0:02
This is an unspoiled network podcast. This is spoil Me covering one piece the
0:12
animated series on Netflix, episode five, Eat at Barati Verity. I don't
0:22
recall. I'm so excited, you guys, because we're finally getting to meet
0:27
Sanji. And I will tell you what. He's so charming and they have
0:32
made him just understated enough so far with his flirting that I can tolerate this
0:39
quite easily. Welcome to spoil Me. Welcome to the show everyone. I
1:03
am Natasha. Thank you so much to Gabby for commissioning this episode. I
1:07
am loving the show so much, you guys, and I had forgotten that
1:14
long before the show came out. We actually saw the I'm gonna call it
1:19
Barazzi because I feel like that's what I remember them how they pronounced it.
1:23
But we saw the set that they had built. It was getting a lot
1:27
of attention because it is extremely fucking elaborate, and I was so impressed with
1:36
it. Even in those stills. I was just like, Wow, they're
1:38
really fucking going for it. That's the first thing that gave me some real
1:42
like huh, maybe they're gonna do something actually, But I had forgotten about
1:49
it by the time we watched, so I sort of had it in my
1:53
head that when we reached this point, the ship was going to be only
2:00
ever shot at angles where you saw a portion of it, because it would
2:05
be like we were putting it together in our heads, and that there would
2:07
be one establishing shot that was really just cgi. So I forgot how lovely
2:15
this place looks, and it's even better with all the people aboard and it
2:19
lit and everything. It looks so good. But of course I'm getting ahead
2:23
of myself, because we actually start this episode where we left off, where
2:27
we have Loofy up against Garp his grandpa. Now we have a flashback here
2:36
to Loofy building this slow, like you know, shitty raft on the beach,
2:44
and he is really enjoying himself. It's actually like for this little kid,
2:52
a pretty mean piece of engineering this raft. And his grandpa comes up
2:59
hearing this yellow Hawaiian print shirt with like a long sleeve underneath it. I
3:07
don't know why, but this outfit gets me so gigly, and Ohen was
3:10
like, I like that shirt actually, but yeah, he shows up and
3:15
says, what is the meaning of this? And how do you expect to
3:21
be a marine when you're wasting your time on this, and Lufy says,
3:27
I don't want to be a marine. I'm a pirate, and Garb completely
3:34
loses his shit and just tears this boat apart piece by piece. The mean,
3:40
like the meanness of this moment. I absolutely cannot with adults who want
3:50
to like shit all over the dreams of a little kid, even if it
3:53
is the kid, is like professing to want to do something that you don't
3:57
believe is worthwhile. Dreams that people have when they are small children are so
4:03
rarely the same dreams they wind up having later. You know, Lufy being
4:06
a very particular exception, because he is the exception to every rule in so
4:11
many ways. But honestly, it's just like there's a certain things that it's
4:17
not worth wasting your time getting upset about because they are going to be so
4:21
fleeting that ultimately I don't really feel like you need to worry. And there's
4:28
an episode of Boneset because I've been rewatching it where this girl is about to
4:31
like choose what college she's going to based on where her boyfriend is going,
4:38
and she got accepted to like Brown and wants to go to a state school,
4:43
and her mother is really upset, and the person that she asks for
4:47
advice basically says, just don't fight her because the more you fight her,
4:54
the more she'll fight back and wait it out and see because like she made
5:00
change her mind, and ultimately that's what happens. This you know, relationship
5:04
winds up breaking up, and she chooses to go to the original school that
5:10
she was accepted at in any way, So all that to say, I
5:15
was truly surprised. I don't feel and I may be wrong about this because
5:23
it was so brief, but guys, have we seen any actual scenes where
5:30
Garp and Loofy are like interacting when he was a kid in this sort of
5:35
way, Because I was my assumption in this scene was that Lufy was still
5:45
so young that he hadn't made it clear what he wanted to do yet,
5:51
and when he tells his grandpa this and they have this confrontation that eventually he
5:58
is going to you know, come to come to meet Shanks and that's when
6:03
things will really begin to pop off. But then Owen pointed out to me
6:08
that Lufy has the hat already in this scene, which indicates that he has
6:13
already met Shanks. And this whole thing has happened, which because it has
6:18
been mentioned more than once that Lufy doesn't have any family, I was really
6:24
confused at the fact that apparently after Shanks is I don't know if he didn't
6:30
know his grandpa, if he's been lying to people that he doesn't have family
6:34
because he didn't have really a relationship with his grandfather. This is all stuff
6:39
that's like kind of from where I'm at in the anime, not an answered
6:43
question, at least as far as I recall. Again, there may be
6:46
something established that I have forgotten about. But yeah, his grandpa picks him
6:55
up and says, your training begins today, but first lunch and stalks away
7:02
with Loufy tossed over his shoulder. We come back to the present and the
7:08
back and forth with the cannons. There is an amazing sequence of Usop pretending
7:15
that he knows how to load a cannon, but he just drops all of
7:19
the ammunition and it goes like rolling away. And I love because he's been
7:25
brought on reminder as the sharpshooter, the fact that he doesn't know how to
7:30
use this. It's tragic. It's so watching these balls roll away. Oh
7:34
this this pork kid. So this is followed by Garb shooting towards Loofy,
7:46
and Loofy using his rubber powers to expand himself and then shoot the ball the
7:55
cannonball directly back at them, which is something that it seems Garp didn't know
8:05
Lufy was capable of. But again, I thought in the flashback that it
8:11
had happened early on enough that Lufy didn't have his powers yet until Owen pointed
8:16
out the hat. So obviously, when he was a little kid, he
8:22
had been with his grandfather while he had these powers. So I don't know
8:26
if it's simply that Garp didn't understand the level to which Lufy had trained with
8:33
them and knew how to use them, or if he just never thought that
8:35
Lufy would resist him in this kind of way. I don't know. He
8:41
looks totally shocked in a way that felt like he had no idea Lufy could
8:46
do this, and I don't know. He starts laughing at this point,
8:52
and he says not bad boy, not bad and looks almost impressed the fact
9:00
too, that Lufy is wearing in a Hawaiian shirt of his own, and
9:05
just that it feels like he's sort of in a way like emulating his grandfather,
9:09
but unintentionally. There's just a bit of a little like reflection there,
9:13
you know. And everybody is very impressed with what he has managed to do
9:22
here. But it is like the way that this scene wraps up, this
9:31
is so great, you guys, all right? So we have Garb calling
9:41
up me Hawk and my friends, is that mehwk amazing or what? He's
9:52
got a dandy sort of vibe about him, but also like a badass.
9:58
The sequence in which they are talking has him taking out hordes of people at
10:07
the same time with almost no effort expended that I could see. And the
10:16
giant sword and the way these guys go literally flying through the air, and
10:22
Miehawk is doing all of this while chatting as if he has like a bluetooth
10:26
headset on with Garb, and Garp is telling him, I want you to
10:33
go handle Loofy and Meehawk is like, why are you calling me to handle
10:37
him? He sounds like kind of a small fry. I have got better
10:41
things to do. And Garp has to be like, no, no,
10:46
no, trust me. There's more to him than meets the eye. Meehowk
10:50
says one moment, and he does that thing where he just slices downward and
10:54
an entire ship breaks in half, which we hear about secondhand from the dun
11:03
Kreek pirates later on. I was very, very excited to really get to
11:09
see that. And he's just crazy looking his eyes everything. He's got the
11:15
very yellow eyes. So, guys, and like I'm driving at this this
11:20
happens like a third of the way in, but I just have to talk
11:24
about it because you know why, right, you know why. Dunk Kreig
11:30
is easily, in my opinion, the worst one piece villain. He is
11:35
boring, he is repetitive, he is tiresome in a personality kind of way.
11:43
The arc that he was in was way too drawn out. He only
11:48
ever really seems to like want to do the meanest possible thing, so his
11:52
motivations are always so flat and uninteresting. And because we were facing off with
12:01
him outside of the Barati, I have this preoccupation with what's going on in
12:07
the restaurant, and you know, all of the implications of this place and
12:13
how we're out here fighting and there's so many more interesting things going on over
12:18
here, and I just found myself so frustrated during this arc. It's probably
12:24
the one that a lot of you were worried about me watching, you know,
12:28
because I know that for me, when I go through things as the
12:33
spoiled person, I am always aware that there's going to be a spot that
12:39
trips up my my unspoiled co host that if they were going along for this
12:46
by themselves for just the pleasure of it, they may have stopped, you
12:50
know, and I have to convince them that I know what I'm talking about
12:54
and it's worth it to keep going. So in this scene, Don Kreeg
13:03
comes up and he looks pretty close to the costume in the show. I'm
13:09
gonna go ahead and look up Don Kreeg and just see what his outfit looks
13:16
like, because I feel like it's pretty pretty close. Yeah, okay,
13:20
because Don Creek Actually that was also part of it. His outfit is a
13:24
lot less outrageous than most of the villains are. He has a fairly basic
13:33
look. The only thing that is truly surprising and different are the size of
13:39
like the epaulets and the forearm guards and otherwise he just kind of looks like
13:46
a regular guy with armor on and like, you know, a pair of
13:50
slacks and boots and and everything is like gray, you know, so he
13:56
even doesn't look exciting and he comes up and Mihawk says, I'm afraid it's
14:03
time I ended this. Don Kreeg's bounty is seventeen million berries, and he
14:09
says, you've killed my men, destroyed my fleet. Why are you after
14:15
me? And Mihawk says, you woke me from my nap. I really
14:22
don't remember what that is in reference to, but I like to think it's
14:26
quite literally the case, and don Kraig replies, then, allow me to
14:33
make it permanent. And a cannon pops up over his shoulder and he shoots
14:39
with two guns. So we've got a cannonball and the two bullets heading for
14:45
Meehawk all at once. He manages to knock the bullets aside and slice through
14:50
the cannon ball. As he does this, the men coming up behind him,
14:58
who are also don Kreeg's men, get hit with the bullets that have
15:03
flown to either side of him, and the cannonball just falls to the ground
15:09
in halves, and he comes towards dun Kreeg, who is standing there like,
15:18
well shit, I thought I know what I was in for, and
15:22
I didn't. We cut away, We hear him scream because he is still
15:30
on the phone reminder with Garp. And then Mihawk comes back and says,
15:37
apologies, where am I headed? And then we come back to this beach
15:41
and don Kreeg is on the ground apparently dead. Now, you guys,
15:52
I don't know what to think, because I recall that dunk Kreeg is pretty
16:03
injured. If I'm not mistaken in anime, I know that part of it
16:08
was simply also that he was starving, but I can't remember if there was
16:12
an injury as well. I am so hopeful this is not a fake out.
16:23
I want dun Kraig to be dead so badly. You don't understand.
16:27
I was literally cheering and throwing my fists into the air while watching this scene
16:33
because I was like, oh my god, they did it. They really
16:37
did it, and it didn't occur to me until after I got super excited
16:41
that maybe he's not going to turn out to be dead. But this show
16:47
hasn't done that kind of like, oh, he looks like he's dead and
16:49
he's not really thing too much. The only time that it seems like it's
16:55
going to happen is the end of this very episode, because of Zoro and
16:59
his face off with me Hawk, but otherwise it doesn't seem like they do
17:04
that as much in the live action as they do in the anime. So
17:10
I am really really crossing my fingers that it turns out they fucking did this
17:15
for real, because I want to believe everybody out there who has seen this
17:22
show knows that don Kreeg is the worst, and they were just like,
17:26
let's not do that. There are some things that we can all agree are
17:30
sacred. You don't change these things. You fucking honor those They're gonna be
17:36
what everybody's looking forward to. And then there's people like this that everybody is
17:41
like, oh God, yeah that arc and changing them is a blessing and
17:48
a mercy on us all. I am so hopeful, Please God, let
17:53
it, Let it be true, because you know, I don't see.
17:57
The thing that I get caught up up on is that the whole confrontation between
18:03
Meehawk and Zoro goes in this pretty much the way it does in the show,
18:07
with Zoro taking a pretty terrible wound, Mihawk being extremely dismissive of him
18:12
at first, but then being fairly impressed with him by the time. All
18:15
is said and done, and so what I had thought maybe was going to
18:21
happen was that Mihawk was going to wind up taking the place of don Kreek,
18:25
which, from the way this scene goes and how similar it is,
18:30
I don't think he's going to be the case. I feel like there's going
18:32
to have to be a different baddie that turns up here, or they're going
18:37
to skip that whole face off entirely, which actually wouldn't suck because it isn't
18:44
necessary for any other plot point to happen. The only thing that I feel
18:48
like it really lends itself to is because of the overall confusion of everything with
18:55
don Kreeg and the other ships that are all like moored around the Barati,
19:00
that I think that from here is where Uh, oh my god, oh
19:07
my god, guys, what is her name? What is the girl's the
19:11
redhead's name? I can't believe I'm forgetting her name? Nam you guys,
19:17
what the fuck? I just almost called her Mina. I had like a
19:21
dyslexic moment in my own head, like how does that work? Anyway?
19:26
I am wondering if this is the point where she winds up breaking off and
19:30
going off on her own. I can't recall, but anyway, I just
19:36
really really want to believe that's what's going on. And all of this culminates
19:42
in an interesting sort of ooh, sorry, guys, that's my dog.
19:45
He hit his head on the desk. He's over here with me. The
19:52
thing that culminates here is that uh Kobe, who has been listening in on
19:56
the conversation, he overhears what's happening, which is that we've got a vice
20:06
admiral colluding with a pirate to bring in Louviy, and he had already been
20:14
warned. There was a moment that I forgot to mention in the last episode
20:18
where we have a conversation between him and the Haircut, and Haircut is telling
20:30
him you think that he really likes you and is so impressed with you,
20:34
but Garp is only using you because of your relationship to Louviy. And I
20:41
loved the way this went because Kobe says, you're just jealous, and rather
20:48
than even argue, Almepo just says, doesn't mean I'm wrong. I love
20:53
that he just cops to being jealous, but also is like and which enough
21:00
so we get this repeated moment kind of where how MEPO is like explaining to
21:08
Kobe, Yeah, well they were unbeatable pirates, and so the world government
21:15
was like, well, just instead of trying to catch them, we'll have
21:19
them work for us, and we will use them to do the kinds of
21:25
things that we don't want trace back to us. And Kobe kind of starts
21:30
to argue, and how MEPO interrupts and is like, Kobe, you may
21:34
have been on a ship and know your way around a fucking not, but
21:40
you have no goddamn idea how the actual world works. And Kobe winds up
21:45
kind of confronting Garp and being like is it true? And at first Garp
21:53
is just kind of like, I can't believe you were out there listening to
21:56
my phone call. That was really rude. But then pops the fact like,
22:00
yeah, it is true. And I kind of liked the way this
22:04
was handled because instead of Kobe just going with like the righteous indignation, how
22:08
could you? Instead, what he says is if this is how the Marines
22:15
operates, I am not sure I am cut out for this after all,
22:19
you know, instead of trying to be like I am holding you responsible for
22:26
doing this, like thing that betrays the ideals of the Marines. The way
22:33
he talks is like he has accepted that this is the way the Marines really
22:38
works and has like gotten past the oh this is like a personal failing of
22:47
Garp and instead is simply part of the way the system is designed to work,
22:51
which I admire because so much of the time in a story like this,
22:56
you have somebody become disillusioned, but they at first think that there is
23:00
one particular person who is responsible for like breaking the trust that an entire organization
23:07
is meant to represent, and you have to just wait for them to figure
23:11
out that this person is one of many who do the same thing. So
23:15
I'm glad that we got to skip through it and just be like Kobe,
23:18
going, I don't know if I want to do this. And it's an
23:22
interesting like parallel to the stories that you hear from people who become police and
23:29
they start to like see the way police really function, what's expected of them
23:33
just in training in terms of turning a blind eye to stuff and being willing
23:37
to like have somebody's back despite the fact that they are very ethically questionable and
23:48
they oftentimes have a sort of crisis of faith and decide that they can't stomach
23:53
what they are being asked to do, and Garbs like his response here is
24:00
just as frustrating as any cops would be. What he says is essentially he
24:08
doesn't play by their rules as much as they want him to, which is
24:15
why he has never accepted the promotions that they have tried to offer him,
24:21
and if he did, he would lose his freedom. So the implication here
24:26
is that as long as he stays vice Admiral and isn't given a higher position
24:30
than that, he can get away with a lot more without it being held
24:37
against him. Really, which it's sort of a weird thing because you know,
24:42
there's also this argument with police that like, oh, well, I'm
24:47
going to try and change the system from the inside, and that almost feels
24:51
like what Garpe is saying, but there's not really an implication that he wants
24:53
to change the system. It really feels for me like with Loofy, it's
24:56
just he's family and I want to bend the rules for this guy that I
25:00
care about. I just don't I don't really like buy this explanation of like,
25:11
well, yeah, there are some fucked up things, but also in
25:15
the end, the Marines are what stand between us an anarchy and the fact
25:21
that he's like, I need my freedom, I need to be able to
25:25
do what I want to do, but also the Marines need to be around
25:29
to tell everybody what to do. And I'm just like, that's a real
25:33
I really threaten a needle there, sir, And I don't feel like this
25:37
actually makes sense. And I even ultimately he says like, can you live
25:47
with that? Because that's the way it works, is when you become a
25:49
marine, you decide what you can live with. And Kobe just nods,
25:56
and it seems like has accepted what it is that Garp is saying here.
26:02
I can't, like, I can't blame Kobe in the midst of all of
26:07
this. I can understand not wanting to give up on his dream right away
26:12
and being like, well, let's wait it out a little bit further.
26:15
At least Garp didn't, you know, insult his intelligence by arguing whether or
26:22
not this was going on at all. He just immediately cops to it,
26:26
which I can respect. But I just really kind of felt like I wanted
26:32
Kobe to call out what he was saying for the bullshit. It was a
26:36
little bit more so anyway, that's how that goes. We're gonna jump back
26:44
again here and we have all of our friends. They are sailing it in
26:48
a mist and he has been hiding up on the bow and not me.
27:00
Really is like, I need him to explain to us how he never mentioned
27:07
that his grandfather was the vice admiral, a vice admiral in the Marines.
27:12
Like when she says I want him to talk to us about that thing,
27:17
I think it's Zorro who says what thing? And she's like, what do
27:19
you mean what thing? I'm trying to Oh yeah, Usup says, oh
27:26
that, yeah, I don't really know the guy that well doesn't seem like
27:30
a big deal, says Zorro. And she's like, this feels like if
27:36
you're his first mate, you should really know this. And Zorro kind of
27:42
gives her and Oosup will look like do you agree, and Usup just sort
27:48
of grimaces in a like, man, don't get me involved kind of way.
27:52
So Zora goes over to talk to Loofy and the fog. Here,
27:56
guys, it's very intense, like it's pretty fun. Whow Zoro is trying
28:03
to have this talk with Loofy and is so unable to, like he's not
28:07
good at connecting in this way. And then there's like the literal obscuring of
28:14
him with the fog in the background, like he feels so distant in every
28:18
sense. In this scene, he starts out with just like, so,
28:22
how are you doing? Do you want to talk about the battle? And
28:26
Lufy says nope, And he says okay, good talk and comes back to
28:30
Nami and says he seems fine to me. Oh, honestly, I really
28:38
enjoy that. So this is fun. Loofy shoots his head up and says,
28:44
do you guys smell that? And he starts sniffing wildly at the air.
28:48
Now, I just want to put in my appreciation for a detail here.
28:53
I don't know that this is even related, like if it's a non
28:56
purpose thing, but I like to think it is. I don't know how
29:03
many of you have noticed this, but I have a very good sense of
29:06
smell, which is part of why I'm good at cooking, and it is
29:11
extremely noticeable the difference in the variety of sense that I can pick up when
29:18
it is humid versus when it is dry, And that goes for hot weather
29:25
cold weather, like if it's hot and humid, of course even more so,
29:29
but even cold and humid, you pick up a lot more. It's
29:33
part of why having a sion in the house like, it's not even just
29:37
about the cooling factor. It pulls moisture out of the air, which keeps
29:41
everything from smelling a lot more strongly inside of your house. And I like
29:45
to think that this fog is here to like indicate why he is able to
29:55
smell this from so far away in such detail. I am making that up,
30:00
but I just personally like it. And so yeah, smells like butter
30:04
and then he sniffs again and soy sauce. And at this point I went
30:11
yes and just like did a fist punch and O and started laughing. Because
30:15
I knew we were going to see Sonji. Now, I was very very
30:18
excited about it. I didn't look at the title of the episode, so
30:23
I had no idea that's what we were getting. I try not to read
30:26
the titles because they can be very spoilery. So I am. I was
30:33
just so thrilled because I had been wanting to see Sanji and I didn't realize
30:37
how long it was going to be before he joined the crew, which makes
30:40
sense. I'm not complaining it's done well, this is how it should work,
30:44
but I hadn't stopped to think about it. So yeah, this is
30:48
when Lufy is like, oh, there is somebody somewhere cooking. And then
30:52
you see like him on the figurehead like just sniffing and pointing, and he
31:00
is navigating so like three degrees back to port four degrees and he just never
31:10
has ever been able to do this, but now that it's about food,
31:14
he is zeroing in like a fucking bloodhound. And you see this light in
31:18
the distance and they all are just kind of like, wait, what is
31:23
that because they could just about see the sign, and they sail out of
31:32
the fog bank into this big like crystal clear. You know. It seems
31:37
like the bank they were in just ends, and you can see the barati
31:41
with its fish heads sticking out one side with the bar in it, and
31:45
all of these couches and every guy's that looks so fucking cool. I loved
31:52
this so much. What fun? You know? This is stuff like this
31:56
was what drew me to theater Tech in the first place, and gradually I
32:00
began to realize how unlikely it will be that you are involved with something of
32:07
this scale, and even if you are involved, you're just going to be
32:10
asked to do like the reading and executing of plans. It's unlikely you get
32:16
to do the designing. And I just got impatient and bailed. But it's
32:21
moments like this that I'm like, Okay, yeah, this was where a
32:24
lot of that dream was coming from. Because it is just so satisfying to
32:29
see this made real and it really makes me think about in the like some
32:36
of the first episodes of Covering the anime, I was talking about a one
32:40
piece amusement park, and you could use this in that amusement park. You
32:46
could make something like this. It would be a destination. You would have
32:51
to take reservations. Everybody would want to eat at the actual barati that you
32:57
have, like floating in a harbor that you you've made. You know this
33:00
would be such an attraction. But yeah, So Lufy is like, oh,
33:07
I know what we're gonna do next, and Nami says, disguise the
33:13
ship so the Marines can't find us. It's up says, sail back to
33:15
Syrup village where it's safe, and I'm like, why would it be safe
33:19
there? And then I thought maybe it would be because the Marines have already
33:22
hit it, and they wouldn't necessarily find like, they wouldn't necessarily think that
33:25
Lufy double back and go there, And of course Lufy says not, let's
33:31
eat. And I had totally forgotten that Lufy has no money. So what
33:42
ends up happening, of course, is that he can't pay and he gets
33:45
put into a you know, into the kitchen to do dishes to make up
33:51
the bill. I'd forgotten all about that. We have the fucking fish guy,
33:57
the Mayer d forgot all about this. It's so great. There's a
34:00
whole like do you have reservations? No, do I need them? And
34:06
then USAP being like, well, it seems like you don't recognize Loufy,
34:09
and the guy makes it seem like, oh, of course, we'll get
34:12
you a table. But he then whispers under his breath in three weeks while
34:19
USAP and Lufy walk away, so Namy hears it and she pays him.
34:23
She gives him a bribe to get them a table, which succeeds. And
34:30
I have to assume that USAP and Lufy are still under the impression that it
34:35
was his name that got them the table, because they don't know Nami did
34:38
this, you know. So they get seated. It's a really lovely like
34:45
long booth table. I love this bit with Zoro trying to figure out how
34:50
to sit with all of his fucking swords and he has to sort of perch
34:52
on the edge. Oh my god, it's so great, you guys.
35:00
So they're all just like sitting out here waiting to be seen by a waiter.
35:06
And then we go back into the kitchen and we see Sani cooking making
35:12
it looks like this beautiful seared tuna. I don't know what the sauce is,
35:16
but it is exquisite. The plating, it's just for me. That
35:23
is an appetizer, I hope, sir, because that is so very very
35:29
little food. And he is being yelled at by I assume the sous chef,
35:38
saying he's slowing down the line. This isn't on tonight's menu. I
35:44
wouldn't expect you to understand. And this is when he mentions one of the
35:52
blondes out in the dining room, so we get our first taste of the
35:55
fact that he's a bit of a lothario, like that word, a true
36:02
bluefin saute elephant tuna seared asparagus in a sweet soy reduction. I want to
36:12
know what that wafer is that he added. It has the look of coral,
36:20
which is cool, and it reminds me of meltzing parmesan cheese on a
36:25
pan and creating those like little crisps that you can make. But I don't
36:30
know if that's really what it is and they've just added a little red food
36:34
coloring or if it's like an entirely different thing. But yeah, so of
36:38
course Zeph who is the head chef, He's like, yeah, this is
36:45
not on the menu. I didn't ask you to make this, so we're
36:47
getting rid of it. And he goes and puts it on a stack of
36:51
dirty dishes being brought over to the sink so that it's totally intact. Later
36:54
when Loofy comes in so that he can try it, and I love son,
37:00
She says, if I have to do, I have to read this
37:05
line, you guys, because it's if I got a sling one more prime
37:15
rib medium, Well, I'm gonna die of boredom, you old shit bag.
37:29
I'm going to drop dead of boredom. And prime rib medium, well,
37:36
he calls it an insult to the meat. I this the pain that
37:44
he feels. Oh my god, I get it, I really really do
37:49
you guys. I know that it's very easy to look at me and be
37:53
like, of course, the fat girl has strong feelings about food, and
37:57
that's valid, like to a point, it is what it looks like.
38:01
But also I take food very very seriously in a way that a lot of
38:07
people don't. And I think part of where it comes from for me is
38:15
the rarity with which I can afford some ingredients. And I am going to
38:21
find out the exact best way to treat a piece of meat that is going
38:25
to cost what that costs. Like there is there are so many steaks out
38:32
there that are at least like fifty dollars for the one steak, and are
38:38
you going to medium well that like seventy dollars piece of meat? Like why
38:49
you are ruining it? Why? And I feel this way about like in
38:53
a restaurant as well, you're paying even more because you're paying the restaurant price
39:00
and you're gonna order it like that. And I firmly believe that a lot
39:05
of the people who order these things, like you know, the argument that
39:08
I come up against is just let people like things how they like them,
39:12
like they don't have to all. But I firmly believe that a lot of
39:15
people who order things a certain way have simply never tried it in any other
39:22
way, so they don't know what they're missing, which is more of the
39:25
tragedy for me. And I have this a lot with Owen when we first
39:30
got together and I was cooking for him all the time. You guys,
39:32
there were so many foods that he thought he didn't like, and I wound
39:38
up preparing them for him in the way they should be. And it turns
39:43
out he loves these foods. He has only ever had the ruined version of
39:49
them, and so he thought he didn't. And I just look, I'm
39:52
not going to spend too much time on this, but you guys, honestly,
39:55
I just love Sanji and his anger here him calling him an old shit
40:00
bag. I could not stop laughing. So, yeah, he gets sent
40:05
to weight tables and he handles it a lot less like a waiter than he
40:10
does. He almost treats it like he's a somalier, like he's wandering around
40:19
just sort of checking on people and whatnot. And that's not really as Malia's
40:22
job, but you know what I'm saying, Like, I'm trying to think
40:23
it's almost like a host, but even a lot of hosts don't really do
40:28
this manager, I guess would really be the thing. So he swoops out
40:34
and he is getting in between these two dudes who are about to fight.
40:40
One of them is the pink haired dude who winds up being friends with the
40:44
guy that isn't actually in the show. I guess with the heart shaped glasses,
40:47
the McJagger type. But I am really wondering if we're going to see
40:53
more of him or if this is kind of it, this little scene.
40:57
I'm not mad either way. But he had come out. He's got what
41:00
looks like a plate of popovers, and he says, you know, we
41:05
don't do fighting here. And I love this pirate saying there won't be a
41:08
fight. I'm just gonna kill him, and Sanji's trying to smooth it out
41:13
with I'll like, I'd like to pour each of you a glass of whatever
41:17
drink on the house, and I you guys, Then we get our first
41:24
beautiful moment. Pink Hare pulls a gun as the pirate is about to pull
41:30
his own weapon. I don't know what it is. Lufy kicks the gun
41:32
out of his hands, kicks that pirate in the face, and all of
41:39
this, by the way, still holding the plate of popovers, which he
41:43
does not spill because he doesn't waste food. Then he puts them on the
41:47
table and essentially like stomps on pink Hare's face. It is the dopest like
41:53
it's so fast and it's so sudden, and he has been such a restrained,
42:00
polite guy, and then to have him just bust this out, it's
42:05
wonderful. And he picks the plate up again and he just says, no
42:13
cause for alarm, folks, enjoy your meals. And he goes over to
42:16
Lufy's table. I can't you guys, he's so salty. Hi, Welcome
42:24
to our shitty restaurant where the only thing worse than the ambiance is the food.
42:30
My name is SANGI. What can I get for you? Lufy says,
42:36
one of everything, please, one of our signature cocktails to help you
42:39
choke down your meal, and Nammy says, wow, really giving us the
42:45
hard sell. And he looks at her and you see his eyes light up
42:49
a little. Apologies, madam, I didn't see you. There will you
42:52
care for an aparteve before we start, we have several rare mccoa. I
42:59
don't know how to say that, vintages in stock, or perhaps you'd like
43:01
a glass of ume issue, you know, something sweet for someone sweet.
43:07
And he winks at her and she says, is there's something wrong with your
43:10
eye? And he says, just blinded by your beauty. Oh, anyway,
43:20
so they're having two beers. Loofy wants milk, which I feel like
43:25
is in the anime and feels completely on brand. And for Madam water still
43:32
sparkling mineral with ice or without cubed or crushed, and she says, regular
43:39
water in a regular glass. Thanks, And I'm thinking he didn't ask about
43:45
the glass. Nomm me. You didn't say do you want crushed ice?
43:52
Do you want ice at all? You didn't really answer the question. But
43:55
you know she's indicating that she doesn't care. It's just one of those things
44:00
for me. Oh, I'm sorry, Michael, is in the chat.
44:02
I do not have a good sense of smell the sad face. Sometimes that's
44:07
a good thing, Michael. A good chef uses only the best indignance.
44:14
I like that. I think I might steal that Michael. So yeah,
44:20
he says right away, and as he walks away, all the guys give
44:24
Na me these looks, and we have a bit of a moment of like,
44:30
oh, all of us are in on this together, like joking around,
44:32
and it's a real team feeling like we're we have in jokes. And
44:39
you just see Lufy looking like very satisfied with the fact that they're all like
44:44
giggling together here. You know, he looks like this is everything he wanted,
44:50
you know, in that smile that he has. So we have everybody
44:58
getting their drinks, and Lufy says, uh, we need to have a
45:04
toast to celebrate our victory, and of course Usup is willing to do a
45:10
clink glasses with him. Zoro smiles, but Nami is like, what victory
45:19
are we celebrating. I don't know if you've been in a lot of naval
45:23
battles. I love USUP saying two dozen at least, but we were unprepared,
45:31
uncoordinated. By all rights, we should be at the bottom of the
45:36
sea. That was a disaster, and Usup says, but we're not because
45:40
Lufy saved us. And I was wanting her to just say, like,
45:46
well, look no offense us up, but we are definitely going to have
45:50
to get you to learn how to fucking fill a cannon, like at the
45:53
very least. But instead she jumps over to the marine thing and you see
45:59
Lufy sober little bit, and she says, I didn't sign up for that.
46:04
Zoro tries to be like, well, we rated a marine base,
46:07
of course they're going to be after you, and she says, well,
46:12
I rated the marine base by myself to steal a map and slip out without
46:15
them ever seeing me. And then he shows up and we have to completely
46:21
fucking wreck the place. So no, I did not sign up for that.
46:25
That's not part of the deal that I This was all accidental. So
46:30
the bill comes, Loofy writes something at the bottom of it and hands it
46:36
back to Sanji, and Sanji reads it, gets a big smile and says,
46:43
no, sir, thank you, which really the vibe of it is
46:47
that Lufy left an enormous tip, But what it actually is is that he
46:53
knows Zef is going to be really fucking pissed and he cannot wait to deliver
46:57
the bad news. So anyway we come back, Lufy is saying, we
47:02
showed them they can't just roll over us. We can handle anything. And
47:07
here comes Zeph. Who the hell is monkey dee loofy. You seem to
47:14
be confused about the rules of the house, but the Barati does not offer
47:19
credit. You eat, you pay, and Lufy is like, no,
47:22
no, no, See the thing is I have the money, I just
47:27
haven't gotten it yet. Add this to my treasure tab. I may not
47:34
look like a big deal yet, but you're talking with the future king of
47:37
the Pirates. And I love Zeph looking at him like he really doesn't know
47:42
whether this kid is fucking with him or not, Like we know he's dead
47:45
serious, but there would be every reason to think this is all in bad
47:51
faith. So he gets dragged into the kitchen and this is when he tastes
47:58
uh sanji he's cooking that has been left over here, and gives him a
48:04
look like, oh shit, this guy is really good. I think it's
48:09
sort of a shame that Zef won't even taste Sangie's cooking. He calls him
48:14
little egg plant as well, and I can't recall if he calls him that
48:16
in the show, because I didn't watch the dub at that point. I
48:20
was still watching the sub so I feel like it had to have been a
48:22
different little nickname. But yeah, Zef is just telling him, you're never
48:29
going to cook in my restaurant, have you got it? And this is
48:32
when Lufy looks over and is like, oh damn. So we get a
48:39
pretty fun at the bar sequence with our three other friends, where Zoro is
48:47
just like, we have dealt with a lot of bad guys so far,
48:51
Killer Butler's psycho clowns, I don't think that this vice admiral is going to
48:54
be able to do shit to us, and Nami says, you don't get
48:58
it. I can't get caught, not when I'm so close, and stops
49:04
herself before she says anything, and then says, anybody ready for another drink?
49:09
And she takes off over here. We've got us up sucking down one
49:15
of those huge like scorpion bulls, which is meant for two people at minimum,
49:22
by himself and talking about how he doesn't think there's even any alcohol on
49:25
it, and there he says it tastes like candy, and Zoro says,
49:31
the last time I said that, I woke up under a table. So
49:37
Nami goes up to the bar and says, who would I talk to if
49:43
I wanted to secure passion passive passions, you would talk to Sanji madam passage
49:49
to the Kenomi Island. I want to find passage just for myself. I
49:55
think it's interesting. Everybody else talks about money in the plural, like fifteen
50:05
million berries, she always says it in the singular, like it's a fifteen
50:09
million barry bounty. And here when he says like it'll cost you, she
50:16
says, I have barry, which is? It just feels kind of weird,
50:22
do you know what I'm saying? And I don't know if that's purposeful
50:27
in the script that she say it differently than everybody else to indicate something or
50:30
what. But yeah, he tells her to be ready to sail at dawn,
50:35
and you can see her just really considering whether or not she wants to
50:39
do. She hasn't committed yet, you know. And Loofy then has a
50:46
conversation with Sanji about how he tasted his food and he's a really good cook.
50:55
Why is zeph making you wait tables? And Sonchi says, well,
51:00
because he's jealous. I should be running the place. But the old man's
51:02
so stubborn. It'll never happen, and Lufy says, so that's your dream
51:07
to be like the head chef, and Sonji says, no, I like
51:15
I want to go to the West Blue I think is the one for him?
51:21
Or no, the All Blue. I forgot the All Blue. I
51:22
can't believe I did that. He also, by the way, has a
51:24
cigarette here. He did not have a cigarette at all up until this moment,
51:29
and I sort of wondered if he was if we were just not getting
51:31
smoking sonjy at all. I really, as much as I love the cigarette
51:36
thing, I would have kind of understood had they not done it. But
51:39
I'm glad they did. And yeah, he describes the All Blue and all
51:45
of the ingredients that are, you know, the kinds of shit you can
51:51
never find anywhere else, And Lufy says, if you want to cook,
51:57
you should cook. Don't let some stubborn old man get in the way of
52:01
your dream. And he says it in a way that clearly indicates what he's
52:06
talking about is garb. He is not talking about Sonji's situation here. Stand
52:12
up to him and tell him what you want. And Sonji says, it's
52:16
a little more complicated than that. And this dude comes stumbling in at this
52:23
point saying how he is starving? Can somebody please help him? And immediately
52:30
Sonji goes into feed you mode. How does some corn fry corn bee fried
52:37
rice sound? And you know, he's not supposed to be giving away food.
52:40
He shouldn't be doing this, and Patty, who with the sus chef,
52:45
is telling him, you're gonna get in trouble for this. It turns
52:49
out later Zef is glad that Sonji did this, but at the moment it
52:54
looks like the kind of thing he would get, you know, in even
52:59
more trouble. And this dude is eating the food later and it's just like,
53:05
this is unbelievable. This is so good. And I was drifting out
53:07
there for a week, so you definitely saved my life. And Lufy is
53:14
like, well, if this means that he's not only a great chef but
53:17
a great guy, you should join my crew. And when he smiles,
53:24
Lufy says, I'm not joking, I mean it. And when Sonji is
53:32
like, nah, it's not for me, Lufy says, but you aren't
53:38
happy here, and we need to have a good cook if we're going to
53:44
find the one piece. I'm going to find it and become King of the
53:45
Pirates. And I love this dude. We were searching for it too.
53:52
I was part of a mighty pirate armada. Our captain was hell bent on
53:59
finding gold rights treasure, but the grand line was his undoing. We lost
54:05
fifty ships and five thousand men. I was the only survivor, So you
54:13
guys, he says that he's the only I'm really really hoping this means Don
54:16
Creek is actually dead, cause I don't know. I don't remember for sure,
54:21
but I feel like he was with don Kreek in the anime and wandered
54:27
over to the Barrati from don Kreeg's ship. I just really hope. Oh
54:31
my god, I'm sorry. Michael is in the chat saying I love a
54:35
little eggplant as a nickname because it's so cute and also offensive. I hadn't
54:38
really thought about it in terms of like the emoji thing, but yikes,
54:43
that is uh wow wow rough. So yeah, this guy says forget you
54:50
ever heard of the one Piece? And of course Lufy has this expression like,
54:54
well, that's not going to happen as usual. We go out to
55:00
Oosup, who has gotten so drunk that he's dancing. Later on, he
55:05
has like a whole thing where he's telling stories about the shit that they have
55:08
gotten up to, and Nami is looking at him and just chatting with Zoro,
55:16
and he sort of zeros in on the fact that her mood is about
55:22
that she's got some kind of baggage, and they do one of those drinking
55:28
games about how much do you think you know about me? How much looking
55:31
at me? Do you think you could tell about how I grew up and
55:37
the like, you know my background? And he gets it wrong right away,
55:44
saying that she came from like a big city and that she's always been
55:46
a schemer, YadA, YadA, YadA, And of course she's telling him
55:52
like some truth, but as we know, there's a lot about this.
55:58
She says, I bet you didn't have any friends as a kid, and
56:01
she said I had friends, and she says, sorts don't count, and
56:07
he says I had one friend and says drink and I was like, I
56:15
don't know, I kind of feel like one friend that still counts, you
56:24
know, so but yeah, he winds up drinking. Uh. So then
56:32
we get I have to jump ahead here because I'm running out of so much
56:36
time here but Lufy is talking to Zef tells him about Sanji feeding this guy.
56:44
Zeph is very proud of him, and they get interrupted by us up
56:49
coming in to be like, hey, we've got an issue here because Zorro
56:52
has challenged one of the warlords to a fight, to a duel, which
57:00
she accepted, and they want Lufy to convince Zoro not to do this.
57:05
And I really really love when when he's trying to be like, maybe this
57:14
isn't such a great idea, and Zora says, do you remember when I
57:16
was tied up on that cross what I said to you? And Lufy says,
57:21
what makes you think I want to play pirates? No? The other
57:23
thing? I kill your kind for a living. No. Oh, you
57:30
made a promise to somebody that you would be the greatest swordsman in the world,
57:37
and beating this guy is the only way to do it. And Lufy
57:42
is like, well, okay, then you know this is the we're in.
57:46
This is my dream territory. There is absolutely no other language Lufy speaks,
57:52
So as far as he is concerned, he's got to do that.
57:54
I can't get in the way of it. And I had forgotten that Mihawk
58:00
has this tiny little sword that he uses. It's I mean a sword,
58:05
it's not even it's like a pairing knife. I mean, it is really
58:08
so insulting. He says something about how like I don't use a cannon to
58:13
fight rabbits. But yeah, when he sees loofy Meehawk is just like you
58:21
really, I don't uh, I don't really get way. Well, they
58:24
would send me for somebody, so you look small, But I do like
58:29
your hat. It's a good line. So I don't this fight. I
58:37
don't want to do a complete blow, blow by blow. But yeah,
58:44
he pulls that knife out of the cross that's around his neck, and this
58:53
results in obviously, as we all knows, or getting his complete ass kicked.
59:00
Like it is no contest. He is doing his best, and he
59:06
is taking this shit seriously. But even with that one little pairing knife,
59:12
Mihawk is able to like throw him across the deck. And this just keeps
59:16
happening over and over. Everything Zoro brings to the table, he uses about
59:22
one percent of his energy to deflect it, and I the tiniest flick of
59:30
his wrist, Zoro goes flying like one hundred feet. I mean, it's
59:35
serious. And he says fighting is not all about strength, which, when
59:40
you know now about hockey, I think that's what he's talking about here.
59:47
So what ends up happening is that he stabs Zoro in the chest and Zoro
59:57
doesn't back away, and he says, why aren't you retreating? And Zorro
1:00:04
says, basically like, I can't give up on this. I like the
1:00:10
yellow like double circle eyes. They look like targets almost is a weird,
1:00:17
a weird effect. But yeah, he says I can't I or my dream
1:00:25
will be lost forever. I don't feel like that's true. I feel like
1:00:30
you just live to fight another day. And you go and challenge him when
1:00:34
you've grown even further, you don't need to, like what And this is
1:00:38
when you see this dude kind of saying, well, okay, you're brave.
1:00:42
I guess I'll give you that. And he backs away instead and I'll
1:00:46
do you the honor of killing you with Yoru and he pulls his giant fucking
1:00:52
sword, which, as much as that sounds like a very snotty man,
1:00:58
I do think that's an octual honor, Like that's for real, That's what
1:01:01
we're talking about here, right, So this is when Zoro is like,
1:01:06
Okay, now we're doing it, and he does the three sword style with
1:01:09
the katana in his teeth, which looks as ridiculous in this as it ever.
1:01:15
Has the goofiest damn technique I have ever heard of in my life.
1:01:20
And he like combines the blades, spins, goes through and it's an interesting
1:01:30
little moment where he is like kneeling as he slides through, and then all
1:01:36
of a sudden, all the blades begin to fall. Not the one in
1:01:38
his teeth, I don't think. I think that one's fine, but the
1:01:40
blades of the other two katanas just begin to fall apart, and it's a
1:01:46
really sudden thing. I liked this moment a lot, so Mihawk says,
1:01:52
you're defeated. Why do you persist? And Zoro says, wounds on the
1:01:57
back are a swordsman's greatest shame, and Meehawk says, I think he says
1:02:05
exquisite if I'm not mistaken, but yeah, Zora just stands there with his
1:02:08
arms out. He says, magnificent, that's what it is, slashes Zoro
1:02:14
across the chest and Zoro goes down, and Meehawk says, let's see,
1:02:23
Oh yeah, I forgot. Lufy tells him, I'm going to be King
1:02:25
of the Pirates. King of the Pirates. That's a much more treacherous path
1:02:30
and eating than even defeating me. And Lufy says, I don't care,
1:02:38
It's what I'm going to do, and Mihawk gives him a look and sort
1:02:43
of hmm, maybe you will. I like to think that he could see
1:02:49
in Lufy the potential to handle hockey. And then he says to Zorro grows
1:02:57
strong and come find me. I will be waiting and walks away, and
1:03:02
Zorro is left there on the ground, just looking like he's on the verge
1:03:12
of death, which I know he's not, but it is pretty grim.
1:03:16
He says, if I forget, if I fail to become the world's greatest
1:03:20
swordsman, you will be disappointed, right, And Lufy says, you could
1:03:25
never fail me, and Soorro says, never again from now on until I
1:03:38
beat him, and he pulls his weapon, the last one that he has
1:03:46
left, and holds it up and says, I will never lose again.
1:03:52
And I honestly can't recall. I feel like he does lose again, but
1:04:01
ultimately I think he always manages to be victorious in the end, which I
1:04:06
suppose is what actually counts. Anyway, he drops the weapon and goes unconscious
1:04:15
and that's the end of the episode. And I was like, Wow,
1:04:18
Okay, we don't even have soanjy in on this yet. Sorry, Michael
1:04:30
says, I love this fight so much. My question is, does Mihawk
1:04:32
have a medium sized sword other than the extremely tiny dagger and the giant body
1:04:39
sized sword. That's a good question. Maybe he himself. All Right,
1:04:45
everybody, I gotta wrap. Thank you all so much for listening. Hope
1:04:46
you're enjoying the coverage. Thank you Michael for hanging out with me. And
1:04:50
until next week to the loo, motherfuckers. That was an unspoiled network
