Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode!
In this one, we get to see a fight between General Armstrong and Major Armstrong, and when I tell you I loved every second of this I'm not even exaggerating a little bit. There's no second of this that wasn't just wonderful.
Also, Greed seems like he might be either ready to betray his fellow homunculi, or he's got some other con going on. I'm not going to worry about it right now!
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Kyle for commissioning this episode!
We're still out here on the open sea, and we're getting to see the fallout of the attempt by the Dara soldier to sink the Lyucan ship. Takval winds up actually befriending (this may be too strong a word but I'm going to go with it)a couple enemy soldiers because he's moved by their compassion for their dragon. There's a truly moving scene about that.
Also, one of the gods decides that he's going to give up his identity and become a mortal stowaway on the Dara ship, and I'm fascinated by this.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to George for commissioning this episode!
I can't believe Lucan is dead. I really can't, honestly, and I'm super sad about it. I want there to be something that can bring him back, but at the same time that would cheapen the whole thing and I would hate it.
Meanwhile, we're getting closer and closer to the moment when Shera kills the Emperor.

In this episode, Ed and Al are still separated and Al winds up in Liore where his father is and they have a very not-memorable reunion. The thing that really gets me, though, is Greed running into a friend that he doesn't remember and killing him while the guy just asks why.
Ugh. I hated it.

Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning this episode!
These episodes are the ones in which our friends Sanji and Usopp finally wake up from their electrocution stupor inflicted by Eneru. Welcome back, guys!
Also, I cry like a little baby because this was filmed on a bad, bad day.
Thanks for listening, everyone, and thank you for your support.

Thank you very much to George for commissioning this episode!
In these chapters, Lucan begins a mission to go and check out the Optasia, a seat that the Emperor has used to address Elder problems from afar, and see if there's a way to disable it. He decides pretty quickly it needs to be destroyed. Meanwhile, Shera takes a shower and long soak with Teach, and says that she will do her best not to kill the Emperor without informing Teach first...if she can help it.

Thank you ever so much to Max for commissioning all these episodes!
In this episode the Fuhrer tells Hawkeye that he actually did choose his wife. I can't really tell if that's an expression of affection, or if there was something strategic in his choice, but I'm suspicious of him sharing this information at all.
Meanwhile, I thought that our crew was being betrayed but it turns out it was all a trap for Envy, and I'm delighted.

Thank you for commissioning this, Gabriela!
In these episodes, Luffy finds out that he's immune to a lot of what Eneru can do because of his whole rubber-man situation. Notice that I said "immune to a lot", not all, because Eneru is a little more creative with his powers than I was predicting and he finds some loopholes to Luffy's immunity.
Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to George for commissioning this episode!
In these chapters, our original trio of the Emperor's helpers go with Shera is kind of entrapped into a situation in which she loses her cool and completely gives in to the will of her blade. She ends up killing the head of a Guild, which is a pretty serious offense. I can't imagine this is going anywhere good.

In this episode, we get to see some of the information about Alkahestry getting decoded by our friends. Meanwhile, Kimblee is under pressure to carve the blood sigil for the Homunculi and he somehow convinces another country to attack?
And of course, we watch Hempstool probe the depths of the tunnels under Liore and find Pride, and we get to learn some things about how how this all works.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
