Transcript
- 0:27Hello and welcome to another episode of Straw Chat.
- 0:29And this week we're going to be talking about Sanji and the
- 0:32Bharatiya SO. Yes, they've got they get a flag
- 0:40which USOP tries to design his own flag of him.
- 0:44Yeah. And then and then makes the
- 0:46actual straw hat logo. I do love that Johnny and Yosaku
- 0:52show up. They're not important.
- 0:55I can't really say much about them, the fight.
- 1:00Is that the? Is that the the marine that's
- 1:02full of himself? Oh no, it's the two bounty
- 1:04hunters that keep calling several big bro.
- 1:07Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, they're not
- 1:09important at all. The Marine that shows up is
- 1:13Lieutenant Full Body, so he fights the Straw Hats.
- 1:18Luffy deflects a bomb the cannonball towards the Barati
- 1:22restaurant, takes out the roof, and as a payment for the roof,
- 1:26Luffy has to work at the Barati Air for a full year.
- 1:31Yeah. It's not a full year, it's four
- 1:32days in the anime. So there we meet Red Legs Ziff
- 1:39and Sanji, and Sanji's one of the chefs as well, but he's been
- 1:45like, he's a waiter at the moment.
- 1:47He beats a full body in the restaurant.
- 1:49We'll see how cool Sanji is. We get his whole back story
- 1:53about being saved by Red Legs F and them starving 70 days on a
- 1:59rock in the middle of the ocean. I really like his back story.
- 2:03I think it's a right about Assad and the right amount of like
- 2:09motivation to carry him on because he's big thing is Sanji
- 2:14because he's a chef and he's big thing is not to waste food.
- 2:18So they have his background where he was absolutely starving
- 2:22to the point where he's like a twig by the time he goes to the
- 2:25end, starts the Baratia and it's class.
- 2:32Yeah, Sanji is like a proper amazing character as well.
- 2:36And it's a bit crazy that like, Zef, who tried to take over
- 2:41Sanji's ship and steal all the stuff, risked his life and like,
- 2:45lost his leg for Sanji just because Sanji had mentioned the
- 2:49All Blue and he was like, oh, this kid also wants to find the
- 2:52All Blue. I'm going to just end my career
- 2:55so this kid can stay alive. It's mental, but it's quite an
- 3:02emotional back story. It's good character building
- 3:05still. I see.
- 3:08I always thought it was because because you've reminded of him
- 3:12as a kid and he's to say I can't be also being a pirate anymore.
- 3:16I'm going to help this kid and hopefully he can, I don't know,
- 3:20not not be killed by me. Yeah, so Sanji kicks the shit
- 3:26out of Lieutenant Full body in the restaurant.
- 3:29Yeah. I love that Sanji only fights
- 3:31with his feet as well because he wants to keep his hands like
- 3:35pristine to be able to cook with because that he's a chef first
- 3:38in a fight a second. Although in Sanji's case, he
- 3:41probably thinks he's a lover first, then a chef, then a
- 3:44fighter because. Yeah, yeah.
- 3:47It comes across as a proper ladies man, but he is not.
- 3:52Reminds me of Brock from Pokémon.
- 3:55Yeah, he is a bit like that at first, but then he's also like
- 3:59if a woman does like show up and pays him any attention, he's
- 4:03like, Oh no, a girl speaking to us, he turns into a proper
- 4:06little wuss. Yeah, I don't know if he does
- 4:09that as much now, but it does a little bit to start off with and
- 4:18was, Yeah. So Jen the pirate shows up who
- 4:23is from Duncree, Duncreeks crew. He's absolutely starving.
- 4:29He's got no money. Sanji feeds him.
- 4:32He goes away and finds Don Krieg and goes, oh, there's a nice
- 4:35little restaurant here. They'll feed you and look after
- 4:38you. Don Krieg, the massive dickhead
- 4:41that he is, close up the bratty ear and goes, I'm taking this
- 4:45boat and I'm taking it to the ground line.
- 4:48Yeah. It kicks off and there's a big
- 4:51fight between them, well, between Luffy and Don Krieg.
- 4:57Don Krieg, this is a this is a weird one because he is like the
- 5:02most feared pirate in from the East Blue.
- 5:05He set off to the Grand Line with like 100 ships or something
- 5:11and you find out that numbers don't mean anything when it
- 5:15comes to the Grand Line. Doesn't matter how many men you
- 5:18have, they were all taken out by a single pirate, which we.
- 5:23Find. Was it a pirate?
- 5:25Yes. Oh yes, yes, we.
- 5:26Find out it is Dracula, Hawkeye Mihawk who has pulled them back
- 5:33from the Grand Line just because there's no reason that he
- 5:37attacked them. He just, he wasn't having it,
- 5:41wasn't in the best of moods or something like that.
- 5:43And just like, oh, there's some people say I'm just going to
- 5:45kill them and the escape. He follows them back.
- 5:48Zorro goes Oh my God, that's the greatest swordsman in the world.
- 5:52Hawkeye, Mihawk, that's what I want to be.
- 5:55I'm going to fight them. Some will be in nowhere even
- 6:00close to me. Hawk's skill level just loses
- 6:06badly. Like Hawk.
- 6:08Guys like using this tiny little like knife to fight them.
- 6:12Yeah, like a letter opener. Yeah, but during the fight, me
- 6:18Hawk can comes to respect Zorro. Yeah.
- 6:23And he's like, Oh well, I've defeated you, but go and get
- 6:27better, improve your skills, and then come and find us again one
- 6:31day. Yeah, I see.
- 6:33I love this because it's the first time where they've
- 6:36actually come across someone who's actually posed a threat
- 6:41when you when you've had the other fights, I've always
- 6:43thought, well, they're going to win.
- 6:46And then this is the first time where, oh shit no, they've
- 6:49actually lost. Yeah, so Dracula me Hawk is also
- 6:54one of the seven Warlords of the Sea.
- 6:57I think this is the first time we actually meet one of them or
- 6:59one of them is really mentioned properly.
- 7:03And he's also the greatest swordsman in the world.
- 7:07I think we find out in this saga as well that he used to have
- 7:12like just the occasional fight with Shanks.
- 7:16So that also tells us that Shanks is hard as out.
- 7:21Yeah. If Shanks.
- 7:22Is managing devil fruit? Yeah, Shank.
- 7:24Neither of them have a devil fruit, but Shanks is able to go
- 7:28toe to toe with the greatest swordsman in the world.
- 7:31Yeah. So that kind of gives you a bit
- 7:34of an impression on how tough Shanks is.
- 7:40Zorro is absolutely discombobulated.
- 7:44He's got to hanging out. He's just been wrapped up.
- 7:49Luffy fights Don Krieg. How did you feel about the Don
- 7:52Krieg fight? It kind of as soon as the
- 7:59Dracula guy turned up. I thought it was more of a
- 8:03background fight, you know what I mean?
- 8:06Like me attention was completely on this weird swordsman who came
- 8:11essentially on a one man sailboat and absolutely
- 8:15annihilated Zorro and I was kind of like, I want to see more of
- 8:19him. Yeah, And even in the live
- 8:23action, that made Don Krieg just a minuscule background character
- 8:28of Hawkeye getting a call to come and go to Baratia and,
- 8:33like, stomp Luffy or something like that.
- 8:36And he's just like, oh, hang on, I've just got something to take
- 8:38care of. And Don Krieg's just there.
- 8:40And he just goes, oh, there we go.
- 8:41You're dead and Don Krieg's in it for like 5 seconds.
- 8:45But yeah, in the anime is like a main part of this arc and he's
- 8:52basically spent all of his money on all of these like cool
- 8:55gadgets like special armor and spike cannons, things like that.
- 9:01And again. All the yeah, no idea.
- 9:04Yeah, Money doesn't equal power when it comes to fighting
- 9:09somebody that actually knows what they're doing, like Luffy.
- 9:12Yeah, Yeah. Is there much else in this?
- 9:19Is the weird Pearl guy the. Who guy?
- 9:23As well, that one of his Greeks henchman, the Pearl guy who
- 9:28actually puts a dent in Luffy. Johnny.
- 9:33Yeah. And he's just like, oh, well,
- 9:36he's he's never been hit. And then I think Luffy
- 9:39accidentally nuts him. Oh yes, this goes on a wobbler.
- 9:44Oh, that was good. Nami steals the go and marry
- 9:50after she sees a poster of All Along and the two bounty hunt
- 9:55bounty hunter guys are like oh she's gonna have to capture All
- 9:58Along. Yeah.
- 10:00And Stan G Giants, the Straw Hat crew and seals off from the
- 10:08bratty Yeah. On the Baratis little ship, I do
- 10:14love the Baratis little little defences because they've got
- 10:17the, the ship with the cannons on the front.
- 10:21And I love the the fighting chefs as well, where they're
- 10:24just like, we're pirates. We'll love to scuffle and fight,
- 10:27but we'll just love to feed people.
- 10:29And I just, I know obviously every every pirate crew has
- 10:34their own theme, but I really like this one where it's just
- 10:37like you see chefs, it's like I've worked in kitchens before
- 10:41and you know that they've always got like a rollie hanging out
- 10:44the mouth and they're always up for a fight.
- 10:47So kind of it kind of goes. I do love like, the air, the
- 10:52smoking stuff. So, I mean, this hasn't really
- 10:56happened much. Happened like maybe once or
- 10:59twice so far from what you've seen.
- 11:01But you know, Sanji means business when he lights his
- 11:03cigarettes like the camera roll just cut to like the bottom half
- 11:08of his face and it's just him lighting a cigarette.
- 11:10And he'd be like, well, well, well, what's going on here then?
- 11:13And it's like, oh, Sanju's coming, shit's going down.
- 11:19You get he gets that special tab power.
- 11:24And the only question or mystery from this arc is the all blue.
- 11:30Looks like the the dream that Sangie and Ziff have is that
- 11:35they want to find the All blue which is a sea connected where
- 11:40all four oceans connect. But how can this possibly exist
- 11:45when the N blue and the E blue exists?
- 11:48No, the N blue and the W blue exist on one side of the red
- 11:51line which is the land mass in the middle, and then the east
- 11:55and S blue exist on the other side that don't meet in the
- 11:58middle. So.
- 12:03See, I was because the what's he called the red, the red leg guy.
- 12:08Oh. Red legs there.
- 12:10Red Legs. Yeah.
- 12:12How come he doesn't? He doesn't know about it, but
- 12:16he's been where all of the oceans converge on the uphill
- 12:20mountain, the reverse mountain. So that is a water where all the
- 12:25waters combine. Even if you're anywhere around
- 12:28that area, which he's been. He's been sailed the air ground
- 12:31line. You would have the potential to
- 12:35have all of the unless it's a big whale and all of the
- 12:38creatures and all of the fish. I mean I know what you mean.
- 12:41Like on the map it does have them all like converging there,
- 12:44but it's not really a sea, it's just like a river.
- 12:48So it's not like the all blue sea like like the E blue sea, N
- 12:54blue sea, W blue, S blue. Right.
- 12:58There's theories about the all blue and the biggest 1 is that
- 13:04the red line will be destroyed. I don't know how the red line
- 13:09will be destroyed. Like I think you see in one of
- 13:12the next arcs laboons like bashing his head against the red
- 13:15line. Yeah.
- 13:16Yeah, yeah. Trying to break like the wall
- 13:18down or something and it's like that can't be done.
- 13:21The fact that they mentioned it can't be done does make us think
- 13:24that it will be done at some point.
- 13:27Yeah. Yeah.
- 13:29So if that if the red line is destroyed in the middle, then
- 13:33all of the Seas will connect and create the all blue that can.
- 13:37That can be only be the only possibility.
- 13:41So I can see one major flow with this.
- 13:45So if if all of the hosts say that interconnection was broken,
- 13:50the red line, there's a thing like fish and sea life stay in
- 13:57certain biomes. So they'll be like a fish from,
- 14:00yeah, Antarctica. Can it live off the coast of
- 14:04Africa because it's too hot or vice versa because it's too
- 14:07cold? So.
- 14:11Yeah, I mean movie magic. Let's just put it down to that.
- 14:18Paul. Paul.
- 14:18'S favorite thing. I might be thinking too much in
- 14:20movie magic. What's next is All Along Park.
