Yayyy more one pieceee

Someone pointed out to me that level 5.5 might be a reference to the the Stonewall inn in NY and I like to think Oda is so keyed in that it's a possibility. It's a Safe space Gay bar, and it's where queer liberation in the US truly began.

Wolves are natural burrowers, as they make dens to live in the wild.

Shykiba

So we are at the point I can say it~ This arc has a lot of references but the BIG 4 are~ Cabaret, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Dante's Inferno. And just General Hell!~ Also fun Fact Alicia~ Inazuma was a hint at Ivankiv's power because off screen Inazuma has Ivankov change their gender constantly~ Also both Ivankov and Inazuma are gender fluid and throughout use all pronouns. (Though most of time go by they/he or what their body's currently are at that moment).

Icy

In an non Crunchroll translation it described as each cell breaking down and repairing for the healing so that's why it hurts so much.

Snellard

Get a trial version of being a woman and see if you like it, if not, come back to Ivan and talk it out

mustofolys

Fun hunter x hunter fact, the only female ant is the queen so not only are you reacting to the queerest one-piece arc during pride month you're also reacting to the queerest hxh arc as well. And the cat ant who killed kite uses any and all pronouns.

I really want to like Ivankov, but forcing someone to live in a body of a gender they don't want is probably gonna take me a while to come around to the character. I hope he/she/they has a lot of good moments in the future.

Chris White

About Damn TIME we got to this point!! YEE-HAW!! Zane I say That, PROUDLY as a Texas Son!

Gamer Kane

Forcing people to be someone they're not and trying to gaslight them into thinking it's true feels like those gay conversion camps in reverse with added body modification. I've never liked Ivankov their like anti Bon Clay to me one is kind, accepting secure with who they are and accept others for who they are, go above and beyond and the other is Ivankov.

TTJek

We really need binge rn, for the end of this arc... Like, don't do that to yourself and us 😭😭

Serith

See, as a straight guy I can't really identify with Iva's talk about being queer and all that, but I still love Iva as a character because he's funny and his talk about miracles at the end there was awesome! And he's a Rocky horror picture show reference! So fun. Also he allows for fanfic about gender-bender fun, lol.

Nick

HEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAWWWW!!!!!! and yeah forcing someone to undergo body modification is kinda fucked up, but also what better punishment for someone who is transphobic and want to kill them than to transition them? that dude deserved it imo. and if he really wanted he could just ask for forgiveness and ask to be changed back, Invankov isn't petty like that

Goobert

I love Ivan as a character but maaaaan, the irony of this part showing up during pride month, and Ivan forcing someone to change genders after doing it to the dudes father destroyed his family and forced him into piracy? Biggest L move a character could make during the worst time possible lol And lets not pretend you don't use real world morality during like 99% of the rest of the show, Ivan don't get a pass cuz hes queer and its pride, he did a fucked up thing end of story. Bro is lucky he has some awesome moments coming up, otherwise i don't think he'd be remembered fondly

Sam Marsh

HEEHAW!! Alicia gets an invite to the epic pride party hosted by the queen of New Kama Land!

Joshua Wadcock

Can’t wait until you start binging this again lol.

Easy Mode - A.I

27:56 - lotta people like to ignore it so i'll not point it out but gotta admit, oda really is goated for bringing up such a hot topic in the open. Glad through the next 100 episodes he shows the darker side.

JHow

ivankow looks like a sweet transvestite. do you think he'd enjoy a trip to transsexual transilvania? i'm sure he'd get along great with dr frank-n-furter. but yeah, as much as i like ivankov, and as others pointed out, him forcefully changing that one dude's gender, clearly against his will, is a very iffy move to pull. pretty sure it wasn't meant as such, but it paints ivankov in a very negative light.

YukoValis

Being able to control a bodies hormones is a scary power. But Ivankov understands the importance and is all about hope. You got to love that about them.

Silver Blade

I would say even Luffy punching idiots is worse than getting sexchanged in combat...

Chamoun101

FYI: The Impel Down arc (or the Queer arc at that point) first aired in japan October 2009

UltramanUltimo

Invankov uses the hormones to disorient his opponents, when he can.

Yagi di Hoshi

imagine me, spring break late March 2010 when 438 /439 first aired, even with the most open-minded family 17 y/o me still had trouble coming out to them or literally anybody else - only to be met by such an amazing episode, only for me to go back & experience Skypiea/Water 7/Enies Lobby for the first time (my friend had to convince me to catch up at the time, he only got me enough to watch the current episodes) & have my life just utterly ***king changed in a heartbeat from then on. would NOT have this any other way. thank you sofa-king much, oda/toei.

Okoga

To be fair, if that person came back to Ivan and asked him to change them back into a man, Ivan would, no questions asked.

Yagi di Hoshi

ALSO - hmm, an "Emporio" who "owns a hidden-away room within a prison" with at least one gender-queer character. *coughanussycough* does this sound familiar? Also also, Ms. Friday & Mr. 13 (the animals that sanji incapacitated) ain't deadge. remember, it's one piece & that's the infamous no-killing-allowed alabasta saga other than the mooks that croco dried.

Cvillain626

Love the wolf bits, reminds me of the wolves in PriConne

Pat Boku

I've heard of HRT, but this is Ridiculous! Wakka wakka

Simulacrae

Saddens me that they replaced Iva's previous VA (and even had the new guy rerecord his previous dialogue) No hate to the current VA but his old one was just so much better at this role....

leviathan_13

I wouldn't take that thing about gear 2 "eating away Luffy's life" too literally. It comes from Lucci's first impression of the technique, which Luffy was not yet used to, so by no means it's an unbreakable law. I would consider it as dangerous as smoking, for example. Bad lifestyle, that indeed might shorten your life span, but it's not like you lose a fixed amount with each use.

Pau Santos

28:09 From what I read in another translation, what happened was that the father became a transvestite, not that he only discovered that he was gay.

Draconic

i dont know why but the subtitles for this get ivankov's nickname incorrect, its supposed to be iva.

Lexi's Zone

"I lost my princely status!" boo hoo. No kings no gods no masters. Forcing someone to change sex being bad aside, Ivankov and everything around Ivankov is why I can't stay sour at One Piece for Sanji sometimes coming off as transphobic (don't @ me, he can come off as transphobic even if the characters he's reacting to aren't "technically trans"). On the whole, the LGBTQIA+ characters in One Piece are some of the best friends the Strawhats can have, and that's pretty rad.

YukoValis

Ivan did force that guy to transform but he was an enemy. Ivan could have probably killed him instead but decided to open his mind a little. If she comes back saying it wasn't for her then I have no doubt Ivan would change her back.

Calldero

Personally Ivan always reminds me of 'The Rocky horror picture show'.

Ray_Tenay

Thanx for mentioning 100 gfs in your latest Stream. Hopefully by December, you can experience the joy that is Rentaro!

Cristina Domenech

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH FROM IVANKOV AND ALSO FROM ME, ALICIA.

Amiss

Luffys VA needed to pay the bills with that last scream

DaniDeFig

Alicia, You getting all the genders wrong throughout this episode just seems appropriate :P Also, Yeah, no. Transitioning someone against their will is not a good look. I will say though, the way the scene plays out, you could argue it helps establish Ivan as one of the many rough and ruthless pirates out there. Because to be honest, our Straw Hat crew is definitely odd in their lack of any of that ^^' So yeah, transitioning an enemy trying to kill you is ROUGH. But appropriate.

Rat#394

Oh no, Ivankov's power... IT TURNS THE FU%£ING FROGS GEY!

Rhiley Jones

something that makes One Piece so great is it is as deep as you want it to be if you want fun goofy pirates or you want to delve deep into morals, law, identity or whatever else you can think of it's all there but be warned there is no bottom so dig down at your own risk.... - dramatically laughs ominously- (forgets to breath and starts coughing)

Alexander Saldivar

Yeah, I had a feeling that you would love these episodes. I got so excited.

Anzac-A1

For some reason, the post for Eps 440 + 441 disappeared. Wonder why.

Liesmith

Damn I wish there was a "get poked and instantly turn into a woman" option IRL.

Reise M.Lukas

I don't really care about Pride Month or the LGBT+ community(they can live how they want) but I do like Ivankov. I care about the individual characters. One Piece is a story full of quirky characters that you fall in love with so it's easy to accept them for who they are in this story. Reality is a lot more difficult

Jorden Powell

I 100% agree, the forced transition scene made me feel really icky for the first time in one piece. Thankfully it's been the only time, consent is important!

drZ

The Father forgot the rules of gaycation.

Chris White

In America, wolf bite you. In One Piece, You Bite Wolf!! Lmao

Sean Van-Matre

so the thing about gear two shortening his life. we heard about that from one dude who isn't a doctor and is only thinking of the human body outside of being rubber. sure he said he could only do it with a rubber body but he might have still been thinking in normal terms. I'm still of the mind that gear two doesn't shorten his life.
