Thank you so much to Dan for commissioning this episode!

In these chapters, we find out what the name Rising Cormorant means, and we also finally have Talia getting honest with Hugh about her feelings for him. It's a great section, and I'm hoping that the time Hugh takes to consider ends with him giving Talia a chance.

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

Thank you so much to everyone on the One Piece crew for commissioning these episodes!

These are the episodes where we get to hear the hit novelty song 'Zombie Night' and I'm super delighted with the whole prospect of this island, these zombies, and this bad guy. All of this is my favorite.

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

Thank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode!

In these chapters, we get to see how Phyro's planning for going to war has grown more subtle and more about what's right and wrong rather than mere rage. He has gotten the Blossom Gang to brainstorm and perform a sort of guerilla information technique that results in the people of Dara supporting the idea of attacking the Lyucu. By the end of this section, Jia is argued into a corner and calls for Phyro, and I'm genuinely surprised that she decided to honor her alleged ideals.

Thank you to Dan for commissioning this episode!

These are the ones in which I completely sympathize with Hugh's full-body rejection of a badly constructed ward, and smile smugly to myself as he not only builds something wonderful, but gets the whole project named after him. Take THAT, Hugh's inferiority complex!

We also get a tiny peek at Artur's POV and get some understanding about why he doesn't like ships.

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

Thank you to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode!

In this episode, for some reason this show has decided to depict a highly sexualized assault of Nami in the shower, because god forbid she be fully clothed and GOD REALLY FORBID the whole crew get assaulted. No no no, we have to have a creepy rapey character and animation that lingers on her naked body AND TO TOP IT OFF a close friend who doesn't believe her. Ugh.

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

Thank you to Lauren for commissioning this episode!

In this episode, I am absolutely disgusted with Alba and I'm really hoping that she snaps the fuck out of it in the next episode because as far as I'm concerned she's 100% in the wrong and Jane is 50% in the wrong for the way she's trying to police her mother's reaction to extremely shitty, dismissive treatment.

Other stuff happens, but that's the main takeaway for me.

Thank you to Dan for commissioning this episode!

In these chapters, Sabae has got to rescue someone from being killed by a sea serpent, which results in Hugh having to save her, and yet he still thinks he doesn't bring anything to the table! Hugh, stop it! Our friends continue searching likely sites for Ithos, but instead of finding the city, they find a young Sphinx.

Thank you very much to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode!

These are the ones where some of the crew finally go ashore on Thriller Bark, and for some reason Brook is super excited about getting here and leaves the Strawhats behind immediately despite having accepted Luffy's invite into the crew.

Of course, the people who are least keen on going to the haunted island wind up there first, and we get some pretty fun Scooby Doo sequences.

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

Thank you so much to Florian for commissioning this episode and joining me on camera!

These episodes are the ones where we first meet Brooks.

Need I say more?

Thank you so much to Natalia for commissioning this episode!

In this installment, we get to see some super sus behavior on Aaron's part, and I have my doubts about whether the "captured by the cartel" thing is really what it looks like. Meanwhile, Jane is struggling with writer's block, and is similarly blocked about what to do what to do about Rafael's proposal, and Xo is worried she's pregnant.

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