Thank you to the One Piece crew for commissioning this episode! These are the ones in which Oars completely levels all the zombie generals without a single bit of concern for the fact that they're all supposed to be on the same side. Unfortunately, in addition to this delightful sequence we get the unfortunate revelation that Sanji had really wanted to get the invisibility fruit for himself so that he could spy on naked girls. *sigh* Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episo...

In case you missed the convo on Discord, (which you can join here! ), YES I COMPLETELY SKIPPED EPISODE SEVENTEEN. I will also be going back and editing the shownotes for Chapter Eighteen to avoid confusion. Thank you to Lauren for commissioning this episode! This is the episode where Jane copes with the breakup, and I'm personally feeling like it's better in the long run but I think I'm supposed to be more heartbroken than I am. I'm mostly sad on Jane's behalf, and just hoping that this breakup ...

Thank you to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! These are the episodes where Sanji turns out to have the ability to burst into flames, and I'm absoluetly here for it. However, I'm even MORE here for Usopp's power, which is simply BEING NEGATIVE. This is brilliant. Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Dan for commissioning this episode! It's time for the FINAL CHAPTERS of The Lost City Of Ithos, and I hope that you all will bear with me towards the end because this is when I got the news about Sam's terrible infection from the vet live on the air and get pretty emotional. The way that this book ends is kind of delightful because it seemed that John Bierce knew he had to do something with the Cold Minds and yet had painted himself into a bit of a corner with what totally unstoppab...

Thank you to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! There are the episodes where we find out exactly what it is that Brook is staying alive for, and Frankie is genuinely moved by this tale about the whale Brook's crew befriended and then left behind. Turns out, that's our friend Laboon! Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Dan for commissioning this episode! We are almost wrapped on this book and shit's really going left for our friends. We've got a massive battle between our crew and the Havathi, and there's a lot of new stuff we're learning that CERTAIN PEOPLE (Artur) can do that is truly wild. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! So we've got another installment of the battle between Goztan Ryoto's forces Phyro's forces, and we get to see how these ornithopters work. Turns out that Rati is a genius and the whole setup has many varied outcomes that are all pretty effective. Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Lauren for commissioning this episode! And before you ask, YES I ACCIDENTALLY SKIPPED EPISODE SEVENTEEN I WILL GO BACK AND DO IT I'M SO SORRY In this episode, we get the most infuriating episode so far in my opinion because it seems like absolutely everyone around Jane is acting like she's being so unreasonable about her expectations for her relationship with Rafael. Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Dan for commissioning this episode! In these VERY eventful chapters, we get a lot of forward movement as our friends make it to the Lost City and realize that there's going to be a big showdown with the Havathi and they're going to need serious backup in the form of Kanderon. There's also some really creepy stuff involving a tiger. Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! These episodes are the ones where we finally get the info on how stealing shadows makes zombies, and Luffy gets his shadow stolen and put into a GIANT creature named Oars! have my predictions on what this zombie is going to be like since the shadows hold onto the Prime Directive of their original owners. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! We're in the midst of the battle and getting to see the way that technology has advanced for the sake of winning this battle, and yet it will probably go on to affect everyone in a much more everyday way because Rati has discovered how to automate making a lot of the same item at the same time. It's an industrial revolution! Thank you all so much for listening, everyone, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...

Thank you so much to Dan for commissioning this episode! This is the section where we find out what Liches are, and it turns out that they're nothing like what I was thinking BUT I was not alone in assuming that! Which truly makes me feel a lot better. We also get to meet one of these Liches, and we find out some weird shit is going on that is almost DEFINITELY a sign that they're near Ithos. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...

Thank you to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! These are the episodes where we get to see Perona's weirdo animal zombie army, and Sanji as well as Zorro are taken and somehow turned into zombies! We get to see their bodies though, so we know at least that their bodies are still alive. I'm having so much fun in this arc, y'all. Thank you all for listening!

Thank you so much to Kyle for commissioning this episode! In this pair of chapters, we meet a new character named Zen-Kara from Tan Adu and who experiences a lot of bigotry and microagressions when she moves to Dara and tries to pursue an education. We ALSO get the start of the battle against the Lyucu, which I hadn't expected to see as soon as we do. Thanks for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Dan for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, we find out what the name Rising Cormorant means, and we also finally have Talia getting honest with Hugh about her feelings for him. It's a great section, and I'm hoping that the time Hugh takes to consider ends with him giving Talia a chance. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to everyone on the One Piece crew for commissioning these episodes! These are the episodes where we get to hear the hit novelty song 'Zombie Night' and I'm super delighted with the whole prospect of this island, these zombies, and this bad guy. All of this is my favorite. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, we get to see how Phyro's planning for going to war has grown more subtle and more about what's right and wrong rather than mere rage. He has gotten the Blossom Gang to brainstorm and perform a sort of guerilla information technique that results in the people of Dara supporting the idea of attacking the Lyucu. By the end of this section, Jia is argued into a corner and calls for Phyro, and I'm genuinely surprised that she decid...

Thank you to Dan for commissioning this episode! These are the ones in which I completely sympathize with Hugh's full-body rejection of a badly constructed ward, and smile smugly to myself as he not only builds something wonderful, but gets the whole project named after him. Take THAT, Hugh's inferiority complex! We also get a tiny peek at Artur's POV and get some understanding about why he doesn't like ships. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...

Thank you to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! In this episode, for some reason this show has decided to depict a highly sexualized assault of Nami in the shower, because god forbid she be fully clothed and GOD REALLY FORBID the whole crew get assaulted. No no no, we have to have a creepy rapey character and animation that lingers on her naked body AND TO TOP IT OFF a close friend who doesn't believe her. Ugh. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...

Thank you to Lauren for commissioning this episode! In this episode, I am absolutely disgusted with Alba and I'm really hoping that she snaps the fuck out of it in the next episode because as far as I'm concerned she's 100% in the wrong and Jane is 50% in the wrong for the way she's trying to police her mother's reaction to extremely shitty, dismissive treatment. Other stuff happens, but that's the main takeaway for me. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...

Thank you to Dan for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, Sabae has got to rescue someone from being killed by a sea serpent, which results in Hugh having to save her, and yet he still thinks he doesn't bring anything to the table! Hugh, stop it! Our friends continue searching likely sites for Ithos, but instead of finding the city, they find a young Sphinx. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode! These are the ones where some of the crew finally go ashore on Thriller Bark, and for some reason Brook is super excited about getting here and leaves the Strawhats behind immediately despite having accepted Luffy's invite into the crew. Of course, the people who are least keen on going to the haunted island wind up there first, and we get some pretty fun Scooby Doo sequences. Thank you for listening, and I will see you so...

Thank you so much to Natalia for commissioning this episode! In this installment, we get to see some super sus behavior on Aaron's part, and I have my doubts about whether the "captured by the cartel" thing is really what it looks like. Meanwhile, Jane is struggling with writer's block, and is similarly blocked about what to do what to do about Rafael's proposal, and Xo is worried she's pregnant. Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!...

Thank you very much to Kratos for joining me for this episode, and for commissioning it! These episodes are the ones in which we get to see the Strawhats on the open sea, on the defensive while they figure out a name for their new ship. Unfortunately, they all agree on the same name, and I'm just going to cal it the Sunny because that's much better than the full name. Thanks so much for listening to the episode, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Kyle for commissioning this episode! These chapters go from some incredibly high highs, to some incredibly low lows. We have the successful resolution of the slave rebellion, both rescuing (some but not all) of the Dara and Agon, while also destroying the city-ships the Lyucu would have used to invade Dara. But we also have a horrific, drug-fueled murder of a shipful of slaves at the hands of enraged and frightened Lyucu, steered by the maniacal Cutanrovo. Thanks for listening, and ...

Thank you very much to Joanna for commissioning this episode! This is a pretty wild episode, because we find out that Zaz's brother is his twin, which needless to say causes some confusion for people. Rafael's father is discovered in the fountain, and Rose is over here contacting Luisa to run away with her? And maybe Luisa AGREED? Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Michael for commissioning this episode! These are some really fantastic episodes of One Piece, and may go down on my list of favorites once I'm caught up on the series. I'm loving the weird naked bit with Frankie, I'm delighted by how Zorro changed my mind on Usopp. Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Lauren for commissioning this episode! This episode was full os surprises, because I definitely didn't think we were going to get Michael figuring out that Rose is Sin Rostro this early in the season. There's also an extremely emotional storyline about Jane's baby having a potential marker for a chromosome abnormality, and I get extremely weepy about it. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Florian for commissioning this episode!
