King Of The What Now?

The action is really picking up now! The Survival game enters its final round, Zoro and Wyper have gone absolutely crazy in Upper Yard, and Nami and Robin somehow finds themselves among a group of far more blood-thirsty and battle-tested warriors. But it's all okay, because Wyper seems to have KILLED Eneru? Incredible! Also, before his defeat, we see him ranting like a madman- he has entered his second form!

This episode gives Robin her first canonical chance to shine as a Strawhat in combat, giving us a few hints as to this "void century" she's always hinting at. But mostly we just hate on Gedatsu, easily the most useless of Eneru's priests. We also go into which fights we've found the most entertaining thus far, being particularly grateful that the less fight-oriented members of the crew have been holding their own.

This thrilling episode brings you a heated 3 way death battle in God's land! Eneru predicts that the fighters will be reduced to just 5 members in 3 hours time, and also he has GOAT PEOPLE under his command??? What nonsense is this! We also talk about the new opening and closing songs, and we discuss whether Buggy and Alvida are the Team Rocket of One Piece. Oh! And Zoro totally gets a long range attack. With his swords. Yup, just another day in anime pirate land.

The battle with Satori rages and reaches its conclusion. Plus, Nami makes a startling discovery about the so-called "vearth" up in Skypeia. What all could it mean?!? But more importantly than that, we have a mother-flippin' WOLF PARTY on our hands! Will Nami meet the wolf man of her dreams? What sort of things would we put in our surprise balls? How would the Straw Hats serve Luffy if he were bestowed the title of god and they were his priests? All this and more in this week's episode!

In this episode Luffy, Usopp and Sanji attempt to fight an opponent who appears to be psychic?? We speculate about a viable strategy to defeat this opponent, and Curtis is asked to predict how similar the other 3 priests will be to Satori. We also cleverly deduce Eneru is nothing more than a rogue AI controlling an orbital satellite, and we talk about Straw Hat crew member fusions.

We've made it to the skies in this episode, a place that has masked warriors, a sky knight and his terrifying bird-horse, and... angels? Worry not folks, we're fairly certain the crew didn't die on the trip up the knock up stream, but you never know. Plus, the straw hat crew are already criminals on the sky island? That totally changes... nothing for the crew, really. Oh, and did we mention god might be the Big Bad for this arc?! Holy smokes, potentially literally!

We have so much to talk about this episode. "Pirate Santa" is revealed to be none other than Marshal D. Teach, AKA Blackbeard! A villainous D? Say it ain't so! And all those other Jaya weirdos are all part of his crew! We talk Whitebeard's first appearance, we talk Blackbeard's crew and their aesthetic, we talk about the Shichibukai/Seven Warlords, the Gorosei/Five Elder Stars, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku! So much "stuff" to discuss!

Before we can continue our journey towards the Sky Island, we first must embark on the fourth One Piece movie! We see a glimmer of hope lost in the writing, pacing, and characterization, but we have fun imagining what this movie could have been in an alternate reality. So get ready to listen to us spend too much time talking about furnaces, and just bashing pretty much everything in this movie except the concept!

We've managed to escape the terror filled waters that is the Filler Ocean, and get to meet a bunch of brand new characters for our 50th episode! We've got Pirate Santa, someone who calls himself Bellamy the Hyena, a luchador, you name it! Plus, we play some extra exciting trivia games with Curtis. Thank you for joining us for 50 episodes. Truly, our listeners were our greatest treasure this whole time.

Before the real season 3 content can start, our podcasters first must endure one final trial of filler. We have robot suits, time travel, and a rainbow mist, and we have more criticisms than we do praise. Plus, we discover filler names are hard to remember, Plus we talk a little more about Kingdom Hearts.
