Speaker 1: Go in and welcome back to another episode of the
One Piece Virgin Podcast with me. Today we got the
Virgin herself covering the second half of Skypea Poseidon. What's
up Gamer?
Speaker 2: Hello, gamers.
Speaker 3: You guys have sick side in today.
Speaker 2: So if I have to be muted for a second
to cough or sniff, I apologize, but I'm excited. I uh,
I have a lot to say about Skypea. I thoroughly
enjoyed this arc.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, good to here. Other than you being sick,
I hope you get better soon.
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: And we got Jordan back at it again.
Speaker 4: Yellow, what's up everybody? Always happy to.
Speaker 1: Be here, Always good to have you, man. I appreciate
you coming on on such short notice every time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no worries. It's always at this.
Speaker 1: Point like you're just always if you're free on a
Tuesday at sometime that we're doing the podcast, you're always welcome.
Speaker 4: Always always enjoyed to be on. So thank you for
having me.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, okay, So halfway through Skypeia. At this point,
most of the boys are on the island and Nell
is putting together his little Bad Royale. This guy's trying
to play Fortnite over here, How did you feel about
any Ruin? And now now that you have to see
like the rest of him or more of him.
Speaker 2: So I guess misunderstood in the first I guess maybe
it's not misunderstood, but I guess in the second arc
he goes by God but he isn't really actually a god.
You learned that he is a very powerful human being
with a double fruit. I forgot the exact double fruit name,
but it's the one that gives him the lightning powers, the.
Speaker 3: Rumble rumble fruit. Yeah, and he.
Speaker 2: Is basically just like a whole master with it. He's
very very powerful. He's able to shoot down big lightning
beams and kill people. So you kind of learned that
he just a very very powerful guy.
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's the strongest person we've seen so
far or maybe second strongest.
Speaker 5: No, he's definitely the strongest up to this point, villain.
Speaker 1: Strongest villain because Mihawk. I think Mihawk is stronger power
scaling wise, in my head in my head canon, I
think Mihawk could take maybe maybe it's close, though it
might actually be close, you know, cause the neell is
wild like between being a Logo Logo user. His entire
body is made of lightning. That means he can move
at a similar speed to lightning. He could attack and
just smite people from a million miles away with lightning.
He also has mantra and in combinating with his double fruit,
he could like basically hear people from across the Bucket
Island or across like the it's the Sky Island itself,
not even like the endless verth. Oh my God, is
he powerful and he could read people's attacks like he
is very strong. I am a number one and now
Glazer since day one.
Speaker 5: I remember saying last time that, like, if I was
born and raised on Sky Island and I saw that,
I would probably assume it's God too, And I guess
it had Poseidon fooled because a little bit. Yeah he's human,
he's human the God complex. But but yeah, I would
not be able to guess it based on the first
half of the arc.
Speaker 4: Right, so you.
Speaker 1: Already know that this man can spip guaranteed, guaranteed he
could do wrap God easily.
Speaker 2: He's crazy, yeah, he I think up to this point. Yeah,
he does look like.
Speaker 3: He's the most powerful villain. He makes crocodile look like Nahi.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so crocodile was strong and smart, but very like
overly reliant, probably on his double fruit. Vanella is just
strong overall, with probably a stronger fruit. And we just
got really lucky that we had the one guy on
the planet that probably just hard counters him naturally.
Speaker 4: Right, So it's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how did you feel about that? The fact that
like they're just like Lufy's his natural enemy.
Speaker 2: I just thought it was really funny. You get to
see and now I'll get I don't know, I say.
Speaker 3: It now because it's a noll and the TCG, but
he's he gets humbled really quick.
Speaker 2: He tries really hard to electric cute Loofy and Loofy
being rubber and rubber basically not being affected by anything
electricity or lightning wise was really funny because he would
put all his power into.
Speaker 3: Try to try to kill him.
Speaker 2: But Lufy's still just standing there and you get like
the little iconic and now face with his eyes popping in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so good man. Lucy's just biting his lip
and the lightning like you like and now fully commema
at him with lightning, and he's just like, oh you
dodge that attack, and he does it again, and then
look at this buddy his lip. It definitely hit him
uy off. And then you have the now face with
the eyes bulging. It's so good. It is so good man.
Speaker 5: Before that, they're like, he dodged it, Like I can't
believe he dodged I better do it again.
Speaker 4: And now he's like he dodged it, like.
Speaker 1: The dodgem. Okay, I do want to go around and
kind of talk about like our favorite moments. What would
you guys say your favorite moments of the arc are?
Speaker 2: Oh so my favorite episodes from this arc was the
backstory of Calgara.
Speaker 3: And uh Noland uh I.
Speaker 2: Those were the episodes that I was just like really
crying at. I love I just love the backstory because
I definitely thought the first half of Skypeia uh dragged
a little bit, not necessarily dragged, but it might have
been just like a little boring for me because it
was I guess it was just like world building, right,
just kind of seeing you know, what the who the
sky people are, what is like the geography and stuff
like that up there. And then the second arc or
second half is when it starts to pick up and
you get, like I guess, context and information from the
backstory to kind of explain things a little more as
to why or how the Upper Yard came to the
sky and everything like that. So I think my favorite
moment is definitely were those backstories?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that my heart streams a lot.
Speaker 1: Because that backstory is what influenced this entire arc. So
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: The whole reason probably Lufia ended up in the sky
to begin with is because of Cricket and the knock
up stream inspired by Noland, and then Noland with Calgirl
Callgirl was in the sky, and that inspired all the
Shandorians and about their ancestors trying to find and get
their holy land back or their homeland back, I should say.
And it just it all comes together so nicely at
the end. And I do agree with Posidon where like
maybe in like the first half, there's like a certain
episode period where it starts to drag, like obviously it's
a setup, but I do think it like what one
piece anime especially drags on a bit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think this is around the time of the
anime where probably starts to drag more so than uh
than the manga did.
Speaker 4: But you know, it's it's like Beside said, this is uh.
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes geography is everything, but other times history
is everything, right, And whenever one piece goes into an arc,
it doesn't shy away from giving you the entire history
of that island you're on or what's going on there,
context the context of it all.
Speaker 1: So, oh, man, I will say rewatching this. I have
reread and rewatched this arc many, many, many times. This
is probably like my sixth, seventh or eighth time watching it,
and I'm still noticing things this time that I never
noticed before. Oh, how fucking crazy is that? And I
can't get into it? Why, I am sorry for that,
and I can't get into it. I'll try, Oh, I'll
try a mental note for later in the series, but
I want to, like, there's a couple things that are
just like, blew my mind. I'm like, oh my god,
like with in relevance to like recent chapters and stuff
like that, or like not even research like maybe the
last couple hundred chapters. It's wild. It's absolutely wild, and
I think it's a really good arc, especially in retrospect.
Speaker 2: You know. What's so funny because a lot of my
irl friends actually watch One Piece and they're very excited.
Speaker 3: They listen to the episodes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're listening.
Speaker 2: Hi. They a lot of them skipped Skypeia, and that's
actually something I've heard a lot of people.
Speaker 3: They're like, oh, skip Skypeia. You know, it's not it's
not that important.
Speaker 2: And one of my friends was like, no, no, no,
don't skip Skypeia because it's.
Speaker 3: Mattering like right now in the current piece wild, which
is crazy. That to me, that's wild.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh my gosh, that was like nine hundred
episodes for you guys.
Speaker 1: It's it's actually crazy because there's so there's things that
matter right now that are like obvious, like, but there's
also other things that are more like subtle that upon rewatch,
I'm like losing my mind. Like literally today, I'm like,
there's no way that just happened. There's no way they
just said that, Like it's crazy. So I definitely did
not recommend skipping this arc for anyone. If anything watched
like one Pace or something, if you if you need
to or read the manga for this arc and then
come back to the endime, if you feel like you
struggle with it and you're a current One Piece and
who hasn't watched it you are missing out, especially with
the new gears and new chapter releases that are happening
and stuff like that, Like it's relevant. Yeah, but anyway,
let's focus on the arc itself. Funny moments, anything that
you guys want to talk about that you guys found
really really funny.
Speaker 2: I guess one of my favorite one liners was when
Loofy was calling and to root ear Lobes.
Speaker 1: Literally the final attack. You've like, like, I think one
of the final attacks, you're literally calling him ear Lobes,
so like like One Piece will never stop with the gags.
I love it.
Speaker 2: I love it. I really loved the snake, just like
the snake as a character, but I thought it was
also really funny that like Zora was like, why is
the snake so angry? Why is he just so agitated?
And then you just cut to seeing like Loofy inside
the snake just absolutely having the time of his life
in there, and it's it's making the snake very very upset.
So those are like little moments like that one which
make me just love One Piece because I feel like
serious as some of the situations can get, you still
get those like little moments of comedy that just kind of,
I guess, make it still really fun to watch, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that they intertwine the comedy into serious moments,
right like, yeah, you stop dodging a lightning bolt and
then they do like this crazy acrobatic somersault and then
banging his head on the edge of the ship like that.
This little addition is what makes it one piece. I
think a lot of people, a lot of shows, it's
like comedy episode or comedy like moment, and then like
when it gets serious, it's like comedy is no more.
This show is constantly intertwined.
Speaker 5: I love it, right, It's like one of a lot
of my favorite moments from this arc aren't the comedic moments,
But if I had to pick a comedic moment, it
goes with the serious moment of a right before Sanjy's
big sacrifice, which is a huge thing that a lot
of people always flash back to, right like he took
a lightning bolt for Dommia Neu stop to kind of
get away right before that leading up to it and stuff,
you know who stops like like you're not considering sacrifice yourself,
are He's like don't worry for not me. I would
definitely consider sacrificing you, like I would be like brigs,
don't worry for a girl, Poseidon. I would sacrifice you
in a heartbeat.
Speaker 4: A right.
Speaker 1: The best part is stop standing before God, like who
stops standing before God himself? And being like, I mean
a spell on you. It's like it's like a paper
clip rubbed across your knuckles, or a paper a paper cut,
I don't know what it was, or like a splinter
underneath your nails.
Speaker 4: Like only he would have tried the rubber band.
Speaker 1: It's oh man, the rubber band of doom.
Speaker 4: It would have gone hard.
Speaker 1: Don't you wostop hammer? Where's the who?
Speaker 4: Stop paying man?
Speaker 1: Bring him back? Oh man? Any other great moments that
you guys want to talk about, you guys will take
it away.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So so for this arc and stuff, I know, uh,
like the history itself might have been Sideon's spairite part,
but like touching on not a Robin's appreciation for the
history was probably mine, just how defensive she was of
history in and of itself. Her reading the pony glyph,
which is uh or that was up there, and then
us getting to see the reveal of the second weapon.
That was like written on the pony glyph, right, like.
Speaker 1: Tell me about the ponoglyph moment, what's written on it,
what's written described next to it, and stuff like that,
because unfortunately the alarm from the condo went off right
when I want to enjoy that moment again, and it
had been so long.
Speaker 5: Oh, I'll give you guys one guess about who was
on it, but if he wants to go ahead and
talk about it.
Speaker 2: So the thing that stuck out to me the most
was the fact that gold d Roger wrote on the ponoglyph. Right,
he wrote on it, his name was on it, and
they were talking about the significance.
Speaker 3: Of the d in his medal name and Loofy's.
Speaker 2: But you get kind of context of what these ponoglyphs are.
All of them are connected with one another. They like
guide each other to the next, which I think was
when I saw that. When I was watching that part,
I was kind of sitting there like, why are people
skipping this arc?
Speaker 3: I feel like this is such important information to know
to continue watching one piece.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you get a little more I guess context
of what they are because we first the first one
we saw was in Alabasta.
Speaker 3: If I'm not if I'm remembering correctly, right, yeah?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: And do you remember what the what was said on
the ponic left, so you get you got the gold
d Rogers signature, which I believe was even like put
into the stone via like in the language of the
Panic left right or yes, right, which is interesting.
Speaker 4: I was here.
Speaker 2: If I'm remembering correctly, and you're free to correct me,
because again I was. I had a bunch of brain
fog while I was watching this. It was talking about
a weapon right, kind of similar to the one in Alabasta.
Speaker 3: So there's a bunch of just like world destroying.
Speaker 5: What the one the one in Alabasta was named Pluton,
but this one in particular had a name that just
be happy.
Speaker 1: There we go, pided, like you better remember what? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was watching against.
Speaker 5: All this stuff. That doesn't I don't care about any
of the other facts that were dropped on us. That
that was what we want to touch on. We got
our girl in this chapel.
Speaker 1: My goodness.
Speaker 3: Sorry, Yeah, I was besided.
Speaker 2: So there's a weapon somewhere that can destroy things named
society and a ka mes so yeah, I just thought
it was interesting that these things are just like left undiscovered,
They're just laying around.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this one was like a kind of buried or
kept secret by or kept safe by the people that
had lived there prior, and they had it like in
those ruins like underground, right, so prior to us going
there and seeing the bell and everything, like, nobody had
really been to that underground area much.
Speaker 4: Right, It just kind of lost the time.
Speaker 1: Put sidon. Any standout fights for you that you enjoyed watching.
Speaker 2: I really loved the specific moment was I believe it
was Wiper Gonefall Nico, Robbin and Zorro kind of in
the little I guess city area against Enew. I thought
that was a really banger moment, especially also Loofy versus
the final attack Narew because I think they battled like
two three times, right, there was one on the boat
m then. Yeah, so I really liked those moments. And
you also get to see a little bit of NAMMY's
cleverness kind of kicking in this arc, with her trying
to basically be careful with how she I guess, I
don't know, presents herself because you know how he can
read voices, so she tries to like make sure he's
not able to read her. She went along with him
for a little bit and was trying to I guess
use a little waiver to to guide them to find her.
But yeah, I really like also Wipers fights him being
able to He used to see prism Stone to try
to take down.
Speaker 1: An Ls some moments.
Speaker 2: Yea, he should have been dead quite a few times
during this arc, but he just somehow survives all the
dial stuff.
Speaker 3: My thoughts crazy, Yeah, he's just different.
Speaker 1: The supposed to like kill him because ten times stronger
than the impact dial, and he used it three times.
And the moments are always so crazy, like the one
against the Nell where he put it to its like
to his chest or his heart, and he had the
sea prism stone I think in his like in his
like shoes or blades or whatever, so that he was
able to make contact with his body and then he
like literally basically killed Annell and then Annell restarted his
own heart. That's like, that's fucking nuts. Wiper also used
it to blow up the beanstalk so that Loofy couldn't
reach an Nell. And there's a moment where like Wiper
finds out about like the history between like Noland and
Cricket and Loofy and why Lufy's doing it? And Wiper
actually starts crying and I cheered up today as while
watching that, which was great. Yeah, oh looked he slept
up for sure. Robin's fight again. Yeah, I knew you
guys would like it, if you guys want to talk
about it again against the big dude, the big fat,
ugly dude that was.
Speaker 5: Throwing that don't even remember his name, but he was
destroying the ruins, right, and she was like, she was like,
how dare you Like history always repeats, but we can't
go back to the past, right, we got to cherish
these monuments and stuff that, uh, that are from it.
And you know, the way she made him pay is
just creative, Like she blinded him at times. She took
the dials that he was using to bounce around, looked
him inside out like on his little sash and uh,
and then threw him against a tree to where like
those impacts hit him there and I'm like, that is
just brutal, Like I don't remember it being that brutal, if.
Speaker 4: I'm being honest.
Speaker 5: And then then after that, she put him in a
choke hold and threw him off a cliff, like, yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Was fucking crazy. So normally Robert could just snap people's necks,
but this guy is like really physically strong, so she
couldn't just do that. His neck was like thicker than
the bell itself. But she, Oh, I do love this one.
Like you get to see like her strategize and like
her user fruit like smartly catching him, throwing him into
a tree, throwing him off the cliff, and like snapping
his back and like holding his like arms and legs
so he couldn't like protect himself and like you said,
blinding him and using the the whatever the dials against himself.
It was just it was great. It was such a
good fight.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's like, please forgive me for for doing that,
and she's like no, and then just I don't know,
our girls told blooded, so you'd love to see.
Speaker 2: It, no mercy.
Speaker 1: Did you guys enjoy Chopper's fight with the Chopper?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I was.
Speaker 2: I was thinking to myself, I'm like Chopper went through
it a lot during this first half of the arc.
So Chopper doing his best to try to put up
a fight, but then kind of ultimately just kind of
fainting for a while, and just like you don't have Chopper,
you need a rest.
Speaker 1: Once he fought the iron guy like he was he
got wracked, but he had a good fight against the
spider hair dude I am so bad with I'm so sorry,
and he win that fight. He did win that fight.
Mm hmm, let's sit it go ahead, Jordan.
Speaker 5: I think one thing that's kind of slept on, Like
the Choppers fight's great, and some of those other fights
are great, but Nammy going head to head with an
elf for just a bit, like he's obviously like, yeah,
I can turn up the ampage and you won't be
able to do that, but like for a little bit,
she's holding time by like doing stuff with the weather
and being creative with how how that works, right, So
I don't know na me doing that. And then also
the old the triplets that attacked the ship, like she
was holding her own against them and put the dial
right on the dude's face off the gauntlet that that
she got. I don't know if you guys remember that,
but I forgot how many good moments Nami has like
in this art, I'm just kind of holding her own.
Speaker 1: But I will say especially early one piece. That's one
thing I like. I feel like everyone gets a moment
to shine for the most part, like obviously Sloping Sanji
maybe not as much this arc. Like SONDREI had his
his like nothing happened moment in a way where he
blocked the light and saved with up and noa me
and like said thanks for the light and fucked up
the ship as well, delaying anel and giving Loofy time
and stuff like that. But for the most part, like no,
we got some time, the shine robbing got sometimes. The
Shine Chopper had his first solo one v one fight ever,
like it was. It was just I think it's a
great arc. I think it's slept on honestly.
Speaker 2: Mm hm oh yeah, I love I really loved Skypeia,
like I would put it, I guess by Alabaster, like
ala Usa is probably still my favorite arc up to
this point. That's fair, well, I would, I would put
Skypea up there. I feel like the Lord Drop and
everything that was kind of just that happened during this
arc is gonna matter so much and I I just
really appreciated it.
Speaker 4: I guess hell yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I think be talking about this in a
year and a half.
Speaker 5: It's like Alabasta had a lot building up to it
that I think people uh like appreciated that kind of
divided into sections for him. But Skypia is so much
and it's just all kind of its own thing.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 5: There's Gyre right before it, but there's not a lot
of build ups. So I think that's usually where a
lot of the criticism would come from. Is uh, this
is just kind of a lot all at once, but
it is good.
Speaker 4: I like this art.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think what we definitely haven't talked about everything. Obviously,
there's the moment where Loofy finally rings the bell. If
you guys want to talk about that Poseidon.
Speaker 3: Oh the bell God.
Speaker 2: That thought was so emotional because you know, Cricket spent
all this time trying to look for the the gold
that he thought was at the bottom of the ocean,
and I ringing that bell was basically just like his
signal of like, hey, I found what you're looking for, and.
Speaker 3: It's not down there, it's up there.
Speaker 1: The bell is real, the citys thatll is real.
Speaker 3: It does exist.
Speaker 2: Noland was not a liar like everybody said he was,
so I think it's just like having that relief for
you know, his I guess predecessors. It was very emotional
like that moment man like, oh it's so good.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 5: Speaking of funny moments kind of related to the bell.
One of the things I've always remembered about this arc
and whatnot and I still love to this day is
they were obviously like, we can't give you the bell,
but this giant column of gold that holds it up, like,
you know, you saved our lives, you saved the sky island.
You guys can have this like they were, they were willing.
Speaker 4: To give that away.
Speaker 5: They're talking to Robin about it, but Loofy's a pirate, right,
He's like, guys, wake up'll be quiet.
Speaker 4: We're stealing all the gold. And he like took all
the little gold escape with it.
Speaker 5: And she's like, they're like, Robin, come on, we got
to get out of here. We got to steal the gold.
Everyone's like, you do not want this. She's like no,
they said the apparently they don't want it, and she
just runs off, but she.
Speaker 3: Just lets it happen.
Speaker 5: I love that they're just stealing all these like little
it's a it's a small fortune, but like they could
have gone giant column of golden. They were just like
they didn't even know. They were too busy trying to
be pirates.
Speaker 1: Right, was that the gold that was in the snake's stomach?
Speaker 3: Yes, I think they were inside so Zoro.
Speaker 2: I think it was Zoro and Shopper that were outside
and they were like outside the snake and the rest
of them were in there looting.
Speaker 1: That is so funny. I do want to talk more
about Loofy versus and now there's a lot of like
little moments within the fight that I really like. I
don't if there's anything you guys want to touch upon
first within that fight.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean one thing is Annelle asks Loofy are
sharp objects your weakness? And Lufy just goes yes, like
over that.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so funny this series, Like I was like
he could read my mind? What if I stopped What
if I stopped thinking? And then we saw ultra instinct
in action. But the problem is if he stops thinking,
you can't throw attacks.
Speaker 2: If you he isn't thinking about his attacks, and it's
just kind of wobbling around with no plan, you know,
and now can't really predict what he's gonna do.
Speaker 5: That's one of the fun things about Loofy though, is
he's dumb in a lot of ways, but he is
creative if nothing else, Like we see that all throughout
the series, like usually backfires, like him almost drowning himself
at our own park and things like that, but like
you know, he's creative with the way he comes up
with solutions, right, Yes.
Speaker 1: Speaking of creativity, he octopus mode. Do you remember the
octopus mode or you brain fogg for that? A little
bit of not her fault. She she has like a
side of the affection. She's sick.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like two panels.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a funny twos.
Speaker 4: He didn't miss much.
Speaker 1: He didn't miss much. But I will say the octopus
mode is how he ends up landing attacks on a
Nelt early on in the fight, like he so he
like the octopus mode and started punching the the arc
maxim the ship in the air and he's the fighting
his arms off the gold because he's really able to
like and I was able to read his attacks. But
if they're all deflections and just chaotic and.
Speaker 2: Critics, that's right, Yeah, yeah, he was hitting it right
directly on, so it's just bouncing off, right, I remember that.
Speaker 3: I remember that. I don't think I remembered it as
Octopus mode but.
Speaker 4: Right before that.
Speaker 1: But I didn't piece the two together either, and it
just it just Yeah, I love the mix of comedy.
But also, like, I know, Loufy's a fucking idiot at times,
but he's actually very smart in battle, so it's not
like it's not undercut him there, because the different things
that he attempts and tries against the knell is what
actually allows him to win. Right mm hmm.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm still I'm still so proud of our boy too,
for finally trying to do something parody, like I know, sorry,
I know already touched on that. I'm just I'm just proud,
you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I had to re mention the song, like
I I like the Saundry moment you mentioned it. I
kind of like didn't didn't give it the pro opt
is every going. I need to re remagine that count moment.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mentioned it because it kind of goes hand
in hand with that funny moment leading up to it,
He's like, don't worry, I'd sacrifice you. But then right
after that he has the most epic sacrificing himself moment, like.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you know what, you know, it's a
hilarious moment that we forgot about. Soora's lost as hell
and he's trying to He's trying to go self. Meanwhile,
there's a self bird next to him, pointing south, and
he keeps on going the opposite way, and he ends
up back at the altar and then eventually the bird
just like flies off, and he holds onto it and
he finally ends up self and then the bird's like,
oh shit, I don't want to get eaten by a snake.
I guess I'll drop him here, and he just ends
up where he needs to be. That's so one piece.
I love it.
Speaker 4: The zorro lost moments are always underrated. Those are so fun.
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree, chat chat anything else, Precidon, anything
else we want to talk about, remind me please.
Speaker 2: I think we havevered pretty much like all the major stuff.
Speaker 5: I think there's one thing related to the history that
we haven't touched on exactly, but I think it's good
to keep in mind for going forward. Is when Robin's
thinking about it, she mentions, like what year the uh
the island disappeared and like went into the sky and whatnot,
and she says it falls right into that one hundred
years of history that's just missing, right. So yeah, I
think this is like the first time. It's okay, maybe
it's brought up before this, I don't know, but it
mentions like there's like a one hundred year gap in
history where nobody knows what happened.
Speaker 4: Right, So.
Speaker 5: The and the end of that island whenever it disappeared,
just kind of happens to fall into that that timespan.
Speaker 1: That's good. It's definitely important to note anything else chat
trying to remember here. Oh shit, there was there was
something I wanted to mention. I forgot. God damn it.
Maybe it'll come Maybe it'll come back to me. I
think it had to do with history as well. I
don't want to spoil anything, you know. The giant stuff
was four hundred years ago. The giant with four hundred
years ago, but there was something of maybe the there
was something about that fell into the hundred years and
that was okay. I don't, I don't. I don't want
to spoil anything. I don't want to. I don't want
to say anything. Okay, got the next arc. The next
arc is a filler arc, is not that many chapters
or episodes. I think we just do it all at once,
and we have to do it. It's my favorite filler arc.
Speaker 3: Oh, I've heard that this filler ARC's really good. I've
heard great things.
Speaker 4: One of the best piller arcs that ever was Piller Arc.
You love to see it.
Speaker 1: The city of Sandora was thriving one thou one hundred
years ago and then it fell eight hundred years ago.
Speaker 4: Interesting, Yeah, that maybe that was the quote.
Speaker 5: I think eight hundred years ago or something like that
was She was like that, you know that coincides with you.
Speaker 4: We don't know what happened in that century.
Speaker 1: Right, Like all right, so it's only eleven episodes. The
next arc is only eleven episodes. Well, we'll do that
eight two weeks from now, and then after that we're
getting back into the cannon into another arc that I like,
think Rivals Alabasta or saga that I think Rivals Alabasta afterwards,
which is which is great?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 3: Water seven?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So yeah, all my friends are so excited for me
to watch Water seven because, like one of my friends
was telling me if one piece ended at Water seven,
it still would have been a really fucking good show. So,
I mean, if you're saying that this arc has to be.
Speaker 1: I forgot about long Ring long Land. Never mind, we're
after after after G eight, we have long Ring long Land,
which we are going to cover because I actually think
it's hilarious. Unfortunately, there's a lot of filler and it's
annoying as fuck, but it is canon. So we are
gonna watch Longering long Land. But Sudden needs to experience everything,
and yeah, we'll get to water seven, but yeah, next
or two week from now, we would do G eight. Guys,
I don't want to miss anything for Skypea and he.
I feel like I'm forgetting something. I feel like I'm
forgetting There's the only thing that like while I was
watching him, like I got to help a set in this,
I got to ask her about this, and then the
podcast starts and I'm like, uh, I can't remember.
Speaker 5: I mean, there's definitely a lot that happens, you know,
in a hole happen arc and Monkey, So sure there's
stuff for like we haven't really talked about, uh, like
the Citizens of the Sky and how everything's being smited
around them because he's literally destroying.
Speaker 4: The whole the whole island and things like that.
Speaker 1: The like, yeah, I thought that's the thing, and that
was just petty. Like dude, his goal, his goal is
to go to the to the moon, right, he wants
to go to the Endless Verse aka the Moon and
m hm, he could just leave. He doesn't need to
destroy everything, Like his goal has nothing to do with
destroying everyone else. And he's just a petty fucking troll.
And I think he's so funny. Like Lukey's trying to
get onto his ship and rather than like blasting him
or hitting him or punching him or trying to like
down and kill him, he'll just like flick his hand off,
like play with play with his food, and like it
just actually like hilarious, Like his little things were making
me die. But yeah, when you actually think about it,
he's like it's one of the most this is unnatural.
And he's just an ego fucking.
Speaker 5: Asshole absorbed Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Crazy, You know what, there was something I was not
I guess.
Speaker 2: Oh you know what question has been lingering with me
that I still haven't had answered.
Speaker 3: Who fixed the ship?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Who knows who fixed because like if somebody if the
answer was said already, I don't.
Speaker 4: Remember, but it has I'm sure.
Speaker 5: I'm sure we'll find out two hundred chapters from now,
based on where we are currently piece, it's probably somewhere
in the future twenty twenty nine, we're getting that answer,
don't you worry there.
Speaker 2: I remember with like the ship, the person looked over
at oosop had a really big smile. You only see
there's smile, and then usap runs away and find out
who it was.
Speaker 1: So I go ahead, you're theorizing.
Speaker 2: Well, he's like, was it one of those like sky
soldiers that were serving a knell who built his ship?
Speaker 3: Or I don't know who it is, But.
Speaker 1: How would they know what the original Mary looked like,
the going Mary exactly with a certain way on the
blue blue sea, and they turned it into a fucking
rooster with wings and like that little like whatever to
go up to the sky. So like only the straw
hats should know what it looks like.
Speaker 2: But it was somebody, I don't you will find out.
Speaker 1: I'll find out. Just keep thinking about it, okay.
Speaker 2: I was like, that was like the whole I was
hoping to find the answer by the argument when it finished,
and nothing was said about it.
Speaker 4: I'm like what one he says, A big I'm giving
answers right away. It cook.
Speaker 1: You gotta let them cook. Also, and Nell is one
of the first villains and one of the few and
only villains that, like so Loofy usually doesn't kill his opponents.
He just like stomps their dreams and like he stops
them from like achieving their dreams and their villainous goals.
And then Loofy continues forward to try to find the
one piece, continuing on his ambition towards his ambitions and
kind of like stomping down the ambitions of his like
rivals rather than killing them. It's kind of the oldest
way of doing it. But Annell actually achieves his dream
of going to the endless Verse and the Moon at
the end of the at the end of the arc,
so it just maybe another thing to take note of,
why why why does he have to go to there?
Speaker 2: Interesting?
Speaker 1: You know what I also hate in the manga they
show like event the Adventures on the Moon a little bit,
and in the anime they never show that.
Speaker 5: There's so many little things in the manga as far
as like the uh the first page of like every
chapter is like an illustration that like has something to
do with like what's kind of going on in the world.
Speaker 4: So, for like the.
Speaker 5: Skypea arc, like the first half is like a lot
of stuff of like wopples up to right from Drum Island,
and then like the second half it's like here's Ace
like as he chases down, and it's like little things
like he's like eating a buffet meant for marines or
something like that, right, Like just silly little things. But
like all these illustrations, they always like kind of just
keep in the back of your head how big the
world is, and like there's stuff going on over here
and over here.
Speaker 4: So it's not always touched on, but.
Speaker 5: There's even gonna be fun going on on the moon
exactly right, how big the world is.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna like streamshot all the things along the way,
the ones I think are really important and try to
send them to Besidon because like I hate that something
aren't included in the anime. From the cover arts, Yeah,
that's that's good, valid ballad. Anyway, I think that's about it.
Next week we're gonna cover G eight Putseidon. Any final
thoughts on the arc, any predictions for the future.
Speaker 2: I'll be really honest, there's I don't know what's coming next.
Speaker 3: I feel like we have.
Speaker 2: A lot of information of like you know, the world
building and stuff, but I feel like one piece at
this point in time just can go any anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, Like you think you're going somewhere and then
out of nowhere you're in the sky.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the fun of it. You don't focus too
much on the end destination, just focused on the journey.
And you know, every every places its own little adventures exactly.
Speaker 1: But I didn't thank you so much for going through
this with us. Once again, Jordan, thank you for joining us.
Speaker 4: Of course, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you gamers chat. I hope you guys enjoyed
And just like that, I'll see you all next time,
Space Cowboys later.
Speaker 3: Bye bye man
