Thank you very much to Lauren for commissioning this episode!
This episode is the one where our vampire friends think they're going to celebrate a Superb Owl, while Colin Robinson tries unsuccessfully to correct them. Nadja meets an old lady whom she used to know when the woman was a little girl, and their neighbor makes an unfortunate joke about them being vampires. Which leads to his brain being somewhat melted.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode!
I cannot believe our friends still don't know that Hughes is dead. Like.
Also, there's a weird prince and a little girl who have suddenly popped up, and I really don't trust either one of them but I also can't figure out what their angles could be so I guess I just have to let it go.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode!
This trio of episodes is the one where we finally get to see Crocodile get defeated, and it's really quite a spectacle. While Luffy is busy kicking his ass into the sky, Vivi is being as ineffectual as ever by screaming from the clock tower at the unhearing crowd below.
Eventually, our friends get to rest and eat, and have a bath, and we get a pretty cringey scene with Nami flashing everyone that nobody asked for.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you all again soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Yama for commissioning this new episode!
This chapter is the one in which our whole crew is gathered together again just in time for an attack from a bunch of Yaldiv warriors...an attack that was somehow overlooked by the powerful entity occupying Ronan's body. We also learn about the differences in the way the Choice went between the Yaldiv and dogs, and I really do love the dog version.

So this episode is the one where we find out what Bradley's connection is to all the shit that's been going on, and we also get to meet the Father and watch him kill his own...son? I guess?...so as to absorb his essence back into himself and hopefully create a new homunculus that functions a little more according to specs.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Florian for commissioning this episode!
So in these episodes, we've got Luffy finally catching up with Crocodile & Co. down in the hidden temple, and starting his fight with a bloody fist which apparently functions in the same way as water. Good thinking, dude!
Meanwhile our friends above ground are scrambling to get to the cannon that is poised to hit the square, and we unexpectedly meet Mr. 7 and Miss Father's Day, who may be the most bonkers so far.
So far.

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode!
In these chapters, I'm really sad because it turns out that we're having to say goodbye to the united crew as one by one, they each use up all their power coping with some major attacks from Subject One and then go back to the surface. I'm really curious why Ziel is the only one sent up to a totally different area than everything else, and I'm worried that our group is getting a little sabotaged here somehow.
Meanwhile, Lindon and Eithan are still underground, and they're having a heart to heart about what Eithan's plans and goals have been. And then Ozriel shows up, and they're separated.

This is such a great premise for an episode, I love this a LOT. The whole concept is that our vampire friends (well at least the undead ones, we don't know what Colin's deal is) died and left ghosts behind with unfinished business. Each of them has to figure out what that is, and fulfill it (or not, as the case may be) to send their spirit on to the great beyond.
Also, it appears we haven't actually said goodbye to Gregor forever! But now he's called Jesk.

Thank you to Heather for commissioning this episode!
In these final chapters, I find out that my theory on Aftermath keeping Lilly alive secretly is not what's going on, and I'm deeply disappointed that she's actually dead. Meanwhile, Jordan and Jason have a talk and basically decide that they're going to defect and create a squad of their own, since obviously McIntyre can't be trusted at all. But sadly, Jordan doesn't talk about ANY of this with Brian, and the rift between them just seems to be growing to the point that I'm worried he may attempt to become awakened while she's away.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I can't wait to start the next book!

Thank you again so much to Max for commissioning this episode!
So this episode is the one where Al gets kidnapped because he got a little cocky about being able to handle a real sketchy crowd that lures him into an alley. Turns out that the one that heads this little gang is Greed, and he's surprised to meet someone who is just a soul bound to armor, even though this is definitely not as unusual as we all thought it was. Greed fights Ed, and he's got some weird powers and Ed seems to have met his match, until his teacher shows up to save his ass.

Meanwhile, Scar is out here lifting weird weights and getting visits from his master, from bounty hunters, and from a State Alchemist. And he doesn't kill the state alchemist?!
Thanks to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
