Thank you very much to George for commissioning this episode!
In these chapters, we get the meeting of Calder and Andel, and it turns out that their relationship makes a lot more sense in retrospect now that I know why Andel was originally brought aboard. We also have the first meeting with Urzaia, but this isn't when he actually joins the team. What a delight he is.
Thank you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Max for commissioning this episode!
In this episode, we get the fight where Pride has to consume Gluttony in order to keep his strength up. I keep having to be reminded that Pride isn't a kid, and that the tactics I'm expecting him to use aren't necessary.
Also, Father has been put into the war room to discuss what Mustang is about to do, and turns out they were correct in assuming that Roy would take the Fuhrer's wife hostage.
Thanks for listening, and see you soon with a new episode!

We're nearing the end of the conflict with Eneru at this point, although he isn't actually beaten yet. Our friends are scheming about how to get the golden bell down, while Luffy keeps attempting to reach Eneru, who continually slaps him down. Enerus debuts a new weapon, a massive sphere of lightning that he slowly lowers down onto Angel Island and unleashes, destroying it entirely.
Thanks a ton to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Alright it's time to launch into Calder's story, and find out exactly how he got to where he is. There's a remarkable attack that tears an entire ship in half, and Calder has to do his best to hold it together. Literally. In flashbacks we get to see Jyrene's cult and the strange events that lead to her getting a soulbound vessel.
Thanks to you all for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you again to Max for commissioning this episode!
In this one, Al is getting puppeted by Pride in a sequence that is very upsetting because I HATE my cinnamon roll getting hurt. However, I'm very okay with Hohenheim getting hurt,so when Ed decks him across the face I couldn't help but cheer. I go on a bit of a rant about the man again, so get ready.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

These are the episodes where we get the story of Kalgara and Noland, and find out that the two had a strange, intense bond despite the misunderstandings and differences in their cultures. Noland was not just devastated to return to the island and hind half of it missing because it was the half with all the gold; he was devastated at the loss of a friend.

It's time for the end of the first of the second books. That sentence was confusing, but if you know you know. It ends with Shera as the new Guild Head, which I absolutely was not ready for and I am lowkey psyched about. I'm so excited to watch how much Yala is gonna fucking hate this.
I'm just a little sad that she's still alive after all this, especially after finding out about her involvement with Max. I KNEW IT.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with the start of Calder's book!

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode!
I'm so curious what the hell is going on with Al, and I just want him to get through the dang portal and get his body back because I simply HATE this for him. Pride grips him up by the end of the episode, and if ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY SWEET CINNAMON ROLL I WILL RIOT.
Also, Ed is taller.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Joanna for commissioning this episode!
Y'all how is this book hitting me in the feels so goddamn hard I have never shipped characters as hard in anything as I ship Zoya and Nikolai, and if they don't wind up together I shall die.
Also, there's a heist in Ketterdam just like old times, while a coup is happening is in Shu Han.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to George for commissioning this episode!
I cannot tell you all how much I loved this. I won't bother explaining here because I do on the show, but damn. What a writer.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
