OK, make sure. And Corey, you already read it.
(00:23):
You know you said that you don'tread it until you stream it.
Yeah, I read it. I did it a little bit earlier
half and then I did Jojo's. And how was your Jojo's chapter
today? Wow actually good I had to
change my mind on my opinion about Jodio.
I was calling him a fraud for like the whole series so far and
this chapter had to make me change my mind.
He cooked all. Right, Chester?
Are you a Jojo's fan? I am a Jojo's fan but I don't
(00:44):
read the mango for it unfortunately.
Well, I am a newfound fan. I am currently on Golden Wind as
we speak, so I'm still working my way up.
Are you reading it or watching it?
I am watching it, I am watching it, but when I catch up I do
plan on reading it. Steel.
Ball run is about to come out so.
As I'm told, I've been told, so are you guys have been hyping up
(01:08):
steel ball run for the longest time?
I'm scared now because every time we hype stuff up to you,
you find a way to be like. No, that's but you know what
Jojo's has been hyped up for forsuch a long time and I still
managed to enjoy it to a very high degree.
So that Stan Sir does not is notvalid all.
(01:29):
Right, well, let's, let's pray. Pray for the best.
It's only happened with two things.
Severance, Severance. You guys hyped up Severance and
ran it into the ground and yeah,it disappointed me.
I don't know if you watch the severance chestnut.
I don't know what that is. So you look at that.
(01:49):
It's an Apple TV show. We'll we'll save you.
But it's it's a very, very well acclaimed show that Danny would
just like to say to Chief. I it is well acclaimed, I will
give it all its flowers, but it is a very solid 7 out of 10.
Yeah, interesting. You know what?
I've never heard of any Apple TVshow ever.
So this is the first time I'm hearing of this.
Oh, we, we, we sing its praises over here.
(02:11):
Apple TV not it's not about velocity, it's quality.
OK, they have some. Apple TV Really.
Yeah, they really do. They just are terrible at
promoting their stuff. Yeah, I've never heard of any
Apple TV thing. I even I thought it was just
like. No.
The morning show. No.
(02:32):
Shrinking. I don't know any of these.
I mean, hold up, let me look. You know what, I'm so happy for
you because now you just have a plethora of content.
To well now we're potting because now we have questions.
So what have you been watching? What do you watch outside of
anime stuff? I only watch I only watch anime
like I don't I don't watch live action stuff.
Well I watch like anime cartoonsright?
(02:55):
But I just watch really bad Isakai's constantly and it ruins
my mood. We.
We we, we respect the chokehold that the Isakai.
It's a toxic relationship, you know what I mean?
Like, you know what it is. You know what they're going to
do to you. But it's nothing wrong with a
little bit of Mushko Tensei. It's it's and it you know what?
(03:16):
And it and it's never good like after like that original slime,
like you're like, yo slime is sogood.
Overlord Peak, you're like Shadow of Eminence is really
funny. And then it's like my skills as
the assassin are are greater than the hero.
And you're like, this is dog water.
This is straight. Booty cheeks and you're like,
why am I watching this? And then like villainous animes.
(03:37):
I've watched every villainous anime and every time I'm like
this is so good Like the one where it's like the business
worker and like he gets like into the the villainous 1 and
he's like a girl and he's like helping the main character by
being like a dad and it's reallygood.
I was like, oh, that was it's great are all.
There at the moment. It's hold up, what is it called?
What is it called? It's like I think when it's on
(04:03):
high dive. I think when it comes to isekai,
I think isekai is kind of just like comfort, you know, kind of
like how like reality TV is comfort media for people or for
me, like horror movies are a comfort form of content for me.
Yeah, one of my favorite ones this year was Red Ranger gets
sent to another world. Did you please tell me you
(04:26):
watched that one? The the the one where it's like
the power Ranger one. I've watched like I've watched
the first episode of it. It was, it was very funny.
I've watched the first episode of like every anime.
You give this, give this one the12.
We beg you give. It the 12, we're only going to
get 12. You might, yeah.
I don't. We don't see it again in Season
(04:47):
2. This might go into season 2
jail. I don't think a single soul
watched it. I don't comfortably recommend
this show to people usually, butbecause I know that you do seem
to respect or a. Connoisseur.
A connoisseur Red Ranger will die on this hill.
You you want to know who originally told me to watch
that? My dad because he watches every
(05:07):
anime. Household.
This is hereditary. Good.
This is this is what they said behind this family.
This is what they meant when they said an FO piece.
This is a family. Just what I can't.
You don't want to watch. No, she can watch the MCU, but
she won't watch a single piece of anime.
(05:27):
My mom's obsessed. She's watched my hero like 7
times. I'm like, please, there's other
ones. And she's like fairy tale again.
Fairy tale again? What about to be Hero X?
Are you guys on that? I know of To be Hero XI, haven't
watched it yet. If your mom is that obsessed
with my hero, tell her to watch to be Hero XI.
(05:48):
Promise you she'll never put on my hero again, Yeah?
TV Hero X is in our like anime of the year like category for
us. Like it's.
I've heard it's good. It's got no promotion.
Nobody talked about it, not a soul.
And. Just like Apple TV.
Just like Apple. TV just like Apple TV.
It's terrible because like you go on Crunchyroll and like you
(06:09):
see other other shows, like constantly, right?
Even shows that came out five years ago and yet to be Hero X
is delivering on a week to week basis with stunning animation
and it's just nowhere to be seen.
You have to go to the search barjust to find it.
Put it on my watch list, it's not there.
It's because Crunchyroll wants solo level and then it went so
bad. Yeah, they like.
(06:29):
What are your thoughts and opinions of solo leveling?
I like solo leveling. I think solo leveling is really
good for what it is. It is an action filled thank you
leveling up thing. It has great animation.
I I think that because it's so popular, I think it it was
absolutely in the conversation of anime at the air just because
so many people watched it first introduction to the manual
(06:51):
genre. Is it better than free run?
No, but like it's it's it's mindless fun and it has like a
good sense of mystery with the world.
I don't know. I I understand why people hated
on it because of the free run stuff, but I also think that it
was over hated. I I really enjoyed solo
leveling. I love the way you faced.
(07:12):
It it was a big pendulum swing. I think the the overglaze led to
what needed to be the over hate to correct and bring balance and
for us to just stop talking about it for the rest of the
year. Yeah, bring, bring balance.
Honestly, way to put it, it feels like an esec I almost you
know, you know, like other like you're going to other worlds
overpowered MC. Everyone's glazing this man
(07:34):
towards the end. It's just like it's giving ESEC
I. It it really is.
And I think I think that's why it got so popular.
I think people really like isakai genre like Isakai is
comfort and that's why they're all that's why they make so many
like why is there like I Got reincarnated as a vending
machine? Because people really like the
genre. That's garbage, by the way.
Don't let anybody tell you it's.Absolute.
(07:56):
Absolute garbage. There's there's no redeeming
qualities. So it's like why do people like
like these overpowered things? Like what is the like misfit of
Demon Academy? Absolute Doo Doo garbage has no
story. There's no stakes in the story.
This dude like gets into a situation and then he's like,
oh, wait, I'm powerful and then that's it, right.
So it's like there's there's nothing there, but people like
(08:17):
it because it's so comfortable and it's like, it's just it.
It'll never be as good as slime.None of them will ever reach the
the amazing story writing and world building as reincarnated
as a slime. Yeah, but what about Mushoku
Tente though? I like Mushoku Tente.
I haven't finished it. It's fine.
It's a little weird, so it's sometimes.
(08:38):
It is. It's a.
Lot of weird. It's a lot of weird we.
We don't recommend it here on the moon piece.
We never tell people you should watch it, but we watch it.
But we watch it. It's it, it's tough some of the
scenes to get through. You're like.
But totally. Fair.
The story is so good. It's like if you just take that
out, just. Stop being weird.
Just stop being weird man. Every anime has like one or two
(08:59):
things where it's just like, didyou really have to do that?
You scaring the olds? Oh my God.
One of one of the one that I never get to talk about is you
ever heard of Welcome to Demon school, Iruma Coon.
I love Welcome to demon school, Iruma Coon.
It's so good. It's so good bro, it's so good.
Like Iruma is just funny. Iruma is just the goal.
(09:22):
He, he just, I haven't watched that. 10 It's just a.
Good one. And yeah, when I say he's the
goal, I'm not saying like you about to see him really like
throw crazy hands or do nothing crazy, but he's a different type
of goat. He's in he's he's when I think
when it comes to Isakai protagonists and what he did
with getting Isakai, he's legendary.
(09:45):
OK, I'll, I'll, I'll give you the first episode at least
tonight. You might not like the first
episode. I I think I think it's fun if
you if you go into it and you'relike, this is like a really fun,
like Isakai esque anime, like the main character is has like
his own personality. It's not it, it has like harem
(10:07):
elements, but it's not a crazy harem, which is great.
It's just like people are like, oh, he's really cute because
he's like a good person. So I'm crushing on him, but it's
not like Oh my God Sempi, noticeme.
I was going to say, yeah, he does.
He does not give that appearancein that picture.
I just looked. Up.
He's a super chill guy. Yeah, he's he's like a very,
he's like a very stand up person.
(10:28):
I I can't stand the harem elements of some shows.
It's it's bad. Yeah, it's exaggerated, but
again, it's like one of those tropes that you just have to
like. It's like part of the game.
All right, Well, thank you againfor coming through.
Chestnut. We want to introduce you to
(10:48):
guys. We have a special guest.
First time on the stream, Chestnut Tanooki, huh Self one
of the pills. I believe in the One Piece
community, even if she may not see it that way.
That's how I see you. Been a fan of what you've been
doing for a long time. You know, we just started
recently creating and having a podcast and things like that,
but big fan of what you know, you've done in the YouTube
(11:11):
space. So it means a lot, you know, I
know you have a crazy busy schedule.
I've been basically harassing you for like 2 months now.
So really, really thank you. Oh bet, thank you for working

insane like my mom's car just got.

A piece of construction fell into the middle.
(11:33):
Your audio is going out a littlebit.
Sorry. So a piece of construction fell
in the middle of the road, took out our transmission, our gas
tank, everything. Yeah, I, this is what I'm
talking about. When I'm just like my life, I,
I, I have terrible luck. Anybody will tell you I just
have bad luck. So it's been like that.
And then like, it's just been work and like, something would
(11:56):
happen. And then it'd be like, Phoebe,
we need you. And I'm like, no way.
No. I'm like, no.
This is why you can't be that person at work.
I know well. And she's literally saving
lives. Yeah, I mean it's been.
Like it's been crazy. So I feel, I feel so I felt so
bad. I was like, I was like, Oh my
gosh. And especially because like
(12:16):
Twitter DMS don't even work for me anymore.
That's why I was like, bro, because they updated it.
So it's like they don't they don't like send.
I gotta tell people I'm like, you just gotta text me.
I'm not gonna get anything on Twitter DMS.
But thank you so much for working with me and getting me
on Cuz I felt like terrible. I was like, man, I thought I
would do it this day and this day.
(12:37):
And then we had no chapter and Iwas like just killing me bro.
Listen, we, we are, we are all adults fighting for our lives
over here. So we totally understand that
we're trying to balance doing this stuff that's for the love
of the game, for funsies with what a really, really real
situation. So we really do appreciate you
taking the time. It means a lot for us on a
Sunday night, especially becauseI know you had like Christmas
(12:59):

stuff like that. So we have a super chat from
Marco who likes to bother. Seeing.
This question $2.00 super chat. Thank you again.
Marco Chestnut What's your favorite pizza and pizza spot?
Hashtag the quarry tax. I love this.
I love this trend. I don't know why there's a
(13:20):
quarry tax guys, it doesn't exist.
Should I say like my favorite pizza ever or like my favorite
pizza like in Buffalo? Because I got I got two
different ones. Pizza ever.
Just pizza ever. Pizza.
Ever. It's Mark will be trying to dox
us so don't answer the pizza spot.
Oh, oh geez, it's it's two Bros in New York City.
(13:40):
Two Bros OK. I love, I love that pizza.
Two Bros is classic. It's all over the place bro.
Yep it is. For the right price, it's not
overpriced like the rest of the pizza.
I've never seen this pizza before.
Really. So.
Good, it's good. That's a good.
Place. I'll try it.
I'll try it. So what's your favorite type of
pizza? I like, I like New York style
(14:03):
pizza. I think Buffalo pizza like like.
The Buffalo chicken. No, like, so, so like, you know,
like the Buffalo Bills, right? Right, right, right.
The team. You go, yeah, like, so you go to
a Bills game, you get like, justa slice of, like, thick pizza
with blue cheese. Wait, what?
Blue. Cheese.
When you say thick pizza, you mean like Sicilian?
Like a Sicilian slice. So like the pizza in Buffalo is
(14:27):
like thicker, so it has like a little bit thicker crust.
So you get like my favorite place used to be like, well,
they have like like a couple places that like close down.
It's the one place I'm also trying not to dox myself because
I'm saying they're close by. Roby, Roby trying to smoke us.
(14:51):
That's why I'm like, we hate when he asks the question of
where. I've never heard of blue cheese
on pizza. What?
I feel like you just dip it if you dip it.
Yeah. I also don't like cheese.
So what? I don't like blue cheese.
Orange. I'm not I'm.
You don't like You don't like a stinky cheese.
You don't like a like a Gorgonzola?
Blue cheese, blue cheese and Buffalo.
It's stinky though. It's, it's different.
(15:13):
It's built. It's it's genuinely built
different. Well, I got it.
I mean, Buffalo, they say. That's like the home of the
Buffalo wing, right? Yeah, that's where it was
created at Anchor Bar. Anchor Bar.
And then Duffs also said they did it, but they didn't.
But I mean, the best, the best wing you could have is like from
Barbell. Like that's like the best wing
in America, hands down. Yeah, one of our boys, Spencer
(15:34):
Spencer's from Buffalo. I have no idea.
He's a, he's a Cos player. He's also from up there, so he's
a big Bells fan. Let's see.
You know what, I think I've beento Anchor Bar because I went to
Buffalo one time on my way to the Niagara Falls.
And, you know, obviously we wanted to go to the to the
(15:56):
place. I think we got these like famous
wings, but they were just so spicy that like I couldn't even
taste anything else after like the first wing.
Yeah, sometimes they can be pretty hot like you.
You have to get like I'm. Frail.
I can't. Just to sightsee, Yeah.
Well, it's so like if you get mild wings here, it's like fine.
But if you get hot wings, it really depends because sometimes
(16:16):
hot wings are like totally normal like how you'd get it
like Buffalo Wild Wings or like wing stop or something.
But if you like, if you go to like any of the actual bars,
like any of the real wing spots,if you get hot wings like
prepare to to. Prepare for trouble.
Yeah, prepare. Prepare your booty hole, because
you will be. You will be pooping in the
morning like it's gonna be hot. Right.
(16:38):
I love wing stop after like a night out.
Oh my God, wing stop hits. So my God, this is becoming the
food stream. This is about One Piece.
This is always your fault, Marco.
So we let's let's get back on track.
Let's kind of get to know you a little bit more in regards to
your relationship with One Piece.
How, how did you kind of get started and how did you get kind
(16:58):
of started? What inspired you to start?
I guess creating content as wellwith One Piece.
That's kind of interesting. So I, I started reading during
COVID where I always knew about One Piece.
I was like an anime fan way before then my first animes for
like Love Live and Fate 0. So I like, I like got into it
relatively early, but I was like, oh, One Piece is too long.
(17:19):
Like I'm never gonna get into it.
And then COVID hit and I was like, well, I don't really have
an excuse. So I started reading it and I
really liked it. I was like, oh, this is great.
Like it was a great story and then I went on Tiktok and I saw
the most brain dead thing I could ever.
I don't even know what the videowas but I was like there is no
way people are genuinely making this content.
(17:39):
I could make something better. And so I did.
I was like, I can't I it was, I think it was a Naruto and Luffy
take, but the take was so bad. It like springboarded me until
like I need to make content because like if this is what's
getting out there, I'm in trouble.
(18:01):
You had to educate the people, the masses.
Yeah, and it's like, and then I just started making theory stuff
because I was like, I was like, somebody needs to put something
out there that because I think alot of the content used to be
like really negative, a lot of power scaling, a lot of this.
So like my thing is like I, I wanted to do like theories and
like get videos with theories and that's and that's kind of
like where I like to stick for. I'll make like power scaling
(18:23):
jokes. I don't like power scaling.
I think power scaling always gets really toxic.
My thing was always stories, story analysis, theories, scene
analysis. And that's really what I wanted
to kind of put out. And it's like when, when that
stuff was well, and that's, that's what I, I like to do is
like if something I can theorizeor I can put a new spin on it or
get a new perspective. Like that's why I kind of wanted
to start making content because I didn't want to have like only
(18:46):
negative power scaling, even though it was fun.
Yeah. There's always moments when it
like we I'm one of the a big component with me One piece.
I'm story first. Honestly, sometimes Danny will
try to pull me into a little bitof power scale and stuff, but
it's it doesn't really bring me as much joy when talking about
the series just because, you know, I feel like the series has
so much themes and such the world building and just
(19:09):
different ways to kind of, you know, apply what is telling you
to some of our real lives and things going on in the real
world. So I don't ignore those things.
So I totally respect, you know, your like view and how you
choose to go, you know, through the series and things like that.
Because it's like so political, like the entire, the entire
story is so political. And it's like you're looking at
like stuff that happens in the story and then you're like, oh,
(19:31):
this is what's happening IRL. And you're like you're.
Like what this is going on over here?
They're throwing revolutionariesbefore.
Oh yeah, Danny's been like a long time.
Like he's he's been here since the dawn of time, essentially.
Yeah, that's why I like to roll around in the mud sometimes in
power scale. Cuz you know, back in the day,
that's all you could do. That's all you could do.
(19:52):
And that's, and that's really all there was like when you're,
when you're looking at stuff like just everybody with power
scale and, and I think, I think it used to be so fun.
I think recently it's gotten a little toxic, which is kind of
why I've, I've backed off a little bit cuz I'm like, if I
can't make just like fun videos,I don't want to, you know, make
like, I just want to talk about kind of the story and analysis.
But I, I mean, you, you've seen me on like streams probably with
(20:12):
like coal and. I've argued.
I remember I was arguing with par vision.
I don't know if you guys know who par vision.
Is Paul, Yeah. I yeah, we know.
I had, I think it was like an hour debate on who is the better
scientist and we were power scaling Caesar clown and judge
and I was, I was pull out screaming.
I, I, I, I was saying Caesar. I was saying Caesar clown.
(20:34):
I was like. I'm saying Caesar clown.
I I was like, I was like Caesar Clown.
Gangsta Gastino. Damn, they made giants.
But he didn't. But so, so he like he, he not
only got that, but then he also created like the smile fruits.
And it's like those are completely different from devil
fruits because they were taking like some.
Different DNA. Fruits.
(20:55):
Yeah, you have fruits. But when you think about it,
like devil fruits are completelydifferent.
Like what Vega Punk did is he cloned a devil fruit by taking
his DNA. What Caesar did is that he took
animal DNA and made it so that he could give people animal
powers. So even though like he didn't
clone a devil fruit, he created his own new power system with
like the smile fruits. And that was my argument and me.
(21:18):
And Judge created an army. Yeah, he created like modified
people, but it's like. Super powered kids.
He created Mutant Children. But they were all based on
something that was like previously, where it's like
Caesar created something totallynew, where Judge was like, oh, I
saw, I saw that. So I'm going to like copy that
words like Caesar was like, oh, I'm making a brand new Devil
fruit. Raid suits don't do anything for
(21:40):
you guys. That's just Frankie could do
that bro He hasn't. He could I'd.
Have had he, I mean he don't have made like crazy robot
suits. Don't know yeah, but the the
raid suit fit he acquits the camera it's.
A. He made a Gundam.
Ants. The raid suit is like the Iron
Man suit. It's like 2 steps away from.
(22:02):
That I believe you're picking Judge right now.
I I'm just saying the conversations, there's a
conversation to be had. The conversation is being had.
Who are you picking, brother? We're not about to have another
hour long discussion on something that she's already
talking. About it doesn't have to be an
hour she's. Already got her bullet.
Point it's probably I'm under prepared, under prepared, you
(22:23):
know the story. You're you're just siding with
her. No, to be nice.
I already picked Caesar, she started saying.
I I'm just saying there's a conversation to be had.
I, I, I don't know why you picked Caesar so fast.
It's fine for her to pick Caesarbecause she's done the research.
And I don't need to do much research.
(22:44):
It's sees off the Dome. Like he also he also helped
chopper like develop the like the rumble.
Ball. I think I just, I just think, I
just think Cesar Clout is is underrated.
I think, I think he. Yeah.
I agree his repertoire is crazy.He just, he just didn't do
everything. And like that was that was my
(23:05):
thing. But I, I thought, I thought that
was a fun argument. But and you know, and I like to
dabble. I like to dabble in in trolling.
And see, that's not power skilling.
That's that's a, that's a good, that's a good conversation.
We're choosing who's winning theNobel Prize.
Exactly. Well, the the evil Nobel Prize,
the anti. Yeah, yeah.
You know Mads. It's always, it always depends
on who's using the weapon, you know what I mean?
(23:28):
I mean, Judge is king of the castle, so.
Pirates are evil. The Navy is good.
Yeah, Victor decides. Politics.
Oh man, oh man, we already get in the blood boiling early and
I'm good. Just just so we also see one
more question before we get intothe chapter.
If you can if and it's fine if you don't want to right now.
(23:49):
If you want to think about it, do you have a straw hat ranking?
How you rank them in order? Oh, absolutely.
OK. Number one is Nami.
I love that. All right, off the Dome.
So #1 is Nami. Number 2 is Zorro #3.
Probably gonna go Luffy, then Robin, then Chopper, Jimbei,
(24:13):
Sanji, Usop, Brooke. I think I named everybody.
Did I say Chopper? Yeah, I said Chopper.
Yeah, you did. I think I went through
everybody. Who was after Nami?
I missed that part. Zorro.
Wow. All right, so.
Savannah was movie. The gap between Zorro and Sanji
just it just got bigger and bigger and bigger.
(24:34):
So not a Sanji. Fan so so there's I assume so
there's there's a reason why I dislike Sanji, and it's because
I actually really like I really like Sanji up until Fishman
Island and I got to Fishman Island and Fishman island.
The anime arc is abysmal, unfortunately, even though it's
so good and like if you go back and you like read the story and
(24:55):
you look at like, like I said, II watched that like that, that
edited down version of one piece.
It's so much better and Fishman island was so much more
enjoyable. But you're you're like sitting
through Fishman Island. And then you have the scene with
Sanji and every it's like he's he's actively hurting the Straw
(25:15):
Hats because he's gooning too much.
And it's like, I cannot get behind the gooner.
And it's like ODA has like triedthen to kind of walk that back
and make him a bit better. And then every time he does,
it's like now Sanji is invisiblein the women's bathroom again.
And you're like. It's oldest fault.
It's not Sanji's fault. It's just every time Sanji is
(25:39):
like, you're like, oh, this is really, this is a cool moment
from Sanji. It's like, remember, he's
gooning and you're like, Oh my God, not a gun.
But like in Sanji's defense, oldgeneration, they were all
gooning for shopping, so. Like, yeah, Goon Valley, come
on. He's.
Just another guy. He's just another guy.
(26:00):
Zorro just so habit to not be attracted to anything.
It's just. Zorro just hasn't found his
shocky. We we understand we are a Sanji
household. We're not Zorro haters though,
but we are Sanji household. It just hurt.
I know I'm like the only, I'm like the only one who'd like it
just. Hurts to see the gap.
Yeah, and I and I. Like where gym base above Sanji
(26:23):
is crazy. I I think gym base super
underrated. I think gym base super
underrated. He's great.
I got that 100%. But I just, I don't know.
I just don't think I just don't think I can say I enjoy Sanji
more than than other characters.Not saying that I hate him, but
I I mean Fishman island I I hated him.
(26:43):
Fishman Island. I was like, get him off my.
Screen A. 100% valid criticisms.We we hear you and we're at
peace with him as well. Yes, I wait.
Because, you know, we can't blame you.
Yeah, we're not going to be like, no, ignore it, ignore it
never happened. You were Jedi mind tricked.
(27:03):
Oh my gosh. How did you feel about God
Valley? I loved it.
I thought it was one of the greatest, like flashbacks in One
Piece. It was just brilliant.
I think. I thought everything was
brilliantly done. I thought that they tied
everything together. I thought everything made sense.
I liked it a lot. How did you feel about rocks?
Oh my God, he's perfect. I've always been like Blackbeard
(27:27):
Stan rock supporter. And I was like, Rocks is the the
greatest of all time. Like I was like, they're they're
lying about him. He's not, you know, as evil as
he's saying. And I remember as I was going
through the chapters and I was telling him who's one of my IRL
best friends, content creator I do a lot of stuff with and I was
like telling her I was like, rocks is not evil.
(27:48):
Like, like he's not a bad persondoing that.
That's what I was saying and andit was always this argument and
then you know what I mean, like.They paid out, they paid out.
So what I heard too was that you're a Blackbeard supporter,
Yes. Is this true?
I, I, I do think he's going to be final villain.
(28:09):
I think he's a great villain. I think he's one of the best
written villains. Final.
Oh yeah, for. Sure.
What are your thoughts then on those theories out there that
you know Luffy and Blackbeard are going to team up against the
big bad Emu? Oh, your mic cut out.
That's big. I got to get like a new cable.
(28:30):
I have like a yeah, I got to geta new XLR cable for this because
this is like a good microphone. I think actually we have.
The same one, Yeah, we have the same one, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Industry standard.
Industry standard is crazy. Gone is the blue Yeti.
Shadow round the blue Yeti. I mean, the sure mics are great,
though. Sure mics are are, I mean the
(28:52):
audio quality is great. It's just I have this really old
cable and I have to get a new one and I've been having to get
a new one for like a year. And it's not even like I, I mean
they're like 20 bucks. I've just, I've just been so
lazy because I'm like, I'd have to unplug it and then put it all
the way back through. Yeah, I use the I have the one
that has the USBC so I just plugit in digitally as I use an XL
(29:15):
arm ONS. Oh, oh, yeah, those are nice.
I actually have one of those twothat I was going to use for
travel and I've never used it. I spend all that money.
I've never. Used, but at least you have it
for just in case. Exactly, and you know if this is
my taxes then I definitely have tried to use it once for
content. On the record.
(29:36):
On the record. On the record.
We know, we know. OK, so now we've yapped.
It's been 30 minutes a yap. See it it it always happens.
We knew it was inevitable. Thank you again.
So without further ado, Danny, you want to start us off with
the cover story in the first couple pages of this chapter for
Chapter 1169 Official Vision translation guys, if you guys
(29:56):
want to follow along. Well, as we as we now see there
is no cover page. We did get a absolutely stunning
color spread here of the Rocks Pirates dressed to the nines in
what appears to be black suits. All up and down this color
(30:17):
spread, you're seeing the entirety of the Rocks Pirates
chilling on a blue couch. This is like your classic One
Piece cover spread. What are our thoughts on this?
Listen, brother, you know how I feel about when I see Charlotte
Lynn. Lynn see some Charlotte Lindland
Mama ma older you devil she's. Eating that wedding cake.
(30:42):
Charlotte Lindland, prime Big Mom goes.
He's milking it. He's milking it.
He's like we, I'm gonna, I'm gonna draw her as much as I can
while I still can. The prime bid mom figurines are
going to sell. They're going to sell, I'm
telling you. But seeing all of these guys
here, rocks just looks like. The suits a mafioso.
(31:05):
They look like the main characters of the story here.
Yep. What's the the Shiki movie
again? Which?
One the strong. World.
Isn't that didn't they all come on with the suits in Strong
World? Too.
Yeah, that's when they pulled in.
Is that is that Shiki coming back?
I like that. I like the Burns car I.
(31:26):
Don't know, I mean, Otis said the male, the Burns car showing
up next year, so. Yeah.
And that little, little thing, his message, which means, which
means we haven't been introducedto the character yet.
So it's no one we already know. Yeah.
See, you know, some people were like, oh, is it Gabon because of
that scar on his face? Yeah.
Is it dragon? Nope.
(31:47):
I'm I still don't know if I should hold out hope for Buggy B
and rocks his kid or something with this Blue Man.
I don't know. It's pretty.
It's. Not looking good.
It's not. What do you mean it's?
What do you mean it's not looking good because liking
stronger than ever? He's dead already.
Like when would when he just rocked on the sneak seas and
buggy. Or or or she was pregnant
(32:08):
already when she was leaving. OK, OK.
That's a good way to. Cope out of the court away.
I I listen. You're talking to a JJK fan who
thinks Gojo's still alive. All right, come on.
The copium is real here. I I I see the cope you serve and
I will eat that cope and I will,I will.
(32:29):
It's just for me. ODA had no business making this
man's hair blue. ODA, why are you do?
Who did you do that? Who's this for?
Like the agenda is is there. I'm reading between the lines
and, you know, say what you will, I'm still on that train.
I think it's possible. I mean how long did Rouge hold
(32:52):
Ace for? A year and a half, I think, Or
no, a year and eight months. Yeah, I mean, you know, you
never know. Wow, this is the coping stream.
This, this is the bug. The buggy agenda still persists.
How do you feel? Anybody else have note that we
want to point out before we moveon in the double page?
Stussy. Stussy's all over Whitebeard.
(33:13):
This man does not like her. No.
Or you can't beat the allegations and that's really
his kid and he's a really being a deadbeat dad for real.
No, I would. I would.
Really. Why?
You die on your arm, brother. No, I see.
Stole that man's DNAI promise she's a scientist.
She took that man's DNA and cloned him.
(33:35):
I don't know man. And strusum.
I was really strusum. Being in this always makes me
laugh like why is he he? Has no business being there.
Like the Strusen, love is alwaysconsistent here.
That tiger probably did more than Strusen and he wasn't even
in the story. Word.
I was happy to see Glorios and Big Mom chilling and just having
(33:56):
a good time. They look like friends.
Yeah, little chatty chat. All right, all right, let's get
into the chapter. Well.
That's it for the color. Color spread as we start off
with One Piece Chapter 1169 titled My Death Cannot Come Soon
Enough. Narrator opens the chapter up 14
years ago. Sunworld Elbaf, Gabon's house.
(34:18):
What says Shanks? Captain Roger had a son?
Yeah, apparently so. That's what Garb told me at
least. I'm amazed that he survived the
Navy search then. Well I mean in that case I guess
he's like a little brother to me.
Exclaimed Shanks with a smile onhis face.
Well you're not wrong about that.
You and Buggy were our sons. Well if he's got Captain Rogers
(34:39):
blood then I guess he'll be the next generations king of the
pirates. Gabon cuts in.
Whoa, hey, it ain't a hereditaryposition, guys.
Sometimes those with the greatest expectations placed on
them failed to achieve that greatness.
And you think so? I mean it's what makes life so
fun and unpredictable as now. We cut.
(35:01):
Meanwhile the faithful scene at Elbast Bah Roost Castle.
Oh no Loki, I mean Prince Loki'sreturn Chief Cha rule is here as
well. Outside of the royal chambers,
we see some guards shocked and surprised as they look towards
the door. We cut to see King Harold
surrounded by his men stand as Harold stands over a soldiers
(35:24):
body. Why did he your majesty?
He was coming to chain you up like you said.
As King Harold thinks to himself.
Why did I cut down my guard likethat?
It was like my body moved on itsown.
Was it to fulfill Emu's orders to eliminate those who could
stop me? As he thinks back to what Emu
said. Form an army of warriors.
(35:46):
Am I incapable of fighting back?Can those orders even alter my
very thoughts? For the rest of my life, for as
long as I continue to live, my presence will only make this
country worse. My body is a blight upon its
safety. It is a waste.
It was all for nothing. 144 years of life down the drain.
(36:07):
My death cannot come soon enough.
As he says to his men, quickly kill me, I refuse to let L Bath
be enslaved. Hurry.
He says before it's all taken over.
What are you doing your majesty?As the soldiers scream out and
then boom that scene of Loki coming into the room.
Hey Pop, I'm back. He suddenly cuts off as you hear
(36:28):
a big crash. Yeah, you cooking today,
brother? You feeling good?
I listen, there's that big bowl of fire I had right before this
and this cup of green tea, so I'm locked in.
Nice. All right, How we feeling about
these pages? Chestnut this is your first time
reading it so. I It is my first time reading it
(36:48):
and Harold. It's OK, you can say it.
He he sucks. He's so bad because this was
completely avoidable because Roxtold him this multiple times and
yet we're supposed to still likethey're writing this like oh,
we're supposed to feel bad for this bomb?
(37:09):
No, he don't feel bad for him. He's a, He's a Bony.
He, he actively saw all of these.
Like he actively saw all of this.
He knew what was going on. He saw the slavery that the
Celestial Dragons were doing. He saw the evils of the world
government first hand, how they treated people differently and
still followed them. At some point you would think
(37:32):
that his his brain would be big enough to be like, hey, maybe,
maybe bad things are bad regardless of who's in power.
No, he he never thought that. There was never a single thought
in this man's head. That man had blinders on.
That man was going through life like this.
Yeah, and, and only when it affected him, he's like, oh,
maybe this is bad. Wait, maybe the government's
(37:55):
really, really bad. Hello, Princess.
Hello, Princess. Yo he, it's like Oda's doing his
best. And it's I want to give ODA his
credit in writing these lines for Harold because it is like,
damn, bro, you really wasted 144years of your life seeking this
(38:16):
condition. And your boy, your man's told
you so like he told you. Your best friends he he begged
and pleaded, you guys fought, you clashed head to head and you
still chose to double down. Yep, you had every opportunity
and you know FAFO. Fuck around and find out.
(38:38):
Like are we supposed to feel badfor him?
Like I'm rooting for Loki. Like I hope Loki goes in there
and it's like finally we can take him out cuz he's just been
the worst. And like I was having this
conversation on stream where I was like, or it's like, Oh well,
Harold, you know, he, he made ElBaf better.
It's like, did he really? Or did Ida make El Baf better?
(39:01):
Wasn't Ida's ideas Ida's ideology?
Ida said, hey, we should be morepeaceful.
We should do this. Like he hasn't had an original
thought, but like that so, so he'll, so listen, right?
He'll, he'll change everything that Ida can except for the fact
that Ida can't live in in the castle, right?
Like is, is everybody's minds like truly changed because
they're still super hateful. Like they killed her, then they
(39:23):
poisoned her. So how much, how much did your
peaceful land really work? Like you've still kept in these
hierarchies. You're right.
He's he helped increase the economy right of of L bath and
all the other things like commerce and the trade and all
that stuff like helping to, you know, keep them from starvation
through all that and through thebad weather and all that stuff
(39:44):
they was having. But like EDA was saying, he kind
of ignored at that point was like, you know, maybe don't
forsake the whole culture though, right?
Like, don't forget you only gonna throw everything the past.
You can't, you know, you can't continue to get better while
like not knowing your past, which is the whole, you know,
story of one piece, like erasingthat, like you got to remember
the the the bad things you did too and take ownership of that,
(40:07):
not just erase it for good. And he was this is what he got
ripped off his horns. Like all that that's similar.
Like it's it's raccooning at itsfinest.
It's crazy. Yeah, that man lost sight of
what was really important. It it still sucks to see him get
clowned like this. You know, it's it's kind of
making me think of Dressrosa with what happened with Riku.
(40:30):
Riku, you know, when he was likestriking down his own soldiers
even though he really didn't want to.
It sucks. Like he was forced.
To do that right, like Harold willingly did most of this.
Like Harold willingly gave himself up, willingly walked
into the world government, willingly allowed the elders of
of of Elbaf to continue to dictate everything.
Like he was a passive observer to everything and never did
(40:52):
enough to truly influence change.
Like who are the people who influence change Ida Saul Harold
or a Harold Harajeen? My bad oops slip.
Like Harajeen, like these are the people who were like
actively trying to like change Elbaf, like Harajeen like wants
to be back and wants to be this ruler and wants to change it for
the better. Like, like a Saul wants to bring
(41:14):
education. Like it wasn't Harold who
started the school. It was Saul who started the
school. So I just feel like he's just
kind of been like, oh, well, things are getting better.
So I'm doing right and just never questioned it.
I don't know. I'm a, I'm a hater though.
I'm a I'm a. As you should, as you should.
This is the reaction notice trying to get when he writes
characters. Yes, it's the complexity of it
all I got. Listen, when we were in our Garp
(41:36):
chapters, I was over here like Boo, this man, I just nothing.
Those were rough. Those were rough chapters.
Those were rough days right, So Otis just re diverting that hate
for Garp all through God valley to be like and now it's time to
hate Harold again. Oh.
What did you buggy mention? I was going to say Bugy to hear
Gabon speaks so highly of both. Shanks and sweet Prince.
(42:04):
You and Buggy were our sons. All right.
He's calling Shanks over here. The faded the child of fate.
What's Buggy, though? Child of opportunity.
Off the Dome, yes. Wow, good job, brother.
Look at that. I'm just, I'm just happy with
it. Buggy.
(42:25):
I'm just we're we're buggy supporters over here.
We love we love the cross gills and and all that.
So just just hear buggy being spoken of in in such a highway.
I'm just like, that's a win. That's a win.
Yeah, Shanks over here take talkof my like, oh man, my little
brother Ace, he's going to be great.
I was like. Actually man, he met that man
(42:46):
later, almost ran the fate. Also white beers folk because
Shanks went to him was like you should tell your boy to stop
chasing black man. True, he should have told him
that. Listen and we I don't even think
Blackbeard did anything wrong bykilling Thatch but like you
shouldn't have chased him. Yeah.
How do you feel about that, since you're a Blackbeard
supporter? Oh, he's like terrible, like
(43:08):
Blackbeard is like a horrible person.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not, I'mnot supporting.
I'm just saying like he's gonna do anything he wants in order to
achieve his goal. Like the work?
But but we're saying like, who was Thatch though?
How do you know his last name? He he was just some NPCS, you
know, like, I mean, like, oh, I mean, like, yeah.
Like in the grand scheme of things, like doesn't really
matter. No.
(43:28):
Was he even strong? I mean if he got noticed but
it's like. Yeah, it's like, bro, like
that's kind of socked up for this life, you know what I mean?
Like you became a pirate. You know what came with it?
It's not like me killed a civilian.
It's not really friendly fire ifyou're pirates like.
That's true. That is true.
Be like that. Sorry Thatch.
(43:53):
Sorry Thatch. We'll, we'll die on that until
the end of time. You know, people be like, what's
thatch? But what about thatch?
I'm like, but what about thatch?What about that?
You don't even know that man You.
Don't even know him. He doesn't even go here.
He like laughed like once and I guess people are like.
Yeah. I got a good laugh.
All right, Chester, you want to take us to the next 4 pages?
(44:14):
Yeah, so we have like a full spread here.
It kind of goes across 2, and we'll start off at the very top.
We see Loki is walking in. He's like, what's going on in
here, Harold? How can this be?
I truly am immortal. And we see Harold is getting
impaled here. I can feel my body recovering.
Stop it. Run for your lives, men.
(44:36):
And everybody's trying to poke him.
We see that there's a guy here. He's definitely gonna die.
We see Harold like swoops over. What can I do to die?
Someone help me, Loki screams out.
And then we have the elder here and he's totally shook.
And then we cut back. We see this cute little village
(44:58):
where Gabon is talking to Shanks, and it says.
So basically Harold and I have signed the shallowest of
covenants with the with the Great One in Mary Joie.
Even with just this shallow covenant, we can't resist as
long as we're we're within that freak's range.
What an odd power. So once we're out of the Holy
(45:19):
Land, we finally had a chance totalk openly.
I knew it. You are from the Red Haired
Pirates. Interesting.
Harold was delighted about the deal he'd made to get Elbaf
added to the World Government once he was in the Knights of
God. But to do that, he said, he has
to sign the next level of his covenant.
Is that bad or something? Then it says through the
(45:42):
covenant, the Holy Knights of God gain superhuman strength and
an undying body, as well as the ability to generate an abyss, a
means of traveling long distances.
But in exchange, no matter whereyou are, you cannot defy the
orders of the Great One, whose voice will reach you at any
range. So if he agrees to the covenant,
(46:03):
Harold will be forced to do whatthose people say.
Knowing how greedy they are, I can't imagine I would keep they
would keep their word and give him what they promised.
Dot dot dot Dragon's favorite line.
Damn dragon catching a stray. Crazy, I did not see that covet.
Nope. I don't think Harold should join
(46:26):
the and then we see all this conquers hockey.
And I and I think that's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's it? How you feeling?
I'm glad we got the the officialtranslation because the early
(46:46):
translation said like, I don't know, I remember reading
something a little bit different, but one thing that
kind of struck me was how Shanksrefers to Emu as this great one
in Mary Joie, which kind of gives me the impression that
Shanks and Gabon don't know about Emu.
(47:07):
Beforehand. Or didn't.
Like they didn't. Know at this point in.
Time. Yeah, at this point in the.
Story let's see, because how I mean Shanks like brings it up in
a specific way, right, talking about that freak.
So I think he's he's addressing evil as that freak.
Where does he say that? Oh, as we're within that freaks
(47:29):
that great one. That's what he's referring to
this great one in Mary Joie. But he doesn't know, like,
exactly what it is or who it is.Like they don't know that
there's like a king on the sitting on the empty throne.
That's what I'm taking by him, by the verbiage of we're within
that freaks range, even with just the the shallows covenant.
(47:50):
We can't resist as long as we'rewithin that freaks like one
individual. Range, the great one.
This great one, yeah. Yeah, so they know of like a
like there's some sort of figure, but I don't think Shanks
knows like exactly who Emu is orhas even seen Emu.
It seems like only what is it the stage 3, the deep, deep sea.
It's not the deep sea, it's the deep, deep sea.
(48:12):
It's very deep. I think stage 2 it's cuz Harold
didn't meet Emu until he was about to get his upgrade into
the second right where he becamelike a holy night.
So I think because Shanks didn'treach that second level, he
never saw exactly. Probably know something's there,
but didn't meet EMU, I guess. Is that what you're asking,
Danny? Yeah.
No, no, I'm just saying that I feel like you can infer from
(48:35):
what Shanks is saying that they don't know who EMU is.
Yeah, I don't, I don't think they, I think they know there's
somebody higher, like there's some sort of like like had
Celestial Dragon, but they don'tyeah, like they don't know like
who Emu is that emu sits on the throne.
But I think that's, I would assume, like I think these pages
are great because one, obviouslyShanks is only there to get
(48:57):
basically information about the Celestial Dragons.
He's basically just trying to break into the ranks, like
figure out what's going on and then leave.
But now he's kind of stuck in this weird position where he has
this kind of mark and he's like,there's just some weirdo up
there that we need to get more information.
I I'd assume he eventually goes back which.
(49:18):
Which that Shanks goes back to Mary Joie.
Yeah, to try to get more information.
I would assume that he's going to try to figure out who this
like Great 1 is. I don't think so.
I think that because he didn't show up because Harold wasn't
even supposed to get the next level of the deep covenant.
It was supposed to be Shanks, but Shanks.
Shanks ran away, essentially. He Yeah.
(49:38):
No call, no showed, right. And so they had to give it to
Harold. And so I I don't know if if
Shanks goes back, because if he does, he's going to get
punished. Yeah, They're going to ask a lot
of questions. Where were you?
Why didn't you come back? They're going to know.
They're going to think he sucks and they know they know the
right way of. Pirates.
They already think he yeah, theyalready think there's a rat
(50:00):
amongst the the, the Holy Knights because of what happened
with all the slaves that got freed.
So if Shanks comes back, it's just like mad suspicious timing.
And speaking about suspicious timing, you're telling me that
Shanks met up with Harold's and then they spoke freely?
Was that before or after Harold's got the deep covenant
thing? The 1st tattoo or the 2nd
(50:21):
tattoo? The 2nd tattoo, No, this is so
this little flashback, this is like right after the 1st tattoo.
So, so Frank, so Shanks meeting Harold's in this little
flashback panel here, and he's like, I knew it.
You're from the Red Haired Pirates is before Harold's got
the deep covenant. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah. Because remember the he ran,
(50:43):
Remember we had the whole interaction where he was like,
oh, I've seen bro somewhere before.
Yeah, so why didn't Shanks tell him right then and there?
Bro, you shouldn't do that. Until Shanks right?
Didn't know what it was yet. Convenient convenient thinking
What it's convenient. I'm just saying I'm just saying
Shanks is still on fraud watch bro.
I don't know this just didn't sit right with me.
(51:03):
Why do you have to wait until you get to L back to be like yo
bro not you really shouldn't getthe.
You got me tipped. I'm tiptoeing what I'm saying?
Like, am I bucking? Like I was like, where we go
with this? I'm like, I'm just saying what's
happening on the page. Yeah, I don't know, Shanks.
Sloppy work. That's all I'm saying bro.
He didn't know yet. We'll see.
That's convenient thinking, but you don't know that.
(51:26):
You are you are being a heretic,Sir.
How you feel, chestnut about what else is going on here?
Do you have any of anything elseto note?
Honestly, I mean other than the fact that it seems like Gabon
already has his kids so he got busy early.
Oh yeah, yeah. Gabon is also a man of
(51:47):
opportunity. Well, I, I love how Ripley's
just chilling there, like just listening to all this like
crucial information being divulged.
You know she family. Well, ODA finally brought us
back to, like, where the back story started.
Like we're finally back at this moment when they were, like,
chilling in the tub and all that.
Like, we're all started in June.Yeah.
I forgot about that. That's how this all started.
(52:09):
Yeah, that was. Man, Oh my God, it's cold out.
Today's a winter solstice. I don't know if you guys knew
that. No, so so like we finally
reached where we are, right. Well, Loki both burst into the
door when it first started with him being stabbed.
And this is the moment where they did feel the hockey and we
saw them like run up to the the gate or whatever.
So like everything's finally seamlessly just going through
(52:35):
Harold getting stabbed, be stabbed and finally really he's
immortal. That's I guess that's happened.
That happened. You know, for the first time
feeling what it's like to recover from fatal wounds.
Man that would be great. Must be nice.
I'm over here, my shoulder been hurting forever.
Because you don't stretch you. Don't got to tell everybody I
don't stretch. I mean, shame works.
(52:59):
Shame is the only thing that like actually gets people to do
things. Well, see, there you go.
Gotcha. But do the other way.
Do the. Other it's too much.
Just a wall right here. I'm have to like roll the chair.
Yeah, I won't put you on the spot.
God forbid you fall out of your chair.
Yeah, mainstream. I'm not doing that for free.
(53:22):
See some of Frankie left a message though.
Member for two months. Shout out to you.
When are we getting another chestnut and TLPT collab?
I don't. I really don't have time to do
collabs anymore unfortunately. I.
We know how long this took to behappening, so we we totally get
it. So and it's hard.
Everybody's schedule is crazy, especially around.
(53:43):
This time, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's tough.
It's tough. Corey, you want to take us to
the next two? Yep.
Let's get to it. Yeah, going to be 4.
I guess I can actually. How many pages are left?
Try to mathematically figure it out real quick.
Real quick. Sorry.
All right, As we see Loki and Harold clashing.
(54:04):
Hang on a second, Dad. What am I supposed to react to
1st? The fact that you haven't died
with all those wounds or the fact that you're trying to kill
me and the castle guards? Where's this monster strength
coming from As Loki holds back Harold struggling.
We got Ja Rule over here saying what happened to you Harold
(54:24):
that's the unsheathed sword. Come back to your senses as the
guards still scream. Guards to the royal chamber.
Harold yells help stop the king,he's been taken by madness as
they rush in. Are they fighting?
Hurry. It must be that.
Damn Loki, save the king. As we see Ja Rule and Loki throw
(54:45):
Harold to the ground, pressing him.
Explain yourself, Harold. What happened, Chief Ja Rule,
I've made a terrible mistake. Ja Rule looks at him confused.
Very soon I truly will lose my mind.
Listen closely, Loki. Do as I say as Loki looks
(55:06):
confused. I want you to tell the people of
Elbaf exactly what happened here.
That I killed my own guards, that I used joining the World
Government as an excuse to do their dirty bidding.
Ultimately, they lied to me, andlook at me now, I'm about to
(55:26):
hand over the people of Elbaf tothe government to be their
slaves in battle. Loki screams.
What do you mean they tricked you?
They never had any intention of honoring my requests as the
guards look confused. Your Majesty.
Ja Rule just looking down, judging him menacingly.
(55:47):
Chief Ja Rule, feed the treasureof El Baath to Loki.
What With the power of God, I will be unstoppable.
El Baath being enslaved by the government is the very
antithesis of my dream that makes me the worst king in the
history of Elbaf. So you must kill me to take the
(56:10):
throne. Loki, tell the people what a
fool of a king I was. Kill me and be a hero.
Loki looking stressed out at him.
Harold, once I'm dead, my reputation means nothing to me.
All that matters is Elba's future.
Am I wrong you'd really do all this for?
(56:33):
Please Loki, you're the only onewho could do it.
As Harold's head cocks back as we see some crackling as we cut
to the outside of the castle. This, this, I'm not going to
lie, this got me in my feeling alittle bit when I first read it.
You know, like Harold got got, you know, he got scammed.
(56:55):
But you know what? We've all been scammed, right?
But he's trying to do the right thing.
He's trying to get Loki to eat. What is it the the the treasure
the of Elbaf? It's got it.
I'm assuming it's the Gummogo one on me at this point.
That would be interesting. Power of a God.
Like it's it's the actual like gum, gum fruit.
(57:17):
I do like that. I've always liked the theory
that that it was the gum gum fruit.
Who's who took it? Shanks ran up on him, ran his
pockets, took the gum. Gum fruit.
Yeah. Went to go hide on Dawn Island,
found Luffy yeah and saw an opportunity and guys arm shoot
off by the serpent. Like it the math is mathing.
It makes sense. I mean, I forgot who came up
(57:38):
with that theory, but it's it's solid.
Well, we've been, we've been told that the the gum gum fruit
finds a way to continuously get away from the world government,
right? And everything is essentially
going to Emus plan right now. Harold is slowly losing control
of his body to Emu and knows that if he also eats this devil
fruit, which is what rocks wanted the whole time, he was
(58:00):
like, I just need Harold and this devil fruit and I can make
much it happen. So now things, you know,
obviously going to turn out. How they probably turn out won't
say too much, but Emu's not going to.
Probably not. Emu's not getting his hands on
his gum. Gum fruit.
Do you think EMU knows the the treasure of L Bath is the gum
gum fruit or the Nikka fruit, whatever you want to call it?
(58:23):
I feel like if rocks knew, why would emu?
Know well maybe rocks just knew that because Harold here says
it's like the power of a God, right?
What if people just, I don't know, just assume that it was
just like a really powerful fruit that's on L bath that's
passed down through the lineage of the royal family and what
(58:44):
not, You know, because I feel like if the world government
really knew that it was the NikoNiko fruit, they would do
everything in their power to get.
It well, they've been trying to and this has been the first king
to actually fall for the Okie Doke.
Yeah. That's, I mean, if it is who's
who that steals the fruit, then clearly there has been a plan
(59:05):
that's been set in motion. Well, it's not so much that
who's who steals the fruit from what I know, it's that like the
world government does somewhat get their hands on it, I guess.
And Shanks is the one who raidedthat ship that who because who
didn't say that he got put in jail because he did a bad job,
not because he was stole the thegum gum fruit.
(59:26):
So that's why he's so salty withthe government.
So. Yeah, because Shanks run up on
him. Yeah, so I would be.
That's why Shanks never goes back to Mary Joao.
Anything else we got here? Yeah.
How you feeling about this just?I think I don't know, I I, I
(59:47):
think this is a good step for Harold.
Too late where he finally realizes and that realization is
like she's. Going soft.
Like, like that realization of like, oh, I messed up like
really big. And for him to even kind of bend
the knee to, to Loki and be like, I want you to tell
everybody like how big of an idiot I was, like how stupid I
(01:00:09):
was, how I was about to enslave everybody.
Like you have to tell people. People and we kind of know how
this story ends. So the fact that Loki couldn't
bear to ruin his father's reputation and instead took the
brunt of that, but also the the elder dude is here.
What's his name? Ja Rule.
Ja Rule. He's right there, Ja Rule.
(01:00:31):
Was just in on the plane. Remember, Remember Ja Rule had a
had a sword through his head. Oh, and that's gonna cause and
they're gonna. Pull his memory so fuzzy.
'Cause him to remember he's going to be.
Like away or believe one of the two.
Ja Rule just definitely I think also decides to like not maybe
Loki begs, you know Ja Rule whenit's all it is over to be like
(01:00:53):
just just blame it on me bro just.
Blame me, that's what I kind of hope.
But it's better for the people to know to think that Harold was
a good king. Because like, it's not like
Loki, like this country like that.
He just lives there. That's.
Tough. Like, but that's why it's that's
why for Loki in this last panel here on the bottom, he's like,
(01:01:14):
wow, you'd really do all this for da da da El Baf, right?
So I think after everything thatgoes down here, he's going to
try to protect El Baf because that was important to his dad
and his dad was actually a good parental figure for him growing
up. Yeah, So why was he, too?
That's why I told Howard. And he was like, you really
(01:01:35):
think I would kill Pops? Like, you know, we know the same
amount of things. That's what you think.
That's what you think of me you fell for.
The propaganda. You fell for the propaganda.
I see anything else here? I mean, just kind of this
moment. I mean, once again, Oda's doing
a great job writing Harold's kind of admission of his
(01:01:58):
awareness of every way that he effed up Tom.
Foolery. Yeah, like he's he's drawing the
emotion out like you said, Danny, like I when I was
reading, I was like you still Ibaka I.
Guess you're taking accountability.
But at least you're taking accountability, and that's also
rare these days. Yep, a little too little too
(01:02:19):
late. But yeah, yeah, yeah, at.
Least one step in the right direction.
I got more sympathy for you thanGarth because Garth has yet to
admit anything. Oh God, that one, that one panel
and that one chapter where in like Dragons like you disgust
me. Yeah.
Dusty, man, he was like, well, here you go, here's the key.
(01:02:41):
Here's the key. And I'm quitting the Navy.
Yeah, I know. The Don presses him.
What is he doing Curly to Don presses him?
He just, he just she said you ain't shit.
You let those boys die. And he was just like.
Your breath stanky. Oh, man.
All right, Danny, one of the tickets from you let's.
(01:03:02):
Do it so as again, we last saw Harold's bang in his head
against against the pillar as all of a sudden he just knocks
him like sends the guards flyingLoki off of him, right?
He peeps to the side right announcements being made.
(01:03:23):
There are criminals within the castle, huh?
Your majesty Says a guard. Seal the front gate right away,
Your Majesty. You'll you killed.
Them all, says a guard as he jumps Harold from behind,
stabbing him through the throat.You're not the real King
Harold's as Harold says, but I am Harold and I am now a vassal
(01:03:46):
of the Great One. As he grabs that man and you can
see the wound slowly closing up,he says that man flying and gets
a strike, knocking everybody out.
No one shall escape to tell the tale of what happened here as
you see the guard trying to crawl away.
Hurry, run as Harold Curb stompsthis man into the ground.
(01:04:13):
I will give this country over toMU Emu as Chief Ja Rule says.
Hurry, Loki. Loki's running away.
He's like, why do I have to eat some devil fruit?
Then I won't be able to swim anymore.
What's gotten into him? He's like a totally different
person as Harold's with demon eyes.
Don't you dare eat it, Loki. That fruit belongs to me.
(01:04:35):
You told me. You just told me to eat it.
If you eat that fruit, it will be the end of the world.
Harold as Chief Ja Rule sneaks him from behind, stabbing him
through the chest. Do it Loki, make sure Harold
doesn't get that fruit as Haroldquickly spins from behind,
eating a sword right in a Chief JA Rule's head.
(01:04:57):
Chief Ja Rule, you gave me that blade years ago, Ja Rule, now
you can have it back. I'll eat that fruit and take
Ragnar for myself. As he looks towards Lofi, Loki
still running away. You can't have it as the guards
are like whoa. That now you can have it back.
(01:05:21):
That shit was that was cold. That was cold, that was cold.
I was like the Wayne John Rolls just like this guy's hands up in
the air like. Is that you?
You had to do all that. All I do, stab you in the chest.
You are right, right yo through the head fatality Mortal Kombat,
(01:05:50):
that's. Probably why he doesn't remember
anything. Yeah, it's, it's starting to
make sense. Now, yeah, a little.
Harold's a demon in here. He's a monster, He.
Curb stomped that one guy. His face is smushed.
People like a father, guys. Fodderized.
Stabbed Chief Ja Rule in the face and again, you guys see
(01:06:12):
that one panel of him with thoseeyes as he says, don't you dare
eat that fruit, Loki. He looks like a demon.
Menacing bro. This is menacing.
This is. And he's not even this is not
even like a dummy reversey because like it's so parallel to
like rocks losing himself when he gets done reverseyed and you
see this moment, it's like, yo, he he was like.
(01:06:34):
It's not even his final. Form it's ridiculous bro, he's
not even dommied. It's not even dommied.
But yeah, this is crazy. Harold's on demon time right
now. Everyone's doing their best but.
And Loki's over here huffing andpuffing about he's.
Scared. Why do I have to?
Eat the fruit. Just a baby.
I don't. He's scared.
Yeah, but he has a reluctance toeat the fruit, you know, and
(01:06:56):
this is, this is the first time we're hearing about Ragnar,
right? Well, aside from, you know, the
other time just. Saying like in the flashback,
Yeah. And the president?
Harold's saying all eat the fruit and take Ragnar for
myself. So what is the correlation
between those two? The fruit and Ragnar.
(01:07:18):
Thank you. That is interesting.
I mean, it's so I think originally when Elbaf first
started, I think some people thought that maybe it was like a
Vega punk devil fruit inside theweapon thing, which was.
Interesting. That still doesn't make sense to
me. I don't know how that would
happen, honestly. Like, like just this.
(01:07:38):
Yeah, no, but just the just the entire like, how could you put a
Devil fruit power into a sword? Like, how does that work?
And could you do it naturally? And did he see it naturally?
You know what I mean? Oh, Vega punk.
Yeah. So like, could this be like
there's a connection because like the Devil Fruit imprinted
or something? Or do they have, I mean, we know
they have wills of their own. Like is it something that the
(01:07:58):
Devil Fruit claimed itself? I don't know.
It could just be a mythical right It's at this point and
that's. Usually.
The answer right? We got to believe that a
mythical weapon exists in this world.
I feel like, I don't know, maybeit's the hammer.
Hammer Fruit. The Hammer.
Hammer. Fruit.
I don't know, trying to think what else here.
(01:08:20):
I mean, yeah, it's just vicious what Harold is doing to like
these guards. Like Otis putting in too much
work on like this. Bro got bro got his head quite
crushed in the top right. Like a pumpkin, I'm telling you
your Harold's putting tricks on it.
It's. Crazy.
Like this level of fodderizationis, is disrespectful.
Danny, you are bumping over there.
(01:08:40):
Crazy. What can I say that green tea is
hitting bro. Fid, you know you got anything
of note before we kind of move on that you guys want to add I.
Mean there's only one more page.Well, 2 pages, yeah, so I'm
good. I might as well wait till the
end of the chapter. All right, Chestnut, take us
home. All right, so I guess Shanks and
(01:09:05):
Gabbana are here now. What?
I don't know. Surprise, motherfucker,
surprise. I don't know where they came
from, but it's nice to have them.
So we see a little like catchingof like the sword kind of going
through and then, oh, he's stillawake, Darrell, he's still
awake. He's right there.
(01:09:26):
Yeah, he's Gucci. I don't know, but he's Gucci.
Keep. Just keep.
Just just keep reading. Trust me.
She's like, Are you sure about that?
And then he goes, it's Gabon andShanks, but that's beside the
point. That goes, ah, Ja Rule, what
happened to you? The helmet saved my life.
(01:09:52):
Hey ODA bro, I hate him, I hate him.
That's the second time he used that joke and it hit it hit the
second. Time joke.
I hate him. That's just.
The helmet saved my life bro, it's through your fucking head.
(01:10:13):
This is my king. This is my glorious king ODA.
He can do no wrong. But.
Then he goes please stop Harold,don't let him go after Loki.
And then we see Harold like growling growl.
I guess Emu really likes to growl.
(01:10:35):
Based on what you said, it lookslike the worst case scenario
came to pass. Harold, look around you come to
your senses and we pop up and Ohmy gosh, menacing aura here.
Ah, Shanks, this undying body isa wonderful thing.
I feel superior to all of their life.
Damn it. Is there any way to break
control of him? And then we see this Kershank.
(01:10:58):
Little lock opens, doors open. Huff huff.
Is that the the storied relic ofElbath Tank?
The forbidden Devil Fruit? Huh.
And then we see this like, hammer pop out like Thor's
hammer, and it goes geek, geek, geek, geek.
Whoa, who did that? And that's set to be continued.
(01:11:22):
So rag Near can move on its own.It's got a little mule near
action over. The walls hammer at this point,
brother. Oh, they just didn't want to
make it hot. I forget what people said.
What is Ragnar in like Norse mythology?
What does it mean? Let me look it up.
Yeah, I'm not sure exactly the. Ragnar.
(01:11:46):
Oh, it's not a figure in traditional Norse mythology, but
a significant weapon wield. OK, yeah, it's a completely
original idea, but never mind, it sounds Norse as hell.
Yeah, he just, he pulled the Okie, Dokie said.
I'm just going to cut Ragnarok in half or in thirds 2/3.
You know what? I rock with it.
(01:12:06):
I love it. Yeah, how we feel about these
two pages. Dress Lance you.
It's your first. It's a live reaction here.
Yes, yeah, you finish the chapter here that that John will
think through you for a loop. Yeah, I know that your rule took
me out. He's awake, so he so So it must
(01:12:27):
be that Loki was like, it had tobe like Loki Gabon, but also OK,
OK, at the at a point. I understand, right That like
Loki, you know, says maybe like I don't want to ruin my father's
memory. You know, it's OK if my brother
hates me, which you don't think that Para Jean could keep a
secret. So whatever, right?
(01:12:50):
Like, but then they like put this lie out or it's like they
didn't really even have to to put the lie out.
They could have just been like they fought and you know, Loki
ended up winning, but because ofthat he's, you know, done.
But they put this lie that like he was this terrible menace who
almost destroyed all of Elbaf and Shanks had to come in and
(01:13:10):
and stop him and he was completely out of control.
So they made it so that like Loki has to take all this blame
for everything where it's like you could have just made-up
another lie. Like if you're not already lie
like just do that because now he's like suffering down in like
the cold. Like he I just I just you.
You make him suffer for nothing because your father was a dumb
ass. I think there, I think there's
(01:13:31):
another piece of the puzzle thatwe might be missing that we're
not Privy to as of yet that's going to be released later on.
There has to be a reason why Loki's down in the underworld,
you know? Because we also have to take
into account that like, Loki leaves the island and sails the
seas for like a few years beforeShanks drags him back to Elbaf.
(01:13:52):
So there's some kind of Shannons?
Going on, it could be guilt, youknow what I mean?
It could be like, however this all turns out, that Loki does
genuinely feel like shit for howmaybe he is the one who does get
to kill Harold or whatever, right?
That that amount of shame that he feels for that, that he would
rather just be the bad guy in somany ways.
(01:14:16):
So he wants to like pay for the sins of killing his father, but
also protect his legacy. Like, however, Oda's going to
try to spend this, it's going tolike definitely try to optimize
Loki's like, ability to show love, you know what I mean?
And feel guilt because we saw how he kind of tried to hide his
feelings when losing ETA right? And how he kind of backlashed
(01:14:37):
and kind of destroyed the country by taking out that whole
village that his mom was from. But at this time, he's deciding,
let me go back and be locked up like I was supposed to be,
right? And I feel like, you know, you
get what I'm saying here. Yeah.
Yeah, we're, we're gonna see a compassionate side to Loki where
it's like his, he's really goingto be like, oh, this is who Loki
(01:15:01):
is as a character. This is why everything happened.
Like he's going to take all thatpain onto himself, something
like that, right? Yeah, 100% and then did.
You guys see the the size of Shanks the sword in that one
panel like Jesus The thing is huge.
Yeah, you know ODA is bad at like his scaling consistency
bro, like. We got to let it slide.
(01:15:23):
Yeah, you know, that's just justpointing point stabby stab.
And it's like the moment where before we get this is because
it's like the page where Harold kind of like does the that you
did you hear like the the the the guards say like seal the
front. They would say they are
criminals within the castle. I think that was when like a
Bond and Shanks got in the castle in that moment before
(01:15:46):
they got into this room. So that's when, you know, they
kind of pull up and hit the slash.
But I think that the criminals in the castle, I think that
that's, oh, you think Harold took notice of Shane because
that's Harold making that announcement.
Is it? Yeah, because there are
criminals within the castle. Sealed the front gate because he
doesn't want. No one shall.
(01:16:06):
Escape to tell the tale. Of what happened.
And they're, they're those guards.
I thought that was the guards because they're responding to
him. Like, yes, your Majesty, right
away. OK, got it.
That was But yeah, yeah, yeah. Ja Rule is coherent, so he's not
concussed. He remembers.
Well, we don't know that though,because like he just got like he
(01:16:27):
could like go to sleep and then lose his memory, but we don't
know. We don't like to go either way.
I think it just makes more sensefor him to be in on the plan and
him to been the guy on the Denden.
Mooshi told him to Loki. Don't.
None of this. Yeah.
I mean, I always thought it was King Ja Rule because of the
beard. The beard's like a dead
(01:16:48):
giveaway. Yeah, like.
Why wouldn't he just like, tell Loki like who he is?
Maybe that's just who he's decided to.
Maybe Loki knows who he is. I don't know.
Loki tried to make it seem like he did, but I don't know all
these characters. I feel like, I feel like with
someone, I feel like with someone like Loki, you kind of
have to be a stranger because, like, Loki's not going to open
(01:17:09):
up to somebody he actually knows.
So it's like, yeah, I'm a stranger because it makes it
easier for him. Trust issues.
Yep. But yeah, good to see Shanks and
Gabon on the scene, you know, here to help stop Harold.
It makes things a little more open to seeing how they're
(01:17:29):
actually going to deal with the King Harold's problem because
King Harold was almost on par with rocks right when they had
like their one-on-one duels. So like I love Loki and I'm sure
if he gets Ragnar right, but that's still not enough to stop
Harold. So to see Gabon and Shanks here,
we're going to see what what onehas to do to defeat a knight of
(01:17:53):
God. Yeah, the Holy Night of God.
I mean, bro even took note like he's saying like oh, so the
thing, the worst case scenario that you said was going to
happen, he did it. He did the thing, huh?
He got controlled. They got there quick.
Yeah, I they actually kind of are speeding through this now,
like the whole back story and everything.
(01:18:14):
Yeah, How many more chapters? How many more chapters do you
guys think we got left in this flashback before we go back to
to Luffy? And boy do I cannot wait to see
Horogen's face. One or two.
Yeah, you think? Probably one or two 2.
One or two. Definitely not one.
I don't think it's going to be 1because by the end of the next,
(01:18:35):
the end of the next chapter, I think we're going to get the
like, like Loki getting a, a handle on Ragnar and like them
actually being able to now formulate a plan on how to
defeat Harold. I would say I'll say three.
I'm going to say 3 chapters before we get to the present.
Yeah, there's, there's only likea few left kind of just to wrap
(01:18:56):
it up. I'm assuming what we're going to
see is whatever is in this, thisDevil fruit box, which could be
the, the gum gum fruit, which would also mean that Loki didn't
actually eat that Devil fruit like everybody said.
And, and, and Loki did, which I think will bring up like a lot
of really interesting kind of dynamics where it's like they're
all looking for the, the sun God.
(01:19:17):
But you know, Luffy's that person, he's going to figure
out. So I think they're definitely
gonna, you know, show what's in the box, show the ending of
Harold. So that's probably like 2:00-ish
chapters. And then there's maybe like,
maybe like a three to four whereit's like wrapping up like the,
the Shanks stuff where we kind of get like maybe Shanks takes
the box and this is how he, you know, when he eventually finds
(01:19:37):
Luffy, right? And kind of a a escaped over and
then maybe just a little bit of just Gabon and kind of like, you
know, ending wrapping it up, seeing Loki and then
transitioning so I could, I could see like, like I, I think
I think Danny's right like 3 to 467.
(01:19:58):
No, no, you. Had.
To you had to. I was trying to hold it back.
I was trying to hold it back. I got it.
She skipped 5 and everything she.
Did you? Plan, did you plan on saying?
That, yeah, I knew it. Yeah, I knew it.
I don't know all that. All that spiel was capped.
(01:20:20):
She just wanted to say success. It was for the she.
Doesn't even remember what she said.
She was like, Oh my God, Oh my God.
I love that. Well, Speaking of 6 and sevens,
well, hold on, hold on, hold on.I actually think it could be 3
(01:20:40):
to 4 for real because, well, letme ask you, do you guys think
we're going to get any insight to what Loki was doing sailing
the seas? You are stuck on that.
I don't think it's that. I think it's so interesting.
I think it's very interesting tosee like why did Shanks have to
like bring Loki back? I saw it's already what made
Loki. It's already propaganda.
(01:21:01):
You already, but you're too stuck on believing that that
part of the story, I think at best like it's going to be like,
oh, maybe he went to go find thethe legendary devil fruit that
got stolen by the government, but like.
Yeah. I I, I don't.
I don't. I can't believe.
Your mics out of gun. Oh.
Man. Sorry.
Go ahead, let us out. Firmly grasp.
(01:21:26):
It is it? Is it working now?
Now it is. All right, I'm going to hold
this, OK. So this is a firmly.
Grass hold. Guitar chord, like guitar to
connect to his amp chord. Because I'm so lazy I just
cannot buy a new one. I'm so sorry.
But what I was going to say is perhaps Loki went with Shanks
(01:21:46):
with the gum. Gum yeah.
And maybe maybe he was, you know, eventually when, when
Shanks got it back, there may have been some, you know,
something that was going on, like everybody's trying to, to
grab it and stuff. And then look, he's like, I have
to go back like to Elbaf and youknow, maybe like when Shanks,
cause Shanks recently was on Elbaf, maybe they want to go
talk about it. And Shanks was like, hey,
there's this guy, you know what I mean?
(01:22:08):
Like, like there's this guy who's coming and he has that
Devil fruit and maybe he clockedthat.
It could be. It could be.
I, I think it's important. I think it's something we need
to touch on and and if we do getit, then yeah, it might drag
this out to at least three, maybe 4.
Yeah, I'm just going based off Otis note, I guess it just seems
(01:22:30):
like he really like is trying toclose this flashback out like
now if I agree, so that I can't really tell Danny a little way
off camera like you're like slowly I'm moving.
Around, man, you're creeping. So far off like you're like
leaving the smash for the stage.But what are we giving this
(01:22:53):
chapter on a scale of 1 to 10? Again, we're only doing whole
numbers here. Yeah, if final thoughts wrap it
all up, you know, tie it in the bow.
We'll start with you, Chestnut. Welcome.
Welcome to the raiding club, I think.
I'm going to give this A7. I thought that there was a lot
of really good information. I actually really liked how they
wrapped up Harold's character. Just the fact that he finally
(01:23:16):
takes responsibility when it's too late I think makes him a
very tragic character. Like he's very well written,
even though I hate him, but he'svery well written.
Yeah. I mean it, it it is, it's it's
great. I I love how Loki is being used
in this. I think Shanks and Gabon are
really interesting. Not really much happened.
The art I think was was kind of good.
(01:23:37):
There wasn't like any like crazyfull panel that really caught my
attention. Overall, I think what's like the
next chapter is really gonna be the whoa, like this is actually
what happened. This is the devil fruit.
This is, you know, yadda, yadda.This chapter I think was really
good. It kind of like God Valley
ended. We were kind of getting more
information setting up for the climax.
So I think A-76 or 7A7A7. Sorry, you gotta give it one
(01:24:00):
more time. Yeah, for the love of the game.
For the bit. It's hard for me.
I kind of wanna, I agree with you.
I'm giving it A7. But if I'm like flipping through
the pages, the highlights for methat might give an 8 were the
buggy comment. I want to bring it up again.
(01:24:21):
Right? The buggy comment because, you
know, buggy for Pirate King. Yeah.
And then just the just the savagery of King Harold in these
chapters, throwing the one guardlike a bowling ball, knocking
the others out. Stop curb stomping the other one
eating the sword in the chief job rule.
Like this is just savagery like we don't normally see.
(01:24:43):
It's almost getting fight choreography from older.
Yes, I agree all the players areon the board.
So I agree with what Chestnut's saying.
We're like the next chapter, we're going to get the meat and
potatoes of what happened. But having said all that, if I
take my bias out of it with the whole buggy thing and the fight
(01:25:03):
choreography, because that's just the show bro in me, that's
just speaking. I have to give it a 7.
So I agree with Chestnut here. All right.
Well, I think that I'm leaning more towards an 8.
The reason why I feel like it's an 8 is I want to give older his
credit, you know, again, in regards to just the writing of
Harold's speech, you know what Imean.
Finding a way to make a character this is so easy to
(01:25:26):
hate, like you said, until you feeling really bad that he made
himself hateable and getting allthat emotion out.
And to also continuous. They have Loki processing all
this information and you feel like he's realizing and still
learning so much more about his dad at that same time.
Like the way he's kind of weaving that all together I
(01:25:48):
think was just really, really impressive.
I don't want to let that carry it any more than an 8 because
ODA was using the moments with the bond and Shanks to kind of
just confirm things we've already thought right?
Without actually putting the exact writing for like how what
covenant powers of it does, which whatever, whether it be
the shallows or the abyss or or whatever it is, He was just
(01:26:10):
confirming the things now. So we just know what it is and
knowing why Shanks was doing what Shanks was doing and where
he is just bring that all together.
But I think this cliffhanger is where ODA really got me because
I feel I feel like this is one of the more annoying
cliffhangers in a long time of achapter.
Like I didn't find myself more annoyed all through God Valley
(01:26:31):
by its endings of his last pages.
Like ODA was doing a really goodjob of making every chapter feel
like a moment that was like feltlike a satisfying meal through
God valley, which made I think it's so enjoyable and
consistent. Where it's like the chapters
feels like so much like lows kind of until you get to the
action, but then getting this reveal of like the hammer being
(01:26:54):
able to be moved on some like Thor type shit.
And then like it's just Loki ducking.
I'm just like brother you. You couldn't just like you
couldn't just end it with it like coming in in in Harold's
hand or something. You can't just.
Do that. Oh, that would have been cool,
I'm not going to lie. So yeah, this is almost like
Shannons. Like why are you playing in my
face? So I'm leaning towards an 8 so.
(01:27:18):
All right, I would give it an 8.I just don't care.
I just like seeing him, seeing him like upset on the floor,
like I wish like I just I'm justsitting there like Boo this man,
just like it's crazy being an ass.
I respected. All right, well, that was
chapter 1169. Just how you felt about the
(01:27:40):
experience all together. Thank you again for coming
through. We really, really appreciate it.
We hope we didn't annoy you or no.
This was awesome. They'll probably go through the
chapter for the first time reading it out loud with other
people. It's, it's always, I think an
interesting experience because we all kind of, you know, read
differently and things like that.
So hopefully you had a good time.
I did thank thank you so much for having me on again.
(01:28:02):
Thank you for for working with my schedule.
This was great and you guys are really great.
So this was this was really fun to do.
This is a very enjoyable experience.
I would love to come back on again when our schedules align
because it would it was, it was great.
And I think, I think you guys, you guys, you guys mesh just
very well. But yeah, I thought, I thought
(01:28:25):
this was a great chapter. Not really much more to say.
I I don't actually think we're going to get another one for
the. End of the last chapter of the
year, Do we know? Who said that?
I think there's like the Shonen Jump break, so like the next
chapter won't be until like after New Year's, right?
I I think so. That's what I heard.
(01:28:48):
But you know what? You don't know what?
You don't know until you don't know it.
There you go, put that on a shirt.
Yeah, man. Yeah.
Thank you again for being here, we had a blast.
Doing it this was so fun. It's always better than when
it's just me and him. No offense, I love you bro.
No offense taken. It's it's always good to have
fresh ideas to kind of, you know, expand and kind of look at
(01:29:11):
the chapter differently because we all got different brains and
how they all work differently. So it's like we're all picking
up on on different things and have and, you know, think about
like process them differently. Like we have different opinions
on how they go. And if you ever need anything
from us and you ever want us, you know, to have us on
anything, always feel free us up.
You have my number, super reachable.
(01:29:31):
We're just, we just try to be two chill guys and if you ever
want to have Kimmy on as well for anything, you just let us
know. Give me a shot because I know
you didn't get to meet her today, but we don't know how.
She'll catch up soon at. All the trade off is that me and
him been doing streams, watchingSailor Moon for the first time
and she's been doing One piece. That's the whole moon piece
thing. So that's that's how we get here
(01:29:54):
to what we. Do I'm a huge Sailor Moon fan so
if you guys ever have. Oh, if you want to watch Sailor
Moon. Oh, that's we, we, we just.
We just streamed the original Sailor Moon.
OG Yeah, are you? Watching Oh, that's a good one.
We're not watching the but we'renot watching like the one where
it's Serena, it's the one where they they refer to her as Usaki.
(01:30:16):
The the the the new bizdub, right?
Yeah, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Although the Serena one is hilarious.
That's what we that's what people keep saying.
Like we don't get to experience what's her name?
What's the girl name that's supposed to be Molly?
Molly. Molly, Oh my gosh, it's a.
Crazy. Accent.
Like we didn't get to hear, we didn't get to hear the Joy
Wheeler voice for her, but Oh my.
(01:30:37):
Gosh, she is hilarious. I used to have this video from
that original 1, and it was like, wow, yeah, that that
sounds just like a tiny guitar. It's a violin, Serena.
Bro that was not. I like one time I went through
like because it's it's the Sailor Uranus like part.
(01:31:02):
So it's like it's hilarious. If you guys get to the part
where she's playing the Oh no, not it wasn't Uranus.
It was Neptune and and Neptune. We're on episode 110.
So we we just finished kind of that.
We know a little bit about Uranus and Neptune.
They got a little bit into Uranus back story.
The last thing we saw was like we saw when Neptune recruited
(01:31:25):
Uranus when they had the dreams and she was like doing the race
stuff or whatever. Oh, I see, so you're so you
didn't get so when you get to that episode where you you see
and they're playing a violin andlike Usagi like comes up and
starts talking to her. Switch to the other dub just to
watch that scene. It is.
Hilarious. Just a little guitar.
(01:31:47):
It's, it's, it's I was genuinelylike, there's no way they're
making her this dumb. It's so funny.
One of our takes while we're watching this is that we heard
so much slander on Chibi Ussa's name, and to us, Chibi Ussa is
the GOAT. We love.
We're we love. OK, so I think, I think the big
(01:32:13):
issue with Chibiyusa is that so often they always have this
uncomfortable pairing with her and Momo, right?
It's always uncomfortable. It's always uncomfortable.
But, and it's like I, I like Chibiyusa when she's a bratty
kid with Usagi and she's just having fun and and you know,
kind of this this playful dynamic.
(01:32:34):
I think it's great, but then they like just make it weird.
And when you guys watch Sailor Moon, When you guys watch Sailor
Moon Crystal. To be fair.
Oh I mean we hate. But what about black lady
though? What about black lady though?
She lit, she lit. I like black.
Coated. Cleaned everybody up.
Oh yeah, yeah, and. Then when she when she music
comes back from for Sailor Moon S and she starts trying to
(01:32:56):
figure out her powers. When her powers don't work she
still be scrapping. She gets much.
Better the. Other day.
It it's literally just her interactions with Mamaru.
It's just. Her interactions with Mamaru.
It's so weird like. We we don't even think Usagi
should be with Mamaru. We think she can do better.
Yeah, he's he's, he's. Kind of an asshole.
(01:33:16):
He's a weirdo, he's a bomb here and then.
He breaks up with her and then like ignores her.
My God, I was like those. Were hard to watch, honestly, I
think it was around the same time we were watching that where
Garp was on, on, on alert and itwas just, it was a really rough
time. Mama rule I when we watched it,
we're saying like, I don't know why anybody wants them to be
(01:33:38):
together. Like even bro in the arcade, I
forgot his name because they don't even bring him up that
much. Was like, yeah, you think I just
hang around a bunch of middle school kids all day?
Yeah, crazy. Bro I'm just at work.
Like FBI open up. Could somebody come get this
guy? You want to see what Corey got
me for Christmas? Yes.
He got me a Sailor Moon #1 box set bong.
(01:34:01):
Look at that. That's awesome.
That's so cool. Yeah, first six volumes and then
one of the things got a bunch ofprints from the anime.
So I'm going to start reading itprobably soon.
But I I'm going to finish the anime before I finish the manga
because I know that I've heard that the manga is like
significantly shorter. Yeah, it's also better.
(01:34:21):
I mean, OK, so so it the, the greatest part about the Sailor
Moon anime is that everybody is an asshole and they all probably
shouldn't be friends. They are not good people.
Like like look, look at the like.
So it reminds me of my high school friend groups.
Like like it perfectly encapsulates what a high school
girl because I went to an old girl school.
(01:34:43):
So it perfectly encapsulates what an all girl school like
group does where you know, they're all a little gay and
they all, you know, have stuff. And it's like, I'm don't even
get me started on my high schoolfriend group.
It was it was Dayton left and right at the Catholic school.
So I'm like, Oh my God. And you know, you get in a
little bit on that action, but it's like, but it's like
(01:35:05):
they're, they're all mean and they're all caddy.
And it's like, it's literally exactly like a like a Catholic
girl. It sounds like you don't like
Ray. I love Ray.
OK cool. I didn't know he was like.
Ray reminds me of my best friendin high school, I.
Think we am Ray? What do you wish, brother?
(01:35:26):
What do you? Mean.
Listen, Ray's our #1 Ray's. She keeps everything.
We call her Ray. We call her Ray Uchiha because
she's fiery. We, we love Ray and she's Ray's
our number one. And then a Sailor Jupiter after
that for us. Oh.
Yeah, yeah. I for some reason, I, I can't
get behind. I, I, I just don't see the love
(01:35:47):
of Venus. She's funny she, but I'm saying
terrible person. Like when you guys, did you guys
get to the heart crystals yet? Yes, we show that episode,
actually the last episode we. That is my favorite episode of
entire. It's my favorite episode.
Am IA good? I'm a good person yo.
When they took her soul and she still was able to move and run
(01:36:09):
and grab it, me and Danny was floored.
We could not. We literally watched it
yesterday. I shit you not, we watched it
yesterday. Yeah, it was iconic.
That's. What I'm saying it's it's like
diva, it's diva mentality. When I when I tell you when I
tell you that Venus reminds me of my other friend in high
school, like perfectly to AT I Iwill not name drop, but she
(01:36:32):
knows who she is Diva queen. If you see this, you know who
you are. You know who you are.
Every I was watching that I was like, Oh my gosh, this is just
my friend group. It's just it's amazing.
It's it truly, it truly is The the the manga is far more like
like the story pacing I think isa lot better.
(01:36:54):
It's not like the monster of theweek stuff.
I also think they go a little bit more into like the real
yeah. I mean, I, I think the first
thing about Sailor is like theirrelationships where it's like in
the anime, I feel like they theymade a lot of them.
Like there are some instances where like, you know, maybe
maybe they like each other. I think the Mega definitely
fleshes out on that more where they have like very interesting
interpersonal relationships witheach other where it's like kind
(01:37:15):
of boring and platonic and romantic, just like within the
actual Sailor group, but. The anime is hilarious where
they don't lie to you and try totell you that Uranus and Neptune
are cousins. That.
I, I love it. It's so, it's so funny because.
It's like we're having a great time.
Yeah, we're watching. We're glad we're not doing
(01:37:35):
crystal. We know Crystal is like.
More faithful. Oh whoa, we got a reaction
there. I regularly hate watch Sailor
Moon Crystal to elicit a reaction out of me because I
absolutely hate it and I know that it's it's technically
closer to the manga, but then again it's not.
(01:37:57):
I don't know I've I've gone on like full 4 hour rants about
this. I can't.
It's. Wow, we're going to well, the
way the way Kim we we are going to have to have a such crystal.
She wants us to watch crystal. Well, one, Kimmy has a horrible
attention span. So the fact that we're like
pushing through the OG night. We like the aesthetic of the
90s. We like to just learn more about
(01:38:17):
the characters and all stuff. And we know that going through
Crystal, we kind of will not have all of that.
Also more content to do the 90s you know what I mean?
To stream it right way more also.
Crystal looks weird. Yes, they look like Betty's
spaghetti. Not a fan of the crystal
designs? Yeah, it's I mean, I kind of
enjoyed somewhat the first season of Crystal as like a big
(01:38:41):
Sailor Moon fan, I well, you already know that Uranus and
Neptune are together. I absolutely hated the way they
did the relationship because in.Crystal.
Yeah, yeah, I absolutely I, I hated it as like.
And that all takes place in Season 1 of Crystal.
In season 3, like when they whenthey get to it in crystal, I
(01:39:04):
don't I don't like how they how they do the relationship.
I think it's really weird, like as you know, as as a gay person
myself and you know, as somebodywho's, you know, been in like
women, women relationships, it'sjust so weird how they do it.
And I hate it. And it makes me, I'm like, why
are they? Because they treat like Sailor
Uranus or Sailor Neptune like she just doesn't exist.
(01:39:25):
Like for the majority, like it'slike she doesn't exist in her
feelings don't matter and she's just there.
And I'm like, she was so good inthe.
Original, I can see that because, yeah, even in even in
when we watched the 90s, when wedid make a note, we were like,
so we're not going to get into like Neptune's back story.
This seems like it's about Uranus like more than anything.
And it's like we Neptune does seem like she takes such a back
(01:39:47):
seat. But at least in the 90s, because
it's pacing and doing it slower moments, you're able to know
more. We have time, you know,
Neptune's not just this mysterious, you know, nonchalant
character who's always, like, sitting behind Uranus in the
passenger seat. And that's literally all it is
in in Sailor Moon Crystal. And it makes me really upset
because like there are certain scenes where you're like, oh,
(01:40:08):
like she's like her own character too.
Like she's a part of this relationship.
She's obviously like, there's moments where she gets a little
jealous and like she's actually like in the new one, it's just
like, oh, I don't care. It's crazy 'cause like I put
Neptune, I put. It's crazy 'cause I put Neptune
above some other Sailor Scouts that we've had a lot more time,
but like, I like Neptune's vibe a lot more than I'm not trying
(01:40:32):
to shit on her. AMI I love.
I love Neptune. I, I I listen AMI.
AMI is my my goat but I I understand.
You don't want to hear our ranking then.
Oh, but she's so. Let's Let's suppose she's.
So what she's So what she's. I, I like, I, I really like how
(01:40:52):
her character develops throughout the series.
I will say in Sailor Moon Crystal, she's just nothing.
She's just a no like. In the 90s she peaked when she
had Rio. That was like the craziest
storyline. When it gets worse.
Rio. Yeah, bring back.
We've been in the trench. Let's let's just.
We've been treating watching Sailor Moon like it's One Piece.
We've been in the trenches like yo.
(01:41:14):
Let's give her our our Sailor Moon rankings real quick.
This is. This is Welcome to the Moon
Peace podcast, ladies and gentlemen, when we talk about.
Sailor Moon and One Piece these days.
So for me it's Ray again. Cory's and eyes are very
similar, but Ray, Mako, Usagi, Chibiusa, Minato, Haruka, then
(01:41:39):
Michiru, then Pluto, then on me and yes I put Pluto above on me.
I don't care. I.
Don't I like Pluto? You know what?
The one thing Sailor McChrystal does right is that they give
Pluto a little bit more grace. I love Pluto.
Really. OK, Yeah.
Listen, we saw her for a minute.Literally screen time a minute.
(01:41:59):
Yeah, and that's and like she gets like a little bit more.
I actually, I thought the movie did a really good job.
I put Pluto's. I heard.
Yeah, the the movie is actually good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would I would recommend that.
I've heard. Yeah, we're, I think we're gonna
watch the movies once we finish the whole anime and then we can
kind of go through the movies then.
Yeah, as well as you do, like, so there's like the original
(01:42:20):
Sailor Moon like TV show, and then there's like the movies for
like the 90s show. Then there's Sailor Moon
Crystal. And then they did like movies
instead of doing like seasons, Iguess.
I don't know. You'll find, you'll find very
quickly the the big issue with Sailor Moon Crystal is that
somebody has a shipping issue inthe writing room and they will,
(01:42:41):
they, they will continuously push this shipping issue even
though it's it's it, it really shouldn't you.
Can't tell us. You can't tell us.
Is it Ray and is it ray and mammal?
No, it's I wish. I wish.
'Cause I feel like the 90s was trying to push that.
No, it's it's too soggy and Sailor Uranus and they they have
(01:43:06):
like. There's moments in the 90s I see
it. When they try, there's there's
some it's, it's, it's literally the one movie.
That's all it was. I was like, whose shipping fest
is this? That's all it is.
And because she still has a girlfriend.
Yeah, and Usagi's like she was curious, but like, she still
likes Mobu. Yeah, and she's in a
(01:43:27):
relationship, in a monogamous relationship, mind you.
And it's like they really like that parish they're just trying
to add. Drama they they keep this drama
and shameless. They love they love Usagi and
whatever her name is that I'm totally blanking on.
Uranus. Yeah, Harika, Harika.
They love Usagi and Harika so much.
(01:43:49):
And it's like to to the point where it makes you feel bad for
it's Michidou. It makes you feel so bad for for
Michidou because you're like. You just be watching.
She's just I'm. Like, oh, they copped her.
Yeah, she's like copped her, I mean.
She's in a cop chair playing a little guitar.
(01:44:10):
In the original, it was always like they were, you know, like
they were the item. Like that was the one person
Harka in like the in Sailor Mcchrystal's like who's this
Uzagi? What?
Uzagi yes, it's super weird. It's so it's so weird.
Man is always that girl. She's always the one in the
past. She's the passenger Princess.
(01:44:31):
Exactly. She's always the one that like
when it when it goes back to it's like you're like, you're
the one I love. Yeah.
I I think that's why I hate Sailor McChrystal because they
just, they just made, they're sobad.
They just made, they made Harukalike to the point where it's
like Usaki. Sometimes it's like yo, I, I,
I'm in a relationship and she's like.
Shooters got Haruka Haruka. Haruka really got that dog in
(01:44:53):
her though. She'd be Wilding though.
She like all through. Like, I'm like, I'm like.
Every. Episode put somebody said no
home cuz like she'd. Be showing up like tuxedo masks,
just like out of nowhere, like hey girls, how you doing?
What's your what's your name? She'll be like touching them by
the chin, like, hey, come here. Yeah, I know.
She's crazy. I mean, I love.
(01:45:13):
She's Mr. Steal your man. She's Mr. Steal your girl.
Listen. Girl, I respect it because she
over falls every time. Oh yeah, and she pulls it off.
She's. Got it.
Sunjin woohoo. They saw hitting one of those,
I'm like, oh God. The outer like, like planets
(01:45:33):
are, are all crazy. They're they're like the only
ones that can like ever do anything.
It's hilarious. Like the inner planets are like
tiara, pari tiara. And then and then they're like,
I'm going to destroy the Earth. Here's a tsunami.
Kyogre and Groudon over here doing doing a lot.
So my ranking is Mars, then Jupiter, then Chibiusa, then
(01:45:57):
Usagi, then AMI, then Uranus, then Neptune, then Venus, then
Pluto. How do you put Army over like
the last four? I'm very surprised.
Eurasia Neptune dropped because they have been pissing me off
these past couple episodes. I got it.
They like they're they were. Over the whole.
(01:46:19):
I got over the oh you. Can have this Talisman back
because it no, you can have the card crystal back because
there's no Talisman and they're acting all fucking high and
mighty. Like, we don't believe in
communication over here. We're just over here just doing
all this stupid stuff. I was like, you could easily
just tell them who you guys are.We don't have to do this dance
now that we had to have this whole Venus episode where she
said, but what about me? What about my heart?
(01:46:40):
Right For them to finally blame?Let's reveal our identities.
But that was the best episode. It was great.
It was well we was imagine it took that long.
We was like damn it, y'all wouldbe.
And I'm sure now I'm sure that'snot how they did it in Crystal.
And they watch every guardian get got.
They had no qualms watching mad people die essentially, or
(01:47:00):
almost died. It was like we need to we need
to find the Messiah. Lisa Al Gaib.
Where is he? Where are they?
So they dropped on them. They dropped down the list for
me. But Venus, for some reason, she
just can't crawl out. She can't crawl out.
She just, I know the series was supposed to be about her in the
1st place. We know that she was the one
shot. She was the the OG and then they
(01:47:21):
said let's make another blonde girl.
We got to figure out how to put Venus back in the story somehow.
But say la Vie's going to get back in here somehow.
It's just diet Usagi. But.
She's kind of like the the number one to the number 2, you
know what I mean? Like Usagi is is dumb and like
(01:47:42):
hates fighting and doesn't want to do anything and Venus is dumb
but kind of likes fighting. Usagi and Nina go team up is
great whenever they're on screen.
Together, Shenan's I just never.I feel like the show don't give
Venus enough moments to guess. I guess maybe in the 90s, at
least that we've seen to be a leader yet.
It feels like it's Ray after like Usagi.
(01:48:04):
She's the one who's always like I, this is what we gonna do.
And so we gotta do. I'm a Chasta.
Ray is the Zorro. Ray is the.
Yeah, Ray is like type A personality, you know what I
mean? Oh yeah, she's the go getter.
I love Ray, she's the best. We did not know this was going
to delve into a Sailor Moon stream because we don't get to
talk about Sailor Moon honestly with other people besides each
(01:48:25):
other. Because even when we talk about
it like Kimmy, I think because she hasn't seen it more
recently, we make we make jokes now telling her that when this
is over, we're going to be biggest Sailor Moon fans in her.
So like. She also never read the manga
so. Yeah, she never read the she
refuses to read the manga just because.
But she loves Crystal so. Corey got her one of these too.
(01:48:45):
She should. Read.
She should read it. She's not gonna.
She's not. Gonna open it.
It's it's it's so much better than crystal.
Crystal. I think she also thinks, Do you
feel like we should actually watch Crystal for the love?
Of the game I think I think you should watch crystal and then we
can have I can go on a full rantand tell you every single part
of crystal that I. We'll invite Kimmy for this.
(01:49:05):
We'll invite. Kimmy for this too.
And it's not even like it's terrible.
I mean the transformations are God awful.
They're they're not. I mean they they eventually get
better. Well, because they use like CGI
for it. So it's like not good.
That's a. Shame that's just they
eventually. Changed.
It yeah, they they eventually changed it because the fan
backlash was so bad. Like it was so bad that they
(01:49:29):
were like, OK, we'll we'll change it.
And it's not like the entire series is terrible, but there
are certain things where it's like, sometimes you're watching
it and you're like, I feel uncomfortable.
Like this is weird. I think I'm going to have to
start the first season like tonight.
You kid that's going to waste it.
You you want to live stream Crystal?
(01:49:49):
We might as well we doing this so far and she's still watching
One Piece. She's only in Skypea we got to
make. A.
Why do I keep having to hold myself back from watching the
anime that I want to watch? Because we have.
AI want to watch Jojos but I can't watch Jojos.
I want to watch Crystal. I honestly trust not.
I would have been finished with Sailor Moon if it wasn't for the
(01:50:10):
fact that we have to do like bi weekly live streams.
I would have been. Finished.
That's tough. That's tough.
Sailor Moon is like test. So many episodes too. 200 that's
light work. Light work, no reaction.
If if you want to if you want towatch something like really good
in the meantime, you should watch Blood Blockade
Battlefront. You know what people?
I've watched it, you know. What's it?
People have told me no, I know Ihaven't.
(01:50:32):
The only and it has A and it hasa really good intro.
The only blood blockade I've watched is Tong and on key so Oh
my God get off your high horse bro.
I'll watch it, I'll watch it, I'll watch.
It but OK, now we. Now for real.
