Three friends take the nearly impossible journey, making their way through every single episode of the long running One Piece anime! New content every Friday!
We're back at it as if a directionally-challenged swordsman gave us a pep talk! We root on the Straw Hats as the get their eyes back on the prize, debate what Vergo's whole deal even is, and discuss those moments when less is more (in terms of nightmare fuel). Also, we have a very taped-in-mid-October discussion about the upcoming live action adaptation!
Daring escapes! Clever plans! Giant slimes! Come and bring your own jangly folksy music for Ceasar's Kickstarter pitch!
A samurai, reassembled! (Hooray!) A toxic blob, also reassembling! (Oh no!) But first, a hypothetical submitted by a listener has us crafting our own filler arcs!
Things you expect when making an alliance with a notorious pirate: Betrayal, infighting, conflicts of interest, big egos, danger. Things you don't expect when making an alliance with a notorious pirate: Wearing their doctor as a hat.
We get real fired up about a helluva fight between Smoker and Law (and are subsequently delighted by even more body-swapping hijinks)! Also, you KNOW we gotta get those Hands Up for Two Song Style!
We see a long awaited return to the podcast as Trafalgar Law drops in! We talk Law, Law, and... look, I'm sure other stuff happened this week too, but we know who the star of the show is.
This week, we embark on a brand new arc and an island where it seems like just about anything can happen! (We hope you packed a hearty-yet-stresseatable lunch.) We dish on dragons and take stock of the character development behind newly-appointed audience surrogate Usopp!
We take a breath between arcs with a movie night! First, we're utterly underwhelmed by a blast from the past with Movie 3, then we're blown away and only a little contentious by Film Z! Which, warning, we do pronounce like Americans.
This week, we embark on the filler adventure that prologues Film Z! We find out Akainu's Marines are just too soft on crime for some, what happens when a giant eats a size-shifting Devil Fruit, and just how big you can make a paella! Mm, we can almost smell the saffron from here.
So long Fishman Island! We're ready to wrap up and make our way onward and upward, but first we look at the arc as a whole! Plus, some very welcome familiar faces!
Luffy's fight with Hordy draws to a close, right as we run out of terrible things to say about him! We talk seakings, ancient weapons, and above all, the return of the giant Straw Hat Party!!!
Hordy's got a secret... don't tell anyone! Meanwhile, we take this opportunity to revisit the One Piece Wrestling Federation, and ruminate on one of Luffy's most heartbreakingly unique Satisfying Punches!
As Luffy goes to great lengths to slow the speed of the Ark, we begin to wish the opposite on this arc. Also, a (perhaps uncharitable) eulogy for Decken, and the results of the official character popularity polls!
When you lose an entire episode's recording, what's the play? Re-record it, using the remaining audio run through an auto transcription service as a guide! Join us on our least sober episode ever as we run through the Straw Hats show of force in Conchcorde Plaza!
Hordy’s revolt nears its pinnacle and everything must go according to plan! Vander Decken experiences heartbreak on a massive scale, so of course we’re relishing in every moment of it. Also, we ponder what it would take to forgive a Celestial Dragon, and figure now’s as good a time as any to appraise these new eye-catches!
The second tragedy of our double header finished unfolding this week, and we face the brutal truth: everything is pinwheels. We talk character tics, poppin' pills, forgiveness, and more!
Quite a bit for us to digest this week: slavery, trauma, loss, frustration in the face of political inefficacy… but, silver lining, there’s also a Celestial Dragon to dunk on. So hang in there with us, we’ll get through it together!
Poor ol’ Hordy still comin’ up short….y? Vander Decken, more like Slammed-er Decken. Arlong is a…. nerd??? You bring your villains, we’ll roast ‘em. It’s the balm that soothes the burns Cocoyashi Village flashbacks.
Dinner goes south, Hordy advances, and Luffy goes for a walk with a princess as things heat up in this set of episodes! Plus, we have the first of what will surely be many (not quite) Ted Talks on the one and only Hordy Jones!
A royal banquet? In our honor? Of course we’d be delighted to grab a bite with you and your crew, granddaddio! Totes. In this episode, we talk the royal family of Fishman Island, what to do with strange barrels, and how the shadow of Arlong still looms large!
Finally, we've crossed the threshold into Fishman Island! We talk familiar faces, comedy gripes, ghost pirates and more!
Welcome back... Sentomaru?! We grapple with hello's and goodbyes as the Straw Hats set sail and head under the sea!
Our beloved Straw Hats return to the fated archipelago that hosted their crushing defeat... but two years older, two years stronger, and two years wis... hey, two out of three ain't bad. But they're sportin' new looks, new moves and we're going through each of their arrivals one by one! Starting with the one who got there first... wait, that can't be right...
You didn’t think we’d forget, did you? Before we enter the New World and let the door close behind us, we reach back under it like Indiana Jones to grab the straw hat almost left behind. Moderate trouble in Little East Blue? Yes, it may be a filler arc but… holy cow, we kinda liked it? Scout’s honor!
Real talk - this episode was recorded in a different time. But we're pretty sure Dack and Mark had wildly different views, so hopefully you'll enjoy that!
We finally take a long overdue walk through the cover stories of the One Piece manga! We talk (not quite) gods on the moon, CP9 bonds, how many of these should've been animated, and more!
We finally reach a watermark of the series! We talk the world, the Straw Hats, their Captain, and where we go from here, all while getting punched in the gut repeatedly.
Big news spreads throughout the world, and the Straw Hats are listening! We're all over the place in this one, so come check it out!
Welcome back folks, and bear with us as we try to find out footing after some hard times. It's thematic at least - and boy do we really feel for Luffy. We talk parental figures, moving forward, dealing with grief, and more!
Real talk - this is the last episode we recorded before our mini hiatus, and I don't even remember what we talk about. So come aboard and find out as we see flames in Gray Terminal light up the night!
This week, three boys go from friends to brothers in a delightful show of solidarity! We talk tight bonds, awesome hideouts, and yes, Garp once more.
Jimbe's a bad patient, Luffy's mental breakdown sends us back to the past, and more! We talk parenting, world events, and a Two Song Style!
The War of the Best heads towards it's finale! We stan our big blue boy, take out the trash, talk old familiar faces, and more!
What can we even say for this week? Join us for a group therapy session as we deal with some heavy losses.
Big stakes! Big emotions! Big payoffs! This week has them all, and our favorite fire boy gets to shake off the rust with style!
It's a roller coaster ride this week! Things are looking up - until they're definitely not. We talk war crimes, Luffy's desperation, and more!
Chaos on the battlefield! We talk Luffy's determination, Mihawk's recognition, Sengoku's schemes, and betrayal!
Luffy and company crash headfirst into this week! We talk exciting match-ups, big meetings, heart-wrenching emotions and more!
The battle is truly underway this week as both sides flex their muscle! We talk new devil fruits, new faces, and quick goodbyes!
It's time for the moment you've all been waiting for - we're finally in Marineford! We talk old foes, familiar faces, big entrances, and more!
We spend the week catching up with the rest of the Straw Hats and taking a look back on Ace! We talk comic relief, Sanji regrets, snapped necks, and more!
With the Captain out, Chris and Dack take charge and head down memory lane! We talk first anime, the difficulty of starting One Piece, and more!
The Crew tastes bittersweet freedom as we make our way out of Impel Down! We talk sacrifices, Buggy's blossoming reputation, and continue to go to bat for our big blue fishman!
Two paths intersect this week, with explosive results! We talk Blackbeard, Magellan, throw all our love behind Jinbei, and more!
Just when we reach the depths of Impel Down, it's time to head back to the surface! We talk uneasy alliances, big brain Buggy, surprise invasions, and more!
Just when all hope seems lost, a hidden land invites us in! We talk Ivankov, representation, Best Boy Bon, and more!
Things heat up in the burning hell, and Luffy goes all out! We talk venom, poison, friendship, poison poops, and more!
Deep inside Impel Down, we finally meet our missing Warlord! We talk touching reunions, crazy antics, guard sphinxes, and more!
Luffy and Hancock take the plunge straight into Impel Down! We talk old familiar faces, exciting team-ups, and clown around a bit.
This week, we take some time to catch up with the rest of the Straw Hats! There's a ton this week, but somehow, Robin's story always seems to catch our interest the most.
