Shirahoshi

Like-

Well, I assume they'll switch to more of a Don Quixote build because, uh, another deck that looks really good right now is the Shirahoshi.

Yes.

[laughs]

Um, in case you don't know, the Shirahoshi, that leader can't swing.

So what you do is you play the Wanko Sugar, you rest it, and they can't respond to it, meaning you get, like, plus two just from playing a searcher.

Uh, looks very strong.

Yeah, Shirahoshi looks terrifying.

What are we doing

here? Goldberg has a legend and Shirahoshi's mom doesn't have one.

That's insane.

That's what I'm saying.

You can send us questions via Twitter, IGP Podcast, or our YouTube community tab.

First question comes in from PokeSmashBros1.

They ask, do you all think they're holding back on super-evolving V1 Shirahoshi Manchurian because they're scared of their 10-turn debuff removal? Also, what if Bandai heard of us asking for 6-plus Halloween lore only to trials by super-evolving Corazon and Kid Lore next? That would be kind of funny if they did that.

I

Bandai.

Shirahoshi.

Look, I'm not a big Shirahoshi fan.

Yeah, me neither.

Obviously, everyone on this channel knows how I feel about Papag.

Papag, sure that deals with Kami- You can't let that hate transfer ...

Pa- Papag deals with Kami.

Kami is not Shirahoshi, but there is some interconnectivity there in terms of that damn starfish.

He proceeds to starve to death and then work, or, or almost starve to death, work with Zeph and, and the entire time he's still cooking with his dream of the All Blue.

But actually, in the series, I think one of the biggest moments that we like make a joke, but that actually shows how much conviction Sanji has, is when he saw the m- m- m- mermaid princess, like Shirahoshi.

He said, "Chopper, I would rather die than not see the most beautiful woman in the world." But like, like, like he said that to his face.

And yes, we, we treat it as a joke, but that's who Sanji is.

[laughs]

Okay, why? [laughs] "Because I got some very valuable information you won't hear from anyone else." And, uh, that's when he recaps, it's like, you know, in his own head, that, you know, the, one of the ancient weapons, uh, and named after the gods, Poseidon refers to the power of Shirahoshi.

Uh, and that another one, Pluton, slumbers beneath the land of Wano.

The only people in the wor- entire world who know both of these facts are the Straw Hat crew and little old me, hee hee hee hee.

So schi- the schizophrenia of, like, hearing things, and then Roger had the, quote-unquote, "able to hear the voices" by echoloca- locating Poneglyphs, and it was really reinforced when we saw his, like, little mini backstory in this arc where he could hear the, the Sea Kings talk, talking to each other.

Then the implication is back in fucking Fishman Island when Shirahoshi is talking to all the, the motherfucking Sea Kings, and supposedly Luffy and the audience can overhear.

I guess at that point you're supposed to believe that he can hear even if he can't communicate to them the same way that Roger could.

So there are people that can, like, hear shit.

You know, there are so many.

Shirahoshi.

Shirahoshi, right? So it's the manga for EBO5.

But let's be real.

shirahoshi is looking decent like i remember jake used to like really wanted to make shirahoshi work back in the day i think his card pool now is insanely good it's constantly keep getting under the radar getting card support and i think now it has some very good cards it does not surprise me there are a bunch of good decks that are getting leader sport look black maria finally got a searcher and it's a 2k uh well kaido right like animal kingdom but We're getting there.

I'm also a dad with a full-time job and other hobbies, so I can relate to a lot of what you talk about.

I started around OP12, playing casually with friends.

I build a few off-meta decks like Green Jinbei, Shirahoshi, Kobe, and a few others, all of them becoming relevant, like Shirahoshi coming back might be meta soon.

17-year-old Jotaro can't smoke.

[laughs] Uh, but Shirahoshi, she's like 16.

[laughs] Fucking-

Yeah, God.

Whoa.

Oh, Shirahoshi? Snooze.

Yeah, that's ass.

Snooze.
