One Piece God Valley manga spoilers start at 2:02:28. Skip to 1:38:04 for the 2010s decade draft if you want a mostly spoiler light segment.The crew is back and this one goes long. We open on the Bleach conversation everybody is arguing about: did Orihime have the most talked about moment of the cour, or was it Ichigo? Then we get into whether Rukia actually contributed anything in the final stretch and why Toshiro still cannot escape the slander.After that it is three warm up games. An Orihime gauntlet where we run her against Noelle, Yoruichi, Saber and more. A full Ichigo transformation tier list where democracy loses badly. And a live 1 through 10 ranking of Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, Black Clover, Solo Leveling and Hunter x Hunter.Main event is the 2010s anime draft. Ten spots, one decade, and a lot of casualties.Then the take that split the room: is the One Piece God Valley movie going to be in the GOAT anime movie conversation with Spirited Away, Akira and Princess Mononoke? Radell says the story is already there. Random says quality of execution is a different bar.

“I don't give advice to my kids. I lead by example.” – Mark Fujiwara Mark's compass isn't a slogan on a wall—it's lived. Born to a Japanese father and Chinese mother, he grew up between two worlds that both valued humility, presence, & community. ✨Wabi-sabi: embrace the cracks & fill them with gold. ✨Ichigo ichie: the sacredness of one moment. ✨Kaizen: one small improvement, every day. ✨Ikigai: doing work that gives life meaning. Those ideas shaped not just his mindset—but how he leads. In boardrooms, he's the calm in the storm. In life, he's the guy who turns struggle into connection. As a wealth advisor, speaker, & founder of Sanctuary 88, he doesn't preach balance—he models it. He builds spaces where honesty is strength & leadership begins with stillness. Because in a world obsessed with hustle, Mark reminds us that the rarest power is peace. The kind that leads quietly, listens deeply, & lifts everyone in the room. If you've ever needed a reminder that leadership can sound like silence… Connect with Mark through Sanctuary 88 & markfujiwara.com. Lao Tzu said, “To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.” Mark listened.

For the first time, Kamen Rider must face off against an enemy he has already defeated. It's a two part episode where he fights the Cobra Man, but can he defeat him a second time? It's episode 9 & 10 of 98, so probably yeah.Twitter: @comicrundownInstagram: @comicbookrundownThreads: @comicbookrundownEmail: comicbookrundown@gmail.comHosted by Joe JaneroEdited by Joe JaneroOpen music from TokuSFXFind our t-shirts at TeePublic http://tee.pub/lic/vBbIJZ4eLQ0
