If you're not feeling it, be honest.
SPEAKER_03What's good, what's good, what's good. Welcome back to another episode of the Poneglyph Podcast, where we decode the world of anime and One Piece, one Poneglyph at a time. I'm your host, J aka Mookie Way J. Here with my brother and my co-host, Ja, as always. And this is episode 26. Welcome back, welcome back.
SPEAKER_00Um, excited to be here for sure. My camera acting weird. Okay, there we go, there we go. Yes, sir.
SPEAKER_03Um but yes, so we are back with another episode. I know it's been a couple of weeks since we've had an episode of the pod. Hey, life has been life in. We are trying to get to it as much as we can, and we will stay as consistent as possible. Y'all will never not hear from us at all. We're we're we're always gonna come back with an episode, even if we do have to miss a week or something. But today we got a jam-pack episode. Um, we've missed a few weeks of anime, so we're gonna talk about that, and then we have it's a break week on this week for manga chapters, but we got a good chapter last week that we will discuss at the end of this episode. And of course, we're gonna start things off with our anime world news segment. So we got a lot of things to talk about. How are you feeling today, John? I'm well, man.
SPEAKER_05Uh there's a lot to go over today. I'm ready to catch up.
SPEAKER_03Yep, yep, for sure. Glad to be back. Glad to be back. If y'all are here live with us, or if y'all are catching us on the VOD, make sure y'all smash that like button, leave a comment, or just some sort of response to anything that y'all hear throughout the podcast that y'all want us to talk more about. And then if y'all are listening to our well, first off, if y'all are new, smash that subscribe button as well. And then our audio platform listeners. Make sure y'all leave us a five-star rating and a good review, and we'll make sure to reply to the review for y'all. Um, I seen something recently saying that Apple Podcast is now gonna be allowing video podcast episodes. So if y'all do tap in with us on Apple Podcasts, I don't know about this week, but I will for sure like figure out what it takes to get the video. And if I can have this episode up, cool. Especially, we got a lot of anime uh to look at as well, so that would be better for that. But yeah, stay tuned for that coming soon. Video on Apple Podcasts. They snapped, yeah, yeah. I I got the email, what was it, um a few days ago, maybe, and I was like, okay, I didn't really look too much into it, so I gotta see what it entails because how I upload on audio is like I separate the tracks, only upload the audio, and then it goes to all the platforms. So I don't know if I can do the video with the audio and it separated itself. We'll see. I'll look into it and make sure to lock that in. For sure. But we appreciate everyone who's been helping us build this community and give it help give us a platform to talk about anime in One Piece, man. All right, first and foremost, let's dive right into our anime world news segment. I try not to make it too heavy, but we do got some good uh good points to talk about today. So, first and foremost, we got a few Kagarabachi updates. Kagarabachi anime officially announced for April 2027. Here's what the author had to say about the director. You know the Rock Lee versus Garfight and Naruto, the manga version is great, of course, but isn't the anime version incredibly cool? Well, the very person who brought that scene to life is our director. I think that's huge. Uh highly anticipated manga, highly anticipated anime, and we all know how classic that scene is, and that scene is from early 2000s. Imagine what he's able to work with, and you know, he's just a director, so it's it's not uh every aspect of production, but being the director and the choreograp uh choreographer, I guess, of the whole thing and all the fights. Man, that's exciting. What do you what are your thoughts about that, Ja?
SPEAKER_05Uh, you know, that's an iconic scene in all of anime. So for sure. I'm excited to see what he could do. Um, I haven't dove into Kagabachi yet, but I've heard great things and I know it's only been out for so long, so should be pretty late.
SPEAKER_03As a manga reader, I think you I think you should check it out. Um it's really good. I need to get back into my read. I think I'm on like chapter 25. There's a lot, lot more now. But um I'm very excited, especially for the anime. I'm definitely gonna make sure I'm reading between now and April 2027. But exciting to see that at least there's a director that we know his work and we've seen some good things of it. I'm just super excited. I'm definitely on that hype train for Kagurabachi. Uh moving to the next point. Speaking of, Kagurobachi's manga sales are already closing in on Jujutsu Kaisens. While the anime still has a while before it actually airs, the impact of the announcement is already being felt in the series manga sales. It might soon propel it above the biggest dark battle manga of today. Just going on about how anticipated it is. They announced the anime, and you for the podcast is my witness. Wait, way before any announcements, I was saying it's gonna rival JJ K. Like I see it being a J. Hey, am I wrong?
SPEAKER_04No, I already said that.
SPEAKER_03Come on now, come on now. It's go check the pod. It's out there.
SPEAKER_00I just that's that's the vibe I got from it.
SPEAKER_03And it's a I didn't I didn't really have a uh genre to put it in, but that's a good, I think that's a good description of dark battle manga, dark battle anime, because that's what it is. It's not sorcerers, it's not but like the the chainsaw man, the jujitsu kaizens, the kag of bachi, I kind of grouped those in the same style of anime, and um I think it's gonna hit just like one of those. What studio did they say they were in? Um was it Mappa? No, they denied Mappa. I could look it up right now. No, they did not define it. No, yeah, they they denied it.
SPEAKER_00Uh production. Oh, I spelled that wrong. Um Studio Syptic. Sipic.
SPEAKER_03Scipic? Side games, yes, Sypic. Oh, oh, I did alright. Remember I reported it. It was a few weeks ago. Nah, it was it was a couple months ago. Um when they announced it. It's like the gaming. They they they focused on games, but they're uh transitioning to remember, yeah. So that's that's what it is.
SPEAKER_00Um shoot. They're coming from games, you might get a bocce game.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Um, it's funny because I don't know what games speci I can't remember off the top of my head what games specifically they've done. But anime gaming has typically had very good, like um just action scenes and stuff. So I'm excited to see what they do with it. Manga sales are going up. It's uh it's it's gonna it's gonna be one of the months. Once it drops, it's gonna be one of the ones. It's gonna be right, it's like the trajectory of anime by this time next year, once once it's hitting the numbers are gonna be crazy. It's gonna break some records. And I I don't even think that's necessarily saying it's going to be better than Jujutsu Kaisen or anything like that. But in terms of like at least first few weeks, when people are really highly anticipating it, it's it's gonna do some uh do some hot numbers. Just just off of the timing, I think. We're getting so much this year of just good anime. Next year, they're already confirming stuff. Judutu Kaisan's probably gonna come out around next year, too. That time. So it's like just the timing and everything, it's gonna go crazy.
SPEAKER_00Do you think uh you'll see some cosplayers? For sure. This year, for sure. We'll we'll probably see a couple.
SPEAKER_03Um there's not many uh color spreads or anything that we've seen. It's definitely you could tell it's it's a lot of blacks and stuff, and maybe some some some reds and stuff here and there. You can kind of tell that based on the art style, but I'm sure we'll see, we'll see a couple.
SPEAKER_00I'm excited. I'm excited. This one, this one's for you, my boy.
SPEAKER_03Drake and One Piece fans are losing it over this unexpected anime reference on his newest Iceman album Rollout. Drake reportedly referenced Admiral Alkiji, aka Kuzon, with the line, I could never be as cold as Kuzon, but I'll try. Talk to him, my boy. This this this right up your mind.
SPEAKER_04I didn't this is news to me. I didn't even oh it went over your head. Yeah, I didn't see that.
SPEAKER_03Don't tell me, don't tell me it went over your head.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03What? I don't I haven't listened to it. I haven't I'm I'm just now ripped figuring out that he dropped three albums. Yeah, I gotta catch up. Um I'm gonna look at I haven't heard I I don't even know what none of it sounds like.
SPEAKER_01Damn.
SPEAKER_00Hey, life's been life in man. No, yeah. That's real.
SPEAKER_04I I'm still looking for the song on it though.
SPEAKER_03But I'm over here when I'm when I was writing this for the notes, I was like, I gotta I gotta throw this in there. I was like, John's gonna have so much to say the whole time. He like, damn, I don't even hey, I'll give you that. It was a lot to listen to. Like, he dropped a lot. He dropped a lot. So to be able to dissect every song, I I don't expect you to be there. And it's not it's not like if this was just one Drake album, then John would probably have everything dissected by now. But it's three, so I'll get I'll I'll spare him and Lucky dropped too. I'll spare him.
SPEAKER_05Shout out, Drake, shout out Lucky.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, but I I gotta tap in. But I I was seeing um around the anime community that that line was standing out. Uh people being surprised that Drake would even have like a Kuzon reference in there, and like like dropping the name Kuzon itself is just ball knowledge because like his alias is Al Kiji. Like he's formerly known as Al Kiji, but his name, his real name is Kuzon. So like that's some that's some ball knowledge. I don't know what Drake knows, and you know, if that was just something from someone around him that was like, hey, put him on game, but that's a bar.
SPEAKER_00That's a bar. That's a bar. I I could never be as cold as Kuzan, but I'll try. I gotta find out.
SPEAKER_05Shouts out.
SPEAKER_03Shouts out. Yeah, we we we we may have to come back to that in a future episode, just talk about it for a few minutes. See your real thoughts. Speaking of One Piece, One Piece has officially surpassed Dragon Ball as Toei Animation's highest earning franchise for 2025 and 2026. One Piece earned around 28 billion yen, which estimates to 167 million dollars US, while Dragon Ball made about 20.7 billion yen, which is 132 million US dollars. Um no surprise there. It's not when I first read it, like kind of the headlines were making it seemed like a complete uh surpass. So I don't know. This I know this is just specifically for the past year in sales. So um, I do expect Dragon Ball to still probably be the number one in total, like ever. I expect One Piece will probably surpass at some point, maybe, but Dragon Ball, they're still coming out with stuff, it's still relatively good, you know, to the Dragon Ball fans. I don't think it's anything overwhelming like what we're getting from One Piece and what we will be getting from you know Toei moving forward with One Piece, but Dragon Ball has been still dropping stuff, they're dropping remakes with Toei and everything. So I do expect the numbers to still be high and very competitive, nonetheless. Dragon Ball is just Dragon Ball, hate it or love it, it is the granddaddy. But yeah, how do you feel about you know just the statement that One Piece officially had a had a year where it out outdid the the OG?
SPEAKER_05I mean now you know you see it all across the world now in social media, it's everywhere, so it all makes sense. I'm I'm caught up on the the money conversion from yen to dollars. Yeah, I'm like, whoa.
SPEAKER_01But uh yeah.
SPEAKER_05They did their thing, you know, it's everywhere now. I just seen uh the Boston Red Sox had their whole a whole One Piece day.
SPEAKER_03Um they do that out here with the Texas Rangers. Uh they do it, they do it with a lot of anime. Like I know this year it was Jujusu Kaisen Day, the Texas Rangers, but I do know they have like a One Piece Day and stuff. You know, One Piece is collaboring with multiple different franchises for a lot of stuff. A lot more than Dragon Ball now.
SPEAKER_00So you kind of do expect my headphone die? One of them.
SPEAKER_05Um yeah, but from from sports to other f movies, other forms of entertainment, One Piece taking over now. One Piece is in the the Marvel universe. One piece is I'm not a lot.
SPEAKER_03I don't remember what it was. Yeah, I got I I got that in the that's the next that's the next topic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But One Piece Um definitely surpassing Dragon Ball last year. Oh yeah. Or this past year, I'll say.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Is uh definitely a feat. Especially because this is Toei animation, mind you. Especially because One Piece took that break and they they they cut off seasons and stuff. So I I I just think that's a W.
SPEAKER_00And that goes to show that as long as they do this seasonal uh One Piece right it could be cooking.
SPEAKER_03We got a lot of a lot more years of One Piece to go. Even to catch up to this point in the manga is probably gonna take us to the top of 2028.
SPEAKER_00Maybe longer. Yeah, seasonal because we we getting shoot, we already almost done with this season.
SPEAKER_03We got two, four, six, seven episodes. So we got what?
SPEAKER_00Five left? Six left? Yeah. Sheesh. But alright. Next topic.
SPEAKER_03Like you were saying, Marvel Universe. Jujutsu Kaisen and Gachiakuta are now officially canon in the Marvel Universe. And Storm, Earth's mightiest mutant, number four, Marvel features Tsukuna appearing in his iconic battle stance, directly referencing the Shibuya incident. The issue also includes a subtle nod to Gachy Yakuta showing trash beasts. Um you watch Gachya Kuta, right? Uh not all of it, but enough. Yeah, you know what trash beasts are.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And then um Sukuna. With the Sukuna thing, they directly say Shibuya Arc or like Shibuya incident.
SPEAKER_00They show his phone that I don't know how they're doing it, but hey, it's it's canon.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. I seen it in like a poster. I think it was like the specifically the JJ JJK one, it was like a poster I saw.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Um I'm watching I'm re-watching with my uh significant other right now. I can't wait to get into it.
SPEAKER_03You gotta uh finish Gacha Kuta too season one, it's good.
SPEAKER_00Nah, it it was cool.
SPEAKER_05It was just what really threw me off was the power system. I just I gotta go back a couple episodes, sit down and really lock in.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Because they especially towards the end of the season, they really like come together with everything. Like early on, I don't know how far you got, but early on, they don't even like I don't think anybody really understood the power. Well, they know that their power system, but like the main character, they didn't really understand.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_05I was like, what are we doing?
SPEAKER_03It it it comes together. It comes together. It's a good season. I watch it, bro.
SPEAKER_05I'm kind of not a fan of the the art either, but it's a I'll watch it for the story.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Nitpicky ass. Damn. Alright. Speak your truth. It's hard.
SPEAKER_04I can't let they all can't they all can't get a pass for me. I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_00I'll forever be nitpicky about that. I get it. I get it.
SPEAKER_03Um, some unfortunate news. Ed Turner, the founder of Cartoon Network, has passed away. Shows like Ben 10, Tom and Jerry, encourage the cowardly look dog, Powerpuff Girls, Dexter Laboratory, and countless others to find an entire generation of kids around the world. For many of us, Cartoon Network wasn't just entertainment, it was our childhood. Hallo to Ted Turner. Thank you for gifting us. I mean, personally, Cartoon Network was my favorite out of the big three kids stations. Um, I just found myself watching that most, and then when I my favorite show wasn't on that, that's when I branched off and would go to Disney or Nickelodeon. But Cartoon Network was definitely my staple growing up in the 2000s.
SPEAKER_00And um, yeah, man.
SPEAKER_03Just crazy how uh how life is yeah, nothing lasts forever, but at least Cartoon Network will be able to keep going on. It's taking definitely a turn, and can't I don't even know if kids watch cartoons anymore like that, but who knows?
SPEAKER_00It will always be cherished. Not for sure. And honest thing, he gave he gave us uh a lot of these shows he listed are pretty iconic. Well, yeah.
SPEAKER_03And you know, obviously he's not the creator of all the shows, but um he's the one who gave them the platform, put it all together, like the big boss behind all of them. Yeah, you know, everything you gotta think when you're creating a uh a network station like that, all these shows you know are coming across your desk. You're proving everything, you're denying everything. So, you know, despite how you look at it in his role, we got these gems because of him, one way or another. And uh he gave that platform, he built Cartoon Network up to but he was at least the core of bringing Cartoon Network up to what we know its peak to be. So many uh rest in peace, condolences to his family, and I know he lived a long life. I believe he was 85-ish when he passed.
SPEAKER_00So at least he got to see the highs and the lows of Cartoon Network. All right, a lot of members brought to us.
SPEAKER_03Last but not least, an anime fan from the Philippines named his son Naruto Uzumaki Namakaze as a tribute to his favorite anime. His family was against naming the child Naruto, but that didn't stop him. He also added that he wasn't satisfied with just Naruto, so he added Uzumaki Namakaze as well.
SPEAKER_00That's a man standing on principles. Hey. The child of prosperity. The family begged him. He saw something that boy.
SPEAKER_03Oh man. Now he gotta sacrifice himself in order to for that kid to truly be great.
SPEAKER_00I mean, he can't have acid, right?
SPEAKER_05He's gonna be a prodigy, bro.
SPEAKER_00It's part of the story. It's part of the story. He gotta he gotta make that sacrifice though. Nah, that's funny. Um he's aging, so I guess it's a little bit better. No, I mean, but I personally would not name my kid a direct a direct name from like word for name for name from from a character.
SPEAKER_03Like, does he still have your last name, or did you completely disgrace that he's just not so mocking him? Yes, all right. I respect him, man. I I wonder I wonder what this kid will grow up to be. I hope to hear about him in the future.
SPEAKER_00Okage, of course. I mean, of course. Of course, man. Of course. Um nonetheless, hey, salute to him.
SPEAKER_03Wish him and his family the best. I hope uh his family was able to accept the baby nonetheless by his name, and I hope he enjoys his name.
SPEAKER_05He will have a lot of attention like like the nine too.
SPEAKER_00Be like, cool, whoop your ass. Dang. Oh yeah. But hey.
SPEAKER_03That wraps up our anime world news segment. Tried to get through that pretty smoothly because we do have a few episodes to watch today. Um, I'm excited. We have missed a few weeks, so binging these three episodes with y'all should be pretty exciting. We should have a lot to talk about. Um, what we're gonna do, we're just gonna roll through all three of them. And if we're gonna because for audio platforms, we're gonna do our best to commentate throughout it. This is our first time watching this as well, so we do still want to make sure we're hearing everything and getting the experience on the subtitles, but we will commentate as much as we can for audio platform listeners, and then that way, we will just roll through the episodes, talk through, talk through what we need to talk through. And then at the end, we'll summarize and discuss like the major points that we've seen from all three, and if we have to make any mod comparisons and and whatnot, we'll do that once we get there. If y'all are listening to us on our audio platform, just know y'all can check us out on YouTube so y'all will be able to get a little bit of the visual and see our reactions with it.
SPEAKER_00And soon, like I said, Apple Podcasts will be available with video. Alright, I was getting everything set up.
SPEAKER_03You can see everything on your end.
SPEAKER_01Uh yeah.
SPEAKER_03So I I I think I see what's going on here. So last week, remember last time you remember this was just 1159. I think I think they just released the episode without adding a description. Because now it has an episode name and description on it.
SPEAKER_00And this recent episode that came out uh today just says 1162. But let's get into 1160.
SPEAKER_03Make sure y'all leave a like if y'all are here with us live or y'all catching the vibe. And if y'all are listening to us on audio platforms, make sure y'all leave a five-star rating for us. We appreciate all of y'all for tapping in and rocking with us. We're diving into our tales from the new world segment. And we're starting off with episode 1160. This title is An Encounter on a Snowfield. Loki the Accursed Prince. Yes, sir. The description goes leaving the Black Kingdom behind, Luffy and the others find themselves facing a vast snowy landscape and a massive suspension bridge. They resolved to move forward only to be halted by approaching figures and a mysterious roar.
SPEAKER_00Let's dive straight into it. So we'll we're gonna vibe out to the intro on this first one, and then we'll skip, we'll skip it on the other ones. I just like dissecting the intro a little bit more saying the gems that we use. For this season, yeah. This is not this is the same one from those other episodes? Yeah. Yeah, it is. Oh yeah. I can't wait for that, boy. I can't wait for it.
SPEAKER_03Everything pretty much moving forward. Like I think after this episode, the end of this episode, moving forward. I just can't wait.
SPEAKER_00I can't honestly, I still can't believe the flashback happened. Yeah. Oh, he's fallen from the sky. Damn, it's been a minute. Let me catch up talking about easy gear for a con gun. An encounter on a snowpill, Loki, the curse of prince. This size, bro, is throwing me off. I'm just like trying to think about Gobon and how he's been living. Oh my God. Because Gabon's smaller than Brooke and Jean Bay. Nice, nice. About later where we're at in the manga, and like the movement across Elbeth. That's neither here nor there. Bro, look at this thing, bro. That's crazy. Man, anime, anime watchers.
SPEAKER_03We have when we get to certain things, we have so much to talk about. So much to talk about. Just about size alone. It is this is what I'm I've been waiting for.
SPEAKER_00I I needed to see how big the scale was. Oh hell. It's over. Not again. I don't know if I could blame them. Dang. They so green, let me stop do this.
SPEAKER_03They're supposed to carry 'em? Yeah, come on. Come on, bro. You want to be a brand more of the thing, but you're not going to do that about it.
SPEAKER_00Is this his fame song? You feel me? He got to get these back.
SPEAKER_03How do they say what to make all it in the newspaper and go to egg? This newspaper is small.
SPEAKER_00Okay. I'm just wondering, man. I'm just wondering. Inflation. My boy Frankie clean. Did I not realize how clean he was on the manga? I never like said nothing about it. Oh my God. The only person I know there would be Robin. Everybody else wasn't there. Like that. Oh, that's that. Huh? I remember reading this now. I like that. I like the outlook. Silhouette. Even though we know what he looks like. Yeah. This song is so cold. Yes, sir. That's his best on screen feat to this day. That's a beautiful. We don't gotta talk about it, but give me your rank ranking with uh yes, sir.
SPEAKER_03Uh without further ado, episode eleven fifty-one is titled Adam's Deal. Loki of the Underworld and Luffy. Luffy encountered Loki. Oh, sabbed beasts crowd around, staring Luffy down. Meanwhile, and the others on the suspension bridge realize someone is following us.
SPEAKER_00All right. Let's dive into eleven sixty-one. Oh my gosh. I can't lie, he's stuck. You say what? I can't lie that Mammoth was stuck. Yeah. Green difficult. The mammoth is done. I can't lie. Look, Luke can't sense that bit. Yo, he slid faster than any straw hat. Go. I don't like the I mean, I guess this one has music, but does it have like it's all yeah. Lead into it with the Soundtrack of the plan in the episode. Yeah, come on. Dang. Ignore him. That boy about to die. So like I'd rather just fight on to get away with this. Well, y'all leave a like if y'all hear it us live or catching us live. Yes. Strong as heat for sure. I like your design. Which one? Bansons. He's cooler in anime. Yeah, I I like them. Goldberg. And Gerd. Wait, what I hate? That's why Brooke getting busy multi professional. No. Holy, man, hesitate with that one. Boy, what? You're good in my book. And they joined at the same time recently. Who Robin and Frankie? Officially, yeah. Robin was playing around. You know what I just thought of?
SPEAKER_03There's always this uh I'm gonna make this brief. There's always this theory going around there. The one piece world before the flooding and stuff that Vegabon talked about in the speech. It was all one thing. That's funny. And then it's like going around, especially as of recently.
SPEAKER_00It's like if that was true, LVAP is just the area that everything's just thoughts on that one? Quick thoughts? Um again. What you think? Uh down to uh Lord. Not so much happened. Sorry. Introduction about that.

SPEAKER_03Um, give me your thoughts about all three of them. Anything that stood out to you that you were looking forward to? Talk to me.
SPEAKER_05Uh a little late, but the big revealed look, he's here. I'm glad to see him animated finally. Uh voiced by the same actor as Gojo. Still sounds a little different, but good range. Um the animation's on par, bro. It's uh the animation's going, flowing. The uh the pacing has been immaculate. I can't complain no way. Yeah. Um for the last episode, I'll give it a damn room. Because you get that little sweet treat at the end for what's to come. Yeah. Um, and yeah, we're kinda we're kinda here. We're kinda seeing it, bro. Yeah. It's about to get very lit from here, so for sure, for sure. I need to see more of it already. I wish we had more.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I'm excited. Um, I think roughly around six more episodes left in this uh season that we're calling it.
SPEAKER_00Um we should see some good some good action.
SPEAKER_03Um people should be popping up soon. Yes, sir. Seeing some things. So yeah, like like Jaw said, we're here. LBAF is here. Um, I I I I'm not to cheese or cheat in any way, but I think I'm gonna pig I'm gonna piggyback a little bit off of Ja's uh ratings for the episodes. I kind of agree. Um for all of them. They were all good, looked very good animation-wise. You could tell um the break was definitely needed. They they really did very well in the um episodes, the soundtracks, the sound effects. Um, we know the sound effects person recently stepped away uh before LBF started, and whoever took his role has been doing a great job. I think the sound effects are great. We've seen uh Luffy transform into his gear four a couple times. I think that sounded real great. I really like Loki's little uh soundtrack that he's gotten so far. Um seeing I it's definitely what I pictured while reading, like looking at everything, actually fleshed out, animated on screen. We're seeing everything being played out. It's it's great so far. Um, I'm enjoying it. Like you said, pacing's pacing's good. We're getting a chapter episode, really can't complain there. Anything too anything more than that, um I'm sure it would be nice pacing-wise, but like still anything more than that. I feel like we're just too we would be catching up at too fast of a rate, and then we'll kind of be in the same boat again. I think as long as we stick to the one chapter an episode, you know, there are gonna be chapters where there's just more dialogue than action. That's just how it is. That's how Oda Oda writes it. You know, manga on the manga side of things, when we're reading, whether it's a long dialogue chapter or you know, an action chapter, we're still enjoying it. So I imagine the same for the for the anime. You know, there's gonna some be some weeks where it's a lot of boxing, there's gonna be some weeks where it's not. Regardless, we're in the arc where, especially after egghead, I just rewatched Egghead. Like I finished a few days ago, so trust me, it's fresh on my mind. After uh seeing Egghead, this arc is gonna be like amazing. We're getting it all, we're getting lore, we're getting action, we're getting dialogue, we're getting questions answered. So stay tuned, open your seatbelts, and I don't want to get a complainer for the from the community because so far, from what I've seen, there's really nothing to complain about. You know, you can you can nitpick here and there, but you can't say anything has been bad or they've they've gone in the wrong direction on anything uh since they've restarted this. But yeah, I'm enjoying it. Any final thoughts on the uh Tales from the New World anime segment?
SPEAKER_05Nah, that's it for me. I'm loving it though.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, for sure. For sure. Um hopefully we won't have the audio listeners. I know that was probably a little bit rough, you know, with us sitting there for a while watching these episodes. Hopefully, we won't have another week where we have to catch up on three. You know, some some weeks there will be the ones where we have to watch two and uh two and uh episode, but hopefully we won't get to this point again. Um if anything, we'll kind of plan it out if we have to be a week behind. I really wouldn't mind because once we go on break, it's not like we're gonna be continuously trying to play catch up. So as long as we're covering it and knocking it out, it's followed by me. But yes, definitely enjoying these episodes a lot. Um and that will wrap up our Tales from the New World segment. If y'all are anime only, we appreciate y'all for tapping in. Moving forward, there will be a lot of manga spoilers as we talk about the most recent manga chapter and some of the stuff that's been happening past this point in the anime. So, if y'all are anime only's, smash that like button before y'all head out. Leave us a five-star rating if y'all are listening to us, and we appreciate y'all so so much.
SPEAKER_00Really appreciate it.
SPEAKER_03Um, yeah, for our manga only's let's dive into our manga mania segment. We have a good one today, chapter 1182, that came out last week, as this week is a break week, but we will talk about last week's chapter as there's a lot of points that we can discuss, and then we'll wrap up today's episode. But without further ado, let's dive straight into this segment.
SPEAKER_00Chapter 1182 titled Zaza.
SPEAKER_03All right, so if y'all are familiar with this segment, I will go read through my chapter summary. It's gonna be a little bit, and then after, Ja will kind of lead us on the uh page-by-page breakdown of the chapter, and then I'll add in my extra top points as we go.
SPEAKER_00All right, let's get straight into the chapter set um summary. So, first things first, um we have the cover page.
SPEAKER_03We have a reader request, uh, Isho, which is Fuji Taurus name, savoring a bowl of Uran, painstakingly crafted by a fox, and Tanuki by Toshika Zoo. Did you have any thoughts on the um reader requests?
SPEAKER_00Nah, honestly, no.
SPEAKER_05Uh shout out Fuji Tora. I wonder what role, you know, just food for thought. I wonder what role he plays later on, sooner than later, maybe, maybe not.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Um what were you saying about that?
SPEAKER_03So yeah, for sure. Um, last time, last few things we've seen of him, he's just blatantly, you know, doing his own thing. He's saying, I'm an admiral. Y'all gave me this position, I'm gonna use it how I want to use it. Yeah, and um we do we we we've seen a few times where uh Fujitora likes to chill and enjoy some food. So nice little callback. Cool to see Fujitora. Didn't really have much for it either. But yeah, let's uh dive right in. Alright, to begin the chapter. Loki says he can still feel Emu's presence after blasting him, and that it is difficult to keep him in sight when he becomes so big. Emu, meanwhile, says he never expected to see Needhauger again, labeling him a traitor before he coughs violently. It begins to snow, and Emu calls it expected as Needhogger's affinity with Ragnir, which is confirmed to be a devil fruit user with the power of the Risu Risu no Mi model, Radatasker, was all always high even in the past. He also muses how Ragnir looked the same as it waited for a new master to serve. But Ragnir, enraged by Emu, and it along with Loki unleashed a simultaneous attack called Ragnar Goero, firing a blast of lightning and snow at Emu. However, Emu counters with a move of its own. Uh TC Meetle unleashing a barrage of black fireballs that set the forest below them ablaze. Bonnie watches the fight from afar and calls it scary, just as Lilith tells her to come back over to her. Bonnie does it. Bonnie does so and assures Lilith she will not join the fight. And even if she wanted to, Lilith will would forbid her because she is her guardian now. Lilith wonders who Emu is, stating he commands the Knights of God yet is not one of the five Gorse. She surmises that with the world government having existing for eight centuries, power struggles would only lead to the creation of more darkness. Just as she is about to say something, though, Kanji, who she was attending to, gets back up to rejoin the fight. Despite Bonnie warning him about his injuries, Sanji says he has no choice, as he recalls when killing him found him being paralyzed. He told him he was going to finish their mission and resume kidnapping the children. Before leaving, by using his body as a springboard to launch himself in retaliation to Sanji's earlier victory against him. Sanji then takes off into the air and declares he will not let Elbat, the country that Luffy and Usopp love so much, suffer like this. So he admits it is also the home of beautiful giant women that he enjoys. At the Owl Library, Robin and Saul discover a hidden tunnel around the back that leads to a secret room. And it is here that Biblo took all of the books. Robin and Saul express gratitude to Biblo for saving the books while Saul admits he is even more confused by the nature of Biblo's existence than he was before. As for Somers, he uses his enhanced strength from Emu's omen to grab another giant ship to transport the children and demands the giants to bring them to him in five minutes. At Western Village, Chopper treats Gerd's fingers, saying that the cut Emu made was so sharp and clean, her finger her fingertips will reattach, but it will take months for her to fully recover. Gerd thanks Chopper, but expresses frustration that she cannot help others despite being a doctor herself. Calloon thanks uh Chopper for treating Ripley and everyone else, but he says he merely performed. Emergency care, and once his disaster is over, he can treat everyone properly. Roto offers to give Gerd his fingers, but she nonchalantly rejects him, though she admits she came to respect him a bit after seeking him, seeing him risk his life for his brother, which makes him excitement excited to the point where he gets annoyed nosebleed. Zorro, meanwhile, is getting a ride from Goldberg, who at this point is the only member of the new giant warrior pirates not badly wounded. As he expresses expresses his gratitude to Zorro for his help, something Zoro talks up to Luffy's belief that the country of his friends is also his country, therefore solidifying Hajuden's immense respect of him. Zorro then says that Goldbird says to Goldbird that Emu's power is nothing like he had seen before. So they need to finish this fight quickly before things truly get out of hand. Killingham contacts Somers and informs him that he messed up because he accidentally created an MMA of what he himself is afraid of, which Summers chews him out for as it will scare him too. Still, Killingham assures he can control the MMA, but they need to hurry up and finish the mission. Summers asks about Gunko, and Killingham says he saw her on the way over, but thinks she has perished. Though shocked, Summers accepts this and says that Emu's body cannot withstand outside of the Holy Land. But the fact that he is here in person means the both of them need to make sure they do not disappoint him. It then begins to rain, and the downpour is severe enough to flood the western village as a as a large arm made of water grabs the children as per Killingham's orders. According to Killingham, Marizua is situated above the rain clouds. So rain is actually a terrifying thing for the world nobles. And it is the very thing he personally fears that he created to finish their mission. Zorro sees the chaos at the village but decides to keep moving forward. At the same time, moving past Sanji, who is heading in the other direction towards the village. Both of them tell one another to make sure they do their jobs properly as they prepare to battle the Knights of God.
SPEAKER_00First off, great chapter. I do want to apologize for my reading.
SPEAKER_03I am exhausted, zero sleep last night. So, like, as I'm reading this, my mind is everywhere. But that's neither here nor there. Y'all get the point. Yes, sir. Um, initial thoughts on this chapter before we dissect it.
SPEAKER_05Boom. Internet sensation. This one uh really struck up the community just off the name itself, you know. If you know you know. If you know you know. Especially being uh you know we just got past last month's holl when last month's holidays.
SPEAKER_01Oda must have been celebrated.
SPEAKER_05Um but no, to start off, we uh Loki Loki and uh Emu still in the grid. Um we see, you know, the f I feel like the effects of being in the lower world for Emu is starting to show. Um I mean as long as you know as as as well as them battling, Loki's doing what he can to Emu.
SPEAKER_00Even though most attacks seem like they've been uneffective, but we see some blood.
SPEAKER_05Um how do you feel about the the giant form being, you know, it's he he mentions it's hard to it's like the second time he mentioned it already, like it's hard to keep track of once when he was fighting Gunko, and now when he's fighting um now when he's fighting Emu.
SPEAKER_03Um it's a bit irritating because ever since we first get introduced to Loki getting the fruit when we see him kill Harold, it kind of seemed like in that castle he wasn't this form. So, like we kind of think or let we're led to believe that there is a hybrid form for Loki. And it is a bit irritating that we haven't seen it yet because it seems like it would be uh a good balance where he could still access some of his uh um devil fruit powers without having to give up the huge size. Um because to me it's kind of giving Loki not a I I I don't want to say like uh a minus or anything or losing points, but it's giving him a bit of a buffer in his fighting to where we've seen him have it have two times now have to switch back and forth instead of being able to just effectively like we've seen Kaido kind of do it, but he was also using each form to his advantage, whereas I feel like Loki's only really good at range with with this form. And if I I do wish there was some sort of hybrid form that we've gotten. Maybe there's not one at all because he hasn't used it. Um, I really don't know at this point. But uh shoot, I'm I'm kind of I'm I'm annoyed with you, Loki. Like, if he's so small, then then do something else.
SPEAKER_05Well, how do how do you feel? What are your what are your thoughts? Um not to rag on him anymore, but like do you feel like there's a chance he's his fruit, he hasn't mastered his fruit all that well since some of his life he's been locked up. But I mean he's he's had like it all from the time he ate it, he had six years to be able to do what he did with in that forum. Do you think that has to that affects his abilities right now?
SPEAKER_03Um overall, as a it's hard to say because we see we see people like Luffy, who's awakened in such a short amount of time. We've seen, I mean, yeah, like he's had the fruit for a while, but for it to be challenged to where he's like from from from like majority of the time he didn't even have a gear two where he had this fruit. Like he just developed that when he became a pirate within the past two years. Um, we've seen Blackbeard, he got the Gora at the Marine Ford War, and now Oda claims that he's already mastered it two years later. So it's it's it's kind of like hard for me to sit here and give him that pass and be like, oh yeah, he doesn't have it long enough. Um when we know he's he's at least encountered people like Shanks, so it's like you've had time to really put your fruit to the test.
SPEAKER_00Um but I really don't know.
SPEAKER_03We've only kind of heard of this form thus far, even when Emu initially uh was talking to Loki and was like, oh, there was part of a giant pirate crew, the the captain was bigger than everybody else, and then there was also this mysterious giant dragon or giant creature. So we never really heard of anything describing his hybrid form, not that we have really for anybody in terms of description, but I don't know if it's a mastery thing, or if I don't I don't know if the fruit just doesn't have it because what would Luffy's hybrid form be? He's still a mythical Zoan, but like I don't really think we have hybrid form. Yeah, I wouldn't go like his gears, but like I don't really consider that hybrid. I I just think that's utilization of his fruiting, and then his awakened form is gear five, so I don't there's no real in-between. Um, so like another mythical zone, maybe it's just potentially the dragon need hogger, and then like that's just it.
SPEAKER_00Um because now that I think about it, all of the other most of the other mythical zones we've seen. I mean, does Yamato have a hybrid? I feel like she just kind of she does. I feel like she just switched over to the um yeah, like the wolf dog uh Yeah, we haven't seen her standing up or anything. I can't remember like a a mix. I mean Kaido obviously had a hybrid. Um trying to think of others Sengoku that didn't have it didn't have a hybrid. What's his name?
SPEAKER_03Marco. Marco, he technically has a hybrid, yeah. Yeah, King technically had a hybrid, I guess. So I mean there are some. And I mean, a dragon, you would kind of think we've seen the other dragons like with kind of other dragon like type with the hybrid. So you would kind of think just a giant Loki with some wings and maybe some claws would be a hybrid, but I don't know.
SPEAKER_05I don't know. I might just went to Mo Momonosuke now. Like he better tee up when the thought gone, he better tee up.
SPEAKER_03Imagine Momo, imagine like an full grown momo with like a hybrid poem, like him mixed with the pink dragon. Clean boy. It could be clean, it could be clean. Alright, uh, let's keep it rolling. Um, a big question that was answered uh that we've had for a while revolving uh Ragnir and Radatasker. Uh confirmed a fruit, not like uh everyone's thought about an entity and stuff. Um did you I have a few things that I wanted to talk about, but let me hear your thoughts first.
SPEAKER_05Uh hammer, Ragnir, uh squirrel, squirrel, fruit, mist.
SPEAKER_03Scoot a little bit towards your uh Luffy poster.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah. Yeah, that way. Really?
SPEAKER_03Um I got the manga panel up, but it was blocking out the face with the Model Ice Squirrel, Radatasker.
SPEAKER_05The hammer must have fallen on the fruit fruit.
SPEAKER_00That's the only way, bro.
SPEAKER_05Um before we get there though, I wanted to talk about the traitor line from Emu. Oh think thou and I would meet again in this world. Traitor. Boom.
SPEAKER_00You think they jumped Nika? I mean Joy Boy. You you you you know something? Okay, one. Here here's a here's a few things I want to talk about that.
SPEAKER_03I'm glad I'm glad you brought this back up. I was confused. Needhogger was supposedly the rival to Nika. Emu mainly talks about Joy Boy. Yeah. Nika's first world, Joy Boy's second world. So I'm trying to confuse, I'm trying to connect the dots between where Need Hugger is tied in with Joy Boy as well. Because and here here's my other thought on the specific traitor thing.
SPEAKER_00I read this, I still think I I I think Emu, possibly Need Hogger, possibly Joy Boy.
SPEAKER_03I feel like it's it's I'm thinking it's uh they might have been on the same page about something or or or came to an agreement about something, and then Needhogger and Joy Boy or whatever the case turned against Emu because Emu was in the wrong, or they felt emu was in the wrong or something, and this is why he's calling him a traitor. Because a lot of people I see are are starting to bring up like, oh, what if Joy Boy was like actually like wrong and stuff, and because now we're we're saying emu use this traitor a lot more, and or this this type of attitude when he's talking when he's reliving the past, like he thinks about Joy Boy, he's like he says like violence, or what did he say, like violence conquers it all, or something along those lines a few chapters ago, and now we're seeing Traitor, and I'm kind of like along the lines of maybe, and it brings up when when Vegapunk's talking about um when he was giving his message, he's like, I don't know enough to call it a battle of right or wrong, or good or evil. He said, I didn't just call it a battle of ideals. I think that's kind of tying into this, to where like their ideals were just different, and emu's just viewing them as traitors, even though emu might have been the wrong in the wrong, emu might have gotten corrupted by the greed and the power lust and whatever. And they was like, hey, we gotta stop emu before this happens, and he looks at them as a traitor. That's kind of how I'm viewing this, and I'm taking it. But that question did pop up because I'm just like, I'm still trying to connect that. I it there's still too much gaps between because we we earlier when we're learning about Needhogger, Jarul was connecting him with Nika, and now Emu's coming along. When he first got there, he said, ah, Nika, Needhogger. And that was the first time we heard Emu say something about Nika directly, because Emu has always referenced Joy Boy when it comes to the fruit, when it comes to anything along those lines, he's always said Joy Boy. And then now he said, like, even when when Saturn when they left Egghead and Saturn died, he's like, You let Joy Boy get away. And so it's like, but we're we know there these are separate points in time. Like Joy Boy wasn't Nika, they just all had the Nika fruit. I'm just confused on where Needhogger lines up. Like, did he know Joy Boy? Was he and possibly a giant? We know they live for hundreds of years, so maybe he knew both. I just don't know.
SPEAKER_00I just all right, so where I'm where I'm leaning with this. Yeah, talk to me. Let me hear it. The God of War and Nico. That was the first world, and they they were against each other, they battled against each other. In the episode today, it says the the sun god died in Elbath, or warland.
SPEAKER_03Right.
SPEAKER_05I mean, I guess it's expected the god of war to be a giant as well, right?
SPEAKER_03Right, right. And this is yes. And are we I I think I'm I'm I'm gonna like give that 98% because it's been passed, the fruit's been passed down throughout like it's it's safe to that's a safe assumption.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_03Yes.
SPEAKER_05Um, and we're also assuming the God of War had the Needhogger fruit.
SPEAKER_03Yes, for sure.
SPEAKER_05Uh paired with the hammer.
SPEAKER_00Radithasker. Ratasker. Um is D. This is all like L Bap is D.
SPEAKER_05I wanna f I feel like L Bap is D part is for the second world. Do you think so do you so in that first world do you think he's calling him a traitor?
SPEAKER_00Do you think he was on the side with Needhauger in the first world in the God of War? And then they what's it called Nika? Or they fought Nika, whatever, winner win, lose, winner, draw, whatever. Potentially. Okay. Potentially.
SPEAKER_05Um still a lot to be answered. And then, dang, it's like do you think they were teamed up in the second world?
SPEAKER_00Needhogger and would be emo. Maybe it's the other way around.
SPEAKER_03Maybe because the world government came into power 800 years ago. That's when it was created. That's when yes, second world. What if what if uh God of War was on the side against Nika and and helps Emu get to the power, then he realizes how corrupt it is and tries to side with Joy Boy because he's old enough, it could be three, he lives the 300 years.
SPEAKER_00So he could time out because it's it's hard to look at this because the God of War could very much be in the second world.
SPEAKER_03I mean, but when Jaru said he said it was legendary, they had legendary battles with Nika, like he was the one who fought with Nika. True. So, but but here's my point.
SPEAKER_00When the Giants said Joy Boy yet? I have said Joy Boy too. No, they haven't.
SPEAKER_05They haven't? They don't know Joy Boy, yeah.
SPEAKER_03They know Nika. Because when Emet was saying Emmet was, I just watched this in Egghead where Emmet was using the voice of all things with with Luffy and saying Joy Boy, when uh he was with Dorian Braggie, he said, Yeah, they keep calling me Joy Boy. I don't know who that is, and then the Giants were like, Joy Boy, and they were like, We can't even hear that, hear him at all. He's like, Well, he's loud to me. So they they they they kind of just brushed off Joy Boy. So I don't, but here's what I'm thinking. We know that giants live average 300 years, so the first world could have happened, and yes, the god of war could have been fighting Nika in the first world. He could have outlived the first world into the second world and been a part of Joy Boy's story, too. Maybe, and maybe he teamed up with Joy Boy because the L Bath is the connection. Like, we have to we we see the big straw hat in in uh the flower the flower room. It's just like all these things that are kind of like leading towards Elbath. You would kind of think that potentially, I mean, maybe, and maybe that's where Emu's looking at him as a traitor because maybe in the first world he was on Emu's side, and then he switched, and maybe he tries to help Joy Boy win the second war, they lose, and then that's why he's like, hey, you're a traitor, because he switched. He's like, Yeah, Needhawker, you were on my side, and now maybe this is all speculation.
SPEAKER_04This is all headcanning, and but then it's also like he could be saying traitor now, because they teamed up in the super world. That shit stole me.
SPEAKER_05It's good, it's you know, it's uh we'll have our headcanon for now.
SPEAKER_03We'll get a a clear another thing when the narrator at the end of the episode when when he says uh Don't stay too long in Elbath. What if this whole time he's talking about Emu?
SPEAKER_00Emu just slides every time something goes down in LBAF?
SPEAKER_03No, no, no. I mean, Emu can't stay this long and like don't overstay your Oh what's going on with Emu is because Like I just like he said that and we haven't really seen anything connect with that line yet in LBAF. And that's so much further from where we are now to when they said that. That's so many chapters in between. This is the only thing that I'm connecting with. He said, don't overstay your time on LBAF. And it's like right when emu goes, it's like the gorse there, like you know what happens when you leave, and then now they're like, hey, we're on the time limit. We you know, you know it's not okay when he's away from the Capitol. I don't know.
SPEAKER_05What if what if it's what if it's tying into there's still underlying energy to an LBAF as well?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, what I don't know. Just when the narrator says that, what if it's he's like, just mark my words or remember my words, don't overstay. Emo's the only one we've seen who's kind of been pressured for time thus far in LBAF, and it could just be a bigger thing, like him just leaving the Capitol. That's kind of what it's been pointing to, but I don't know, just something to think about.
SPEAKER_00Definitely.
SPEAKER_03Um, Ragnar cussing emo out. What would you would you do? What if Chopper was there to translate? He calls you a bitch. He said he was waiting for his get back.
SPEAKER_04No, yeah, I I was messing with it. He he was popping his he's popping his shit.
SPEAKER_03Hey Ragnar, Ragnar has had some top-tier like comedic moments in this arc. I will never forget the moment where they're getting chewed out and him and Luke. He's like Luffy on the back. But uh, yeah, moving forward. Um when I was writing my I I don't know why I didn't go back to the to the chapter to get the actual translation name because I was trying to uh I was laughing when you heard it. I was I was so because I I was using um something else that helped type my notes.
SPEAKER_00Um where are we at? So yeah, alright. We we basically went over all of that.
SPEAKER_05Ragni and Loki a combined attack. Ragnar 5 arrow.
SPEAKER_00That's like their first collaborative, I feel like. Um I think in this in this form, did they do something? Then they do like a well, I guess it's I think it's it's all been like Ragnir.
SPEAKER_03Well, Ragnir's the snow, and he's the lightning. So I think when when he's swinging, Ragnar's the snow and the lightning, I thought.
SPEAKER_00I mean, but he shoots lightning with his breath. No, yes. Dang. You're right.
SPEAKER_03So I mean, because when he swings, when he swings with Loki alone might just be snow and lightning. No, I don't think he's snow because Ragnar's the ice squirrel. Okay, and and and Rag and he said when Gunko was frozen, Ragnar is the only one who could unfreeze. So I think I think they've been doing combo attacks. This is their first combo with him in his dragon form. I think they still combo when he swings and it's like lightning and freezing. I because I think I've my thought process is Loki's strictly lightning, Ragnir's strictly ice, and everything that they do com combination is just and that's why and the being being like passed down from generation, that's why Emu picked up on it.
SPEAKER_05Or who picked up on it? Snow and lightning. It was Emu, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, well he said something about it here, I think. Or was that last chapter? Oh lightning caused caused by an impact with ice. And then yeah, the affinity for one another was always great. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So because because then it would have been a little bit um because another another like thing that highlights that when Loki attacked Luffy, it was just lightning because Luffy wasn't affected at all. Yeah, so I I think I think all the attacks when they swing, like when he's regular, just ancient giant form, and he swings with Ragnar, and it's kind of like the ice lightning. I think that's just all fusion. I think they're just that insane that um they're able to work smoothly like that. But yeah, I this is their first uh combo when he's in his uh double proof form.
SPEAKER_05And then move I caught her move for the first time. Called her move. Moo uh counters with the new move, Nova, Eclipse, or gazing eclipse.
SPEAKER_00They changed that. Yeah, they did change it. They changed both of them.
SPEAKER_03The Ragnar Elizabeth, yeah, I feel like Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Ragnar Quint.
SPEAKER_03But Quent Quint means five. Yeah, quit means five, right? But they yeah, they changed the emus thing. All these translations everywhere, man.
SPEAKER_05Facts. Um expanding the omen circle above his head as well. Uh substantial amount as well. That's the biggest we've seen it.
SPEAKER_03It's kind of uh I wonder how relative in size that is to Loki right there. I know it's above him, so it's kind of hard, but like, and then he's just throwing, throwing the kind of like gas bomb faces or whatever you want to call them, dark, dark flame faces at Loki. And he's shooting shooting kind of bullets at him.
SPEAKER_05I just made a little side note. I believe that Ragnarok is gonna happen here. I think it's gonna get a lot worse than what we've seen so far.
SPEAKER_03Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_05Um Panzer Lilith and Lilith's trying to identify uh yeah. I didn't have much for the top right. Um there they had their little moment, which I thought was dope.
SPEAKER_03Uh yeah. Um Vegapunk pretty much owning up to Bonnie's childhood being the you know what it is now. Dang, I didn't even think about it. Taking taking responsibility and kind of I mean, yeah, that's that's how I've seen it. It's it's it also is different. I just watch eggheads, so it's all this this was a very good, very cool moment, especially just seeing Kuma's backstory and Bonnie's backstory and stuff, and then seeing that reading this last week, it was nice. I was like, okay, that's that's a good little touch. Like Vegapunk pretty much acknowledged this is the first time Vegapunk's acknowledging, hey, Bonnie, your your care is on me now.
SPEAKER_00Like, yeah, I failed Kuma, you know. Obviously couldn't wasn't able to save Jenny.
SPEAKER_03Jenny didn't wasn't able to get any care by that point, so that's that's that's what I took from that. But I'm kind of I love Bonnie as a character, especially off of Egghead, but I am kind of over uh dramatics around it.
SPEAKER_05Dude, at this point, now thinking about it more and more, it's like Bonnie might just take Vegapunk for the rest of the they might just be a duo on the crew.
SPEAKER_03Um especially since her age, especially since her age like was confirmed that she's 12. Um before I was before that was confirmed, I was a little bit skeptical about maybe joining the crew. Um I didn't love it, but I just thought it could be a possibility. But now that I see her age and stuff, I don't think and Kuma could potentially maybe get fixed a little bit.
SPEAKER_00Um yeah, I I just I just feel like she'll probably rock out with Vega Punk. That'll be good for her. No, no doubt. Um and then yeah, pins the Lilith. Um killing him, popping it, popping his shit after getting beat up. This this omen got them feeling different. Oh yeah. They uh they're feeling it for sure. This is kind of like reminiscent of uh Fishman Island. When they all got perked perked up. Okay.
SPEAKER_05Came back. Um I do also want to mention before we move on to that, uh Lilith trying to identify just going down like the the lineage of the world government and the celestials.
SPEAKER_00Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_05Trying to like put together, piece together who emo could be. Um and I feel like Vegapunk might very much have a good idea or a better description of the two sides that he couldn't justify to say who was right or wrong.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that part was a little confusing to me. Um not that I expected him to know anything, but I expected him to be a little bit more sure. Um, we get the little piece of information that it was known that the name was familiar to Ivankov and stuff, uh Emu's name when Sabo came and reported that back. So it's like little stuff like that, you would kind of I kind of was expecting to be a little bit more.
SPEAKER_00Obviously, he didn't come, his name wasn't said, I don't think, um around Vegapunk or anything for them to be like, oh, emo.
SPEAKER_03But to be so unsure that there's a power uh greater than the five elders, I I kind of was expecting Vegapunk to be a little bit more sure.
SPEAKER_00But yeah, that just goes to show that the world government was pretty good at hiding their stuff. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Um but yeah, while Sanji still was still out for the count, killing him, uh just picking up right where they left off after he got his own man.
SPEAKER_00Uh Fortnite jump pad. Yeah, he did.
SPEAKER_05Uh but yeah, despite his injuries, Sanji tails right right back after him. Uh he has his little like Usopp moment had earlier, like putting his foot down to do whatever he needs to do to save Elbat because of uh you know the crews because of his captain and he know he, you know, his his little love for Usopp, I guess, is kind of showing in this panel. Um since they you know he says them both. Which is kind of like I don't know, I just find it nice that he recognizes it as like they both really love this place and been trying to get here for so long.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, for sure.
SPEAKER_03Um yeah. His little comment about the giant beautiful women, he had to throw that in there though.
SPEAKER_05Uh yeah, of course. I laughed when I knew we would someone was gonna ring it up. That should I laughed when I seen that should probably something. Um to the Isle of Library where Bible is found by uh Soul and Robin back in the in a back room where the library uh in the back room of the library where he has all the book saves, W. Do you think he uh you think this is like a spread like I don't know. I have a secret room. Where did this come from?
SPEAKER_03Secret room.
SPEAKER_00Um like I will like I just said, devil fruit. I think I think Biblo is a giant who ate whatever fruit this is, and I believe that they just live in this form. Yeah, like a uh like a Morgan's.
SPEAKER_03Yes. I I I I think they have some sort of mythical zone owl fruit that lets them control uh size, whether that be within the tree or LBAF or just the library. I don't I don't know what specifically. Um I kind of almost confirmed it in my head, Canon, that it was a devil fruit after the Radataska reveal because I know that was like another thing that was like, well, this could maybe not be a devil fruit, but at this point, anything that's unrealistic in the world of One Piece has something to do with a devil fruit. I think I'm just accepting that. You know, hockey is the willpower, and then anything that has something to do with reality, I'm tying into devil fruits. Even the the top one in the verse came to the when he descended, as the chapter said, it was revealed at his devil fruit. So I'm just grouping everything, I'm chalking everything up the devil fruit. I think Biblo does have one. I think there are we've seen certain cases and scenarios for specific ones that uh lead to different scenario uh results and stuff. I think this is a special case where Biblo either chooses not to talk or just cannot, or chooses not to transform, or cannot. And they have been around longer than the average giant on LBAF, so they know every you know, hidden room, tunnel, everything. Because right when Saul and Robin got to the library officially, they walked in, they said Bibo and the books are gone. So um, I think the owl has to be some sort of whether it be ancient giant or just former giant, not former, but uh devil fruit user that knows more about LBAP than you know everyone, the current residents do. So they don't know about it, but it may know about them.
SPEAKER_05Um I felt like this is kind of like a little nostalgic moment, uh, a little bit. It's like a hidden room in a tree, it reminds me of Ohara, and then Robin and Saul get to, you know.
SPEAKER_03The books are saved again.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, yes. Uh I like that. But yeah. From that, where am I at? Then we pan to Somers. Uh Summers.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Picking up where he left off. And he's got a whole giant ship. The I seen uh a post talking about the Super Somers thing. Um I want to say it's from kind of like a I don't even know what to call that, but I think it's from Dragon Ball.
SPEAKER_00Someone said something in Dragon Ball along the same lines of like being a super, what's it called?
SPEAKER_05I want to say it's Dragon Ball. I forget. But I mean Dragon Ball has Super Saiyan's, there's super boom in Dragon Ball. Yeah. Uh-huh. But might be some homage. If it's not Dragon Ball, it I it might be like a little like some showing some homage from another anime. Um but yeah, I didn't really have much for the easy they are using their new abilities to the best of them, I will say.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Um it's it's just funny. They got they got mopped up pretty, pretty easily, and they get this boost, and then they're just back to shit talking. It's like they're not even they're not even thinking about what just happened to them. They're like, hey, we got our boost, our big daddy is here. What now? You know, I'm super somers. What's up? Um, it's just like the holy knights, we've we've we've we've constantly seen time and time again that they are pretty much silver spoon babies. So it's like they they they grew up, and we'll talk about it a little bit more later at the end of this chapter, but they were raised in such this high-class way of thinking, this above life way of thinking, that they didn't have to fight, they didn't have to train. That's why majority of them have shown no real hockey feats or anything. You know, it's not like you're in a world of pirates or you're you're in a world of um wherever you're you you have to grow up to where you have to train in order to move forward in terms of strength. Those they kind of like, hey, we'll give you a hex devil fruit, we'll give you some regeneration, and then they just have the mindset of we're better than you, and it shows in every fight they just get beat up, they get a boost, they regenerate, they talk their shit again, and then they lose. Um so I just think it's funny that both killing him and Summers both both kind of showed that like Sanji was at a point sitting on a part of your body while Jean Bay was holding your head. Um shot obliterated almost, and now you're back, like calling yourself Super Somers.
SPEAKER_00It's just like some people that we would call it a wake-up call, but for them it's just like we're back, yeah, mindset. Yeah. Um god, this part pissed me off, man. This part pissed me off. I love I love Gerd.
SPEAKER_03Y'all was just hearing me hype her up earlier in the anime.
SPEAKER_05But I didn't really have much here, but go ahead.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I just come on, man. Not everything needs to be repaired and fixed.
SPEAKER_04Dang, I didn't catch me by surprises though, I can't lie.
SPEAKER_03I mean, like, and I get it, and it's also like give trying to give Emu a subtle feat that like he was just that clean with it, like it was that clean of a cut. But come on now, like the plot, Choppers just happens to be there. He has a giant roll of binge that he could wrap up, and he's like, hey, they'll reattach just it's just gonna take a while. It's like, okay, cool. And like you gotta think of it, Giants lift it. Couple hundred years old. A couple months for her fingers to heal up, reattach. That's like a few weeks of them. Yeah. Like that's all, that's the whole penalty. You got emu pull up, slice your fingers clean off. And it's like, okay, it'll be better in a couple months. I just didn't like that. I was like, hey, she didn't need those fingers.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03I I just, I just, that's the one side of One Piece that I'm just like, it's too much repairs. It's too much like something drastic happens. Oh, we fixed it right then and there. We got Chopper. Chopper can fix it. I mean, even even with um, correct me if I'm wrong, when Dorian Braggie snapped out of the out of the Domi reverse seat, isn't his arm back? Yeah, he got his arm back. Brogy? Yeah, so it's like like everything's getting repaired. Like I want there to be a little bit more lost. And I I said this, I said this is one of my this was one of my things about Wano. Wano was too big of a scale of a battle for 95% of the people to just come out living. I think a few more of the side characters that we met that were still important. It didn't have to be main cast, but I feel like a few we could have lost a few more people. I'm just noticing that in the trend of One Piece, there's just always so much like, yes, everything, everything's okay at the end of the day. I do love it.
SPEAKER_04I don't like killing people, man.
SPEAKER_03I know, I know, but I know sometimes we're gonna be able to do it burdens.
SPEAKER_05Sometimes we know except for episode 400 something. I did not have to do my boy like that.
SPEAKER_03Because you gotta think of it. At the end of the day, Lupi's gonna become king of the pirates. They're gonna have a banquet, the giant banquet, and every single person they met along the way is gonna be there. I don't like that. I I need a few people to not be at that banquet just for like it to be like their loss helped us get here. Everybody's gonna be there, damn near. Boom, fingers intact, limbs intact, like they damn near didn't fight off these. That's that, but I I I I can't be too mad at it. Otis cooking. This is all minor stuff, but little stuff like Gerd's fingers, uh, Brogy's arm. I I I think people could, I think they could do without.
SPEAKER_00Dancing cook, though. Don't forget. I mean, okay, he'll he'll be without a leg.
SPEAKER_05It'll be another peg.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, he's just gonna be on a peg. He's he's he's the ship right. He's gonna get something cool. He's gonna build himself a nice little prosthetic leg.
SPEAKER_00It's gonna be okay. I didn't have much for here.
SPEAKER_05Uh it is kind of I I I greatly understand what you're saying. I did not expect Chopper to be on it like that. I get he's one of the best doctors on the sea, and maybe his devil fruit has something to do with it, maybe not. Um but yeah, I didn't expect that. Well, and it is, I did like the part where like Gerd is their doctor too. So it's like she could very much not like, yeah, they'll be reattached, but she could very much not be as good as a doctor anymore.
SPEAKER_03No, for sure, for sure. It like when when when she made that point, and she's like, I'm usually the one who's supposed to be healing everyone, like it does kind of attest to that, and it's like, okay, you need your hands to heal. And you know, she lost important fingers, indexed thumb on you know, her both of her fingers. She can't really like you take away these fingers, you can't do anything. So, like, it does make sense. I'm not too mad at that. I'm just like, damn, oh, how convenient! Like, it was so dramatic when emu pulled up and swiftly cut off her fingers. It was like a whoa, did not expect that. And that's like, oh, she'll be okay. And I like that, but especially when the number one big bad pulls up, does something that shocks everyone. I kind of want it to stick a little bit more.
SPEAKER_05Definitely.
SPEAKER_03Um shoot, it was such a clean cut. Stanza's leg could be reattached. He got cut the same way.
SPEAKER_04I I hope he did.
SPEAKER_03I mean, I really it was that clean of a cut. According to you got chopper.
SPEAKER_04I got a chopper in the car.
SPEAKER_03My chopper, my chopper loved me. Um, anything for this for this next page?
SPEAKER_05Nah, I just want to say that uh that panel was clean though. Just everybody in there and uh bottom right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, bottom right. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Um Goldberg showing his gratitude for the straw hats, and uh Zorro starting to grasp a whole situation of grasping the whole situation and realizing the stakes are even higher now that the knights have been powered back up. Um just Zoro being that that what's it called?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah. I thought this part was funny when uh he was like, I'm the new uh I'm one of the new giant pirates who didn't get wounded. I would have been like, whose side are you on? Like, was you in the fight or were you ducking? Why? What are you? Your captain's over here hurt.
SPEAKER_00What's his name again?
SPEAKER_05Who uh Gobert? Gobert, Gobert, yeah.
SPEAKER_03I said your captain, your captain's hurt. Your doctor's got her fingers chopped off, and you just un unscathed, you just chilling? Whose side are you on? Let me see you fight next. You the next one you gotta fight.
SPEAKER_04You about to get no dead.
SPEAKER_03Um, I I don't I didn't have much for for this page. Um yeah, I didn't I didn't have much at all. Uh I I did like you uh we're kind of saying we seen last last uh was this last page or two pages ago, Sandy talking to Lilith and Bonnie, um pretty much saying, like, hey, we care about this country, you know, we we may have gotten injured, but we're not gonna we're not gonna lose. We're we're fighting for Elbat. And kind of kind of similar thing from um Zorro. He's just like, hey, my captain's my captain thinks that this country might as well be his country. So he's like, you know, we're gonna if we gotta pretty much if we gotta die fighting for it, that's what we'll do. I kind of like that both of them both recovering from sustaining attacks from direct attacks from Emu and shaking back, and this is their mindset. And then, you know, obviously we see at the end of their at the end of the chapter, you know, they're they're locked in. So I do like that aspect, both of them realizing them their importance still here, and um not letting that you know throw them off too much uh of their game. So and then hey, they both kind of alluded to the same thing that we're gonna protect this country. So I like that. That's that's kind of what you want to see from the the wings of the pirate king, the future pirate king.
SPEAKER_05Um, the Marvel's thing that Zorro has in his hand or whatever. Um it's like hinted that Zorro is might be decent at playing Reversey. I think we've seen it in a cover page before and some other stuff. I think he was playing with Robin, or I believe. Okay. So I gotta look at the room. And then he had he had uh he, you know, when the pirates got reverse he'd he's talking about he had a plan and everything. I just you know notice him. I feel like those might be like reverse he chips or something.
SPEAKER_03Okay, yeah, I like that. Um stuck out to me when I first read it, I didn't think more into what they were, just noticed uh that there was three of them. Kind of Zoro's thing. I didn't I didn't really know if that was intentional or not, but he's carrying three of them. He's kind of juggling them around in his hand. Maybe, maybe that's like a like a fidget thing for him, and just the three is is his significant. He has the three earrings, the three swords. So yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe that's just kind of like uh um maybe a fidget thing that where he's thinking or something. Obviously, it's the first time we're seeing it directly like in the chapter on on the panel, but he pulled them out of nowhere. So just something to think about uh if there is anything significant there. Um looking at this rainbow here and looking at what we just seen in the animation, like people can't tell me that anime's whack, and like they're they they only like the manga, and it's like sometimes trust me, for some shows and series, manga does outdo the anime a lot, but like we we just seen the same rainbow, bruh. We just seen it.
SPEAKER_00You can't tell me, but yeah, uh give me your thoughts.
SPEAKER_05Umights communicating their new plans, killing him, uh, accidentally summons his own nightmares, and then they mention uh Gunko might be out for the count last scene.
SPEAKER_00Crazy. Crazy to think about.
SPEAKER_05Um also uh Saumers mentions that Emo's body is not meant to be outside in this outside world and that they need to lock in as well. It's kind of like their Sanji Zoro moment, I feel like, as well, even though they're kind of like winning the situation right now, but they're actually finna come together and try to accomplish their plan. I do like their it's like I I mentioned like the great lock-in for them.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um keep going. No, that's really all I have for that. For the top or left sided thing. Um I agree, I agree.
SPEAKER_03So uh pretty much my thoughts on the uh Somers killing him back and forth.
SPEAKER_00Uh pretty much them acknowledging that since Emu's here, you know, can't can't mess up now, you know, the great one is here.
SPEAKER_03Um a little bit funny that we we come to learn that they uh the people the celestial dragons have fears. They they look they look down so much on people and and everything um that they have fears. And it's funny that the way their fears are developed, they're so high up in the world that they're above the they're raised above the rain clouds, to where something as simple as rain, you know, is is one of the things they fear, along with the D and Nika, which are clearly things that are taught in the Holy Land. Um I just find it ironic, you know, the just the people that view themselves as so highly in the world can be afraid of something as common as rain. Um and how though this is the great lock in for the holy knights here in this situation, they're still so incompetent. Like, how how are you so you you you're you're supposed to be locking in and you're summoning your own fear by mistake? You're just like oh I'm glad you said that. Go ahead. Summers, I accidentally did this, and you know, it's like are y'all that arrogant? Are y'all that like you think y'all y'all think it's in the bag now that you're that you're messing up and summoning your fears? And it's like, yeah, you can still control it, but y'all are still afraid of it. Um last thing I've seen that really stood out to me is just that the power and control that killing ham does have over the fruit, and how the rains like it downpours out of nowhere, and it's enough to completely flood like that to start drowning giant kids that are bigger than your average human. So it's like still thinking about how much water that is. Kind of takes me a little bit back to Wano when um Raizu summoned uh the water from Zunisha and it completely just flooded the whole uh Flower Capital. Um, or not Flower Capital, uh Castle on Onigansh Onigashima. But just because of just a massive amount of water in that situation kind of made me think. Well, I'll get into that next page. Uh you were about to say something.
SPEAKER_05Uh killing him, like not having his po his uh powers mastered just gave me like when you're reading the review, I just thought back on uh Eddie's lobby when um the Cypherpole were just getting their new fruits and they were like trying, you know, just trying new shit with their fruit and didn't know much about it and stuff like that. I just quick thought. Um but yeah, to to the left side um the western village, a storm rolls in and Killingham sticks his nightmare monster onto the giant children as they're swiped away and by one swoops. Yeah. Um I don't know, that's really all I have for that. But then yeah, the next page.
SPEAKER_03Uh you you didn't have any thoughts on after the people of D of the D and Nika, it was the most common boogeyman they warned us about. I just I wanted to see what your thoughts were. You touched on it briefly. Um just the fact that it's being like passed down the rain.
SPEAKER_00No, yeah. Um where he goes on to say, where is it? That they're like so high up in the sky. Oh, you said it in your what's it called?
SPEAKER_05Um yeah, right there. We're so born so high that uh above the clouds and everything that they find rain as a what's it called. Yeah. I don't really have much for this kind of just um I do I do think it's they do kind of like make it seem like as from what how he says it's like the rain god might be like a little bit more more something than Nika was, but I don't know.
SPEAKER_03Well it's funny because we hear uh when Bonnie mentioned Nika when she did the little first Nika like punch to Saturn and it didn't really do nothing, and he caught her and he said you know nothing about that. I kind of look at that as a different light because like before it was like oh, that's just a time before your uh that's like a figure before your time. You don't you don't know about that, and now I kind of look at it a little bit different, and it's like Nika's still an active name in the Holy Land, clearly, because they're saying it was the most common like after uh the D and Nika, it's most commonly common boogeyman they warned us about. Um I don't really think it was much of a I didn't really think that the rain god is more serious than Nika because he said after the people of the D and Nika. So I kind of looked at it as like those were like the top two threats, but then right there under them is like it's like yeah, we got we got uh I don't know Bigfoot here, but then right under here is the Yeti. Like I I don't know.
SPEAKER_00Like I've I've it's still up there, but I I still think they fear Nika more. And then bamza.
SPEAKER_05So just to get it out of the way, appearing to the rhythm of prayers for rain. Ooh, it's Zaza Freaky. Um the kanji little signs of the sound last scene were from the introduction of and saving of Monkey D Luffy from the grasps of Smoker by his father that we now know to be Monkey D Dragon. Um they that sound, the entrance of the sound of dragon and the entrance of the sound of Zaza, they might have something to do with each other. That's been the biggest uh thing I've seen among the community about the rain god.
SPEAKER_00But first first look, that's Nami, bro.
SPEAKER_05What is Nami doing behind that mask, bro?
SPEAKER_03Um, that's funny that you say that.
SPEAKER_00I kind of looked at it I took it as a grain of salt because only because this is a sleep tid.
SPEAKER_03Um this is what they're afraid of, and this is kind of like it's kind of like a myth. Like they they they ref he he verbatim referred to it as the a common boogeyman. So I kind of think of it as this is what his uh imagination of this would be, and this isn't a direct representation of what the god of rain looks like. Um, because even like down here in the introduction title, it says what we're afraid of, God of Rain, Saza, sleep to. So I I like the design and everything, and I it's funny, I thought the same thing when I said it. I was like, that kind of looks like Nami. But I was like, I'm not really trying to connect, of course. Nami's the weather person, so like I did, I did kind of like that, but I was like, I'm not gonna group this in my mind with something that's like, okay, this is this is how this looks, just because it's a sleep tid, and they've never seen it, they've never seen rain, they're just afraid of the thought of it. So it's like I don't I don't think even when we've seen the sleep tid version of Nika, like they just didn't know what it just it didn't look like Luffy.
SPEAKER_00It didn't look like the Nika that we've been portrayed. So Um but the thoughts of it potentially being with dragon. I like the idea. I like it a lot.
SPEAKER_03Um I I I don't really have too much on the thought of that because like I've always felt like he's had some sort of uh weather fruit. I think it would make more sense for him to have something along this this line than a straight up Logia, because I feel like we've moved past the Logia phase of where like they're just that overpowered. Obviously, there are still some Loghias that you know are not to be messed with. Blackbeards, Akainus, pretty much the Admirals, uh Aokiji. They all still have very strong Lokias. So I'm not putting it past if Dragon had a Logia, that um it wouldn't be as you know strong, but this this fits a little bit more.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Um also like if it is a Logia, it's quite literally the counter to supposed to be the only counter to Devil Fruit is like water, the ocean.
SPEAKER_03And this is the first water related uh power that we've seen, period, in in um One Piece. Obviously, we've seen uh you know the weather, the weather balls and stuff and and what they can do to manipulate weather, but it's also changing uh the weather as outside, not uh actually being the weather or anything like that.
SPEAKER_00Like um do you think this gives Nami and Jinbei a bigger role in uh rescuing the kids at least?
SPEAKER_03Obviously, not necessarily defeating anybody. I think that's still gonna be Zoro, Sanji, and of course Loki slash emu. I mean slash Luffy versus Emu. Um but in terms of rescuing the kids, I I it could obviously the other devil fruit users, I don't really know rainwater, seawater, does it have the same effect? Um, we've still seen Luffy do some things with rainwater. Yeah. We've seen them, you know, in rain before, and it hasn't really but like a flood of rain. Obviously, we know they can't swim.
SPEAKER_00So um people like Jinbei and Nami.
SPEAKER_05I feel like it just fits their character doesn't be gonna have to do something on that water, boy. Right. That's the only the way it looks right now. That's the only that's the only seven grace. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03You better like Nami should be able to do something to maybe clear the rain clouds and Jinbei do something with the actual water. Hey, I don't know.
SPEAKER_05Um I also the uh you know, just constant theme right now. Uh we see behind the rain god the little circle of maybe referring to it being a mythical or an awakened fruit or something, but it has like little hanging beads like the hat does. Um I just also understand.
SPEAKER_03It kind of looks like just the aesthetic of the old because we see the beads, um the little beads around the hat and the wrist uh around the wrist. Or it could just be like just the aesthetic, or it could be something well, I guess they all kind of look like raindrops in uh if you look at it. So it could just be like the rain aesthetic. I don't know. It's a cool design. Like I said, I do expect if we do meet this specific actual devil fruit power, um, I do expect it to look different. Of course, a lot more like whoever the the character who has it is. But um it's interesting uh that this was introduced this way, especially if this is a fruit that's maybe dragons, um, it would be interesting that we got kind of like a preview way before we even get the actual fruit.
SPEAKER_00But hey, we'll see. Um more thought on the Zazah. How do you feel about the four arms?
SPEAKER_03I didn't really have much. Same same than my previous thoughts, like this may just be s uh the holy knights like image of of it in their heads. Yeah. Okay I I yeah, I didn't really have much. Did did you did you have something on that?
SPEAKER_05No, I I mean to wrap up the Zaza thing, uh just my little hand cannon. It looks so much like Nami. I was like, oh my god, that's Nami. We don't know nothing about Nami. I'm like, maybe there's something there, an ancestor or something. Uh maybe it has to do with uh Vivi's ancestor. That could be Lily or something. I don't know.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_05But that's all I got for that.
SPEAKER_00This allzasta.
SPEAKER_05But to um To Somers and Killingham and Zorro and Sanji. I just thought it was so dope seeing them fly back each other.
SPEAKER_00Uh what is that? Um it reminds me of I forget. Just another scene, I believe.
SPEAKER_05It could be very much One Piece, or very much not, from another anime. But just the scene of them going to chasing after their uh what seems to be um rival slash one v1 opponent. I just thought that was so dope dope. And like uh what's it called? Them, you know, communicating to each other as they see each other passing.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I kinda just uh piggyback off that, I kinda like just uh how it's all in one um one kind of like moment here, and it's like the two different sides of the coin. We got killing him and Summers, like, all right, we're we we got it. Uh on you, Somers, and Somers is like, we could we can go at any point in time, and then Zoro and Sanji getting up from an attack from Emu, crossing pass, and they're like, Hey, ain't no messing around this time. You know, we just we just got put on our ass. Let's lock in this time, let's do it. And like it just it just shows the different mindsets, like, even just how they are as characters. The holy knights are just so like they they think everything's working out, everything's smooth, everything's handed to them. Whereas the straw hats are used to getting it out of the mud, used to fighting for all their battles, and they're just like, hey, let's lock in. And and the holy knights are like, hey, we got this, we're you know, we good now.
SPEAKER_05I also do want to say, uh, I feel like they're fighting their correct opponents now. Before we've seen them flip-flop from you just like headcanon from before we even seen them fight at all. We just I feel like the fandom assumed that the uh so it it's Zoro fighting Somers now and then Killingham fighting Somers. Oh no, no, it's it's Zoro fighting Killingham and then Sanji fighting uh Somers now. Like with Somers being um having like from back in the day, he slapped what's her name? Just his his crew cruel uh cruelness against women and everything.
SPEAKER_00Because he's at the port and yeah, they're at the port side. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. So Zoro.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, because um, yeah, definitely in the community, everybody originally thought, and it's funny because um now they're both now both of the holy knights are boosted, and now we're getting the fights that they expect we expected from them, so maybe we'll see like a maybe a closer fight on each side.
SPEAKER_05So um or even if they have to I they're kind of splitting up right now, but yeah.
SPEAKER_03I doubt it uh just because of the way that Zoro looked at all the damage in the village and was like, I'm gonna keep going to the port, and then Sanji, that's where Sanji's going.
SPEAKER_00I don't really expect it to um just because the distance, but hey who would have expected any of this thus far, so yeah.
SPEAKER_03Any final thoughts on the chapter? Uh that's all I got for today. W chapter. I think this was a Yako. Um we got the reveal of Zaza. We got the confirmation that Ratitasker was is a devil fruit. Um we got some more emu Loki clash. I think it was a pretty solid chapter. I was I was locked in from start to finish. Um I like where everything's headed. We get another chapter next week. And um, yeah, I'm excited. I'm enjoying it. Do you think uh what do you give this chapter?
SPEAKER_05Yanko for sure. The reveal of Zaza. We got Hella Lore uh between you know Elu's dialogue, and then we gotta the reveal of Radatasker as well.
SPEAKER_03Um we've figured out what the holy knights are afraid of.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, it's everything's coming together. Even even the Straw Hats are about to have their lock-in moment and have.
SPEAKER_03Still waiting on Luffy to pop on the scene.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I feel like next year.
SPEAKER_03I'm still I'm still I said it, I said it a while ago. I don't know if Luffy has much of a role in this fight. Um, I would like him to, but at the same time, it's like I feel like just with the time limit and everything, I think when Luffy gets there, it may be not too much for Emu, but like he can't, he he reads the situation and he's like, I don't have the energy or time to put into both Needhogger and Nika at the same time. That's just my headcanon. I've kind of I just think Elbaf's wrapping up soon. I feel like if Luffy and Emu do have an interaction, it'll be brief and it won't be much of what anybody expects just because I still feel like emu's gonna be a serious threat moving forward. And I I don't think I don't want to see too much of a clash or interaction between my main character and right now what I got to be the final villain. Not just yet. But hey, that's me.
