SPEAKER_05

Yo, what's good, y'all? Welcome back to another episode, episode 21 of the Pornoglyph Podcast, where we decode the world of One Piece and anime one Pornoglyph at a time. I am your host, J aka Milky Way J here with my brother, my co-host, back at it again. Ja, what's up, man? Yo, what's up, brother? How you feeling today? Feeling good. We got some good stuff to cover. Yep, yep. So on today's episode, we of course are diving into the latest anime world news. Um, got a few things to talk about. It wasn't a lot, but I think we can get some good conversation from some of the things I've seen. So I'm excited about that. And then we're gonna dive straight into our manga mania segments where you know we talk the latest One Piece chapters, and we will be reviewing last week's and this week's most latest chapters, chapters 11, 75, and 76. So, jam pack episode, that should be very, very exciting. If you're here with us live, make sure you leave a like, especially if you're coming back watching the bot as well.

Um, been a little inactive with the posts, but they will be coming by the plenty, and our communities over there on the socials, they get active in the comments sometimes, man. Some some debates definitely get sparked up. So go check us out over there, PNG Pod or Poneglyph Podcast on the socials as well. And get in a convo sometimes. Um, so without further ado, let's dive straight into our anime world news. First things first, One Piece. We gotta, we gotta, we gotta get it out the way, man. We gotta get some of this stuff out the way. So uh huge milestone for One Piece and Um Oda on uh his manga on the manga side of things. One Piece's manga has officially surpassed 600 million copies in circulation worldwide after 28 years outpacing Superman's equivalent milestone achieved over 88 years, as verified by recent announcements.

SPEAKER_03

Crazy. Officially on paper.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, does it go?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, and and and I don't want to hear anything about oh, it's been 28 years, he's took a thousand chapters to do it. I don't care. I don't care. Keep all that noise over there because in real life, like we're comparing it with the Superman is now. These have been going on since what the 30s stuff like that, like come on, man. Like you can't deny greatness and what the impact of One Piece and Oda has made on on the world, man. It's a huge milestone nonetheless. We can't take it from them. We can't. So not at all.

SPEAKER_03

Um I just want to throw this out there real quick.

SPEAKER_04

It's not it's unrelated to the news, real quick.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, go ahead.

SPEAKER_04

Last episode was uh was a milestone in itself. I don't know if we really covered it. Episode 20. I'm hella proud.

SPEAKER_05

20 episodes.

SPEAKER_04

We made it. Yeah. It's first milestone, you know, another little milestone down. I just want to keep it up throughout the year. A lot more to talk about and to go over and shit.

SPEAKER_01

So yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_04

I was talking about that. I seen that today. I was like, oh, I didn't even cover it. I didn't even talk about it last week, I don't think, or the week before last week.

SPEAKER_05

We didn't even talk about it. That's crazy. Crazy to think about. That we've uh, you know, it started with a conversation, we were able to put it together, and now we 20 plus episodes in. And I mean, we just gonna keep checking them off the list, man. Just keep going. We're excited to keep this thing, keep this thing going. We've been seeing a lot of engagement. Had some people in our live chat recently. Um, a lot more people coming in in tune with us and stuff, so gotta keep rolling, man. But yeah, 20 episodes. Huge milestone for us. Alright. Oda reportedly wrote The Secret of One Piece and the true fate of Luffy on a piece of paper and sank it to the bottom of the ocean.

SPEAKER_02

Crazy.

SPEAKER_04

Y'all, if y'all haven't started if you haven't thought about it, if you haven't really sat down and really thought about it, it's time to assemble the crew, guys. Yeah, I'm starting my crew up. I already sent a couple invites out, and they're gonna, you know, I'm waiting for them to be accepted and everything, but we on. This the internet police was really on that.

SPEAKER_05

They like and all we gotta do is wait for them to get it right, and we just be pirates and take it. Who can I agree though? I'm gonna just have it deflex. We we'll burn it like Frankie. But Frankie knew I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna get spoiled. You know I'm not with the spoilers, man. You you could pick all you want.

SPEAKER_06

I might take a beat.

SPEAKER_05

But I'm gonna hit you. I'm gonna hit you with the railing. You better not say a word. You better not say a word.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Start with assemble crew. Get your crew together, guys. See you on the seas. I see like a couple broke down breakdown videos of it. People looking at the bottom of the ocean. Uh there's like Coast Guard that took it out there and stuff, like the certain Coast Guard for the certain area, and the clouds that day, and all that stuff. That's crazy. Um, I wonder if they're relatively close in in the same area as the one piece is, but hey.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, for sure. Um, I seen Speed said he's gonna do a one-piece hunt stream or something like that, treasure hunt stream. Looking for it. I I I seen I seen I didn't see no videos, but I seen like the um some posts where people are like, okay, well, we have to assume it's somewhere off the coast of Japan because he and then they're like trying to break down like the from the videos, like the the waves, how the current was, and then the the angle of the video. So they they work they working at it. They can do all the hard work. Yeah, right. But um it's interesting. Oda's Oda's a funny guy. He he does uh little quirky stuff like that to that really I think as fans we we really enjoy it, but it's it's it's just funny because it's he stands out with with certain things like that as a monoka.

SPEAKER_04

Like jumping into like real life stuff, that's W promotion, bro. Like what? Get more people to shit just got real.

SPEAKER_05

You got I mean you got huge One Piece fans like Speed and Mr. Beast, you know, they'll do anything for to to to go find it. I'm sure that they'll do it, so um nonetheless it's it's it's promo.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

At this point, speed's probably a couple more one one piece related things to having a sit-down pivot at this point.

SPEAKER_05

Hey, he gets the only person who's approved to like watch it live. No, no filter, no nothing.

SPEAKER_03

As is he'd be getting all the the loopholes we have to go through.

SPEAKER_05

It's all good, we'll get there. We'll get there. They'll see how much we love it. And what what we could eventually bring to our community. That's that's that's the important part, I think. But alright. Demon Slayer Infinity Castle winning awards, man. Has won Best International Animated Film at the 2026 Saturn Awards. I just always, anytime I see awards and stuff being appointed to anime, I gotta, I gotta tip my hat. I know you I know you you a little tired of the Demon Slayer stuff because you're not you know hit to it, but you can't deny Saturn. Saturn Awards. I'm I've seen this multiple times in my news feed. So I assume they're they're they're they're somewhat known. But I mean I don't really know any of the besides like role awards and stuff, but salute to them. Um I hope this recognition just sparks other franchises to continue to take this route.

SPEAKER_04

You have a lot of stocks in in Dream in Demon Slayer. Who me? Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

I mean as we as we talked over the weeks, you gotta you got your stocks, you gotta get them out over there with them.

SPEAKER_05

In the in in the movies, yeah. And and and I became uh a stronger Demon Slayer fan, more of late of the later seasons. Um the last season was the trainer art, which it was cool, but it wasn't like too too much action. Um but propelling into the movie. The movie was anticipated, lived up to the height, and it set the stage for part two very well. So I've been ever since I really went to go see the movie, that's when I was like, okay, we got something here. But I've always liked uh like I got Akaza tap on my leg, like I've always liked Akaza and stuff. I've liked different aspects of Demon Slayer. Yeah. I mean it's not even I don't know where I I would rank it. Personally, it's not it came out really good.

SPEAKER_04

It came out really good, so yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Um yeah, shout out to Demon Slayer. Kohei Tanaka, longtime composer for One Piece, says he created a large batch of brand new music specifically for Elbath and poured everything into it. He even teased Loki's theme, promising something grand in scale and epic and atmosphere. I'm not gonna lie, it seems like everybody's all in for Elbath, and I love it.

SPEAKER_04

I mean, yeah, we're here. This is the final saga, we got introduced as the final saga and everything.

SPEAKER_05

On top of that, side note, that this isn't in my notes, but we're officially within 30 days of the anime coming back. It's crazy, it flew by. It did. Everybody was like booing it. I never I was like disappointed because well one, we just started the pod and it was like that was a big thing in our pod. But two, I was an anime watcher every week, so I I I did miss it. But I think this break was needed, especially animation-wise. Yeah, facts. And this like, yeah, when Ja was originally watching, we were stuck on hiatus. Yeah. Yeah, man. That was I mean, it was it was smooth because it gave Ja the time to catch up. And I low-key wish I re-watched in that time span. I was watching so much at that time though. Um I'm in one of my rewatch.

SPEAKER_03

You flew, J.

SPEAKER_05

I flew. I mean, there's been some months now that I'm thinking about it, because I was definitely watching it like I remember being in Alabasta and stuff and maybe like October. At least two months ago.

SPEAKER_03

Two, three months ago, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

No, it was end of the year.

SPEAKER_02

End of the year, damn.

SPEAKER_05

I I'm remembering who I was hanging around at the time, and I was still watching. I mean, there's there's been some some pauses and stuff, but for the most part, like, I've just been knocking it out.

SPEAKER_02

Most of it, yeah, just start a wano. He um Luffy just knocked out, he slapped up that uh sumo wrestler.

SPEAKER_05

The warden chief of the he wasn't the he was like the he was just the top sumo wrestler, and then the warden chief was the dude with the Oh now he's pulling, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember the lion pulled up who had Otama. Yeah, I'm getting sidetracked, but it seems like everybody's all in on um Elbath. Like even the composer is is out here making remarks.

SPEAKER_06

I was gonna say when you first brought it up, I'm like the composer of One Piece. Everybody got I'm on a One Piece job. Yeah, like what's all over at One Piece, yeah. Japanese though, probably.

unknown

Alright.

SPEAKER_05

I'm I'm not his piece in Japan, right? His name is Kohei Tanaka.

SPEAKER_06

I'll like do I like to do reskin. Oh yeah, right. Reskin's wild. No, that's no, that was that was outrageous. I'll give it change my username. I'll be alright. That man said re skin.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, you're funny, man.

SPEAKER_05

But um he even teased Loki's thing. I didn't hear any teaser. Maybe I'll do some research on the on that. But because Loki's Loki's rising to my character my top characters in terms of oh favorite characters, I won't say top characters. Which he he is in strength wise, somewhere up there. I think.

SPEAKER_04

Ooh, the anime is gonna be like I I I'm I'm enjoying him as he is in one right now, it's cool, but like I need a real introduction. I think once I get that be like really sold.

SPEAKER_05

I want to s I want to see everything looking up at Loki. Like even the bit some of the biggest like we're we we we go and we see um what island were they on fighting?

SPEAKER_02

Dorian Braggie. Uh Little Garden? Little Garden.

SPEAKER_05

And like we're just like, yo, these are the biggest dudes. And then like I just want to see, because we progressively we've progressively seen big creatures. Obviously we've seen Zunisha and stuff, but to be able to, I don't want my. Speaking of Crunchyroll, I got some bad allegations here.

SPEAKER_04

Right? Yeah, I'll bring it up. I'll bring it up at the end of this guy. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Crunchyroll is facing a US class action lawsuit for allegedly sharing users' private anime viewing data, including email addresses, device IDs, and watch episodes with marketing firm Braze without consent. Plantifs are seeking $2,500 per violation per user, which could total billions.

SPEAKER_02

I can go get my trick.

SPEAKER_05

That's all I'm saying. How is it divvying this out?

SPEAKER_04

Bro, whoa, I didn't expect you to say something like that.

SPEAKER_05

Damn. Because my my my thought process when I see this, they say $2,500 per violation per user. So in your head, you're like, okay, $2,500 for country roll. Then it says which could total billions. They gave out that much information.

SPEAKER_02

That's easier than not. That's crazy. On top of on top of the price going up monthly.

SPEAKER_05

Right, yeah, we did talk about that. They're raising the price. That's probably why they gotta fund a law for it. They would make us pay for it again. Dang. That's why I got 35 people on on using my crunchy roll.

SPEAKER_06

I thought that's what you're gonna say. They're gonna uh they were cracking down. I was like, no, not Netflix again.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, let's not give them any ideas. Yes. Next segment. Cause if they wanna raise if they wanna make more money, that's that's that's a way to do it too. Netflix got me with it. I used to be on my homeboys till I moved out here then.

SPEAKER_02

Disney Plus started doing it.

SPEAKER_05

I done on my people's on my parents Disney Plus, I was on I was I was using theirs for for a while and it like I would have to pretty much tell every time I got on, I would have to tell it that I'm away from home. The other day I was going to watch some Star Wars, but I clicked it, it said, You've used this, you've used your away from home too much. You cannot not use it. I had to get I had to get my friend Disney Plus.

SPEAKER_02

Damn.

SPEAKER_05

But man, crunchy roll, get it together. Y'all look y'all is y'all is falling apart, man. I'm I'm I'm I'm considering taking my talents to somewhere else. Where?

SPEAKER_06

There's places I've done some research. They won't be on the seas pirating. Across the web trying to find what we need to watch.

SPEAKER_02

I get old quick, bro. They do, but and don't let it don't let the pop-up start happening, bro.

SPEAKER_05

Oh Netflix got one piece though, don't it? Netflix got one piece. Hey, Crunchyroll, get your stuff together.

SPEAKER_06

Man, I'm on Crunchyroll every night, man.

SPEAKER_05

That's what I'm saying. Me too. Some of them gems on there that can't be replaced. Exactly. Some of you can't watch nowhere else. I mean, except the C's.

SPEAKER_04

Except the C's. I'm not trying to get on the C's, man. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

It is old.

SPEAKER_04

I got a couple more boys who do that.

SPEAKER_05

I do too.

SPEAKER_04

I can't can't even get down like that.

SPEAKER_05

Happy eighth anniversary to two of the top New Gen anime. Solo Leveling Manwa came out on March 4th, 2018, and JJK manga on March 5th, 2018. That's crazy. Yeah. I didn't realize that solo I thought solo leveling was like a 2019-2020 manwa.

SPEAKER_02

When did I bought the I have the first volume? 21. 21. It could have been.

SPEAKER_05

It could have been 21. I can't remember when I bought that. But I I thought it was.

SPEAKER_02

No, I bought it before the show dropped. The show dropped in 21? Oh, you just said 23, I think. 2026 right now. So you probably bought it on 22. Yeah, maybe. Because I bought it probably like half a year to a year before the show dropped.

SPEAKER_05

I just heard hype about it. I seen it in a store. I was walking past it. I'm like, oh, this is the first one. Got it, read it. That's dope. Didn't get no more. But I was I started watching the show.

SPEAKER_04

No, yeah, I mean, uh I had to couldn't take it anymore. I scrolling on TikTok seeing all these Jenu edits, I had to rewatch the fight again. The second season.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

It was so good.

SPEAKER_05

But eight years going strong for uh both. I know they're both potentially coming to a end soon. I'm not too sure about well people talk like solo leveling's almost almost done.

SPEAKER_03

It ended the mama ended, right?

SPEAKER_05

It might be close, but don't quote me on that.

SPEAKER_02

I don't I I'm not a hundred percent sure. But uh Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Currently we have a chicken coop and uh currently one of the sorry my mom just walked in and is feeding the chickens and one got out. My stepdad had to chase it down and grabbed it just now.

SPEAKER_05

But anyway. They're going crazy out there. Um yeah, shout out to those those two franchises definitely running new gen.

SPEAKER_02

As that's all those those are two shows that you know a lot of people got their eyes on.

SPEAKER_05

So for a good reason. Yeah, oh definitely. 81 years ago, Momotaro, the Japanese animated film that helped lay out the foundations for modern anime today, officially premiered. Momotaro.

SPEAKER_03

Why does that sound so familiar?

SPEAKER_05

I think they've redone something with Momotaro recently. I think so. Don't don't quote me on that either.

SPEAKER_02

But as I was researching this, I I was seeing some more recent recent like images, at least it looked like.

SPEAKER_05

Japanese animated film.

SPEAKER_02

Eighty years. Yeah. So definitely I wonder what uh the US one is. The first one we did. Yeah. Probably around the same time.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, it probably is around the same time. I w I'm wondering what it could be. Like if if it would be anything.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah, ooh.

SPEAKER_05

Probably something we never heard of.

SPEAKER_02

Princess or something.

SPEAKER_05

Princess Princess was a random pull. I wasn't thinking that.

SPEAKER_04

I was saying like Disney early movies. Uh that princess movies just came to my mind.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, interesting. Um, the author of Inuyasha has publicly shared her perspective on the role of AI in creating work, drawing a clear distinction between AI output and human-driven manga creation. She states that AI as a system learns from what already exists, while true manga is defined by the act of creating something that did not exist before. She emphasized that storytelling and artistic expression are shaped by human emotion, intention, and lived experience elements that cannot be replicated through data-driven generation. I'm not gonna lie, I I've been trying to, I know we've been talking about AI a lot in these world news and and a lot of these creators and uh authors and artists that have been discussing their stance on it, but this was probably the most well said one yeah, she might really laid it out there. Yeah. Um I've never been like on the side of AI in that aspect, but if there was any type of division about stances on it, this should should clear things up.

SPEAKER_02

Because this is the truth about AI and trying to mix it with creative stuff.

SPEAKER_05

And the way she put it to where it's just taking all stuff from what already exists, because that's what AI, AI doesn't have an original thought, it just is able to research everything very quickly and give you the best thing off of that. So it's gonna have some sort of elements from different things, whereas even if people do something along those lines, but it's more so inspired by something, but it's still original, it's still creative from a human element side, because you're able to put a real life experience into it, you're able to put a real emotion into it.

SPEAKER_02

At this point, I'm wondering like, is it gonna slow down?

SPEAKER_03

Is it gonna stop?

SPEAKER_04

Or is this just gonna fully like, yeah, there's gonna be division with true creativity, and then people who use AI to enhance their creativity, but like where is the line really gonna be drawn, or is it just gonna keep growing?

SPEAKER_02

Um I kind of feel like it's gonna keep going. Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_05

It's gonna keep going. I was having this conversation in a group chat. Um I don't know if you you seen the messages at the time, but having this conversation with a few of our friends about AI as a whole and just the idea of we uh in our mid-20s are we kind of got to experience every stage of technology thus far, like up until now. Once technology really started booming in the in the early 2000s, like obviously there was phones and stuff, TVs, movies, but like once yeah, once technology really took that leap, we experienced every part of it. We've seen we've seen you know the evolution of a cell phone, we've seen the evolution of TVs, and how quickly AI has hopped on the scene and taken over is quicker than anything that we've we've seen thus far. And how great the leap is, bro. I remember the first phone my parents gave me at for like emergencies was like like it wasn't even like a foot phone, but it was like a just a small little brick slide up, you had to hold the the the red button to power it on and stuff, bro. And it's like now I got cell phones everywhere, bro. And it's it's like and any one of any one of these things I could do whatever, bro. A lot and just how quickly that's been and and and the timeline of you know technology as a whole to AI coming on the scene a couple years ago, and to I mean, obviously, it's been around for probably the past ten years, we'll say. But like it's just been a very small, unaccessible thing. Now ever anyone can access it in the palm of your hands and almost do whatever with it, techn technology-wise. I don't think it's I don't think it's gonna stop, bro.

SPEAKER_02

I don't think it's gonna stop.

SPEAKER_04

It's I don't know, it's no way to get able to get thus what we're seeing so far has been beyond most people's like idea of things, and even like versions of new phones and everything, everything gets newer and newer too, as well.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, it's just no, I don't think it's any way to stop. The only way I think it's gonna stop, and I hate to even take this conversation in this direction, but I'm just being real. The only way I think it would stop is if it's which I really don't think because we already do this as a world, but the amount of resources that go into AI is just out of this world, and the only way I could see at stopping is if we drive ourselves into a corner to where we're like using our last resources on it, and we're just like, okay, AI has to has to stop because we can't fuel it anymore.

SPEAKER_04

Ram is through the roof. I was just about to say that's a constant joke on social media.

SPEAKER_05

Yes, but that it's it's not even a joke. No, that's true. Everything everything PC related is is going through the roof because all of that helps like I I don't even remember the specific stats, so I don't even want to, I'm not even gonna say any numbers, but apparently for like one AI generated generated prompt uses like a certain amount of water, like like fresh water to like help fuel whatever, whatever crazy, crazy bull.

SPEAKER_04

That's what my brother works for. Working on those machines, the chillers and thing over at least for AI building. Whoa.

SPEAKER_05

Crazy. Killing us. We can't support that. We can't and I I'm really like, I'm not gonna lie, I'm really getting in tune with it as of late. And I'm I'm I'm gonna keep things anime related. I don't want to get too too far off topic, but um I have been like just learning more about the full extent of AI, and don't though I do think in some uses it can be a power power power, I don't not power tool, but powerful tool for any aspect of technology. I think how easy of an access that has become, I think it should just be limited to certain things. I don't think it should anybody we should be.

SPEAKER_03

Google searches.

SPEAKER_05

Huh?

SPEAKER_03

Google searches.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that's that's a waste. Google besides Google for a reason. Yes, it's a waste for Google searches. I feel like it should be used how it was 10 years ago when we didn't fall off, bro. When we didn't said Google fell off. How did Google fall off?

SPEAKER_04

Google don't be hitting how it used to, bro. It gives you some some vague ass.

SPEAKER_06

And then now they got the little AI overview thing. You type something and give you the little AI overview. And I and um, you know, it's right there.

SPEAKER_02

Damn, I'm a user of AI. I mean, I'm not gonna act like I don't use it. I need it.

SPEAKER_05

Um the more I I I have changed my perspective on it and don't respect certain aspects of it. Like when you see uh AI video of someone of an old dude fucking breakdancing, like, bro, that's a waste. When you see an AI video of a dog, like a hulk about to pick up a baby and a dog just comes out of nowhere and snatches it out the sky. Like like we don't need to see that. Yeah. Like that's a waste. I feel like I don't want to get I don't I don't I don't want to keep dragging this on.

SPEAKER_02

Should it go? Should it be like a media band?

SPEAKER_05

I mean, I think that's a that's a start, yes, for sure. Media does not need any No, it really doesn't. I feel like media was peak when it was just even before it got into the uh internet trolling stuff, like that's when media was peaked.

SPEAKER_04

At this point, it's like if you really think about it, we're wasting water on water on memes.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

But like it's it's too easy, and and not many people would understand that or even care because they're like, I'm not seeing this water. But it's like I was telling the group chat, like, bro, we're gonna eventually get old, bro. We're gonna have kids, we we we're gonna have families, bruh, and like, yeah, we'll be dead, but like, what are we leaving them? They're gonna have to deal with they're gonna have to deal with a world with where it's a war over water for AI or or survival, like say that a terminator, boy.

SPEAKER_02

I just think um it needs to be controlled.

SPEAKER_05

Anybody can download a free app, a free AI app. You can download probably five, six of them.

SPEAKER_04

I only you know, I'm proud. I'm still uh a newborn in all this AI, I'm not an OG, I'm only on chat. That's the only AI app I got is chat.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. I I don't I don't really know nothing about I got I've used Chat GPT for some things. Definitely I still need Google, but that's it, that's it. I don't know, I don't even know how to make none of them videos. I don't know how to do none of that stuff.

SPEAKER_04

But I made some images, but it's all chat.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, chat GPT can generate an image stuff. Um yeah, let's move on. Let's move on back to the back to the good stuff, back to the good stuff. Avatar Aang, the last airbender, has officially wrapped in production, taking place years after the events of The Last Airbender. The film will follow the series' main cast and their young adult years. I don't even want to ask where you're at because I'm sure you haven't finished it.

SPEAKER_04

I'm still uh you still in the in like the Earth Village or something.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, you're okay. You progressed, you're out of water. I've been out of water. Bro, I didn't know you kept watching.

SPEAKER_04

I thought I watched uh not too much. They're like they had to like go check the Earth Brothers out, and they haven't like found them yet. They found the lemurs and stuff.

SPEAKER_05

Earth Brothers.

SPEAKER_02

I was gonna say the other word, but I censored myself. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know, I don't know if the lemurs around and everything, he just found the lemurs and they're like going all crazy and stuff. I forgot what they do. I need to not lock. I've been watching like a lot of stuff. I've been hopping around.

SPEAKER_05

You gotta tap into that avatar. But yeah, I'm excited. Um I don't think there's any any news of release dates or anything, but they say it's wrapped in production. So excited to hear that. And excited to see it's been some years since the last Airbender. So excited to see it in a movie form would definitely be cool. Hopefully they don't harness the name.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, which is what you mean, alright.

SPEAKER_05

I don't think they will though. I don't think they will.

SPEAKER_02

I think it's a lot of the uh OG creators and stuff taking part in making this, so I got high hopes.

SPEAKER_05

After season three, episode nine, we will not see Yuji in the JJK anime until the end of season three, part two.

SPEAKER_03

He's at season three.

SPEAKER_05

Huh?

SPEAKER_03

Is that season three? He dips.

SPEAKER_05

Oh no, we're in season three now, so after part nine after episode nine, we're not gonna see him until the end of season.

SPEAKER_02

And we pretty much next part we won't see until the end. Of the season.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Of the show. Yeah, both. I think. It ends it doesn't end this. It doesn't. Is it ending this?

SPEAKER_04

It is ending, right?

SPEAKER_05

No, this is part one. There's part two.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, there's a part okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_05

And we won't see him till the end of part two.

SPEAKER_04

When when big shit happens.

SPEAKER_02

So I've heard. So I've heard. Not ready for that. I don't even want to think Yeah. But it's been real. It's been so real. I love JJK.

SPEAKER_04

It is great. I remember it came out right in the beginning when I first started anime, and I'll forever love that show for sure.

SPEAKER_02

Well, like 2019. Somewhere there. 2020. It is a great starter anime too, in my opinion. You think so?

SPEAKER_05

I wouldn't say so. No? Nah. Getting into anime? That's a banger in my eyes. It's a banger, didn't it? That's light. It's confusing for starter. So if like the power the power system is so advanced where it's not that advanced.

SPEAKER_02

For for for beginning anime? Yes. It's curse techniques are confusing to understand what I think. Honestly, I mean, in my eyes, Hunter Hunter's a little bit more advanced than. And I consider Hunter Hunter a starter in there.

SPEAKER_05

I don't think Hunter Hunter.

SPEAKER_04

It walks you right through the ability, the what's it called? The learning of the news man. Bro, it's so bro. If you can't come on, bro.

SPEAKER_06

We literally are. I'm thinking of the cup of water down and Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_05

They walk you through that. And yeah, and then they continue to add layers throughout the rest of the new people get to do it. Everyone's stuff is so specific. But they do a good description of they do. I'm not saying I'm not saying they don't. I I'm just putting myself in the shoes of someone who's never seen anime before. I don't I don't know if I would tell someone JJK. It's a great yes. I think it's a good like beginning batch, but not starter anime. I would not say the first thing you watch is JJK. I don't think I would tell anyone that.

SPEAKER_03

I feel like if maybe. You got it.

SPEAKER_04

I think it's harder to keep up with the story because of time-wise than it is the abilities in the show.

SPEAKER_05

No, that's not that hard for me. I mean the abilities aren't that hard for me, but I'm just I don't know. I wouldn't I don't think I would tell someone to watch it first thing. I would I don't I don't think I would tell anyone to watch any new gen anime. I would I would want someone to start with an Solo?

SPEAKER_06

Solo's pretty easy, bro.

SPEAKER_05

It is, but I I'm just saying I don't I would tell someone to start what because if someone starts with a new gen, I just think they're that's all they're gonna like. And it'll be hard for them to watch some of the older stuff. I think it's easier to appreciate both when you started with the OGs.

SPEAKER_02

I I don't think it's so many people who started with newer stuff, like I can't talk any classics with them.

SPEAKER_05

They ain't going for it, bruh. And then it's like, oh, the animation style. I'm not gonna call everybody else, but I've had conversations with like that, and it's just like why does this look so old?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Yeah, it's hard. It's hard. I ran through that first hundred episodes of one piece.

SPEAKER_05

I could I could go on and on. Especially now that you brought a One Piece, but I'm not even gonna do it. Just having conversations with people. It's like talking to this wall right here. Like this. Anime director Mori Satoshi has sadly passed away after a long illness. His work includes titles such as The Rising of the Shield Hero, One Punch Man, and Maid an Abyss, as well as many others. May he rest in peace.

SPEAKER_04

Rest in peace. I just started that uh that shield rising of the shield hero. Yeah, it's kinda it's cool.

SPEAKER_05

I like it.

SPEAKER_04

I got his suggestion off TikTok, but it's cool.

SPEAKER_05

Bro, I thought I would have thought you watched it before. Just because of what type of anime it is.

SPEAKER_04

No, yeah, I I filtered it out. I was like, oh, I see what this is. I instantly from TikTok went to had a little discussion with chat about the show and everything. I was like, uh this is similar. Yeah. Do it on it. I watched the first couple episodes, it's pretty decent.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. I like the rest of another show hero. Um still going strong. And um, I believe he had works in the early One Punch Man, so definitely snap with all that as well.

SPEAKER_03

Rest in peace.

SPEAKER_05

I'm not too familiar with Made in the Abyss and some of his other works.

SPEAKER_02

But definitely rest in peace to him. He's definitely I'm sure changed a lot of people's lives with his work.

SPEAKER_05

Alright, last but not least, the first week results of the One Piece World Top 100 popularity poll have been revealed. And it has revealed a surprising outcome, mainly in Japan. Roa Noah Zorro is currently ranked number one, beating out Luffy, who usually dominates these rankings. While Luffy still holds the top spot in many other regions, Japan shows how popular Zorro is.

SPEAKER_02

See? I got slandered for saying like I'm not really a Luffy fan.

SPEAKER_05

As he got a Luffy poster right next to him. Right next to him. He's like, what'd you say? Hey, he's not a cam. He wasn't a cam before. Hey, what'd you say? I got my boy right here with me. Yes, sir. Um I'm more of a Luffy fan than Zorro. What? I love Luffy. I love Luffy. I thought that was Swiss or I I really like Zorro. But yeah. I love Luffy, bro. I love Luffy.

SPEAKER_04

I hated him for so long. Luffy? I don't even really liked him until the times came. I was like, oh damn, bro.

SPEAKER_05

He got sympathy out of you, bro. Nah, for sure. Nah, Luffy, bro. There's so many times where I'm reading or I'm watching. I just I'm just smiling, bro. I can't even hold it in. When Luffy does something, I'm just smiling, bro. When he yells at his friends, bruh, when he's when he gets mad, bro, everything he does, bro. I'm just like, damn, bro. I fuck with you, bro.

SPEAKER_04

He be giving speeches that be getting me uh he was so annoying for so long for me, bro.

SPEAKER_05

What what about him though?

SPEAKER_04

Just his whole attitude. I don't know. Like, not locking in when I need him lock in. That's like, bro, I can't even message you, man. Take this serious, please.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

These people are telling you good information. He's talking about. You said what? Not even listening. Sleep.

SPEAKER_05

That part do be getting me because I'm like you the captain. A U B. But also at the same time, as we've met other captains, especially these Yonkos, besides Sanks and Blackbeard, and Whitebeard as well. Like Big Mom, Kaido, they teams kind of did the same thing.

SPEAKER_02

Their teams are um Big Mom's not so much. They kind of like they stepped up when she was out. You know what I mean? And Kaido's.

SPEAKER_05

I don't know how he why he drafted them boys. I mean, most of them was was sorry, but like they was. A lot of them were sorry.

SPEAKER_04

They were sorry, bro. They got her in just because of fruit. He was like, I kinda like your fruit. Let him on the crew.

SPEAKER_05

Well, that's what his whole thing was. Like, he was just trying to build the biggest crew of the strongest devil fruit users.

SPEAKER_02

Trash. But um, I mean, respect, what's his name on that? King. The rest is fodder, literally fodder. Jack Queen. Fodder. Fodder.

SPEAKER_04

And that's not that doesn't down Sanji at all, but fodder.

SPEAKER_05

It does down Sanji. No, it doesn't. You can't down.

SPEAKER_04

Down and no Sanji, but fodder. So he he had the technical. He was funny. He was hilarious. I thought he was hilarious. He had the fight. He had screen time on the f in the fight in Onigashima, and then before in the uh in the prison. I loved it, yeah. But he's fodder.

SPEAKER_05

Well, yeah, I I I like Luffy a little bit more than Zorro. I mean, for me it's Jimbe Luffy Zorro on the crew for me.

SPEAKER_02

Like out of my favorites. I mean I I'm I'm a huge Shanks fan too, bruh. It's just it's just all okay.

SPEAKER_05

I feel how every time I'm watching Luffy, I feel how Shanks like feels when he's looking at the paper. I just smile, bro. I'm like, bruh, I fuck with this dog, bruh.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I fuck with I fuck with Luffy. But I love Zorro. Um I probably have more, oh I probably do have more respect for Zorro.

SPEAKER_05

Because Zorro, I feel like has main character energy in him himself, and he's just like, I'm putting that aside for for for bro. And then like he even acknowledged like I was gonna die if it wasn't for him. Like they just literally had me, there was nothing I could do. I was propped up to die. And then now he's like, Alright, I'm even gonna put my dream aside to help you achieve your dream, and then I'm gonna achieve my like I respect Zoro a lot more. Nah, he is.

SPEAKER_02

I respect him, but like as much as who I who I just straw hat, bro. I'm gonna get you a straw hat. So you can give it to Kai. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Y'all gotta reenact that. That'd be tough. That'd be tough. Alright, that will wrap up our anime world news segment. Woo! Appreciate y'all for tapping with us for that segment.

Um, you got any initial thoughts before we dive in? Chapters 1175 and 1176.

SPEAKER_04

I'd say from the beginning, these are the better chapters of this little uh spread of chapters, more you know, more action-packed than descriptive and storytelling. Right. So I'm just lit to get into it. Got a couple not too much, but I got a couple things uh throughout the chapter that you know we'll stir discussion, so I'm lit.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, for sure. Alright, let's dive right into it. Um titled Nidhogger. So in this uh cover story, we have a reader request. Um and this reader request is by Ramanaru, and it says Sabo with koala babies hanging all over him. And it's pretty much that is uh Sabo with some with some baby koalas, and koala chilling with an adult koala.

SPEAKER_02

Any thoughts on that? Um, I didn't really think about it.

SPEAKER_04

In the series, Sabo and Koala? I shipped them.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I mean that's I feel like that's the only woman that we've seen Sabo like close with, besides, I mean, we know he's cool with Robin and stuff. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Um I seen the the adult koala, I was like, I know him from somewhere.

SPEAKER_02

Hunter Hunter, I think, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. He got the he got the shirt on and everything.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I was like, what? That's him. Um, but yeah, that's really all I had. Um I don't really have too much either.

SPEAKER_02

Um koala's hat. Any glasses? She wears those in in the store. Uh I forgot where she's from. She's the little girl that got bullied by uh Don't forget y'all. I don't know. She got a backstory? Yeah. What was that? Oh no. I don't remember no koala backstory.

SPEAKER_05

Damn, I'm sorry koala if I if I if I ain't pay attention. Because we only seen her in Dresserosa and the Revere.

SPEAKER_02

Not too much of a backstory, but who was it? I think she was getting bullied by the Sun Pirates.

SPEAKER_04

After what's it called? She got freed. She's you know she's from there, right?

SPEAKER_05

No, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

When Fisher Tiger freed the slaves? I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, that makes sense.

SPEAKER_04

She was getting teased by them, I think, or something. I gotta we'll talk about it later. But yeah, where'd you it's the same little girl? She was like feral looking, orange hair.

SPEAKER_05

Oh that's her? That's her. When did they make that connection? I don't even remember.

SPEAKER_04

I just remember once you said that I think it's always been her, and I just never really I seen a post about it, and it was like, oh, that is her.

SPEAKER_05

Alright, we gotta look into that. Uh we'll talk about that. Uh try and bring that up next time if we remember. For sure. Or just talk about it off cam. We gotta look into that. And if y'all know in the comments or something, let us know. Cause I'm like, I I once he said described how she looked as a girl. I remember that. I remember saying that I had no idea how it connected with koala, but I'm here for it. That's interesting. And it kind of would make sense, you know. She's um an officer in the Rebel. Yep. Uh revolutionary. Revolutionary. I've I've been watching Star Wars, bruh. Rebels. It's alright, bro.

SPEAKER_06

Same, same team, bro. They're on the same team.

SPEAKER_05

It's all it's all the same thing, bro. Oh, it yeah, that's been I was saying stuck on rebels. But yeah, let's get into the chapter. The chapter continues the chaos in Elbath as civilians and children are trapped by Somers' thorn attacks. Sanji uses Diable Jambe to burn away the vines trapping Robin. Zorro cuts the thorn vines surrounding the hostage children with precise sword strikes. Luffy praises Zoro, showing their trust and teamwork. Luffy and Loki then move the injured civilians and children to their safety near Jarul. The battlefield begins to stabilize as the Straw Hats and Giants regroup. Ja Rule explains the truth about Prince Loki's devil fruit. The name? The Dragon Dragon Fruit, mythical Zoe model Needhogger. The fruit transforms the user into a gigantic black dragon. The dragon size depends on the size of the user. If a human has it, it will be a large dragon. If a giant has it, it'll be a pretty enormous dragon. And if the ancient giant has it, it'll be a world-ending size dragon. Jerule explains an ancient legend. A god of war giant once wielded this fruit. He used a legendary hammer called Ragnar. The warrior clashed with the sun god Nika in the distant past. The hammer is said to contain the spirit of Radatas Radataskar the Ice Squirrel that protected the fruit for generations. Luffy then unleashes a new move, the Gomu Gomu No Dawn Thor Rifle, a gear five enhanced punch charged with lightning. Conquers Hockey. The attack completely shatters Somers' body and destroys his attack. Loki in dragon form unleashes Thorheim, a massive lightning attack. The blast destroys most of the dream monsters created by the Holy Knights. The chapter ends in Marizua, where Emu senses Loki's Needhogger power. Emu reacts in shock, realizing that the legendary dragon fruit has resurfaced in Elbath. Alright, Ja, let's break it down.

SPEAKER_02

Break it down. First page. Um I'm sorry, this is on my mind right now. I just gotta get it.

SPEAKER_04

It off the the Momotaro thing we were talking about earlier. The I think the relation I was thinking about is they also have an Odingashima in that show or whatever it is. Oh really? And I yeah, so I just that's what it was. But um, anyways, umers ability got dealt with super quick by Sanji D'Amblay Jambe. Um for for for a minute there I didn't know what was gonna be the weakness for either you have to defeat the user, or he would be able to be able to like I it was like a hostage situation for a minute there, and I didn't think it would be able to you know be dealt with that quickly. Yeah, coming to coming to find out more and more as each chapter comes out. The holy knights are just fire fodder in in my eyes.

SPEAKER_05

Um it's no uh the holy knights haven't really shown anything significant as of lately. Yeah, you know, besides I mean, even Legore say too, you know, they just have uh Hex devil fruits with uh invincibility, you know, like factors, and they abuse that.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, the regular Dagular, yeah, it's dealt with easy, but us being a Yako crew, come on now. Those vines got burnt right off and ease in the um in the leaks when this came out, they said something about Zorro too. Well, I oh I know that's about never mind. We'll talk about that when it comes. Um but uh in the midst of battle, we see Sanji, uh everybody else, all the straw hats are relieved that Robin's free and everything. My boy Sanji still locked in. This crazy hockey going around right now, and he's and then Robin also says there's no time to celebrate.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, so she the one that got she the one that locked in. Sanji, like, oh yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_04

He agreed, he agreed, though. He agreed, he agreed.

SPEAKER_05

Everybody well, at least Namian Nami and um so I mean Jinbei was a little bit lazy. That's a relief. Come on, bro.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, boy.

SPEAKER_05

Hey, we'll get to we'll get to it a little bit next next chapter. Let's keep let's keep going.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but uh with the all the intense hockey going on, hockey proc, Zanji, Sanji's still on go. I love that. Um so we get Loki after saving the giant uh children and their families or whatever. Him dropping them off off his back carelessly. That shit's hilarious.

SPEAKER_05

I I love Loki. Loki's so true to like his character. He's like, Man, I'm not really trying to help y'all. I'm just conveniently here. So like now it's time for me to turn up. I've been chained up for six years. I'm trying to turn up.

SPEAKER_04

That's where I'll that's where I was going over there. Like, he's been chained up for six years, like, he's doesn't but which also like brings me to think like maybe Luffy has to fight him later, this arc.

SPEAKER_05

Because of his attitude, and he's just because of his attitude. It depends on I think it's it it's gonna depend on this fight with uh Gunko slash Emu and how intense it actually gets. Because there's a chance that this might not escalate as high as we were thinking because of this how the tides are turned right now, but I'm not sure. And if it does, there's a chance where Loki's eyes can in my head Loki's eyes can be open to Luffy based on the fight, or if not, I mean I can see what you're saying, and they may have to fight, and Luffy may either have to earn his respect in that regard, or have to do something similar to what Shanks did. I mean, I don't think they're gonna chain him up again, but like beat him to the point where he's like I told you I'd beat you up if you got out of line. No, don't get out of line.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I just I don't know. This is just more and more is just feeling me like Luffy might have to check him later. Uh on to the next uh geez, so aggressive, get off me. No, get off me, and then Luffy's yelling down because he sees Zorro down there, and Zoro's yelling up is like, who is that and everything? Uh introduction to Loki as a dragon. And uh he just like he's like cool, Luffy, but go handle those nightmare monsters, bro. Since you're you're both in giant form right now, take the load off for him.

SPEAKER_05

Right.

SPEAKER_02

Um yeah, I didn't really have much here. Next page.

SPEAKER_05

Um I'm trying to think if I had anything specific.

SPEAKER_04

More and more as Oda keeps drawing Loki, it's like it's still reminiscent of that purple dragon that he or Fegapunk's uh pet.

SPEAKER_05

The spikes are more prominent here and stuff. Um Yeah, it's interesting. I've I've seen some some talks and I know we've talked a little bit about what the world government was potentially trying to do.

SPEAKER_02

Um Yeah, I don't really have too much for this page.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, so after they got away, I mean I guess it seems like Loki didn't fly far because Somers is right on their tail still.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Loki just scooped him and dropped him right right next to Somers, basically, it seems like. Um we get the announcement across the island from Ja Rule. Like all the children are safe. I thought that's fire. I I messed with that.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I wonder, like is it a snail? Um set up just across the island, like his voice is that loud, bro.

SPEAKER_04

No, no, no. There ain't no way. Ain't no way. I mean Luffy's had a couple moments, right? Where he's like screaming, so I don't think he's been that loud. No, yeah. That makes me think of uh what's his name as well? Yuji. Screaming his announcement, Tri. Um yeah, Somers follows the kids to finish the job, but is countered utterly quickly, slash defeated, slash quick drop, slash quick scope. One shot and one shot by Luffy. And um the praise that Luffy gives uh Zoro. That's I love that with the Dawn Thor rifle. This is also the move, well, not the same move, but uh evolved from the move that he used on Saturn on Egghead. Dawn Thor or Dawn Rifle, but with the fire, I think that was the one it had last time. But Luffy grabbing the uh the lightning bolt out the sky, I know they're gonna go stupid with the animation on that dude. It's gonna go and the the fucking the scope thing, scope the scope in the animation.

SPEAKER_05

Oh yeah. I I really liked just the aspect of um the just the connection and the growth between Zoro and Luffy and how they're kind of we seen in the beginning of the chapter he didn't even have to like finish. Zoro was just like, is that and then Luffy's like, yeah, it's Loki. And then now um, you know, he pretty much they pretty much pass off the kids, and Zoro's just like, all right, now y'all going to do that. And it's just kind of flowing so naturally and so so smoothly here, and it's just what you expect from a Yanko and his first commander. And seeing the way that Luffy was just able to step in and and just it just shows the the the real the real strength of a Yanko, bruh, and like the the heights that Luffy's climb to.

SPEAKER_04

If we're being real, honestly, the crew operates better when Sanji protects the rest and Zoro goes out and helps with Luffy a little bit. This this is not downplaying Sanji. I'm a s I love Sanji. But he, I mean, like, you know, the there's two girls on the crew, he he will he will never stand for them getting hurt. And then yeah, there's we got a warlord and and chopper and Usopp.

SPEAKER_05

I mean Zoro promised Robin that he will never let her get hurt. So I mean, but like I I agree with your i I see what you're you mean, and to add to that, that's kind of Sandy's role always. I mean, I'm even I'm thinking about um in my rewatch when they just got the one wano, and it's like he grabbed Carrot, he grabbed Nami, and then Chopper's like, Hey, can I come too? And he's like, Of course. Like, well, at first he's like, nah. Then he's like, Yeah, I'm just playing I'm just messing with you. Like, yeah, he's like, of course, like any I got you, Chopper. So it's kind of like, and we know Gene Bay is gonna play that role too. So I mean, even Brooke as well, but though they that's just kind of their adopted roles, and I hate to group Sanji with that, but it's what he embodies with being the woman lover that he is. So, I mean, obviously, those are that his first his mind goes first to Nami and Robin all the time. But when we do see Sanji as a character, like he cares more. Zoro's always been the one who's like, I'm not gonna let the innocent and the weak be hurt in front of me. But if it's if if they got strength, they gotta fight. Like he's like, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna not let you.

SPEAKER_04

The bigger threat ahead of us, we gotta take, you know.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, so I'm I'm more like, you know, I'll protect the weak and the innocent, but and same with Luffy, you know, they they kind of have share that mindset of if if you are strong or you want to be strong, you're gonna have to prove that and and and be strong in one way, shape, or form. You can't, you know, I'm not gonna go out of my way to protect you, but I will protect the people who can't do that for themselves. And so I I I I like that aspect. And that's kind of I don't want it to be like that. Hopefully, I I want the crew as a whole to be able to hold their own to where Sanji can take that left wing a little bit more. Uh I won't say seriously because I I'm not saying he doesn't take it seriously, but take that role a little bit to where he's more of a offensive instead of a defensive type guy.

SPEAKER_02

This all this animated is gonna be beautiful.

SPEAKER_05

Like he get his he gets shredded up.

SPEAKER_06

Oda was in his bag. Go back, you gotta go back. I'm sorry. Oda was in his bag drawing this, bro.

SPEAKER_02

Absolutely in his bag. This required a break week? Yes, it did, right?

SPEAKER_04

We got a break week first, right?

SPEAKER_05

We did this one. Dang. We get a break week after this week. Like next week. Okay, yeah. So this was the the three spans. This was two weeks ago.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, yeah. Um, where am I?

SPEAKER_04

Uh so yeah, Sommers is dealt with for now. Um and into the introduction, but the giants see the giant kids and the giant family see uh Luffy in his all-white form, and the comparisons are there. Um just more as time goes on, more and more people being able to see Luffy and recognize him from old their old religion and stuff like that, and stuff. I think that's fire.

SPEAKER_05

Um it was really as uh or keep going, keep going.

SPEAKER_04

No, you're gonna go ahead.

SPEAKER_05

I was just trying to add to that, like it was just touching to see like uh how um her name's Ripley, right? Yeah, Ripley, um she was going through all that like near-death experience, and she's in pain from the thorns, and she sees that and she just kind of like and she's she's like, I finally get to see it. It looks just like Nika. I think he is the warrior of liberation, and then she just collapses and and and feels safe enough to rest, it's just like man, bro.

SPEAKER_02

Her gods here, bro. Um I love it. As Somers is uh what did I say here?

SPEAKER_04

It's fading away and awe. He's uh he's in awe that like the giants treat Nika as a deadtime tale for children. I just thought that was funny. Um rolling into the flashback of Loki's fruit introduction, the long-awaited, even though we have not little spoiler for next chapter that we're about to go over, we still haven't seen this hyperform, but we get the explanation. Um as long as well as the uh explanation and I don't even know what you would call it, but Ragnir and Raditasker, how they came to be as one.

SPEAKER_05

I guess the history or the lore behind that.

SPEAKER_04

The lore, yeah. Um yeah, a lot of before this came out, a lot of the leaks uh kind of went along with thinking of the need hog fruit being um adaptable to size of the person who ate it. That I've seen that a com common constant theme, constant theme that it would be related to the size and everything of the the user. Um you talked about last uh yeah, we talked was that last week, yeah. We talked last week about um how Oda might feel of people like predicting the fruit and everything. He did add it, he did change the name up a little bit, I feel like. In the the mythology is just Needhog, and he threw a R on the back of it. So it's he got a little split. Oh no, yeah. W fruit uh draw rule in the flashback. We yeah, this is all in a flashback, but Gabon right after uh Harold's death. Um I think I just think that's fire. Like getting the lore from the oldest the oldest man in the world at this point, honestly, besides Junisha and maybe the owl that lives in Elbath in the library. It's the oldest.

SPEAKER_05

And maybe we don't we don't know how old Elo and the Gorse are.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, we don't yeah, but yeah. It's at least top five in the verse, oldest can tell a story for sure. Um I just I want to learn more about this combination of Radatasker and and the hammer, because it seem seems like the will of the of the God of War went into a squirrel, or I'm still kind of mixed up there. I just wonder like how does this hammer turn like you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I don't at this point I don't think it's a fruit anymore, but without its master Raditasker chose to inhabit his weapon, waits for its owner to return. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm interested to learn more about that and to have more of an explanation. Hopefully, we can get more of an explanation. Oh still the SPF in the anime world, I completely missed that. We'll talk about it.

SPEAKER_04

Sure, we'll start on it.

SPEAKER_05

We got a break meet next week. We'll talk about it.

SPEAKER_04

But it's it still seems all will-based, so I I still, you know, I'm still messing with it in that sense of the things. But it it doesn't seem like it's gonna be a fruit. Which would have been cool, like uh, you know, you get the mythical user of the fruit, and then you get a mythical weapon type of thing going on that still up all up in the air of how that even works with the themes of um Shamrock having his and potentially Shanks. I've heard some uh stuff there, his sword and being named Griffin, and the attack he did on Crit um Kid was like a Griffin type of looking animal. Constant themes of how the hell did Shanks fight Kato off real quick and then get to Marine Ford that quick. Say he flew with his sword or some some shit like that.

SPEAKER_03

Interesting.

SPEAKER_04

But uh yeah, that's all I really got for this this part.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, yeah. Um I just thought it was interesting, you know, the explanation of the fruit. I didn't really hear too much of the talks about people wondering or com saying the size is gonna be comparable to whoever eats it. But I do like that aspect and idea of it. Um when I'm looking at it, it's crazy to think that if a human ate it, it would still be like pretty much the same size as Loki.

SPEAKER_02

But um Yeah, I I I do think that's that's cool.

SPEAKER_05

And I guess that's an actual mythical aspect to it, or not mythical. Um I guess like in the in the actual what is it, North mythology size is is is comparable to whatever. Maybe I I I'm not sure. I don't I'm not versed in all that, but I do think that that aspect is interesting. And it's cool. Like I I was telling you when we were talking the other day, I I do like the aspect that we got to see it at its max. Or we get to see it at its max. We get to see the fact that Loki was the one to consume it because there's not many people with ancient giant blood in the verse um at all. So we're able to see it at its maxed out form. And Loki being uh Conqueror's hockey user and stuff, I I just and you know with Ragnair as as as a weapon too. I just think that is it's it's it's clean. It's clean as hell, and I'm excited. And like you said, I'm interested to to learn about Ragnarok. And I'm definitely interested ever since we seen uh Harold die. I've been interested on that hybrid form. That was the first thing I said, like, I wonder what this hybrid form looks like.

SPEAKER_02

So not you get here, you don't gotta go back, but uh I'm coming to believe this is the fruit, one of the fruit that uh Rox wanted Harold to eat for sure.

SPEAKER_05

Oh yeah. Uh now you definitely see why uh specifically wanted Harold to eat that.

SPEAKER_06

Yo, if you if he had, bro. And I also want to know if he knows how if he got that, if he has this knowledge, how that's like I think he definitely had that knowledge.

SPEAKER_05

So because he said I want Harold to eat it, I I think it's no doubt in my mind.

SPEAKER_06

Who told him that story about Neehaw, bro?

SPEAKER_05

Bro, somebody's over there before God Valley. This man was in the flower room. I'm not surprised at anything, Rox knows.

SPEAKER_04

Bro, we need to the man marked by flames, gotta be the one who told Rox everything.

SPEAKER_02

Man, gotta be.

SPEAKER_05

I'm excited to see all this animated, bro.

SPEAKER_04

Uh what? On this uh powered up attack, just reminiscent of what Kaido did to uh Odin's old castle mountain.

SPEAKER_05

The nightmares running from him.

SPEAKER_04

That's cool.

SPEAKER_05

I can't lie. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, bro. And then he just obliterates them.

SPEAKER_06

I hope they do uh what's it called?

SPEAKER_04

Um go back real quick. You know in Game of Thrones, how they like show the the dragons like fueling it up, coming up. I hope that's what that scene is right there.

SPEAKER_02

That'll be so what got the the nightmare need hog running away from the real one.

SPEAKER_04

That's dope.

SPEAKER_05

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_04

Um what I have last year. Okay, we can emu seen through Grunko's eyes. The uh dragonslash fruit she's been searching for. Uh duh. Of course the we talked about this the other day, but of course I've seen it, I got it from somewhere, but of course the Norse dragon is in Elbath. Come on Emu. Better recon. I I mean I I know she took a break from trying to go back to Elbath, but what'd you expect?

SPEAKER_02

This this scene at Gunko is still kind of cool though.

SPEAKER_05

I mean, in my head, it's like you asked a few chapters ago what beasts was do they have in Elbath to kill?

SPEAKER_04

You had to come on, man. You had to come to your senses and think.

SPEAKER_05

This is like his oh, okay. Moment. Oh yeah. Way to end the chapter.

SPEAKER_02

I didn't see that at the top.

SPEAKER_05

What?

SPEAKER_04

The top left. Need hog low-key and the squirrel.

SPEAKER_05

Mm-hmm. Need hog Loki. Yeah? Luffy Loki Loki. Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_02

But yeah, W chapter.

SPEAKER_04

Um if you want, we can get right into the rating.

SPEAKER_05

Oh yeah, what would you rate that?

SPEAKER_04

I know I I've had it for some time now. I had the leaks, I had the actual review when it came out, but in a week to think on it, it's still Yanka in my eyes. I don't care. I think it was I didn't mention Gabon earlier. I forgot to mention Gabon in the flashback. I still love how like that is it's still hardcore to me that Gabon has been there in the timeline to witness all this crazy shit that happened all this time ago, right after Roger's death and stuff.

SPEAKER_02

That boy Gabon has seen everything. No, yeah, he's he's home. Yeah, that's crazy. Interesting, interesting, interesting. Good chapter. I think it's a Yanko as well. Um he was reading Got him.

SPEAKER_05

Caught me. Um that was actually I was looking at that for my notes when I was taking my notes.

SPEAKER_04

But I didn't have anything for this, but thank you. That was a new light right now.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, for real. Yeah. That was a Yonko level uh chapter. Sorry.

SPEAKER_02

That was a long Yanko chapter for me as well. Um Yeah, I don't really have too much.

SPEAKER_05

Got got to see uh Loki use use a strong attack, got to see Luffy use a strong attack, um, everyone's grouping back up, getting back on their stuff, Robin's free. So really from from the jump, and the kids got saved from the jump. It was a Yanko level chapter, and it's really setting up for now we we're we're done defending, now it's time to box. So let's dive straight into chapter 1176 titled With Pride. So on this cover page, we have a color spread showing a new version of the classic volume 12 cover featuring the straw hats.

SPEAKER_02

Um you said you you you you you got something. What's up? Talk to me. Top left, bro. You see it, bro. That cross of gold. Huh? Top left that cross of gold by the skull, right below the skull.

SPEAKER_05

Cross of gold right below the skull. Oh, I'm thinking top left in the picture wise. Top left in the well, in this frame, yes, but like I'm looking at it top left straight up and down. Um that reminds me of Mihawk's uh Yoru, or whatever it's called.

SPEAKER_04

Yaru.

SPEAKER_02

Um and also Yoru, yeah, something like that. And also the uh the um cross in Kuma's church looks just like it.

SPEAKER_04

Um is it crazy? This is a good time to talk about it.

SPEAKER_02

Is it crazy that I feel like once we le we get to a point here I want to see some Oda Pan to the world? Uh really somebody else is doing, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Is it weird?

SPEAKER_04

Is it crazy? Like we're at this point right now, and I feel like I need to see something else going on in the world.

SPEAKER_05

Um no, because I was in God Valley talking about some damn, I'm excited to see what what's going on on current LBF. But like I mean, it's all right, but I was so tapped into God Valley. So like I feel like, no, like, especially right now, to see what uh Blackbeard's doing, to see what um Cross Guild is doing, to see what the Marines. I mean, we know we know the revolutionaries supposedly attacked Marijuana, like pretty much right when this was going on, because Shamrock had to leave. Shamrock was in Elbath, then they called him away because they're like the revolutionaries attack. Like, I'm trying to see some of that too. Like the revolutionaries finally making a move? Huh? Is that confirmed? Yeah, that's the whole reason Shamrock left. It was for sure the revolutionary, right?

SPEAKER_04

Okay, okay, I'm doing it.

SPEAKER_05

Because remember the remember we pants the celestial dragons, they're out of food and stuff. Their foods have been getting attacked and stuff, the revolutionaries, so they're they're low on food and everything.

SPEAKER_04

I also just seen something else on this page. The skull on right above the cross. Oh the come on, I'm on to you. The blue and red on that skull, bro. We gotta be seeing CrossGale soon, bro. There is no way. That's buggy, bro.

SPEAKER_02

Ain't no way. Okay. Okay. I like it though.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that's really all I got for this.

SPEAKER_04

And and maybe the straw hats about to get rich after after what's it called?

SPEAKER_05

Elbath. Seagulls, maybe Sengoku joins the crew.

unknown

Oh.

SPEAKER_03

No, this is a good spread though for everybody. It's really good art. I love it.

SPEAKER_05

I'm not a hundred percent sure. But I know this is the um and it says a new version of a classic volume 12 cover, so I don't know. I gotta look at the volume 12 cover to see maybe see some changes or something. But let's get into the chapter. Alright, so a battle breaks out at a school that catches fire during the conflict. Nami and Zoo attempt to put out the flames, but a dream monster ends up defeating Zeus. Lilith and Frankie arrive at the school. Lilith uses a machine to extinguish the fire and freeze the buildings. She converts the energy from the fire into super vega cola for Frankie. Using the Super Vega Cola, Frankie becomes significantly stronger. He teams up with Jinbei to fight the dream monsters. Killing him insults Jinbei for being a fish man, saying he's glad he wears a helmet so he doesn't breathe the same air. Sanji immediately responds by kicking, killing him so hard that the helmet shatters. Dorian Braggie briefly regain control of themselves despite being under the influence of Domi Reversi. They decide to kill each other rather than fight the enemy. Or fight for the enemy. When they attempt to kill each other, the Domi Reversi control suddenly disappears. This hints that the control may be broken under certain conditions. The chapter ends with Dory, Bragg, Hasruddin, Stanson, and Zoro getting ready to take out the remainder of the Domi Reverse Giants.

SPEAKER_02

You said what? Oh you good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

It was short, I just briefly went over all this stuff so we can get into the breakdown.

SPEAKER_02

Hell yeah. Um let me start by saying Frankie upscale.

SPEAKER_04

Who would have thought? Now Frankie's getting his turn, boy.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. Once Frankie, well, last chapter review in my head I was wondering what Frankie's up to. Then I remembered, oh yeah, he's with Lilith and stuff. But I've always ever since Egghead, I've been kind of like had it in the back of my head that Frankie's gonna take the because we've known him as the shipwright and stuff. Obviously, he's he's big in the technology and he's he created himself to be a cyborg and all that. But I've always thought that he's gonna take more of the science route, like once he because he's always been inspired by Vegapunk and his creations and stuff. So once I I kind of had an idea, but I didn't see an upscale coming or like a power-up specifically coming to Frankie. I just thought he was gonna always had that lingering feeling that he was gonna take a scientific route and kind of incorporate that into improving the the strength of the crew. This what we see in this chapter, hey, hopefully it could be used like because this could be this type of technology in in Frankie's hands could be a game changer. It could boost him on the on the list in straw hat rankings. He's not gonna reach the the you know the monster trio or do we or them, but like he can be right there, right back to D May.

SPEAKER_04

Um I just also just want to say uh I thought his his showing would be something either related to Kuma or towards the end of Elbath for maybe an upgraded ship because we know the Adam Tree and the world correlation, but he locked in with Lilith and got right um the Ami Drain converters and a and a new source of fuel as well. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

And it's funny because uh how well we've seen in Egghead how amazed at Vega that Vegapunk was that Frankie was able to use his technology in that way, especially such as as as what Vegapunk almost considered it because of his advancements and stuff, like outdated, like he he used old Vegapunk stuff to to create. So like he always at that yeah, he always took an interest to to that. And now we see you know Lilith been a counterpart of of Vegapunk trying to like educating, you know, it's like hey yo, there's a you know, that color you use is it's a great energy source, but I got one even better, and like putting them on, and as we see later in the chapter, completely like giving it to him right away, like here, use this.

SPEAKER_04

I I I I really enjoyed that, but yeah, let's I also want them ex to expand on that energy that they feel around Nobev.

SPEAKER_02

But yeah, that's really all I got for that. Um, we know everyone can sense hockey and stuff. Uh Frankie and Lilith are not two people that I mean even Bonnie, they're not people that I would I would think is like that what is it in tune with with with the hockey sensing.

SPEAKER_05

But I mean Frankie being one of Yonka.

SPEAKER_04

Can't lie, I just realized what the name was on his head. Bonnie. Yeah. I just realized Bonnie was up there. I can't lie. That's crazy. What you reading? I I'm honestly I'm less about the art and I'm reading with the boxes.

SPEAKER_05

The art's important, you gotta do it all.

SPEAKER_04

I I kid you, but that that slipped me. That slipped. Um yeah, that that's crazy. That's hilarious.

SPEAKER_06

That they had a commission.

SPEAKER_05

Cause in the next page, that's hilarious.

SPEAKER_04

Um back to the rest of Straw Hats and in a beat up saw, Nami prepares to put out the fires with Zeus uh before before she gets the chance uh uh killing her killing him and his nightmare nightmare monster lindworm swallows up Zeus.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

That was kind of crazy. Um that it's a lindworm.

SPEAKER_04

I love how Saul is kind of like familiar with it. I wonder what's the lore behind the lindworm.

SPEAKER_05

Well, there has to be some sort of maybe and then Jinbei as well.

SPEAKER_04

Is that one of the three demons? I think about killing him, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um I think with the Lindworm, I think it's I mean, maybe some sort of actual creature or ancient creature from from Elbath. Because these are all kids' nightmares, obviously, so it has to be something, or maybe even a s a story like uh oh, don't do this, or the lymworm would get you. Yeah, photo, whatever. Yeah, yeah. Um just the scare kids. That that that's kind of been my depiction of most of the most of the dream dream monsters. Just some sort of like either actual LBF creature or maybe like an ancient LBF like folklore or something. Monster.

SPEAKER_04

I also want to throw out there, we we talked uh last week or either last week or two weeks ago on the last episode. Um how we wanted Jim Bay to tee up soon because the school was just sitting there burning and everything. Nami assumed the role stepped up and was about to handle that.

SPEAKER_06

I didn't see I didn't even think about Zeus.

SPEAKER_05

Um, yeah, either. Me either. And we've seen Zeus so much like just lightning-based attacks, it's like it probably's a cloud. Of course, it can run out!

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, even though it seems his water didn't do much, he was screaming at the the fire to go out right before he was swallowed.

SPEAKER_05

Um Yeah, I I I was confused if maybe like I I I guess I have to see how how fast this happens. Because in my head, it's like, okay, it started pouring, like the fire should start going out. Then he's like trying, he's sitting there trying, and then he gets eaten.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, but I mean even Robin's like, hurry.

SPEAKER_04

So it could it it could just be well I think Robin's more so doing that because it's the library in school and stuff, but yeah, Robin's going through her, she's stressed, she's on peak stress, she was freaking thorn up for forever. Now all of Oh's books are about to burn a second time.

SPEAKER_02

Um But yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Uh Cillingham, like I was saying earlier, I or last chapter review, I believe. This whole time I thought Sanji was gonna end up fighting Summers in some way, shape, or form.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I seen it a lot of the phantom is on the same page as well.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. And you know, um Zoro didn't even fight Summers. It was Luffy who took him out and Sanji's fighting, killing him. Which I think that I think that's uh I like I like what Oda has done so far with the monster trio and how he's he's split them up and put them in different scenarios because it's not what I don't think anyone expected. We we kind of seen, especially well, I say that, and then we get this chapter because Somers attitude, like, I'm like, okay, killing him's a piece of crap too. He's just racist. Like, yeah, he's just racist.

SPEAKER_04

Like you even y'all haven't even seen yeah, we'll see.

SPEAKER_05

We'll we'll we'll get to that when we get to it. But right here. Um the uh what's it called? ODC Omni drain converters. We we we see them get uh put to use here.

SPEAKER_03

Chucked boy, yeah. It that's limited. That threw it right.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, she had it upscale, bro.

SPEAKER_04

Um yeah, she chucks the energy converter, chucking up all the fire from school and completely freezing it. Every time, sorry, every time. A freezing ability pops up, you know where my head gun.

SPEAKER_05

Is that what frozen Galile Love Chance?

SPEAKER_06

Hey don't forget my boys, they still froze.

SPEAKER_05

They still froze.

SPEAKER_04

It's still crazy to think like think back like all the way at Punk Hazard, like and Vegapunk Vegapunk used to be at Punk Hazard. Hey, we not too you just you put hey, brother. You are now one of my elite putties. You've been fucking wow, I didn't even think about it like that too. Dang, dang, vegapunk science. Whoa.

SPEAKER_05

But we have the the Galley Law was way back.

SPEAKER_02

I don't matter, it's Vegapunk Science, bro.

SPEAKER_05

We'll see. We'll eventually learn learn about that. We weren't told that they were there for no reason. No I I like that I like that she just had these on deck. They're in the box. Yeah. And another thing was like, like you were saying, like, bro, how far did she throw these, bro? Like let's go back a f a few pages to whether they they're all the way over here.

SPEAKER_02

Like I meant to mention this earlier on the first page.

SPEAKER_04

Um all of that started off, like the Frankie upscale and everything, started off with uh them looking from afar, overview in the battle and everything.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

To to like being there.

SPEAKER_05

He got there.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Um crazy. Yeah, and so then we learn about the super vegan cola and how um Lilith was able to pretty much energize the flames, like kill the flames, but take the energy from the heat and pretty much turn it into a different type of energy. You know, obviously. And this is uh a boosted a boosted uh form of that, I guess we would call it. Super Vega Cola. Um, I like how like I said, just the kudos and and the and the tie-ins with Vegapunk and Frankie. Um Lilith saying your innard are immaculately designed just as advanced as the pacifistas, which is why I was stunned to learn that you only use cola to power yourself. So, like we were saying, in a way, like to Vegapunk, very outdated technology and stuff, but inspired, and Frankie is such a genius in that aspect to where he made the most out of it, and just the interest that Vegapunk has taken into Frankie. I just like that connection, and it's crazy that yeah, we got that on L Bath, but then all the hecticness happened on L Bath, and now they've kind of gone on their own. And amongst this whole time, like they've just Frankie's just been bonding with Lilith Vegapunk, and we get a Frankie up scale the whole time. Usopp's just screaming about what's going on.

SPEAKER_02

Running, ducking. Jeez. Um, I also wanna throw up the comment the com the constant theme of Vegapunks being uh just involved with fuel, the fuel source of the the mother flame and energy.

SPEAKER_04

Uh when Lilith said it here, fuel is passion. That this is a sidebar, but it brought me to what's it called JJK with old dude. Every time I see passion now, I that that's where my head goes with old dude uh Akari. Akari, yeah, just being so passionate-based.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, every time I see yeah, yeah, I just um I actually love that for Frankie's character too, because Frankie's a very passionate character from from the from the jump. I mean, he's he's one of the most passionate straw hats. Um even with just well, we see how he is on on on water seven and all that, and then even even his passion is what kind of sparked the events of dress dress rosa. He was the one who who called Luffy and was like, yo, I know you're my captain, but I I'm not I'm not with what's going on here. And like I I'm gonna respect you, but I I I I we can't leave here without me doing something about this. And that sparked everything. And from there, they created a plan and they stuck to that based on Frankie's passion. And we know he's passionate, like super, like he's always passionate about his creations and stuff. So this specific, that specific line, like I can't wait to see animated. It might give me chills because like the way Frankie, like you can see his face is like like he's he's having a revelation here, like Vegapunk's looking him in the eyes and saying, Your passion is the fuel. That's that's really what makes science what it is. And he's just like making that spark in his head, like, damn, you're right. I've been so passionate, now I can put it together, and then this leads into like what we've seen from him here on this next uh this next page.

SPEAKER_04

I see uh a lot as being adapted into you see you know the banana league, the uh baseball thing that's I players for it's yeah, yeah. I see them do that shit all the time. I love that shit.

SPEAKER_05

I follow him and I see all the reposts and stuff from all that. I'd be seeing the whole team be on that.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, the whole team be on the beast, boy.

SPEAKER_05

Um swallows up Zeus, I want to say something about Zeus because I just finished whole cake, so it's only right for me to talk about like seeing him here now that he he popped up in this chapter right when I finished. Um but just to see, like we know how he was with Big Mom and stuff, and he gets swallowed here, and his first thing he does is yell out and call for Nami. I just I just I just like that, you know, because when Nami first got Zeus, he was like, You're my ser you're you're my servant now. You're my slave now. And now it's like we we we see the growth with in their bond, you know, it's like a loving bond, actually. Zeus is taken care of, like, whereas Big Mom used all her souls and used uh but but Nami treats him like one of them. I mean, they all do, like he's he has a name, they talk to him even even earlier uh when he's trying to put out the fire, you know, you see Robin calling out the Zeus as well, like so he's he's an honorary member in in a way, and I just I just love the shoot. Even my dog Zeus is getting character development. The fact that he called out the Nami there, it's it I think that would Oder did that very intently because he's calling out for Nami. Like he could have just been yelling help.

SPEAKER_02

So yeah, I feel it.

SPEAKER_04

I just want to piggyback off what you had said before. Um just Frankie and Lilith having that little teacher uh student teacher moment as well that he couldn't really have with the OG Vegapunk. Right. I just thought that was dope. Um but yeah, for this, we uh we planned to kill him going on a little racist Celestia ramp um about he sees Gene Bay being a fishman uh in his presence. Uh kind of crazy, but his teeth are sharp and he kind of looks he could be a fishman himself. So that would be another interesting theme, though.

SPEAKER_05

He looked like Caesar in that in that bottom panel to me.

SPEAKER_02

No, facts.

SPEAKER_04

I do see that.

SPEAKER_05

Um I guess I we never got enough of killing him prior to because I was just like, okay, Somers is just a sadistic, you know, uh one that talks down to people. And you know, we see that a lot amongst the Celestial Dragons, but they do have different personalities. So even when their interaction when they first got the Elbath, and then Killingham goes in Somers dreams for Salt and stuff, like he just kind of seemed a lot more laid back and and stuff, and how he portrays himself as a celestial dragon, but like the moment he sees Gene Pay, it just all like that all goes out the window. It's just like, damn, you're you're a racist piece of shit. He's like, good thing my mask keeps my air clean. Like, bro, I haven't heard that since I was watching documentaries and stuff about my peoples.

SPEAKER_02

Um I also want to throw in there, when's the last time we seen um Robin in Soul's hand like that, man? That's right, right, it's probably over a decade. I like the she got freedom, ran straight to him. Straight to him.

SPEAKER_05

Um yeah, I didn't even that that that's actually a a nice panel. Seeing seeing that, you know, I know times are desperate right now, but last time we seen it, it was a desperate situation um where he's running to help. Well, at that point he was running to to save her and put and get her away, but now we see it here in a stakes are high, government's being pieces of crap, and we have to we have to survive.

SPEAKER_02

Um but in an instant, go ahead.

SPEAKER_05

I was just gonna say I I I really love this Sanji panel where he's uh defending defending Jinbei.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's where I was gonna in an instant.

SPEAKER_02

Sanji does not stand for that shit. Um and they they all collab for an attack.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. I I real quick, you know I'm a big Jinbei guy, so I I want I want to say talk about the specifics of what Sanji said. Like I just like how the person he's like, for the crimes of being ignorant of Jinbei, former warlord of the sea, like he's like, bro, you don't even know who you're dissing right now. He's like, he's like, yeah, he's my friend, but like put some respect on his name, and then on top of that, he's part of my crew, that's my dog. He's like, oh yeah, y'all gonna breathe the same air. You think that air is dirty? I mean, y'all can't breathe the same air, but yeah, so um everybody gets their combo attack here.

SPEAKER_02

Everybody powers up here, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

We see uh so we we we we already let's get let's get it straight, y'all. Elbath is a lot bigger than your normal island. So let's give Frankie and that super Vega Cola some real feats here for him to be able to jump from where they was at all the way to the battlefield and land an attack in one you know motion. Um we see Jinbei load up his attack and Sanji goes straight straight for killing him. The the lizard in the killing him, they're just they're just shocked that there's not there nothing they can do.

SPEAKER_02

They're just like I believe they got blitzed like that. Yeah. Um Dexter, hello right there.

SPEAKER_05

I should have read it like that.

SPEAKER_04

No, that's funny. Um Frankie, I this is like I think this is like the next evolution of Strong Right.

SPEAKER_05

Well what do you call it? Super Strong Dexter.

SPEAKER_04

Um Vagabond Drill is the same move he I think he used on Big Mom.

SPEAKER_02

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04

Um and Sanji. That's I think that's new. Efreat Jambe Kongasser.

SPEAKER_02

I think that's new.

SPEAKER_04

Uh made made quick work of uh of the the monster and uh and what's his name himself it seems.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Oh I ain't seen Sandy kick nobody this hard since uh Luffy. I'm surprised he didn't say anything. You you flew through uh what's it called? Whole cake recently. I'm surprised you didn't say anything about him beating up Cap again.

SPEAKER_05

He was beating the mess out of Luffy. Luffy just kept getting up. So real. And then Luffy's so real, bruh. Luffy said they was in a whole cake island. Luffy said, I'm not eating until you make me my next dish. This man was running through the whole whole cake island, stomach growling. He could have ate anything he wanted to. Stomach growling. I first off, I don't know how your stomach was growling when you just ate all them damn crackers. But you was hungry. You was boxing, and we know that tired you out.

SPEAKER_04

Or a good amount of time too.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

That fight might have lasted a day.

SPEAKER_05

What with cracker?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

It was a it was a it was a good amount, but he didn't really eat the crackers till the end of the fight though. But um Yeah, just the combination of Frankie completely obliterating and decapitating the head of this monster. And then Jean Bay hitting it in the gut to get it to cough up Zeus. Uh and then on top of that, Sanji knocking knocking taking out killing him. And it was funny because in my head I was like, if Sanji just took out killing him, like J May and Frankie could have just chilled and would it would it have gone away? And they didn't need to do anything. But I also just rem go ahead. Oh no, I was just saying, but no, I think I think it was good that they added this.

SPEAKER_04

Um especially for both the second celestial dragon to get uh there's no better term of saying it, but Sir Charlos or whatever his name, Saint Saint Charles Charlos, where he got smushed by who did he get smushed by again? I forgot.

SPEAKER_02

Who did that? Smushed. Remember he got his head smoothed down in the Marie Joa? Oh.

SPEAKER_04

When he was messing with uh he was trying to get what's her name? That wasn't him. Chirahoshi. Different one. No, that was Charlos.

SPEAKER_05

That was Charlos?

SPEAKER_04

I just beat him again.

SPEAKER_05

That was in the that was in the reverie.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, who was that?

SPEAKER_05

Was it one of the Fishman Brothers? Huh? Was it one of the Fishman Brothers? No, no, no, no. Oh, who did it to them? It was another Celestial. It was the Celestial that went down the Fishman Island. Oh, okay. Who uh they saved because the Fishman was about to jump or kill him.

SPEAKER_02

Do you remember the prin the the queen's name? From uh Fishman Island. Oh, my head always goes to Orihime.

SPEAKER_05

I thought it was or Orihe or something.

SPEAKER_02

I thought I'd look at it right now. Oh told him.

SPEAKER_05

Yes, definitely me being a b big GMA fan, I love seeing this. And Frankie stocks, I mean I've always had had a lot of love for Frankie. So him getting uh a power scale, you know, increase was nice because Frankie's always been, you know, we've never we've never respected him for the fade. I mean, we obviously with Senior Pink, they they faded it out. It was nothing but respect. The manliest fight the manliest fight in all of anime, may I add. But in terms of like a fighter, we've never really ranked Frankie high. Not that this just completely puts him in in that category.

SPEAKER_02

But I mean, like me and you were talking earlier in Egghead.

SPEAKER_05

We you know, we we scale past the feastas to a certain level. Frankie surpassed surpassed all that and whatnot. So to see him still have jumps where I feel like some of the Other crew may have needed it. I think every actually I think every all the crew need needed the jump. So Frankie getting this, him just getting the upscale in L BAF before pretty early, too. Before Usopp is just that that is shocking to me. Yeah. That is shocking to me.

SPEAKER_04

I still feel like Frankie might get one end of Elbath.

SPEAKER_05

Another one?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, if he does anything with the ship or Adam Tree, that's another scale.

SPEAKER_05

And I thought that was going to happen in Egghead. I thought Egghead was going to be Frankie's art. And I thought Elbat was going to be Usopp's. But I mean, there was nothing I could do. Egghead was they were they were.

SPEAKER_02

This whole sequence.

SPEAKER_04

Um they really hold some like some weight to some from meeting them way back during Braggie to what they do coming up in this uh this part of the chapter that holds a good narrative weight in in my eyes.

SPEAKER_05

Um man, I was about to I thought I was about to start tearing up.

SPEAKER_02

For real, like I seen it animated, like that's what I expect.

SPEAKER_04

Um they come to terms with uh trying to fight the Dome Universities after being slashed all around and stuff, beat up by the other giants. That uh they finally got some strength in the Dome University to to talk amongst themselves, and they're on the same page in agreements that they're in shame of what they had said as uh reverse heat and the slander and all that, and they would they would take their so this themselves out in the cleanest way ever. They behead each other. That is so raw, bro.

SPEAKER_05

Bro, the the way the way they've been fighting for a hundred years, y'all. Like y'all don't understand to a stalemate, to a complete stalemate, and then they're about to take down one of the people, one of the last people alive that they respect, got the utmost respect for, and they fight through it, and they're like, you know what, we gotta, we gotta we gotta stop this, and we have to do it. Like you, my brother, we're gonna do it with pride.

SPEAKER_04

And we'll never give in to the demons.

SPEAKER_05

Bro, took each other out of it. Now, I will I was thinking in this first scene when they first started talking to each other, I was like, Why aren't Dorian Braggie conquerors?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I just feel like it would make sense. Should you draw a Ruby?

SPEAKER_05

No. Well, I don't know. He was the fiercest warrior apparently 300 years ago.

SPEAKER_02

He had to be alright.

SPEAKER_05

But I don't know, I mean Narratively he should.

SPEAKER_04

I think so, especially he's one of those last ancients.

SPEAKER_05

The way Harold so keenly said it about Loki was like, oh, you do possess it. That's no surprise to me. I kind of feel like you know. I don't know. I I do I do feel like it would just make sense for Jarul to have it. But I was thinking here, I'm just like I wonder why, you know, especially them being who they are. Like I feel like it would be fitting for them too to have it. Um I just feel like it would be a little bit more common amongst giants conquerors hockey, obviously more ancient, but now that there's there's a few, I feel like those are the few that stand out. Obviously, Loki, Harold, Karul, Dorian Braggie, not really her, he's a he's he's a he's kind of a bitch. But that's neither here nor there. Um I just thought, hey, you would think if kid has it. My dogs Dorian Braggie should have it.

SPEAKER_03

But I got I got a little on her real quick.

SPEAKER_02

Um We need him trying to get that fruit, bro. Mm-hmm. I think he needs a fruit, man. I think they'll turn it all around, bro.

SPEAKER_05

The flame fruit wasn't the fruit for fruit.

SPEAKER_04

No, yeah, the flame fruit wasn't for him anyway, but get that man a fruit. I think he he could turn this around. If he doesn't, then I can honestly scale botch of malaya.

SPEAKER_02

Bardo's stronger than him. Don't like me, I'm tripping. Um not tripping.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. You're not tripping. He don't got no type of hockey feats that I'm like, oh, he could break through Bardo's barrier. He's a fruit, bro. Nothing. I mean, I see Bardo like he wasn't he didn't do anything to Birdcage, but it he was able to block it. Like it wasn't able to break through his his barrier, so it was just pushing him back. So I don't I don't see our drudom breaking it.

unknown

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

Um so heroic of them.

SPEAKER_05

Yes, I do, I do really love this scene. This this chat there was great. Um, the scene was so emotional for me. Even yeah, it it it was it was very emotional for me. I'm just like in thinking about how it's gonna be animated. Um the mu I know the music's gonna share. Bro, the music's getting when they when they when they're talking to each other, it's gonna be like with probably like uh serious but like calm voices at like accepting was what they have to do. And man, just we met them what damn near a thousand chapters ago, damn near. And it's like they were brothers, but they're they were just fighting and fighting and fighting, and it was a stalemate. The only time it wasn't was when they it got sabotaged. And to see that here, like if this was to be an ending for both of them, this is like the most befitting, like you just they they take each other out.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Um and then they land on the on the ground and the Domi reversey gets reverseied.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Um of the ability we haven't seen. I uh I got some notes here. Yeah. They chop, they beheaded themselves, and uh they reawake unscathed. Uh you know where I'm going with this. There's still, you know, there's still some unknowns about the whole ability itself, but I wonder if Rox could have survived if Garling didn't finish the job.

SPEAKER_02

Um well, here's my thoughts.

SPEAKER_05

I think by the time Garland came over, they were already in this stage. Or Rox was already in this stage, but he just couldn't move.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Garling. But Rox was in the stage they're in, laying down right there. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Like back to human form. Yeah. So you you think he could have just lived?

SPEAKER_04

If he in human form after being not touched by Garling yet? Maybe, hopefully. Is that was that a possibility before Garling finished the job? Or no? That's what I want to know.

SPEAKER_02

Well, in my how I view it, I feel like Or maybe humans can't take the effects of the Dome Reversey.

SPEAKER_05

I don't necessarily even think it's that. I think I mean I I do think it's it's a difference in while they were still Dominic Reverse, they're just they just got they just decapitated each other. Rox got hit with Garp and Rogers Supreme King, like all they had. All they had, all they want. I don't think I don't I just don't think he he he was capable of doing anything. Like he regained his consciousness, but I think it was like a situation to where like even if Garland walked up to any of them, Garp, Roger, I think they were all in that like incapacit they were that incapacitated to where like they just had so like the only way that I could see that is just that Garland's just that sorry. And I genuinely do think that Garland killed Rox in that move because Rox had nothing left, like and if like obviously it was off-panel, we just kind of seen the motion and the splatter or whatever. But yeah, I I I I don't I seen something on YouTube earlier where people were sparking up a conversation of could Rock still be alive, and I was on the side of no just because I think it's different. Um, like I was just talking about neither Dory or Braggie or confirmed conquerors. This these attacks that they were using, it doesn't really seem like anything was infused, it just looks like their normal slash attacks and it was able to break the course uh the curse. There's more to be learned about that. Maybe because it was uh it was through Gunko.

SPEAKER_04

Uh maybe has a second mark and not the third.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, like I I I just think there's there's different factors to it to why Dory and Braggie were able to get up and pretty much recovered. Um Braggie still doesn't have his hand that he lost prior to being reverse. But they were able to pretty much recover and now be in a state to to fight back.

SPEAKER_02

Um I think it I think it was different factors between Rox and um for sure.

SPEAKER_05

And maybe the direct Domi reverse from Emu it could potentially take more of a rougher toll on because I mean Emu's has Conquerors hockey and stuff, so like we can add.

SPEAKER_04

Assuming that the RSA have the third mark and not the second.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. That's fair.

SPEAKER_05

Um but Gunkong could have the third mark too, because he's she's pretty much like Emu's she's she doesn't have a specific title. She's not even technically like a holy knight. They she's just like emu's blade. Yeah. God's blade.

SPEAKER_02

Um I don't expect her to have the third mark.

SPEAKER_04

Cause she was she was giving in to Brooke at that point. I was like. Then she had to get taken over. It's like how Harold kind of like how Harold went. I'm trying to prep before this. Oh, let me talk to Brooke real quick. Oh, I'm getting taken over and I can't do shit about it.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. Yeah, it's interesting. We'll see. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

But um still some unknowns. This last uh little little spread, two-page spread, I think was so clean. Um I didn't realize how drudom was like a little bit, it could be an angle, but a little bit bigger than Dory and Braggie.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I was just saying in my head, like so despicable, so disgraceful. How can he even be a man and stand next to those legends right there? What?

SPEAKER_05

And I'm like, bruh, like I fuck with Dory so much, bruh. I'm just like, bro, why Dory look like a little pip squeak next to our judging?

SPEAKER_04

A little Dory is definitely the cleaner one, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But even Zoro standard, that's just gas.

SPEAKER_05

Is it just me, bruh? I've not been a fan of Zoro's goggles. This this this arc. Not a fan of his goggles. It's not drip.

SPEAKER_04

Not drip. Take those shits off.

SPEAKER_05

You can always see out of one eye, too, but what's the aesthetic you're trying to reach right now, bruh?

SPEAKER_04

Why goggles?

SPEAKER_05

It's just the goggles.

SPEAKER_04

The Joy and Dorian Brady have them, but or I mean Dorian Hardruder. Yeah, Hardruden.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I I guess I guess it could be an Elbath warrior style, I guess. I don't know, but I'm not with it.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. I'm not with the that uh who is that? That that fourth unknown giant stenson?

SPEAKER_05

Okay, that's um Dory's right hand.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

I mean not Dory.

SPEAKER_04

He looks like, why does he look like you know that mustache? Come on, bro. He drew that too similar, bro.

SPEAKER_05

Roger?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, he knew what he was doing, right?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I think that's um I think that's Hadrudin's first commander on the new the new the new uh giant pirates.

SPEAKER_04

He drew that shit too similar, bro. You know what you're just doing, oh that isn't he the same one who uh Nah, that's not him.

SPEAKER_05

That was Grandpa Oimo. Oymo's uh grandpa. That makes sense. Oimo's on Dorian Braggie's screw. They're a lot older.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, Stanson is um whatchamacallit right hand. He's pretty much like Hajrudan's uh Braggie, I guess.

SPEAKER_05

What they're trying to portray it as.

SPEAKER_04

Um yeah, we get the final spread of the giants and so we're all lined up in a grants they can go all out. Cold get the kids inside inside. That's gonna be so clean.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, he said you hate to see it. It's a real shame. Don't take it personally, but but prepare to snap him, bro. Yako back to back chat.

SPEAKER_04

Oh god, Yoko back to back, W Oda Oda, man. This is great, yeah.

SPEAKER_05
