Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode!
I am so nervous now because the vacation is now officially over and we're getting into the fray again. Can I just tell y'all how much I don't want to do this right now, with a weird psuedo-Dross tagging along? I just...look I love the team and I believe in them, but I'm worried.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you next week with a new episode!

Thank you Max for commissioning this episode!
This is the one where our dudes go get their metal parts repaired by Pinako and Winry, and Ed zeros in on an alchemist who has successfully made some close approximations of the Philosophers Stone. CLOSE. But not quite.
I get mad at Ed.

Thank you to Joanna for commissioning this episode!
These chapters are the climax of both Nina and Zoya's stories, and honestly Nina's shit always winds up being so fucking epic and satisfying. I love her so much.
But Zoya, you know you my girl tho.

Thank you so much to Florian for commissioning this episode!

This is the one where Luffy finally gets to go up against Crocodile, and while his friends have total faith in him, it seems like maybe it was a little bit misplaced. Or at least optimistic.

Thanks for listening!

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode!
This time around, we're talking about the State Alchemist Murderer, AKA Scar, and how he's really pretty much totally justified in his desire for revenge, no matter what Ed may say. Also, Hawkeye should be in charge and Mustang needs to be demoted.
Thanks for listening!

Thank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode!
This segment is the one where Crocodile reveals his dastardly plan to Vivi, while Mister Two prances about disguised and King Kobra. Meanwhile, the rebels amass to attack, and Chaka does his best in his king's inexplicable absence.
Thanks for listening!

Thank you to Andy for commissioning this episode!
These chapters are the ones in which I become convinced that Jai Long is falling for Wei Shi Kelsa, and I try to enjoy the peace of our friends living their lives while it lasts.
Thanks for listening!

Thank you again to Max for commissioning this episode. I guess.
Actually, no. I hate you, Max.
I really do.
I hate all of you.

Thank you very much to Jacqui for commissioning this episode!
I'm really happy with the ambiguity of the way this story ends, and as usual Brando Sando's worldbuilding is impeccable. As Jacqui also pointed out in the chat, it's great to see how far he has come in terms of making complex and compelling women characters, which is really encouraging.
Thank you all for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Gabriela for commissioning this episode!
I'm really enjoying this episode arc, and this section delivers on the weirdness and the badassery of our friends. I'm loving the fact that Captain Smoker and Tashigi are here, and I'm hoping that Smoker getting locked up with the Strawhats means that they will chat and realize that they're really all on the same side.
Thank you again for listening, see you soon with a new episode!
