Speaker 1: Yo, What is up?
Speaker 2: Boys?
Speaker 1: How's it going? And welcome back to another episode of
the One Piece Virgin Podcast. Today we are covering two
of the earlier arcs. We're covering Whiskey Peak and Little
Garden with the the One Piece Virgin herself, Poseidon Mythos.
How's it going?
Speaker 3: Hello, I am doing good. It's been a hot minute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a month, right, Yeah, it's okay, we're back.
We're back. It's good. It's good to be back. Good
to talk about one Piece. I'm excited. We got my
co host Animac from Yo Yo Yo, and we got
Charles Black Yollo, what's up everybody? Or Jordan the anime dude. Sorry,
it's just so funny seeing our different names on Discord.
I like covered my mouse over your thing as I
was doing the intro and I see Charles Black, I'm like,
what a throw?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely forgot that was the thing. It definitely
made introductions with all Poseidon here. A little different is Jordan,
but also Charles but also the anime dude, but also Jordan.
Speaker 5: Come up with your own intro. Bro, you can't just
use two spookies all the time. What what?
Speaker 4: What is two spookies. As far as what did I
say yellow? I thought that was Briggs.
Speaker 3: That was me.
Speaker 5: No, but you did it in the in the too
spooky voice.
Speaker 4: I thought I did my voice.
Speaker 5: But okay, Stund even your voice.
Speaker 4: Book, you probably got it from me.
Speaker 1: It's so sad. I can't remember spooky the intro. I
remember it saying how's it going, boys? Or how's it
going guys? And welcome back to another episode? Like I can't,
I can't get it. I was like, what's the first line?
Speaker 4: I was like, I know, I didn't say that, so
I was too The yellow originated with Briggs.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty yeah, okay, sorry, but the one piece virgin
and this is what happened, we got the boys back together.
I miss it.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you this much. The whiskey mind be peak,
but I kgnac, so I'm not interested.
Speaker 1: Nice all right, general thoughts, Besidon, how you liking one
piece right now?
Speaker 6: So I'm obsessed. I love one piece so much?
Speaker 3: O god it.
Speaker 6: This arc, these next two arcs, I did enjoy one
more than the other, but okay to that. But I
just want to let everybody know right now, I have
probably spent approximately five hundred dollars on one Piece cards
already for the CCG. I have been just obsessed with
the game. I can't stop playing it, I can't stop
learning it, I can't stop buying the cards.
Speaker 3: And I will have I'm honestly gonna blame you guys.
Speaker 7: Introducing me to one Piece, because now I am I'm
also playing the TCT and it's been so much fun,
and I am I'm just having a great time.
Speaker 3: This has been fun and I want to keep watching.
Speaker 1: This is what makes the one Piece version so great.
I love seeing someone fall in love with the one
Piece world and now even more so like the card
game as well. That's great, that's great.
Speaker 6: It's genuinely like such a good card game.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. I love how technical it is too.
Speaker 6: I like getting into like the nitty gritties of like that,
like technical play when it comes to a card games.
So it definitely satisfied that it's for me because Pokemon
can get technical, but one Piece I feel more satisfaction
when I play the game, you know what I mean.
So yeah, now I'm going to I'm gonna be going
to local soon. The next set's coming out.
Speaker 2: So for one Piece, Yeah, that's awesome, dude, do you
have a guestimate on like how many hours you've earned
on them?
Speaker 6: The TCG so far, I can probably confidently say like forty.
Speaker 4: Now, I just know there's few addictions scarier to me
than that of children's trading cards.
Speaker 5: Okay, Pasona, you can't blame me for shit. I don't
even play trading cards. I will speak to one piece.
So now I've spent five hundred dollars on cards. That's not.
Speaker 4: This thing called the Gateway.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was the gateway.
Speaker 1: Okay, So starting off, you're so I'm happy you're obsessed
with one piece. You said you like one arc more
than the other. What do you mean by that?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 6: I really enjoyed Whiskey Peek. It was I kind of
wish it was a little longer, a little garden. I enjoyed,
but it definitely felt like a drag like it it
was a little long, and I was just kind of like,
can we hurry up? I understand we to hit the
twenty four minute mark on these episodes, but some of
it just like felt a little bit like it was
just prolonged way longer than it needed to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the classic piece anime. Yeah, pacing does tend
to get worse with every episode or with every arc.
I think the pacing does get a little bit worse.
But I'm glad you still liked both of them and
you just like Whiskey Peak better.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was silly.
Speaker 6: I kind of my favorite part of Whiskey Peak was
the whole Zorro fighting everybody.
Speaker 3: It was like a game to him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like he wasn't taking it seriously, which I thought
was so funny. And up until this point, I think
Zorro was still my favorite character. Uh something I was
kind of like a little not disappointed by, but kind
of wish.
Speaker 3: I wish there was more.
Speaker 6: Sanji was more sony in both of these arcs. He
was kind of Mia for most of it.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, he was in Whiskey he enjoyed himself too
much with the ladies and had too much to drink
and passed out right. And then we had Zoro kind
of defending the crew during that moment. And then I
think even in Little Garden, he wasn't really part of
the main fight. He was off in the background doing
MVP activities.
Speaker 6: Yeah, here's everybody fighting, like the giants are fighting Baroque
is fighting, the straw heads are fighting. You know, they're
turning into wax. And here's just Sanji just like going
through the forest, just having a good time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he does have some cool scenes from the background.
But that's definitely something you'll notice in certain arcs. Some
characters don't get much time to shine, especially as you know,
the cast gets larger. Yeah, but you know what, at
least you get to see some good old golden Zoro
moments because he's your favorite character.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: God, he was so funny and whiskey peek. I found
myself like laughing so much because of Zoro. But yeah,
the second the Little Garden arc.
Speaker 1: Before we want the Little Garden An Jordan, Do you
guys have any thoughts on whiskey peak that you guys
want to mention When you guys are like that, you
remember if you remember anything.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just want to translate for people in the South,
whiskey Whiskey Peak is the is the arc that we're
talking about.
Speaker 4: Yes, I know what whiskey is. I got I got.
Speaker 5: Whiskey, but no, I just remember the VV thing.
Speaker 1: That reveal Yes, not like freaking you don't different and manga, right, no, no, no.
So it's actually very cool because you see her in
reverse mount er, you see her in the beginning of
Whiskey Peak, and she's fully playing a role. Even her
voice sounds different, her face has different like facial expressions,
and then once you get the reveal of the fact
that she's the princess, it's really cool to see her
like kind of flip one eighty yes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I thought that twist was really good when
I was first reading it, like and like in like
the whole Whiskey Peak, the whole like them being like
conned by Baroquirks and stuff like that. But then obviously
there was more layers to it, and with vv and
Alabasta being introduced, as you know, they got to take
her back there, right, I thought all of that was
really really cool and back when I first read it,
and so, you know, I don't know what the animal is, like,
I know, like Posidon was saying, there's stuff that's really
dragged out, but I thought it was like a nice quick,
like not much more lighthearted arc than say, you know,
some of the Arlon Park or stuff like that, but
a nice quick kind of intro to the new world.
We're exploring after Averse Mountain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's definitely cool to see them in the
Grand line, going through like a couple of smaller islands
of all the arcs before, like the big gigantic ones.
Come mm hmm, any any thoughts.
Speaker 4: Shortan Yeah, Whiskey Peak was very quick, very short, but
honestly one of the most memorable little little points for me,
little checkpoints. Not only do you get to see Zoro
fight everybody I know she said that was one of
her favorite fights probably thus far, but we also got
to see him fight Loofy for the first time, and
how stupid that reasoning was was one of my favorite
little conversations. It's like, these people fed us, they gave
us food, they fed us, and you're gonna fight them.
You're gonna beat them up. You're the bad guy now, Zora.
That just that mindset whenever you just woke up, very understandable.
Speaker 1: No excuses what they're But they're bounty hunters, then why
would they give us food?
Speaker 4: Exactly that, plus the introduction of some of the most
iconic powers in the series, I mean the boogie bomb, Like,
I don't know that that changed my perspective on anime
right there at the Gallo was able to control her
own weight, isn't That's like one of the most ideal
powers you could have. You're like, oh my god, eight
two burgers today, it doesn't even matter. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: And he on Zoro versus Loofy beside.
Speaker 6: Him, So I that was probably one of the moments
that I was really like dying at because you see
Loofy he just had a bunch of food. He's like
kind of still like waking up. He does not want
to hear any He sees all these people on the floor,
potentially dead, and he just sees Zoro there, like, oh
you did all this?
Speaker 3: Why would you hurt these people? They fed us?
Speaker 6: And he just does not want to listen, which I
think is so loofy of him, you know, it's very loofy.
But I thought that fight was kind of fun because
you get to see basically two best friends kind of
battle it out, and I think it's the first time
you kind of really see like the straw hats kind
of going at each other.
Speaker 3: So that was that was interesting.
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen that often, but what it's always it's
always interesting, I mean, other than like Zoro and Sonjay
because they bicker and fight all the time. But in
regards to like I think like some slightly more serious
fights like this was. It was big and also it
shows like how close in power Zoro and Lucy are
in early One Piece, like they were kind of evenly matched.
Obviously maybe they weren't going one hundred percent serious, but
it was still probably were still probably close to going
all out. And it does show. And even when Zoro
was taking all the bounty hunters, they're like, oh shit,
the government must have got it wrong. This guy must
be the captain.
Speaker 4: One of my favorite things about that Zoro fight not
to backtrack to it too much and stuff. Uh, but
there's so many fights and shown in and even in
One Piece and stuff where you know, just it's quick.
It's like power ups to the quick or the stronger
person wins Zoro versus everybody. I feel like there was
a lot of like hit and run tactics, Like he
was going through different buildings. He was like, hit these
three guys, avoid getting shot. Here, kicks stuff up the block,
hut guns. I don't know. It felt like one of
the more like grounded fights in the series too. Even
though it was like one view one hundred or whatever.
Speaker 1: If that belmore grounded is hilarious, Yeah in a way. Yeah,
the actually and the movement of it, like the way
he moved a round this town.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he didn't just swing his sword once and then
all one hundred are gone, right, Like it's just it
was stuck to it.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see how they do that in the
live action. Speaking of the live action, one difference beside
it is at the beginning of the live action early
on when we meet Zoro, he he kills someone. He
cuts a dude in half. He does that's a member
of Wait, I'm allowed to reveal that?
Speaker 5: Fuck?
Speaker 1: I think I am.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was mentioned, right because I remember during the
anime he's like, I know what Baroque Works is. They
tried to recruit me.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, so it has been said. So I think
it was mister seven or something like that. He killed
a like a top ten member of the baroqu Works
when they were trying to recruit him. But that happens
like off eat in the anime, and they added it
to the live action so we could see it happening.
And then that's how he knows who brokes are broke
works is m so I think that that was a
cool addition. What else? Two things I want to say
about whiskey peak. One, I think the giant cactuses the
giant cactus but they're actually all tombstones is cool. And
what was the guy? What was mister five? His power
that like any part of his body can or can
can become an explosion or whatever is super underutilized. Like
it's actually like I feel like, give be a really
powerful devil fruit and he just thought decides to flick
burger boogers.
Speaker 4: That I disagree. I think that was the optimole usage.
I've never thought if power was funnier since uh, I
can't even give examples because all like the few that
I think are better all later on in one piece.
There's a few that are just gems. But come on,
boogie bombs. That's peak. That is whiskey peak.
Speaker 1: Imagine if he got good at actual hand to hand combat,
but every punch through explosive or like he got good at.
Speaker 4: Like that's just boka go with extra steps, Baco.
Speaker 1: With extra steps, or good at like spitting at people
get flicking boggers Like I wonder if you meant mixed
like like drank water and mixed it with the saliva.
If you could like shoot like beams at people, explosion beams.
Speaker 4: See, that's the thing. You can't You can't overthink it brings,
you can't be experimenting you. It's gotta accept it.
Speaker 1: Any final thoughts on Whiskey people before we move on boys, I.
Speaker 6: Think the reveal of baroque works being like this huge
association was kind of really cool, and I think it's
gonna start setting up for more things to happen down
the line. But going back to the whole VV reveal,
I will be really honest, I did not really think
that she was going to be part of this like
crew for some time. I kind of I thought, miss,
she's Wednesday, right, Sorry, I'm like starting with Wednesday. I
thought she was more of a throwaway character in the beginning,
but it was a huge shock for me when it
was revealed she's a bigger She's gonna be a bigger
character moving forward.
Speaker 4: Is this the giant duck bias or.
Speaker 3: I love cars?
Speaker 6: But yeah, it was mentioned, but I actually did take
note of after the reveal, It's like she's a whole
different character, Like she drops the act. She's more, she
looks different, she talks differently, like I'm watching it in
the English dum and I noticed right away like after
she gets comfortable with the straw Hats, they know what's
going on. She's trying to get away because they're after her.
Now it it's a whole like character shift, and now
you get to see the real her and how much
like she cares for her or kingdom. So I'm really
excited to start getting into that. And something I also
took note of is now the steaks are really ramping up.
You went from you know, the straw Hats kind of
saving a family or a person right kaya to going
to saving a town you know, not.
Speaker 3: Orange Town, park village or something like that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then now they have to go deliver, not deliver,
but take vv back to a kingdom like a whole country.
So now this is starting to ramp up, and I
think that's really cool to see how the straw Hat
crew can start handling this.
Speaker 1: So and like we get to reveal that the leader
of this organization that's trying to take over the kingdom
is a warlord. Oh yeah, Cubukai whatever they call it
in the English, it's warlord, right, and which is we
know Mehawk was also a war or so like the
steaks are getting higher, the enemies are getting more powerful.
It's really exciting.
Speaker 6: Also, my favorite revealed, Miss all Sunday gets revealed. She
is now a character, and I am I'm not gonna lie.
I kind of like I knew about her before this.
Speaker 5: I am very the cards.
Speaker 1: She's she's.
Speaker 3: I'm down bad at.
Speaker 5: Playing card.
Speaker 6: Sorry, I get out of it.
Speaker 4: Just curiousity, what is the what is the blue Eyes
White Dragon or the charts are of the One Piece
Card Game if you don't mind my asking, like, what
is that super rare one that they I'm.
Speaker 1: Not obviously, dude, dog like my favorite card.
Speaker 3: Oh god, I.
Speaker 4: Was assuming it'd be like or something, but I didn't.
I don't know.
Speaker 6: So one Piece Hat the TCG have like these rare
cards called manga cards, which are like alternate arts of
like some regular cards.
Speaker 3: So you know how like you have like a regular
card and then like a rare card super rare. This
is like the super super rare version.
Speaker 6: Some of them go for thousands and thousands of dollars,
like only one out of thirty six booster boxes have
a manga rare, so it's it's manga panels of the characters,
and I believe each major character in one piece right
now has one. So those are the kind of quote
unquote like super rare cards.
Speaker 4: Cool than the manga itself.
Speaker 3: That's wild is they're really nice. Though, what is.
Speaker 1: The meta kurrent? Like, what's like a meta leader right now?
Speaker 3: Ah? Black Loofy Black Loofy is the main of my existence.
Black and Yellow Loofylallow Loofy.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, we just have black lu think of like
powers and stuff.
Speaker 5: Like, because like a Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3: Fan definitely get that vibe.
Speaker 5: That's the only that's the only American football reference I
will ever make.
Speaker 1: But I'm so proud of you.
Speaker 5: It's because of the song Black and Yellow. That's the
only reason I know. Okay, okay anyway, So in terms
of Little Garden, that was the first time I realized
that ODA was just like, fuck it, I'm gonna have
fun with this manga by getting them into like the
coolest locations, like totally different islands. I have this whole
thing where the weather changes. I have just islands that
are isolated where and then this one I'm gonna have
a prehistoric fucking dinosaur island, and then I'm gonna have
different islands with totally different like themes and cool shit
that I've always wanted to do and explore. And that's
what this manga is gonna be about, visiting different extremely
cool locations that shouldn't exist but do in this world. Right.
This is kind of like the first hint of that.
And and I mean, I think that's one of the
reasons why One Piece has been able to stay fresh
for so long and popular, because they're constantly changing settings
and introducing new characters and stuff that are very different
and different genres almost you know, like a Western versus
a horror versus a history in your ancient dinosaur stuff
or versus like other stuff. Right. He can always freshen
things up by changing delocation.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, even to the modern day, every island we've seen
in the Grand Line has been very distinct from from
one another.
Speaker 5: It is very cool to see exactly, and I mean
especially now with where we know we are currently and
with you know, Dori and Brog you being introduced here,
it's very like nostalgic, right, Oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy not to get into it that like
recent arcs that were covering in the one piece version
are relevant twenty years later, like it's fucked.
Speaker 4: Yeah, eh that And this is I'm sorry not to
cut you out. This is like first time I think
that aside from maybe Barratier and Arlong Park, like those
two kind of coincided going on from one to the other.
But this is like the first time you've had like
a saga that's covering multiple islands, like back to back,
right where you have like one fruit piece storyline, but
it's yeah, it's carrying over from place to place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's through. The sagas are going to get longer
here where or the arts in general are gonna be
like leaning up to a bigger a bigger thing I've
put that didn't pointed out, like the stakes are getting
higher or going to a kingdom now and we're going
to islands along the way.
Speaker 5: Yeah. And the way I like the way that I
would have kind of justifies it by saying like, oh, yeah,
because you know, the Grand Line itself is so isolated,
and because the weather patterns are so wild and stuff,
you can have these kind of untouched islands, like a
prehistoric island that still functions, you know, like if the
dinosaurs went extinct everywhere except one island on Earth. It's
kind of like that, which is, you know, pretty pretty
cool world to create, and then it gives you so
much freedom to do whatever you want.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if the idea is that, like humans are like
able to touch upon any like all these islands around
the world, but in the Grand line, it's so hard
to go from island to island that they could be isolated, right,
especially if you get to Little Garden. You have to
stay there for a year to even travel anywhere else
unless you have a whatever what what's it called the pose?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: There, there's there's like a constant pose versus the current
long post.
Speaker 4: And I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 5: There's different ones, there's different types, and certain ones are
more difficult to get.
Speaker 1: Between me, Jordan and Animac. We should be able to
remember what these.
Speaker 4: Are called, the eternal post eternal pose. Oh my god,
that's so bad makes place. Man, I'm bad with names
of things, so I'm the wrong guy to ask.
Speaker 1: Okay, Briggs, Yes, the same, because I did. Thoughts on
Little Garden, some favorite moments, some things you didn't.
Speaker 3: Like, the right moment. I really actually enjoyed the two
giants where is it? I remember their names.
Speaker 6: I had with the tip of my brom Brogy Broggy
Broggy BROGI one of the two Froggy. They were two
very endearing characters. I kind of love the whole concept
that they were fighting for years, but uh, I really
loved those two the addition of those two.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 6: And then we get introduced to Mister three and his
companions and Miss Golden Yeah, so he he We get
introduced to him, and uh the whole fight ensues between
basically the baroque agents versus the straw Hats, and uh.
Speaker 3: I honestly, I thought mister threes like power was.
Speaker 6: Kind of ridiculous, like being able to just shoot wax
out of himself and turn people into wax.
Speaker 3: I thought that was funny.
Speaker 1: The powers are going to get more and more ridiculous
as well.
Speaker 3: I'm not just sing we.
Speaker 5: Got Boogerman and what about what about the booger napalm attack? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh gosh.
Speaker 6: And I really like Miss Golden Week's powers to being
able to just like paint and change people's emotions, like
that whole little scene where she painted like black paint
on the ground and Loofy's like, I could help you,
but I don't feel like.
Speaker 5: It's black Loofy.
Speaker 2: Ha ha ha.
Speaker 6: Uh uh.
Speaker 1: It was cool seeing that, Like you mentioned you liked
the Dorian Broggies fight. You thought that was really cool.
I love that you saw how much it inspired inspired. Yeah,
you like them. He wants to go to Elbaf to
meet these like these brave warriors of the sea. He
wants to become a person like them that has a
level of honor.
Speaker 5: I thought that was cool too, because it's so different
from what you know. Usup knows his cowardly so he
really respects these like warrior culture people who were like
fight for honor, sacrifice their life for honor. He's just
like kind of smitten by them because he knows he's
not like them.
Speaker 1: Hopefully one day he will be.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I liked that h Ushop got a little more
time during this arc. He uh, he manned up and
was actually like doing stuff, which was It's fun. I'm
I think I'm coming to like Usop a little more
and more at time goes on in the most episodes
I watched because USAP was not really my favorite, like
going into one Piece he was just kind of there
for me. But now it's like, okay, I can see
why people really enjoy OSOP.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But yeah, the very like normal dude amongst the
crew of like over the top crazy monsters. Someone in
chat brought up in these episodes, we also saw Kobe again, right.
Speaker 3: We Oh yeah, that a little two episode arc.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to see Garp basically beat up I
mean train train Helmepo and Kobe. M that's a that's
a big difference between the live action and and this anime.
The live action Kobe and Garb were still present, and
then in the anime like you here and there sprinkled in.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm what else?
Speaker 5: What else?
Speaker 3: What else?
Speaker 1: So you talked about the fight, you talked about Mister
Three's powers. We don't want to forget about Soanjy, you know,
saving the day by getting the eternal pose and lying
to mister Zero aka Crocodile m hm.
Speaker 5: Oh, and also Zoro making a cool pose before he's
about Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 1: He was willing to cut off his leg too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, He's just like, oh well, if I'm gonna be
turned to wax Statro might as well, you know, strike
up a cool pose, which I respect.
Speaker 4: Can you imagine dying that way and not striking up
a cool pose like that would just be losing twice.
Speaker 5: That Yeah, exactly, it's true, it's true.
Speaker 4: But beside, I know you mentioned you liked whats and
how involved he was in this arc in particular, how
familiar are you with D and D? I guess just uh, just.
Speaker 5: Probably a little bit.
Speaker 6: Have only done two one shots in my entire life,
but the fascinates me. I won't when I have more
time on my hands, I definitely want to do more
and learn more about like D and D.
Speaker 4: I know Briggs are a resident effort or our resident expert.
I don't have much experience with it myself, but when
I hear people describe it, I feel like every one
piece Island is almost like a little mini D and
D campaign in and of itself, where all the characters
go off, they'll do their own thing. They're just kind
of chaotic and like I said, I don't even remember
what who stopped did, but Sanji's over there doing his thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah. Fighting and the log posting where you have
to wait a certain amount of time. Also, it's kind
of like, oh yeah, I have to wait a certain
amount of time perfect to have an adventure and then
and then we leave. So it's not like, Okay, we're
just gonna go to this island, resupply the food and
water and just leave. It's like, no, we have to
an adventure first, have about arc, and then we go back,
then we go further.
Speaker 1: And so that's actually so funny you say that because
I played One Piece D and D, like we did
a D and D version of One Piece, and it's
actually so true that you say that, Like the log
post is up amount of time to like fight a
battle and go on a little adventure. That's great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a narrative device that really.
Speaker 4: You got to separate the party, give everybody their moment.
But I felt like I was building up to a
question with that, but I don't quite recall. But regardless,
I guess what are your thoughts on the approach that
these recent arcs have taken comparison to before that, Like
as we skip more people in the crew, they're all
off doing their own thing, Like any thoughts there or any.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm just kind of wondering and very curious because
I truly do not know what this is all building
up to. But it's just like, I guess, as we
start going to these islands and stuff like that, I'm
like keeping notes of everything that's happening because I know,
I know some.
Speaker 3: Of it is going to really matter.
Speaker 6: Like there was one particular like I think somebody mentioned
it in chat, but I took note of it when
I watched like the last episode of this little arc
of Little Garden I and you don't get you guys
don't have to tell me, right, but there was a
scene where you know, Nomy after they broke out of
the wax.
Speaker 3: You know, Namy doesn't have her shirt on, she has
a bra on, and there was a specific bruise that
was on her and I forgot who asked. I'm pretty
sure it was Zoro who asked, oh what is that?
Are you?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 6: Okay, you know, and she goes, oh, no, it's just
a bug bite, but you could tell that it was
something more. So I don't know if that's going to
really matter, but I like took very like note of
that specific interaction, and I'm like, oh, okay, she's she's
down playing this thing, and it's very obvious that it's
not just what she's saying. It is, So I'm going
to keep noting of that for like the next two
hundred episodes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some stuff is going to be relevant, you know,
and like very shortly, and some stuff is to be
relevant literally right now in the moment. It's fucking crazy,
Like right now in the manga stuff is relevant. It's
actually nuts. But yeah, I'm glad you're taking a little
note of little things. Also a little thing that I thought,
I think is funny or like good writing on Otis's part,
Like it's not super important, but the arc starts off
with this like dick measuring contest between Zoro and Sanjy.
They're just bickering, We're gonna go hunting and I'm gonna
get the bigger, the bigger game or the bigger like
the bigger, bigger animal. And then that's what the fight
was all about between Dor and Broggy, and those two
mountains that are structures on the island are actually get
the bones of the sea kings. They took out that
little like starting and ending with the hunting contest is
just like a nice touch.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm assuming you notice the bones and like the
last thing.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, there was one particular interaction that I thought
was funny. At the end, I forgot which giant said it,
but it was something about the goldfish and how they
were like, oh, we're one sitting on poop and stuff
like that, and like I remembered, it reminded me of
Whensop was telling a very similar story to Kaya about
how he like was fighting a goldfish and like like
something about poop and island, and I thought it was funny.
Speaker 3: That was just like, oh, so he was joking.
Speaker 6: With Kaya about that happening, but the giants, for them,
it was actually happens.
Speaker 1: The reality I'm reference I was.
Speaker 4: Little thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like immediately he.
Speaker 6: Was like, I'm pretty Suresop said this, and I rewind.
I'm like, oh yeah he did.
Speaker 4: People be calling my boy a liar, but I say
it's called speaking the truth into existence, you know.
Speaker 1: Out there, I mean, people have had theories that like
all of his lives will end up becoming true throughout
the series and stuff like that, So we got to
pay attention. Even even I almost want to go back
and listen, to go back and see what his lives were.
Speaker 4: Yeah, did he really have I can't get on this
island disease or so.
Speaker 1: This isn't specifically for Poseidon is more for ad and
I know he makes theories. The two giants mention a
blood stained snake that their swords couldn't penetrate or couldn't cut,
and that was like the only thing they couldn't cut.
They knew they would they would go to cut anything else.
And then someone in my chat said something cool about
it like being the red line, which I don't know
if you've heard that, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's an interesting thing. Yeah, because you know,
the idea that something might happen that the red line
is obviously a big theory in the community years.
Speaker 1: But just rewatching this arc and seeing little things, it's
it's it's great. What else?
Speaker 5: What else?
Speaker 1: What else? I feel like it's cool in early one
piece seeing them travel from island to island because and
like dealing with like you know, a giant dolphin or
inclement increment weather or crazy weather. The theol's gonna sleep
through and then they all get mad at them, so
they have funny moments. But it's also just cool watching
them as a crew go from island to island versus
I know in more recent one piece, it's like they've
done that a million times, so they kind of like,
I feel like they don't show it as much. This
is nostalgic for me. Any final thoughts, guys that we
want to, oh, actually becide, I want to ask you,
do you have any ideas of where this is going,
like of future things? You kind of touched upon it already,
but yeah, any theory, any ideas of what's coming next.
Speaker 6: I know that this is all going to lead to
Albasta at some point because they have to, you know,
take VV there to try to save her kingdom. Right,
I don't know how many pit stops we're gonna be
taking before we hit there, but I am assuming that
if we are, if the straw Hats are going to
be going against such a large organization head headed by
a warlord, that this is going to be something much bigger.
But yeah, I I honestly do not know what to
expect coming next. Because this is the grand Line. Anything
is possible.
Speaker 3: At this point.
Speaker 6: We have Dinosaur Island and all this, all this waggy
stuff happening, So I honestly have no idea what's to come.
But I'm really excited. I think, if anything, I'm more
more excited to finally see that Miss all Sunday is
now going to be stepping into the light and being
more involved with the story because she is a character
I've been anticipating for quite some time, and I'm I'm
I'm just overjoyed to finally see her in action now because.
Speaker 3: I'm done bad. I'm dumb bad, I'm done bad.
Speaker 1: There's so many little things you notice upon upon rewatching.
But even like when what's what was VV he's like
right hand man or protector guy.
Speaker 4: He was number eight eight, I don't remember the actual name.
Speaker 1: Number when he like sacrifices himself and the ship explodes
and it's that sad moment you see a bunch of
like hands, a bunch of hands right before that, and
I just don't remember that being a thing. So that
was a cool little thing, and I won't touch upon it.
You'll just maybe remember that going forward.
Speaker 4: Was his cool wig? Also guns? Or am I making
that up? I feel like that was a cool thing.
But also I could just be completely he had.
Speaker 1: A he had a a saxophone that shot bullet and
in his saxophone in his wig, he also had guns
that shot.
Speaker 3: It was peak character design.
Speaker 4: If I love the hair in this series, like how
many characters there are and how bad I struggle with names,
Like mister three is one of my favorite characters. I've
never forgotten which number he is. Yeah, I don't know
if you have any thoughts on character designs or anything.
Speaker 5: Come on that.
Speaker 4: That hairstyle, it's.
Speaker 3: True, it's true, definitely unique.
Speaker 4: Whiskey peak.
Speaker 1: Yeah, whiskey peak. Honestly, one piece is peak. I'm excited for.
Oh my goodness, gracious, it's not something over. Although the
best is when Mister eight dresses up as VV and
it's like, yes, this will definitely fool them.
Speaker 6: He has the little sacks with like faces on them
to try to replicate the crew.
Speaker 1: Anyway, guys, next not next week. I guess in two
weeks from now, we are going to be covering the
next arc. I won't even say the name of the
arc because that is also a spoiler, but it's gonna
be covering episodes seventy eight through ninety one. And that's
that's about it. I hope everyone enjoyed. Everyone checkout Poseidon,
check out the anime Dude on Twitch, check out anime Uproar,
check out break Me Hi. Okay, that's about it. Guys,
