Zach is back from the future and hosting the longest episode of The One Piece Podcast ever. Hosts Zach, Ed, and Steve are joined by One Piece mania and One Piece Podcast Japan Corespondent Greg, One Piece translator Stephen, and music extraordinaire The Dude. On this episode we have the News with Ed (from Firecrouch), a mega-sized Manga Recap for Chapter 718, “Riku Army at The Flower Field,” a Manga Afterwords about One Piece Chapter 0 headed to next week’s Weekly Shonen Jump around the world, some deep thoughts, and a look at some surprises for next week. Then Greg and Zach walk through the #OPPJapan trip in an hour-plus long segment with lots of cool information (but not too much). After that we have a Dude and Zach’s Dance Carnival for the second series soundtrack, an Anime Recap for Episode 609, and a lengthy Piece Together. After that we round off…with something fun at the very end. 0:00:00 Introduction 0:08:10 News with Ed 0:14:10 Manga Recap: Chapter 718 1:05:41 The Manga Afterwords 1:09:00 Manga Recap: Volume 71 1:45:36 Deep Thoughts 1:47:06 Next Week on The One Piece Podcast 1:51:08 The One Piece Podcast in Japan 3:02:22 The Dude and Zach’s Dance Carnival 3:32:46 Anime Recap: Episode 609 3:44:51 Piece Together 4:30:50 To Be Continued (and MORE) I want to personally thank all of our Kickstarter supporters and fans who helped make this event possible. We will begin distributing rewards this September, and the documentary will be ready this winter! I also want to thank Ed, Steve, and Jammer for holding down the fort while I was gone. Trust me, editing and producing podcasts are not easy, and I know just how much time can go into it. Speaking of time, enjoy this nearly five-hour long podcast! Without further ado, let’s begin! WE ARE MAJI!
