King Of The What Now?

This episode features Luffy's toughest challenge yet, but more importantly than that, Joel performs a ritual to summon the mysterious ghost he claims to have heard during editing previous episodes, and he lifts the ban on references to other franchises. Let the pop culture nerdery commence!

It doesn't take long for the situation to go from bad to worse at the Baratie! The ruthless Pirate Commodore Don Kreig appears and threatens to take the Baratie from the chefs! We also get some important backstory for Sanji, but more importantly, the "certain man" Zoro has been searching appears! Plus, Nami betrays the crew?? You won't want to miss these unforgettable moments!

The new adventure begins with a flash back! We meet several figures from Zoro's past, including a hint as to the man he seeks. What kind of trouble will they get into as they travel to the sea-faring restaurant, Baratie? who knows, but you can bet it will end in some sweet punching action, or perhaps some tasty eats!

Curtis and Joel reach another milestone in their one piece review adventure: The first movie of the series! Join the straw hats as they attempt to find the legendary pirate Woonan, who was said to have collected a third of the world's treasures! We discover that to some people, there are things in life worth more than gold, and maybe that's okay. The cold open is a special one, brought to us by the secret third co-host of the series

The thrilling battle against the Black Cat pirates is here! Kuro continues to show off fancy foot work, Usopp strikes a decisive blow, and the Usopp pirates even manage to help out! We discuss whether Kuro himself is a cat, and the Straw Hats even get a new ship, and we get some backstory for Usopp

Welcome to the new format of the show! Covering episodes 12-14, the fight against the black cat pirates have begun! Usopp is taken out, Zoro loses some prized possessions, and hypnotism is far more useful than one could imagine. The journey will only get more exciting as we push forward with adventure in our hearts!

In this episode nobody seems to believe Usopp (and its no wonder why), so he decides to do the impossible: stop the pirates so that his declaration that pirates are coming will turn out to be a lie after all. We decide it might be best for Usopp to perform a face-heel turn, and discuss the soundtrack song "overtaken", perhaps Joel's favorite in the series

Luffy and Usopp discover the pompous butler is actually a bad guy, who could have guessed! Jango the hypnotist is introduced, and we discuss his many character traits. We discuss whether this episode had a lot of exposition or a lot of exhibition, or maybe both, and pay special attention to a particular crab, and predict crabaggedeon.

The start of a new arc brings new characters! We meet a long-nosed liar, three children named after food, a young lady, a snooty butler, and a moon-walking character is foreshadowed for next episode. We also discuss Luffy's inability to understand lying, and Curtis doesn't know his favorite flavor of cookies, apparently.
