Toho Yaro #67 "The Most Dangerous Game (Mottomo Kiken na Yuugi)"

The One Piece Podcast presents our topic-focused series: Fight Together. In this series we explore the major themes, stories, influences and ideas in One Piece, as well as the reverberations it has made in the real world. We do not shy away from the uncomfortable. We critique and criticize, and we explore topics that polarize. We hope you listen with open minds and open hearts.

On this second episode of our second season we have co-hosts Zach Logan, Shannon Strucci (video essayist, @struccimovies, @criticalbitcast & @strugglesesh) Bryan Newton (animation director for Rick & Morty & Teen Titans Go) with special guests @CarolAveryGrant (writer featured in VICE, IndieWire, Medium), @TheDrMonkey (NB game developer), and @VriskaChat (podcast host for Toho Yaro).

This month we discuss what's done well ... and what's done not-so-well ... in One Piece's representation of transgender and gender-fluid characters. The contradictions in Eiichiro Oda's portrayals of transgender characters, and how we wrestle with those contradictions.

Episode one of the podcast is out! It’s roughly 40 minutes, probably shorter than the normal podcast will be. Next time we’ll also pump the audio up a bit and act a lot less nervous. Also look forward to a lot more people talking on the next podcast episode. Sorry it took so long to get out, we were having some trouble. I’ll get the rest out on YouTube throughout the week. Big thanks to Ishtar and Funkatron for helping with news, feedback, and uploading the file. the next full-length episode airs next Sunday night, but we’ll have plenty of YouTube exclusives and  some mini-podcasts before then, so keep an eye on that. We are just waiting on approval from iTunes, hopefully we’ll get it and be good to go. Until later, keep adventuring!
