Spoil Me! One Piece

Thank you to Florian for commissioning this episode! In these two, we get a rematch between Luffy and Crocodile, in which Luffy loses AGAIN. I cannot believe this! Meanwhile, the rest of the crew searches for a cannon, and we learn more about Miss All-Sunday AKA Nico Robin. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! These episodes are the ones in which Zorro goes up against Mr. 1, and while I wasn't sure what to expect, I really enjoyed this fight a lot. That said, I'm not sure I totally understand what Zorro did to win. Meanwhile, Crocodile is out here reading Vivi like a book and I can't say I really disagree with any of his points. Thanks for listening!

Thank you so much to Florian for commissioning this episode and joining me in the conversation! These episodes are another series without ANY Luffy appearances, so we're completely in it with our sidekicks (sorry guys, but that's what you are) and mostly get to watch Nami learn to use the weird-ass weapon that Usopp made for her. Parts of this work for me and parts of it don't, but overall it's a...

Thank you to Roy for commissioning this episode, and for joining me for this recording! These three episodes are the ones that focus on Usopp's fight with Miss Merry Christmas and Mister Four, and occasionally skip over to Sanji fighting Mister Two. There's not a lot of Vivi in these episodes, and no Luffy at all! I'm hoping to see him next time. Thanks so much for listening, and see you soon!

Thank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! In these two episodes, I have to go on a rant. I'm just getting very annoyed with Vivi, and I was so hopeful that after a few moments of the show seeming to be aware of the way she's been portrayed that they were going to address that. But no. However, I'm pretty into Miss All Sunday. She's dope. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon wi...

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 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 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 f...

Thank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode! I don't know how I forgot to mention this on the show, but I feel the need to acknowledge it here; Luffy keeps looking at this random piece of paper that Ace gave him, and eventually Nami sews it inside his hat to guarantee that he won't lose it. I'm dying to know what the hell that paper is about! Also this is the section where we learn that Y...

Thank you so much to Gabriela for not only commissioning this episode and joining me on the recording! The main reason that Gabriela decided to come and chat for this episode was because this is the HUNDREDTH episode of One Piece! And because I've committed to watching the "filler" episodes, I've watched all 100 episodes faithfully so it makes sense that the One Piece crew (which is what I call th...

Thank you very much to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! In these episodes, we are at Alabasta and there are a series of hilarious creatures that Vivi had forgotten to warn everyone about, which just gets progressively funnier and funnier. Also, we have more insight into Vivi's father and the plot against him. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new epi...

Thank you to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! Turns out that the dude who has been trying to find Luffy is his BROTHER. WHaaaaAAAaat

Thank you so much to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! So we've got a real weird start to this pair of episodes, with Mister Two getting scooped up onto their ship for reasons that remain pretty unclear other than maybe for the sake of a weird duck/dick joke. Turns out that Mister Two's power is being able to completely change his voice and appearance to mimic anyone that he touches, and...

Thank you again to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! These episodes are the ones where our crew finally leaves Drum Island with Chopper in tow. I find this section to be one of the least satisfying because we have yet MORE cruelty directed toward Chopper for NO FUCKING REASON, and then the "cherry blossoms" turn out to be just pink snow. C'mon. C'MON.

Thank you so much to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! This trio of episodes is when we get a character who can fight by throwing his afros, but from what I'm told in the comments while I'm recording, that is NOT a power that comes from a devil fruit??? It's just something that he can do?????? Also, Chopper has a secret weapon called Rumble Balls that help him transform into even more for...

Thank you again to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! These episodes are the ones in which we get to see even more of poor Chopper's history, and all of my assumptions turned out to be wrong. There was a whole other guy that Chopper....interned with? So to speak?....before the Witch, and while I can understand the affection that Chopped has for him...I just don't like the guy. He kinda suc...

Thank you so much to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! These episodes are the ones in which Nami begins to recover, and tries to thank Chopper for attending her, and Chopper FREAKS OUT over it. I feel that it's an overreaction until Luffy sees him and literally tries to hunt him down to kill and eat him. Turns out that poor Chopper has a tragic backstory and isn't used to anyone treating...

Thank you to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! These episodes are the ones in which we wind up on a remote, wintry island in a land with no doctors. All they've got is an amazingly youthful, fashionable witch with a mean streak and a mean pair of bellbottoms. And honestly I think we could all stand to learn something from her about graceful aging and the power of negotiation. Thank you al...

Thank you to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! So these episodes introduce a new potential band of villains, as well as a pretty upsetting illness for Nami, which I DO NOT CARE FOR. I have to admit there was a fakeout in these eps that had me SO mad at Vivi and I'm SO GLAD I WAS WRONG! Thank you all again so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you again to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! These episodes are all about getting our friends out of this bizarre, waxy jam they've gotten tangled in, and surprisngly the answer to all of their problems is NOT Sanji? Color me shocked! Instead, he turns out the be the one to save them in a much more long-term way, between getting an eternal pose and also getting Mr. 3 in trouble wi...

Thank you so much to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! So this is the one where we find out what Mr. 3's power is, and it turns out that I am just not capable of stretching my imagination enough to come up with even CLOSE to any of these ideas. He's able to build things with wax, trap things (and people) with wax, and attack with wax. WAX. Sure, why not.

Thank you so much to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! In these episodes, we move into Little Garden Island, and I was puzzled at why it was called that when everything that lives there is VERY large. Then it occurred to me that if you're large, the garden will seem very small! So I guess what I'm saying is that it's all about perspective. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you...

Thank you so much to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! These episodes are the ones in which Vivi joins up with our people in an official bid to go back to Alabasta and stop the rebels. However, there's a mysterious new player on the scene! A sexy cowgirl with ambiguous motives and a sultry voice. Also, RIP Cogsworth.

Thank you to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! So these are the episodes in which we reach Whiskey Peak and our friend Zorro winds up having to fight Team Rocket (which isn't as difficult as I had sort of expected it to be?) while everyone else is passed out in a food coma. Well, everyone else except for Nami. Because Nami doesn't play. Thanks for listening, and I will see you again soon...

Thank you to Bernadette for commissioning this episode! So this episode makes it clear that all one has to do to get on Luffy's bad side is to threaten his food source. And honestly, that makes crystal clear sense to me, so as far as I'm concerned it's all Zorro's fault. Heh. Meanwhile there's this princess named Vivi who was trying to infiltrate a rebel group...or at least trying to infiltrate th...
