pleased, I'm pleased, brother,they are, they are killing it.
There are four announcementsthat we're going to talk about,
and then we can also talk aboutwhat the season will cover,
because I think they officiallyreleased that too.
So let's start off with thecasting.

(02:13):
First and foremost, we have DrHaraluk, who is cast, and I
apologize for my pronunciationfor everybody's names, but I
believe this brother's name isMark Haralick.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
The name is very close to Haralick.
He was born to play this.
No, he was born to play it.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
He looks familiar.
He's one of those journeymen inHollywood, but I vividly
remember him from playing Godand Preacher, and Preacher was
my show.
So, Preacher was on fx and heplayed god and god's god is like
god, but also like like a jerkin preacher and so he's like,

(02:55):
he's like he was funny in it,but yeah, that's a lot of the
hair look, a lot of people mightremember him.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
He was.
He was the black fish in in uhgame of thrones yes, so he was
caitlin stark's uncle.
No, you lying yeah that's right, that's, he was cat's uncle, he
was the black fish he was.
He was the one when jamie wentto the that castle's called.

(03:21):
But uh, jamie went there andthen, uh, brian you're not
talking about crocus's character.
We're talking about harold I amso, yes, I am talking about
crocus, I'm so man yeah, haroldwasn't in.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Harold wasn't in game of thrones yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
I'm sorry, I'm gonna shut up now that's.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
That's dr harold.
We're excited.
I mean know he only got oneline he needs to nail Mark.
He only needs to say yourdreams shopper, your dreams
shopper.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
I'm in dreams.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
I need to make it a gif, and that's going to be what
I use when I'm talking toanybody.
I'm bringing cherry blossoms toDrum Island, your dreams
shopper.
He has the hardest and theeasiest job.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
All he got to do.
That's all I want from him.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
All he got to do is nail that.
And I better see whatever thatpuppet or CGI bawling their ass
off.
I was going to say the samething.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
I would need two things.
I need that, your dream shopper, and then I need whatever that
chopper if it's a puppet, a kid.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Uncontrollable Sobbing, trauma-infused sobbing
that's what I need from thisbrother.
So they do that, and I'm surethey will.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
They do that Job well done sir.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Easiest and hardest paycheck you ever earned.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
No, that's dr harry he was just like your dreams
chopper.
That's it.
He's like.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
It's just the same thing, but I'm I'm in like 40
minutes of this episode.
They're like it doesn't matterthis.
This is your motivation this isacting they show him.
They show him just that clip ofthe anime.
It's like 30 seconds long.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
He's like I get it watch this.
I get it now.
I know he goes to Oda, he'slike.
Thank you for thisresponsibility oh man, whatever.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
That's part of why I like drum island like honestly
just that okay, another personin drum island has been cast,
and that is dr koreha or um drreen is her nickname.
Oh, Katie, what's it?
Seagal Seagal, katie Seagal bro.

(05:46):
Like hey, bundy, you know whatis it.
Sons of Anarchy yes, futurama,you just said Lila, like bro.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
In one piece.
In one piece dog piece dog.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
she would be an amazing voice actor.
Yeah, for Dr Korea, let aloneactress for Dr Korea she's gonna
crush it.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
She's gonna crush it, she's gonna crush it.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
And you know what?
Jamie Lee would have been aperfect casting oh yeah, jamie.
Lee.
This is a great second choicein my humble opinion.
She is going to kick butt inthis role.
She is dr correa yeah, yougotta be sassy, kind like just
know everything but just have aheart, and katie seagal does

(06:37):
that in every role she's in.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
I think she's gonna pull.
I forget what her name was insons of anarchy.
I should know that I watch thatshow all the time, but I think
she's gonna pull.
I forget what her name was insons of anarchy.
I should know that I watch thatshow all the time, but I think
she's gonna pull a lot of energyfrom that character.
That character was a very likekind of like mother figure, very
wise, but I'm like I'll kickyour ass like don't, don't play
with me, you know.
So I man, this is like Icouldn't believe they pulled her

(07:01):
.
I I thought she's a little bitabove this we here now, bro.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
We here now we.
We get katie seagal in the show.
Yeah, it's gone money though.
Yeah, yeah, bro, netflix islike well, what you want, what
you want, what you want, youwant katie seagal.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
We got you.
I was like katie, katie.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Segal.
We ain't on Jamie Lee Curtislevel yet, though we still got a
way to go.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
I want to believe in my head Camden.
I want to believe she wouldhave done it.
She's a big One Piece fan andher grandkids wanted her to do
it.
I want to believe the rumorthat the schedules didn't line
up.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Oh, that's all.
Yeah, she loves One Piece.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
I lineup oh, that's all.
Yeah, she loves one piece.
Yeah, she loves like she woulddo it like she's going to be in
one piece.
Yeah, I, I, who knows what sheplays, but she's gonna be in one
piece I was talking to you.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
I think she could either play who's, who's the,
the woman, who's also a, uh,vice admiral, oh, that old lady
emerald the one yeah so there'stwo the one that's cool with
sengoku, yeah, yeah her, yeah,yeah, yeah, she can probably
play her.
Yeah and then maybe she couldprobably play.
I forget her name, the, the,the chick who's at the bar with

(08:16):
rayleigh oh yeah, yeah, but you,she's deceptively young looking
though that's true, you knowshe's.
Yeah, she's true, you knowshe's older.
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
She's supposed to be deceptively young looking yeah,
yeah, I mean hey, why not haveher play Big Mom?

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Why not have her play Big Mom?
No.

Speaker 2 (08:35):

Speaker 1 (08:35):
I'm like the wheels are turning.
I'm like Jamie.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Lee Curtis why?

Speaker 1 (08:39):
not my mom.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
She would kill that.
She would kill that.
I know you're thinking likeyeah, but what about the makeup,
like?
Or, you know, the prosthetics?
Who cares we?

Speaker 1 (08:51):
got years to figure that out.
Have you seen the actressplaying Alveda?

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, she slimmed up.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
She lost a lot of weight.
She slimmed up.
Is that?
Did she do it for one piece?
Or did she do it for One Piece,or did she do it for her health
?
We'll never know, both areimportant.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Both are important.
Hey, hey, who doesn't do stufffor One Piece?
All right, a lot of us areliving out here just for One
Piece.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
No, she was done after like the first episode.
She's like all right, byeeveryone.
Oda showed up to her door.
He's like now we training Likeall right, bye everyone.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Oda showed up to her door.
He's like now we training.
He's like oh, you haven't readthe next arc, read this.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
He answered the volume of lockdown.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
He just walks away.
The next time he sees her,she's already lost 10 pounds.
She's like, I understand, odaSensei.
Anyways, we got Katie Seagal,so Drum Island's going to be
dope.
We can talk more about theepisodes, but I'm looking
forward to it.
Now let's talk about Alabastaroyalty.

(09:58):
Cobra is being played and I'mgoing to mess his name up but
Sindelel Ramamurthy and what Iknow him, as is Mohinder Shoresh
in the show Heroes, dr MohinderShoresh.
Mohinder is one of the maincharacters in Heroes.

(10:19):
Heroes is an ABC show.
It was from like 2006 to 2010.
They had like either four orfive seasons or so heroes was my
show mark?

Speaker 1 (10:28):
yeah, it was.
It was in that era where everyshow that came out was kind of
trying to be lost.
Yeah, it wasn't.
Every network was like you needto loss, we need to loss
everyone, get your loss togetherit was lost in x-men mixed into
one and it was very good.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
It did not age that well, but it's still.
It's still man.
That was my jam.
It was a great show.
It got it got, it got bad.
But yeah, when it was good,brother, it was great, it was
great.
And he, this man, can act histail off.
Yo.
I've enjoyed him in everythinghe's in and this is right up his

(11:08):
alley.
He's going to kill it as cobrahe's going to kill it.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
I'm taking back to heroes.
Never got into heroes, I just Imissed that boat.
I was a lost head.
It was like lost for nothingelse.
Should I go back?
Should I go back and watchheroes?

Speaker 2 (11:22):
There it's.
I would say yes, becausethere's just some characters in
there like their main villain.
He's, he's like dynamic, I meanhe's.
So the main villain is calledSiler, he is Spock in like our
new generation of Star Trek Inthe in the the JJ Star Trek.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
The JJ Star Trek.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
And let's say, when I , when they cast him as spock, I
was like, oh, he's going tokill it.
And you've seen, I have fullconfidence.
I have full confidence inanything that brother can do.
That's how good of a job he didin heroes, okay, and I think
there's a few folks from heroesthat I'm just like no, it's
funny enough.
The stars on Heroes aren't eventhat strong of actors.
It's these other folks likeMohinder Siler, there's some

(12:10):
folks in there that are justacting their tail off and, yeah,
I think it's cool it might beworth it, you know when on the
break weeks of One Piece itmight, you might want to dabble
in it a little bit got you.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Got you okay.
No man, I'm excited.
I'd like I said I'd never watchheroes.
I don't really know thisbrother's.
You know performance, but I'lltake your word for it.
The one thing I saw like onlinewas everyone's like this man is
50 years old.
They're just like the nerve ofhim for like like how dare he,
he's 50.
Looked like a 50-year-old man.

(12:45):
I was just like yo.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
That brother is aging well man.
He looked just like that whenhe was playing in Heroes.
He ain't changed a bit.
He's like what y'all want fromme, bro.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
I'm trying to be old.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I need to work.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
I don't know nothing about this dude, but that's all
I saw online.
I need to work.
I don't know nothing about thisdude, but that's all I saw
online.
Like, how dare you?
You're 50.
Be, old Yo.
Seriously, though, he lookedexactly like how he looked at
Hero.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
I don't know what he's been doing for the past 14
years, but good for him.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Good for him.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
And then Mark, my favorite straw hat up until I
realized she wasn't gonna be astraw hat was nefatari.
Vivi bruh, that was my fate.
You know this because I talkedto you about this I was just
like yo I love vivi, vivi's dopeman we are.
We have gotten the casting fromnefatari bb and I'm gonna mess
her name up as well shatirichandra, and I don't know too

(13:51):
much about her, except she was astar on like the lab, like
maybe two seasons ago onbridgeton and bridgeton's like a
big deal, but from what I haveseen, she's going to kill it.
Yeah, yeah, ask my wife.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Cause my wife walks Bridgerton.
I was like hey what can you tellme about this girl?
She's like she's good, she'slike she's good, she's good,
you're going to be all right.
And like I mean thanks, wife,she's good, she's good, you care

(14:26):
, thank you, wife.
But uh, dog, I mean when I,when I saw her, I was like I was
like yo, perfect man, perfectthat you know we got a little
bit of the internet being theinternet and like, why isn't she
white?
The original art?
First of all, let's talk aboutthis whole thing for a second.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Let's yeah, bro, let's talk about this let's talk
about anime characters aren'tlike.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
I think that the people think because the way
they look that they're whitepeople, it's not necessarily
they are or they aren't.
It's like the I saw a videoabout this before.
It's kind of like it's a way tomake your anime characters more
like marketable and like kindof universal, because it's like
like you can draw everyone tolook asian, you know, you can

(15:09):
draw everyone to look like thisor whatever.
Or you can like make acharacter that people can
imprint on imprint themselves orwhatever on.
So, like you know, alabaster issupposed to be a middle eastern
type nation.
I I don't know what exactlyit's based off of.
I don't know what it ever says.
I mean it's definitely acombination of, like egypt,

(15:33):
saudi arabia and like south asia, so that's like you know,
you're pakistan, you're india,like exactly it's like it's like
all, like a mixture of allthose, exactly so like I have no
problem with this and I, I, I,dude, we talked about this
before, I don't know necessarilyon this podcast.
I feel like if a character, ifwhat, who a character is, if it

(15:56):
has, if their race or theirgender has nothing to do with
their story arc, then castingand stuff doesn't really matter.
You know, like T'Challa has tobe a black man because of what
and who Black Panther is, wonderWoman has to be a woman because
of, like what the Amazons are,what they represent, their

(16:18):
dynamic man's world.
Bruce Wayne can be anybody.
Yeah, I think Bruce Wayne's aanybody.
Yeah, I think Bruce Wayne's awhite man.
Okay, let me Peter Parker.
There we go.
I mean, we got Miles Morales,but Peter Parker could be
anybody.
The Fantastic Four, that couldbe anybody.

(16:42):
It's four of them, they're fromNew York, take your pick.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
That could be anybody , it's four of them.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
They're from New York .
Take your pick.
That could be anybody.
Each one of them could be adifferent race if you wanted to.
I mean you and I.
We don't really get riled upabout these things, but I saw a
little bit of this what I wasseeing from the One Piece fans.
They're like money.
We in there, let's do this.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
And then people who are just like you know, the
original tending artist, blah,blah, blah.
This mark.
We don't get riled up, but thispushed me on the edge a little
bit.
Like bro, I'm convinced thatsome of y'all are either bots or
something else because, likethere's no way this many people
are actually this racist likeI'm.
I am convinced I read somewherethat somebody's like I get not
picking an egyptian, but whypick somebody so dark skinned?

(17:36):
And I almost flip.
I was.
What are we saying?

Speaker 1 (17:39):
right now, bro, yo, I , I, I.
I think that's people's issue.
I think if she, I think theactresses of indian or yeah yeah
, she was.
If she was light-skinned, Idon't think there'd be a problem
, or?

Speaker 2 (17:53):
there'd be less of an issue.
Here's my thing.
The author hand-picked herexactly, baby, exactly.
Oda decides what the race ofthe character is.
He hasn't put anywhere whatvivi's race was.
You know what I'm saying?
Like it's not, I don't thinkit's on any sbs but, like and

(18:16):
also mark.
One piece is not a real world Iknow it's real in our hearts,
but it's not a real world.
Alabasta can be anywhere.
Oda says it is, and you knowwhat he said.
The people there look like Vivi.
Yes, the people there look likethe person he cast for Cobra.

(18:38):
That's what he said, and that'sit.
Y'all can't go on to Oda.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
And that's why I'm like people, because netflix has
there's a lot of, there's a lotof, and some, some of this is
well deserved criticism fornetflix where it's like I don't
know if you've seen those memeswhere it's like the anime and
it'll be like I don't know.
It'll be like we'll just sayit's deku, right, and it's like
the anime and it's Deku, right,and it's like the anime and it's
Deku, and then it's likeNetflix adaptation and it's like

(19:06):
it's like A hamster running ina wheel.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah, it's terrible.
It's terrible, yes.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
But some of that's well-deserved, because Netflix
has been not hidden with allthese anime adaptations, right?
But Oda is involved.
Oda picks these people torepresent his character, so it's
like he's the creator.
I don't think oda is making anyof these decisions for wokeness

(19:34):
, right?
This is just how thesecharacters, look in his head.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yes, and he's just like oh yeah, yeah, that's nippy
.
He looked at luffy, was likethat's luffy, that's you.
Know what I'm saying?
And it's just like ooh, yeah,her, that's Nibby, that's Nibby.
He looked at Luffy and was likethat's Luffy, that's you know
what.
I'm saying and it's like, andyou know what, when we watch
them play these characters, weall are like.
If you remember how you feltwhen you watched the first
season, you're like that's Luffy, that's Luffy and like, oh,

(20:01):
that's Zorro we said itconstantly all the actors, they,
they understood the assignment.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
There was never, never once where I saw anyone do
anything that I was like thatcharacter would not do or say
that thing, no, never anythingit was.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
It was refreshing to see it done in live action,
because I'm like yeah yep, Ifigured me Mihawk would be like
that you know what I'm sayingExactly.
And so you see Oda's handpressing there, and that's why,
mark, I'm convinced all of theseare bots.
I am convinced this ain't realpeople, because you wouldn't.

(20:39):
If you like One Piece, if youknow Oda, you ain't batting an
eye.
You can't wait to see it.
That's what you're thinking.
I thought they were Egyptian.
Oh well, can't wait to see it.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
That should have been your train of thought, and can
I be a?
Little shallow.
Can I be a little shallow?
One Piece has a lot ofbeautiful women in it.
Vivi's one of them.
This woman is gorgeous, Likeshe is gorgeous.
She looks like a princess.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
She looks like a princess, she looks like royalty
.
What do you want?
What do you want?
Come on, I don't know, buttsbro.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Butts yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Butts.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
I have no doubt she's going to kill it.
She's already in Netflix.
I mean, my wife says she's goodon Bridgerton.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
I might watch Bridgerton.
I might watch Bridgerton justto get it.
That's how much I love OnePiece bro.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
I might watch Bridgerton just to catch myself
up on it, to understand, to seewhat you're getting into.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Last thing when it comes to the anime, is we
officially got what they'regonna cover?
Yes from the, from the story inin the live action and funny
enough, mark, you actually saidthis in the last episode.
You said, bet they're gonna dolog town, reverse mountain,
whiskey, pea, little garden anddrum island and they'll wrap it

(22:03):
up with drum Island.
And that's exactly what Odasaid they were going to cover.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Alabaster.
So much Alabaster might.
I don't know if they'll makeAlabaster its own season, but
it's so much you need, I think.
To do Alabaster right, you needat least five episodes.
Maybe, maybe, four, maybe four.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Can we talk about that for a minute?

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
What are the milestones that you would cover
in alabaster for it to be likethose episodes?
Because I I think alabastercould be done in two episodes.
It now that's a rush and Idon't know what three times.
I think you could do two ofthose fights in one episode you
could.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
you know what.
Know what I'm saying?
Well, here's what.
Okay, so let's, I think you gotto cover like the arrival.
You know all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
And then just like seeing the world of Alabasta and
seeing how, yeah, you got toget my boy, perfect camel.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Perfect camel.
He works in there, perfectcamel.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
You got to get him in there.
You don't, you don't, but no,you don't need the perfect camel
.
No, you don't even tuck.
I want to tuck in this show nocamel.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
I need in live action the straw hats jumping that
camel and curb stopping thatcamel.
I need to see that in liveaction because in the anime I
love that scene.
That is so funny.
I to see the live action.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
That's not happening.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Mark.
The actor played Luffy Sanjiand Zoro Herb.
Stop it, I think.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Usopp.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Usopp was in there as well.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Usopp got some licks in as well.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
I need it.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
I need it man, I need it.
I don't think that's happening,by the way, but go ahead.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
You got to establish who's the young boy who was VB's
friend.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I forgot his name.
You got to establish him.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
You got to go to that town.
That is like it had water in it.
It's gone and that old man islike trying to find the water.
You got to do that part.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
There's a lot.
There's a lot to do inAlabaster you got to like.
In all the fights you got to dolike oh when they got captured.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
That's a big deal.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yes, that's a big deal.
Yeah, when they get captured,that's an episode in itself and
Smoker's involved.
Because I think that's thefirst time we see sea prism
stones right.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
That is the first time.
No, no, no.
Smoker's staff is made out ofsea prism stone.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
True, true, facts, facts.
But yeah, you gotta do that.
You got to introduce Robin.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
But you do that during the capture scene, when
they all get captured in thattown.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
So I mean, I think, at least three you gotta cover
those.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
The sand.
What's the sand that turns likerain.
That turns rain.
That makes rain there.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yes, there's a lot of character development with this
is how bad we can't rememberanyone's name but BB's in
Cobra's bodyguard.
The dude could turn into aneagle, yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
You got to do backstory there.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
You know there's going to be some backstory with
like young vivi and alabasterthey gotta do vivi's backstory
you know, so there's an episodein itself there is a lot okay I
still want them to end with jaya, like, I think, that idea you
had this is the first big arc ofone piece.

(25:26):
Right, this is the first big one.
So, like you gotta establishsome time to it, I I wouldn't be
surprised if the day, and theneven when alabaster is done, you
gotta do like you know, thecelebration, the feast, and then
like the leaving of alabaster,you know the, the x's.
You gotta do that, you knowthat can be an episode just I'm

(25:48):
leaving alabaster that could bean episode so yeah, you gotta do
the fist I can't wait to seethat I can't.
We still gotta get through thisseason, but I gotta, I gotta get
my, I got to have my straw hatscurb, stopping that camel, I
gotta see pervy I don't want youto be disappointed just set

(26:08):
your expectations, so low mark Ijust, I just love how petty
this is.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
An animal, an animal grown men yo, when I got to that
part, you were like did you seeit?
You didn't even you didn't tryto explain.
You're like did you see it?
And you made me look at it afew times I love it.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Also laughs very hard , I love it.
And then, uh, isn't there'ssome 80 stuff, right?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
in alabaster.
There is ace in alabaster yeah,so alabaster's gonna be a huge
season yeah, yeah, there's a lot.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
There's a lot to cover man.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
It's like there was a .
There was a lot that they hadto do to make season one good,
season two your dream shopper.
They really just have to dothat well, laboon your boy.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Oh god, bro, they gotta kill laboon and the
introduction of crocus you gotta, they gotta.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
That needs to be intense and ridiculous at the
same time.
Laboon, and then your dreamshopper, that's it now, that's
it like everything in between.
I'm gonna enjoy I'm surethey're gonna kick butt in
little garden and whiskey peak.
I know those are gonna be greatwell, here then let's go.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
let's go and talk about what season two is going
to cover.
You know Logtown.
We got to get the Luffy Zoro,sanji Usopp I'm done, like you
know and then the lightningSavenome.
We got to get Smoker'sintroduction.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
We're going to see Dragon.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Going to see Dragon, you know, I think, because the
pacing of this thing, you know,I sent you something where they
said like bartow was cast, but Ithink it was fake, right?
Yeah here's the thing, though,I think they're going to take an
opportunity in lockdown tointroduce on on the slide some
more characters, because in aflashback, didn't didn't we see?

(28:02):
In a flashback, bartow wasactually at Lockdown and that's
where we first saw Luffy.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
I don't know, but he was in the East Blue or
somewhere, and Luffy is the onethat inspired him.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
I felt like it was at Lockdown, where he saw.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Luffy, it might have been Lockdown.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
So you know we got a lot to cover, man.
When did we first see?

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Ace.
We first see Ace in Alabasta.
I think no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
He leaves Drum.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Island, doesn't he?
He like leaves Drum.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Island.
Well, doesn't he?
Because before all the StrawHats meet Ace, don't Luffy and
Ace run into each other?

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yeah, but that was in Alabaster.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
That was in Alabaster , okay.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Okay, I'll look this up later.
I gotta find out.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Okay, so then that's in.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Alabaster, so Logtown is a lot.
That's definitely a lot forthem to cover and they're gonna
have to leave.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Logtown.
You got Buggy Albedo's comingback.
Smoker Dragon L to leaveLockdown.
You got Buggy Albedo's comingback.
Smoker Dragon Luffy almostgetting executed.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
If I was them, I would sneak some.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Zoro gets his new swords in.
Lockdown.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
And he meets Toshigi.
And I would sneak in someBaroque works.
I have some Baroque works inevery episode and I'd have
Kobe's training art in thisseason, true, so those are the
two things that I would do, butReverse Mountain, that's going
to be fun.

(29:35):
I think that's going to be anepisode itself, like Reverse
Mountain and Laboon, but that'sgoing to be fun.
I'm going to enjoy that one,because they're also going to go
to the Con Belt and we're goingto see some more sea monsters.
And then you know ReverseMountain, and hopefully it

(29:55):
answers some mysteries, becauseReverse Mountain is so
mysterious.
We don't ever talk aboutReverse Mountain and how it
works and operates.
That don't make no sense.
So, and then we're gonna getwhiskey peak, that's just gonna
be an action-packed.
That's gonna be a fun one that'sgonna be real fun.

(30:16):
Are you thinking they're gonnado it?

Speaker 1 (30:18):
oh, my bad I was.
Are you thinking they're gonnado the?

Speaker 2 (30:20):
uh, the luffy thinking zoro attacked all those
people yes, bruh, that's gonnabe the climax of the episode.
Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Okay, we're going to see a.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Luffy-Zoro fight, yes , nice.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Nice, nice.
I love that.
I just love Zoro's like hey man, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (30:38):
He's like you attacked all these people.
They fed us food.
Yo, you know, Luffy, don't?
They gave us food.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Zoro Food.
I love it to eat.
The brothers that have seenthis.
If they didn't give us food,luffy would be like oh, what's
up, zorro?
Oh, what you doing, dog?
But no, they gave us food.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
How dare you?
He walked a lot of ass, but no,they fed Luffy Luffy's like bro
, we gotta shoot the ones.
We gotta shoot the ones.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
I can't stand for that, bro.
You're a monster.
You're a monster, you're amonster.
So we're going to yeah, andthen we get Bebe's introduction.
It's going to be nice, man,it's going to be good, and then
Little.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Garden.
I mean Little Garden is that'sgoing to be great, you know
we're going to get.
The reason I know Little Gardenis going to be good is because
when I was first watching OnePiece is because when when I was
, uh, first watching one pieceback when they were on sarah
village like usops, that was theworst, like part of the east

(31:39):
blue saga for me.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
like I, was just you're talking about live action
or anime?

Speaker 2 (31:43):
no anime, okay, I was just like man, I just need to
like hurry up and get yeah, Iwasn't feeling it.
That was my favorite episode ofthe live action, so if they
took the thing that I liked theleast and made it my favorite,
yeah, little garden was the onethat was like I was like man, mr

(32:04):
, three powers get on my nerve.
The giants are cool, but likelet's move on to the story Bruh
they're going to have that dudeplaying Mr.3 and those Giants,
it's going to be a ball man,we'll get some shine.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Usopp's actor is going to get some shine.
We'll see the Giants.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Crocodile's going to call Mr.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Prince Sanji will get a little.
Mr Prince, yeah, they got tonail that.
That's another scene.
They got to get right and theywill.
Is Little Garden when we firstlearn about?
Is it Nolan the liar?
Is that Little Garden or no?

Speaker 2 (32:41):
that's right before Skypiea, yeah so it's got to be
Giant.
Yeah, it's Giant.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
I'm interested to see how they do the giants, how
they look, the dynamic.
Because why I'm interested?
Because there's a lot ofdifferent proportion.
People in One Piece.
People in One Piece be likethis.
You know what I'm saying.
So I'm interested in how theyportray the giants compared,

(33:12):
like the size of the straw hats,how good the Giants look in
this world.
So I'm really interested to seehow that works out.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
It definitely will answer some questions of like
you know how?
Because the Giants are thebiggest.
Well, I guess what's his name?
The guy from Thule Bark, thehuge guy?
Oh, Orz oars is that's thebiggest.
But like the giants for themost part are like the biggest
that we'll see in the show, andso white beer will only be in

(33:40):
between that and and um, and whyam I forgetting my?

Speaker 1 (33:44):
my guys think kuma is only gonna be ever so small the
giant giant.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
It'll answer a lot of questions.
And then, last but not least,is Drum Island.
But we talked about Drum Islandso we didn't need to cover it
again, because it's really justone line and Warple.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
I'll just say this I think Luffy's actor is going to
have to do some heavy lifting onDrum Island.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Oh, he's punting right here, he's carrying two
two of the straw heads up amountain.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Yes, yes I I kind of I don't know.
We'll do it.
I would love to get that scenewhere, where zorro sees us up
when he's all swollen and hedoesn't know what the hell he's
looking at.
Remember us up, I forgot us up.
His head got like really bigand swollen and his oral season
he's just like.
He's just like he doesn'trecognize yes yes, you know.

(34:35):
Yes, but chopper man, what doyou think?
Live action puppet both I.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
I want a puppet.
Give me an elmo looking, anelbow looking chopper and
hopefully it works and it's nottoo expensive and it's adorable
and they sell a bunch of stuff Ithink we're gonna get mocap.
I think I think we're gonna getmocap like that's money man
sheesh I mean that makes sense,though it makes sense I, I think

(35:03):
I get a little kid, are theygonna get a little person?

Speaker 1 (35:06):
I would think like a little kid or a little person
for when chopper is regular andthen like the mo-cap actor for
all the different points youknow.
But I think, just because ofChopper, like what he can do as
a character, if this was in the90s or 80s Chopper would be a
puppet, but I think now, andlike scheduling and production

(35:29):
costs, I think chopper's gonnabe cgi.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
I think brooke will probably be cgi too, and and for
real.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
It wouldn't surprise me if frankie turns out to be
post time skip frankie.
Wouldn't surprise me if he'scgi.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
They'll probably be a little practical frankie
because they can't have half theStraw Hats, be CGI.
You know what I'm saying and wealready know how Jinbei's going
to look, because we saw howsome of those fishmen looked in
the last one.
Our launch park.
So yeah, man, we'll see.
We'll see.
Well, that's the live action.

(36:06):
We talked a bit about the liveaction, so maybe we can speak
through these other two.
Well, actually the next thingwe're talking about is the anime
, and there's only two thingsthat we're talking about.
There's just there are moves.
There are moves there are moves, they're not even like they're
just moves.
They're like two one-hitterquitters and we're going to
spend a good amount of timetalking about it, but it's only

(36:28):
two things.
We'll go in chronological order.
Let's go in chronological order.
So I'll start.
I'll give context, which is wehave been knowing, for those who
have been reading the manga,that we are going to see Shanks

(36:49):
go against Eustace Kidd and theKidd pirates.
And I told you, mark, I was waslike I don't know how this is
going to be a whole episode,because in a manga it was a page
, it's a page, barely a page itwas a quick, it was a quick,
swift move and the kid pirateswere done.

(37:11):
They're done, gone dog.
I will say I'm curious on whatyou think, mark.
So we're talking about Shanks'divine departure, divine
departure.
We learn in seeing this thatShanks has adopted the move that
was Goldie Rogers' signaturemove.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
He did it on Odin when he first saw Odin.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Ivan DiPaggio.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Was it Odin, or I think Odin said I smell a beast.
Yes, talking about Roger, aperson, that I smell a beast.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
And then what was it when he saw Whitebeard and
Rogers, when they both clash?

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Monsters.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Yo, I'll never get over that.
That's always gonna be funny Aman who can go toe to toe with
Kaido Monsters.
That's never gonna not be funnyyo.
I don't care, that's nevergonna not be funny yo.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
I don't care, that's never going to be funny.
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
And so he divine departures.
So I mean, we all have seenthis, but you know why I think
this is special and I will say,animation-wise, it was done
beautifully, I think, like aneagle made of Supreme
Conqueror's hockey.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Yeah, it was the shape of an eagle.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, that's ridiculous, but like I think why
it looks beautiful, but why Ithink this is great, is like
this is this like helped usunderstand at least somewhat the
the raw power that shanks has.
It's like I we're supposed towalk away thinking, okay, shanks
is one of one, like he is atthe top, ain't nobody on that

(38:54):
level.
And this, this page or thislike episode helps us understand
that like.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Okay, just in case you were wondering, he's the top
you know, I was listening to aprevious episode of ours when
we're're talking about you knowthe buildup right, how Oda makes
the buildup, the C charactersdo things where you're like that
dude's got it right.
And we were talking aboutShanks making Kaido turn around

(39:22):
and not go to Marineford andwe're like what is that.
What happened?
What does that mean?
Now we get it.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Now, we get it, now, we get it, now, we get it yeah.
Kaido's like come on, man, hey,you gonna let me go.
No, she's like come on, dog Idon't even really want to go
like that.
That's why.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
It's the brilliance of this world.
Because, dog.
Now we see why.
Because dog Wano, polkickIsland, big Mom and Kaido are
formidable, like they areproblems.
We see why.
Now they joined forces.
It's like, yeah, yeah, y'allgot to join, Y'all.
Granted, it was Law and Kid.

(40:03):
But Big Mom was, like you know,going at it with Law and Kid.
Granted it was two of them,going at it with Law and Kid,
granted it was two of them, butstill Shanks was done in a
second, kid was gone, didn't geta move off.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Think about it like this when Kid fought, kaido Kid
lost, but he became a prisonerand got stronger after that.
He then fought.
Big Mom Granted.
Taito Kid lost, but he became aprisoner and got stronger after
that.
He then fought.
Big Mom Granted he need law,and law is the man in my humble
opinion.
But they beat Big Mom andShanks one-hit knocks him out

(40:43):
and the crew is destroyed.
Everything's gone.
The pirates no longer exist.
Bruh, what do you mean?
You mean like what is that?

Speaker 1 (40:52):
what does that mean?
No, I, I love the kid pirates.
They're like yo, they're liketake everything, here's the pot
of closely.
Yo, here's my watch.
We got food downstairs.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
Just leave just after one dog after one hits bruh.
They're like it's over I'msorry, I no longer want to be a
pirate I don't know what we'rethinking.
Why did we come this way?

Speaker 1 (41:15):
why'd you?
Why'd you?
What was it in friday when, uh,when the dude tries to get his
bite back from depot and hisdad's like coming down here with
these people?

Speaker 2 (41:24):
yep, that was yeah.
Yeah, that was kid's, was Kiddlike what.
You coming down here messingwith these people, like bro, you
lost an arm last time.
You went against them, bro, andit wasn't even him.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
It wasn't even Shanks that did it.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
It was his man, it was his right-hand man, and the
right-hand man was like I mean,they're over there, mess with me
, I'm going to take your armLike it.
Mess with me, I'm going to takeyour arm.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Oh man, it was great.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
It was great and then Sorry, I'm just watching it
over again in my head, sheesh.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
What makes it like so ?
Because it shows like Shanks,like, I guess, armada or
whatever, they seem like prettyweak pirates.
They're like you know why wouldShanks waste his time?
But it's like he.
You know, shanks is like heyman, you down with me, whatever,
and his whole thing was like yokid he wasn't even worried
about.
He's like yo kid is gonna hurtthose people and I can't allow

(42:17):
them all.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
He's gonna kill them all, going to kill all of them
yeah, and he's like I can'tallow that.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
And what I love about shanks shanks never
underestimates anybody, anybody.
Remember when ace met shanks,he's like oh, you're trying to
fight, let's go.
It's like yo, slow down dog,like I'm just like I love it,
shanks is always about that life.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
It's like yeah yeah, no well let's talk a little bit
first.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
It might get there, but let's talk a little bit so I
love it, man.
And like shanks was like no,I'm moving into action.
And then the giants dog thedance, like shanks was like yo,
what, what is it what?
What was it when, um dog, wheneminem was beefing with I don't

(43:05):
know if it was jar rule, youknow or benzino, when he was
like you ain't even on my level,I'm going to let D12 finish you
.
You remember that track.
That's what.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
D12 went in.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
That's what Shanks did.
He's like yo, you know what youain't even on my level.
I don't need the time clips,I'll let the two historically
well-known amazing legends ofgiant pirates.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
do whatever that move is called and get you.
And they did, and they did.
And it looked beautiful, Mark.
This is how dare I say that OnePiece animation was mid ever in
my mouth.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
How dare I?

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Just such an ignorant person back then.
This is some of the best thingsI've ever seen, you know.
Well, this was good, actually,yeah, this was good because the
next thingthat we're gonnatalk about.
All right, let's get into it sowe just spent mark, we just
spent a good amount of timetalking about how beautiful that
move was, but I say it's okay.

(44:09):
Compared to this next move wetalked about, it's it?

Speaker 1 (44:13):
do I use the word mid ?
Is it mid compared to what?
Yes, yes it's.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
I'll just say this compared to what we thought,
we're gonna say this when we sawgalaxy impact, I text you.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
When the galaxy impact episode came out, I text
you and I was like yo kid gotoff easy.
Kid, he got it.
He got off easy compared toeveryone else.
The hog like hachinosu.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Yeah, bro, bro, bro, oh, there's levels.
So shakes didn't.
Shakes didn't put his whole armin it, because if he did, half
the island would have been gone.
Bruh.
So we knew in the manga GalaxyImpact is ridiculous.
Like Garp is like a small tinything.

(45:02):
And then there's just like aKamehameha-looking hockey wave.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Nels, before we even get there, let's just start.
You know, we got sword agents,everything.
We're in position, commander,or whatever.
Blah, blah, blah Garp does this, I don't even know what you
call it.
He does this jump kick, he doesa coup de burst and just from
the sheer wind power of his kicksends his ship into the air

(45:30):
like what, what, what was that?

Speaker 2 (45:34):
he could always do that.
When did he learn how to dothat?
What was he trying when he waslike, oh, we're just gonna send
the entire ship in the air andeverybody will be okay, the hell
you mean he didn't even hitanything.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
It was the wind, it was like the wind, he didn't
even touch anything.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Dog garbs, garbs, a real one before he leapt to do
galaxy impact, he startedwalking and then this, like this
, just wave of hockey, like hejust said, kamehameha, like or
or ko ken, it's like he justasked her to kill.
Like, like.
What is that bro?

Speaker 1 (46:14):
I and I'm gonna go back.
I'm gonna go back a little bit.
You know what's funny?
I've always said to people Ithink I even said it to you I
was like yo garps that dude,garp is that dude.
But I never had anything tolike back it up with.
I was just like yo garp, likeeven even my co-worker
cannonballs.

(46:35):
He did throw cannonballs, rightbut like even my co-worker, he,
he likes garp, he watches theone, the live action show, he
really likes the character.
Garp I was like yo, garp, isthat dude.
Garf, I was like garf is thethe truth.
But I never had anything tolike really show it with until
now.
Until now, and and we got and.

(46:57):
And it's funny because luffyalways knew what this was luffy
knew, luffy knew if you go backto water seven, right when garb
shows up, what does luffy say tohis crew?
Don't fight him.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
He's too strong, don't do anything.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Stop, everyone stop, or we're going to die, just stop
.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Suck, bro, loopy will suck, we just took down
Cypherpole.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
We just declared war on the world.
They survived a buster call,bro.
They survived a buster call,but don't fight my grandfather
that man, you don't want it withhim.
My almost octogenariangrandfather put it down Zorro
Stop, sandy Stop.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
This meant like yo, he could've saved Ace.
He could've saved Ace.
Like, come on, bro, have savedAce.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
He could have saved Ace Like come on, bro, Should we
?

Speaker 2 (47:52):
talk about this, let's talk about it, let's talk
about it.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Why don't you think he saved Ace?

Speaker 2 (47:58):
I think he regrets it , but at the end of the day, he
was like this is how your storywas going to end, like if you
chose the life of being a pirate.
This is how pirates end up.
This is why I didn't want youto be a pirate.
I wish it was going to happenlater on in life, but this is
how your story is supposed toend.
Like this is the only way out.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
It's either we do it or the other pirates do it to
you.
Looking where we are now, Ihave a little theory.
I think if Garp didn't haveKobe, he would have just been
like F it.
He would have saved Ace andthat would have been the end of
his Navy career.
I think, with Sword what hewants from Kobe, what he wants

(48:45):
Kobe to be, what he thinks Kobewill be.
I think that's why he couldn'tjeopardize his Naval career to
save ACE.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
Yeah, but he's seen the Navy do a lot of bad stuff,
I mean, but he says he's when he.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
He's like how dare you take Kobe?
He's the future of the Navy.
I think Garp is like he said mybeloved pupil.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
Yes, and I think he if Garp did.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
If Garp is like he sees something and my beloved
pupil yes, and I think if Garpsaved Ace which he probably
could have done then that's itfrom what he wants from Kobe,
what he wants Kobe to be.
I think he's like it broke hisheart.
But he's like Ace, this is thepath you chose, because he did

(49:29):
ask him when they were talking.
He's like what do you want meto do?
He gave Ace that shot.
He's like what do you want fromme?
What do you want from me to do?
So people like to hate on Garp.
I think he would have If Acewould have said save me.
I think Garp would have done it, but I think he would have done
it.
I think he would have done it.
I think he would have done itIf Ace was like Grandpa, saved

(49:51):
me.
I think he would have did it.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
He would have been like oh got to save him.
Well, got to see him pass, gotto see him pass.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
It's been real, marineford.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
And then he would have taken him to another island
and came back reporting to work.
And they're like, bro, youcan't do that, you can't just
come back.
He's like come on.
Come on, al, come on what youmean.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
But you knew he was Gold Rogers' son.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
So Come on, I told y'all.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
He's a kid.
He's a kid, but we can get backto Galaxian.
But I think that's important totalk about how we got here, why
Garp's doing this.
Kobe is a prisoner and Sword isthere to get Kobe and Garp's
like.
He's like.
I gotta dust this off.
I haven't used this in a longtime, but you took my boy.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
If you think about this, this man is so gangster.
He is going to a island full ofpirates.
He knows they're all piratesthere and he knows it's
blackbeard's territory and he'slike, I'll just go get sword.
We just like, give me, give me.
Um, uh, what?
What's the Kobe's homeboy'sname, harmeppo?

Speaker 1 (51:11):
Harmeppo.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
He went to a base and was like all I need is Harmeppo
, harmeppo, if y'all want tocome to cool.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
but I need.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Harmeppo and we are going to go get Kobe.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Not only that, it's Blackbeard's island.
All of Blackbeard's crew, whoare like pretty probably
formidable, are there.
It is an island full of pirates.
Blackbeard is an emperor, andnot only.
This is an island where theyput bounties on marines.
They don't play here, you know.
I'm saying they have no fear.
Like they get put bounties outon marines and gerber's like all

(51:49):
right, let's go like y'all wantto ride yep, all right, I'm
getting my.
I'm getting my I didn't wantthis.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
You asked for this.
But you know what, if I justhad a couple of containers of
galaxy impacts behind me, I'dprobably walk with a little
sense of urgency as well, like I.
I'd be like, yeah, I can dothis, I can go up to an island,
bro.
This man just has this in him.
Mark this entire show.
He was capable of this.

(52:16):
What this man just dropped?
He dropped the bomb on themwith his fist.
Bro.
I've never seen that before.
What?

Speaker 1 (52:24):
not, not world impact , not solar impact, not galaxy
impact, the whole galaxy, thepower of the cosmos in my head.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
What Come on, bro.
What hand did all that?

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Bro.
No weapon, just hockey, justhockey.
No weapon, just hockey, justhockey.
Like it looks beautiful, likewell done, like compared.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
They did a great job, yeah, in the anime.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
This is what Like, maybe a page or two.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
This move Talk.
I think it's one page.
Yeah, I think it's one pagethis joint was like.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
This joint was like an orchestra.
Like this joint was like.
This joint was like anorchestra, it was like an opera.
It just turned into space For acouple frames.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
I really appreciate that Toei understood the
assignment.
They must have saw that andwere like and they just put
Galaxy Impact On the wallthey're not leaving until we
figure this out the head artdirector.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
He sees he just puts his hands down, pours himself a
drink, let's get to work.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
Yes, man, daddy, when are you?

Speaker 1 (53:47):
coming home.
He's just like I'm.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
I'm trying to send them and and like just a really
sad moment.
He's like, daddy, what's goingon?
He's just hunched over the thetable.
He's like what is it, daddy?
And he just shows him the pageof galaxy impact his wife.
Oh, george, I did it, george.

(54:11):
He just looks at him and he'slike I have two months.
Then he just slowly closes thedoor.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
They're just standing in the hallway seeing their dad
oh, my goodness, man, the funnything is in the manga.
You're like Dog.
This is the funny thing is inthe manga.
You're like, okay, like, oh,this is strategic.
Garp's going to save Kobe Inthe anime I'm like yo, kobe's
dead.
How does Kobe walk away?
Why did you do this?

(54:42):
Because you just killedeveryone on the island.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
Hey, kobe's reaction is low-key, hilarious, because
Kobe knows this man can do this,yeah, so when he sees him, he's
just like I'm not worth it, bro, like I'm not worth you.
Galaxy impacting the island ofpirates for me.
For me, like come on.

Speaker 1 (55:05):
That's hilarious.
I'm surprised kobe didn't lookat all those pirates.
He he was like run, Get out ofhere.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Like you don't understand.
He's coming.
We all got to go now.
Don't you care about your lives?
Do you know what he can do?
Get out of here.
He's old.
What was this man doing back inthe day?

Speaker 1 (55:27):
Oh, my goodness, it's like if and it just.
I love this because it justsays so much about garp.
Garp should be probably runningthe navy.
Navy, yeah, he should be fleetadmiral, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
He should be retiring , low-key actually, but then he
doesn't want to be.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
he has all this power but he doesn't want to because
he has other motives and he hasa vision for the Navy.
I love it.
Man Garp's one of my favoritecharacters, Probably like my top
five characters in one piece.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
And you know what Mark After Galaxy Impact,
there's a lot more people whojoined that list with you.
There's a lot more people whojoined you.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
I assure you, not only when he's doing the Galaxy
Impact.
This man is just like laughinghysterically.
He's like ah.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
So happy bro.
Big old smile on his face,laughing hysterically as he
murders millions of people.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
That's the island and so it nails and we can move on
from this.
But it's like, bro, what kindof demon was Rox going for this?
But it's like bro, who?
What kind of demon was rocks?
If?
If this man and roger had toteam up to beat, to defeat rocks

(56:42):
, what, what kind of evil?
I don't know what was rocks?
Was he even a person?
I?

Speaker 2 (56:47):
it can't be like that , like it can't be that there
those two were going against oneguy.
I think I want to think thatrocks there's like a theory out
there that rocks is buggy's dadand that's the theory I'm like
prescribing to which is likerocks was just a like quirky,

(57:07):
goofy clown that knew how torecruit people and it was really
the fact that go, rogers andgarp had a team up to go against
white beard, big mom, kaido,like all those folks, and rocks
like I think it was just thatmassive force versus those two,

(57:31):
because if Rocks could gotoe-to-toe with Rodgers and Garp
, he was a monster.
He was Joy Boy.
Yeah, he was Joy Boy.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
I mean, I just I don't know if a prime Garp and a
prime Rogers struggle againstBig Mom Kaido and Whitebeard.
I don't, even when Roger fightsWhitebeard.
I always get this sense andthis is my own headcanon.

(58:05):
Roger enjoys clashing withWhitebeard.
He keeps him sharp.
This is his friend.
This is just how they do it.
I don't think Roger has anyintention on killing Whitebeard
when they clash.
This is how we do it.
This is my boy.
I always feel like he's holdingback a little.

(58:25):
He's not angry.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
It's like fighting because it's fun, oh god dog
angry roger.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
I don't, we're not, not, don't, move on.
God, I didn't think about that.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
Oh my, you might get it one day that man was laughing
as like I do think they weretrying to kill each other, but
like that's what makes it fun,but they were like in, like
laughing while they're enjoyingit, because they knew like this
person could take it.

Speaker 1 (58:54):
Like I'm going to try hard for the first time in my
life I have someone who I canlike go all out really let loose
.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
Yeah, yeah.
So all right, bruh.
Well, real quick, before westart, we we pivot to the manga.
I will name that.
So there's a couple fillerscoming out now, but after those
fillers wrap up my favorite partof the egghead art.
Egghead art is coming up, whichis the escape from marie joie,

(59:22):
like sabo's escape from marie.
Yes, that is my favorite partof the art and we're going to
get that.
And a couple things.
One we're going to spoilers ifyou don't want to know, but
we're going to finally hear emutalk so we can maybe be able to
confirm some stuff.
We'll see the girl saytransform, or at least see a

(59:46):
shadow of what the Boros theywill become.
And we're going to get to hearCobra talk about him being a D
and whatever he was trying totell Sabo.
Like that's a lot, bro.
All in, like I'm assumingthey're going to split it up, so
it's probably going to be liketwo.

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
We're going to see Wapol being like.
I did not need to see this.
I curse me for being here.
I had no business being here mefor being here.
I had no business being again,yeah man, this is, this is, this
is my favorite.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
This is gonna be my favorite.

Speaker 1 (01:00:16):
They're probably gonna split it up to like two
episodes.
Oh yeah, yeah, no, it's gonnabe good, it's gonna be really
good.
Yeah, maybe we'll get some,depending on the voice actor.
For for emu, is it a man, iswoman, does Emu even have a
gender?
You know, might answer somequestions If Emu turns out, if
Emu's voice actor turns out tobe a woman.

(01:00:37):
I'm leaning towards my theoryof like Emu was in love with Joy
Boy, but Joy Boy loved Lilithor Lily.
I'm sorry, lily, but I don'tknow who knows man.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
So much, so much is gonna happen, so much is gonna
happen in those episodes, man Ican't wait anyways, last but not
least, we got the end of theegghead art and I cannot get it
out egg head arc in the mangaand the crew is going to elbaf.
So, bro, I I would love to kindof just talk about what you

(01:01:17):
think about the arc as a whole.
I and if you don't mind I'llstart part of it is, bro, I
don't.
I'm still like, I'm still kindof like tying a bow in the arc,
so like because this is animportant arc for me, bro, this
is an important arc because,like, as a new One Piece fan, I

(01:01:38):
have kind of just breezedthrough arts.
I haven't had to go week toweek for an art.
And this is like the first artthat like I am getting to see
the end of week to week wise,after being there from like
beginning to end, and I thinkthis might be one of the.
I think this is like theremight be only two arts better

(01:01:59):
than this art.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
So on that, you know, cause I I really didn didn't, I
didn't really read the mangauntil you got into one piece.
So I started reading the mangaand I said to you I was like man
, this is like, this is fun,this is good.
I don't know how I would havedone reading whole cake week to
week.
You know even the beginning ofWano week to week.

(01:02:24):
I don't know, once you get intoWano I can see reading Wano
week to week would have beenlike oh man, this is good, this
is good.
The beginning of Wano week toweek.
That would have been tough, butdog, all of A-Head week to week
has just been fantastic.
It's been great.

(01:02:44):
You know we've been getting.
You know we've been gettinglore, we've been getting good
fights, we've been gettingbackstory.
It like it.
It not that it was a breeze,but like it just.
I I never felt like it wasanything, was a waste, like, oh
man, really this is what we'regetting.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
There were times where I wanted answers and odo
was like not not now, you know,but like all going on break,
yeah, but like it all feltsatisfying as a reading it week
to week I think the only thingthat was kind of tough was a
vagabond message going week toweek with Vegapunk's message.
I was just like come on, bruh,you ain't really say nothing

(01:03:28):
there.

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
You could have cut this in half Last week.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
Like you know, like he's like well in the beginning
next week and furthermore nextweek.
And, by the way, here'ssomething you really want to
know.
The message gets cut off.
It's like oh dang, answer aquestion.
So that was rough.
That was rough.

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
I will say that the good was the good thing about
the, the, the vagabond message,though, because it was like it
was waves dog, because likeotter would be like.
He was like, oh, you're gonnatell us this.
It's like oh, next week.
But then he would tell ussomething like really, really
dope, it's like the world'ssinking next week.
You're like, oh, my god, it'slike next week and I stubbed my

(01:04:13):
toe one day.
You're like, I didn't need toknow that, but you know what I'm
saying.
So he kept like really playingwith, but I I do think he
stretched that out a little toolong yeah, but I'm sure if you
read it straight through, it'sprobably like amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
It's probably well, I might need to do that one day,
just like read egghead straightthrough.
I'm sure it's, I'm sure, yeah,yeah, yeah, but so part, part of
the and I'll say this realquick and I want to hear your
thoughts on on the um arc, butlike this might be the best arc,
I I still put maybe two otherarcs above it, but this might.
It has an argument to be one ofthe best arcs.

(01:04:48):
Bro, if you think aboutbackstories, kuma's backstory is
.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
I mean, if you have one, then that's your favorite
one.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
If you pick one above Kuma, then that means that's
your favorite backstory.
It might be one of the best inone piece dog it really might be
in dog, it's probably the bestit's probably the best, but I, I
love me some of these otherbackstories like brooks
backstory to me, bro, is brooksbackstory is amazing and I'm

(01:05:21):
sure some folks will pick Law,but like Kuma's is it's top two,
Like honestly, so you have that.
You have like satisfyingmoments, which is like when Kuma
punches Saturn.
We waited weeks for that momentand it was worth it.

(01:05:42):
Like it was beautiful and wehave Luffy straight up in gear 5
for his fights now.
Luffy vs Luchi.
Luffy vs what's the Admiral'sname?

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
who'd you say Luffy vs?

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
oh Kizaru, yeah.
So like Who'd you say, lupiversus oh Kizaru Kuzan?
Yeah, yeah.
So like you have great fightsand of course, the Gorosei
fights and like all of that, andthen you have like appearances
like Kuma and like the giant,the iron giant, like bro, this
arc was amazing.
And then the giants show up.

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
You know, what I'm saying.
The giants show up.
The Giants show up when theywere just with Shanks.
So the timeline is Shanks.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
You usually don't see folks guest appearance like
that for a while and they'relike, oh no, they're just coming
at the end of the arc, they'regoing to pick up the Giants.

Speaker 1 (01:06:38):
What are the clones called the Satellites?
No, no, no, no, not theVagabond clones the Seraphim.
Seraphim and I'm still holdingout.
There's an Ace Seraphim outthere.
I'm calling it.
There's an Ace Seraphim outthere.
I don't want it them, bonnie,her devil fruit, realizing what

(01:07:01):
her devil fruit is capable ofand what it can do, we get to
learn that a lot of other StrawHats have hockey, frankie has
hockey.
I mean Sanji is goingtoe-to-toe with some of the
girls say, like, come on man,like this was an amazing.

(01:07:22):
We get One Piece is a dystopianfuture egghead in itself.
Like this is how the world usedto look and now it looks like.
You know this 18th centurypirate world, you know what I
mean emu, the mother flame.
You know it's.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
It's just, it was great god valley, god valley, oh
goodness, there was a lot.
There was a lot here, so yeahman, it's up there, bro, I look.
Marine ford is my number onefavorite and honestly, egghead

(01:08:03):
might be right after that.
I don't know, I know folks waterseven and and in this lobby is
their goat marine, for is mygoat, but after that I might.
I might put egghead over waterseven and I know I'm talking
crazy.
No, I'm talking crazy becausethat in this lobby fights, the
fights are, they're funny andthey're epic and great.

(01:08:23):
But, that Luffy fight is one ofmy favorite fights, but I might
put Egghead over it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
The great thing about Ennis Lobby and Water 7 is
there's a lot of like.
It has a lot of I think it hasa lot of Full Metal, alchemist,
brotherhood energy.
Yeah, and what I mean by thatis like people learning things.
You go do this, you find outthis.
We meet here.
What did you learn?
You know what I mean.
And then and then likedifferent people fighting all at

(01:08:50):
the same time, I don't knowit's hard to beat.
It's hard to beat water sevenin his lobby.
I don't know if I'm where Iwant to rank it, but egghead is
up there, dog, I think.
I.
I think I'm gonna say this Ithink Egghead's better than Wano
.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
I agree it's better than Wano.
That is an accomplishment initself.
Yeah, I like Wano.
I like Wano a lot.
I think Egghead is better thanWano.
I think it being shorter thanWano, helps.
Yes, yeah.
I don't know if that's.
Oda learned a lesson, wano'sgreat, and then when you go back
and watch or read Wano, youunderstand why it's so long.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Yeah, there's so much you have to learn yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:09:30):
You know Ace going to Wano, you know all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
The history of Oden.
It's a great arc, bruh.
It is so beautifully written.
If you get past the fact, youread a long-ass story within a
long story.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
You get past the fact you read a long ass story
within a long story.
I mean you gotta get the Odinbackstory, odin and Roger
backstory.
So there's a lot there, but Ithink Egghead can be shorter.

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
You get the Rogers pirates at Laugh Tale in Inwano
and I still put Egghead over it.
Ain't that crazy Sheesh?

Speaker 1 (01:10:03):
Let's talk about a couple things.
One okay, the robot, the giantrobot.

Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
Yeah, Emmett.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
I believe Emmett comes out you know straw hats to
try and get away from the Gorse, comes out to save the day.
Then we get this flashback ofjoy boy talking to him saying I
put my hockey in you, I tied itin a knot and you you'll know

(01:10:34):
when to unleash this.
Okay, okay, what does that mean, nels?
He does it.
He does it to save.
You know, the straw hats hitsthe gorse.
They go back to marie joie,right, this hockey this hockey

(01:10:55):
gets there, hits emu.
Emu was like having a seizure,like what starts choking.
What?
First of all, joy Boy is thatstrong and you can store up
hockey and just leave itsomewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:11:09):
One other one we have never seen Vice Admirals get
knocked out by.

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
Supreme.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
Cocker's hockey.
Everybody was knocked outeveryone.
I'm sorry you said it, the emufeeling it all that far away.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
Bruh.

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
We are several arcs away from Marie Joie.
You know what I'm sayingSeveral arcs away.
That was a long trip from thereto there and he felt it Like
come on bruh, and that was that,and that was strong boy.

Speaker 1 (01:11:45):
He, he, he de-transformed them, they.
They arrived back and they'relike, I guess they're human
forms, bruh, the fact.
Wait, you can wait a minute,you can store up hockey, you can
just leave hockey somewhere forlater.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
Hundreds of years 800 years.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
You can just like I'm going to leave this hockey
right here.

Speaker 2 (01:12:07):
You open it up later, when it's ready, Whenever
you're ready, and it will knowexactly who to affect.
It won't affect the people youwant to protect.
It will affect like why wouldyou give him that?
You clearly knew something wasgoing on and how did it last
that long and who were you tohave that?
You clearly knew something wasgoing on and how did it last
that long?
And who were you to have thatstrong of hockey?

Speaker 1 (01:12:29):
and so here's the thing, like okay one, okay.
First, emu's reaction was thatlike, oh my god, this is
affecting me, this hurts, or ohmy god, this is joy, boy, that
I'm feeling that's a good point.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
That's a good point.
It might be a little bit ofboth.
It's like oh my god, this Icannot believe this hockey's
affecting me.
It must be joy boy.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
It was probably that, so that and then nails Okay.
Is storing hockey only donewith that?
Is it only done with tying itin a rope?
Because Oda is a madman Fromday one?
The One Piece logo has had thisrandom rope in it From day one.

(01:13:21):
It can't.
We tell you there's no wastewith odah, right?
It can't be coincidence.
This man is a madman.
So let me ask you is hockeyonly stored?
Can you only tie it in a knot,or can you put hockey and other
objects and items?

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
I'm pretty sure you can put hockey and other objects
and items, for example Zoro'sOdin sword, the sword, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
I guess, when you store it, when you store hockey,
why a knot?
Why a knot in a rope?

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
And then, you know, when Nami was in her 2D 3Y arc
where she was with the weatherpeople, he showed her the knots.
If you turn a knot it'll turnlike a storm and other stuff.
We kind of saw a concept of itduring that time.

(01:14:16):
That was interesting.
He was like oh well, yeah, youcan just store a hockey in there
.
To the One Piece logo.
I'm about to pull it up, right.
Yeah, you can just store ahockey in there, I mean, but to
the One Piece logo.
I'm about to pull it up rightnow so I can just look at it
again.

Speaker 1 (01:14:28):
From day one that rope has been there.

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
It probably means something, bro.
Come on, man, it's Oda.
It's Oda, and I feel like hesaid something like oh, people
don't realize, there's somethingin the One Piece logo.
I do remember him saying that.
He said something like that.
He's like, oh, nobody figuredit out yet.
And we're like what Is it Luffy?
Is it the anchor Is?

Speaker 1 (01:14:51):
it the stone.
No one was like rope Rope.
No one thought rope.

Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
What if this isn't the only rope that Joy Boy tied
and left to people, only ropethat joy boy tied up and left
the people?
Yo, what if, like, three otherpeople got this rope, or like
it's just there?
We've clearly seen that it can.

Speaker 1 (01:15:12):
It can wait 800 years it wouldn't say there ain't any
other ones out there itwouldn't surprise me if he gave
one to the meeks.
I guarantee that it's probablyone on one, oh somewhere if he
gave it to the Meeks.

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
I guarantee you that it's probably one on one
somewhere.
If he gave it to the Meeks, theMeeks should have used it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
I mean, it's been a long time, maybe they don't
remember.

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
I hope so, because if I was one of them and I was
like y'all had this and youdidn't use it, with that, demon
and his army came andslaughtered us all because of
your homeboy who was there.

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
I should have told him.
I should have told him ally'all, you could have knocked
them all out.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
Yeah, I would have been pissed bro.

Speaker 1 (01:15:51):
And you know, we see a silhouette of Joy Boy and it
looks like.
I don't know if it's clear, butpeople are saying it looks like
Joy Boy has a peg leg and maybea fake arm.

Speaker 2 (01:16:01):
I mean, maybe you can clear, but people are saying
looks like joy boy has a peg legand maybe a fake, a fake arm
the arm.
Maybe you can't really tellwith the silhouette.

Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
Yeah, I don't know you know, I think the leg might
be true with the arm.
I think that's just perspectiveon like, but um yeah, I mean,
he's just skinny bro.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
I don't know like we gotta see more.
He clearly don't want us toknow everything yet, but oh look
, we're gonna.
When we ever see joy boy, we'regonna look back at the
silhouette and be like he wastrying to tell us something let
me ask you this yeah, how big isthe robot compared to the
giants?
I think.
I think they're the same size.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
I think he's the size of a giant in that, in that
flashback I don't know to memaybe I can go back looks like
joy boy is smaller than thegiant, than the, than the robot
oh, he's like significantlysmaller.

Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
Okay, then why?

Speaker 1 (01:16:53):
is his straw hat.

Speaker 2 (01:16:54):
Well, I mean, I don't know that's maybe it's not joe
boy straw maybe that's not astraw hat, you know or maybe
there's something about theStraw Hat that it can expand in
size, like we don't know.
We don't know nothing about it,bro, because like and we also
don't know like Joy Boy could bea Buccaneer, like you can't
really tell from the way it wasdrawn how big Joy Boy is, but we

(01:17:19):
just know Joy Boy's not a giant, so yeah but we just know joe
boy's not a giant.

Speaker 1 (01:17:26):
So yeah, the, the, the other two things I want to
ask you about when we're closingup egghead.
One was in in in vega punk'sspeech.
He says like the world beshaped by, you know whoever
finds the one piece?
I mean this panel, what,basically?
What is telling us?
These are the last, these arethe, the, the contenders.
So one of these people is goingto find the one piece and I?

(01:17:50):
Just what did you think aboutthat?
You know there's one mysteryperson in there, but, like
everyone who's in there, we getit.
Like kobe saying luffy, youhave to like stop your dream,
because I guess he has to findthe one piece.
Kobe, little Crybaby, kobe islike top contender to find the
one piece.
We're at this point.
What do you think about that?

Speaker 2 (01:18:12):
Bruh.
Honestly, my first thought waslike we're getting to the end of
the story.
That was my first thought I waslike okay, let's take note
right now of who these folks are, because the rest of this is
about them and what's about tohappen and it's about to go down

(01:18:32):
.
That's really what came up.
It was just like oh, this isactually wrapping up.
He's finally getting towardsthe end of the story.

Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
Was anyone in there?
I mean, he had the fouremperors, he had Akainu, kobe
Sabo, who am I leaving out?
There was the mystery person.
Who was that?
Dragon was in there.
Emu Dragon, so there might beeverybody.

(01:19:01):
Who do you pick is going gonnafind the one piece, because I
think I, I think I know easy,it's easy to say luffy will find
one piece, but I'm like what?
Is the answer but what if he?

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
does it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
What if it's not luffy?
What if it's not luffy?

Speaker 2 (01:19:16):
mark, just humor me.
I will, I will entertain you,but I gotta say this there's not
a lot of things I'm confidentin life, but okay, I will say
the one thing I'm very.
I'm confident in two things,alright.
One, my faith.
Two taxes will always exist.

(01:19:37):
But the third thing I'm veryconfident in is that Luffy will
be king of the pirates.
Alright, I am so.
I I like the sky is blue is howI believe Luffy will be the
pirates.
You know what I'm saying?
Like he's going to be the kingof the pirates.
Now, to entertain you, my betis absolutely Buggy, absolutely

(01:20:01):
Buggy.
I actually think Buggy mightfind it before Luffy, or Buggy
will be there with Luffy.
Buggy might be the lastcrewmate.
And finally, like sees LaughTale before Shanks, something
wild.
But yeah, buggy would be myBesides Luffy, he'd be my second
choice.
What about you?

Speaker 1 (01:20:22):
I mean, yeah, mean, I , I think it's going to be luffy
, I want it to be luffy, but I Ithrow this at you would luffy
give up finding the one piece if, if it meant saving his crew,
if he was in a situation where,like he can go, the one piece is
right there, he can grab it, hecan, he can claim it, whatever
it is, or he goes left.

(01:20:43):
He would never pick anythingover saving his crew.
And that's what I'm saying.
Like if we get a situationwhere Luffy's like it's not
worth it, I'm saving my crew.
That's the only reason why Ithink someone else could claim
it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
Giving up for the moment to save the crew is one
thing, but he won't stop and hiscrew won't have him stop going
after it.
So it might stop him in thatmoment, but he's never going to
give it up completely.
I got you, I got you and hiscrew are so ride or die.
We talked about this.
The crew is so ride or die.

Speaker 1 (01:21:18):
They're like what are you doing?
Go get the one piece.

Speaker 2 (01:21:23):
They will put themselves out of commission to
make sure Luffy can go get theone piece.
So yeah, I think he'lleventually get it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
But he may not be the first one to get it.
Let me ask you this who is thismystery?
Man or woman?
We don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
But who's this mystery person?
Well, we know.
They got the same sword asShank.
As shanks I think it's shankstwin brother.
Like I think it's the leader ofthe, the now new leader of the
holy knights.
Like shanks brother or cousinor someone that looked like
shank, that's probably as nastyas shanks.

(01:21:58):
And because the current leaderof the holy knights is old,
there's probably a youngwhippersnapper who is leading
the holy knights and that'sgonna be the person that sabo or
a dragon have to go against soyeah you know now the, the
celestial dragons and likethere's been some pushback

(01:22:20):
against this.

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
I don't know how it plays in the anime, but you and
I talk about this.
When shanks goes to talk to thegorusei, we never see his scar
side of his face.
Oda likes to play games.
We never see the scar side ofhis face.
I I don't remember how it playsout in the anime, I haven't
gone back to that, but in themanga at least we never see the

(01:22:42):
scars.

Speaker 2 (01:22:44):
So that would be wild , though, if you think about it,
that shanks has a whole asstwin that rocks his hair and
goatee just like his, hisinfamous pirate brother.
Like that can't be that.

Speaker 1 (01:23:06):
But, bro, like we've talked about this, Like, why is
Shanks just rolling up to Ruiz?

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
Like why, is he just walking in and talking to the
guards?
It would make so much sense ifit wasn't Shanks.

Speaker 1 (01:23:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
Because that makes no sense if you think about it
Like what is shanks like?

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
what business does he have there with them?
If it's?

Speaker 2 (01:23:28):
not his twin brother.
It's the one thing that'sconfusing about shanks.
Yeah you think about everythingelse.
Shanks does you're like, okay,there's probably something to it
, but it's the one thing, likeyo, how can he just walk up in
there and there be norepercussions, and so it be it.
Not being him in the firstplace makes a lot of sense.

Speaker 1 (01:23:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:23:48):
Makes a lot of sense.
So that.

Speaker 1 (01:23:50):
And then the last thing, man, before we wrap up, I
want to ask you who is thissilhouette of this person who I
assume is on Elbaf saying comeon then to the I assume, assume
the straw hat to whoever wantsto come to elbaf.
Who?
Who is this?

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
the only thing I think it is like I I'm sure is
is in one random cover story Ithink it was like decks of the
world or something like thatcrocus was talking to some
mystery character who wasdrinking and had like a wano
style straw hat on and it looksjust like whoever this person is

(01:24:32):
.
So I think it's whoever it isis cool with crocus, which
probably means it's a good guy,and it might even mean it's
somebody that was on rogers crew, do you so?

Speaker 1 (01:24:45):
you think p?
I've heard things people sayit's um.
Who's the other?
The only other guy to escapefrom?
Impel down shiki.
Yeah, do you think it's him?

Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
I didn't.
I don't know much about shiki.
I don't think it's shiki.
I mean, it probably looks a lotlike Sheiky, but I think it was
somebody on Roger's crew.

Speaker 1 (01:25:04):
Because we.
Why would Sheiky be?

Speaker 2 (01:25:06):
cool with Crocus.

Speaker 1 (01:25:08):
I don't know.
So we've only seen Sheiky in amovie and the movies aren't
canon.
So I don't know what Odaintends to do with Sheiky.
I don't know.
I have no idea who this is.
I have no idea who this personis.
We're not going to find outsoon.

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
I know some of you all who are reading this and
you're like can't wait till nextweek so I can know who that
person is.
Oda will either immediatelytell us or what I think we won't
know until Luffy is about toget beat up by whoever the big
bad is, and he shows up and it'slike not to him and we're like

(01:25:52):
oh, it's so and so, and then weget a long backstory.
That's what I think is going tohappen.

Speaker 1 (01:25:58):
I mean, and then you know, we get Lilith saying that
you know, well, she's liketechnically, because Luffy's
kind of upset, he couldn't sayVegapunk, she's like, well,
technically he did, I'm Vegapunk, you know.
And there was a line, I don'tknow if it was Sanji or Usopp,
but she's like aren't you theevil one?

Speaker 2 (01:26:18):
Like, yeah, aren't you the evil one?
And it looks like the otherparts of Vegapunk are merging
into her, so she's now going tobe yeah, it's like she is now
the new Vegapunk, so that'spretty interesting and we're
going to need to find out whathappens with Kuma and Bonnie.
So we're like almost, we'realmost done, because I think one

(01:26:42):
of them is going to be a strawhat, the Vega Punk, the Bonnie
somebody.
If it's not going to be any ofthem, then who knows?

Speaker 1 (01:26:51):
One Piece has a history of these like honorary
straw hats, these like strawhats for like you know, like
Carrot you know and stuff likeyou know, they're just down for
the crew and then when they getto a point they go do their own
thing.
So you know, we never know.
But yeah, man, we've got somegood stuff coming our way.

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
Yeah, and we'll probably have another one of
these pretty soon, cause we'regoing to see what's going on in
Marie Joie.
Elbaf is going to start and westill need to find out who Croc
is and Robin.
We still got to find out whoRobin is.

Speaker 1 (01:27:26):
Yeah, robin.
And speaking of Robin, I'mexcited in the manga to see
Because she needs some joy inher life.
Robin, reunion with Saul, wecan all use a little bit of that
, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:27:40):
I just hope it's not riddled with trauma and mystery,
because odin's like I know youwant to see that and you gotta
earn it I just don't want thatso but anything else, brother,
before we wrap up nah, man, Imean you get.

Speaker 1 (01:27:59):
Look, I'll say this.
I'll say this I think I said itbefore on this show if you were
thinking about getting into OnePiece, now is the time to get
into One Piece, because once wefind out what the One Piece is,
you'll never have thisexperience again.
You'll never be able toexperience an anime like this
again.
There will never be anythinglike One Piece ever again.

(01:28:23):
One piece started in a timewhere you can make these 300,
400, 500, 600 episode animeshave these long arcs.
Anime is very streamlinednowadays.
Stories are very streamlinednowadays.
There are there are animes thathave started years after one
piece has started and are nowdone.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
Mha just ended, folks inspired by one piece are now
like oh my goodness stuff,because of this, I want to do
manga.
Then they go, do the manga,then the manga is amazing and
they have stopped and one pieceis still going.
What is that, bro?

Speaker 1 (01:29:02):
there.
There's a great I don't know ifyou've seen the meme of like
regular show and there's the.
It has all the regular showpeople and it has um, bent skips
, skips, is immortal, so it'llbe like bleach, naruto, all this
and skips.
It says one piece, right, andthen it goes and it has all
these gravestones and skips isstill there and it says one
piece, now what the meme hasdone.
So it has all these gravestonesand Skips is still there and it

(01:29:23):
says One Piece, now what thememe has done.
So it has all those gravestonesand Skips and there's another
one and there's another Skipsnext to Skips, and it says One
Piece, one Piece remake, bothnext to each other, and all
these other animes are dead.

Speaker 2 (01:29:43):
You know what's crazy , mark?
There are still folks out thereI used to be one of these folks
.
There are still folks out therewho have never watched One
Piece and are like I don't getwhat's going on.
Why in the world are theyremaking an anime?
That's still going on and theyjust have no idea, and little do

(01:30:03):
they know that if you watch onepiece or if you read one piece,
you know that that makescomplete sense and they should
absolutely do it and you'regonna watch it.
Yeah, even though you watched athousand episodes of the other
one, you're still excited towatch this new one that's wild,
wild bro.

Speaker 1 (01:30:22):
I saw a video and I was like yo, this dude is
spicking facts.
It was like one of those what'syour anime hot take?
And it was like One Piece isn'ttoo long.
When people say One Piece istoo long, it's cap, because you
watch three different series ofNaruto, you watch this, this and
this, you watch DBZ.

(01:30:43):
When you add it all together,it's just as long as One Piece.
I was like yo, it's pickingfacts.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
I'm telling you, if it was One Piece East Blue, one
Piece New World, one Piece GrandLine, if they broke it up to
three different series it wouldhave been a lot more, that's.
Dragon Ball.
That's Dragon Ball I.
Three different series, it'd bemore.
It would have been a lot more.
That's dragon ball.
Yeah, that's dragon ball.
So yeah, it, that's I.

(01:31:08):
I 100 agree with that.
