One Piece: The Xtreme Review (Part 3: From Fishman Island to Egghead Island)

A fake Straw Hat crew scams Sabaody, a prophecy turns Fishman Island into a panic spiral, and a scientist’s cruelty on Punk Hazard lights the fuse for everything that follows. We walk the full post time skip road in One Piece, from the crew’s reunion and upgraded Haki to the arcs that reshape the New World power map. Along the way we talk about what actually sticks: Kuma’s last request, why Luffy’s “this is my territory” reads like protection instead of conquest, and how alliances in a pirate world only work because Luffy treats them like friendship.

Then we hit the stretch where One Piece starts paying off years of setup. We break down why Caesar feels one-note compared to villains like Doflamingo, why Dressrosa’s toy curse is one of the scariest control systems in the series, and how Zou turns the story from island-hopping into a Road Poneglyph treasure hunt that forces the crew into conflict with Big Mom and Kaido. Whole Cake Island brings the emotional gut punches, from Sanji’s family trauma to the identity pressure behind Katakuri’s “perfect brother” mask.

Wano and Egghead are the endgame accelerator. We recap the raid, the Oden flashback, and the Gear 5 Joy Boy Nika reveal, then jump into Egghead where Vegapunk, CP0, Kizaru, the Five Elders, Kuma’s devastating history, and a global broadcast collide into one of the biggest lore dumps in anime.

Final Stretch Of The Stream Review

SPEAKER_02 0:01

Alright, we are in our final leg of the One Piece stream review. Once we get current in what the series ends. So we are back at

Return To Sabaody After Two Years

SPEAKER_02 0:15

it. Nar, thank you for joining me once again. Uh let's go ahead and get started with the return to Sabouty. Where the gang training for two years, they finally decided to go ahead and win go ask about. And while they're trying to find each other, there's this fake group of straw hats that's you know taken advantage of the straw hats um this disappearance of the straw hats ends up dealing with them and they end up regrouping and thankfully to uh Duvall and someone else I think it was Jembe, I don't know. Uh the thousand sunning was able to be kept safe for the past two years. But yeah, it's kind of funny when I first watched The Return to Sabody where you're seeing Luffy going around um, you know, in his little coat, and it's all mysterious and whatnot, but you see these fake uh straw hats, and I gotta say just like some interesting designs. But what's even more interesting is that uh the voice actors for the fake straw hats like kind of got them jumbled up. So like say for instance the fake loopy uh voice actor is the same person does Sandy and such as that. And oh yeah, while they dealt with the uh fake straw empires, it's also a whole bunch of uh pacifista, you know, uh pretty much robotic clones of uh Kuma uh Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma excusa me and unlike last time when they um Kuma this time with the pacifista thing turned out very differently to their favor, and it's also this weird looking guy uh with the tongue and whatnot that he's gonna uh matter a little bit more when we get to the next part. But yeah. Son of the strong hat party got well, not some button. I wanna say with the strong hats, they got new designs. Well, with Luffy, he got this X on his chest now. Uh Zoro got only one eye, but we'll explain the reason behind that um later down the line. Uh Nani has grown. Uh Robin. I think I don't know. I like the new design. Uh uh some people uh more per prefer old design, especially with uh skin tone, but I don't know, I like it. I like it. Uh Frankie, I think the only real difference is that he keeps changing his hairstyles every now and then. Uh chopper, he got a new hat. Uh Usopp got some new drip. Uh Saji, not most different from Saji. Uh Brooke got some new drip, and that's pretty much all I got. Uh Denaro, uh, you got anything on this section of One Piece?

SPEAKER_06 3:27

Well, with when they got got back to starting, you know, everyone was protecting it. It's like Kuma um was also one of the ones protecting it. That was like one his one request when they were like, We're gonna turn you fully into this pacifista thing. He was like, Okay, I have you know, the one request to remain and protect the ship until one of the members showed up. And this, like, as soon as I'm pretty sure it was actually Zoro who showed up first, wasn't it? Surprisingly.

SPEAKER_02 4:03

He was the person who showed the ship, but yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 4:06

And then of course he went off and got lost as as he does. Um, but yeah, it's like, no, he shows up and Kuma was there, and like he, you know, was like mission complete or whatever and walks off. And then um, but yeah, so it's like yeah, Kuma was was also very instrumental in making sure that the Thousand Sunny was there when the straw hats got back, and um and it was just like oh, you know, the he had just had that one request and then he went off and became just a machine basically that just followed orders and just like, oh dude, like I know you're doing this for a reason, but holy fuck, why?

SPEAKER_00 4:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 4:50

Um and yeah, the whole thing with the fake straw hats and stuff. And I didn't realize that about the the voice actors that they just you know used Sanji's voice actor for Luffy and all and stuff like that. I didn't I didn't that that never occurred to me. That's pretty awesome, actually. Um and just like you know, they're in the bar and stuff, and the the Nami was there first, and they're like, Oh, you know, she's pretty hot, maybe she should see if she wants to join or whatever. Like the fake ones were saying that, and like they come over and like, hey, why don't you come join us? And she's like, No, thank you. I'm waiting for someone. And they're like, I don't think you understand. Do you not know who this is? And it's just like, oh my god, you guys, how did you do your research so poorly that you can't? I mean, obviously she's changed, but holy shit, how can you not tell who the fuck you're talking to? It's like, oh my god, and then Usopp shows up and Naomi gives him a big hug, smothering him in the process, and he's like,

Fake Straw Hats And Pacifista Threat

SPEAKER_06 5:48

I can't breathe. And just then, you know, them just taking out those guys is like, yeah, no, you fake straw hats, y'all done fucked up.

SPEAKER_02 6:00

I like how when fake Luffy was trying to uh harass the real Luffy, and he just pretty much blew them away with his conqueror's hockey. I was like, Man, you're gonna get the fuck out of my face.

SPEAKER_06 6:14

Yup, it's like, yeah, no, that was never stood a chance.

SPEAKER_00 6:20

Like, damn.

SPEAKER_06 6:21

And just like, and oh, just like how stupid do they are these these, you know, fake straw hats? Because like, what the fuck were you thinking? Like, it's like anyone that you know actually tried to if they tried to fight him or whatever, then quickly see, hey, this person's not worth this high of a bounty. Who the fuck are you?

SPEAKER_02 6:44

I mean, honestly, I feel like the people, like general people, probably wouldn't even take them seriously. Because think about if they're such a high bounty pirate, you would think they would be captured by now. Yeah, or like why yeah, because they clearly you guys aren't the strawhead pirates, so why would we arrest y'all? Y'all not the real ones, mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_06 7:11

And then when um uh what's that uh one guy's name? He was like he's the one that controls the pacifistas after the time skip.

SPEAKER_02 7:25

What's what's what's his name? Dang.

SPEAKER_06 7:32

Yeah, anyways, whatever his name is, um that's in control of the pacifistas. Um he was like at first he was like, Oh, the these are the straw hats, like they seem you know different, but whatever. And then it's like the you know, the pacifistas scan them and they're like, Well, one of the straw hats is here, but it ain't them. Because that was when Luffy was there and still still in that with that giant backpack in the in that ridiculous disguise. And it's like and it's just like, yeah, no, no, the it's just like especially when you get the machines involved, it's like, yeah, no, you're not fooling a machine, like that's that has you know that scanning capability and whatnot. It's like it knew right away, you know, oh there is straw hat is here, it's not whoever the fuck this is, but it's and it doesn't actually say who who the guy actually was and he was some just like small little from I don't remember, but didn't didn't the pacifista like say this is so-and-so, not not um, you know, Straw Hat Luffy.

SPEAKER_02 8:39

Um I think it was either Bandermonken or Holy Jones from the next art.

SPEAKER_00 8:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 8:50

Um, because yeah, because it's like, and then the the guy that's in charge of pacifists pulls out you know this book of the I think unless I'm remembering wrong, it pulls out like a book basically of like wanted posters and is like, oh, here's his wanted poster. He's only worth this much, he's not worth our time. Like, but um, but yeah, no, just and just it's just the I you know you gotta wonder, like I understand, you know, wanting to pretend to be these big, you know, bad pirates and stuff and use their cred and whatnot, but it's like you gotta have something there to back it up. Like they these guys are just so weak. It's like what was the plan for if someone actually did come try to capture you, like a bounty hunter or whatever? Like, what was the what was the plan here? Like, I just did you was there a plan, or were you just gonna, you know, hope that no one showed up to actually call you on your ship?

SPEAKER_00 9:51

Right.

SPEAKER_06 9:52

Uh but yeah, no, it's like it's like, yeah, it was just yeah. And with the the the changes, didn't wasn't uh Frankie freaking like bulked himself out as a cyborg and whatnot, like because before he was still um he was he was pr he was pretty small before, like he obviously still you know bigger than most of the crew, but compared to what he looked like after the time skip, he definitely definitely was changes there, aside from just adding in you know other stuff and whatnot.

SPEAKER_02 10:30

Like but um sorry, I just think the guy that you're talking about was called Centomoro. I actually had to look this guy up.

SPEAKER_06 10:41

Yeah, that's the guy. That's the one. Yep. I heard yep, as soon as you said the name, I'm like, that was it, that's right. Yeah, that's sent tomorrow, yes, yes. Um he was the one that became like in charge of the whole pacifist as like you know, controlling them or whatever. He wasn't the one that made them, he was just the one that was in charge of using them for their you know intended purpose of hunting pirates down and whatnot. Right. And yeah, yeah, since yeah, the yep, like as soon as he said the name, I'm like, yeah, that's that's the one, that's what it was. So, but yeah, no, he was just like, he was like, these guys aren't the straw hats, they're pathetic and whatever, and then the pacifists that confirmed it, it's like, yeah, no, no, definitely not them.

New Crew Designs And Kuma’s Choice

SPEAKER_06 11:38

Oh yeah, and then they get in the whole, you know, the chase scene and stuff where the straw hats are trying to get away on the thousand sunny after it's been um coated with the with the special coating stuff that allows it to travel underwater, which that would be so fucking cool. Like, I know we got submarines and shit, but like imagine just being on a ship, like an old-fashioned ship under the water, and just being able to like you know, see out and everything and everything around you, like that would be so fucking cool. Because on the submarine, you go you get got the portholes, that's about as far as you can see without like cameras and stuff. But it's like if you know we had that ship coating technology, that would be so fucking cool, right? Like definitely terrifying because you know there's so much in the o in our oceans we haven't, you know, even found yet, and stuff we're still finding that's like that is terrifying, but it would still be cool to see.

SPEAKER_01 12:46

And it just makes me wonder like what exactly is down there since most of the ocean is undiscovered.

SPEAKER_06 12:53

It's like we've discovered more of space than we have of the ocean, like it's like damn, and we haven't even seen all that much of space. So it's just like it's just like imagining you know what it would be like to be on just like a normal ship, but underwater and still able to, you know, not die. Of course, then you know you want to make sure nothing pops the pops the coating, because then I mean, then you're fucked, you're you're dead.

SPEAKER_02 13:20

Yeah, water resting in.

SPEAKER_06 13:23

But like, but yeah, no, and then the the fact that they were also able to um like it's it's it's a bubble basically, but it's a pretty sturdy one because they were able to you know catch fish and whatnot through it without it popping. So it's like it's like that would be pretty that'd be pretty cool. Definitely wish that was an actual thing. But alas, alas, animes are just not gonna happen, unfortunately. So yeah, so then then they just they you know, after that they they take off and then I'll uh oh have you words are not wording today. Um but yeah, so as far as like on the island and stuff, I think that's because it's it's like it a lot happened, but they weren't there very long. And it's like it's like it was it was it was very quick thing.

SPEAKER_02 14:31

Yeah, it was uh quite article.

SPEAKER_06 14:34

Very much so, very much so. But um, and then you know, um Rayleigh came and saw them saw them off and whatnot, and and Luffy's like, hey, you know, thanks for thanks for these last couple years, last two years and stuff, and I'm definitely gonna become the Pirate King, and just like and just like bidding him, you know, thank thanking him for training him and whatnot, and just being like, I will do my best to live up to your expectations and whatnot, and just like, yeah. And then of course the pacifists are like um Silver King Rayleigh is here, it's like shit. He's like, Well, now's my time to go.

SPEAKER_02 15:16

Right, like, oops, time to skeet outle.

SPEAKER_06 15:19

Yep, yep, because yeah, no, it's like if they were like saying, you know, if Luffy was that much of a threat, it's like Silver King's Rayleigh, the one who fucking trained Luffy all these these couple years, and who's on the fucking Pirate Kings crew is here. What the fuck? It's like, yeah, I know they they was like, then you know, obviously he had to go because then he was being chased at the same time, and it's like, yeah, it's like it was just it was just that that little moment between him and Luffy where Luffy just like hey, thanks for everything and stuff, and like yeah, yep. And then yeah, yeah, like like like we were saying, there it was like a lot happened, but in it happened in like no time. So but yeah, so that was that was so so and I can never say it right. Sa body, so body, I and it's like everyone says it differently too. It's like uh but yeah, yeah, yep.

SPEAKER_02 16:28

Alright, that's about it for return to Sabaudi.

Fishman Island Politics And Prejudice

SPEAKER_02 16:32

Let's go ahead and roll right into Fishman Island. Now, as the Trollhead pirates finally reach Fishman Island after their journey through the underwater sea, they are initially welcome, but soon find themselves entangled with local conflicts. We have the whole rebellion led by Holdy Jones, uh, who's this militant fisherman uh leading the rebellion against the ruling royal family seeking to take control of the island, and his hatred for humans fuels his actions causing this major conflict. While the Straw Hats, alongside Jinbei and other allies, they confront Hody Jones and his army. This battle highlights the Straw Hats evolved abilities after their two-year training, and Luffy defeats Hody and restores peace to Fitchman Island. He also declares Fitchman Island as his territory, promising to protect it in the future. See, this is what I'm talking about, Sinara. When we were talking about earlier in previous parts, where Luffy doesn't really need to aspire for world domination. If anything, it's more like world liberations, where okay, we came to this island, we pretty much got rid of the bad guy that's giving me all problems. And from now on, this is gonna be our territory. If anybody have any problems, they can content on the straw hats, and you know, the whole ramp leading everything. So that's what my whole series where at this point. Uh, if Luffy does become King of the Pirates, everybody's just gonna let him do it because he just comes off as such a solid dude. It's like people want him to succeed and whatnot. Like they don't all want like okay, I'm gonna mention this in punk hazard, but Luffy is just too good of a dude sometimes. Almost like he's trustworthy to a fault. But I'll I'll explain why we're gonna get the punk hazard. Uh some new characters that introduced to this art that I want to mention, at least some characters worth noting to me. Uh I already mentioned Hody Jones, uh, who's this brutal fishman and former soldier of the Neptune army who becomes the primary antagonist of this art. He believes in the superiority of fishmen over humans, and he uses energy steroids to enhance his strength, which ultimately leads to a downfall. We have Vanderdecken, excuse me, excuse me. I don't think like Vandermacken. But Vander Deccan the Ninth, who's a fishman with the power of the Markmark group, which allows him to throw objects that will uh hone in on the target. Obsessed with Mary and Princess Shirohoshi, he becomes an ally of Hodi and his teams. Uh, there's Kukoboshi, Riboshi, and Momboshi, the three princes of the Ryugu Kingdom, known collectively as the Neptune Brothers. They're strong warriors who fight bravely to protect their home from Hodi's rebellion. And then we have the princess herself, Shirohoshi, where she's the giant murk of the kingdom and the ancient weapon Poseidon. Despite her intimidature, she plays a vital role in resolving the conflict of Bisman Island. And I like how, once again, with Luffy, uh, he has to prove himself in front of a woman. How I don't think we trust you. And then uh this this time around, all Luffy had to do is save Shiro Hosi from this axe that uh Vander Decken threw at her just because he was just mad that uh Shiro Hoshi rejected him once again. And I was like, Well, fuck you too, bitch. I'm gonna throw an axe at her, and then Luffy caught it like, oh well, that's all I need to know that I can trust you. But uh Tanara, how are you feeling about Fishman Island?

SPEAKER_06 20:38

Um, it was it was I always forget how long this one was too. Like it didn't seem like it was all that long, but it was a lot, it was a lot of fucking yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:48

Now I I'm gonna I'm gonna admit, uh Fishman Island and Punk Hazard, this was the section of one piece where I felt like uh when it's ah man, like okay, okay, okay, hold on. To be fair, like we had Enz

Hody Jones And Luffy’s New Power

SPEAKER_02 21:06

lobbying, Marine Port and all the other shit before the time skip. So that was great and all. But for some reason it just felt so slow. Like, are we still here in this part? What the fuck's going on?

SPEAKER_06 21:20

Uh at least it's not as bad as fucking Dress of Rosa. That one, drug.

SPEAKER_02 21:28

I mean, yeah, that one was super long, but then again, like the whole the only thing that song kept me invested with Dress Rosa was uh the whole thing with Dolphy. So it was it was almost like okay. It was like okay, at least something like was popping off in that one. With these two arcs, I'm like, okay, I've gone on. Like uh Benchman Island, I'm not gonna discount them that badly. It's just yeah, like by the time you get to Later art, it just feels like eh. Well, you know, it just felt like semi-filler. Like it was important to the plot, but I don't know. It just like even going back into the review, it just felt like, eh, I don't feel like most of what happened was thick, except Punk Hazard, where I'll explain it in a bit, but uh Punk Hazard um sets up a bunch of things, but Fishman Island just felt more like, yeah, just uh okay, they just happen to finally cross uh red line, like they're now into the new world. Um essentially figuring out uh okay, we came to this island and there's problems, so let's just go ahead and handle it then. Uh-oh. It's like a pit stop in their grand journey, and it's not really filler, but it felt like filler.

SPEAKER_06 23:03

Yeah, I mean, like like you said, it did set up a lot of stuff, like the conflict with Big Mom and whatnot. Because it, you know, it used to be under black or no, uh, under Whitebeard's control. And I don't I don't remember, I don't think he actually asked anything of them to protect them, did he? No, like he just won't like, and you know, by the same reason as Blue Beard's like, you know, I'm not asked for anything, you know, I'm just gonna Yeah, unlike, you know, because then after after Whitebeard died, you know, Big Mom went and take and took over it and you know demanded candies from them in order to continue to protect them and whatnot, and that was a huge taxing thing on them. Um, and then Luffy, you know, was like, no, you know what, fuck this. This is my island now. I'm gonna eat all this candy and say, fuck big mom to her face, face. I mean, not to her face, but directly through a Den Den Mushi. He was like, This island is under my control now, bitch. It's like, damn. Like, he didn't give a fuck that she was one of the four emperors. Like that, that he didn't he didn't give a fuck about that. He was just like, no, this island is under my protection now. You leave them alone. I'm eating these candies they've been making for you. They are my candy now, mine. Like, like, bring them, dude. And again, like with Whitebeard, he didn't ask any, you know, any protection money or anything, basically. Um, but yeah, and then you know, back back towards the beginning, we have the uh caribou brothers or whatever. Those guys are fucking annoying. I was so pissed to see them again in Wano. I was like, what the fuck are you doing here? Go the fuck away. I was like, oh my god. I was I was not expecting I didn't I had no idea until I got to that episode in in the in Wano when he showed up. I was like, what the fuck? Come on. But like they show up because they they had stowed away on the Straw Hat's boat, and then they immediately start causing you know chaos on the mermaid on the Fishman Island by kidnapping the mermaids to sell them. And it's like it's just like oh god, yeah. Was I'm not a big fan of the caribou brothers. They're just they're they're creepy and slimy and just go away. Um but and then of course people think that you know, because these are the newest pirates to show up, they're obviously the ones that are doing all this shit, and then um all the stuff with m uh Madam Charlie, the the psych or the uh psychic clairvoyant, like she can see the you know, she sees visions of what's gonna happen and stuff, and she sees that one of Luffy, you know, amidst you know, the island on flames, and she was like, This boy is going to destroy the island. And it's like, mmm.

SPEAKER_02 26:07

Ah no, misconception right here.

Prophecy Misreads And Trust Issues

SPEAKER_06 26:10

It's like it's like that's that's a problem with like any any you know future vision stuff is you don't know for sure, you don't know what leads up to that, you don't know the context around it. All you see is someone surrounded by you know Fishman Island on fire, and it's like that's I mean it makes sense because it's like how else are you supposed to think of that? Because that's you know, but it's like it's normal.

SPEAKER_02 26:38

Uh you know what? I'm gonna go ahead and say it. Uh, since uh I'm probably never gonna uh mention it naturally at this point, but it reminds me of how I'm hearing about Wizard Where Woodplays having this reboot, right? And season, like during the season for now, there's like this whole uh prophecy that the main character is gonna end up destroying um the wizard world. But in actuality, it was meant to set up those where she's supposed to save the wizard world, but it looks so ambiguous because the way it was like uh foreseen, especially with the way uh it was depicted in this little um picture that they had of her, and it looked like she was gonna be on the story of the um Wizard World, but that wasn't the case. In fact, it's also the same thing with Wednesday, season one, where she's fighting Joseph Crestone, the main character, the main villain from the first season, and the way she was drawn by the um person who can see the future. It was drawn to make it look like she was gonna end up destroying the school, but the athlete saved the school. So that's a kind of problem with suitsayers, these clairvoyance and whatnot. They kind of fake you out, making you think that oh, they're gonna end up ruining everything, but natural, oh, they just made everything better. But that's the thing. That's uh funny thing about it, it's like saying that change can be scary. So the fact that here comes this person um introducing a big change to how things are, they assume that the change is gonna be bad. So they just kind of assume that go ahead.

SPEAKER_06 28:27

It's like in in in canto as well, you know. Um, Bruno has that vision of Mirabelle in front of the crumbling um house, and everyone assumes, you know, he he assumes that that means she's going to destroy the magic when it's really like, you know, they that's it's it turns out that there is a double, you know, if you depending on which way you looked the vision, it was either her in front of a crumbling house or her in front of a house, you know, with the candle burning stronger than ever. And so it's like it's that same sort of situation. Like it's it's depends on, you know, yeah. So it's like it's it's just like that, like you said, that's the problem with any of the sort of sous-sayer, clairvoyant, whatever people. It's like you never know what is actually going on there, you just see you know that one bit, and it's like it could be anything that's going on there, right? So, but but yeah, it's like, yeah, no, it's it's you know, and you know, because Madam Charlie was like, he's going to destroy the island, the whole island is like, well, we obviously gotta get rid of them. It's like and so they're you know being chased on like two fronts, basically, the the you know, the regular islanders and then the the uh the bad guys and stuff, and it's like like they just didn't could not catch a break. It was just like it was just one thing after another. So it's like but um, but yeah, no, and then the you know, Luffy, like you said, the way Luffy proved to Shirahoshi that hey, you know, I'm not here to be a bad guy or whatever, to be to hurt you or anything was when he he saved her from that axe that got through from fucking Vander. What was it again? Vanderdel De Deccan, yeah, Vander Deccan the Knight. Yeah, it's like and just his his whole obsession with Shirahoshi is just creepy as fuck, and just like it's just like just let this poor girl live her life. Like she's been had to be shut in that tower because he kept throwing shit at her, and it's like it's just like dude, she's just I mean, I don't I don't remember what her age was, but I know she was young, so it's like she's just you know, she's a kid still, basically, just she wants to live her life, but she can't because you keep fucking throwing shit and whatnot and trying to it's just like I just felt I felt bad for her, and but and then yo.

SPEAKER_02 31:06

I I don't know if you watch this show called Letter Kinning,

Candy Tribute And Calling Out Big Mom

SPEAKER_02 31:12

but there's like uh the way they roast people, like I would roast the shit out of Van der Decken, but uh honestly I won't I wanna go ahead and get into punk hazard, but I'll just put it to you like this there's this one joke where uh they will call people 5'11, and to this day, I honestly don't exactly remember exactly what it means, but my own spin to it is where just imagine someone that's so self-complicate with themselves that they don't know if they want to be this or that. But Van der Decken, I feel like, bro, like you want to marry her, but you keep getting mad and start doing this childish shit whenever she just rejects you. So I feel like Vanderdecken's such a 5-11 character to where I'm like, do you want to get married to her or not? Because this is not how you act towards someone you want to be married to.

SPEAKER_06 32:07

Mm-hmm. And it's just like he, you know, it was he had that mindset of if I can't have you, no one can have you. And it's like that's just a fucking fucked up mindset to have.

SPEAKER_02 32:17

No, oh, you know what? That reminds me of um buddy that we're gonna review. Damn, I forgot his name already. Uh, you know, the guy from Hunter Pat of Notre Dame. Um I I think it started with F. You know, uh the priest guy. Prolo?

SPEAKER_06 32:35

Yeah, Prolo.

SPEAKER_02 32:36

Yeah, Prolo. I knew it would start an F with somebody. Um Prolo.

SPEAKER_06 32:40

Yeah, just like um Prolow.

SPEAKER_03 32:43

Yeah, like he wants to he noticed Esmeralda home strolling around the streets. It got his little pee-pee heart, and he wants to marry her, but she said no, like, oh, that's how you feel. How dare you, how dare you do it to me? You're gonna take responsibility for this. Like, marry me or die.

SPEAKER_06 33:05

Yep, and it's like that that whole his hellfire song, it's like, um, you know, be mine or you will burn. It's like, and you know, blaming her for his reaction to her. It's like, um like Beatra Maria, you know, I am a righteous man of my virtues, I am justly proud. Um, and and he's like, um it's he's and he like he fucking blames God. He's like, he made the devil so much stronger than the man. It's like, bro, what the fuck? You're a priest. What the fuck are you on about?

SPEAKER_02 33:42

Like you're you're blaming God for what he sees a beautiful woman for the first time, and he is like, oh damn, the devil made me do this.

SPEAKER_06 33:56

You yeah, no, it's just like it's just it's uh yeah. It's that whole mindset of you know, if I can't have you, no one can, and that means I gotta kill you. It's like the fuck, it's like they they they view them as nothing more than property, basically.

SPEAKER_02 34:18

Yeah, well, but yeah, no, and then I mean you know thankfully it didn't get darker than that, if you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_06 34:25

Yeah, exactly, exactly. Um, but yeah, and then you know they have that whole um scene on the um at at the square or whatever, and you know, the the straw has come flying in on a ship, but you know, Luffy is still missing, they don't know where he is, but they're like, we gotta, you know, do something about this ship. And then it's like, you know, Luffy ends up being inside that that poor, poor shark. Good god. Luffy beating it up from the inside, like, let me out, let me out. It's like, not yet, not yet. But yeah, and then like, um, you know, they're getting ready to execute uh Neptune and Shirohoshi. Um, you know, she she did she did great holding out for as long as she did, honestly, with everything going on, not calling Luffy out earlier. But it's like that's you know, she's like Luffy Senpai, and and it's like or no, Luffy Sama, not Senpai, my bad, uh you know, help. And you know, Luffy finally managed to get out of the out of what's the I can't remember the shark's name, out of the shark. And um, it's like it's just you you think you catch a glimpse of him, and and um uh Hordy is like sees and then just like it's just like something just vanished from there. Next thing Horty knows he's getting punched in the fucking face. It's like it's like oh that that that whole scene was just like goosebumps, and then you know, them taking out, figuring out how many each of them need to take out of all the you know the the bad fishermen and stuff, and then Luffy just goes and fucking conquer hockey's half of them down. It's like, well, I guess we have less to take care of than we thought. But just that that whole um, you know, Luffy do that was the first time I mean we saw him do it before at um at Marine Ford, but nothing like on this scale, and so it's like that's the first time we really see how much

Noah’s Crash And Growth Showcase

SPEAKER_06 36:34

he's improved his hockey while trap while you know trading under uh Rayleigh. And it's just like holy shit. And it's just that that battle is nice just because we got to see so much more of all of them, what they what they were able to accomplish in those two years. I mean, fucking Chopper is able to control his monster point now. Um, he can take the rumble ball and not worry about losing control. He he has control over his own monster, and it's like just and and just seeing all of their improvements over these the course of those two years is just it was a great way to do that, just having that big old battle and seeing everything. It was just it was it was that was that was probably my favorite part was just seeing how much they all grew.

SPEAKER_02 37:32

I really do appreciate how like once again, how we said before, like nobody in the straw house is really weak. It's like yeah, you have to monster trio, but even the weakling trio is capable on their own.

SPEAKER_06 37:49

Mm-hmm. Exactly. Like it's it's I mean they and even more so after the time skip. Like they they were very much the this the weak trio or the coward trio beforehand. Um, and they they could still hold their own, but nothing like after this, after the time skip. Like they they went through such intense training. I mean, we find out later on when we get you know glimpses of of their training, like fucking Usopp put on all that weight, and then that in the two years just shed it all and fucking became ripped as hell. It's like they they all went through so much transformation, and and yeah, it's like they are still, you know, they are still this the you know the the coward trio, but they can actually fucking take down on their own, because like a lot of the times before it was like a combined effort sort of situation, but it's like no, they in their own rights now are very much their own sort of hell to their enemies. Right, like it's just like yeah, like that that was like I said, that was probably my favorite part of this whole thing was just seeing just how much everyone has grown.

unknown 39:11

Right.

SPEAKER_06 39:14

Oh you know, the you know, um Deccan sends the fucking what was the name of that ship? The was it the the Eden or whatever? That that giant ship that the guys had been using as their headquarters, and the one that Vanderdecken sent to crush all of them, and Luffy had to like break the ship up while still fighting against Horty and whatnot. The that that that that giant ship. The one where Robin was like, I wonder if the water will turn red from all of our blood when the ship crushes us. I fucking love Robin's sense of humor. It's so dark, but it's just like, yes. It is very much her. But um, but yeah, no, the the the giant ship that um that Vanderdecken sends towards the island using his devil fruit power, and Luffy has to break it apart while simultaneously fighting off bad guys that are on that um in order to keep Noah, that's what it was. As in like Noah's Ark, that's right. Not not Eden. I knew it was some biblical thing, but I couldn't, I I forgot it was yeah, Noah, the Noah. Um and that whole thing just you know trying to break it apart before it can hit the the uh the island and squish because it was a it was a huge fucking ship. It would have crushed it would have squished the the majority of Fishman Island, and it's like so it's like he, you know, not only to protect his friends and whatnot, but to protect all these other innocent people that would have died, it had the ship hit the island and just you know using you know his his gatling to just break it apart and like yeah, saving everyone and whatnot, and finally taking out uh Horty. Like, yeah, it fish Fishman Island, like you said, like you said, it was sort of fillery-ish, but it also set up a lot of important stuff and showed us how much everyone's grown. So yeah, but yeah, I think that's that's about it for the Fishman Island, I think, as far as what I have to say about it.

SPEAKER_02 41:43

Like I said, it wasn't even bad. It just felt a little long for something where, like, yeah, like see, there was

Sanji’s Nosebleeds And Blood Law

SPEAKER_02 41:52

a whole bunch of stuff that was going on to where the more important details uh I'm gonna say lost in the sauce, but more like if you're not paying attention, then you're probably gonna miss something important about this art. And uh, I see what you mean by the shirt, especially with uh that one shirt with the uh tank top on, I believe it was.

SPEAKER_06 42:14

I think is it tank top on yeah, the um Shirohoshi's pet shark, whatever his name was. The one now is just hiding in.

SPEAKER_02 42:23

Like, yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_06 42:24

That's what I'm saying. The one that, yeah, yep. He and also, oh my god, I just remembered also Shirahoshi had he had to hide Shirohoshi inside of him when they went. Luffy went to show her the forest and stuff because she was like, you know, you're strong, and I've always wanted to see this place, but I was always told it was too dangerous and whatnot, and I've been too afraid to go. And it's like, well, Luffy's like, well, let's go see it and stuff. And so she has to hide inside that poor shark to go and see the forest. And it's like, that poor guy, oh my god, he's been through so much shit.

SPEAKER_02 43:03

Can I also mention before I forget how with Sanji, I like how it's been a while since Sandy's been surrounded by beautiful women. So when you see all these beautiful mermaids, he starts doing all that uh bloody nose uh gag and whatnot. But for the first time in a while, him getting a bloody nose every time you see a beautiful woman had like repercussions, like when they were um submerging in the with the bubble and whatnot, and to where it's like, bro, you gotta get a blood transfusion. But the problem is uh Sanjay has rare blood, so it was kind of tricky helping him out. I'm like, bro, you need to calm down with it.

SPEAKER_06 43:41

Like Yeah. Yeah, I forgot about that whole subplot thing where Chopper's just trying to keep this fucker alive because he keeps getting a nosebleed with every beautiful woman he sees, and then there's that that law where fishmen are not allowed to give humans blood, and vice versa, because you know, fishmen. Are are lesser beings, so why would you want lesser beings' blood inside you? And it's like, and it's like, but then Jinbei shows up and was like, fuck the law, I'm going to help him, and gives him the transfusion he needs because he had the right blood type and stuff. But yeah, no, I forgot about that whole situation where Sanji is like, bro.

SPEAKER_02 44:20

It's like it it is giving, no, no, like uh, I agree with what you're saying, but it's weird that it was it's giving humans versus humans from X-Men to where you know some humans in the X-Men universe believe that they're so superior to humans, where why we we need uh do them any favors and whatnot. It's it's kind of given that situation, Gordon. You know, Fismen, like I forget the whole story behind it, but well, like clearly some evolution came on to where like they became what they are, and they feel like, oh well, since we can't survive underwater unlike humans, that makes us superior. It's like Atlanteans, really.

SPEAKER_06 45:03

Uh the Atlanteans kind of I wasn't it a uh human-made law because they didn't want you know fishman blood polluting their pure human blood or whatever. Like I thought I thought that was a it was a uh human law, not a and the fishman just had to follow along with it because you know it's still a law. Yeah, I'm pretty sure yeah, I'm pretty sure it was a human a human-made law, not a fishman-made law.

SPEAKER_02 45:33

Yeah, I mean, if that's the case, fine. But I mean, like the whole thing, especially with Holy Jones, um, feeling like, oh, the the the uh superiority complex is um where like oh well why is he I mean, even if uh it wasn't a law, like why should we anyways?

SPEAKER_06 45:55

Yeah and especially since they thought, you know, at the time they were still thinking, oh, you know, these people are here to destroy our island. It's like it's like it's like yeah, no, that that would make sense in that case, because it's you know, you don't want to help out the people who are gonna be, you know, destroying your home.

SPEAKER_02 46:14

But it's like a typical outsider uh prejudice where it's like, oh an outsider, they they must be up to no good.

SPEAKER_06 46:23

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So it's like, yeah, no, it's but but yeah, no, that whole thing, and it's like it's and poor chopper trying everything in his power to fucking make it so that Sanji stops getting nosebleeds when seeing every beautiful woman. He just has like the pictures and stuff, and we'll show him and and every time Sanji fails, it's it's it's he gets you know big old nosebleeds like bro, control yourself. Fuck.

SPEAKER_02 46:53

Wasn't it Jimbe that ultimately gave him the transfusion? Um yeah, okay. I was trying to remember.

SPEAKER_06 47:00

Yeah, no, that's like I said, Jimbe was like, fuck the law. I am helping these people. They've they've helped us, and it's like, yeah. So it's a yeah, no, it was it was Jimbe that actually was said, you know, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 47:15

Yeah, I just remembered the um the scene. Like I seen them all like lying down together, like doing the fusion punching. Okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_06 47:25

Yeah, yep.

SPEAKER_02 47:28

All right, yeah, that was all I had to say about Finchman

Punk Hazard’s Split Climate Mystery

SPEAKER_02 47:32

Island as well. Uh, let's go ahead and wrap up this section of the one season stream review with punk hazard. Uh for starters, the discovery of punk hazard. Um destroy has received this repressive call that leads them to um punk hazard, the island split between a fiery and icy climate. And upon arrival, they discover it was once the site of a government research facility. Uh, the group learns that Caesar Clown, a rogue scientist conducting dangerous experiments, could uh including the creation of the deadly gas and artificial dope fruits called Smiles. Uh Tropical uh long, one of my favorite characters in this whole series, a former warlord of the sea, forms an alliance with Luffy and takes down Caesar and ultimately defeat the Yonko Kaido. Uh this marks a significant strategic partnership uh for the Straw Hass. And the Straw Hats, alongside Law and their newfound allies, managed to defeat Caesar and escape punk hazard with the children he had been experimenting on, setting the stage for future conflicts. Uh, some new characters have been introduced, like I know I mentioned Law, he's a captain of the heart pirates and a former World of the Sea, known as the Surgeon of Death. Law is strategic and ambitious with the ability to manipulate objects and people using his op fruit power. By the way, I when I think of Law, I think of two words Room and Samples. Anyway, there's Caesar Clown, the former scientist for the world government, now a criminal, and the main antagonist of this art. His admission and lack of morality make him a dangerous for, especially with his gas-gas-free powers. Uh, there's Monet, a harpy lady, and Caesar's loyal assistant who possesses the snow snow through powers. She's cunning and dedicated to helping Caesar achieve his goals, but ultimately meets her end due to her unwavering loyalty. Uh, actually, those whole switch agrees with the hearts, because you know, uh law. I'll explain that later. Uh Virgo, who's a higher-ranking Marine officer secretly working for the pirate uh Don Keyo do Flamingo, known for his immense strength and tactical mind, uh, Virgo is a formidable um adversary for destroyers and their allies. Now, circling back to law and Luffy, like, remember when I said how Luffy can almost be a little too trusting to a fault? I like how one of the funniest bits in the whole series for me so far was that one part when he asked on Law, hey, are you gonna betray me? And Law was like, nope.

SPEAKER_03 50:37

And then he Luffy just smiling away, like, oh, that's all the answer I need.

SPEAKER_06 50:42

And he had like the sparkles around him, because it was it was Usopp. It was like Usopp was like, I don't think your definition of a um pirate alliance is the same as Luffy's, and it's like it's like you know, Luffy's is basically, you know, your friends, and it's like, you know, for Law, it's like and Usopp's like, you know, pirate alliances oftentimes are um end in betrayal, and that's when Luffy did that whole thing, like, are you gonna be portraying me? Law, like, no, and it's Luffy smiles and then has those ting ting ting ting sparkles around him. It's like, oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 51:20

Pirates of the care being is the best example of that to where like you think you're having a friend with a pirate, but you may never know when they're gonna sell you out.

SPEAKER_06 51:31

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 51:33

It's like wasn't Caesar an apprentice of Vegapunk? I'm trying to remember.

SPEAKER_06 51:42

I think he was one of his assistants until he started, you know, doing unethical things and Vegapunk's like, nah, you get the fuck out of here.

SPEAKER_02 51:52

Okay, yeah, because I'm thinking like I know Vegapunk, like he's this big creator, and I think he was part of the world government at a point until you know he um secluded himself, you know, the whole egghead ILM. We'll get to that when we get there. And uh,

Law’s Alliance And Pirate Betrayal Joke

SPEAKER_02 52:08

I know while I was thinking, like, I remember wasn't Vegapunk was mentioned in this one. Well, that was like one of the um rare instances where Vegapunk was um mentioned, where I'm like, I remember, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Caesar was an assistant to him, right? Right, right, right.

SPEAKER_06 52:26

And the island used to be one of one of Vegapunk's um uh laboratories until something happened that caused it to become, you know, the half hot, half cold. That was because of Vegapunk's death that happened. So it's like that used to be one of his laboratories as well, as Caesar having been one of his assistants.

SPEAKER_02 52:45

Right, right. Uh speaking of assistance, Monet. Okay, first of all, I did like the design, not gonna lie, but I also thought it was kind of tragic how with the whole switch root with the horse, uh, where uh law, when I mentioned the whole betrayal part, like, yeah, he said that he wasn't gonna betray Luffy, but it kind of seemed like there was a deal going on with uh Caesar to where uh Caesar had Law's heart, but uh there was this whole switch of root with Smoker's heart and uh Monet's. By the way, there was a whole switch of root with the mind swapping between um not all of the straw hats, but a good chunk of them, yeah. Yeah, a good chunk.

SPEAKER_06 53:34

I mean, Sanji was in Nami's body, Frankie was in Chopper's, which Robin fucking hated. I love that whole part where it's like because Frankie has that that real boisterous and sort of crude way of talking, and he's talking like that in Chopper's body, and and Robin's like, you shut the fuck up right now, do not say another word while you are in that body. Because it's like it's like that's my son. You you know, no, it's just like and just like every time he tried to speak, Robin's like, shut up, do not say another word in his wife, shut up, shut the fuck up. And of course, Sanji's. I'm ruining my urban image of my son. Exactly. Like that, that, that your voice coming out of my son's body does not compute. Stop it. And of course, Sanji is constantly trying to peek at all Nami's assets and whatnot, and Nami's like, you should stop that right now. As my body, you stop that. But he just keeps trying to peek and stuff, and it's like, oh my god. And just oh my gosh, just all the the swapping and freaking uh Toshiti and smoker swapping. And you know, smokers used to, you know, open chested, and it's like, but now he's in a female body, but he's still trying to, you know, just dress the way he normally does in Toshidi's like, please, I beg of you, don't like, oh god.

SPEAKER_02 55:04

I mean, good thing that was um sensitive to an agreement where like, okay, where it it no nip flips, but it was kind of cool.

SPEAKER_06 55:13

Yeah, no kidding. It's like bro. But it's just like, yeah, no, that whole body swapping situation, it was just like, oh my god, all the shenanigans.

SPEAKER_02 55:26

Right. And there was this whole with Rude with the horse, where uh to point being where Caesar was gonna stab Law's heart, thinking it was Lost Heart, but in actuality, uh it was like a switchery between Smoker and Monet's when in that's why he accidentally um stabbed Monet's heart. She ends up dying right before she was able to help um Caesar and whatnot. So it's almost like Caesar caused his own downfall, thinking that he thought that he was gonna have uh the upper hand on Law.

SPEAKER_06 56:05

Yeah. And um, and then they're at the end of the whole body swapping thing when Chopper is just so weak and out of it, and it's like um they're like, Well, you gotta you got law law, you gotta take him with you and stuff, and so they end up tying him to his head, and just law's face at that moment is that that just what the fuck have I gotten myself into? Getting getting involved with this crew.

SPEAKER_02 56:33

Right. Okay, hold on, hold on. Like, this is not gonna be the first time, but my bad. This is not gonna be the last time, but this is definitely the first time where I fucking love how long, like I said before, he's like the strategic type, like you know, calm cool collector, so he likes to prefer uh things to play out a certain way, and then you can just draw ahead prior to like these total wild cards. Every time he gets mixed up with them, he I just imagine him like um Thomas Shelby from PK Blind and say, Hey, no fight, no fucking fighting. Everybody stick to the plan and no fucking fighting, okay? Oh, wait, wait, wait, hold on. It's more like um, because I know I made memes about this a long time ago before we did this review. It's like the Looney Tune cartoon with uh Foghorn Leghorn, and then they have this little chicken hawk. And then he's like, Alright, boy, here's what I want you to do. Just do this and just do what I tell you. And then the chicken just walks off, and then Foghorn's like, I've warned rot for brains, and like, you know, something like that, to a point to where you know, like you try to explain the plan to him, but you just know

Body Swap Chaos And Straw Hat Energy

SPEAKER_02 57:52

for a fact that this is gonna go off the rails so fast.

SPEAKER_06 57:55

Like, mm-hmm. Yeah, and it's like, like you said, that's it's certainly not the last time it happens to him because that's there's the part where you know they're trying to figure out what to eat, and people keep saying things that involve bread, and law just bursts out, I don't like bread, and then he just that goes just like and his face just like freezes. He's like, What the fuck did I just say? And it's like, yeah, no, that that I love how that just becomes like a thing where like like you said, he he tries to come off all cool, collected, calm, and stuff, and it's like, but the straw hats just bring that out of him, and just like it's great, it's easy to get it. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 58:36

They're making me lose my composure.

SPEAKER_06 58:39

But it's just yeah, and I I I um I also like the fact that it's like Oda's wife, her favorite character is Law, and she has straight up told Oda, if Law dies, I am divorcing you. So everyone's like, Oh, thank god, Law is safe. Like that nothing's gonna happen to Law. He is going to make it through this.

SPEAKER_02 59:03

No, see, see, this is this is the crazy part where you make characters that's so beloved that you lose your fans. Like, okay, with Oda, like he's just gonna straight lose his wife if um certain character dies. But like it'd be like that sometimes, like with uh Bobagir from My Dear Academia, like people were ready to drop the manga when they found that that uh Bakugo seemed like he was gonna die. Like, bro, like see, that's bringing the things where like it's almost as if your story is not your story anymore. If you cave into the idea of, oh well, I can't kill him off now because you were gonna drop the manga. Like, I mean, yeah, I feel like like you want to stand on business as far as what your story, like tell your story the way you want, but at the same time, you just gotta understand that sometimes people are gonna love these characters to a point to where, like, yeah, like you said, if they end up dying off or whatnot, then you're gonna lose a lot of fans that way. So it's kind of hard being a writer sometimes. Like, you create this character that's so good that like you don't want to lose fans if anything bad happens to him. But like, oh damn, I had this whole plot line for him on. Oh well, I got teams. It's like Vegeta all over again, where he was supposed to die during the Saiyan saga, but people liked him so much. Oh well, we gotta figure out a way to uh keep him in the story now.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:31

Yeah, yeah. Yep. But yeah, it's just it's just like, but yeah, no, just that that whole dynamic between law and the straw hats, it's just it's just it's fantastic. And I I just had a thought uh from when they like first landed in the cold part of the island and stuff, and they came across all those quote unquote centaur people and whatnot, and they had you know the warm coats, and the straw hats are there freezing. And just I I I know it was for sure there was um Robin, Nami, and Usopp. I don't remember who else was was there at the time, but like they they see, you know, they see these creatures and stuff and they see the their warm coats and they just that that frame of just all their faces, just those creepy faces with like the the and and then they you know next thing we know the centaur people are all beat up on the ground and the straw hats are wearing their coats. It's just like just like I just I just remembered that part and was like, yeah, no, that because it's like you know, it was it was freezing and they're you know and they've all become astonished. Like, okay, let's just take these guys' coats and but their their look the looks on their faces before they beat them up and stuff was just like it was just like that that creepy creepy sort of looking face. Like the if if you see someone looking at you with that face, fucking run. Run.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:01

And just oh man.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:03

And then you know we're gonna um before I forget, uh even though he seemed like he was just taking out of the action, uh, I do like how the Brooke, he was the only one that pretty much stayed on the ship, but at the same time, if he didn't stay on the ship, he wasn't going to be able to relate to Luffy and the others what happened to the other team. So it's like in a way, like he's like a low-key MEP in this part, but even though he didn't do much.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:34

Yeah, exactly. Like, it's like if he hadn't have been there, he wouldn't have been able to say, Hey, so this thing fucking happened. Um, what are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do about this and stuff? It's like they would have had no idea what had happened. So it's like, yeah, no, it was definitely he wasn't really in this one, but he was very he was he was where he was supposed to be. Like, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:58

If anything goes wrong, just let us know.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:01

Just play with this and it's like no matter what you hear, do not come, um do not come out here, just stay where you are. And it's like, and that was a good thing because yeah, holy shit.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:18

Oh yeah,

Caesar’s Experiments And Thin Villainy

SPEAKER_02 1:03:20

um, the little the men uh these men in the hazmat suits. Am I the only one thinking like, bro, why do they look like those uh fucking monsters for monsters ink, you know, with the hazmat suits or you know, those oh yeah, for the the 20 2319, 2319, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:39

Yeah, we did a bit, but to be fair, anyone looks like that in a hazmat suit, so but but no, like I just kept thinking, um bro, it looked like monster ink, um fucking hazmat scientist in there.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:55

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:58

I was just thinking of because no, to be fair, normally you actually see a human face with those suits, but with the way they drew it, it looks more close to uh that. Oh, oh, also uh uh buddy from who's gonna be in the wanna art, Ken Neymon, he's also in the mix.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:20

Yeah, that's what I'm saying for yeah, I I was I was gonna be bringing that up because yeah, no, we we also met we met his lower half first, stuck to the back of like you know, in a like a centaur form, but yeah, no, it's like we meet we meet Kenya Mon um and also um Mononosuke um later on as one of the children that are being been giving those uh smile candies, and um, you know, we don't know at this time who they are, they just know you know they they need help and whatnot.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:59

And um just like how we were introduced to giants from Elbat way before Elbat, but trust me, it's gonna matter later.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:11

Yep, exactly. And so it's like it's like you know, we don't know at the time anything about these characters other than they're just you know uh more characters that the straw hats are helping because that's what the straw hats fucking do.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:24

Hold on. Uh I think it was like either Pincement Island or right before Punk Hazard, but that was also another deep cut to where we get to see a whole bunch of whales that look like Laboon from way back, and you think okay, uh Laboon, to be fair, he mentioned that he's from the new world. So the fact that the straw has saw whales that look like Laboon, that just lets you know oh, they're fishing in the new world. See, see, it map is gonna matter later.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:55

Yep, exactly, exactly. It's like, yeah, no, because Leboon. had followed and yeah so um but yeah no it's it's it's it is fun seeing things that we saw forever ago coming to you know to be more more uh important than we when than we were expecting and stuff so it's like yeah no the it it it's it's always fun seeing stuff like that where it's like we it's like oh you know we met this person way back towards the beginning and now you know something about them is popping up again it's like damn okay Jacob's gun why not so but yeah uh was there anything else about that you want to um add on to it because uh for the most part uh the only thing I have to mention is how with Caesar I'm gonna be honest with you Caesar is the same problem I have with Caesar is the same problem I have with Moria to where the other um villains before them I felt like okay they're still like a little saw like a little uh reason where I'm like okay you definitely feel like a villain to me but Moria and Caesar for me I don't know just kind of feel like they're just uh one-dimensional uh kind of building you know just evil just the evil and type shit like exactly their motivation is not very clear and whatnot you don't really know what they want want to do you just know that they're the bad guy and destroy that type of I was like yeah you know you just felt like a bad guy you just felt like a villain's weak that's the problem yeah you you you nailed it with the whole you know being evil just to be evil and it's like that's it like there's no motivation they just want to be evil so it's like yeah no it's it's definitely I mean and then we you know we find out that there's more shit that Caesar has done you know for Dophi and whatnot and it's just it just makes it even more so you know he's just doing it to be evil yeah because at least you have like

Dressrosa’s Two-Track Story Setup

SPEAKER_06 1:08:20

um certain characters like say uh Dophy like oh bro and when we get to dress rosa like Doy just reminds like see this what I'm talking about uh a villains where I'm like okay at least he's coming from a background where like okay you can kind of sympathize with him will a little bit yeah I still fucking hate him I still fucking hate him I I do not like Do Fe. I mean yes hey you're entitled to hate him but I'm just saying okay well at least he feels like a character that they um that would like kind of want to craft it to where like okay let me just put some seasoning on this villain because um but it's like it's it's like he's just I'll I'll I'll I'll save her for when we actually get to dress a rosa because we're we're that that's our next one so but so I'll save it for that but it's just like it's just like he's just he it makes me think of that whole thing from one of Yo Kat's videos I believe it was the the warlock one it's like it's like a a spoiled rich child who's who's upset that they don't get a fourth Maserati to crash.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:35

So anywho I'll I'll save I'll save I'll save the rest of my feel about dophi for for when we actually do that episode but but yeah no it's like it's he he does you know we actually do see you know why he is the way he is that doesn't excuse it in any way but it's like uh we actually feels like a character versus Caesar exactly like a full character like a backstory and everything versus Caesar is like ah well you know I was an assistant to a famous doctor and now fake devil free yeah exactly so yeah so that is one thing that yeah it's like he is actually you know there's there's reason there he's not just evil to be evil he he sees himself as you know at least somewhat justified in in with the stuff he's doing where Caesar's just like fuck y'all and if you ask me tonaro that's what that's honestly what I like about some villains villains that don't believe that they're evil in fact they kind of convince you well okay hold on uh I kind of see where you're coming from but I don't like the direction that you're going yeah yeah but yeah so but yeah evil just to be evil I'm not broke we're not five like that's not gonna cut anymore mm-hmm mm-hmm yep so and then there's the whole you know the situation with all the children on the island and stuff and doing you know the experiments on them with the candies and and the withdrawals and whatnot it's like that was all just that was fucked up that was very fucked up is what that was yeah but um but yeah like other than just like really talk what it's always the evil scientist by the way experimenting on children mm-hmm mm-hmm like and it's like but but then there's all the you know the un the underlings and stuff that are still going along with it it's like like I understand you know oh they're your boss you gotta do what they say but it's like at a certain point you gotta say just say no because like what like what the fuck yeah do you not see what you were doing to these children and it's like it's just oh man yeah and then the whole the rampage thing but there's still a couple of them that are man managed to hold on to themselves and are are trying to you know help and protect the others and stuff it's just like oh my god I mean yeah that's that's the one thing about Caesar like his lack of morale is where I'm like nope everybody's my plaything like you're all just lab rats to me exactly and that's exactly how he sees them is just not even human like you are just my lab rats you are the ones that that are helping me you know with my science stuff like no no yeah but but yeah congratulations you made me hate a villain um damn don't like see okay at least but like okay with some villains there's like a little nuance where I'm like okay I like how well written the villain is but I still don't like him as a character no no I I I this the kind of builds where I'm like bro not only do I not like him but there's nothing about it to justify um is you know once again just one little bear gotta be that's all it is yep yeah so but yeah no it's like I think that's about that's about it as far as the punk hazard arc and whatnot and you know ever obviously everyone gets back in their own bodies everything goes back to normal they go out to the ship Brooke tells them what all went down and whatnot and but yeah

Doflamingo’s Control And Toy Horror

SPEAKER_02 1:13:45

and we also find out that Joker the guy that C has been um working with was asking dopey and I like how that kind of ties right into the next arts where they say oh well uh I like how when they figure out that it was dopey behind it uh and they was like okay next stop dress rosa uh they find out that uh dopey's uh warlord of the sea and there I it was chopper the one that said that it's up for you yep like you're warlord no more yep it's our time has come to an end so but yeah you know what it's a good stopping point right here so the next time we'll be talking about this we'll be talking about dress rosa and zoe and then after that we get into some real shit between Holk Island Wano and Egghead Island so for the time being let's just go ahead again to intermission and get prepared for that because god fucking damn continuing the One Piece extreme review we are now here at the Dressrosa arc and we're also gonna talk about the Zoe arc now with the Dressrosa arc I'm gonna be honest with you it's gonna be one of those it was like one of my top five favorite as far as um story development especially with how with Dressrosa even though a bunch of things happened that led to dress rosa I feel like with dress rosa it kind of opened the floodgate to the bigger shit that we're gonna get down to I won't say it's really between dress rosa and Zoe but I'll explain now the strong hats they get to Dressrosa with law with a plan to destroy the small factory and he throws dopomingo by the way dopomingo he had this situation to where he was working for under Kaido as far as making the small um crews and whatnot all that whatnot and since Caesar clown got apprehended and that's the crazy thing like I forgot that Caesar sticks around a little while after the punk hazard arc and I'm like I do not like Caesar I do not like him but anyways point being is that with punk hazard um being taken down Caesar being apprehended and whatnot dofomingo had a choice either he deals with Kaido or he steps down as warlord of the seven seas and steps down as King of Dress Rosa so he doesn't have to deal with Kaido you would think yeah you know what I'm out like my life is not worth this job but uh dopey said psych and was like nope I'm not giving up my crown as dress in just Rosa and I'm not quitting being a um seven you know so yeah he lied and the crew splits into two teams uh there's Luffy Zoro and Sandy heading to the Coliseum while Law Usock and Robin aimed to capture Caesar and there was this whole thing with Luffy entering the tournament at the Corydia Coliseum winning trying to win the flame frame the flame flame fruit which was once held by uh Ace and during the tournament he fought a whole bunch of opponents and ultimately discovered Savo who takes uh his place in the finals there was Toy Soldier through the whole battle of the flamingo and I'm gonna get into detail with that but before I even do that tonar what's your impression of the Trust World art um like I said last time it definitely it I felt like it drug so much like by the end of it like half the episode was previously on it was it was a very long one and but it was I mean you know like you said a lot happened and it set up a whole lot of stuff for later on um but um uh nope I just lost that thought it just it just flew right out my fucking head um yeah yeah um um so Sanji actually went with uh Nami and them because remember that was um when the rest of the crew gets to Zoe and Nami's like I'm so

God Usopp Moment Changes Everything

SPEAKER_02 1:18:54

sorry and everything so Sanji went with them it was Frankie that stayed with Zorro and Luffy okay yeah okay um because he because I that that one of my um one of the you know main battles was Frankie versus senior um senior pink is it just that's okay I couldn't remember if it was just senior if it was senior pink yeah with senior pink and and his whole devil fruit thing um and but um but yeah it's like that and I'm I know we're gonna get to it but like there's one part of this of this the arc I'm sure you know what I'm talking about when a certain someone shows up and just like oh my god um but that's you know happens in the call scene and whatnot um but it's like we we meet a bunch of new characters and whatnot in this one we there's there's uh I got you is is no hold on is Bartolo Bartolo mayo yeah yeah yeah and like he is such a fangirl for Luffy and it is fucking hilarious yeah and like we we see other people um we uh Cavendish in the in the Coliseum and stuff and um what was the guy with like the drill head what was his name shit I forgot but I know he I know you mean but like I forgot what his name was yeah so there's a guy with the drill heads like all these people drill here for now exactly there we go and it's just like um you know they you know go into like you said they go into the column if you don't know their name just give them nickname nickname there you go um like you said you know go into the Coliseum to get that the maram no mead Ace's old fruit um and it's like there's people there that the majority of them want to kill Luffy um but then there's Bartolomeo and he's like he's like my hero and he just so he's so uh what's the word I'm looking for um rash that doesn't seem right but he he's he's he is uh very uncouth let's say in a lot of his stuff but it's like you know they so you know I have to go by by Lucy because Luffy is not great at coming up with names um for disguises um but it's just like yeah you know and um and this is all just like the first half because the like the half of it is in the Coliseum and then the other half is just the all the takedown stuff afterwards and whatnot and it's just like it's but yeah no it's we meet so many new people it felt like Dressrosa had like an A plot and a B plot and then it converged to the whole takedown of Doflamingo yeah that yeah because while while Luffy was you know doing his thing in the Coliseum the rest of the crew were doing their things behind the scenes trying to take down Dofi and whatnot and the and his crew um so it's like yeah so it was very much had you know like you said A plot B plot sort of situation um and it was a bit of back and forth and whatnot and um it got a little confusing sometimes as far as like the the flashbacks because like I'd be watching this all of a sudden oh wait this is a fucking flash deck what the hell when did that happen?

SPEAKER_06 1:22:55

But it was but there there there was a lot a lot going on and whatnot just in general um but like and like I said last time it's like I do not like Dophi like at all.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:09

Hey you know what no no no you know what I don't blame you because it wasn't until I got prepared to do Dress Rosa that I remembered oh shit Doy's a fucking celestial dragon I hate the celestial dragons well and like yeah there's the former but you know yeah former but it's like and it just his whole attitude of entitlement he is so fucking entitled he was like you know I used to be a celestial dragon now I deserve all this shit it's like first off fuck the celestial dragon so therefore fuck you um uh hold on excuse me sir didn't you and your family almost got lynched and um burned and like crucified and all that shit I'm like uh yeah I don't know where your entitlement's coming from it's come the entitlement's coming from the fact that they used to be celestial dragons and so he thinks he deserves everything and I'm just like the entitlement is so palpable oh my god that's like and that's that's my main thing with him is just the entitlement of you know I deserve all this shit because I used to be this piece of shit celestial dragon or be I used to be a part of the select and it's like oh my god and it's like it's just and we you know there's corazon that we meet in flashback stuff because he's gone at this point oh my god that is like oh my god especially that last part with law and the test and the and just like oh my god um anyways but yeah it's like you know corazon doesn't have that entitlement issue it's like doofy you're just a piece of shit like it's just like I yeah no definitely one of my least favorite villains that we've had aside I mean obviously there's a kinu because you know fuck a kinu um but but this guy it's like a kinu his main thing was just you know the killing of ace this guy is just there's

Sabo Returns And Ace’s Legacy

SPEAKER_02 1:25:20

a lot going on and stuff and a lot of stuff he's fucked up and a lot of people that he's just totally fucking destroyed because what because he can because he he deserves to to do this shit like nah fuck you well dopey I don't like him but I like how he's written as a villain to where he's very convincing that it's like Oda written dopey to not be likable and that's what I appreciate about it to where like you're not supposed to like someone like him to where he went as far as killing his own family just to get the law um with the whole thing with law uh getting uh up off fruit and it's you know what it's crazy how in hindsight it's like okay with ball having like the heart and whatnot on his head so whatnot is kind of like a reference to uh what Corazone did for him and and I I can't get that uh even the whole part with him being the heart pirate and I'm like Coruscant is Spanish for heart so I'm like hey that makes sense like yeah he was like the heart of all this it was like if see keep in mind that law he was terminally ill so Corazon okay hold on let me back that up let me back that up real quick like Dolpe does not like anyone with the will of D. So if Dolpe found out that Law was his full name that boy would have been killed on site but Corazon knew about it and was like hey you know what uh even to a point where yeah uh law stabbed uh Corazone and whatnot but regardless of that when Law met with Dolphy he thought um dopey was gonna kill him but nah he's like in fact he could join the crew and then he's looking at Corazone like do you know me I was like nah nah this messy bro I I just I just told him that one enemy day and then he's like okay cool cool cool but then fast forward a little bit where okay uh law found out from Corazon what dope what time on Dopey was on and then I like how dope uh law was about to snitch on dopey but he actually didn't do it he was just kind of fucking with him but it was like his way of repaying him for having his back not tell him uh his full name on to Dopey and whatnot. I kind of like that uh back uh story to where like oh god damn like okay uh law was Sad with Dolphy, bro. It's like, okay, he and his family getting strung up, bum, about to be burned like witches, and he had this whole speech talking about I'm gonna kill you all. And then they all escape from that. And then uh he grows up to be who he is, and for 10 whole years, he had dressed rose under this tyranny. And I like how okay, this kind of gonna tie into me one talk about the B part, where Sugar, one of Dopey's main ones. I like how with Sugar, she has this ability to make her anyone she touches or whatnot. Uh, I don't know if it's like physical touch or like something like something with her devil fruit powers where she can make she has to physically touch the okay. She has to physically can make anyone she touches into a doll. And that was the whole thing with uh Kairos, uh Rebecca's uh by the way, Rebecca, that was a very interesting choice of clothing during the call scene. I'm not complaining, I'm just I just think that's a very uh interesting choice.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:29

That was very much just fan service.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:33

I'm not mad at it. But I was okay. Serious, serious, she had the ability to turn these young people into dolls, and that's the whole reason why Kairos, like Rebecca Damon, remember Kairos because not only does he turn into dolls, but everybody on the planet forgets who you are, that you ever existed. And I'm like, bro, that is scary.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:03

It it is, and it also there's also the fact that that she makes a contract basically with them that they have no choice but to, you know, accept that it's like you can't talk about this, you know, you have to pretend, oh yeah, no, you've you're just this this toy stuff, and it's like and it also um I know with there was a lot of stuff where you know toys being like, you don't remember me? I'm your I was your husband, your your you know, your mom, your child, whatever. And um, like the people are being like, what the heck is wrong with this toy? Get them away from here, and the uh the junkyard that they would send the toys that tr that tried that shit to to make dying.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:46

Is that the dolls don't even look like the people that you know, so that way it makes it even less believable. Like, who's gonna believe you don't even look like the person that they're talking about?

SPEAKER_06 1:31:00

Well, and even if they remembered who the like what they looked like, they wouldn't remember still remember wouldn't remember who they were, anyways. So it's like even if they did still look the same, no one that wasn't a toy would remember that. Like when when fucking oh my god, when Robin got turned into a toy for a little bit and the crew forgot her, I was like, no, what the fuck are you doing?

SPEAKER_03 1:31:25

No, see, hold on, hold on.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:28

See, that's why I want to talk about the B plot because there was a whole thing with the dwarves, and I like how they were trying to figure out uh what her deal was. Like, did she got weapons and whatnot? And you can try to uh suggest strict searching her, and I'm like, okay, once again, fan service. But come on, it's Robin, but uh yeah, I like how, yeah, like you said, Robin gets turned into a doll. So you know they have to resolve this whole situation now, and I love how it was because Usa made this weird ass face when he was uh forcebed something, and it spooks sugar into um into um collapsing on fainting, and then that thing that um made all the people come back to um they became human again, and then that's so you know that giant holds Luffy up and like this is our savior, God Usopp, yeah, God Usopp.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:33

Oh my god, yeah, that was that was and then that becomes his fucking uh wanted poster picture.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:39

It's like what the fuck because to be fair, as he because I like how that's the reason why he's called God Usopp, but also I love how it's because of Usa, like that little thing was oh was like okay, the uh Dante O um family, the pirates, they had this big advantage over people in the Dress Rosa between the dolls and Dopey making the birdcage. So the fact that you took out one of the main ones that was making these people into dolls, that changed the whole battlefield on Dress Rosa. So, in a way, it's kind of earned.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:32

Oh, yeah, definitely. And like, cause because yeah, like you said, you know, if it weren't for that and her giving her that PTSD so they could undo it the second time, um, it's like that, you know, probab they probably would not have done as well as they did because that was so much of the control that they had over the kingdom was these toys and whatnot, and the you know, forcing them to you know do their work and whatnot and to pretend, oh yeah, everything's normal while they watch their families, you know, live on without them and whatnot. And it's like that was such a huge part of the control, and making you know, the people forget what you know, when when someone turns into a toy, people forget them. It's like so. If if anyone you know tried going against them, they can turn them into a toy, and then everyone forgets about that person, and therefore all the other shit, and it's like that was such a huge part of the control they had when Usopp took that away, it just turned the tide of everything, right? So yeah, no, it's oof.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:39

That leads to us. I mean, I know we're kind of glossing over the details, but let's be real, there's a whole lot of YouTubers and whatnot that probably already went to high detail. We're just streamlining to what we want to talk about and whatnot, so let's just keep it brief. Now, converting the plot points into the central point to where okay, Dopey's like, all right, check this out. We got a new game. Let's let's play a game. Like they're on some like on the Saw movies. They're like, let's play a game.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:10

So they put a hit out on sorry, I just I just realized if if we're leaving like the we're moving on to like the main thing. Um can we fucking talk about fucking Sabo real quick?

SPEAKER_02 1:35:25

Oh okay, yeah, yeah. I I did mention I kind of go out of them at the same time. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:34

Holy shit. Like that was fucking insane, you know, because that was that was the other that was the third party of ASL, Ace Sabo Luffy. And it's like, you know, we had seen in in backstory, he fucking got blown up, and then he shows up and it's like, what the fuck? And then we find out, you know, it was because of fucking dragon. And it's just like and but oh my god, and it's like and Luffy, his reaction when he realized who it was that was standing in front of him was just like, oh my god, because he had literally just lost his brother not long ago. So it was like so it's just the fact that this one came back from the grave basically, and it's like it was just oh my god, it was so fucking emotional, and just I literally I like I fucking was like, what the fuck? Oh my god, and it's oh and you know he he tells Luffy, you know, leave g reclaiming Ace's legacy to me. You go, you go do what you need to do with your friends. Oh my god, because and the fact that you know we found out he had lost his memories, and that's why you know he we didn't see him until now. And it's like just him seeing that newspaper article and just being like something's wrong and stuff, and then his body just going fucking nutso when it clicks just who this person is to him, and getting his you know, his memories back and whatnot, and just like, oh my god, it was oh my god, it was so emotional. It's like oh, and it and it's like and you know, he beat up on himself because he wasn't there to help, you know, rescue Ace. There's been I've seen pretty official looking stuff, but I know it's not official because but of where it's like Sabo shows up at the you know Ace's execution, and together they save Ace and stuff, and it's just like why couldn't that have been the case? But it's like nope, he he didn't remember until he saw that newspaper article, and you know, and even then it took a little bit, but then it was like his whole he just and then oh man, and didn't he end up g being in like a little bit of a like a coma for a bit just from the shock, and that's why he didn't show up until Dresserosa?

SPEAKER_02 1:38:08

Pretty much, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:38:09

Yeah, I was I'm pretty sure that was the case. Like he he his his body and and mind just couldn't handle the all everything coming back, and so it's like we gotta shut down for a little bit and process all this shit.

unknown 1:38:23

Like, oh my god.

SPEAKER_06 1:38:25

Um, but yeah, I know just and just the I I still like that that when you know he's tell tells Luffy leave leave the retrieving of Ace's legacy to me. I will make sure I am the one who gets his legacy, and just like, oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:46

Yeah, I mean that's a great way to have Sabo be more included in the story, especially considering that uh with Ace, he was part of the White Beard Pirates, and that's great and all. And you know, uh him and Whitebeard passed away during the summit of Green War on the Paramount War and whatnot. But uh having Sabo not only having more uh involvement with the plot and also being part of the revolutionary army is like a great way to where okay, we're always gonna get that reminder that the revolutionary army is working uh in the shadows and whatnot. And I'm still like, okay, I fell off from the manga after Egghead Island, not gonna lie. Uh but I did hear some things about Dragon, and I heard that he finally did something. So when we get to that part, we're gonna see what he did. But my main thing is I'm just hoping that him, Sabo, and the rest of the root revolutionary army gets more involved, especially with uh Bang saying what he was saying during Eggett Island. So I I really want to see more thought with this one.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:03

I know, I know we got a little more involvement um from them with the uh the reverie. Uh because there was that whole B plot of during the Reverie and whatnot. I mean the Reverie itself was sort of a B plot. Um, it just kept sort of kept going, like, oh here, here's a little bit of this. Now back to this. Um, but that's that's not till uh Wano, but uh or whole cake, whichever. Um, but yeah, no, and it's like do we know if Sabo knows that Dragon is Luffy's dad, or is that just something he doesn't know? Do we know do we know that?

SPEAKER_02 1:40:43

I don't think it was like revealed that he knows, but it's either he knows and like we just don't know that he knows, or there's like this implication that while Dragon is trying to uh look out for Luffy from a distance, that uh he's also keeping Sabo in the dark so that way uh it doesn't look like Dragon's just being a little too personal with Luffy.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:13

Okay. So it's a good thing. So like the fact that you know, out of everyone that could have found Sabo when he was in such a you know bad state after being fucking blown up, it was like it was Luffy's father, and he's Sabo's been with Luffy's father this whole time when it's like we've barely seen glimpses of him. I mean, we saw him there at Logetown.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:37

I want to believe that not not to say that Sabo is a snitch, but I want to believe that the if anything, Dragon will probably not tell Sabo that he's Luffy's father because he doesn't want Sab, uh he doesn't want Sabo to tell Luffy that his father's on running around uh doing what you do, uh leading the revolutionary army. And essentially it's like uh it would kind of like uh put Dragon in a weird spot because you know it's kind of like a hunter. It's kind of like a sponsor to where uh Gone is making his whole journey about finding his father, and essentially, I want to say Dragon just don't want Luffy to get derailed raw his adventures, but hey, hey, hey man, don't worry about finding it. Just do what you do what you need to do, go on your adventures with your friends. Like I'll look I'll be looking out for you, but don't get distracted.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:36

Yeah, well, because I was I was gonna say, you know, um that because Luffy does know that his father is you know leader of the revolutionary army, garf told him that. But then it's like I we don't know that Dragon knows that Luffy knows because he has I mean how would he know that Garf told him that? So it's like okay, that that I guess I guess see that, so yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:58

Um real question is does wait, do we know if Luffy knows that Sabo's part of the revolutionary army?

SPEAKER_06 1:43:08

I believe he told him when he was, you know, where they were catching up a little bit afterwards, after everything. I believe he told him, but I don't remember for sure.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:18

Okay, so if he did tell him, then I'm taking it that Luffy doesn't really taking uh he's not making finding his father and reunite with him a priority. Yeah, no, I'm um impression again. Like, even if he did know, like even if he could meet up with dragons, he doesn't care.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:42

Yeah, no, he he you know, he was like, Okay, I guess I still love his reaction when Garp first told it.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:48

Anyway, so why did I care? It's like having uh having daddy issues that he doesn't have issues, it's just he just doesn't care.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:56

Yeah, and it's like you know, when when Garp first told me, he's like, Wait, I have a dad, he's like, Well, yeah, of course you have a dad. You how the hell do you think you you know, you sort of have to have a dad to be born?

SPEAKER_02 1:44:07

Um I mean, yeah, you're an orphan, but you had a father and a mother.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:12

Yeah, but yeah, so it's just like it's like but yeah, no, and it's just like the fact that you know Luffy's other brother has been with his biological father this whole time. It's just sort of like, holy shit. And then to find, you know, that the fact that Robin was also with them during the two the two years, well, not the full two years, because there was a bit before um they showed up and she joined up with them. But it's like for a good chunk of that two years, she was with the revolutionary army. She knew Sabo, she knew Dragon, she knew, you know, all the important players there and whatnot. Um but yeah, it's just it's just like the fact that all these years, you know, the brother that Luffy thought had died was with his fucking father. And it's like, oh my gosh. So yeah, no, just that I just because we were you know moving on from the call scene and stuff, so I just was like, ah, we gotta talk about Sabo a little bit here.

SPEAKER_00 1:45:16

Fair enough. Fair enough.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:18

But yeah, so that was that was about that for so yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:23

Uh what else about uh oh, you know what? Here's another character that I never liked, but even then I'm like, come on, dog, you didn't have to do them that dirty. Uh, you remember Bellamy?

Zo Arc Road Poneglyph Reveal

SPEAKER_06 1:45:38

Oh my god, yes, I forgot about that. Oh my god. I gotta like he treated okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:45

You know what? I got something to tell you uh off the record, so don't don't uh remind me that um there's something that I need to tell you that um related to Bellamy and his uh serum for Dophi. But uh, anyways, Bellamy he wanted to be part of Do Fumingo because he kind of looks up to Dophi. But Dophi, as per usual, with everybody else, he treated Bellamy so fucking dirty that even Bellamy even knew that he was pretty much rejected, but he still wanted to uh help out Doffie anyways. And I'm sitting there like, bro, like I don't like you, and even I got to say, yeah, I was better to feel better than that dog.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:31

Yeah, like no, I I you know at first I was I didn't really care for him, but it's like after everything, it's like all right, you you're a good dude, you know. He he he couldn't do it, you know what what he couldn't, you know, take out Luffy because he was like, I this isn't right and stuff, and it's like yeah, no, when we first met him, you know, he was you know making fun of them and whatnot, and because that was back fucking uh Sky Skypia arc when we when we really first saw him and whatnot. Um and it was like, yeah, no, you were you were a dick, but good on you for for even though you know this is what you've been wanting, you know, this to join Dofi's curr crew, you still can't do the fucked up shit that it's like so yeah, so it's like I I I I I I'm sorry. Um I I do like him, you know, more now, and I but it's like yeah, I I I s it's like they he's like yeah, like what you said, he needs to have more self-respect for himself. Like he is it's just not worth, you know, even though it's his dream and stuff, it's like that's a pretty shitty dream, bro.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:51

First off, to that you want to join fucking and uh yeah, sorry, I'm just like I mean, see at least with uh Partholomeo, uh him looking up to Luffy, that makes sense because Luffy's a stand-up dude. Him um you looking up to Doffy, nah bro, you need to uh pick better idols, man. Pick better role models.

SPEAKER_06 1:48:19

Yeah, it's it's like and back back back a little bit to to you know um my dislike of Doy. I all I can think of is is um, you know Joe Cat, yeah? Yeah, he has those crap guide to D D videos, and it's um I want to say it was the warlock video where it's like he's upset that he doesn't get a fourth Maserati to crash. And it's like, yeah, that's that's that's Dofi, all right. That that's pretty much Dofi, down to a T. And it's just like so, and it's like, yeah, he you know seems to care a lot for his like inner family sort of situation that he's created for himself, but anyone outside of that, it's like he he doesn't give a shit about them.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:06

You know, it's pretty that you said that because made that reference because now I'm now I can't help but picture Dopey like imagine if Joffrey um from Game of Thrones um I think grew up to be an adult. Fuck Joffrey that's that one spoiled kid that thinks, oh well the world is mine and everyone's my slave and whatnot. All this question.

SPEAKER_06 1:49:36

Well, and like with with uh fucking Daenerys's brother, I don't even remember his fucking name. I uh I don't I don't know, and I don't care about his name, frankly.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:47

Um I feel that I didn't like him either, but uh that uh crown of gold that uh That's what's I was about to say That was my favorite part of the movie.

SPEAKER_06 1:50:02

It's like, you know, he had that same sort of, you know, entitlement feeling. And look what he fucking got. I'm like, why can't that, you know, be more of the norm? Like, yeah. But anyways, um, yeah. So it's just like I felt so fucking bad for him. And it's just like, dude, have some self-respect. You are they they're they're all just pieces of shit. Why are you looking up to them? Why are you trying to impress them? What is why? But yeah, no, that that Bellamy bit was like just like, oh bro.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:42

But um what's that?

SPEAKER_02 1:50:46

Okay, okay. I did I I did start off with um mentioning Bellamy, but okay, okay. Uh moving on from that, the

Sanji’s Vinsmoke Hook And Split Crew

SPEAKER_02 1:50:53

only thing I really gotta say about address rose of art is moving uh unlast year four, um bounce man to fight dopamineo and whatnot. And you know, the the fight was actually shorter than I expected. Like, I don't know why it just didn't last a lot. But anyway, he fights dopamine.

SPEAKER_06 1:51:15

It was just it was a lot of episodes because they kept you know doing other stuff, and so it's like it was a very short fight, but they stretched it.

SPEAKER_02 1:51:26

Right, and I mean, oh my god, like wait until we get the one all because oh my it felt like 60 episodes just for Luffy to fight Kaido. And I and I don't mean it took 60 episodes for him to fight Kaido, I mean it took 60 episodes just to see the whole first uh first round, second round, I think they're like two, three rounds of Luffy um fighting Kaido. Kaido beat him like at least one or two times, and then Luffy just keeps coming back for a rematch, and then you got that mix that's coming in again. So god damn, that was a whole lot of like it's it's almost like uh Wano is like the opposite of what we would expect from Wampies at this point, where like for some reason the final fight isn't that long, or when we get to Wano, Jesus Christ. But uh Dofi, uh essentially Luffy beat Dolphy, uh Dress Rosa got liberated. Uh he pretty much started the grand fleet at that point. Fuji Tora, the one Marine Admiral that can summon meteors, even though he was aware of um Dopey's crimes, he chose not to intervene and allow the citizens to witness justice firsthand type shit.

SPEAKER_06 1:52:55

And his whole thing talking to uh Ainu, it's like, you know, my goal is to take down, take abolish the the Shichibukai, the the seven warlords of the sea.

SPEAKER_03 1:53:08

Right.

SPEAKER_06 1:53:08

There should no be there should be no legal pirates.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:12

Yeah, like why are we sponsoring pirates? Isn't our job is to capture them?

SPEAKER_06 1:53:18

It's like when they're when they're doing shit like what Dophi's doing at Dressarosa or what Crocodile did in um Alabasta or you know any of that sort of stuff. It's like this is not right.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:30

This is now that I think about it. I'm thinking like which arc when they finally did get disbanded. I'm I'm trying to because this is this has to happen after Buggy became a warlord, but I'm trying to remember which arc was it that okay now that uh seven warlords have disbanded, they the Marines went, they went straight before everybody. I remember that. Like I remember they were going after and everybody else. I can't remember what art was, but we'll get there.

SPEAKER_06 1:53:58

I think I want to say that was during whole cake, but I'm not for sure. Yeah, I'm not for sure, but yeah, no, that was you know, he finally saw that come to fruition and whatnot.

SPEAKER_02 1:54:09

And well I mean whole cake is pretty long, so I can believe it happened somewhere in there.

SPEAKER_06 1:54:15

Yeah, but yeah, no, I saw I just I I you know he saw that come to fruition. It's like, wait a second.

SPEAKER_01 1:54:23

But yeah, uh that's a lot of things.

SPEAKER_06 1:54:32

You know, like said between Frankie and um um senor pink, there was uh Zorro and and Luffy against fucking Pico and that voice, oh my god. Um and then you know, there was the taking down of the um the smile factory and um you know breaking down the door and stuff, everything with the birdcage, the that like like you said, that fight with Dofi, it's like they spread it out, but it was a rather short fight. Um and just you know, Luffy and Law working together so well to take him down and stuff, and like, you know, the doing with Law's uh room and champ and whatnot, so he was able to put Luffy directly in a path to um well no, he swapped places with he used room to swap places with with Doffy. So when it seemed like you know, Luffy had turned on Law and was going to attack him, and Dofi's like, all right, let's see how this goes, and then fuck Law fucking rooms them and swaps them places. Dofi's like, ah fuck, I'm done fucking. That part was just like, oh my That was hilarious. Dofi's like, what the fuck? Um yeah, it's like there were a lot of it's like I call them littler battles, but they really weren't, they were still pretty substantial, especially as far as you know taking everything down. Like they were they were very important battles, but they were just sort of seen as you know, just little battles compared to you know taking down the main bad guy. Um, but it's like you know, we found out a lot about you know stuff that happened. And uh, oh what was the um because there was there was another lady in the in the family, the one that can change like her limbs to different weapons like guns and stuff.

SPEAKER_00 1:56:39

Are you talking about it?

SPEAKER_06 1:56:41

Gunslinger girl, I just call her gunslinger girl singer girl. Um I want to say Viola, but I don't know that was that was uh Rebecca's mom or her aunt. Um she was part of the Donkey O Price Yeah, um hold on actually. Let's see if this is oh it doesn't look like I can send a picture because I have I have a fucking um figure of her. I was gonna send a picture to just to show who it was and so you can see, but um, she wears like a sort of like a maid's outfit a little bit and like her she can change any of her limbs into weap into weapons and whatnot. And she did that a like a lot with her legs, especially turning them into guns. Anyways, um she was fighting one of the um one of the who eventually became part of you know the Luffy's fleet. And she just wanted she just wanted to love man. And like and she like that was one of her you know things was like anytime any man complimented anything, she was like, that means you love me, right? And it's like, you know, we we have to be together now. And it's like the the one that she was fighting um said something and she and just had that, she had that same reaction, and those two end up getting married and stuff, and it was just like that was adorable. That was an adorable little thing. But you know, we find out about Senior Pink's background, um, with you know, his family and everything, and why he dresses the way he does, and the way he talks the way he does and whatnot. Um and honestly, Frankie was the best, definitely the best one to go against him and learn all that stuff, because he, you know, he just he he understood like, you know, that was that that was shit what happened to your family. You know, I had shit happen to my family and whatnot. When and it's just like taking on that responsibility and Frankie just like when he found out his backstory, he just like broke down crying. It's like, oh buddy. But it's just like, but yeah, no, just all those little 85, that was the name. Yeah, that's the one. Um but yeah, and it's just like all all, you know, finding out why all these why these people all joined up and stuff, it's like okay, understandable. Um like you know, you wanted family and whatnot, and and but it's just like it's just like why why why with Dofi? He's just a piece of shit. But all like all the other backs are he's like, okay, I can sort of see, but like I said, he just comes off as you know, doesn't he's mad he doesn't get a fourth Maserati to crash. And it's just like it's just like that like he is like I said that that entitlement and just oh you know, I deserve to be able to, and it's like no, you don't deserve to destroy people's lives because what you think you're above them because you used you used to be a celestial dragon. Like, no, it's just like I do I do I do like a lot of his crew, not all of it. The the snot guy was really fucking annoying. Um, and also this the like the flower dude. Um but it's like yeah, no, I just the the majority of the crew I do, I was sort of like, okay, you know, you're you're cool. Um, you're just with a shit crew. Um but yeah, it's like just there was all the the little background stuff that was that really added to everything and whatnot. That but um yeah, it's like like I said, Dresserosa seemed to drag on a lot, and it didn't help that by the end almost half the episode for the you know previously on bit. Um but um but yeah, no, I think that's about what I gotta say about Dresser Rosa, unless you say anything else that reminds me of something else.

SPEAKER_02 2:00:56

Well, uh, I got nothing for now, but if I remember anything Dresser Rosa, I will let you know. Uh let's go ahead and get into the Zoe art. And I'm gonna be honest with you. Uh I okay. First time around when I watched it, I didn't think much of it at first. But second time around, I realized, you know what? Like I said before, like uh Zoe actually set some things up. Like for starters, is Thor hat arrived at Zoe and discovered that the devastation caused by Jack's attack on the Mink tribe, and which by the way, the Mink tribe, they were like animal people, despite their injuries, remain resilient and loyal to their allies. And the thing about it is that Zoe takes place on the back of a massive elephant called Zunisha, and Zunisha, this ancient elephant carrying Zoe, reveals his ability to communicate telepathically with certain individuals, including Luffy and Mononosuke, but only Mononosuke can communicate back to him. Now, Zunisha defeats Jack in a single blow after receiving a command from Mononosuke, and it's not just a battle between the Straw Hats and the Beast Pirates, well, the Straw Hats and the Mink uh the Mink Tribe versus the Beast Pirates of Kaido, but it's also about how they found the role opponent lift, and Robin reads it, and it's one of the four keys to finding the legendary uh island uh Rapsta.

SPEAKER_00 2:02:46

The red pun of glyphos.

SPEAKER_02 2:02:48

Yeah, the red punch said that it can leave uh Rapstale is the place where the One Piece is. So finally, we get a better indication of where the story is going as far as like how they're gonna get to the one piece rather than them just hopping from island to island. They now have to okay, they first went to Zoe, so they need to find three other red pony blips, but two of them is in possession of Big Mom and Kaido respectively. So I love how to much to Usopp's dismay. Yeah, uh, you know how y'all said that y'all are not trying to fuck with Big Mom and Kaido? Well, what if I told you you have to now?

SPEAKER_06 2:03:42

Well, they were already they had already sort of fucked with Big Mom when Luffy took over Fishman Island from her and said, you don't have to send her candy anymore.

SPEAKER_02 2:03:51

And also for Kaido because you know the small factory.

SPEAKER_06 2:03:56

Yep, exactly. So it's like, yeah, nah, even if they didn't have those road ponoglyphs, y'all already on their fucking radar.

SPEAKER_02 2:04:05

And they had to go to um Whole Cake Island because of what happened with Sanji. Like oh, let me let me talk about that real quick, by the way. Like, everything was all fine and dandy, even even though the fi the straw has got split up. But umji encounters the fire tank pirates led by um Bej the Pong, you know, uh Pong lookalike motherfucker. Uh and essentially we found out that well, first of all, we found out that Sonia had the last name.

SPEAKER_06 2:04:46

So uh and why his his poster was you know at a certain point was changed to say alive, not dead or alive, only alive. And it's like, oh, now that makes sense.

SPEAKER_02 2:05:01

And even crazier that even though maybe it was just a gag, that I can now understand why whenever people try to take Sanji's uh photo, or well not photo, but like try to uh put his image on those papers and they keep failing miserably. I I want to believe, like, in a way, it's like makes it easier for people to not recognize them as part of the Ben Smoke family, uh, who we're gonna find out later that uh they're even though they look like Power Rangers, they're like the bad guy. They're that they're obviously in fact, you know what? Think of them like I know you you probably not have watched this anime tongue, but think of them as like the Dragon Keeper from fucking uh shit, shit, shit. Uh I'm forgetting already. Uh I remember oh, go go lose the ranger. That's right, that's right. Uh essentially it's like imagine power rangers, but in fact, they it's like imagine the Power Rangers, but it's more like the boys where the bet the good guys are actually the bad guys. So it kind of had that vibe.

SPEAKER_06 2:06:17

I was just thinking, you know, like an AU of uh Power Rangers, where instead of being the good guys, they were the bad guys. There's an alternate universe where everything is flopped. Swapped, whatever. So yeah, no, that's yeah, finding that out was like book.

SPEAKER_02 2:06:35

Anyways, uh the whole thing with that was that Sandy found out that he forcibly engaged to um Big Mom's daughter, one of Big Mom's daughters, uh, because you know Big Mom has a whole bunch of kids. Uh uh Pudding, who we want to be introduced to in the later art. By the way, I'm gonna go ahead and say this now. I still don't forget Pudding. I don't care. I don't care.

SPEAKER_00 2:07:03

Really?

SPEAKER_02 2:07:04

Nope, I I don't forget that bitch. I alright. Alright, well, I mean, I get it, but no, you still did my boy with her like that. I don't appreciate that. Uh, anyways, uh, finding out that he was forced to be engaged, and he has no choice but to show up and go on with it, or else someone that he cares about is gonna die. And by the way, good luck trying to get the key to get those cuffs off you because thick mom has it.

SPEAKER_06 2:07:41

So uh the exploding cuff bracelet thing, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:07:47

So you really don't have a choice, but that's all I want to say about Sandy's um involvement with this art. Aside from that, it was mainly at first, it seemed like it was uh the two bosses, the day boss and the night boss. Um they were like beefing with each other, and the Mink tribe was caught up in all that. It was this whole rigor. Like, in fact, some of the bullshit that happened on Zoe happened while well, either before or while the Straw Hats were on Dress Rosa. So I like that how, oh, okay, shit can happen like while the straw hats were like doing something else. Okay, okay, I like that. I like that. I like the layers of it, the layers of the time. So that's going on, but then all that beat got squashed when Jack and the rest of the beast pirates keep fucking up uh things on Zoe, even to a point where Chad wanted to come back and take out the whole fucking elephant.

SPEAKER_06 2:08:54

And um well, because it's like they they were there to look for um you know for this this one ninja guy, and it's like you know, the um the the mink were all oh, we don't know who have have no idea who that is, you know, we don't have anything to do with them and stuff.

SPEAKER_02 2:09:14

And it's like first of all, I hated that. I hated that these beast pirates so hard hit to where like where's that ninja? We telling you that we don't know who he is. Like, don't lie to me.

SPEAKER_06 2:09:26

Yeah, and then it finds out that yeah, no, they were actually lying to him, they put up with all that shit, and it's like holy shit, okay.

SPEAKER_02 2:09:35

But uh also when they finally when the straw hats finally meet Ryza, I like how they assume that he was gonna do some of the same shit that that you will see in Naruto, like straight up with the hand signs and everything. It's like they think like, oh, uh, can you do a shadow clone or whatnot? And he's like, No, we don't do all that shit, like leave us alone.

SPEAKER_03 2:09:57

And then everybody and law was like, Oh, that's the point.

SPEAKER_02 2:10:01

And then uh, I think it was like either Frankie or Zoro that was like, hey man, people love uh ninjas. And then Ryo was like, All right, just this one time.

SPEAKER_06 2:10:16

Yep, it was just like it was oh my gosh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:10:20

I just love how out of the big three, Naruto is the one that gets memed on the most, where like everybody thinks that ninjas do the same shit that the ninjas do in Naruto, there's like, god damn it, Naruto ruined the ninja perspective. Like, see, uh, I know you're not on this extreme review, but when I was talking about the Sasuke reunion arc, where essentially this like the first time Naruto and Sakura uh saw Sasuke since he left um the village. And Sai, he's like this emotionally unintelligent dude. And I mean, that's like the best way I can put it. And the thing about it is this guy Sai. Even though some of the members of the Industrial were saying how much they didn't like Sai, I went to bat for him to say, hey, at least he acts like a fucking ninja. He's like, no emotion, standing on business, get the job done. That's what ninjas are supposed to do. And he doesn't do all that, even though, yeah, he does have ninjutsu, but it's not all that elaborate like everybody else, it's not all clashy and shit, but it makes sense. But it's like Sai is the type of character that wears like, okay, that's a genuine ninja right there. All the other shit you see in Naruto, Naruto's chapter, that's just for the fans. That's like spectacle and shit. Like that's not what ninjas actually do. And that's why I like with Rice though. I kind of appreciate that, uh with him saying that because I'm like, he's right though. Like ninjas don't always do all that shit, but he was like I like I loved uh

SPEAKER_06 2:12:00

Like Chopper, Luffy, and Frankie, at least doing the like the whole neme neme neem, doing like the hand signals and stuff. It's like, oh my god, you guys, you're adorable. Like, oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:15

But I'm gonna be honest with you, outside of all that, you know, uh between the straw has the meat, it's right, and also uh Mononosuke and Kana being involved and whatnot, it was a good art, but outside of that, that was about it. I mean, for me, that's the main thing that's of note. The fact that Sanji is forced to be um married, uh, the straw has gotta break up this whole uh view with the meat tribe while at the same time dealing with the beast pirates, and they find the rope on them.

SPEAKER_06 2:12:53

Well, I was saying another major point was they found out that Momonoske was actually, you know, the prince of this country, and they found out you know what all was going on in Wano and whatnot. So that was also a big part of it was them finally trusting the Straw Hats enough to tell them this secret that they've been you know keeping since you know before they everything happened in Punk Hazard.

SPEAKER_00 2:13:21

Right.

SPEAKER_06 2:13:22

Yeah, so it's like so that that was a that was a major part of it as well was finding that out and being like, you know, we need your help to reclaim our kingdom, basically.

SPEAKER_02 2:13:34

And oh uh, can I mention this before I forget? I like carrot, like as a carrot, I kind of like her to a point to where uh I know we're kind of flat forwarding. Uh Carrot, uh rabbit.

SPEAKER_06 2:13:46

Oh, yeah, she's adorable.

SPEAKER_02 2:13:48

Yeah, but check this out though. You know what really sold me on her? Uh her little transformation, right? Like at the uh tail end of the whole K IonR. I was like, hey, you know, I like her now.

SPEAKER_06 2:14:01

Yep, it was, yeah, no, that was definitely it's like because we they had they had sort of like sort of alluded to that whole thing um beforehand, and but it would to actually see it was like holy shit, this stuff's insane. It's like no wonder they can only do it under certain circumstances. Right. Oof, but yeah, no, that was that was that was yeah, she I I she's just adorable, you know. She's all preppy and stuff, and like, oh, you know, I want to let me come with her. Pouting when they were saying when uh the day and night guys were saying no, you can't, and then um Pedro was the lion, right? The lion guy, yeah, though that went with them to Wano, or to uh whole cake rather.

SPEAKER_02 2:14:51

Fucking well, that's weird because he looks like a lion because of the hair, but he got spots like a leopard.

SPEAKER_03 2:14:59

So it's like sort of he's like a liger.

SPEAKER_06 2:15:03

It's like what are you actually?

SPEAKER_03 2:15:06

I want to say he's like a liar or like a Leopard something, I don't know, but yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:15:15

What are you?

SPEAKER_06 2:15:17

He's sort of battered was like, oh come on, let her let her come with and whatnot, you know. She she's never really been out, let let that let her, you know, prove herself, sort of situation. And this is like, okay, that's that's sweet. Um, but yeah, no, I I I I like Carrot, she's she's fun.

SPEAKER_03 2:15:40

Um is there anything else I'm closing over?

SPEAKER_06 2:15:44

Um, I mean there was you know the the fight between Jack and the Minx and whatnot after you know after they the crew is already all there and they you know came back for to still looking for Raizo and whatnot. And um and you know, there's that that whole fight and the the daily the the raining when the um zenitsu no that's not it.

SPEAKER_02 2:16:12

That's from oh you're thinking demons later.

SPEAKER_06 2:16:16

Yeah, I was like, wait a second, no, that's that's the wrong like it's it's it's a similar name, but that's the wrong name. Anyways, when the the elephant you know does his you know sprays Zenisha. Zanisha, that's what it was. Okay, yeah. Um, you know, did his you know his his daily rain thing where he you know throws water on his back and whatnot, and it's like you know, they've just become jokes like that, but it's like the the beast pirates weren't expecting that, so they got washed away and whatnot, and then they tried taking them out. It's like mmm.

SPEAKER_02 2:16:46

I just remembered um the names, like the uh the leader to the name. I like they they kind of escaped me for a minute, but I remember I got it in my nose now. Uh the cat leader was Neko Mamushi, and the dog leader was the Inu Arashi.

SPEAKER_06 2:17:02

That's why I like right because Neko is literally cat and Inu is dog in Japanese, so it's like yeah, that would that that's right. Because they literally the beginning of their names were cat and dog, yeah, because that's what they were, and they played they played up on that that whole you know, cats and dogs not getting along thing a lot in in all of it.

SPEAKER_02 2:17:24

It makes me want to watch the movie. You you remember this that old movie Cats and Dogs?

SPEAKER_06 2:17:29

Oh my god, and then the cats versus dogs, uh Revenge of Kitty Glory. Yeah, I I remember those.

SPEAKER_02 2:17:38

For some reason, I'm like, maybe it's just me, but sometimes the sequel just don't hit as good as the original.

SPEAKER_06 2:17:43

Like it's yeah, that happens a lot. Like, there's the occasional one where it's like the sequel is better than the original, but that doesn't happen often. Usually it is a case of everyone was so excited for the sequel, and then it's just eh. Like at the very best, just eh.

SPEAKER_02 2:18:02

Especially, hey, listen, if you coming back with the sequel after 20 years, you better come with some heat or don't come at all.

SPEAKER_06 2:18:14

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So it's just like, but yeah, no. Um, but yeah, no, they they very much played up on that whole cats versus dog situation with the and and the day versus night, because that was also, you know, one was one was in charge of the day, the other was in charge of the night. So it's like they very much played up on that. Um but yeah, and then just you know, that that was the main thing, and then them all going and whatnot, and um, but yeah, no, that that was Zoe Zoe was a quick one, it was just a like an in-between sort of situation.

SPEAKER_02 2:18:52

Uh yeah, like dress rosa was like a hundred or so, but Zoe was like thirty. So I was like, it was like a good break from like big arts.

SPEAKER_06 2:19:03

Mm-hmm. Exactly. It was just a nice, succinct, quick one, and um, it was nice seeing Chopper getting to learn more about doctoring stuff from from the the mink um doctors and stuff.

SPEAKER_02 2:19:19

You just reminded me of something, Caesar. I thought it was funny how this dude is so incorrigible and so evil that when he was actually doing something nice for people, he was like, Oh no, I don't want people to know that I'm actually being a humanitarian. Let me just put on these glasses and uh man so they don't recognize me. Really? Really?

SPEAKER_06 2:19:47

Oh yeah, okay, yeah, I remember that now. Yeah, it's like okay. He's like, I don't want to lose my, you know, my my my big bad guy reputation. It's like whatever, bro.

SPEAKER_02 2:20:00

I'm like, man, like, see, I don't know, maybe it's me, but I just feel it comes off kind of desperate when you're trying to keep up this evil appearance. I'm like, bro, like if anything, I would say a true evil uh person keeps it. I'm gonna put it to keep it big. Like, no, no, I would say to keep it vague, like in other words, like a true evil motherfucker don't even believe that he's evil. See, if you just going around constantly calling yourself evil, I'm just gonna say you're a cartoon character. You're a cartoon character because who goes around admitting to people that they're evil? No, real evil motherfuckers never admit that they're evil, they think that they're the most righteous motherfuckers on the planet. So that's that's the one thing.

SPEAKER_03 2:20:55

If you're gonna be a villain, don't make it obvious that you're a villain.

SPEAKER_06 2:21:00

Yeah, it's like he's trying too hard, is the thing.

SPEAKER_00 2:21:03

Yeah, that's the bad thing.

SPEAKER_06 2:21:06

So it's like, yeah, no, yeah, I forgot about that whole season them forcing Caesar to help because they had his heart, you know. They were so they they use that to make him, you know, have to do the stuff because it's like you don't help, we're gonna crush your heart. And it's like, well, fuck.

SPEAKER_02 2:21:22

Can you imagine though I say, oh Caesar, it's so nice that you're being so helpful for a change. I'm like, oh well, it's not like I have a choice.

SPEAKER_06 2:21:30

Exactly. But yeah, no, it was nice just seeing Chopper able to, you know, because he he you know, he knows a lot, but it's like there there's always more to learn, especially when it comes to medicine and whatnot. So it was it was nice seeing him be able to learn some more stuff that helps him do, you know, his aside from the fighting and stuff, like hit his main thing is he's the doctor. So it's nice seeing him able to learn more to help him do that part of his job.

SPEAKER_02 2:22:02

Right. So but yeah, no, other than that, like like said, I'm sorry, warm or crazy how Caesar was the reason why the whole gas situation was a thing, and I like how they beat up onto you.

SPEAKER_03 2:22:21

So you're the reason why I know this? Uh and he was acting so proud of it too. I'm like, oh damn, I didn't know my gas was that effective.

SPEAKER_06 2:22:27

Yeah, yep. It was just like, oh bro, fuck you.

SPEAKER_03 2:22:32

I'm like, not the time, bro. Not the time. In fact, I would have I would have kept it to myself. I wouldn't have said that, bro.

SPEAKER_06 2:22:39

Yeah, no kidding. Like, nah, you should have kept that to yourself. So yeah, but yeah. Other than that, I think that's about all I gotta say about Zoe. Um so because yeah, like like I said, it was a much it was a very much in-between major things arc. So like it was very important, but it was very much the in-between situation.

SPEAKER_02 2:23:07

It's it kind of gave off that same bot that I was saying about Fishman Island, to which it's not filler, but it feels like filler.

SPEAKER_06 2:23:15

Yeah, yep, because it's like it's both both situations, they both set up a lot of important shit, but it still sort of felt a little fillery-ish.

SPEAKER_02 2:23:24

Yeah, it's almost like it it kind of how can I put this? It's almost like it kind of expanded the road, but in itself, it's like not much spectacle happened in these arts. So it was like there's nothing about well, unless you're like paying attention to it, or like those details like we just mentioned, but outside of that, it's like it wasn't some grand spectacle like Marine Ford or Enes Lobby or Dress Rose, that's where it's like shit was fucking happening on these arcs.

SPEAKER_06 2:24:01

Yeah, there was there was no real big bad guy to take down during this arc. I mean, we got had Jack show up a couple times, um, but that was about it. It's like they're on their way to the next big bad.

SPEAKER_02 2:24:14

Right. And man, you know what? I can't wait because uh after this, it's whole King Island, Wano, and Egghead Island, where shit is heavy. Like, I'm gonna be honest with you. I remember like it was yesterday to where my first time just binge watching One Piece, like this back-to-back episodes. By the time I got the whole cake island, that was when my first time around, that was uh whole cake island was still new, but it was still airing. Like it in fact, yeah, I started as soon as Whole Cake Island was about to end. So I was like thinking, okay, let me go ahead and start now. So by the time I get there, it'll be ending, and I'll be like, all right, I'm all caught up. And if I want to, I can just read the manga if I want to read more about Wano, uh, Egghead Island, Elba, and whatnot. And I try not to get too deep into the manga because my problem is if I know too much, it's gonna be hard for me to keep that information to myself. So I'm like, yeah, you know what? For the sake of this review, I'm just gonna stay away from the manga until we get closer to like Egghead Island. Then I'm like, all right, well, to be fair, we're getting into manga territory now, so fuck it.

SPEAKER_06 2:25:40

You know, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:25:42

But no, like, yeah, because if I know too much, I'm it's just gonna bleed into this part of the review one night, then we're just gonna be here all fucking day. But uh with that being said, we're gonna go ahead and go into intermission right here, and after that, we're gonna be talking about Whole Cake Island in its entirety, and we're gonna be pretty much done, or at least caught up with One Piece, because we hear in the news that uh starting in 2026, we're no longer doing a whole weekly release to where it's gonna be more structured, to where okay, you get in like a set amount per year. So that might guarantee like higher quality episodes like I wano oh no.

SPEAKER_00 2:26:38

Oh, when you I'm telling you when you get to the Joy Boy part of God damn that animation shift is like it's like I get to it soon.

SPEAKER_02 2:26:58

It's like when I was watching Dragon Ball, right? And you get you watch Dragon Ball Super Broly, and I'm like, God damn, like where was the budget? Well, what this shit looked like the animation in that movie was so amazing. It's like, damn, like I wish the series was like this. But uh, yeah, like one oh man, I I fucking love how okay, even before the fight with Haido, like the way they change the art style where it's like all beautiful and like signing and whatnot, like god damn, like y'all really putting big money into the budget now. Okay, but yeah, we're going to intermission. Uh next time on the one piece extreme review, we will be talking about the whole cake island arc.

Whole Cake Island Starts Getting Heavy

SPEAKER_02 2:28:00

What up, gang? We are continuing the one piece extreme review with whole cake island, and this is one of those arcs where I would say Enz Lobby and Marine Forge, but once you get to Whole Cake Island at this point, it just gets better from here, and also you might as well finish up uh get caught up with uh anime manga at this point because it just it just gets thick in this part, so it took us a while to get to here, but we are here, so let's go ahead and zone in on it. I thought whole cake island at the time when it was new. I was like, damn, like they topped themselves again because there was a lot going on in Whole Cake Island that got me thinking, wow, like it just kind of hitting on a lot of beats. Whether it's uh Sanji with his family, uh the backstory behind that, and the whole wedding arrangement, and the straw hats fighting against Big Mom and her pirates in order to get their friend back, but man, the trials and tribulation they had to go through to do that. Tenara, how you feel about this arc?

SPEAKER_06 2:29:26

It was definitely it was a good one. Um I it's always it's always a good arc when we get backstory for any of the crew. Um that seems to be a pretty consistent thing when we get that that backstory stuff going on and and learning more about them. And um just, you know, and the fact that it's like the whole time, you know, on Sanji's thing, he was the only one that it was, you know, alive only. And it's like, and it didn't really click, I feel like, until we get there. It's like, oh shit, okay, now that makes sense. It was like, and just and but yeah, no, and his whole family being basically like you know, super engineered, blah blah blah, and like it it yeah, it was it was it was definitely a good arc though, and and just you know trying trying to get get you know the whole crew back and whatnot, and mean meeting all the different frickin' big moms families, just huge ass family. Yeah, like we we get we went so many new characters in this, it's like holy shit.

SPEAKER_02 2:30:47

Okay, and I'm gonna be honest with you. We're probably not gonna talk about a whole lot of the characters, but really, I'm not trying to drag this out because a lot of people already did a one piece review, like oh my like you can go on YouTube, man, you can see all people who dare to try to do so because like uh Frank said totally not Mark, he just finished up uh season one review, so like essentially he already got all the way up to Egghead Island, and we're just pretty much gonna be diving into L Bath um by the time April rolls in for the anime only. But uh if you're already reading the manga, then you already have an idea of what's going down in L Bath, but um, yeah, like I'm not trying to uh take up too much time. I'm just letting y'all know how I'm feeling about whole K Island. For starters, let's talk about Sandy, like the whole backstory behind that, where yeah, Jerma 66 looking like Power Range is not gonna lie. But most of them are real assholes. Like the only solid one would be Rage, the only girl in the whole Ben Smoke sibling pack.

SPEAKER_06 2:32:11

Yeah, the only one that seemed to have any empathy at all.

SPEAKER_02 2:32:16

Yeah. Uh, and then the rest of the brothers, they were just like real assholes, and of course, judge their father didn't make any very sense leading them, uh being the way he is, dogmatic and all that. He believes that, oh, if you're not strong, then you're worthless and type shit. And they just treated Sanji like shit because not only was he being kind and empathetic of others, but also his abilities like were different in a way where um he wasn't like immediately useful to advanced smoke family, so they just picked on four. Like, hell, even I like how there's one detail that I just not noticing how design-wise, Sanji is the only one of the boys whose eyebro in the opposite direction. I did not notice that until the rewatch. I was like, wait, hold on.

SPEAKER_06 2:33:18

I yeah, I did not notice that. That's huh. It makes sense because you know, he's you know, basically the opposite of the rest of them, and so it's like, huh. Yeah, no, I don't have to had no idea. Yeah, shit.

SPEAKER_02 2:33:37

And it's brings out okay, they used to be like running the North Blue, right? They used to, but what's going down is between them and

Sanji’s Family Trauma And Pudding Debate

SPEAKER_02 2:33:50

Beiji, you know, the Al Capone looking pirate, they're trying to get into big mom races in order to get some things. Out of it. Beige, you know, he just pretty much allies to himself with whoever he can to, you know, get by. But with German66, the Vince Smokes, they simply just want uh more power. And well, pretty much the same thing Beige wants. Like they just want more power by associating with a Yonka, an Emperor of C. So they made this whole plan to where, okay, Sandy, my boy, I know it's been a while. We've been trying to hunt you down, trying to find you on the boat. Hey, listen, listen, things have changed. So um, you're gonna have to marry one of Big Mom's kids, and that way our family's stronger. So you you gotta do this for me. I'm like, uh, um, I don't wanna hey hey hey fam, listen, we're not giving you a choice, like okay. Put this those braces on, I forgot what braces, and essentially, if you get run away from this, you blow up, and we're really not giving you a choice. Like they they were really not giving a choice in the matter. So he had to go run off and get married to pudding, and like I said in the last part, I stand by what I said where I'm like, I don't know if I still I'm not very as far as forgiving pudding. Because think about it, think about it like this, Tonara. Even if Big Mom put her up to it, that conversation though, that conversation that Sandy wasn't meant to hear, I'm sitting there like, this bitch here. And I'm also convinced that she doesn't, um, big mom didn't have to be in her ear for that. No, no, no. I honestly thought that I was convinced enough to her. I'm like, nah, this bitch actually feels this is her on her own twirl. And yeah, even with the third eye and whatnot, I'm like, and it's kind of fucked up, but hey yo, yeah, she got a change of part and whatnot. And the second half, where you know, like she didn't want the fact that okay, if Sandy, whether Sonny goes through with it or not, putting plan on kidding him, killing him anyways. And I was like, wow, like Sonny was like really fucked in the situation, and I don't know, like I just thought and I was like so fucked up the first time around when I saw that shit. And like the second time around, okay, I can I dealt with it a little bit better, but the first time I was like, God damn. And you know how boy feels about being a prince and whatnot. He even went as far as comes of uh Mr. Prince way back um in that one arc and idea, yeah, yeah. Alabaster, it was Alabaster, right, right, right. Um, I was thinking Alabaster was somewhere around the baseline like adjacent to Alabasta.

SPEAKER_06 2:37:12

But um well, yeah, because it really started on the the that ancient island, you know, when he took over, he um he was talking to Crocodile on the Den Den Mushi and said, Yeah, this is um Mr. Prince, and then it's like and then that was what he continued on with when they got to Alabasta, but yeah, no, it was it was yeah, Alabasta and the one before, right, little guys, right?

SPEAKER_02 2:37:40

See, that really broke his heart because he was a lover boy, um, to his soul, and it just really fucked him up where Zimm, oh um, he was gonna, you know, do his thing, but it just picked on him for that. Like, oh, he thinks he's a prince. That's so fucking pathetic. I don't like more than like just really learned to knife in and twisted one piece.

SPEAKER_06 2:38:11

Yeah, and with with putting, I still I I agree with, I still am not quite sure if I really like her. Like, obviously, she you know, she helped them in the end, but at the same time, it's just like the the other stuff she's done, it's like girl, what so yeah, I I agree with you on that. Not not not really sure, you know, if she gets that pass yet or not.

SPEAKER_01 2:38:34

Right.

SPEAKER_02 2:38:36

Um what even what cut me up a little bit more than that though was the confrontation between Sanji and Luffy. When Luffy just found Sanji in that fucking carriage or whatnot, but Sanji like kicked him out and he had to play it off while he was uh really going through with it. He had to really say some really offensive shit just to um have Luffy get to the point that hey yo, like I gotta go through with this. But uh they had that whole fight, and after all that, you know, rain came down and Luffy said to Ayo, I'm not gonna eat a damn ounce of food unless you cook it, and I'm gonna be standing right here when you're ready.

Luffy Refuses Food Until Sanji

SPEAKER_04 2:39:26

Yeah, that was like, oh god.

SPEAKER_06 2:39:33

That that yeah, that that whole scene, it was just like, oh my god, and just you you know, you could tell Sanji was just like he wanted to, but he's like, I I you know he has to do this thing because you know he has the cuffs and whatnot, and it's just like but he just it's just like oh god, my heart, my heart.

SPEAKER_02 2:39:54

Right. Uh what else is going on? I mean, I'm trying to think, um at first, like there were like some emotional pieces where I'm like, yeah. Uh because they're like more laid. See, that's the thing, like, I don't just count just the action that goes down in anime or anything like that. Uh, I go for like I'm I'm I want to see the emotional moments. I want to see the humanity behind it all. I want to, I'm in here for the themes and the morality and you know some some takeaway and all that. And I'm trying to think of all like I'm trying to remember everything that um that went down because like I said, um, once you get to Whole Kick Island, is it thick. Like each one in the world, like Whole Kick Island definitely wano. Uh Egghead Island is shorter, but it's more dialogue-heavy with uh Vegapon uh revealing what's been going on with uh Voice Century and whatnot. So it's more like okay, uh, you're gonna have to pay attention to some of the lore drops that he uh speaks about when we get there. Uh but I'm trying to think uh what else because I didn't want to dive right into the action, but I'm trying to think uh was it something else? But I don't want to fucking um Yeah Mr. did have to quite a whole bunch of different uh big moms children, like I still remember this one child, uh Graham, like Graham Cracker or something like that. Like, first of all, his design was just I he was just a big old Graham cracker, it's like just hard not to remember that. And even though he gave Luffy quite a challenge trying to, you know, him trying to get to Sanji, and I heard it took like it was like either hours or days or something like that. But yeah, like at that point, things were just going down. Like I like how Brooke, I like how Brooke tried to uh in order to get that opponent whip, like the print of a pony whip, excuse me, like he had to sneak in and try to get it from Big Mom, and he had the whole confrontation with her. Uh oh man, okay, okay. I do remember two lines from two different characters that they say to Big Mom that kind of stuck with me. Now, the first one was Jinbei, where even on that one scene where he was in front of Big Mom, he had that uh Kabasaki and he put that shit down, and he was like, any man that's sailing with, well, I'm paraphrasing, I don't know the exact words heart by heart, but just hear me out. Any man that plans on sailing with the future king of the pirates cannot afford to tremble in the face of a mere emperor.

SPEAKER_01 2:43:18

I was like, God damn, I need a drink for that one.

SPEAKER_04 2:43:21

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, there was some definitely raw lines. They were like, damn.

SPEAKER_02 2:43:28

And the second one, and circling back to Brooke, I like how my boy Brooke, he big mom tried to confront him, and he she was like saying, uh, do you really um is this your whole plan here? Just trying to infiltrate whatnot on all that shit. And here's the line: the line was

Big Mom Backstory Gets Dark

SPEAKER_02 2:43:52

only a fool plans for their death, young lady. I was like, it's no, the way he said it though, it was it was the way he said it that really got me. Like he did like real serious, like he was not fucking around.

SPEAKER_04 2:44:05

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_06 2:44:07

And it's like, yeah, no, it's and it's like, yeah, no, it's it's it's it's like yeah, no, Brooke, Brooke is, you know, he's old. He you know, died, became a skeleton before coming his his pairs able to find his body again, so it's like, yeah, no. It's like the the young lady. It's just like but it's like yeah, no, that that'd be the case.

SPEAKER_04 2:44:30

And but yeah, no, his oh, yeah. Yep, no, they they were they were definitely cooking with some of these lines.

SPEAKER_01 2:44:44

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:44:46

What else about it? Uh I don't want to like skim over too much. I'm I'm want I kind of want to do it a little just because even though uh I mentioned a little bit about putting and to be fair, like she did come off kind of sweet towards Luffy and Ami when they got captured and whatnot, but I'm like thinking, uh something's not right about her. She just seemed too normal, like, like even design-wise, where it was like, okay, she seemed like a normal girl, right? But then like that third eye popped out, and I'm like, oh, okay, what the hell is this? But yeah, um, I'm trying to think what else went down that I want to talk about because there's there is the obvious thing that I want to talk about. There is an obvious thing, but I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything before I really get there. Uh, I know there was uh whole bunch of people that bought like uh that one guy, Pedro, the um the lion-looking guy that lost his eye. Yeah, like he we got backstorring him too. Well, no, I want to say he's not a lion. It's more like he's a leopard with um fairly long blonde hair. Like, see, the blonde hair just makes you think he looked like a lion, but no, he's more like a leper with hair, like you know, kind of like a prince. Uh oh yeah, let's not forget Carrie, she's also kind of in the mix too.

SPEAKER_04 2:46:20

Yeah, yep. Because she came she just came along and whatnot, and yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:46:27

Uh one moment. I'm trying to look through my notes here.

SPEAKER_02 2:46:35

Um okay, so there was old wedding ceremony, right? Where it was intended to be as calm before a storm erupts into chaos, and uh I like the drink, by the way. Like what what they had going on, especially with Luffy where yeah, like uh uh little uh Sue with a he wasn't wearing pants, but he was wearing shorts, but yeah, on his little suit and a hat, and everybody was looking kind of clean now. Hold on. And I'm sorry, uh I it sounds like I'm stumbling and whatnot, but like oh shit, I remember now. Big mom's backstory. How this girl, like, first of all, she was like a fairly big girl, even when she was little, but like she got dumped on this island, and this old lady was raising her, right? But turns out that she was a piece of shit as well. So they were pretty much raising her, like, rotten to her spoiler rotten to where like she just eat a whole bunch of food, and eventually here's where it gets kind of dark. I think what happened was like she was eating so much that at some point she just not only did the food run out, but at some point, I think she ate some of the residence there.

SPEAKER_06 2:48:11

I was gonna say, because it wasn't it like an orphanage sort of situation, and like she ate the other kids.

SPEAKER_02 2:48:17

Yeah, and I'll like it was implied, but like, hold on the way they said it though is like they ran out of food, and the next thing you know, everybody was gone except her, and she was the only one there. So I'm like, wait, did she eat who's pee? Good lord, I think she's a camel.

SPEAKER_06 2:48:42

I mean, I then like it's bad enough that she looks like well wasn't it like during one of her hunger paying things where she just she just lost all control trying to find you know food and whatnot that that that that she ate them.

SPEAKER_02 2:49:01

That's what it was. Like she was just getting so hungry that whatever works, and you know what? Now I think about it, I'm thinking, well, now I remember she's a big allegory to that one witch in the Hansel and Gretel stories where you know, with the gingerbread house and uh putting those kids in the ovens and shit.

SPEAKER_01 2:49:23

And because I don't know why, because just imagine this big bitch, excuse me I'm sorry, but she is, but uh she hold on, I'm getting a phone call.

SPEAKER_02 2:49:41

Uh I don't know why you keep trying to call me, but um uh but oh yeah one big allegory because like it's uh kind of reminds me of well it's different like like uh adaptation, iterations of the story, but she just gave me those vibes that she would be the type that would eat people if she had no other choice. Um sorry, like I just got thrown off long receiving that phone call. Uh that backstory just man, just it is we were talking about backstories, and that's one where I'm like, well, that's kind of crazy that she grew up like that, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_06 2:50:53

Yeah, I definitely had a crazy childhood, and just like yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:51:02

Um okay, you know what? At this point, not a whole lot.

SPEAKER_02 2:51:08

I mean, there's there's a lot going on, like, trust me, there was a lot going on, but like in typical JB fashion, I gotta be true to myself where I'm like, fuck it, we ball. I wanna go ahead and talk about what I really want to talk about. Luffy versus Katakuri.

Luffy Vs Katakuri And Masks

SPEAKER_02 2:51:44

It's just the way he was using his powers that was like a perfect comp almost like the same as Luffy, but on a higher, tougher caliber. You know how like with Venom, he's pretty much just Spider-Man, but bigger. That's the same vibe that I was getting with this whole fight, uh, leading up to the whole thing with Snake Man. And oh man, I fucking love the design for Snake Man. By the way, I did. Because for some reason, I was thinking, like, okay, kind of reminding me of Super Saiyan 4 Goku for some reason. Not exactly, but in a way, like I wanna say, like the kind of vibes, like uh almost like I'm capable of this. It looked like normally you expect um Goku to be like this goofball type character, but then get this new transformation, he looks serious as hell, almost primal in this Super Saiyan 4 form. And that's the same guy I was getting with Snake Man, uh Lupi, where it just seemed like there was something primal about this form that liked. Uh I was kind of digging it because it felt like one of those fights where, yeah, like Luffy did have like pretty good fights before. But I don't know why, but this this was the first time where I like I felt locked in to a fight that Luffy was in. The first time, like uh, I mean, not to discount dopey or Arlong or Crocodile, any of those other guys. I can definitely do that to uh email because uh Luffy kind of did go dirty to a point where I'm like, oh, this guy thought he was a god up until you realize that oh shit.

SPEAKER_06 2:53:35

I never heard of a rubber before I never heard of a rubber man, rubber man before uh yeah, like the one thing that is immune to your powers, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:53:51

You just have to be made of it. Well, not really made of it. In fact, by the time we get to one oh, no, no, no, not even one-oh. When we do get to Egghead Island, we'll get explanation to Lupe's physiology, so to speak. But um, I'm telling you, man, like once really, I want I dare say once you get to Wano, that's the one where it's like the most hype arc of the whole anime. Like, everything else, like everything was good, but like this is the one where it changed everything. Like, even as far as like the lore. But man, when we get there, I'm really trying to get there. So, like, you could say not to do whole K Island too much injustice, but let's just be real at this point. I just kind of want to get to Wano and Egghead Island, so I I can talk about what I really want to talk about. But the main thing from Whole K Island that I really liked was Luffy versus Carter Carey. That was one the old uh clashing of fists and all that, and ideals. And by the way, I like how Carter Carey is this kind of character to where he uh put on this front, like uh act up and whatnot. But first of all, he has this insecurity about his mouth, and also uh he eats alone because he don't like people thinking that oh he kind of soft when he wants to be. No, uh he gotta put on this front that he gotta be hard and uh a reliable leader at all times. And but at least, unlike other villains in this series, at least he cares about his people to where hey yo, I'm not gonna have y'all risk your lives for this whole plan. Like, if it looks like if it looks bad, get out, get out of there, just get out of there. So, and I also do appreciate how like After all this, it's it's more like, hey, you know, I kind of respect you now, but uh we don't really see him anymore. But like at the very least, Carter Curry is one of those villains where you know what? I'm kind of glad they didn't kill him off. I mean, then again, I don't think they barely kill off villains in this one. Like it had to be like almost like a complete accident if you get killed off in this series, apparently. Like for some reason, everybody sticks around. Unless you get like locked up in pill down or something.

SPEAKER_00 2:56:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:56:36

Everybody sticks around. Uh man, like, uh, what can I tell you? Like, it was so good, like Sanji getting that closure, that confrontation with his father, his brothers, and whatnot. Um, you know, in the end, the straw has is his real family, but he kind of gets that closure now, dealing with his family now.

SPEAKER_01 2:57:00

Uh oh, Nami.

SPEAKER_02 2:57:02

She gets hold of Zeus now. Because like that from big moms, so Nancy's like kind of a weather goddess, like a low-key weather goddess at this point now. I did like that. Oh yeah. And Carrot with her transformation. I I did like that. I I'm digging that. Oh yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Like, what was it called again? Too long. Right, right, right, right, right. Was there anything else? Uh I'm gonna be honest with y'all. Like, no, no, no, I'm I'm not gonna say that. Like, um, don't do that. But yeah, like I'm gonna be honest with y'all. I really do like the whole gate island art, but I'm not gonna waste y'all time too. Like, also, I'm gonna be honest with you. After months of doing solo reviews, I got to a point where I kind of want to do this thing where I don't want to give away too much. Especially depending on if you didn't see one piece, I don't want to spoil too much. Even if you did see it, then well, to be fair, I'm not really saying anything that y'all probably didn't pick up on already. But like I said before, I'm just letting y'all know how I'm feeling about it, what I loved about it, what I hated about it, if it applied, then honestly, I can't really say I hate it. Well, no, no, no. I take that back. Still hated the whole thing with pudding, but that was about it. That was more like a nitpick of anything. But I kind of get that for the sake of storytelling and whatnot. It makes sense, but I'm like, that's the only that was the main thing. That was the main thing.

SPEAKER_04 2:58:55

Well, and then for me, also when um that one really annoying girl, I don't remember what I don't remember her name was, I don't even remember her power was, but she has like what basically looks like an overflowing diaper on, you know, the one I'm talking about?

SPEAKER_06 2:59:11

Who's who is all oh big brother kind of curry, big brother kind of curry, and then she saw his mouth and all of a sudden like turns against him just because of his mouth situation and like you know, beats up on him and stuff. It's like, geez Louise, what kind of bitch are you?

SPEAKER_02 2:59:31

See, that was the thing, like he knew that was gonna happen, so like, yep, he's gonna have to like cover up that mouth and eat alone if he wanna see that one kind of pissed me off about people in general. Like, can I be real with you real quick, you know? Can I can I trash up like real quick? Like I really hate it when people act like you gotta keep put it on this front. Otherwise, oh, you're gonna lose respect. Okay, okay. It's one thing if you're doing something morally wrong, like something like illegal and whatnot. I get it, like, but at the same time, if it's like things that are like harmless. Like, say for instance, way before being a nerd was even cool. Like, imagine you go into school and you gotta put on this front where like you're like one of the cool kids, right? But deep down, you're like a nerd that likes DD and card games and video games and all the other jazz, but you can't let people know that otherwise, or what they think differently of me. And it's just kind of crazy how like I'm kind of new the whole time, but as I'm getting older, it's getting more and more maddening when I see all these different people wearing these masks, trying to put on this front, and it just feels like nobody's being real here, where everybody's gotta like pretend to be something that they're not in order. God forbid if anybody else thinks differently of me because of how I really am. And I'm like, if everybody was like that, then why what's the point of the planet to why are we putting on these fronts anymore?

SPEAKER_06 3:01:21

Like well, and that's one thing with with anime and DD and all that kind of stuff becoming more mainstream is I feel like people don't have to hide it anymore like they used to.

SPEAKER_02 3:01:34

Yeah, and I'm glad about that too.

SPEAKER_06 3:01:37

Yeah, I mean, obviously, there's still, you know, there's still gonna be people that are gonna be like, oh, that's so lame, you're so s you know, whatever. But um, because it has become more mainstream, there's less of that.

SPEAKER_02 3:01:51

Yeah. But that's that the kind of thing where it's like outside of that, it's always something where it's almost like you always gotta uh it's actually kind of crazy where one of the biggest lies I was ever told. Well, I don't know if it's even a lie anymore, because it is true, but the part when people tell you to be yourself, but at the same time, they kind of judge you when you're actually trying to be yourself, and it's almost like, can you like be normal? And I'm like, I'm sorry, what the fuck is normal? What's normal to you? Because normal is subjective. And what I'm trying to get at is I kind of feel for Kata Kuri in the sense where he on one hand, yes, um, being strong, capable leader, of course, that goes without saying, but I just don't like the phoniness of it all. And not to say that he was being phony, I just don't like how the implication that you have to be kind of phony in order for people to maintain this image of respect for you. Almost like, okay, like, say for instance, superheroes, you know, like Superman, Batman, blah, blah, blah. They gotta uh, there's these expectations and whatnot where, oh, you're supposed to be moving like this, that, and the third, and the more human you act, the less they like you or respect you. But if we're all like this, then once again, what's the point of the mask? Oh yeah. I don't know. Like, I just felt for him in the sense where, like, once people do know, okay, that's what he looks like, and he actually does like enjoys eating his food the way that he does. And I'm like, I kind of want it for him to where like he can feel free to do that whenever he wants, wherever he wants. Like, you don't have to worry about anybody like judging him for like being a foodie, a connoisseur or whatnot. I'm like, hey man, look man into himself. Like, hey, we're all human. Like, why can't we? That's all I'm saying. Like, it's just maddening the idea of even in your own home, you gotta feel like you gotta wear this mask because God forbid if anybody thinks less of you for being a little human. It's the crazy part for me. That's the only thing. Like, once again, if it's like illegal or immorally wrong, hey, I can't I can't back you on that. But if it's like simple shit where I'm like, hey man, this ain't hurting anybody, it's his preference or her preference. Can we just let them have something, you know? Let them have their thing. But yeah, you know, that's all like yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 3:05:04

It's it's just yeah, he, you know, he felt he had to play that, you know, cool older brother role. And you know, cool older brothers, they don't they don't eat sweet stuff, you know, when you know, they don't have, you know, they're they're they're perfect, they they you know protect their family, they are the you know, strong role model to look up to, and it's like but they're still, you know, I mean, I was gonna say human, but you know, not many people in the One Piece universe are just fully human.

SPEAKER_02 3:05:40

You know what? I am so glad that you said that because I had to remember I I have an older brother, and at this point, like he's trying to hold it down in case anything going on with my parents or any of the other siblings or whatnot. So he's taking on a whole bunch of responsibility these days, and I respect that, my brother. Like, see, I always had mad respect for my brother. And I know sometimes it gets hard and he's like busy doing his work and whatnot. And my main thing is that, bro, listen, I see what you're doing, I know you're busy, that's why I'm not trying to breathe on your neck and whatnot when I need your help with whatnot. Like, hey, yo, listen, if you're busy or gonna need more time, let me know. I will understand. Because at the end of the day, although in a way you're kind of running around like a superhero, I will never, well, you know, never say never, but I try to remind myself that hey yo, we're all human. So, bro, it's okay to be human. And to all the nerds and nerds listening to this stream of you, if you got this far into this stream of youth, first of all, thank you. I I I really thank you for fucking with us with the zone or the one that's like, you know, for real. But to all you, any of you having to listen to this, if there's anything that I want you to take away from this section of the one pieces review, or anything else, I'm telling you, it's okay to be human. It's okay. And you know, on that note, since I got um other reviews and whatnot on Tenora, do you have anything else you want to speak on with Holkade Island? Because I'm kind of ready to close it out. On that note, I'm kinda I'm kinda good now.

SPEAKER_05 3:07:48

Yeah, I think that's a good note to go out on for sure. I think I think that's about covers it, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:07:55

Yeah. So with that being said, Wano is next. Then after that, Egghead Island, and we're giving one piece of rest until El Bath concludes. Well, not conclude, conclude, but more like you know how they're doing it nowadays, seasonal where they're gonna have to chop it up into chunks where same thing with uh Dragon Ball Super coming back, baby. Um, they had to chop it up into chunks now, instead of the whole, oh yeah, let's have like a hundred or two hundred episodes in one season, like they're doing black pulver. Um now that black pulver is also coming back, they gotta have to chop that up a little bit because we can't keep doing the whole weekly, or I don't know when we're gonna stop, but we're just gonna keep the train going. That type of stuff. Like, yeah, they're gonna have to chop it up. So like maybe 12, maybe 24. I don't know yet. I don't know the episode count yet, but I will let y'all know as soon as I can. But yeah, uh, once we get to a good stopping point in the L Bath anime, we'll talk about that. But other than otherwise, just Wano and Egghead, and we're almost done. So uh let's go ahead and get prepared for that and go into the animation right now.

Wano Begins With Famine And Tyranny

SPEAKER_02 3:09:19

Alright, gang, we are continuing the One Piece Extreme Review with the Wano Country R. Finally, we are here. Like, because trust me. If Enos Lobby didn't do it for you, if Marine Ford didn't do it for you, if Salvador doesn't do it for you, if Tris Rosa doesn't do it for you, if Whole Cake Island doesn't do it for you, by the time you get to Wano, it changes everything. Like animation, the thick ass storytelling, the character developments, and everything. Like Wano feels well, see, here's the thing for Wano. I always thought that each art felt like a story within a story, but Wano is like a whole fucking show within a show because that's 197 episodes. That's like damn near 200 chapters in the manga. So let's go ahead and break this down like a fraction. And thankfully, I have Snar here to help me out with this review. So let's go ahead and get started. The one-of-country arc, the longest and one of the most epic storylines in One Piece, traditionally broken down into a three-act structure mirroring a classic Japanese kabuki play, culminating a massive war on the ice island of Onigashima. Is like I said, 197 episodes. Just gonna be grouping them up by narrative acts and major structural monotone. So let's get into act one, the arrival in the assembly. So we have the straw hats, their allies infiltrating Wano, this isolated nation ruled by this tyrannical shogun, uh Kurozumi Orochi. That fuckhead. And backed by the Emperor of the Sea Kaido. Uh, I'm about to get to you in just a moment, Tanara. Uh, just gotta get through these uh four points, and we'll be at two. So we have the equivalent in the meeting. Uh, Luffy watches ashore in Wano after navigating his treacherous waterfall barrier. He meets Tama, a young, impoverished uh girl who gives him her only bowl of rights, exposing the extreme famine plaguing Wano citizens outside the Capitol. And you know how Luffy loves foods though. When he sees uh innocent people starving, it's like, nah, don't sit right in his spirit right there. Yeah. Now, the reunion, Luffy reunites with Zoro, and together they rescue Tama from Kaido's subordinates. They meet up with uh Trafalgar Law, man, that's my boy, and head to the ruins of Olding Castle. The 20-year secret is uh Kinemon reveals the shocking truth to the alliance that he, Momonosuke, Kanju, Raijo, uh, excuse me, Raizo, excuse me, uh Tiku are athlete time travelers sent 20 years into the future by Momonosuke's mother, Toki Kozuki, following the death of Lord Odin. Now, see, at first, when I first uh was trying to catch up to Wano, I was like kind of confused. I thought some of these characters died already, but like, oh right, alright, they did a whole time travel, time skip type thing. It was like, okay, they just kind of jumped into the future. Almost like a reverse in the age, where it's like, or you could say future on them anyway, but 20 years. Uh and then last but not least, for at one, we have Luffy versus Kaido round one. Kaido appears in this massive blue dragon form, obliterates Odin Castle with his uh flame breath or bolo brother, whatever you want to call it. Uh, enraged by this, Luffy attacks Kaido with everything he has, even going with the gear forward to try to take him down. But Kaido, completely unfazed and drunk, by the way, knocks Luffy out with a single strike of his cloth with that thunderbar, and Luffy is dragged off to the Udon prison lines. That is at one. How are you feeling?

SPEAKER_06 3:13:32

Feeling good. Um, yeah, it's just the you know, meeting all the the people on Wano, and that that sort of sound you made when you talked about Orochi. It's like, yeah, no, fuck Orochi.

SPEAKER_00 3:13:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 3:13:48

It's like, nah, I, you know, you find out later on, you know, he has the the Hydra fruit and whatnot, and like um, you know, later on when he gets killed, and it's like it was like it's not gonna be that easy, not with that kind of fruit. He like that's one of the like Marco, you know, has the Phoenix. And it's like it's it's like no a Hydra is you know a mythical creature, there's something more to this, and then we find out later on that yeah, and I was like, God damn it, why'd it have to be it was a mythical Zoe and fruit, yeah. Yep, because it's it's it's the you know, it's the the hydra. You cut off one head and two replace it, and it's like fuck. And on top of that, I sort of figured what no.

SPEAKER_02 3:14:29

I was saying like on top of that, there was like some times where you thought he was dead and then just keep coming back, and I'm like, Yep, that sounds alright for Hydra.

SPEAKER_06 3:14:37

Yep, exactly. It's like you know, cut off one head and two take its place. It's like this dude's not gonna die that easy, unfortunately. I wish, but no.

SPEAKER_02 3:14:46

Oh, speaking of which, I got a theory for you at the end of all this.

SPEAKER_05 3:14:50

Oh shit, big brain time.

SPEAKER_02 3:14:52

Yeah, big brain time. Uh any more thoughts on F1?

SPEAKER_06 3:14:59

No, it was basically, you know, introductions and whatnot, and meeting the the new players and stuff, and um, and yeah, and you know, Luffy getting locked up. Um I just and I I can't remember the first time when it was Luffy Law and Kid. Was that the was that that time when they were facing up? Was that from the first one? Um, for the first arc? I can't remember when that one was the first the first time that those three went up against him together. Um that was before they got taken to prison, right?

SPEAKER_02 3:15:40

No, no, no. Um all three together was until act three. Like act one was more like Luffy faced off with him alone, and then as soon as he got sent to Udon, he found out that Kid also was in prison because he uh kid tried um Kaida before, but like he already got taken out, so yeah.

SPEAKER_06 3:16:01

That's right, that's right. Okay, I'll let you know.

SPEAKER_00 3:16:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 3:16:07

Okay, but yeah, so no, you know, that was basically basically your points you made. That was that was the first act, was just you know, a lot of introductions and you know, plan laying and whatnot, and yeah, so yeah, that's for act one.

SPEAKER_02 3:16:25

Alrighty. Now, act two,

Prison Training And Ryuo Mastery

SPEAKER_02 3:16:28

the rebellion plan and Odin's backstory. Now, while Luffy builds an army from inside the prison, the alliance gather on the outside, preparing for a stealth raid on Kaido's stronghold during the fire festival. Now, in the Udan prison mine, Luffy is put to hard labor alongside Eustace Kid, like I mentioned before. Uh, he meets old man Heogoro, uh, the former legendary Wano Yakuza boss, uh, Hyogoro T Luffy Garyo, which is like an advanced form of armament harky that flows outside the body, which Luffy needs to pierce titles in destructible skills, because the thing is, he needs to learn how to strike at an opponent without actually touching him. And there was like this whole arc about that. So, really, I thought uh him getting locked up was just one big training art for him. Basically, yeah. You know, he's gonna break out and all that shit, like make friends and all that. It's just one big training art for him.

SPEAKER_00 3:17:26

Mm-hmm. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 3:17:28

But oh, here's when it gets kind of sad for me. Now, if he thought the whole thing with Otama wasn't sad enough, the little girl, uh Otako, Otoko, I think it was, and her father, Yasui. Now, Yasui, uh, ooh, uh Tonyasu, who is also known as uh Shimo Suki Yasui, a beloved former Daimyo, sacrifices his life by letting himself be executed by Orochi. Death divergts aroti suspicion away from the Alliance secret message that uh oh the Kozuki clan and whatnot is coming back and unites the rebel forces. So, in other words, Yasu's kind of fucking around with Oroti because you know, like because keep in mind that Oroti used to work under the Kozuki clan, and he felt like he was getting picked on by the Kozuki clan. So he's trying to get revenge on him, trying to take over all I wano and whatnot, but he can't do it without Kaido's might and the beast pirates and whatnot. So he didn't exactly have that raw dog manpower to take a man. And also he had to do that shifty shit to where it's like, oh, once he did the whole uh boiling hour with Odin, like he had to make it sound like, oh yeah, uh they made it so that I'm gonna be the next heir and whatnot. So yeah, like if we know those goal shit, though.

SPEAKER_00 3:18:54

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:18:54

But oh man, like between that, Yasui and Orochi, the Akasa 9, all these different stories, how you know how they split up, right? But they have all these different plot lines, these different stories, with like uh Komuro Saki turning out to be uh Hiyore Kosuki, which is Moonosuke's sister, and you're saying, like, god damn, eight year old, you fucking genius the way you craft these stories. Because it's like you be saying, Oh, like what's this guy doing anything? Trust me, it's gonna matter later.

SPEAKER_06 3:19:28

Oh yeah, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:19:32

Like keep it in mind, real quick. Uh Big Mom crashes on Udan, and she has amnesia trying to chase down uh the straw hat pirates after you know they fucked up her castle and whatnot. But to be fair, that was on them for kidnapping Sonny.

SPEAKER_06 3:19:49

So anyways, like nah, you don't mess with the the crew, uh-uh.

SPEAKER_02 3:19:56

Yeah. But anyways, Big Mom arrived, uh Chopper, Otama, and whatnot, uh Monosuke was kind of shopping at uh because you know, Chopper and Mononosuke were familiar with Big Mama. Otama and uh Spee, or you could say Horselina was like, Who the fuck is this? And I was like, oh no, you don't know what Big Mom? Uh but uh basically she arrives at the Udon prison uh chasing red bean soup of all things, uh, causing school chaos that inadvertently helped Luffy liberate the prison. And with Udon secured, thousands of samurai prisoners joined the alliance. Zoro recovers Odin's legendary tour Enma, which is gonna matter later, which is capable of cutting Kaida. Uh but this backtrack just a little bit. It's wild how, like, like I say, it was like a whole training art for Luffy where Queen being like the head warden and he had the um beast parts and whatnot. All right, let's get through this special execution where we just gonna keep throwing guards at you until you fall down. You basically gonna die, but I'm like, hey yo, y'all, y'all don't know Luffy. Like, no.

SPEAKER_06 3:21:08

Like, that's what you think.

SPEAKER_02 3:21:11

Yeah. Uh yeah. So yeah, um, for the most part, things are cooking up, but we're not even close. Well, we're kind of close to F3, but there's like a little uh flashback story that we gotta go through. But uh before we get into that, Dinar, any notes on this section uh Wano?

SPEAKER_06 3:21:32

No, like you said, it was it was basically a training arc for Luffy. I mean, we saw him training with um the old man and whatnot, and it's like he obviously has good control of his hockey, but you know, to do it the other way, what was it called again? Rio Rio, yeah, Rio. Um, it's like that's a whole nother ball game, and didn't come quite as naturally. I mean, still came pretty naturally to hit to him, but not as naturally as regular hockey did. He had to really concentrate to be able to put it outside of himself.

SPEAKER_02 3:22:08

I mean, crazy thing is, like with Kaido, some of the things he said actually had a little bit of truth to it. And I don't want to say that, oh, uh, double fruit power don't really matter, but when he said that hockey reigns supreme, I'm like thinking, like, yeah, hockey kind of fucking matters in this world. So if you have like strong enough hockey, you can do shit like well, let's let's just save that for when we get to the final fight.

SPEAKER_06 3:22:40

Yeah, so it's just like, yeah, and and the whole you know, Luffy and um and kid competing to see who can move the most stuff and get the most dongo and whatnot. And it's like, and all the rest of the people are getting one, two dongo, maybe three or whatever, and these two get these giant piles and piss Queen off because he they ate all his dongo. It's just like it's like, yeah, nah. I I obviously, you know, for kid it was more of just competing with Luffy, but Luffy's like food. Give me food. With in in addition to you know, competing with kid, but it's whereas for kid it was mostly just a competition. For Luffy, it was like nah, food.

SPEAKER_02 3:23:26

Yeah, like Luffy's uh more simple-minded, but uh the way Kid was seeing is that he sees Luffy as a rival for the One Piece and the title of King of the Pirates alongside Law. So that's the main thing about those three boys where like their uh rivalry is like it's almost like I like how these motherfuckers are like, look here, I'm not their friend. Like, we this is just a temporary alliance, and everybody, even me, was just looking, giving them like some side eye. Like, I don't know why y'all act like y'all like friends.

SPEAKER_06 3:24:07

Come on, like, yeah, nah, you you know what's going on here. There it's not gonna, yeah. It's not gonna go the way you think. It's like what you know Robin told La when they first teamed up was like, yeah, well, was it Robin or Usopp? I think there was both of them sort of being like, yeah, what you think of an al as an alliance law, that's not how Luffy thinks of it. And and he's like, the fuck are you talking about? And they're like, just just just hold on. Hey Luffy, what does it mean to be in an alliance? And it's like it's just like, oh my gosh. It's just like, yeah, no, it's it's not what the others are thinking because Luffy has his own definition of an alliance.

SPEAKER_02 3:24:47

Yeah, I want I want to believe Usadamaya said that because I can imagine Robin saying that, but or maybe like a combination of the two, but like essentially, uh, that's the main reason why the whole crew kind of hell, even Zoro said it. Like he said to kill her in act three to where it's like, hey man, you got a crazy ass captain. I'm like, hey, you can I can say the same about your captain. Oh true. I mean, what can I say? He's like, he's fun to be around. It's like, hey, that's how good about my captain.

SPEAKER_06 3:25:15

Yeah, yeah. Just a whole nother ballpark.

SPEAKER_02 3:25:21

Yeah, like it it kind of don't make sense from the outside, but once you fuck with him long enough, you kind of get yeah. Yep, yeah. Uh was that all you had on this park?

SPEAKER_06 3:25:38

Um, for the most part, yeah. Um, I mean, like you said, there was that whole, you know, it's like the deat match thing and whatnot going on. But um, but again, that was more basically just more training for Luffy.

unknown 3:25:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:25:52

So oh man, when we found out that yeah, to be honest, he really needed that L because for the most part, like yeah, uh he has taken some L' throughout the story, but it's for the most part, he was kind of steamrolling through it. So the enemies he faced wasn't expecting a guy like Luke, especially Enel. Oh poor Enel, man. Like poor man to even know what rubber was.

SPEAKER_06 3:26:22

Yeah, no kidding.

SPEAKER_02 3:26:24

But Kaido? Oh no, you can't just roll up the Kaido. I think you just gonna walk out like it's gonna be a freezer. So you kind of need that L right there just to uh kind of improve and like actually train. Um I was gonna make a parallel to Frieza from Dragon Ball Super, but uh you know, let's just not go there because like it's just a whole rap thing. It's like basically oh well better. Yeah, I would say kind of like uh the boys, where Homelander he finally lost his powers and surprise, surprise, dude don't even know how to fight. So yeah, like sometimes you need an L to realize that you might need a little bit more training than you think because otherwise that last fight would have gone a little bit differently. Uh but anyways, uh let's keep it

Oden Flashback And Wano’s Fall

SPEAKER_02 3:27:19

going. Uh, we got this interlude uh flashback art, The Legend of Kosky Odin. Now, this is a crucial flashback. Now, most of the time when people do flashback art and anime, it's like it just feels like it came a little too late or a little unnecessary. Like, what does it gotta do with anything? But with this one, no, no, no. This fucking matters to the block. Because it steps away from present day to explain how Wano fell and why the battle matters. Now, we see the wildlife of Koskey Odin, his travels as a commander on Whitebeard ship, and how he was recruited by Goldie Roger himself to subbreed the poneglyphs and reach Blacktail, witnessing the discovery of the One Piece. And I thought it was kind of funny how like Momonosuke got the um the journal that he had from Yamato, who we're gonna talk about in a moment. And I just gotta mention it right now. They finally see the One Piece and they all laugh. But the thing is, the last page from that book was ripped off, so Momonosuke don't know what they were laughing at. So like that's crazy. Like, so what hold on, what's there? I'm like, please don't be like some troll type shit, but like, man, that that just made the whole thing about the one piece just all that more tantalizing. Like, see, Oda himself said that, oh no, no, no, we ain't gonna try to troll y'all like that. But at the same time, it's like you teasing us like, hey man, like I need a I need some sort of indication of what this might be because like you're not gonna drag us through 1100 episodes for nothing. I mean, I get um it's all about a journey, not the destination, but dog, like if we're gonna commit for 1100 episodes, we need some sort of payoff.

SPEAKER_06 3:29:15

I was gonna say, I'm just glad that he has promised it's not that whole, you know, friend the treasure is the friendship we made along the way, bullshit. I'm just glad he's promised that's not gonna be it.

SPEAKER_02 3:29:26

Yeah, because I'm like, bro, you know how mad people are gonna be. Like, no, one thing, if it was like a 24-26 episode um show, but 1100, uh-oh, man. I need to pay off that. I need to know what the fuck this treasure is.

SPEAKER_06 3:29:48

Yup. So yeah, it's like oof, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:29:53

And if I pass away before I find out, oh well, but like I mean, they're on the last leg of this story anyway, so like let's just hope. Yeah, we see it sometimes. Sometime in our lifetime, you know?

SPEAKER_06 3:30:08

Yeah, exactly. Just trying to stay healthy enough to, you know, see it through.

SPEAKER_02 3:30:13

Yeah, and that's why also give grace to these manga writers because especially lately with Kirano, man, like they were like pulling the shit out of her for like she trying to engage with her fans, and they're just like, oh well, uh, you don't like the way you did this, that and then she was like, you know what, I'm done. Like, even though she won like three awards at the Crunch World Awards, it was like after that, she was like kind of done with social media because like she just can't deal with the fans trying her. And you know what? I say based. Like, just like the same guy with Mushelkop Tensei, Job was reincarnations, where some people don't like the direction that the story's going. But he said, fuck y'all, I don't care. This is my story. I'm writing the story the way the how the fuck I want. And I'm like, you know what? I respect that. I do that.

SPEAKER_00 3:31:10

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 3:31:11

As a dude that writing my own stories, I respect that because you know, sometimes we get so scared that, oh, what are the fans all like? You know what? Fuck it. Write your story, put it out. If you got fans that love it, cool. If you got people that don't love it, oh fucking well, they'll get over it, you'll get over it. As long as you have the fans that actually fuck with you for you.

SPEAKER_00 3:31:33

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 3:31:34

But uh, hold on, let me go ahead and uh get through this interview. Uh, so Odin returns to find Wano, industrialized and polluted by Orochi and Kaido with the plants and all that, you know, trying to uh replicate. You know how in Punk Hazard, uh Caesar was doing the sad fruit, but now over here they're doing the small fruit, and they have all those plants, food and uh water said whatnot. Uh to protect the hostages, Odin humbles himself by dancing naked in the streets for five years, uh making a fool of himself, uh, realizing he was tricked, Odin and his nine red scabbards, or the oxygen nine, uh, march to war. Odin scars Kaido on, you know, that side um scarlet. Kind of like what Luffy got going on. It's just, but it's like, oh, sorry right there. But uh he loses due to a distraction by the old lady, and he is sentenced to the boiling for an hour, sacrificing himself so that the samurai can escape into the future. But another thing is I kind of respect Kaido for uh that old lady was trying to distract uh Odin for Kaido, and then Kaido was like, yeah, you know what? Pack her up. Pack her up because nah, I don't like winning like that. I don't like winning like that. Uh same thing with um that CP0 agent that um kind of fucked it up between Kaido and Lucy in um the third round. But we're gonna get to that in a moment. But like, yeah, Kaido got a little bit of respect when it comes to uh how he wants to win his fight. I kind of appreciate that. But uh, it's just fucking crazy how Odin went through all that shit just for the people, and he didn't even make no excuses about why he was acting so strange. Hey man, I gotta do what I gotta do. Like, what do you want me to say?

SPEAKER_04 3:33:26

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:33:30

But uh before we get to act three, uh what you got?

SPEAKER_06 3:33:35

Um, I personally was a little disappointed in Kaido when it came to the whole um you know, boiling thing and how like you know fucking Orochi was being a little bitch about it and you know trying to make Odin lose even more, and Kaido just sat there and watched it. Like I was expecting to be like, hey, you know, this is not the way we do it. You know, we it's I don't know how to explain it, but I was I was I was I as much as I know he's you know he's the bad guy when I was disappointed in Kaido in that scene. I was just like, man, you ain't as like I I know you bad, but I you are not as the w but he is giving like I want to say with Kaido, he's more like straight to the point.

SPEAKER_02 3:34:28

If I want to kill you, I'll just bash your fucking head in with my fucking club. But you, you just being a little bitch made about it. Like you trying to torture the man, like trying to uh act like oh uh oh he stole your lunch money. Now you're trying to make your trauma hit his problem like doing all this extra shit, like you know.

SPEAKER_06 3:34:47

Uh exactly, and that and the fact that he just stood there and let Orochi do that shit. I was like, I thought you were better than this man. Apparently I was wrong, but I thought you were better than this, even though you're I I know you're a bad guy, but I thought you were still better than this. What the fuck?

SPEAKER_02 3:35:03

And then on top of that, like uh herochi was trying to uh execute Momonosuke and whatnot. And then Kaito was like, you know what? I'm done with you, man. Like, get the fuck out of here, pack him up because we didn't we never really need you in the first place. Um, like, look, you think you can take me on? Like, nah, like you needed me. I didn't need you. So he got Rochi out of the way temporarily because you know Rochi comes back, but then he was grilling Momonosuke, and he was like, Hey, I remember you way back then. Like, your father gave me a whole bunch of shit, your little uh ninja samurai friends gave me a whole bunch of shit, and I'm like, I had to deal with them, whatnot. And uh tell me, since you're the son of uh Cozy Odin, what the fuck gonna do about that? You gonna venge your father? Uh I was like, uh, in fact, what's your name, uh, young man? And then he uh never got around to uh asking well, got an answer for who's his name, and that's the thing. Like when Momonosuke uh was strung up and whatnot, uh, all right, I'm gonna ask you again, what's your name, young man? And then everybody was like, hey dog, we ain't gonna hold you. You got a lot, man. Like, we ain't gonna hold you. And then Momonosuke was like, hey, yo, like I I know I got kids running up to my eyes and shit, but I'm like, I do right by my dad, but like, hey, my name is Kozuki Momonosuke. Yeah, remember that.

SPEAKER_06 3:36:39

Yep, and the whole time Kaidos is like, you know, if you're not, you know, if you're not a Kozuki, then you know, we have no reason to kill you.

SPEAKER_02 3:36:46

Yeah, like, oh yeah, if you're not who we say you are, you can go ahead and go um with your bitch ass. But like, no, that's not what Momo did.

SPEAKER_06 3:36:53

Yep, he's like, I can't, I can't do that. I gotta, you know, I gotta be who I am. And it's like, fuck yeah, boy, you done good.

SPEAKER_03 3:37:02

Papa didn't raise no bitch.

SPEAKER_06 3:37:04

Yep. So it's just like, yeah, that was, yeah. That was good. It was like, good on you, Momo. Good on you.

SPEAKER_02 3:37:14

And uh, old man Yobro was crying to you to dwell. Like, oh man, like you're a real one for that one, Momo.

SPEAKER_04 3:37:21

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It's like, yep, you done good, boy. You done good.

SPEAKER_02 3:37:30

Alright. Uh, hold on, I had uh check on all my messages. But uh act three, uh unless you got anything else to add on to act two.

SPEAKER_06 3:37:39

No, I think that's about it for that one. So on to act three.

Onigashima Raid And Worst Generation

SPEAKER_02 3:37:45

Act three, the radar. Oh no, uh onigashima, excuse me. Sorry, I'm that's why I get for speaking too fast. So the ultimate war begins. Yeah. The ultimate war begins. The ninja pirate meek samurai alliance. Oh, see, that part sounds fast.

SPEAKER_00 3:38:07

Uh thanks.

SPEAKER_02 3:38:09

Launches a massive surprise winter assault on Kaidos Fortress Island during a night of celebration of the fire festival. Phase one, we got the traitor and the rifle. Kazaro is revealed to be a rochi spy and kidnapping Mononosuke. However, Jean Bay finally arrived to officially join the Straw Hass, and the 5400 strong alliance successfully infiltrates Onigashima. You got people from Law's crew, Kids crew, you got Marco and the White Bears. Oh my god damn, they all pulled up just to deal with Kaido and Big Mom. Um, by the way, they decide, you know what? Lin Lin and Kaido decide, you know what, so what's a good idea? Let's get married. I was, oh hell no. The Big Mom pirates teaming up with the beast pirates. Everybody was like, hey, yo, that that's fucking crazy. Two Emperors of the Sea hooking up and joining forces. Hell no.

SPEAKER_06 3:39:17

Yeah, that was like that was I was like, they're already bad enough on their own, throw them together. Holy fuck.

SPEAKER_02 3:39:24

Yeah. I was kind of I was kind of ahead of myself, by the way, when I was talking about Kaido Detrait, Orochi. So he decapitates him now, uh though Orochi survived due to his devil fruit powers, and announces his new Onigashima project to turn Wano into a pirate empire dominated by violence and lawlessness. Then we get introduced to Kaido's son, yes, son, Yamato, a boy, a handsome young boy.

SPEAKER_05 3:40:01

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02 3:40:03

Introduces themselves to Luffy and vows to fight alongside him to the not only fulfill Odin's dream, but to become Kozky Odin. So Yamatou identifies as the reincarnation of Kosky Odin because his sacrifice was so inspirational and she never really liked her father. He never really liked his father uh in the first place, so yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 3:40:34

He just wanted to, you know, overthrow his father and you know be able to get off the island because they have they have the you know the cuffs, like the collars at the human auction, where it's like, you know, if you leave the premises, boom, you're dead. Because it blows it blows up around your neck and sort of hard to lift out a head.

SPEAKER_00 3:40:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 3:40:56

So and then the and then Luffy fucking takes it off the same way he did back at the human auction as well. And Yamato's just like, the fuck?

unknown 3:41:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 3:41:09

Yamato Yamato's a fun character.

SPEAKER_02 3:41:13

Oh yeah. Very interesting. And I really was hoping she was going to join the crew, but I did understand why it couldn't be that way. At least for the time being.

SPEAKER_06 3:41:27

Yeah. Now it's like it's totally understandable.

SPEAKER_02 3:41:31

So uh hold on. Let me let me see how many uh okay, we're not that far from the bottom.

unknown 3:41:38

All right.

SPEAKER_02 3:41:39

Uh phase two, the root piece fights. So we got the Akasa 9 fighting Kaido under the full moon, but are brutally defeated. The generation defining root piece segment begins as five members of the worst generation, uh, Luffy, Zoro, Law, Kid, and Killer, uh confront the pair forces of Kaido and Big Mom. Uh Zoro unleash his Conquerors Honky to scar Kaido before breaking nearly every bone in his body to shield the group. Luffy learns to Toad's attack and conquers Honky, allowing him to trade blows evenly with Kaido, though he eventually is knocked off um the floating island into the sea. That's phase two. Uh, you got anything you want to add on to that, Tenora?

SPEAKER_06 3:42:31

I just um going back a little bit to when you know we first see, well, not first see, but first realize who the laughing person is, and it was killer, and it's just like, oh, the hardest poor, poor kid when he realized too, and he was just like, my friend, what have they done to you? And it's just like uh that was that was definitely that was uh that was a hard scene. That because it's just like because that that realization of this is you know my my friend and my my first mate, like and they've reduced him to you know this laughing mess because they forced him to eat, you know, the well they didn't force him, but he didn't really have much choice if he didn't want to die to eat one of the smile fruits and just like oh and just kids kids' reaction to all that, but um, because yeah, because then then you know they're all all facing off against Kaido. But yeah, I just I just had to go back real quick and and touch on that just because that was that was uh that was a sad scene. Um and just oh god, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:43:43

Um yeah.

SPEAKER_06 3:43:45

But yeah, no, it's for the for the as far as that, that's I think that's about and then well and then I call I call um Luffy Law and Kid, I call them the dumbass trio. I swear to god, every time those three are together. I mean, we had before, so it happened happened fucking twice in at least in the part that I've seen of Wano, where they're like they're playing chicken with a giant fireball, and just the the snapshots of their faces as it gets closer, and then they just fucking, I'm like, oh my god, these three are dumbasses, but I love them so much.

SPEAKER_02 3:44:26

My thing is if that's the case, I would say they're three dumbasses sharing a brain, and law is the one is like, hey, you know what? Let me hold on to the brain uh so y'all don't break.

SPEAKER_06 3:44:38

Pretty much, yeah. But it's just like, yeah, when the when they were first fighting together against Kaido, and then when they're fighting against Kaido and Big Mom, and just they have a giant fireball coming at them, and like first one to lose to move is is uh you know, whatever is a is a loser or whatever. Yeah, the loser will not.

SPEAKER_02 3:44:56

I'm like, y'all ain't got time for this dog, y'all really don't got time for all this.

SPEAKER_06 3:45:00

And like each time law at first is like, that's so stupid. What the hell are you talking about? We can't do that, blah blah blah. But then he gets roped into it because he's like, Well, these two idiots are doing, I can't not do this, and it's just like in front of the house. Exactly. It's like, oh my god, y'all are dumbasses, but like and like you said, you know, they they share one brain, and most of the time Law has it, but occasionally none of them have it. It's just like because, like, at like I said, at the beginning of each time, Law's like, what are you idiots talking about? We can't do this, and then he ends up doing it because he's like, Well, I can't be left out, and it's like, there goes the brain, farewell, we'll see you again, hopefully.

SPEAKER_02 3:45:39

It's just like Can I mention how I like how when Kaida was attacking and whatnot, it looked like it was gonna hit like Nami, Chopper, and a whole bunch of others. Uh, Luffy was telling Lord, hey yo, uh Law, teleport everybody to the um pool um down below or whatnot. And then Lord does it, but then as soon as everything was all good and whatnot, he kind of grilled Luffy out, like, hey, look here, motherfucker. Don't you ever tell me what to do again? Like, I was gonna do it anyways, but the fact that you told me to do it made me look weak in front of my um my fucking crew. Don't you ever do that shit again?

SPEAKER_06 3:46:16

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 3:46:16

There's so much and then K was like, oh, I see. Uh law is like Luffy's new subordinate. Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't do me like that.

SPEAKER_06 3:46:26

Yeah. Yep, like I said, those three, anytime those three are together, they are such dumb asses, but god do I love them for it?

SPEAKER_00 3:46:38

Yeah. Oh shit.

SPEAKER_02 3:46:44

Uh well, there's some other shit that's going on. Like, uh, I know we're talking about Zoro um trying to master Enma and accepting his lineage and uh whatnot. But I also want to talk about Sandy, where once again he has to be uh Mr. Prince and whatnot, trying to save a damsel in distress, but he ended up getting trapped by Black Maria, who uh had no choice but to be rescued by Robin, which was like good backstory behind her character and how she got uh her little new technique and whatnot.

SPEAKER_06 3:47:21

Well, and I haven't gotten to that part. Like I've seen clips of that part, and I'm very excited to get to it because Robin, like I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but Robin is my favorite of the straw hats, so I'm very excited to get to that part. I'm not excited about how she gets to that part because I know it's not great, but I am excited to see her get to that point and become, you know, well, not awakened really.

SPEAKER_02 3:47:45

It but yeah, it's not really awakened, it's more like a new technique. I want to say it's like uh it's like she kind of transforms herself, and it was kind of crazy, not gonna lie, but also her getting there, man, it it was kind of tough to watch while you're and there.

SPEAKER_06 3:48:04

Yeah, that like being Robin. I've seen I've seen clips, and it's like I am terrified to to finally get there, but I am wanting to get there because I want to see you know what happens and whatnot. But I gotta say, as far as Sanji goes, like he just pissed me off, honestly. Like he just he ran as soon as he, you know, there was a brothel and he runs off. And that wasn't even they there that was even before the whole damsel in distress thing. Like that was just him wanting to go off and be horny, leaving everyone behind. And I was like, fuck you, Sanji. I was so pissed at him. I was so fucking.

SPEAKER_02 3:49:00

Stand up business. Come on though.

SPEAKER_06 3:49:01

But yeah, no, I was I was so pissed when he just ran off, leaving everyone behind to deal with everything themselves. I was like, fuck you, bro, fuck you. I was so pissed. Um but I didn't know. What was that?

SPEAKER_02 3:49:16

I was I would say on the bright side, though, I did like how he's starting to get comfortable wearing that uh distilled black suit and uh awakening his dormant German 66. Because keep in mind, the Vince Motes are enhanced human, so it's like they got they're almost like sideboards in a way, but but not really, just more like uh genetically modified, so to speak.

SPEAKER_04 3:49:41

So not yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:49:44

So the fact that he's owning up to his modifications and putting on the suit, it just makes him uh seem more cool as far as like he can like fly and go invisible or whatnot. So I'm like, yeah, you know what in when it kind of fits Zanji's style and whatnot. Like I kind of I mean, I think we're gonna see more of that in egghead, but yeah, I like that. I did like that. It was a good cool.

SPEAKER_06 3:50:06

Yeah, that that was cool seeing him actually, you know, using this tech that he has and whatnot, and using what he's was, you know, raised on and stuff. And I I did I did like um when he, you know, what did go to quote unquote save the the damsel in distress sort of situation and ended up being a trap. I did like how he did end up calling for Robin, and then she gets there and she was like, Thank you for believing in me enough to call me here, despite knowing what was gonna happen.

SPEAKER_00 3:50:37

Right.

SPEAKER_06 3:50:38

So that that that was pretty cool. How it's like, yeah, he he trusted her and believed in her enough to know that she can handle whatever is going to happen when she gets there.

SPEAKER_02 3:50:50

And the crazy thing is to this day, like keep in mind that out of all the strong hats, Grotman is the only one that Luffy wasn't really looking for exactly. But at the same time, she is damn near the most important member of the crew because she's the only one that can decipher the pony blue that can lead them to the One Piece. So she may not be the crew member that they were looking for, but she's like the most important one on that boat. Um not only that, but the fact of the matter is that even though she wasn't exactly necessary to Luffy's uh ideal crew, but the fact that um she's proven that um she does have value, and the crew also showed her that she is value, she is chair, she is love, she's borrowed the crew.

SPEAKER_05 3:51:47

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 3:51:49

I did love that includes, especially with where she came from and shit, like being a demon child, so to speak, all because she has her abilities.

SPEAKER_06 3:51:58

Well, and well, that, and then also because she knew how to read the the poneglyphs, right? So that you know the government marked her as you know, we need to take her out, despite the fact that she's still literally a kid, and it's like so. Yeah, it's just all all because you know, she wanted to learn, she wanted to know about history, about the world, about everything. She just wants to learn.

SPEAKER_02 3:52:25

Oh God.

SPEAKER_06 3:52:26

And was labeled a monster.

SPEAKER_02 3:52:36

Uh being a smart kid. Like, and man, this kind of reminding of Boys Again to where, like uh the whole character of Sister Sage, where it's like her whole thing is that she was burdened to be the smartest person on the planet, and her whole art is to she just want to be left alone, especially with the only person that ever truly loved her. Her grandmother passed away, so it was like she didn't really have anybody, so it's like she just wanted to be left alone, and at the end of it all, she losed her powers intentionally, so she just fuck off and live her life. So, like, that's really what she wanted. Like, at the end of it all, she just wanted a normal life, but it just turns out that you know she got shot up with the compound B, just happened to be the smartest person that is like she didn't ask for this shit. Um, none of none of those suits ever did, but like, well, most of those didn't ask for it, but like that's what I'm saying. Like, Robin didn't ask for all this shit, so it was very unfair for her to go through what she did, but it led her to the people that truly loved me.

SPEAKER_06 3:53:42

It led her to where she needed to be.

SPEAKER_02 3:53:46

Yeah. Speaking of uh leading to where you need to be and whatnot, uh, can we talk about the whole thing? Well, uh, did you get to the part with uh Zeus parting away from Nami to go back to Big Mom? But Big Mom was like getting fed up with Zeus, so she had him replaced with this other cloud Hera, and Hera tried to eat Zeus, but I was like, No, mommy, stop. And he started running back to Nami. And I was like, hey, Nami, look, I fucked up. And then he's like, no, fuck you, buddy. Well, at first she was like, no, fuck you, but at the same time, like she was like, Hey, you look here, you belong to me now, and you gonna stay together forever, and then like everybody else was thinking, like, oh, they're so friendly and whatnot, but like, no, like y'all don't see what we see is like she's like terrifying this poor cloud.

SPEAKER_06 3:54:42

Mm-hmm. It's like, yeah, no, I I got to just about there. Like, Big Mom was starting, and you know, she had Prometheus in her ear being like, Hey, you know, we don't need this guy. We you need to create a new one that will listen to you better and maybe you know can be my wife. It's like, bruh. But yeah, no, I like I feel like if Prometheus hadn't been in her ear quite as much, she might not have, but she, you know, obviously did. And so yeah, she was just starting to form the the other one when that's that's as far as I've gotten. So yeah, so I was just getting to that part.

SPEAKER_02 3:55:21

Yeah, so all right. Well, at this point, uh, I think I'm gonna be getting to spoil the territory, but there's like a few more things I want to talk about. Well, uh, the main thing is Law and Kid pushing their devil fruit awakenings to their absolute limits, uh, miraculously uh defeating Big Mom by blasting her into Wano's subtraining magma chamber. And we're gonna talk about that in a moment, but I just like how like Kid had like uh this big old form. I think it was like punk rotten, I think it was called. And uh Law was also doing his best trying to take down Big Mom, and I did like the synergy that they had to take her down. But uh before we climax, how you feeling, Tedar?

SPEAKER_06 3:56:11

I'm feeling feeling good. Like I said, and I you know, I'm gonna be watching it soon enough anyway. So, you know, any spoilers aren't gonna be spoilers for all that long, anyways. So I don't mind, you know, whatever you you want to say about anything. So um, look, I I mean I've and I've seen clips, like I said, I haven't gotten there yet, but I've seen clips of you know Robin's like quote unquote demon form. I've seen clips of Joy Boy, so it's like I've seen clips of some of this stuff. It's it's I mean, it's impossible to avoid. And considering it's been out for quite a while, it's like it's I'm not expecting you know anything like that. So yeah, so you're all good to whatever you need to say, you can say, and um, yeah, so okay.

SPEAKER_02 3:56:55

The climax, the climax, the climax, the awakening and gear five. Now, back on the reef, a CP up CP0 agent uh interferes under the world government's orders, allowing Kaido to land a fatal blow on Luffy. Once again, Kaido

Gear Five Awakens Joy Boy

SPEAKER_02 3:57:15

don't like that shit when uh other people interfered with his victories. So Luffy heart stops, but his death triggers the true awakening of the devil free. Now, the big elephant, Sunisha, was kind of like, oh, he's he was kind of geeking and hyping because he was like, wait a minute, I recognized this beat before. It's the drums of liberation. Joy boy is coming back. And I was like, what do you mean? What you what's going on? What's the what's happened? And then you see Luffy's hair turning white, his clothes turning white, and all that shit. And then it is revealed that Luffy's fruit is not called the gum gum fruit. They made that shit up just to protect the true nature of what this is. The Luffy's fruit is the mythical zoning human human fruit, model Nika, transforming into the sun god Nika. Luffy unlocks gear five, like state of pure freedom, where he fights with a cartoon like physics, turning the ground to rubber and grabbing lightning bolts like fucking old animation on that. The fight was god damn. Like he was moonwalking the air, he was like fucking he made this whole prism with just lightning bolts, like he was just doing a whole bunch of shit. He bro, this dude decided you know what would be a fun idea? Let me grow so big that I dwarf Kaido in the whole fucking island. And then he had this one technique, the gun gun barge run gun, right? This thing was so big, it could punch a it can swallow the whole island of Onigashima and like take out everybody at once if he wanted to. I'm like, holy shit. This dude have like mainly because this form is new to him. So it's like when Goku just now given the hang of master ultra instinct, like, yeah, he got this new power, but he's not really used to it yet. So he still needs to break it in a little bit. But right now, me and Talos Gundam has this theory to where uh Luffy has like a limited form, uh a limited variation of two for which is like the most broken ability you can have in all of fiction, to where you can define physics itself, to where it's like, man, okay, a little bit spoiler, but it's like Egghead Island, to where he was fighting um Rod Lucci, the rematch, right? And he decided, you know what, let me just have some fun a little bit. So I'm gonna put him on this baseball cap and I'm gonna craft a baseball bat out of a tree that I grabbed, and then I'm just gonna transform it to the bat, and I'm just gonna whack him and whatnot. I'm like, look here, like where the fuck you came from with this shit. It's like this this goes beyond rubber powers anymore. No, this dude has fucking tune force. I believe he has toon force, and that's what makes him even more terrifying. Because what can you do against a motherfucker that can literally defy the odds?

SPEAKER_06 4:00:32

Yeah, fair. It's like, yeah, I mean, if that's I mean, that's we see it in cartoons all the time, where it's like, you know, you have that cartoon power. I mean, look at Space Jam. They use their cartoon powers.

SPEAKER_02 4:00:50

Some Space Jam shit going on. Like, no, the fact that they had fucking animators from Warner Brothers themselves animating that fight.

SPEAKER_06 4:00:59

Oh shit, for real?

SPEAKER_03 4:01:01

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 4:01:02

Oh, damn, okay, fuck. All right.

SPEAKER_02 4:01:07

Why it got so goofy like that? That's because that's Warner Brothers was on that shit.

SPEAKER_06 4:01:12

Damn, I did not know that. Shit, yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_02 4:01:16

Yeah, that's why I was like, oh, bro, this is gonna be so fucking goofy, and I'm I'm I'm I'm loving it already because that's how it gotta be. We got a goofy ass motherfucker like Luffy with this ridiculous power that he actually have. And then also I do like the more he used Red Hawk, I like I appreciate it more, especially when it's like he gets so enraged, he'll wind up like a King Kong. Uh like he he had this new berry called Red Rock, because you know, like a rock is like a giant bird sometimes, like R O C. So it's like a yeah, yeah. Uh so it was like this big old flaming fist heading Kaido's way. And I'm like, God, the way they're animating the shit, too. I'm like, bro, see, uh, y'all, a lot of people want to complain about One Piece with Arsenal, whatnot. But I'm telling y'all, though, I'm telling y'all, y'all gotta push to one on. Get the Wano, and then you get to see the payoff as far as the animation. Because I swear to God, I think they funneled billions into that animation. I'm I'm betting. I'm betting there was like big money into the animation, but I mean he got Warner Brothers on that shit. I I imagine it's gonna be big money making that shit. Like it was fucking crazy the way they did it. Bonkers. Like the way he was grabbing the lightning from the like, no, no, no. Check this out. He was upside down on the cloud. He grabbed a lightning bolt. There was like impact frames, he saw a mongo panel for like a split second, and he's like, what the fuck? The details to this shit. I was geeking for days when I first saw that.

SPEAKER_04 4:03:04

That's like getting me more excited about getting up that to their like oof.

SPEAKER_02 4:03:11

My whole week rewatching Wanda, I was like, I'm like that one meme where I was like, I love it. I'm addicted to it. I don't know anything else.

SPEAKER_06 4:03:27

Like, this is my life now.

SPEAKER_03 4:03:29

Yes, this is my life for like a whole week.

SPEAKER_02 4:03:33

Like watching these episodes, like watching this whole stuff play out. And we get to the epilogue and whatnot, where uh that one baron gun punches Kaido deep into the earth, magma beside Big Mom, ending his decades-long tyranny. So Momonoske, with a dope body, good, good ass glower, by the way, he steps forward to claim his rightful place as children of Wano, promising to restore the ruined environment. Uh Yamato wanted to join the crew, but Luffy was like, hey, yo, you know what? You're needed here. You need to stay here and make sure that Momonosuke and the Aksana and everybody else hold it down because we don't want another title on our hands. So stick around here. You know, give them the uh kind of like Vivi. Like technically you're part of the crew, but you're more needed here.

SPEAKER_06 4:04:34

Like with like with Vivi, you know? Yeah.

unknown 4:04:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:04:37

So it's like consider yourself part of the grand fleet, but I need you here. Like I need people posted in Juano, Dress Rosa, Fishman Island, and whatnot, because we don't want any more Holdy Jones or Do Flamingos or whatnot. No, no, no. Stay here and hold it down for us.

SPEAKER_00 4:04:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:04:56

Meanwhile, the new Emperor. So Admiral Greenbull arrives to capture Luffy, but it's driven off by massive bursts of Conquest hockey from Shanks. And every time they try to do something, like after the arc, and then Shanks shows up, and he was like, hey, leave him on. I'm like, hey, hey, all right, all right. And uh the newspaper announced that the new Empress of the Sea is Shanks, Blackbeard, Luffy, and crazy enough, Buggy. Because Buggy is one of see, I have somebody ask me, why is Buggy like a warlord of the sea? Why does he keep failing up? That's his character. That's the thing. He's the kind of character that just fails up.

SPEAKER_00 4:05:40

I mean, I know I'm not gonna go there.

SPEAKER_02 4:05:43

But like, I would say, look at the current state of things in our reality. So you can kind of tell that there's just some folks that no matter what they do, they're just springboarding to success, even though they kind of don't deserve it. But I'm just not gonna go too far into that. That's not the conversation I want to have right now. But uh with Luffy's bouncy being raised to three billion berries, everybody um pretty much got a bum. Chopper crazy enough, he went from 100 to 1000. So I'm like, wow, okay. A little bumper. I'm like, come on, like Chopper, he deserves a little bit more credit than that because like his monster point and whatnot, like that's gonna be a fucking problem.

SPEAKER_00 4:06:27

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:06:31

But uh, my theory, my theory.

Wano Aftermath And Big Theory

SPEAKER_02 4:06:36

Big mom and Kaido. I don't think they're dead.

SPEAKER_06 4:06:40

I've been hearing that a lot. I mean, because we we've seen Kaido trying to kill himself and failing every time, so it's like, you know, if he can't even kill himself, why why would they be able to kill him?

SPEAKER_02 4:06:54

Right, and it's kind of the same thing with Big Mom. Like, she's so durable, like I just don't want to believe that. Uh, because you know, it's like no corpse, no proof, you know, type type shit. Like, yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:07:09

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 4:07:10

You defeated them, sure, but I'm like, I I need more confirmation than them just falling down a hole.

SPEAKER_06 4:07:18

Exactly. Like, if that's all they showed, it's like, mmm, that usually means they're not dead.

SPEAKER_02 4:07:25

And also top of that, every time that happened, there was like a volcanic eruption. So I'm thinking, and there was like it was a volcanic eruption along with like some lightning, um, like in the clouds. So I'm like thinking, nah, they'll be back.

SPEAKER_06 4:07:41

They might be back. Yeah. Oh, um, going going back real quick, just to you know, the the six against um the Kaido and Big Mom on top of the skull. Um, I didn't realize that if someone had their their hockey activated and it was too strong, that law couldn't move them. I was like, I he said that he their hockey was too strong for him to move them. And I was like, huh, okay. You know, that's I mean, it makes sense. It makes sense, but it was like that was the first time we'd ever actually heard him say that. I was like, okay, interesting. So there are limitations, you know, to what he can move. So that was I I thought that was interesting.

SPEAKER_02 4:08:27

Now you say that, it kind of reminds me of Krillin's destructive disc or Key Enza, to where essentially you're thinking, like, oh, this is like a pretty uh interesting move. Like, why don't you use that more? But the thing, the trick about the destructive disc is that uh it only takes out people that are weaker than Krillin. So if he tried to use that on purpose sell or whatnot, it's not gonna work. So it's like the same rule that. So it's like a good way of power skill into where, like, hey, if you have like a ridiculous amount of hockey, yeah, I can't do double work.

SPEAKER_06 4:08:58

Exactly, yeah. So that was I thought that was really interesting um to think to find out and whatnot. And it made sense because you know, yeah, it's like, you know, why why why can you not just like get rid of them right now, send send them off to something? He's like, their hockey is is too strong, I can't do it. And it's like, okay, okay, interesting. Yeah, so yeah, I thought I just thought that was I was I was I was thinking about that, and I was like, that was that was a pretty interesting thing to learn about, you know, learn more about law's powers.

SPEAKER_02 4:09:28

And that's why I also was saying with Kaito saying that uh hockey is uh supreme when it comes to these wars. And I'm like, I kind of agree because like devil fruit powered may give you like an advantage depending on what power you get, but at the same time, it's like if you have like a crazy amount of hockey, you can fuck shit up like um Zoro and fucking Insondi, they're not two of the three monster trio for nothing.

SPEAKER_06 4:09:58

Despite having no devil fruit fruit, no devil fruit powers, so like they still they still got their ways, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:10:05

Like especially Zorro. Um, like see, he goes out against um King, uh one of Kaido's main boys, uh, after all this, you know, kind of like a rematch type thing. And he unlocks this new mode called King and King of Hell, to where it's like uh he kind of lets Enma this cursed sword uh fully take over to a point to where this dude is like emanating green flames and black lightning on all three swords, and he just fucking flashing and shit like dragon twisters and whatnot.

SPEAKER_05 4:10:42

I'm like, fucking hey, yeah, yep, it was just it was like damn, okay.

SPEAKER_02 4:10:49

And Sandy upgrading his moves to with having the blue flames now, and on top of that, like I said, with the um with the suit, like those two boys working together when they fight in Wano, man, fucking crispy. Cool, yep, but yeah, uh aside from that, uh Sukiyaki, oldest father, reveals to Robin that the ancient weapon Pluton is buried deep beneath Wano, but tracking it requires opening Wano's borders, which Mononosuke decides to keep closed for now for security. Uh Luffy, Law, and Kid partways sailing in three different uh different directions. The straw had a tearful farewell to Wano, leaving Mononosuke and Yamato behind as guardians. And of course, they I want to believe they're gonna come back because, like, uh the fact that they left it like that, it kind of means that Wano's gonna um play in later on at this point. That's why I'm also saying Kaido and Big Mom being dead, I'm not buying that. I'm like, there's gotta be a way for Wano to be relevant again later on because, like I said before, all these different stories leading up to our current situation, there's always gonna be um callbacks and deep cuts to previous arts, previous details, even the smallest details that we thought was wasn't gonna matter. Like the fact that we saw people from LBAF way early into One Piece, thinking like, oh well, you know, this giant people wasn't that far. Um, I don't think that's gonna matter no more. No, no, no, no, no. Because like once you get to LBAF, you're like, oh, wait a minute, we did some of y'all, and you know, uh just the nine and Momo Nose, how there were like some of them on punk hazard, some of them dress rose up, some of them on the dope. So it was like the way these meetings link up to a point where eventually we're gonna have to flash back to Wana, we're gonna have to flash back to Alabasta, we're gonna flash back to uh Fishman Island or whatnot, where all the homies are at. So it's not just a linear road. It's like essentially, it's like uh my whole theory is Luffy, he doesn't care for world domination like some of the other pirates might be into. In fact, he's like the total opposite to where he wants world liberation, he wants to just live free and he wants freedom for everybody. So that's why he wasn't uh fucking with this whole slave shit that was going on in Walnut. Same thing with like Dress Rosa and other places where it's like this impoverty, the uh slaveritude and whatnot. Like as soon as he saw this out, um this don't sit right with me. We gotta do something about whoever's in charge.

SPEAKER_06 4:13:49

Like his, you know, we when we first met, you know, when he stated his reason for becoming king of the pirates is because the king of the pirates is the most free person in the world, and he wants that freedom, and you know, the meat as well. But but yeah, so it's like that that freedom is his that's his big thing, is that's what he is about. You don't agree with I mean we know we know we're gonna see uh Wano again because like you said, Plut if that's where Pluton is, you know, that's gonna come into play later. And a lot of I've I've seen I've heard a ton of theories that that's you know gonna be how they take down the red line and whatnot. So so it's like obviously we're gonna see him again. Um I mean they have a matter of when they got scoop up Yamato into it, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:14:44

Because think about think about uh Ace also been to this island, and he been Oklahoma and Yamazo to where it's like in a way it's like it would be a shame if Luffy never came back to Wana and like it'd be like a recall to Ace, but then again, you can't really hold Ace for that because we know what happened to Ace and Marine Force, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 4:15:05

Yep, exactly. Yeah, that's the tricky, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:15:11

That's what I'm saying. Deep cuts, man, like deep cuts. Like you're thinking, like, oh uh yeah, he died um back in uh Marineport, but like we're gonna keep being reminded of how impactful Ace was to these different places. Like he was a freedom fighter just like his brother. That's why he believed in his brother. Like, um, because um metaphorically, I want to say literally uh too, but metaphorically speaking, both of these boys have that same fire in them. Them and Saba.

SPEAKER_06 4:15:46

Yep, like there's a reason they they became brothers, yeah. Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_02 4:15:56

Let me tell you when I was re-watching this whole show, the whole part, I was like, fucking love this anime, like all these different storylines, like how they tie together right now. Like you really take your time to enjoy the show, and you just like kind of get lost in the sauce. And I'm like, I fucking love Wano. Wano just might be my favorite out of all of them right now. Uh, I mean Enus Lobby, yeah, like Enias Lobby will still have a special plate in my heart because uh I'm thinking of Luffy now because I said late. But uh oh, by the way, uh I was thinking crazy enough, I can kind of imagine Luffy being like the new mascot for Arby. It's like we got meats.

SPEAKER_06 4:16:45

Yep. Can you imagine that collab?

SPEAKER_02 4:16:50

Yeah, I think they did like uh one ad where it's like they had Luffy or the uh straw hat pirates like we got the meats out. Yeah, Luffy would probably supply to Arby.

SPEAKER_06 4:17:01

So yeah, it's like him saying, like, we had the meats, but Luffy sold them all.

SPEAKER_02 4:17:08

Yeah, like I knew uh distant man to trip in like you king song eating the supply. Yep. Oh I fucking love this. Like, see, Enid's lobby will still have a special place in my heart. It will, because ever since Solar King shot down that flag and Luffy declared war on the whole world government, that's when I knew he was gonna be a real one as far as being a protagonist. He's not just some goofy ass kid. He's a kid that wants freedom for everybody. So that's why the places fuck with Luffy to a point where ironically, Luffy's gonna dominate the world by liberating.

SPEAKER_05 4:17:52

Yep.

unknown 4:17:55

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 4:17:55

And once we come to the king of the pirates, everybody's gonna be endorsing too. Like, hey, yo, that's our boy.

SPEAKER_03 4:18:06

Ace's been saying that since day one. Like, oh yeah, he's gonna be one.

SPEAKER_06 4:18:11

Like, that's my brother, and he is going to be, you know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:18:17

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 4:18:19

I'm like, just watch him, just watch him. And then the fact that he did get accidentally ate one of the most ridiculously powerful fruits, even though it's like in Shangh's possession, you know, like kind of like a hidden secret or whatnot, but he actually ate the fruit, and it's like just crazy how you're thinking, okay, he just had these rubber powers, right? And then it's like, okay, it's gonna be kind of interesting to see how he used these powers, but the uh sort of like get to a point where, oh no, no, no, no, this is also uh there's no such thing as a gum gum fruit in the like see when you get to Egghead Island, uh Dr. Vegapunk, yes, that's right, you get to meet Dr. Vegapunk in this next art. Uh he explains that uh according to the devil fruit encyclopedia I got right here, there's no such thing as a gum gum fruit. But uh the closest thing to what he got going on sounds like this mythical Zoan fruit, uh the human human Nika model to where like this dude essentially is the reincarnation of a guy that was like either a hero or a scourge. There was like two versions of it, like one of them was like a hero, the second one was a scourge. Who knows what the third iteration is gonna be? And that's yeah.

SPEAKER_06 4:19:43

It's like you know, he's unpredictable, you never know what's gonna happen.

SPEAKER_02 4:19:48

Yeah, I'm like, bro, this they're they're treating Luke like bro, this kid can go anywhere with this shit because like he the fact is like he does sound like a good kid, like he got good heart, but the fact of the matter is he's taking out multiple warlords of the sea, multiple emperors, and I'm like, this kid's about as dangerous as he is friendly.

SPEAKER_06 4:20:09

Mm-hmm. And like um, you know, what Mihawk was saying with the the Paramount Wards, like this kid, you know, brings people over to his side, even you know, if he doesn't necessarily mean to. He has you know the power to unite people, and it's like, yeah, that's that's a dangerous power.

SPEAKER_00 4:20:29

That's wrong with your speaker.

SPEAKER_06 4:20:32

Yeah, so like, yeah, that's uh it's gonna cause issues for the government, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_03 4:20:41

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 4:20:42

I mean, it already has.

SPEAKER_02 4:20:45

But no, it's just more like they just didn't know how bad it was gonna be until Wano, and you're just like, oh shit. So you mean to tell me that this kid is the reincarnation of the sun god who had this ridiculous ass power to a point where yeah, you know what? Let's not fuck with him.

SPEAKER_06 4:21:06

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Like thanks, but no thanks.

SPEAKER_02 4:21:10

Oh, he just wants to sell the seas, eating meat and whatnot. Hey, you know what? He just minded his own business. Let's leave him on.

SPEAKER_06 4:21:16

Mm-hmm. Yep. It's like, nah, let's just let him be, do his own thing, you know, not mess with him.

SPEAKER_02 4:21:26

Uh-oh, set this up. Uh, just when you thought that the input of the sea was gonna be the big ops. When we get to Elbath, eventually we get to see Emu in the fuss. Emu is the shadow behind the world government. He's the tippy top of the world government. So the fact that he's showing up to the battlefield, I am very curious what his powers and shit. Because if you look at it, dude, at first you think like he's just like this uh skinny guy that's like hiding in the shadow, like what is gonna be about. But then we actually see his actual appearance. First of all, bro, it don't make no goddamn sense for you to be this well drawn. Like, hold on, let me let me pull up a let me see if I can pull up.

SPEAKER_06 4:22:19

I've I've seen I've seen these things of it. Yeah, it's like that comes from.

SPEAKER_02 4:22:27

I'm saying, like, uh, you don't look like your Twitter profile page are wrong. Like, oh yeah, you know, that was just a random photo that just like going on like bro, I feel like you can catfish with how you actually look.

SPEAKER_06 4:22:47

Yeah, yep, it was just like okay, what the hell?

SPEAKER_02 4:22:53

I thought he was gonna look kind of weird in that, but I'm like, actually, no, like he could he did look kind of demonic at least, but like even then, I'm like, why is he handsome?

SPEAKER_06 4:23:06

Yeah, yep. It's like I've I've seen a lot of things like no wonder he wears, you know, that that outfit, because if you know everyone knew what he looked like, they might not take him seriously, might be just too, you know, enamored and whatnot. Yeah, like no wonder he hid his his actual you know appearance.

SPEAKER_02 4:23:27

He's Inmu is like, I'm aware of my effect I have on women.

SPEAKER_06 4:23:33

Yes, exactly. Exactly. Like, oh damn, okay.

SPEAKER_02 4:23:41

Nah, you know I ain't gonna hold for it. That's how he feels. I'm like, hey, you know what, you gotta. But you know what, that's all I got for Wano. That was pretty much Wano in a nutshell. There's a whole lot more, but honestly, if I really want to go to excruciating detail about Wano. That was better off just watching the whole show.

SPEAKER_06 4:24:03

Yeah, exactly. Especially with how long this one is. It's like it would it would be it would be quite long.

SPEAKER_02 4:24:09

Yeah, but I know it's an extreme review, but let's be real. There's like 23 seasons now. 23 seasons now. I think the stream review is extreme enough.

SPEAKER_06 4:24:29

Yeah. Yup.

SPEAKER_02 4:24:31

Like you. And these reviews, like each part is at least an hour long. So I'm like, stretch yourself in for like a 24-hour podcast episode of us just talking about one piece. So I'm like, yeah, we're trying to not save you a whole lot of trouble by a bridging artist. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:24:52

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 4:24:57

You got anything else?

SPEAKER_06 4:24:59

Um, no, I think that's about it for me as well. Like I said, I haven't actually finished it yet. So yeah, a lot of that stuff towards the end there was like, okay. Like obviously, like I said, I had seen clips about Joy Boy, but I had no idea about the fact that Luffy Stillbru isn't what we thought it was. So, like, that was interesting to learn. So, yeah, so I'm even more excited now to get to the end of this this saga, this arc, rather. So, so yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:25:31

Well, with that being said, the next arc is Egghead Island. And like I said, as much as I love Wano, 67 episodes, sounding a whole lot better than 197.

SPEAKER_06 4:25:48

Oh, yeah, much better.

SPEAKER_02 4:25:51

So I can pretty much knock that out in like what? Three days, depending on my skin, what not like maybe three to six days. Give me like three to six days. And even then, I'm like, I gotta compile my nose. And since it's gonna be shorter, I have more time to actually go into detail. But with Wano, I'm like, hey, yo, you know, we we don't got a time for all that one. We really don't got time for that. So I could have gone into way more detail with the Akuza 9, uh, with uh Komura Osaki, the way she was like kind of fleecing all those different men for their money and all that other shit. But hey, you know, we we just we honestly don't got time for that.

SPEAKER_04 4:26:27

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:26:29

All right, so until the next arc, we're gonna go into the intermission.

Egghead Part 1 Vegapunk Appears

SPEAKER_02 4:26:38

What up, gang? It's time to conclude the One Piece extreme review. Well, asterisk. Let's go ahead and talk about Egghead Island. And this time around, I'm gonna be tackling it solo. There might be a group discussion by the end of this chapter, but if not, then that's probably because everybody else had things to do. And I honestly don't blame you because the way I got this setup is gonna be seven parts. So I'm gonna be going into intermission about a good five to six times, and I'm gonna try to get through this section as quickly as possible. So let's go ahead and zone in on it. Let's start with the Marvel of the Futuristic Island. Now, following their departure from Wanof, the Straw Head Pirates embark on a quest to locate the final row Ponablo, a crucial element in Luffy's aspiration to become the king of the pirates and to find the One Piece. Simultaneously, Sabo's communication with the revolutionary army is abruptly interrupted by the Marines, culminating in a destruction of Lucia. During their journey, the strong hats rescue a girl from the sea only to confront a colossal shirt that threatens their ship. Luffy, Chopper, and the girl, who identifies herself as Jewelry Bonnie, are saved by Jean Bay. Meanwhile, the remainder of the Krieg is attacked by the shirt, resulting in the capsizing of their vessel. They are ultimately rescued by a woman claiming to be Dr. Vegapunk, but in a parallel storyline, Helm Meppo seeks out Prince Cruz and for assistance in rescuing Kobe. Now Lilla, one of Vegapunk's satellites, launches an attack on the Dow Zunny, but is halted by Shaka, another of Vegapunk's satellites, who recognizes Zoro and Robin. He instructs Lilla to escort the straw hats to him. While this unfolds, Luffy, Bonnie, Jingbei, and Chopper explore the island of Egghead. Bonnie expresses her desire for vengeance against Vegapunk for transforming her father into a sideboard. They encounter Hull Rams showcasing Egghead's inventions and meet another satellite, Atlas, who also reveals herself as Vegapunk. A CP-0 unit resembling Bartholomew Puma is dispatched to Egghead with the objective of eliminating Dr. Vegapunk during an assault by a pacifista. Bonnie identifies his resemblance to Puma and implores Luffy to cease his attacks. Meanwhile, the Heart Pirates find themselves under siege by the Blackbeard Pirates. After a fierce confrontation with the Blackbeard Pirates, the Heart Pirates retreat and dump on a nearby island. Trafalgar Law face off against Doc Q, Van Auger, and Burgess. But also, he easily counters their attacks. Blackbeard seeks to obtain his rope home whips, ignite a heated clash, and concurrently, uh Charlotte Pudding is revealed to be captive aboard Blackbeard's pirate ship. At Marine headquarters, uh Sakazuki awaits the outcome of the confrontation between Law and Blackbeard as Blackbeard retaliates against Law's strikes by enveloping him in darkness. Luffy, Chopper, and Jean Bay and Bonnie managed to evade the Pasapisa after Bonnie employs her devil fruit power to disorient it. Jean Bay recounts Kuma's story, uh retailing how he was a disposed king who later became pirate and ultimately a cyborg. Meanwhile, Lilith had guided the remaining straw hat to Egghead's level phase, where they encounter a seraphim resembling Jean Bay. Shaka contests Dragon by predicting his own demise. The Straw Hats fall into Lilith's trap and are compelled to confront S-Shark, who wields multiple powers. The attacks of Sanji, Robin, and Usa prove ineffective against it. Lilith, alongside two other Big Punch satellites, Edison and Pythagoras, remotely controls S-Shark, with Edison conducting experiments to facilitate his evolution. Shaka interrupts the battle revealing Ed's history. Meanwhile, Luffy's group discovers an old advanced robot in a scrapyard. That's a bunch of shit that we're gonna talk about later on in the later parts. Now, Shaka shares his theory about an ancient kingdom linked to the void century, which he believes was annihilated by the world government to erase its history. He connects his the theory to the Ohara incident, where scholars attempted to uncover this history, and during his visit to Ohara, Shaka Sowitch discarded books saved by the scholars during the Isle of Destruction. Meanwhile, Luffy and Chopper investigate the ancient robot and encounter the real Dr. Vegapunk, Dr. Estella Vegapunk. Shaka informs Sanji's group about how Giants rescue Ohara's books 22 years ago when Dr. Vegapunk met with Dragon. He also confirms the identity of their leader to Robin. In the scrapyard, Bonnie attempts to kill Vegapunk, and meanwhile, a masked assassin approaches Egghead. Luffy's group inquires about the Iron Giant, a legendary robot associated with an ancient power source. Vegapunk expresses his desire to leave Egghead to pursue his ambition for harnessing infant energy, making him a target for CP0 assassins. Concurrently, CP0 led by Rob Lucci forcefully infiltrates Egghead. Kuma breaks free during repairs and Kamabaka Kingdom evading Dragon and Ivankov's pursuit. Okay, now that is part one of this breakdown. And I'm gonna go ahead and tell you now, I already seen all 67 episodes of the anime, and this is a very good arc, and the way they're setting this up right now is very good. Like how I like how early we in this in this uh arc where you have folks like Lilith wondering, I wonder how can I control a living being's like natural urges and whatnot. And that's gonna be a big thing when we get later down the line in this arc where like that's gonna ring some bells as we go deeper into this um arc, this chapter of One Piece. Uh, Atlas also mentions that you decide what's real and what's not. And I'm thinking, like, whoa, hold on. Like, okay, at first you're like thinking, like, okay, what does that guy do anything? But trust me, when we get later down the line, once again, that's gonna ring some bells. So, right now, with this first part, it seems like we're setting things up for big reveals. And trust me, there's gonna be some big reveals. So, until part two, I'm gonna go ahead and go on to intermission. But trust me, things are getting good.

Egghead Part 2 CP0 Rematch

SPEAKER_02 4:34:48

The assault on egghead, the straw hats versus CP0, the rematch. As Lucci group initiates their invasion on Egghead, Shaka prepares to counter the assault. However, Atlas disregards orders and is damaged while attempting to confront Luchi. Upon arriving at the scene, an enraged Luffy gears up to battle Luchi. Uh, Sakazuki uh learns of the Straw Hat's presence on Egghead and their alliance with Vegapunk. He dispatches Kizuru to support Luchi and the CP-0 agents. Despite receiving instructions, Luchi disobeys and engages in battle with Luffy. They both unleash their awakened forms, and Vegapunk explains the uniqueness of both Luffy's devil fruit linking to Nika, the sun god. Centomaru arrives to assist Luffy alongside the Seraphims, but is ultimately incapacitated by Luchi's attack. The confrontation between Luffy and Luchi escalates, with Luffy gaining the upper hand. The other straw has learned from Vagapunk that certain devil crew abilities can be replicated through blood transfusions. Luffy reunites with Jean Bay and the crew as they progress toward the label phase area of Egghead. After this defeat, Luchi regroups with Kaku and Stussy. Or Stusi, how we pronounce it. Luffy, Bonnie, and Jean Bey reach Vegapunk's lab where Atlas is receiving medical attention. Following Centomaro's defeat, CP0 regains control over the Seraphims. Kuma, having escaped from Kamabaka Kingdom, like I mentioned in the last part, crashes at the Red Port. Vegapunk seeks assistance from another ally to facilitate their escape from the island. An unknown force deactivates the frontier dome defense system, allowing CP-0 entry. Kizu is then seen approaching Egghead with a marine fleet. Kaku and Zoro class after Kaku fails to destroy the Thousand Sunny. Bonnie pursues through the Vegapunt, demanding answers regarding Kuma. The Kid pirates arrive at Elbat, and meanwhile, Garp heads to G14 to announce his mission to rescue Kobe. Bonnie discovers that Glow and Paw realizes it contains Kuma's memory stored prior to his transformation into a cyborg. Vegapunk attempts to mislead her, but it ultimately fails. Concurrently, Kuma engages in battle with the Marines while attempting to ascend the red line. In the fight between Kaku and Zorro, Kaku unveils his enhanced devil fruit form. Suddenly, uh Stussy uh I think Stusy sounds about right. Uh Stussy reveals her true nature and betrays Kaku and Luchi, attacking both before turning her attention to Zorro. Stussy discloses that she is a spy for Vegapunk. Zorro briefly battles Eshawk until Edison intervenes, regaining control over the Seraphims. Uh Stussi restrains Luci and Kaku, neutralizing their powers, you know, with Sea Prism, Stone, you know. As they prepare to depart, Luffy and Chopper search for Vegapunk and Bonnie, discovering the former is missing. Days later, on Sphinx Island, Marines invade a village in search of Whitebeard's treasure, but Weevil intervenes. Weevil's mother informs Marco that Ryoku has captured Weevil and they head towards Egghead. He's in Saint Gar and Saint Saturn, excuse me, I was about to say the full name, but you know what? It's Saint J. Garcia Saturn, but for some reason I was about to jumble all that up. Good thing I kind of caught myself there. But uh yes, uh Saint Saturn, one of the five elders, uh, to discuss Dr. Vagapon. So tomorrow dispatches numerous pacifista Mark III units to handle world government officials. Simultaneously, Shaka informs the Straw Hats about the current situation, uh, prompting the group to search for Vagapon while Luffy and Zora remain to guard the inconsistent Lucci and Kaku. Bonnie delves into Kuma's memory to comprehend her father's transformation into a cyborg. And trust me, we're gonna talk about that in detail later. On Morgan's airship, Morgan publishes a false news article about depicting Luffy as Dr. Vake Punks kidnapper, which is contested by Vivi. Bonnie explores her father's memories, witnessing his childhood trauma. Meanwhile, chaos erupts in the lab as an explosion occurs, uh, severing communication and disabling security measures. Luffy and Shaka realize someone is instigating trouble, and the rest of the trial has to continue searching for Dr. Vegapunk, and Usopp's group discovers uh Pythagoras damaged from the explosion while Snake petrifies York. You know, one of the sellers. In case I didn't mention that before I like that. I feel like I did, but in case I didn't, well, there we go. As Usopp's group faces off against Snake, Zoro and Luffy find themselves ensnared in their own battle against S Bear and Shawk. Shaka suspects that one of the Vega Punks may be manipulating the seraphim and uh comprehends that they are in a precarious situation with communications severed. Luchi and Kaku propose a temporary alliance with Luffy and Zoro. Zoro and Luffy engage S-hawk and S-Bare, assisted by Luchi and Kaku after negotiating a temporary truce. Meanwhile, on Elba, Shanks and his crew prepare to confront the Kid pirates at sea, offering Kid a choice between surrendering his copies of the rope poner grip or entering into battle. Luffy, Zoro, Luchi, and Kaku battle S-Bare and S-Hawk, whose uh Lunarian abilities withstand their assaults. Zoro and Shaka discover their vulnerability. They are susceptible to when their flames are extinguished. And on the third floor of building A, we have Nami, Brooke, and Edison confronting S Shark, joined by Sanji. Meanwhile, Lilith, Frankie, Pythagoras, and Usopp face Snake. Both Usopp and Lilith fall victim to Snake's petrification. In the basement, Shaka encounters Cyperpole, Agents, and Vegapunk before being fatally attacked. Kiziru shift heads toward Egghead with Saint Saturn aboard. Frank is unable to prevent Snik from destroying Pythagoras. Robin Chopper and Atlas search for Vegapunk while Sandy battles S Shark. Luffy, Zoro, Luchi, and Kaku discover that Shawk has escaped, prompting Zoro and Kaku to pursue it. And three months prior, the world government became aware of Vagapunk's research on the Void Sentry, mobilizing force against him. Vagapunk learns of York's portrayal and that she is and that she killed Shaka to ascend to the status of a world noble. Alright, that's gonna put a cap on part two of this section of the One Piece Extreme Review. Things are definitely getting pretty good, and bro, like I I was fucking digging the Luffy versus Lucci fight, where you were thinking, like, oh, it's gonna be different this time. It ain't gonna be like Ian's lobby, where Luffy had his double fruit awakening, it was gonna be crazy. But then Lucci revealed that he has his Devil Fruit Awakened as well, so he wasn't on the ropes for long. And yeah, you know, things are pretty much setting up with Kizaru and St. Saturn showing up, and we got other conflicts going on on other sides of this door, you know, in other places. But we're gonna talk about that in part three. But for now, I'm gonna just go ahead and go into intermittent because I don't want my throat to dry out doing multiple parts at once.

Egghead Part 3 World Events Explode

SPEAKER_02 4:44:00

Conflicts in other corners. Hours earlier, York orchestrated a covert attack utilizing the seraphim, fearing herself, vagapunk, and the cypherpole with hostages in the label phase. Meanwhile, the red-haired pirates engage the kid pirates at sea, despite kids' intention to unleash a dance punk. Shanks anticipates his move and quickly defeats him with sari. The kid's pirate surrender, offering their rope on a glue, but Shanks departs without accepting them. Dory and Broggy destroy the Kid Pirate's ship, sending kids plunging into the depths of the ocean. Corona infiltrates the Blackbeard Pirates' prison to rescue her captain, Gekamoria, and frees Kobe, who then assists in liberating other prisoners. Kobe, now with a high bounty, distracts a mob of pirates to protect the others. He recalls Blackbeard's plan to trade him for access to Hachinosu and the world government. The pirates face assaults from Play Golem, Sword Member Kujau, and a marine force led by Garp and Toshiki. Kobe finds himself cornered by a mob of pirates. When they attempt to shoot him, their guns fire flowers instead of bullets due to Hibari's use of flower bullets. Garp arrives and employs his galaxy impact attack, causing widespread destruction in Hatsunosu Island as Kobe and Hibari prepare to reunite with Garp. Huzon encases Kibari in Ice, or to Hibari. I'm sorry, I'm thinking Hibari from Kateka Kibin reborn. I'm sorry. Revealing his newfound allegiance to Blackbeard after resigning from the Marines.

In the present, Garp confronts Kuzon, and on Winter Island, Fepo utilized a drug to transform into his Sue Long form to retaliate against Blackbeard and his crew before swimming away with Trafalgar Law. Buggy, embarrassed by his flagship's design, is tortured by Meekhawk and Crocodile, who wish the cross skill to focus on crime for profit. During the torture, Buggy recalls the moment he served his friendship with Red Hair Chains. He instructs his crew via a speaker to seek the One Piece, a quest he had long abandoned. Meanwhile, Sabo returns to uh Memorial Island with Lucia's refugees, bringing joy to the higher-ranking members of the revolutionary army. The army accepts the refugees into their ranks, and Sabo brets Ivankov and Dragon on the true events of the Revelation. Sabo, Dragon, and Ivankov celebrate their successes at the Revelie, including revolutions in eight nations and assaults on world government suppliers. Dragon warns of potential retaliation from the gods' knights, but reassures Sabo that he is a hero despite Cobra's assassination. In a flashback during the turmoil at uh Marie Jois, the revolutionary army liberates slaves and battle Fujitore and Ryoku. I mean, excuse me, hold on. Uh Ryoku. That's gonna be a tough name to pronounce really fast. I'm gonna say Rio. Is that cool? Is that cool, Rio? Alright, Rio? Yeah, let's go with Rio. Uh where was it? Yes. Uh Sabo learned that Charlos was using Kuma to enslave Shirohoshi and focused on rescuing Kuma. Meanwhile, Cobra meets with the five elders alone, instructing his guard to protect Vivi. At Pangea Island, uh Sabo collaborates with Jewelry Bonnie, giving key to Kasuru to free Kuma and the enslaved individuals. Bonnie travels to Egghead to seek Dr. Vegapun's assistance. Cobra questions the five elders about Queen Lily's fate and the significance of the D initial. In the courtyard, Charlos chains up Shirohoshi, intending to keep her as a pet. However, Leo inside, with Mio's guard's support, uh, rescue her. In the throne room, uh, Emu shots Cobra by sitting on the empty throne, mentioning Queen Lou's name. Emu discloses to Cobra that D is connected to a historic mistake made by uh Nefertare Lily, which unleashed the ponabloous. After Cobra confirms that Lily's full name includes a D, Emu stabs him.

And on Hachinosu, Garp confronts the Blackbeard Pirates, instructing his crew to retreat while fending off their attacks. Kobe rushes to assist the woman but is ambushed by Shiyu.

York negotiates with the five elders who request she recreate the mother flame in exchange for protection and the status of a world noble. Amid rising tensions, York is revealed to be held hostage by the Tryads. Alright, that's gonna conclude part three of the Egghead review. Man, like I can't believe Kid is missing gone out of commission for a while. Shanks really fucked him up. Same thing with Law, same thing with Garb. So we got some key put here is getting taken out of the narrative for a little while. And crazy enough that might be for the best because you know you don't wanna split the focus too much, especially with a big story like One Piece. But yeah, like there was a bunch of things going on outside of Egghead that was going on that was gonna play an important factor into what's gonna be happening going forward. But at this point now, it's about Kiziru and the five elders starting to move in on Egghead to deal with the straw has and vegapunk and anyone else that's interfering. But yeah, that's gonna be part three. Uh, I want to say part four is not gonna be very long. Yeah, part four is not gonna be long. Part five is part five is probably gonna be the longest one. Uh part six, not so long, and part seven. Okay, yeah, part seven is gonna be the longest, probably. Maybe it might rival part five, but yeah, it's gonna probably be like a back and forth. So part four is not gonna be very long. Part five probably is part six, not gonna be, you know, like a whole roller coaster type thing. But yeah, let me go ahead and go on the intermission because you know, I don't want my I don't want to lose my voice trying to get through this review, but yeah, things are heating up on it and other places in the world, apparently.

Egghead Part 4 Kizaru And Saturn Land

SPEAKER_02 4:55:19

The conflict escalated into Borsolino Kizerie and St. Saturn. So, Luffy communicates with the five elders, affirming his alliance with Dr. Vegapunk and demanding the police withdrawal for York's safety. Meanwhile, Saturn prioritized York Punk records and the power plant, deeming everything else expendable. York threatens to destroy Egghead if harm. Usa contests the free sacropole agents who seek refuge from the seraphim. Ethnic reserves reverse, excuse me, the petrification of the straw hats due to her affection for Luffy, because you know she is based off Boa Hancock. The crew formulates a plan to escape utilizing Vega Force 1 and the Thousand Sunny's coup de burst to bypass the Marines and head to Elbap, but they find themselves trapped by the Frontier Dome controlled by York's Password. As Luffy's group reaches the Thousand Sunny, Kizuru arrives on Egghead finally and is intercepted by Centamaro while Luffy census Kiziru's presence. The battle intensifies as the Marines attack the Passage Vistas, but the Sea Beast's weapons retaliate, prompting Vice Admiral's uh intervention. Dr. Vegapunk is perplexed by the assault, particularly with the Centamaru present, and suspects that Kiziru is sent to eliminate him. Centamaru clashes with Kizuru, displaying bravery in opposing the Admiral despite being outmatched and honoring his vow to protect Vegapunk. A flashback reveals their first encounter and how Centramaru became Dr. Vegapunk's bodyguard. Kizuru defeats Centa Maru and gains control of the Past Vistas. Meanwhile, Vegapunk and his allies attempt to disable the Frontier Dome as Kizuru enters the level phase. Luchi attempts to assassinate Vegapunk, but Susse intervenes to protect him. Zoro engages Luchi in combat while Lupi confronts Kizuru, asserting that the straw hats have grown significantly stronger. Kuma arrives at Marizwa and unleashes a devastating Ursus shock, prompting Sakazuki to confront him. Despite sustaining severe damage from the Admiral, Kuma managed to teleport away. Sakazuki reflects on the time he captured Bonnie and informs her that Kuma had willingly became a cyborg and a fact that she refused to accept. Meanwhile, on Egghead, Luffy battles Kizuru in his fourth gear snake man form. Kizuru, unwilling to harm Vegapunk but bound by orders, launches Luffy into Vega Force 1, destroying it. As chaos ensues, Bonnie challenges Kizuru but is swiftly overpowered. Kizuru advances toward Dr. Vegapunk, but just as he prepares to act, Luffy returns in his fifth gear as a giant and seizes him. Luffy's transformation awakens the dormant iron giant below. Luffy hurls Kizuru from the control tower, granting the crew a chance to escape. Atlas heads to the Vibrio phase and the Bereal phase. I think that's pronounced. Yeah. To regain control of the pacifists of Mark III. While Vegapunk informs Frankie that Bonnie is alive and also present. Bonnie utilized her age and fruit power to fend off and evade the Marines. By the way, I like how it's not just affecting her age, but she can like either renew items or make them rust or decay or whatnot. It's like kind of OP. Like hell, we didn't even get to the really OP part yet, but we'll get there. Meanwhile, Zora duels Luchi and Luffy battles Kizu. By the way, it's just so weird how it's like there's Luffy and then there's Luchi. And I gotta make that distinction, especially when I have to mention both of them in such a short time frame, so it's like just makes it a little bit more tongue-twisting, you know. So yes, Zoro is dueling Luchi, and Luffy battles Kizaru, who conjures the fight clones to distract him. Luffy counters with his human human fruit model Nika powers, which is funny because like by now we know it's not the gum gum fruit anymore. We know that now, but I'm like, ding, that sounds so weird because like we're so used to going again. The gum gum fruit, you know, like gum gum, rocket, and all that type shit. But Kizuru deceives him and returns to the control tower, Catherine Usa. Big up, Atlas, and Sanji depart in the Big Up Tank 8 to rescue Bonnie with Kizuru in pursuit. Frankie joins them, and the Marines are alerted to Bigapunk's departure from the Lava phase. Atlas substance. Sorry, I'm tongue tied. Uh subsequently commands the pacifistas to assault the Marines. The Pacifistas retaliate against the Marines as Dr. Bagapun's group moves toward the Fabrio phase. Sandy locates Bonnie, who is under attack by Vice Admiral Pomsky. Bonnie employs her NDE technique to incapacitate the Marines but becomes cornered by Vice Admiral Bluegrass. Sandy intervenes to rescue Bonnie and they return to the Vega Tank 8. Meanwhile, Luffy's confrontation with Kizu re-escalates. Saint Saturn arrives on that head finally, halting the Path of Fisters and issuing warnings to the Marines. He transforms into a demonic spider hybrid, like uh Uchi-oni type motherfucker and kills a Marine who dares to look at him. As Sanji's group attempts to retreat, Kizuru obliterates their escape group, causing them to plummet. Luffy strikes Kizuru with a gum gum star gun while reverting to his normal form due to the exhaustion of Pip Gear. The Vega Tank 8 crashes, but the crew survives. Saturn confronts Vegapunk, and Bonnie, overwhelmed by rage and grief, stabs Saturn. On that note, I'm going to end that. That's gonna be part four. Because once if I go any further, then I'm just pretty much gonna be talking about Kuma's backstory. And man, I dare say this is like the best part about this art. Like crazy enough, it's like I love the fight. I was I was digging the conflicts, the fights and whatnot. That was cool and all. That's why I would praise Adriel Olda to this day for his master class on storytelling. Like you can say whatever you want about the art design, the character designs and whatnot. But hey, to be fair, it's been getting a lot better since Wano. Actually, I want to say it's been getting better since Whole Cake Island. Maybe Dress Rosa. Maybe. Well, it uh you shit. Like you could say that the story definitely evolved where it's and like there was like a whole bunch of shit going on in Dress Rosa, but my point being is that I just don't think One Piece is getting now. Actually, it is because it's like super popular. I mean, it's the highest growth C manga series in the world right now. So it's definitely getting its flowers, but in a way, it's crazy how a lot of people is dismissing it because of the art style and how long it is. But when you actually give it a chance, man, it's so fucking good. So fucking good. But yeah, part five is gonna be Kuma's backstory. Part six is gonna be the Buster Call, and that's when pretty much all five of the five elders are gonna be showing up by then, and then finally, we'll have Vegapon doing the broadcast. But yeah, let me just go ahead and go into intervention right now.

Egghead Part 5 Kuma’s Tragic Past

SPEAKER_02 5:06:19

Alright, here we go. A tragically beautiful tale of Bartholomew Coon. After Bonnie attacks Saint Saturn, the world noble swiftly heals and Stranger, chastising Kiziru for his failures. Saturn then attempts to eliminate Luffy, but Frankie intervenes. Despite Vegapunk's betrayal, Saturn expressed gratitude for his scientific contributions. Bonnie confronts Saturn regarding Kuma's faith. Saturn reveals that Kuma was born a slave and a member of the nearly extinct Buccaneer race who committed a crime. Bonnie recollects Kuma expressing his desire to be a hero, like the warrior of liberation, the sun god Nika. Flashing back 47 years earlier in the Sword Baking, Kuma, born to a Buccaneer father named Clapp and a human mother. After their heritage was exposed, they were enslaved by the world nobles. Kuma endured horrific conditions. His mother perished, and Clapp was killed by a goddamn motherfucking celestial dragon with those punchable faces. When they were like when Clap was encouraging Kuma to believe in Nika, and they were like one celestial dragon came into the room, shot Clap, and was like shut the hell up with making all that goddamn noise. Really? You shoot him for making too much noise. Well, shit. Anyways, years later, the World Nobles orchestrated a genocidal tournament on God Valley when Kuma attempted to escape. A young Ivankov and Ginny arrived, urging him to survive. During the World Nobles hunting competition on God Valley, Ginny reveals that two devil fruits, the fish fish fruit model Azure Dragon and the Paw Paw Fruit, are present on the island and essential for their escape. She discloses that she leaked information about God Valley and its hidden treasure to the public, prompting both the Rocks Pirates and the Roger Pirates to raid the island. Ivankov and Kuma secured the devil fruits, but Charlotte Linland, Big Mom, attacks and seizes the fish fit group, and that's how she ends up obtaining it. But the reason why Kaido ended up getting it and eating it and becoming who he is is mainly because Big Mom wanted to be want to have him forever in his death in a way. So that's the explanation behind that. Kuma consumes the pawpaw fruit and challenges Saturn to find the oppressive regime that enslaved his people. Kuma, Ivankov, and Genny return to the Sorbei Kingdom after Kuma assists 500 individuals and escaping God Valley. Ivankov eventually departs while Kuma and Ginny begin a new life of freedom. So yeah, that's how Kuma got his devil fruit powers. Now, eight years after the God Valley incident, Kuma lives peacefully in the Sorbe Kingdom using his devil fruit powers to assist others. Ginny meticulously manages his effort to prevent exploitation for his kindness because the thing is he's healing these people, but at the same time, it's like he's taking on the pain that the people that he healed was enduring. So it's like painful to him, but he likes doing it for people. And Genie just don't like the idea of all those elders and whatnot taking advantage of his kindness. That's the main thing. Oh dang. Okay. So where was I with this? Yeah, yeah. Uh the kingdom suffers under the tyrannical King Bakori, who prioritized the heavenly tribute over the welfare of the populace enslaving financially struggling residents. Kuma secretly absorbs the pain of others. Dang, I should have just shut up and let my nose talk. And Kuma secretly absorbed the pain of others as it will eventually return to his source if not addressed, harming himself in the process. Despite Jenny's love and proposal to get married, he declines, fearing for his safety due to his buccaneer heritage, you know, like his mom and dad and what he all went through. So he just didn't want that for Jenny. So it's like a real Spider-Man type moment. Uh okay, here we go. Inspired by Dragon and the Freedom Fighters, Kuma dreams of aiding others on a broader scale. After opposing Bakori's regime, Kuma and Ginny are imprisoned. The Freedom Fighters overthrow the king and liberate the kingdom. Kuma joins Dragon and Ivankov, forming the revolutionary army. Years later, Ginny, now a captain, is captured by an unknown enemy. Two years after her kidnapping and forced marriage to a world noble, she contacts the revolutionary army to say her final farewell, informing them of her illness and impending death. Now, a little context. Apparently, they were experimenting on her to develop sapphire scales, which uh caused her to have like these like shiny gemstones appearing on her body. And it's crazy how like my whole thing was it's bad enough that they did that to her. But the whole forced marriage part, like, if you just planned on experimenting on her, like why force her to get married to a dope? You know, I don't know. I guess that's just an added on tragedy to where, oh yeah, like since Kuma didn't want to marry her, then somebody else will. Now Kuma rushes to her side, but she passes away before she he arrives, and that's tragic. Upon his arrival, Kuma discovers that Ginny had a daughter, Bonnie, and vows to raise her as his own. Kuma leaves the revolutionary army to care for Bonnie after she inherits Ginny's terminal illness known as Sapphire Scales. Once again, maybe I should just shut up. Kuma learns that Bonnie will not survive past the age of 10. Bonnie mistakenly believes that she will be cured in time. Heartbroken by this, Kuma is unable to reveal the truth to her. A year later, unrest arises once again as Bakori returns, threatening the Sorbet Kingdom. Now, when Bakori wreaks havoc on the kingdom, Kuma confronts the tyrant violently, leading to the event being dubbed after Solar Revolution. Although Kuma is crowned the king, Bulldog, a former king, assumes leadership because you know he Kuma just wants to be in his church, um, doing his job, playing his position. He's not really interested in being king, he just wanted to take down Cori. But speaking of which, I'm gonna talk about him in just a moment. Uh, Kuma discovers that Bonnie has consume the age age route, allowing her to alter her appearance. Bakori spreads false propaganda to regain power with the world government support. Kuma defeats Bakori again, earning a bounty that forces him to leave Sorbe. Kuma travels the world in search for a cure for Bonnie, crossing paths with the Revolutionary Army and reconnecting with Dragon. Kuma then meets Dr. Vegapunk, who offers an experimental stem cell treatment for Bonnie in exchange for Kuma as a prototype for powerful clone soldiers. Kuma agrees, prioritizing Bonnie's life with the soldiers being named the Pastafista. But there's a little bit more context. It was like there's more truth to why he agreed to become an assigned. It wasn't like that. And I'll explain. Now, at Dr. Vegapunk's lab, Saturn contacts Vagapunk and rejects Kuma as the face of the clone army. He imposes stringent conditions. Kuma must become a warlord, a cyborg weapon, and surrender his free will. Vegapunk objects to this, but Kuma consents, sacrificing himself to ensure that Bonnie receives life-saving treatment. Saturn demands that Bonnie be placed under government surveillance, severing her connection to Kuma. Kuma requests that she is to be treated in the Torbe Kingdom and kept unaware of the truth. And over six months, her treatment did succeed, and she is expected to be fully cured within a year. She and Kuma return to the Torbe Kingdom, but he departs after Alpha, a CPH agent, is assigned to monitor her. News of Kuma's compliance as a warlord confuses the Revolutionary Army. Kuma begins writing letters to Bonnie while heading to Fucha Village, away in his next hip quarters. In the East move, Kuma observes Luffy's training, reminiscing about a past conversation with Dragon. He realizes that Luffy is Dragon's son. While at sea, Kuma pins heartfelt letters to Bonnie, so they are intercepted and destroyed by Alpha. As Bonnie's 10th birthday approaches, she's finally cured of the sapphire scales. However, Alpha refuses to allow her to leave, prompting Connie to become suspicious of her. Connie, who's like this older woman I was looking after for Bonnie, discovers that Alpha is a government agent and divides a plan to aid Bonnie in escaping to reunite with Kuma. Disguised as Connie, Bonnie successfully leaves employing her distorted future attack to defeat Alpha and set sail with a new crew. News of her escape spreads marked the beginning of her rise as an infamous pirate in the new era. Now, before I forget, I want to say I know I alluded to her age eight group powers being kind of OP, but it's a distorted future ability that she got to where she can imagine herself in an ultimate timeline in the future where she was like this, that, or the third. And trust me, it it's really nice when we get to part six or seven. I want to say it's gonna be, yeah, it's probably gonna be like six. But let's keep going. So, two years prior to the current timeline, the Bonnie pirates arrive on islands for Kuma, who is secretly present but avoids contact to protect Bonnie, she declares her intent to find both Kuma and Nika, hoping to capture her father's attention. Meanwhile, Luffy's growing notoriety elicits responses from Dragon Ape, Team Bay, and Kuma, who notes that both his and dragon's children have become pirates. As Salvador, uh, after Luffy punts a celestial dragon, Kuma separated the straw hats to both save them and demonstrate the level of adversity they will face in the new world. See, that's the things like that. Deep cuts where oh, so all that shit that uh Kuma did back in Salbadi, you're like wondering why is he doing all that? And it's like, yeah, there was like a whole backstory that you have to like get to Egghead to fully understand. Now, on Egghead, Vegapunk is ordered by Saturn to install a self-destruct mechanism in Kuma to erase his free will. Despite Vegapon's protest, Kuma consents to have his memories extracted and requests to protect the thousand sunny until the draw has returned to Salmi, believing that Luffy will change the world. He reflects on his life, receives kind words from Vegapon, and expresses gratitude for Bonnie's safety. In the present, Bonnie witnesses Kuma's memories and is overcome with emotion after learning of his sacrifices. And by the way, that was like a very beautiful moment when I see Vegapunk crying his eyes out at the idea that Kuma is selflessly sacrificing everything for his daughter. And Bonnie gets to see that, actually see his memories, and was like, damn, dad did all that for me. Yeah. And the and the cherry on top was oh, beg upon doctor. When you see my daughter, give her this pendant and tell her happy 10th birthday. And I was like, and you should have seen the way it was animated, too. I was like, so after viewing Kuma's memories, Bonnie reconciles with Vegapunk, who presents her with the sapphire necklace intended for a 10th birthday from Kuma, and now aware of the truth, Bonnie understands that Saturn, not Vegapunk, is responsible for Kuma's fate. Presently, Saturn coldly declares that Kuma is dead while Bonnie attempts to attack him with distortion future but failed. Saturn reveals that he granted Bonnie her age age with power through an experiment as a baby, which weakened her perception of the future falter. He dismisses Nika as a myth and admits to infesting Jenny with the saffried scale, which Bonnie inherited. As Bonnie despondently succumbs to place her circumstances, Kuma arrives on Egghead and protects her from Saturn's attacks. Shot by Kuma's survival, Saturn reveals that he had activated Kuma's self-destruct mechanism. Kuma utilizes armament hockey and delivers a powerful punch to Saturn. Now I'm gonna stop right there. That's gonna be part five right there. But like not only with the bad story, but Saturn coming out of nowhere being like this mustache twirling villains where oh yeah, it was me, Bonnie. I'm the one that gave you the AJ screw. I'm the one that infected your mother with the sapphire scales. I'm the one who made Kuma turn to this soulless cyborg soldier. It was me, bitch.

SPEAKER_00 5:23:10

It was me, Barry. It was me, Bonnie.

SPEAKER_02 5:23:21

It slipped out like I didn't mean to say Barry, but it just slipped out like, hey, fuck it, we bought because that's how it felt when I heard that shit. Well, I was like, this motherfucker. Uh but yeah, that's part five now. I'm like this is one hell of a bad story. This is like top five tragic backstories in this series alone. Because there's Robin, there's Sanji. I want to say Nami, but I feel there's more to it than that, other than you know, with the whole thing with the Arlong Pirates. Uh I don't feel bad for Doffie that much because you know he pretty much has leaned into being the villain and whatnot. So it's like I get his circumstances when he was younger, but I don't empathize with him being the way that he is.

SPEAKER_01 5:24:22

I want to say, is there a little more chopper?

SPEAKER_02 5:24:28

I want, well, not so much chopper. Because, like, you know, his parents were reindeer, so it's like they were this animal. Meanwhile, Chopper was, you know. Yeah, so I'm like, okay, I can't really say Chopper, though. I'm not thinking if there is a top five, like I wanna say Kuma, Robin, Sandy, those definitely is on the list. I'm kind of blanking on the uh other two. But yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and go into intermission. Part six is gonna be shorter. It's maybe gonna be the bust we call. Like, in other words, at this point, the five elders is like, hey, yo, you know what? Beat this whole fucking island, like fucking like this fucking call. Just mute the whole island. And then after that, we need the broadcast that big pump does, and that's gonna be pretty long, pretty long, and after that we just gonna pretty much recap and summarize everything that we talked about here and wrap it up, man. Pretty much be done with the one piece history review until L BAP does his 26th episode for the year of 2026. But yeah, we're gonna go ahead and race my windows.

Egghead Part 6 Buster Call Begins

SPEAKER_02 5:26:09

Kuma's punch sends Saturn crashing through buildings, allowing Sanji and Frankie to move freely and attend to Bonnie. Vegapon reveals that Kuma's self-destruct mechanism was designed to shut him down. Yeah, it was designed to shut him down, not to kill him, theorizing that Kuma's actions, motivated by love and a unique buccaneer power, enable him to defy his programming and save Bonnie. Bonnie tearfully expressed her gratitude to Kuma for his sacrifices and love, addressing him as her time father despite his reputation. Saturn, furious and regenerating from his injuries, attempts another attack but is countered by Sanji and Frankie. Kiziru intervenes and strikes Frankie with Kuma in a vegetative state. Atlas carries him while Vegapunk chapstized Kiziru for his lack of empathy. Saturn orders a buster call to annihilate Egghead. Now, the Marines evacuate Egghead in anticipation of the buster call, but Seven and Kiziru remain to ensure the island's obliteration. Vegapunk implores them to reconsider warning that the loss would set humanity back a century, but Savon dismisses him, emphasizing the need to eradicate all knowledge of the boy century and revealing that he ordered the destruction of the researcher's ship. Meanwhile, Nami informs Sandy about the current situation, particularly now that Vapor Force 1 has been destroyed. The busted call had commenced, wreaking havoc on the island as Kizaru sabotages the Bachman rocket, scattering Frankie's group. Saturn commands the Passifisas to execute Kuma and Bonnie. Unbeknownst to Saturn, the Marine ship tasked with eliminating the researchers is destroyed, and a surviving Marine reports an unidentified group approaching Egghead. After this meal, Luffy transforms to fifth gear and to evade the Marines. Vegapunk contacts Atlas to relay a message to Bonnie, who commands the Pastor Fisa to protect the straw hats and assist in their escape, defying both the Marines and Saturn. Vegapunk, fearing that Bonnie might be killed by a weapon resembling her father, secretly programmed the Pastor Fisas to grant Bonnie authority over them, surpassing even the five elders. Enraged, Saturn impales Vegapunk and instructs Kizuru to eliminate everyone. Kizuru attacks, but Luffy intervenes, uh, striking him anyways. Elsewhere, the Iron Giant awakens at Vegapunk's side. Bonnie noticed that Luffy's heartbeat resonates with a tune Kuma taught her, and Vegapunk speculates that Luffy is the sun god Nika, which is signed to Bonnie. As the Marines falter, Dory and Brogdy arrive on a massive ship from Elba to assist the Straw Hatch, tailing Luffy as the sun god Nika. Dory and Broggy make their presence known on Egghead, instructing Oimo and Kashi's students to flank the Marines. Zoro Battalucci refuses to be swayed into surrendering. Marines falter as their ships are destroyed, compelling Vice Admiral Red King to alter tactics. Bonnie, tier fleet, confies and Luffy, that she has been searching for him all these years, addressing him as Nika and asking him to teach her to fight, leaving him bewildered by the name because he didn't know who Nika was. Like, that's what news. Luffy strikes Saturn with a gum gum don Gatling while Sandi deflects Kizuri's laser. Luffy and Sandy remain behind as the three advances. Saturn then counters Van Augur and Katerina Devon of the Blackbeard Pirates who revealed their allegiance and hint at Blackbeard's ambitions. Saturn questions their motives before attacking, but they escape using Augur's warping ability. Shortly after, they meet Caribou, who begs to join Blackbeard's Creek. Augur holds Caribou at gunpoint as Caribou pleads for his life, offering Blackbeard information regarding Poseidon and Pluton to prove his worth. The Marines struggle to penetrate the Pestifistus shield, deliberating whether to suspend the busted call, but ultimately decided to kill Bonnie to regain control over the pestifies. The Vice Admiral Tosa attempts to eliminate her but is defeated by Broggy, who arrives with Dory and the other giants from El Bath to support the Straw Hats. Vegapunk refuses to abandon the island, entrusting Bonnie's safety to the crew. Sanji carries him, but Kizuru fatally wounds Vegapunk before Luffy intervenes, enlarging his body to restrain both Kizuru and Saturn. Back in the lab, a video of Vegapunk commences broadcasting a message aimed at revealing the truth to the world. So, first of all, RP to sell a Vegapunk. In the end, he was a good man. It's just that he was cursed with great knowledge. That's the kind of thing to where that's the kind of thing with all these genius characters where they get used by the government or some company for the for the needs of the many, but once their usefulness is up, they just get tossed aside or whatnot, they get killed off, or something like that. A lot of them are really smart, but it seems like the only time. Yeah, well, it's different depending on the character, but I won't say there's some similarity to being like one of the smartest characters in a series, but the way you get treated just feels like a prison. And yeah, Bonnie now sees Luffy in his fifth gear, so it's like in a way, he's the hero that she's been waiting on and whatnot. So it's kind of like a it's it's been a big character development moment for Bonnie throughout this whole series, throughout this whole article, to be honest with you. Um yeah, the bust of call was kind of fucked up, especially seeing Vegapunk's uh devastated look on his face when he saw all the buildings and whatnot being destroyed. His dream island, his dream city was being destroyed right before his eyes. So I understand that. And yeah, like I guess that's just part of the craziness behind one day as a series. So yeah, part six was pretty short, but after this, oh man, I really gonna have to uh rest my voice for part seven because we got lunch. So let me go ahead and go into intervention.

Egghead Part 7 Vegapunk Broadcast

SPEAKER_02 5:34:29

Silencing the world shaking truth. Vegapunk spills the tea. In the broadcast video, Shaka questions Dr. Vagapunk about disseminating his message globally, expressing concerns about censorship and timing. Vagapunk initially considers granting the public an hour but shortens it to 10 minutes after Shaka cautions that enemies could cut the feed. That's some good foresight right there. To ensure its success, Vegapunk hijacks the Marines communications for an unstoppable global broadcast, which the Marines are unable to shut down. Around the world, allies, civilians, and even the revolutionary army tune in. Meanwhile, the elders suspect the broadcast may be a dead man switch and strive to locate its source within the lava phase. On Egghead, Lupi battles Kizuru and Saturn, flattening them with his new Gum Gum Dawn symbol attack. Although Saturn manages to recover. Realizing Vegapunk must be silenced, Saturn finally summons the other four elders. The five elders, all of them are now on Edgad, alarming everyone as Vegapunk prepares his broadcast. He asserts that stopping it is impossible even if disrupted. The elders' mythical zone double fruit forms are revealed. Saturn as a Gyuki, uh Marcus Mars as a Isumade, Topman Walker as a Fengxi, Ethan Baron v. Nushiro as a Bakosu, and Shepard Jupiter as a sandworm. Nushiro immobilizes half the Pasifisa while Mars assaults the frontier zone. Sanji urges the crew to escape, but Zoro remains engaged in battle with Luchi. Upon hearing Sanji insult him, Zoro unleashed a three-sword style technique to defeat Luchi. Meanwhile, Luffy clashes with Saturn, Warfree, and Jupiter, the latter of whom swallows him whole. Just then, Dory and Broggy appear, slaying Jupiter and freeing Luffy, declaring that they had come to fetch him after growing tired of waiting on Elbat. Mars, in his mythical zone, zone uh double fruit form, reaches the frontier dome, instilling terror in Jean Bay with his hockey. Jean Bay urges Zoro to retreat, but Zoro refuses. Jean Bay drags him away, utilizing a dust cloud to facilitate their escape. Luchi reverts to his human form and reveals York's location, the Straw Hast escape plan, and the captive agents warning Mars of Vegapun's imminent broadcast. Mars expressed gratitude but dismisses the idea of sparing Kaku. Meanwhile, Luffy and I mean excuse me. Luffy reunites with the giant warrior pirates who assists him against Warcrees devastating hockey. With Brogan Dory's support, they repel the elders' assaults and effectuate their escape, though the elders regenerate. Elsewhere, Bonnie's group confronts the vice admirals while Mars confronts York. The Marines witness the Iron Giant emerging from the flames, murmuring an apology to Joy Boy. The Marines regain control after incapacitating the pacifistas and move toward Luffy and Bonnie's escape. Nustro rages over Vegapon's defiance while the giants attempt to retreat before the Marines can target their ship. Frankie defeats Red King as Bonnie transforms Palmski into a child and dispatches. In the label phase, Mars demolishes the broadcast room but fails to halt the telecast. York assists him in locating the concealed transponder snail, which he senses within punk records. Meanwhile, Sussey remains behind to deactivate the Frontier Dome, and Edison opts to fly through the dome barrier to enable the draw his escape. Luffy fends off Jupiter but reverts to his standard form. And after pursuing some a call, I'm sorry if I pronounce it incorrectly, he regains his strength and assaults Warcry only to recoil in agony. Saturn confronts Nami's group as Mars discovers the transponder snail moments before the broadcast commences. Mars discovers in a fit of rage that he's been detected by Decoy Transponder Snail, failing to stop Vagapunk's broadcast, which reaches audiences worldwide. He warns the other elders that there's no way to halt it and that Vegapunk canceled the team Ohara's mission. At the shore, Sandy rescues Bonnie from Nutrio, delivering a powerful threat before Oimo and Kashi restrain the elder as Bonnie employs her to sort a future to grow into a giant. Vegapunk reveals he committed two grave sins and programs the broadcast to play upon his death, urging the world not to judge his killer. In the lab of phase, Saturn assaults the straw hats while demanding control over the broadcast. Mars contemplates destroying the lab, but is halted as Veg finally warns that humanity will soon sink into the blue sea. Oh got much more to go, so bear with me. Vegapunk's proclamation that the world will sink ignites this loop globally. Some fear that his words will incite widespread turmoil, while the five elders, growing increasingly desperate, resolve to annihilate everything on Earthhead. Vegapunk predicts a massive earthquake followed by a 1-miter rise in sea levels that will submerge numerous islands, asserting that this phenomenon is not natural. As Saturn rushes towards the Mother Flame, Vegapunk confesses that his first sin was creating the Mother Flame, an unlimited energy source. His second sin was researching the pony blibs using O'Hara's document to study the void century. Meanwhile, Chaos engulfs Egghead as Luffy battles Walkery and the Straw Has attempts to escape. Vegapunk further reveals that Joy Boy, a rubber-bodied man akin to Nika, was the world's first ever pilot. He elucidates that the point of glyphs recounts an ancient war between Joy Boy and the 20 kingdoms that formed the world government. Mars attempts to suppress the broadcast with his hockey, but it persists. Vegapunk states that the conflict was ideological, uh, excuse me, uh ideological rooted from in the advanced kingdom uh from which Joy Boy originated, whose weaponry exceeds modern science. Imagine that, like eight, nine hundred years ago, they had technology that more advanced than what we got now. Interesting. Meanwhile, a gravely injured Edison extends the Labophase Island clouds to facilitate the withdrawal has escape. I'm gonna be honest with you, it's like a lot of interesting shit that's been going down. As Chaos erupts on Egghead, Dusty is contacted by Edison, who instructs her to lower the frontier dome while she feels lost regarding her future now that Vegapunk is dead. Edison counseled her to flee and live, though she wishes to liberate Kaku first, despite knowing he will likely retaliate for her betrayal. At the coast, Frankie saves Bonnie from a lethal attack from Nustro before she reverts to her normal form. Nustro ascends and unleashes a devastating attacks that cleave the label phase into causing the imprisoned cypherpole agents and seraphim to plummet to the island's center. Vegapunt reveals that a thousand years ago, continents existed, but during the void century, a man-made cataclysm submerged the ancient world, raising sea levels by 200 meters, caused by the ancient weapons, such as Poseidon Pluton. He discloses that a stolen fragment of the Mother Flame powered the Lucia's destruction, substantiating the peril. Bigupon warns that the ancient war never truly ended and hence that the Roger Pirates possesses knowledge of the truth. York ultimately realized that the Iron Giant is guarding the true transponder snail. As the five elders shift their focus to the Iron Giant, Bigupon cautions that any further speculation would be unwise, yet he continues, intensifying curiosity regarding what Roger truly left behind. On Egghead, the straw has prepared for launch, while Jean Beck intercepts Nushiro, providing Zoro the opportunity to engage him, both astonished that the other wields a Kitetsu sword. Meanwhile, Marines surround the giant ship and unleash concentrated attacks. Warkuri abandons his pursuit to join the other elders in confronting the Iron Giant. Vegapunk announces that he has one final message and begins addressing those who carry the will of bee in their name. Before he can disclose this true significance, Warkuri tackles the Iron Giant into the ocean, abruptly terminating Vegapunk's broadcast. As the Iron Giant sinks, it ponders the whereabouts of Joy Boy. Damn. What does the Will D mean? So it's so Vegapunk interrupted broadcast ignites global confusion over his death, with some attributing blame to the world government, while others accuse Luffy due to the false allegation that he was holding Vegapunk captive. On Egghead, the five elders was ascertained that only Lilith and Atlas remain connected to Punk Records and proceed to eliminate them. Kaku permits Dusty to escape. The Giants set sail alongside Luffy, Dory, and Broggy while Bonnie transforms several Marines into children. Mars assaults the ship, but Luffy enters fifth gear and inspires Bonnie to work in her own Nika-like form. See, that's why I was talking about the historic futures where she can also do this. So, with the assistance of Sandy, Frankie, and Bonnie, Luffy sends Mars flying with a gum gum dawn balloon. Meanwhile, Vegapunk's broadcast resumes, prompting Yor to insist that the broadcast on transponder snail must be destroyed. Atlas heads to the label phase to check on the others as Jupiter attacks inadvertently, sending the Cypher pole agents and Seraphim to the Marine ships and War Creed charges forward. Emmett, the Iron Giant, rises from the sea and halts him. A flashback occurs 26 years ago, where Vegapunk learned Clover's true identity as a bearer of D, and after the latter's death, took over his research. In the present, Atlas sacrifices herself so the Sonny can escape to the sea, but not before knocking out Lilith, preventing New York from tracking her. After broadcast reveals that discovering the One Piece is intertwined with understanding the true history behind the fourth century and what's been going down, which the Roger Pirates have uncovered. Jupiter attacks Emmett and Saturn strikes the giant ship, but is thwarted by Luffy and Bonnie. As Vegapon reveals the fate of the world is linked to the pirates, reactions ripple through the public and Marines, leading to an attack that permanently destroys the transponder snail, concluding the transmission indefinitely. After Emmett inquires about Luffy's name, he harnesses a significant amount of Joy Boy's Conqueror's Honky to safeguard Luffy and his allies. But man, what Luffy was done by how much hockey. Joy Boy only gave Emmett like a little bit of time. Let me just give you like a little bit of taste of my hockey, like just in case something happens in the future and you might need it. This action incapacitates all of the Marines, dispel all the five elders' transformations, and sends them, except Saturn, back to Panga Island. Excuse me, Pangea Castle. With all the Marines incapacitated, the Straw Had Pirates and the Giant Warrior Pirates depart Egghead. Because, you know, Kizuru and Vegapunk were like genuine friends and shit. As the Marines and Morgans deal with the aftermath of the Egghead incident, it is revealed that Vegapunk had been aware of York's betrayal two weeks prior. He had set his plan in motion to disseminate uh disseminate the truth upon his death, having erased his memory to prevent York from discovering this. As the Giant ship set sail, Jean Bay knows the unusual silence stemming from Luffy's disappointment over failing to save Vagapunk. Back on Egghead, Lucci coldly claims that Stussy is dead, while Saturn breached the Vice Admiral's. Well, I don't think Stussi's really dead. I think Cuck just let her go and Lucci's just covering for her. While Saturn breached the Vice Admiral, stating that they have obtained what is needed to pursue the remaining flames. He recalls that scientists failed to activate the giant robot 200 years ago, making Emmett's revival all the more shocking and more like an oversight. And surprise, surprise, hit him on the ass. York awakens to find Edison escaping with punk records. In the Marie's roi, the world nobles panic over an impending uh food crisis as the Garland Garland is appointed the new godhead of science and defense, joining the elders. Suddenly, Saturn senses Emu's wrath before allowing Joy Boy, quote unquote, you know, Luffy, to escape. Saturn attempts to plead for mercy, claiming that the power of the human human fruit model Nika is too unpredictable, but Emu erases him, leaving only a skeleton before the astonished vice admirals. So it's almost like that. It's kind of getting to a point where it's like that cartoonish uh villain of the week type formula to where, oh, you failed me for the last time. On punk records, it is revealed that the surviving remnants of Bigapunk have merged into a single entity, now referred to as Botheria. And keep in mind, Bigapunk in his design, he had like a huge noggin, a huge noggin, but it got replaced with this apple forehead. And meanwhile, his huge noggin is like in a jail chamber of some sort, kind of like. A preservation chamber and essentially Stella Vegapunk and by essential all the satellites have survived, but you know, York no longer part of them anymore. Like she got cut off because oh, she wanted to be a world noble so bad. Now in Kamabaka's kingdom, Dragon and the revolutionaries discuss the global repercussions of Vegapont's message aboard the ship. Lilick assures Luffy that Vegapunt still lives on through them, uplifting their spirits. Well, his spirits. The crew prepares for a banquet as they sail to Elbath, while Bonnie discovering her father smiling at her side, and Luffy boldly declaring his ambition to become King of the Pirates as per usual, unaware that he is already being observed from Elbath's shores. Now, I kind of do like how Lilith's kind of tagging along to Elbath. So, in a way, it's like they did technically succeed in the mission to get Vegapunk out of Egghead. Lilith is a Vegapunk and still a Vegapunk. He might have

Wrap Up Seasonal Future And Sign Off

SPEAKER_02 5:53:20

died in the normal sense, in a way, but like his mind and by extension, all the satellites are still there. So technically, he did succeed, just not in the way that he thought. But yeah, it's like I always wonder like what would be like to have Vegapunk as part of the crew. Now I think about it, but like Lilith would be like a it would make sense, especially, you know, what can I say? Like, it can't just be Nami and Robin being the only straw head girls. Like, I don't think Lilith's gonna officially join the Straw Heads unless something happens in Elbath or whatnot, to where like, okay, it's official, we'll just might as well have you part of the crew. Unless something like that happens, then I don't think so, but it'll be nice though. So that's the end of part seven, and that's pretty much the end of the egghead island review. Just to summarize, so after departing Wano, the Straw has pursued the final opponent uh role opponent with needed for Lupe's string to become the king of the pirates. Saba's communication with the revolutionary army is interrupted, leading to the destruction of Lucia. The Straw has rescued Zuri Wani from a shark and encountered Dr. Vegapunk and his satellite. A CP-0 unit resembling Bartholomew Kuma is suspect to eliminate Vegapunk. Luffy learns about Kuma's backstory and engages a pacifista in battle while Fonnie seeks revenge against Vegapunk for her father's transformation. The hard pirates are attacked by the Black Pier Pirates, igniting a struggle for the role opponent glyphs. The straw has confront various threats on Egghead, including Vegapunk satellites and the CP-0 agents. The narrative unveils Kuma's tragedy past his transformation into a sideboard and his blush with Bonnie. Tension's rides escalates as the Marines, led by Kiziru and the Five Elders, launch a butter call on Edhead to eliminate Vegapunk and the Straw Hats. Vegapunk broadcasts crucial truth about the Void Sentry and the history of Joy Boy, which is interrupted by the elders. The Straw Has, alongside allies like Dory and Broggy, confront the Marines while Luffy transformed into a giant to battle Kiziru. Amid the chaos, Vegapunk's message gets across the world, unveiling significant truth about the world government, and Luffy and his crew managed to escape egghead with while the aftermath of Vegapunk's actions had global implications, setting the stage for future conflict. Now we are in the final leg of One Piece, um, so to speak, because that's what was announced way back in like Wano and whatnot, where at this point uh we're getting close to the end. Like, I want to say if there's like four legs to One Piece wearing that final leg. And this actually concludes quote unquote season one of One Piece, where at this point, it's just gonna be 26 episodes of LBAF or whatever art they're working on per year up until the arc is completed. So it's gonna be 26 episodes of LBATH or the year 2026. Who knows how many episodes there's actually gonna be? So, as far as I know, it could be like two to three years before they get past LBAF, maybe longer, maybe longer. I don't know. I don't know how long LBAF is gonna be because at this point, the anime pretty much caught up with the manga. Yeah, after all these years, like after 30 years, it's like we're getting to a point where, yeah, like at this point, you might as well slow it down with the anime, let the manga like get some distance and then go from there. But I am glad to say that this concludes the one piece of stream review for now. Either this is gonna be uploaded into three parts, or I'm just gonna do a super compilation of all the parts. But hell yeah, what can I say? It's like a five-star anime to me. Because, oh man, like you're just gonna have to go back and listen to the whole extreme review all over again if just to unpack how much I love the series. But yeah, I didn't wanna spend too much time. So, with that being said, go ahead and have yourself a good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night. But ultimately, do take it easy on yourself and remember to stay nerdy and that great things are coming. I'm gonna go ahead and zone up out of here, and I guess I'll see you when we get through with uh 26th episodes of Elbat. Like, we're halfway there already. So I wanna say another 13 weeks, maybe sometime around October. Maybe October. We'll talk about Elbath.
