On this episode of The One Piece Podcast we have an episode that I can only describe as ‘epic.’ We have Zach, Ed, Steve, Jason, and Greg on to talk about some huge news from Japan, the Manga Recap for Chapter 614, “What’s Done is Done.” We also have Greg’s on-air translation and commentary concerning the NHK Documentary for “One Piece.” Following that we have an Anime Recap for Episode 487, “The Insatiable Akainu, Lava Fists Pummel Luffy.” Following that, we review the Season Three, Fourth Voyage DVD set with our acting correspondent, go into some Piece Together, and round things off. This is epically sized, but we also hope that you find it “epic” in nature. So without further ado, follow the download links below, and enjoy in either M4A (AAC) Enhanced or MP3 Basic:

This was as you guys said EPIC!!!! the perfection thing to celebrate Valentine’s day ^_^! The manga recap was amazing this was seriously a hilarious chapter loved it especially the ending, Luffy and his crazy ideas. The documentary translations by Greg were greatly loved since I had no idea what they were saying, so thanks for that Greg ^_^. The anime recap was great you guys always make me laugh. And I especially enjoyed the review for season three fourth voyage I did not expect Michael to be on for that, hearing him read the description on the back of the dvd was FREAKING AWESOME XD!!! ^_^ Like I said Epic, I hope you guys have fun at Katsucon oh and here is a little Valentine’s poem for you
Luffy’s hat’s yellow, the grand line is huge, there’s nowhere I’d rather spend Valentine’s day then here on the Sunny with you
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY XD!!!!
Very funny good episode. Kung Fu Point took me by surprise when I first saw it. We had a great episode this week the funniest part was the SOS. Season 3 Fourth Voyage was awesome and I’m eagerly awaiting Fifth Voyage plus i FINALLY got volume 61 today.
Awe man was watching a ep of Pokemon where Tatum Voiced this guy Tobias and is pretty much kicking Ash’s butt in a Pokemon battle.
Please dear God Eneru, record y’all’s Jack in the Box adventure and put it on youtube!!!
what does n.h.k stand for
Thanks for telling me about that bit of information about the artwork… But it looks like the Jolly Rogers you sent don’t qualify…
Manga recap…
Cute baby! I’m willing to be Shanks is the father. Woop Slap is wondering what Garp/Dadan/Dragon/Sengoku/Sanji/Carue is thinking… Also, one of the woman is wearing a Dosoki Panda shirt
Zoro makes everything worse, not just beating everyone and tying them up, but going on step further by… Well, we’ll get to that…
Nami is NOT helping them at ALL by asking about the treasure. It makes them seem like that’s what they were after the whole time!
Brook TRIES to lighten the mood, which I appreciate.
Something I HATE, though, is that now apparently you need something else OTHER than a Log Pose to travel through the New World. It’s like a whole new set of rules for this place… What else DO you need, then? Too bad we don’t get the answer right away. And that’s another thing, you’d think that after studying up the weather of the New World, she would have been told by Haredas that you need something other than a Log Pose to go through the New World…
I’m reading MangaReader, and it Zoro’s bounty has apparently remainded unchanged at 120 million… So I dont’ know what to believe.
Anyway, HERE’S where things get REALLY complicated. Zoro’s treating this like a hostage situation. Like, what the Hell, he’s acting like a real bad guy here. He’s giving the other guys a bad name… But then again, that kind of ties into the theme of “decide for yourself” whether someone’s good or bad. He even threatens to KILL all those guys, like what the Hell! This was such a shock to me that I just couldn’t believe what he was saying!
Also, Brook laughs at Zoro calling Sanji a “pervert kappa”. Kind of a call-back to the Mugiwara theater where all the Straw Hat Pirates were mythical creatures.
“Don’t fight Hody, and meet me at the Ocean Forest”. I have a feeling we’re going to see Jinbe again!
Also, the “don’t fight Hody” thing. I think Jinbe knows Luff could beat Hody up, and he’ll probably have good reason to, but Jinbe wants to warn him about something… Of course, I know all this, but still, speculating for the time being…
Kung Fu Point… looks weird… But it’s Chopper, so I love it!
Sanji WOULD try and meet the Mermaid Princess, said to be the most beautiful creature in the world, aside from Boa Hancock.
So freaking CUTE Shirahoshi is! X3 And it’s cool that she wants to go to where Jinbe happens to be!
Yay, Brook! I love that fucking skeleton! XD
I love Luffy’s face when he comes up with his “good idea”…
It’s more disturbing than cool, all those people being thrown against the tower…
On the other hand, I though Shirahoshi hiding in Megalo was one of the most hilarious things I’ve seen happen in this arc! XD
NHK One Piece Documentary…
That mom needs to learn some responsibility.
Personally, I STILL don’t get why One Piece isn’t as popular as Naruto, aside from the obvious… I don’t really understand how Naruto being all about “I” while One Piece being all about “we” makes Naruto more popular here.
The whole “ragtag bunch, not elite” idea, and debuting after “the bubble popped”, those are good insights.
Anime recap…
Blackbeard laughing, Marines running away, one guy too in awe to move his legs…
Blackbeard really has the world’s attention, they know how threatening his is, after seeing what he’s capable of doing… I like that.
lol, Blackbeard’s face on the Shabody screen, it’s like a Blackbeard version of the awesome face.
Look at the despair… This pleases Blackbeard immensely. GOD I want to know this guy’s backstory!
I believe Blackbeard when he says he’s willing to fight, but one can’t help but feel that he’s purposely taunting the Marines for having such broken spirits.
Also, EVERY TIME I GET A CLOSE-UP OF BLACKBEARD’S FACE, I THINK OF USOPP! Must be the nose.
Dang, Sengoku’s Buddha form is huge… Also, I’m surprised they can still find their footing when the ground is so cracked up. Either way, Sengoku’s persistence in fighting, and rousing speech is enough to life the fallen Marines’ spirits!
Unfortunately, Onigumo gives a rousing speech that gives the Marines the wrong idea. Their mission was accomplished, Ace and Whitebeard are dead. These guys don’t want to fight anymore. Yet Onigumo, much like Akaiu before him, insists on killing every last criminal there.
Then Kizaru shows up and once again takes a good long while to charge up his attack.
OH SHIT, INAZUMA!!! He was still somewhat recovering from the poison, too!
Did Ivankov ever use those attack in the manga? Either way, I doubt it’ll work, since Akainu’s a logia type. Also, having his lips burned off is a terrible way to go. Actually, he just put on lots of make-up… AGAIN! That won’t help him in the fire, though. Strange, now we’ve gone from Buggy filler to Ivankov filler.
Coby and Helmeppo again. Even Helmeppo’s shocked by just how far the Marines are going… When suddenly, Coby realizes something… He has the power… The power he can’t control.
I find it funny how Akainu COMPLETELY ignores everyone else and concentrates on “Dragon’s son”.
Oh look, the ocean! We can make it-OH SHIT, THE OCEAN’S FROZEN!!!
YEESH! Did we really need to look up Jimbei’s… um, jinbe?
It’s not recommended to punch magma… I’m surprised that Jimbei didn’t lose his hand completely after something like that. I’m also surprised that they’re still in the air after all that…
And here we see where Luffy gets his X-scar. And I have to admit, after all Luffy’s been through, adding THAT just seemed to be overkill. But then again, with Akainu, there’s no kill like overkill!
NO! Luffy’s straw hat! He doesn’t notice… He’s too in shock… Also, apparently, Jimbei survived getting impaled by a magma fist. More power to him.
A Fishman’s heart is in the GROIN?! …I never knew that.
I actually like the image of Jimbei holding Luffy. Luffy is so much smaller than Jimbei, it’s actually adorable… If they weren’t fighting for their lives.
LOOK! ON LUFFY, BEHIND THE SMOKE! THERE’S LUFFY’S X-SCAR!
The sky clears, the sun shines, but both Luffy and Jimbei are in trouble…
What kind of an asshole IS Akainu, he keeps saying he’s in the way, and now he’s saying he should be worried about himself. Doesn’t this guy pay attention to ANYTHING the pirates say?! God damn, what a fucking idiot.
God, DAMN! Seeing that hole in Jimbei’s chest is disturbing… And it’s still really impressive that he survived that…
Is that really the most he can do? Growl at him? Poor Jimbei… And then he passes out…
OR DOES HE?! HE’S GETTING BACK UP! GOD DAMN, AFTER ALL JIMBEI GOES THROUGH, I REALLY REALLY WANT HIM TO JOIN THE CREW!!!
What’s this? Crocodile saves Luffy? Normally I’d ask why, but Akainu’s such a fucking bastard I don’t care about what Crocodile’s true motivation is! FUCK AKAINU! FUCK HIM HARD UP THE ASS!!!! Glass Crocodile… That’s a neat thought.
lol, Crocodile saves Jimbei and Luffy by attacking them with a sandstorm… Which leads to some BUGGY ANTICS!!!
“Thank you, red-nosed man!” XD
And then there’s Vista, the badass flower swordsman! And the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates… All willing to protect Straw Hat Luffy. And Akainu, being the dumbass that he is, doesn’t understand why. He’ll never understand, the heartless bastard.
It’s fascinating to see those random pirates contemplating what to do… They’re trapped between a rock and a hard place… Where can they go? Where can Buggy, Jimbe, and Luffy go?!
lol, Buggy’s followers make a literal SOS! XD
…In a yellow submarine? It’s Trafalgar Law! His reasoning for saving Luffy is a very peculiar one… One which I don’t understand… But as long as he’s there and willing to help, I won’t complain!
lol “I’m a doctor”… I can’t help but think of that Family Guy episode…
DVD reviews…
J. MICHAEL TATUM, FTW!!!!
Finding out the story of the island is nice and satisfying for the arc, but I don’t care for it since it has little relevance on the overall plot…
