Can the Straw Hats beat a god?

TJ Episode 268 • 23rd April 2024 • Systematic Geekology • anazao ministries

Continuing our series of reviews of the One Piece anime and manga, Christian Ashley, Elizabeth Pangalangan Clyde, and TJ Blackwell discuss the Skypiea arc! They discuss the vents leading up to and around the arc, the main antagonists, and later ramifications from the events of this arc as well!

.

Why is the Skypiea arc so important? How many episodes are in Skypiea? Which arc is better Alabasta or Skypiea? What happened to Enel in One Piece? Why is Enel so strong? How did Luffy beat Enel without Haki? And is it okay for a bad guy to just be bad? We discuss all this and more in this one! Join in the conversation with us on Discord now!

Systematic Geekology

Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.
