0:26
Hello and welcome to another episode of Straw Chat.
0:31
I'm Chris, This is Lee. And today we're joined by, as
0:35
usual, by Jake. Hello.
0:38
Yeah, it's usual. I'm I'm, I'm on the ship now.
0:41
I can't get off. It is.
0:42
I think it is just the three of us now, unless they're unless
0:45
you're like, oh, I don't want to do this arc and then and.
0:48
Then mainly you'll have like a really sad episode.
0:50
That's where we break everyone's heart.
0:53
Are you gonna are you gonna do this with an X on your on your
0:56
forearm? Now if you're.
0:57
Crazy. Yeah, we're gonna we.
0:59
Have a disappointing episode today, isn't it?
1:01
No, because we'll, we'll, we'll make it fun, damn it.
1:04
We'll make it fun because I've seen I've been exposed to so
1:08
much more one one piece fandom now and I've been exposed to the
1:11
bad part now where people are like, oh, you shouldn't watch
1:14
that shit, though. I don't like.
1:15
Watching fillers. And I'm like, do you know when
1:18
you want to like it? Just to spite them?
1:21
Yes. I mean, I don't.
1:22
Like my, that's like my main move.
1:24
I want to spite like this, but yeah we're we're going to roll 2
1:28
arcs into one Ocean's dream arc and return a foxy isn't it?
1:34
Foxy's return. Foxy's return in this one just
1:38
to say something because they're not very long ones.
1:41
No. No, right here.
1:44
Ocean's Dream is only 5 episodes.
1:46
Foxy Return is 4 episodes so it's yeah.
1:49
It's. Coming in streams, The Ocean's
1:51
Dream feels like more than 5 episodes.
1:54
I'm just gonna say yeah, yeah, it starts off pretty slow.
1:58
Whereas I'm on War at 7 now and I feel like I've speed through
2:03
that because it's like I want to watch another one.
2:05
Whereas these episodes, it's just like, oh so not done yet.
2:09
It doesn't help. It doesn't help that it's.
2:11
Yeah, actually, yeah. We lost like, you know, Foxy,
2:14
one of the one of the best characters who's dropped in in a
2:18
long time. And then, yeah, this this the
2:20
seahorse arc starts off like really quiet and like, you know,
2:23
everyone's like going to sleep on on on the go and marry.
2:27
And it's like, it's just like a really big, like change of pace,
2:31
I guess. Yeah.
2:33
This is the one where people's memories get stolen and we sort
2:36
of end up going back to first run character of like everyone.
2:41
Yeah, and like, Nico Robin has to fill in the gaps a bit, but
2:46
it turns out Luffy's just exactly the same person that he
2:48
was before he had his memory wiped.
2:51
Yeah, yeah, Like, yeah, Robin's kind of got a hard task because
2:54
she wasn't actually there for a lot of this stuff.
2:56
And she has to sort of be like, oh, I think you guys met up, you
3:00
know, on this island doing this stuff.
3:03
I think you were friends. I'm not sure it's.
3:06
Also going to deal with that, Nami decided she's going back to
3:09
our thief ways and stole all the gold and tries to escape so she
3:13
can go back to I can't remember what it's called not.
3:15
Holland. Park, Holland Park, I can't
3:17
remember what. They're not Karaoke Village.
3:20
It's something like that from Zelda.
3:21
Yeah. I know it was as soon as I
3:23
started seeing, it's like, Oh no, that's that's the.
3:25
Yeah, that was interesting how Nami literally turned
3:29
immediately and was like, oh, I'm going home.
3:31
Like you can't, like I'm not staying here with you guys.
3:34
Whereas like at least sort of like Luffy and Usop was sort of
3:39
like, I'm not sure why I'm here, but it's it's pretty cool being
3:43
on a pirate ship. Zorro was pissed when he woke up
3:50
with no memory. He's like, I guess I better kill
3:53
all of these pirates, Yeah. He's still a pirate, or in his
3:57
head, isn't he? Yeah, isn't he?
4:00
Yeah, at some point, like I'm out of here.
4:04
And poor Sanji, he's like, well, don't really know.
4:05
I'm supposed to be working in a restaurant.
4:09
This is a bit different. But with choppers, it has to be
4:12
in food. The chase never like Oh.
4:14
Really. Be amazed.
4:15
Emergency food, Yeah. I do like a house and you was
4:18
just like, Oh well, I don't, I don't know where I am, but this
4:22
kitchen has to be organized by me because this is a pretty good
4:24
job. All the knives are in the right
4:26
place. They he clocked on fast.
4:29
Yeah, and Nami does see like, photographs of her and like a
4:33
surrogate mother and stern sister and stuff, but she's
4:36
still not buying it for some reason, even though she
4:39
basically sees a room she would have laid out.
4:41
She's like, not sure about this, that's my family photo but I'm
4:45
still I don't believe it. Read the log 1st to see that
4:51
park had been destroyed and our village was saved instead of
4:54
just looking at it and going Oh well this is my handwriting but
4:58
I'm not going to bother I'll just.
5:00
Leave. Yeah, do they ever?
5:03
Go back to Nami's village. I don't know if they personally
5:07
go back but we occasionally flashback to old villages and
5:12
like old sets of characters when like a new big world event
5:15
happens or sometimes sneak back for like a quick scene or two.
5:20
Right. Is that like?
5:22
Pinwheel guys doing that's. What I was thinking, he's got to
5:25
be snuffed by now. He was.
5:27
He was getting pretty old. No, I think he showed up in the
5:31
in the last batch of episodes for the season pretty sure.
5:34
Because the only time I've ever seen it was when they're getting
5:36
updated bounty and they're just like, oh look at this, Nami's
5:42
got another couple of 100,000 bounty on her.
5:45
Yeah, they'll do stuff like that.
5:47
Yeah, absolutely. So this was all apparently done
5:51
by a weird little boy in a hood who shows up to the ship in the
5:56
middle of the night, plays a horrible tune.
6:00
Yeah, yeah. But you know what Jordan is, I
6:02
had to actually look back because I kind of apart from a
6:06
few moments, I forgot what happened in this.
6:11
So I had to be like, what happened?
6:13
And then I found out that this fella arc was made entirely as a
6:18
pro war for a PlayStation One game called One Piece, Ocean's
6:23
Dream, which is very. It wasn't that good, but.
6:27
Yeah. I think, I think it was one of
6:29
them ones where it was only released in Japan, so we
6:31
wouldn't have seen it anyway, but.
6:34
It has the anime, it has the anime game Curse where it's bad
6:37
just because it's anime. I can't imagine people go
6:41
rushing out to buy it anywhere going like, oh, these episodes
6:46
based on this video game and then watching these 4 episodes.
6:49
They're not going to go. That was amazing.
6:52
A bit of rush hour by this right now because it's it's a proper
6:55
sucky arc. It shows you like how it shows
6:58
you how big like stuff like that is in Japan though, because it
7:02
does occasionally like bleed in anime where it's like, oh, this
7:05
is, this is an arc literally just to promo a movie that's
7:09
coming out soon. And like they're very, they're
7:12
very good about like just like cramming that stuff into like
7:16
seasons because like we'll do it later.
7:18
Like it's a long time before Chris will see it.
7:21
But that One Piece Red movie that came out, there was like 4
7:24
or five sort of flashback episodes that led into that
7:27
movie, which they don't do every time, but for that one, it was
7:30
special for some reason. So yeah, they'll, they'll take
7:34
the, we'll take the promos seriously when they want to.
7:38
See that that is a point are we, if we do in the movies as well
7:41
in the timeline, have you accounted for that?
7:44
Most of the movies are just like a shortened versions of certain
7:47
arcs but with like some differences in them.
7:51
Yeah, pretty much what Dragon Ball did with this.
7:53
There's like, yeah, there's a chopper movie for sure.
7:56
I'm not sure how many other ones, you know, like an entire
7:58
drum Drum Island sort of movie with better animation, I guess.
8:04
But yeah, there is some movies that are literally just though
8:07
some I'm show up on Netflix that are just like off like, you
8:10
know, it's like Dragon Ball where it's like a non Canon
8:13
adventure. That doesn't change anything
8:15
like. Right.
8:17
No new power UPS, no new nothing.
8:19
Just like side adventure. One Piece Red is its own story.
8:23
It's not like based on any arcs, is it?
8:25
Because that's about Utah. Yeah, but I think like.
8:29
It's quite musical. It's good, but it is it does
8:32
take place mostly inside of a dream.
8:34
So if you can imagine how easy that is to fold back into like
8:38
the regular, right? You know, like.
8:41
I don't mind stuff like that as long as it's entertaining.
8:43
I don't mind filler orcs if they're entertaining.
8:46
I do mind this one because I thought was it felt like about
8:51
30 to 40 episodes. It felt like they were going
8:55
backwards, like literally because they did delete
8:57
characters memories. So you had to like, OK, he would
9:00
go. They showed like a lot of clips
9:02
as well, you know, like of old stuff.
9:04
And it takes them a good while before they start travelling
9:07
with each other again. When Robin's like, look, I found
9:10
these like crazy ruins, let's go there and everyone's like.
9:14
OK, not only does the ark feel long, just just before, while
9:19
you were talking about it, I was like, oh God, this, this feels
9:22
like it's gone on forever. How long have we been on this
9:24
episode 4? And it was like only 7 minutes
9:26
in. We're not finished talking about
9:28
Ocean's dream yet. No, but we can accelerate now.
9:32
So it turns out that the the mystical item that was used to
9:36
steal the memories isn't actual living seahorse that controls
9:42
the boy. Also the boy is not evil, it's
9:44
as the seahorse he's holding his mind controls Zorro as well to
9:49
sort of to try and help him like against the others which is a
9:54
bit scary for a little bit. And he's wiped out all of the
9:57
memories of all the villages. And they're like, rushing out to
9:59
get newspapers because that's the only way they can get, like,
10:02
new information about anything. I don't remember anything about
10:05
the world. Then every night it's gone
10:07
again, which is pretty bleak, but they don't really spend
10:10
enough time for us to really care about the village and sort
10:14
of it's goings on actually. I did like, when the villagers
10:17
do finally get the memories back and we'll see things happen,
10:20
like there's a guy who's just, like, lying in bed and it's
10:23
like, what are you doing up here?
10:24
You're supposed to be the hotel manager.
10:25
And he's just like, Oh, yeah. Yes, because they all like when
10:28
when Nami was coming down, they're like, did you just steal
10:30
a hotel room? They're like, no, I talked to
10:32
you yesterday and bought this room and they're just like,
10:36
who's the manager around here? Like, I don't know.
10:39
And there's some like things where like a son's like, I
10:42
haven't seen you for years. They're horrible.
10:45
Exactly the seahorse. Fuck this island.
10:47
Not really bad. I can't even remember to what
10:51
end though. He eats the memories or
10:53
something. So a whole village isn't enough
10:55
of these memories, but the Straw Hat crew is to feed him to.
11:01
Because they have such juicy, fun memories, Chris.
11:04
Because they've been on massive adventures.
11:07
Was it based on fun or is it based on like, I don't know,
11:10
experiences? But like, why?
11:12
What? What does this sort seahorse
11:14
want to do with all these memories?
11:16
Does he want to? Well, it explains it at the end.
11:18
It wants to turn into a millennial dragon.
11:21
Remember Millennial Dragons, Chris from that other pillow
11:25
rock? Oh, from Yu GI Yu-gi-oh, I'm
11:28
sure he has a Millennium Dragon. But yeah, basically I did some
11:33
research on seahorses because it did get me thinking because, you
11:36
know, there's seahorses in Pokémon.
11:37
So I was like. Do seahorses eat memories?
11:40
Well, no. When I was thinking about it, I
11:42
was like, OK, horsey, the Pokémon is quite cute.
11:45
Then when it evolves into Sedra, it's got frowny, angry eyes.
11:49
And I was like, do Japanese people think seahorses are evil?
11:52
And I kind of went, I was trying to research that.
11:55
So it turns out, no, they're not.
11:57
They don't think they're evil, but they do call them something
12:01
like a nickname that kind of goes to be like Dragon's child
12:04
or something. So they're sort of seen as baby
12:08
Dragons, you know, And they're not like, literally, but like,
12:11
it's a fun thing to tell children, like, oh, it's a baby
12:13
dragon you. Can see it.
12:15
The two look dragon ish Yeah. And so like King Sedra evolves
12:21
into Kingdra, which is a dragon water type.
12:23
So in Pokémon he achieves his dragon hood.
12:26
So yeah, apparently this is just like a little myth of like, oh,
12:29
if a, if a seahorse is really tries really hard, it can, you
12:33
know, become a dragon finally and escape the sea and all that
12:36
stuff. So yeah, that's the most
12:38
interesting thing about the Ark. I think Chris was hoping that
12:42
seahorses eat brains of like other animals.
12:45
That would be amazing. I know that Ace don't don't the
12:48
males carry the young or something like that.
12:51
The males get pregnant. Yeah, something like that, but
12:53
see also or they. Transfer eggs back and forth and
12:56
leave the males with them. Yeah, I don't know.
12:58
Hot potato or the eggs? Hey, you're the dad.
13:01
But the the most interesting thing that the question that I
13:06
got from this which I asked Lee in the past was when Zorro and
13:11
Luffy fight off screen or was it on screen Luffy gets an X.
13:17
Put. On his abdomen and it every
13:22
every picture and every video I've seen of Luffy in the future
13:26
that I wasn't meant to watch by accident has him with a deep
13:30
score on his abdomen and his where it came comes from.
13:35
Yeah, no, because this is filler, so he does get it
13:38
somewhere else. Definitely, Yeah.
13:40
You'll know when it actually happens, but I did.
13:43
I had that same thought, though. I was like, whoa, hang on a SEC.
13:47
That's not supposed to be there, But yeah.
13:49
So yeah, Luffy fights Zorro, but you don't really see a lot of it
13:53
apart from Zorro's bad news for Luffy because he chops in a lot.
13:57
And then basically after that, they'll just make fun of Zorro
13:59
for getting his mind controlled when you see us.
14:03
But it's like, what the hell were you doing?
14:04
He's like, Oh yeah. And then he tries to kill it.
14:08
Well, he does show up best. And they're like, Oh no, Zorro's
14:11
here. He's under like mind control.
14:13
He starts fighting Sanji, doesn't he?
14:15
Yeah. And then turns out he's.
14:17
Like no, I'm not really mind. Control, you're just a Dick, but
14:20
you attacked me, so of course I'll go full have on you.
14:25
And yeah, I think the dragon flies away a little bit, and
14:28
then Luffy's like, hang on, if I just, like, wrap my arms around
14:32
it and then it can't get away, and then I'm sure they'll like,
14:35
squeeze all the memories out of it.
14:37
I do realize that like this fellow, I wasn't a fan of, but
14:42
it feels like a really rushed ending.
14:45
Yeah, it felt like the entire thing was rushed because yeah,
14:49
it could like losing your memory could be a fun storyline, but it
14:53
would need like a full storyline around it, not just AI.
14:56
Mean, I wasn't a fan of the big flashback thing.
14:59
It feels like, you know, when you used to get the episodes in
15:03
when we were growing up of like, I don't know, saved by the bell
15:06
or something. And it would have a flashback
15:08
episode to how such and such came to the school or, and then
15:12
it would just be play old clips. It felt like a very I'm stolen
15:16
for time kind of thing. Which we which we know as
15:19
adults. That's just a way to the need
15:21
another episode, not clip show. Then we only have to film 10
15:24
minutes of new content. We can fill the rest with old
15:28
content. Yeah, their friends did that a
15:32
lot as well. I was watching that recently.
15:33
I was like, this is a lot of clip shows, but then for comedy,
15:37
you somebody just want to see the moments again, like at at
15:40
this. I'm not sure we needed to see
15:42
the Straw Hats origins at this point.
15:46
I know again. I mean, the only origin story
15:49
that I really felt anything from was a toy.
15:52
Toy choppers, anyway. Oh really?
15:54
That's your favorite so far at the heart.
15:56
Yes, and I'm not that I'm not that bothered about Nami.
15:59
I know she's got a sad orphans childhood but.
16:04
I mean little. Thing on Little Chopper.
16:05
A lot of them haven't had enough information about them yet
16:09
because I'm like for Nami, like, yeah, her sort of life on that
16:13
island was terrible, but it's like you don't know exactly or
16:17
what happened before. There's a lot of a lot of the
16:19
Straw Hats or orphans, but they haven't really explained why.
16:22
Compared to other stuff, say choppers isn't even that sad.
16:26
Just wait. It is.
16:28
I think Choppers is really sad but there's a there's a few good
16:31
ones to come for sure. I mean, I know, I know what on
16:37
we're not talking about you till next episode, but I do love
16:42
Frankie's. Yeah, Tom, Tom's a good
16:45
character. But yeah, we'll talk about them
16:46
for reals later. But quickly fly me, I kind of I
16:49
kind of wait to talk about him because I can see him being my
16:52
favorite character. But I do want to put all the
16:54
eggs in Bob. I have got like, I've got some
16:56
facts for later on in the show, but I've got one that I'll tell
16:59
now about Frankie where someone has wrote into the SBS in the
17:03
manga asking about Frankie's chin because it's like, it's got
17:07
the two, yeah, it's spiky spikes.
17:08
And you know how some people have like the bum chin thing and
17:12
someone was like, all right, if if someone has one of those, is
17:15
it a butt chin? But Frankie's got 2, Is it a
17:17
butt, butt chin? And others like that's exactly
17:19
what it is. Frankie has a butt chin.
17:21
But I thought it was something to do with them being like a
17:23
Cyborg. But no, it's.
17:25
No, I think it's just his nose that got fucked up.
17:30
You know you know this org is good when we're talking about
17:32
the next one. Yeah, that that's the end of the
17:35
seahorse. Everyone on the island gets the
17:37
memories back. Yeah, Let's, let's go.
17:40
No. Consequences whatsoever.
17:42
Not briefly. The kid learns a lesson.
17:45
He doesn't learn a lesson because he was he was mind
17:47
controls. He wasn't actually evil.
17:50
But the seahorse I guess learns a lesson if not to not to fuck
17:53
with people. Not a fuck with pirates.
17:56
Yeah, like. He could literally as this as
17:59
the straw had pirates leave, do exactly the same thing the
18:02
villagers and no one would ever know.
18:04
Well, maybe that's in the PS1 game, Chris.
18:07
I would have to. I did try to look up some of the
18:09
gameplay, but there wasn't much. There was the intro and that was
18:13
about it. And it's in Japanese, so I don't
18:15
speak that. So I'll have to.
18:17
Disappointed. You're going to be going like,
18:19
oh, there's a new One Piece game out.
18:21
I'll be able to play as Luffy and like fight like Ennaru and
18:24
all along and all this and the final boss is a seahorse.
18:28
Or Zorro, like I don't want to fight Zorro like we'll have.
18:31
Yeah, well, I'll, I'll play that game.
18:34
I'm sure it's terrible. So the take off from this island
18:38
and find a ship floating through the sea, and it's just a foxy
18:43
Porsche. And the other guy, I can't
18:45
remember his name, but they're just like floating through the
18:47
sea because they haven't got a crew anymore.
18:50
There's a big storm and Luffy pulls him onto the boat and
18:53
decides to help him for a bit and to come across the sexy foxy
18:57
with the frog captain has taken control.
18:59
Yeah, so like, I think we saw him briefly in the last talk
19:03
where he was like, I was the captain of the frog ship, but
19:06
now I'm part of the Foxy crew. And yeah, it turns out he was
19:10
just waiting for his chance to to take back over.
19:14
He doesn't seem to have any powers or anything interesting,
19:17
just a sword fighter guy. And Toad Pirates.
19:21
Yeah. Oh I think it's the Fang Frog
19:24
pirates in in Japanese. I wonder why they bothered
19:27
changing. That that's just from the One
19:30
Piece wiki, that might be wrong. Yeah, no, no, But yeah, so like
19:36
Luffy because he's cool, like he sees Foxy is like actually we
19:41
think sad about this and he's like I'm going to help you.
19:44
Then I think that don't want to declare another Davey back fight
19:48
as well, like a captain V captain thing.
19:52
But then the guys like. Doesn't go well for Foxy because
19:56
he tries to use his slow slow beam.
19:58
But all of this like frog guys. Like followers jump in front and
20:01
deflect the beam back to the swords.
20:04
And Fox is pretty screwed. Luffy decides to help with Afro
20:09
power again. Yeah, yeah, Because there's
20:12
like, there's like a part where like, like Foxy's on the ground,
20:16
like being like, look, you need this to help me give some Afro
20:20
back. But yeah, I did.
20:24
I did quite like this because it was very much I guess like
20:27
Scooby-doo type comedy. Like because obviously the Straw
20:31
Hats beat all the shitty pirates super easily because they're
20:34
just like regular guys. But then Foxy hits them with the
20:38
slow slow beam and puts them down like a trapdoor.
20:41
But like, even that's funny because they're like falling
20:43
slow and like. One of my favorite bits from all
20:47
of One Piece so far is in this arc and it's when I think he
20:52
Foxy goes to ZAP Nami or something.
20:53
And I think Zorro pushes her out the way, but Sanji's dived to
20:57
try and get her. And they get both hit by the
21:01
slow, slow beam and both the open mouths are just slowly
21:04
moving towards each other and they're like, no.
21:07
And it puts the chopper and he's just like, and Robin's what's
21:13
wrong is like, I just got a very bad feeling all of a sudden.
21:16
Yeah, like a horrible chill. Yeah, they do that joke a few
21:20
times when weird stuff is happening in the ship and
21:23
they're just like playing like chess or something.
21:27
But yeah, that's that's pretty much worst nightmare for Sanji.
21:30
Haven't knew Kissara, Yeah. Goes against everything he
21:34
believes in, yeah. I don't actually think those two
21:37
hate each other, they're just I think it's like brothers when
21:40
brothers fight and stuff and I do the respect each other in
21:44
their own weird little way. Yeah, it's like me when we knew
21:47
Bickerly. We always come back around at
21:50
the end, but but Chris is like the Luffy where he's like, hey,
21:54
why could everyone get along? Forget.
21:56
They gonna say I was I was chopped.
21:58
Getting a weird feeling but he's about to kiss.
22:00
You and you and thieves probably would know if that was about
22:03
happening in the ether. But yeah, like so this is like
22:08
more death traps by Foxy where they all fall under like a
22:12
horrible country about thing and get like, isn't this where
22:16
there's that weird upskirt thing though with Nami weather like,
22:20
oh, you've got to you've got to run over like the these are the
22:23
old Foxy prisoners and like. Forgot about.
22:27
I've forgot most of this arc, but you're just you're reminding
22:29
us as you go. Yeah, and she's like, oh, I'm
22:32
not running over there. And then they like, throw a
22:34
flash bang at them. Genius.
22:36
I love to grab us up instead in the dark and probably like
22:40
touching them up. They're like, oh, he's so soft
22:42
like we haven't do. You know what the weird thing
22:45
is? I normally watch this on me
22:47
computer or on me phone when I'm in bed or whatever.
22:50
This episode where Nami had to run across this spot like like.
22:55
A plank of word Overloads of prisoners, yeah.
22:58
And that was the episode that I watched downstairs with Molly
23:02
next to us for the first time. I think this is her first
23:05
experience of what? No.
23:10
It's not like that. It always that happens with
23:13
Becks all the time. Like she'll walk in and it's
23:15
nothing One Piece going on and it's just like the weirdest,
23:19
like most girly moment where they'll be like riding around on
23:22
a Unicorn or something laughing. It's like this is not what One
23:25
Piece is, by the way. Well, yeah, like, I don't know
23:28
what she's like in the dub, but in the sub Porsche is like just
23:31
basically doing like, hot horny girl voice the entire time.
23:36
So like, there was definitely moments when Natalie, like,
23:39
looked up at the TV because Porsche is like, just making
23:42
like, loads of squealing noises. And I'm like, yeah, that's just
23:45
how she talks. Can I, can I just tell one more
23:50
story about like bad moments for people walking in while you're
23:53
watching stuff? You, you're a Pokémon fan,
23:57
you'll know exactly which episode this is.
23:59
So Portman had just came out like in this country or
24:04
whatever. And I was watching it when my
24:06
dad came home and the episode was like really cool for about
24:10
half of it. And then my dad came home in the
24:13
middle of bye bye butter free. And then just, and it's butter
24:16
free with the pink butterfly and they're just flying around and
24:20
my dad walks and he's just like, fuck, you're watching.
24:23
And you're like Nelly. You're like Nelly crying freeze
24:27
going going away forever. Just done a 12 hour shift so be
24:31
son can watch this. My parents hated Dragon Ball Z
24:35
as well because from their point of view it was just all people
24:38
going like. I had that.
24:41
I'm sure there was when I when I got into Bleach as well.
24:45
When that happened, me dad used to come in like singers watching
24:49
the computer like over my shoulder.
24:51
And I'm sure there'll be some sort of like female presenting
24:55
male fight and you'd be like, what?
24:58
What are you watching? Yeah, and then that's it's not
25:03
all like this. Then that song would kick in.
25:07
Oh, yes. But yeah.
25:12
So this kind of culminates in the sort of in Foxy's horrible
25:17
basement where he's like, I've got the gorilla puncher machine.
25:20
And then Porsche's like, I have the donkey kick machine.
25:24
And like, they're about to, like, put them together.
25:26
And I think like, Luffy realizes that, oh, I can just punch
25:30
straight through this thing because I think then they make
25:34
them like hit each other because they're like, oh, we're going to
25:36
wreck this one. And then I think Nami makes it
25:38
rain on everyone and like, shorts everything out because
25:42
like, Foxy's always like, ah, there's no weaknesses to this
25:44
machine, like apart from rain or whatever, like that kind of
25:47
thing. But it's fun to see Nami
25:49
actually get to do something for once without weather powers.
25:53
Finally, yeah yeah, I'm still not a massive fan of NAMI.
25:57
I mean she probably shouldn't be in a fight with the rest of
26:01
these like monsters with devil fruit powers I wouldn't have
26:05
thought. Yeah.
26:07
Just probably the weakest on the crew.
26:09
Yeah, but it's, it's fun sometimes that the weak ones are
26:12
still like, right, I'm going to be here even though, like I
26:15
could die at any moment. I'm still here.
26:19
Yeah. I mean, I've me opinion of usops
26:22
completely turn around. I really like him now even after
26:26
he's the next talk. So I don't think my opinion is
26:29
based on strength because Nico Robin.
26:32
I don't see why people like her I.
26:34
Genuinely don't give it time. You're in the ark.
26:38
I know that. But yeah, like Nami is the one
26:42
where if she wasn't there the straw hats would be boned
26:46
because they would just die at sea.
26:49
Like, they would already be dead.
26:50
So like, yeah, she's much better, you know, doing her
26:54
navigator thing and actually making sure everyone's alive and
26:57
taking all of the cash because, you know, she deserves to be
27:00
paid for that hard work. Actually, it's good she's there
27:03
because she keeps control of the money, because we see Luffy when
27:06
he does have money and he's like, let's buy a thousand of
27:09
those. He wants a bronze statue all the
27:11
time. He's going to use his goal to
27:15
buy a bronze statue. This must be some foreshadowing
27:18
mind. Like if by the end of One Piece
27:20
Luffy doesn't have a bronze statue of himself, I'm going to
27:23
be really upset. Well, I think there might be one
27:26
in orders hometown, so maybe that's what it's referencing
27:29
like I've. I've seen the, I've seen the
27:33
other characters. I don't think I've seen the.
27:35
Yeah. There's a Luffy 1 so maybe
27:37
that's what the reference in and round about where maybe that's a
27:39
popular thing in Japan. Like have a bronze statue with
27:43
someone famous or something. You know what?
27:45
Do you know what the date is for this coming out?
27:48
Like what, Roughly what year? Oh, this is we're still in like
27:51
2006. Seven, aren't we?
27:53
Oh, I said 67. 667. What a 6-7 NBA.
27:57
We're still. We're still early on in the
27:58
2000s, right? I'm aware, yeah.
28:02
It's got to be like 200 swimming episodes in.
28:05
One a week, Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen loads of memes about
28:11
the season 1, season 2 thing, which which is actually get
28:15
because you know the the really long dog on the long ring, long
28:18
roads off. It's like season, season 1 and
28:23
then season 2 is the head. Yep.
28:28
But yeah, so that's the kind of inciting incident for the Foxy
28:32
thing. The see how much gold is on the
28:34
ship while while they're sort of getting a ride.
28:37
And that's why they decided to do the betrayal.
28:40
But no, they ain't going to let them take the gold.
28:42
Of course not. And I think the Foxy Pirates
28:47
just sort of blow up and then the Straw Hats leave and they're
28:49
like, see us, we beat you again. I still think this is going to
28:54
come back around towards the end.
28:55
And this is going to be like backup for Luffy.
28:57
One day. We're going to get like the
29:00
slow, slow beam. Like, you know, it's going to be
29:02
like, Luffy's about to die. And that's like, Oh, no, no
29:05
beam. Oh no, it's just the last time
29:07
we see the Foxy Pirates. No, I think the pop up every now
29:11
and then, but I just think, I just think it's going to come
29:13
back around in a big way. I do think Luffy will almost
29:18
die. He's.
29:19
Got him. Right.
29:20
Like in one of the final fights, I reckon there'll be some
29:23
teaming up, but then the person who's teamed up with is going to
29:26
betray him and stab him or something and he's going to be
29:29
dying. And then somebody else is going
29:31
to use their Devil Fruit power to forfeit their life to bring
29:36
them back. I'm guess I'm guessing this is
29:39
all like you'd understand if you're up to date, but this is
29:41
all good. Yeah, I'm trying.
29:43
I'm trying not to give away too much.
29:44
I think I thought he was going to say someone's going to put
29:47
the Afro on Luffy and it's going to be Foxy right at the end.
29:51
There's there's something called the the OP OP or OP OP, you know
29:55
me. It's like the medical fruit
29:57
thing. You know who has that done yet?
30:00
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that awakened fruit has like
30:03
immortality powers or something like that, but I think at the
30:06
cost of the person's own life that has to be used at some
30:10
point because the conscious. Yeah, they can't.
30:12
Eat it. We can't talk about it with
30:15
that. With that, so there's something
30:16
called the opio, which is the immortality fruit.
30:20
No, it's like it's like operation, like operation fruit
30:23
I guess is what they're going for there.
30:25
It's separation. Oh, but it's.
30:29
Too much. It's too much.
30:30
You can't tell Chris about it. Yeah, no, what I'm thinking in
30:33
me head is you cannot get a new devil fruit until the last user
30:41
has died, can't you? So how?
30:44
How does that exist without someone having it?
30:46
Well it it doesn't grant the user immortality, it grants them
30:50
the ability to operate on things.
30:52
But devil fruits can awaken and the awakened form of this you
30:56
can give someone immortality at the cost of your own life.
31:01
Oh, OK, it's a bit of it. Well that that has to come into
31:04
a play at some point and I reckon Luffy's going to be about
31:07
to die unless he gets this operation.
31:09
Maybe. Right.
31:11
That'd be crazy if you did If you did predict it.
31:14
I'm going to, I'm going to forget all of that.
31:16
Yeah, you will. It's it's not anything hopefully
31:19
happened. He's just making stuff up.
31:22
Yeah, I do. I am desperate to hear some like
31:26
fun theories that go around because I'm the top my head.
31:32
I really want to look at that the crocodile is Luffy's mom and
31:36
not. Far off that.
31:38
I'm not far off it OK. Well, you're not far seeing how
31:41
it could happen like you know, but that was that was a bit of a
31:45
leap for people, but I don't know.
31:48
I love stuff like that because it's just hype and then it's
31:51
just like, well, that could happen.
31:54
But wouldn't, wouldn't he know? And then wouldn't he have not
31:57
put a hook through his own son? In Alabaster, I don't know
32:02
because obviously if he's dumped him, if he or she or I don't
32:06
know how that that's that's working.
32:08
Dumped him on an island to get raised.
32:11
Obviously didn't care about. Maybe I think you'd hear about
32:15
what Goff's doing. If we keep at the pace that
32:18
we're watching at the moment and recording episodes that we're
32:20
watching, you'll know the crocodile is Lukey's mom theory
32:24
within 10 weeks. Right, OK, I won't forget the
32:27
awesome the year. Don't worry about it, just enjoy
32:30
it. Yeah, to be fair, I am enjoying
32:33
it when it when it does get the fill episodes.
32:36
I guess I kind of like, as much as I hate to admit it, if I
32:40
didn't see the Ocean's Dream arc, I don't think it would have
32:44
taken away anything from my enjoyment.
32:47
Yeah, I think the only thing it's good for is just getting a
32:51
quick like recap. Like if you haven't seen the
32:54
like the intro episodes for a while, you'll get a because I
32:57
haven't. And I'm like, oh, it's, I'm
32:59
seeing these scenes. But if I'm I'm sure Lee's
33:03
mentioned it in the past, either privately or yeah, where it's
33:06
just like if I was watching this on a week to week basis, I
33:09
wouldn't know that yeah, so I wouldn't know this fella arc
33:13
ended up as a. Yeah, isn't Canon or whatever.
33:16
We do have something really good to talk about now though.
33:19
Now that Fox is done with, who do we meet?
33:21
Yep, finally. Yeah, we got this weird little
33:25
island where there's a lot of people who've shipwrecked, which
33:29
is sort of just telling us about an island that's near 47 where
33:33
we're going next. Is it, is it only me or do these
33:38
these passengers not really deserve to be saved?
33:41
Well, it sounds like the rich people who've been on a little
33:43
trip to like, you know, Fancy Restaurant Island, so yeah.
33:48
That's why I was just saying, well, you kind of whatever.
33:52
And at the end where the seas froze nowhere, they're like, oh,
33:56
it's going to take so many days to walk.
33:58
All right then, they are grateful.
34:01
I feel like they were grateful in Japanese, so maybe that's
34:03
like a localization. I think it's just my anti rich
34:07
bias coming out I think. Yeah, maybe.
34:09
So yeah, we see one of the who's I think doesn't Robin name them
34:15
as like one of the three powerhouses of the, of the like
34:19
the Marines, basically. Yeah, we mean Vice Admiral Alku
34:24
Alkuigi asked to be able to say that name.
34:28
I don't know, I feel like it might just this is just like
34:30
Akuigi, like quickly like Waluigi.
34:33
Although I do also he's he gets called Kuzan as well but.
34:36
Yeah, it's not like maybe his first name could be.
34:41
Yeah, they do. They do that a bit later.
34:44
Yeah, I think in Japanese, I'm pretty sure this is voiced by
34:48
Dio's Japanese voice actor, which is fun.
34:51
From JoJo, right? But yeah, I remember seeing this
34:54
for the first time and thinking this guy was awesome.
34:57
He is. Yeah.
34:58
I didn't know how evil he was, but ice power is just pretty
35:01
cool. It's to me watching it with no
35:04
reference of future episodes. I think it's OP because he
35:09
doesn't. He can't be affected by the sea.
35:14
Yeah, pretty much, yeah. As long as he's got his wits
35:17
about him to freeze it first before he, like, hits it, yeah.
35:21
But that's what I thought and in in animes, whenever I've seen
35:26
it, it's always the most chilled back and relaxed like, oh, I
35:30
don't care about you attitude and it's the strongest people.
35:36
But I don't know where he power skills because you don't see him
35:38
fight. But he seems like a big bad or a
35:42
big Oh yeah strong person. Yeah, he definitely is.
35:46
But yeah, I don't think you see him for like a little while but
35:49
soon though for sure. But yeah, I mean, the way he
35:53
just like horribly freezes Luffy and Robin is is scary because
35:59
like, I don't know what it is about ice powers when you're
36:02
like, oh, well, you better not shatter them, otherwise they're
36:05
dead forever. It's just it's a really good,
36:07
it's really good storytelling to be like, oh, you got to like,
36:11
you know, nobody has to can touch Luffy now because he's
36:14
he's brittle. How Koiji is one of the most
36:17
powerful people in One Piece for for sure.
36:20
Like 100% positive he is skipping ahead a little bit.
36:24
Without spoilers, he has a he has a fight with someone where
36:28
it lasts like 7 days or something.
36:31
Yeah. And seven days.
36:33
It's like a seven day fight that he has with someone and it's a
36:35
pretty much a standstill and he only just loses.
36:38
But the person he fights, Order has stated this person, if they
36:42
decided to set out to find the one piece, that would have it
36:46
within a year because they're that strong.
36:48
Right. And how Koichi, like, pretty
36:51
much like, holds his own against him for seven days.
36:55
Well, like, you're right though, like Chris to start to start
36:58
thinking about power scale and I mean in a way, but we are about
37:01
to enter like an era of like, you know, the power scale going
37:05
way up from definitely from like Alabaster.
37:09
I mean, obviously NRU was like, you know, that was the start of
37:12
it, I guess. You know, like, you know, the
37:14
literal lightning man who nobody can touch apart from Luffy.
37:19
So yeah, we're definitely going into like the more supernatural,
37:23
like crazy power level stuff, but I think like One Piece
37:27
spends so much time earning that that it doesn't feel like silly.
37:30
It's like, no, this is like a natural progression type of
37:33
thing. Yeah, yeah, I mean, after what's
37:38
the guy who hates dreams called again?
37:40
Oh, Blackbeard. No, the he's.
37:44
Bellamy, OR. Bellamy, yeah.
37:46
And after him where he defeated them on one punch, I feel like
37:51
he is the in the past like to show how much Luffy's progressed
37:55
in strength. But now it's kind of feels like
37:59
you get to the stage where there needs to be something extra to
38:04
unlock or learn or some sort of training thing to keep up with
38:08
these people. Because I'm a little bit
38:12
currently I'm up to 200 and. 53 I think.
38:17
Something yeah, 53 And I'm like, I don't think through power that
38:23
they would match these people even with all of the like plot,
38:28
all man stuff that they do have. So there needs to be something
38:32
else for them to keep up. So I think it's like edging
38:35
towards something where the need to step up a game.
38:39
Yeah, absolutely. And it's like a lot of the Straw
38:42
Hats, like it's not the same as Naruto where you get like a long
38:46
training thing that you see on screen a lot of the time.
38:50
And it is more like off screen. They've been doing some
38:54
training. So like you definitely see it
38:56
with Zorro a lot where you just get stronger between arcs or,
39:00
you know, like, and you just to assume how he's been training in
39:03
the background and that last fight, obviously, like, you
39:06
know, took him up to the next level or something.
39:09
But no, it's fun because I don't know, I always like that stuff
39:12
in in anime. I'm always in for like a new can
39:15
you power up or like a new transformation like in Dragon
39:18
Ball or something. And I'm always happy when that
39:20
happens. It always works on me.
39:24
The the the power progression is weird in this though I've I've
39:27
noticed because as you say in Naruto you get treated montage
39:31
where he's learning a new thing like oh he spent two episodes
39:35
learning to climb up a tree or upside down with the chakra kind
39:39
of thing. Or like stand on, yeah.
39:42
Yeah. And this one, it's kind of like
39:44
it's really slow and slow, and then you don't realize it till
39:49
like the fight normal people where it's just like they just
39:52
bat them away with the back of the hand.
39:54
Yeah, it doesn't matter. And that's how you use it as a
39:56
gauge. And Levy's weird because like in
39:58
All along Park, he like puts his hand through All along sword,
40:02
you know, he like chops into his shoulder.
40:04
He just like cracks the sword. And that's, I don't think that's
40:07
anything to do with this Devil fruit he's just got.
40:10
He's just got insane grip strength somehow.
40:13
And like, you know, he climbs, he climbs up Drum Island like by
40:15
hand carrying someone. He's just built different.
40:20
In Dragon Ball, that would have been like a like a test, Yeah.
40:24
When you got to the top, you would have been like you would
40:26
have saw whoever's. Yeah, I know Goku does that.
40:29
He climbs Corin Tower. It's kind of the same thing.
40:31
But like, yeah, so Luffy is like getting trained and by accident,
40:35
just by like horrible stuff happening to him.
40:38
I think that's kind of how it works.
40:40
Yeah, yeah, definitely. But then I just think it's, it's
40:44
just an original thing, the one piece where it doesn't like
40:48
focus on that. Yeah, Luffy doesn't really have
40:50
teachers. Whereas like in Bleach, it'll be
40:52
like, oh, well, you're getting taught how to unlock something,
40:56
whereas Luffy kind of just has to watch it and be like, I think
40:59
this is how it works. Or he gets like taught for one
41:02
day in the middle of like a war or something like.
41:06
But yeah, it just makes it special when he busts it out and
41:08
you're like, Luffy, you've been hiding this for how long?
41:11
Like kind of a secret move that you've never done before just
41:15
makes you just makes you like jump out your seat and be like
41:19
whenever it happens. But I so I Lee, you were saying
41:23
you had some secrets from the manga to impart to us.
41:27
So readers write in, asking just random questions to order about
41:31
things to do with one piece. I mean, sometimes to do,
41:34
sometimes write in and like, if you were a vegetable, what kind
41:36
of vegetable would you be? And it gives, like, silly
41:40
answers, but there's some serious stuff in here.
41:44
Django. You remember Django from Orange
41:47
Town? Yeah.
41:48
So before he was a pirate, he used to be a wandering dancer,
41:53
but he wasn't very good at it. So he didn't make much money and
41:57
he just decided to sleep. Most of the time he didn't bath.
42:00
And eventually a mushroom grew on his chin.
42:02
So that's not a beard that he's got that straight me thing
42:04
that's sticking out of his chin. It's a mushroom.
42:07
And it did go into like a cap. But he got so hungry one day he
42:11
decided to eat the cap off the end of the mushroom.
42:14
So he's got leftover mushroom stuck to his chin.
42:16
That's what that is. Yeah.
42:18
Here's I'll read out the question as well.
42:21
Order Sensei. Since Luffy is a Gomo human,
42:23
does that mean his penis can stretch too?
42:26
And his reply, his penis can stretch too?
42:29
This. Is like Yahoo answers.
42:31
Yeah, Joe reminded me of It's like when Finley asks me quite
42:36
Oh, my son. Asks me questions.
42:38
And I don't know the answer so just make it up on the spot.
42:41
Yeah. Like a good dad?
42:44
Yeah. Then you'll think you're the
42:46
smartest man in the world. Yeah, next one.
42:48
If I want to be as if I want to be a girl, as cool and
42:52
courageous as Zorro, how should I start?
42:55
And orders reply. Hmm.
42:57
First you squat, then in order to become courageous, eat some
43:01
sardines. That's how you become as brave
43:04
as someone like. I do need to get back to my
43:07
squat, so thank you all the thank you, my sardines.
43:11
Yes, Madam, but not. Here's just a fun a fun little
43:14
fact from the manga. So someone one's asked in volume
43:18
7, page 18, third panel. The knife Sanji's holding
43:22
appears to have some writing on it, but it's so small I can't
43:25
tell what it is. An order has said that it says
43:28
Hoku no Ken, which translates to Fist of the North Star.
43:33
No, that's pretty cool. He just got bored and decided to
43:36
write that on the knife. I.
43:37
Thought that was really cool. So right question.
43:41
Boogie the Clown can split himself in pieces right?
43:44
Which means he can also do it down there if you catch my
43:48
drift. I can't get any more specific,
43:52
don't make me see it. Don't draw anything until you
43:54
answer this question. In order to reply is just his
43:57
penis can fly too. Must be the most devastating
44:01
attack in all of One Piece. In the middle of a fight and a
44:05
penis slaps you in the face. You can also separate his butt
44:08
cheeks and realize you like put them on your head.
44:10
Like the guy from Little Nicky. But then where does his spots go
44:14
if he splits? If he Barre barrel no visas but
44:17
in half. That brings me to my a previous
44:22
question that I had, which was what happens when a body part of
44:26
theirs gets wet? Yeah, that's a that's a tough
44:29
one. I don't know if we've seen
44:31
evidence of it happening, to be honest.
44:33
Luffy's the one who ends up in the water the most in this
44:36
series, so you might be able to, but then his parts are all
44:38
attached to him. So I've, I've started, obviously
44:43
I've got the anime club Facebook page now and I've joined loads
44:46
of anime pages and they talk a lot about loopholes and stuff as
44:52
well. So I'm seeing more of it as
44:54
well. And the, the questions like
44:56
this, and I'm sure one is one of the questions was how did the
45:00
bathe? And they've got to have a
45:02
certain percentage of the of the body outside of water to not be
45:07
incapacitated. I think it's also just sea water
45:10
as well, right? I mean, I know because it
45:13
definitely is like there's something about the sea
45:16
specifically because we've seen, we've seen the sea stone stuff,
45:21
the sea prism stone used against Eneru where it like sapped him
45:25
of all of his powers. So there's something magical
45:28
about the ocean, you know, that's related to these fruits.
45:33
I didn't screenshot it, but it was a question in the SBS where
45:36
it's asking like out of the bed and the bath water is Stillwater
45:40
which is from the sea. So it still does weaken them,
45:44
but I think it is because they're not fully under the
45:46
water even in the even sea is the rain as well.
45:49
So if they're out in the rain, they're going to be weakened
45:50
slightly. Look smelly.
45:54
I mean, a lot of characters reference that he doesn't really
45:58
look after himself so well. I don't think he has a bath that
46:01
often to make it the problem. This does lead on to me next one
46:06
which someones asked why do all the crew members other than Nami
46:09
only wear one outfit? Asking is that the only clothes
46:12
that own? But it is the definitely have
46:15
many changes of the same outfit. Nami just doesn't give them much
46:19
allowance so she will be able to buy lots of different versions
46:22
of like clothes but they just have.
46:24
I imagine they've got a Mr. Bean wardrobe where they open it and
46:27
it's just Redfest, Redfest, Redfest.
46:30
I mean, yeah, I don't know when that question was asked, but
46:33
like, they do change every arc now, yeah.
46:35
So they at least get one every few months.
46:39
But yeah, it's I do like the idea of like Nami is has more
46:44
money. So like I'm going to buy the the
46:45
shirt that says evil. This is going to be my shirt
46:48
now. But Luffy's got some cute
46:51
outfits. I mean, we we do see an outfit
46:54
change quite soon to where we're all watching and things like
46:57
that. And Zara had that cool goggles
47:00
outfit for a little bit for some reason on.
47:03
Skype. Yeah, this screenshot.
47:05
Yeah, I like that. Is there any episodes that we
47:08
should watch together as well? I know you said 236 or something
47:13
like that, but. There is one coming on Christmas
47:15
and and I'm just I just it's quite an emotional episode and I
47:18
just think he. Wants to see you cry.
47:20
Yeah, that's that's all I'm waiting for.
47:22
I just want to see Chris cry. OK?
47:23
And I've got two more. If God, Anil or Aniru would
47:28
descend the blue sea, how much would this bounty be?
47:30
And if he did that, would he rule the sea God Anaru would
47:34
have been 500 million Berry bounty if he came down to the
47:39
bluesy. But because there's even crazier
47:43
people down here, he wouldn't have been able to do much about
47:46
it. He would have only got to
47:47
that's. More than any of us.
47:49
Yeah, I suppose. Yeah, and Andrew could kick our
47:52
ass, I suppose. That's the thing with him,
47:54
because he can travel like, you know, over the water and stuff.
47:58
I guess because he's just like lightning.
48:00
He would accidentally run into the worst guys a lot quicker
48:03
than yeah yeah, he'd get slapped down pretty hard as soon as he
48:08
messed with someone. The last one, if Lady Robin can
48:12
use her Hannah Hannah powers to make any part of her body sprout
48:15
somewhere else, does that mean she can do it with her ample
48:18
bosom as well? Boy, I'd like to take a hit from
48:22
that sometime. Is it pitcher and Zaki single
48:27
sprout? Niranzaki double sprout.
48:29
Niranzaki breast sprout. Very clever.
48:31
No, it's not Stop that. I'm sure she can do it though.
48:35
He's like, yeah, she can, but I'm not going to draw it or tell
48:38
you about it. There's a lot of purview
48:40
questions get asked in the SPS. Really that's quite funny
48:44
because we were just talking before like this, like start at
48:47
that. Like obviously the, the thing
48:49
about Japan is they're always seen as like really polite and
48:51
stuff. And it's, it's interesting to
48:53
see some of the, the real attitudes come out.
48:56
Sometimes there's there's. Questions where people are
48:58
writing in and it's like, hey, order, put that porno magazine
49:01
down and listen to my question and then they'll ask a question
49:03
and he'll reply me saying like no, don't take my porno away
49:07
from me. Yeah, he seems like he, I mean,
49:09
he obviously writes the jokes that we enjoy in One Piece, so
49:12
he's definitely got a a good idea of comedy.
49:16
But yeah, we, I mean, yeah, I think that is implied with Robin
49:20
that because I'm sure she's just put eyeballs, ears and like, you
49:24
know, hands and feet out there so.
49:26
What you supposed to be? Unless she was like trying to
49:28
destruct Sanji because she's like popping a boob over the
49:30
wall or something. Yeah, Yeah.
49:33
Or could you use it to like, fart into the next room?
49:38
That's what I want to ask. Order perfect, Frank purposes.
49:43
I would. I would fought on someone out of
49:45
someone's pillow. You couldn't.
49:49
You could. Be in a meeting at work with
49:51
loads of other people. Make your ass like appear
49:54
underneath someone else's chair and let out the loudest fart
49:57
ever and be like he did it. Endless fun, but unfortunately
50:02
it's been given to a woman who has a tragic backstop doesn't
50:06
have time for such pranks. I'm still, I'm still waiting for
50:10
that tragic back story so I can give her a little bit of
50:13
empathy. You're like so close.
50:16
I know, I know. So, yeah, Next up we've got
50:19
Water 7, which we're already on. You've seen how amazing it is.
50:22
I can't. Yeah, I'm.
50:24
Currently I'm currently watching that at the minute and spoiler,
50:27
I fucking love Frankie. Like yeah, you start off as a
50:30
villain and even then I loved him with square headed Benchman.
50:37
But yeah, like what A7? Like, it's also the time when,
50:40
like, you know, the animation starts getting better, I think
50:43
as well, and things start settling in to like, routines
50:49
and yeah, a lot of stuff gets put down that's going to be,
50:51
like, important later. It feels like leaning more into
50:55
the comedy as well. Yeah, I know what you mean.
50:57
Yeah. Yeah.
50:59
Giving it time to breathe or like, you know, because there's
51:02
some like dark stuff coming up. So you need to like have some
51:07
levity. Yeah, as long as it's not one of
51:09
them recap clip shows, I'm fine. I'll take the dog with a good.
51:13
There definitely is recap show like episodes, but I'm pretty
51:17
sure they only show up on Crunchyroll and sort of Netflix
51:21
doesn't even acknowledge them. But if you're trying, if you're
51:25
watching like what Japanese people watch week to week,
51:27
there's so many recap things that go on.
51:30
I can understand why people get mad about like recaps and stuff
51:34
because if you're watching like everything, like they definitely
51:36
do just have a break and they're like, oh, we're just going to
51:39
rerun some stuff now. Like OK.
51:41
Yeah, that. That's why I give it forgiveness
51:44
because I'm like, if I was watching this week to week, I'll
51:47
be like, well, I'll remember in the early 2000s trying to catch
51:51
an anime where you just like you'd watch the odd episode.
51:55
There was no streaming service. There was maybe he's at most Sky
51:59
Plus where you'd be able to record stuff and obviously you'd
52:02
forget. So I'm sure I'll watch Cowboy
52:05
Bebop out of Aura as well and all that sort of stuff when it
52:08
was on the telly. Yeah, and also like you had to
52:11
sometimes be online and find the episodes.
52:14
I don't even know if I've seen the finale of Cowboy Beaver
52:17
because I was just finding like streaming sites or like torrent
52:20
episodes here and there and just assuming it was the correct
52:24
stuff and like the full thing. You download like Linkin Park,
52:27
just discography and you get some weird dodgy video.
52:30
You get the. History of Trunks as well as a
52:34
bonus. Yeah.
52:36
And I don't think there's a lot of like a flashback stuff or
52:39
like recap stuff coming up in the next few sagas or arcs.
52:43
No, but we have got some more weird filler stuff after Enny's
52:47
Lobby. We've got the Boss Luffy special
52:51
which is where it's like an alternate universe Loopy and his
52:55
crew for like 4 episodes. But I don't know if I don't know
52:59
if some of that stuffs are actually on like streaming.
53:04
I don't know, because I saw some of that stuff was like dotted in
53:07
as well. Like, and yeah, that's what
53:09
they'll do. Like for the recaps they do at
53:11
least frame it where it'll be like 2 like chibi characters,
53:14
like versions. Come on.
53:15
And they're like, oh, we're here to tell you about like, you
53:17
know, our Captain Luffy. And like so it it does have like
53:20
a framing device that is new content technically or they just
53:24
got the voice actors in. But I mean, behind the boogie
53:26
stuff, the the boogie mini boogie.
53:29
But he didn't have kneecaps, so yeah, yeah.
53:33
And honestly, some of that stuff in Egghead was actually useful
53:35
to me because they'll give me recaps of people who hadn't
53:37
shown up for like ages. And I'm like, oh, OK, I'm
53:40
listening. Didn't really like that.
53:41
The air, the big odd stuff where the show.
53:43
Yeah, it was actually useful. But yeah, what A7?
53:47
It's pretty cool. That weird because I think I've
53:51
got a lot more to talk about. It does seem to be a massive
53:54
distinction between villa and actual plot.
53:59
Yeah. Enjoyment and wanting to talk
54:02
about it as well. Oh yeah, for sure.
54:04
But yeah, I think that's Has anyone got anything else to add
54:08
about Ocean's Dream or return to Return to Foxy I?
54:13
Don't know how we spoke about it for an hour.
54:17
Are we at an hour? Yeah, buddy, else I think we'll
54:19
win on a quite a few. Tangents like yeah, there was
54:23
better stuff to talk about. Yeah, yeah.
54:26
Due diligence has been done, though.
54:28
But yeah, and I. Don't make club vote starts
54:30
quick. Quick Bieber is going to kill
54:32
us. It's I just stopped this
54:35
earlier. Just don't mess with the clock
54:37
start. But yeah, thanks for watching.
54:39
Thanks for coming and till next week when we talk about Water 7
54:44
in the introduction of probably the the best character so far
54:49
that in my opinion, Frankie. Oh yeah, bye.
