As we kick off the Arabasta saga with season 2 of the podcast, we take a trip up Reverse Mountain and cover episodes 61 - 63 of the One Piece anime.

As this is the shortest arc in the series, we take our time setting up the Grand Line and all the things that don’t make any sense but still make for great storytelling. And it turns out, you only need 2 episodes to create one of the most beloved characters in the series.

As we finish up the East Blue saga, we quickly wrap up each arc while giving some final thoughts. Join us for a pop quiz and character rankings as we wind down and have a little fun before embarking on our journey to Arabasta.

Keep listening after *1:16:54* for a look behind the curtain, where we get a little personal and describe what it’s been like for two introverts to make a podcast together - if that’s your cup of tea.

Thank you to everyone who’s been listening, from the bottom of our hearts!

Join us this week as we travel to the town of beginnings and endings, and the birthplace of Gold Roger himself. Loguetown covers episodes 45, and 48 - 53 of the One Piece anime.

As we recover from Arlong Park and finally prepare to enter the Grand Line, what better way to celebrate than a leisurely shopping trip stuffed with filler arcs. Just don’t make me say Daddy the Parent ever again.
