Open Dojo Season 3, Episode 6 is here, and we're fusing One Piece characters to find the ULTIMATE fusion. Santo runs a full Anime Fusion Battles bracket: two characters, one body, every fruit, every Haki, every ounce of battle IQ. Can Gaban + Ace take down Rayleigh + Brook? Does Garp + Kuma's Galaxy Impact erase Doflamingo + Kid? And why did Imu + Blackbeard get kicked out of the bracket before the final against Loki + Joy Boy?

Before the fusions, Myles and Sauce deliver the verdict on Phantom Blade Zero: elite combat, movie-quality cutscenes, and a soundtrack that slaps, but crashes, an empty world, and boss fights that don't live up to the hype. Plus GTA 6 talk, the NBA injury wave, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, Ace of Diamond vs Hajime no Ippo coaching, Black Clover's return, the Bleach TYBW finale, and a full debate on Jay-Z picking himself for the Super Bowl LXI halftime show.

Who's your ultimate One Piece fusion? Drop it in the comments.

Sanji finally has Conqueror’s Haki, and he didn’t just unlock it. He turned it into a shield. Myles and Radell break down One Piece Chapter 1197, “Love Is Defense”: Sanji finally accepts himself, he shatters Killingham’s spear, Longinus, and he tells Zoro “you’re the sword, I’m the shield.” Then the Zoro debate gets heated. Is Zoro’s Conqueror’s story too simple next to Sanji’s? Was Myles right to hold a Sanji stock when everybody else was team Zoro? And where does Dragon really rank?

The NBA is back and somebody is already on Fraud Watch. The crew debates Embiid, Tatum, and Jaylen Brown, asks why Angel Reese isn't getting her flowers, and breaks down the Jalen Hurts blood clot timeline.

Then it's anime time: fall season picks (Overgeared is a must), JoJo's Steel Ball Run, the Street Fighter movie, the Goku vs Saitama Death Battle that set the internet on fire, and the Bleach TYBW episode that rewrote the manga ending.

Myles and Radell are back to catch up on One Piece, and it's a triple header. Zoro and Sanji both tap into Conqueror's Haki, but only one of them earned it. We break down Zoro aura farming on Sommers, why Omen only looks scary in Imu's hands, Gunko's choice and the Brook storyline, the Lily reveal Myles called, and Ivankov's self-love speech carrying Sanji's best development in years. Then we run through every Conqueror's user to see who actually has the sense of self to justify it, and Myles makes it official: Shanks is stronger than Mihawk.

SPOILER WARNING: Full spoilers for One Piece manga Chapters 1194, 1195, and 1196 (current Elbaf arc). Spoilers begin at 06:50 and run to the end. Non-manga talk runs 01:44 to 06:50.

Episode 150 is here, and it's Radell's birthday episode. Kishimoto is drawing a brand new Naruto manga, Naruto: Shadow Rising, and the teaser ends with Naruto and Sasuke clashing again.
