Speaker 1: This is an unspoiled network podcast. This is Spoil Me,
0:08
Speaker 1: covering One Piece, episodes 920 and 921. A great sensation,
0:16
Speaker 1: Sanji's special soba, and luxurious and gorgeous, Wano's most beautiful woman,
0:24
Speaker 1: Komura Saki. Plus, the cover story sent to me by Florian.
0:32
Speaker 1: I really hope I said that at all correct. Oh boy.
0:42
Speaker 1: You guys, I'm pretty excited about this character that has
0:46
Speaker 1: been introduced. I am here for it. Welcome to Spoil Me.
1:12
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you
1:16
Speaker 1: very much to Seraphim for commissioning this episode. Now, technically
1:21
Speaker 1: Florian commissioned it, but Seraphim commissioned last week's episode, and
1:25
Speaker 1: I credited Florian with that one. So I'm giving the
1:29
Speaker 1: credit to Seraphim this week to make up for it.
1:32
Speaker 1: And Seraphim, my apologies for not seeing that until now. Okay,
1:39
Speaker 1: so we had a little bit of a technical problem.
1:42
Speaker 1: And so I had to start over, but I was
1:44
Speaker 1: only like 10 minutes in. So we're good. And I
1:49
Speaker 1: am going to, I'm gonna, I'm gonna take a different
1:53
Speaker 1: tag here. So, okay. Okay. Komurasaki is an MVP for
2:04
Speaker 1: me already at this point in this story. Now here's
2:07
Speaker 1: the thing. I love bitches. There are different types of
2:19
Speaker 1: fictional bitches, right? There are different types of real-world bitches,
2:22
Speaker 1: but we're not talking about real-world. We're talking about fictional
2:24
Speaker 1: bitches right now. Fictional bitches range from, oh my god,
2:29
Speaker 1: I'm rich and I'm classist, or oh, I'm just bigoted
2:32
Speaker 1: because I hate you guys, or I can never be
2:36
Speaker 1: pleased by anything and I'm You know, there's all kinds of,
2:42
Speaker 1: but one of my favorite types of bitch is a
2:47
Speaker 1: woman who leverages exactly what she has been told is
2:55
Speaker 1: expected of her in a way that nobody wanted or
2:59
Speaker 1: thought was allowed. When you, as a cis woman, Trans
3:07
Speaker 1: women are going to have a really different experience with this,
3:10
Speaker 1: I think, in certain ways. Because if your assigned gender
3:14
Speaker 1: at birth is male, and you begin to realize, depending
3:21
Speaker 1: on the way in which you're seen, you are likely
3:27
Speaker 1: to be socialized as male for the beginning of your life,
3:31
Speaker 1: which I think just changes the whole vibe. of your
3:35
Speaker 1: experience as a woman, when you're cis, it's like.
3:39
Speaker 2: The toxicity of the expectations of your gender, alleged gender.
3:50
Speaker 1: Are really difficult to describe. And there is definite toxicity
3:57
Speaker 1: in the expectations of men as well. But it's just
4:01
Speaker 1: a completely different sensation, right? It's different. And I don't
4:07
Speaker 1: have personal experience with that beyond understanding like patriarchy and
4:11
Speaker 1: what the expectations are of men. A woman, according to
4:18
Speaker 1: how I was raised, and this is not my parents,
4:22
Speaker 1: this is media. My mother was a very feminist woman,
4:25
Speaker 1: but she still really centered men. And I think it
4:30
Speaker 1: was an odd combination. She was somebody who was like
4:33
Speaker 1: extremely conservative. compelled by wanting male approval, but also very feminist.
4:40
Speaker 1: And so those things were difficult to process. And so
4:44
Speaker 1: she raised me as like being feminist and believing in
4:50
Speaker 1: myself and yada yada, but also instilled in me a
4:54
Speaker 1: real desire for male approval also, and a really misogynist
5:00
Speaker 1: at its base understanding of like what I was supposed
5:04
Speaker 1: to behave like and look like. And the thing with,
5:08
Speaker 1: with the expectations of women is that you are meant
5:12
Speaker 1: to be really attractive, but if you're too attractive, then
5:19
Speaker 1: it's a problem. So you have to be sexy, but
5:23
Speaker 1: you can't be like sexy and like overtly, or you're
5:26
Speaker 1: a slut, but you can't be rude and, And real,
5:31
Speaker 1: real modest because that's too far on the other extreme.
5:35
Speaker 1: So you have to like navigate these completely opposing things.
5:40
Speaker 1: And it changes all the time is the problem. It
5:44
Speaker 1: changes depending on who you surround yourself with. It changes
5:48
Speaker 1: depending on what year you're in. It changes depending on
5:52
Speaker 1: what job you have or if you have children or not.
5:55
Speaker 1: Like all of the expectations are all over the place.
6:00
Speaker 1: And when a woman decides that she is going, she's,
6:05
Speaker 1: you know, looks in the mirror and is like, okay,
6:08
Speaker 1: I have got it. I have got it. And she decides,
6:14
Speaker 1: I am going to use my beauty only to get
6:20
Speaker 1: myself the shit I want. We have a real problem
6:25
Speaker 1: with that as a society. Despite telling women that their
6:31
Speaker 1: appearance is like 85% at minimum of their overall worth
6:36
Speaker 1: as a human being. So when a beautiful woman is like, Oh,
6:41
Speaker 1: it is okay. Bet. I guess I'll cash in on this.
6:43
Speaker 1: And everybody's like, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. I really get like,
6:51
Speaker 1: I love seeing it so much. And it's part of
6:55
Speaker 1: like the, the injustice of, of getting older and beginning
6:59
Speaker 1: to understand and see the world the way it really is,
7:02
Speaker 1: but no longer having the power. There are some women
7:07
Speaker 1: who managed to retain it. But for myself, when I
7:10
Speaker 1: was in my 20s, I was stunning. I do not
7:15
Speaker 1: feel stunning at all. This is not fishing. This is just, okay,
7:19
Speaker 1: there was a way that I was reacted to, and
7:21
Speaker 1: that is not happening anymore. And I wish so much
7:24
Speaker 1: that I had done some shit like this, I don't
7:27
Speaker 1: think I really would have had the heart for it.
7:29
Speaker 1: Not to go this hard. But at least I wish
7:34
Speaker 1: that I had been a stripper for a while. You
7:37
Speaker 1: could clean up. You know what I'm saying? Like, I really,
7:41
Speaker 1: really regret that I didn't understand the power that I held.
7:46
Speaker 1: And all I used it for was to get male approval.
7:50
Speaker 1: And where the fuck has that gotten me in life? Like,
7:52
Speaker 1: what good has that been? It's worthless. Give me money.
7:57
Speaker 1: Give me money for it. So if I could go
8:00
Speaker 1: back in time, I would tell myself, you need to
8:05
Speaker 1: exploit this and otherwise just ignore men and your life
8:12
Speaker 1: will be so much better in so many different ways.
8:17
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'd listen to myself. That's the problem.
8:20
Speaker 1: When we're young, we're very stupid. And that's kind of
8:23
Speaker 1: part of the appeal of young women to men as well,
8:26
Speaker 1: is that they don't know. They don't know yet. Anyway,
8:30
Speaker 1: so Komurasaki, our introduction to her, and forgive me, I
8:40
Speaker 1: know I'm not really going in order of when things happen.
8:43
Speaker 1: You know what? I'll take one moment to just talk
8:46
Speaker 1: about Toko, Otoko. That is the little girl's name, right?
8:54
Speaker 1: And it's a joke because Otaka is like cross-dressing or something.
8:59
Speaker 1: Help me out here, guys, because I know that there
9:01
Speaker 1: was something about the joke of being a boy or
9:04
Speaker 1: girl in her explaining what her name was. But I
9:07
Speaker 1: was like, I feel like I'm just barely missing this
9:10
Speaker 1: and I almost have it. I just despise Toko. I'm
9:16
Speaker 1: going to say this. I'm sorry, everybody. Otama is my
9:22
Speaker 1: like favorite child from one piece that I can recall.
9:26
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's going to be another one that you
9:27
Speaker 1: guys bring up and I'll be like, Oh yeah. But like,
9:30
Speaker 1: she's just really, really adorable. Toko is like, she's really creepy.
9:39
Speaker 1: She's like a sleep paralysis demon. Like there's just, it's
9:45
Speaker 1: the fact that she's crying, but also smiling. And, how
9:50
Speaker 1: unnerving that combination is. the there's this like wide eyed
9:55
Speaker 1: thing with these like eyelashes that it almost looks like
10:01
Speaker 1: I imagine in life her looking like the Megan doll
10:06
Speaker 1: or something you know she's just got a whole look
10:12
Speaker 1: and energy that is Lena in the chat says unsettling
10:18
Speaker 1: and there it is Yes. Unsettling. I do not like her.
10:23
Speaker 1: And I did not like her. And it was really
10:25
Speaker 1: like puzzling me when everybody is just like, that kid's
10:31
Speaker 1: all right. And I was like, y'all, your judgment's way off.
10:37
Speaker 1: But Seraphim says, so her name is Toko. But if
10:41
Speaker 1: you put the O honorific in front, Otoko is Japanese
10:44
Speaker 1: for man slash male. Ah, okay. Okay. Um, okay. Why
10:52
Speaker 1: would you, if you know that the honorific that everybody's
10:54
Speaker 1: going to be using is an O, why would you
10:57
Speaker 1: name your child a thing that is going to like,
10:59
Speaker 1: come on, think it through parents, Jesus. Um, but anyway,
11:04
Speaker 1: so this, uh, this child is evidently like a worker.
11:13
Speaker 1: I don't know what, maybe apprentice is the right word
11:19
Speaker 1: for Komurasaki. Komurasaki is a Gesha, right? And like, because there's,
11:31
Speaker 1: there's mention of like a pleasure house and I'm not
11:33
Speaker 1: sure if it's a translation thing because I don't know
11:37
Speaker 1: if that is synonymous with the place that Geshas would
11:40
Speaker 1: work or if it's supposed to be that she's much like,
11:46
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of the Western idea of
11:49
Speaker 1: what a geisha is, is that they are sex workers.
11:52
Speaker 1: And I think that that could sometimes be true, but
11:55
Speaker 1: I do not think that those are synonymous by any means.
11:58
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to like, make sure that I get right,
12:02
Speaker 1: whatever is going on with her. And the way that
12:07
Speaker 1: I'm interpreting this is that low key, she's a sex worker,
12:11
Speaker 1: but because we're trying to do a slightly more kid
12:15
Speaker 1: friendly thing, storytelling version of this, we can't have that
12:19
Speaker 1: be explicitly said. So we're going to kind of pouch
12:24
Speaker 1: it in all of this other, you know, Lena says
12:29
Speaker 1: in the German translation, she's called a prostitute, I think. Okay.
12:34
Speaker 1: So this setup that she's got going on is Kimura
12:43
Speaker 1: Saki has these clients and that she convinces can rescue
12:49
Speaker 1: her from a marriage that she's being forced into by
12:56
Speaker 1: some terrible dude, right? And if they can save enough
13:03
Speaker 1: money and buy out the person that's purchasing her, they
13:12
Speaker 1: can have her and keep her from that man's evil clutches.
13:19
Speaker 1: And she also frames it as, and I'm really, I
13:22
Speaker 1: am in love with you. So then if you do this,
13:27
Speaker 1: I can be with my true love and we'll be
13:30
Speaker 1: together forever. And Seraphim says, Toko is kind of a
13:37
Speaker 1: personal assistant slash gopher. And Kimura Saki is a geisha,
13:41
Speaker 1: but I forget the actual term, but it's, for basically
13:43
Speaker 1: an extremely high end top of the top Gesha. She's,
13:48
Speaker 1: she's Gesha premium, Gesha platinum. So Bernadette's here. Hi Bernadette.
13:59
Speaker 1: So she sets these guys up and it's, it's, you know,
14:02
Speaker 1: this is something that still goes on today where it's
14:05
Speaker 1: a scam for, for lonely people, not just men. Women
14:10
Speaker 1: gets like tricked by this as well. send me money and,
14:15
Speaker 1: you know, because we've developed this relationship, I'll finally move
14:19
Speaker 1: to the US to be with you. I just need
14:21
Speaker 1: the money to get there. And they send all of
14:24
Speaker 1: this money to this person that they have never met
14:27
Speaker 1: and they never see them again or hear from them again.
14:31
Speaker 1: And it's a really pernicious thing now with AI where
14:33
Speaker 1: they can make very convincing video as well. And if
14:37
Speaker 1: you're not good at spotting AI, which a lot of
14:42
Speaker 1: folks aren't, and it depends on how good the rendering is,
14:47
Speaker 1: they will really feel like, Oh yeah, that's a real person.
14:49
Speaker 1: I've talked with them on video, you know? So these
14:55
Speaker 1: dudes go and literally sell everything they have and abandoned
15:07
Speaker 1: families sell their houses and And then they show up
15:12
Speaker 1: to this place with the money and expect her to
15:20
Speaker 1: fall weeping upon them with gratitude. And they get there
15:28
Speaker 1: and she is indisposed, but they leave the money expecting
15:33
Speaker 1: that like, now I press the button and now I
15:37
Speaker 1: get you, right? And it doesn't, happen and then they
15:42
Speaker 1: finally realize they've been had and now they're like destitute
15:49
Speaker 1: seraphim says and gesha they do serve as prostitutes but
15:52
Speaker 1: it's the it's closer to a courtesan where while sex
15:56
Speaker 1: can be involved simply their company is worth the price
15:58
Speaker 1: of hiring them for the esteem and how skilled they
16:00
Speaker 1: are at being engaging company courtesan is the word that
16:04
Speaker 1: i was trying thank you seraphim because i was like
16:07
Speaker 1: i know that we have a word for this um
16:10
Speaker 1: I would have kicked ass as a courtesan. But again,
16:14
Speaker 1: my tolerance would have not been high once I get
16:17
Speaker 1: to a certain age. But once you're at that age,
16:20
Speaker 1: you can retire because you've made enough money if you
16:23
Speaker 1: were good at it and nobody wants you anymore anyway.
16:26
Speaker 1: So perfect. Bye. Okay. So these dudes, I look. Do
16:37
Speaker 1: I think what she's doing is right? No. But she
16:51
Speaker 1: didn't make these men do anything. They just wanted that
16:58
Speaker 1: pussy so bad, they were willing to abandon their wives
17:04
Speaker 1: and children. And, bro... If you're willing to do that,
17:10
Speaker 1: I just can't feel bad for you. I feel bad
17:14
Speaker 1: for your wife and kids because you probably took everything
17:17
Speaker 1: from them. And so that sucks. But I can't, I just,
17:25
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. That is a you problem. And this
17:30
Speaker 1: is the thing, again, with like women weaponizing the things
17:34
Speaker 1: that they are told are important about themselves. If being
17:39
Speaker 1: beautiful is such an important thing that we achieve, why
17:42
Speaker 1: can't we do what we want with it? And it's
17:49
Speaker 1: not our fault that some men are so ruled by
17:55
Speaker 1: their cocks that they can't see the fucking red flags
18:02
Speaker 1: waving all around them. It's a you problem. That's it.
18:09
Speaker 1: That's all there is to it. Now, the fact that
18:13
Speaker 1: these guys are like, oh, I'm going to kill her
18:16
Speaker 1: and that'll fix everything is also, this is such a
18:20
Speaker 1: very dude response. You know, like, oh, I'll kill her
18:24
Speaker 1: and that'll fix everything. What? Bruh. What this will do
18:29
Speaker 1: is make you a murderer. That's what that will do.
18:32
Speaker 1: And then you'll get sent to prison. Which I guess
18:35
Speaker 1: if you've got nowhere to live and you aren't eating,
18:38
Speaker 1: then maybe that's a come up for you. But if
18:42
Speaker 1: you look at the labors that they're being forced to perform,
18:47
Speaker 1: then I would say that's a step down. Anyway, she says,
18:55
Speaker 1: what is it that she says? Men are nothing but
18:59
Speaker 1: dogs that fetch me riches. Which is a bar. I just,
19:08
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be like, what a, what an evil. No,
19:12
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm just, I just, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
19:17
Speaker 1: Be hot and do crimes. Go ahead. I'm just, I
19:21
Speaker 1: don't care. This is not the kind of thing. And
19:25
Speaker 1: you know what? I often talk on this show about
19:29
Speaker 1: how I listen slash watch the True Crime Show snapped
19:35
Speaker 1: Women Who Kill. And the reason that's like the only
19:39
Speaker 1: true crime that I consume is because I get very,
19:43
Speaker 1: very tired of the countless rape and assault stories and
19:49
Speaker 1: murder stories. of women and how the fucking investigation was
19:54
Speaker 1: either basically not done or bungled. I would much rather
19:58
Speaker 1: read about the more rare female murderer and the weirdness
20:05
Speaker 1: surrounding what happened there. And If anybody thinks that this
20:12
Speaker 1: is an exaggeration, this sort of a guy just giving
20:18
Speaker 1: up absolutely everything, I urge you to listen to any
20:24
Speaker 1: number of snapped episodes. These women, it varies. Sometimes they're
20:29
Speaker 1: having an affair with the guy already. Sometimes they're refusing
20:32
Speaker 1: to have an affair. And that's part of why the
20:35
Speaker 1: guy is willing to do it because he thinks, oh,
20:38
Speaker 1: then she'll finally be free and be with me. But, like,
20:42
Speaker 1: I would go so far as to say 75% of
20:45
Speaker 1: the murders on Snapped, the woman doesn't actually pull the trigger.
20:51
Speaker 1: She comes up with the idea. She jacks up her
20:55
Speaker 1: husband's life insurance policy. She sets the stage, but it
21:01
Speaker 1: is a significant other waiting in the wings to take
21:05
Speaker 1: her husband's place that is, like, either– staging a home
21:11
Speaker 1: invasion or setting things up to maybe look like an accident.
21:18
Speaker 1: It's wild to me. It's sort of a similar, it's,
21:23
Speaker 1: what's the word I want? When a person hooks up
21:28
Speaker 1: with somebody who is already married and that person leaves
21:33
Speaker 1: their spouse to be with them and then that same
21:38
Speaker 1: person ends up cheating on them too. Many, many folks
21:44
Speaker 1: are going to just be like, yeah, that's, they are
21:47
Speaker 1: a cheater. That's what they do. So why did you
21:51
Speaker 1: think you were going to be different? Now, as somebody
21:55
Speaker 1: raising my hand here who had cheated on my husband,
21:59
Speaker 1: my first husband, emotional cheating, there was nothing physical, but nevertheless,
22:05
Speaker 1: I would absolutely never cheat on Marshall. I just turned
22:09
Speaker 1: a corner and that is just not in me anymore.
22:13
Speaker 1: And I am just a totally different person now, but
22:17
Speaker 1: not everybody like grows and interrogates themselves and why they
22:23
Speaker 1: acted the way they acted. So I think in many
22:27
Speaker 1: cases being like, they're a cheater. That's what they do.
22:29
Speaker 1: That's why it happened to you too. That really rhymed.
22:34
Speaker 1: I can understand why they feel this way. And, the
22:37
Speaker 1: way that these dudes will step up to murder this
22:39
Speaker 1: woman's husband. And it never occurs to them that she
22:44
Speaker 1: might see them as disposable as she sees her husband.
22:50
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's clearly, they actually really do have feelings for
22:54
Speaker 1: each other. Sometimes it's that she was faking the whole
22:57
Speaker 1: thing just to get him to do something. Sometimes it's
23:00
Speaker 1: that she isn't real. And she created a catfish account
23:04
Speaker 1: to get a guy to do something. But, she isn't
23:08
Speaker 1: who she said, yada, yada. So what I'm saying is
23:14
Speaker 1: when it comes to emotion, when it comes to sex,
23:21
Speaker 1: men like to frame themselves a lot as the logical gender,
23:25
Speaker 1: but when it comes to this stuff, they are just
23:28
Speaker 1: as driven by the most illogical motivations as women ever are. And,
23:37
Speaker 1: they will ruin their own lives for the sake of
23:43
Speaker 1: just some lady. That's it. You know, this is so real.
23:49
Speaker 1: It's so real. And what I am so, what irritates
23:58
Speaker 1: me about snapped a lot is that the woman being
24:04
Speaker 1: the like, quote brains of the operation is, despite the
24:07
Speaker 1: fact that she didn't pull the trigger and that they
24:11
Speaker 1: really only have circumstantial evidence against her. A lot of
24:13
Speaker 1: the time she'll serve a longer sentence than the man
24:17
Speaker 1: who actually committed the murder, because we have a special
24:22
Speaker 1: hatred in our hearts for women who manipulate, despite the
24:29
Speaker 1: fact that it's by no means are women, the only
24:34
Speaker 1: manipulators it's, We just tend to sentence them more harshly
24:40
Speaker 1: and we are more willing to declare them guilty than
24:46
Speaker 1: a man with the same circumstantial evidence. And this has
24:50
Speaker 1: been proven like time and time again. So, yeah, I'm
24:55
Speaker 1: not saying that these ladies did nothing wrong. I am
24:58
Speaker 1: simply saying if we are actually going to be rational
25:01
Speaker 1: and look at the evidence, you don't really have a lot.
25:04
Speaker 1: And this guy should be doing a lot more hard
25:05
Speaker 1: time than she is. And somehow that's not what happens
25:08
Speaker 1: because we just don't like women period as a society,
25:15
Speaker 1: but we especially don't like when they use their wiles
25:20
Speaker 1: to like profit themselves, whether it be simply the wiles, fraud, scams, murder, whatever. Um,
25:31
Speaker 1: Sarah Fim says, preach. If she's just going after assholes
25:34
Speaker 1: who are stupid enough to bankrupt themselves just for the
25:36
Speaker 1: possibility of touching boobs, go right ahead and teach them
25:40
Speaker 1: a lesson. We only have enough blood for one head
25:45
Speaker 1: to think at a time. You know, it's a, it's
25:49
Speaker 1: a real weird, it's a real weird thing to me
25:54
Speaker 1: that men have ever been able to claim being the
25:57
Speaker 1: more logical gender. It's just weird. there's no evidence whatsoever.
26:03
Speaker 1: It's just not there. The very claim is in and
26:07
Speaker 1: of itself illogical. So I just, yeah, wild behavior. So anyway,
26:16
Speaker 1: this is her episode, pair of episodes, Kimura Saki. She
26:24
Speaker 1: is being dropped into the mix here in a way
26:28
Speaker 1: that is so interesting because we're hearing her name. We're
26:33
Speaker 1: hearing that there's going to be like this procession. We
26:37
Speaker 1: see only her lips a lot of the time until
26:42
Speaker 1: there's like flashbacks. And even in the flashbacks, her face
26:46
Speaker 1: is often like shadowed or her hands are over her face.
26:51
Speaker 1: And it's a really strange kind of like we have
26:56
Speaker 1: to keep secret what, like what she looks like. And honestly,
27:03
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be mad if this just kept going like that.
27:06
Speaker 1: And we never really saw her face so that it
27:09
Speaker 1: was like, I'm not going to show you a face
27:14
Speaker 1: that you can be subjective about whether or not you think,
27:17
Speaker 1: although we all know that she's going to have the
27:19
Speaker 1: exact same face as Robin and Nami and every woman,
27:23
Speaker 1: but yeah, I like the idea of let's keep her
27:28
Speaker 1: shadowed a bit so that you can imagine a face
27:32
Speaker 1: that suits, you know? And the, the fact that Toko
27:41
Speaker 1: is like helping her out is a really odd dynamic.
27:49
Speaker 1: And she's like quite kind to Toko. Toko comes running
27:54
Speaker 1: up and I forgot what it is that she's like
27:56
Speaker 1: bringing with her because she's carrying something. But she says,
27:59
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry that I'm late. And the, sorry, I
28:07
Speaker 1: keep forgetting her name, Komurasaki. Komurasaki says something like, I
28:13
Speaker 1: was beginning to worry about you. Let's get to work.
28:17
Speaker 1: And is really like, it seems concerned for Toko's wellbeing
28:24
Speaker 1: and is not yelling at her or demanding or anything.
28:31
Speaker 1: And everybody on the street is purely here to see
28:36
Speaker 1: her beautiful face. And that's like it. She's so gorgeous
28:42
Speaker 1: and so glamorous that it's like kind of fascinating to
28:50
Speaker 1: when you think about the fact that like the way
28:54
Speaker 1: that we behave a lot towards women who utilize their
28:58
Speaker 1: looks to get things, she faces remarkably little hate on
29:03
Speaker 1: the street, except from the men that she swindled. And
29:07
Speaker 1: it really does appear that everybody who sees her is
29:11
Speaker 1: like under her spell somehow, despite the fact that like,
29:16
Speaker 1: there would probably be some detractors in the mix, you know?
29:21
Speaker 1: So that is sort of compelling to me. The fact
29:25
Speaker 1: that like nobody appears to be jealous. There's no haters
29:32
Speaker 1: for the sake of hating, which if you just go
29:35
Speaker 1: on any hot woman's Instagram comments, like you would know
29:38
Speaker 1: that's a thing, but, fucking everywhere so i'm wondering if
29:44
Speaker 1: we are going to eventually see that because for now
29:46
Speaker 1: it's just a straight up fan club once again aside
29:50
Speaker 1: from the men that she swindled and uh i am
29:55
Speaker 1: so curious like how much money in total she has
29:58
Speaker 1: stolen I don't think we'll ever get any number because
30:02
Speaker 1: that's not something that really gets bandied about like numbers.
30:06
Speaker 1: The only time we really hear are when it's for
30:10
Speaker 1: the plot that we have like a certain bounty on
30:13
Speaker 1: one of the straw hats heads, or we need X
30:15
Speaker 1: amount to fix the ship or whatever. But the flashback
30:22
Speaker 1: that we see with that one old man who's missing
30:24
Speaker 1: a bunch of teeth is like, he shows up after
30:28
Speaker 1: dropping off all the money he has. And she says,
30:30
Speaker 1: I spent it already. And this guy is obviously not
30:33
Speaker 1: wealthy in the first place. So if he gave her
30:36
Speaker 1: everything he has, that is not to say it was
30:39
Speaker 1: a lot of money. It was all his money, but
30:42
Speaker 1: relatively speaking, that may not be a lot of money.
30:45
Speaker 1: And it is really, really difficult to like fully wrap
30:53
Speaker 1: your head around the difference being in, in being somebody
30:57
Speaker 1: who is wealthy versus not because like the proportion, like
31:04
Speaker 1: for example, and this is an old reference I'm making.
31:08
Speaker 1: So this is probably an even more extreme number at
31:12
Speaker 1: this point, but in the show gossip girl, the whole
31:18
Speaker 1: show is centered around this private high school in New
31:22
Speaker 1: York city and And there are kids who are there
31:26
Speaker 1: on scholarship whose families don't have any money. And then
31:29
Speaker 1: there are kids whose parents pay their tuition and they
31:32
Speaker 1: have more money than I could even guess at. And
31:37
Speaker 1: one of the poor kids is being bribed to do something.
31:43
Speaker 1: And she kind of is resisting the bribe. And the
31:46
Speaker 1: guy says, listen, I'm offering you $ 24, 000. And you know,
31:54
Speaker 1: to her, that's like a couple pairs of shoes and
32:00
Speaker 1: a Chanel bag. But to you, that's life-changing money. Take
32:06
Speaker 1: the money. And that quote stuck with me so much.
32:12
Speaker 1: The thought that like, yeah, that is life-changing money. And
32:16
Speaker 1: these people still won't part with it for taxes just
32:20
Speaker 1: to help people who are like, broken sick or need help,
32:25
Speaker 1: you know, like it's nothing to you. It's nothing to you.
32:30
Speaker 1: And that would change my life utterly. I can't even
32:35
Speaker 1: tell you. So all this to say, when you've, when
32:41
Speaker 1: you are somebody who doesn't have a lot of money,
32:44
Speaker 1: it's like, I just gave you $ 24, 000. That's everything I had.
32:50
Speaker 1: That's such a lot of money. And evidently this bitch
32:54
Speaker 1: has got men on the run all the time. So
32:58
Speaker 1: that's a couple pairs of shoes and a Chanel bag
33:00
Speaker 1: to her. And she's, it's gone. And he shows up
33:04
Speaker 1: wanting it back. And she's just like, girl, I went shopping.
33:08
Speaker 1: What are you here for? I'm not, you can't have
33:11
Speaker 1: my shoes. I'll tell you that much. Scoot. Get out
33:17
Speaker 1: of here. Scram. Bernadette says, I think if you have
33:22
Speaker 1: Kaido to hate, why would you have some left for
33:24
Speaker 1: a pretty girl? The people are probably glad about a
33:27
Speaker 1: bit of celebrity distraction. You know, Bernadette, I want to
33:32
Speaker 1: agree with you. But once again, we have a Trump
33:35
Speaker 1: in the world. And yet you still be seeing people
33:37
Speaker 1: in these Instagram comments. Like people always have time to
33:42
Speaker 1: be haters. They always have time, especially to hate on women.
33:47
Speaker 1: It's just a fucking, they always are ready to make time.
33:51
Speaker 1: It's crazy. That's another type of scam that's happening, to
33:56
Speaker 1: be honest, is now that we have social media and
33:59
Speaker 1: people can get paid for engagement, you could just bait
34:04
Speaker 1: angry dudes and have them just leaving tons of comments.
34:10
Speaker 1: And every single one of those comments is like another
34:13
Speaker 1: dollar in their pocket. And these dudes really think they're like,
34:17
Speaker 1: taking down a page. You are making her rich. You
34:21
Speaker 1: don't even get it. You aren't even playing the same game, dude.
34:26
Speaker 1: You know? Seraphim says, I don't think most of Wano's
34:31
Speaker 1: citizens even know about Kaido. Orochi is the only, is
34:35
Speaker 1: the one visibly in charge. But yeah, Wano does not
34:38
Speaker 1: seem to have a lot of either bread or circuses
34:41
Speaker 1: to distract them. That's an interesting, hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Because
34:48
Speaker 1: we have Robin, who is also a gash. She's booked
34:53
Speaker 1: by wealthy clients. This is not like a troupe that
34:56
Speaker 1: performs on the street or anything like that. Yeah, that's
35:02
Speaker 1: a flaw in the plan here. Somebody should be doing
35:05
Speaker 1: a little bit of circus stuff. Evidently, in this community,
35:10
Speaker 1: we're pretty much set. But in a few others, probably
35:13
Speaker 1: we could up the participation there a little bit. Um, anyway, okay.
35:20
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, guys. I know I've spent so much time
35:21
Speaker 1: talking about her, but I just find her a really,
35:24
Speaker 1: really compelling character. And I am super excited to see
35:30
Speaker 1: what more we get from her. And I'm also curious,
35:33
Speaker 1: like how long she's going to be in the mix.
35:36
Speaker 1: And I hope that I'm not supposed to like be
35:39
Speaker 1: happy for her takedown eventually, because I won't, I can't,
35:43
Speaker 1: I can't, Perhaps there will be additional things I learn
35:46
Speaker 1: about her that will change my mind on that. And
35:48
Speaker 1: eventually I'll get there and be like, okay, you know what? No,
35:51
Speaker 1: this bitch has got to be taken out. But from
35:54
Speaker 1: where I'm at right now, I can't be excited about that.
35:59
Speaker 1: I just want her to continue to succeed. And, and,
36:04
Speaker 1: you know, it's bleed them dry, bleed them dry. So,
36:14
Speaker 1: I'm going to get back into like the plot of
36:16
Speaker 1: things because episode 920, we've got, I am honestly surprised
36:22
Speaker 1: at how long this is allowed to go on. But
36:26
Speaker 1: Sanji is still making these noodles for this crowd of
36:30
Speaker 1: women and is being reminded by many people that, you know,
36:36
Speaker 1: we're supposed to be getting samurai that we can recruit.
36:43
Speaker 1: And you should probably be making something different. The way
36:48
Speaker 1: that it's set up is really strange, though. And this
36:51
Speaker 1: is probably the kind of thing that, like, culturally is understood.
36:55
Speaker 1: But I don't know this. So, you know, in the
36:59
Speaker 1: United States, there is just the assumption that men drink
37:04
Speaker 1: beer and whiskey and women drink Cosmos and Appletinis. women
37:10
Speaker 1: like sweet fruity drinks and men like to drink green
37:15
Speaker 1: alcohol because it hurts and we like it so here
37:21
Speaker 1: we've got women love noodles and men don't i what
37:26
Speaker 1: frankie says is like you should make it spicier so
37:31
Speaker 1: that samurai can like wash it down with sake or
37:35
Speaker 1: something which um The idea of using alcohol to cool
37:43
Speaker 1: your mouth because of spicy food is unthinkable to me personally.
37:49
Speaker 1: That would have to make it worse, I would think.
37:52
Speaker 1: But when he says this, Sanji does not contradict him.
38:00
Speaker 1: And the show does have it that it's only women
38:03
Speaker 1: that are being drawn to his booth where he's making
38:06
Speaker 1: these noodles. there's no men eating other than the straw
38:10
Speaker 1: hats that are men. Like, otherwise it is all and
38:15
Speaker 1: only women. And I don't really understand how this is
38:18
Speaker 1: like what the, the masculinity requirement for food is here.
38:28
Speaker 1: Is it supposed to be just straight up meat and
38:31
Speaker 1: only women like carbohydrates or something? Or I don't know.
38:34
Speaker 1: But anyway, I, we have some dudes that show up
38:40
Speaker 1: here and it is, it is a group that is
38:47
Speaker 1: doing that. Like it would, what nice business you got here.
38:51
Speaker 1: It would be a shame if something happened to it.
38:53
Speaker 1: Maybe if you give us a percentage of your profits,
38:58
Speaker 1: it won't happen. You'll, you'll pay us to protect you
39:02
Speaker 1: from ourselves because, Seraphim says, I think that's more of
39:06
Speaker 1: Frankie thing of him just liking spicy stuff. The women
39:08
Speaker 1: thing I took as more Sanji being Sanji and attracting
39:11
Speaker 1: them through the attention he gives them. Huh? I mean,
39:16
Speaker 1: I could see that Seraphim, if only we don't see
39:19
Speaker 1: how long that line is, because it really seems like
39:22
Speaker 1: there's a hundred women and they can't all be even
39:26
Speaker 1: aware of the attention that he gives them. But on
39:29
Speaker 1: the other hand, it's one piece, so what do I know?
39:35
Speaker 1: Either way, these dudes show up, and you know, we
39:39
Speaker 1: have the other funny thing that they're twice as tall
39:45
Speaker 1: as anybody else, and They demand money and Sanji is
39:51
Speaker 1: just like, for what? And they're like, you know, to
39:54
Speaker 1: keep you safe. And he's like, oh, well, I don't
39:57
Speaker 1: need any help with that. I can do that myself.
40:02
Speaker 1: And we have, as this conversation is happening, the first
40:11
Speaker 1: person in line is Toko. who turns and looks up
40:16
Speaker 1: at these guys with that same weird fixed expression that
40:20
Speaker 1: she always has. It is just so fucking unnerving. I
40:26
Speaker 1: don't like her. Even when she's being bullied, I can't
40:32
Speaker 1: help but still be kind of like, yeah, I don't know.
40:36
Speaker 1: Bully her, I guess. So these dudes decide that they're
40:41
Speaker 1: going to mess with her and her food and don't
40:48
Speaker 1: understand who Sanji is or the reaction that he is
40:53
Speaker 1: going to have. This is something that actually came up
40:57
Speaker 1: when I was recording Dresden Files with Rashawn yesterday, where
41:02
Speaker 1: somebody decides to come up against Harry Dresden. And Rashawn
41:06
Speaker 1: is like, so here's the thing that I'm confused by.
41:09
Speaker 1: They have to know who he is. they really think
41:15
Speaker 1: they're going to win this. And here, they obviously don't
41:19
Speaker 1: know who Sanji is, but it does sort of feel
41:21
Speaker 1: like y'all really need to pay more attention. And I
41:27
Speaker 1: think it's just Wano is so isolated. They don't really
41:30
Speaker 1: get the news. I think that they truly are completely
41:33
Speaker 1: in the dark about the Straw Hats and about Luffy. Like,
41:37
Speaker 1: if this were a different circumstance, there have been times
41:40
Speaker 1: where I'm just like, how does nobody know that just
41:43
Speaker 1: because Luffy looks like a goofball, there's a fucking reason
41:46
Speaker 1: why his bounty is so high. And here it does
41:50
Speaker 1: seem like there is a reasonable excuse. So they knock
41:56
Speaker 1: the bowl out of her hands and we have that
41:59
Speaker 1: weird where she's still like smiling, but she's also crying.
42:04
Speaker 1: There's like tears in her eyes and, But she's still
42:08
Speaker 1: got like a big smile on her face. And the
42:11
Speaker 1: way that she's crying sounds like laughter. So I just don't,
42:20
Speaker 1: I don't even know. What on earth is going on
42:22
Speaker 1: with this girl? So the terrorists, I don't know what
42:29
Speaker 1: to call this gang. But they make their point by
42:34
Speaker 1: bullying this girl. they tell all of the women who
42:38
Speaker 1: are like in line or who are already eating to
42:42
Speaker 1: get lost. And the stall is closed. And then we
42:47
Speaker 1: have Sanji just standing there, having watched them knock this
42:52
Speaker 1: food down onto the ground and waste it. And also
42:56
Speaker 1: had them hurt a little girl, not physically necessarily, but
43:01
Speaker 1: you know, and also, and I have to assume that
43:05
Speaker 1: this is, even more egregious to him in some ways,
43:09
Speaker 1: drive away all of the women who were around. So
43:15
Speaker 1: he walks up to this dude and is like, I
43:18
Speaker 1: need you to finish all your food. And Guy is like,
43:22
Speaker 1: are you really picking a fight right now? Which, when
43:25
Speaker 1: they are standing beside Sanji, he looks like he's only
43:31
Speaker 1: two-thirds the size of them. They are significantly bigger. But
43:35
Speaker 1: they don't seem to understand that size isn't everything. So
43:39
Speaker 1: they attempt to jump him three to one and they
43:42
Speaker 1: just get trounced so instantly. It's like really embarrassing. Actually,
43:47
Speaker 1: I have to admit too. I love that on the sidelines,
43:51
Speaker 1: we've got like Usopp telling Sanji, Hey buddy, calm down.
43:58
Speaker 1: But then when the, when it's clear that we're about
44:00
Speaker 1: to have a fight, Frankie is like, Yeah, let's do this.
44:07
Speaker 1: Frankie is clearly itching for a fight. And I have
44:12
Speaker 1: to imagine being undercover in a place where there is
44:15
Speaker 1: so much corruption and so many of these assholes taking
44:20
Speaker 1: advantage of innocent people that not being able to lean
44:24
Speaker 1: into your actual nature and defend them is probably really
44:28
Speaker 1: frustrating and builds up over time so that you're ready
44:33
Speaker 1: to blow your top. So, yeah, Sanji gets noticed here
44:41
Speaker 1: because everybody is like, he's just a cook. Why is
44:44
Speaker 1: he strong enough to just do this? Meanwhile, Frankie is
44:51
Speaker 1: soaring up into the air with the guy with green
44:54
Speaker 1: hair and body slamming him into the ground. And I
45:00
Speaker 1: want to say how much I have missed Frankie. And
45:03
Speaker 1: this moment with all of them just made me go, yeah,
45:07
Speaker 1: I'm really glad you're back. I want you to have
45:09
Speaker 1: more screen time. We're not seeing enough of you, to
45:12
Speaker 1: be honest, you know. So these dudes all work for
45:20
Speaker 1: the guy that Robin was performing for that we saw
45:25
Speaker 1: probably like a dozen episodes ago at this point. He
45:28
Speaker 1: was telling the story about what happened to caused the
45:32
Speaker 1: like superstition about the ghosts on that hilltop where the
45:37
Speaker 1: gravestones are. And I can't remember his name, but they
45:42
Speaker 1: essentially go running back to him. And he tells them,
45:48
Speaker 1: you have got to like go out there and kill
45:51
Speaker 1: one of them. And his underling says, that's going to
45:56
Speaker 1: cause an uproar though. And he just says, so, What's
46:02
Speaker 1: your point? So this is a dude who I was
46:08
Speaker 1: thinking that he was just like a trust fund kid,
46:13
Speaker 1: but evidently he's the head of a bit of organized crime,
46:19
Speaker 1: like an arm of it. He doesn't seem like he's
46:22
Speaker 1: really in charge, like in a serious way. It's just
46:28
Speaker 1: he's on a petty level, a petty thug, I guess
46:31
Speaker 1: is what you would call him. Sorry, Seraphim says, with Sanji,
46:37
Speaker 1: the rage order would be hitting a woman, then wasting food,
46:41
Speaker 1: then cock blocking. He's a horned dog, but he does
46:45
Speaker 1: have his principles. Napping Kyoshiro. He's pretty much the mob
46:54
Speaker 1: boss of the city. His name is Napping? Is that...
47:00
Speaker 1: It's in... quotation marks. So I'm not sure if that's like,
47:05
Speaker 1: is that his, what Kyoshiro means in English? I don't,
47:11
Speaker 1: if I, I don't know that I can like call
47:14
Speaker 1: a person napping as their name. That just, Seraphim says
47:22
Speaker 1: it's his nickname because he's always falling asleep. I feel
47:29
Speaker 1: like He seems to have narcolepsy. That's what Seraphim says.
47:32
Speaker 1: All right. Napping. I feel like I just want to
47:36
Speaker 1: call him Sleepy then, like one of the seven dwarves.
47:41
Speaker 1: Napping just isn't– I feel like it's going to be confusing,
47:45
Speaker 1: but probably saying Sleepy is also confusing. But Sleepy is
47:49
Speaker 1: just more understood as a name because of the seven dwarves. So, yeah. Okay.
47:56
Speaker 1: We're going to go with Sleepy. But long story short,
48:03
Speaker 1: this guy does not appreciate these folks like stepping up
48:09
Speaker 1: and ruining his moment of intimidation that he had set up.
48:16
Speaker 1: And they are, he is going to punish everybody. It
48:22
Speaker 1: feels like in response to this, um, at this point
48:26
Speaker 1: Sanji has made a new bowl of soup and noodles
48:31
Speaker 1: for Toko and she eats it. And then it's suddenly like, Hey,
48:39
Speaker 1: I just realized I'm super late for work. The oil
48:42
Speaker 1: run is going to be in a procession. And that
48:46
Speaker 1: word is used a number of times. So I guess Seraphim,
48:50
Speaker 1: that's the word that you were saying is for like
48:53
Speaker 1: Gesha platinum. Uh, And I think it's Sanji who uses
48:59
Speaker 1: another title. I'm sorry. There's just a moment. Oh, yeah.
49:03
Speaker 1: He says, Oiran, Toko, are you a Komuro by any chance?
49:09
Speaker 1: What is that? Komuro. Maybe that's like the official title
49:15
Speaker 1: for somebody who works for an Oiran. Like, yeah. an understudy.
49:21
Speaker 1: Understudy isn't the right word. I said apprentice before, but
49:24
Speaker 1: that's also not quite the word I want. Protégé. Protégé
49:30
Speaker 1: is the word I was looking for, but I'm not
49:32
Speaker 1: sure that's correct either. really curious because like Frankie does not,
49:46
Speaker 1: he doesn't know what these words mean. He says, but
49:52
Speaker 1: what are those? And this lady just swoops in with
49:56
Speaker 1: her stringed instrument. There's a very rude comment from Usopp
50:02
Speaker 1: about how it's a wrinkled paper lantern that's come to life.
50:08
Speaker 1: And then she's like, How do you guys not know
50:11
Speaker 1: about our Oiran? She's a superstar. There's only one in
50:16
Speaker 1: all of Wano. This legend's name is Komurosaki, a role
50:21
Speaker 1: model for women longed for by men, a beauty that
50:25
Speaker 1: could upturn the whole country. And she's a woman envied
50:32
Speaker 1: by heaven itself, both pure and noble. That's Komurosaki. Frankie
50:40
Speaker 1: claims a woman like that does not exist. And she's
50:42
Speaker 1: just like, Oh, you'll see. You'll see. You'll all see.
50:48
Speaker 1: And we don't actually like, I'm worried about the money
50:54
Speaker 1: of the straw hats because Sanji in this mix, that's
50:59
Speaker 1: going to Sanji. If there is ever a man that
51:04
Speaker 1: would give up absolutely everything for a woman, I mean,
51:09
Speaker 1: you don't, I don't like the use of the word
51:16
Speaker 1: simp normally. But every now and then there is just
51:23
Speaker 1: somebody who really is. And he is a simp. Absolutely.
51:29
Speaker 1: I mean, no question. So she's going to be making
51:33
Speaker 1: an appearance at the Shogun's Banquet. she's a child attendant
51:39
Speaker 1: who goes with the Oiran. And straight from Flower Capital,
51:46
Speaker 1: no less, I have news for you to Orobi. I
51:51
Speaker 1: think that's Robin's name. You've been summoned to the castle
51:55
Speaker 1: for the banquet today. Wasn't that your dream to meet
51:58
Speaker 1: Shogun Orochi in person? So it's happening, which is pretty exciting. Okay.
52:05
Speaker 1: I'm really worried that maybe she's been made and that
52:08
Speaker 1: this is a trap, but it doesn't seem like she
52:11
Speaker 1: has been. It really doesn't appear that anybody knows who
52:16
Speaker 1: our guys are at all yet. I'm surprised that like
52:20
Speaker 1: Luffy's presence hasn't caused them to wonder about the rest
52:25
Speaker 1: of the straw hats. But again, I don't know how
52:27
Speaker 1: much info anybody in Wano has. So I don't know if,
52:33
Speaker 1: his situation is, and the fact that he has an
52:38
Speaker 1: entire crew is even something that they, he's just been
52:43
Speaker 1: out in the mix for such a long time. I
52:44
Speaker 1: would have thought some of the news would come back
52:46
Speaker 1: to them, but, oh, Seraphim and Lena are pointing out
52:51
Speaker 1: that Nami is the one in charge of the money.
52:53
Speaker 1: So he won't get a chance Sanji to like blow
52:57
Speaker 1: it all, which is good. So then we go to
53:01
Speaker 1: the prison briefly, and this is so weird. So Usopp is, Usopp,
53:07
Speaker 1: my God, Luffy is being really unfriendly. These dudes are
53:13
Speaker 1: like talking to him about how strong he is. And,
53:20
Speaker 1: you know, you really like stood up to them. And
53:24
Speaker 1: that was the first time that we've had fun in
53:26
Speaker 1: here in ages. And Luffy just tells them to leave
53:31
Speaker 1: him alone. And then he pulls out, when this old
53:37
Speaker 1: man comes up to him, a handful of these tickets
53:42
Speaker 1: to get some of those millet dumplings. So this makes
53:46
Speaker 1: up for the previous, because you guys know that I
53:49
Speaker 1: was sort of like, hey, buddy, how about you share
53:51
Speaker 1: some of that? He does. It just, he has to
53:55
Speaker 1: get full before he's willing to do that, which I
53:59
Speaker 1: do have to respect. I can see that. It's a,
54:02
Speaker 1: you know, put your own oxygen mask on first sort
54:05
Speaker 1: of situation. So he's super friendly to this dude and
54:09
Speaker 1: he hands over all of these tickets and is smiling.
54:15
Speaker 1: But when it's just those guys talking to him, he
54:19
Speaker 1: acts hostile as if they're bothering him or like bad guys.
54:28
Speaker 1: I don't know. Um, Anyway, so he's out here when
54:32
Speaker 1: Rizo shows up and explains, I've found the key to
54:37
Speaker 1: your handcuffs, but it is under tight security. It's guarded,
54:43
Speaker 1: first of all, and it's in a sea prism stone box,
54:47
Speaker 1: which I can't open. So, you know, it's difficult. Uh,
54:54
Speaker 1: I vow to steal it all the same. Just give
54:57
Speaker 1: me time. And Luffy says, okay, no problem. He disappears.
55:05
Speaker 2: And I.
55:09
Speaker 1: Got to say, guys, we find out a little bit
55:14
Speaker 1: later that wet-haired caribou is here. And when I tell
55:20
Speaker 1: you all, I never wanted to see this motherfucker's face again.
55:25
Speaker 1: I am so bummed out. I don't know. No, do
55:31
Speaker 1: you hear me? I don't want this. Nobody wanted this.
55:35
Speaker 1: I just come on. So I mentioned the cover story
55:42
Speaker 1: that Florian sent me on discord, which is called caribou's
55:51
Speaker 1: in the new world. And it really is pretty much
55:57
Speaker 1: just the story of how Jinbei completely ruins Caribou's life,
56:06
Speaker 1: which I don't have a lot of time for Jinbei,
56:12
Speaker 1: but I will say the fact that he is the
56:15
Speaker 1: one that puts Caribou away earns him a great deal
56:20
Speaker 1: of credit from me. Because this guy just really fucking sucks.
56:26
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find, he's like, in that barrel, there's
56:32
Speaker 1: a whole thing. He winds up like washing up somewhere.
56:36
Speaker 1: And these guys who find him know that he is
56:40
Speaker 1: wanted and that there's a reward for him. And then
56:45
Speaker 1: we have this woman show up. yuki ana of the
56:54
Speaker 1: biscuit room she is interesting um a very very large
57:04
Speaker 1: woman in every sense she's fat she's tall she has
57:09
Speaker 1: green hair i think it's a she i feel like
57:14
Speaker 1: there's a uh The way that she's drawn is so
57:20
Speaker 1: extreme because she's in the middle of a movement that
57:24
Speaker 1: it's not even quite clear to me. I think it is,
57:30
Speaker 1: but I don't know. So let's see. Let's see. It's
57:39
Speaker 1: a volume 11. I'm trying to find the moment where Oh, right.
57:43
Speaker 1: This is the part where I was like, because Caribou escapes.
57:46
Speaker 1: He's about to be burned at the stake. And I'm
57:49
Speaker 1: not entirely sure why burning him at the stake was
57:54
Speaker 1: going to be the play here. Is it supposed to
58:00
Speaker 1: be that he's caught by the Marines? Because I didn't
58:06
Speaker 1: know burning at the stake was an execution method that
58:08
Speaker 1: they would utilize. So You know, and her jumping in,
58:18
Speaker 1: it's like she's trying to rescue him, but he escapes
58:24
Speaker 1: and she is left there. So is she like one
58:28
Speaker 1: of his Confederates that he just abandons? Is that what
58:31
Speaker 1: I meant to understand? I just, this was some of
58:36
Speaker 1: these cover stories. even if they're really weird, I can
58:42
Speaker 1: mostly follow it. And I can understand that it's just
58:44
Speaker 1: a weird story, but this was the first one that
58:47
Speaker 1: I really didn't get what was going on in a
58:49
Speaker 1: few of the panels. And I was feeling sort of mystified.
58:53
Speaker 1: Cause like, so the ship takes, takes off caribou escapes,
58:59
Speaker 1: but then we see like the ship torn up in
59:01
Speaker 1: a storm and him on a boat and escaping. He
59:06
Speaker 1: is washed up, almost starved to death. on an island
59:11
Speaker 1: that is covered with snow and is nursed back to
59:17
Speaker 1: health by an old hag whom once he is well,
59:26
Speaker 1: he decides that he is going to steal from. It's
59:33
Speaker 1: she's sitting by his bed and yet he is behind
59:39
Speaker 1: her taking her jewels and her food. Now I'll be
59:44
Speaker 1: honest kids. I don't remember what his power is. It's
59:49
Speaker 1: like he can like ooze into things and turn himself
59:53
Speaker 1: into a liquid. Right. So is it supposed to be
59:57
Speaker 1: that he oozes out of the bed sheets, but she
1:00:02
Speaker 1: doesn't notice? I don't, I don't get because like what
1:00:11
Speaker 1: it looks like to me is that there's a halo
1:00:14
Speaker 1: around them indicating that there's like magic happening or something
1:00:17
Speaker 1: and he's stealing and there's a sort of energy to
1:00:22
Speaker 1: it of like, I'm being really sneaky and, But then
1:00:25
Speaker 1: in the next frame, he's being directed by this old
1:00:30
Speaker 1: lady and he's got like a little box that says
1:00:33
Speaker 1: meat pies on it. And so I thought it was
1:00:37
Speaker 1: going to be thanks for nursing me back to health.
1:00:39
Speaker 1: I'm taking all your shit and I'm leaving. But then
1:00:42
Speaker 1: he doesn't just leave. It seems like he got caught
1:00:48
Speaker 1: maybe or I don't know. And. he goes out and
1:00:56
Speaker 1: is like bringing this little package to these dudes that
1:00:59
Speaker 1: she was telling. Like, it seems like she was directing
1:01:02
Speaker 1: him to, but I'm not clear who these guys are
1:01:06
Speaker 1: that he runs into. If there's one of them, it
1:01:10
Speaker 1: says on the way to the Harbor, a voice calls
1:01:12
Speaker 1: out commander Gaburu, which do they know who he is?
1:01:17
Speaker 1: Or is this the name of the old lady? And
1:01:20
Speaker 1: she like completely beats the shit out of them. And
1:01:24
Speaker 1: then waves to him as he takes off. But there
1:01:28
Speaker 1: are more of these soldiers like in town that he's
1:01:31
Speaker 1: hiding from. I feel like I'm, there's just big chunks
1:01:41
Speaker 1: of this where there are panels missing. And I don't
1:01:44
Speaker 1: think that that's true. I think maybe there's just like
1:01:47
Speaker 1: context that perhaps folks are getting from other parts of
1:01:51
Speaker 1: the story that help more than, they might realize if
1:01:56
Speaker 1: you don't have that context. Seraphim says the Marines did
1:02:02
Speaker 1: note him for who he was. It's just that they
1:02:03
Speaker 1: are G5 Marines that Smoker was in charge of who
1:02:06
Speaker 1: are noted as being a bunch of thuggish assholes who
1:02:09
Speaker 1: abused the fuck out of their power. So burning just
1:02:12
Speaker 1: felt like fun. The one who saved him wasn't a woman,
1:02:16
Speaker 1: but his brother who we saw when they first met him,
1:02:19
Speaker 1: but they got separated. Oh, I do not remember that
1:02:22
Speaker 1: at all. Hmm. Okay. His power is the swamp swamp fruit.
1:02:29
Speaker 1: The island with the old lady is where he's mistaken
1:02:32
Speaker 1: for the revolutionary rebel who is the old lady's grandkid. Seraphim,
1:02:39
Speaker 1: you're saying the island with the old lady is where
1:02:42
Speaker 1: he's mistaken for the rebel who's the old lady's grandkid.
1:02:45
Speaker 1: I don't remember this at all. Is this a story
1:02:50
Speaker 1: that he like told to us at some point? because
1:02:54
Speaker 1: the way that you phrased that, it's like, you're going
1:02:58
Speaker 1: pointing at this, like, yeah, remember that story we heard?
1:03:01
Speaker 1: This is where that happened, but that is not ringing
1:03:05
Speaker 1: any bells for me at all whatsoever. So it like,
1:03:12
Speaker 1: I can't emphasize enough how much I did not understand
1:03:16
Speaker 1: that this was what was happening. Um, And then we
1:03:21
Speaker 1: like the next scene is. Because the island, it's like
1:03:30
Speaker 1: the island where they're, they have the sad factory and
1:03:33
Speaker 1: we see a bunch of workers and it's like, he
1:03:36
Speaker 1: inspires them to unionize because there's a sort of Che
1:03:40
Speaker 1: Guevara looking flag that is being waved around. And I, okay.
1:03:49
Speaker 1: So that, The fact that he's being mistaken for this
1:03:52
Speaker 1: guy makes Captain Gaburu has returned to us make more sense. Okay. No,
1:04:00
Speaker 1: it's during the arc. The whole thing with them shouting
1:04:03
Speaker 1: commander was them mistaking him for that guy. Okay. I
1:04:08
Speaker 1: really wish that there was something in the moment when
1:04:13
Speaker 1: he is rescued to indicate that he looks like this
1:04:17
Speaker 1: other dude. I don't know if there was something that
1:04:21
Speaker 1: is in that frame that I was supposed to have
1:04:23
Speaker 1: picked up on when he is rescued. But it just
1:04:28
Speaker 1: cuts from him landing on the island almost like starved
1:04:33
Speaker 1: to death to him being nursed by this old lady.
1:04:37
Speaker 1: And there's nothing to it. Like, there's no moment of
1:04:44
Speaker 1: her embracing or a photo that she has of somebody
1:04:47
Speaker 1: who looks a lot like him to, to indicate that
1:04:51
Speaker 1: she thinks he's somebody specific. So that just, that did
1:04:58
Speaker 1: not come through at all. And thus made a lot
1:05:01
Speaker 1: of the other stuff really confusing. I I'm looking at
1:05:08
Speaker 1: the time and I'm really sorry guys, because I am
1:05:11
Speaker 1: out of time. I have another recording and I really
1:05:15
Speaker 1: do have to go and I'm over time for this anyway.
1:05:17
Speaker 1: So I'm going to come back to this story, but
1:05:22
Speaker 1: I just, maybe if I reread it with that context
1:05:25
Speaker 1: and now I know this, it will help. I don't
1:05:28
Speaker 1: know if it will matter that much though, because there were,
1:05:31
Speaker 1: there was more than one spot where I was sort
1:05:32
Speaker 1: of like, wait, what's happening now? It felt like I
1:05:35
Speaker 1: kind of got a grasp of it and then I
1:05:38
Speaker 1: lost it again. But, Seraphim says really the main takeaway
1:05:44
Speaker 1: for the cover story is this is why Caribou is
1:05:46
Speaker 1: in Wano. Okay. With him running into X Drake at
1:05:51
Speaker 1: the end. Okay. All right. Well, nevertheless, I am going
1:05:56
Speaker 1: to want to return to this next time. And I'm
1:05:58
Speaker 1: probably Florian being the one who sent it to me
1:06:01
Speaker 1: since he's not here today. I'll give him a chance
1:06:04
Speaker 1: as well, but it's just very funny how some of
1:06:10
Speaker 1: these have been clear stories and have worked really well
1:06:13
Speaker 1: for me. And I don't know, maybe it's just the
1:06:16
Speaker 1: fact that I hate wet hair caribou so much and
1:06:19
Speaker 1: did not want to see him ever again. And so
1:06:22
Speaker 1: my brain just low key shut down when he turned
1:06:24
Speaker 1: up again, because it was like, no, I don't want
1:06:27
Speaker 1: to waste any of my power deciphering any of this,
1:06:31
Speaker 1: which is certainly a possibility. All right. I'm going to wrap.
1:06:36
Speaker 1: Thank you again so much to you guys for hanging
1:06:38
Speaker 1: out for your patience when I had to restart. Thank
1:06:41
Speaker 1: you to Seraphim for commissioning this one, asterisk. And until
1:06:44
Speaker 1: next time, toodaloo, motherfuckers. That was an unspoiled network podcast.
