Huge thank you to our friends Matt and Annabelle for joining us all the way from the Variant Vendetta Podcast.

We bring you this bonus episode reviewing the Netflix special, Monsters: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation. The story of legendary samurai, Ryuma The King. We had a lot of fun talking about this episode but also got off on a lot of entertaining tangents. it was a very fun episode to record and I hope you all enjoy!! We will be back next week to continue our journey through the Thriller Bark Arc!!

We are here and ready to roll for the wrap up of the Moria and Oars fights. We are ready to take a breath now. Wait....Nope! Kuma is here and he is wreaking havoc on on an already demolished crew. His motives remain a mystery outside of just following orders, but let's worry about that later after the straw hats find a way to beat this monster.

Next Week: Episodes 377-379

We are back with the straw hats stepping up against Oars in all of his glory. The time for fun is over. Robin is not having it with these shenanigans. They do need to figure something out quick though because our favorite pirates are beginning to drop like flies.

Next Week: Episodes 372-376

We are back this week as fights continue to wrap up. Even though several are being finalized, We are still building to possibly the biggest battle the straw hats have tackled yet, and I'm not talking about Luffy taking out another Warlord. Before we even get there though, one of Oda's antagonists hits home with his treatment of one of his Zombies. Luckily, Chopper is there to school him on what it truly means to be a doctor. Zoro also makes massive strides as a swordsman, claiming his 2nd of the 21 Legendary blades for himself.

Next Week: Episodes 367-371

We have a big announcement on this episode of The Going Merry!!!! But after that, we are jumping right into our adventure with the straw hat pirates. In these particular episodes, it is more Sanji and Usopp. There is a lot of frustrations here, but also a lot of laughs. Thriller Bark is proving to be well...an arc lol

Next Week: Episodes 362-366

FINALLY the crew has regrouped and gotten a full grasp of the situation. There is a bad guy to beat up and when luffy does that, everything is better. They still have to find a way to get past the ghost girl herself, Perona. I guess the question just comes down to if the straw hats have an Ace up their sleeves. On the other hand, our budding friend Brook reveals a little bit more of his backstory and has a connection to a much beloved friend from our past.

Next Week: Episodes 357-361.

Our friend Annabelle joins us once again this week!! While Thriller Bark is a ton of fun to watch with all of the gags, the crew is in a very bad situation. With Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji down and out, it is up to Franky, Robin, and Brook. Luckily our new skeleton friend has some major experience dealing with this undead pirate crew. Moria and his mysterious 3 are proving to be a capable group even though they have yet to prove themselves in open combat. The straw hats need to come up with a new plan and quickly.

Next Week: Episodes 352-356

354 is partial filler due to the amount of flashbacks

We are back with our friend Garrett this week who gives a big update on his own watch through of One Piece. The gags at Thriller Bark continue as we build toward a new antagonist to step in Luffy's way. The Straw Hats need to figure something out in a hurry if they are going to overcome this because their numbers are dwindling fast!!

Welcome to Thriller Bark!!!! The crew has arrived at an extremely mysterious island full of all kinds of zombies, ghosts, and ghouls. Not to mention a very special talking skeleton that Luffy bonds with quickly. It's time to start all over learning new characters and building to the main plot and antagonist of this arc. In the mean time, we have the worst split possible with Usopp, Nami, and Chopper all on their own. We have one group that is scared of everything and another that is scared of nothing!!!
