These are the chapters where our friends get brought to a pretty wild fort made out of a tornado where they're going to hole up until it's time for battle, and it's called Fort Maelstrom. But mostly I want to talk about a certain non-binary sound mage who is giving me life.

Thank you so much for listening, and I can't wait to see you with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Michael for commissioning this episode!

This absolutely fantastic arc continues, and I keep feeling guilty over the fact that I'm enjoying this arc so much when it's the only one we've seen so far where all Luffy's friends aren't even there. Nevertheless! I stand by it!

Also, I'm continually delighted over how much I'm getting to see Bon Clay and how true a friend he's turning out to be.

Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you all again soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Gabby for commissioning this episode!


This is the episode where Usopp is trying to get someone to believe the fact that there are pirates not even coming but already here! This is so tough to watch because there's a twist involved with Kobi and Helmeppo showing up to investigate the situation, and so you get nobody believing Usopp PLUS the fact that Helmeppo is derisive with the one person who does seem to believe Usopp.

These are the chapters in which we're getting to see more of Valia and Havath, and it turns out that a lot of the upper echelon Havathi people do not have a realistic understanding of their situation so a meeting has been called to impress upon them the precarious nature of the situation by suggesting some drastic measures.

Meanwhile, Hugh ends up in a dream that turns out to be quite a big deal.

Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

These episode are the ones where Boa manages to reach Ace and let him know that Luffy is on his way. Meanwhile, we've got a new monster that can only talk in types of noodles, which is so fucking weird but I also enjoy it which has resulted in me falling in love with yet ANOTHER enemy monster. I will never learn.


Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

This is when we finally get to meet Usopp for the first time, and I'm pretty well sold on this actor. But honestly, he's been a little eclipsed by captain Kuro. This is a bad guy that is actually pretty scary, and I'm looking forward to how things develop.

These chapters are packed with table-setting, and one of the more interesting developments is the weirdness between Hugh and Rhodes. The ex-bully hasn't apologized and it's unclear if he really feels shame, but I'm waiting for him to finally get up the balls to apologize. I think I might be waiting a while.

This Season 1 finale is super satisfying in some ways, but I'm going to continue to hold a grudge again Tao even though I don't think Charlie would want that.

So this episode is the one where we get to really hang out with Buggy The Clown and I'm fucking DELIGHTED with this guy. So far this show is truly kicking ass.

In these chapters, we get to find out exactly what the hell is going on with Rhodes and it's a weird mixture of irritating, satisfying, and weirdly funny. Also our crew decides to bring him with them on the next leg of their mission!


Thanks for listening, and I will see you all soon with a new episode.
