OP | Eps 909-912: Time Travel?!

Kaido descends upon Wano in his dragon form tearing through Okobore Town and annihilating Oden Castle in a single breath. Believing his friends dead, Luffy charges in angy, landing brutal blows that barely faze the monstrous Kaido. Luffy is defeated and imprisoned in Udon.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Lizard, lizard, Lizard, Lizard lizard, Lizard lizard.
Really. Yeah.
Lizard. This is what we're doing.
Lizard. Yeah, Lizard.
Why? Lizard.
OK, but. Lizard, your lizard.
The it's. Lizard, Liz Lizard.
Will you stop it now? It's driving me crazy.
Lizard, it needs to be. Do that.

(00:22):
No, no, no. I'm keeping this until after the
podcast at least, All right? And then maybe more depending on
how I feel. This is bullshit.
This is driving me fucking nuts.Why are you?

(00:42):
What what what Why are you even doing this?
Like what? What is the point?
Did you not see it? See.
What the lizard are? You talking about what we
watched? Yeah, I mean, yeah, of course I
saw it. These giant fuck off lizard.
Yeah, that. But like you don't need to sit
here and just spam the button the whole time.
We a couple of times is cool. It's a lizard.

(01:03):
Wait, wait, wait. You're telling me as our local
dinosaur tism specialist, you don't vibe with this?
Of course I vibe with it. What I don't vibe with is an
hour and a half of the same sound effect being played in my
fucking ear. I'm trying to grind ranked

(01:24):
Marvel Rivals over here and all I keep here is.
Lit, lit, lit, lit, lit, lit lizard.
Lit Lit Lizard lizard. I know I'm done.
I'm done. I wasn't pressing it that fast.
I can't focus on my moon night gameplay when you're acting like
this. You just hate it because it's
great. Enough of that.
Now that I've gotten that out ofmy system and I've gotten the

(01:44):
button away from your clutches, we can we can start the show.
K You're going to read the summary or am I going to read
it? I mean, do you want to read a
summary? No, I can't really read that
well. All right, it's about what I
figured. Even though I'm the one that
wrote this. Yeah, little a little Devon
summer reaction. Let's, let's see how this goes,
everybody. It's going to be a trip for all

(02:05):
of us. Pick it up where we left off
last week. The crew meet up at the ruins to
find out that Kenny, Moen and the gang are time travelling
goons from the past. After learning their redefined
lore, the gang learns the new strategy of how to retake guano.

(02:26):
The plan is, you know we got to leak our album cover and the
fans will get it. Meanwhile, Chief of Thieves
shows up and lo and behold, it'stime to rob people.
But not other than Jack shows up, which then sparks the local
alcoholic to arrive in his scalyform, demanding his ex-wife to
see the kids. Kaido the motherfucking.

(02:46):
Dragon, remember Claire, bases are important, so break out the
Lube so that next week our butt holes are ready.
All right, well, you know, this was doing pretty good until the
very end. God damn it.
Hey, I just want people to be safe.
I mean, that's that's fair, but we're not that kind of podcast.

(03:08):
If we end up going into sex advice, then we're going to have
to rework some things. Well, with the drops that this
show's doing, I, I just felt like, you know, it, it was
necessary as a surprise. All right.
Well, that was great. Honestly, I expected slightly
worse. It was succinct.
It hit all the points and I didn't feel too much like a

(03:29):
degenerate reading it, at least until the end.
So you know what I say. Job well done Devin, well done.
Yay. I put two brain cells together
and rubbed them. Yeah, see you again in another
two years when you write your next one.
This is the way. This is the way.
So what are you feeling this week?

(03:51):
How do you fare after this set of episodes?
I struggled, I'm not going to lie.
I struggled with these episodes,really.
They just didn't grip me around the throat hard enough, you
know? Like I also just don't love time
travel in any medium. OK.
So like, that was a huge part ofit.
Plus the obvious fake outs that they were doing, you know, from

(04:14):
last week to this week. It was just like really, really
we're going to milk this bit. This bit's not even that funny
feelings like that. That's how I felt.
Wait, what were you thinking? Wasn't funny, exactly.
A little bit where they're like pretty much like acting like Oh
my God, Keenamon and them are been dead the whole time.
Oh, that OK. And I was just like, this is
dumb. They're going to give us some

(04:35):
other explanation and they did. It's time travel with the time.
Time for hate it. I mean that we obviously knew
that they weren't truly dead. We had see we we already met and
seen them, right? I didn't expect a time travel
thing. What I expected with the graves
to just be a cover up from whatever happened right And

(04:57):
instead. We went with the lazier route,
which is just time travel. I don't think time travel is the
lazier route. I think the lazier expected
route is what I just said. Time travel is.
It's, it's not super inspiring. It's been done before.
I think I'm just surprised to see it in one.
Piece, right? That's what I mean.
Like to me, I'm just like, I can't be shocked because it's

(05:18):
one piece, but I also don't likeit because it's one piece.
I don't, I don't know how to explain it.
It's just one of those things where I just, I go, I look at it
and I go, I hate you. Why you do this to me?
I wish you had more words. Right, like my vocabulary is
stunted because of this. Like I'm still processing it,
you know, the information and it's brewing in my gut.

(05:40):
But it's like being lactose intolerant, you know, it's not
sitting well, right? Like it's not immediately bad.
Like don't get me wrong, the cheese was great, you know,
going down my mouth hole. But once it's in my stomach,
it's starting to boil and fester.
And here I am just going. I don't like that.
OK, I guess time travel in, cinema in me.
It's my Lac toast intolerance. Like I don't overtly hate it, I

(06:02):
don't go out of my way to eat it.
I'll still eat it when it's there, but I don't enjoy it
afterwards. Yeah, there's a fine line that
needs to be walked in basically every case of time travel story.
I will say that two things mainly prevent me or make me not

(06:24):
immediately have the ick about this.
The first is that I don't think this this isn't really going to
be the centerpiece of what's going on, It's just a thing that
ODA decided to have be the case in order to spice things up.
I suppose that obviously I can'tsay with 100% confidence because

(06:44):
this is the first set of episodes we've gotten with it
and who knows what other wibbly wobbly timey whiny things might
happen with. I feel like she was given a name
but I can't remember what it was.
But Odin's wife, who was the owner of the time time for.
It started with an O or something I want to say.
Well, they all start with an O It's a matter of what comes
after that. That's the hard.
Part with this arc I'm realizingis that a lot of their names are

(07:06):
similar but not. Well, again, I, I need to be on
the same episode as Brendan so Ican get the clarification for
this once again about what the Oin front of women's name means
because I have completely forgotten.
It's some sort of honorific of some kind, I think.
Or maybe it was like O is just the way you say miss or misses

(07:27):
in in the culture at the time. I don't remember, but yeah.
So a lot of the women's names begins with an O and then it's
really just about what comes after it.
That's why when Luffy refers to Tama or Kiku, which they only
hear him say Tama, you don't hear him say the O Tama part.
So right, right. I've tried to adopt that also
just because it's way easier to try and remember it without the

(07:49):
OS because everyone has one. But the second thing that I
think makes me more tolerant of there just being time travel now
is the fact that the time time fruit only allows you to go
forward in time. You don't get to go backward.
And I think that solves a lot ofthe general issues that people

(08:14):
have with time travel being a facet of a story.
Because the immediate inclination is, well, we're just
going to go back in time and fixthe mistakes that led us to this
terrible situation. But now that we have this fruit
and you can only go forward, then there's no opportunity like
that where you try and fix mistakes and you just infinitely

(08:36):
repeat the same set of circumstances, try and find the
optimal outcome. Right.
I don't know. I can't really comment on it
because I don't know if this is going to come up again.
I hope it doesn't. I bet it will.
It probably will, though, because now it's a factor.
It just feels dirty, you know? Yeah.
I mean I we're going to end up seeing more of this if not

(08:59):
Odin's wife also because we havethe there's several facets of
this that we haven't really explored yet.
One, there's allegedly supposed to be 9 people that are part of
this prophecy from Odin's wife. This so-called Akaziya 9, but we
only have five of them and and it seems to be implied that the

(09:24):
nine are people that were sent forward in time by her.
We only have 5 so far, the one I'm most worried about.
And I don't necessarily know if they are part of the 9 or not.
They just don't ever address where Momonosuke's sister goes.
Yeah, that's kind of dark. Did she die?
I don't know. I want to know.

(09:45):
I don't think so. I.
Don't think she did. Maybe she got like blooped like
further too. Far in time, right?
Or not far enough in time. I don't know.
I don't either. But I think it's very strange
that a, Kane moan doesn't mention it and B, nobody else in
the room listening picks up on the fact that she's never

(10:06):
mentioned outside of the fact that she was there with the
mother. Yeah, maybe she wasn't blooped
through time at all. Maybe she stayed with Mom.
Maybe mom and her died. I mean, Mom is definitely dead.
Excuse me? The hiccup hit me right in the
middle of that laugh. Oh, that felt weird.
Oh God my chest hurts. That was.
Good. My chest hurts.

(10:26):
Like right in the middle of my chest between my breasts, just
like oh God. Oh, that hit hard.
It's OK, You survived. OK, you survived.
Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm. Yeah.
I just thought, well, it was like the hit TV show.
I shouldn't be alive. They're going to tell my story.

(10:48):
So there I was in the productionstudio listening.
You're talking about nonsense, about time travel.
And then it hit. And I was losing my mind and
just in the middle of a funny joke, it hit.
It came for me. Ruining the laughter the crowd
silenced in awe. The the aforementioned crowd.

(11:10):
Just you. Oh my God, I've lost all
momentum in this conversation now.
What were, what were we talking about?
His sister. We were talking about time
travel, the sister, the mom. Yeah, being dead.
Maybe, maybe not. Right.

(11:30):
Yeah, like what if the sister also stayed behind and then they
just fucking like the mom? The mom definitely dead.
Hold on now, I just had this thought.
Right, so she sends them in the future if she doesn't send the
sister. That's fucked up.
It is fucked. Up like that's fucked up in the
sense of like you made it a parent.
Which ones your favorite child? Yeah.

(11:53):
Like yes, I could have sent you both in the future, but you're.
Oh no, But I'm all out of time. Juice right, right, like like
that's what I don't like about time travel.
Like and like, OK, so could she not time travel herself out as

(12:15):
well? It's implied that maybe the
daughter did or not. She wasn't really in frame a
lot. No, she got no speaking lines at
all in these episodes. She's mentioned she's shown with
the shaded over face look and that's it.
We get nothing else. We we barely got a good look at
her. I've got half of mind to go look
at her and see what she looks like.

(12:36):
In case we've just we've actually come across her at some
point and right. We just didn't know it yet.
But the mom, that one I kind of the motivation I understand more
her staying behind. I'm willing to bet she could
move herself forward also. But it's one of those things of
like, oh, I found like after allof this time jumping, I finally

(12:57):
found the one who accepts me andloves me.
And I'm going to die with them now because going forward in
time, I'll never find anyone like them again.
So I just want to die here with them.
What if she's that old lady? Wait, no, that wouldn't make
sense. The kunuichi.
No, not that the the old lady that was in the town, but that
wouldn't make sense. Why would she be praying?
Oh, her? Yeah.

(13:20):
Yeah, that wouldn't make sense. Yeah, I don't think that would
check out. See, This is why I don't like
time travel. It makes me have to think about
this shit and I don't like it, but that's good.
That's the fun part, is like trying to guess and work out
what could be the case. No, because it's stupid.
Because how did she survive the fire?
And also how did they not all have like smoke inhalation like
issues? Look, I I don't have all of the

(13:42):
answers. Serious.
In fact, I have none of the answers.
All I have is random guesses andravings of a madman who just
hiccuped and burped at the same time and feels like he's at half
lung capacity. I don't know.
I, I like it. I said before that she's
definitely dead. However, it's one piece.
She could also totally not be dead.

(14:03):
She could totally, totally not be dead.
It was a flashback, but all we saw her was inside of a burning
building and doing relatively OKby the way, the fire on the
outsides around the the perimeter of the building, but
the middle of it where her and her daughter were sitting and
Momo, I think Momo was also. In sitting there initially too,

(14:25):
right? Like it was the three of them.
I don't know, I don't remember. See This is why I'm getting
confused because I don't remember Momo being with the
sister as well. I thought.
I thought they all got dragged in.
What do you mean by dragged in? No.
Wait no, Momo was praying in with them I thought because
Keenamon was carrying the dragonall the way from the OR wasn't.

(14:46):
He no, I think Momo was. I think Momo was with the the
mother and sister. At this point he doesn't even
Momo doesn't even have the dragon fruit yet.
I guess, yeah, that would make more sense.
By the way, I don't know that weever really talked about it.
I'm pretty sure we haven't sincewe surmised that Kaido has the
dragon fruit, which confirmed fucking nailed it.

(15:09):
Hell yeah, fucking called it. Except for the fact that it
wasn't Western. Yes, I'm still kind of pissed
about that, but you know what? It's fine.
It's another eastern looking dragon.
W is still WW is AW. It's not 100%, it's like a 95%
but that's OK 95% is definitely going to get mom and dad off our
backs. But this begs the question.

(15:31):
We have two representations of eastern Dragons in the form
presumably of devil fruits. Now it seems like Kaido has a
true devil fruit up to this point, outside of the fact that
he has had the horns this whole time.
And Momo, as we know, also can turn into a dragon, both eastern

(15:55):
representations of Dragons. So what's going on here?
Does he just have the best version of a dragon smile for?
So here's my hot thought. Go on.
Most zoens, when they're not in Zoen form, they just look like
they normally do, right? They look like people.
Generally speaking, yeah, So. Momo normally no dragon form but

(16:16):
with all the smile fruit people they still have like animal
things on them. Yeah.
I wonder if Kaido has a smile version of Momo's fruit.
Yeah, that's what I would assumetoo.
Other than the fact that Kaido gets a transformation, we
haven't seen any of the Smile users do an actual

(16:38):
transformation. Right.
They just have animal features, which is the part where I'm
like, does he just have a perfected smile?
Where like allows for a transformation but his normal
for like humanoid form is still invaded by animal features.
Or is there some weird loophole?Dragon dragon fruit or a lizard

(17:06):
lizard model, whatever fruit thing going on here, Lizard,
lizard lizard lizard lizard lizard going to die, kill me.
I'm I'm not sure my instinct would say that it he has a
smile, but I don't know. The other thing is how long has
he been in that form, right? Did he get it before the 20 year

(17:29):
time jump? Did he get it after?
I don't know. Well, yeah, we we also don't
know how long Kaido has been producing smiles for either,
right? It's confusing.
Like I can cook up some like, you know, brain rot theories
like oh, what if they put like Momo and Kaido ate half of the
same apple, right? I'm just calling it Apple just

(17:51):
for the sake of no devil fruit. Yes, of course.
But you know, like we don't likewhat happens if you only eat
half a Devil fruit? Do you still get the powers?
What you know, like we don't know this information.
So it's like, and then also the smiles, I'm still not convinced
we know exactly how smiles are made and or how they work as a

(18:13):
full function. Like we just don't.
There's too many holes in the question.
We're literally holding a fucking sifter and all the
information is pouring out and Idon't, I don't know, fact from
fiction. No, that's definitely true.
We we don't have all the information on Smiles at all.
We just have seen a bunch of these animal human hybrids that

(18:35):
are the result of the smiles. So truly I'm, I mean, I'm still
guessing when I say that smile users don't have the ability to
transform like a normal Zowen. It's just been the case so far
that we've seen a bunch of examples of smile users and not
one of them has transformed yet.So I just kind of blanket

(18:56):
statement, none of them can, butit can still be true that they
can. Yeah, could they still have the
potential to have their Sailor Moon transformation sequence?
Yeah, absolutely. So I guess we'll see in time.
Watching Kaido transform, though, that caught me off
guard. I was like, OK, he's having a
melt, you know, when alcoholic, you know, moment, you know.

(19:18):
Sorry, dad, don't get the bell. And then all of a sudden it's
like, whoa, dad, stop turning into a dragon.
Oh God, Dad, you're going into the sky.
Oh God, things are happening. Oh, you're bringing about a
thunderstorm. What's going on?
Oh, no, not the Thunderbelt. The Thunderbelt, Yeah, He grabs
the belt from the sky. He grabs a.
Yeah, Oh, man. Yeah.

(19:39):
Give me a little bit of chills. You know, with the with this
transformation, I'm just watching this guy go fucking
nuts. He's just angry.
Little fucker, I am surprised bythe color difference from his
tattoo to his dragon form and how the tip dragon form still
has the tattoo. I'm kind of bummed that he's
blue and not orange, but I understand why he is blue.

(20:01):
Go on, why is he blue? Just shut up, that's why.
What do you mean? You just said you understand why
he's blue. That's the reason.
Shut up. Gosh, that's why.
That's not a reason, it just is.You made it sound like you had
some grander insight. Isn't blue and orange supposed
to be complimentary colors anyways, color theory wise?
I don't know. They're not opposites on the

(20:23):
wheel. Exactly.
Unless they are and I'm just a big dumb idiot.
I don't know. But also to feel another big
dumb idiot moment. So as I was watching my episodes
earlier, Juan was with us or with me.
And as I'm watching this reveal,I'm like, oh, I fucking knew it.
I fucking like, I'm sitting herelike screaming from the
bleachers, you know, like, oh, Ifucking knew it.

(20:43):
He was a dragon all along. And Juan goes, what?
You don't mean the guy whose name Kaido, which literally
means dragon in Japanese, is a dragon.
And I went, what? Oh, So apparently, or at least
to that source, apparently Kaidojust means dragon.
Well. Yeah, surely not.

(21:05):
Surely not. We don't have any fact checkers
to prove this and I'm too afraidto Google, but yeah, that that's
what I was, what I was told, andso I went.
Well, now my I don't feel as good about my guess, but the
same time, fuck you. Fuck you.
I was right. There straight up no way that

(21:25):
his name just flat out means Dragon.
You know, I'm going to Google it.
Also, you're totally right, orange is definitely the
complimentary to blue. Can mean ocean route or way of
the? Juan, you're a liar.
Well this is also AI answering. Strong kid.
Joy Boy I what? Is I'm I also may be spelling

(21:46):
his name wrong. At this point I would maybe
caution not looking up anything else.
Yep Yep, not looking any further.
I've looked at the forsaken textand I don't understand it so I'm
closing it off. And none of it made any sense.
And that's worrisome because it could mean something for the
future. And This is why we don't look at

(22:07):
the forbidden text. Yes, This is why I looked up the
color wheel and not the meaning of Kaido's name.
Yeah, to give you that orange compliment, though, he did have
fire coming off of him somewhere.
I don't know where or what part of his body it was or why, but
he had like a little Ring of Fire around his midsection or
something. So there's that.

(22:27):
You get a little bit of that orange flare.
Right fucking baller though. Oh definitely reminded me of
Dragon Ball Z though. Well, yeah, you know.
I feel like those type of Dragons and you know, whether
they just go hand in hand, yeah.Quasa from Pokémon.
But now that we know that fucking time travel exists, you
know for damn sure there's probably one of the Dragons can

(22:49):
make a wish come true or something and there's going to
be something stupid. What makes you say?
That Dragon Ball? Oh, you're just saying that
because time travel exists. Why not wish magic?
Also? Yeah, I see.
Watch Should there be a crossover where Shenron and
Kaido have to fight each other? Oh my God, and.

(23:09):
They're just snaking around eachother while biting and beating
the yeah. Let them fight Kaiju battle,
yes. They'll be doing like the dragon
Dance from Avatar the Last Airbender.
Two Dragons just intertwining through the sky.
If Momo does that. Yeah.
But he's a little bad Boo dragon, he little baby.

(23:30):
Well, you know, there's always time.
He'll grow up in a couple of years, be big old dragon.
Maybe. I don't.
I don't know, if they do anothertime skip I'm going to riot, but
then again they could also just like I don't know, time travel
them. Well, now we don't have access
to the time. Time for for now anyway.

(23:51):
Allegedly. For now, I'm saying for now,
allegedly, yes, that is what I'mimplying.
I don't like time travel. I don't like.
It I couldn't tell. I was really unsure what your
stance was up to this point. It's lazy.
No bad. I feel like it's kind of the
opposite, like you're setting yourself up for a more

(24:12):
complicated story by including time travel because now you have
to balance this extra bullshit. But that's what I mean, it's
just extra bullshit. Right, that doesn't make it
lazy. That makes like you have to now
do more work to make your story make sense.
It's dumb. Is it overused?
Yes, absolutely. That's the part that I hate
about it. It's overused.
I'm done with it. Get out of here.

(24:33):
I don't know, I'm I'm OK for now.
I'll wait and see how it goes. I'm intrigued.
I I hope she's dead. So basically is what it comes
down to. I hope she's dead and I hope
nobody's found the time time fruit in the last 20 years.
If I was a betting man, I would say that my first statement is
true that she's dead. However, I would be willing to

(24:56):
bet that somebody maybe in this arc probably has discovered the
Time Time fruit and they're justhiding it for now.
What would happen if Foxy and her got into a battle with their
respected devil fruits, the slowMO beam and the time Time
fruits? I think the world would probably
just explode. Right, like it just creates a

(25:19):
black hole. Yeah, I don't think the world
would be able to take that. I had some dumb joke to make and
now it's completely left my mindbecause you mentioned Foxy and
it wiped all my memory banks. I flash banged it out.
Basically, yeah. I sort of flash bang in the
server room. I, I don't, I don't know, it'll

(25:42):
come back to me at some point. Also they did Beppo dirty this.
Week by giving him the runs. By showing him have the runs.
He's like shivering in a Bush. Yeah, but like, they even added
the sound effects of just something.
They did them dirty. Like they could have just given
him privacy. We didn't need to hear that.
Instead, they showed him literally just unleashing hell

(26:02):
in the woods. Yeah, they did them dirty.
Why did Beppo need to get the runs right?
What is the narrative importanceof this?
It's fine, it's whatever. I did find it funny, though,
that scene. This.
I'm talking about last week's episodes for a second because I
wasn't here when Law crossed paths with Hawkins and he put

(26:25):
that stupid basket over us, had to try and mask his identity,
and then he immediately crouchesdown and goes.
Yep. This is clearly Trafalgar Law.
Hawkins is like, oh, okay, I getit.
I did bring it up last week. I was like, Oh yes, I can't let
them know who I am. Meanwhile, me also uses my #1

(26:49):
double for, you know, ability and to wearing my Jolly Roger on
my fucking clothes. Yeah.
Just like I can't let Hawkins know who I am.
Uses signature ability, hasn't covered up the hand tattoos.
Jolly Roger on my clothes it's the equivalent.
Of wearing like a fucking like playing fucking War Thunder and

(27:10):
like someone has like, I don't know, like a top hat on their
tank where it's like, ah, yes, that is definitely not a
Sherman. Like you might as well rob a
bank and plaster your Social Security card to the front of
your chest. Right.
Like you go to rob a bank with aski mask on and your driver's
license is taped to your face. Your fucking Walmart guest tag

(27:32):
on your chest. Yeah, you're still wearing your
uniform from your day job, and it's got your Hi, my name is
Trafalgar Law. How may I assist?
You today. May I please make a withdrawal
of everything I'd like? To make a withdrawal.
Of your life. But yeah, it definitely was a
choice. No, yeah, went out the window

(27:55):
super quickly now that it ends up mattering because they ran
the treasure boat right through there about two minutes later.
So this kind of feeds into, you know, last week's stuff feeds
into this week. So last week I made a whole big
deal about like, this is so stupid, getting the food to the
town. And I was like, they literally
have no way to defend themselves.
They're immediately going to getrobbed.

(28:17):
And lo and behold, this week they get robbed by some bandits.
Surprise surprise. Like they didn't even have
enough time to store that shit. They did and they didn't, right?
Because they they, they offload that entire boat so quickly and
then they even start dismantlingit all in the same day.
The giant fuck off treasure boatis unloaded of all of its goods

(28:42):
and then in the same day they start breaking it down for
fucking parts. They start chop shopping it and
it's almost completely gone by the time that our here, our
heroes leave the town. I'm not worried at all about
them getting caught out with food.
They worked fast and efficient to hide all of the evidence.

(29:05):
There was no record of that shipever being anywhere near there
by the end of that night. Right, but they still got robbed
of all their food. Yeah, or they're in the process
of getting robbed of all their food.
What do you think of a Shoe 10 Maru?
They kept mentioning shoe 10 Maru, whose other name I can't

(29:27):
remember anymore and I'm not going to Google.
They kept bringing him up as thestrongest guy in the world now,
and I mean, first of all, Cap, right, Second of all, they keep
giving him this very ominous overlay where just shadowed over
everything unlockable Smash Broscharacter style with the red

(29:50):
background. And I was just waiting for him
to pop up on our screens for thefirst time and just be a fucking
Coon. Like just a comedy break in the
show. Because that just felt like the
most one piece thing to do is set this guy up to be a complete
badass and super strong and justgoing to tear a hole through

(30:14):
anyone and anyone and then just have him be a goofy guy when
he's actually on your screen. That's what I was waiting for.
The version of them that we got,not flight that almost somewhere
in the middle where he's not really comedic, but he's kind of
a he's kind of lazy but is stillclearly very strong.
He's got this motherfuckers going toe to toe with Jack right

(30:36):
now in a sword fight and is kindof winning.
Like he let himself be caught upin that whirlwind of blades that
Jack throws his way. He's just standing there eating
that shit, dude. And then he gets some good ass
hits on Jack. When Jack's fight actually
fighting back, I was I was kind of digging Shoot 10 Marou's

(30:58):
vibe. I was kind of hoping that Jack
would get iced and be done. Oh.
That would have been awesome. Right.
Like just be like, no more Jack.He's old news.
But at the same time I was grateful because I'm not
pointing fingers but somebody was trying to hoodwink us and
say Oh no we didn't know Jack was alive, we don't know he's
still at the bottom of the ocean.

(31:18):
And I was like no the fuck we. They literally said he was here
7 days ago. Yeah, well, Luffy and Zorro are
like, he's at the bottom of the ocean because the last time they
saw him was when the elephant Zoe actually broke his bow and
sent him to the bottom of the ocean.
But then Kiku immediately after that is like, no, he was just
here like a couple of days ago. He's the one who did this.

(31:39):
In fact, did someone say it before Kiku?
I don't remember this. Well, no, it wasn't a character,
it was one of us. Oh, did this happen last week
and I just didn't? I wasn't here for it.
Yeah. Oh, what happened?
Wait, what is it? What is this?
Does someone spoil? No, no, not someone spoiling
because again, it was just last week.
It was just, you know, I'm saying, oh, well, you don't know

(32:02):
for sure if Jack's back. And it's like, my brother in
Christ, they literally said it. Oh.
OK, was it Brendan? No.
Oh, it was Juice Boy I. Didn't want to say names, I
didn't want to. No, it's fine.
We can say names. It was Justin.
He totally, he totally forgot. It's on recording.
What do you, what do you mean you don't want to say names?
It's on recording. They let everyone listen to it

(32:23):
last week. The audience knows it's not a
it's not a secret. Yeah, but you didn't know.
In this moment I didn't know, but with the magic of the Time
Time fruit, I went ahead in. Town it strikes again.
I hate this bullshit. Is that what's happening to you

(32:46):
every single time You don't wantto make it to a recording?
You're actually just being in the process of teleporting to
the future. Yeah, I actually went ahead a
couple of weeks for some other reason.
That would be terrible. I'm I'm like retroactively
spoiling myself. Right, because like, again,
like, besides the Kaido revealed, there's nothing

(33:06):
really, like, juicy to sink our teeth in.
Except for, you know, how they, you know, the elaborate plan of
telling everyone with a tattoo of a moon, Hey revolution, this
time save it on your you know. Save the date.
Yeah. RSVP, please.
Right. I like the little detail of when
they were all sitting in the theruins there and came out was

(33:29):
going over everything that we got a chance to hear what more
specifically USOP Robin and Frankie were doing and that
they're the jobs that they've been doing all this time
actually has some sort of reasonto it.
And I you know, it's it's easy to sit there and and go well,
these just kind of feel like jobs that they'd be good at.

(33:50):
You know, Robin does the very look pretty, but also like
dancing geisha occupation prettywell.
Frankie obviously already a Carpenter.
Usopp great at lying to people and just being a showman.
So all of these things already made sense for them, but for for
it to have some actual narrativepurpose where they're each
trying to accomplish a certain goal towards the mission was

(34:12):
pretty cool. I liked having those little
facts. No, yeah, I like that.
What I don't like is the Nami and everyone just waltzing right
up like hey guys, we relate, shut up, don't ask questions.
I think they had been there, they they'd met Kinemon and all
of them already. They were just were out looking
for Luffy all this time too. Where are they?

(34:33):
They didn't really necessarily explain that.
They made it sound like they just showed up haphazardly, like
oh, we just happened to be in the neighborhood because they
weren't dressed up like everyoneelse that yet either.
They kind of just show up. I mean, Luffy's the only other
one that because this is the entire group that came from bowl
cake. Yeah, I mean, I I'm making a

(34:55):
little bit of a leap in saying that they had met up with Kenny
Moan and maybe even Law at this point already, but because.
At that point, they would have been dressed up in their, you
know, their attire then, Yeah, Kim Moan would not just let them
free roam. Well, one, Sanji naked and two,
you know what I mean. That doesn't make sense.

(35:15):
Yeah, I guess that's kind of Fair.
So they just happened to find them.
That pisses me off that it's just like, really?
I don't know, the only other thing that makes me think they'd
already been there is that at nopoint were they as surprised to
see Law or Kinimon when they rolled up.
So it made me think that they had already been there.

(35:36):
And you know, Kenny Moan just didn't give them the clothes yet
for because they didn't have a mission.
They were just meandering aroundlooking for Luffy.
I don't know. Yeah.
I mean, who really knows? We'll probably never get an
actual answer to the, but. That's why I don't like it is
because they're there's no actual answer.
It's just, yeah, just shut up. We're moving on with the plot.
Kaido's here. Look over here.

(35:59):
Look at the Big Blue dragon. Whoa, look at the new plot
device that's happening now. Oh, don't think about the past
and the issues it has. And look.
At Shenron, how are our heroes going to get out of this one?
Continuity. Who needs that?
Whoo never heard of her? Also, did you think that Zorro
was ever going to meet up with him again?
So. As soon as that off praying self

(36:21):
came out, I just went, yeah, there he goes.
Yeah, he had to fight the white tiger with the sword in his
mouth and a matching eye scar, and he stayed behind in the
middle of a forest. And I thought to myself, well,
guess we're not seeing Zorro fora little while.
And immediately, yes, a town is below us, I'm going to go there.

(36:41):
That must be where my friends are.
A place with boats. We're pirates.
The show hurts my head. He's a goldfish.
Zara's a goldfish. Because he knew where they were
going. They were going to the castle.
Yes. A port.
That must be where everyone's meeting.
What? I don't think he knows where
that was, but he's been there. He knows where he's been there.

(37:05):
I don't think they've. They've been to the ruined
castle yet. Zorro did.
Yeah, but it's Zorro. Yeah, so that's what I mean.
Like he has the memory of a goldfish.
Yeah, I mean, it's Zorro. Zorro is not going to remember
shit. Castle port.
Those are the same thing, right?Small fishing, bungalow.
Castle. Yeah, these are the same.
It hurt my soul. OK, I remembered something else

(37:27):
that I want to talk about. I'm still annoyed because I
can't remember the thing that I wanted to ask you before about
that hasn't come back to me. But in the flashback of the past
slash the future when they're sent 20 years forward, basically
the entire time Kiku's face is shaded over.

(37:48):
Like at no point is Kiku's face visible when they're in the
present day. I'm just like not really sure
why they made that choice. See, I don't remember paying
attention to that detail specifically, but yeah.
They go through a lot of scenes from the past there when they're
talking, especially when they come upon that group of other

(38:10):
people that just wander up and are like, hey, we're followers.
We've been waiting for 20 years and we want to help you guys.
Like there are scenes where all of them are visible in the
screen at the same time, which is to say Kenny Moan, the other
two and Momo are there and then Kiku is also somewhere there in

(38:31):
the background. But Kiku's face is basically
never visible. It's either shaded over or all
of the features are gone. Like you just like can't see the
eyes of the mouth or whatever, but everyone else is totally
visible. I think it's just because she's
not the focal point of that moment, because she's not adding
or detracting from the narrativein those moments.
But I agree, it's why. Like why?

(38:52):
Yeah, like, well, why? Like Rizo and Condudo, they're
not contributing in any way to what goes on in these scenes,
but they're you can totally makeout everything that they look
like. Then there are even some
close-ups. I'm like actively going through
the scene right now as we're talking about it.
And there's even one part that Iforgot where basically everyone

(39:12):
gets a close up of their face, but Kiku's is cut off.
You can only see her face from the lip down.
Basically, you like a little bitof nose and that's it.
Yeah. It seems kind of weird.
Also also something oh God I always knock my glasses off my
face. I'm just fucking messed tonight.

(39:33):
The shiny glasses moment but then just gets buffed.
Yeah, just completely wet. Also also I went back farther to
the scene of when the samurai rush into the burning building
and find the mom, sister and Momo and I'm realizing that
Kiku's not there with them but ends up in the future.

(39:55):
What the fuck? So now I'm like is Kiku the
sister but ends up aged up for some reason?
I'd have to go frame by frame because I I didn't pick up on
that because I could have sworn that I saw her.
Maybe Kiku is the sister but never was time traveled.
But that's just her 20 years older.

(40:16):
I don't, I don't know, I. Don't know, we'd have to go
frame by frame. I'm like trying to pass through
some of these scenes and look with a more fine tooth comb and
see what I can find if anything.But the mom and the sister are
just like completely not like blacked out, but their features
are shaded over in it too so that you don't get to see
anything. Yeah, because I could have sworn

(40:36):
that I saw that they were. She was teleported into the
future. There's somebody here who's also
with them that has a hat on, andso it's obscuring their face.
But that being said, this personlooks like they have orange
hair. I don't know if that's just bad
coloring because there's fire all around them or what, but
this person looks like they havered hair, which is not what Kiku

(40:57):
has. Unless Kiku has dyed her hair in
the future at this point, but then no, when they get
teleported in the past, she's got blue hair, black hair,
whatever. So I don't know now I'm just
like running myself in circles. I'm going to stop talking about
this now. Before we confuse ourselves with
fact and fiction. Yeah, before I confused myself
and the audience. More importantly, I'm just
rambling at this point. How do you think we proceed from
here? What happens with Kaido now?

(41:18):
See, that's a good question because I'm kind of blown away
that Kaido's gotten here so quickly. 1-2 he's here in the
1st place, yeah, similar to everyone else.
So it's like if they fight rightthis moment, that's going to go
poorly regardless. Yeah, and fuck everything up.
But that's also Luffy's MO is fucking everything up.

(41:41):
Yeah, and Law fucking hates it. Right, like Law will remember
this. So like, I don't, I don't know,
like, because like at first I thought this next arc was just
going to be them going around collecting the seven swordsmen.
And I'm saying seven source wentbroadly just because, you know,
ha ha funny. Yeah, there's 9.

(42:03):
Right, right. Like, you know, it was just
going to be like an episodic, like, you know, Jojo's Bizarre
Adventure of just wandering through Wano collecting all the,
you know, samurai. But now it's like, is this going
to get fast tracked in a weird way?
Is there going to be some timey whiny bullshit that happens?
What the fuck is happening? So I genuinely don't know.
I can't guess it because the smart thing keyword would be to

(42:26):
run away and say fuck that village.
But we're also talking about Luffy.
Yeah, and he going to want to punch him in the schnoz.
Yeah, Luffy has learned about running when it's necessary,
though. We did it.
One whole cake. But he's also a Mora.
Yeah, but he does tend to learn his lesson when it's given to

(42:47):
him the hard way, so. But he's also a Mora.
I I I would give Luffy more credit now for something like
this. I absolutely refuse to give him
credit. That is one thing I will never
do. We ran away on Whole Cake and he
watched his friends get booty bopped on Sabodi 2 years ago and

(43:07):
he knows the value of running when you're outgunned and
they're very outgunned. I.
Don't know. He's still going to punch that
dragon in the Schnauz. He's going to punch the dragon
in the Schnauz. I have the gut feeling he's
going to try, or at least he's going to like, I don't know,
have dialogue with Kaido and be like, hey, you big dragon in
this guy, fuck you, and then runaway.

(43:27):
And then somehow they're going to get away.
So you agree that they're going to run away?
At some point, but they're definitely going to be like boy
Kaido, your moms a slag and thenlike, I don't know, D sync from
the server. Right, and then moon him.
Right. Like, I genuinely don't know.
Like, I don't know how they get away from him, especially

(43:48):
because he's a giant flying fuckoff dragon.
Yeah, because like, Big Mom, they had, you know, plot to make
it so why she couldn't, you know, catch up to him.
This one I don't know how. I'm sure we can make a plot for
this one too. Right.
And that's where I'm like, I don't know what could possibly
happen. There's no, there's something
off screen that's going to happen, but in the next episodes

(44:08):
that's going to justify them getting away.
I can't predict it. It's not physically possible
because it is information that Ido not possess and I never would
have, you know? I think Shu 10 Maru will help
them even if he doesn't mean to,right?
He'll just be trying to escape on his own.
Like kind of like Kaido or something.

(44:28):
Jack looks more terrified than anyone else does.
I mean, I would too. It's a giant fucking dragon.
And if I were, if I were, if, you know, Dragons were
hypothetically real, you know, I'm pretty sure mammoths would
be afraid of them. They would be a natural
predator. Just a Yeah, it is what it is.

(44:50):
It's like his devil through reacting to the sight of a
superior hunter, or just a predator in general, right?
Steve feels on an instinctual level.
I need to go. I'm in.
Danger. I'm in so much danger.
Also still with the bowl cut, I still see Ralph.
I see Ralph as Jack. This is Jack is just Ralph but

(45:12):
with the devil fruit. Ralph from The Simpsons.
You know the I'm in danger kid. Oh yeah, yeah, I didn't watch
The Simpsons. It's the same kid.
They're the same picture. Now I feel like I have to draw
that like I did with crocodile because I did Skinner as
crocodile but Ralph Jack as. Ralph, do it.

(45:36):
I should totally do that. Oh, that's going to take up so
much time. I am a little disappointed that
we're not going to get more of this Jack versus Shooten Maru
fight because it was going pretty well.
Like I was having fun watching it.
It was. Fun.
But. I don't know, it just didn't
blow me away like the other fights have been thus far in the
arc, you know? Yeah, I mean, I think it was the

(45:59):
last set of episodes. There was something in there
that I just. I was watching the fight
animation happen and thinking tomyself, Oh my God, somebody
poured some love into this one. We're Ian.
Right, like the way that I like to describe it.
Recently I've noticed is this isthe budget friendly fight versus

(46:21):
the whole hog we fighting anime.You know what I mean?
Like this is where the budget was saved.
This is definitely one of those fights where it's like, it's
good enough to pass but not goodin the sense of like damn I
can't wait to see this in an AMV, you know what I mean?
They made it good enough and then use the rest of the budget

(46:41):
for Kaido's transformation slasharrival scene.
Exactly, same with the Zorro fight.
The cat. Yeah, just offhanded.
Yes, I can see his so dumb. Yeah, so.
Dumb basically only served the purpose to get Zorro lost right?

(47:02):
Imagine if he fought him with only the sword in his mouth.
No hand swords that. Would have been funny.
Right. Yeah, that was that was weird.
Also, baby dog Storm and cat Viper was adorable.
That was heck and the cutest thing on the planet.
That was fucking cute as shit. I'm mad that we didn't get to
elaborate on that. I know dude.

(47:23):
But at the same time, I respect them for not because you know,
that would have been like another 4 episodes.
They're so wittle. I know they were so wittle I
wanted to boop them on the snoot.
Yeah, man, I just wanted to pickthem up and hug them.
Also, fuck those if if we had Valentine this week that
straight for those those samuraithat were beaten them up.

(47:44):
Oh. Absolutely, yeah.
I know exactly who I'm adding tomy FBI wanted list for.
Yeah, straight to jail. No jury, no judge, just jail.
Guilty. No trial necessary.
I think we got there. I think we're good on these
episodes, right? Pretty much, yeah.
Yeah. I'm just sinking my teeth into

(48:05):
that big juicy lizard lizard lizard.
Lizard. All right, cool.
Then we move on to another segment of Gabe's Fun Facts,
which I hear you guys missed outon last week.

(48:26):
I don't remember because I like Zorro and I'm a goldfish.
That's all right. I've got some more facts from
Gabriel, and we're going to we're going to go through these.
Hello, this is Gabriel coming atyou live from a secret bunker.
Apologies for not turning in a script last week.
Turns out escaping from a mentalhospital takes more time than

(48:48):
you'd think. It's all right.
I'm glad you're out now, I guessI hope you don't end up there
again so you can keep making scripts for us.
Fun facts. Because of this unfortunate
mishap, this week's fun facts will include facts from last
week's set as well. With that all out of the way,
let's start with the fun facts for this week's set because,
well, there's not a lot. I can't go into detail for

(49:09):
spoiler's sake, but to put it simply, going over fun facts for
the majority of this week's content risks me repeating
myself in the future. That said, there's still a
couple of interesting bits to discuss.
How about Kaido, specifically his newly revealed dragon form.
As you'd expect from a notable villain such as him, there's a
lot to say about him, and his Devil Fruit has no shortage of

(49:31):
notes either, so I'll only mention a few for now.
The appearance of Kaido's Devil Fruit is obviously inspired by
real East Asian depictions of the Azure Dragon, a dragon God
who among four other beings, makes up the four guardians
among the Chinese constellations, with the Azure
Dragon specifically representingthe cardinal direction of East.
In that set, the Azure Dragon also symbolizes the season of

(49:53):
Spring, the Easter season, and the element of Wood, which is
one of the five elements in Chinese philosophy.
Interestingly though, despite his visual inspiration, Haido's
dragon forms actually slightly incongruous with common
depictions of the Azure Dragon in Japan in one small aspect,
his claws. Kaido's claws have 4 toes, while

(50:15):
Japanese depictions of the AzureDragon normally feature three,
with four toes usually being more common in Mongolia,
Vietnam, and Korea. This might seem initially
insignificant until you realize that the amount of toes on an
Azure Dragon actually has historical significance.
In the dynasty of Imperial China, a dragon with four toes

(50:35):
symbolized imperial aristocracy,IE Princess denoting imperial
ranking just below the emperor himself, who is symbolized by a
dragon with five. So basically, if you want to be
respected, have more toes. So if you ever want to garner
more respect among your peers, Devin, just get a toe
transplant. I'm going to go to Chernobyl and

(50:56):
kick the elephant foot. I'll get more toe toes that way,
right? Oh yeah, you'll get more
something all right. Oh geez, all right.
Kaido's devil through was actually foreshadowed in the
story outside of the tattoos on his body.

(51:17):
In the Punk Hazard arc, multiplepeople end up fighting Vega
Punk's artificial Dragons, amongthem Kinemon.
While fighting one of these Dragons, Kinemon expressed
unusually deep resentment when Brooke noted this attitude
towards the dragon by stating that Kinemon's hatred was quote
reminiscent of someone trying toavenge their dead parents.
Is that really what Brooke said?Very specific, but good call,

(51:41):
Brooke. Kennywell replied nothing less,
obviously referring to Odin's death of the Hand of Kaido.
His evil fruit was similarly foreshadowed when Kanjuro drew
Ryonoske. Oh, right, my man Ryonoske.
Kanjiro's still a villain for this.
Why swear on me, mom? He's drawing these these poor
animals like this. He's on that list too, don't

(52:04):
worry. He's on the list to assist in
reaching Zoe, which notably displeased Kinemo.
Finally, for Kaido, ODA has stated that if Zorro were to
have had any Devil fruit, it would have been Kaidos, though
not consumed by himself, but rather by one of his swords.
Oh, Funk freed the dragon sword.Funk freed the dragon sword.

(52:30):
That would have been sick. Oh, that would have been fire.
That would have been so much cooler.
I want dragon sword. That is awesome.
That's badass. Could you imagine Zorro and only
form but one of his Dragons is asword dragon?
Okay, I'm going to paint a picture right?

(52:51):
We've seen Zorro with multiple arms right?
With different swords. But now imagine each of the arms
is like fucking King Ghidorah dragon heads.
Like it's not actually Dragons, they're swords, but everyone
perceives them as Dragons because of their threat.
Yeah yeah, yeah, like the extra only heads that he gets, just

(53:13):
his bloodlust on display. Yeah, manifests 3 headed dragon.
Fuck that goes so hard. Right.
Oh ODA, you drop the ball. I want it.
I know the budget probably wouldn't have been able to
survive that scene though. Yeah, I mean, it makes sense for

(53:33):
Zor to want to do this all on his own merits, but Dragon Sword
would be so sick. Oh that would be so cool.
All right, now for some manga toanime differences.
The tiger with the sword which Zorro chases after is entirely
made-up by the anime and the manga.
Zorro simply vanishes from one panel to the next, with it never

(53:54):
exactly being explained how we got separated, which implies
that this absolute intellectual terrorist somehow got lost while
taking a ride. Incredible stuff.
That is incredible stuff. I wish we had that.
That I would have been OK with. I don't want this tiger.

(54:16):
I want Zorro blinking out of existence.
Zorro is the epitome of the kid on a leash at like a fucking
like, fair. You know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, he needs a leash. He's a runner.
Yeah, totally. 1 100,000% I. Kind of want to see those manga
frames of like where it's just like there he is.

(54:37):
And and he's gone. It's the reverse of the octopus
from the beginning of the arc, where the octopus just randomly
shows up on the boat and nobody bats an eye.
Incredible. I love it.
Right. The reveal that Kenemone and
Kanjuro always knew that Shutanmuru was Ashura, his
exclusive to the anime. This revelation never explicitly

(54:58):
happens in the manga, though it can easily be.
And that's it for this week's set.
So how about a couple for the last set?
I promise some of these are realgood.
I was initially going to have anentire segment on Thomas Fruit,
but I figure it's pretty self-explanatory in most
aspects, so I will focus only onone single thing.
Thomas Fruit only works on animals.

(55:20):
Does not work on humans. This rule is hard coded, has
only broken with gifters for onesimple reason.
Caesar sucks. Consuming a smile fruit only
gives to a zoo and devil fruit ability by technicality.
What it actually does is combinethe consumer genetics with that
of an animal, causing them to become part human or whatever

(55:41):
they were and part animal. They cannot deactivate this
transformation and are permanently transformed into
this mutated form due to their part animal nature.
Thomas Millets work on them. So in conclusion, Thomas ability
works on gifters because Caesar sucks.
When in doubt, always remember Caesar sucks.
True, I like him, but true. That is pretty funny.

(56:03):
But this does kind of, you know,answer the question.
But yeah, so Momo and Kaido havetheir own devil fruit.
Maybe, you know, this does kind of cement down that they ate the
same apple core. Wait, why does it prove that
Kaido has one? And if these facts are facts,
you know that Caesar doesn't actually make devil fruit, he
just genetically alters people. Oh.

(56:24):
Yes. So these guys are definitely
Devil Fruit users. Well, I was never really
concerned about Momo. I was always pretty convinced
that Momo had an actual Devil fruit.
It was really just about whetherKaido had a true Devil fruit or
not. So yeah, it seems to reason that
they both have the they are. It is lizard.
Lizard, right? I have no idea.
Reptile I think. Either way, they have the dragon

(56:49):
model devil fruit, both of them with some slight alteration for
some reason it seems. I'm convinced that they just ate
a piece of an apple. They didn't eat the whole apple.
Yeah, like Momonosuke put it down after taking a bite.
Like went outside to play and then Kaido rolled up and went oh
snap. Well, more likely the other way
around. Kaido nom nom.

(57:09):
Then he's like, no, we need to save the the other pieces, keep
them away from me because instinctually I will need to eat
the rest of it because, you know, you're kind of forced to
eat the whole thing. I, I don't know, this theory is
falling apart as I'm saying it, but shut up.
It could be the case. Yeah, I suppose we'll see.
All right, now some minor facts for the last set that I felt

(57:30):
were worth highlighting here. Speed's name derives its origin
from the card game Speed fittingin with the general playing card
theme of other members of Kaido's crew.
Do they have a playing card theme?
Oh, yeah, I guess. Hold em.
Oh, yeah. Hold em.
Jack Blackjack. Right.
OK, yeah, speed, speed the card game.

(57:51):
All right, fair play. But what the fuck is Batman?
Well, he's talking. Batman is Batman.
Batman Gazelle. Are these different card games
that I've just never heard of? Yeah, you're just not cultured
enough to know this. I guess I don't know enough card
game lore. You never played Gazelle Man
before. I can't.
Wait to see Magic the Gathering,the character, or the crossover

(58:15):
with. Pokemans, yeah.
Where's Yugi? Just actual Yugi Moto shows up
in the shows like like they're not even trying to be subtle
about it and. That's how you get your fucking
Hawkins dual mode. Yeah, yeah, we already think
he's got a Millennium piece, so the.
Millennium Sword Sword. Her favorite food speed that is

(58:40):
as reveals on her fever card areapples because of course Thomas
favorite foods as revealed by our fever card are apples and
Oshiruko. I don't know what that is.
Do you know what Oshiruko is? I would imagine it's whatever
food of the week that she was able to eat.
Oh, it's a dessert soup made of sweet red bean paste and rice

(59:00):
flour dumplings. So I was right, it was the food
that she was fed. It was pretty much exactly what
she had in the small village beginning.
So the only other sort of food she's ever had.
Ever. Basically, yeah, it's the apple
and the two things we've seen her eat so far, apples and red

(59:20):
bean soup. Not a big list.
No. Can't really have a favorite
when there's only two items in your food repertoire.
She's only ever eaten two things.
Well, three things She's technically had rice.
Yes, but it's not a favorite that just exists.
She is also distinctly listed tonot have a least favorite food.
Deliberating this fact for longer than 5 seconds makes me
sad, so I will stop right here. You too, Gabriel.

(59:49):
I I'm so glad we're out of the part of the story where Tom was
being tortured all the time to let my girl live that.
Was good. All right, finally, we're ending
today's set on a big one, so getready.
Remember the scene which Luffy and Co returned to Okoboree Town
with the wagon of food? During this grand return,

(01:00:11):
there's a compilation of variousOkoboree Town residents being
miserable due to their circumstances.
Among those, there's a very minor scene where her mother
holds her child in her arms, crying, with the child's
grandmother praying beside her before they're informed about
Luffy's arrival. This scene is pretty innocuous
in the anime, but actually holdsa terrible secret.

(01:00:33):
You see, this scene was actuallyheavily censored compared to the
manga. In the manga, this scene
consists of a single panel in which the same scenario is
shown. However, in the manga, the
mother is shown holding a knife over her child and a noose is
hanging next to the grandmother.What the?

(01:00:55):
So they were just prepared to suicide pact it because life
sucks. They were going to kill
themselves. Holy shit.
Oh, Devin, you've got to go to the fun fact sheet.
He put a picture of the manga panel here so that we know he's
not lying. Holy shit.
Hold up, hold up. That's.
Crazy. Oh fuck, I love the the little
brackets. I love that because that is

(01:01:16):
definitely a vibe we're feeling.Well, yeah, I mean, it also goes
with what Gabe said next, which we did for him.
At the risk of bringing the age rating of this podcast episode
up, I won't further elaborate onwhat this may be implying about
the family's plans, but let's just say it isn't pretty.
Don't worry, Gabe, you didn't have to.

(01:01:37):
We we did that for you. We did it.
Wow, that is. That's dark.
I didn't know Odo had that dog in him.
I mean, I guess we've talked about things that are all so
dark, like human trafficking andsuch, but damn.
And and slavery, but basically flat out implying suicide.
That's that's nuts. And that's about all for fun

(01:01:59):
facts this week. I will see you all next week.
When Odo, Odo, they found me. See you all next week.
Have a nice day. Gabriel got found I I hope he
makes it out. If not, we could always break
him out. Well, he's on the run again, so
we'll we'll have to Ocean's 11 his ass out I guess.

(01:02:21):
Yeah, but we got deadlines. Those are more important.
Well, I, I mean, I, I like Gabriel, I like his fun facts.
I'm I'm willing to spend some time getting him out of jail so
you can keep. That that's what I mean.
Like we don't have time to wait for him to wait his sentence.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got.
Deadlines. Yeah, we can't wait for him to
break himself out of the mental asylum like last time we missed
a week. I'm not looking to repeat that I

(01:02:42):
knew by fun facts. Thank you thank you Gabriel.
These were delightful as always.I loved it.
I'm especially very astonished by the manga panel reveal for
the woman and her child and grandma that's.
Crazy. So I've been watching this
anime. I cannot pronounce it for the
life of me because it's like gotcha Kuta.
Sure. I nickname it the trash man

(01:03:03):
trash man. You know, because synopsis.
Essentially floating city drops trash everywhere.
Guy who lived on the floating city booted off vengeance story
in the most recent episode. They had a very very child
friendly way of explaining a very horrible thing.

(01:03:25):
I don't know how to explain it. So like you, you think this is
bad For those that who are also watching that show?
It's the the Mr. scene with Amo and it is very dark.
So this is not new to me, but also no bueno.

(01:03:51):
Yeah. All right.
Well, thank you again, Gabriel for your fun facts.
Next week is 9/13 to 9/16. Yes, that is correct.
Moving on to quotes, you got anyquotes over there buddy?
There's only one thing that stuck with me as like these
episodes are going on and it's Keenamon as he's telling the

(01:04:12):
story every time he's like getting separated from like
another character and he's like screaming.
He's like rising and it like bleeds out into him in the
moment, like talking to Luffy, like still screaming it out,
like he's acting it out, like the scenes of like everything
from time travel. That that those are my quotes or

(01:04:34):
just that? Right.
No, no. We attempted to navigate our way
to Zo, but without the necessarysailing skills.
We were shipwrecked, separated from Rizo.
We had no choice but to carry on.
I shall reunite the view in Zo Rizo.

(01:04:59):
Yeah, he's just screams everyone's Dame.
It's so funny. They do it the first time and
it's just Nami looking at him like what the fuck are you
doing? But then he just does it for
every single one. Yeah, then he, then he just
keeps repeating it for all of them.
I'm like, all right, sure, fuck it.
Well, man, he's getting into it.He's trying to win his Oscar.

(01:05:20):
He's doing his best. He is.
He's doing, he's doing great. Yourself.
Personally I have I think 2 quotes.
Let me pull up my notes again. Here is my phone closed.
Oh I I have written down the quote from Odin's wife, the
prophecy. Basically that are her last
words. Just because it's poetic and and

(01:05:41):
and cool and all. We haven't at all really spoken
about it. You are the moon, unaware of the
dawn. May your purpose be fulfilled
and cast 9 shadows on the night woven of 20 years and you shall
know the brilliance of the dawn.These were alleged to be her

(01:06:05):
last. Words.
I wonder if that's a haiku? It's not OK.
But also the current Shogun Orochi, he has taken this as a
curse in that 20 years from thatmoment, which is the present
day, 9 ghost warriors are going to come and kill his ass.
Which it both is and isn't true depending on how you look at it.

(01:06:26):
So there's that. I just figured they'd be worth
mentioning explicitly here. Two more quotes.
Luffy gets the fuck out of Zorrowhen Kenny Moan is describing
the part where all of the peoplethat came here with him have
some sort of job in helping out and like passing out those
Flyers and whatever. And he describes Usopp and Robin

(01:06:46):
and Frankie's job and then he goes and Zorro's helping too and
Luffy's like I bet Zorro's not helping at all.
And then it flashes to Zorro, like on a boat or whatever,
which he clearly found in this boat village that's on the
harbor there based at the Capitol.
Both so Zorro Judo and Sir Usohachi are aiding.

(01:07:07):
US. Sorry to say, but I don't think
Zorro's helping. So stupid.
What a fucking goon. And then I figure you probably
would relate to Kaido over he just says before he turns into
his dragon form he goes. Living is such a pain in the
ass. Living is suffering.

(01:07:30):
I'm so sick of it all vibe.
And then he turns into a fuckingdragon and goes to fuck shit up.
I wish I could do that. Like I'm just picturing myself

(01:07:51):
in the gas station, like living is such a pain in the ass and
like a customer says something like hey can I get some new
parts and I just turn into a dragon and fuck off.
Dad and you just leave. Somebody orders 30 games of
Powerball and just go. You know what?
I've had enough. My time is now.
Yeah, my time is now, but that'sall the quotes I got.
What about? I got my hand on the button

(01:08:14):
again. Lizard, lizard, lizard lizard
lizard, lizard lizard. Stop it.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, give me that.
I'm going to break it. Yeah, that's right.
Back off. All right, Who's your golden
hand pick for the week, buddy? Kaido Kaido Lizard lizard.
I Why did I even ask? I love me a villain.

(01:08:36):
I love me a new villain. New villain dropped.
Yeah, I mean, he did do the cooldragon transformation thing.
And he actively like, fucking gave me a left hook.
Narratively I, I like both, wantto vote for Kaido and don't.
It's just that there was almost no one else in these episodes

(01:08:57):
that was that worth talking about.
I don't kaido kaido kaido lizardlizard lizard.
I have a strong feeling we're gonna be going Kaido 2 weeks in
a row, but that's fine. I'll go Kaido.
We'll go Kaido this week. Step on it or else.

(01:09:18):
Hey, Kaido. Lizard.
All right, here's the button. Lizard lizard, Lizard lizard.
All right, Lizard wins. We're going to type it in as
Lizard. No, no.
All right, fan mail moving on towe have an e-mail here and it

(01:09:49):
goes like this. Hello one piece with a Lime
crew. I finished your sad episodes
tier list episode. I agree that Nami asking for
help was not sad but memorable because it's a hype moment that
got me thinking. What are other one piece moments
or episodes that you hyped that got us hyped?

(01:10:09):
I think thank you for years of quality, mediocre and puzzling
content. They're all gems.
Even Devin. Yay.
Then that e-mail was given to usby community member Lemon.
Thank you Lemon for the e-mail. Other One Piece moments or
episodes I'm assuming Lemon means that get you hyped.

(01:10:31):
So the way I interpret it is basing it off of like that Nami
comment, like it that that's a moment where like you're
supposed to feel like, not despair, but you're supposed to
be like, yes, we're going forward with the plot, right?
Yeah. I mean, I, I don't know that
necessarily needs to be like thesame vein, but it's just just a
moment or an action that somebody takes that gives you

(01:10:56):
that like good skin crawly feeling where it hypes you up
the. Problem is, is that I'm looking
at this through rose tinted glasses now because I don't
specifically remember how I feltin that moment, but like, my gut
instinct is that moment where fucking crocodile shoves the
fucking hook through Luffy's chest, right?

(01:11:16):
Like I have a vivid memory somewhat of having feelings that
that was the most hyped fucking moment on the planet.
But at the same time, it's been so long that I don't remember it
and I'd have to rewatch it to belike, yes, you know, sure.
But then there's also a recency bias where it's like, I haven't
really had any moments necessarily, except for right
now with Kaido coming in and going.

(01:11:38):
There's a big fucking dragon, you know, like, like, Oh my God,
it's a dragon. I love me some kaijus.
Yeah. So it's like I, I don't know
height moments. I think that one of the moments

(01:11:59):
that I've remembered recently thanks to our the anniversary
episode releasing someone recently and also the movie that
we did for Sky Pia during our hiatus.
Filler Yomi streak for Sky Pia. Thinking about the about Luffy

(01:12:22):
ringing the bell up in Sky Pia and just Nolan and Kalgara's
relationship in general makes mepretty hype.
The ringing of the bell and whatit means in that moment is that
gets me hype, that gets me excited.
Yeah, I, I don't know, I just keep running into roadblocks
with my head because it's like now I have to reprocess specific

(01:12:45):
moments, you know what you mean?And there's, we're talking about
900 something episodes of content I'm buffering through my
head and I'm just doing using this Google SparkNotes that my
fucking hard drives are backed up on and they're failing.
Yeah, I'm thinking about the some of the smaller moments too,
like Fujitora doing planetary devastation for the first time.

(01:13:09):
True, that was hype. And just thinking about how
fucking absurd it is that he that he can just do that, but
also how cool it is every singletime I watch it.
But like Hiking Bear, does that count as a hype moment?
Sure, yeah. I can count as a hype moment for
you because I feel like that's more memorable because it's just
a core memory now. I would say it's probably, it
leans more towards memorable than hype.

(01:13:30):
Like what's I think of hype as something that's going to make
me jump out of my chair just like a woo did that just happen
type of deal? Like, maybe it doesn't need to
be that crazy, but even just something that gets you really
excited, you know? White beard doing the fucking
tremors. That shit was hyped.

(01:13:53):
Yeah, yeah, Watching him do thatwith like during the war.
Yeah, like when he grabs the. Air and just and just wrens it.
Oh yeah. That shit was hype.
Yeah, see, that's a good exampleof a hype moment.
That's good shit right there. Then there's also Blackbeard
eating the heart but not eating it.
But not we don't. Yeah.
Whatever happened there? Yeah, you know.

(01:14:13):
Nothing's more hype than watching a Kainu put his fists
through Ace. Right.
I'm kidding. And then reliving it eight more
times. Oh yeah, that's my favorite.
I love then reliving it 8 times during our filler stuff.
I'm kidding, but only a little bit.

(01:14:33):
He's. Not kidding.
I mean, there's also like, I'm trying to remember like specific
moments that I thought were hype.
Like Gear 2? I don't remember Gear 2
specifically. Is when he's fighting Bluno from
the bar. I don't.
I didn't really care for it. I was extra salty that art I, I
remember that. That's what I do remember.

(01:14:54):
Not same, I like that arc a lot and 2nd gear being Luffy's first
major upgrade and having it be still what I think is one of the
fuller versions of his devil fruit.
Just the idea that he pumps his muscles and coils them so much
that he just gets super speed like that.
Oh, that part. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(01:15:15):
That one. I was thinking of third gear,
no? Dude I think third gear is
honestly kind of like like it makes sense with the power, but
I don't think it's nearly as cool as second gear.
Agreed. No, I I mixed them up.
So I I thought you were talking about.
No, see that one I don't is the first time he does third gear
when he punches Lucci. No but maybe I just remember he

(01:15:39):
was on a bridge, they were on the bridge, they were doing
stuff and he was Chibby Luffy for like 10 minutes.
I don't remember. Again, this is 700 episodes ago
I think maybe. I think it's against Lucci.
I'm not like 100% on it. I'm like, I'm like a solid 85%.
I remember he did it twice. He did it once against Lucci.
Yes, that was the finishing below, but there was a first

(01:16:01):
time because I think he was justpunching through a door the
first time. You might be right about that.
I think that I think that's right.
Yeah, there was like some immovable door that he would had
to go through with insert other character Kobe esque.
Either way, second gear way morehype.
Agreed. Breaking that out during Blue

(01:16:21):
Note from the bar because it can't catch up to him and he
just beats the brakes off of them, so I'd love it.
Oh snake man that was hype. Yeah, Snake Man's good too.
I think I like the original Bounce Man reveal more than
Snake Man, but Snake Man's good too.
Bounce man was good but it snakeman that was cool.
Oh crap, guillotine hype. True, true.

(01:16:45):
The epitome of hype. Yeah, give me that crap
guillotine. For sure.
Literally we still talk about itto this day.
Yup. I feel like that's the king of
hype. I need it.
Quite literally anything Sorrow does.
Guitar riff? Yeah.
Guitar riff. Guitar riff Hype.
Insert guitar riff here. I I yeah, I there there's

(01:17:11):
probably a bunch more that if I like really sat down and thought
about them more, I would I probably come up with.
But those are the ones that cometo my mind immediately and I
think that's yeah, I think that's pretty good.
All right, cool. Thanks again for the for the
e-mail Lemon. That was great.
That was a great question. I love reminiscing on some of
the old stuff and trying to remember what what I remember
about this show. That being said, we're going to

(01:17:32):
move on to the garb gab now. Here you go, stick your hand in.
I've I've missed this. All right, I'm going to savor
this. All right, I'm going in.
Lizard. You hear that?

(01:17:54):
I do. I can't say I'm satisfied.
You thought that there was only one.
I don't know why I thought therewas only one, but I've been
proven not just wrong, but miserably wrong.
This is a garb gap filled with lizard buttons and I just, I
just want nothing to do with it.Look at this in this maniacal

(01:18:20):
fucking laugh. I hate you.
I hate you all right about underside of this button says
who's that Pokémon And we're going to do Urashima, it says.
Press it. Is it going to say Urashima or
is it going to say Lizard? You'll have to find that out.

(01:18:42):
Gotcha. Lizard.
Oh my God, fucking lizard. I hate you.
I hate you. Stay one step ahead of them,
boys. Who's that Pokémon Urashima?
I'm moving out. Give me this fucking bag.
But I don't have any goddamn more of these.
I've hidden them throughout the entire building.
I know I feel like I'm going to fear for my life, like I'm

(01:19:02):
getting iced in college, you know, with the smeared off ices.
You're going to sit on a toilet seat, lizard.
You're going to shut the fridge,lizard.
You're going to everything. I'm going to try and go to sleep
at night. My head's going to hit the
pillow lizard. Just going to live my life in
fear. OK, we're doing Urashima the
giant sumo wrestler guy. So like, I'm torn, right?

(01:19:27):
Because he's thick, this boy. Thick.
Yeah. And like instinctually, for some
reason my brain saw Mr. Mime, but that doesn't fit.
Yeah. Also, we've definitely used that
on several at least two different occasions for other
people before. But then like the other part of
me is like the other memorable part about him is literally the
bull he's riding. So I was thinking of like, you

(01:19:48):
know, the bovine. Well, I think it's literally
called bovine. But that doesn't work either
because that's not his identity.This is really tough because we
don't know who he is, but he like in my mind, he's seems kind
of sluggish because he's depressed as fuck.
So like part of me spiritually wants to say Snorlax.
I mean, he's big boy, but he's alittle too mobile to be Snorlax.

(01:20:09):
Isn't there like a machump or something like that?
Like the he's like in like the next Gen. machump.
You know what I'm talking about.It's like the pre evolution of
Snorlax. Munchlax.
That one. Machump.
It's Machamp, but he loses the championship belt.
He's a He's a Machamp. Machamp.

(01:20:36):
It's just Machamp without the belt.
Oh my God somebody photoshopped this.
Please make it into a Pokémon card.
I I want a custom Pokémon card that's just much chump.
It's the same exact looking thing, just without the belt.
And a sad face. And a sad face.

(01:20:58):
And maybe if we actually turn into a Pokémon card, give him
some dumb attack names or whatever.
Wearing like a wife beater or something.
Living the glory days. Stained.
Yeah. Got 10 HP?
God, that's, that's incredible. One of the abilities is Back in
my day, I used to be able to. You know I was a brown belt when

(01:21:27):
I was your age. Oh my God.
But yeah, much LAX are like I just see that similarly.
Based mostly off of visuals, thePokémon that kind of came to my
head initially was Smooch Him the pre evolution to Jinx that
came out in like Gen. 4 or something.

(01:21:52):
I see it. It was really just because pink
and also kind of the hair, although in my head before I re
looked up what smooch him lookedlike smooch him had a hairstyle
that was a little bit closer to what what urushima has that
which is just not the case, but I'm I I don't I'm doubling down

(01:22:12):
on it anyway. I take this just put a Kitana
his hands or their hand. He doesn't use a sword.
What? Wait, I thought, wait, are we
not? Oh, we're talking about the
sumo, Yeah. What do you?
What do you? What do you mean what you're
talking about? Well, it still works.
They're both big and thick. Do you think we're talking about
Hawkins? No shoe 10 Maru.

(01:22:34):
Oh, no, no. You could see where I got
confused. I initially passed over the part
where you were like, he rides a bull.
And I was like, do I just now remember Urushima riding a bull?
I don't know. That makes more sense.
Makes more sense. Oh yeah, So going back then, if
we're talking about that one, then yeah, for sure.

(01:22:56):
Damn sure. That is definitely Snorlax.
Double down, triple down, Snorlax.
There's got to be is there not like a like a wrestling type
Pokémon? I mean, I know there's outside
of Machamp and and and that lineMacham, Machoke, Machamp like

(01:23:17):
they don't, they don't fit, they're too muscular, but I
guess. The problem is that there's a
lot of punching. There's not a lot of like sumo I
could think of off the top of myhead.
Yeah, I. Don't know, Manky.
You know, actually I would, yeah.
You upgrade that to primate and that that's actually not the
worst call out act. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just just bigger, bigger manky, more muscular manky.

(01:23:39):
That's not terrible. There's a big and angry like
like Urushima too. Oh, there's also what's the
Pokémon's name literally designed like a sumo wrestler.
Oh, how lucha. No, no, no.
It's from Pokémon Black to It's a starter.
Oh, you're talking about Incineroar?
No. What type were they?

(01:24:00):
They're always the same type. It's great.
Grass, fire and water No. Shit, I'm talking about the one
that you're looking trying to look up.
He's a pig. He's a fire type.
Tepic evolves into Pig Night, who then evolves into Ambor.
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I guess I
got to see it. Very sumo esque.
Yeah, big boy. Thick pig, yeah.

(01:24:22):
Yeah, I can. Kind of see it.
Also, Speaking of a lot of Pokémon I tried on my own a Nuz
Lock. Yeah, I got fucking.

goosey rules and I, I got fucking wrecked.

heart. All right, Devin, I think we've,

I look in. I stare.

It's. Kind of hot.
How was my? Digestive tract last week.
You noticed anything in there while you were?
There. Yeah.
I mean, I I still haven't seen Justin around, so I'm kind of
worried. He he got out.
He got out. Don't worry.
Well. I guess it's true he was on last

(01:25:51):
week's recording. I just happened to not be there
so. Yeah, you took a little bit
longer to process there because you were second.
Yeah, I didn't get like a great look, but it was definitely a
lot of cheese, like a large amount of undigested cheese.
And I'm not, I'm not really surewhat that's about.
I mean, it's cheese. It's cheese.

(01:26:11):
But like, I'm worried that it wasn't digested.
Like I could see the crust of the pizza digested and all of
the tomato sauce not nowhere to be found, just mixed in
perfectly with the stomach acid.But like the just like straight
blocks of cheese. In fact, they were the cheese
was reforming into blocks from its melted state like it was it

(01:26:34):
was solidifying like it was curdling almost in your stomach
acid. So I don't know what that's
about, but I guess I hope that you don't have lactose
intolerance, but otherwise it's going to come back with a
vengeance. I.
Mean even if I did, I'd probablystill just eat it anyways.
Just like regurgitate it and then eat it again.
Yeah, like you're a bird or something.
Yeah, like a cow, you know? Yeah, it's cheese.

(01:26:56):
Shit's always good. Except for when it's blue.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of blue cheese.
Get that shit out of here. That's mold.
Yeah, yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Get away from the bag now. What?
Stop it. God, give me that.
Fucking God damn. It Lost my grip.
Why are you so good at that? Why?
Why? Why does it only matter to you

(01:27:17):

This is my life. Lizard it's.
Consumed by lizard. Lizard lizard, lizard Lizard
