: a bladed disc and then she stops and hovers in
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: mid air and she just stares at this guy and
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: gets this expression and goes, did you say that you
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: would accept me with open arms? And I had forgotten
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: about this aspect of her personality and how everybody like
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: she'll act. Iidentally see them as being these wonderful men
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: with no real provocation, and I really I still enjoy
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: this greatly. So that was a fun development. Okay, We've
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: got the guy with a drill head and he's fighting
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: against loud g they're arguing over who's the oldest, which
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: is a weird thing. We've got Gladyus who is coming
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: after our guys in mid air, and this is what
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: eventually leads to both Robin and Bartolameo getting knocked out
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: of the sky. She uses her ability to make wings
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: and she I think Bartolomeo just crashes, but she manages
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: to land a little bit more gracefully, and Rebecca goes
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: on without them to the flower field.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: And it was sort of.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Funny to me because, like Robin is plummeting, but she
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: still manages to kind of like talk to Rebecca on
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the way down and just yelling, it's up to you,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: now take the key to law I can take care
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: of the rest. And I was just like, she should
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: not be able to like have time to shit chat,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: but whatever, it's fine. So eventually we get Bartelomeo landing
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: in and amongst Loofy and his buds fighting against these things,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: and Robin shares that Rebecca is up there at the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: flower field, and Kiros of course, is very agitated to
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: hear this because she's all by herself in the midst.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Of all of this.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Now I'm going to kind of jump ahead on the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: whole Rebecca thing, because I mean, I think you guys
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: know how I'm gonna feel about this. I want, I
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: wanted so much for her to have like any sort
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: of moment, and it still has an happened, And it's
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: just I can't seem to let go of this hope.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Even as I get disappointed repeatedly, it's still there and
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like a dumbass, but I also am still
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: hoping a little bit. So she goes up to this
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: flower field, and this is really the first part of
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: this arc so far that I have really been like, Okay,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: can we please move this the fuck along? Because she
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: gets up there and it's this long, drawn out pause
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: after she arrives of her looking around the flower field.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Anybody with a lick of sense is gonna know somebody
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: is here hidden and everything is about to go very
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: badly wrong. But like, I don't have a problem with
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: knowing that we're getting this trope. I have a problem
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: with taking so long to reveal it. It's just ages
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: before she finally like sees this guy and he pops out,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: and I was already starting to like my mind was wandering.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: I'm picking up my phone.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: He pops out and it's Diamante, And of course he
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: has to say some shit about how like I'm so
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: glad that you're here all by yourself.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Because I get to continue.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: To torment you. And it's so like played honestly, Like
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: it's just the way that he comes at her is
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: so utterly by the numbers and just being like because
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I can continue to torment her. When I tell you,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: guys that it's drawn out, let me let me give
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: you a little moment here. He says, I didn't think
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: you'd make.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: It be be be be be be Rebecca.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: That is how long it takes for him to finish
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: the fucking sentence and say her name. Why did we
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: need that long pause at all? Like we know what
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: her name is, and he has already announced himself when
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: we know.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: He's a bad guy.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: All of the tension is in that part, so him
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: like taking forever to say her name, it just feels
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: like the most quittless garbage. And then, of course, for
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: a moment, I get filled with this like false hope
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: that she's gonna get to go up against the guy
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: who killed her mother. Finally it's gonna be the confrontation
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: that I have been I don't want to say that
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I've been waiting for, because honestly, I have mostly checked
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: out of what's going on with her, so I haven't
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: really cared, but I have been just like, all right,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: if we're gonna do something with her, let's get it going.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe she's gonna finally get to fight this guy. No, No,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: it's fucking Kiros. He is going to swoop in and
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: do the fighting because he's a fighter, and it's just
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: so annoying. It's just so boring. Kiros I like, I
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: have really like been fine with the storyline involving him
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: so far. I want to be clear that I'm not
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: here like, oh, who gives a shit about him? As
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: a toy soldier, he was particularly fun. His like one
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: legged thing is it feels to me kind of tacked on. Honestly,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: it feels like we just wanted to do something dramatic
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: with him, but we never really wanted to cope with
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: what that really means because it hasn't slowed his ass
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: down one little bit. So for me, it just feels
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: like this guy is superhuman in a way that is uninteresting.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: If you have one leg and you have to deal
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: with that as a change because of how you fight,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I want to see how you cope with that, And
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: ultimately it seems to have done absolutely nothing to change
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: the way that he moves through the world, so, you know,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: and also just the fact that like this dude is
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: just standing over her, like just trying to menace her,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't take a swipe, He doesn't really like
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: do almost anything before Kiros steps in. So Rebecca, it
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: just feels like she's a prop you know. It's I
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: know that I'm supposed to feel like Kiros is gonna
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: defend his daughter who he hasn't seen, and oh, they're reunited,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: and what a moment. I just don't feel like that
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: because the whole atmosphere with the two of them, it's
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: like one of them actually has some agency and the
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: other one is literal wallpaper. So oh, this whole thing
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: is a complete bust for me, and I really couldn't
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: give a shit, And I feel bad that I feel
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: that way, but you know, this arc has been very solid.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: I feel like we could do a lot worse if
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: we were going to have a part of it that
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I don't care about. There have been more than one
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: in the past, and this is pretty solid overall when
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: you step back and look at it big picture style,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: So, oh my god.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: He jumping back to Bartolomeo and he uses a barrier
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: to protect from these balls that like Lufy is about
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: to try and bounce back, and he says it's because
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: they were going to explode.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: They would have exploded.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Before you could even hit them, so he wants to
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: like keep Lufy from getting hurt. And when he does this,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Lufy says that was cool, and Bartolomeo gets all red
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: in the face and just says it was nothing. You're
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: too kind and it's very adorable. And then Lufy does
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: gum gum jet whip and Bartolomeo, I got front seats
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: to a jet whip straight to that thing's face.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: What a day. I just can't get enough of it,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: you guys.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Law is off to the side being like, can we
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: fucking speed this up please, and Bartolomeo was like, hey,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: how about you shut the fuck up. He's so irritated
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: with Law, it's extremely funny. So this is when Bartolomeo
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: is like, oh, so you need to get up to
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: that level here, and he makes a whole set of
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: stairs using this barrier, which his barrier looks like kind
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: of a smoked glass. That barrier goes so hard. I
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: cannot believe how high that's got to be, like at
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: least one hundred yards, Like more right, it's huge, this staircase.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: And this is when Luf says, thanks Pal, you're the best,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: and Bartolomeo literally the way that this is animated when
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: he says you're the best. We have a real quick
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: cut between a First, his eyes go to pinpricks like
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: he just stared into the sun. Then a like smeared
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: sort of electric colored background with his hair standing on end,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: and then he's standing on the top of like a
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: peak with lightning flashing in the background. And then it's
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: sort of like this simplified cartoon drawing, almost like a
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Picasso cartoon, with his like eyes streaming, and then him
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: smeared in a way that's supposed to indicate like a
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: speed of movement, and then it's like dark and there's
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: just the slow growth of this golden light, and then
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: eventually it backs up and it's Bartolomeo watching the sunrise
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: and his eyes are like white, his knees are shaking,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: his mouth is hanging open, and he just keeps hearing
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Lufy in his head over and over again, saying the best,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: the best, the best, And this is when he says, no,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: you're the best, and thank you, thank you for being born.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: So Lufy picks Traffy up and he begins to head
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: up that staircase and Bartolomeo is like he's on the
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: ground and it's.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Just him and.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: What is his face? Oh my god, I keep wanting
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: to say cabbage, because that's what Lufy keeps saying. Cavendish
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: and his y if like. Eventually, when they fire something else,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: he wands up sort of like taking the hit with
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: his defense but not using a barrier, and Cavendish is like, dude,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: why didn't you just use a barrier, you idiot? And
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: he has to explain, I can only make so much barrier,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: and I used it all up making that staircase, so
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: now I got to figure out a different way. And
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: he's very quick to be like and I wouldn't have
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: it any other way. I made that form, mister lufy.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: He's the only one that matters. So I'm just you know,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just doing my part. And I really liked Robin
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: once again being like I understand how you feel, dude,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: and I am one hundred percent there with you, like
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: he is the most important part of this. We briefly
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: go back over to uh Sabo and his fight with
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, what's his name? I keep wanting to
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: say Fandango. I don't know where I'm getting that from,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: but uh. He eventually stops and is like, hold on,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: what are you trying to do here? Because I know
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: you're stronger than this, and it really seems like you're
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: pulling your punches. Fujiitura that's his name, and Fujitura says,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: you're quite the odd one. Weren't you trying.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: To stall us? It doesn't seem like you.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Should be complaining, And Sabo kind of pushes it a
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: little bit, calls him old man, and he's like, well, yeah,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I am an old man and I'm fucking blind, so
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I'm just like kind of trying to
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: take it easy a little bit. And he says, I
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: guess you didn't get where you got by being kind
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: to the elderly, which.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Is a hell of a like.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's really trying to manipulate him
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: or if that's just a sort of side effect to
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: the banter, but it felt like he was trying to
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: manipulate him, and I couldn't help but be like, would
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: that work? Is Sabo like soft hearted enough? And then
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: it goes to Sabo with just the flames erupting, and
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, no, it won't work. He doesn't
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: seem to have any like softness in him towards this
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: guy at all. So then he does gravity blade and
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: he slams the blade of his sword into the ground.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: It creates all of these fissures around them, and then
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: he yells raging tiger, and.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: He sends this like.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Wind does not feel like an adequate word. It's like
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: a wave of force, like a bullet train coming at him,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't really do anything. Like Sabo is just
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: standing there holding his hat in place, but this whole
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: body seems to be utterly unaffected by it, and it
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: definitely had a moment of like is this it or
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: is there supposed to be some other effect that's like,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: you know, or like what is going on? And not
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: to mention the fact the Fuji tourist seems like so
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: unbothered by the buildings around him that he is crushing
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Like after that whole thing with the meteor, I really
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: kind of felt like Sabo, I don't want you to
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: ask him to let it all out. I feel like
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: you guys should be holding back because you're surrounded by
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: people who haven't gotten to like completely vacate this area,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: and what you're doing is affecting all of the people
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: around you. Instead, this fight just gets bigger and bigger
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: until even like all of the marines around them are
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: getting like engulfed in flames and they have to run
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: for their lives. All I'm saying is I just don't
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: think much of people who are like, they have this
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: fight that is between the two of them, and they
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: are willing to allow all of these other like bystanders
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: to be collateral damage. And I don't like the fact
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: that Sabo is encouraging Fujiitor to go harder after already
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: kind of like berating him a few episodes ago for
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: being for going overboard with the meteor thing. If you
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: really feel like that was too much, then maybe you
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: guys should just, like, I don't know, take this somewhere else,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: maybe go down to the beach and not in the
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: center of the city, or it just.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Like dial it back a little bit.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, But I just this whole time, I
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: think I'm meant to feel impressed with the level upon
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: which they are fighting, and I just found myself really
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: distracted by Like, this isn't responsible of any of you.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: I don't like this part of the fight, and I
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: don't I wanted to like both of them more, and
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: this is just bothering me at this point. So all right,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: let's see the end of the episode. Oh right, Bartolomeo
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: and his whole thing lufy climbing the stairs and Robin
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: using her floor power to grip up all of these
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: these headcracker toys and it's he she like pushes them
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: out of the way, and what's his face? Is here?
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Gladius and he is such a weird little character. I
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: enjoy him, like just for his design a lot. But uh,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: he notices that Rebecca isn't here and realizes that she
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: got away, and he's like, oh well whatever, She's just
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: one person. She's not even going to be able to
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: do anything. And it's so unfortunate that it seems like
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: he's precisely right pretty much. I mean, she sure doesn't.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: So the third of these episodes a tearful Reunion. I've
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: pretty much talked about Rebecca and her father already and
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: like how I'm feeling about the two of them. But it's,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: like I said, Diamante, just like he comes at her
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: like for a split second, and there's just this one
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: little moment and her defending. There's no like fighting back
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: in her. It just feels like she's trying to absorb
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: his blows without getting hurt, and like she hasn't even
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: been knocked down, but she's still when the camera is
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: lifted and it's supposed to be that we're seeing from
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: her perspective, it's blurred, like she has been so affected
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: by the blows that it's messing with her vision, which
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: I really don't think much of, to be perfectly honest,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: you know. So, And also she has like dropped the
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: key off to the side, and that is just like
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: in the bushes.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: So this is when Diamante, like the two of them.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: We have like a cutaway of her as a little girl,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: and Diamante is laughing and saying, like, we had some
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: really good moments in the Colosseum, didn't we. And he
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: starts laughing because Rebecca literally turns to flee. And look,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: far be it from me to criticize somebody for running
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: away from an enemy they know.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: They can't beat.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: I really honestly don't have a problem with that in
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: a vacuum. But it's because it's Rebecca. She's the only
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: one that we have seen literally run away other than Oossop,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: And the whole thing was supposed to be how shameful
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: that was for him, and eventually he is convinced.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: To come back.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: So her fleeing just feels really, really different, and I
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: was so fucking irritated by it.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: It was just it sucked. So this is when he
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: uses his.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: Like weird bending of his blade power and he slices
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: through the air her like you see her yell and
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: there's blood and she goes down, but you don't really
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: actually see an injury. I'm not supposed I'm not sure
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: if it's supposed to have been like he got her
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: on her back or what. And of course he is
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: like standing over her and she's crying, and then all
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, here is Kiros and he says, you've
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: taken enough from me, and he throws this guy like
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: a hundred yards with his sword, and Rebecca has all
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: of her flashbacks realizing that this is her father, and
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: he squares up with Diamante. I'm not sure, Like, I
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: guess he saw Diamante kill his wife because he was
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: like a toy at that point and he was standing
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: there when it happened. So like, Rebecca hasn't been aware
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: who was responsible for her mom's death, but he knew
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: the whole time.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of curious why he never told her, but
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: I guess he just figured, like, what's the point, and
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: finally Mofy is getting up to this same level and
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: eventually is able to unlock Trafalgar's uh cuffs. It's just
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: taken so long for Trafalgar to be able to fight,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: and I guess it's sort of for the best, because,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: like we've been told about how Trafalgar needs time to
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: like get his energy back up after using a lot
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: of his abilities, so he's had a good long rest
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: and hopefully his battery is on full right now. And
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: uh Diamante starts like screaming at Loofy, and Kiros has
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: to tell both of them, like, I am going to
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: take care of this fucking guy, so the kill the
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: do flamingo in my stead, I would rather handle the
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: guy who killed my wife. And they're just like, all right,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: let's get out of here. And I have to say
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: that as Rebecca is watching Lufy run away and she
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: yells out Lucy, I definitely had a moment of like, girl,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: you know that is not his fucking name, by now,
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: why do you keep calling him that? Everybody around you
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: has been like I know that's how you first met him,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: but at this point I need you to just like
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: get up to speed with everybody else. Rebecca just feels
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: like she is ugh. She has streets behind that's a
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: community reference for anybody who doesn't understand. But yeah, she
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: calls him Lucy and is like, are you sure you
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: can kill do Flamingo? And he turns around and I
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: was laughing so hard because he just says, I'm not Lucy,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, I was so annoyed.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: And then he just addressed it right away, Thank you
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: appreciate it, and he says, I'm Lufy.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be King of the.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Pirates one day, so there's no we don't need to worry,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: and he takes off and leaves her there. I swear
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: to god, Rebecca is the most useless character of this
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: whole show.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: I think I like.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Very very little about this arc would be different if
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: she didn't exist. You could really work it so that
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Kiros and his whole thing still happened, but that she
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: didn't survive, and it wouldn't matter because she has just
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: been so nothing. So anyway, Law uses his dope ass
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Shamble's power to get him and Loofy right in front
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: of the palace, and Diamante just winds up slicing a
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: barrel in half instead of Law. And then we have
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: this very funny moment when they're like in the courtyard
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: of the palace and they're like him and Lufy are
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: arguing about how they're going to handle things now, and
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Law is like, well, doing this like shambles thing takes
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: a toll on my power. Between that what is it
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: that he says? Between them and the sea prism stone
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: cuffs and you carrying my ass all the way over here,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: I can served enough strength to pull it off. And
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: then he does. He touches his abdomen and he says
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: scalpel and he pulls out a bullet that is still
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: in his torso there's three of them, and he says, like,
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: trusto flamingo, basically to have used real bullets, lead bullets,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: twisted jerk. What is it about lead? Because like, I
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: know that lead is actually poisonous, but I don't really
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: feel like that's what he meant. Here was he trying
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: to say, Like, is that is that what he meant?
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: I just was I was sort of confused here because
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: it just felt like he was pointing something out that
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: I was missing. So I don't know, but it's just
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: any bullets would be bad. I would think, I don't know,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: so Loofy is like, all right, let's head in and
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: deliver an ass kicking, and Loss stops it and says,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: do Flamingo isn't just someone you can pummel with sheer
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: will alone. You need to keep a level head. And
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: I was cracking up here because I the two of
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: them are just such different operators, and I should have
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: seen it coming that they would reach a point where
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: they're arguing and they miss the fact that they have
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: been spotted. So at one point, like do Flamingo, Trafalgar
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: is saying, like, we need to get this done and
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: be really careful about it. And then there's some fucking
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: guy who's just watching them and reporting to Sugar. I
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: have eyes on Lufy and Trafalgar law and Sugar says
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: Roger that, and we see her with her bowl of
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: grapes walking down the hall heading out to meet them, and.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: It is she gets this monologue. You guys.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: First of all, I don't feel like I have given
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: enough weight to how good the voice actress who is
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: doing Sugar's voice is, but she is really unnerving because
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: she makes her voice sound super young, so when uh,
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: when Sugar is like making threats, she just sounds so
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: creepy because she sounds like this whispery voiced little girl,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: thousands of slaves at our disposal, ten years wasted, and
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: her fucking creepy eyes. And you know, I had been
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: saying earlier, maybe she doesn't even want to be doing this,
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe I am blaming her when she's a
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: little kid and doesn't get it. And then to find
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: out that she's like been totally into this the whole time,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: and she yells about oosop, that imbecile destroyed years of
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: my hard work in an instant, and the whole way
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: that she is talking like I'm just going to brush
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: my hand over him and pow farewell, straw hat. In
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: that split second, It'll be as though you never existed.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: Everyone will forget you, you tracksh you guys. The fact
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: that it ended with you trash, that was the part
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: that really got me. I don't know why, but like
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: that felt particularly funny in a way. There was just
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: something about it that was so like aggressive, you know,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: and and yet no, no, yet, you know what that's
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: what it like. I know that she's talking about like
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: turning him into a toy and destroying him. But usually
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: when she does that, it's very much like, oh, I'm
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: just doing this because this is what it takes to win,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: and it's gotten to the very much like now it's
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: personal kind of thing, you know, and calling somebody trash
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: just feels like a particular kind of insult. And she
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: she is so young seeming still that that superiority complex
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: would have to have to call somebody that just doesn't
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: feel appropriate on her shoulders, you know what I mean.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: So like that I think is why it kind of
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: caught me off guard and made me feel a way.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Sugar is just.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Like, she's a pretty creepy villain. I really have to
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: hand it to her. She like, maybe her power is
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: kind of absurd, but the way that she has played
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: it so far I have really liked, because the more
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: I find out about her, the more upsetting she is.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: So all right, I'm gonna have to wrap this up,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: but thank you very much to everybody for listening. Thank
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: you to Seraphim for hanging out with me, thank you
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: to Florian for commissioning this episode. I would be all
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: are enjoying the coverage, And until next time to Loo Motherfuckers.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: That was an unspoiled network podcast.
