Speaker 1: Yo, What is up? Boys? How's it going? And welcome
back to another episode of the One Piece Virgin Podcast.
We're back again with the Virgin Poseidon covering Arlong Park.
What's up?
Speaker 2: Hello? Hi everybody. I'm excited to talk about our Long
Park because I do have I have thoughts this arc.
But yeah, I'm pretty exciting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited to hear what you have
to say. Animec for anime uproars here.
Speaker 3: From But yeah, I like seeing Arlong get parked right
into the fucking ground? Am I right?
Speaker 1: Boys? Yeah? All right, general, general, general thoughts beside him?
What are you feeling?
Speaker 2: I really liked it a lot?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: The other thing beside it, this is the last arc
that was so far covered in the live action, so
it's the last one that we can compare. Yeah, and
after that, you're going, you're raw dogging the Virgin experience exactly.
Speaker 2: So I'm actually I was looking forward to finishing this
because now I have I don't have any idea of
what's going to happen next because the live action did
not cover it. So yeah, I really loved Arlong Park
the whole. I think this was the arc that made
me cry the most.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I literally cried twice today. I literally was rewatching
it today. I cried twice twice.
Speaker 2: I've definitely cried more than twice.
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't finish the arc and I just kind
of rewatched. Yeah. I've watched and re read Arline Park
like three to four times, so I know I know
everything about it, but one like kind of refreshed myself
a little bit. So I watched like the first four
or five episodes. I literally cried twice on stream. Oh,
I'm like, guys, what a terrible day for rain?
Speaker 2: This is This one was definitely a tear jerker. Yeah,
I loved I love that we got to focus more
on Nami because we didn't really get to see much
of where she came from, why she's doing what she's
doing up until like now, this is.
Speaker 1: Definitely her art. This is definitely her art. She was
introduced in Orangetown, but this is her arc.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Up to this point, she was just kind
of like, you know, sassy and kind of mysterious motives
is like why she helping the arlong part? Like what's
going on with that deal?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmm.
Speaker 2: I will say if there was one problem I had
with this arc. It was definitely the pacing.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's gonna be a common theme for sure, and
it's still decent a get it does kind of get
worse as a ghosts, but it does. I think with
every arc it gets a little bit longer, a little
bit like more drag, like dragged out and stuff, especially
if you're watching the original, you're not watching one pace
or anything.
Speaker 2: Like that for sure. Yeah, I was watching the original
and there were like some points I was like ready
to put it on like one point two five one
point five speed just to kind of get through it.
The fights were definitely pretty long, especially the Zoro and
sanjy ones, where it was just like a lot of
just the same frame for a few seconds and then
another frame for the next few seconds. So it definitely
felt a little bit unnecessary, but honestly, I don't really
mind it. It was just probably one of the few
problems I had with this arc. But overall, I really
loved the characters. We got to see a lot of
growth from Nami. I really love that a lot of
it was also focused on the town itself, which I
felt like you didn't really get from the live action.
You get to learn more about Genzo, and you got
to see more Nosico and her relationship with Nami, and
I loved that there were almost I feel it wasn't
two episodes, maybe an episode and a half that was
focused on Nami's backstory and how Bellamir found them and
you know, they're growing up and all of that. So
that was really enjoyable for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, watching that was one of the two Joker moments,
was that backstories is so well done, and just watching
Bella mere kind of sacrifice herself for her two kids,
just like to feel like it's a family and like
not be like live this false lie or whatever. It
was a beautiful moment.
Speaker 2: I agree that one. Oh my gosh, I wish it
made me kind of wish the live action focused more
on it. But I also understand that, you know, they
only had a short amount of time in episodes that
the original anime didn't get like I think.
Speaker 1: They did get. Yeah, they did an okay drama the
live action, but I think this is the one that
was like the like the least accurate or like this
the most rush right.
Speaker 3: In terms of the length of the actual manga arc
versus how they trans You know how many episodes of
God and Stuff. I think it is definitely the most rushed.
Speaker 1: Well, there's like thirteen episodes in the anime, and I
think they did it in about two in the live action,
so they had to cut out half half the content.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I will also say that as a manga guy,
the pacing is an anime issue, it's not a manga issue.
So if you're getting confused, Poseidon is watching the anime,
but if you're reading the manga, it's much pacing is
I think absolutely great.
Speaker 1: However, one positive to the anime is you get the
moments where Belamir sacrifices herself that's so sad, or the
moment with Nami asking Lufy for help that like the
music is playing, and that music is added so much
more emotion and attachment to the scenes. So pros and
cons for anime versus manga for sure. Posidon, I want
to ask you, so, where would you rank this arc
compared to the rest of the arcs you've watched so far?
Speaker 2: You know, I really love Varti my Goat, Let's go.
I think Varti A probably is still my favorite now
that I'm like sitting with it. Our Long Park is
definitely in the second now. Yes, yeah, those two are
definitely fighting for first. But I think between the two,
I enjoyed Brattier the most. Still enjoyed r Long Park.
The fights were really cool in Arlong Park. I think
it was cool that we got to be introduced to
the fishmen. I don't think prior to this you got
to see any other kind of like races from this world.
M hm. You got kind of a little taste of
the Mountain Zumi, the marine mouse guy, but we didn't
really get to see like the fishmen and all of
that sort.
Speaker 1: No, that's so funny, isn't that. I don't I think
just might be a normal human with weird facial hair.
Speaker 2: You think so, I don't know, it's like a hybrid.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe maybe beuth guy is just a mouse guy.
Oh no, but Mary might be a hybrid. Mary might
actually be a high But I feel this mouth guy
is actually I don't know. I'm gonna look it up.
That's so funny. But yes, we've got the r Long Pirates.
We have to see the fishmen in action. I'm gonna
look this up. I'm so curious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're good.
Speaker 1: Keep on going gamer.
Speaker 2: I thought it was really cool about the fishmen race,
how we're introduced to them and them having like certain
different traits, how they can, you know, breathe underwater, they
can actually be stronger underwater. And yeah, I really if
I had like a favorite character that was specific to
this arc, it was definitely Hatchy.
Speaker 1: You like, let's go.
Speaker 2: I love Hatchie. I thought he was so silly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's funny. The comedy that is there, like he's
asking Zoro his name and then he just like cuts
him off and says, I've already told you my name.
It's Hauchy, Like you're just so silly and goofy. And
guess what. There's no Hatchy in the live action I know.
Speaker 2: And that's why I was like, oh man, I really
wish they put this guy in the live action because
he's so funny. But I also understand why they would
cut him out.
Speaker 3: But totally expected to have Poseidon biased towards the fish people.
I love my love my fish people.
Speaker 2: I do love my fish people.
Speaker 1: I think this marine is just a dude.
Speaker 2: I think he's just guy.
Speaker 1: I don't know, or he might be a hybrid. I
don't I don't. I don't know, I don't know, chat
look it up, fact check it. I find it's so curious. Also,
where do you rank Arlong in regards to villains? Get
it to the other villains.
Speaker 2: I think he's number one for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair.
Speaker 2: Don kreeg It definitely does not compare to our Lung
in my opinion, Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: Me and Wasi are like very much the same page,
Like Baranti and Arlam Park are pretty neck, and I
slightly prefer but I feel most people actually tend to
prefer Arlong Park. And I understand why because Arlong is
definitely a better villain and we both agree on that
as well.
Speaker 2: Oh what a hundred percent. It almost kind of makes
me kind of be like, was don Kreek really the best,
like strongest guy in the East Blue when there's our
Long Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he I feel like he like Arlong loaded
Like Okay, I'm not gonna get into the power scaling terms,
but I feel Arlung would absolutely kick Don Creek's ass.
Like no, I think the difference is just like Don
Creek had like five thousand men or something like when
he comes back from the Grand Line, he like doesn't
have the men that he used to have, so he
just used to outnumber everyone in the East Blue and
then he had all like these cheap tricks and all
these different weapons and stuff. But I think in theory,
if if he if him and Arlong went at it, Arlong,
do we just wipe him out, oh one hundred.
Speaker 3: Person And and also Morgan was a liar to he
like embellished, you know, his whole thing. But obviously Mehawk
clears them all, but he's not really a villain, but
he clears them all.
Speaker 1: Adam, I have a question where what is your favorite
arc epist at this point?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's hard because it's obviously either either
Barati or Park.
Speaker 1: I feel like if brought it's probably.
Speaker 3: Arlong Park because of the you know, the payoff and
everything like that. In terms of the live action, I
think Brontia was better, as I said, because Park was
really rushed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Brote was really honest. I'm not sure
Broti was kind of non existing in the live actions.
I feel like they kind of messed up both these arcs.
But I do want to say, like if it wasn't
like me Hawk versus Zoro and Brote kind of brings
it up a couple of notches for me.
Speaker 2: I agree. I think that was what it is for
me too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's true. That is probably the highlight of
the live action for me.
Speaker 1: That's true exactly, although I will say that the.
Speaker 3: Namy straw hat moment is strong in the live action too,
and in the Mangra in my anime of course.
Speaker 1: All right, Posidon, do you have any like standout emotional moments,
stand out funny moments that you want to talk about.
Speaker 2: The one most recent memory, because I actually finished it
the other day, was the pinwheel on Ginzo's hat. We
got to see why he has that pinwheel. It's like
throughout the whole arc, you kind of see Louviy like,
oh my godness, that is so cool. Why does he
have a pinwheel on it? And we finally got that
explanation as to why. And it's basically, if I remember incorrectly,
when Namy was a baby, she did not like Genzo.
He thought she thought he was scary, so he put
the pinwheel on his hat to kind of distract her
and make her laugh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very cute.
Speaker 2: Also, it's so adorable and to see at the end
where he they put the pinwheel at Vlamere's grave with
the tangerine. That was like one of the moments that
really locked me.
Speaker 1: And you get to see a Nami's tattoo as well,
I believe.
Speaker 2: I don't. Yeah, she commemorates Genzo and Velamir on her tattoo.
Speaker 1: Honestly, Like Oda is so great, I like from them.
So there's the one really funny and stupid moment right
where Loofy is walking by Genzo and like the Marines
and he just like starts sweating and like looking at something.
I'm like, oh my god, why is he so shocked?
And he's like, oh my god, that guy's got a
pin wheel on his hat. Where do you get that
pinwheel hat? Like it's so cool and like you think
it's gonna be a throwaway thing, and then it applies
to like the backstory with Nami and then it like
then they put the pinwheel on the grave and the tattoo.
It's like the smallest little detail of a thing ends
up being so relevant. And I think that's what like
Oda does so well. He likes to connect things and
turn something small into something so much bigger and greater.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oda, Like it just makes me kind of when
I watch, like knowing that Oda does this, it's like
I have to hold on to every single little detail
because I don't know if it's gonna matter in this arc,
it's gonna matter like in the next arc or two arcs.
So I'm just kind of like, oh my god, the
mind games. I have to be able to pay attention.
But it was really sweet. I really loved that moment.
Speaker 1: Apparently Gonzo wasn't in the wasn't in the live action,
so that's sad. I don't even.
Speaker 2: Remember was he He was there for like one scene
because I remember Genzo was like when they introduced the village,
he was there, but I don't think he really got
any spotlight at all outside of that. So I understand
like maybe like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were on time constraints, but it is sad
like the fact that like that was on the first
moments you pointed out that you really thought was adorable
and cute and like well ridden, it just shows like
it is sad that they didn't include it. But anyway, Preseidon,
you're you're gonna talk about in another moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think everybody can agree with me on this moment,
but the moment where Namy is like stabbing herself and
cursing Arlong for basically up at this point and as
me takes all her money, she confronts Arlong and is like,
you know, why did you why did you send him?
I know you were working together. And she's upset because
all that money that she earned in those eight years
is now to waste and now she's cursing our Long
and lou she's the only one left in town because
everybody went to go basically try to fight Arlong and
she's cursing him, and Lufy is there and she's she's
trying to push him away, and then she kinda is like, Lufy,
I need help, like please help me. In the moment
where Loufy puts his straw hat something that means so
much to him and gives it to Nomy to help
kind of strengthen her, it like was another tear jerker
for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so good. It's such an a MultiMate moment.
You see her stabbing hersel and you're like, you're like,
feels so bad for her everything she's been through. And
then Lufy shows up and he doesn't even know what's
going on. He didn't even care to listen to Nojiko's
back like when Nojako explained the backstory, because he doesn't
care abut people's past. He knows nom he's a good
person and he considers her a friend and that's all
that matters. But he comes in and obviously no he
is like very emotional and like kind of trying to
reject him and throw him away. But then that moment
of like letting him in and asking for help, and
while she's crying, it's just oh man, that's the second
moment that made me cry to Yeah.
Speaker 2: Because up until this point, Nammy has never really asked
for help. She's always wanted to do everything on her own.
She doesn't want to trust people. So this is the
first like moment you really see where she opens up
and is vulnerable to somebody else.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, she finally has friends that she can rely
on and like that are there no matter no matter
how much she tries to do it alone. Which is great.
And I like that you touched upon the straw like
the hat moment as well, but go ahead, Ada.
Speaker 3: Mac, Yeah, I just want to say, like the whole moment,
it was kind of the peak of the entire Arcy emotionally,
because we see how much Nami has sacrificed, right Like
she she literally saw her mother killed before her eyes
by this scumbag. But then in order to protect her
sister and the rest of the village, she like sucked
it up and for like eight years served under him,
took his shit, you know, cheated and stole from others
who were innocent, did all this stuff you know that
was shady or the greater good of saving the village.
And then all of that stuff that she was working
hard for, so hard for and you know, sucking it
up so much is taken away from her, and the
village is going and they're all going to get themselves
killed anyway, after all the work she did I to
try to protect them and to buy them out and stuff,
and she's just like completely broken, like a completely broken person,
which is you know, it's just interesting. I think it's
really cool. And then you have kind of loofy stepping
in it, and then you know, picking her the pieces
of her up and being like you know, you, yes,
you kind of lie to us and all this stuff,
but none of that matters because I know that inside
you you're good and you support us, and you've been
with us, and you know, you're my crew, even though
even though they met pretty recently and she lied to
him and all this stuff, you're my crew.
Speaker 1: I love that moment, you know, I feel like he
I highly respect the fact that like he's there for her,
like you said, but also he didn't want to meddle
with what was going on until she asked, right, Yeah,
I respected that a lot, Like I think that's a
mark of a good captain and a good friend. There
he's not overstepping where he doesn't belong until the moment
she asks, and then we get the epic walk to
Urlam Park.
Speaker 2: My gosh, yes, certain.
Speaker 1: Men are coming fucking what are their names? Oh my god,
the two bounty hunter guys or they say like certain
men are coming and then you get the walk. It's
so good.
Speaker 2: There's definitely an epic moment. I will say during this arc,
Soanji and Zorro are now like fighting for my favorite character.
This did love Sanji a little more. You get to
see him his showcase, more of his fighting ability, which
is awesome. But I also kind of thought it was
funny how he's like arguing with Zorro about Nammy, about like, oh,
I love her, I'm doing this for her, like I
wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her. Like you know,
I just thought he's so silly in this arc with
his love for Namy. But I also thought he was
so badass with his fighting style. For sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great to watch Sondi fight again, but
I think Zora also had a pretty good fight as well.
Speaker 2: Oh one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: And did you see how wounded he was?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I thought it was funny at the end
of the arc he's with the doctor and the doctor's
calling him an idiot for not like getting it all
his wounds like patched up. But I thought it was
so impressive how he was still able to put a
really great fight despite how wounded he was from the
previous arc.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just like I think I would. It
just has to do it for a little while at
the early beginning one piece, before the enemies get too strong,
because I think Loofy and Zoro are actually pretty similar
in strength, especially very early on, so they're like, we
can't have two like Loofy level characters. We need to nerve,
we need to nerve Zoro. Let's let's make him get
cut in half by Mihak real quick.
Speaker 3: By the final boss, Loofy himself is going against R Wong,
so he's like R Long level. So then if you
have another R long level guy, it's too hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I honestly I think if if Zoro is full strength,
I think him and Arlong are probably a good match.
I don't know who would win for sure, but I
think it's possible, right, Yeah, I think Zora could could
have could have taken it. The only thing is Lufy
is just so much more like durable and resilient. He's
like the amount of a beating Loofy takes and he
just keeps on going.
Speaker 3: Is always crazy because he has.
Speaker 1: Because he's a devil for it.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: What else? So Zoro's fight very bad ass? You I
like that you liked Sonji's fighting style, and you're starting
to love Sandi as well, So it's neck and neck
for you for who's who's your favorite?
Speaker 2: Yeah? At this point it is because the last ark
when Baratti finished, I'm like, I think are still my favorite.
But now that I got to see a little more
a Sanji outside of his like little arc and his
dynamics with the other characters. I'm just like, okay, okay,
I can see why a lot at this point, a
lot of people's favorite character is Sanji.
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's not forget about our boy Osop
and his fight. It's such a funny fight.
Speaker 2: God, honestly, that might have been one of my favorite fights.
Like in this arc. I just love I don't remember
the fishman's name, but I remember he's the blue one
with I think the blonde true two. There we go.
I just it just so just to show like USAP
is not a fighter, but he's clever and knows how
to his trickery and stuff like that. Because if those
two were to fight, obviously two's gonna win, right those
he's so much stronger. But I think it's cool that
USAV got to take advantage of his environment and use
like the trees to hide and trick him, and you know,
using his what is it sling shot? Is it right? Yeah?
And like using different type of bullets or whatever those
are called, right him and eventually defeats him, which is
really impressive.
Speaker 1: I think it's like, it's it's funny watching him go
from like super cowardly to standing up to super cowardly
to standing up, and like, it's also cool seeing him
strategize because he's like the normal human of the group.
Zorrosanji and Lufy are fucking the monster trio. They're like
they're genuinely monsters. It's like me and Usop are more
human and more normal. So watching Usop take out one
of like the leaders of the Fishman pirates, is this
so great to see it? You gotta be so pumped.
And it's like funny as well. You got to see
the rubber Band of Doom and the and the and
the USOP hammer, USOP hammer and rubber Band of Doom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oda does it really creatively in a funny way.
And I liked the part where you know Usap has
been established to be a coward when and especially when
it comes to his own safety, but then when it's
time to protect someone else, he actually steps up. Even
when even when he's scared, he like steps up to
protect someone else. It's almost like that is more important
than just his own safety. And I thought that was
like a nice touch about him as a character.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I completely agree. What else? What else
do we need to talk about well, also we have
Loofy versus are along that actual fight.
Speaker 2: Ooh yeah, I tind of took note that this was
actually the fight that I feel like Lufy struggled the most.
I feel like he struggled amongst everybody, right, but against
our Long. You can see that Lufy is getting his
ass beat, like he doesn't know how to deal with
like his fishman stuff, like him ripping out his teeth,
and then Arlong being like, oh no, they just go
back like you can't really do much against me. But
I really like that once Loofy kind of understood what
Arlong put Nami through, that's when Lufy was like, all right,
I need to kick your ass now because this is
not okay. And basically Arlong being like she belongs to me,
she doesn't belong to anybody else and all that. I
thought their fight was really cool, and yeah, I wish
it happened a little sooner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the pacing is the one thing that
I think you're pointing out to be the flaw of
the series, and I think that's completely fair. I think
what's great is so Lufy's all about freedom and Arlong
is trying to like is obviously taking away Nomi's freedom
and trying to own her and possess her and stuff
like that. So one great moment and I would love
to hear how you feel about this. Is like Lufy's
final part of the fight against Arlong in Nami's room
and you were saying there was a moment where he
kind of clicks for Loufy like what Arlong put him
put her through, And it was in that room and
then as you're fighting, you just see like the desk
go flying, the charts being ripped up and out, throwing
out the window, and you get to see Nami's reaction
to that. I think it's absolute gold.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think what did it was? I believe
the pen. You see the pen that Nami uses to
draw all these charts, and it's covered in blood. Yeah,
And I think that's when Lufy kind of clicked and
was like, oh my god, this is what he's been
putting her through. This is not okay, like and I
feel like that was such an emotional moment with Lufy
just looking around seeing all the charts, like there was
stacks and stacks and stacks and stacks of charts that
she has made for r Long and he didn't. It
just felt like a jail cell. And I think he
even said that that this is basically a jail cell.
And then he can't keep her like this.
Speaker 1: He breaks the dude's fucking knows and hits him with
an attack that destroys all of our lung park.
Speaker 2: Like it's so it's so hype, it's so epic.
Speaker 3: And I think it's pretty safe to say that if
Arlong was a YouTuber, you would have gotten canceled on Twitter.
Speaker 1: True, true, uh dude, honestly, Like I kind of forget
how much of a villain Arlong really is, Like no,
I mean bellamir want he pays for the two children,
and she he just slaughters her right in front of
in front of Nomy and Nodrico, right, no mercy, and
then he the man of his word when it comes
to business. But then he's not beyond fucking making the
Marines go and steal the money and then joking around
with the boys and saying, yeah, maybe I'll let her
go free. Once he charts the entire fucking world and
starts laughing like an absolute menace, And I think I
think a good villain, oh one.
Speaker 2: Hundred percent I feel like out of all the villains
up to this point, he is the most well like
written and most complex, Like you see his motives and
you see how he treats other people.
Speaker 3: How much do we know brings about the fishmen up
to this point.
Speaker 1: So they did reveal the fact that Jinbay is a
warlord of the sea and he has some connection with
Arlong and Arlung came from the ground line to East Blue.
Anything else that you anamak.
Speaker 3: No, because I was just gonna say it's interesting in
the context of Arlong and kind of his motivation visaly
humans versus fishmen, But I don't know if that would
be spoiling too much.
Speaker 2: Kind of mention it, Like throughout the arc he was
mentioning that fish men are always going to be superior
to humans and that they should be the ones running
the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's clearly like not even that he thinks that
are like fish men are superior, which he does think
that absolutely. It's clearly a hatred that he is showing
towards humans, like he looks down on them and has
a hatred towards humans. And I think that's something that
you definitely want to take note of for the future.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's also part of the reason why he
treats humans so poorly, because he almost sees them as
cattle or something, you know.
Speaker 2: Which makes me kind of like maybe predict almost that
there was some sort of maybe prejudice from humans to fishmen.
And that's probably I'm taking guess why he's acting the
way he is. But I mean, I'll just have to
keep watching.
Speaker 1: You have to wait and see. You have to wait
and see. But I think that's a that's that's a
that's a good guess. We are. Then next week we're
covering We're gonna try to cover two arcs, so they're
very short arcs.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: I sent it to you, like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's up to episode six.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we are covering Logtown and Reverse Mountain, and
I center the episodes for Longtown and Reverse Mountain. There
are there's like a filler arc in between this arc apparently,
but I don't even think I've ever watched.
Speaker 3: It, Like I I tend to Reverse Mountain is not
a sex position. That's what I thought.
Speaker 1: God damn it.
Speaker 3: I also thought that initially, but it's not. It's the
name of one arc.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, bro, I will say I want to
mention there was one line that made me laugh so
hard at this arc. I'm watching it in the English
dub okay, just because you know, it's easier for me
to process what's going on. But there was a line
that Zoro said, well, Loofy was fighting, are along? He
says if he dies and refers to Loofy, I'm going
to kill him. Yes, yeah, if he dies, it's simple.
But Zoro, how are you gonna kill him if he's
already dead? So hard?
Speaker 3: I'm not just saying that as a joke. By the way,
the whole thing, like the reverse Mountain thing, Like I
when I first heard that, it reminded me of reverse cowgirl.
Speaker 1: And I literally I bet you've talked about that in
the episode when you were the Virgin. Probably I wouldn't
doubt it like you like I would have.
Speaker 3: But I'm just you know, I always, I always go
back to that because that's the kind of humor that
I'm into, obviously, you know, grade grade five type stuff.
Speaker 1: Yes, Penis jokes. Also you said, Penis, Oh my goodness.
Also one funny moment that I thought was really funny,
and it's something that I appreciated about early one piece
sense of humor, so Sondre Loofy and one of the
two bounty hunters fucking Johnny and Yosaku. I just can't
remember which ones which. Anyway, they're on their way to
Urlong Park and they're talking about fishmen and they're talking
about mermaids, and you get Loufy's drawings of different fishmen
and it just it's just so fucking funny. It was like,
he draws a version of a fish like on all fours,
and then draws a version of a fish with standing
up and so she's just like the only difference is
that's standing up now, and like if the fishman just
like looks like a fish with arms and legs, and
then sods like, I wonder what Noami would look like
if she was a mermaid, and he has like his
fantasy about her, and then you just see a quick
cut Tolufy being like she'd look like this, and he
has his drawing but with fucking hair and he just, dude,
I literally almost spit out my drink today. I completely
forgot about that.
Speaker 2: It just goes to show that Lufy still has that
child like.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, is very like he has battle intelligence,
and he has a certain form of like emotional intelligence
when it comes to like, you know, his hisncomer and
like friendship. But in many ways he's very much like
childish and you know, innocent.
Speaker 1: What other good moments were there? There's like, so after
the Arlon Park ended, they had a party, who stops
telling these magical stories and lies about what happened and
how he took down the pirates.
Speaker 2: So good he was trying to get everybody to cheer
him as captain. That was really funny.
Speaker 1: And Sanji's literally trying to flirt with every girl possible Zarls,
you know, drinking and sleeping the usual. And then at
the very end, Nomi pickpockets everyone, which is so good, which.
Speaker 2: Is, yeah, that was funny. I wasn't expecting that. But
you can kind of tell the town is it's they're
almost like okay with it because it's just kind of
her thing, and it was like her basically send off,
like this is the last thing I'm gonna do to
you guys. I think they're gonna cover it in the
next episode because I finished at forty four. But I
did notice that they did bring some of the tangerines
onto this ship for Nami. I saw it like the
very last frame where you can see she's on the
ship and the bushes of tangerines. I love that they
did that for her. I know they did that for
her in the live action, but I noticed they did
the same thing in the anime. Another moment I really
liked was a kind of a flashback. It was more
so like about the tattoos. How when it was Nojiko
and Nami when they were still kids, and Nami got
the tattoo as a kid and she was super upset
about it. So later on, Nojiko gets a tattoo and
kind of brushes it off, like, oh, it's just a tattoo,
so not me, doesn't feel like alone. I really loved
that moment as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's wholesome as well. Honestly, Nodico and Nami's
relationship is so nice, and you get to see it
in the flashback from the very beginning. Nodico saves Nami's
life after whatever disaster and they become a family when
Bellamir kind of brings them back to Kokoyashi village and
time and time again they bicker, but they also like
just have this like wholesome and and like loving family bond,
sister bond. Yeah, it's great, It's so great.
Speaker 2: One of my also favorite moments from the last episodes
was not Me I believe she has all the money
in the house and she's talking to Bellamir, her ghost
almost like your spirit in the house, saying, how you
know I did it. I save the town and I'm
finally gonna fulfill my dream of you know, traveling the
world and drawing charts and you know, visiting all the
places I want to see. And you see Balameir is
almost like spirit or ghost in the house with her,
and right when non Me is about to leave the house,
you see the hand of Bellamire kind of push her
out of the house, almost like a send off, like
get out of here, explore the world. This is what
you've always wanted. And that was another one of those
really like heart wrenching moments where I'm like, oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great, it's so great. A mac Any any
final thoughts on your on your end about our lamp Park.
Speaker 3: No, I think it's as good as I remember it.
And this is really like baratin Arlock Park is when
I really got into one piece, like when I really
saw that this was, you know, what everyone was talking
about one Piece, because before I started it, everyone kept
saying how great it was, and you know, over and
over and over again, and to me it was like
mediocre animation. I didn't really know the stories. I was like, okay, whatever,
and the first few arcs were fun but nothing special
compared to you know, a bunch of other anime I love.
But this is when I really started seeing that, you
know that this is the sauce, This is the secret
sauce coming out that people we'll keep talking about him,
this is why they love the show.
Speaker 1: How about you? Besaid? Any final final thoughts on one
Piece of a hole on Our Our Lung Park, Our.
Speaker 2: Lng Park was a great arc. I'm really glad that
this is uh Razzi is what really hooked me in,
But like Our Along Park was like, really, what is
making me want to continue watching? Because at this point
now I don't know what's going to happen moving forward because.
Speaker 1: Any any predictions, yeah, yeah you have. You don't know
what's going to happen because the live action covered to hear.
Speaker 2: So I do remember at the end where Lufy is
talking to the doctor, they're talking about, Oh, we need
a musician. Oh no, you guys need a doctor. So
I'm really hoping that the next person that comes in
is a doctor. I don't know if that's a hint
towards Okay, we're going to be looking for one now.
So I'm looking forward to somebody else joining the crew.
But other than that, I honestly don't know what's gonna
happen next. So I'm really looking you know, you.
Speaker 3: Know Lufi's priorities. His priorities is stuff like music, not
basic things like health.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like that you're you're thinking about that, like,
because I feel like Oda does drop little things, and
he said he like he mentioned things and it might
not be for another thousand chapters, but usually things that
are mentioned are mentioned for reason. So I'm happy that you're, like,
you're paying attention to those little conversations that otherwise could
be irrelevant to other series.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was definitely something I held on to. Like,
all right, so who's next, the musician or the chef? Like,
I'm really excited to see who else kind of joins
the crew, but I'm excited for no Mey to kind
of officially be a pirate. Yeah, because at this point
she's like denied it. She's like, I'm not a pirate.
I'm just I'm just traveling with you guys. You guys
are I'm not going to stay with you guys at all.
I'm just using you to get to where I need
to go. And now she's officially accepted, like, no, I'm
I'm now part of the strow Hat Pirates.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so I'm just like, you can use me
all you want, dude.
Speaker 1: I love doing the one piece version. I must say, like,
it's so great to see the perspective from someone watching
it for the first time and see the excitement or
hear the excitement in Poseidon's voice. Because when she started
off with Seer Village and Orange Town and Romance Dawn
and then brought tian Arland Park kind of working up.
I can just tell like the amount that she wants
to talk about the episodes, the little detail she's picking up,
and the excitement in her voice with every arc kind
of increased a little bit, and this one you were
just like you're like just ready to talk about it all.
I loved it. That was so good.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I'm so excited to watch the next yeah, arcs.
Speaker 1: If you want, we could try and aim for next week,
if not the following week because it is less episodes.
They're two very small arcs. Like one of the arcs
is like three episodes.
Speaker 2: Okay, and it's it's Logtown and Reverse Mountainers.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and then.
Speaker 3: Logtown is just.
Speaker 2: Something we if we can try two weeks because I
am my actually heading out of town.
Speaker 1: Oh then yeah, two weeks a.
Speaker 2: Few days, so it might be hard for me to
squeeze in all those episodes before I go. But I'm
really excited. I'm I hate to even say it. I
even got into like the one Piece TCG.
Speaker 1: I played it today. I played it today. I'm so
in fun. One of these weeks after one Piece version,
we should.
Speaker 2: Play Oh my gosh. Yes, I disgustingly have been playing
Blue Nammy. That's really I mean.
Speaker 1: So I'm doing I'm doing a progression series with Teking
one on one right now. So we're on week two.
So I ran what did I run? I ran Kido
week one, which is or I think it was Kaido,
which is weird that it's in the first set, but
it was. And I ran Zoro week two as my leader.
Like the green Zoro. Yeah, honestly, it's it's it's such
a good I think it's a combination of like Pokemon
and Magic the Gathering.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely scratches that itch of like re source management, ye,
because that's what I enjoy in card games. But I'm
at the end of this week, I'm picking up one
of the new starter decks that's coming out, And because
I started with Green Utah, that was my very first
starter deck, and she's getting another starter deck at the
end of this week that kind of goes together with
the first one, So I'm picking that up, and then
I'm also building Rage You, and I'm like, oh my god,
this is bad.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, is spoiling characters. That's okay, that's okay.
Speaker 2: I will say there was a card in the Nami
deck that did come from our lung park. It's a
card called Usop's rubber Band of Doom has a picture
of him shooting the rubber band at and it's really funny.
I'm like, I looked at him, like, oh, this is
our lock.
Speaker 1: You're like, I get the reference. I get the reference.
Speaker 2: There's another one where Sanjy's Pelf from Varatier as well.
So it's it's fun. I'm really excited to keep playing,
but I'm also trying to ignore almost like the like this.
Speaker 1: Just don't think about it, don't think about the cargo.
Speaker 2: Think about it. That's exactly what I'm doing. Just don't
think about.
Speaker 1: It, all right, boys. So on the fifth of November,
we're aiming for we are covering Lobtown and Reverse Mountain,
and then we're finally you know, I can't say it,
I can't even say it spoiling. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoyed.
