Speaker 1: What is up? Gemers?
Speaker 4: I am?
Speaker 1: It is a bit early today, so I'm still waking up.
Waking up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And since we're talking about the one piece live action,
we had to bring in Teking one oh one.
Speaker 2: How's it going? Bro?
Speaker 5: How you doing? Briggs? If I had a hat, I'd
be tipping it to you right now.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I'm excited to talk about the live action today.
It's a really good season two. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I love that I put on I went and changed
the put on a one piece shirt and it's just
not even in frame. You guys could see Rogers hair.
You guys will just see Rogers hair.
Speaker 5: See Yeah, I could see Rogers epic hair. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I love this shirt. It's like my favorite shirt.
Speaker 5: I like how it's classic Roger two, back when Oda
intended the mustache to be his nosehairs.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Anyway, So today we're talking about the one Piece Live
Action Season two and we're kind we're kind of gonna
go through it episode by episode for the most part,
give our general thoughts, talk about some fun little Easter eggs.
Obviously Proseidon's not caught up by the same time. Well,
we'll try to not spoil for the most part, Like.
Speaker 5: Where where have you? Where are you at currently with it?
Speaker 4: I I am like twelve episodes away from finishing Punk Hazard.
Speaker 5: Oh so you're yeah, you're all caught up to you
know what happens? I mean like stuff beyond that. Maybe
there's a couple of things that get dropped, but we'll like.
Speaker 3: She doesn't know who Bartolomeo is really, but at the
same time, she plays the card game.
Speaker 2: So she does.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the card game just spoils everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 4: It's like, I know the in like two sets, we're
getting l Bath, which is a whole set just based
on that arc. And I was talking with my friends
yesterday because I went to One Piece.
Speaker 1: Locals last night.
Speaker 4: Oh, and they were like, cy, you need to you
need to get caught up by the time Op seventeen
drops because it's l Bath And I'm like, crap.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know about that card game as like
an insteative, like hey, you better get caught better watch
the anime, read the moment. Yeah, by the subscription, because
the card games coming out, you're going to be completely spoiled.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because the next two sets here in the West.
The next one is Skypeia, and then the one after
is Marine Ford and then we get Elbach after.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, there's a lot of characters both of those,
so that'll be Oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just watched six hundred episodes, last chapters in a month,
No big deal.
Speaker 5: I know some people that were able to do it,
and it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, me too.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I know people that could caught up with
the whole series in weeks and that blows my mind.
Speaker 3: But you don't want You should be proud of yourself.
You've watched, like, what half of the series you've gotten?
You've got in a good un You've.
Speaker 5: Got over half. You're pretty al right.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah yeah, And it's not like it's not like
that you started that long ago.
Speaker 2: I don't know how long it's been, but I think
a year and a half ago.
Speaker 5: It's not bad. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.
Speaker 3: Anyway, let's jump into episode one of the one piece
live action. They start off by going to Logtown.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's like.
Speaker 2: The beginning and the end or something called.
Speaker 5: Yes because prologue, epilogue, Logtown, yep.
Speaker 3: I learned something new every day when I talk to technic. Oh,
I just figured like it's like the last island before
the grand line. So it's the beginning and the end
because they're all gonna die.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's epilogue and prologue. But what's interesting is
they changed it in The Four Kids Stubb to rogue Town,
which also kind of works because like Roger was a rogue.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 5: So I love this arc. This arc is so like
near and dear to me. It's probably one of my
favorite East Blue arcs.
Speaker 2: So yeah, was it one of those like Rafttail, Laftail,
log Town.
Speaker 5: Because Hell's and ours the way they're pronounced in Japanese
to English, they can kind of go either way. So yeah,
that's why they did it.
Speaker 2: Got it? Does anyone have any genuine thoughts on the
first episode?
Speaker 5: I thought it was very strong, Oh, very strong opener
for me?
Speaker 4: Yeah, very very strong, I think, how do I say this?
I really liked how they made it feel more colorful.
I guess in the they did a really good job at.
I think this season just overall, I think they remember
that one piece is kind of silly, kind of funny,
and they definitely showed it this season. And I think
the Logtown episode was a really good example of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you may go ahead.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, just coming off of like because I watched
all of season one before I did season two, and
the last two episodes of season one were kind of
more muted colors because it's like Nami's home village and
everything's kind of like destitute and it's not very fun
there because Arlong took over, and then moving to this
and it's like, yes, it's very colorful. And also the
idea that like they were going to do Logtown at
the end of season one, they had to move it
because the episode count. I think it's actually a good
thing that they did that, because now you get to
really introduce like Smoker and all these like strong characters
and stuff, and it's like, oh, this is a really
strong way to kick it off, and then Buggy comes
back too, and then that's also a tie into season one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I think it was a strong start.
It was pretty colorful.
Speaker 3: We got introduced to some cool characters like smoker who
looks like an absolute chad.
Speaker 5: I was one talent was an amazing job playing him. Yeah,
he understood the assignment.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 3: I hear him on a podcast with his voice. I'm like, yeah,
you're you're a smoker.
Speaker 5: He's a smoker. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Because I was a.
Speaker 3: Little worried, I'm like, you got a guy with like
a weird outfit, smoke powers, and two cigars in his mouth.
Speaker 2: I'm like, how are they going to pull this off?
Speaker 3: And because it's like you want someone to look badass,
not silly, Like it's okay for one Piece to be
silly at times, for sure, but you still want Smoker
to be badass because he is badass.
Speaker 2: And they pulled it off.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I love the Uh. There was an interview with him
where he was just talking about like his role and
he was just like, you know, he didn't read one
piece I think before that, but he did for the
role and he's just like, man, he's badass. He smokes
two cigars, he has a big bike he rides around
on and I'm just like, yeah, that's that's his character. Man,
Yeah you got it. He's smoker. Yeah.
Speaker 3: We did see other characters like Dragon, in this episode,
which is so I think we've been theorizing about his
powers forever Teching, right, Like we've always like what does
Dragon actually do? And I feel like in the live
action they kind of showed it more.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they they definitely did, where it's just like a
gust of wind that blew them both away. And I mean, honestly,
you could look at Dragon's powers being any of the
like paramesee, a Loggia zone. It could be either of those, honestly,
because of just like he could have a mythical zone,
or he could have a logi to control the weather
or wind, or he can have Paramesee that controls storms.
Here it's just clearly wind is the thing they focused on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I do think we've I've heard everything over
the years. Over the years, I've heard he's got the
destiny destiny, know me, He's got the.
Speaker 2: Weather fruit, the.
Speaker 3: Storm fruit, the wind fruit, this and that, and it's
it's because it was it was shown briefly in the
anime and the manga, but like not really.
Speaker 5: It's always in vary. There's people that even aren't like
completely sold that it was the lightning bolt that saved
Loofy was Dragon. I'm pretty sure it was. That was
the way that Oda wanted to depict it. Yeah, but
like other people are like, that might have just been
Loofy's blind Look, it might not have anything to do
with Dragon, And I'm like.
Speaker 2: And Nell could have been taking a ship, you know what.
Speaker 3: It could have just genuinely been fate and destiny that
Oda was trying to show off there.
Speaker 2: I think it's part of his devil fruit obviously.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I definitely think it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Actually that's a that's a good point Poseidon being
like a little bit newer into one piece. Did you
think there was a connection between the lightning bolt and Dragon?
Speaker 1: I I didn't.
Speaker 4: I kind of I thought maybe he was the one
who caused the storm.
Speaker 5: But I didn't.
Speaker 1: I haven't really honestly thought too much about it.
Speaker 3: You're fine, Yeah, we've been talking about this for fucking years, decades,
a long time ago, and I do think that, like
it was very obviously a wind part of his fruit
that was used in that scene. And since Oda greenlit
this script, it's like, Okay, that's like confirmed now because
we never really knew.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's in the manga. He kind of just
like grabs Smoker's staff and then it like a big
gust of wind shows up. But it doesn't do the
same thing that it does with Smoker and Dragon here
in this scene. Yeah, it's so much more like it's
burst of wind like blows Smoker.
Speaker 3: They both get blown away. It's like, obviously this was
a power versus before. It's just like when he showed up,
the wind was windy.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, dragons showing up that. They did a
good job with that scene. Yeah, what else?
Speaker 2: What else? What else? We have Buggy in this one?
Buggy and Alvi.
Speaker 1: Love the Judge scene.
Speaker 5: That was so stupid, but I loved it, Like you
could see what you could see Buggy doing. That is
what I liked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love what they've done with Buggy's character because
they've definitely changed his character a little bit and he's
doing things that he's never done, but it does seem
like reasonable that he would do it, but they turned
them into this over the top hilarious character and the
acting he's like I think Buggy's actor is like the
best actor in the series.
Speaker 5: He's just such a great job.
Speaker 3: He carries every scene that he's in, every scene that
Buggy is in Buggy is him?
Speaker 5: Yep. He he literally builds it up as like a
guy that loves just like the presentation of being like
he owns the fact that he is a clown pion,
and he's like, all right, let's kidnap a bunch of
people of the town and grab Loofy and put on
a mock trial to like sentence him to death and
then let's go kill him. Like you don't need to
do that. That's wasting time. But it's for the show.
It's for the showmanship of it all, you know.
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, so you love precided, you love that
that whole like judge lawyer like courtroom scene.
Speaker 5: I just thought it was so silly, you know, it
is silly, but that's Buggy.
Speaker 1: It is just Buggy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was laughing so hard.
Speaker 3: What what were your thoughts on Bartolomeo showing up?
Speaker 2: Obviously you don't know him.
Speaker 3: Right with green hair, Well, like when you saw him,
did you like him?
Speaker 1: He's cool?
Speaker 4: He seems I don't know, he's when you look at him,
you kind of I feel like you kind of see
like a silly not a sii like you would think
he's maybe like a bad guy.
Speaker 1: He's a thief, you know, criminal, but I.
Speaker 4: Think you kind of also got to see he's kind
of a little bit of a softy too.
Speaker 5: Yeah. He gives the impression to me of like a guy,
like the edgy kid that always plays with like the
butterfly knives at the county Fair and just like, oh yeah,
that's yeah, I'm gonna go out there. I'm gonna be
like the criminal and stuff. And then he tries to
rob nomy and no, he's like, okay, listen, let me
give you some advice because you're not doing you gotta
you gotta get better at this if you're gonna be
doing this kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: Especially this is this is Bartolomeo at the start of
his journey, right, a little boy.
Speaker 2: He's just a little boy that's trying to be bad.
Speaker 3: Like he's like, I'm gonna die my hair, I'm gonna
wear this outfit, I'm gonna try to steal from someone.
Speaker 5: It's like, you know, he he like pickpocketed like two people,
and now he thinks he's like the crime boss of
the entire like town or something like.
Speaker 3: Like he at the start of his journey, much like
Loofy and if anything, he's like, he's just a rookie
and it's just funny, like I've I never got to
experience this, So these little additions, I just eat it up.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 5: But he is canonically there. That was something that was
added later. Yeah, yeah, so it was explained in when
you meet him that like, oh, this is where he was,
but we don't. This is one of the things in hindsight,
like if Odo were to go back and redo Logtown now,
like just redraw the entire arc, he would have probably
included Barlomeo in the background, because that is what he
said later.
Speaker 3: Because they so they do end up doing Okay, a
little bit of a spoiler, sorry, yeah, just just to
explain the context of why he's there and he wasn't
there in the anime. When we do get to meet him,
we get to see Bartow's like backstory and they show
that like he got to see Loofy about to be executed.
He was there in the crowd of people, Okay, right,
He was just one of the one of the bystanders
that saw Lufy about to be executed, and it kind
of changed his path and who he is a little bit.
It influenced him to a certain degree, and basically they're like, okay,
so this turns into a more prominent case aracter later on,
and he was there, we might as well use him,
and Oda probably like going back, would want to use him.
Speaker 5: And it's crazy because, like I thought it first just
from seeing because there was some images that were shown
before the series dropped, like he's there, and I thought
he was just gonna be used as like an extra,
like you see him in two scenes, and then he's
there to witness Loofy's execution and like, oh, that's cool.
They put him in there. No, he's like a main
character in the episode. He has scenes with Nami and
and Loofy and everything, and I'm like, okay, they went
the whole nine yards with that.
Speaker 2: I love it. Yeap? What else? What else? What else happened?
Speaker 5: Well we could talk about.
Speaker 1: One is Tavo.
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you want to talk about Savo?
Speaker 2: I do you want to talk about Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 1: I was shocked.
Speaker 4: I remember when I was watching when that little short
scene where Dragon's on back on the ship and you
see him turn around and Savos in the back.
Speaker 1: I remember I had to pause, Yeah the.
Speaker 4: TV and I like walked up to my TV because
I was like, am I hallucinating?
Speaker 5: Is that is that? Yeah?
Speaker 4: So I'm wondering why they chose to to reveal him
so early.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's just for the fans, Like everybody that doesn't
under he doesn't have any lines, he doesn't do anything.
He just walks out and people are probably looking at
him and just being like, who the who's that guy
with the weird top hat, versus like, oh my god,
is that they did that thing?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I screamed at the top of my lungs like a
little girl when I saw Saba straight up screamed. Does
it really add that much value? Like I think Bartow
adds a lot of value because you get to see
why he becomes the boy sen.
Speaker 5: For him to be there, Yeah, yeah, yea was just
there because.
Speaker 2: Easter Egg two seconds on screen.
Speaker 5: It's two seconds on screen in the background.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like up until this point in live action,
you don't even have a backstory with Loofy, and.
Speaker 5: So you have absolutely you have no who that is.
You have no clue.
Speaker 3: Who that is unless you're a fan of the anime
and manga. And I do think that like they're never
going to adapt the entire story, so it's like, oh, yeah,
give the people some savo now, because they're never getting there.
Speaker 5: From what I heard, Yeah, Oda does have a plan
on where he would like it to end, and I
think it was greenlit for twelve seasons, but I don't
know if that's legit or not. It's just something I
saw on social media. So, like, you know, I I
would think marine Ford would be a good place to stop.
I mean, I twelve wouldn't be a bad idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think I would be happy as long
as they get.
Speaker 5: To the sixth Okay that makes more sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I was can say I would be super
happy if they get to the end of End's Lobby.
If they could do en A's Lobby, I'm happy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they think they could get there. I think they
could get to the end of Eddy's Lobby, no problem.
I think that's gonna be okay.
Speaker 2: But marine Ford would be perfect.
Speaker 3: Or if how fucking crazy would they end they end
it with like Kuma bopping everyone away?
Speaker 2: Yeah, with Sabadi and it ends there.
Speaker 5: It's just going to be completely up to the viewership.
You know, if they make it to you know, Any's
Lobby and people are still watching in the and the
ratings are still good, then they probably go to Marine Ford,
and if the ratings are still really good, then they'll
move on to this. I doubt they're going to adapt
the entire story though.
Speaker 3: I mean it was number one in the world on
Netflix when it came out.
Speaker 5: Season two's doing really good, so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always a big test because season one of
a big series like this, we know it's gonna pop off, right,
but for season two to also pop off the way
it did, I think that's an amazing sign.
Speaker 5: I think if it ended in Alabasta, I would be
okay with it. But I'm pretty sure they're already like
kind of doing stuff for season four already, so film
right now.
Speaker 3: I'm scared what they're gonna skip because obviously they skipped
like Baratier not the end of the World.
Speaker 2: I love that arc.
Speaker 5: It's like I told it didn't it's there.
Speaker 2: I lie that they skipped the whole like don kreeg
Loofy fight, Like.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they skipped, they skipped that part. He's still there,
but they skipped like Brotti happened.
Speaker 3: It was just where like he meets our along there
for the first time, So they changed that around.
Speaker 2: They changed that around. We still kind of got it.
Speaker 3: I just hope they don't skip anything like Huge on
the Way, Tennis LOBBYA, a Marine.
Speaker 5: Force, Yeah, a lot of I get it. Yeah, there's
a lot of it. But I think they're gonna tackle
pretty much all of the Majors story arcs, because even
with at the beginning of this episode, it was funny
where Nami was like, and you thought we were going
to skip log Town. I'm like, ah, yeah, it's like
I think in a lot of other live actions they
just would because it's like, it's not that important we
to skip it whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we we we can't handle that. Like if they
skip Skypa, I'm done, I'm leaving.
Speaker 5: No, they would never skip sky you know.
Speaker 2: What it is though it's not that important pre time skip.
It's not like that later on, but its yeah, importance
later on.
Speaker 3: So it's like, if they don't plan on doing post
time skip live action, they could easily skip it, but
I would cry.
Speaker 5: They probably could, And also it would be difficult because
you'd have to do a completely different kind of set
for that. Yeah, up in the sky it'd be tricky,
but you could do it.
Speaker 2: It's so different and they also have to send send
the ship flying.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they could do c g I knock upstream
with like a bunch of cables. That'd be wacky. They
did say that, Yeah, there's no hatch On the fish Man,
so Owen, Yeah, Matt Owen's in an interview actually address
this and he's like, well, we could always incorporate him
in Sabba Odi later. So it's not like, because if
you read Our Long Park, he's pretty much just a
minion of our along there. There's not really a lot
of scenes with him in particular that's like, oh, hatch
On is gonna be relevant later. He's just yeah, you know,
he's just there under our law.
Speaker 3: I think it's the same concept. It's like in Our
Long Park. It's not the biggest deal. Like, obviously I
liked him, but it has implications for Saba Odi and
Fishman Island, right exactly. But if they don't plan on
doing Saba Odie and fish An Island, there's no implications.
Speaker 5: So you're fine. I mean, like they don't know. The
most honest answer is Netflix could always just be like, yeah,
we Green you, let Green let you for this many seasons,
but the viewerships down you're done after season. Yeah, you know,
it could always be because that's how businesses work all
the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, overall, I think the first episode was
pretty good. I don't know, we probably skipped a lot
of stuff, but otherwise we'll be here for it was the.
Speaker 5: Scene I want to talk about, the scene in the
sword shop with Epon. Oh, that's one of my favorite
scenes of the day an manga and I just love Yeah,
the guy with the swords. Like they nailed that scene perfect.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, cool scene. They changed the like let's test my
luck to let's let's test my will.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they just did little things like that. But like
I think they did all right. And in the manga,
I think Zoro noticed right away when he touched it
it was a cursed sword. In this one, he's like
what is this And he's the one that told him.
So little things like that I noticed because I'm a nerd,
But the overall scene.
Speaker 3: I noticed that too. I'm like, in the first one,
he's like going through the barrel touching all the swords.
He touches one and just off the feel he.
Speaker 5: Like, nos, yeah right, he knows right away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, we noticed all these little minute details.
Speaker 4: I sorry, I was gonna mention that we did also
get the reveal that gold Roger has a son.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was they. That was not until much later.
They later that was in Marine Ford they revealed that.
Speaker 2: I like that it's mentioned.
Speaker 3: I think it's important that it's mentioned if they're building
up to like Marine Ford. I think it's a good change.
Although the conversation between Roger and Garb felt like a
different vibe. I don't know how to phrase it.
Speaker 2: It just felt different.
Speaker 5: So, yeah, it's definitely more jokey than in the manga.
It's more serious in the manga. It takes place in
Impel down in the manga. Here they're like, hey, I
remember all those good times we had, and Garp's like, yeah,
beating the piss out of you all up and down
the Grand Line. I remember that. Yeah, they they kind of,
but they are kind of like old drinking buddies kind
of things, so I kind of I get it, sort of. Yeah.
What's really funny about that scene though, is that for
those of like the same thing with Sabo, Like the
people that don't watch the manga aren't gonna be able
to understand the they talk about Roger having a son,
and then the immediate next scene is Loofy on top
of the marry, so people are gonna watch it like,
is Loofy Roger's son. I'm like, I see what they're
down there, they're setting that up. Yeah, as a as
a misterrect.
Speaker 3: I didn't even think about that. And it's also the
same thing kind of happens with Impel down and Ivankov
thinking yep, yeah, because I didn't see this.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, yeah, I I've got it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, thinks Loofy and Ace are both like
Dragon's kids, and like the inverse now they're like, oh,
Loofy could be the son of Goldie Roger, like like.
Speaker 5: It was a theory for a while because it's it's
a very manga trope, you know, like the main character
is actually the son of the really badass character from
the history books and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Instead we have Dragon who's done nothing but look East.
Speaker 5: Bro, He's good at that. He's the professional looking East. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest. Sorry, it's a little bit of
a tangent. I'm just starting to get annoyed with Shanks
and Dragon. I'm like, it's it's been hitting me for
a while now, and it's just like, give me fucking something.
Speaker 5: I know. It's like the thing is also like there's
the story that's actually happening, and then there's when we
get it because you know, we have to wait for
manga to come out. The chapters are in delay, and
it's like he'll get to that point when it gets
to that point, but like, yeah, sorry.
Speaker 3: Apparently he did stuff in the manga recently. No spoilers.
Speaker 2: I am like.
Speaker 5: Manga, but like, thank god stuff. Yeah, yo, we'll get
shit that. It's like in Game of Thrones, the dragons
are coming, They're gonna happen. You gotta wait until the
very Yeah.
Speaker 2: Man, I'm starting to get a little frustrated.
Speaker 3: And I've I'm always I've always been the one for
decades is saying I believe in Oda.
Speaker 2: I believe in Oda. I have patience. I'm getting old, man.
Speaker 5: Fuck yeah, I'm older than you. Like it.
Speaker 2: I always forget. I always think you're the same age
two years.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be thirty three this year.
Speaker 3: Bro, Wow, look at this old man. William mke tilget
a couple of years. Okay, en up with the tangent okay.
Ending off Episode one, talk. We'll go a little bit
faster with the other episodes for sure. I just want
to say the actual execution scene in the Smile executed
really well in my opinion, overall, I loved it.
Speaker 5: Yeah. The pacing, uh, I think they could have been
a little bit more dramatic with the pacing. I think
it's kind of like they did a little bit too fast.
But the overall scene I think I liked. I like
the idea of Loofy laughing and then everyone noticing he
looked like Roger m hmm.
Speaker 2: No common on al Vita.
Speaker 5: In Vita, oh yeah, Ilia Paulino who lost a bunch
of weight and really worked out and dedicated herself to
that role so they didn't have to recast her. She
did a fantastic job.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I have a hot take. Ay, so
I think props to her for losing all that weight.
Speaker 2: She looks amazing. I think they should have had two
different actors, I think.
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, I mean that's they Well, there's a
character they're gonna do in the next episode that I
think they should have and we'll get to that. Yeah,
but uh, I think they did Okay, I didn't.
Speaker 2: They did Okay?
Speaker 3: But just in the manga and the anime, like the
trans transition after eating the Devil Fruit is so large
and so jarring, like the difference.
Speaker 2: Between the two characters.
Speaker 3: That doesn't matter if she lost one hundred pounds and
got on all these like whatever she did. Props to
her for doing it. That's amazing, and I think she
did a good job. But I think it would have
been even better if they just had two different actors,
Like the Devil Fruit had that much of a change
to her.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it did, had that much of a dramatic change.
I think. I think it's just because I saw that
they were gonna like she was dead to it so
long ago, so I'm like, oh, yeah, that's the perfect
way to do it, and I don't really think thought
about the other direction.
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, but overall, I'm I'm really enjoying it. Moving
on to episode two, they go through Reverse Mountain, which
was epic, and they end cool.
Speaker 5: The way they did that, it was really nice. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I always get worried for those like larger than
life moments, which is like, for example, the knock up stream.
Speaker 2: I don't know how they're going to do it.
Speaker 3: But I also had like a similar thought process for
Reverse Mountain, and I think they did a fantastic job.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they changed very little, like the overall, Like they
added way more shipwrecks in the canal, which I think
is amazing that that makes sense. And uh, Loofy using
his powers to like guide the ship with his arms
rather than using I think in the manga, he uses
a balloon and that kind of like buffers them against
the rocks. But then like when they get to the
top and they turn the ship and then they go
down like a roller coaster. I have no idea how
they shot that scene. I mean they probably put the
whole mary on like some kind of like Teeter Totter
kind of thing. Yeah, but like I don't know how
they did it, but they did a really good job. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then they get to the bottom and they see
Laboon and I love Laboon.
Speaker 2: And then the ship gets eaten.
Speaker 3: Loofy stays on the outside with Crocus and the rest
of the crew end up on the inside. If anyone
wants to give me their general thoughts or take from there.
Speaker 5: So the big change, yeah, you go ahead, decided guys.
Speaker 4: I was about to say they did not include Crocus
being inside.
Speaker 5: The whale, Yah the house right, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they left basically everybody in there.
Speaker 1: Uh and we do get the reveal of Miss Wednesday and.
Speaker 3: Mister no, Yeah, dude, I think they did a fantastic
job with VVA.
Speaker 5: She did a great job in that role.
Speaker 2: She is so hot, she is.
Speaker 4: I am am a huge Bridgerton fan, so I've never
seen it, but I saw.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she was really popular in that. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: She was a major character in one of the seasons. So,
and it's funny because she played a character that was
like a princess and then she's playing.
Speaker 5: Now she is now she is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So it's I think she's absolutely talented, and I'm
really glad they ended up casting her because I think
she's perfect.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she killed it.
Speaker 3: I was a little worried, not gonna lie when she
was initially cast, and then I was also like really
really annoyed with all the hate she was getting on
on Twitter and the racism.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 3: It was disgusting, honestly, But don't get me wrong, I
was still worried because you know, like, is she gonna
portray is she gonna feel like vv And at the
end of the.
Speaker 5: Day, I ever heard of her. I never heard of
her before. I never saw Richardon. So I watched a
couple of clips from her and stuff like that, and
I'm like, yeah, she seems like a perfectly fine endor.
But you know, it's the Internet, so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: And it was just like the screenshot they released with
the angle and the hair like the hair dye.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh no, I'm like, are they going to
ruin this?
Speaker 3: And then I first saw her act and I saw
her play and move around. I'm like, God, damn, she's
vv she killed it.
Speaker 2: And she's paying.
Speaker 5: Two characters too. She's playing like Miss Wednesday. He's like, oh,
I have to be like a villain. And then later
on she becomes an ally and so she has to
kind of like play two different distinct characters and that's
also something that will probably be challenging. And she did
a great job with it.
Speaker 2: Dude, she killed it. But yeah, kind of jumping ahead,
mister nine, I don't really.
Speaker 5: Last Oh my god, he was fucking I love and
a lot of his stuff is in the next episode
that I really liked, but here when he was just
first introduced, he did a great job.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't give a fuck about mister nine in
the anime. The anime in manga, I did not care, dude.
He had a performance of a lifetime in the next episode,
and just in general, I love the character.
Speaker 5: His fight was Zoro, especially when he takes out the
bats and that whole thing is choreographed so well, but
that's getting ahead of ourselves. But like, yeah, so they yeah,
they changed it, so Crocus is not inside Laboon now
Loofy's outside with him. They do they don't do the
running gag where he stares them down, which I think
that might have been kind of tricky to do in
live action. I think that might be why they cut it.
Manga and anime makes more with that medium. I just
don't think that joke would have hit the same way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he like also, Crocus like re engineers the inside
of La Boon and it's like, yeah, it's like he's
chilling on an island in there and stuff versus. They
did change some things, but I think for the most
part it had the same effect.
Speaker 2: What really mattered.
Speaker 3: Was was the Laboon and Loofy interaction and even just
Loofy interacting with Crocus and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: And I think they killed it.
Speaker 5: They did There is a scene at the end, and
I won't say anything more than this, but Oosop is
talking to Crocus and he kind of hints to that.
He's like, hey, you could just build a house inside
of Laboon sometime and then you have a whole big,
spacious area in there. And Crocus says, well, if things
ever go to shit, I'll keep that in mind. That's
all I'm saying. But if you've read, if you're up
to date with the Monk, and you know exactly where
that's going, but that, I don't know if that was
a reference to that, I don't get it. Maybe it's okay,
that's okay. If you don't get it, that's all right, all.
Speaker 3: Right, I'm gonna I'll think, oh, okay, And anyway, we'll
move on from that.
Speaker 2: H oh my favorite scene? Go ahead?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, no, go ahead. I was just gonna move
on to the rumbar scene. But yet, what's your favorite thing?
Speaker 3: I mean, oh, my favorite scene in the episode is
I don't know why it made me emotional, but there
was this scene with Crocus and Nami or like nom
the kind of debts are like navigator skills and like
it's like, no, you're gonna be fine. And I don't
know the exact wording of it, but I literally fucking
started crying.
Speaker 2: I'm like, why is this the scene?
Speaker 5: Why this saying?
Speaker 1: Not very many navigators come as far as.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you did exactly. The fact that you even made
it here shows that you do have talent, right, you
would have been dead in those shipwrecks if it wasn't
for your skill.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know why that scene got to me,
but that scene got me good. I loved it. If like,
it just hit me in the feels. Anyway, let's talk
about the rumbar scene.
Speaker 5: Tecking, Yes, the rumbar scenes. So before we even get
to that and brook In everything, the biggest thing I
know was the first thing I noticed when I was
watching the season that I was like, ah, they probably
should have changed this. So Crocus is played by Clive Russell.
He was a great actor. He was in Game of Thrones,
he played the character there. He is eighty years old
playing a seventy one year old in the flashback he's
supposed to be twenty one and they just give him
up and they just give him a wig. Now, this
is funny. The memes of this could be like man
Crocus was born an old man. Medical school was rough
to Crocus. I'd be like, that's funny, But they should
have just got another actor for that. Yeah, that would
have been easy to do. Crocus was ripped back in
the day. Briggs, you could have played Crocus at age
twenty one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like I for some reason, they don't like
having two different actors. It feels like for different like
facts and changes in the same episode.
Speaker 2: And I do think that would have been better.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like for us like mega fans that are like,
we know he's twenty one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they don't actually say it's fifty years ago in
the episode, which if they did do that any more,
people would be aware of it. But like Crocus already
has like the little flower thing on his head, So
even if they used a different actor, they could have
gotten to some like thirty year old super buff guy
put the flower on his head, people would go, oh,
this is a flashback. This was when he was a
younger man. That makes sense, right, dude.
Speaker 3: I think the only different state that is like he
looked the same, but his beard had like like they
made his beard like black instead of instead of instead
of like gray.
Speaker 5: Yeah, still some gray hair there. It's like, maybe it
makes sense if he's like because he even says he's
seventy one in the episode. He tells Loofy yeah, and
then he's like, maybe this could take place when he
was in his fifties, but like, it's it's not that
it's further back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, unless they do something with Brook where
he wasn't at sea for fifty years and instead he
was at sea they could for twenty years about that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they change it so it's less than that, but
that also if that starts messing up the timeline in
a big way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not worth it for what for what?
Speaker 5: For what? Just because yeah, Okay, I'm just gonna assume
it's like a Benjamin Button situation and Crocus was born
as an old man. Yeah, I'm just gonna go with that.
Speaker 2: He just looks old done.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah poseidon Any thoughts on on this episode on
rumbar on.
Speaker 1: Oh, I cried like a baby.
Speaker 4: It was like re experiencing trauma. I think they did
a really good job at the way they animated laboon
because I think they it's just like seeing him cry,
seeing him interact with Brook, it like broke my heart.
Speaker 5: They had the little baby whale shed that was.
Speaker 4: At the Kleenex time to cry. No, I think it's
I think it's cool that they did reveal Brook.
Speaker 5: I mean he was there. Yeah, he was.
Speaker 1: There, and he's very important to Leaboon so.
Speaker 3: And more importantly, he's important to the fans. And we
don't know how far this is gonna go. So at
the end of the day, showing Brook this early on,
I think is a great.
Speaker 5: Making it to Thriller Bark is not impossible, Yeah, they
could do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but also it's like, yeah, we met Brooke as
a skeleton, so I think showing that character earlier does
add some value in retrospect. I think it's a good choice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, even if they don't manage to get all the
way to Thriller Bark, at least Brook was still in
the series, and I think that's a good way to
do it. Yeah. In the manga, you just kind of
see a brief flashback of Yorki. They actually focused on
Yorki more here, which is great because he is actually
the captain at this point and so his actor was
really good and they had a conversation him and Crocus
and uh, yeah, it was done really well.
Speaker 3: Nice singing with beautiful casting was great. I love that.
Like I was a little worried about how they're going
to do a whale and like me too, and even
like the small whale.
Speaker 2: In the long it is like super cheeby. I'm like,
how are they going to do this?
Speaker 3: And they somehow made like a realistic looking whale for
the most part, but it had those eyes of puppy
dog eyes.
Speaker 2: I'm like, they did it. They pulled it up all.
Speaker 5: You'll see this in the dinosaurs at Little Garden too.
They just make all of these characters, these animals look
with giant anime eyes. It's the same thing with the stegas,
not the stegosaurus. The bronosaurus is too. Yeah, but yeah,
they sing bing sake. They change the way Loofy defeats
Labooney fights him in the manga. That would have been
a little tough to do in the live action. This
is a change. I think it's done really well. They
have Lufy singh bingsake to Laboon.
Speaker 3: He does a certain dance as well. I guess we
won't talk about, but he does.
Speaker 5: A particular dance the way he moves.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, but anyway, I think. Moving on from that,
another great arc. We got a little Easter egg with
Crocus having his arm around Roger. There's a photo in
his or a newspaper come out in the in I.
Speaker 5: Gotta mention this. I got to mention this when the
trailer was released of this episode and we got to
see this one scene of Crocus in the thing. I'm
looking in the background in the trailer. I'm like, I
wonder if they would put a picture of Roger and
him in the background there, And they actually did it.
Speaker 2: They listened to you.
Speaker 5: After the scene was shot. They also Crocus mentions Laftail
directly to the straw Hats. They changed that so he
doesn't say it. I kind of like that change too,
Like the straw Hats don't. It's more mysterious for them,
like they don't know where it is. They just know
they're on their journey, right Like, because Crocus was on
Roger's crew, that's the whole thing. He's been to Laftail before.
He knows where it is.
Speaker 3: But yeah, anyway, so moving from there, we go to
Little Garden. On Little Garden we get.
Speaker 5: This whiskey peak.
Speaker 2: Whiskey peak. Oh my god, I Whiskey.
Speaker 1: Peek epic episode.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, it was cool. It was a cool episode
forgot Whiskey pee.
Speaker 1: My favorite scene.
Speaker 5: Oh sorry, no, no, no, you go ahead. I have
to look something up.
Speaker 1: Oh you're good.
Speaker 4: I absolutely loved the Zoro versus the one hundred baroque works.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know what I love about that as well.
Speaker 3: I love that we have hawkeye little mirage like taunting
while he's training, while he's fighting the hundred. People like
that little Hawkeye mirage is a great addition.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 5: That was a great way to get Mihawk because Miehawk
was an incredibly popular character in season one. Everybody loved
the way he played him. Uh. And so it's Jeff
Ward that plays Buggy, and then there's an I think
John Stephen John Ward I think plays me Hawk. They
have the same last name. It's crazy anyway. So they're like, oh,
we got to bring me Hawk back. But it doesn't
make any sense for him to be there. It's like,
I'll just have him be in like Zoro's like you know,
daydream sequences. I'm like, okay, that one's yeah.
Speaker 2: Put that and continue your thoughts. Sorry I cut you off.
Speaker 1: No, you're absolutely loved that.
Speaker 4: They just they showed Zoro actually defeating a hundred of them.
They're not like skipping through it. And I think the
fight choreography overall in this season is so much better
than the first one, and I think this is like
a prime example of it.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: I think this was probably one of the best choreo
choreography choreographed fights in the series so far. There a
couple of moments where like Zoro does these moves. I'm like,
that looked on that looks so cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they really made it whole, like the I love
the little edited thing where he's like actually counting and
I was counting along too. I was like, oh wait,
how many did he take out there? How many take
out there? And it's brutal by the way too. I
mean he's just oh yeah, he's like slitting throats and everything,
but I've actually just way more bloody.
Speaker 3: I like that addition as well. I like that people
are actually dying, Like we know people die, but they
don't really show it. I like a little bit of
go or a little bit like if he's using a
sword cut a dude in half.
Speaker 5: He's using a sword. This isn't just like I hit
you and you go, oh, I fall down. It's like
these are really razor sharp swords. You are dying if
you get sab with this in my heart, you're.
Speaker 3: I do have one complaint. I really liked Loofy versus Zorro.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's like everyone does that. Until almost halfway through
the episode. I was like, they're not doing that, are they?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Okay, it's a loss.
Speaker 3: Loofy gets drugged or like hypnotized or whatever it is
in the anime or manga, and he goes crazy and
Zoro tries to calm him down and they're fighting.
Speaker 5: No, it actually isn't that, even Loofy thinks. So he
he eats a shit ton of food. Yeah, and then
Zoro's beating up whole Hunters and Loofy still thinks that
they were nice trying trying to explained to him, and
Lufy's just like, shut up, these people were nice to us.
Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they changed that whole thing because Lufy gets knocked out.
They actually do have him get hypnotized by Vb's dance
in this one.
Speaker 2: So that's that's what it should have been.
Speaker 3: They could have made it like he gets hypnotized and
then he just ends up fighting Zoro for some reason.
I got a little bit confused there. I guess it
doesn't really make that much sense, because like Lufy's almost
be a good judge of character and he loved those
guys and got fooled by them and then fights Zoro.
I feel like that's kind of that's almost out of
character for Lufy in a little bit of a way.
Speaker 5: They could have probably fit something in really quick where
he fought Zoro for like ten seconds and then like
Zoro's like, loofy, they're not their their enemies and Lufy's
like oh okay, yeah, and then they could have done
that yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But I do like how they really they kind
of pressed the point that Lufy's a good judge of
character with his guts or whatever it is.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like even though you know Igoram was a villain,
he's actually a good guy.
Speaker 3: He's a good guy that's currently a villain, right the
same way Pirates could in theory be good guys.
Speaker 5: I gotta talk about a highlight of this episode though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, before you say that this real quick.
Speaker 3: The reason why I'm with a little bit upset is
the power Scaler in me just loves to see Lufi
and Zoro like throw hands and be similar in power.
Speaker 5: But anyway, yes, the idea that them fighting like cause
it is like they don't actually kill each other or
do anything crazy, but it is like really a focus
in the story of like, yeah, Zoro versus Loofy, who
would win at this point? Here, let's go. But yeah,
there's a song. There's a saxophone solo kind of thing
that Igoram does in this episode that's really catchy. It's
a whole song and it was done by Leo p
They actually got like an actual saxophone like artist who
is a local guy. He's from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I was
looking up his stuff and he's like a professional saxophone player,
and it's like, I have that on my playlist. That
song is so damn catchy. Hell yeah, it's called Whiskey
Peak Saloon. If anybody wants to look it up.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna check it out. I'm gonna check
it out. Yeah.
Speaker 3: There was one addition to this arc that I or
this episode that I really liked, because up until now
I like Sonji's character, but he just comes off as
more of like a gentleman and just like he feels.
He feels like Sonjy when he's bickering with Zoro, but
a lot of the times he.
Speaker 2: Does feel like a little bit of a different character.
Speaker 5: The im to kind of tone it down a bit, though,
because he can't exactly have him like slobbering over every
woman he sees. He's probably gonna that's not gonna test
to one.
Speaker 4: You know what.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think it needed to be as extreme,
but there is a part of me that just wants
him to be flirtatious, right, and his initial introduction talking
to Nami, he was very flirtatious. I loved it. But
he wasn't like an a megasimp comedic moment, but he
was a little bit flirtation. So having the scene with
the two ladies or the two the two women where
he's he's flirting with them and I'm like, this is
my Sanji, or at least closer to it.
Speaker 5: I loved the the inclusion that basically he's flirting with
these two women they're twins, and then he goes over
to Oosop and is basically like, you're coming with me,
We're getting laid tonight exactly I'm like that. I'm like, okay,
that was crazy, and just like wait what okay, like
you're my wing man, come on, we're doing this, this
is happening now. And I'm like all right, shit, and
then they tie them up and it's like okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So he does have a scene in a flirting season
scene in season one and a flirting scene in season two.
So a lot of people are complaining that he's not
the same character and I'm like, he's still doing it.
They could make him flirt a little bit more with
like be a gentleman.
Speaker 2: He could be. He could be a gentleman, be a
ladies man.
Speaker 3: He doesn't need to be a mega simp, hard eyes,
puppy dog jumping around for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's really exaggerated in the manga.
Speaker 3: Yes, even more so in the anime because anime needs filler,
so like whatever they do in the manga, they intensified
in the anime.
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, I I.
Speaker 3: That scene made me happy because I feel like I've
been I've been wanting it more because Sonji isn't feeling
like sonjy and Sonji is my favorite character. So in
the anime at least, Yeah, what else happened in this episode.
Speaker 5: Igoram uh mister five. Uh yeah, mister five, Miss Valentin's
show up. Igoram, just I think straight up dies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a good choice.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Uh. He doesn't really do much else in the manger,
the anime, or anything like that. He shows up later
in Alabasta, but like, really, you don't need to have
him alive. I don't think there's anything that is necessary
for that.
Speaker 3: Like, don't get me wrong, I liked seeing him in
the manga afterwards, but at the same time, it's like
it makes sense for him to die.
Speaker 5: He's sacrificing himself, blows the fuck up, and it's like,
how the hell did it even survives?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of hate moments where someone sacrifices themselves
and then they don't actually sacrifice themselves because the author
is too scared to kill them off.
Speaker 2: So I do like this change. I think it's a
good change.
Speaker 3: Also, they changed it from Robin blowing up the ship
since Igoram is actually dying, they made it mister five,
which we all know. Robin eventually joins the crew, and
it makes her like more even though she is an
assassin right now, she's absolutely killing people. She killed tons
of people in her introduction. Killing someone that we care
about is different like Igoram.
Speaker 5: Oh, she's been an assassin for years.
Speaker 2: He's killed so many, so many people, but change not her.
Speaker 3: Not killing Igoram and having mister five or someone else
do it is was a good choice as well in
my opinion.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, then who's gonna Oh yeah, I guess the
only other moment is who's gonna cause play vv when
the straw Hats say goodbye at Alabasta. They could they
could get Cobra to do that. Maybe Cobra will cause
places VV or whoever Terra Cotta Igoram's wife which sorry
that her husband died, Maybe she'll do it. Actually, that
might make more sense for just.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it does make more sense.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because they look identical.
Speaker 2: Or Chaka. That's so funny.
Speaker 5: Chaka, yeah, Chaka just put Yeah, that'd be great.
Speaker 2: It has to be Chaka. Now, it has to be Chaka.
Oh my god, that's hilarious.
Speaker 5: Dude, that's a brilliant thing in the chat. Bringing back
Igoram's actor to play his wife. That would be funny.
Speaker 2: Hell, dude, that's hilarious.
Speaker 5: But yeah, there's ways they could get around that. Yeah, sure,
let's see. Is there anything major else they they change?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Caru. Dude, that's a change I love because
Vv's supposed to be deep cover here and it's like,
oh no, I wonder who Miss Wednesday is riding around
on a duck that's native to Alabasta. Turns out that
she is the princess of Alabasta. Who could have guessed that?
Speaker 3: Honestly, as long as we get Caro Caru duck in
in the.
Speaker 2: Actual, he has to, he has to.
Speaker 5: I think it's already confirmed because Oda drew the shirts
for the crew on season three, and Caru is on
the shirt, thank god, So I think he's gonna be
in season and VV even mentions him in Little Garden,
so I think he'll show up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Miss Monday isn't so buff.
Speaker 5: Miss Monday. She was still the scene where she takes
off the nun like hobbit habit thing and it's just
like time to repent and and then you hear like
the Monks song and she like just starts fighting. I'm like,
all right, that was over the top video game bullshit,
but I loved it.
Speaker 3: I love that, Okay, So I think moving on also
talk about we didn't talk about Robin or her initial introduction.
Speaker 5: She Molly, oh yeah, Laro Bova and I guess in
episode one, and then yeah, yeah they add her in
earlier on.
Speaker 3: Dude when she takes out all those marines though the
lifelike looking arms and then like making them shoot each
other and stab each other.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that was a sixth scene.
Speaker 1: Aura horrifying in the live.
Speaker 2: Action, horrifyingly hot Wa more.
Speaker 1: Of like villain in action than she was portraying to.
Speaker 5: She literally like takes that marines, like the marines trying
to shoot her, and then he takes she takes control
of the gun and has him shoot his commanding officer,
which r ip Commander Ripper, He's dead, So yeah, Ripper.
Speaker 3: Anyway, let's move on to Little Garden. You're absolutely right,
though precided. She is terrifying in this adaptation, as she
should be.
Speaker 5: Absolutely and she shows up on the ship at the
end of episode three, and that leads into episode Yes,
so that all works.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if anyone wants to take it away with ahead.
Speaker 1: One to one to the anime, Yes.
Speaker 5: Yes, she shows up on the ship. Yeah, they change
a couple of things, but it's that that scenees kept
very close to the ranch.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 3: She even does like the same head tilts, like the
angles of her head are tilted like in a similar
way too.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 5: Yep, they uh they have a scene where yeah, like
oosop and uh, Sonji try to like pull out like
weapons to fight her. Uh. And they actually do cut
that scene there where Sonji holds a gun to her
and then he stops and is like wow, I didn't
know she was beautiful. And then it's like, no, this
is like a more serious situation, Sonji. An enemy is
now on the ship, so you need to like.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm fine with them taking away stuff like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Even though I am I'm the biggest Sonji fan boy,
He's still my number one favorite character.
Speaker 4: I think there was still like a like he asked
her she was gonna stay, and he was like keep
it in your pants.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah that was when that scene happened. Yeah, I
know that was still there. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 3: I like it and it was funny though Sony didn't
react to no me in a swimsuit, which I get
why they made the choice. He doesn't need to be
a creep, but all the fans reacted to her in
a swimsuit.
Speaker 2: It's like he could have.
Speaker 5: Been very responded, And you know, there was a lot
of people that responded to that in the way that
I assumed they would probably do. Yeah. So, but what's
funny about that scene with Robin is that at the
end of the whole interaction, she just like like she
just like falls off the ship and no context on
what she landed on or how she got away. She
just falls off the ship like, oh, she's gone. Now
now we're at Little Garden. And I'm like, that's funny
because like from that actually just falls in the ocean. Yeah,
what was the.
Speaker 2: What is Robin ride in the manga? Isn't it like
a snail?
Speaker 5: It's a turtle. Turtle, turtle, It's a turtle. Name.
Speaker 3: I wanted the turtle named Boncho Man. I wanted the
turtle that he she jumps off into. But anyway, let's
move on to Little Garden. Let's keep it moving. Little Garden.
We got to see the giants. We got a hilarious
ussap moment that I found so so so funny where
he's Lord of Destruction or something like that.
Speaker 2: It was great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they really dived well into that there.
Speaker 3: They're trying to give Usop some some like credit and props.
Speaker 5: Little Garden was zusaps episodes. They really gave it to
him there, and I'm happy they did.
Speaker 2: Honestly poseidon thoughts on Little Garden.
Speaker 4: I it's it's kind of similar to what I already
had mentioned, But I think just overall, the main agents
that they cast for baroque.
Speaker 1: Works are so good.
Speaker 4: I feel like, like Robin are much wi scarier in
the live action, Like Miss Golden Week was kind of
whatever for me in the anime, but then in the
live action.
Speaker 1: She's so creepy and just mortified.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that was something that a lot of people
actually did not like. I'm still kind of up in
the air, yes, because in the manga, in the arc
she's introduced in, she's just kind of like really stoic
and doesn't have much emotion and just attacks everybody. Later
on in a cover story, you get her personality and
she's actually kind of nice, and then here she's just psychotic.
She even has a line where she like killed her
parents by putting them into like boxes or whatever, and
it's it's a different kind of depiction of the character.
So I'll go more into it when I make my
own stuff, but like, yeah, they did change her character around,
probably pretty significantly. Yeah, I liked her.
Speaker 3: I don't think I had a great memory of Golden
Week from the manga and animey that I remembered her
that vividly, And I feel like this character really stood
out to me. And even though I'm back end boy.
Speaker 5: It would have much of a personality in the original,
So they had to give her something I feel like
they had. They felt like they needed to, and that's
what they did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what else. I just loved the ussap and the
Giants connection. Yeah, mister THII did a good job as well.
I think his outfit and like his makeup and everything
was perfect.
Speaker 5: David Dausmuchia did a great job. The scene with in
the cave with Broggy is so good because it's like
Nami and Usop are about to get they think they're
about to get em and they explained this to Broggy
and Broggy's like, the only thing I'm starving for is conversation, Like, Okay,
I guess that would make sense. You don't have a
lot of people to talk to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, question teching, Yeah, we get a hilarious fight between
the Unluckis and Sanji, which I thought it was so
bad that it was good.
Speaker 2: I loved it.
Speaker 3: It was one of those fights that were like comedically funny.
I really enjoy it. But then we get the mister
Prince reveal that doesn't happen to the anime, does it not?
Speaker 5: At this point? No, so they did actually change that
whole scene around pretty much like in the original, mister
Zero thinks that that is mister three the entire time,
and then Soanji is like, hey, I killed the straw
Hats and he's like okay. Then the Unlucky's attack and
he's like, oh, sorry, the straw Hats were still alive.
I killed him. And he's like, wait a minute, so
you lied to me. Yeah, but whatever, and then that
actually is mister two gets sent to mister three and
to kill him, but in this version it changes, so
Sanji's just like, oh, I'm mister Prince, and so mister
Zero already knows, like, okay, mister three is dead and
this is a whole other thing. So they change that,
I think because mister Two has been cast, but he's
not going to show up until season three, so that's
why I think they change that, got it.
Speaker 3: I do kind of like the fact that in the
original Sanji like is like fooling Crocodile, and the mister
Prince reveal hits pretty hard because of it. I don't
know if this mister Prince reveal, and obviously we know
so much more context behind the word prince that we're
not going to get into, but in general, I don't
I don't know if I loved it as I liked
it that much.
Speaker 5: I liked it. Actually, I think I like the reveal
earlier just because he does use mister Prince in Alabasta,
but it's not until like halfway through Alabasta he starts
using it here it actually gives some like context of like, oh,
we're doing a setup for later, so.
Speaker 3: I get that, but it just takes I just feel
like I love Sundry and I want him to do
cool things, and like it wasn't as cool as in
the manga.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 5: Mister three could still show up. I don't think he's dead,
is what I mean. Like, yeah, because he actually has
to show up again because he shows up an impell down.
They can't have that.
Speaker 3: They didn't kill him and he does some important stuff
in Marine Fort as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so he's got he's still alive. Yeah, let's see.
They add some new scenes with Zoro getting afflicted with
the Colors trap, so like Zoro is laughing his ass off,
and then also Nami is like super chill, like high
Nami of just like everything's good, It's all fine like that.
That was pretty good.
Speaker 1: I love that they included the Zorro with his sort out.
Speaker 5: Yeah they did.
Speaker 2: I'm going to die, I'm gonna be in pose.
Speaker 5: Yep, they got that scene.
Speaker 1: They did.
Speaker 4: They did include that. Yeah, I'm just like a little
bit off comment. It didn't take me until like watching
this live action. I didn't realize the Unluckies were named
that because it's mister.
Speaker 5: Friday, miss Fridays.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 5: Yep. But she takes them out way quick in the
mog I just read the scene just to compare it
to he literally takes them both out with like one attack. Here.
This is like this funny scene. He puts crocodile on
hold and then beats the ship out of the otter
and you see them fighting and it's like, oh, that
scene is just hilarious.
Speaker 3: We have a poll in chat right now who killed
the dinosaur Sandy, Zoro.
Speaker 2: Or both for.
Speaker 1: Ongoing.
Speaker 3: So that's another change, right, because initially it was like
a hunting thing and to see who's who's whatever they hunted,
what was bigger, which would be the same Broggy and Dory.
Speaker 5: They cut out a it was just a t rex
in them. In the live action there was a t rex.
Zorro fights against the triceratops because this triceratops also uses
three sword style, which is really funny. And then and
then Sanji kicks the crap out of a t rex,
and so they just changed into a t rex here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't love the change, to be honest.
Speaker 5: It kind of yeah, they could have. Yeah, I'm not
a fan.
Speaker 3: It has the same result where like, oh, at the
end of the day, they're bickering over who got the kill.
But the whole thing is it's like Sonjy and Zoro's
bickering about who got the the the larger hunt of
the day, with the exact same argument that got Dori
and Broggy fighting in the first place. Whoever, like what
what what fish did they catch or animal did they kill?
Speaker 2: What was bigger. I just it felt like an unnecessary
change for no reason.
Speaker 5: I just fucking realized they never actually explained because on
Little Guard and they have those two giant mountains that
are shaped like skulls. Those are sea king skulls from
when they caught the sea kings. That's never explained in
the live action Like, yeah.
Speaker 3: I think they did though, say that it was like
a hunting match.
Speaker 5: They did, it was a hunting match, but I don't
think it was ever explained that like the mountains on
the island or the seas they each killed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't explain that.
Speaker 5: That's weird. I think they just might have forgotten about that.
They also changed the thing where well, actually before that,
when v V and Lufy are hanging out with Dory,
did you see the little wooden carvings that everybody play out.
Yeah I did not notice. Yeah, they're off to the
side there. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I only noticed it because my chat pointed it out
to me. Go ahead, time you.
Speaker 5: See Broggy, you see a character that shows up later,
and then you see the original depiction of Loki, which
is really Yeah, they put him there. That was really funny.
Speaker 2: Although Besid I didn't even know who Loki.
Speaker 5: Is, So, yeah, exactly, It's just it's fine.
Speaker 2: You don't need to Yeah, it's a name. At this point,
it's a name. We could talk. We'll get to it.
It's not a big deal.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Let's let's keep it moving. I do think seeing
the giants and the dinosaurs in like however they did.
They did it with special effects, and cgi did look
a little bit jarring at times, but at the same
time it felt like one piece.
Speaker 2: Overall it worked.
Speaker 5: I could only notice like a couple of scenes where
I'm like, that's obvious, Like it's obvious green screen because
no ship, there's not real giants in the world, But
like it actually blended really well overall. And they changed
the scene when they were fighting that it was Broggy's
the one that goes down instead of Dory, Like that's
a change that like, who cares, it could have been
either of.
Speaker 3: Them, even notice that I couldn't remember the difference.
Speaker 5: That I'm I'm a nerd with this. Most people aren't
as big of a nerd as I am, so most
people probably wouldn't even notice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's funny.
Speaker 3: I noticed every little change they do with Soanjy, like
like every pread everything they I'm hyper fixated on, soany
everything else is whatever. Yeah, we got a cool scene
where though, where they use their weapons to kill that
gigantic goldfish that like, and they kept on going straight.
Speaker 2: Then that poor thing, I think.
Speaker 5: That poor thing has killed so many people puts.
Speaker 3: I think in this one, Usop was the one that
was like to trust them keep on going straight, while
in like the anime, Lufy is the one who trusts
them and keep going straight. But I think it's a
good addition because Usop is the one who was supposed
to be like encouraged and brought to life a little
bit by by being inspired by this by the giants, right,
so it makes sense for him to trust them.
Speaker 5: The scene when they're fighting, uh like mister three and
Mister five and Miss Valentine and everybody, and Miss Valentine
is just like they change the scene in the manga
where she's like sits on Oosop and increases her weight.
Here she just gets pissed and starts punching his face,
increasing like fifty kilos one hundred kilos and his Usop's
just all beat to ship after his likes got more
in you. It's like that. And then after that he's
like there's a black eye and everything, but like he's
the hero of the island. I'm like that that was cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he let himself get hit in that position, in
that spot so that it would break all the hardened
hardened wow wax to release Zoro and the and and
VV and Noman and it was It was great. There's
so many things that I love about this arc. We
have our complaints, but at the end of the day,
I feel like it's a successful adaptation and they have
the heart of one piece. Like it's just Yeah, there's
so many moments that I'm like, this is one piece,
even though it's different at times, it's.
Speaker 5: A different universe. Just think of it like it's it's
an alternate universe.
Speaker 3: Anyway, No gets sick, right, yes, yes, we have a Yeah,
we have a fun scene in the ship and they're
having a good time. Nomy calls it a day early
and collapses and she gets sick, which is why they
have to go to Drum Island to try and find
a doctor.
Speaker 2: If anyone wants to take it from here.
Speaker 5: Uh. They changed Wopple in a big way. They do
wopple in this version is allied with brook Works, is
like a financier of what they're doing, and Robin gives
him his devil fruit. That's something we that was. I
saw that. I'm like, that's a new scene because he
already had it for like years before that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it gets gifted to him gift of zero.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't dislike to change it.
Speaker 5: Just there's one I was thinking like if that complicates anything,
And there's one scene where like he uses his power
to defeat Dalton years ago, and I'm like, that's the
only thing that really changes. But you could have explained
that away with something else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's easy for it to just be like, yeah,
he wopples like he overpowered and he overpowered him through
he has control of an army.
Speaker 5: He he has an army.
Speaker 4: It was an army.
Speaker 2: It was a three v one four v one or
Wopple's just actually a little bit strong whatever.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's the the I think it's the
idea that Dalton is the head of the guards and
he had all the other guards bring him in, and
Dalton didn't want to kill his own men, so he
just kind of he just kind of he tried to
attack wopple, we got the ship beat out of him
and just let himself get thrown into the prison cell
or whatever. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anyway, so moving on, we got another class act, one
of the best actors in the series series, the one
who played doctor here Look.
Speaker 5: It was a one of my favorites whose last name
is like hard Lick. Yeah, it's very similar to hear
a Look. Yeah. He did an amazing job and the
flashback was probably I think it's the highest rated episode
of the whole season.
Speaker 2: And it's my favorite episode for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I realized I keep on saying like who my
favorite character is, and it's probably like confusing everyone because
I'm like, sometimes I'm talking about the anime and sometimes
I'm talking.
Speaker 2: With the live action.
Speaker 3: In the live action, I would say like Buggy and
doctor here look have stolen my heart in regards to
like their acting and performances and just carrying whatever scene
that they're in. Although when I'm talking about song, you
have more talking about the anime and manga. Not that
not that this soanji is bad by any means.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, no, I I totally get you what you
mean by that, but yeah, uh here looks actor was great.
They got Katie Sagel to play doctor Kreha, and it
was originally like Jamie Lee Curtis originally was interested in
playing her, but she was just busy with some other projects.
So I think Katie sage as she knocked it out
of the park. Although a lot of times whenever she talks,
I just can't help but think of Lee Love from
Futurama and just like like Leela from Futuramas and One Piece,
I'm like, okay, that's fine, but yeah, they do. They
both do their roles amazingly. Well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also just funny to imagine what doctor hero
look is actually acting in front of.
Speaker 5: Like, oh, yeah, it's a person, it's she's There was
a stand in for Chopper that would like dress up
as kind of like the outfit and be so they
actually have someone to act to.
Speaker 2: Actually I did see that interview. I remember that now.
Speaker 3: But it is funny though, just like because at the
end of the day, Chopper is not there.
Speaker 5: Now actually he was. They found the actual anthroporfic reindeer
for this one. See yeah, and it was.
Speaker 3: Such an emotion to so many emotional, amazing moments and
it's just like, yeah, he's being cgied in there.
Speaker 2: It just such a great job.
Speaker 5: Ironically, the general vibe is the CG brain point of Chopper.
It works fine, but when he goes into heavy point,
he's actually played by a real actor. People were kind
of criticizing the way the costume looked, and I kind
of agree with it. It kind of looks a little bit goofy.
They might be able to workshop that a touch later on,
but I think it I think could fix that. Really.
Speaker 3: While I do think it looked a little bit goofy,
I liked it. He kind of looked ugly in that form,
Like he goes from me really cute to a little
bit ugly. Like at the end of the day, he's
a fucking reindeer, human monster and he is an abomination's
bombination and yeah, he's getting called a monster from everybody.
I'm like, you know what, I kind of liked that
they made him a little bit ugly in that in
that like, in that.
Speaker 2: Form where he's strong pros and cons pros and cons.
Speaker 5: And then he uh yeah, the running point, the walk point,
I think they did find too. His regular reindeer. We
didn't even he walks in to get the mushroom and
he's all beat to ship. That was really sad.
Speaker 1: Oh, I.
Speaker 3: Don't think we we didn't get the rumble fruit or
like the rum ball, but we do get it.
Speaker 5: Pleased we do it. It's teased a Chopper gets his
backpack at the end and pulls out a little case
of rumble balls and Nomi's like, what are those and
he's like it's a secret, and I'm like, okay. Season
three he ran out of budget, So season three, I
get it. No, Actually, they might not ran out of budget.
It's just Chopper going through seven forms at once that
might be a little overwhelming to an audience in like
quick successions, So maybe hold that off for later scenes.
I can kind of see that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just think the whole backstory with doctor Harolok was
just amazing, and his speech at the end, but even
more than his speech at the end, just like all
the interactive moments with Chopper were just so topp tire.
It was my favorite episode by far, and I think
they absolutely killed it.
Speaker 5: You know who. I couldn't help but think of Mark
Harrelick's portrayal of doctor Harolock. I kept thinking of Doc
Brown from Back to the Future for some reason. Oh,
just the way the way Christopher Lloyd portrayed him and
the way that he talked it. Just like, man, it
really does feel like I'm watching like a nineteen eighties
Christopher Lloyd play this character, and I kind of love this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what did you guys think of Wopple's powers? And
like he transformed his own like monsters.
Speaker 5: That's a cool change that they made. I love that. Yeah,
I actually love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked it as well.
Speaker 3: It does look a little bit like janky at times,
but like, for the most part, the actual concept I liked.
Speaker 5: The only thing I didn't like about that is when
he was defeated, they all went back to normal, which
is I'm like, I don't think that's how it would work,
but I could see how they did that. I'm typically
not a fan of like the all we gotta do
is beat one guy and then all the other threats
immediately stop, you know what I mean, Like, you know,
they could have just beaten those guys you know, normal
ways or whatever. But yeah, the idea of him using
his much much factory to turn his army into like
these weird, creepy amalgams, Like, that's a cool idea. I'm
glad they did that.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Anything else from this arc. We get the cherry blossoms
at the end, we get a lot I beautifully. I
love the moment with like Zoro putting like Chopper on
his shoulder. There's so many little moments. I don't know
any moments you guys really liked from this arc.
Speaker 5: I mean we touched upon a lot of the I
was worried they weren't gonna use Dalton's devil fruit because
in the first two episodes six and seven they don't
show it, and I'm like, are they just gonna cut that?
And then it's only an episode eight they actually show
him do all of it. I'm like, okay, because that
was easy enough to do with like a mask and stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to do it. That's part of Dalton's character, and.
Speaker 5: Like, yeah, I loved Alton was actually one of my
favorite characters.
Speaker 2: You loved Dalton.
Speaker 3: He does use it against Chopper and the flashback in
the anime and the manga.
Speaker 5: So they didn't do it here And be a little worried.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, anything else decided in any moments.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to I think, please correct me if I
am wrong, But We did get Robin on.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Robin is just she just shows up throughout the
whole season, which is kind of what the live action does.
It's like, Okay, we're not just gonna choose this character
for one episode, We'll have them throughout. And she has
a like she changes outfits too. I think she's wearing
her like black leather jacket. She wears an Enny's lobby
like here, and that's actually kind of cool. But yeah,
she shows up at Drum and has a cool interaction.
Speaker 2: Did we did we get they referenced Blackbeard? But we
didn't get a did we they did?
Speaker 5: No, they didn't show Ace. I thought, you know what
I thought. I thought during the final battle when they
were fighting Wopple's soldiers, I thought he was going to
show up and use a firefist to take one of
them out and just kind of like tip his hat,
leave a piece of paper and then fuck off. I
thought that's what they were gonna do and do that.
Speaker 2: I forgot about that. I just remember that right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I could have sworn he was going to show
up and save some and save the day, but he
did not do that.
Speaker 3: We also got a really like like heartwarming scene where
like Sonjy kind of reveals his backstory to Nami. They
didn't show the backstory, he just like has that conversation.
Speaker 5: Hands down, favorite favorite change they did the entire season.
I saw that and I immediately texted my one friend
that also watches One Piece. I'm just like, they fucking
included this, and I love that they did.
Speaker 3: I think it's a great early on inclusion. I agree,
there is a part of me that wish they kind
of like just flashed to like his mom in like
a hospital bed with like some bad food in front
of her, and like Sonji as a kid, there's a
part of me that wanted that, but I think his
performance did a good enough job that we didn't need that.
Speaker 5: It makes perfect sense too, because these are actual characters
that have so much depth to them now because we
have the whole manga to work with, so like, yeah,
back then, maybe he wouldn't, but like Ifnami asked about
his mom, then yes, Sonji would tell her. And it's
like I love that scene and the actor between Tess
Skuyler and Emily Rudd were so good to do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was fantastic and we got it like a
cool fight. I do think Lufy looked weaker against Wopple,
and I didn't love that change, Like I just.
Speaker 5: Kind of dominates the fight in the manga.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the manga, he dominates the fight, and maybe
that's why people didn't like Wopple as much, because he
was relatively weak and annoying villain. And I think they
were trying to make it like a more at the
end of the day, they can only do so many
episodes and we get the season so spread out is
They're probably like, if he's the big bad it needs
to be like a closer back at all. But I
do feel like he came off a little bit weaker.
But he also looked like he wasn't trying Loofy at times,
just having fun, which like works with his character. VV
was helping out, which was cool, and we get like
that little the combo attack with Sonjy and loofy Uh
to finish off Wapple, which they do do in the
UH in the anime as well at some point, which
I thought was pretty good overall good, I just wish.
Speaker 2: He looked a little stronger.
Speaker 5: They give him a little bit of a buff too. Also, dude,
Rob Coletti, he played Wopple. He talked about like you
can imagine the makeup and the costume for that was
very heavy and encumbering. Dude. He mentioned how hot it
was in that costume, and there's a scene where he's
at the table eating the food. You could tell the
actor is just viscerally sweat. Yeah, but that works for oweight.
He's just this disgusting food. Apparently it was just so
hot wearing that costume.
Speaker 2: They used liquid cooling on the inside of his suit
because he was dying.
Speaker 5: Yet he's literally dying. Yeah, that's what also explains why
you have so many doctors. Yeah, oh sire, your blood
pressure please stop, dude.
Speaker 3: And he fucking like said to the guy to jail,
He's like, the pink outfits were so funny.
Speaker 2: I loved it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I loved it. It's just it's very off putting,
not off putting, just very stark and contrasting that they're
all the issue twenty. That's just like, yes, we are doctors.
We dressed like this all the time.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Oh they got any other moments, guys.
Speaker 5: I mean yeah, I mean overall, I think that's pretty
much covers it. What do you think presided thoughts on Crocodile.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we forgot about that.
Speaker 5: I think he looked shoe. Yeah he shows up. That
also a local guy. He's also from Pittsburgh. They're just
casting people from Pittsburgh and this I love it. Uh yeah,
they just used him as like I figured that was
going to be the case. Last scene of the episode,
just a quick cut to Alabasta and U see Crocodile.
And it had pretty much what I expected it to have.
But season three is gonna be out quicker than season two.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you know who, we didn't talk about it all.
So first of all, Crocodile looked amazing, Thank you for
bringing that up.
Speaker 2: Sidon. What about the Shigi guys.
Speaker 5: Fantastic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and her interaction with Zorro.
Speaker 4: Like online they were complaining that she looked pretty ugly
and that she was.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I was just like she's a.
Speaker 1: Nerd kind of the point. She's like a huge nerd
about swords.
Speaker 5: Not everybody, you know. It's like it's like I'm watching
one piece. I have standards about what people should be.
The guys shut I mean like this is you know
what I mean? Like she does she play the role well.
Speaker 2: Also, I thought I thought she was.
Speaker 5: I thought I thought so too.
Speaker 3: I thought she played the role well. I think she
captured the nerdy aspect of the character. Interactions were good,
fights were decent, and I thought she was cute and
adorable but able.
Speaker 5: I love that. Yeah, that's perfect adorable. But she did
the little like happy dance when she was like ready
to go to the grand line and was just walking away. Oh,
you know, stopped dancing. I know you're dancing. It's like, okay,
there's there wasn't. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm misremembering, but I don't recall Robin offering.
Speaker 5: No, that doesn't happen. Yeah, yeah, that was cool. They're
setting that up. I think later when tu Shiki fights
Robin in Alabasta, they're gonna set up a thing with that.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 1: Oh I see that.
Speaker 2: I don't even remember Toshiki fighting Robin.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not really a fight so much as Robin
just wins. Yeah, but they might. They're gonna. I think
they're gonna add more to the scene.
Speaker 2: And on the rooftop, I think I do remember.
Speaker 5: It's literally the scene where Tachiki takes out her sword,
Robin uses her powers and Touchiki just soared right out
her neck and so there is no fight. He just
auto loses pretty much.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. We talked about the sword scene and neplid
one with Zoro.
Speaker 3: We talked about Crocodile's revealed, which I thought was great.
I think we touched upon basically everything.
Speaker 5: Overall, I'm overall ideas. I think.
Speaker 2: I think overall, I'm loving it. I think it was better.
Speaker 3: Season two was better than season one, don't get me wrong,
Like sometimes it could be. It was a little awkward,
a little bit cringe. I think that's just because they're
trying to be relatively faithful to a and I would
rather them try and be faithful than try and make
it super serious and different.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we've seen that with a lot of live
action adaptations of just like animated stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: I think this is the only I got to mention
one more thing before we finish up, though, and it's
there is an original character that gets shown here, and
it's it's Miss Thursday. Oh that's right.
Speaker 4: I think they didn't include was was she the replacement
for Miss Mary Christmas?
Speaker 5: No, So I was worried about that at first. I
thought it was miss marry Christmas because she has a
baseball thing. Right, So mister eleven shows up in the manga.
That whole scene in the live actions expanded upon they
already caught him in the manga. In the live action
they show Smoker fighting mister eleven. No Taschhiki fighting mister eleven.
Mister Eleven's partner is Miss Thursday. We never see her,
so Oda actually drew what she looks like. She is
confirmed to be mister Four's younger sister. Oh so mister
four uses the big baseball thing, so his little sister
is the picture. Well he is the batter or a
catcher and then yeah, he's the batter, So that is
something they added. So Oda drew what she looked like
and then they included her in here, and this is
the first time she ever showed up in the in
the story.
Speaker 3: I like the I like that means we get more
Smoker in the season. It also means we get to
see Tashigi shine because not gonna lie a lot of
times in the anime and manga, Tashigi just gets killed,
gets wrecked by Robin, gets wrecked by Zoro. But seeing
her be competent against not a nobody like it was
mister eleven, right, yeah.
Speaker 5: He's a frontier agent. It was really fun because like she's,
oh my god, you have the legendary sword Cashu. That's
a rio Wazamono. And he's like, I don't fucking know it.
This sword has a name. I'll call it George or something.
He just doesn't carries mocking his sword, and then that
pisses Ta Shigi off.
Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, they added some value to her character too,
Like we knew she cared about swords, but it was
like her reason for going to the Grand Line in
this case, and like they added.
Speaker 2: To it a little bit more.
Speaker 1: Walter.
Speaker 2: They this sword water.
Speaker 5: I'll call my sword of Walter the Great Blade.
Speaker 3: Walter only in Hollywood. Will that be a change anyway?
I hope everyone enjoyed. You guys have any final thoughts
on the one piece live action go Watch.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait for season three.
Speaker 5: Hell yeah, twenty twenty seven. It's probably gonna be the
latter half of twenty twenty seven if I had to have. Yeah, yeah,
but I know they're finishing up filming pretty soon. They're
almost done with it.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, I'm so I'm so excited.
Speaker 5: For more.
