Vegapunk's message has been sent, and the world of One Piece will never be the same. We're breaking down the biggest new theories and what it all means for the final saga. But that's not all—this week is packed with major news and fiery debates.

We pay our respects to director Tatsuya Nagamine before diving into the headlines: Dragon Ball Super, Pretty Cure, the new English voice for Bakugo, and the stunning announcement that My Hero Academia is down to its final 5 episodes.

Then, we wage our own "Crazy Wars in Anime" debate. Is the current arc of My Hero Academia the best it's ever been? How are the latest One Piece episodes setting up the endgame? We also deliver our first takes on the new series "Crash Out Princess" and a full Gatchiakuta recap that has us asking... where did these guns come from?
