0:02
Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
0:08
Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes seven nine through seven thirty two.
0:16
Speaker 1: Four episodes this time Flame Dragon King, Protect Lufy's Life,
0:21
Speaker 1: Tears of Miracles, Menchuri's Flight, as long as we Breathe,
0:26
Speaker 1: stop the Deadly Bird Cage, and Dead or Alive of
0:30
Speaker 1: Fateful Countdown. In these episodes, we have got everybody banding
0:38
Speaker 1: together fucking finally, and we have got Lufy needing ten
0:45
Speaker 1: minutes to recover ten minutes, that's all it takes. But
0:50
Speaker 1: it does take four episodes though. Welcome to spoil Me,
1:14
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you
1:18
Speaker 1: very much to Michael for commissioning this episode. Yeah, so,
1:24
Speaker 1: Florian messaged me on Discord and said it was up
1:29
Speaker 1: to me whether or not I only wanted to watch
1:31
Speaker 1: three this time or whether I wanted to do four,
1:34
Speaker 1: And I decided to go with four because this is
1:37
Speaker 1: a law of filler in these episodes, and I think
1:40
Speaker 1: that it like ending the episode with the arc of
1:45
Speaker 1: like it starts with Loofy asking for ten minutes and
1:50
Speaker 1: then by the end of the fourth episode he has
1:53
Speaker 1: finally awakened again. That works for me. I think that's fine.
1:58
Speaker 1: So and when I say this is a lot of filler,
2:02
Speaker 1: I didn't hate this. Actually I sort of liked There's
2:07
Speaker 1: there's a moment where Zoro just starts fighting against the
2:12
Speaker 1: bird cage and everybody's like, you can't stop it, and
2:15
Speaker 1: he says, how do you know? And honestly, I fucking
2:21
Speaker 1: just love that moment so much. Like Zoro is that
2:28
Speaker 1: guy I feel like who just sort of never decides
2:32
Speaker 1: to like assume the worst necessarily, He's always gonna try
2:37
Speaker 1: and do something about whatever. Oh Saraphim is in the
2:44
Speaker 1: chat saying it's way better than the infamous dragon Ball
2:47
Speaker 1: five minutes that took five in real life hours of
2:50
Speaker 1: time to elapse. Oh boy, you know, there have been
2:56
Speaker 1: some people that have like jokingly talked about commissioning Dragon Ball,
2:59
Speaker 1: and I just really think that's not a great idea,
3:03
Speaker 1: just saying anyway, so the idea of us like fighting
3:12
Speaker 1: back against the birdcage moving, I actually really really like
3:19
Speaker 1: this idea. The only thing that I have trouble with
3:25
Speaker 1: is that it seems to me it has cut through
3:28
Speaker 1: every material except sea prism stone, and everybody is holding
3:34
Speaker 1: it back with items that are not made of sea
3:37
Speaker 1: prism stone, and I just don't see why it wouldn't
3:41
Speaker 1: cut through those things. This is something that was surprising
3:46
Speaker 1: because we have that revelation about the sea prism stone
3:51
Speaker 1: building that is not being destroyed, and I thought what
3:55
Speaker 1: we were leaning towards was like, oh, we're going to
3:58
Speaker 1: start using this material to do something to fight back
4:03
Speaker 1: against the bird cage by like breaking it up, taking
4:07
Speaker 1: parts of the walls down, and distributing the pieces of
4:11
Speaker 1: the building around the island. And then it doesn't matter.
4:17
Speaker 1: It just is that we're pushing with whatever we've got
4:22
Speaker 1: to hand, and that is enough. And I've got to say,
4:28
Speaker 1: I think that is kind of weak sauce. I just
4:33
Speaker 1: don't buy. Like, let's see, Seraphim says, the things being
4:39
Speaker 1: used are either made of sea prism stone like the
4:41
Speaker 1: factory Bart's barrier, which is unbreakable, or from people who
4:45
Speaker 1: are using really advanced armament hockey on whatever they are using. Okay,
4:51
Speaker 1: you're right, Seraphim. I forgot about the hockey thing because
4:53
Speaker 1: I was like, some of them are not doing that,
4:56
Speaker 1: but the hockey, because that's at a point the Marines
4:59
Speaker 1: get brought in. And that was a surprising thing to
5:01
Speaker 1: me because somebody says, anybody who can use hockey go
5:05
Speaker 1: that way, and I was like surprised at how many
5:08
Speaker 1: there were. I didn't expect so many dudes to know
5:10
Speaker 1: how to use it. So thank you, Sarah m Yes,
5:14
Speaker 1: that's that gives me some explanation here. I appreciate that.
5:19
Speaker 1: But yeah, like just the fact that Zoro straight up goes,
5:22
Speaker 1: how doing you know? I lived for that there was.
5:27
Speaker 1: What this does is it brings everybody sort of together
5:31
Speaker 1: and says we are going to fight back as best
5:36
Speaker 1: we can with whatever we've got. And because so much
5:41
Speaker 1: of the last trio of episodes was like there was
5:47
Speaker 1: just the townsfolk haven't been great. You know. This is
5:52
Speaker 1: the thing that I keep feeling like sad about is
5:57
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to say that we shouldn't be trying
6:01
Speaker 1: to save the people of dress Rosa, but I am
6:05
Speaker 1: saying that here as well as Fishman Islands Arc, as
6:13
Speaker 1: well as like, this is something that happens whenever you've
6:16
Speaker 1: got a large population that the straw Hats are fighting for,
6:22
Speaker 1: we always have to go back and forth with all
6:25
Speaker 1: of the civilians because we need the drama of them
6:30
Speaker 1: all being terrible people. Turning their back, refusing to help,
6:34
Speaker 1: turning on one another sometimes like whatever, And then we'll
6:38
Speaker 1: have the next couple of episodes be them finally starting
6:42
Speaker 1: to come to their senses and realizing we need to
6:44
Speaker 1: band together. And it's always like this this thing that
6:49
Speaker 1: I understand in terms of how it's supposed to be
6:54
Speaker 1: a sort of inspiring, like, oh, we have this moment
6:59
Speaker 1: of togetherness, We've found a way, but it doesn't feel
7:05
Speaker 1: like that to me when it's happening. It feels to
7:07
Speaker 1: me like everybody is acting so poorly that they don't
7:11
Speaker 1: deserve to be saved sometimes, and I don't really believe that,
7:16
Speaker 1: but it's difficult when the way that people finally come
7:20
Speaker 1: together feels so situationally dependent that it's like people who
7:26
Speaker 1: finally become empathetic after a thing happens to them. It's like,
7:31
Speaker 1: doesn't really feel like real empathy if it, you know.
7:35
Speaker 1: So what I feel with the townspeople is just everybody
7:39
Speaker 1: needs a fucking inspirational speech in order to get them
7:44
Speaker 1: to do anything, and I am just not with it.
7:50
Speaker 1: I am like, after watching Loofy and the straw Hats
7:56
Speaker 1: fighting the way they have been fighting for all of
8:02
Speaker 1: them to see Loofy collapsed in the street and run
8:06
Speaker 1: past him and be like, hey man, I wish I
8:09
Speaker 1: could help, but I can't. I can't get behind it.
8:15
Speaker 1: I can't, you know what I was saying, Like, I
8:17
Speaker 1: just feel like, y'all, if it takes this kind of
8:24
Speaker 1: speech every time, fuck you kind of maybe that's a
8:29
Speaker 1: rap on all you guys. I don't know. I don't
8:33
Speaker 1: want to feel this way, guys, I really don't. But
8:35
Speaker 1: it is just a back and forth thing and I
8:37
Speaker 1: have to acknowledge it because they become sort of key
8:42
Speaker 1: and I like the fighting back against the birdcage concept.
8:47
Speaker 1: It's just that everything just feels like it has to
8:52
Speaker 1: go so far. And that's part of the problem with
8:56
Speaker 1: the drawing out. I get that it's the filler issue,
8:59
Speaker 1: you know. But anyway, so this whole thing, we start
9:05
Speaker 1: off with what is the name of this guy who
9:11
Speaker 1: rescues Loofy, the dude with the helmet from the coliseum.
9:15
Speaker 1: I'm saying, the dude with the helmet, does that narrow
9:18
Speaker 1: it down? It's got a big red crest on it,
9:23
Speaker 1: and he asks Lufy, are you Lucy? And eventually there's
9:30
Speaker 1: a point where Lufy tells him that Sabo took his
9:33
Speaker 1: place for a little while in the fight, and I
9:36
Speaker 1: couldn't help but lol at the fact that this guy
9:38
Speaker 1: is like, that's a blatant violation of the rules. And
9:42
Speaker 1: I was just sort of like, you know what, even
9:49
Speaker 1: though it feels like, are you really worried about this
9:52
Speaker 1: right now? As somebody who myself really loves rules, I
9:55
Speaker 1: couldn't help but be like, yeah, you tell them. I'm
10:01
Speaker 1: not obviously really mad about it. It's totally fine, but
10:05
Speaker 1: I just did find it funny that they decided for
10:08
Speaker 1: this guy to have an issue with that at this point.
10:13
Speaker 1: So the thing that this guy is doing is he
10:18
Speaker 1: is agreeing that he can get Lufy the ten minutes
10:25
Speaker 1: that he needs, and Lufy he has to ask him, like,
10:32
Speaker 1: do you really think after that ten minutes that you're
10:36
Speaker 1: gonna be able to beat this guy? Do you truly
10:39
Speaker 1: believe it? And Lufy of course takes a minute to
10:42
Speaker 1: collect himself and says yes. But I appreciated the guy
10:47
Speaker 1: asking because honestly, Loufy does look like he is in
10:50
Speaker 1: such bad shape that you buy this guy ten minutes
10:52
Speaker 1: and he'll just fall asleep, like you ever have this
10:56
Speaker 1: guy's where you have just done a bunch of errands
10:58
Speaker 1: and you come home and you know that you need
11:00
Speaker 1: to wash the dishes and start making dinner, but you
11:03
Speaker 1: are just gonna take ten minutes to sit on the
11:05
Speaker 1: couch and regroup after being out and doing all these errands.
11:09
Speaker 1: And it's just the fatal mistake. You sat down, and
11:13
Speaker 1: now that's it. You are not getting up again making dinner.
11:17
Speaker 1: I will have crackers. I will eat cereal dishes tomorrow. Maybe, Like,
11:26
Speaker 1: I really do understand why this dude is sort of
11:28
Speaker 1: I'm going to go ahead and check. Is that ten
11:33
Speaker 1: minutes gonna be enough? Are you positive? Seraphim says yeats.
11:40
Speaker 1: I love him so damn much. I really wish he'd
11:42
Speaker 1: come along with the crew, not as an official straw hat,
11:45
Speaker 1: but just to hang out being their fight commentator slash
11:48
Speaker 1: hype man. If like, I do really enjoy him being
11:52
Speaker 1: the hype man, and I agree that like during different moments,
11:58
Speaker 1: it would be very funny because the way that he
12:00
Speaker 1: would commentate on different people, they might either love it
12:04
Speaker 1: or hate it. But somebody that I think it would
12:07
Speaker 1: be very fun to watch him commentate on is Chopper
12:11
Speaker 1: because Chopper can be simultaneously really surprising and you know, impressive,
12:19
Speaker 1: or he can be an adorable little guy, and it's
12:23
Speaker 1: just sort of who knows how it's gonna shake out,
12:27
Speaker 1: you know. So I would I would have a lot
12:30
Speaker 1: of fun watching that, just seeing the way that he
12:32
Speaker 1: decides that he's going to, like if he's going to
12:36
Speaker 1: really hype them up, or if he's going to be like, Wow,
12:38
Speaker 1: never saw them coming. I thought they'd be useless, and
12:41
Speaker 1: it turns out they could do something. So as this
12:47
Speaker 1: is all happening, he is getting together a bunch of
12:51
Speaker 1: the other dudes who are from the the coliseum as
12:57
Speaker 1: well other guys who had been fighting, and they agree
13:04
Speaker 1: that they're going to do their best to stand up
13:06
Speaker 1: against Do Flamingo and keep him busy for ten minutes. Now.
13:14
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, guys, but I was a
13:21
Speaker 1: little dismayed on behalf of these men because I have
13:25
Speaker 1: seen what Do Flamingo can do to people who have
13:29
Speaker 1: devil fruit powers, and it just seemed to me that
13:35
Speaker 1: this was going to be unevenly matched, to say the least.
13:43
Speaker 1: And you know, eventually you see these guys getting fucking
13:48
Speaker 1: like speared on the end of his threads and held
13:52
Speaker 1: up into the air in a way that's just desperately
14:00
Speaker 1: like humiliating, I guess is really the best way to
14:02
Speaker 1: say it. But I appreciate that they are willing to
14:09
Speaker 1: do it. I just think that when we are seeing
14:12
Speaker 1: them about to go up against do Flamingo, what I
14:18
Speaker 1: would have rather seen here. And this is just me
14:22
Speaker 1: being a little bit fucked up, but I'm gonna say it,
14:27
Speaker 1: these guys all seem a little bit too confident that
14:31
Speaker 1: they are going to be able to do anything to
14:33
Speaker 1: do Flamingo. They just really seem to believe they're going
14:39
Speaker 1: to make a difference, like in hurting him. At one point,
14:44
Speaker 1: one of the guys says to Lufy, like, maybe by
14:47
Speaker 1: the time you get back up will have taken care
14:50
Speaker 1: of him. And while I deeply appreciate that they are
14:58
Speaker 1: trying to be like positive in the moment and set
15:01
Speaker 1: a certain like example and tone to this, I kind
15:05
Speaker 1: of would have liked if it felt like everybody was going, Okay,
15:13
Speaker 1: I know I'm about to die. I'm going into this
15:16
Speaker 1: with the awareness that this is probably me saying goodbye
15:22
Speaker 1: to life forever. And even though that's the case, I
15:27
Speaker 1: am still willing to put myself on the line because I,
15:32
Speaker 1: oh straw hat that much, because I believe that in
15:34
Speaker 1: the end he will be able to do the thing.
15:37
Speaker 1: I wanted there to be more of a solemnity to it,
15:43
Speaker 1: if that makes sense, just because it like I just
15:51
Speaker 1: them seeming to think that they can do anything doesn't
15:58
Speaker 1: feel like it makes sense. They just saw this man
16:03
Speaker 1: defeat two of the most powerful people on this island.
16:06
Speaker 1: And when I say defeat, like, okay, they're not dead,
16:09
Speaker 1: but like Law was pretty close. He did lose an arm,
16:14
Speaker 1: and Lufy has been like taken down for the count.
16:18
Speaker 1: Ten minutes out for Loufy. That's a pretty long time
16:21
Speaker 1: all things considered. So anyway, all these dudes just going
16:26
Speaker 1: out there and just being like, yeah, we're about to
16:28
Speaker 1: do this, and they gather around do flamingo and they
16:31
Speaker 1: actually start like chuckling to themselves like they're going to
16:36
Speaker 1: accomplish fucking anything. And there was something about it that
16:40
Speaker 1: just made me go, I don't know, then go die,
16:45
Speaker 1: Like you guys had to have seen the same fight
16:47
Speaker 1: that I saw. What do you Why are you sure
16:52
Speaker 1: at all that this is going to work? Like what
16:55
Speaker 1: do you? Where are you getting this profound self confidence from?
17:01
Speaker 1: And I feel like I wanted this to be treated
17:06
Speaker 1: much more as like, look at this massive sacrifice that
17:09
Speaker 1: all of these men are willing to give and just
17:15
Speaker 1: have it be kind of like maybe a moment where
17:18
Speaker 1: Lufy is watching and he feels the weight of the
17:22
Speaker 1: expectations because all of these dudes are literally willing to
17:27
Speaker 1: die just to buy him ten minutes. You know. I
17:32
Speaker 1: know that they're not actually going to die, because that's
17:34
Speaker 1: not how this show works, granted, but I think that
17:42
Speaker 1: that could have been a really like, kind of high
17:45
Speaker 1: impact emotional moment, and it could have worked really well.
17:50
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. So, Okay, we have a moment
17:54
Speaker 1: the confrontation between Burgess and Sabo as well, where just
18:00
Speaker 1: goes after Sabo and he Sabo finally is like, Okay,
18:05
Speaker 1: I guess it's true that everybody that's working with Teach
18:09
Speaker 1: has basically agreed that they're going to kill every Devil
18:14
Speaker 1: Fruit user that they can in order to try and
18:18
Speaker 1: steal their power away from them. Not super interested in this,
18:26
Speaker 1: but I will say that I'm glad Burgess is being
18:30
Speaker 1: taken care of by somebody other than Loofy. I knew
18:35
Speaker 1: that that was likely going to have to happen. But
18:40
Speaker 1: I thought there would be more of a sense of
18:42
Speaker 1: him trying to get a loofy and somebody having to
18:45
Speaker 1: constantly jump in and protect him, And instead it's a
18:50
Speaker 1: feeling much more like Loofy is out of the picture
18:55
Speaker 1: for right now, and I am coming in asking you
18:58
Speaker 1: what the hell it is that you are trying to
19:01
Speaker 1: accomplish here, because I have shit to do and I
19:06
Speaker 1: have issues that I want to talk to you about,
19:09
Speaker 1: and I'm going to get involved for my own reasons
19:12
Speaker 1: that actually have nothing to do with Luviy. It feels
19:15
Speaker 1: to me like Sabo is like, straight on, just what
19:18
Speaker 1: are you doing here? And any and is this about
19:23
Speaker 1: me in any way? I don't mean that in like
19:25
Speaker 1: a shitty way. I feel like it sounds that way,
19:28
Speaker 1: but what I'm saying is just I was worried that
19:33
Speaker 1: this was going to feel really tedious, because it was
19:36
Speaker 1: just going to be watching Lufy targeted but unable to
19:41
Speaker 1: fight the whole time. And instead, even though I'm not
19:44
Speaker 1: super interested, I felt like at least it was dealt
19:47
Speaker 1: with somewhat quickly, that it's just the two of them
19:51
Speaker 1: up against each other and then they get sort of
19:53
Speaker 1: interrupted eventually by the huge attack from Do Flamingo, because
20:00
Speaker 1: he is up and he is using his threads that
20:04
Speaker 1: have like this dark purple tip to them, which I
20:08
Speaker 1: think is meant to be hockey on the actual threads,
20:14
Speaker 1: or perhaps it's meant to be blood, and it's just
20:16
Speaker 1: sort of like the dark. There's a big fire behind him,
20:22
Speaker 1: and there's a sense of maybe this is supposed to
20:25
Speaker 1: be like shadow and it is blood, but it just
20:29
Speaker 1: looks that way. I don't know if it's hockey or not.
20:32
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it needs to be hockey, because
20:36
Speaker 1: they're you know, he's piercing through just human bodies and
20:39
Speaker 1: he has never seemed to need hockey to do that
20:41
Speaker 1: in the past. So okay, Then we go to man
20:48
Speaker 1: Cherie's flight episode seven thirty, and we have all of
20:54
Speaker 1: the townspeople running. This is one of the points where
20:57
Speaker 1: they are passing by Loofy, and we have got all
21:00
Speaker 1: these guys who are on the ground, these like really
21:04
Speaker 1: they are competitors in the arena that have been they've
21:10
Speaker 1: made it to the final levels, and there's this moment
21:15
Speaker 1: where they are laying on the ground and you just
21:18
Speaker 1: see these little moats that are falling almost looking like
21:22
Speaker 1: fireflies or something. As this is happening, the dudes who
21:30
Speaker 1: are still conscious are gathered around all of the ones
21:34
Speaker 1: or who are fallen, and they're commenting on how like, oh, yeah,
21:38
Speaker 1: these guys are not going to be of any help
21:40
Speaker 1: to us. They are they have been removed from play.
21:46
Speaker 1: And then they look up and they see these moats falling,
21:49
Speaker 1: and Leo he Robin looks up first and just says,
21:54
Speaker 1: what's that? And Leo has a gasp like he knows
21:57
Speaker 1: exactly what's going on here, and we see one hit
22:01
Speaker 1: the chest of macho man Randy Savage. How how's Rudin?
22:07
Speaker 1: I can't remember his name. I think it's h J.
22:10
Speaker 1: Something has Ruden, I think, And his eyes open and
22:16
Speaker 1: he stands up and we find out later that this
22:19
Speaker 1: was Mancherry like doing that healing thing on everybody, and
22:25
Speaker 1: eventually all of our guys get back up. It's a
22:31
Speaker 1: pretty great moment, honestly, I was really because, I, you know,
22:39
Speaker 1: we have had enough of the bad guys getting their
22:42
Speaker 1: second chances, getting to stand up and frighten and terrify
22:51
Speaker 1: the person that they're fighting by seemingly being unstoppable. And
22:57
Speaker 1: I just personally was gratified to see that, yeah, we've
23:03
Speaker 1: got like even the good guys also get their second chances,
23:08
Speaker 1: that it's not just I'm trying to do this to
23:11
Speaker 1: shock and sadden you and make things harder for our dudes,
23:15
Speaker 1: and Mensuri's power being used this way where it's like
23:20
Speaker 1: just drifting over the populace. There was something about it
23:27
Speaker 1: that I really liked in terms of efficiency. I guess
23:35
Speaker 1: because you guys know that I like, love me some logistics.
23:39
Speaker 1: It has occurred to me now because y'all know all
23:42
Speaker 1: I have done this whole episode or this whole arc
23:47
Speaker 1: is Lament, how many fucking people are dying. It's constantly
23:53
Speaker 1: me just being like the whole town would be dead.
23:56
Speaker 1: Look at all the buildings that got destroyed. And now
23:59
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think, is it possible for Mancherry to
24:03
Speaker 1: fix the whole of Dress Rosa with her tears? Honestly,
24:09
Speaker 1: I wouldn't hate it. It's the sort of thing that
24:12
Speaker 1: I feel could be seen by many people rightfully so
24:16
Speaker 1: as a little bit of a cheat. Okay, do I care? Not?
24:23
Speaker 1: Really Like this show does little cheats all the time,
24:28
Speaker 1: and I feel like watching the whole town get completely
24:32
Speaker 1: like decimated, devastated. It's more than ten percent, right, decimated
24:39
Speaker 1: is only ten percent? I personally was made so anxious
24:47
Speaker 1: by this so many times that just finding a way
24:50
Speaker 1: to undo it no problem, you know. I just think
24:55
Speaker 1: that would make me happy rather than feeling like that's
24:59
Speaker 1: too easy. So just going on record saying mat right
25:03
Speaker 1: out of the gate, Right out of the gate, all right,
25:07
Speaker 1: So let's see, I'm trying to see the moment where
25:09
Speaker 1: we've got because more motes continue to come down, and
25:14
Speaker 1: they're hitting the townspeople as well. There are folks who
25:18
Speaker 1: are trying to run from the bird cage, and one
25:21
Speaker 1: of the dudes says, like, how he twisted his ankle
25:24
Speaker 1: and he's not going to be able to keep up,
25:26
Speaker 1: and this is the best I can do, And these
25:29
Speaker 1: little motes that fall hit him, and all of a
25:33
Speaker 1: sudden he is able to take off past the two
25:35
Speaker 1: healthy people in front of him because I guess his
25:38
Speaker 1: uh ankle is totally healed. It was like I wondered
25:44
Speaker 1: if he had if the two people who were healthy
25:47
Speaker 1: had been hit, which I'm surprised they weren't also hit
25:52
Speaker 1: by these, but maybe because they don't have an actual injury.
25:56
Speaker 1: It doesn't bother them. But I feel like everybody should
25:59
Speaker 1: be tired enough that healing should still do something to them.
26:05
Speaker 1: And yeah, we have Leo talking about like anywhere they
26:09
Speaker 1: hit is going to bring people miraculous discoveries, and Mancherry
26:16
Speaker 1: is so filled with grief as she is looking at
26:20
Speaker 1: the devastation that has been wreaked on her home that
26:24
Speaker 1: the tears she is letting fall, there's plenty of them
26:30
Speaker 1: to go around, and he says, but it does have
26:33
Speaker 1: a drawback. The effect is temporary. After three minutes have passed,
26:40
Speaker 1: everyone will revert to their former states, so it's a
26:43
Speaker 1: life support thing rather than like a complete cure. Now
26:49
Speaker 1: I get that this is this, but we know that
26:51
Speaker 1: she has the ability to actually bring people not back
26:56
Speaker 1: to life, but like, you know, really cure people. So
26:59
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that maybe there's a way to do this
27:02
Speaker 1: later on. But yeah, I love the dude who's got
27:05
Speaker 1: a broken leg and he just hops up on his
27:08
Speaker 1: cast and starts sprinting, and he's like, oh my god,
27:13
Speaker 1: it's like the pain just went away. Man Sherie later
27:19
Speaker 1: on kind of laments what she's done here and says
27:22
Speaker 1: that she feels like she gave everybody false hope. I
27:28
Speaker 1: actually get why she'd feel that way, but of course
27:30
Speaker 1: I don't agree with her. You know, it's just unfair.
27:38
Speaker 1: You tried to give people another shot. You succeeded in
27:44
Speaker 1: doing that, and I just I don't know what else
27:51
Speaker 1: are you supposed to do? That's that's my main question,
27:55
Speaker 1: is like what other option would you have chosen to take?
27:58
Speaker 1: Because in my opinion, if you've got the ability to
28:05
Speaker 1: give people a boost for three minutes, you're not gonna
28:09
Speaker 1: not do it right. So you did the best you could. Girl,
28:13
Speaker 1: It's fine. I like man CHERI it's so funny because
28:18
Speaker 1: I was just worried about what she was going to
28:21
Speaker 1: be like, and then it has turned out to be
28:23
Speaker 1: there was nothing to worry about whatsoever, because she was
28:26
Speaker 1: just being wildly misrepresented by Leo, who is a jerk.
28:32
Speaker 1: I think Leo might be a jerk and or just
28:37
Speaker 1: unreasonable maybe is a nicer way to say it. But
28:40
Speaker 1: it is just a nice surprise for me because I
28:42
Speaker 1: really thought Mancherry was going to be a certain type
28:46
Speaker 1: and then it turns out not at all. That's not
28:48
Speaker 1: what's happening here. So let's see IM trying to get
28:53
Speaker 1: to the end of this episode where Trafalgar he let's see,
29:01
Speaker 1: he is come across by what's his face? Oh my god,
29:07
Speaker 1: you guys just told me this. Rfmyets that's his name,
29:12
Speaker 1: and he has one of his arms back on, which
29:18
Speaker 1: I'm assuming is part of this like temporary healing thing
29:26
Speaker 1: that the episode ends with him like slowly getting to
29:29
Speaker 1: his feet and gats being like, holy shit, what are
29:33
Speaker 1: you doing here? It is very funny to me later
29:38
Speaker 1: when Cabbage turns around and it's just like, hey, I'm
29:42
Speaker 1: so sorry, but I've got to go, like, you know,
29:48
Speaker 1: pay attention to my fans. He didn't even notice that
29:54
Speaker 1: Trafalgar had gone away. I didn't even think about the
29:58
Speaker 1: fact that Cab was sitting somewhere. When Trafalgar turns up,
30:03
Speaker 1: it didn't occur to me, like didn't he say he
30:05
Speaker 1: was going to watch him? So when he starts talking
30:09
Speaker 1: about like, oh, popularity, it's got to be me. I'm
30:13
Speaker 1: so sorry. And he starts to turn around and I
30:14
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, but Trafalgar's gone, isn't he Who
30:18
Speaker 1: is he talking to? And it turns out that our
30:20
Speaker 1: guy just didn't know that he was gone, which I
30:24
Speaker 1: thought was very very funny. I just I like this character.
30:29
Speaker 1: At first, I found him the jokes to be like
30:32
Speaker 1: very easy, low hanging fruit, sort of obvious, you know
30:34
Speaker 1: what I mean. But I gradually have started to come
30:38
Speaker 1: around on him and feel like he is giving everything
30:42
Speaker 1: it's all so heavy, so much of the time, you know,
30:45
Speaker 1: he is giving everything a dose of humor and lightness
30:51
Speaker 1: here and there that we really really need. So I'm
30:55
Speaker 1: kind of into it. And of course it turns out
30:59
Speaker 1: later when he thinks that they are talking about him
31:01
Speaker 1: because of his popularity and how he was a star
31:04
Speaker 1: in the making, that they are talking actually about Loufy.
31:08
Speaker 1: But it seems like maybe having lost law is distraction
31:13
Speaker 1: enough that he's not going to take that too terribly
31:15
Speaker 1: much to heart. I guess we'll see, but I do
31:20
Speaker 1: I'm going to be honest, guys, I wouldn't mind seeing
31:24
Speaker 1: Hakuma again. That's his name, right, the weird double what's
31:30
Speaker 1: the word alter ego? He is just it's or maybe
31:34
Speaker 1: it is at Hakubah it's a bee, right. I really
31:37
Speaker 1: do enjoy this weird thing, and I would be interested
31:42
Speaker 1: in him unleashing that at Do Flamingo specifically, just because
31:47
Speaker 1: he seems utterly unstoppable. I just want to see what
31:51
Speaker 1: Do Flamingo does because he's so fast and he is
31:56
Speaker 1: so without fear, and I genuinely can't decide how this
32:03
Speaker 1: would happen. What would happen? Yeah, I don't know. I'm
32:10
Speaker 1: just I wouldn't mind seeing that. Sorry, I'm going over
32:18
Speaker 1: like because I'm jumping around here guys wanting to talk
32:21
Speaker 1: about everything and make sure that I don't miss anything.
32:24
Speaker 1: And there is a lot of sort of departing to
32:27
Speaker 1: different characters just to see their reactions to little things,
32:31
Speaker 1: but it's not really too big a deal. In this
32:34
Speaker 1: third of these episodes, this is when we get Zoro
32:38
Speaker 1: deciding to press back against the bird cage and everybody
32:41
Speaker 1: starting to get on board with him, and Frankie encouraging
32:45
Speaker 1: the Tontata to push against the factory building and hold
32:50
Speaker 1: it back, et cetera. Then we get violent coming and
32:57
Speaker 1: fighting Do Flamingo. I really really enjoyed the start of it,
33:06
Speaker 1: her just deciding that she was gonna fucking fight, because
33:10
Speaker 1: if I care about my country and I don't try
33:13
Speaker 1: and resist this man, then what use am I Honestly,
33:18
Speaker 1: that energy was doing it for me. I really really
33:21
Speaker 1: liked it. It's a real shame that things go in
33:26
Speaker 1: the direction that they go, you guys, because you know,
33:30
Speaker 1: as you all probably are aware, the uh she gets
33:37
Speaker 1: got caught up by him after some pretty fun knife
33:42
Speaker 1: work that I was like enjoying watching, actually, and it
33:48
Speaker 1: like I didn't expect her to beat him, just to
33:51
Speaker 1: be clear, I was hoping that things would take a
33:56
Speaker 1: little bit longer to go so terribly left. And then
34:00
Speaker 1: of course he has to have his like moment of
34:03
Speaker 1: monologuing where he tells her, I bet you thought that
34:06
Speaker 1: because you were part of my family that I would
34:09
Speaker 1: go easy on you, which I was like, not only
34:12
Speaker 1: do I not think that she thought that, but I
34:15
Speaker 1: don't think anybody would expect that. And he says something
34:19
Speaker 1: like I always forgive family for their mistakes, but betrayal
34:25
Speaker 1: is a different thing entirely, And I was like, yeah,
34:29
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like we'd all we do all
34:32
Speaker 1: know that nobody would expect you to go easy on her,
34:35
Speaker 1: Like at all. We've seen the way that do Flamingo
34:39
Speaker 1: reacts to betrayal. We all know that is a trigger
34:42
Speaker 1: for him at this point, you know, and unfortunately what
34:47
Speaker 1: this eventually turns into is let's let's watch Do Flamingo
34:59
Speaker 1: not only can Violet, but then Rebecca turns up to
35:04
Speaker 1: help and gets grabbed up by Do Flamingo also, and
35:09
Speaker 1: he starts using his puppeting power to control her as well.
35:16
Speaker 1: And I will tell you what, I hated this more
35:22
Speaker 1: than anything so far. And I think the reason I
35:25
Speaker 1: hated it so much is just the thing that you
35:28
Speaker 1: put probably could piece together. He like Do Flamingo's whole deal,
35:40
Speaker 1: being as unbeatable as he is, there's no surprise to
35:43
Speaker 1: me that they can't do anything. But I was thinking
35:47
Speaker 1: that maybe the women were going to get a chance
35:50
Speaker 1: to be real badasses and do something again. They don't
35:55
Speaker 1: have to beat him in order to put on a
35:57
Speaker 1: fucking good effort. But Day gets captured quickly, and then Rebecca,
36:06
Speaker 1: who has just not done anything, just like repeatedly not
36:13
Speaker 1: done anything. I was just maybe we're gonna get some Rebecca,
36:19
Speaker 1: like maybe she's gonna and it doesn't happen. It doesn't happen.
36:25
Speaker 1: She just winds up getting controlled by him and she
36:30
Speaker 1: can't resist it. And I don't blame her for that,
36:32
Speaker 1: Like that is clearly the way that this power works.
36:36
Speaker 1: I don't feel like we've met anybody who can resist
36:39
Speaker 1: what he does to them in this regard. But I
36:45
Speaker 1: wanted eventually, when she's about to strike, there's this like
36:53
Speaker 1: shocking gasp, she opens her eyes. Loofy has stepped between
36:59
Speaker 1: her and Violet, and they have this moment, you know,
37:03
Speaker 1: of like thank you for stopping me. I'm not going
37:06
Speaker 1: to let you hurt your friend. I'm not going to
37:08
Speaker 1: let him hurt her. And it was just a little
37:13
Speaker 1: bit of a bummer to me that, like there wasn't
37:18
Speaker 1: a way around her getting saved by Loofy, because all
37:24
Speaker 1: it has been for Rebecca is her needing to Oh
37:29
Speaker 1: that's right, thank you, Saraphim says. Lufy didn't step between them,
37:33
Speaker 1: he had lost swap him and Viola. That's right, because
37:37
Speaker 1: Viola is off to the side all of a sudden,
37:39
Speaker 1: and it's just like, wait, what the fuck happened? But
37:42
Speaker 1: I just wanted I want Rebecca to like actually accomplish
37:48
Speaker 1: anything without needing to be saved by somebody else, and
37:53
Speaker 1: Oda just clearly has no interest in that. I guess
37:57
Speaker 1: it's just really fucking annoying. It's just really irritating to watch.
38:06
Speaker 1: She is such a complete waste of a character. I
38:11
Speaker 1: don't get the point of her except to be pathetic
38:14
Speaker 1: all the time. And it sucks. It just really sucks.
38:18
Speaker 1: Like as far as Achilles heels of an arc, Rebecca
38:24
Speaker 1: should be removed. If I were going to be making
38:27
Speaker 1: this for the live action series, if I were going
38:31
Speaker 1: to be taking this arc and adapting it, I would
38:34
Speaker 1: either have Rebecca do a whole lot more fighting and
38:37
Speaker 1: not need to be saved, or I would just remove
38:39
Speaker 1: her entirely. And I really don't want to remove her
38:44
Speaker 1: entirely because there are so few women characters, but she
38:47
Speaker 1: isn't really representing for us at all. So if that's
38:50
Speaker 1: what we've got to do, that's what we've got to do.
38:52
Speaker 1: I would rather she be able to take care of herself.
38:57
Speaker 1: But sorry, Floria's in the chat saying, yeah, never think
39:03
Speaker 1: now it is her time with Rebecca. You will always
39:05
Speaker 1: be disappointed, And honestly, that is all I've been doing
39:09
Speaker 1: this arc. Every time she does something, I think maybe here, here,
39:12
Speaker 1: it's the moment, and you're right. I have just been
39:15
Speaker 1: disappointed every single time. It's just almost a joke at
39:20
Speaker 1: this point, and I like it's it's it wouldn't feel
39:26
Speaker 1: so fucking frustrating. I think in this episode if it
39:32
Speaker 1: weren't for the fact that Violet has been captured also,
39:36
Speaker 1: so it just feels like we are making fools out
39:40
Speaker 1: of both of these women, and I would have liked
39:45
Speaker 1: Violet to be able to do something at the very least.
39:48
Speaker 1: Maybe if she continues to fight Do Flamingo, she can
39:53
Speaker 1: keep him paying attention to her and not notice that
39:56
Speaker 1: Lufi is up, and so Lufy could make make an
40:01
Speaker 1: attack of his own while Do Flamingo's attention was distracted.
40:05
Speaker 1: For example, like that would be something where she's contributing
40:09
Speaker 1: without actually being so powerful that she's a real match
40:12
Speaker 1: for him, which I don't think would work. You know,
40:15
Speaker 1: that's not where her power is. And I just like, overall,
40:25
Speaker 1: there are many things that we could have done with
40:27
Speaker 1: her in terms of fighting, using her power to see
40:31
Speaker 1: ahead the moves that he's going to make and stuff.
40:33
Speaker 1: You know, it's just there's I just feel like there's
40:39
Speaker 1: a lot of potential that we could have used, and
40:41
Speaker 1: instead we chose the most like kind of diminishing options
40:48
Speaker 1: for both of them. Sarah Fim says Lufy using stealth.
40:53
Speaker 1: I did not say that, I said she could distract
40:56
Speaker 1: do Flamingo. Nobody ever said Lufi is stealthy. Don't put
41:00
Speaker 1: words in my mouth, but she could definitely as Lufy
41:05
Speaker 1: is struggling to his feet, keep dofl Mingo from looking
41:07
Speaker 1: in that direction and be like willing to put it
41:10
Speaker 1: on the line, Like this is the same thing as
41:12
Speaker 1: with the men at the beginning of the episode that
41:14
Speaker 1: I was talking about, who they're going into this acting
41:17
Speaker 1: like they have any chance against Do Flamingo and they
41:19
Speaker 1: get killed almost instantly. If they go into it knowing
41:23
Speaker 1: that's going to happen, which we would all fucking know
41:26
Speaker 1: after seeing the fights we've seen, then there's more gravity
41:30
Speaker 1: to it. If Violet goes into this and she knows
41:34
Speaker 1: I Am not going to be able to beat him,
41:36
Speaker 1: but I can buy some time. That's something. And just like, honestly, again,
41:47
Speaker 1: take out fucking Rebecca, remove her. I just don't see it.
41:54
Speaker 1: I the whole length of the scene where she is
42:02
Speaker 1: being forced to raise her sword against Violet, it was
42:07
Speaker 1: just agony, you guys, because I don't care about her.
42:11
Speaker 1: It's drawn out so much. I know that she's not
42:14
Speaker 1: going to be able to fight back no matter what
42:16
Speaker 1: she does, And I also have no doubt that Viola
42:19
Speaker 1: isn't actually going to get sliced up by Rebecca, Like
42:22
Speaker 1: I just don't think that's happening either, So I felt like, Okay,
42:26
Speaker 1: now I just have to sit through this. So this
42:32
Speaker 1: is when we jump in the fourth of these episodes
42:36
Speaker 1: to gets on the cliff side, and he starts doing
42:40
Speaker 1: his announcer thing, and some guy is yelling, I don't
42:44
Speaker 1: know what you think you're doing, but now is not
42:46
Speaker 1: the time, which honestly I could not help put lol
42:50
Speaker 1: at because that was a fair thing to say, Like
42:55
Speaker 1: I know that he is worrying about dress Rosa, that
42:59
Speaker 1: this is all him trying to do something real, and
43:03
Speaker 1: I have faith in his like his little plan, whatever
43:08
Speaker 1: that might be. However, it did just like make me
43:15
Speaker 1: laugh to think that nobody else has been privy to
43:19
Speaker 1: the little conversation that he had with Loofy or the
43:21
Speaker 1: organizing of these guys that happened before, Like I don't
43:23
Speaker 1: think anybody has seen that. So all they're just seeing
43:26
Speaker 1: is a guy who does the calls for the WWE
43:30
Speaker 1: competition in the middle of a war, deciding that he's
43:33
Speaker 1: going to get on the mic, which really would not
43:36
Speaker 1: inspire confidence. I can understand being like, dude, are you
43:40
Speaker 1: fucking serious? Who called for you? Nobody wants to like
43:44
Speaker 1: stop it, and eventually he does his whole like hype
43:50
Speaker 1: man routine. But uh, it was very funny the reaction,
43:54
Speaker 1: because once I stopped and put myself in the context
43:57
Speaker 1: of these people, I would be like, I would have
44:00
Speaker 1: the same response, just like, bruh, what are you doing?
44:06
Speaker 1: So this is when he starts talking about the hero
44:09
Speaker 1: who lit up the colisseum like a shining star, and
44:14
Speaker 1: we cut over to a Cavendish who's chuckling to himself,
44:19
Speaker 1: turns and realizes that law is not there, and then
44:24
Speaker 1: we cut back to Rebecca, who is literally as she
44:28
Speaker 1: is trying to fight back against do Flamingo, is just
44:32
Speaker 1: saying Lucy, please help me, which just so fucking lame.
44:39
Speaker 1: And this is when the guy says, oh, remember Loofy
44:42
Speaker 1: in the fighting pits. He had another name. Do you
44:46
Speaker 1: want to hear it? He is a pirate known a
44:50
Speaker 1: straw hat monkey d Louviy, and all of the townspeople gasp.
44:57
Speaker 1: One guy says, he sure had me fooled with that beard.
45:01
Speaker 1: That's the guy King Ricu was talking about before, right,
45:05
Speaker 1: He sure had me fooled with that beard had me
45:07
Speaker 1: rolling because that beard was like a piece of fucking
45:10
Speaker 1: construction paper, like let's stop it, sir. And then Gatz
45:15
Speaker 1: is like, I understand that he is a pirate, and
45:18
Speaker 1: you've been manipulated by a pirate for years, and so
45:21
Speaker 1: you might not want to trust him, but he isn't
45:24
Speaker 1: like the don Quixote family who tried to pass themselves
45:28
Speaker 1: off as saviors, and you don't have to trust me.
45:33
Speaker 1: Listen to King Riku, who placed his faith in straw
45:38
Speaker 1: hat Loofy. And there are some guys that are talking
45:42
Speaker 1: down in the square, and one of them says something like,
45:46
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't listen to King Riku last time
45:51
Speaker 1: when he tried to tell us, you know, like what
45:55
Speaker 1: was going on and that he didn't do this stuff,
45:58
Speaker 1: and that resulted in Don Quixote do Flamingo getting to
46:03
Speaker 1: take over. So maybe we should listen to him this
46:08
Speaker 1: time about who is actually the one that's going to
46:13
Speaker 1: help us. We should have trusted him in the first place,
46:18
Speaker 1: and we believe do Flamingo a fucking like newcomer, who
46:23
Speaker 1: why did we put our faith in him over the
46:26
Speaker 1: king that we had trusted for years and years, And honestly,
46:30
Speaker 1: that was a very good question, Like I understand the
46:34
Speaker 1: way that he made this man kill his own people.
46:37
Speaker 1: I don't get me wrong, I do not blame them
46:41
Speaker 1: for not like wanting to believe this guy. But I
46:46
Speaker 1: also felt like they clearly had not heard him out
46:51
Speaker 1: or gotten like a decent explanation and the idea that
46:56
Speaker 1: he has been so good to you this whole time
46:58
Speaker 1: and then just snaps overnight and some guy shows up
47:00
Speaker 1: and says, oh, I can save you, just make me king. Really,
47:06
Speaker 1: when you look back with your twenty twenty vision, it
47:09
Speaker 1: does seem sus it does sort of seem like maybe
47:12
Speaker 1: we should have questioned a little bit more the timing
47:15
Speaker 1: of this guy who turned up and said that he
47:17
Speaker 1: could fix it all. After this dude had been great
47:20
Speaker 1: to us for like decades. Probably we should have asked
47:24
Speaker 1: more questions than that. And this is when Yatz tells
47:29
Speaker 1: them that he spoke to Loofy earlier and he made
47:34
Speaker 1: me a promise that he'll face do Flamingo for us,
47:38
Speaker 1: and he just needed ten minutes to recover, and he says,
47:46
Speaker 1: and he'll knock him out in one punch, which everybody
47:50
Speaker 1: starts cheering personally, that probably would have fallen a little
47:54
Speaker 1: bit flat for me because the the like that's a lot,
48:00
Speaker 1: that's a lot to promise. I just wouldn't have bought it,
48:03
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. But I can say that getting
48:08
Speaker 1: him back, like getting everybody on the side of supporting Lufy,
48:12
Speaker 1: I appreciated because I was just sick of seeing folks
48:16
Speaker 1: who were watching him get beat to a pulp act
48:20
Speaker 1: as if he wasn't doing anything, you know, act as
48:23
Speaker 1: if there was no real reason to trust him, or
48:26
Speaker 1: that he's like doing this for his own reasons. Honestly,
48:30
Speaker 1: even if he were, do Flamingo is your enemy. I
48:37
Speaker 1: just don't see that there's anything Lufy could have done
48:42
Speaker 1: that would be worse than what do Flamingo has done
48:45
Speaker 1: out of the gate. Right now, Do Flamingo is like
48:48
Speaker 1: literally leveling your city. I think that we could safely
48:52
Speaker 1: just say that taking that one dude out who's doing
48:57
Speaker 1: that is probably going to be a step up from
49:01
Speaker 1: what's been going on. So anyway, this is when the
49:08
Speaker 1: three minutes is up for all of the people who
49:11
Speaker 1: had been recovered because of the little I can't remember
49:17
Speaker 1: what they were called, but the recovery that mon Cherry
49:22
Speaker 1: gave to all of them, and Robin, who had been
49:26
Speaker 1: helping hold back all of the bird cage like on
49:30
Speaker 1: her side, is going, wait, they're dropping like flies. Oh
49:35
Speaker 1: my god. And this is when Leo says, yeah, and
49:38
Speaker 1: they aren't going to work twice and we go up
49:41
Speaker 1: to Mancherry and says, I'm sorry, that's the best I
49:44
Speaker 1: can do. My ability just isn't good enough. I did
49:47
Speaker 1: an awful thing. I gave them hope and then I
49:50
Speaker 1: yanked it away. And Cubbs says, if it wasn't for
49:55
Speaker 1: your help, there's no way of telling just how many
49:57
Speaker 1: lives the bird cage might have claimed to day. Do
50:01
Speaker 1: you see you made a miracle happen down there? And
50:07
Speaker 1: I did really like this moment. Cub is cute, cub
50:11
Speaker 1: is pretty adorable. So yeah, there are people and he's like,
50:16
Speaker 1: we're gonna be bringing in fresh troops and say is yelling,
50:20
Speaker 1: we'll hold the line at any cost, and he says
50:26
Speaker 1: they were able to stall it long enough. Thanks to you,
50:28
Speaker 1: they'll survive. To Lufilin returns and she has the stars
50:34
Speaker 1: in her eyes looking down at the whole thing. Let's
50:36
Speaker 1: begin the countdown to Lucy's come back. I do think
50:41
Speaker 1: it's funny that they insist on calling him Lucy still,
50:44
Speaker 1: like you know whatever. Anyway, as Yats is like announcing
50:51
Speaker 1: and counting down, Do Flamingo spears him through the gut
50:59
Speaker 1: and just says, you've had your fun. I couldn't even
51:07
Speaker 1: be mad, Like I imagine that you're the bad guy
51:12
Speaker 1: and you've got somebody literally doing like a play by
51:15
Speaker 1: play about how you ain't shit and this guy's gonna
51:18
Speaker 1: take you down, and look at this bitch ass. Of
51:21
Speaker 1: course you are just going to want to take the
51:23
Speaker 1: guy out. It didn't occur to me that he was
51:25
Speaker 1: making himself a target. I just figured Do Flamingo is busy,
51:30
Speaker 1: but I keep forgetting that he can be a petty
51:33
Speaker 1: bitch and that Honestly, I couldn't help but laugh, like apart.
51:40
Speaker 1: It was awful and it's very sudden, and I was
51:42
Speaker 1: just like, oh God. But honestly, the choice to go
51:48
Speaker 1: after him in the midst of all of this, I
51:51
Speaker 1: think it just it makes it clear that this guy
51:55
Speaker 1: is having an effect. You know, you could pretend that
51:57
Speaker 1: he's not doing much in the grand scheme of things,
52:01
Speaker 1: but obviously do Flamingo felt like he was, or he
52:04
Speaker 1: wouldn't have bothered. So if anything, it's sort of a compliment,
52:07
Speaker 1: if you want to see it that way. So we
52:13
Speaker 1: pull back and we hear all of these people, like
52:17
Speaker 1: you know, saying like, Lucy, are you up like trying
52:21
Speaker 1: they're trying to they had finished their countdown and Lufy
52:26
Speaker 1: has still not appeared again, and Do Flamingo is literally cackling,
52:33
Speaker 1: that's what the subtitle say, cackles. And this is when
52:39
Speaker 1: he says, all right, finally things have quieted down. We
52:43
Speaker 1: can get back to business. Now you can go quiet too,
52:48
Speaker 1: and is pulling Rebecca forward and she takes her big
52:53
Speaker 1: swing and then suddenly Lufy is there and he's got
52:57
Speaker 1: his armament up and is stopping the blade, and Do
53:01
Speaker 1: Flamingo is getting this look on his face the way
53:04
Speaker 1: that he does of just like ah shit, who's that?
53:08
Speaker 1: And we see off to the side, Violet on the
53:13
Speaker 1: rooftop with law Yeah, struggles to his feet through the
53:21
Speaker 1: gut wound, yelling our champion is here. And Rebecca we
53:28
Speaker 1: get like a close up of her snotty, crying face
53:32
Speaker 1: as she just screams Lucy. And at this point, guys,
53:35
Speaker 1: I'm already, you guys, know, like done with Rebecca. But
53:39
Speaker 1: I was watching this and my husband stepped inside because
53:42
Speaker 1: he had to grab his keys before he left for work,
53:45
Speaker 1: and he just saw her face and he just went
53:52
Speaker 1: and I went, yeah, I really hate her, and he says, yeah,
53:55
Speaker 1: she seems really annoying, and then he left, and I
54:04
Speaker 1: just couldn't stop laughing, you guys, because like his whole
54:07
Speaker 1: reaction to her, it just felt like, in an instant,
54:11
Speaker 1: we were on the exact same page, and he didn't
54:13
Speaker 1: even have to watch the whole arc and he just
54:14
Speaker 1: knew from that one moment. And then it ends with
54:22
Speaker 1: Lufy like slowly standing up and looking over his shoulder
54:26
Speaker 1: at Do Flamingo in a threatening manner, and that is
54:29
Speaker 1: the end of the episode. So yeah, look at this, guys.
54:32
Speaker 1: I talked about pretty much everything in those four episodes,
54:36
Speaker 1: and I'm under time, so I think that covering flour
54:40
Speaker 1: was totally fair. I really can't imagine how much longer
54:51
Speaker 1: they can drag this out, and I know they can.
54:57
Speaker 1: That's the thing is, like every time that I kind
54:58
Speaker 1: of said that in the past, they just do. Of course,
55:03
Speaker 1: I can't imagine because I'm worried about the storytelling being good,
55:07
Speaker 1: but they don't worry about that part. They just worry
55:10
Speaker 1: about the time. So when it comes to having to
55:14
Speaker 1: stretch things, I just don't have enough imagination because there's
55:17
Speaker 1: a line I don't want to cross and they don't
55:19
Speaker 1: have that issue. But I will say that overall, still
55:23
Speaker 1: really liking the Dress Rosa arc. It's just that I'm
55:25
Speaker 1: going to when I think of the Dress Rosa arc,
55:28
Speaker 1: I'm going to cut this part off of the end
55:31
Speaker 1: of it and like mentally shorten it. It'll be like
55:35
Speaker 1: this is not even quite part of the arc. It's
55:38
Speaker 1: just like a separate thing, even though it's absolutely part
55:42
Speaker 1: of the arc. Of course it is. Do Flamingo's the
55:44
Speaker 1: villain of the arc. This is the fight via versus
55:48
Speaker 1: between him and Lufy, our main guy. It absolutely is
55:53
Speaker 1: part of the arc. But like everything before, this was
55:55
Speaker 1: just so much more interesting. And imagine how how much
56:00
Speaker 1: cooler this all could have been if we just sliced
56:03
Speaker 1: out the fat and made it tighter. It could have
56:06
Speaker 1: been really something. And I feel like you want to
56:12
Speaker 1: reply to that with like, well, you could say that
56:14
Speaker 1: about all the arcs. No, you couldn't know, You couldn't
56:16
Speaker 1: there are some arcs that even if you took all
56:18
Speaker 1: of the like filler out, the arc is just not
56:21
Speaker 1: that good. It's just not you know, Like that's every
56:26
Speaker 1: time that I'm thinking about this lately, I think about
56:28
Speaker 1: that moment in a live action where we just get
56:31
Speaker 1: to see what's his face get like killed, and it's
56:35
Speaker 1: them acknowledging that that one arc of that one guy
56:38
Speaker 1: sucked so bad. We're not doing it. And here's us
56:41
Speaker 1: letting you know we're not doing it. And that's sort
56:47
Speaker 1: of something I feel like could be done to a
56:49
Speaker 1: lot of different arcs in this series. Don Kreig, thank you.
56:53
Speaker 1: Florian Saraphim says, yeah, Drisrosa is infamous for its pacing issues,
56:57
Speaker 1: easily the worst case of padding in the an. It's
57:01
Speaker 1: a I think that I'm being more forgiving of it overall,
57:05
Speaker 1: just because I like the rest of the arc so much,
57:07
Speaker 1: and because the characters they're using for the padding are
57:10
Speaker 1: mostly people that I have grown to like a little
57:14
Speaker 1: bit in their own way. But I'm starting to run
57:19
Speaker 1: out of grace, so it's time to get it together. Okay, show,
57:23
Speaker 1: let's do this. I'm rooting for you, I really am,
57:27
Speaker 1: So let's fucking do this, all right, guys. Well, like
57:32
Speaker 1: I said, I still enjoyed these four. I really did,
57:35
Speaker 1: but it is sort of damning that I was able
57:39
Speaker 1: to talk about all four and be under time. So
57:42
Speaker 1: I'm looking for it the next time. I hope that
57:44
Speaker 1: you guys are too, And just a reminder that Thursday
57:50
Speaker 1: or not Thursday next week. I had taken time off
57:54
Speaker 1: to go to this like big event that actually isn't
57:57
Speaker 1: happening now, so there's gonna be two solid weeks of
58:00
Speaker 1: no recordings fir spoil me. So if you're wondering what
58:04
Speaker 1: the hell's going on, it's just time off, and there
58:07
Speaker 1: was by the time the event was canceled, there was
58:09
Speaker 1: just not really a way to go back and fill
58:11
Speaker 1: those slots in. So I'm gonna have some extra time.
58:15
Speaker 1: I'm going to try and catch up on posting and
58:17
Speaker 1: stuff because I am behind on that, and those of
58:19
Speaker 1: you who have been wondering what's going on with the
58:22
Speaker 1: one piece feed. I have tried to do like a
58:26
Speaker 1: mass upload of episodes to it, and it has given
58:30
Speaker 1: me an error every time I've tried it, So I
58:33
Speaker 1: am going to try and work on that during the
58:35
Speaker 1: downtime as well. And I'll be keeping you all posted
58:38
Speaker 1: on that. All right, everybody, I will see you on Thursday.
58:42
Speaker 1: Until then, to the loom, motherfuckers that was an unspoiled
59:16
Speaker 1: network past
