Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hey, what up buddy? Not much, just came back from
vacation. Yeah, how was that dude?
I rented a hotel room and I didn't leave for two days.
It was great, I loved it. You know you could do that in
your own room, right? Bro, my room is where all my
stress is housed. No thanks, Yucky.

(00:22):
Oh, OK, I mean, that's fair. Bro I go to hotel I don't got
clean I could cook if you know there is a little kitchenette in
the in the room but I could order takeout room service.
I could do whatever the fuck I want and have nothing to worry

(00:46):
about because it's someone else's shopping up after me.
And that's also not me saying I'm like some heathen.
Like produces waste for people to just sweep up behind his feet
on an animal. You'll leave garbage in your
wake. Man I just, I just love going
somewhere else to do nothing. That's my ideal vacation.
Just rent a hotel room, chill the fuck out away from

(01:06):
everything that stresses you outman.
Literally all I did watch one piece and order dominoes, it was
great. I love the idea.
You know, I've been really into DND podcasts and stuff recently
and every now and then you hear about retreats that people take
with their friends to do a wholeweekend of just ADND campaign,

(01:30):
whether it's a big one shot or they, this is just what they do.
They gather once a month for their campaign that they that
they do every month. And what you just said sounded
like that, except it was I, I rented Airbnb, I rented a hotel
room to go relax and watch the new episodes of One Piece that

(01:51):
I've let left pile up in the background just so that I could
do this. And I love that for you,
honestly. Oh yeah.
Is Uber Eats more expensive thanroom service?
You know, I don't actually know.I would still assume.
No, I don't know. I haven't rented.
I should say I've never gotten hotel room service in like

(02:12):
fucking forever. Maybe even really haven't been
to a hotel that even has that. There's also that in.
The first place in a long time, I think maybe once in my entire
life have I ever been. And I'm fancy enough hotel to
have room service, but I just, yeah, it feels like they're
probably pretty close to each other at this point with all of

(02:32):
the fees that you would incur with Uber.
Now if you got that Uber one, baby.
Is that you? You got Uber one?
Considering how much I shamefully order out for work
and shit like that, it actually does save me a bunch of money.
So you do have it, yes. Or are you considering it?
Oh, OK. No, I, I, I have it OK.
I think I just finished my firstyear.

(02:54):
I I save so much on like servicefees and taxes and shit like
that. Yeah, mostly service fees and
delivery fees. Fair enough.
Which is like kind of fucked up how much I'm saving by like
subscribing to it. And then it even because I'm
subscribing, encourage me to spend more money.
Man, I hate so much about this world.
Yeah, late stage capitalism the motherfucker, huh?
The way I get juice for everything in my life and

(03:16):
financially is one of them. Yeah, I mean, you could also not
order Ubereats as much, that's also on the table.
You're right, however, that would require me to become a
better man and I'm just not there yet.
I'm just not there yet, man. That's.
No, I have many steps of progress to make before I become
the type of guy who doesn't order Ubereats damn near every

(03:40):
day for work week. The 36 step program.
Oh man. All right, well, I I assume that
your lovely weekend vacation OnePiece binge didn't include these
episodes. No, no, of course not.
I that would be mildly responsible of me.
No, I I just did a bunch of recap bullshit and jumping
around do it doing work on vacation, No.

(04:03):
Oh, so wait, you weren't even catching up on like the new new?
No. What is well like, OK, new for
the podcast? No new, New, yes.
Like the newest episodes of the of the show itself.
That's what I assumed you were doing OK.
Yes, that is correct. OK.
You scared me for a second. You were like just you know like
recap stuff. I was like what the fuck are you
talking about? Like you just go and watch non

(04:24):
Canon recap YouTube videos like I don't.
I thought you were catching up on the show itself here.
I caught a bunch of anime actually.
Man shout out to spy Family, love that shit.
I got to get on that. There's a lot I got to get on,
but that's one of them. All right, Justin, well, are you
in for the summary or am I in for the summary?
Yes, sure I am. Oh, OK, he's excited.

(04:46):
I'm ready. OK, so don't let me stop you.
OK, this week we had a bunch of cool points of interest.
We got ourselves opponent Glyph in Kaido's possession, right
under Robin's nose. We got the big mob pirates
approaching Walnuts border, as well as the lavish political
happenings over at Orochi's mansion, which is apparently
guarded by ninjas. But who cares about any of that

(05:08):
shit? We got Power Rangers, Sanji, and
motherfucking dinosaurs on deck.These episodes were for the
boys. Espionage, fisticuffs, and giant
lizards. That's Trish's favorite episode
so far. He told me himself.
Man, I'm so excited I can't eventhink showing up to relate any
more. Concise facts to summarize for
y'all. You'll just have to listen to
his ramble to get to the rest ofthe details, all right?

(05:32):
Motherfucking man. Where's Devin?
Where's Devin for the dinosaur height?
I know it's unfortunate that Devin is not here for this one.
I bet he would have liked it. My man's actually at work and
it's a fucking tragedy. Motherfucker.
Dinosaurs. Baby Motherfucker.
Damn. Source.
We got Allosaurus, Spinosaurus. Dino Rangers.

(05:54):
Absolutely, man. I, I mean, we'll get to it, but
Christian, let me tell you, I was not a manga reader for a
long time when these episodes are coming out, I did not read
this section in in manga form. I I started picking it up like a
little bit down the road to catch up with the hype of
chapter 1000 when it was coming out many years ago.
And man, watching this episode for the first time, not having

(06:17):
watched whole cake island, asking myself, what the fuck is
this can he just pulled out of his robe and then he gets a
motherfuking Sailor Moon transformation sequence.
I was like, what the we got Power Rangers and what piece is
awesome. Then someone has to explain to
me, whoa, whole cake Island lore.
And I was like, yeah, I don't give any.
I don't give somebody I got. I love I love that because you

(06:42):
skipped whole cake. This is your first interaction
with the with the raid suits forfor Germa.
That's incredible. So you just why does why does
motherfucker Sanji? He just loved cooking so much.
You pull out a can of soup in the middle of this fight.
What's going on here? You gotta stir up some soba soup
to this man's face and then it'sa small fucking raid suit a

(07:03):
while. It was a good time to be a One
Piece fan. I mean, it sounds like it was a
good time to be Jew specifically.
You know, some people would disagree.
I would not. Yeah, I think you got a very
unique kick out of that. Yes, I did.
It was good time. I need to know you.
I need to hear your thoughts. Man, I'm so excited to hear
about your hopefully equal levelof excitement.

(07:24):
I really enjoyed these episodes,I won't lie.
Extra dinosaur hype. Yeah, we got a return from Diaz
Drake. Is this the first time we're
seeing his halfway form too By the?
Way that I can't remember, yeah.I think that's true too.
So that was sick. And then seeing page one, which
dumb fucking name, by the way, Ijust got to put that out there.

(07:45):
OK, no. Page 1 as a name, kind of
whatever. I I don't really blink at it.
Having your name tattooed on your chest, That's dumb.
Have your name tattooed across your chest is already dumb, but
when your name is page one it's like extra dumb.
Yes, that that is true. Who the fuck cares?

(08:05):
Who the fuck cares? I'd almost rather be the idiot
from the movie I, I can't remember the name all in my
rage. Would that just got no rag rats
across his neck, across his collarbone.
That guy, that guy's a legend. A legend's one.
We're the Millers. That's what it is.
A legend's one word for it. That man's a social icon.
Page one Social. Pariah Yeah yeah, yeah.

(08:27):
I I don't know if I'd almost rather have that instead of my
own dumb name tattooed across mychest anyway.
Spinosaurus rat as fuck. Seeing that dude King become a
fiery fucking Pteranodon. I can't leave, almost forgot
sick. So fucking sick, like fucking
Mothra almost just on fire winged creature just through

(08:51):
disguise. How the bondage leather sticks
on and stretches in all those ways couldn't tell you.
Who cares? Who cares baby?
That motherfucker is a flying dragon dinosaur thing and I'm
living. And he got rid of Big Mom.
And he fucking punted Big Mom's stupid family ass off the

(09:13):
waterfall. Fucking round of applause for
King. King shit.
For real, dude, I swear on me, mom.
Yeah, that shit. Awesome.
Give me all of the dinosaurs, please and thank you.
Now, I will say I'm also absolutely here for Power Ranger
Sanji I I'm happy that we're seeing something out of it.

(09:36):
It is. I'm not thrilled that the fight
was like rather short and we really just saw him do a bunch
of kicks, but the whole point was basically to get out of
there, get the fuck out of dodgein the 1st place.
So you know what, fine, I'm I'm OK with it.
We did the thing where we just wanted to get away.
However, maybe we put the suit on first before we get to the

(09:59):
scene because Page 1, he got there and went, hey, I'm the
soba cook. And they went, oh, great.
You're literally the guy I was looking for.
And then Sanji went, yeah, I'm going to actually, I'm going to
transform now that I'm here so that nobody knows my identity.
Like, I know they don't technically know you're Sanji
yet, but maybe do the transformation thing first and

(10:21):
not even let them know that the soba cook they were looking for
is on the scene. Like, we can take this a step
further and make this even more secure, guys.
But worst of all, worse than Sanji, is that Law, Usop, and
Frankie are standing right there.
They're standing there watching the whole thing go down.

(10:41):
We know who Law is. I'm sure Page One knows who Law
is. Like God, there's no way he
doesn't know. Frankie and Usop, sure, they're
whatever is on the Straw Hat crew.
They're not as notorious as the Big Three or anyone else in the
Worst Generation. But Law?
Come on now. I'm starting to see why you like
Law so much though. Bro, what's not to love?
A lot of things, but he was standing there narrating all of

(11:05):
Sanji's powers like the Super fanboy he is of the what was the
superhero's name of Sora, right?Sora something, I don't remember
if he had like a epithet or something like that.
Yeah, there's sort of extra thing there, but I don't
remember what it was like the Super fans of the Sora comics
where they fight Germa and all of that.
Just fanboying over, seeing it in person and he's like, you're

(11:28):
not, it is. It's stealth black.
The third member of Germa 66, you're stealth black and then
he's just standing there while he's going to use that move just
the whole time. That's law for the entire
episode. He's like, do the thing, do the
thing, do the thing, do the thing.
He's going to do the thing. Guys, I sort of guy, he's going.

(11:49):
To do the thing now he's going to do this.
If he doesn't do the thing, he'sa fraud.
They have accelerators in their heels.
He's not called Stealth Black for no reason.
He's going to go in invisible and then Sanji goes invisible

(12:12):
and then Sanji goes invisible inexplicably, like has no idea
how he even did it either. He just he just shows back up.
In reality it goes how the fuck what just happened?
It's great. If anyone ever wanted to know
what I look like or sound like whenever I am engaged in one of
my super niche interests, most likely wrestling, this is it.

(12:33):
This is me. Pull up a clip of Law talking
about stealth black. Or really, it's that other guy
from Capone's crew who was into the comics that's probably more
accurate with the long tongue. No, not Gotti.
Long tongue guy, was it Gaudi? No, that's not him.
No, he had a different name. Big ass hands, I don't remember.

(12:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the. Fuck is her name.
Guy big hands, Guy I. Remember the name Gaudi, but I
don't think that was him. Vinny was like start with AV.
Vito. That was his name.
Vito. And it was not Gaudi got.
It was a different guy in the crew that I remember.
Yeah, Vito. That's more like you.
Law was very calm in his demeanor ultimately.

(13:14):
Wait, wait. Wait, what the fuck?
His descriptions of it, I think if you were talking about
wrestling to someone and you were really letting yourself get
into it, you're you're a veto for sure.
I don't know if I should be offended or not.
I feel like I've been slighted. I don't feel like you're
slighted. I think you're I think you're
much more enthusiastic about it than law is.
I don't think law does you justice.

(13:34):
I think veto does you justice inthe the level of interest you
show I. Feel like Law is mostly just
like in a state of shock. He's like Oh my fucking God.
It's like if I saw my favorite wrestler in person like 5 inches
away from me. I like, I don't know, ShopRite
or something. That's probably true, yeah.
Yeah, like, surely it's just law.

(13:54):
Like not necessarily holding himself back, but he's like damn
near stunlock. Yeah, Vito is you.
When you're talking to your friends about wrestling, you get
into the the 40 year lore of it and laws.
If you saw John Cena just out and about in public one day,
well, actually you wouldn't see him because you can't see him.
But so I picked like literally the worst wrestler to make that

(14:17):
reference to, but OK. But real talk on the subject,
John Cena, which is so not relevant right now, John Cena is
allegedly retiring soon. He's got like, you know, his
last scheduled days. He just had his last weekly
television appearance, allegedly, if I understand
correctly. So allegedly by 2026, he's done
so. And so I'm just asking myself,
once John Cena retires, can we finally see him?

(14:39):
Does like the magic just disappear?
I don't know. We'll have to find out, I guess.
I guess we'll find out. Honestly, I thought he was done
with wrestling. I thought he had fully moved
into his acting career at this point, but.
He did and then he came back. I mean he always comes back.
They always come back. No wrestler ever actually
fucking retires. Don't ever believe them.
They will always come back because they'll probably spend
all their fucking money and go broke and they're like damn,

(15:03):
those royalty fees from this company I worked for for 20 plus
years and cutting it and you guys got a job for me.
You guys need a new heel. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Literally John Cena though, so yeah, I mean John Cena also has
or had. No he he definitely has like
1,000,000 and millions of fucking dollars from.
Absolutely. Fucking the Peacemaker show plus
all his movies that they don't even need to be good.
They he's just John Cena. They'll just pay him money.

(15:25):
So he might stay retired. He might be the only wrestler
I'll actually believe. Tell me I'm retiring and I'm
keeping it that way even though he'll probably be the ones who
most likely prove me fucking wrong.
But all right, we'll jump back alittle bit here, maybe start at
the beginning of 923. Since we've skipped around a
little bit, we we kind of cut, we kind of cut right to the to,
to the dessert of this of these episodes.

(15:47):
Let's roll it back here a littlebit.
We got a couple other things. With the second is there we got
Zorro on screen baby we. Did we did get Zorro on screen
walking around with that dude whose name I can't remember.
Yasu. Yasu, were you on last last
week's episode? No, I was not, Sir.
Which is mildly a shame. No, you weren't.
OK, I mentioned this in last week's episode, but ultimately I

(16:10):
was thrown off because Devin said maybe it was otherwise.
But Yasu is voiced by Wapples VAand I heard it immediately and
then I brought it up on the podcast and he was like, it
sounded more like Foxy to me. And I went, man, well, I'm not,
I'm not going to look at the episode.
I'm not going to listen to the episode mid podcast.
So I'll just have to go do this afterward.

(16:31):
Don't worry, I will. No, I already checked it.
Oh, it's confirmed. Oh well, shit, I looked it up
again. I didn't even go to the
episodes. I looked up Waffle Virginia and
then that guy's Virginia and they were the same person, so.
Got it. I have not noticed and I'm
afraid to listen to next week's set of episodes.
For anyone that was yelling at me and or Devin last week, I got

(16:52):
it. I cleared it up.
I probably heard about it from somebody in the discord by now,
but whatever man, I got it. These ears don't lie.
They hear waffle from a four mile away.
I know my sleep paralysis even sounds like you can't fool me.
I fucking know what my sleep paralysis even sounds like.
Fuck you, Devin. You'll never listen to this
episode, but I'll tell you next week when you're hopefully back

(17:13):
on. He lied as easily as he
breathed. I'm not going to remember to do
that. But yeah, so we got, we got, we
got Zorro walking around with Yasu into Little Ebb Sioux
Village, where everyone is very happy go lucky.
And they just like having a grand old time.
They don't let a little bit of poverty get them down.
They're here to they're alive. If you're alive, you can be

(17:36):
laughing instead. Brother couldn't be me.
Those people are so much stronger.
I am beaten down by by the handsof poverty every day.
By the hands of big capitalism, Yeah.
I mean, it's it's it's a nice little town.
There was that moment to. That happens a little bit later
when we cut back to it, where the little girl hands Zorro the

(17:57):
couple water. And because they finally got
good clean water and courtesy ofmoney that was given to them by
a Robin Hood hood like figure whose name I did not write down.
Do you know that guy's name? Ushi Mitsukozo.
Ushi Mitsukozo. Is the name of the Robin Hood
guy. Yeah, so he he's a get from the

(18:20):
rich, give to the poor. My hero.
There goes my hero. He's all in every.
Watch him as he go. So he's a local.
Robin Hood gave him a bunch of money.
They use it to buy stuff that they need, including clean
water. And the little girl giving up
giving Zorro the water was so cute.

(18:41):
It was cute. I thought Zorro was going to try
harder to just be like, no, I'm good, you guys, you guys need
that water. I can drink the contaminated
shit. But then he took it and he drank
it, and everyone was cheering and happy and laughing even
harder. And it was a nice little, It was
a nice soul scene. I'm still wondering what exactly
we're going to get out of this. It seems like this is just going
to be a random rendezvous point because at the end of these
episodes, Law, Usopp and Frankieare heading to Ebisu Village

(19:06):
just kind of inexplicably, it just I guess is the closest
village that Law knows of that they might be safe at.
So they're just going to randomly run into Zorro, chill
in here, and we'll see if maybe there's something more to this
village then meets the eye. But for now, it's just a little
village of laughing people having an, you know, laughing in
the face of poverty, basically. Hell yeah, good on them not

(19:30):
letting life beat them down too hard.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, it couldn't be me
either, for the record. Like, I know I would not be so
jolly if faced with that level of abject horror that is living
in the land of Wano and not having money.
That's crazy. It does make me wonder kind of,
if that other little girl who isthe attendant to Kumarusaki.

(19:51):
Yes, Otoko. Yes, Otoko.
It makes me wonder if Otoko is someone from that village also
because she was also very laughyhappy.
Be go lucky, always smiling. Surely even.
When she was sad, she was smiling and it was like mildly
off putting, but she was adorable.
Actually, while we're Speaking of Otoko, is there anything
pressing for you from last week that you feel like you need to

(20:14):
get off your chest? Fuck the world government.
CP 9 in cahoots. 0. Right.
CP0IN cahoots with Orochi because they're like, hey, our
preferred buyer went out of business and now you're the only
one in town, so we have to come to you.
And Orochi's like, yes, I see. Since you can't go anywhere
else, I want $1 billion. And also to meet the famous

(20:37):
Doctor Vega punk. They're like, you got to fucking
shit me. This is the guy we got to deal
with, this clown. Yeah, opinions on Komodosaki?
You know, so far seems like a woman from hell in the way she
just absolutely mistreated that poor guy financially.
Just stripped him of his life. Poor guy.
I mean, he's a Cold Stone murderer.

(20:57):
He was a murderer. I remember that guy.
OK, OK, buddy. I remember him being like an
idiot who was like damn I reallywant to free this woman so I can
marry her. No, he was like taking people's
money and raising their houses to the ground when they didn't
pay him. He's like, he's a bandit guy.
He's killing people, taking their money, burning houses to

(21:19):
the ground. I did not remember this in this
way. All right?
The fuck this guy. You know, shots with Komorasaki.
I'm sorry I ever slandered her name.
Now I can finally say it. She's hot, all right?
Komorasaki hot. I'm glad to say it with pride.
All right, well, hold on. Let's not, let's not flip too
hard. Also more importantly, I just
love that she plays with shamisen.
That is so like pleasant to heara rochi silhouette in both

(21:40):
forms. Well, we saw his face and then,
you know, his other faces or head whenever his body.
Oh, you mean when he went dragonform?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or sort of went dragon form.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Komarosaki did.
Oh, no, sorry. Brandon gave us another little
tidbit about the guy whose name I think was bingo.
Yeah, there's a moment in those episodes where his wife just

(22:02):
says that she's going to leave him because he's getting all rid
of all of his money and giving it to Komarosaki.
In the manga, apparently, he just straight up sells her off.
What? For money?
What? Yeah, she doesn't leave.
He just literally sells are off and maybe his kids too or I
don't know. Yeah, so Kawasaki not a good

(22:26):
person. However, that guy totally
fucking deserved to get screwed over like that.
I don't know what to feel anymore.
I won't harp on it because we talked about it last week, but.
The Juice Boy is emotionally conflicted.
Yeah, and also of the three of us, me, Brendan and Devin, who

(22:47):
do you think was the most sympathetic to Komarusaki?
Dari. Well, I guess the answer is not
me. Well, I'm talking about the
people who talked about her lastweek.
I couldn't even imagine. OK, it's not you.
I don't think you would red herring me this hard.
I'm going to say Devin because Ican't believe Brendan would do

(23:08):
it even for the bit. You are correct.
It is Devin. Holy shit.
He agreed that Bingo obviously deserved to get fucked over.
However, he was he was not readily able to call her an evil
person just because of this. He was like, well, we don't know
her back story, you know, like, why?

(23:30):
Like, how did she get to this point?
Why is she doing this? You know, I want to know more
about why she's doing it. And I was like, I honestly can't
believe what I'm hearing right now that you, this is the the
route that we're going. Maybe a part of Devon sees
something inside Kormorasaki. Maybe Devon 2 has financially
ruined a man by seducing him. They.

(23:51):
Came out with a Devon 2. I guess so.
Just had Devon 2 dumb joke skipping over that.
I have no doubts that we'll probably get some kind of sob
story about Kumarasaki and how she ended up in this position of
power as an oyron and all of that.

(24:11):
But so I'm you know, I'm not going to completely write her
off. But right now, for what I know
she's pretty fucked up. She a pretty fucked up person,
you know, because I'm sure she'sdone this to people who didn't
necessarily deserve it. Maybe she did.
Maybe she's the the Robin Hood of courtesans.
Maybe she's only fucking over the guys that she knows they're

(24:33):
pieces of shit and deserve it, but that remains yet to be seen.
Did Brendan ever explain what Kamarasaki's like position is
exactly? Because I'm not certain I fully
understand it myself. She's basically the most
considered, the most beautiful and desirable of all the
courtesans, which which gives her her own title of Oya ROM.

(24:55):
And then it more or less allows her a certain degree of power
within the brothel or, you know,house that she sold off to or
works in where she can choose clients.
She can refuse certain clients if she doesn't want to engage
with them or whatever. So basically she's the top of

(25:16):
the food chain for the hired women workers, courtesans there.
I see, I see. Because in my head, I'm just
here like, so is she just like aprostitute?
And like, well, yes, OK, that's what Cortisons are.
Cortisons are they're prostitutes.
My brother was like, OK, maybe Ifeel a little bad for her
because she's a prostitute and, you know, she got a hustle to
like, you know, survive. So, you know, fuck bingo.

(25:37):
And maybe I mean, 1 he did deserve it.
And you know, maybe, maybe Kubrasaki not so much a bad guy,
you know, bad gal maybe, maybe bad gal don't mean she a bad
gal, you know? Right, right, right no, yes I
that is a that that is a courtesan house, that's a
prostitute house and all the women in there are for hire for
sex work you. Know Toko was just presumably

(25:58):
bought to be her assistant, but like, I don't know, I always
interpreted as like, hey assistant, you're like my
trainee. I don't know what that's about.
All we know is that she's the handmaiden or whatever to Koma
or SoC. I don't think we got anything
about her. It's probably safe to assume
that she was sold into that position, but yeah, yeah,
otherwise we have no idea. I saw a red light district Arkan

(26:19):
demon Slayer. I know things.
I learned much about Japanese red light district culture.
But you still asked me if they were prostitutes like you were
like, I'm not really sure. Listen, I need I need a
confirmation, right? Demon Slayer wasn't enough for
you, huh? Being trust in your knowledge
it. Wasn't on the nose enough.
Too many demons. Too many demons.

(26:42):
All right, so yeah, we met, we saw Zorro, we saw Oka Bori town,
which surely is just a one off instance.
Nothing will happen here. I know we just said long company
or meeting here with them. Probably probably not an
important town. We're just going to keep moving
on. You know Oka Bori Town who who
never heard of them? This is Ebisu village.
Oka Bori is the other one right where Kenny moans wife is.

(27:04):
Ah yes, okay it is and I quote poverty stricken like Oka Bori
town. Oh yeah, yes, completely.
But this, then this one. People have a will to live,
apparently. Yeah, we laugh this one off.
Oh yeah. So then we have scenes from the
palace where Orochi is throwing this big ass banquet now and you

(27:27):
know, it really just seems like an average day until Orochi
goes, you know what fucking we're throwing a party.
Guys like get the girls, get thefood.
Hey Kyoshiro, get your boys in here.
And then it just becomes a wholeraucous afternoon, evening and
night. I mean, realistically, the, the
only purpose this kind of servesis to be a way for Robin to get

(27:51):
in. You know, Otherwise, at this
moment, we haven't, we haven't learned too much with what's
going on here. Komarosaki does show up, sits
next to Orochi, fawns his ego and all that good stuff.
Initially when all of the other geishas walk in and he
specifically it notices Robin. I was like if you fucking one

(28:11):
hair on Robbins head I'm coming for you myself.
But however, Robbins got bigger problems now because she sneaks
off and she gets caught by the Imperial ninja squad, which the
whole fucking gang rolled up on her.
By the way, there's like eight of these ninjas, all looking
pretty cool, all look pretty dope in their individual

(28:32):
outfits, very stylized. I like it.
I thought at first maybe that the one guy was going to be an
ally. She just wasn't expecting.
And then the whole fucking wholecrew rolled up and, and then we
got the epitaphs of them being Orochi's ninja force.
And I went, ah, fuck, just let Robin Snoop around a little guy.
She's not hurt nobody. She's just here just to look for

(28:56):
some Pong glyphs, man. That's all she wants.
She's just a geisha lady who gotlost bro, nothing to see here.
That's it man, she just needed to use the restroom, a little
geisha's room and that's it. Oh, and Brooke also found
something too. Either a whole ass didn't.
He find the pony glyph itself. I mean, he says pony glyph, so
presumably that means he found apony glyph.

(29:16):
It could also be maybe a room where they make pony glyphs and
there's like an incomplete once in there or something like that.
We're about to get the fattest red herring where Brooke says
the word pony glyph. Go in there.
Oh, it's not actually a pony glyph.
It just looked like 1, I swear. Not sure what we would replace
it with in this instance, but you know, that's for all to
figure out I guess. And then a.
Picture of a poem. Glyph No, don't do this.

(29:39):
Don't. I love Brooke just sticking him
his body down the bottom of wellto to go ghost mode.
What else we got to Oh, tell us more about the Big Mom Pirates
happening over here. All right, so they were making
surprising amount of progress going up this waterfall,
fighting off, you know, the Beast Pirates and what have you.
Queen was there like on a ship, I believe No.

(30:01):
What was Queen doing? I know he had surveillance.
I don't remember if he was like out on any of the ships.
Queen, one of the other guys on Kaido's crew, yeah, I think he
was still. One of the big, literally bigger
people. I think he's still in
headquarters or something. OK so Queen was just somehow on
on cams. He's on comms.
Yeah, he was on comms trying to pass a play like Coach and Big

(30:22):
Mom just, you know, I think she has made him obsolete through
one meeting or another. So King was like, man, what the
fuck you guys doing? This should be easy peasy
because I got to take care of the shit myself.
And then he fucking does. All he does is just fucking fly
around the speed of sound with his fucking fire dactyl wings,
which, listen, I don't know anything about fucking pterodons
or or anything like that. I don't know fuck all about

(30:43):
dinosaurs. But why does my man one just
randomly catch on fire and two seemingly have fucking jetpack
boosters? Like it seems like he has
thrusters when he's flying and it's kind of funny but also
leaves me with a lot of questions.
Well, I let me let me assuage some of your fears here.
I can assure you, at no point inhistory did Pteranodon be able

(31:04):
to be on fire. I thought you're about to hit me
with the exact opposite. Well, in fact, Justin, let me
tell you. You know how scientists were
unsure if dinosaurs had feathersor not?
It's because it was fire. It was actually fire.
They were on fire. You know, prior to the the giant
comet that took doubt the dinosaurs, they actually had
early forms. Of internal combustion engine.

(31:26):
Yeah, yeah, Pteranodons. They were rocking a V6 engine in
the back. Back loaded V6.
You think they'd have one on each wing, but Nope, single
engine. It was kind of wild when
scientists figured it out. The evolution hadn't caught it
up yet. That's incredible.
Yeah, but King takes care of business.
Punts the Big Mom pirates into the sea.

(31:47):
Specifically straight into one of the whirlpools so I feel like
they're dunzo. I think the boat goes back over
the edge and Big Mom falls into the Whirlpool.
Yeah. So in my head there are dunzo
like Gigi no Reap. So I would certainly assume as
much for Big Mom, that's for sure.
Like she there will be a way shesurvives this obviously, but I

(32:11):
what it is, who knows. Would you like to speculate?
My assumption is that one of theother kids jumped off the ship
when we weren't looking and it'sgoing to somehow save her ass.
Damn, how many kids you got on that boat that don't have dough
Fruits. Not a lot if I remember
correctly, I think Brendan even went over this number where like

(32:32):
2/3 of them have devil fruits orsomething like that.
I don't remember specifically that's.
Incredible. Like 50 or 60 of them maybe, who
knows. The odds are not in her favor.
No, but maybe she doesn't need it.
Maybe some of them can save her from the surface.
I don't know, we're about to geta fucking bullshit flashback in
like 30 episodes. Where fucking Zeus just came in
clutch and saved her ass. I'll be.

(32:53):
Mad not anyone but Zeus though. Like come on, Zeus isn't even
nowhere. Shouldn't be anywhere near here.
Oh, right, Nami hasn't. You're right.
Yeah, forgot that part. Which, by the way, is he just
like stuffed in the clematoc? Where is he?
It's either the clematoc or someother alternative pocket
dimension that we can't explain.Is her cleavage.

(33:14):
No OK anywhere but there, man. Oh yeah, but it's One Piece, so
no. In the same volume that ODA has
some guy sell his family off formoney to give to a courtesan.
I'm sure he can. He can put Zeus between Nami's
breasts. Not like this bro, not like
this. You know noticeably who was

(33:35):
missing from the Big Mom pirate crew showing.
Her boy Katakuri. Katakuri was not present on the
deck of the ship, so I don't know.
What could this mean? Oh, no, maybe he's.
Maybe he was just taking a lunchbreak, maybe he was taking his
doughnut break in the quarter somewhere, but I don't know.

(33:56):
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't know what's going on.
Katakuri here. He finally turned face on on Big
Mom. Maybe that, but also mayhaps Big
Mom was like I'm leaving to go take care of business.
I need someone to man the Fort while I'm gone and I feel like
Katakuri would be like amongst the top considerations to watch

(34:17):
the house while she's gone. Sure she would.
Definitely. Assuming Katakuri hasn't turned
face, I would believe that that's just.
That's a plausible theory. Or what if we're both fright
where this is exactly what happens?
You know, she's like, oh, kind of Curry.
What? Watch the kids while I'm away?
He's like, yeah, sure thing, Mom.
And while she's gone, he turns face and whoever is left behind

(34:38):
on the island, like, he persuades them to turn their
backs on Big Mom. Yeah.
And so whenever Big Mom presumably returns back home to
Whole Cake Island, there's no home for her.
She's been overthrown. She's been coup d'etat.
It's a civil war. Oh my God.
But I don't know what arc of what Piece that is, but that's
how we run back. Luffy versus Big Mom.

(34:59):
I'm here for that outcome. I would love that.
I think we speculated on that a little bit too when we finished
Whole Cake Island. So I would I would be all over
that. Give me some of that action.
Hell yeah. Assuming Big Mom doesn't just
die here on Wano, she's not going to die in the Whirlpool.
But you know, I'll repeat with Luffy or her fighting the man

(35:20):
himself. Kaido, I don't know.
I don't know. We'll have to see.
I do want to see that fight. Big Mom versus Kaido, 2 fucking
Titans, Emperors of the Sea going at it.
I'd love to watch that. You know the two of them going
at full power. Big Mom do be having a nimbus
cloud. Used to had a nimbus cloud that

(35:42):
she was riding on Kaido Big Dragon.
I don't know, Sounds like some Wu Kong to me.
Sounds like Goku versus Shenron to me.
It all comes back. All comes back to Dragon Ball Z.
Everything somehow is a Sun Wukong reference.
This was like a nothing burger or like a nothing bit of of

(36:04):
knowledge dropped. But Eustis kid reveals that he
lost his arm in a fight with Shanks.
Yeah, or at least his pirate crew yeah.
I don't know if maybe him directly, I don't remember that
detail, but honestly he lost hishis arm to Shanks which is kind
of crazy. In what way?
I mean, like we understand Shanks to be this big head

(36:26):
honcho, serious powerful pirate and all that.
But aside from that moment wherelucky Roo just like gats a dude
when Luffy's a kid, I feel like we don't really get to see much,
you know, combat or like menacing nature from from Shanks
and even including the Paramountwar scene.

(36:47):
Like I don't know, this seems like shockingly brutal from
Shanks. Well, I I mean, maybe kid just
made fun of Shanks for having only one arm a little bit too
much and decided to even it out here to say how much.
How do you like it buddy? God.
Damn. Because.
It's the same arm. Oh shit, you're right.

(37:07):
Although I think Shanks is missing his entire left arm and
kid has half of it still. I think he's cut off at the
elbow. Potato.
Potato. Yeah.
I mean, still can't hold a swordor anything.
Caribou out here spreading the false information about how he
tried to fight Big Mom and lost his arm fighting Big Mom before
a kid even shows up on screen. I go I know that's not true

(37:31):
because we haven't known kid with that arm even right?
Because he didn't have that arm either pre time skip right?
No, he did. He did for a long time.
I thought that too. And recently I've been watching
like like Sapodi and other like old clips.
He has both arms when we first meet him.
All right, It's like almost. Unnerving.
I stand corrected. I thought he was missing that

(37:52):
arm pre time skip too. All right, well now Ryan, that
half of the argument goes out the window.
I thought he had tried to take on the Red Hair Pirates a couple
years ago but I I guess it was within the time of the time skip
so OK. Well either way, I wonder what
he was doing fucking around withShanks.
Man, what a fucking timeline to be had.
You know, two years. You're probably becoming like a

(38:13):
a pretty big deal on the high seas as a supernova.
And then you get your cheeks busted and lose your arm to
fucking red hair Shanks. And then you just try to form an
alliance and fucking Kaido fallsfrom the sky and fucking
imprisons you. Yeah.
When you refuse to bend the knee, you just now have to work
for Dongo. Poor guy.
Yeah, I mean, he seems to be taking it pretty well.
He's not anger or anything at all.

(38:35):
So. But yeah, that that was that was
something that stuck out to me do.
You think they're going to team up to get out of there?
You know, I'm I'm becoming more invested in Nami's like pseudo
ninja training arc because everytime she pops up mostly with
Shinobu, she just gets a little bit more ninja esque.
She you know, she has a kite now.
She might, she might get some shuriken at some point, might
have a smokescreen. I don't know man.

(38:56):
I mean that would be cool. I'm here for it.
I'm here for Ninja Nami arc. I'd like to see her utilize ties
more tools besides the clean with hawked.
She did also almost blow off of the roof though.
Wow. A slightly stronger wind came by
and almost knocked her completely off.
Could it be helped? Shinobu had to with perfect
mature woman form mature woman breathing form #5.

(39:21):
Face the wind. Yeah, that's cool.
But yeah, that's that's all the little other tiny stuff from
this week. Do you?
Think they're going to help Robin get out of her situation
now? Robin got this bro.
I would really actually hate if Robin just got captured here
because I'm tired of. Been there, done that, don't

(39:44):
want it to happen again. Just like just so many goddamn
times, dude, with with this stuff, like I don't I'm tired of
like anybody on the crew there. There's always something where
some it's it's they over index on the women, obviously, because
that's just what happens and it's fucking annoying.
But so it would be baseline annoying if it happens to to

(40:06):
Robin, but also just in general like they're always every arc
there's. A couple of them that just get
incapacitated for no fucking reason other than to make the
plot harder for the crew. And I'm just, I'm just tired of
it, honestly. Like there's certain things that
change over the course of arcs and there are some things that
are used ad nauseam and I'm tired of it.

(40:28):
And this is one of those things.So I like really hope that this
doesn't just end with Robin getting captured and we got to
go save her somehow because I don't want to see it.
I'm done with it. I don't I don't I don't want it.
Just let them do things, let them fight, but don't have these
like Princess stuck in a castle moments where we have to just go
save them, whether it's a straw hat or even somebody else in the
crew, you know, like or or I shouldn't say crew.

(40:51):
I mean just another character inthe arc.
Just we don't need to have this search and rescue save the
Princess thing. I don't we don't need it.
We can come up with more interesting ways to tell the
story. ODA.
So I I do hope because Shinobu and Nami are there that they
can, and Brooke for that matter,they can help her get out of

(41:12):
this situation somehow. Now she got this bro she butts
A1V6 so good. That would be cool too.
Yeah. I want more Robin combat scenes.
That's one thing we've been severely lacking and that I know
people have complained about tooin the community as well.
So I'm I hope that we get that. That would be sick.
That would dig that for sure. But with that all the way, we
got motherfucking dinosaurs and Power Rangers Sanji.

(41:35):
Yeah, all the way back now to the point where Sanji confronts
page one as Stealth Black. It's great.
I mean, I'm a little worried about him having the power of
invisibility, but other than that everything's great.
Me fucking too, brother, Me fucking too.
They they brought it up in theseepisodes and boy was I not happy

(41:59):
about it. No good can come of that
exactly. I was given a smidgen of hope
when they had the scene of little Sanji being like, I want
the power of invisibility. And I was like, oh, OK, this is
like a slightly more wholesome thing.
And then present day Sanji, whenI've got the power and
visibility, now I can go to women's bath.

(42:22):
I'll use it to save my friends. But it was still the first thing
he thought about. Yeah.
I don't care if he's if he got to the part where he's going to
use to save his friend. Yeah, going to women's bath
houses was still the first thinghe thought of.
Yeah. So while I enjoyed Power Rangers
Sanji fighting a dinosaur, I didn't enjoy that part.

(42:45):
That part, fuck that. I was having a good time
ignoring the part where I don't generally like Sanji's
personality and character for a while and just enjoying the cool
man in the in in the suit fighting a dinosaur.
And then they brought that part back.
And I was like, for five seconds, I had suspended this
part that I knew I already didn't like about this guy.

(43:06):
And then we made it a forefront of it again.
And we were reminded you of thisthing.
And I was like, God, we were close.
We were close. I could have ignored it the
whole episode. I wouldn't have even thought
about it anymore. I wouldn't even have brought it
up on this podcast if they hadn't pointed it out.
You hate to see it. But here we are in the bad
timeline. I mean, I think we're at the

(43:28):
turning point of the bad timeline.
We're at the fork in the road where Sandy has to make a
decision, probably really soon, but he has time to not
disappoint us. I feel like I'm well past that
part. If that is the case for you then
by all means hold out hope, but I am expecting to be reminded of
this a bunch more. I I have nothing left in this

(43:52):
life except opium. I wish you well, brother, in
your endeavor. All right?
That being said, we've covered with the hype for Dinosaur and
Power Rangers. Sanji, is there anything else
that you want to contribute herebefore we move on?
Brought the budget on the transformation sequence.
It was good. It can't be complimented enough.
It was so good. It was a good transformation

(44:12):
sequence. Also, I was in a little bit in a
rush when I was watching that episode, so I watched it at 1.5
speed. So my second viewing of the
transformation scene is a bit tainted by that.
However, due to the increased speed, things can get a little
discombobulated in terms of my perception of things.
There could have been potentially some Sanji bulge.
So, you know, shout out to everyall the Sanji fans out there.

(44:33):
We're having a good day. So seeing it faster meant you
noticed, you think you saw more.Yeah, it was like, you know, you
just, it was going like your woman was like, whoa, was that
Sanji's bulge was just crazy. OK, was.
Was that bulge flashing before my eyes?
I hope not, but sure. I'm glad you like the
transformation because probably going to see a lot of it from

(44:55):
now on, no? I don't think so, it's going to
be like Power Rangers, the actual show where they put all
the budget into like a full likeproper transformation sequence
effort once and then every othertime they are fast forwarding
through it, if not just cutting entirely.
They just go blank coolies in costume.
Well. I don't know.
I mean, with Jarba back in WholeCake, they they did it almost

(45:16):
every time. It was like 3 times.
It was only like 3 times but they did it.
OK, you have a point. However, I remain skeptical, no?
No. All right, I'm going to move us
on now to Gabe's Fun Facts. There's no Brendan here this

(45:38):
week to read them, so I'm stepping up to the job.
All right. Hello.
This is Gabriel speaking to you from a crowded restaurant.
Food's pretty good, though I could do without the head cooked
breaking in the song whenever a woman entered as the
establishment. I like Queen as much as the next
guy, but if he starts again, I might become the guy singing

(46:00):
that I just killed a man. Anyways, Dinosaurs.
We love dinosaurs. What about some?
How about some facts about the Spinosaurus?
Not. Expected OK, the Spinosaurus was
a rather tall dinosaur that roamed the land masses that
would turn into North Africa during the Late Cretaceous

(46:20):
Period. In terms of height, he measured
a whopping 50 feet in length andabout 15 feet in height,
including the spinal tail. This makes the Spinosaurus one
of the largest theropod dinosaurs to have ever lived,
slightly surpassing even the mighty T Rex in length and
height if you include a spinal sail.
Imagine seeing that thing out your window when you wake up.

(46:41):
First fossils of the Spinosauruswere discovered by German
archaeologists. All This is why in Egypt in
1912, but were unfortunately destroyed during an Allied
bombing round during World War 2.
No, you hate to see it. War.
War never changes. War ruins everything.
Modern depictions of its skeletal structure thus

(47:02):
unfortunately mostly have to rely on a cast that was made of
that ancient specimen, since additional full Spinosaurus
fossils have sadly been rather scarce.
Finally, Spinosaurus was actually one of the few
dinosaurs that had the ability to swim.
In 2014. Scientists concluded, based on

(47:22):
the position on on on its nostrils, the dinosaurs small
pelvis and short hind legs, as well as various other anatomical
factors, that the Spinosaurus most likely lived a semi aquatic
lifestyle, living on land and onwater.
While other dinosaurs have been theorized to have this ability,
the Spinosaurus presents the single strongest case for its

(47:43):
ability to swim among all of them.
Relating this back to one I. Want to take a break here
because I appreciate these fun facts about the Spinosaurus.
Because what I understand that generally, all depictions of
dinosaurs that we see in media generally depict them as like
large creatures. You know, unless you like a
Raptor or like something that's been understood to be small
because Page 1 was fucking huge this week.

(48:05):
Yeah, Motherford was towering over buildings, walking through
the fucking city like his Godzilla.
The entire time I was like, why are you so big?
Oh yeah, no, yeah, Spinosaurus was they, they rivaled T Rex in
size. They were massive, that.
Was breezy. I don't know how much crossover
there was with them living at the same time.
I think it was true that they did live at the same time, but

(48:26):
I'm not sure if they inhabited alot of the same environments and
were direct competitors or at all.
In my monster after game they were.
I mean, yeah, that's true. Relating this back to One Piece,
this actually makes the dragon dragon fruit modeled
Spinosaurus, the second devil fruit that turns you into an
animal with the ability to swim,despite devil fruits not

(48:47):
allowing you to swim by their very nature.
I wonder if that actually, I have a feeling that wouldn't
actually work out. I don't know.
I, I do wonder because then Gabe, I'll, I'll read this here.
The first example of such a fruit was the Sala Sala fruit
model Axolotl back in Punk Hazard.
But we don't even really know ifthat's true either.
Like they're just, they're aquatic animals by nature, but

(49:10):
we don't know if that actually allows them to swim despite
having devil fruits. If anything, to me it just says
that the same thing would happento them as with Fishman, where
they can breathe under the water, but they won't be able to
move. Maybe that's my assumption.
Much to think about. I hope we do see it.
That would be interesting to seeif they have page one actually

(49:30):
go into water and gauge that dynamic in some way.
Thank God that thing didn't havea conscious referring to the
axolotl back in Punk Hazard. What was his name?
Justin Smiley. Smiley, baby.
Justice for Smiley. Justice for Smiley.
Thank God that thing didn't havea conscious, otherwise it
probably would have been fuckingpissed.
Moving on the fruit juicer, though, there's surprisingly

(49:51):
little to say. Page one, whose name is 1, once
again based on a playing card game, is 20 years old, making
him the youngest member of the Toby Ropo.
As per his Viva card, his favorite fruit is nachos and his
hobby is listed as fishing alone.
Interesting. Pretty show guy.
Apparently. His bounty, which is exclusively
revealed on the Viva card, is 290 million berries, putting in

(50:12):
between Fisher Tiger at 230 million and Morley at 293
million. Here's a little teaser for you.
This is actually the lowest bounty among the members of the
Toby Ropo. Make of that what you will.
No wonder we got dealt with by Sanji so easily.
I mean, shit, he. Didn't even really get dealt
with. He was fine at the end of that.

(50:33):
Man he was getting his ass beater.
Right, I don't know what card game Page 1 is based off of.
Can you try and find that? Okay.
The others, like Jack King and Queen, like those are simple,
you know, they're they're literally based off of the
playing cards. But Page 1 I don't, I don't know
what the game is. Is this real?

(50:54):
All right, I want to. I want to do more a little bit
more investigating, but apparently it's a real game.
It's just called Page 1. Apparently.
Oh OK, I type Page 1 and there'stutorials on YouTube.
There's the dedicated websites and such.
Oh, all right, well, while you do that, I'm going to continue
on. Moving on, here's a couple facts
about the mysterious illustriousSoba mask.

(51:14):
While all the raid suits resemble the suits worn by
characters in Super Sentai shows, and Power Rangers by
extension, self blacks most closely resemble the powers of
the Black Ranger in the show Power Rangers Dino Thunder.
I have no familiarity with PowerRangers, so I leave the floor to
Justin for comments on this. Shout out to the legendary Tommy
Oliver slash Jason David Frank. Also, RIP Jason David Frank you

(51:38):
you were missed by the community.
RIP. RIP.
Was Dino Thunder one of your tops among Power Rangers?
It was pretty top tier. Dino Thunder came out when how
old was I? I was probably like middle
school age, give or take, maybe a little younger than that, but
it was in like a sequence of Power Rangers seasons that I

(51:58):
thought were pretty peak. So yeah, Power Rangers, Dino
Thunder back in the day. It was it was part of a pretty
hot streak of seasons for for American viewers where the
season prior you had Ninja Storm, which is bangin also
probably had one of the best intros ever.
Then you got Dino Thunder, whichwas another legendary season,
great opening banger, just overall cool season.

(52:18):
And then the season after was Power Rangers SPD, which was
pretty cool. I didn't personally like it that
much, although it's very well reviewed by the community.
And, you know, for a show that was clearly propaganda, it was
pretty good. They had a robot dog and then
their leader, like their their boss was just like a humanoid
dog. Yeah, who has samurai sword?

(52:38):
It was lit. Friend of the show Isaac was
telling me recently about SPD and that that dog boss guy was
like literally the best character in the show and
everyone loves him. Truly the best character.
Literally 1 V 100 upon his debut.
Excellent, good times, excellent.
Do not look up his Japanese rendition.
The prosthetics ain't it. Oh, the American series did it

(53:00):
so much better. The one time Americans do
something right. Actually though, Truly.
All right, ODA drew all of the Straw Hats in raid suits for a
color spread during the Whole Cake Island arc, and Gabriel has
very kindly produced a image of them for us here on his, on the
sheet here. And it's very cool.
Look at that jobber. Got a little tank.

(53:22):
Yeah. Kowalski, Zoom and Enhance.
Why is Luffy riding a tiger? Riding a Tiger Mac floaty thing.
OK, so for the audience at home,Luffy's riding a tiger in his
own, like a rate suit. The tiger doesn't seem to have
back legs so much as his legs have been replaced by like, a
motorcycle wheel. And then the front half of the
tiger has paws or hands, whatever you want to call them,

(53:45):
and they're holding what looks like a shuffleboard, you know,
and an ice shuffleboard. In the Olympics, they have like
that big stone thing that they have to slide across the ice and
then, you know, they have to getget it to the goal or what have
you. It's like the Tigers holding on
to two of those. And that's how he maneuvers
around. He just kind of glides.

(54:05):
Yeah, on this Rainbow Rd., they're.
They look like those, but they clearly have that hover
technology that the boots have. Oh, you're right.
You know, I didn't even notice that I didn't Scroll down fast
far enough. You're right.
They are also just hovering. Yeah, over the air.
It's. It's pretty sick.
But Chopper has his own little personal tank, which is kind of
cool. Choppers got a little tank.
Frankie's looking beefy as hell.Frankie looks like he's the main

(54:29):
villain of whatever this storyline.
Is it does kind of look like he's the village chasing after
them, it's true. I like whatever Robbins got
going on back there with that device she has.
I don't know if I call it a staff necessarily, but it's
something. Yeah, she said some kind of
spear thing going on with a witha black Cape.
Nami's looks like she's literally dressed in Ray Jews

(54:49):
equipment, which is kind of lamehonestly, but.
Just an orange. It just it's just orange.
Yeah. Brooke looking pretty sick
we're. Kind of saucy.
Bro, his fucking hair is on fire.
Probably because Sanji's on firebehind him, but you know,
whatever, I guess. And the pose.
It's the pose. Something about the grey uniform
with the black Cape and and everything.

(55:10):
My man's aura farming. Yeah, it's a Brooks super aura
farming right now. And who stops doing Kung Fu?
I'm not going to lie to you. Somehow Zorro looks kind of
Mitch here. He's doing a very basic pose,
you know, he's just standing there holding a sword behind his
head. He also looks a little bit too
much like Green G, you know, like that.
Dude, give him the hair and yeah, that's green G all the
way. It's like almost no discernible

(55:32):
difference aside from swords andthe scar on his eye.
Yeah, even the face. The face is evil, like green G
Yeah, it's. I don't, I don't like that.
Also I don't love Sanji and Blue.
Not here, at least. Sanji Blue here for some reason
was Blue G Blue G had blue hair.Never mind and gave notes to
hear. Sanju's outfit here is notably

(55:53):
different from his look as so amassed mostly because he
occupies the role of 5th Straw Hat instead of Third Vince Smoke
in this instance. Interestingly, Luffy's outfit
was actually unlockable costume in the game One Piece World
Seeker, though it provided no abilities beyond cosmetic
changes. Finally, let's cover some manga

(56:13):
to animate differences. Toy invented that entire
flashback that Law had about theSora comic.
The black suit is never actuallyshown in the manga, meaning that
the incongruity between the comic and Sanji's Raid suit is
anime exclusive. Wait I think I'm confused on
this. Does Sanji's raid suit look like
it does in this cover image? Just black?
Oh I guess the I guess the mangahas no color.

(56:35):
I understood this to mean the raid suit for Sanji never made
an appearance in the manga and therefore this is the first time
it was ever displayed. And that any potential lore that
lost bouts off is anime exclusive lore or mumbo jumbo.
OK. Which I believe that.
I don't see Odo dedicating any type of paneling to Law
fangirling in the back. Right well I think my hang up

(56:58):
was the look difference between what it looks like in here in
the manga and the anime. Like is that different or I
don't know But basically I'm confused about the line where he
goes stealth black suit is neveractually shown in the manga.
Is he talking about the manga one piece or like because then
he says meaning the incongruity between the comic and Sanji's
raid suit is anime exclusive. So I'm like, is he talking about

(57:19):
the way stealth black looks in? One Peace manga or Sora manga in
One Piece universe? Yeah, that's the weird
disconnect in my head. I'm not sure what it is because
I'm assuming it says black suit is never actually shown in the
manga, but I assume you know because we're I'm looking at it
on my anime screen right now that stealth Black was also

(57:41):
drawn in the manga like Sanji looks like he does in the anime
as he does in the manga. It's just the difference is in
the Sora manga or comic whatever, he doesn't look like
he does as he's drawn here and in the anime.
That's my assumption. OK so Gabe writes manga, comic
and anime distinctly yes. So I'm thinking in the One Piece

(58:03):
manga we never saw the suit and the suit only made an appearance
in the anime comic rendition andin the anime proper with Sanji's
are real. No, that can't be true.
What you're saying is Sanji doesn't use the suit ever in the
manga. That's what you're saying to me
right now. Oh.
OK sorry that's not that's not what I meant to imply.
Prior to this very moment in both anime and manga, we have

(58:25):
never seen the rate suit in the manga form of One Piece right?
There is no type of preview available.
So until he pops up in form likethey don't do the little
flashback thing from Law. OK, OK.
That is my understanding of the sentence.
OK, I think I've got it. We did it.
Sanji is never seen blocking anyof Page One's attacks, meaning

(58:46):
that the race suit's metallic Cape is also made-up by proxy.
All scenes that feature Luffy were also made-up.
Luffy never appeared once in anyof these chapters.
It also means that Luffy never actually heard about Tama being
all right from Rizo. During the scene where Kaido
listens to his subordinates for their status update on Big Mom,
the anime actually presents Kaido in a much calmer fashion.

(59:06):
While he remains completely composed in the anime, he
actually violently lashes out atthem in the manga upon hearing
their updates. Yes, he wasn't too big of a fan
of how long the Whole Cake Island Ark lasted.
Me neither. Kaido.
The anime shows many more Big Mom's children on the Queen Mama
charter their ship. Did we ever get that name?
I'm going to say no because I definitely thought the ship had

(59:27):
a different name. The Queen Mama Charter, I don't
remember there. I mean it might have happened
when we first saw the ship and it was talking and all that, but
I definitely I don't remember that at all.
These include amand, nasturt, dos March, snack, kaido, custard
Angel, and core starch. Additionally, the anime also
shows Broye, Compote and Tablet,who are only revealed to be

(59:49):
present later in the manga at a later point.
Don't worry, this won't be important.
Sanji leaving the battle scene at the end of the fight is also
made out by the anime. The manga never actually shows
the conclusion of their battle, leaving the results up in the
air. All right, interesting, what the
fuck? Given that the anime doesn't
adapt it as such, I'm sure you can imagine how important the
detail is the overall story. I wonder where it even stops.
Does he do the kick from? The atmosphere and then they

(01:00:12):
just don't ever come back to it.Maybe we don't even get a kid
from the atmosphere. Maybe they just, they're just
like, oh, he's fighting him anyway over in this part of the
island. Yeah, we just cut straight to
Ebisu where Law meets up with Zorro and all that.
Finally, and most importantly, in the scene where Big Mom
arrives, Kaido was wearing a shirt in the manga, while in the

(01:00:32):
anime he does it. God bless.
Toei didn't think they could do it.
Anyways, that's about all for this week.
This damn cook has broken out into song in so I think I know
what I is that a Spinosaurus? Jesus, I I got to start running.
I'll hopefully see you guys nextweek.

(01:00:53):
Have a nice day. Lucky.
Also, I couldn't imagine Kaido with a shirt on.
Yeah, I don't think, I don't think Kaido's got that dog in
him, honestly. He's got AI.
Don't think there's a shirt madebig enough for him.
No, I mean, I'm sure somebody has they got they got dressed as
big enough for Big Mom. So Kaido.
Seems. Bigger.
I mean, I think he is, but somebody out there clearly is
cornered. Actual giants have clothes by

(01:01:14):
the way, so like. All right, you know what?
Never mind. I'm talking to my ass here.
I think we make clothes for Kaido.
All right. What are we doing next week,
Justin? We're watching 926 to 928.
All righty then. Mood out of quotes.
Got anything for quotes? Law fangirling in the back.
Just just funny. Just good stuff.
Hold up. Seriously.

(01:01:37):
I recognize that outfit. That's the third member of the
Army of Evil Jamo 66 Stealth Black.
Also not a quote, but sounding transformation sequence.
Right, right. Very Devon ask of you.
I have two quotes, one of them is we've kind of already talked
about but I'll directly say it here.
It's Yasu in Ebisu village. Going crying won't fix poverty,

(01:02:00):
so why not laugh instead? Poverty can't steal our smile.
There's no news crying when we ain't dying.
Yeah, life is lousy. Laugh it off.
Too real. I like laughing through problems
too, as much as I can, but you know, we can do other things

(01:02:21):
that maybe fix poverty that aren't just laughing about it.
You know, although your situation is different.
So I'm, you know, I'm not going to you guys have to deal with
poison water. I don't have to deal with poison
water. That's for Flint, MI.
The second quote I've got is from Brookie boy.
When he's in that well, he he pops out can't resist the

(01:02:42):
opportunity to tell a skull joke.
He goes, it's only vain to tell a skull joke to myself, and in
that moment they don't point it out.
But I feel like they missed an opportunity with, you know, I'm
sure it wasn't the original intention.
This is a very translation thing, using the word vain.
No flesh to weigh me down. I mean, not that I had need to

(01:03:05):
begin with skeleton choke. I would call myself vain, but I
ain't got them all right done with quotes.
We've got golden Ham time. It's.
Got to be Sanji and the rates you right.
Is it a silly question to ask you who you think, or should I
actually pose it? But I got my answer.

(01:03:28):
Yeah. I mean, I'm fine with this.
I'll give it to Soba Mask. I am Soba Mask, he doesn't need
a rebrand. I agree with USOP and Frankie
that Sola Mask is a garbage name.
Is it though? I think it is, yeah.
I think Sola mask terrible name.Oh my God.

(01:03:50):
Shout out to Frankie making a mask out of his hair.
What? At some point when Himmler and
Usopper running, Frankie gets this idea that like oh we should
have disguises and he presses his nose to change his hair and
and his hair just just swallows his face.
Oh, right, yes, I remember that.Yeah, I remember now.

(01:04:12):
Good times. But runner up for me is probably
I mean, despite his name also sucking, I would give it to Page
1 for actually no, I would give it to King for fucking fiery
Pteranodon Mothra looking guy. That's that would be my.
We're we're connected right now.I agree with all three of these
picks. I would definitely give it to
King before page one. Page one would be third string,

(01:04:32):
but yeah, King my boy for that one.
Shout to King. All right, moving on to fan
mail. Justin, what do we got for fan
mail? We got a letter.
We just got a letter. Wow, this is a big e-mail.
I probably should have broken stuff for myself anyway.
Locking in. I see you've met my ex Co worker

(01:04:55):
L Oh God. I don't know his name either
gang he's just always went by L.Soon after I fled the
organization he was promoted to leader of the task force looking
for me. He's gone way too close to
finding me. I've put you guys in danger so I
apologize of the deepest degree.I suggest you equip the studio
with weapons. Yes, even more.
And rock detecting sensors. Rock like music.

(01:05:18):
Yes, Listen, how many fucking windows have you had broken in
the past month? Oh, right.
Yeah, that's true. Thank you for letting me use the
studio as a hideaway and a lot to do my experiments.
When did we do that? Wait, we did that?
Who? Who could Devon probably green
light it I. Don't know.
I have finished and I've createda new organization called
Narbpot. NARBPOT stands for.

(01:05:39):
Guys, come up with shorter acronyms please.
Hold on, wait till you hear whatit stands for, which stands for
NAMI and Robin Body Pillow. Purist of the world to resist
against the corrupt hack POA. I don't know what the acronym
means. Has many resources and the means

(01:06:01):
to eliminate me and my goals, but so do I and I'm sure the
NARB pot will prevail. We are now at war across the
globe with our numbers at a strong 1,345,670 soldiers.
Holy shit. All trained by Rayleigh himself.
What I have Ian the rewrite to rewrite to know me, which allows

(01:06:26):
me to rewrite any event in history.
Oh great. I will be giving updates on the
war every so often. And dear L, you're a creature of
impulse, A firework all flash and fury, for your light always
burns out, doesn't it? You rush in this swinging a hero
with a single resolution for every problem.
Smash the bad guy, save the day.So simple, so predictable.

(01:06:49):
You think I did all this for power, for money?
The truly greedy don't seek wealth.
They seek control. And they know the most valuable
thing you can control is not a vault of gold, but a person's
faith. Your faith in each other.
Your pathetic, fragile hope. I know your story.
I know how it feels to have the world fail you.
I know what it's like to stand alone and watch the system you

(01:07:10):
trusted, that you defended, crumble into dust.
But where you saw a tragedy, a cosmic injustice, I saw an
opportunity, a chance to show you the truth.
I offered them order. I offered to take their fear
away, and they took it. They handed me their freedom in
exchange for the illusion of safety.
You've been so busy fighting me,you haven't noticed they've

(01:07:30):
already surrendered. They don't want a hero anymore.
They want a shepherd. And if the sheep need to be
called for the good of the flock, what does it matter if
the shepherd has a wolf's teeth?You see, I'm not the enemy of
humanity. I'm its greatest benefactor.
I'm simply forcing the evolutionyou were too cowardly to
embrace. I will remake the world not
through brute force, but with elegance, surgical cruelty.

(01:07:54):
And when you are gone, when yourlast defiant flame is sputtered
out, they will build statues in my honor.
Not because they were afraid, but because they believed I made
them better. The difference between us is
this. You offer them a choice.
I give them a conclusion. No, tell me which one of us is
really doing them a favor. This e-mail will transform into

(01:08:15):
a Nico and Robin. I'm sorry, I think they meant
Nico Robin Body pillow in 543. Oh wait, no, I want this. 1.
Pass regards Big Tosh AKA Natasha Hot Lips.
The Lord deepens even further. Big Tosh.
Yeah, that was an e-mail. I write all that and I feel like

(01:08:35):
I haven't fully processed it, but shout out to the body
pillow. Yeah, free body pillow.
I mean, that that's that's really what I'm here for,
honestly. Well, thanks, Natasha, for
another lovely e-mail. I hope your quest against L goes
well. And you know, I don't remember
anybody green lighting it, but you know, I'm glad that we were
able to keep your secret from L that time.

(01:08:56):
We kept it from ourselves. Well, I mean, Natasha clearly
didn't tell us that they were here because of that.
It was for our own safety, but that's that's fine.
You don't have to go anywhere. You can keep doing what you're
doing. I'm fine with it.
So with that being said, thank you once again.
And we're going to move on here to the Garb Gab, where Justin
here is going to pick out from all these lovely chopsticks that

(01:09:20):
I've got in the gab this week. Each one finally laser printed
with the different gabs all on them.
So if you would kindly. Yeah, not a microphone.
That's the wrong device. Not a microscope either.
I have a laser engraver. No, no, not that.
That part is obvious. The thing that helps me see
them? What, like a magnifying glass?

(01:09:42):
Thank. You We got one of those.
Right, you got one of those seeing thingies.
Got one of them handheld lookingdevices.
One of those like mini telescopes or whatever.
Literally I thought of every magnifying device except a
magnifying glass. Yes, yeah, outstanding.

(01:10:05):
Outstanding. Anyway, chopstick time.
Hey y'all, the chopstick of Destiny.
How's all give me that magnifying glass?
Hold on. OK, no case of shit.
Here you go. And it says rain check in honor
of National Men's Day passing yesterday.
That time of recording ChristianName a man, Name a man, just

(01:10:29):
one. I well, I well, there's a.
Man. It's it's.
One man. Oh God, it's so much pressure.
Only one. A man.
One man. There's just there's there's so
many of them and I just, I can'tlike who could even choose who
could choose one? I mean they.

(01:10:49):
Can even be trans. Howie Mandel.
OK, you got there. Concerningly slow, but you got
there. Howie Mandel is indeed a man.
Oh. Thank God.
Unless, you know, proven otherwise that that was tough.
Wow. We've had a lot of tough

(01:11:09):
questions for rain check, but that one I need a drink all
right, and not from the water. I need like a Celsius or
something interesting. Not sure what caffeine is going
to do for you here, but I guess I'll give it a go for me to
name. Man I I got a couple, we got
Kakashi hot take. We got a gojo from from that one

(01:11:30):
show so pretty white hair. Any other pretty dudes white
hair? There's others.
There's one in particular, but Ican't name them for legal
reasons. Silver's Raley, yeah.
Actually though, that's that manis a true silver fox Holy.
Yeah, he's the hottest of all ofthem, honestly.
Shout to Silver Israeli, shout to Bartolomo Kuma.

(01:11:53):
I'm not sure where androids landon the whole man scale, but you
know you can't. Shout to my dad wherever you
are. Really.
That's that's who you're gonna call out.
I know it's a man, you know, I think.
You can't even name him. Listen, everyone knows my dad,
OK? Dude, I mean you're right, but
except you apparently. Yeah, shout out.

(01:12:16):
Shout out to my 8th grade English teacher.
Shout out to you. You're a cool guy.
Shout out to Coach. All of them.
Well, maybe not all of them. Some of them are kind of shit.
You're right, never did learn how to catch a baseball
properly. I can help you with that.
And yeah, shout out to all thosemen, both fictional and non
fictional all. Right, cool.

(01:12:36):
National Men Day. When?
When was National Men's Day? Yesterday from today as I just.
Recorded. Yes, so 1119.
All right, well. Shout out to men.
Go men. What did I do yesterday on
National Men's Day without realizing it?
Nothing. What did I do?
I watched wrestling and I baked cookies.

(01:12:57):
Wow, that you did that. You had the most manly day I've
ever heard. Especially those cookies.
How those cookies? Turn out subpar my opinion but
my boss got mad at me for sayingthey were bad and she was like
these are delicious don't you ever lied to me ever again.
I mean do send me pictures as you as you were updating making
them and they looked good, I'll say that much.
They could be better. That is objectively true and no

(01:13:19):
one could take that from me. I believe you.
I bet they were still good though, even if they could be
better. After you eat the first 3 burnt
ones and you get the ones that are like only a little
overcooked. Pretty good.
I didn't do anything. I was, I was here.
I was. I was home.
My man was getting himself TLC and that's the best way to
celebrate you. Now, I I guess probably a late

(01:13:41):
request, but Dave, I don't exactly know copyright law and
all that. So, so this is probably a really
dumb idea and ignore it. If it is, it probably is
Christian. You know, you remember, you
probably know the actual proper name for it, but do you remember
those really old commercials? I think they're for Bud Light.

(01:14:02):
Real man of genius. Yeah, I need that instrumental
just playing in the background. No.
I don't care where, just somewhere.
We're going to bring real man ofgenius back.
That was a real arc we had here on this podcast at one point.
Real man of genius. Shout out to you elevator

(01:14:28):
electrician. Forgetting me up and down the
Empire State Building that one time.
Kudos to you. That's it.
That's the only one. Hold on, I got to think of
another man. For $1.00, name a man.
Shout out to you, my boss at thepharmacy for paying me on time
every Friday on the top well. There you go.

(01:14:49):
My $500 is well worth. Shout out to you guy at the
bagel store who put a little bitof extra schmear on my bagel the
other day. Golly, put a little extra smear.
Just a little extra on the top. You know, just reminded me of

(01:15:11):
that one time you you, you ordered a bacon, egg and cheese.
Oh my God. But you got the deal.
But I got a BLP and you know what I did?
I sat there and ate it because Iwas too lazy to go back and tell
him. He's not a wasteful man.

(01:15:32):
No, he's not. What a horrible time you just
reminded me of. Well, can you suffer by doing
the thing? So if any of you out there
listening to the show will support us, consider signing up
for a membership over at pandasightings.com where you get
a bunch of extra content like inperson recordings and vlogs.

(01:15:53):
And there's merch store there where you can buy a little
something for your loved one. Please, the hamsters will eat us
if they don't get that speed of vlogs.
A new one just got posted, possibly the 1st 1:00-ish
features Christian doing something, I'm be honest with
you, but he had no idea what you're doing in that video.
But we got car time with Devin, and that might be my new
favorite form of content, just Devin talking to himself,

(01:16:16):
working on his car. Yeah.
I was building a thing for cosplay that's.
What I figured, are you going tolike release installments of
that? Like like are we going to get to
see the finished product in terms of like, oh, on episode 2
we see me putting putting the the silhouette together in
episode for the final product. I don't, I don't think it'll be
in installments. It was very experimental what I
did and I so just the the act ofrecording the process in

(01:16:41):
general. So I did not necessarily do an
outstanding job with the the whole process and trying to make
it as entertaining as I could. So there is that.
I doubt it'll come out in installments, but it will be out
at some point and you will also see a finished product as well

(01:17:04):
as well as me in the full cosplay.
So for like the limited amount of pictures because I also I was
not particularly happy with the way it panned out.
So I learned a lot of lessons from doing that whole thing.
And also I started the project way too late, so I was under a

(01:17:24):
lot of stress with it. And I, like I said, learned a
bunch of valuable lessons in terms of making props and
planning ahead of time and coming up with the right
materials for the job. So I do have pictures with it of
me with the weapon and the thingin the costume I should.
What do you think? Am I, am I telling the people

(01:17:46):
what it was or should I just like leave it as a little
teaser? Like go check out the website,
go sign up for for a little membership, no.
No, no, leave it as a teaser andthey'll hopefully figure out
figure it out with another episode or two.
And if somehow, for some reason they don't get it, then we tell
them on the podcast. I'll, yeah, I'll leave it.
I'll leave it at that for now. You know, I've dropped, I've

(01:18:07):
dropped a little bit of a, I love a teaser.
It was a weapon of some kind. Maybe that's not like a huge
deal. A lot of people make cosplay
prop weapons. But you know, maybe as the weeks
go on, every every week, I'll say another part of it until I
just finally get to it. And then anybody who signs up
for a membership and, and sees it will know already.

(01:18:27):
But for those who don't sign up for memberships or can't, you
know, it's not by know means is it mandatory?
But it's very much appreciated if you do.
Right now we're building up a little bit of backlog of, of
little things that we can put upthere.
And it's going to be fun. There's already a couple of
things and eventually that will be on too.
And yeah, so I, I, I made a cosplay weapon.

(01:18:50):
And next week I'll maybe reveal some of the little teaser about
it. So stay tuned.
Nice. So yeah, check this out at
panasonics.com. Panasonics.com, Baby.
All right. Buy AT shirt.
Buy AT shirt. Watch a video, buy a hat.
Have a good time, Buy a bandana for your pet.
Actually though and then send uspictures in our discord or an
e-mail. Just send me a picture personal.
Or both. All right, I'm going to let you

(01:19:11):
get back to your micro naps now.Actually I'm so tired.
Yeah, you earned it, buddy. Worked hard this week.
All right. Bye everybody.
Bye bye now, bye bye.
