The One Piece Podcast presents an all new mini-series: Fight Together. In this series we explore the major themes, stories, influences and ideas in One Piece, as well as the reverberations it has made in the real world. We do not shy away from the uncomfortable. We  critique and criticize, and we explore topics that polarize. We hope you listen with open minds and open hearts.

On the fourth episode we have co-hosts Zach Logan, Shannon Strucci (video essayist, @struccimovies, Kim on @criticalbitcast @strugglesesh) Bryan Newton (animation director for Rick & Morty & Teen Titans Go) with Erica Friedman (Speaker/Writer/Editor/Adapter), Kelly (our Editor-in-Chief), Jill Knight (our contributor) and Kendra (MHA Podcast & Haikyuu! Podcast host)!

This month we discuss Women & Shonen. What has Oda done well and poorly with his portrayal of women in the series? What are some of the best and worst examples? How does it compare to other shonen series?
