This week, Jon Negroni and Travis Hymas discuss the latest chapter of the One Piece manga, titled “I'm Sorry, Daddy.” We're sorry too for how late this episode is...

We chat about One Piece 1103 in our usual overload of detail, speculation, and free-wheeling analysis. This week, we get a new mystery (who gave Luffy food this time?!) Kuma cleans up a spider-web. Bonney wants to LIVE. Kizaru, who are you? Vegapunk would've voted for Obama a third time if he could've. Saturn needs to get spaced.

One Piece 1103 is currently available to read for free on Viz.

We discuss the impact of death scenes in One Piece, Bonney’s potential future, and what this chapter reveals to us about Dr. Vegapunk. Travis also makes a big mistake, see if you catch it!

This week on Rookie Pirate Radio, special guest Kayla Chu joins Jon Negroni (me) and Travis Hymas to discuss Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. Also known as Frieren, the Final Farewell to the Dead, this is a new cozy fantasy adventure anime produced by Madhouse Inc. and currently streaming on Crunchyroll. Based on the manga written by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe, Frieren has been rapidly building a passionate fanbase. Partly for its slow-burn, melancholic storytelling but also its whimsical, humorous characters.

For some bonus content, you can read Jon's review of the first four episodes from the perspective of a manga reader. And Frieren also ranked as one of our best anime shows of 2023, and you can find Kayla's blurb for the show here.

This week on the show, we discuss One Piece chapter 1099, titled “Pacifist,” truly one of the most ironic names given to Kuma considering how this chapter opens. And after our manga recap, we talk for a little about the recent controversy surrounding Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, which recently debuted on Netflix, and whether or not it's an anime.

This week, Jon Negroni and Travis Hymas discuss the latest chapter of the One Piece manga, titled “Bonney's Birth,” and it's just too bad Oda didn't release this chapter on Father's Day...

We chat about One Piece 1098 in our usual overload of detail, speculation, and free-wheeling analysis. This week, Oda is going full grim-dark on us with one of the most harrowing, emotional backstories yet, but with some gems of relief and happiness along the way. Since we have a break next week, we spend some extra time theorizing on what we think might happen next. What cured Bonney's Sapphire Scales? Why does Kuma become a warlord? And toward the end we have an interesting theory about that pain bubble on Egghead still lingering around presumably.

This week, Jon Negroni and Travis Hymas discuss the latest chapter of the One Piece manga, titled “Ginny," and honestly can someone absorb our pain bubbles?!

We chat about One Piece 1097 in our usual overload of detail, speculation, and free-wheeling analysis. We dive into all kinds of theories about Jewelry Bonney's parent(s), Dragon's Navy revelation, and the amount of darkness Oda will send our way by the end of Kuma's flashback...
