This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me, covering one piece
0:11
episodes three thirty seven and three thirty eight. We are in a new arc
0:18
and we have met a new character. His name is Brooke and he is
0:26
weird and he is great and yes he poops. Welcome to spoil Me.
0:54
Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Hello, and I'm Florian.
1:00
Yeah, welcome Florian. Yeah, I'm glad to be back. I'm
1:06
delighted to have you. This is two like want to be episodes in a
1:11
row. Actually, yeah, yeah, and my other one was also like
1:15
like a month ago or something like that. Yeah, yeah, you burn
1:19
a debt. And then I think I had like two regular episodes and then
1:23
two more wannabes, So I know why, But tell me why you picked
1:29
these episodes. Oh okay, we have to acknowledge something. We all know.
1:37
It like saying something is your favorite or something is bad. We'll like
1:42
not be make maybe the best Unspoiled experience because it will influence something. With
1:49
that being said, I fucking love these episodes and this art. It's just
1:55
it probably is one of my favorite. It is my favorite. Maybe this
1:59
order one. They're like two ones that are fighting for the spot. Basically
2:02
nice, but I want to contradict myself or like not to influence you too
2:10
much in the fandom. However, this arc is pretty divisive, like a
2:16
lot of people don't really like it, don't Okay, Yeah, it's kind
2:23
of known as the arcwhere nothing happened, which I don't agree with me,
2:28
but you will have to see yourself. Oh boy, I'm really interested now
2:32
because, like you guys know that, I have been wanting a little bit
2:36
of like what our guys just didn't have bad guys to fight and hung out
2:39
with each other. So if it's an arc where nothing happens, that doesn't
2:44
sound bad to me. Like our guys are interesting enough without a whole thing,
2:52
and that's something that I find enjoyable whenever we get so we'll see.
2:58
But that's actually sounding kind of problem missing to me. Yeah, I'm interested
3:02
in your whole take on this next episode. Sections Yeah, um, and
3:12
the old funnimation this is saying that this is season six at this point,
3:17
which I don't know how exactly they've broken it up because it's not by arc
3:22
I don't think or elseo'd be more than six, wouldn't there. Mmm wait,
3:27
I want to free for no, that would be less maybe, um
3:35
yeah, but I don't know. Probably it's just like the I think it's
3:38
like they get released in Japan weekly. We told you this, and I
3:43
feel like the season is basically when a whole bunch of episodes basically come to
3:47
the US. That's oh, I see what you mean. Okay, they
3:53
don't get in the US, not weekly, but maybe like in bounds,
3:57
maybe that's how it works. But were right, and I haven't watched.
4:03
Just for those who are curious, there the episodes before this are filler episodes?
4:09
Is that ten? Almost around ten episodes that were filler And I'm definitely
4:15
gonna go back and watch those. Don't fear that. But I didn't yet,
4:20
so I won't be referencing anything about that. I may next time.
4:25
We'll see. Yeah, I say watch it because I feel like you also
4:30
get like a better look at the sunny, at the shape, you know.
4:34
Oh yeah, that makes sense. In these episodes they like kind of
4:40
not even show it off, but you kind of get more familiar with it,
4:43
you know. Yeah, it felt like they were treating the ship as
4:46
if we had seen it already in this episode, so nothing is really like,
4:50
there's no big back shots of like the whole room. We're kind of
4:56
closed in on our characters most of the time. And the only thing that
5:00
we really got to see much of was like the kitchen because everybody is sitting
5:02
at the table in the one scene, but that's kind of the only one.
5:06
And I don't know if this really matters, but the room that Zoro
5:12
is in, which is the one that's at the top of like the crow's
5:14
nest, is that because he's there lookout or is that something that they trade
5:21
off? Is that his room? I think this lookout basically this is the
5:29
crow's nest, because Frankie was like a crow's nest where you're outside that sucks.
5:33
So I mean he's not wrong. So he basically make a little room
5:38
up there, and yeah, it's a lookout. I am. I'm really
5:45
like, I kind of find it funny. But I also I should have
5:46
realized, like Zoro just being like where can I go? That's the farthest
5:49
away from everybody else that I can possibly get while still being on the ship.
5:54
I should have seen that coming. All right, all right, let's
5:59
start this episode. So we begin with Frankie and he is working on the
6:08
waiver. Yes, I finally remembered you guys, I am so bad with
6:13
that. I don't know why. I always want to be like wave rider.
6:16
I want to add something because just waiver first, to waiver means that
6:23
you are undecided, or that you're the person that's waving. You know,
6:29
She's just the waiver. That's what she does in the stores, waves of
6:31
people as they come in. So it just doesn't have a full enough like
6:36
description in it for me. But he is doing something with it. Despite
6:43
the fact that he freely admits he has never seen propulsion in a machine like
6:49
this before. That did not stop him from taking it apart and making something
6:55
new out of it, which Nami doesn't appreciate. Now, granted, he
7:01
should have asked, and I'm not going to argue that point. She's right,
7:05
however, Frankie is clearly gifted, and I am, for one,
7:12
very very interesting to see what his new and improved version does because just I
7:19
don't know. I just feel like it's likely he did something cool. And
7:25
it's got a little like rocking horse Head on it, which is adorable.
7:30
It's so so dumb. I love it, Yes, but she is not
7:36
that's too girly, I guess for her, is it girly? I don't
7:41
like she says something like this belongs on a ferry swheel or something. Oh
7:46
like, um, yeah, Harris Ell, you're right, yeah, I
7:49
guess I don't like to to playful, you know, like, yeah,
7:56
maybe I like it. I mean, you're on a giant ship with a
8:01
fucking lion's head on it. Girl, I feel like the playful ship has
8:05
sailed. Um, so this, like you know, this scene, we
8:16
segue away from it really quickly, and that is kind of all we see
8:22
of this whole little subplot for now. And then we get the title,
8:28
which I'm so glad that I plugged my ears and went la la la la
8:33
la la la. I can't see it because the title of the episode is
8:37
literally like mysterious Skeleton in the middle of the sea. Why do they do
8:43
this, you guys? I am sure it's because they want to get people
8:48
to It's like clickbait, right, I like, trying to get you to
8:52
watch. But then the manga was up before, and yeah, we talked
8:58
about it, and I'm so glad I didn't that would have really like yes,
9:07
like even we're not like, what, what did you expect? Like
9:13
this was a Warrior episode, so, um, did you expect anything?
9:18
I didn't know what to expect. I genuinely didn't because, like, we're
9:24
in between arcs, so part of me was like, are we going to
9:26
get the return of a character that I like, really liked and everybody's excited
9:33
to see my reaction that they came back, or is something like or is
9:37
somebody going to die really unexpectedly now that an arc is over? Or the
9:41
one thing that I had, like it was kind of a thought, what
9:46
maybe this is the episode where Lufy and Chopper find out that Lufy that Oosup
9:52
is Sniper King. That was the only thing and even that I was like,
9:58
is that big enough a deal that they'd want to? Like? I
10:01
don't know, you know, but I otherwise I was just sitting there waiting
10:09
for whatever to happen and didn't. I tried not to have any expectations about
10:13
it. That's good, that's good. So I think it worked out in
10:20
the life like you seem to enjoy yourself. So oh, definitely, definitely
10:26
And just again for anybody who didn't come to the live, I watched it
10:30
with the dub and We got some good reactions to the dub because I'm telling
10:35
you, kids, those voice actors really are just so good. And the
10:41
voice actor for Brooke is killing it. Yes, real weird laugh, real
10:46
weird mozart from Amadeis style laugh, but otherwise delightful. Not that that laugh
10:54
isn't delightful, but it's really really similar because I'm imagining it's the same voice
10:58
actor. Is the laugh from the guy who had the hair on Enis Lobby
11:09
nine, guy Kumadori. Okay, yeah, pink laying or something like that.
11:16
He did the like and that laugh is super similar. And so that
11:22
kind of like bugged me a little bit just because I was like, we've
11:26
heard this before. You don't have anything else. You can't you can't come
11:28
up with a different, like sort of tone or anything. But otherwise,
11:31
yeah, he's very good. Um. So we see all of our friends
11:39
are hanging out on the ship, and of course us, Up, Lufy
11:45
and Chopper are all hanging out together the way they always are whenever we have
11:48
downtime. It's these three together playing on the swing in the sort of park
11:56
like area on the deck of the ship, and Sanji comes out and asks
12:03
them to please get some octopuses from their tank in order to so that he
12:11
can make a big, like octopus centered dinner. Yes, you guys,
12:20
these octopuses are so cute and I'm super sad I don't want them to eat
12:26
them. They're so adorable. There are these little pink guys with little faces
12:33
there. But now now is my question. Also in the life, she
12:41
said we need more like animation of food, and these were the literal octopus
12:46
that they've ried up and served you. And you were like, this looks
12:48
lovely, So which one is it? I mean, that's the thing about
12:54
being a mea eater and also loving animals. You do that about face thing,
13:00
it's no, no, no, don't do it. And then ooh
13:03
m, that looks good. It's like Homer Simpson. Have you watched the
13:07
Simpsons, m I mean, not everything, but yes, he has a
13:13
pet pig that eventually they like kill an eat and he's like sobbing crying while
13:16
eating this delicious barbecue at the end of the episode. And that feels right
13:20
to me, you know, yes, absolutely, And I mean you know,
13:26
actual octopuses in real life are not cute, not to say they're not
13:33
awesome. They are and they. I mean, there are some cute ones.
13:39
I feel like like there are some ones that are like I have like
13:43
really big eyes, but they're small body and it's like, oh, like
13:46
everything all right, guys, go up into the discord and share with me
13:52
some really cute real life octopuses. I think they exist. Um, but
13:58
I have to say I'm not a fan of dishes with octopie octopuses in it.
14:03
Like I'm m I thought it was is it pie? I don't know.
14:09
I'm not the native speaker here. I'm fucking shaming myself. I'm just
14:16
gonna I'm just gonna look it up. Kids. Plural octopus octopuses, yes,
14:22
okay? Um, so yeah, I don't know. Do you do
14:26
you like it? It's it's not I like seafood, but not I really
14:31
like it. Um. That's not to say like there have been dishes it
14:35
can be very rubbery, but um, mostly I have really liked it.
14:41
It's always more tender than I think it's gonna be. I imagine it as
14:43
rubbery, but that's when it's done badly. And I've also had a few
14:48
soups that use um squid ink. I know that squid is not the same
14:52
thing, but they use that ink as a flavoring, and my god,
14:56
it is spectacular. So I don't if they use octopus inc ever as in
15:01
the same way. But honestly, there is very little in terms of seafood
15:07
that I don't like. The only thing I can think of is raw oysters,
15:11
which are disgusting and an abomination, and everybody who has decided those are
15:16
good has to have their head examined. But that's the only thing. Like
15:22
raw, Yeah, you is that not a thing? I mean, it
15:28
probably is, but I never had them like I had. I mean,
15:31
like where you are, Yeah, not in my area, Like in my
15:35
vicinity where I live now is landlocked, so it's not a thing here.
15:43
Where I used to live in Connecticut was right on the ocean, and seafood
15:48
was just such a huge thing with the tourism and whatnot. And yeah,
15:52
oysters on the half shell are a major draw at there's like restaurants that that's
15:58
kind of all they do, and it's just raw oysters that they shuck open
16:03
right in front of you and they just put them on a bed of ice
16:06
and give you like some saw like vinegary sauce or some lemons and that's all.
16:11
You just squeeze that on and slide it off the shell into your mouth
16:14
and swallow it. Okay, truly, it's like lugie. It's like if
16:19
you like, it's like that kind of texture. It's hideous. I do
16:26
not get it. I don't like that at all. Yeah, thank you
16:33
forgive me everybody who's listening who just had that horrific But I am not going
16:37
to really sincerely apologize because I feel like I really got my point across with
16:40
that absolutely. So yeah, we get this like extended bit where Lufy at
16:48
first is the one to offer to go and get them to which us up
16:52
is like, dude, reminder, you can't swim, so if you fall,
16:56
that's a bad deal for us. I may as well just go ahead
16:57
and do it. And he's got these two huge paddles that look like the
17:03
peels they used to take pizzas out of pizza ovens. M And he goes
17:10
down there in his like gear. He's got a Snorkel style mask on,
17:18
but there's no like usually those masks have like a thing that covers your nose,
17:22
but it's just the goggles. He's pinching his nose closed when he drops
17:26
down, and he's got a backpack on as well that just has like a
17:30
little picture of an octopus in it, which so I imagine it the intention
17:34
was I'm going to toss him into my little bucket on my back and swim
17:40
to the surface, which is adorable because that was super optimistic. Who's up.
17:45
Yeah, he saw these like in a this is something that you see
17:48
in a cartoon, and he will be like that will work, and this
17:52
is literally a cartoon and it did not work. So it's like, I
17:56
don't know what it feeds like extra embarrassing in some way. It's weird too
18:00
because like once he actually starts to grab them, he's just flipping them with
18:06
the paddles up to the surface onto the deck of the ship, so he's
18:11
not even like trying to use it that way. So I don't really know
18:14
what that was intended to do. I don't either if somebody wants to let
18:18
us know, because I do know. In Japanese culture, I have often
18:25
seen like octopuses and like these kind of barrels that us pass on the back
18:30
or it's like a vase, a vase, and it's kind of often depicted
18:37
octopus. Yeah, yeah, something like this. And I don't know if
18:44
this is like just a cultural thing, um, but I've seen it before,
18:48
but always like in an age context. Okay, yeah, so yeah.
18:53
At first it looks like it's going well. He's the flipping them up
18:57
to the surface, and then all of a sudden, the camera sort of
19:00
like zooms in super close and we see the tentacles wrapping around him, and
19:04
then it backs up and he is covered in octopuses that are very angry looking.
19:11
These are pokemon that are here for a fight. And I really enjoy
19:15
this because he is in the tank that the girls can see. Both Nami
19:21
and Robin are sitting in this like lounge area. I forgot to mention this,
19:29
but Sanjie makes them drinks and sends it down with this little like dumb
19:36
waiter. I guess is what it is. I think that's that's that's the
19:45
life, man, I swear to God, chilling in a giant aquarium room,
19:51
just hanging out and somebody's like, hey, I made you blended drinks,
19:56
and they just like come down a shoot in these asses with like a
20:00
cherry and pineapple on the come on, just like this is the thing that
20:07
keeps SANGI from being unbearable for me. You know, he's up their ass
20:11
as he wishes, but he's just like constantly fallen all over himself for them.
20:17
But he does bring something material to the table literally and figuratively. Absolutely,
20:26
it's hard for me to stay mad at him, just man. So
20:30
anyway, Eventually Robin like uses her powers to pull some of them off of
20:40
him, and we've got Lufy who thinks he's coming in to rescue him,
20:45
and he just can't see through all of the like ink, so he uses
20:48
the gattling power and just beats the ever loving shit out of us up before
20:55
grabbing him and pulling him out. I love this. Like watching you life,
20:59
you will first like what the this is not that? Then Yes gets
21:03
hurt and you're like, oh, dere it is okay, Like you were
21:07
like, I don't get oh no, you you had it right, and
21:10
Lufy was not the one who was thinking. So yep, I love that.
21:17
So yeah, he winds up on the deck and its covered in lumps
21:21
and bruises. However, in the middle of like you know, yelling at
21:26
Lufy, they get interrupted because Zoro has spotted something that is floating in the
21:32
sea. And it is a barrel that has a flag on it that says
21:37
offering of treasure to the Sea God, and it's all bound up. They
21:44
don't know what's in it, but of course, you know, Lufy is
21:47
imagining it's filled with gold. Nami is like it's probably just like some dried
21:52
fish and some booze. And eventually they decide to open it with the caveat
22:02
that if they do, they have to like create a new offering and throw
22:07
it into the water, which they don't do, if I'm not mistaken,
22:12
no that I'm just saying, guys, a storm pops up pretty quickly,
22:21
and maybe if they had made a sacrifice and put it out in the ocean,
22:27
it wouldn't have come. Maybe we wouldn't have this storm. I'm not
22:32
trying to victim blame, but you know, like maybe we just should have
22:37
been a little bit more like prepared to get it done immediately instead of the
22:41
leisurely sort of pace that they seemed like they were going to take where they
22:45
got to enjoy their treasure first and then eventually get around to putting an offering
22:51
back in like you know in Raiders of the Lost Ark where he goes up
22:56
to that thing and he has like a bag of sand he hopes is the
23:00
same way as the Golden head and he has to like move the head at
23:03
this and put the sand in the spot like that, like you don't take
23:07
it out of the water until you have your own sacrifice, like already in
23:11
the water. Ah okay, I see. So it's like what would I
23:15
say, info Metal Alchemist and equivalent to exchange. Oh yeah, yeah,
23:19
yeah exactly, yes, perfect. See. Yeah, but I feel like
23:27
this is like the moment where like this episode kind of shifts from like really
23:33
oh everything is funny too, I feel like it goes within a second,
23:37
yeah, very much. So, oh something is like what is happening?
23:41
Like something is off between menacing and yeah it was not because I thought they
23:48
would open it and there might be a note inside or like just something that
23:52
was evidence that, oh, something's going wrong somewhere and we have to find
23:56
a person and rescue that, you know what I mean, like a clue
24:00
to lead them into their next quest in other words, And instead it's a
24:08
bright red signal flare that goes into the sky with no warning at all,
24:15
Like everybody is taken completely off guard and Robin seems to be the only one
24:19
that really gets what it is. And she's like, that feels like it's
24:23
letting somebody know where we are so they can come to us. And I
24:27
was like, yeah, that was also the impression I got. And I
24:30
don't love this at all. It's like, you know, they're being pursued
24:37
by the Marines, but this is not like a Marines style trap to me,
24:42
no, so and we have you know, we do get a bit
24:48
of a spoiler at the like not spoiler, but at the end of the
24:53
episode, we wind up in a position where it seems like, oh,
24:56
okay, maybe this is but it's not not clear what's going on at all.
25:03
So like it's these things like what happens at the very end and this
25:07
barrel are like somehow connected. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, it's real
25:14
weird. And I just, for instance, Florian m. If you were
25:22
on the high seas and you fish, you would be with you know,
25:29
your group of close friends and your your dope ass ship, and you were
25:34
passing by a giant barrel that says offering of treasure to the sea God.
25:41
Would you let's say this is a D and D campaign, would you try
25:48
and get that barrel up and open it. M M. I. I
25:55
mean even if a D and D then especially yes fair, Yeah, I
26:02
shouldn't have put it in that context, a real life context, because when
26:04
in real life context, I kind of propose a counter question, how long
26:10
have we been on c a day trip? Or are out there for months?
26:17
Because if I'm out there for months, I'm like, this is so
26:19
fucking boring. Yes a barrel, oh maybe cursed get it on here,
26:23
Like if this at least something I don't know, if i'd say months,
26:26
I'd probably say you've been out there about a week. That's what I'm guessing
26:32
with these guys that they've been out for about a week. But I don't
26:33
know that because like one piece, timing is all over the place and it
26:37
doesn't make a lot of sense. So yeah, we never get like really
26:41
a good estimation how long they're on the waters. Yeah, violence, but
26:48
I get what you mean though, it's it feels not like the I don't
26:53
provoke anything if it's not necessary, you know. Yeah, Yeah, And
26:59
I'm like, I see what you mean about just being bored. And that's
27:03
the thing I think that a person who lays a trap like this, and
27:07
I'm just going to call it a trap because that's what it feels like,
27:10
even though I'm not totally sure that's what's going on, but that's what somebody
27:15
would be like relying on, is that whoever comes across it is just so
27:21
bored that they're gonna fucking be curious and just won't be able to resist it.
27:25
And that's where I get my like, that's my toxic trait, is
27:30
being really curious and just wanting to know, even though it's not necessarily a
27:34
good idea that's helpful to anybody. But yeah, so they open it,
27:41
this thing happens, and everybody is just like, what the fuck is going
27:45
on? Like they kind of think that maybe somebody is trying to like find
27:52
them, but they sort of have to let go of the concern about that
28:00
because this storm suddenly comes upon them. Nami sees it coming. I really
28:07
do like this. Lufy is like, I don't see the storm, but
28:10
I trust you. If you say there's a storm coming, there's a storm
28:11
coming. And as I see, thank you, thank you, Lufy,
28:14
appreciate you to each according to his ability, and he they get into the
28:22
gear to deal with this ship. It looks like it's going to be really
28:26
bad, and then Frankie has to be like, guys, the Sunny can
28:32
definitely deal with a storm, it's fine. And he does something and I
28:37
don't get what this is that happens. Can you tell me what this is?
28:41
It's I watched this episode two and I think like they sadly make a
28:47
poor drop of showing. So um, I mean it will be explained more
28:55
later. But the Sunny can in some ways to transform. So basically they
29:03
are like paddles. Do you know, like these I know them, like
29:04
they're on Mississippi River, like these these petal boats. Yeah, okay,
29:10
you mentioned boats. Hmm, I know what you're talking about. And basically
29:15
the Sunny can lie put them out and then they can get out of the
29:19
storm and not be concerned about the wind because they don't need Oh I see,
29:26
Okay, gotcha? Because yeah, I heard them say paddle, but
29:29
I was not seeing when I hear the word paddle, I'm thinking the kind
29:34
of thing that like Usap was taken down into the tank with him, so
29:40
I wasn't getting what they were saying. Okay, okay, that makes sense.
29:44
Um, And he calls this like form one or something, so I
29:47
guess that they're that's like the numbers are the different ways that the Sunny can
29:52
transform. There is like a lot of gadgets. I mean we have seen
29:57
it in the last episode, like the Sonny also kind of like blessed off.
30:02
So yeah, it is a shape of Frankie. So that will be
30:06
like weird mechanics build. I'm so excited about this. This is exactly what
30:10
I wanted, you know, in the episode. I think it was with
30:12
Bernadette and she was like, what do you think it would be like?
30:15
And I was like, well, Frankie's building it, then it's gonna have
30:17
a bunch of weird shit. And I'm so happy that's exactly what we're getting.
30:21
And I just didn't think Frankie would be like with us for it.
30:23
But I'm delighted, delighted, delighted. Yeah, how how did you like
30:30
it this this episode? Like Frankie is basically the new coup well always the
30:36
new crewmember. I don't we don't know yet, but but how did you
30:40
feel like did he feel did it feel weird or was it just like yeah,
30:44
he's no, yeah, he didn't feel weird at all. It's just
30:48
I think that maybe if we were on the Mary, it would have felt
30:52
weird because I'm just I have a sort of idea of who belongs on the
30:56
Mary, you know. But now that we're starting a new arc with a
31:00
new ship and we're entering what feels like a new era, the fact that
31:06
he built the ship and he is here that just makes sense. And also
31:11
that the whole fact that he's the one who like stole their money but then
31:18
he uses this like wood that he spent the money on towards it and everything
31:23
it has made him like literally invested in the straw Hats in such a way.
31:30
So I am in what's the word I want, like just on paper,
31:40
I really enjoy him being involved, and I think he really does bring
31:45
a different energy than everybody else, which is what you need. You need
31:51
characters who feel really distinct, and he doesn't feel like anyone else, so
31:59
that's important. I don't know, Yeah, I feel like if it's in
32:01
really well, I can totally see that, especially about the energy part because
32:08
Frankie is actually he's older. He's thirty four, I really like, right,
32:15
so he's like definitely like Robin is like twenty eight, so she's also
32:20
older. But everybody else is in your teens, right, so and and
32:25
of course Frankie is like he is a goofball and you know, but at
32:31
some points you really see that he had he already had a life in some
32:37
ways, you know, and I feel like, yeah, you can see
32:39
that definitely in his energy. And however, I'm gonna say he actually first
32:45
first time around, I did not really I was not sure that Frankie should
32:50
have joined, Like I was like, pret I was like, m,
32:53
I don't know. Maybe he grew on me. He definitely grew, but
32:59
it took me a little longer than I feel like it was intended to take.
33:02
You know. Yeah, I get that because honestly, I said that
33:07
I didn't think he was joining because it felt like the crew was complete.
33:12
So it surprised me that we were still going to like add members and whatnot.
33:19
And it looks like we have even a new member now, although I
33:22
don't know how long Brooke is going to hang around. But he I just
33:28
liked Frankie so much, like despite everything that he had done, I was
33:32
still like, why do I like this guy? Though? So that really
33:37
my personal like feeling toward him won me over more than I think it might
33:40
have otherwise if it were somebody else, I still you guys, cards on
33:49
a table. Robin is so boring. I am so bored with her.
33:55
It's such a bummer because like she it's not that she doesn't have her own
34:00
personality. She does. It's very distinct and it sucks. It's so boring.
34:08
And you know, it's like kind of funny when you see a moment
34:12
where everybody is scared and she's having like no reaction. But honestly, it's
34:17
not like she's having no reaction in a fun way. It's not. It's
34:24
just she's having no reaction because it's almost like she is so utterly disconnected from
34:30
everything that's happening around her. And even now when she's supposed to be growing
34:37
closer to the crew and liking them and helping out, there's just such an
34:44
aloof quality. I just want to like her more. There's only two women.
34:52
I don't want to not like one of the only two women. And
34:58
it's not even like I don't like her. I just don't care about her,
35:02
you know, yes, no, I um, I hear you.
35:07
Um. I don't know. Like like I I feel like m Robbin's character
35:15
is oftentimes like the straight woman. Um so yes, that that's like kind
35:22
of where she's like put in this comedy because one piece a part of it
35:29
is a comedy, you know. Yeah, oftentimes in the comedy is that
35:32
you have like this great guy girl whatever, and um yeah, it can
35:40
be and let's say unfortunate role. Um, I just think like if you
35:45
if you do straight man right, I'm gonna stay straight man. Forgive me,
35:50
guys sexist, but it's just easier if you do that right. It's
35:55
also funny. It's also a funny role. Like the example that always comes
36:00
to mind for me immediately is like Captain Holt on Brooklyn nine nine, who
36:06
is so uptight and rigid that that is part of the joke is that he
36:13
is such a straight edge that his favorite food is this like flavorless breakfast bar
36:21
that is beige and just provides all your nutrients and doesn't taste like anything,
36:24
and it's his favorite food because he just doesn't have any excitement or passion about
36:30
anything. Or like Ron Swanson on Parks and Rack, you know, and
36:35
he is just this like ridiculous, over the top libertarian, but he rarely
36:39
smiles and he's always vaguely disapproving of things. If we have that energy from
36:45
her, that would be still a sort of straight man vibe, but it
36:52
wouldn't be boring, which is where I fall like, I don't know anything
37:00
about what makes Robin take besides archaeology, which also kind of boring, I'm
37:09
sorry, also kind of boring. No, that's that's slowly fine. Um,
37:15
I'm going to tell you. I feel like they are going to be
37:17
like sprinkles of like more personality coming U. Yeah, it's not going to
37:25
be. I don't know. She will be suddenly a totally new person,
37:30
and I don't know if it is. I feel like it's kind of intended
37:36
because we had her ARC and you could say she's changed. She has changed,
37:42
but maybe it also takes some time for her to truly come her out
37:46
of her shell. But I can totally see that. Yeah, it would
37:51
be also kind of nice if we could get on with it, right.
37:54
Yeah. I think that something that would be interesting to see, considering how
38:00
she has sort of been on the run her whole life. I wouldn't mind
38:04
seeing some sneakiness from her, you know, maybe seeing some of that like
38:09
survivor quality. But she's just so unflappable in a way that doesn't feel like
38:15
it really meshes with the concept of a person who has been defense on the
38:22
defensive since they were a little kid. So yeah, I don't know.
38:28
I think that's kind of part of it. Is like her backstory doesn't seem
38:32
to match her vibe, and that's part of what's where the disconnect is for
38:38
me as well. No, that's that's fair. Yeah, but keep us
38:44
posted about this. I am interested in, like how it develops over time,
38:47
if it develops fingers crossed. Um. Oh, Jessica is asking what
38:53
do you think of everyone's outfits? You know what, Jessica, that's a
38:58
good question because the only person who's outfit I noticed really was different was Namies,
39:02
and I didn't. I was actually thinking to myself, Nammie's outfit is
39:08
different, I should pay attention to everybody else's And then I did not do
39:12
that. Um so let's see. Oh I forgot too with the funimation.
39:16
There's a little like ad break bits and that was really fun. I enjoy
39:21
these, it is m I also don't remember the outcreets right now. I
39:27
feel like Robin also had something different on, like she has some shown Yeah,
39:34
purple sounds right. I'm looking at Zoro, his deal looks pretty much
39:37
the same. Uh ustups is the same. I think, just like the
39:42
overalls changes later kind of Oh okay, Nami is in like a tank top
39:52
and skirt. Is that right, m But I guess, like to really
39:58
answer the question, I didn't notice, So I guess I'm not that moved
40:02
by anybody's outfit. No. I also think like they're like normal, like
40:08
nothing really to scream about. Yeah, Frankie's got his shirt is different.
40:15
He's got like a yellow shirt and not it's got a symbol on the back,
40:19
but he doesn't. I kind of miss his Hawaiian shirt. Actually,
40:22
now that I'm looking at this, the Hawaiian shirt was like a real statement
40:27
piece and not the Spetos. It was the short guys. It was the
40:30
shirt that's to me. What I remember is the shirt like the Speetos.
40:36
That's just like, oh, yeah, well, you know this guy has
40:39
he has that weird look to him of Sylvester Stallone when he was young,
40:45
because Sylvester Stallone was so overbuilt on top, but he did not do leg
40:50
day, so he had these like skinny little toothpick legs and then he had
40:54
this giant Derito upside down triangle kind of thing going on. Demian says,
41:05
I also have to say, I think Robin's English voice actor is much better,
41:08
but the English translation cuts out a lot of her super dark, dry
41:13
humor. I'll try to point it out if I notice it happened. Okay,
41:15
yeah, I'd be really interested to see that, because for the most
41:21
part the dub has made the humor work more for me. So I'd be
41:24
real curious to see what you mean, I did not notice that. If
41:32
that, I mean, I don't also don't know. I mean, I
41:36
know what the people talk about, like it is kind of like I'm the
41:39
tone of Robin that she has more like dark humor. But I mean,
41:46
the one thing that pops in my head was like in Skypia, like at
41:51
the very beginning or somewhere, it's like the skyser sharks and I don't know,
41:57
somebody's in the water like Sorow and guys on the ship are like,
42:01
is he is he that? Like? Is he got he ripped a pop
42:05
by these sky sharks? And Robin He's like, now the clouds will be
42:08
the white clouds will turn red. Basically is something like that, she says,
42:12
and Usop is like, Jesus Christ, oh I don't remember that,
42:19
but okay, is see what you're meaning? Saraphan says, Okay, Yeah,
42:22
if the dub cuts out her morbid little remarks or tones them down,
42:25
that will mess with her coming right. Um yeah, maybe that's it,
42:30
which is funny because, like I said, the dub tends to like accentuate
42:34
the humor. I feel like, so if they're not doing that, I
42:37
wonder why, because they'll they don't seem to have a problem with making things
42:43
a little dark here and there, so why wouldn't they let her have those
42:46
moments? That's interesting? Yeah, that's all. Don't know however, thanks,
42:52
Yes, we get like scary stories told to USOP because it was there
43:00
when they learned about the Florian triangle. Hello, that's me him. Did
43:07
you get that this is like kind of a spoof of the Bermuda Triangle?
43:14
Oh yeah, yeah, definitely, yeah. I uh, I really appreciated
43:21
this because, you guys, I was super worried that we were going to
43:25
get all of these like oh, there's ghost ships, there's ghosts, blah
43:30
blah blah, and it was gonna be like it was gonna be like a
43:34
Scooby Doo type. It looks like there's a ghost, but there's a perfectly
43:37
reasonable explanation. There isn't a ghost to just look like a ghost or somebody
43:42
who's trying to trick you into thinking there was a ghost. No, that's
43:46
not it, kiddos, So we have the stories told us up. He
43:53
is freaking out. I love the shot of Sanji lighting his match and telling
43:59
the story like he's got a flashlight under his chin around a campfire and not.
44:06
As they're standing there like enjoying him freaking out, this absolutely fucking huge
44:15
ship begins to materialize out of the fog behind them. This thing is utterly
44:23
massive. It's insane, and I appreciated that even though everybody had been laughing
44:30
at usap a second ago, all of them except for Robin, of course,
44:37
begin to freak out at the sight of this thing. And okay,
44:43
Robin's got a purple lace edged dress, thigh high fish nets with garters.
44:52
I can't prove of this, you guys know I can't approve of this,
44:58
right, yeah, we know, like, come on, come on,
45:04
come on, no, no, no, no, I don't think so
45:10
why why we all know why, but why come on? Ohnami's got shorts
45:22
on. Okay, she's got shorts, and she's got like boots that come
45:25
up to like her calves. Why though, like I don't know, I
45:34
miss her sandals. I feel like that makes more sense. He's um,
45:38
can you do you see lufy? Can you tell me what he's wearing?
45:42
He's wearing what looks like red, but it may be the because I'm looking
45:46
at like a sort of shaded moment here that the coloring might be off.
45:52
He's wearing like a cuffed red pants and they may just be his normal gean
45:58
sort of thing and a yellow vest. Yeah, it's basically the normal loofy
46:05
look, but just with different colors. Okay, yeah, I was not
46:07
sure if this was if he has like also a little change here. Um,
46:14
and he's got like thongs sandals on? Does he usually wear those?
46:17
I can't remember. Yes, normally, And that's what everybody's freaking out about,
46:22
right Like regarding the live action they yes, yes, but but to
46:29
be honest, I'm kind of like, Okay, if this is really the
46:31
worst thing, then fine, yeah, but it is ridiculous. Still no
46:38
new info about the life, but we will keep you updated. Yeah,
46:43
I'm really curious about that. Um yeah, I just think that doing action
46:50
sequences and flip flops is tricky and they just wanted to make things a little
46:53
bit easier on themselves. Well just imagine like, okay, we have like
47:00
Chopper, this is going to be weird, and then I feel like I
47:05
keep origin and now we have like a skeleton. Um, I mean there's
47:12
a lot can be a puppet. I feel like that would be dope.
47:17
You know they won't, though, they're fucking gonna do c G. I
47:21
wish they would do a puppet though. Yes, yes, I just at
47:23
first I was like no, and then I was, oh, yes,
47:24
a puppet, but they won't do it. That's what the whole fucking thing
47:29
should be is fucking puppets. M M. Even Chopper, Yes, yeah,
47:34
I think you you said this before evening, did I back or maybe
47:40
somebody else because I consume a lot of warm peace content. So so yeah.
47:47
The ghost ship pulls up and we hear it's kind of singing. Yeah
47:54
again, shout out to the dub. It's a beautiful voice. And we
48:00
meet work or not meet, but we see him. This is so funny.
48:07
He's just sitting there on the deck of his ship with a cup of
48:12
tea, meisurely passing the time, and looks at them in like an extremely
48:21
relaxed way, which is sort of wild considering how excited he claims to be
48:27
about seeing people for the first time in such a long time. He doesn't
48:30
really show that excitement in this moment. He just like looks at them.
48:35
And this was part of what made me sort of wonder if we were going
48:37
to get a Oh, it looks like it's a skeleton, but really it's
48:42
They just wanted you to think it was a skeleton kind of thing that we
48:45
were going to get, like the Scooby Doo Oki Doke, and it was
48:52
all to lure you onto the ship so that they could then take over your
48:57
ship, knock you out and take your ship, you know. But no,
49:02
he's just sitting there with his cup, looking at them and singing,
49:08
I guess. And he's got this afro, a cravat, a collar that's
49:20
like turned up on this jacket, and there's a top hat balanced on the
49:27
afro in such a way that I have tried to wear hats myself in my
49:34
life and it's unsuccessful. Just saying Okay, I have big hair and I
49:40
have also got a big head, so combine those two things, and I
49:44
have rarely found hats that fit. But they have those like mini hats that
49:49
are attached to a barrette, you know. So I've often thought like,
49:53
oh, why don't I just do this because that looks ridiculous because it looks
49:59
fucking stu. But that's why. But okay, pull it off. Yeah,
50:05
he's an icon, a fashion icon, honestly from like I don't know
50:08
when he died hundred years ago or something. No when, Um, yeah,
50:15
I don't know, did you? I mean yeah, I mean I
50:21
saw your reaction, but do you want to? And I what you thought?
50:27
And like your face was just like what's happening? And I really thought
50:31
this was a trick, Like I thought it was delightful and him having the
50:37
little fucking teacup was super cute. But I just I didn't imagine for a
50:43
moment that it was what it looked like, because it turns out to just
50:46
be exactly what it looks like. It's a skeleton and he's singing and he's
50:52
the only one on the whole ship. I yes, and I think it's
50:55
supposed to be that he survived because he doesn't have to eat like he It
51:00
seems like he enjoys eating, but he doesn't have to. If I'm not
51:04
mistaken, I may be wrong about that. Hm. No, I feel
51:07
like that's that's probably right. Um, Like, what's it called the Champs
51:15
in Stephen Julie verse? Oh yeah, so I feel like Rookie is somewhere
51:22
in this room. Okay, gotcha? Um. So this is when Lufy
51:29
is like, yeah, we're definitely going on board that ship and we need
51:31
to the It's actually Zoro that comes up with this idea because Lufy wants to
51:40
go, and they talk about figuring out who's gonna go with him, and
51:45
us up, Nami and Chopper are all supremely freaked out, so they don't
51:51
want to go, and they're like, why don't we just let the people
51:53
who want to go with him go? And Zoro is like, our are
52:00
you sure that's what you want to do? And it cuts to every other
52:06
fighter standing on the railing of the ship ready to go to the ghost ship,
52:13
which I didn't really understand the downside here. It took them explaining it
52:19
because it then cuts back and they're clinging to Zoro, who's like walking and
52:23
dragging them the way a dad does with their like cranky child. And they're
52:30
saying, you can't just let all of the strongest people go and not leave
52:37
anybody behind to protect us, which I get the point. But also Lucy
52:45
only winds up taking two people with him. He takes Sangi and Nami,
52:52
So you could have just taken like Robin and Frankie and still have left behind
53:00
lads. And maybe it's supposed to be that he took people that wouldn't have
53:05
stopped him from you led like asking Brooke to join. I mean that happened
53:12
anyway, But I mean I maybe it is just the idea of basically Lufy
53:20
doesn't care. He will not pick anybody. He is more like if you
53:23
want to come, then you come, or no, and everybody else is
53:29
well basically sorry. It's like, oh, if Sanji goes, I will
53:32
go, and Frankie will be like, okay e when you go, I
53:36
will go, and Robin is just like, oh, this is an old
53:37
time ship. I want to find out what you know. They would all
53:43
so you would have to make it random because if you make it who wants
53:46
to go, then they all actually would want to go, you know what
53:51
I mean? Yeah, I guess. I guess what it comes down to
53:54
is what you said that Lufy wouldn't pick people would which he should be,
54:00
is he's the captain, and that's like, low key, your whole job,
54:02
dude, is delegating. So you should be the one to say you're
54:07
not coming, you stay on the ship. Yeah, but he wants to
54:10
um like, he's all about the adventure and he's not going to keep his
54:15
friends from an adventure if they want interest that they need. I'm just saying
54:19
Lufy's a bad captain, that's all. Yeah, that's fine. You know,
54:22
I feel like we all know this. It's fine. It's fine.
54:25
Like he's a great guy and we love him. But yeah, I appreciate
54:31
the attempt at democracy, but there are times where you just need to be
54:35
a leader. There's just times for that, Lufie. But okay, whatever.
54:39
So he takes them with him, and Nami is shaking in her boots
54:47
on the like literally crying at one point, and they get up to the
54:54
deck of this ship and the fucking skeleton is just actually a skeleton that stands
55:05
up and greets them and talks. He has a cane. He's wearing what
55:12
looks like I guess it's like just the pants that he but they look like
55:20
hip huggers because they're like so low slung that you can see the top of
55:24
his hip bones poking up. And I think it's meant to just be that
55:30
he hasn't got any flesh now, so they're hanging, you know, like
55:34
they fit differently when he had a body. But this dude, and he
55:39
has a cane. Yes, yeah, this is just so great. I
55:47
love him. I'm just gonna say it. He is just delightful. What
55:53
the fuck? I was super not ready for this. Yeah, oh well
56:02
did you okay? He asks Nami. I mean, he wrecks Tsunami expect
56:10
but you didn't expect it like I didn't. I I saw it coming once
56:15
I saw that he was like, oh, a charming young lady, and
56:19
I was like, okay, here we go. But it got a lot
56:25
more awful very quickly when he asks if he can see her panties, but
56:35
she also asks Robin, and thankfully Nami punches him and tells him enough with
56:42
the sexual harassment, which I appreciated her actually using the words sexual harassment,
56:47
although the show has used the word sexual harassment in a completely nonsensical way.
56:54
So I'm not entirely sure whether I should trust that, you know, because
56:59
that's what I had what's her face saying? Um, Kalifer, she kept
57:06
on being like that sexual harassment. It was not anything of the sort.
57:10
I really hope we don't get lots more of this. That's like my main
57:17
caveat on this character is I don't want more of that, you know,
57:22
that is that is totally fair. I'm we will get um how do I
57:30
say that we got a bit of brook Speck story. We actually got a
57:34
lot of his specstory, to be honest. Yeah, but basically he was
57:39
alone for a long long time, which is like something that I don't know.
57:45
It's like nothing the forefront. And this is also a reason why I
57:47
find him such a fascinating character, because he is really upbeat and like really
57:53
like cheerful, and it's like you were alone for years, like troal years,
58:00
surrounded by the people, like by your dead crewmates, like on this
58:04
ship. Yeah, Like I feel like I actually maybe this is an excuse,
58:09
but I just feel like he is what's the opposite of socialized, like
58:14
desocialized, because he was alone for such a Yes, he is like into
58:22
Nammy and Robin because they're sexy women. But I don't feel like when he
58:27
was alive he would go up to women be like Cannes, see your panties.
58:30
A result, this is just a result of his isolation. I feel
58:35
like, Okay, maybe that's such excuses, but I'm willing to accept that
58:39
with like an asterisk based on future behavior. That's totally fair. I mean,
58:45
you only met him, but yeah, it's just like I find him
58:49
such as a fascinating character. Yeah, this is really so. He almost
58:55
immediately Lufy is just like, do you want to join her crew? Because
59:01
that would be great, And this dude just accepts, just says yes,
59:09
and there's very little ceremony about it. It is so and I'm skipping over
59:16
the thing that I genuinely found so funny. But Lufy asks him if he
59:30
poops, and there's like this long pause in which Brook like gets up and
59:38
dust himself off, because I think it's just when Nami had kicked him.
59:43
He gets up, dust himself off, He moves off to the side and
59:46
gets his cane and then comes back to the center of the frame and very
59:54
softly says, oh, yes, I poop in. This just so understated,
1:00:02
and there's just the timing of it, with the silence before he answers,
1:00:09
I had to pause it, you guys, I had to pose it.
1:00:14
I was fucking cracking up. It was one of those things. It's
1:00:16
like, it's not that funny right away. It's funny, But the more
1:00:22
I thought about it, the more out of my mind I started to get
1:00:27
you know what I mean? Yes, I mean I same reaction first time,
1:00:30
and like seeing you reactor it watching it also, I left again,
1:00:37
and I left. I left pretty much every time. This is like,
1:00:40
um, one of the chokes that lives alone. Basically, it's just like
1:00:47
yes, I oh, yes, my poop, oh yeah, and then
1:00:55
yeah, he says yes to Lucy asking him, And I feel like the
1:01:01
title of the next episode, which we are now, yeah, let me
1:01:07
jump into the next one. It is is something with gentlemen. I feel
1:01:10
like the joy of seeing gentleman's skeleton's true identity, and this is something you
1:01:21
will not get. I feel like you will only get into Japanese version.
1:01:24
Apparently Brooke because he's so old, because you know, he's he died and
1:01:32
was alone for a long time. He um speech patterns and words that he
1:01:37
uses are like old timy, you know, okay um. I feel like
1:01:42
probably there are ways that you could convey that in English too, or like
1:01:45
in other languages. But I feel apparently this comes like really through into Japanese
1:01:52
version that he is like like really m yeah, gentleman like and basically like
1:01:58
an old English gentleman mine speaking. I wish they leaned on that a little
1:02:04
bit more in the dub then, because like there's a drop of that,
1:02:07
but it doesn't. It's like mostly in his manners and how proper he is
1:02:14
about a lot of things, but not really the language he uses, and
1:02:16
that's kind of an easy thing to do, so I'm surprised that they didn't
1:02:22
lean into that a little bit more. That's interesting. But I also know
1:02:25
like from the German version of for example, it's also not there. I
1:02:30
only found this out about like forums and stuff. Gotcha, Okay, So
1:02:37
also I want to mention like he's super tall, yes, very tall two
1:02:43
meters and ten, but what is this in an English messiment system which about
1:02:50
three feet almost, so that's six foot ten something like that around there,
1:02:54
which is pretty tall. Yeah, Harrod gresson type. Yeah, he's like
1:03:02
seven foot something. Well, I don't know how tall Zoro is meant to
1:03:07
be. He's the tallest, well know, now Frankie would be the tallest.
1:03:14
Frankie taller than Brooke. No, I feel like, um, I
1:03:20
think taller? Okay, um eight nine says he's eight foot nine apparently,
1:03:34
What the fuck kind of person was that? That's huge? All right,
1:03:42
but we've seen like really big dudes, I guess, but they've all been
1:03:45
like like weird superpowered freaks. I guess he is kind of a superpowered freak.
1:03:52
I suppose, yes, he's my fine. Oh, if if your
1:03:57
friends go out and I don't know, they're like, hey, I'm going
1:04:00
to the story quick and to come back and to have a living, speaking
1:04:05
skeleton with them, how would you react? Because I feel like the reaction
1:04:11
of the straw huts was mild. I mean, here's the thing, how
1:04:19
I would react if, like in my current life, versus how I would
1:04:29
react if I had lived the lives they have lived, seeing fishmen and rubbermen
1:04:38
and draftmen. It's actually kind of surprising they are as freaked out as they
1:04:45
are. That's actually really fair. We have seen some weird shit, and
1:04:51
I get that this is kind of the weirdest because he genuinely doesn't look like
1:04:56
he should be alive, so fair, but like, y'all live in a
1:05:01
real weird universe kids, I don't know what else to say. So Usap
1:05:09
has gone and gotten all kinds of stuff that looks like it's really to like
1:05:12
keep away vampires, which sort of seems to be the same thing that is
1:05:17
on his mind when he realizes later that he can't see Brooks's shadow and that
1:05:25
there's no reflection as well. Hm, I am. I find this actually
1:05:30
interesting because before, like when they talk about the ghost stories, you know,
1:05:36
they actually mentioned like zombies and skeletons and ghosts, you know. So
1:05:45
I find it interesting because not in a lot of things or vampires in this
1:05:51
instant, this is necessarily known, you know, like in a zombie movie.
1:05:57
It's like, okay, you act like you all knew what a zombie
1:06:00
was, Like this was not right pop culture. So I find it kind
1:06:04
of interesting or funny that no, in the one Piece world there are apparently
1:06:09
stories about zombies and vampires, you know, and ghosts, Like yeah,
1:06:15
I mean, I find it actually more interesting if they're like a law around
1:06:21
these things. Yeah, I agree. This was something that um that I
1:06:28
often got frustrated by. It was like, you know, people acting as
1:06:31
if they had never heard of a thing until it suddenly appears on and it's
1:06:35
like a lot more fun when everybody has an agreed upon especially if they're wrong.
1:06:42
But you understand why they're saying the things they do because we all thought
1:06:46
we knew. But and that's part of Have you read the City SACas books?
1:06:53
I dropped them. They will not ready for me. Okay, well
1:06:57
you're wrong. That's fine. I still listen to the podcast, do you
1:07:02
they're not reading them? Okay, yes, Actually you sum up the story
1:07:05
pretty well. I feel like, so I understand what's happening somehow, even
1:07:11
though it seems like you also not always understanding some really weird choices she makes,
1:07:16
for sure, But yeah, what were you seeing? Just that the
1:07:23
universe they had the idea of vampires, and then vampires come out of the
1:07:29
coffin, so to speak. And in that universe people know about vampires and
1:07:33
they are attempting to live their lives among human beings because now there is a
1:07:38
artificial synthetic blood that is made that they can survive on and be out in
1:07:45
public and you know, be part of like the society, regular societies,
1:07:50
depending on how those societies accept them. And it's just really interesting to see
1:07:57
in the story how she handles the myths of vampires versus the way the vampires
1:08:03
actually live, what they're actually sensitive to and all of that. Um,
1:08:11
yeah, I'm a big fan of that. So but okay, so so
1:08:15
he come, he has greeted. The word greet feels very generous, Yes,
1:08:23
with some hostility. Genuinely. I was a little bit like, everybody
1:08:29
be a little bit more polite. You're all very rude. Yes, he's
1:08:33
a guest well, and he's perfectly pleasant, like other than asking to see
1:08:40
their their panties. Yeah, okay fair. He also says at one point,
1:08:44
like, oh, this's a tough crowd, like he's in a comedy
1:08:46
club, you know, like I forget. He says that's pretty good.
1:08:54
Yes, um, And eventually he's like, how about we all go inside
1:08:58
and you make me earnest. It's like, see, I like this guy.
1:09:02
Um. He compliments Frankie on his ship building without I don't think he
1:09:09
like fully realizes he's complimenting Frankie when he says it. He's just saying,
1:09:13
like this ship is really cool. Yes, I also feel like he's just
1:09:16
in awe. Yeah, which I'm just going to ask you, do we
1:09:24
know or do you remember how long he was dead? Not dead, but
1:09:27
how long he has been Like Okay, I don't remember. So I'm also
1:09:31
not sure if if it's supposed so I'm not going to say anything. But
1:09:35
it's also not the big thing, but I'm just gonna say it was a
1:09:42
yeah, it wasn't like for human life, it's a long time. Yeah.
1:09:47
So, um, I feel like a thing like Frankie ship is like
1:09:53
I don't know, like when you only knew wooden boats and then like basically,
1:09:58
um, the Titanic show us up when you're like wow, okay,
1:10:01
yeah, there's a whole ice skating rank. Okay, Gus says, I
1:10:09
don't think it was mentioned in these episodes. All he said was decades.
1:10:13
I'm sorry, Sarah from said a bunch of stuff here that I missed.
1:10:16
USA just grabbed anything that seemed anti evil rather than specifically for any creature.
1:10:23
It's just like most of the stuff that I noticed, you know, there's
1:10:27
like a sign that's like anti evil, but he also has like the garlic
1:10:30
around his neck. He's holding out a crucifix. Well, it's not a
1:10:33
crucifix, it's across. So does Chopper Actually he, I guess had one
1:10:41
that he gave to Chopper an extra. But they wind up sitting around the
1:10:48
table in the kitchen, in the kitchen area, and he he makes so
1:10:58
many jokes about not having any eyeballs, about not having a stomach, talks
1:11:05
about like it being forever since he's had a proper meal, and eventually Lufy
1:11:13
says, so what are you? And everybody is like, you didn't even
1:11:15
ask him that before you invited him to be a member of the fucking crew.
1:11:21
And he finally explains, and he what I was like confused by he
1:11:30
had the revive revived fruit, and I'm thinking of it the wrong way initially,
1:11:38
and eventually he corrects me, and I'm like, oh, okay,
1:11:41
I was thinking of it like something that you used to save yourself when you're
1:11:45
dying, that you know that you're about to die and you eat it to
1:11:49
keep yourself alive. But what it really is is like an insurance policy and
1:11:58
you eat it ahead of time. That way, if anything ever were to
1:12:02
happen to you. You can get back up again. But it doesn't really
1:12:11
work the way that he thought it would work because the mystery, like the
1:12:18
devil fruits are always a gamble we talked about. Yeah, so his soul
1:12:25
instead of just staying, his soul leaves. Yeah, he like actually died.
1:12:31
Yeah, the whole process until like maybe a Heaven's gate or whatever like,
1:12:40
and they were like, okay, now you can turn around to go
1:12:43
back, right, Like what did I come here for? So we see
1:12:49
his soul looking for him, um, and it is this really funny,
1:13:00
kind of adorable little like gold cloud that it behaves like a caterpillar a little
1:13:06
bit, but it's like flying through the air. I don't like, like
1:13:13
a quick question, how would you like depict a soul? Like, I
1:13:17
mean, like my goal too is always like a floating orb of light and
1:13:21
that's so boring. M Like, I mean, but I also liked it
1:13:27
would get the point across, Like this cloud thing is also nice. But
1:13:31
I also every time feel like, okay, that's kind of like generic.
1:13:35
But I don't know how else would you portray it? You know? Yeah,
1:13:40
I mean you portray it as like a figure that looks like he did
1:13:44
when he was alive, but like pales. Yeah, but that's like more
1:13:48
ghost than a soul. Yeah, but I like the voice acting that is
1:13:55
like happening. I feel like he's talking and in the background, you always
1:13:59
feel like the soul like oh and like like really actually like whoa. And
1:14:09
by the way, again, props on them for the voice actor, because
1:14:14
Brooke screams a lot in these episodes and they're fantastic screams. Yeah, he
1:14:19
really does something with every single one of them, and yeah, great,
1:14:25
great rook. So eventually, like his spirit wanders for decades, so by
1:14:33
the because of the fog, so by the time he is reunited with it,
1:14:42
his entire body has rotted away and is gone and only his skeleton remains.
1:14:48
So it reunites with him and brings him back, but he doesn't actually
1:14:53
have any flesh left on his bones, which okay, all well and good,
1:15:00
But then the nami is he because he's talking about how like I think
1:15:08
he said something about how he isn't that scary, or that he's scared of
1:15:12
ghosts the same way they are, and she's like, you're way scarier.
1:15:15
Have you looked at yourself lately? Which I find route what she did here,
1:15:20
Like this is a route, right, right, I mean a part
1:15:26
of me gets it that probably like haven't looked in a mirror in a while,
1:15:30
although how do we know there might have been tons of mirrors on his
1:15:32
ship. Yeah, but still it's just like, I don't know if I
1:15:36
find somebody who was like, I don't know, castaway style, I'm not
1:15:41
going the first time he'll look at your arctic face. It's like no,
1:15:46
from a shower first and everything, and we would like come out his beautiful
1:15:53
afro. Yes, you know, are just very strong. I'm just yeah,
1:16:05
I I think, um, Brooke is maybe I'm gonna just say it.
1:16:14
I feel like he maybe is a little bit black coded. Um,
1:16:17
I'm just gonna say it because of the afro and the afro, I have
1:16:21
to think I haven't seen anything else yet. But that was my assumption.
1:16:29
Yeah, I mean honestly, it's basically the afro that I basically own.
1:16:32
Yeah, so, um, yeah, it is what it is, because
1:16:36
we could have like a discussion about Okay, so there's like a black character,
1:16:41
but he's not black because he's bones so right, but um, it's
1:16:46
fine, Um yeah, I'm all right with it. Yeah, I still
1:16:51
love him, and yeah, we don't see his reflection in the mirror.
1:16:57
Yeah, and this is like a very different thing than the Devil Fruit.
1:17:01
So now I'm like, well, wait what? And he tells them that
1:17:05
his shadow was stolen, but when they try and like get him to tell
1:17:11
them who stolen, he won't tell them because he feels like if he does,
1:17:18
they're going to attempt to go after this person who is absolutely out of
1:17:25
their league and gonna get themselves hurt, and they barely know him, and
1:17:30
besides, he kind of wants to take care of it himself. Is also
1:17:34
like the vibe, but we don't care like detail about how his shadow was
1:17:41
stolen, No any ideas or like do you feel like this is maybe somebody
1:17:48
that we know or do you feel like that somebody we haven't heard of.
1:17:51
The only thing I could think was Blackbeard, because he's able to pull things
1:17:58
into the black hole kind of thing. But I don't know if you know
1:18:05
this this. I sort of asked this question last episode, whether things are
1:18:11
still are able to be held anywhere? If that were him, the shadow
1:18:15
would be just gone now forever. And I don't see him taking a shadow
1:18:19
without taking his bones as well. It would just I don't I don't know.
1:18:25
I'm not that that's impossible, but it just doesn't seem like that's how
1:18:28
his power tends to work. Um yeah, I don't know. I feel
1:18:36
like there's something that we saw that was shadow related and I can't remember what
1:18:41
it was. Well, i mean Blackbefu's power is like dark dark power or
1:18:47
doc doc fruit. Yeah, maybe that's all I'm thinking of. I don't
1:18:54
remember what what Lufy's father's power was because he does something. Yeah, we
1:19:01
don't. I mean it's not named um so we do. It's sort of
1:19:05
like a green fog. Yeah, it's more like a wind. It was
1:19:10
like more gus. Okay, that cha, And yeah, I don't think
1:19:15
like we get anything else with ship, So this is something definitely new and
1:19:21
interesting. And Brooke cannot go into the sunlight, so he really liked this.
1:19:29
Is like he's actually kind of like a vampire in that regard, And
1:19:36
yeah, it's kind of like this is like the moment where he's like,
1:19:41
yeah, all my friends are dead and I'm a skeleton and cannot go into
1:19:45
light. But I'm happy. I'm so happy, And I don't know,
1:19:49
of course it can be like, I don't know, I don't what's the
1:19:54
world like toxic positivity? Yeah, but at the other hand, it's you
1:20:00
know, when somebody can still smile, it formost my heart in a way,
1:20:05
you know. Yeah, it's a fine line. Yeah, of course
1:20:10
it is a fine line. And I feel like does a great job because
1:20:15
yeah, I don't feel like this is toxic. I feel like, yeah,
1:20:18
the way I'm sort of reading it in the scene is that it's coming
1:20:23
from a place of excitement of having seen them, yes, you know,
1:20:27
like which makes a lot of sense after not having seen people for like a
1:20:30
hundred years. It sounds like I'm really again, I'm sorry you guys.
1:20:35
The voice actors are good, like when he says like how lonely he was
1:20:41
and wanted to die every day. Yeah, like rip my heart into pieces,
1:20:46
man, Like, come on, I I'm not saying that. Oh
1:20:54
no, I'm going to ask you this now. Do you will you join?
1:20:59
What will? I don't know, because like it they have to get
1:21:05
his shadow in order for him to join, Like there's no way they you
1:21:10
know, declines sloofy, And it's like withold my shadow, I cannot come
1:21:15
and and I don't know what this thing, because at the end of the
1:21:21
episode there's this weird noise and when they go out on the deck of the
1:21:29
ship, there is what it looks like they're on the inside of somebody's mouth
1:21:34
or right in front of their teeth, but it looks more like they're on
1:21:36
the inside, I don't know, and the mouth is closed and they can't
1:21:43
get out, like there's closed teeth and lips. And then he goes to
1:21:46
the other side of the ship and it's like, guys, come and look
1:21:48
at this, and we see this island. Tell me again what the name
1:21:55
of it is? Thriller Bark. Thriller Bark, which is just a weird
1:22:02
name, you guys. I don't get what the convention is that Oda uses
1:22:09
for naming places. But and his lobby is all like that one I felt
1:22:18
really strongly was super strange. And water seven was also pretty weird. But
1:22:27
thriller Bark, it's like he's just mad living words together like that doesn't even
1:22:34
you know, I don't. I don't get it at all. At least
1:22:38
lobby is a place, even though it's usually a room, you know,
1:22:43
it's not a building. But bark like the bark of a tree. I
1:22:53
mean, way people, is it this is written like I feel like b
1:23:01
A R K. Yes, I'm not sure. I mean you okay,
1:23:10
No, First I want want you to answer the question do you think he
1:23:14
will join? Will Brook join? Um? Do you want him? I
1:23:19
want him to join? Do I think he will join? I think so?
1:23:27
He doesn't have anywhere else to go. It's really like, you know,
1:23:30
that's that's where it comes down to for me with him. But Frankie
1:23:32
had place to go and he's still joined. Um. But yeah, I
1:23:36
just don't really like if he doesn't have other options other than going back to
1:23:43
being like completely alone, why wouldn't he join. It's really down to everybody
1:23:48
else if they'll like let him join. So I guess he has to sort
1:23:54
of prove that he brings something to the team. M hm. And I
1:24:00
mean he brings something that was at least Lucy was looking for from pretty much
1:24:05
right at the very beginning. He he's a musician. Apparently allegedly we don't
1:24:14
get to hear him play, and I'm real concerned about that because he's building
1:24:19
this up and then he stops because he sees a ghost and freaks out,
1:24:23
and I'm like, what if it turns out that he actually that doesn't know
1:24:27
how to player is really bad, and so much time has passed that he's
1:24:30
completely lost all frame of reference for if he's any good or not. On
1:24:34
the other hand, he's had like forever to practice, so maybe he's amazing.
1:24:41
I also, I just for just right just have to say, if
1:24:46
he does turn out to be a good musician and we don't get him playing
1:24:54
his own ribs as a xylophone, I am going to be hugely disappointed.
1:25:00
We have that that's like a requirement data. Okay, you will be disappointed
1:25:08
in order if this does not happen, very very disappointed. So I just
1:25:13
wanted to say that right out of the gate. Yes, um, And
1:25:18
in the what's it called? Yeah, I wanted to ask you it's fla
1:25:26
bark. What do you feel like it's going to no, you said the
1:25:30
Naving convention. What do you feel like this is going to happen now,
1:25:33
not happening, what it's going to look like? That's what I'm trying to
1:25:38
ask. Sorry, I don't know because like from the from the oh I
1:25:46
did see I saw it too, I saw a spoiler. Um it was
1:25:56
yeah, Sorry, guys, I saw it already. It's too late.
1:26:00
Uh. Saraphim is explaining that bark can be spelled a different way, and
1:26:05
that did occur to me, But I thought that this was solid land.
1:26:09
So it looks like maybe it's not um because it's trying to push the chat
1:26:15
up. It's too late, guys. Actually I saw it too. I
1:26:18
tried not to engage with it. Um. Well, it's not a big
1:26:26
but basically I'm still I'm still interested. Like I'm not going to push you
1:26:32
too much into a direction, but think about the name and maybe like some
1:26:38
themes that we have seen in these two episodes, Yeah, the fact that
1:26:42
his named thriller. I'm like, is this going to be like a because
1:26:45
it looks like a graveyard from far away, there's like a gate or something.
1:26:50
I couldn't I can't even really remember. I'm going to try and see
1:26:54
from the the show playing in front of me right now. But it like
1:27:00
that was part of why when he says bark, I thought he said marsh
1:27:05
because that felt like it made a lot more sense to me than the word
1:27:10
bark, frankly, and it looked like a mishmash of totally like I don't
1:27:19
want to say, like rotting stuff, because that's not exactly right, but
1:27:24
it's all very sort of gray and broken down and like a ruin. So
1:27:34
yeah, and there's like this extremely long chain that's going up around a wheel,
1:27:43
and there's also a sort of wheel shape in the front of what looks
1:27:46
like a church, so there's a wheel theme going on here, but it's
1:27:57
uh, I don't know how the chain factors in or if it's attached to
1:28:03
anything. And he calls it a trap, like the thing with the signal
1:28:13
flare. Yeah, and he's like acting like this is part of that trap,
1:28:19
and I have no idea how that would work, like how they would
1:28:24
be part of the same thing. So I don't know. This is just
1:28:31
like a quick moment that I really like. It's like we got this pail.
1:28:35
It has an impact, like it's like an impact moment, but then
1:28:40
we kind of forget about it, and then the next episode comes around and
1:28:44
you're so caught up in Brooked. Then when it comes back around at the
1:28:46
end, it's like, oh, yeah, there was a moment where we
1:28:49
were concerned and then you show so it was like, yeah, I kind
1:28:56
of have started to think that the thing was set by Brook and that the
1:29:00
flare was if like, I haven't seen people in so long that maybe if
1:29:05
I put this out there and somebody uses it, then I'll know that there
1:29:09
are people around and I can find my way toward them. But yeah,
1:29:14
then when he starts to be like, wait, there's something else going on,
1:29:15
I was like, oh shit, I kind of thought I had figured
1:29:18
out what that was. I guess not mhm. So yeah, I'm just
1:29:29
excited. Yeah, I cannot. I cannot. I can hide it.
1:29:35
It is. It is like I don't know, like even if you,
1:29:39
oh, now I remembered something I wanted to mention in the beginning. Oh,
1:29:46
I don't know if last time or sometime you said maybe there's going to
1:29:51
come a time in One Piece where we need to haven't want to be to
1:29:56
hold your hand if the entire series hold your hand because something bad happens,
1:30:03
Oh okay, like something not enjoyable where you're like, people, what are
1:30:09
you making me watch this? Why you? And if there is an episode
1:30:15
then it will be in this arc. So yeah, this ark, as
1:30:20
I said, my favorite, some people don't like it. Nothing happens,
1:30:27
something problematic happens, and it's like a whole bunch of things all much together.
1:30:35
But yeah, I love it. I love it. Well you heard
1:30:41
it here first, folks. I'm sorry, guys, and I'm so interested
1:30:45
in what you have to say, like truly, if you have a problem
1:30:49
or if you hate it, just please scream it out. I would love
1:30:54
to hear your opinions about everything, like don't hold back, be yourself,
1:31:00
and yeah, do what you do. Yeah. I love when people tell
1:31:05
me not to hold back, because kiddos, I rarely do. But when
1:31:10
I'm specifically told I don't have to, Oh, that's even better, delightful.
1:31:16
Well, I guess we'll see. I feel like I kind of build
1:31:20
it all up and now it's all going Pete rule. No, nah,
1:31:26
I'll forget it. I'll push it out of my mind. No, even
1:31:29
if, like I feel like one piece is so unique and unpredictable and it
1:31:35
does what it does, it definitely is unpredictable for sure. Um all right,
1:31:42
Well, is there anything else you want to mention before we wrap up?
1:31:45
Um? No, Well, thank you for having me, and I
1:31:48
