This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me, covering One Piece
0:12
episodes four twenty four and four twenty five break Through, the Crimson Hell,
0:18
Buggies, Chaos Inducing Plan, and the Strongest Man in Prison. Poison Man
0:26
Magellan appears in these episodes. I am so glad to be hanging out with
0:33
Buggy again. I forgot what a goon this dude is, and also the
0:38
poison Man. I sh the poison Man's a mess y'all. Welcome to spoil
0:50
Me. Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you very
1:12
much to Gabby for commissioning this episode. I just want to remind everybody that
1:22
next week I begin coverage of the one piece live action. No no no,
1:27
I said next week, I lie next recording session, which is Thursday.
1:36
So just so you guys all know that shit is going to be a
1:42
regular like one piece animated episode recording followed by a live action recording. It
1:51
is going to be a lot of one Piece for a while until I finished
1:57
that season, and it is. I'm really fascinated to see what it's like
2:04
to watch both the animated and the live action and cover both at the same
2:10
time. Because guys. There are times where I realize how much this show
2:19
has gotten in my head, like in terms of the way that it'll manifest
2:29
in like dreams and stuff like that. And when I'm covering something with this
2:35
level of uniqueness, I guess something that is so extremely I'm trying to think
2:46
of the word here, distinctive. I think that's what I want. When
2:53
I'm covering something this distinctive and I go into like a real heavy coverage mode,
3:02
it can really infiltrate my brain in a way that I don't understand is
3:12
happening at the time. It's not until later that I'm kind of like wow.
3:15
And this sort of happened with covering the Haunting of Hill House. I
3:21
was covering one episode a recording session, but I was also doing live watches
3:25
on my you know, because I was so spooked by the show. I
3:30
didn't want to watch by myself. I couldn't handle it. So that show
3:38
definitely began to sort of like warm its way into my head. So anyway,
3:46
I really am excited about starting the live action. I have a couple
3:51
of friends who are either not fans of the animated or sort of lukewarm fans
3:59
who both said that the live action was great, so I'm excited. Okay,
4:09
this is what a weird. So first, the chaos inducing plan,
4:18
which I have to confess, is actually a pretty good idea. What Buggy
4:26
does initially is he he decides that he's going to let a bunch of prisoners
4:34
out, and frankly, I'm here for it, like this is not it's
4:41
not I'm saying it's part of his plan, which it's really giving him some
4:46
credit for something that is sort of accidental. But I enjoy that he has
4:57
clearly quickly seen the advantage to getting these guys to be his supporters, and
5:04
you know, considering that his crew has sort of turned their backs on him,
5:10
there's a part of me that's just sort of like, well, this
5:12
might be nice. Then Buggy will have a crew again, because I know
5:15
he's going to be devastated when he finds out that these dudes did not have
5:19
his back the way he was sort of expecting. I don't know why I
5:24
should be rooting for Buggy, but I just can't help myself. He is
5:27
such a he's such a disaster, you know what I'm saying. Anyway,
5:32
I really have to back up and start at the beginning. Apologies if my
5:36
voice sounds weird. Guys, I've been crying because we found Sam a home
5:42
and it's great news, but I'm also like going to miss him so much
5:45
and it just keeps coming over me at times that I'm not expecting. So
5:50
apologies for my uh my, sad, sad voice. All Right, so
6:00
this starts off. We're still in the midst of the attempt to escape Buggy,
6:08
and well, Buggy's attempt to escape Lufy's attempt to find ace, and
6:16
I really love seeing, in comparison to Buggy how much stronger Lufy has become.
6:26
I keep imagining that his old rivals are going to have leveled up also,
6:34
and it turns out that in many cases they have not, and so
6:41
running across them again, I'm thinking that maybe they're a match for Loofy.
6:47
And while they may be a match simply because Lufy is not being as cautious
6:54
as he should be due to his open and honest heart, I mean,
6:59
the the expression when Buggy realizes that Lufy has taken down a bunch of these
7:05
weird monsters by himself was pretty hilarious. But anyway, I am, I'm
7:17
trying to like figure out exactly where to start with these two, because there
7:23
is a couple of different things that are going on simultaneously. So that bracelet
7:30
on Lufy's arm that has it's a weird looking thing that I had mentioned at
7:36
one point because I didn't recall that Nami gave it to him out of like
7:42
the treasure and he put it on his arm, and so I had forgotten
7:46
about it, and everybody had to explain to me, like remind me what
7:50
it was. And I should have like realized that something that significant a change
7:57
to like our main character's costume, when their costumes don't change often or in
8:05
ways that are that significant, Like our guys will be wearing a different color
8:11
shirt than last time, especially the guys. The girls have a bigger change
8:16
in wardrobe that's much more dramatic depending you know, sometimes Nami will be in
8:24
shorts or a skirt, sometimes a dress, like it really varies more.
8:28
But like say, let's take Frankie and his signature thing being that he's in
8:33
a speedo. If all of a sudden he was in shorts, that would
8:37
be like, wait, oh, that's a pretty big change. You know.
8:41
Solofy having this like arm bracelet that he's never had before. You know,
8:48
I'm willing to take it just as like, oh, this is a
8:50
symbol of friendship because Namy gave it to me. But there was a part
8:54
of me that was kind of like not thinking through that likely this was to
9:00
wind up becoming a thing later. I think that my expectation was going to
9:05
be that maybe somebody would try and steal it from him, and because it
9:09
was a gift from Nomy, he would take extra offense to it. But
9:11
I don't think I would ever have guessed that the bracelet itself was important.
9:18
So they're in the midst of fighting these I can't remember what they're called.
9:24
I keep wanting to say bugogie, but that's like a type of it's a
9:28
type of food. I don't even remember what it is, blue gory.
9:33
Okay. So we have Buggy raising one of them into the air and spinning
9:39
him like a top as he collapses down. And I had forgotten that that
9:46
aspect of his powers, that he could just sort of like lift you extremely
9:50
high into the air because his hands are not attached to his body, so
9:54
whether he can levitate does not matter. Now Buggy does this, he feeling
10:00
very confident about the fact that he has taken this thing down. It raises
10:05
its head and begins to get up again, and you can see how stunned
10:09
he is that he didn't take this thing out. He begins to run away
10:13
from it, but then Buggy turns around and sees Loofy punching it out with
10:18
a single punch, and he says, you got a lot stronger, didn't
10:24
you, kid, to which Loufy says, I don't know. These things
10:30
are pretty tough, what are they? And I wanted to be like pretty
10:33
tough, my guy. We just saw you literally level one in a single
10:41
punch. Look, Loofy is not somebody who tends towards humility. I'm not
10:50
saying he's conceited, but humility requires a type of tact and self consciousness that
10:58
Lufy just doesn't have. So it was saying, I don't know. I
11:03
was kind of like, that's weird. You should know. Oh, blue
11:09
gory for blue gorillas. Okay. So this is when Buggy says, it's
11:18
no problem, we could take on the rest of them, and then he
11:22
turns and sees all the other ones that Lufy has laid out and says,
11:26
well, never mind, I guess you got to them already. Lufy says,
11:33
well, I really hope that's the last of them, because I don't
11:35
have time to mess around. And it's a mark of I think how focused
11:43
Lufy is about getting Ace out of jail that as he goes along, there's
11:50
no moments of consideration like, oh, should I let all of these prisoners
11:54
out or not? It's not even entering his mind. I want to say
12:03
for the record, as much as I am in life an abolished prisons type
12:13
person, and I say that with an asterisk, that there are times where
12:18
I feel like jail is the only solution for certain people, but by and
12:26
large, it isn't the best choice for most criminals that we have in our
12:33
system currently. A lot of people like to try it out, be like,
12:35
well, what about rapists whenever there's you know, and the thing would
12:41
really what it comes down to is rapists don't go to jail like that just
12:43
doesn't happen often. So you're dealing with like a lot of non violent offenders
12:50
oftentimes. And I want to just say that and be clear about it.
12:54
Our justice system is also so deeply corrupt that a lot of the people in
12:58
jail jail, I gnuinely do not deserve to be there. And all that
13:03
said, I don't just want Loofy to willy nilly start letting prisoners out,
13:11
because a lot of these people are truly terrible people, Like mister three is
13:18
awful. We run into him later, was not expecting to see his ass
13:20
again. I don't know if I remember the last time we saw him,
13:26
whether or not it seemed like he was still alive, so I can't like
13:33
I didn't expect to see him again, But I can't remember a specific thought
13:37
of, oh, well, he's dead, so we'll never see him again.
13:41
I don't know if it was that distinct, But yes, I'm sure
13:48
a lot of these guys are genuinely like bad people. But also we know
13:54
the world government is so deeply corrupt that I can't help but think, well,
14:00
there's also that where we know Robin was about to be thrown in here
14:03
for reasons that were completely unjust. And also they're straight up torturing people for
14:11
funsies. So to that extent, it's not just a jail, it's it's
14:16
also you're just handing people over to be tortured until they die, which is
14:24
its own like ethical mire, you know. Anyway, all that to say,
14:31
I had thought Lufy would be a little bit more interested in letting everybody
14:37
out along the way, or like at least thinking about it, like listening
14:43
to the arguments of people, and he isn't. It's really Buggy is the
14:48
one that's sort of like weighing the pros and cons of what actually interfering in
14:52
these other prisoners' lives, what that could do for him. So anyway,
15:03
once Buggy realizes that Loofy is here to save Ace, he kind of freaks
15:11
out. And it turns out he actually knows Ace. Ace appeared on the
15:18
deck of his ship and it was sort of an out of nowhere thing.
15:24
We get a flashback here of you know, the ship and all of them
15:28
laughing and joking around. Buggy's wearing this like really distinct green makeup that I
15:33
hate so much. This green. It's not a look. I do not
15:39
like this one little bit. But anyway, they are dancing and celebrating on
15:48
the ship here and we get I can't remember her name. I always forget
15:54
her name and want to say like Arima, but I know that that is
15:58
not it or anee A Tira. I always like, lose it, guys.
16:03
But she is over here saying, is this really the time to celebrate
16:07
when you don't have any idea where they are? Alvida, that's what it
16:11
is. And he says, don't be such a party pooper. We'll find
16:17
Lufy when we find him, so just calm down. And then Ace jumps
16:22
in and says, if you're looking for Lufy, I can tell you where
16:25
he is. And Buggy, without missing a beat, it's like, see,
16:30
there you go. This fellow can lead us straight to him at any
16:33
time. And then all of a sudden stops and he's like, wait a
16:37
minute, who the hell are you? Doesn't seem to have noticed Ace's presence,
16:44
and it doesn't. I don't know how long Ace has actually been there,
16:47
you know, And he says, sorry for crashing your party. The
16:51
name's Ace, as you might guess, I was drawn here by the delicious
16:55
aroma of your feast. Thanks for feeding me. Buggy gets all bashful and
17:03
sort of like sheepish. No need to be polite. We're all friends here.
17:07
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance friend. But as he's saying this,
17:12
Ace has like seated himself and started eating again, which seems to have
17:15
irritated Buggy, and he says, just because you introduce yourself doesn't mean you
17:19
get to eat my food, my ship, my banquet, my rules.
17:26
Everybody else apparently has recognized who Ace is, that he's from Whitebeard's crew,
17:32
that he's Firefist, that he's a big fucking deal, and are basically like,
17:37
hey, Buggy, you may want to lay off because this guy is
17:41
nobody to fuck with. And Ace just starts to say, like, oh
17:45
yeah, that's uh, you know, that is the person that I work
17:51
for, and then he like passes out asleep, and that is the end
17:56
of the flashback, is him just asleep with his mouthful food. It's always
18:02
so weird how the members of Lufy's family all seem to have that like falling
18:07
asleep mid sentence thing in common. It's just a very strange trait. So
18:17
this is when Lufy says, I'm trying to get to level five? Can
18:22
you show me how to get there? And Bubby says, no way,
18:29
you can find your own way down. Do you think I'm your friend now?
18:33
In fact, you can die down there for all I care, and
18:41
he starts to walk away with by the way, this enormous axe on his
18:45
back. When I say enormous, that ax is the size of like a
18:48
twin bed. And he is walking out, and he says something like he
18:57
starts to sort of realize because Lufy says, there's ten battleships out there,
19:06
so if you're thinking you're just gonna like stroll on out, that's not gonna
19:10
happen. And Buggy is like, oh, I bet because they're about to
19:17
execute Ace. That white Beard has a bunch of ships coming for him and
19:22
they're probably expecting an attack on him. This is a really bad time to
19:26
try and bust out. I guess maybe I should just lay low, and
19:32
Loofy is just like, all right, well, I'll look at talk to
19:36
these other prisoners and see if there's anybody else who could help me. And
19:42
then we see Buggy get this real weird look on his face and he zeros
19:48
in on the arm bracelet. He calls it later an armlet, which to
19:56
me just sounds like a very tiny arm I'm sure armlet is correct, Like
20:03
you know, it doesn't sound right to me, but anyway, he zeros
20:11
in on this. Lufy is about to say, all right, cool,
20:15
I gotta get moving, and all of a sudden, Buggy jumps on him
20:19
and is like, wait, never mind, don't go, and he makes
20:26
a deal. He's telling him that arm bracelet has really loved you. Do
20:33
you think you could give it to me pretty please? If you give it
20:37
to me, I'll tell you how to find ace, And Lufy says,
20:44
all right, you've got a deal. I thought this was surprising though,
20:49
because Buggy tells him, yeah, just fork it over, kiddo, and
20:56
Lufy doesn't say not until after you've led me through. He doesn't make that
21:03
demand. And yet after having just said fork it over, kiddo, Buggy
21:14
jumps up into the air and like leaves his feet behind and tells Loofy to
21:18
grab onto his feet. So it's a weird thing where it sounds like he's
21:25
going to try and rip Loufy off and you know, pretend he'll help,
21:30
but just take the bracelet and go. And then after trying to do that
21:36
and there being no perceivable pushback from Lufy at all, he completely abandons that
21:41
plan and begins to lead Lufy after all. So I was just a little
21:47
confused why they even have it. In the dialogue that he says to like
21:52
fork it over, because if you do have that, then you should have
21:56
Lufy saying not until or else. Just don't have Buggy say it. You
22:02
know. It was a weird moment where he like makes it seem like it's
22:04
going to be a thing, and then he lets it go almost immediately.
22:11
Then we get a moment that I actually really enjoy and sort of wish we
22:15
had more of in this series. Buggy is telling Lufy to be careful with
22:21
his feet, don't drop them, and then we get a like still frame
22:27
as it moves out of the way, and the announcer saying, let's review
22:32
how Buggy's chop chop powers work, shall we? When he chop chops his
22:36
body into pieces, he can control each part however he likes, but only
22:40
within a limited area, and if his feet aren't close to the ground,
22:45
he becomes unable to levitate the rest of his body, which is news to
22:52
me. I am extremely curious if this is an established from the start,
23:00
or if this is being told like thrown into the pot at this point in
23:06
order to establish some of the things that happen later. And I can't,
23:12
you know, like anybody who is the chat is completely empty again, which
23:18
I have to assume that part of this is due to the fact that I
23:22
have changed the room that I'm recording in due to the movement of crowdcast to
23:27
version two. But if there is anybody there listening who can tell me whether
23:34
or not this was canon in the first place or if this is a I
23:41
hesitate to call it retcon, because that only refers to making something happen.
23:45
Making something that has already happened makes sense, like, after all, even
23:49
though it didn't seem to make sense at the time, And that's not really
23:53
what this is. I'm just wondering if it's like a completely new rule that
24:00
is being established. Oh, Gus is here, Hi Gus. Gus says,
24:04
the only thing that was shown in the early episodes is that his feet
24:07
can't fly like his other parts can. Okay, I accept then that this
24:15
rule was established from the start, but they felt the need to remind us
24:21
of it because it's been a while since we have seen him, and also
24:25
evidently it wasn't explicitly said in the first place, so they wanted to like
24:29
let us know exactly how that mechanism sort of functions with his power. Okay,
24:37
for the record, I wouldn't have been mad if they just made up
24:40
this new rule. I really wouldn't, but I was just curious about it.
24:45
So Buggy is running along congratulating himself on this great deal that he's got
24:51
when he is about to get this bracelet from Loofy, and we get another
24:56
flashback. He was on an island, and the island had like a big
25:03
mountain that was sort of skull shaped in the center of it, which I
25:06
enjoyed the aesthetic of a lot. And he's underground, like going through the
25:12
different tunnels, and he's with Moji, who was saying, are you sure
25:17
this is the cave where Captain John kept his treasure and the crew he left
25:21
behind never found it. The whole time, this seems a bit too easy,
25:26
and Buggy is telling him just to shut up and keep walking. Look
25:30
alive, boys, The treasure is near, but so is unspeakable danger.
25:34
If you let your guard down even for a second, death will creep up
25:38
on you. There's no telling what kind of monsters will appear, or vicious
25:42
booby traps a wait to kill us all. And then all of a sudden
25:49
they hear these miners coming up behind them. Another lovely day of carving the
25:56
tunnels, and they're walking in here a jaunty step and a good attitude as
26:03
if this place is just you know, their own living room. While these
26:07
dudes are acting like everything is so they're basically acting like this is completely uncharted
26:14
territory. Meanwhile, there are all these like electric lights strung up on the
26:18
walls. They've got their one little lantern. It is a pretty good joke.
26:22
So for a second the guy says who's in charge of all of the
26:29
miners, It's like, oh, hey, you must be the new guys,
26:32
and we get Buggy just chopping up rocks with a pick axe and talking
26:38
about how this is all a man needs, is you know, a pick
26:42
axe in his hands, because it's liberating. After all this labor, we
26:45
ought to head over to the old Bilge barge for it. And then all
26:51
of a sudden he yells, how dare you make me work like one of
26:53
your lackeys. And this is I think at least the second, if not
27:03
the third, time that we have had Buggy somehow get like roped into being
27:08
a regular worker or helper. And I do really enjoy this recurring joke that
27:15
actually, if Buggy were to just let himself be a fucking normal person.
27:22
He could probably be happy with very little, Like there is a streak in
27:30
him that seems almost to run counter to the rest of his character. That
27:36
it's like this toxic ego that overrides an instinctive urge to get along with people
27:47
and actually make friends and do regular work. And then this voice comes in
27:52
whispering to him that he needs to like put people in their place and be
27:56
the best and I am. So it's sort of tragic, you know,
28:03
Like he could probably have a life he's very satisfied with without having to look
28:08
too far for it. He seems like the kind of guy that if he
28:11
managed to get over that part of himself, he could be happy almost anywhere.
28:15
But he keeps ending up in these scrapes and now he's in prison,
28:19
you know. And apparently he says like we went all over the Grand Line
28:26
looking for that treasure, As if that wasn't crappy enough. My ill fated
28:30
treasure hunts brought me straight to a Navy post one day, and the bastards
28:33
threw me in this dump when they captured me. But maybe it was destiny
28:40
all along, guiding me to captain John's treasure. So he says, Captain
28:45
John, you know in the tunnel end here, and I was like,
28:48
oh, okay, So I was thinking it was gonna be like Goldie Rogers
28:52
Treasure, but no, it's a whole different thing. And at this point
29:00
he explains to Loofy, this place is like an upside down tower. We're
29:06
at level one, but we have to go down through two to five,
29:10
and the deeper you get, the more infamous the criminals are. It's really
29:14
funny though. As he's saying this, we get an animation of the upside
29:18
down tower. Everything is labeled one, two, three, four, five,
29:23
except for the final layer, which would be six, except it just
29:26
has a question mark. And I find it really funny that, like it
29:30
doesn't say six even though it is six. Like everything's just numbered according to
29:36
where it falls. Do you know what I'm saying? So, I don't
29:38
know what it means that it's just a question mark. So let's see.
29:47
David says, Also, Captain Bill is mentioned again. I don't remember when
29:52
he's mentioned. Sorry, David Gus says, Captain John's corpse was one of
29:56
the general zombies on thriller Bar so that's where the armbank came from. Oh
30:03
that's fun, okay, So yeah, he says, I haven't gone to
30:11
level five. Everything I know about it is just what I've heard from other
30:15
people. But that's where they put all the highest level prisoners, and with
30:19
a bounty as big as your brothers was. That's I'm sure that's where he
30:23
was put. He says, I've heard some rumors about five, but the
30:29
theory is the criminals they send down there are so dangerous they've been completely wiped
30:33
from history. There's a good chance that's where they took your brother. But
30:37
the furthest I can take you is level four, so you're on your own
30:41
after that. And Lufi says, thanks, Buggy, I thought you were
30:47
a real jerk, but I guess I was wrong. And Buggy says,
30:53
well, if that armlet leads me to Captain John's treasure, I'm getting a
30:57
real bargain, kid, and then claps his hands over his mouth as he
31:03
realizes what he just said. Loofy continues to converse as if he didn't say
31:08
this. So for a second, Buggy is like, oh cool, he
31:11
wasn't even fucking listening to me. I can't believe I just blurted that out,
31:15
but it seems like it's fine. I'm glad he's so dumb. But
31:21
then Lufy is like, wow, so a treasure map on this armband?
31:25
Huh? I had no idea. I guess that'll be really fun. And
31:30
then we see Buggy's face get really like manic for a second, and he's
31:38
like, well, sorry, kid, if you know the truth, I'll
31:42
have to kill you, and he pulls his axe out and he turns around
31:48
ready to attack Loofy fully like prepared to do it. And when he comes
31:55
face to face with Loofy, Lufy's got his hand out with the armband in
32:00
his hand, saying you better take this now in case I forget later,
32:06
and Bucky is like, what the fuck, dude, I just told you
32:09
there's a treasure map in it, and you're just gonna fucking hand it over,
32:15
to which Loofy says, Treasure's cool and all, but ace is way
32:20
more important, and Buggy says, but if you give it to me now,
32:24
what's to stop me from running off with it and leaving you here to
32:28
die? And Lufy says nothing, I guess, but you gave your word
32:34
you would help me, and that's good enough for me, and we get
32:40
after that moment a sequence of it's like a monologue. This shit had me
32:49
laughing so hard, you guys, I was cracking up. There are just
32:54
there are some things in this show that I could say are objectively funnier than
33:00
things, and then there are things like this where I'm like, I feel
33:02
like this isn't as funny as it seemed to me at the time. I
33:08
do not know what got me so hard about that. So first of all,
33:19
the image is a buggy crying and snotting, but also with like sparkles
33:24
floating around him to indicate like he's crying, but in a good way,
33:30
like a touched and happy way, those trusting eyes boring into my soul.
33:37
I'm a scoundrel, straw hat, can't you see, don't do it.
33:42
You deserve better than this. I'm no good for you. And there's something
33:47
about this that felt so like fuck boy telling a girl to stay away from
33:53
him that I it just really got to be like almost had Edward Cullen vibes
34:02
a little bit. I just cackled so hard. That got me, It
34:08
really did. So he does take it, and he has a moment here
34:17
of like all right, Well, I appreciate that he thinks like you know
34:22
that he's so sweet and thinks so well, But immediately after getting it in
34:28
his hand, it's just like, all right, how do I ditch you
34:31
and get the hell out of here? And I just wanted to be like,
34:37
Bucky, you just found out that there are a bunch of battleships out
34:45
there and you can't leave. What else have you got to do? You're
34:49
talking about trying to lay low get out of here, like stick with straw
34:53
hat. Your best bet, honestly is to stick with him, because you
35:00
can't even fight off the blue gorillas, So you know, just maybe like,
35:07
don't give into your instinct immediately to do your own thing, because it's
35:12
actually a bad idea right now. So as he's thinking about that, he
35:16
bashes into a wall like by accident, and Loofy thinks he's trying to take
35:22
a short cut through the wall, and he's like, oh, I can
35:25
do that, and punches right through it and they bust right into the midst
35:31
of a bunch of navy guys. And it's a real moment. I enjoy
35:38
Buggy just yelling at him like what the hell is wrong with you just anytime
35:46
that Buggy is the one that seems to be acting the most reasonably, it's
35:51
always a real sign, you know. So this is when we cut over
35:58
to Boa Hancock, who is still being led on this weird tour, and
36:06
this also got me laughing pretty hard. So she's thinking to herself about how
36:10
she hopes Lufy is safe, that she told him to stay out of trouble,
36:14
but you know, he's gonna do what he's gonna do, and probably
36:16
that was words that just fell on deaf ears and he's thinking about she's thinking
36:22
about like all of the things that could happen to him if he were caught.
36:27
And as she's daydreaming here, I love this so much, she's like
36:32
thinking like, uh, you know, I want you to take care of
36:37
yourself and imagines Lufy taking her hand, and then her thoughts get interrupted by
36:45
somebody trying to get her attention, and it's Hannibal, and we hear like
36:52
the screaming of a prisoner, and Hannibal says, Whoo, that was a
36:58
good one, wasn't it. You guys. The whole vibe of Hannibal treating
37:13
everybody's like pain and horror, like he's bringing them to a circus. You
37:20
know, this is like some kind of entertainment event is so hilarious, Like
37:25
it's really I think it's the voice actor that's really taking it to the next
37:30
level for me. But yeah, saying like, oh, that was a
37:34
good one, wasn't it, And then do you hear that empress Well,
37:39
not to worry, my lady, there are plenty more blood curdling screams where
37:43
those came from. If you don't have a taste for sadism yet, we'll
37:46
do our darndest to change your mind before this little visit has come to an
37:51
end. And that really really is such a funny line if you don't have
37:58
a taste for sadism yet. So then she says, silence you a cursed
38:06
fool, and like kicks him on the ground and is stepping on him,
38:09
and of course my instinctive like response here is the thing that, you know,
38:21
the thing the kids say these days when somebody hot, especially a an
38:25
older like often taller, more imposing woman, when she is like hot and
38:35
really getting to people with her vibe, the kids say, step on me,
38:40
you know, oftentimes step on me, mommy, step on me mother,
38:44
or whatever. So as soon as she steps on him, I'm just
38:47
like this, this feels very kinky, but I didn't think they'd address it.
38:52
And then almost immediately Hannibal is just like, huh, actually this is
38:59
kind of hot. And later on when we meet the poison Man, he
39:06
has the exact same response, and I was like, oh, I thought
39:08
that was going to remain subtexts. Not so it is text. It is
39:14
just the text. So anyway, that's what's going on with Boa Hancock.
39:20
We go back to Loofy and Buggy as Buggy is like busting through the wall
39:24
to the surprise of all of these dudes around them. And at this point
39:31
Buggy is like just being carried by Loofy, who's sort of using him as
39:37
a human shield, and they wind up in this weird place that's like a
39:42
forest, and as they're falling, Buggy is describing that everything here is like
39:51
red. He says, this forest is a torture chamber. Every leaf is
39:57
as sharp as a razor. That's why they all them blade trees. And
40:01
the grass is made of spikes that pricky like needles. It's called spike needle
40:06
grass. Original I know. The jailers release venomous spiders and chase the prisoners
40:12
up and down the forest all day long, deadly pitchforks behind them, piercing
40:16
needles beneath them, and cutting razors everywhere else. They run until they're drenched
40:22
in their own blood, suffering agonies they never thought possible. This is Level
40:29
one, otherwise known as the Crimson Hell. That is too creative. We
40:37
don't need to be doing this. That's too much. That's too much.
40:44
So anyway, Lufy is like, aren't we gonna get cut if we land
40:51
like that? And Buggy says, watch this, listen up, take my
40:55
feet and throw them down on the ground right below us. And he's like,
41:00
okay, and he lets go of Buggy's feet, who are wearing He's
41:05
wearing these like little white flats that are very funny to me. Anyway,
41:09
his feet land and begin to walk by some prisoners who take a moment from
41:15
being tortured to be like wow, that's really weird. And then his feet
41:20
just run underneath them, and he himself can float above all of it,
41:25
so none of the blades or spikes or anything touches them. So Lufy's basically
41:34
riding on his back like he's a little hovercraft is kind of what it feels
41:39
like. At the center of all of this is a huge opening that looks
41:46
like a well, except there is no bottom to it that we can see.
41:52
And Buggy says, if there is a way out of here, but
41:55
nobody wants to take it, not because it's dark and skin but because this
42:00
hole is a one way trip to level two. And if you think things
42:04
are bad here, you ain't seen nothing yet. When people get sent to
42:08
hell, you better believe they'll try to claw their way out. But no
42:12
one in their right mind would dream of diving further into the abyss. And
42:17
uh, Lufy's like, all right, cool, so this is I just
42:22
jump in, and Buggy starts to say be careful because and before Buggy can
42:27
finish the sentence, Lufy has jumped. He disappears into the darkness. At
42:31
first, Buggy is sort of like, damn kid, like I can't decide
42:36
if you're really smart or really stupid, And then he says, oh,
42:40
actually, this is perfect. I was trying to find a way to ditch
42:43
him. Now he's out of here. I got the bracelet. This is
42:45
perfect. Now I can just fucking leave. So he starts to cackle to
42:50
himself. It's a real prolonged cackle before all of a sudden, this was
42:58
so funny this episode. Really, this is some good shit. He gets
43:05
hit by an axe and he turns around to see one of those blue what
43:13
are they blue gorillas? Uh, He's like, I have a chop chop
43:20
fruit, Like, there's no point in using an axe on me. I
43:28
chop myself up. You know, that doesn't do anything right. But then
43:35
he turns and looks and sees that his feet have gone over the edge with
43:40
the rest of his body, and that there is now no choice remaining to
43:46
him at all except to follow Loofy down, and it's just his head like
43:53
disembodied. He starts to try and like float away, just his head,
44:00
but eventually gets yanked down because of the way you know, his power works,
44:05
and it pulls his body down. So yeah, that is that's really
44:10
something. What is going on down at the bottom of this it turns out
44:20
is it says the floor of wild beasts from Hell, And it turns out
44:27
a lot of these prisoners get fed to the monsters down here. This is
44:35
where mister three turns up and he's just like, I'm too tired to be
44:39
afraid anymore. I'm gonna be their dinner, sooner or later, they may
44:44
as well feed me to one of these things today. I guess it's fine.
44:47
He's got a very fatalist attitude, which you would after living in a
44:51
fucking place like this. So let's jump to stroke youngest man in the prison
45:00
next episode. I'm like running short on time here, but I really wanted
45:05
to talk about all of those moments earlier on. So Buggy is trying to
45:13
work with Loofy because they are down here with these monsters, and I think
45:17
he realizes like he's not going to be able to handle them on his own.
45:21
They have to just sort of like make it work until he can find
45:23
another way to ditch Loofy. So there is this like growling coming out of
45:30
the darkness, and it takes a minute, but all of a sudden,
45:34
this little hippo with these tiny little ears appears, and you, guys,
45:39
I don't know who like may not know this about me other than raccoons,
45:46
Hippos are pretty much like my favorite animal. Hippos are deceptively strong. Their
45:53
bodies are so little fat and so heavily muscled that they sink in water which
46:01
like almost no mammals do. And they will sprint on the floor of a
46:09
river or lake and sneak up on prey from underneath like a fucking shark.
46:15
They are responsible for more deaths in Africa than any other animal, even lions,
46:22
which is truly insane to me, Like they are aggressive for no lions
46:28
eat people. Hippos are vegetarians. They don't eat meat, and they attack
46:34
people just because fuck them, which is an energy I just feel so deeply
46:40
in my soul. I love that. So anyway, I love a hippo.
46:47
But then this is like a baby hippo, which is adorable and so
46:52
makes it even better. And of course they're both kind of taken off guard
46:55
by how small it is because they don't think that it could possibly be that
47:00
much of a danger. And then as Buggy approaches it, this hippo just
47:07
goes fucking ape shit. And it turns out he can run super fast and
47:14
we'll just take a fucking bite out of you, no problem. At one
47:17
point, this hippo like falls from a height and the impact he leaves on
47:22
the floor is a lot bigger than his body is, Like it's like he
47:28
can make himself bigger or larger depending on you know. It's a weird thing.
47:36
But anyway, there is a moment here where he actually eats part of
47:42
Buggy. He like eats what a leg and torso, I can't even remember
47:46
what part he eats, but uh, he says, like to loofy,
47:53
I'll just show you what you know, the chop chop fruit can do.
47:58
And we get to see inside the hippo for a second where Buggy like grabs
48:04
his uh I can't remember what it's called, a little part of your the
48:08
back of your throat that hangs down and like grabs it and yanks on it.
48:14
So the thing stops and sort of spits him out. So that seems
48:21
to take the hippo out of the running for the moment. But throughout all
48:24
of this we've got transponder snails that are watching them. So the rest of
48:30
the security team is beginning to figure out who's all escaped and where they are,
48:37
and uh, this is when things begin to go a little bit left.
48:42
So they run into a group like a bunch of cells with all of
48:50
these dudes yelling and telling them like, oh, you like you must be
48:55
angels to be down here, and it's, you know, very clear that
49:04
our friends were going to have no Oh my god, you guys. I
49:07
forgot about the praying mantis who gets stuck. He has like blades on his
49:12
arms, but they get stuck in the ground. I swear to God that
49:15
shit was so funny. But anyway, they went, these these dudes,
49:22
Like it seemed pretty obvious to me that our friends were not going to be
49:25
saving these guys, like that was not the priority. And then all of
49:30
a sudden, Buggy stops and is kind of like, wait a second,
49:35
actually, maybe I should do this. So he lets all of them out,
49:43
and he like drops the key so they can unlock their manacles and everything,
49:47
and these guys he's like, oh good, they're all gonna owe me.
49:52
You know, I got them out of here, and I think he's
49:57
thinking they'll be part of his overall escape plan. But then later on these
50:01
dudes come running back, and it turns out like they realize, oh,
50:06
there's no way to escape this place. We forgot like it's safer, if
50:10
anything, for us to just stay here that it is to go out and
50:15
like attempt to escape and maybe die. And I love that Buggy had been
50:22
about to try and ditch Loofy. They have a whole like screaming match about
50:27
it. But the second that he realizes none of his backup is actually going
50:31
to have his back and they don't feel any debt to him anymore, he
50:37
just does take back siaes and it's like, uh uh, never mind,
50:39
how about we stick together after all. So we go back to Boa and
50:46
I love this guys. She's you know this, this blonde officer. She's
50:53
talking to Boa and she's like, I forgot to mention it before. But
50:58
the warden ate, the venom venom. So he's a poisoned man. And
51:01
Boa says poison man, and this woman just says, yes, please be
51:08
careful, and I'm like, girl, I'm gonna need you to give me
51:13
a little bit more than oh, heads up, he's a poison man.
51:19
I do not know what that means, and you're gonna have to be a
51:22
lot more specific. She just says this shit like Boa should know, and
51:27
the way Boa responds, it's clear she does not know. So go ahead
51:31
and give her some info, lady, you know, But she doesn't.
51:37
So then we get our introduction to this poison man, who it turns out
51:43
eats poison and gets the shits. His name is Magellan, and I cannot
51:52
with all of the like potty humor with this guy. He's got these huge
51:58
horns as well, which it's an interesting thing that like he's got horns,
52:06
he's got bat wings, And I'm like, what exactly is it that we're
52:09
trying to say with this particular outfit, Because with Moria it felt like a
52:15
little bit of a Tim Burton character design, which made sense because he was
52:20
on what felt like just a straight up Halloween themed island. But this dude,
52:24
I don't know what it is I'm supposed to be getting, Like it's
52:30
almost a little bit like Satan, but it it's like not quite at that
52:38
level. I don't know. I don't know, but this uh, overall
52:44
design actually goes well together in a way a lot of the others don't.
52:50
I like the way this dude is designed. I love when he says,
52:58
like, my dinner ups at my stomach. Hannibal says, probably because it
53:04
was poison. And then in the best this voice actor who's doing magellant,
53:12
Oh, come on, I'm a poison man. I love poison. I
53:31
have like this saysn't the kind of thing that like your six year old would
53:36
say, you know what I mean, like, oh my god, this
53:40
is so funny. Oh I love it so much. I'm a poison man.
53:47
I love poison. Oh god, that's good. Let's see. Oh
53:58
sorry, David says, what literary friends with Satan? Does this island serve
54:01
up? Yeah? I guess it could be like the levels of Hell,
54:05
and you know, like Dante and we do have like the Crimson Hell.
54:08
So maybe he is just meant to be designed straight up after Satan. He's
54:13
got a pitchfork. It looks like here too, which I didn't notice.
54:16
So yeah, maybe it's just that that's pretty funny. Though he says,
54:22
how's that old saying go poison kills poison? Yeah, yeah, you guys
54:25
know what that's saying. This character, I don't know. I kind of
54:30
like him. But anyway, this dude Hannibal is like, well, can
54:42
you show them to firefist, And Hannibal is like, come on, man,
54:49
I'm not supposed to do that. But then of course we have a
54:52
whole thing with him exhaling and his poison gas breath that can like hurt people.
54:59
But Hancock jumps on him, steps on him, and you dare try
55:06
to breathe their poison gas on me and he says she's stepping on me and
55:09
I think I like it, which Hannibal says lucky punk. But of course
55:15
then Boa does the whole hey, well, could you bring me to see
55:22
firefist ace like right away? And immediately he's like, sure, no problem.
55:32
This is when the news comes down that there are some prisoners that have
55:37
escaped as well, so she's just saying this to sort of distract him from
55:42
the whole thing. We kind of need you to deal with this, Warden,
55:49
wake up. He will not wake up. Warden is busy thirsting,
55:57
So all of these do who are insecurity are running around trying to find their
56:02
guy. We go back to Buggy and Loofy and Lufy has been busted on
56:10
some monsters using third gear, so he is very very small, and Buggy
56:16
had not seen this ability yet and is really kind of like what the fuck
56:21
is going on when he sees him turn large again. This is when we
56:24
get the whole sequence with all of the prisoners, which was really funny,
56:30
And then we have Mister three who comes out and is just like, ah,
56:35
I'm a man who always pays his debts and I love that. Lufy
56:39
then says, do I know you? And mister three is so bummed because
56:45
Lufy doesn't remember him and he has to hold his hair up, and then
56:52
Lufy's like, oh, it's the three hair and it's a three and it's
57:00
on fire, and we get a flashback of the wax power that he had
57:07
and he's like, oh, yeah, candlelock, this should be perfect and
57:10
turns himself into that giant swinging mallet. And I had forgotten about the whole
57:19
thing of like being able to make copies of himself because he can make figures
57:24
out of wax basically in what seems to be almost no time. And you
57:32
know, the whole way that all of this goes is I was glad to
57:39
get a refresh because I had forgotten that none of them move evidently, so
57:45
him being like, how did you know which one was me? And it's
57:49
just like, well, you know, the one that moves and talks is
57:53
probably the one. So anyway, there's like that's the end of Loofy,
58:01
And then we have a small moment where Sengoku is getting the report about Loofy
58:09
busting into the jail and this security guy is like, I don't know why
58:16
a pirate would sneak in sneak into impel Down. Do you have any clue
58:21
what he might be planning? And Sengoku says, well, I don't care
58:25
what he's planning. This is it for him. He is not getting out
58:30
of it, and we get to see, like from underwater, the way
58:37
impel Down is built. It's weird because it has like balconies and stuff,
58:42
which I'm like, what is the purpose? But he says that their defenses
58:45
are legendary and they're prepared for almost any situation. It was the guard's incompetence
58:52
that allowed him to enter. But either way, straw Hat will never leave
58:55
that place alive. Only one man has, and he says it was twenty
59:04
years ago the first and only person in the history of impel Down to escape
59:09
a pirate named Shiki the Golden Lion, and that is how the episode ends.
59:17

59:49

59:52
for that as well. Until then, to Ulu, motherfuckers. That was
