I just got listening to it, and I got cut off right as you asked me the last question about the conventions. There is a convention in Wichita, but its really sad. I actually have to travel to Chicago (Acen) and Dallas (Akon) for conventions. I met you guy and went to your panel in Chicago this year.

[MikeyDPirate]

Oh no! I just listening to the manga recap! Don't tell me it isn't so!

Shanks is dead! When did he died? haha

Of course I remember meeting you! Out on the balcony above the cosplay gathering (ACen has definitely been the coolest convention thus far by the way). You should've mentioned it was you.

[Chopperrules]

Just curious, but what made you guys decide on that particular chapter?

[piratemarimo]

I hope you guys do more manga recaps like this one because you know more about it than when you first read it and that makes it interesting.

I love the talk about Jaya and also Bellamy cuz he's really grown on me as a villain. am I the only one who feels any pity for him though? he might have been an asshole, but getting killed like that was saddening. In the anime especially, I just don't think they'd be screaming like that if Bellamy lived. plus it'd be so lame cuz Dofla has already let one guy get away like that.

So you really don't think Gin will decide to travel to the New World? that would be really weird cuz normally Oda brings them back when they say "I'll meet you again."

@Chopperrules:

Zach couldn't decide on a chapter, so i suggested that one since it had a lot of revelations and great reveals. If it was possible, i would have liked to recap the chapter after that too, since that explains more about the New World and Vegapunk, and further expands the previous chapter.

[Dragon Warrior Steve]

That picture is greatness.

[StrawhatSoul]

Just to note, Firecrouch 2.0 is NOT my new nickname! It will always be Seamus, StrawhatSoul and many others not mentioned here.

[Straw_Hat_Pirate]

Awesome Podcast you guys, I was amazed to hear that Strong World was shown in Spain not fair hopefully they’ll bring it here sooner seeing as it did so well. The I loved hearing which were your top 3 super novas mine are Bonney, Law and Kidd for the same basic reasons you guys said and my least fav is, and thank you Funkatron for sharing it with me, Uroge. Strawhat Soul you made me gasp like CRAZY when you said Luffy LOL! And come on guys Hawkins is cool he killed brown beard remember definitely a reason to like him.

The review for Chapter 432 was great to hear that chapter blew my MIND I mean I wigged OUT when it was revealed that Garp was Luffy’s grandpa O.O! I was HOLLY CRAP ODA IS A GENIUS XD!!!! When he revealed that Dragon was Luffy’s dad!!! The whole family threw me for a loop. Really this was an awesome podcast thanks for letting us fans pick the segments. I’m glad you enjoyed your last One Piece Podcast for a while Zach, we’ll miss you but I’m sure Ed will do an awesome job ^_^. Until Sunday guys!

[Nia]

Hurray for Germany :ninja:

I barely remembered the SA arc, too. I don't even know why. Just like Funkatron I never watched the animated version of it, either (but that's because I didn't watch the anime for years, ever since Skypeia ended, and only started watching it again recently) … only by discussing it with other people I started remembering all the details, haha.
Need to reread it soon either way.

Least favorite SN - Luffy? chokes Sheesh, don't do that again! XD
I'm totally against Drake, too. He didn't do anything, really. The hat is nice, but ... nah.
Also, don't ever mention "We're back" again. Thank you. :ninja:
I liked this segment really much, though. :happy:

Awesome chapter choice for the manga recap.

[Tragic_johnson]

Awesome how everyone hates Basil Hawkins (or at least is the least favorite supernova amonst you guys). I have to agree that X Drake is awesome just because hes a dinosaur. Overall the supernovas are okay, I like Bepo better than all of them any way.

[Waka]

I loved the chapter you guys picked. At first I was like, "'Jack in the Box'? What the…" but then I realized which one it was. I started reading OP weekly around then myself; it's the first chapter I remember reading in real time!

And I loved We're Back! A Dinosaur Story as a kid.

[The Dude]

My heart bleeds that you did the top 5 SN segment without me.

Without further ado:
1. Drake
2. Apoo
3. Urouge
4. Bege
5. Hawkins

btw sup

Cool, I like Drake too! Do you mind if I ask why Urouge is your 3rd favorite? Zach and the others kind of summed up why Drake and Apoo are good, but they didn't really talk that much about Urouge.

[Maki707]

Nice podcast.
Who some of the members picked for the top 3 supernovas list was quite surprising to me actually. Go figure.
The recap of an old chapter was interesting, I would definitly be interested in more during the breaks in chapters- Which happens FAR too often

Haha while i'm not the person who posted that i'll give you a reason why Urouge is number 2 on my list.
Simply because his smile is epic, his size and fighting spirit is massive and I get a feeling that we haven't seen everything that he can do just yet.

anyways for the hell of it i'll put my list

1. Capone
2. Urouge
3. Drake
4. Law
5. Bonney

[Albinoverse]

I was surprised almost all of you guys had Apoo as your number one let alone even on the list of top five. He's my least favorite out of the super novas.
1. Law
2. Bonney
3. Killer
4. Drake
5. Kid

I feel like these guys would be cool to develop further, others seem to be unnecessary to me, like a lot of the vice admirals. I feel like they will be in the background for the most part

[Chopperrules]

Now I see why you chose the chapter. I didn't remember what that chapter was until you guys described it, and that was a perfect chapter to do.
