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.

Episode 146 - Movie Night! King Chopper and Admiral Zed!

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.

Episode 145 - This Justice Goes to 11! A Shrinking Giant vs the Neo Navy!

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!

Episode 144 - To the Surface! Spawn Camping the New World!

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!!!

Episode 143 - Queen of the Seakings! Undersea Party Time!

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!

Episode 142 - Can I Park My Ark?! Hordy's Big Reveal!

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!

Episode 141 - One Piece Z Kai?! Decken Down for the Count!

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!

Episode 140 - The Great Re-Recording Fiasco!

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!

Episode 139 - Bridezilla Hordy?! 100,000 New Arlong Pirates Might Be Wrong!

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!

Episode 138 - A Queen's Wish! Tragedies and Tics!

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!

Episode 137 - Arlong Sells Out! Fisher Tiger’s Tragic End!

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.

Episode 136 - Zoro at Full Bars! Jimbei on Trial!

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!

Episode 135 - Terrible Dinner Guests! Honing in on Hordy!

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!

Episode 134 - Crowbars and Faux Pas! An Untimely Premonition!

Finally, we've crossed the threshold into Fishman Island! We talk familiar faces, comedy gripes, ghost pirates and more!

Episode 133 - Welcome to Fishman Island!

Welcome back... Sentomaru?! We grapple with hello's and goodbyes as the Straw Hats set sail and head under the sea!

Episode 132 - Release the Kraken! Straw Hats Set Sail!

Three friends take the nearly impossible journey, making their way through every single episode of the long running One Piece anime! New content every weekend!
