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.

Better late than never!

In part 2 of our Arlong Park recap, we wrap things up with the epic finale of the East Blue saga.

Luffy and his crew finally go up against Arlong and his officers, putting their lives on the line to free Nami and finally embark on the Grand Line. This is the moment that forges innocent weebs into One Piece lunatics, so join us in celebrating an exciting milestone as we embrace our collective brainrot.

This week, the Straw Hats face their first real challenge as we infiltrate Arlong Park, covering episodes 31 - 44 of the One Piece anime.

This arc will be covered in two parts, giving us room to discuss the first major arc in our One Piece journey and the climax of the East Blue saga. Join us as we finally dig into Nami’s backstory (and shed some tears along the way), and prepare for the battle that will officially put Luffy and the Straw Hats on the world stage while determining the fate of everyone in the East Blue.

*Trigger warning for grief mentioned between 1:11:00 and 1:17:00*

Join us this week as we make a pit stop at the seafaring restaurant Baratie, covering episodes 19 - 30 of the One Piece anime.

It’s finally time for the Sanji heads to celebrate our favorite simp as the Straw Hats continue to fill out their roster. Let’s discuss Pearl’s stupid character design and the Baratie’s awesome Miyazaki-esque style while Luffy continues to chew through every pirate in the East Blue like a gum gum buzzsaw.

This week we head to the peaceful Syrup Village, covering episodes 9 - 18 of the One Piece anime. Join us as we discuss mistranslated cat puns and a very confusing Michael Jackson cameo, and we get introduced to another core crew member of the Straw Hat pirates as Luffy’s infamy grows.

This week we head to Orange Town, covering episodes 4 - 8 of the One Piece anime. Join us as we fall in love with Chouchou the dog and his human voice actor, and Becca wrestles with her fear of clowns as we’re introduced to our second devil fruit user - Buggy the Clown.
