Hey all we're back with another installment (and possibly the last) of the big 3 we've all come to know and love in One Piece, My Hero, and One Punch Man. We talk about the latest chapter and some emotional moments as well as a look to future chapters, then shift to talk My Hero Academia's penultimate episode (and why it might not actually be ending for good?) and what worked in it, then we finish with One Punch Man S3 and Evan's frustration at the narrative picked of two possibilities. Lastly we wrap up with a quick non spoiler review of the new Knives Out installment Wake Up Dead Man and the have some quick thoughts on The Chair Company finale.
