to show and flop shibby first impressions mini

0:02

episode where we talk about the first chapter

0:04

of the series We'll be covering in depth

0:06

next week with our guest Roger De

0:08

Luigi Roger De Mario

0:10

Oh He was

0:12

he was hanging out

0:14

with me on

0:17

that day David. Yeah,

0:19

couldn't have been there I'm joining it with me

0:21

today as usual is my lovely co -host David

0:23

say hi David. Hi David. Let's use recovery this

0:25

week David Well, I say it all the

0:27

time. I think it's just, I think it's just, you

0:29

know, I feel like I should share the love and

0:31

let you say the name of the series, which is,

0:33

which is not right, but it would have been great

0:35

if I had gotten it. Yeah, I would

0:37

say it's more Koi, Some, Momiji,

0:39

so. Always so Koi with

0:41

me, Momiji. Koi, Some, I don't know.

0:44

Koi, Some. Oh, like the fish.

0:47

Yeah. You know, it's not fish here. The manga details.

0:49

Let's get into it. Yeah. So this was written

0:51

by Sakamoto

0:53

Tujiro, and the art is

0:56

by... Whoa, David, it's by

0:58

Mira? Wha? Wha? What

1:00

the berserk? I know obviously it's

1:02

by a guy named Miura Tadahiro. Imagine

1:04

if it was. That would be

1:06

amazing. This ran from

1:08

May 7, 2012 to November 19, 2012.

1:10

So, you know, less than a year,

1:13

but it got 33 chapters, four volumes.

1:15

Nice. And Jordan, let's hear what happened

1:17

in the first chapter. One day, while

1:19

just hanging out, an insanely cute girl

1:21

asks local high schooler Shota to take

1:23

a picture of her in front of a

1:25

sunset. She immediately falls in love with her

1:27

and tells his group of friends who point

1:29

out that He always chickens out with girls

1:32

walking home that day He sees the girl

1:34

again and his friends push him to go

1:36

up to her by threatening embarrassment his friend

1:38

umine actually like threatens to go up to

1:40

her and show her like a picture that

1:42

he took of him in a dress Which

1:44

has for some reason he goes up

1:46

and asks her if he could have

1:48

a copy of the photo He took

1:50

of her and the girl says that her

1:52

name is Shinomiya Sana and she

1:55

will bring the picture to him

1:57

tomorrow Shota then goes home and

1:59

watches the news talk about the new

2:01

TV show that's going to be

2:03

filmed in their area featuring a

2:05

young lead actress whose name

2:07

is Shinomiyosana. What?

2:13

That's the girl. What?

2:15

Imagine if they just do it wasn't

2:17

in it just was completely pointless that detail. She

2:19

was just like, uh, we have the same

2:21

name. I don't know who that is. Yeah, but

2:23

actually that kind of would have been a

2:25

fun plot hook, right? It would have been fun.

2:27

It's like Donna, the part of the first

2:29

episode of Donna Dawn. Oh, yeah. Oh,

2:32

popcorn, David. All right. The next day, Shota goes to

2:34

meet Sana at the train and a bunch of guys

2:36

are crowding her. So she uses him as an excuse

2:38

to get away from them. She gives him the photo

2:40

and asks if he'll go on a date with her

2:42

in order to prep for her role because she's never

2:44

been on one before. even though she's so cute.

2:46

What? She heard somewhere that

2:48

people on dates hug each other and so she asked

2:50

Shoda to do so. She just heard somewhere that

2:52

like, oh, people on a date, they

2:54

hug each other every now and then. That's

2:56

a thing that happens, right? I just

2:59

heard that as a rumor. Yeah.

3:01

Yeah, where my hug at yeah, and asked her

3:03

to do it and he gets really embarrassed because

3:05

he thinks she's cute Sana laughs at him and

3:07

then a sudden gust of wind rushes by and

3:09

flips her skirt up What the software was really

3:11

really holding out till the end damn I hate

3:13

when that happens And I'm not just talking about

3:15

the upload and talking about when they sexualized teenagers

3:18

and shown a jump She gets mad because Shota

3:20

saw her panties which causes the camera to fall

3:22

off a cliff and unfortunately She's a fucking moron

3:24

so she decides to go after it leading to

3:26

her falling off a cliff sure then jumps off

3:28

the cliff to catch her and somehow they don't

3:30

die after Realizing saved her life. So I just dream

3:32

asked Shota to be her boyfriend and

3:34

of chapter one also I forgot

3:36

to include a an important

3:39

note, which is when? Sana

3:41

realizes that Shota saw her panties She

3:43

slaps him because obviously it's his fault that

3:45

the wind blew her her skirt up

3:47

it did get caught by the branch by

3:49

the way So it wasn't like she

3:51

just tried to jump after a falling camera.

3:54

Yeah What were your first impressions? This

3:56

feels like such wish fulfillment.

3:58

Yeah. You know

4:00

how like hair and manga are

4:02

like, man, it sucked in school.

4:04

I got no bitches. What if

4:07

I had like a bunch of

4:09

hot girls who were into me?

4:11

It's like that where it's like

4:13

the premise is so thin for

4:15

everything that happens. I guess

4:17

I don't know. There's probably documentary. But besides the

4:19

child sexualization, this feels like a Disney TV show.

4:21

The whole thing where it's like,

4:24

oh, do you want to go on

4:26

a date with me? Haha.

4:28

Just kidding. It's not really a date.

4:30

You know, it's just like method

4:32

acting. Actually, I'm not into anybody. And

4:34

then it's like the gust of

4:36

wind blows her skirt up. She slaps

4:38

it. It's just like she acts

4:40

like an idiot. Like she's an idiot.

4:42

I'll just say it. She acts

4:44

like a moron. Yeah. A

4:47

dumb. Idol. Oh, yeah.

4:50

Yeah. Just imagine this is we could do

4:52

the cover up parody to be instead of

4:54

100 girlfriends. It's just one girlfriend. That's

4:57

the best idea I've had so far. Jordan, let me know if

4:59

you think of something else. OK. Did you keep watching that?

5:01

No, I ended up not doing it for the

5:03

best, probably. Yeah, I just there was a moment

5:05

afterwards where I was like, you know, because we

5:07

were talking about hate watching it. So I went

5:09

up to Steph and I was like, hey, you

5:11

want to watch 100 girlfriends? She's like, I mean,

5:13

I guess we could if you want to. And

5:15

then I. thought about it and I was like,

5:17

you know what? I don't want to. And listeners

5:19

for context, we had to watch 100 girlfriends for

5:21

an episode of anime out of context, which is

5:23

out now. If you want to check that out

5:25

and see me try and defend this series, this

5:27

Sean, Rem and Jordan. Oh, it's an

5:29

awful series. It's a dreadful series. And

5:32

David's a bad person for liking it.

5:34

We knew I was a bad person.

5:36

Anyway, yeah, I actually feel like the

5:38

characters seem reasonable, like teenagers, like all

5:40

of Shota's insecurities seem very reasonable and.

5:42

I posted this in the Discord and

5:44

I'm just really surprised. He has a

5:46

very strong support network of friends. I

5:48

was shocked to see this because like

5:50

99 % of the time when you

5:52

read a manga like this, it's the

5:55

loner, the kid who's like the social

5:57

outcast. No, Shota has like a friend

5:59

group and they seem to like him, you know,

6:01

like Umehne who is like his, I forget

6:03

if she's like the girl of the group

6:05

or just one of them. First

6:07

of all, it's refreshing that not every

6:09

girl in this series is in love with

6:11

the main character. I mean, you know

6:13

who knows what the fuck happens in the

6:15

next 32 chapters regards to that but

6:17

at least in this moment It's like no

6:19

she like pushes him to get with

6:21

her. It's also like kind of thank God

6:23

We don't go through so much shit

6:25

where he just like puts it off I

6:27

really do like how this isn't as

6:29

tropy as you would think. Like, it's definitely

6:31

very tropy, but while I was reading

6:33

it, I was like, what is kind of

6:35

making this feel different than the story,

6:37

which has been told like a hundred times

6:39

where it's like, average boy has super

6:41

girlfriend. And it really seems like it's just

6:43

the fact that he has an actually

6:45

existing social network of friends that are very

6:47

supportive seems to be the differ, which

6:49

actually, honestly, like, I kind of am not

6:51

opposed to that being what makes the

6:53

series feel kind of unique, you know? I'm

6:55

not opposed to that either. And like,

6:57

I didn't mind that he was, like, nervous,

6:59

you know? Yeah, he acts like a

7:01

completely normal teenager. Yeah, I mean, he also

7:03

does, like, jump off a cliff to

7:05

save her, which, you know, give or take,

7:07

you know, it's like... But that's also

7:10

because she is a super moron. Like, it's

7:12

just a camera. Were they taking photos?

7:14

Did they make a big deal about the

7:16

photos on the camera? Like, she already

7:18

gave him the photo. Yeah, I'm not sure.

7:20

I do like how she was like,

7:22

why do you want a photo of me?

7:24

And she is legit like, this is

7:26

kind of weird. Yeah, this is kind of

7:28

weird. Uh, hi, I am an actress

7:30

who's gonna be in a big movie. Why

7:32

do you want a photo of me?

7:34

But she knew he didn't know that. I

7:36

mean, I guess. Oh, speaking

7:38

of, I love how their photo was the

7:40

color page. Yeah. It's, uh, my favorite

7:42

word, diagetic. Also, I love how she just,

7:44

like, emasculates him randomly. He just lets

7:46

out that, like, he thinks that she's cute

7:48

and she's just like, oh, you're cute.

7:50

It's like you're not even a boy. And

7:53

it's like, what? What?

7:56

Yeah. I don't get

7:58

it. I like this first chapter. I can

8:01

very easily see me hating the series and another

8:03

10 chapters. But for now, I like it.

8:05

Jordan, what did you think of the actual art

8:07

in the pain lane? Because I feel like

8:09

both were executed pretty well, even if they weren't

8:11

like game changing. I thought they were like

8:13

there. I thought they existed. Like, I think it

8:15

was just like, it was fine. I don't

8:18

really have like, I mean, that's the whole series.

8:20

The series just seems fine. It's not like

8:22

this is going to be the best thing we

8:24

ever read, but we it just seems a

8:26

lot better than a lot of things we've read.

8:28

I mean, it's a - that's a really low

8:30

bar? It is a low bar. I don't

8:32

know. Maybe I'm just so jaded at this point.

8:35

Yeah, well that's why I mean this. This

8:37

feels like every terrible harem or romance manga we've

8:39

read before, but it's just there's something about

8:41

it makes me think maybe this won't be as

8:43

bad. Like maybe this won't be as bad

8:45

as Harrisburg, you know, or Love Rush, or whatever

8:47

other shit we've read. I'm not getting that.

8:49

I don't know. Aside from him having friends, there's

8:51

really nothing here. You do see

8:54

his parents very quickly into it, any

8:56

percent, which is one of our testaments

8:58

that you never see their parents. Maybe

9:00

I'm just desperate for a series not

9:02

to be a certified flop. No, this

9:04

I mean, this is like, what is

9:06

it? What was that series like? Was

9:08

it Tenmaku Cinema where there was like

9:10

that actress that he was like decided

9:12

to make a movie out of? Yeah.

9:14

Yeah. Honestly, this feels like a less

9:16

interesting Tenmaku Cinema to me, which is

9:18

a. Brutal content. Yeah Yeah,

9:23

I also think the pacing of the first chapter

9:25

was really slower. Again, it's like the first 20

9:27

pages probably could have been the first like 10.

9:29

Yeah. And we'll see, Jordan. We're going to see

9:31

what happens in one girlfriend that likes you as

9:33

a cover story, you know? That's

9:35

what I'm going to call this series right

9:37

now. Oh, God. And as we alluded to, I

9:39

would keep reading this. Jordan, you would not

9:42

keep reading this. I would not keep reading this.

9:44

All right. And what do you think happens

9:46

next? Because you still have to read it contractually.

9:48

I do. I legally required to. I

9:50

think that there is an actor who tries

9:52

to compete for Sana's affection like maybe he's

9:54

somebody who's like had his eye on Sana

9:56

and it's like what this no -name boy

9:58

yeah exactly yeah I think that Shota is

10:00

gonna be like a background character in the

10:02

show like he'll be like an extra or

10:04

something yeah and I think that she's gonna

10:06

kiss somebody in the show Like, as a

10:09

character, and it will make Shota jealous. Hmm,

10:11

I like those guesses. Yeah, how about you?

10:13

I think Ume has a crush on the

10:15

MC, though actually I want to change to

10:17

say she doesn't. That would be, I hope

10:19

that she doesn't. I feel the series will

10:21

be much better if she is just a

10:23

platonic friend. Oh my god, please. Can guys

10:25

and girls just be friends? Can that be

10:27

a thing, please? Exactly. And I think there's

10:29

going to be some really dumb arc where

10:31

they try and keep this relationship a secret.

10:33

And I think he has to do some

10:35

challenge to get some of his family's approval.

10:38

Probably her dad has some big, tough, like,

10:40

Hollywood executive or whatever the Japanese version is.

10:42

Yeah. And he's like, you think you're good

10:44

enough? You got to prove it to me,

10:46

kid. And he's probably smoking a cigar. And

10:48

then there's like a tiny grandma, you know,

10:50

or, you know, or there's like an old,

10:52

there's an 800 year old grandpa or some

10:54

shit, you know, you know. Who's

10:56

like perverted and like a sex

10:58

pest yeah, and you'd be like

11:00

if you weren't my granddaughter. Oh

11:02

God, uh Hope not Yeah,

11:06

thin because this is

11:08

a thin premise for their

11:11

relationship to occur. And

11:13

mine is support because homeboys got that social support.

11:15

Don't we wish we all had that? Oh, yes.

11:17

Yeah. Rachel always yells at me because I'm like,

11:19

I have no friends. And she's like, David, how

11:21

many people went to the movies with you? And

11:23

I'm like, it's 17. And she's like, OK, David,

11:25

why don't you say the no friend thing again?

11:28

I'm like, OK, well, it still wasn't two rows.

11:30

David, you have more friends than

11:32

like anybody I've ever met. Yeah. I may

11:34

be the first person in history to have

11:37

more friends at 30 than at 20. Yeah. Yeah,

11:39

it's quite the accomplishment. Did I tell you

11:41

what someone said at my wedding? What? Where my

11:43

friend said, oh man, I used to think

11:45

David was my best friend because we would talk

11:47

all the time. And then now that I've

11:49

met more people at his wedding, I realize he's

11:51

just like that with everyone. Yeah,

11:54

it's accurate. What

11:56

can I say? That's why I had like

11:58

80 people at my wedding. Oh, God. Anyway,

12:00

along with people I love, going to my

12:02

wedding also, people that ask us questions. So

12:05

shout out to people who drop their questions

12:07

in the show on a flop discord. As

12:09

a reminder, our priorities given to those who

12:11

are patrons haven't asked a question before or

12:13

haven't had a question in a long time.

12:15

Starting with WeBoo's Ash, which film manga series

12:17

would make a great clothing line? I kind

12:19

of feel like Zip Man. It's all zippers.

12:21

Yeah. No, no, like it could be like

12:23

a Tetsuya Nomura S clothing line with like

12:25

a shitload of zippers all over it. I

12:27

actually think that what you call it under

12:29

control because he has a really great drip

12:31

on those cover arts where he just kind

12:33

of drew the characters like fashion models. Yeah.

12:36

Which is probably one of the best parts

12:38

of that series was the cover art. I

12:40

mean, again, low ass bar. a very low.

12:42

Well, we actually did say it wasn't a

12:44

certified flop because the last 10 chapters was

12:46

such a beautiful execution of the offer, not

12:48

giving a fuck anymore. Yeah, it was kind

12:50

of. And it just turned into

12:52

Dragon Ball Z. Yeah. All right. So

12:54

next up from same man, which cancel manga

12:56

would have been better if it followed

12:58

a different character? God, I I have to

13:00

look at like a list because there's

13:02

like there were a couple where that was

13:04

like really really egregious and I just

13:07

can't think of them. I think the number

13:09

one choice in my book is mama

13:11

you you. Yeah. We

13:13

have said multiple times they should have

13:15

just made a spin off about fuck.

13:17

What was her name? Why am I

13:19

spacing her name? Minerva. It is her.

13:21

Yeah. That is you think that is

13:24

the eternist answer of what was the

13:26

best character of the series that we

13:28

thought was a flop. I also was

13:30

going to say, like, my gut reaction

13:32

was actually, like, Kako. But Kako is

13:34

kind of the main character. Her name

13:36

is in the title of the series.

13:39

She gets top billing. So that's why

13:41

I said that was my gut answer

13:43

that I am not following. They should

13:45

take that gang orca character from Ozu

13:47

and make his own series. Maybe something

13:49

about, like, everyone being superpowered. Yeah. That,

13:51

nah, I don't think that would work.

13:54

That's why my hero academia, you know,

13:56

he's actually the main character of that,

13:58

David. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, just being your...

14:00

king and I don't know why the

14:02

name giant king muscle wars giant king

14:04

muscle title just popped into my head

14:06

Now we're getting into kinecom on territory.

14:09

Yeah, actually Orpheus also isn't technically the

14:11

main character of hard -boiled cop and

14:13

dolphin. Yeah, just make him Orpheus detective

14:15

files. I'm trying to think we actually

14:17

could just look at the floppy store

14:19

of the Mannequin piss. Oh, yeah, mannequin

14:21

piss just follow mannequin piss that would

14:24

make the series pissing on art series

14:26

10 times better just by

14:28

following him. Remember the Dracula

14:30

becomes a YouTuber in in

14:32

in fucking built game. Yeah.

14:34

Follow him to that's some

14:36

way better. Because everyone's

14:38

like, how do you shit upside down? He

14:40

makes YouTube content about it. That

14:42

was like the only thing we actually

14:44

enjoyed about that series was that

14:46

part. Yeah. I did have

14:48

the idea of love rush would have been

14:51

a cool spin off where he turns into

14:53

like a hitch character and he's like a

14:55

matchmaker for like all these monsters that get

14:57

attracted to him. But that's still the main

14:59

character, but that would have been fun. That's

15:01

a good way to like, uh, judo that

15:03

power, you know, where it's like, you know,

15:05

I can't date you, but like, let me

15:07

find you someone else. Oh, yeah. How about

15:10

champagne? How about have that weird, like, autistic

15:12

angel girl do something? I mean, nothing could

15:14

save that series. It was DOA, but

15:16

still, it would probably be better. Yeah. Oh,

15:18

man. I'm trying to think if there's any

15:20

other ones. Honestly, actually, it would have been

15:22

fun for Cypher at Grandpa G. If that

15:24

guy, remember who only made, like, really shitty,

15:26

stupid inventions? It just was like a straight

15:28

up gag manga about him. Yeah. All right.

15:30

I think that's the Rizzley Bear gets his

15:33

own series. Yeah, the Rizzley Bear. Give that

15:35

to him. Okay, Rizzley

15:37

and Rizzler. Yeah. Oh, it's called R

15:39

and R. Oh, no! Yeah, that's a

15:41

burning nail service for spin -off. Uh, yeah.

15:43

Two on ice, make the girl the

15:45

main character, because she was just so

15:47

much more interesting than he was, in

15:49

that he was not even remotely interesting.

15:51

I still can't believe how everyone's like,

15:53

you guys ain't talking about the molestation

15:55

subplot of the villain. Like, like, fuck,

15:57

that's crazy. Now that people pointed out,

15:59

like, holy shit, they're right, the main

16:01

villain got molested. It was implied. It

16:03

wasn't like, if they had said it

16:05

outright, we would have talked about it,

16:07

but it was like an implied - Anyway

16:12

from red blade if you could be

16:14

an unnamed extra in any flop series, which

16:16

would you pick? Shit, I

16:18

can't think of I can't think of anything off

16:20

the top of my head So I'm just

16:23

gonna say candy flurry because that's our go -to

16:25

and also not a bad answer Have a cool

16:27

shock BT and you just get to see

16:29

BT's tricks, which don't really work I'm just trying

16:31

to think what is like the best world

16:33

to live in of the manga that we've covered

16:35

I mean green green greens. He would just

16:37

be someone playing golf. Yeah, but like Oh, Service

16:39

Wars! That would be really cool to be

16:42

an audience member during the service tournament. Yeah, that's

16:44

my pick. That would be fun. That'd be

16:46

nice. I mean, any of the sports among you

16:48

literally can say I'm in the audience watching

16:50

them do the sport. Yeah, that's true. I'm just

16:52

trying to think if there's a world that's

16:54

objectively better. And no, I... Teenage Renaissance David actually

16:56

would be pretty cool. Yeah, that'd be interesting.

16:59

Let's figure out what's going on with all the

17:01

art kits. Oh, wait. What about double ties,

17:03

eh? Oh, OK. They're

17:05

like, oh, shit. That's also in

17:07

a direct actual answer to

17:09

the first question, because that one

17:11

guy does make a... line

17:14

in that world. That's just like

17:16

a bunch of umbrellas. Oh,

17:19

Niko Wapo would actually be fun. That's

17:21

like a very fun antics universe. Yeah.

17:23

Oh, what was it?

17:25

The Trouble Guy commentator? Yeah,

17:27

it was like Gendo and

17:29

Kari. Yeah. All right. Uh,

17:31

so yeah, pick one of those

17:33

as our answer. Yeah, next up from

17:35

Funky Green Overdrive. Which flop series

17:37

had an amazing first arc, which had

17:40

a terrible, yeah, can reuse it.

17:42

I mean, Earth Child, I think, had

17:44

the biggest drop after the first

17:46

chapter of any series covered in our

17:48

show history. A huge drop, but

17:50

also I feel like Takeki Ryusei's opening

17:52

arc was stronger. Like I would

17:54

rather read the manga that kept up

17:56

Takeki Ryusei's energy, but you're right

17:58

in that Earth child had the biggest

18:00

drop. Yeah. And then the second

18:02

question is which one had a terrible

18:04

first arc implying that it got

18:06

better. Fabricant 100 definitely went from mediocre

18:08

to probably one of the, like,

18:10

I do not think you could have

18:12

written a stronger ending to that

18:14

series. Yeah, I would say also hardboiled

18:16

cop and dolphin. Oh, that had

18:18

a terrible start. That had a really

18:20

bad start and then got really,

18:22

really good. So I would actually go

18:24

with that one. Oh, how about

18:26

Demon's Plane where it just ends and

18:28

there's no conclusion? Because we

18:30

actually liked the firmer. It was about

18:32

this, like, cool class battle. Yeah. And then

18:34

it just ends without resolving it. It

18:36

just stops. I mean, there's also

18:38

like Hunters Guild Red Hood started

18:40

off strong. That actually started decent,

18:42

got really bad and then ended

18:45

really interestingly. Yeah, that's definitely the

18:47

most U shaped plot quality we've

18:49

ever read. It's either that one

18:51

or, um, oh my god,

18:53

I'm totally blanking on it. What's the,

18:55

what's the one where, uh, they end up

18:57

in Tokyo? stealth

18:59

symphony is, I think, the most U -shaped

19:01

one where it started very strong, had

19:03

an abysmal middle section, and then it ended

19:05

very strong. Yeah. And then, uh, you

19:08

and Camille also, really weird, had a really

19:10

bad start, got pretty good, and then

19:12

it fell apart again. Yeah, that's like a

19:14

hump series. Yeah. But that one's weird.

19:16

That one's like got a hump that's like

19:18

very strangely placed because that's like two -fifths

19:20

to the three -fifths part. So it's like

19:22

bad for 10 chapters, good for 10

19:24

chapters and bad for 20 chapters. Yeah, it's

19:26

not like in the middle when it's

19:28

good. It's like weird. Yeah. Anyway, very thematic

19:30

in these questions is pure coincidence. And

19:32

then finally, I guess red blade had an

19:34

art question. Sorry about that. One piece

19:36

retroactively adds a filler art called flop island

19:38

where the straw hats arrive on an

19:40

island populated entirely by shown in flop series,

19:42

which serious character becomes a straw hats

19:44

new friends and which are the villains. What

19:46

is the villains? big plan and how

19:48

does each straw hat contribute towards stopping them?

19:50

So I assume for this question, since

19:52

it's called Flop Island, what villain of a

19:54

shonen flop manga or a manga cover

19:56

by shonen flop would be interesting if they

19:58

were added to the world of one

20:01

piece? Well, first, I got

20:03

to say that Luffy is absolutely hanging

20:05

out with Noah from Golem Hearts.

20:07

Yeah, they are are friends, especially because

20:09

Golem Hearts, we read the Golem

20:11

Hearts one shot and it was just

20:13

trying to be romanced on. Yeah.

20:15

Well, also, fucking, what was it?

20:17

Gun Blaze West is just one piece.

20:19

Yeah. Actually, that might be a fun word.

20:21

They just turned into cowboys. Has

20:23

there been like a straight up cowboy

20:25

western one piece art? Because if not,

20:27

that's kind of surprising. There are characters

20:30

based on Cowboys. Yeah, it has to

20:32

be. I know there's actually a bounty

20:34

hunter arc that I think they're Cowboys,

20:36

but I don't think there's canon really

20:38

Cowboy material. Yeah. Yeah. You know

20:40

what? I'm gonna say that. Gunblaze West, Flop Island,

20:42

they just kind of talk to everyone to rip

20:44

off a one piece. They maintain all that. You

20:46

know, we have the cool arc where they shoot

20:48

Luffy with bolts and doesn't work, you know, and

20:50

he's like, I'll show you a pistol. That's

20:53

why there hasn't been a

20:55

western arc because Luffy's power means

20:57

that like it would be

20:59

just completely awash because he just

21:01

hard counters cowboys. Yeah. Okay,

21:04

so that's my pick. There we go. Jordan, thank

21:06

you so much for all your hard work on the

21:08
