One Piece Eps 845-847

As the chaos in the Seducing Woods ramps up, the Straw Hats continue their frantic escape from Big Mom, who’s literally tearing the forest apart. Nami makes a shocking power move by turning Zeus into her personal lightning pet, but even that isn’t enough to stop Mama’s wrath as Kingbaum is obliterated by Prometheus. Meanwhile, Pudding recruits Chiffon in a last-ditch effort to save Sanji and his crew. Chopper and Brook reclaim the Shark Submerge and rush back to the Sunny, only to find it swarming with Big Mom Pirates—including Perospero and Katakuri. Back on the battlefield, the Straw Hats take down a pursuit squad, but Big Mom keeps charging, undeterred by Nami’s thunderbolt. As the dust settles, Pudding and Chiffon reach Sanji just in time, but Mama’s not done yet—another massive attack is already on the way.

Episode Transcript

(00:01):
You snooze, you'll lose. You snooze, you'll lose.
That's right. And you, if there's one thing
about you, dude, you're not a loser.
Hey, wait, not a loser, but Oh yeah.
I mean. You did snooze, but but you, you
will lose. You woke to the call, You rose
to the occasion. I set alarms.
It's true even though I still had to call you and wake you.

(00:24):
Up SH SH SH details. Yeah, it's all right.
Not not pointing any fingers here at anyone in particular.
Who? Could we possibly be doing that
about? I just no one, no one that
everyone shows up to the podcaston time and when they're asked
and definitely does not need roughly 6 to 18 calls to try and

(00:48):
get them to show up. What?
Now. Now never.
You know, it's kind of crazy because normally he sleeps just
in the office underneath his chair, so to find him not there
this time was kind of intriguing.
I wonder where he even bothered to pass out this time.
Should we put an Amber Alert outfor him?
Oh no, I mean, I'm sure he'll turn up at some point.
He probably just got sidetracked.

(01:09):
A bodega, if anything. Than bacon, egg and cheese,
salt, pepper, ketchup. Always get him that that Tex Mex
burrito calling his name. Did I say that right?
What? Bacon, egg, cheese, salt,
pepper, Ketchup. Yeah, that's how the New Yorkers
would say it, more or less. OK, OK, OK.
I just wanted to make sure I, I said it, you know, in the Lords
Tongue. Yeah, I, it's very respectful of

(01:30):
you to to, to keep in line with their culture.
Yeah, I think they'll appreciatethat.
Trying to get more culturally aware.
Yeah, yeah. It's very, it's very honorable,
very noble of you to go out of your way to really learn the
pronunciation of the native New York phrase by word.
Excuse me? I don't want to be a New York

(01:55):
weeaboo, you know, I want to come in with proper New York.
Yeah, yeah, Give me, let's, let's actually see there's like
one or two other phrases I know of.
Give me a. Give me a I'm walking here.
And I'm walking here. That's pretty good.
Maybe with a little bit more, maybe a little louder, a little
more walking. Here.

(02:23):
There. Oh, that was good that yeah,
you. I think you'd fit right in with
that one. What about what about a what
about a dust off your Tims? That's another one I know.
A dust off my Tims dust. Off your Tims, yeah.
Like that? That's the sentence dust.
Off your tims. Dust off your Tims.
That's pretty good. Yeah, yeah, it's not bad.

(02:43):
You know, I think I think I think your lessons have have
done pretty I've done pretty good for you.
I. Feel like there's only one other
thing which I could think of which is to get like
irrationally mad about someone walking slow in front of.
So you're just you're in New York, Yeah.
Yeah, Did I pass? Oh yeah?
Well, yeah, that's not a phrase.It's just a state of mind.
Yeah, that when they talk. That's what I mean.

(03:06):
Yeah, when they talk about the New York State of mind, that
that is what they're talking about, not the Grind said.
Not paying $4000 a month in the.Way I'm trying to make it to the
tram, the train tram train I don't know I've been playing too
many too much city skylines yeahfuck out of the way I'm.

(03:26):
Walking here well with that lesson in New York culture, I or
really that example of how what you've learned about New York
culture. Let's jump right into that One
Piece thing that we're supposed to be doing here.
That that anime, that anime thatepitomizes the heart of New York

(03:47):
One Piece. All right, I'm going to read
this stupid summary. As Big Mom unleashes devastating
attacks, the Sanji Retrieval team urges King Balm to keep
going as they head into the Seducing Woods.
But not before our large Tree take.
Not before our Large Tree Uber takes a huge hit from Mama.

(04:11):
Nami manages to win Zeus to her side by feeding him tasty
thunderclouds, but Prometheus and King bomb once and for all,
setting him a blaze in spectacular fashion as the Big
Mom pirates lie in wait to ambush their enemies from every
possible location. Meanwhile, Putting catches up to
Veggie and asks Chiffon for help, saying that she wants to

(04:33):
stop Big Mom to save Sanji and his friends.
Chopper and Brooke reach the sharks submerged, free it from
its sweet cream shackles, and travel towards the 1000 sunny
back of the Seducing Woods. Luffy's group continues fleeing
from Big Mom on foot as the TreeHomies shift the landscape.
The Straw Hats clash with a pursuit squad and swiftly defeat
them, with Big Mom closing in onthem.

(04:56):
Nami uses her new pal Zeus to bring a huge Thunderbolt down on
her. Chopper and Brooke return to the
Sunny to find the ship occupied by a slew of Big Mom pirates,
including her eldest sons Para, Sparrow and Katakuri.
To take back the ship. The pair begin battling the
crew. Chiffon agrees to go with
Pudding to help save the Straw Hats and part ways with Veggie.

(05:17):
Big Mom unfortunately withstood Nami's attack and continues her
pursuit, letting not even the very earth beneath her feet stop
her from getting to that wedding.
Cakey Headed Pudding and Chiffonarrive at the Seducing Woods
just in time to recruit Sanji, and he agrees to go with them
right as Big Mom fires off another Ekoku sovereignty and

(05:39):
Sanji totally managed to grab onto that flying carpet.
Damn it, so close to greatness. What?
Oh, give me some, Dad. Yeah.
Remember what we said last week about how there's it's like
something really dumb is going to help them get away?

(06:01):
Yeah, I remember us being boy, being worried about it.
It's here the dumb things here. What's the dumb thing?
Clouds eating clouds and cake. Well, yeah, I, I wasn't, I'm,
I'm not terribly happy about Zeus eating thunderclouds that
Nami makes from the Klima talk and now and then being friend

(06:23):
for a while, basically still is for that, for that part.
He's just sort of not there right now.
I'm sure he'll be back, but who knows?
Who knows exactly what side he'll land on.
But yeah, I, I think that I, I think this isn't as bad as it
could have been. It is wonky and I'm not the

(06:43):
hugest fan, but mostly because with this we're there have been
other examples of this kind of but with this we're playing
we're we're continuing to play fast and loose with the rules of
Big Mom's power and how much authority she has over the
things that she gives souls and parts of her own soul.

(07:06):
Because at some points she's shown to have complete authority
over things that she uses her power on.
And they obey no matter what. But then Zeus decides he wants a
little snacky and king bomb is alittle bit horny and they just
sort of can resist for a while. Big moms influence.

(07:28):
So I. Fucking obnoxiously stupid.
What I'm saying or is there something else?
No, that well, like what you're talking about like, like the the
the wish washiness of her ability.
Yeah, like the fact that the first King Bomb was able to
resist her as a whole seems kindof what the fuck is happening

(07:51):
here. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know if it's ever made clear I I can't remember if King
Bomb actually has a piece of hersoul or not, or if he's got some
rando soul in him. But regardless.
Regardless, he's told several times in what seemed to be
commands from Big Bomb to to to cut this shit out and and stop

(08:13):
helping the Straw Hats. And on multiple occasions even
before this point, he is shown to be able to resist or for some
reason the paper that Nami has is more influential.
Imagine being outdone by a pieceof paper.
Hey man, when you infuse a pieceof paper with your own soul,
then I guess the jokes on you, you're you only got yourself to

(08:34):
blame at that point. But.
It's not even your soul, really.Well, it does it The the the the
paper has Big Mom's soul in it. Oh, I thought I had.
Lola's no Lola gave it to her, gave it to Nami, but it still
has, it's still a it's still, it's still made with Big Mom's
soul energy. I never put that much thought

(08:54):
into it. I mean it's it stated multiple
times early on in this. Oh, yeah, I, I, I that that's on
me. That's on me.
But yeah, but the whole just to me, it just feels like we're
running into another, we're running arc and they're dragging
out even into the sea or soon tobe into the sea now.
And it's just like, I'm so disappointed in this.

(09:15):
Like this is I, I, I don't know about you but like it.
Just this just feels like a major let down of just like this
is this is obnoxious now at thispoint.
I think I it is not the most funway to deal with this arc or Big
Mom and her crew. I am less annoyed with this

(09:36):
version of it than the Dressarosa run piece arc,
because here we have a clear goal, a much clearer goal.
We are actively trying to get away from this threat that is
insurmountable. And I'm going to, I'm going to
kind of go back a little bit on my statements for Big Mom being

(09:56):
so stupidly Opie. It is true.
And Luffy and company are just not in a position to be able to
take her on right now toe to toewithout some sort of underhanded
tactic and at first. Well, even with underhanded
tactics, it didn't. Work Exactly.
Even even with even with underhanded tactics and

(10:19):
meticulous planning, they still couldn't deal a blow to her
because she's just too strong. And initially that and for the
last week or two, we talked about it last week and probably
the week before too, that she's just becoming so stupidly
broken, more so than Doflamingo even.
And that is still true. But I think, I think after

(10:42):
thinking about it for a while, it's, it's less of a problem in
my mind. It's not the first time we've
done this. We've had this happen before
with the with Saba Oti pre time skip, with the Kumas and Kizuru
and all that. So we've run into walls where we
needed to walk ourselves back a little bit and discover how we

(11:04):
can how we can go about this challenge.
Now are we, am I saying that we're going to end up in another
time skip? No, absolutely not.
But. Could you imagine like like
every other arc is another two year?
Ties, you know, honestly, this isn't the, it's not the worst

(11:26):
thing in the world if we get to see a little bit of it and
they're not all split off. Sword Art Online, our asses.
Yeah. Or just like, Oh yeah, Juano,
remember that place? Yeah, we're going to gloss over
it. Yeah.
I mean, there, there have been shows in the past that have done
long stretches of time in their show.
It's not unheard of. Do I?

(11:48):
Is it a good story implement? No.
Always. I won't say it's not good
because sometimes it's done tastefully, not in two year
stretches necessarily, but something like the early steps
of Demon Slayer was wasn't bad. He spends he spends months on
end training and it's worthwhilebecause you see the incremental

(12:09):
progress he makes. That's not a time skip though.
That's just a that that's. Just right, it's not a direct
time skip, but it's a large period of time being just kind
of glossed over and saying that this was dedicated to training.
That's kind of where I it's not directly like, hey, we're you're
going to see fuck off for the next two years of this
character's lives. Yeah, it wasn't that that's what

(12:31):
we got in one piece, but yeah, if there was literally another
one of those, it would be kind of silly.
But if we got two years, but we saw incremental progress, then
I'd I'd feel differently becauseI'd feel part of the process,
you know what I mean? But for every character.
Yeah, I mean that's that's the other half of this is that is
that One Piece has 99 main characters, so.

(12:56):
Yeah, that would be painful. I it wouldn't be the best thing
in the world, it would basicallybe its own mini arc.
At that point you'd have like a like AI don't even know.
The dumbbell arc. The dumbbell arc, yeah, no, I
was trying to, I was trying to make a length comparison, but I
can't remember. I was, I was going to say like a
Punk Hazard length arc, but PunkHazard was a little longer than

(13:17):
I would say would be, would be atraining arc for the for the the
Strat. Oh man, I don't know.
I'm just, I don't know. I think I'm just out hold caked
if that makes sense. Like I've run out of gas.
Yeah, you're caked out and cakedup.
Yeah, and I'm looking caked up, but it's, I'm not feeling caked

(13:39):
up, you know? I'm not feeling very caked up,
Mr. Stark. I'm.
Not turns to ash, but but. It but is Ashley's last because
it's so gummy thick. I could still hear him clapping
now, but I I don't know what it is about the the right now.

(14:07):
It's just this is it. It feels like they're dragging
it on for no point. In a sense.
Like it makes sense that they have to drag it out the way that
they are, but like, it just feels like, oh God, this is
going to be another like 20 episodes of them running and
dealing with the water and Oh no, now we're going to have, you

(14:28):
know, pirate ships. First off, if Big Mom is able to
walk through the water Godzilla style, I'm going to be pissed.
I'm we can't possibly go this far, she's still a devil Fruit
user. If she does, I'm going to be.
I I will be too. I'll be right there with you
dude. It just it would break all of

(14:48):
the laws. They kind of implied it at one
point and I was like, don't I, don't you dare.
Well I her walking through the ground is different than her
walking through water. Ground is ground is harder to
walk through like that, yes, butthe water is supposed to have
the emphasis on supposed to makeher weaker as a devil for user

(15:09):
so. Are those other people that
can't that have done it? I remember.
Well, that, that's like they step into a little bit of water
and ODA forgets his rules. Kinda.
Remember, remember the elephant guy?
The elephant guy just stands on Zunisha.
His water is just yes. Yes, I do remember.

(15:31):
I remember that. Yeah, look, I'm not saying it's
a perfect system and I was angryat the time too then, but this
is. If if Big Mom, I'm just saying
it right now. If Big Mom walks in the ocean
and is unfazed, we riot. I.
I'm there with you, everyone. I'll sharpen my pitchfork.
No one listening. You get your pitchforks ready,
get your, you know, your torchesready.

(15:51):
Like we, we ride. Yeah, we burn the sharpening my
torch. And lighting and lighting my
pitchfork. I, I, Yeah, I, I don't
necessarily hate exactly where we're going.
It's it's mildly interesting that we're at least going to
have some semblance of a plan here with this cake.
So which is another point of talking that we went through

(16:14):
last week where I we basically kind of we basically called this
at the end of the day where it with putting a turn of face on
this and the cake being some sort of trap for Big Mom.
The cake's a lie, but it's also the.
Cake's a lie, but it is. But it isn't.
But it is what that cake do, that sort of vibe, you know?

(16:36):
And so why, while the the the truth was being told about all
of these ingredients and having them and making a cake, it was
also true that Pudding is doing this for the benefit of Sanji
especially and then his friends by proxy.
So I will say I love putting sooner take.

(16:56):
Where she just has this multiplepersonality thing going on.
Oh. I love it, Yeah.
Where? Where it's like, I wish you to
fucking die but. While she's blushing and kind of
has hard eyes. Exactly.
Exactly. Yeah.
And Sanji's just seeing through the bullshit like this is.
She's weird, but I can work withthis.

(17:17):
Yeah, it is. I, I do.
I, I hate it. I hate that she's she's in this
because position, but at least at least we've got this version
where she's still kind of got the crazy and I can I can at
least I can at least eat the crumbs of this of what's left of
evil pudding and and and enjoy that.

(17:38):
I guess, because she's not she'snot full.
She is definitely infatuated with Sanji.
There's no there's no ifs, ands or buts about that.
She's just being extremely sooner about it, like you said,
and I I dislike that she's been turned so drastically to Sanji's
good graces. But at least for now, we've got

(17:59):
this version of her where I can kind of enjoy some evil pudding
for a little while longer. I have a feeling it won't last,
but I will be happily. I'm happy to be to be disproven
on that. If she continues this trend
while they're baking the cake, it could lead to some funny
moments, and I'm here for that. The three of them I have.
A feeling it's going to stay forquite.

(18:20):
I feel like this is going to be her ongoing bit where she's just
like I don't know if I'm adorable or if a young I don't.
Have it the only, the only the only.
I want it. I want to believe this so bad.
But even in the one episode, shestarts off super switching back

(18:40):
and forth between evil and loveydovey.
But then by the end of the episode 847, she's trending more
towards she's looks angry, evil,her face is shadowed and has the
the lines drawn on it, but she'ssaying the lovey dovey things.
So even in this episode, she's trending towards full lovey

(19:02):
dovey mode. And I'm I'm thinking to myself,
come on, keep the keep the evil bit around for a for a little
longer. Hatred flow through you pudding
and make some some great. I'm I'm looking for for baking
bits here. I want them to be chefing it up
in the kitchen, baking this fucking cake and evil pudding.

(19:26):
Just saying some off the wall stuff, just just really letting
the intrusive thoughts win. Wow.
And Chiffon is just she's doing puddings there like that.
Sanji is just dealing with it because he wants to be next to
the pretty girl. And then Chiffon is the only one
holding the ship together. Just being like, can you guys

(19:47):
fucking not both of you for yourfor your individual reasons,
just stop So we can do this. This, this has potential.
I'm here for this part. I want I'm looking forward.
It's probably one of the only things I'm looking forward to in
the coming the coming week slashweeks because whatever the other
group has to do. Stave off Big Mom is probably

(20:09):
going to not be as good. It's going to be like the same
shit that we've been seeing, which is them running, kicking
an attack that way or dodging itor, you know, doing something
stupid. To cut back to the actual good
part of the show, which is the Gordon Ramsay of this is this is
a sandwich. We're trying to make a cake.
Why are you making a sandwich? Oh.

(20:30):
No, what are you? I'm an 88 page.
I don't know why, but my brain right now, I don't, I don't even
know the name of the show. I just know like the song is
like if you want to make a cake or something like that, like
it's like a very like like it's a kids show, right?
But it like there's like puppet people in it.

(20:52):
It's where the the rat, the Johnny Rotten guy came from or
whatever it's called. There's a song.
It's like literally it's just like it's time to make a cake.
And I'm just imagining that. I.
This is going to drive me nuts. Hold on.
Yeah, I'm, I'm not sure what you're talking about.
I might, but I can't think of a.Cake Song.
Lazy Town. Oh, cooking by, oh, cooking by

(21:14):
the book. That's what you're talking
about, OK. Yeah, I'm just imagining this is
what we're going to we're. Going to see Oh that'd be great.
It's going to be a musical number or something because for
some reason this arc is just full of them.
When I was read, when I was reading, when I was watching
Twitch streams more often, therewere there was one streamer who

(21:37):
had had a notification redeem for for bits or whatever.
That was a section of that song,but it was a parody with some
rapper. I want to say, I want to say, I
want to say it was X, but I can't remember who.
I can't. I don't.
That doesn't sound right. I think I I think I know which
one it was little. John, It was Little John.

(21:58):
That's what it was. Yeah.
Little John. Yeah.
It was Cooking by the Book remixfeaturing one of Lil Jon's song,
and I can't remember which one it was now, but yeah, I.
Remember those? Those are so funny.
Any time that you see like kid shows mixed with like like

(22:19):
rapper songs, it's always hilarious. 100% never never
forget Thomas the Tank Engine with DMX.
I thought it was a no no no. Thomas the Tank Engine with,
what's his name, Biggie Smalls? That one also true.
Yeah, there's a lot of, there's a lot of a lot of a lot of

(22:40):
classics out there. Good time, good time.
Yeah. So if we could, if we could just
put that, that Little John Lazy Town remix over a scene of the
three of them cooking in the, inthe, in the, in the, in the
kitchen at some point. That will probably, I'm sure
we'll get a scene of it next week, probably.
So whatever that looks like, I, I, that's what's going to be
playing in my head the entire time I watch whatever happens on

(23:02):
my screen. I'm going to, when I stream it
for everyone, I'm going to put, I'm going to put it as like
background. Music.
And just have. It on find a find a loop or make
a loop. Oh God.
All right, let's let's let's rewind a little bit here.
We talked a lot about the the back half of the episodes, but
on the front, on the front half,we've got we've got our boy,

(23:25):
the, the man, the myth, the legend, the tree of all time,
king bomb. RIP around.
Just getting the rawest end of the deal ever.
Dude. He.
Got he got fucked over but but part of me also doesn't believe
he's dead dead part of me feels like he got grooted where like
now he's like a little baby plant somewhere just hanging out

(23:50):
with like his fiance. Yeah, that would be great.
I. Don't.
I don't know, that would be hilarious.
But also I'd hate it because then again, not even the trees
can. Not even the tree that was
engulfed by a literal son dies. But it's fine.
I, you know, I, we, we like, we like King Balm.
So would I be mad? Not necessarily.

(24:11):
This is One Piece after all. Things tend to not die very
often in the show. We I'm always mad.
We live explosions. Yeah, just I'll be a little less
mad because King Balm honestly has gotten that he's he's just
taking all of the LS. Let's be honest, he has not
gotten a single. Break.
Bells, you say he deserves it, undeserve it.

(24:34):
Yes, he does not. He doesn't deserve this smoke.
He just wanted to hang out with his with his girlfriend.
Missus. Missus tree I think.
I want to know her name. She has a name.
I think he literally referred toher as Missus tree or something
to that effect. Or miss tree.
Her name is a mystery. Google it I'm.
Afraid lady tree. It was Lady tree either way.

(24:57):
Don't even know if your fiance is white.
Your name? Jesus Christ.
That's her. That's that's her name.
She is she is referred to as Lady Tree and he is King Mom.
They are, they are, they are engaged to be married and accept
King Bomb might not exist anymore.
But hey, if if he is in a grooded scenario then for a

(25:19):
while they'll be they'll be pretty close in size.
Get some saperlings if you know.What I mean do a little bit of
branch splicing. There's like an actual bot
botany term for this right? Where you take branches off of
one plane, put them on another. I forget some someone out there
knows the word and I'm too lazy to Google.

(25:41):
I've already googled like 4 things this episode.
We're only 1/2 hour in. My fingers are tired.
But yeah. So rib eye and king bomb.
He didn't deserve the smoke and hopefully, hopefully comes back.
But more importantly, we have this this whole subplot with
Nami just one by one being able to seduce in or turn steel these

(26:04):
these different Big mom, big momsoul infused homies.
And the latest on the list is Zeus with and we kind of touched
on it. But Devin, what are we?
What are we feeling about this in more detail?
Hey, it's so dumb. It's it's so dumb.
I I like I get it, but it's dumb.
What what else? Like I can't even like
extrapolate on it like Big Mom should have more authority over

(26:30):
he was riding her. She was riding him.
How did? How did they what?
The fuck I love. I love too that this doesn't
even happen by accident. Nami Big Mom is riding on top of
Zeus towards them at Mach 17 andNami just goes you know what?
You know what clouds really love?
Thunder clouds. Or.

(26:50):
Thunder and she just starts making them by that logical
alone and and and it works is the is the worst part of it.
It's so dumb. This is.
It's just a dumb idea. It's a dumb, stupid idea.
And it worked. Yeah, sorry.

(27:12):
Go on. So dull.
I got nothing. It's just.
So yeah, I I think that the, herinitial idea is it out of
nowhere and makes little sense. Yeah, but it's not the that's
One Piece shenanigan stuff that I'm kind of OK with.
It's the part where Prometheus, excuse me, Zeus just has the

(27:35):
ability now to disobey mom's orders because he wants a snack.
That's that's the part that getsme is that we're we're we're
bending the rules too much. Not me being like, hey, I'm
going to feed thunderclouds to the thunderclouds.
Sure, whatever that that that's fine.
Goofy weird idea, sure, but thenthen Zeus having the ability to

(27:59):
just to just say no and continueto eat these thundercloud snacks
is just it's a little, it's a little more than I'm willing to
bend on for this. It's it's like if I'm being
chased by a horse with a knight on it who really wants to kill
me and I hold out a carrot and the horse magically kicks the
knight off because carrot. It's it's dumb.

(28:21):
Like I see the logic for using the carrot that, you know, that
if they were separated, but likehe was, they were riding it.
Yeah, they were actively in control of it.
To suddenly not have control. Randomly, yeah.
And then and then later in the episode to demonstrate that she
has control over all of the homies will listen to her just

(28:43):
because she. Yeah.
It's so loosey goosey. Yeah, I don't know, man.
I don't care how tasty your clouds are like this doesn't
make sense. However, I will say I will say
watching Nami do the Zeus tempo or whatever the full name was

(29:04):
that that that looked that animation looks really cool
where he's like, I'm all blissful.
Oh God no. The the ground is coming really
close and then being a giant lightning ball but like slide.
Yeah, that was curly, Curly Q lightning bolt it was.
Exactly. Yeah.
But then it just reinforces the the idea of she's just built

(29:28):
different. This is so dumb.
Yeah, the claim of talked is just two OP as it's always been
stated and has been warned of us.
No, I was referring to OP as in big.
Well, yeah, I mean, we've already we're, we're well
established on this point. Like, like, not me being OP, you
know, is worn off on me. Like, it it that that's just

(29:49):
nonsense. But the rarity of her doing it
is so far and few between that it doesn't really bother me.
Yeah, but it bothers me. I'm.
I'm kidding. It bothers me when you're lying.
Yeah. Why?
Why doesn't she had so many fights this way, so many
difficulties they could just gone?
She just doesn't. She's too busy reacting and

(30:10):
hiding. Yeah, she she's not one of the
cowards trio for for no reason. So with that, that part
necessarily kind of out of the way then then we then we just
kind of continue the chase scene.
There's not too much else to thespecific seducing woods, chasing
outside of them, finally using their fucking brains and going

(30:34):
above the tree line to find out where the sunny is.
I've been, I forgot to mention it last week, but this week when
it became particularly poignant to have this be a strategy that
they can use. I was.
I was yelling at my screen for the first episode.
Just go above the trees. The trees are making it hard for

(30:58):
us to figure out our path and wekeep getting turned around.
OK, go, go bigger. Go higher.
One of you can fly go up. There there are multiple of you
that can that can get up above the tree line easily and and
finally we did it. Pedro was not the one I expected
to step up in this regard. I expected Sanji, the guy who

(31:21):
can walk on air, to do it, but I'm fine with Pedro too because
honestly, as far as other characters that we have with us
right now go, Pedro is up there with one as one of my favorites.
I I like Pedro still a lot, really.
I do. I like Pedro.
He has those good moments back when he's fighting Baron Tamago
and we learn his back story and we learn about that.

(31:44):
You hated that? I told.
Don't you remember that? I hated, I hated that fight.
I thought it was so. Fucking dead.
I don't remember this. I'm sure you did, but I don't.
Yeah. Well, I, I enjoyed it.
I I, I, I enjoyed the sprinkle of of Pedro's back story and how
he got here and what, like why he's useful to the crew and was

(32:04):
so insistent on coming with them.
It was it was nice. I.
Will say though in current moments the best pager moment
was where he lights Sanji's cigarette and Sanji's just like
this is very convenient. Yeah, that's great.
I did dig that. Yeah, it's a little moment.
It's fun little thing. But at the same time, poor

(32:25):
timing to have a cigarette. You have you're.
You're still running. Yeah, look there, there's a lot
of that in these episodes. I'm sure it's not going to.
Like the AH, we should turn. Like big moms in the hole, we
should turn and run. No, what is that noise?
No, just fucking run. Yeah, if they didn't have
superpowers, none of these characters would live through a

(32:46):
horror. Movie.
Seriously, they're all checking the basement to see if there's
like a ghost down there. They're all walking the halls of
the house going guys, guys, it'snot funny.
Come out now and then, and then the murderer gets them.
Yeah, they're. But it's not actually murder
because it's 1B so they get likeπ.

(33:06):
In the face, yeah, it's all, it's all just a prank, bro.
To get their shadows stolen. Moria's back.
Oh shit. Because we kind of had that
moment in the Moria. It's true.
Bring Moria back. Don't actually do that.
Could you imagine? As far as we know, he's dead.

(33:27):
I don't know. I don't.
Think he is. I don't necessarily think he is
either, but he has been stated to be dead so who the hell
knows. He'll be back.
I'm sure it is that they. How do you think, how do you how
do you think that them getting on the boats going to go?
I don't fucking. I don't fucking know, dude.
I, I'm, I, I really, I really don't.
They're by my assumption right now is probably one of two

(33:53):
things. Either Beji has some turn of
turn of thought, turn of face and makes way for the straw hat
boat and in order to back them up and then that he can help
them get the big Mom pirates offof his ship so that they can
sail off. Or, and this one maybe I don't
know both of them equally make less sense because my my other

(34:18):
theory is that Jeremiah shows up.
They will probably have their own own ship, I guess.
Bet you could have his ship too.So I those are my assumptions.
One of one of those two groups of people is probably going to
come to their aid. Because right now, Big Mom's two
eldest sons and arguably the strongest of her kids are
standing on the deck of the Sunny right now, and only Brooke

(34:41):
and Chopper are there to stand against them.
And I like Brooke, but I don't think he's got the dog in him to
take on both of all the big momssons.
I I chopper definitely doesn't. But what I'm mildly afraid of is
that choppers love of sweets will allow him to one be one
Pero Sparrow, the candy guy, which is both, which is both

(35:04):
funny and not. I don't know where I truly land
on this because on the one hand,it's it's give, it's giving
Chopper the only reason he can win a fight against someone
stronger because Chopper has no,Chopper's not that powerful.
He's just kind of cute for the sake of it these days.
And then but then on the other hand, that's like one of the
most One Piece bits on the face of One Piece.

(35:26):
You know, Luffy does this all the time where he eats his way
out of problems. So.
He literally did it to he. Literally did it to a Graham
cracker guy earlier in this arc and and repeatedly does this so
and Chopper. Chopper himself did it 2 seconds
ago. Not to another person, but to
get the shark submerge free fromthe river I.

(35:47):
Forgot to say that. So when they first opened the
submarine and it's full of wood cream, First off that's how
submarines don't work. Second off I was like Oh no.
So with cream pie. Yeah, how the fucking to get in
there? That's what I'm trying to figure
out. It should have been perfect.
It should be. Completely sealed off, airtight,
water tight. There's no reason cream should

(36:10):
also be on the inside of the shark.
Sharks emerge for any reason they.
It was just. I mean obvious it was definitely
for the bit but but. I have a feeling, I have a
feeling moving on from those. I have a feeling that the, the,
the way that they get like them off the ship is that the Fishman

(36:31):
pirates show up because they kind of hinted at it with like,
look, it's, it's, it's the mermen.
And you know, Brooke like does his little turn.
He goes like in picturing like amermaid lady.
He's like where, where and he goes no mermen.
And he goes, I, I don't care. I do not care.
And like he just like refuses tolook at them.
I have a feeling that the one, the mermen are up to something

(36:53):
with the sea creatures and two, they might be they might have
something to do with helping them get on the sunny and get
the sunny moving towards what isit, Chocolate Chateau?
Chocolate Island, Chocolate Town.
One of those. Cake baking place, Yeah.
So I feel like that is going to be the case.

(37:14):
Yeah, I, you know, I, I completely forgot about this
moment. It was, it was so sort of
happened and then kind of forgetthat I, that's exactly, that's
exactly what I did. I, I forgot it happened.
It's OK. I think, I think part of me in
the moment too thought that maybe Chopper was looking at
those manta ray telephone devices and thinking that maybe

(37:39):
they were mermen. But I it could be, it could be
what you're talking about. I I think the the manta ray
things were of red herring. Yeah, totally.
I could totally see that Now, now, now they're putting
pointing it out that way. I it's totally possible.
This is definitely a tactic thatODA has used in the past to
redirect your attention. So I I think you could be right.

(38:02):
It's less obvious than than Beggie or or the Yeah.
Because beggie's like on the opposite end of the island.
Like the fact that even like pudding and chiffon Chiffon are
able to get there so damn quickly is mind boggling.
But at the same time flying. Yeah, yeah, apparently flying
also just kind of low key let's you teleport places.

(38:25):
You just move so fast that you get there no time at all.
So I don't know Beji's Beji and his crew could could show up at
any at any given time And and Derma they have, they have the
island on snails so they can go wherever they want.
Once they've taken their, their,their stuff back there, they've
expelled all the big mom piratesthat are hanging out on their

(38:48):
island. So it could be, I think the the,
the, the, the, the merman pirates.
That's a good call. Jim Bay's crew coming back.
It wouldn't be the first time that pirate crews are given
orders from their captain and then they disobey them.
For the good of being like you. We couldn't leave you behind,
Captain. You knew we had to come back.
The Fishman Island safe. Yeah.

(39:09):
Power French. Yeah.
Alright. I could see it happening.
I wonder. I, I just wonder, I don't know,
I, I, I keep coming back on it. I don't want to harp on it
again, but I they have to bake acake in like so fucking quickly.
Right, like how long does it take to bake?
Like the simplest. The simplest cake on the planet.
I probably like 1/2 hour or 45 minutes or something.

(39:31):
You whip up the ingredients, toss it in for half an hour or
something. Probably is good.
Because like assuming Sanji and them get there way before, you
know, like the pirate career do right?
I I could somewhat suspend my disbelief that they could be
sailing around for 30 something minutes.
But at the same time, the way that, excuse me, the way that

(39:53):
one piece be doing things, it's like this is going to be the
longest fucking cake we're ever going to be watching.
Or it could be something like 1 episode in and out.
Yeah, I I don't know. It definitely could go either
way. The the the simplest cake, you
know, clocking in at 45 minutes between prep and cook time, bake
time, sure, but then we're making a whole fucking wedding

(40:14):
cake. You know, I I can only assume
they're planning on making a tower and cake.
If the animatic is to be believed, they're going to make
a cake that's three times the size of the ship they're going
to load it up on and then let the Big Mom go to town.
So. So who knows?
But yeah, any logical? Watch them make a cake for like

(40:37):
normal people that. Would be hilarious.
And then they just throw. It in their mouth that's that's
barely a. No, they -1 Big Mom, she's in
the water, the the ships are sailing around her.
She's waddling through the watercause logic and they fucking use
the plane to suicide bomb. Oh my God, they yeah, they.
They got the cake. We're just, we're making -1

(40:58):
again, baby. It's Godzilla all the way down.
She's already making Godzilla noises.
Last week's so it's so why not? Why stop there, Godzilla?
I mean, Big Mom is just Godzilla.

(41:20):
The hunger pangs are just her charging up her atomic breath.
Except it's like. Cake breath or something, I
don't know. That's what the Eco Co
sovereignity is, yeah. Oh my God, it is.
It's. Really, it really is just a beam
move. Now, now now it makes more sense
that she's overpowered. That explains her hard ass skin.

(41:45):
Even a 20 millimetre couldn't ifyou don't get these jokes.
Go listen to our It should be, and if it's not then it should
be by the time this comes out. And if not, then we're liars and
I don't know, sue me. At least don't.

(42:06):
No, you got a lawyer. So I mean, you still have a
lawyer, right? License.
All right. Well, looks like we're going on
lawyer.com or something for our next when we get sued by
somebody. Wait a second, isn't Dylan
notarized? No, I don't think that's true
unless he unless he went and gotthat done but didn't tell me.

(42:30):
Send Dylan to lawyer school. Dylan barely has time to edit
the podcasts. Yeah, he probably will.
Cut down on eating time and Dylan, and then you'll be able
to afford lawyer time. Passes the bar first time.
Passes the brasses the bar as quickly.
Ends up suing us under the ground for slavery.

(42:54):
Never mind go back, wrong timeline I.
I don't even know what else there is to talk about in these
episodes. It's it's a whole lot of run and
it's a whole lot of still framesof them fighting trees and or
goons well and like a millimeterplot moving like they're still
in the forest. Yes and they're going to they're

(43:15):
going to be there for a for a minute too.
So I, yeah, hopefully next week we'll see some more forward
progress. I would like, I've already
harped on the cooking scene enough, but I, I would like to
see them be able to figure out some way to stall big mom again
so that we can have her lumber through the forest some more and

(43:36):
maybe, maybe the ocean. Really, really embrace the
Godzilla vibes. I I think the other half I'll.
Hate it, but at the same time. I'll laugh at it.
Yeah, there'll be some explanation for it, dude.
She'll, she'll coat herself in some see through homie.
And yeah, yeah, some she'll havea she'll get a mochi dive suit

(44:00):
or something like that and they'll just be fine, even
though the mochi also should be affected by the the water.
Who? Just who the fuck knows?
I I just just for? I really wish Justin was here so
that, excuse me, we could so that we could yell at him next
week about this, just be like, how the fuck is this going to

(44:22):
happen? Because there's like no
inclination that she's going to get on a pirate ship.
Well, the the possibility is kind of there because we've
already been warned that the those, those tart ships are
going to be patrolling the area Slash coming to the Chateau
Island or what whatever this specific island is called.

(44:44):
Oh, right, Yeah, like the cake. Yeah, the little, the little
fruit cupcake are they're, they're all molded after
different types of desserts and sweets and so on.
So they're the different tarts and they're they're, they're
going to be making an appearance.
I'm sure whether or not one of them picks up Big Mom, I don't
who knows. My assumption is if if we were

(45:05):
following a a a logical path forBig Mom, then Zeus would
eventually come back to her and she could just fly on Zeus.
But somehow it feels as though Zeus is going to end up down for
the count and unusable because otherwise they would never lose
Big Mom. Zeus very clearly out outruns
outpaces just about anything except I guess a CUDA burst, but

(45:29):
I don't know if we have any moreof those.
I feel like we're all out. Yeah, and, and Frankie's not
even there. So like, I don't even know if
they know how. Frankie's out there and Usopp,
who is probably the only other person who does know.
So yeah, I, I, I will, I will post one more gripe here in that
we're doing the I guess because she's Godzilla.

(45:49):
We're doing this slow hulking terror thing where she, by all
accounts, should be catching up to them anytime they have to
stop for something because she'smassive and also still moves
pretty quickly. But every time they have to stop
for some reason, they get stopped by homies or a bunch of
random no name Big Mom pirates show up out of nowhere.

(46:11):
And we got to fight them off fora little while.
And there's a whole, there's a whole shot of all of them being
right in front of them and then Big Mom being 100, only like 100
feet behind them. Not even it's not.
And they 10. Feet, she's like right on their
asses and they're just like standing there like finger up
their ass the entire time like talking like.

(46:32):
Well, that's not even expositiondumping.
They have to fight those, that group of others that cut that
jump out of the bushes and in the seducing forest and they
fight them and Big Mom is no closer to them.
She's still just back there yelling wedding cake, wedding
cake. Give me a fucking wedding cake.
And I just am I that mad about it?
No, it's just, it's. Notable, I think that's like a

(46:54):
major component of why I'm just so done with this arc is because
it just feels like like watchinga very shitty horror film.
Yeah. Where it's like they're they're
it's like watching Jason like just teleport around the map,
you know and it's just like, is he gonna get him?
Is he gonna get him? No, he's not.

(47:16):
They're sitting there talking for 5 minutes.
Is he gonna get him? Yeah.
So yeah, on the whole the episodes, but they have a
couple, they have a couple of kind of the cool moments I enjoy
seeing. I, I, I will say on the on the
flip side of all of this, this negativity, getting to see Soul

(47:36):
King Brooke, you Soul King poweragain was fucking.
Sick. Oh that was sick.
That no name night though. RIP they put so much effort and
like personality into that no faced no named knight.
You know what? You know what?
He reminded me of Roberto. Oh, from, from Sekiro.

(48:00):
There's a random knight in Sekiro.
He just exists, does not belong there at all.
On the bridge. The one that's on the bridge,
Yeah, he kicked my ass so many times.
I know we hate to see it. No, yeah, I he reminded me.
He he just just him not looking like he belonged there at all.
I was I was thinking to myself, oh, it's him.

(48:22):
He made it into anime, Roberto. If they if they had actually
kicked him off the ship too, that would have been even
better. But alas, they just kicked his
ass instead. Or I should say Chopper did.
But yeah, getting to see SulkingBrooke do Sulking Power again
was great. Well, they threw him.
They threw him in the water, didthey?
Throw him in the water. I just remember.

(48:43):
Oh I just remember Chopper kicking the fuck out of him with
Kung Fu .0. Perfect.
Then it really is just Roberto. Wait, is that that's how you
beat that guy? You kick him off the bridge
there? I think there there might
literally be no other way to beat him.
I don't remember if he takes health damage or not.
If he does, he takes so little. He he does, Yeah.
Yeah. It's like super little.

(49:04):
I didn't know there was a way. To yeah, you want to, you want
to break his posture and then and then kick him off the bridge
because the, the, the walls of the bridge are breakable like
certain parts of it, I think. Are specifically breakable.
It's been a hot minute since I played Sakuru and I'd never
beaten it, so maybe I should go and replay it just to fight him.
Beat him and then just lose perpetually to the next boss.

(49:25):
And then just continually died like in Ichiro because you
didn't learn how to do lightningcounter.
Yeah, it's lightning. You jump and you swing your
sword, obviously. That doesn't.
Yeah, it does. You use your sword as a
lightning rod and you redirect an Avatar style fire Bender
mode. You're no better than fucking

(49:47):
way better than. Oh, how dare you.
The logical thing is to jump. Over No, you don't jump over.
You jump it so you're not grounded and then it doesn't go
through the ground. See, that's where they fucked up
an avatar is that they were still attached to the ground.
You got to, you got to, you got to let it let it flow into you
and then and then channel it back to your sword so that you

(50:09):
can swing and then and then and then you can look cool because
you have lightning coursing through you and it totally
doesn't boil your blood on impact.
I kind of miss Peckham. I want to see Peckham's do
things again. Yeah, that's pretty good.
I could be Peckham's. All right, well.

(50:31):
Although I don't recommend, I don't recommend well.
I don't literally want to be Peckham's I'm, I'm talking, I'm
talking Peckham's reenactment. If they need a backup, backup
voice actor, then I think I could do the gout part pretty
good. The rest of it is kind of up in
the air, but. But it's dubs, so they're going
to like, do something. Completely surely, surely the

(50:51):
dub keeps the GAO intact. Well.
I highly doubt it. If only Brendan was here to
confirm. Speaking of which, for the
audience that were wondering where our where our lovable
bread boy has been, he'll be back in eventually.
I definitely didn't eat him. I'm sure he's out there
somewhere. Yeah, he just had to make a make

(51:12):
a quick guess gas trip for milk and ciggies.
Everyone's got to go for milk and ciggies at some point.
Well, with that being said, I guess it's time to move on from
the from the episode summary unless you have anything else
last minute to add on top. No, all right, fair enough.
I I, I too am out of points to really to really harp on here.

(51:33):
We've got the episodes are fine,could have been better.
Hoping for that cooking stuff next week.
And Speaking of next week, we'regoing to be watching episodes
848 to 850. Devin, you got any quotes this
week, buddy? Quite literally just that same
line from Brooke in the submarine where he gets excited
about the sexy mermaids but theyfinds out that they're Mer man's

(51:58):
or whatever they are and he's like don't care.
And choppers like, no, seriously, look, he's like, I do
not care. Nope, not interested.
Nope. I don't care if we're about to
crash our boat into a giant sea lion or whatever they are.
Nope. Yeah, we really did just kind of
gloss past that giant tiger fish, too.
Yeah. It just, it happened and then it

(52:18):
it didn't. Well with that being said I have
two quotes this week. Managed to to scrounge out some
of from these episodes. Both come in 847 and pretty
close. Bad bad bad.
Pretty close to each other as well.
So I mentioned Soul King. He comes back and we get that
cool ass shot again of the giantsoul energy version of himself,

(52:40):
the soul King. And then our boy, our Bony boy
yells, this is the real scream of my soul.
And and then we proceed to play another sick guitar riff and and
I'm super there for it on his short guitar.
The other a little bit more serious coming from Chiffon when

(53:00):
we're talking to Begi still and Begi is worried that Chiffon is
going to be in danger if she goes with pudding to make this
cake. And Chiffon has some choice
words. Specifically, she says, thank
you for saving Lola. It's so easy to just say the
words. Whether you really mean it or
not will be proven when the person you're indebted to is in

(53:21):
trouble. And I like I, I, I like the
sentiment. Yeah.
I thought it was also a nice scene too between Beggie's wife
and then the the the family justbeing there and all and all
being worried because we've already talked about how Beggie
is his back story is violent mobboss guy that just ruins
organizations from the inside out for Fonzies.

(53:44):
And then we get this version of him who's who's he's very baby,
loves his wife and kid total softy when it comes to them too.
And his family, for that matter,the the mafia family.
Imagine him betraying I. Could never at this point, I
could never see Peggy doing that.
I It'll be the worst show of alltime.

(54:05):
It couldn't happen. My mind can't conceive of it.
So I like the sentiment that that that Chiffon puts forward
here of just actions are louder than words sometimes.
And she's being given a chance to repay Nami for saving her
sister. And I quite like it.
I agree. So now we move on to the Golden

(54:26):
Ham. Hey, bit of another rough week,
right? Who who who the fuck did
anything like I don't want to give it to the tree.
No, because he just got bodied. He got he could just take a
bunch of LS like that's I feel like that.

(54:48):
I feel like giving it to him would just be like a pity.
Go up with ham, you know what I mean?
And when he comes back grooted later, he'll we'll probably give
it to him then for being adorable.
Exactly like I, I don't know, I'm just going to say Brooke
because. Riff, you know, I am, I am, I am
usually down for for a brook pick.
However, I will just I will put forth an option that I don't.

(55:12):
I don't think I would have felt myself saying ever at the
beginning of this arc, especially learning about her
character for the first time. But I can we hear the pudding.
I'm kind of down for the, for, for the vibe now.
I, I, I, I obviously don't like the Sanji loving half of it, but

(55:34):
the, the, the, the sooner aspects where we're having this
back and forth of her, of her personality.
I'm, it amused me and I hope it continues to amuse me.
This, this golden ham is a little bit I, I, I feel as
though this golden ham, more than maybe any other one, is
like an investment in the futurefor her character.

(55:55):
See, I don't I don't I don't want to give it to for
investments, though. I want to see the final product
like you deserve the golden ham because like if this is just
like a one minute bit and like she just becomes sweet
sweetheart later, then this is awasted golden ham and we're.
Going to have yourself, you're right, like.
Next week it's good. There's going to be people

(56:17):
fighting for this ham, I know that.
But I don't. I don't want to give a golden.
Ham on dreams, I mean, Yeah, Right.
Not wrong. All right, I I guess.
I guess we can just give it to Brooke again.
I'm fine. I'm fine with giving it to
Brooke for another Soul King reappearance.
And yeah, all right, that soundslike it's settled because he

(56:37):
actually. Does he does he does a little
bit of stuff. Nobody really does a tremendous
amount of stuff in these episodes, kind of like last
week. So and there was also I, I guess
he was also kind of the funnier 1-2 in these episodes as well.
So he kind of, he kind of gets it on both fronts, entertainment
and usefulness because Chopper could be right there too.

(56:58):
But I just, I don't know, Chopper just bores me now.
He he's just the chippy, adorable character that you feed
candy, which you should not feedwildlife sugar.
Yeah, but don't worry, don't worry.
She doesn't slip on ice because he's a reindeer.
I hated that. I hated that.
That was so dumb. I've seen so many deer slip on

(57:18):
ice. This is so who's very useless on
ice. I don't care if he's a snow
animal, but he still slips on ice.
That is the worst excuse ever. Yeah, I, I knew it was coming

(57:38):
from a mile away and it's still,it's still frustrated me.
I just couldn't. I couldn't, I couldn't be
bothered. It frustrated me, but it didn't
because it was just so obvious that this was the route they
were going to go for it that I just.
I just sighed and continued watching the episode and
enjoying Roberto Knight. This.

(57:58):
Doesn't make any sense, but thisis one piece.
Fuck it, who cares? I don't know, there's other
thing. There's better things to get mad
about. This is the salt.
Water. Yeah, I know.
I hate that That's a recurring thing that we can just always
call back to is the stupid salt water debate from the beginning
of the show. All right, Golden Am out of the

(58:19):
way. We've got fan mail and I, I have
a fan mail on deck. It's a short one, but.
We'll turn it on because. It's not that kind of fan.
Not a not a fan that was mailed.It's fan mail as in emails from
the people who listen to this show.
Devin. Yeah, Yeah.
Yeah, I don't. Yes.

(58:40):
This is exciting, especially because this is a follow up
e-mail of sorts to a pretty recent e-mail that we read on
the show. This one, this one says hello.
It wasn't a mistake. Real name is Nathan, but Natasha
Hot Lips is my undercover agent alias.

(59:04):
Don't tell anybody or I'll get Hack POA on you.
And Hack Poa is in all caps and they put in parentheses.
Ham and cheese. Purest of America.
Don't worry, Natasha Hot. Lips Yeah, your secret's safe
with us and the the people who listen to this show also.

(59:26):
I love it. Thank you.
Thank you, Natasha. Hot Lips, for for emailing us
back. This is great.
Please feel free to continue to e-mail us with whatever, with
whatever you want. I will if, if Justin sees, I
will, I will make sure Justin isalert anytime he sees a sign off

(59:50):
from Natasha Hot lips to to sendit on over.
So that that that was great. When I saw that e-mail, I or
when Justin sent that e-mail, I knew, I knew.
I knew it was going to be a goodday.
Speaking of good days, it's always a good day when I know

(01:00:14):
that I've got producers on our back from our Discord paid Tier
Taco and King Solomander, our producers of the month.
TKS yes. Sir, yes, Sir, TKS indeed.
And thank you also to anyone else that supports us right now.
We love you lots. And so now with the shout outs

(01:00:39):
out of the way, we have the illustrious garb gab segment.
Take care of Devin. I I, I, I believe last week you,
I, I had a yeah, you you dove into the bag, pulled something
out for us. Do you do you think you want to
do that again? All right, let let me shut

(01:01:02):
Christian. I'm looking at the bag right now
and all I see is whipped cream. Well, yeah, I, I look, there was
a lot from the from the cake that fell.
Do you remember last week where the whole office was engulfed in
cake because of Justin? And now he's not here because he
didn't want to clean it up again?
Probably. And.
But it's what am I even scoopingout?
It's just what I could see with my eyes, right?

(01:01:22):
There No. If you dig a little farther,
you'll find the stuff that you actually need to pull outlook
under look right underneath thatyou can see they used a bunch of
different cream. There's ready with, but there's
also. God, this is a.
Sensor don't worry for me, you can lick your fingers after it's
still edible. I don't.
I don't want to. Actually, yeah, actually, yeah,

(01:01:43):
never mind. That's been sitting in there for
like a week. It's probably kind of rancid.
Actually is. That a fucking poker ball.
That is one of the items I put in there.
Yeah. Is that where you pulled out?
Oh, it's OK. Sweeping right now.
Well, that one's pretty. That one's pretty.
Open it up. Does this mean I?
I think we know what it means. It's pretty.
It's pretty obvious as far as just.

(01:02:04):
As well, on the inside do. You not understand what the
connection is to one of the garbgabs we do all the time.
You even made this one. Oh, it's yeah.
There you go, buddy. And it's it's.
I tried to make it, I mean, all right, I guess.
I guess I'll be going first herewith with pics.

(01:02:24):
Well, I think that some of the so so so Sabo's a little hard
ish to to pin down. I think the two main things we
can we can center ourselves on for Sabo here is his hand to
hand combatant. He does use a pipe as a weapon.
He's also got this fire aspect to him now.
And I should also back up and say that his fighting style is

(01:02:48):
referred to as the dragon claw something or other.
So I'm thinking here fighting types and dragon types mainly
with an added bonus of if they've got something that
relates to fire, then we can we can work with that.
Now I will say mostly based off of a fighting type and B color

(01:03:10):
scheme, Lucario came to mind. First of all, for Sabo, who is
does it, I don't think he fits the bill perfectly, but he does
have moves where he can concentrate energy in his fists
and stuff and make like energy balls.
And that's like kind of fire, you know?
And fire is just fire is just sure pressed energy.

(01:03:33):
And so it's Hey daddy dude. Shut up.
Come on. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Moving on to a a different pic of of a different style.
I I think before I let you go, you you take a turn at this.

(01:03:56):
The the other one I'll mention right now is is Garchom.
I think he's got the, he's got the dragon part of that down and
the color scheme is kind of there.
Sabo also does like to use his dragon claw move to destroy the
Earth a lot. And Garchomp is part ground type

(01:04:18):
is all I'm saying. So is he as good in a fistfight?
Garchomp not necessarily the thesingle claw on each hand and
then the big wings don't exactlydo you good for fisticuffs, but
I think it kind of fits in. And, you know, if I think the
other important thing to remember is that Sabos got a
little bit of that crazy in him,and Garchomp looks like he's got

(01:04:39):
a bit of that crazy in him too, you know, so.
I see it. So I took the assignment and one
as you tend to with it and I, I,I, it's not about like what they
physically look like, it's what they represent.
Sending a message. OK, yeah, so I picked mimic you
what because. I I know mimic you but why is it

(01:05:01):
the crazy? Because he's crazy, but it's not
Pikachu. So you say Sabo is not ace?
It's trying. It's.
Son of a bitch. But it's just not.
And it's adorable and I love it,but it's, it's not, we all could
tell it's not ace. So it's like, you know, it's

(01:05:30):
just, it's its own thing, but it's, it's a little fucked up.
OK. That that's where my brain
immediately burns Sabo. And this was like, quite
literally the first thing that came to my mind when I thought
it was just like, it's ace but not.
Yeah, he is kind of ace at home right now, but with a pipe.

(01:05:52):
I can see mimicu. My hands, at least I don't think
so. I'm pretty.
Sure, no shit about Mimicu, I just know what he looks like.
I don't think yeah, I don't. I know the version of Mimicu
when it's got the Pikachu rag onit doesn't have arms, but who
knows, maybe it's got arms underneath.
There's a black shadowy mask with two glowing eyes, but
glimpsing it causes immediate catatonic shock if not.

(01:06:19):
Man, some Pokémon are just. Does it have hands?
Granted, this is Google AI. Let's look at the wiki.
Disguise Pokémon. I don't know if you could
disguise as other Pokémon other than Pikachu.
Do you got any other ideas for who Sabo could be though?
What's that one Pokémon that carries a leaf?
Around with them, yeah. I was also thinking far fetched

(01:06:41):
for that reason. Or Cubo.
Yeah. Or really, Marowak is not what
you're really going for, Yeah. Just just fucking clubbing.
Yeah. Ting lead pipe JPEG please?
Exactly. Is there a lead?

(01:07:03):
No, there is no there is no Pokémon that carries around a
pipe. Googling it Lead pipe Pokémon.
The closest you get is either a far fetched or AQ bone.
No, the first thing that came upwas a was a bong for, what's his

(01:07:23):
name, Pokémon Coughing coughing.Jeez at the bottom.
God that would be amazing. There is a small Pokémon that
use a giant fuck off hammer it'scalled.
What's called? What's called?
What's called? Tinka Tink.

(01:07:45):
Oh, it has pre evolutions. Wait, this might be exactly what
we what you're looking for. Does this thing actually use a a
lead pipe at a tank tank? Oh my God.
It it basically does. Yeah.
Tinka tank. The the first evolution of it
basically uses like a little metal thing and then Tinka Tinka

(01:08:06):
yeah, it's like a rattle. And then Tinka tough uses a
larger hammer and then Tinka Tonuses a giant fuck off hammer.
Yeah, this is this is Sabo energy, especially the middle
form Tinka Tough. I think that's the best one for
this because the other two are kind of too hot.
Well, the the first one's too sad.

(01:08:27):
The second, the second one is got the chaos and the third
one's just happy for some reason, I guess the big bonk.
Yeah, I guess the big bonk. It's been playing Monster
Hunter, of course, Hammerman, nothing less.
All right, well, I think we've Ithink we've sorted out Sabo then
for the most part. We got a couple weapon ones.
We got some dragon, we got some fisty cuffs in there.

(01:08:47):
We got mimic you. Mimic you.
Yeah, we got, we got Sabo just being Ace at home.
That's fine. Sabo's more interesting than Ace
anyway. I got hate for that one,
probably, but you know what? I stand by it.
What? No, honestly, he is.
Is he that much more interesting?
No, but he he is more interesting being part of the

(01:09:08):
revolutionary army. But with that being said, you
know what else is interesting? Following us on social media.
You can do that at Panda Sighting on Twitter and
Instagram. We've been doing a Dylan Dylan's
been putting together some some reels for for Instagram and I

(01:09:28):
believe also I think we have a TikTok as well.
I I want to say it's that's all real panda sighting because
there's a lot of some of them are really good.
Some of them are really good. I think our TikTok is also at
panda sightings. Don't at me.
I'll figure it out for next weekand all right, we'll get a live
edit. And me.

(01:10:59):
some of them are looking, reallysome of them are looking so
good. I'm so excited for some of this
to come out and there will be more on that in the coming
weeks. I know we said we wanted to have
it by the beginning of April, but there were setbacks and
things take a lot longer to set up shops, online stores then and
we knew of and so we're working on it.

(01:11:20):
Please be patient with us. It's going to be great and.
So to answer the question beforeit is a panda sightings on
TikTok and I I I do want to point this out just because I am
looking at it right this moment and it is hilarious in my head.
We have exactly how many likes do you think we have on there?
The account is 6. 166. 1000. 100we're #1.

(01:11:45):
Right, we're #1. We've got so many lines these.
Followers so far, but but that'smore than I was.
Expecting is is that number justthe total amount of likes all of
the videos have gotten or or is likes just the you said
followers already? Your followers is the 17 and
1111. We're making it, we're doing it.

(01:12:09):
Go some of it. Go visit the Tik Toks, go visit
the Instagram for for reels and videos.
Dylan's been doing a great job with that.
And rate US five stars. Wherever you listen to podcasts
and tell your friends, we tell, tell your friends about us.
There's there's plenty of one piece stands out there.
We've got plenty of we had a huge backlog of episodes for

(01:12:29):
them to listen and catch up on and that's about it.
Did Justin ever wake? Up yeah, I, I don't know he like
I said he's probably just got caught at a deli somewhere or I
don't know, buying buying food He he tends to do that sometimes
just gets. You know, caught in the moment
of all the maybe got like stuck in like a three.
And one I mean, I can't entirelyblame him when there's good food

(01:12:51):
around. I too want to stop and and
observe and and consume so. What I'm saying is like, what if
he's like in like a trifecta where it's like he's walking in
a circle but he can't escape? And he just forgets that he
visited the 1-2. So he goes, he hits the first
one, then he hits the second one, then he hits the third one
and he's going to walk out, but he goes to the first one again

(01:13:11):
and forgets that he already went.
I see. Exactly.
Well, I hope he, I hope he is able to escape the loop some
point soon so that he can be on the next episode because
honestly, I don't want to go save him.
That's a lot of work. Although if there's good food
there. I don't want to figure out where
that. I don't know to do.
It. I'm pretty food motivated every

(01:13:31):
person you. Know what?
I'll be right back. Sit.
No, no. I'm.
Going to realize all this cake is maybe peckish for something,
for a little sweet treat. Just come along, join one of us,
man. We'll make it.
You know what? Just here, I'll tell you what.
Bring that. Bring the mic set up.

(01:13:52):
I'll bring mine in case we get stuck in the loop without
realizing it. And we'll just do one on site.
How are we going to watch? It you know what, they have
Wi-Fi, right? We've got TV's in there.
It's like a little food court probably if I know Justin.
All right, we'll catch you guys.We'll catch you guys next week
when we do one live and in person.
I mean, we always do that. But this is this will be not in
studio. We'll, we'll have it'll be super

(01:14:14):
professional and you'll you'll know with real background noise
that everyone loves always in their podcasts.
