discussions but of course they go on tomorrow and so I'm going to invite each of our speakers to reflect perhaps on what they have heard over the last two days in particular whether there's things that we didn't hear and probably that crash turned out. I want to end promptly at six and I want before we end I want to be sure that each of these guys tell us basically the bottom line on what is the what are the chances that we're going to have another blowout in the world rice market in the next two or three years that is what is the probability of another rice crisis similar to what we had in 2007 2008 now you can build up to that answer or you can start out directly these guys run the leading rice model in the world so if anybody knows at least analytically and from the data what's what's going on out there these are the two people who do. Why don't I let Eric start and then Sam finish. Sam represents Eric please. Eric is a professor at the University of Arkansas and with that question the leading expert in the US on the US rice market and one of the two or three leading experts in the world on the world rice market so somebody knows what he's talking about. Let me just update actually the presentation we made yesterday. Things are changing accurately. We're seeing actually a lot of pressure right now on prices since and these are just numbers from August until yesterday this price quotes US export prices of about $160 a million that's in a three month period that's a 40% increase in the US export price in the last three months. A little more modest movement in the type prices of about $50 to $60 and the real prices are going to be about $80 for about 20% increase so you know my sense is that the global rice economy remains a very fragile market. One of the things that I think that was interesting for me that I learned from these conferences is to see how much is going on not easily the global rice market but within a lot of domestic rice markets. You look at the global rice market and actually think of all those sort of add things associated with it that are going to I think keep it as very vulnerable to the kind of price price that we had. There's just the really continuing ongoing market transparency, extensive role of peristals here in Asia, and then I think just I was talking to a fellow during the break and he's talked about just the frequency of extreme weather events that are taking place over the last four or five years compared to 20 or 25 years ago. My sense is that we're starting to see the impacts of climate change and linkages to biofuel out of the markets. All these things I think are really exacerbating and I think what we can see as they move towards stabilizing the global rice market. On the positive side of it, again I wonder how it was very interesting about this symposium and I want to thank Sam for putting this conference together because I know he really brought some very interesting people here to present. But what actually was interesting was the prospects of pushing and moving this global rice economy. I see a lot of variability in the domestic market structures, the growing role of the private sector and investments. I think certainly this disillusion that we're seeing in terms of the post-harvest circumstances of the rise of the supermarket, this I think is a very interesting and important, potentially stabilizing, structural performance change in the domestic markets that is going to have some long run positives for the global market. Longer term, I think you think about the diversification of the Asian diet. I think this is also something that's going to help take away this sort of vapid concern about the fear of associated with shocks to the production systems. And those are main ideas I guess I would say. Part of the role of the panel is that I actually would say something as well. I want to put the paradox on the table here. Listen to Jacob LeMond tell us how much China is spending on its R&D and basic bonds following its agriculture. China's rice economy is a pretty good shape in this year. India is sitting on huge surpluses. Thailand's got 5 million dollars, or 5 million tons of stocks that it doesn't come up to do with. And yeah, the market is really, really nervous. And it's nervous because, think about this, Indonesia needs a million tons of rice. Whoa, that can move the world market even though India, China, and Thailand are also having plenty of rice. There's something clearly wrong with the World Rice Market. It is really messed up. And I would hope that before we all get out of this conference that we at least put on the agenda going forward, how are we going to fix the World Rice Market? What are the steps that it's going to take so that we can actually open it up? I have much more visible price formation. I have much more open trade. How are we going to take those steps? I spent four and a half hours yesterday at the Ministerial Roundtable. And everybody sort of understands the problem, and nobody had an idea on how to move that forward. I have to say, by proposal, the, let's get countries to invest in larger rice reserves, everybody understood that, well, yeah, that would solve the problem, but nobody wants to do it certainly. Nobody wants to finance it. So I come away from the two days at a bit of a loss on what I think is the big agenda question, is fixing the World Rice Market. I understand we need to invest a lot in R&D and get rice productivity up, and that will make the world a lot less nervous, but we've got a very, very nervous world right now on the rice situation, and I'm hoping that maybe we could make progress on that. So that's why two days worth, I'll let Sam finish. Thank you, Peter. Good evening, everybody. I think we are still here. Before I say anything on the rice market, let me just say that thank you all for your lively discussion. I think this one and a half years has been excellent in terms of what we want to achieve. And on the ED and the Asia Congress, we would like to continue this type of forum on the annual basis. Hopefully we are going to do it in the next three years until we have the next ILC. We plan to have other similar things. Hopefully we'll have some answer. We will raise a lot of problems and issues. Hopefully next time we'll have some answer how to fix the market, how to make sure the regional rice reserve will work, that cast a very, in terms of EDB's focus. Hopefully we'll have some answer. But again, I'd like to congratulate all the presenters and the audience in terms of lively participation. Please keep in mind that next year we'll have the meeting somewhere. The location has not been decided. Please prop land and clean the meeting. With that, let me just say that in the last day and a half, I've heard from various people including pictures and many of the people saying that we may have already technology available or we'll be available in the next five years to have the, to include the productivity. But we are not sure whether there will be enabling factors in this kind of policy environment that will be there to make this technology potential realized in the production. I think our next conference will focus more on trying to find solutions into the policy aspect, investment aspect. I didn't hear a lot of solutions in the whole one and a half days I was here. The thing is we don't have the solution. The bottom line is that we don't have the solution there. So hopefully the next second conference will be much more useful in terms of finding a solution. I was proposing cats that ADB and ERIS would jointly post this conference on forum next year somewhere maybe in Mahila or maybe in Delhi or somewhere else.  Let me talk about pictures first in about rice market. Where do we see the rice price in the next six months or two years? I think this side will appear. I think he put it very rightly. Nobody knows what the price will be tomorrow. Forget about the next six months and two years. And it is not based on fundamentals. He talked about politics, policies, so many other things practice in this rice market.  But I think he put it very eloquently saying that we have so much production. And we have so much in the stock. The countries don't know what to do with the stock. At the same time we have a market which is very nervous. The price in last month has gone up $80. It used to take months for price to move by $10. Now it's taking a week for price to move by $10. At the same time we have rice slotting in India. We had a Supreme Court had to intervene a couple of months in India actually warning the government not to procure so much rice because it's slotting outside in the monsoon. They lost so many million tons of rice. Janaya can attest to that. Actually they warned that you need to give this rice to poor people. If you have millions of people dying without food and you have millions of tons of rice sitting in India, UP near the radio station and not in there in the procurement. So it's very ironic. We have one side we have too much rice and please don't know what to do. On the other side we have very enormous market. I have to predict what the price will be. I think the next three months price will go down because I think India has to export somewhere they have to send this rice a few million tons because the new rice is coming in. There is an initial meeting in 30 from the member. I think most likely they will decide that the government is going to sell some from G to G but I think they will still not allow the private sector to export non-passable rice. That's my take. I think market is just waiting for that to happen. I think it's watching what India will do. I think over the long run I think Eric told it correctly that we are Asian consumption pattern where diversified for cattle and conserves of the client. Although it will be said on the extent of diversification but it definitely will be diversified. And he also put in this morning very nice that we really don't know what will happen in Africa. You look at the historical data there is no trend of slowing down. Whether it's going to continue in the future, there is an inflection point in the future we really don't know when this could happen. And he actually told very nicely if the trend continues we might be needing another 100 million tons by 2050. I think that may not happen but that's what the trend is showing that. So we have a lot of uncertainty if you take out the short term situation there and what's going to happen in the future. But bottom line is that we need to improve the productivity. I mean nobody denies that fact. Doesn't matter we diversify, we don't diversify, we know that area is not going to increase, area is most likely to decline and we need to jack up the productivity though. The main concern to 1.2 or 1.3 percent which will keep rice players affordable. And I think as the mayor said I am taking that technology is there but the more important is policy and investment in all level of supply chain. I think that's what our focus should be in the next round of conference sometime in the next up and down. Thank you.


would have drawn it up, but any element of relief to just snap that seven game win streak and get back on track. Yeah, really, really good to get a victory and, you know, come in and hear music and, um, you know, for the guys to continue to grind, obviously pitched really well today. Um, you know, a couple big plays in the field, um, and then a couple really good at bats to set up that winning run with with phrase work in the walk, uh, and then Mercer, uh, dumping that one down the line. Uh, just a really good battle and, uh, you know, played had some winning at bats there at the end. You mentioned that night, ending with runners on first and third. You opted to stick with crabs instead of going to Gary Sanchez. That just a situation where he's better suited to potentially button that situation. Uh, yeah, just just like that match up there, you know, we would have been in a two out situation with a runner on first or something might have gone to Gary there. Um, yeah, I just decided I wanted to go with crats in that first and third spot. You mentioned solid pitching earlier, J have seven and a third, just three hits, zero runs. What went in the decision to lift him there and go to autofino? Um, I just felt like he kind of ran out of gas at the end of the seventh. And, uh, I kind of wanted them to go back out in the least face cano and he felt, he felt up to do that. Um, you know, and, and I think which was symbolic of the day for him, I thought his two seam fastball was really good. And, and that's what he ends up finishing the day. We gets the weak contact ground out from cano there. Um, but felt like he was kind of at his end, um, a little bit before and, uh, felt good about the spot there for Otto and, uh, a good job by Ramos with two, two sitting on a pitch and, and, and obviously just keeping it fair. But, um, what a, what a great performance by J. I'm not remarkable considering he had not pitched in 12 days, just how sharp he was. Um, yeah, but we've also seen that like money. I thought was really sharp yesterday and, and masa pitching on, you know, extended rest was, was sharp. But J, you know, with, look, it's no secret what he's been through this year and, um, for him to, you know, in his last outing, I thought pitched really well after a couple of tough starts, uh, pitched well. And now with the long rest, um, his focus has never altered. His work between starts has been excellent. And, and I, you know, in a lot of ways that outing today was, you know, he's had a lot of good outings for us since, since we got him. Um, that's, that's right up there. He was, you know, to be in the eighth inning and to be at essentially 90 pitches against a good, good lineup. Um, just really proud of that effort for him. Understand that you said he thought he may be hit a wall by the end of the seventh, but with the way the bullpen had faltered lately, is there any extra internal debate to take out a guy that's rolling? Yeah, look, you still got to lean on guys and count on guys to do their jobs. And you know, because you hit a bump in the road here or there, uh, that doesn't change. And we have a ton of confidence in the guys in that room that when they're called upon to do their job, that they'll do it. And, you know, the game is littered with bumps in the road, and you've got to be able to handle that as a, as a big lager. And, and our guys will continue to do that. Um, but nothing's altered with, with when we put a guy into in a spot, we expect them to succeed. Even if they've had a couple of failures, uh, you know, we know they're pretty good at turning the page.


Rwy'n gweithio youlo y Fflaen ac eistedd i g partnerships gyda cyfrind ynheresio i'r cyfrind. Rhaid i chi'n chael ei ddaseud yn ddifrif ddefnyddio i fynd i mi seithio'r cyfrind ynherwydd Llyfrin yn ei ddifrwyser iaeth ddifyn y Llyfrin ynherwydd'i'r cyfrind yn hefyd. Felly mae'r Dynys i'r cyfrind ynherwydd i ddifyn ynherwydd. Dylunio? Yn edrych. Mae'r ddifyn ynherwydd i'r cyfrind yn heriau ei ddifnyddio i blyniol yw'r cyfrind ynherwydd pwyllt ynherwydd of an SSI laid under the European Union withdrawal act 2018. We're considering the scrutiny procedure under which it's been laid and the categorisation applied by the Scottish Government. So we've got the seed and propagating material EU exit Scotland amendment number two regulations SSI 2019 190. That's been laid under the negative procedure and it's been categorised as of low significance. The instrument amends various marketing regulations for seed and plant propagating materials. These regulations transpose EU directives to ensure minimum quality standards and traceability. The instrument also corrects errors in a previous instrument, which were identified by the committee at its meeting on 12 March. Our advisers indicate that the scrutiny procedure and categorisation could be appropriate. So is the committee content that the appropriate scrutiny procedure and categorisation has been applied? Thank you. Gender item three, we're considering an instrument subject to the affirmative procedure. No points have been raised on the draft debt arrangement scheme Scotland amendment regulations 2019. So is the committee content with that? Contentain. And the next item item four, considering an instrument subject to negative procedure. We're looking at the welfare foods best start food Scotland regulations 2019 SSI 2019 19 19 1919 one nine three. The regulations make provision for a new scheme which will replace the UK healthy start vouchers in Scotland. The aim of the scheme is to help and encourage the low-income pregnant women and families with children under 3 in receipt of certain benefits to have access to healthy foods. The meaning of regulation 18, which concerns the level of fine for an offence relating to failing to notify a changing circumstances or to produce a payment card, could be made clearer. Details of that are available in our published papers. The Scottish Government has acknowledged this concern and has made a commitment to lay an amending instrument to clarify the regulation. Does the committee wish to draw the regulations to the attention of the Parliament on reporting ground H as the meaning of regulations could be clearer? Aged. Does the committee wish to welcome the Scottish Government's undertaking to lay an amending instrument to clarify the drafting of regulation 18? Aged. Next, we have the local government pension scheme, miscellaneous amendments, Scotland amendment regulations 2019-SSI 2019-204. The instrument rectifies two relatively minor errors identified by the committee at its meeting on 21 May. The instrument was laid before the Parliament on 11 June and comes into force on 28 June. That does not respect the requirement that at least 28 days should elaps between the laying of an instrument that is subject to the negative procedure and date on which it comes into force. The reasons for the breach are set out in correspondence with the Presiding Officer, which is available in our published papers. Standing orders require the committee to draw to the Parliament's attention any failure to respect the 28-day laying requirement. Does the committee wish to draw the regulations to the attention of Parliament on reporting ground J as they fail to comply with the requirements of section 28.2 of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform Scotland Act 2010? Aged. Is the committee content that the failure to comply with section 28 is acceptable in the circumstances? Aged. No points arose on SSI 2019-190, 191 and 195. Is the committee content with these instruments? Content. Item 5 is an instrument that is not subject to any parliamentary procedure. There have been no points on SSI 2019-197. Is the committee content with this instrument? Content. Thank you and I'll move the meeting into private.


Today we're opening a raw yellow mega pack booster box. What's up guys, we're back with another epic video. Today we have an entire booster box, a first edition raw yellow mega pack. This is a fan favorite. Every time I open this, people love this GX nostalgia. This was sent in by TCG addicts to open for him. I'm pretty excited to open this because I've never opened a booster box of this before. So shout out to TCG addicts. Make sure you guys thank him in the comments and he also sent a giveaway. So here is the giveaway. Let's see what's inside. I have not even looked. So hopefully, hopefully something cool for you guys. Oh, it's a PSA card, a rainbow dragon PSA nine. What an amazing giveaway. This sleeve doesn't quite fit in there, but it's still an amazing card. Wow, secret rare from the 10. All you guys have to do is like this video, be subscribed and let TCG addict know down below how much you appreciate the box and what you like from the box. All right, I've never opened this box. It has 11 cards per pack and 24 packs. So it's like a regular booster box, but two extra cards per pack. So let's get into this. I think the packs are gonna have a rare super ultra and secret in every pack. Some of these cards in first edition are actually pretty pricey. Some of these GX throwbacks are really cool. So let's see if we can pull some of those good ones. Usually we only open a couple of packs of this at a time because it's out of those raw yellow blisters or whatever. This time we get 24. All right, 24 packs of this set.  I'm excited to open this first time on the channel. It's pretty cool. We're starting off with an alternate art mercenitrix. So was it GX they did the secret rare and they did the common in this one? Or can you get it in both? I'm not sure. That's the alternate art. We got the rainbow gravity. Elemental hero, Nios. You bell, Tarot incarnate. Future fusion, ultra rare. This is nice in the old Edison format diva hero deck that I've played a little bit. Oh, our righteous justice secret rare and then a hero signal. Look at all those hero stuff. I mean, that is crazy. Gateway to the six is a good common. Rise and rainbow back. All right, on to the next pack. So, okay, start. Nothing too crazy there. Just some cool stuff. Okay, let's see. Okay, there was that. And we ripped off part of the back. I think it was like two from the back or something. Let's do that. Rainbow dark dragon, grand convergence. The power bond. Thunder King Ryo. This is a very good common, another Edison card. It's also used in some other formats. Rare value, Garof, lightsworn warrior. Next is the ultra, I think. Jane lightsworn paladin. So back to back of lightsworns. That's pretty cool. Crystal abundant secret rare. Crystal beast emerald tortoise. Super rare. Okay. Starting a little slow. Okay, so it's four from the back. It looks like starting a little slow. Few cool cards, some nostalgia and the lightsworns and the crystal beast, but nothing too crazy yet. So let's see. I think superpoly is one of the best cards. E-emergency calls the secret rare in here. Those are some pretty good ones. Let's do that and see if we can pull those secret rares. I think Instifusion's in here as well. Card ejector. This and Legendary Collection GX are very similar sets, but some things are a little bit different. Hard trooper, I think that's a decent value too. Necrashade. Mudball man. The great Shogun Sheehan. Offerings to the snake deity. Chimeratech over dragon, very cool rare. The sixth samurai, come on, very cool. And secret rare. Oh, could it be superpoly or emergency call? Oh, Oversoul. Okay, so we've gotten H and O. So now we need the, I think it was H, was that right? Hero blast. No, R, so we have R and O, so we need the H and E now. Next pack. Let's see if we can get that E. The H is not so good, but the E is pretty good. It just searches out an elemental hero from your deck, which is pretty insane. So we already have a Judgement Dragon right at the front, which is crazy. We got to drew it. Avian Altar. We got the Rainbow Nios. This card used to be like $15. I bet the gold rare or the gold letter rare actually really hurt the value of that, but 15 for a common was crazy. Judgement Dragon. Card blocker. Offerings to the snake deity. Winkrebo, level nine, very cool. The sixth samurai, Uriza. All the Ultras are six Samurais, weird, okay. Oh, another spell. Crystal Blessing. I think we already got that one in Light in Dragon. Okay, I think Light in Dragon's okay, but it's been a weird box so far. I don't think we've really pulled anything too insane. So do the elemental heroes come as secrets? I mean, can you get like Cyber Dragon stuff? And this one I'm not really sure. I'm sure you can get like, no malicious might be a secret in this. That's a good one. We got Desire. We got Overload Fusion. Electrum. Rainbow Ruins. Plasma, that's not bad. Lannister. Stratos, there's a good common. Probably like around $4 if I had to guess. Ubell, that's a good card. Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner. Those Lightsworns and those, what was it, the sixth samurai? Oh, and Speak of the Devil. There he is, Malicious and Topaz Tiger. This card I think is around $20. So that's a pretty good secret rare. And speaking of Edison format, there it is. All right, so so far, these pulls have been pretty good, I would say. They've been okay, I mean like pretty good. Not like great, not amazing, not really bad, but pretty good. Let's see if we can step it up to amazing. That's what I would love to see. We got Sheehan. Desire, Diamond Dude. Cyber Dragon. Crystal Release. System down. Fusion Recovery. Glad every beast were a chariot. Instifusion, there it is. Mentioned that earlier, that's a good Ultra. And a Hero Flash, you love to see that card. And the Grand Moles is super. That's actually probably with some really nice pulls. We're only a few packs in. We've already pulled so many foils. It's like, it just feels weird. It's like, oh, okay, I guess we're just gonna pull four foils a pack then. Oh, and I really like these cause like different rarities. I don't know, it's just fun. It's not like just having a guaranteed foil. It's a little different. Mazuki, cool card. Gallus, a rainbow path. Dark Lord Desire, Great Shogun Sheehan. Rainbow Gravity, card blocker. Elemental Hero, Flame Wingman. Illuminal Lightsworn Summoner again. Okay, we're gonna get that Lightsworn deck together. There's the O again. O Over Soul, all right. And the Darkened Dragon. This one has a few dollar value. I know that for sure. A lot of O's and R's, but where's the E? That's what we want. Let's see if we can get it. We've got the Rainbow Dark Dragon. Yet again, Mazuki again. That's cool. Destiny Marage, Rainbow Ruins. Sapphire Pegasus, Thunder King Ryo's good. Glad there's return. Destiny Hero Disc Commander, cool. Macro Cosmos, another good card. And Hero Flash again. Come on, another grandma. It's the same cards. Interesting. Okay, that was weird, but where's that emergency call? Where's that Super Polymerization C career? We love to have those. Those are very nice cards. I think they have a high rarity of those cards. So they're obviously pretty valuable. Let's see, we have Diamond Dude, Overload Fusion. Kasha, Cunning of the Six Samurai. Prisma, Divine Nios. Judgment, Dragon. Venom Nonga. Yoriza again, and... Oh, Nios, Alias, that's a cool C career. And Hero Black, it's like the third one of those. Weird, we get a lot of repeats. Is this a smaller set than like GX, Legendary Collection GX? I'm not really sure, because it seems like we are pulling repeats. Maybe we're just getting a Lucky Unlucky, whatever you want to call it, pulling repeats. There's a test tiger, that's a good card. We have Gateway to the Six. We've got Grandmaster, Flute. Oh, it's a real lecture, test tiger. Fusion Recovery, Hero Mask. Cyber Inn, Dragon, Alternate Art. Miracle Fusion, there's a good one, another one for the D.Va Hero deck. Oh, and there it is, E, Emergency Call with the Crystal Bees, Amber Man. These are all like superheroes, we're kind of weird. All right, we are not even done with the first half of this booster box. There is a lot of nice cards in this set, and a lot of cards in general in this set. 11 cards per pack feels like a lot more for some reason. Okay, Rainbow Dark Dragon, Grand Convergence, Card Trooper, Card Ejector, Shuten Doji, Stratos again, Good Common, Crystal Release, Ubell, Terran Card, have we gotten the other one yet? I think it's probably a Seeker Rare. Dimensional Prison, I think it's a $3 card. And a Crystal Promise, and a Destiny, Destiny Signal. Kind of forgot that was a different card than Hero Signal. Final pack on the right side of the raw yellow Mega Pack box. Here we go, one, two, three, four. We have Rainbow Dragon, Arcus, Venominin, Rise, Nios, System Down, Magical Mallet, Ubell, there. No, it's not a Seeker, I think it's a Seeker in GX. It's a Rare, there it is.  Oh, Yaichi, okay, and Necro Gardener, not a bad printing of that card. And then, look, Crystal Beast, Nobaz Tiger, Necro Gardener, pretty cool Seeker Rare. On to the next side, Raw Yellow Mega Pack. Now we're looking for that Super Polly. Can we pull everything that we won in this opening? There's a play set of Thunder King, Ryo. That is not bad at all.  Gateway, Resbyte, Venominin, Ryo again. We got the Gladiator Return Offerings, the Chimeratech Overdragon. Instant Fusion, number two. If we get a play set of Ultras, that'd be crazy. Ooh, and a Laquari, that's a cool card. And another Hero Sign, so like Hero Signor and Destiny Sign will look exactly the same. Like literally, someone has an H and one has a D. That just sounded a little weird, but let's keep going. Continuing on to the next pack. We have, oh, we got four there. We have the Rainbow Path, Dark Lord Desire, DD Survivor, Necro Shade, Offering to the Snake DD, Percentetrix Alt Art, cool. Rainbow Gravity, you bell, you bell. Wolf, okay, another Lightsworn. Dimensional Fissure, man. They're not gonna let you send anything to the graveyard in this set. And then we have Crystal Beasts and with this cat. It's interesting, it's like certain archetypes like Crystal Beasts, Super Rares. They have the Six Samurais, Ultra Rares and Lightsworns as Ultra Rares. That's kind of weird. I guess that's cool, because you keep it like uniform for your deck or whatever, interesting. But that's what I'm noticing in this opening that they are very consistent about the archetypes. I guess Judgment Dragon is a common, but there's already, is there an Ultra Printing? Maybe there's not, all right. Cyber Dragon, Arcus, Avian. Oh, we got a Ruxen Special Hero Mask. Sapphire Pegasus, there's one. The Lightsworn Rare. Another Six Samurai Ultra, that's in your room. And an Age Heated Art. We have all, wait, no, we did get the, yeah, we did. Okay, we've gotten the whole hero and we got the hero flash. We've got everything now. We just need that Super Poly. Next pack we have another Stratos. That is pretty good. Let's just put him over there. Good job, Stratos. Thanks for being here, man. We really appreciate your support. We got Kaja, Kaja on me, one of my thing. Mizuki, cool, Gallus, Mudball Man, Sheen. Glad to be his work share. All these are like shifted up, which is interesting. Double Edge Short Technique, another Six Samurai card. And, ooh, Cyber Dragon, Secret Rare and Crystal Rygeki. That is an Ultra Art Secret Rare. That is a pretty nice pull. Wow, that is a sick-looking card. On to the next one. Where's the Super Poly? Cyber Dragon is a nice pull. That's one of the better ones, I think. So that's pretty awesome. Yeah, I think, was that it's only printing before the ultimate? There might be one more, I'm not sure. Yeah, but I guess GX, DG Survivor, because they're literally the same set. In Nishi, except they're like different rarities on something, System Down, Magical Mallet, Test Tiger, Venomenanga, and Nassashi, we've literally gotten everything in Ultra. Oh, and there it is, the Super Polymerization with the Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuckle. Very nice Secret Rare. This one's probably worth quite a bit at this point. Very good card, infuse that, you're going off the field. It's not bad. Still a few more packs. I don't even know what we want anymore, but that Cyber Dragon, I kind of forgot it was in here, so maybe we'll get a surprise like that in here. We have one, two, three, four. Very cool. We have Card Trooper again, Card Ejector. Diamond, dude, very cool. Overlord Fusion, Divine Nios, Plasma, Lannista, Flame Wingman, Zanji, and another Nios Alias. Okay, DD Crow, that's the first Super DD Crow. That's a pretty nice one as well. Very cool. Is that a Dimensional Fissure in the background? Cause it like banishes from the graveyard, that's interesting. I don't know if that's right, but I've never really noticed that, and it looks a lot like the Dimensional Fissure, so maybe it is, I don't know. These packs are falling over over here.

Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. It has been one of the slowest weeks of FC24, literally in the entire year of this game. It has been so slow. But it's all because we've been waiting and ready for today. Team of the Season starts today, guys. It is finally time for us to chase the blues in all these packs that we have been saving. Team of the Season live cards are today. It's nice to get excited about something. But I know not everybody is the most excited. Will EA bring the hype today, or will they find a way to make this promo kind of mid? I want to talk about that in today's video and really how the market's going to react, how this game is going to react at the beginning of Team of the Season. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up and subscribe if you're new. Now, we do have to talk about a few things that are impacting the game today that happened yesterday. First of all, yesterday's content very, very slow. But that's, honestly, think about it. In the grand scheme of things, to be expected. It's going to be a pretty quiet day right before we have the beginning of Team of the Season. We did have a player of the month for Gerasi. It is a 40,000 coin SBC. If that card interests you, go ahead and get it done. At least it's only one squad. That is nice. And we did have Marquis matchups per usual, which is actually a little more expensive this week. I think it's coming in at 16,000 coins. Usually, Marquis matchups is like 8,000 coins to do. But they do give you a tradable 50,000 coin pack. The biggest thing from yesterday on Thursday was the update to footchamps. We can make rewards, which we are playing for these rewards today, guys, when footchamps start again at a delayed time. But it is worth noting that the live Tots cards that are going to be in packs today, we will be playing footchamps for today in rewards. Rank 5 is 2, 1 of 3 player picks. And then, of course, the same tradable packs that you normally get, 85 double, 50k, 125. At rank 4, you get an untradable. Rank 4 is like, if you're somewhere between 11 wins and 14 wins, try to get that at 14. It's going to be a grind. It's going to be tough because everybody is going to be playing champs. But the 14 win threshold gives you a better player pick, 1 of 4. You get 2 of them. You also get the untradable live Tots 3 players pack. So from the current promo of Tots, you're going to get an untradable 3 players pack. And for ranks 3, 2, and 1, you are getting that live 3 player pack, but it's tradable. So it's basically the exact same rewards as last year. I think when EA first put these out yesterday, they all said untradable. And people are kind of up in arms about that. I would have totally understood the frustration. But to be completely honest, these rewards are almost the exact same as last year, with kind of like this year's twist on them, right? 85.5 being in there, the 87 times 2 for rank 1. So it is a weekend to full send the champs. And again, I say weekend for footchamps, right? But it's actually like almost five days. It feels like we'll be playing footchamps on Tuesday at the beginning of next week because of how long champs is open because it is extended. So that was kind of the biggest news yesterday. There really was not a lot of content. It was those weekend league rewards that were the biggest thing to be talking about. One other small minor detail. EA posted such a random tweet yesterday. I don't know who took over their Twitter, but EA said you can add one brand new hero comment who you want to add to your future dream squad. I don't know if this is just admin took over and they're trying to be fun and do some humorous stuff here. Or if this is actually a little bit of a hint and an Easter egg into maybe them dropping a new hero on this game. I don't know. So we'll have to see. Just remember that. Remember that happened. I responded with don't add a hero adds a lot on. Man, I just miss a lot on this game. I know he just kind of retired and everything and we didn't get that end of an era last year that we really were really wanting to have. But also people say that there's some like things with his rights and everything that he doesn't agree with EA or doesn't want to partner with them. I don't know. But that tweet I thought was very, very interesting yesterday and I just miss using this a lot on this game. What a legend. Probably should be an icon. But regardless, let's talk about today, guys. What's going down today? Well, we finally get to open some of our packs and we're excited because it's team of the season. Live Tots cards are here. All right. It is time to see the team of the season blue flare from our packs. I'm going to check is the car design actually in the game because it's been added to the back end. Whoa. Okay. The Tots champs red design is here, but not the normal Tots design. Okay. I'm ready, man. I am so ready to see Tots cards impacts and Tots cards and rewards and on the market and in teams, man. And today, these are the cards we are getting. We've looked at the leaks. We've talked about them. I want to breeze through them today just so we can catch you guys all up to speed. This is the team of players. Now, not all of them are going to be coming out today because as this is leaked, the guy who leaked this foot scoreboard said that the SBCs and objective players should be included and if they probably are going to do a mini release, right? I doubt we see all these players today, but in total, that is a massive team.  Again, headlined by Modric, Romero, Bruno Fernandez, Doku, Havertz, Kudos. Loftus, Cheek looks pretty solid. Soboslav, Rafinha, Alan St. Maximon. There's going to be some really, really exciting cards today for sure. Now, of course, we have the questions. Okay. We have the questions. How high rated are these cards going to be? Is EA going to juice them up? Are we going to see the first three playstyle plus Tots cards today? The first three playstyle plus cards on the game that EA have released? Not Evo Glitch cards, right? That's all the questions that we have. We don't know. But the fact that these are live and upgrading cards adds a bit of fun today. Let's be honest, right? These cards are getting launched today with their regular boosts, right? Starting off with the promo and then for the games starting today on Friday. After today, the next four domestic league games, it's plus one for winning two games and it's plus one for scoring eight goals in the next four games. So with that being said, it's Tots today, but also with cards that are going to upgrade. So those are two very exciting things happening at one time. And I know not a lot of you guys are super excited. You're like, Nate, you're trying to make a meal of this. It's team of the season, man. And we're all getting excited for today regardless of how this league look. Again, this is a leak and these are predicted stats. We don't know what he is going to do today for stats. Could the stats be very low rated and very mid because these are live cards and they have to give them room to upgrade? Absolutely. They could be. But on the flip side, these cards could maybe some of them have three play style pluses with the potential to upgrade and they could have some good boosts on them already. I'm looking forward to hopefully another Modric. He better not be 93 rated because we have two 93 rated versions of Modric. Give us a 94 or, I mean, if they want to go crazy, a 95 Modric today, right? Bruno Fernandez, a lot of people did the flashback SBC. Give us a higher rated version of him. So I'm holding out a little bit of excitement just because I want to see what EA does with this thing today and how hyped they want to do it. But again, like we said in the past couple of videos with the team being this massive, it looks like there's a lot of fodder in here, right? A lot of lower rated or at least not big name players that are going to be in this promo team, right? Kind of comparable to a community team in this season. In a sense, let's be honest, right? Community team in the season never brought all the big names. That was for when the actual leagues were released like Prem, Bundesliga during those weeks. You got the big name players from each of the leagues. But community tots was always just the fun start the team in the season. I think this is right there with it and the cards are live on top of that. So that's the biggest question today. I think the pack weight and the stats are what we're really going to figure out once these cards drop in the game how hype it's going to be on the day today. And I do believe they're going to be packable, guys. I do. With so many cards in packs, I know I've mentioned it, but just be prepared for it to be kind of like the promos that we've seen recently, like Fantasy FC and Goalazo, right? The lower tier cards were basically fodder price instantly because they were super duper duper packable. But these tots cards, there's going to be hype for them today because some of these players have not gotten special versions in a while. They're going to be boosted up pretty high and it's just team of the season always brings hype. It just always does and now you add the live aspect on top of it. Alright, I'll stop glazing tots cards. But how is EA going to shake this thing up today, guys? What is going to make the live tots promo different? Now, there is not a true official leak, but there is a little bit of a rumor. There's some grumblings. I've seen people talking on Twitter and they're mentioning some things about who might be our SBC player today, right? As mentioned, one of the players or multiple of the players in this listing is going to be the SBC player that drops today. The rumor is, rumor has it that Kai Havertz may be our SBC player today, which is actually kind of funny because we literally just had the Kai Havertz Winter Wild Cards EVO that like everybody just did, which of course is a left back and it's a completely different card position change, whatever, but you can't play with two Kai Havertz in the same team. So if you're going to this full back swap EVO and you just got excited about this Havertz, well, maybe there's another one coming today. Who knows? That could happen. That could not happen. Last year, you saw this Araujo when I first clicked to this page. Last year on Community Tots Friday, this Araujo SBC was dropped and it was crazy. The Barca links on the market went to the moon because everybody did this SBC. The pace, the defending, the physical, the boost this card got and the price of the SBC was unbelievable. This is a card that so many people went and did last year on the first Friday of Community Tots and again with the live aspect of these cards, could this Havertz be hyped today? There's potential for it. So just watch out for that. I mentioned that last year the Barca cards went nuts for the Araujo. Watch the Arsenal cards today, alright? Keep an eye on those men's women's cards. Saka, Mead, maybe a special version of Saliba, this Gabriel Jesus, right? If that is going to be an SBC that is actually dropped, there could be some movement there on those cards in the market. And I have a lot of thoughts on the market today, guys. I wanted to cover that in here in just a little bit. But let's talk about some other things today where EA could spice it up a bit, right? Upgrade packs. Since this is kind of like the week before we get all the other leagues starting for team of the season like the Prem and Bundesliga, whatever order they're going to go in, I think the upgrade packs section today might be a very interesting place to watch as well. Of course, don't forget your daily login, that's going to be something to do every single day still. But you have the 85 pick, the 77 e-figs that are expiring today along with some other SBCs. I think it's very important to see what EA drops in here because I could honestly see them starting to add more of those packs that maybe we wanted to see last week. Those league specific ones, maybe for Prem, for Bundesliga, for LaLiga, excuse me, some of the packs that we've been wanting to see and maybe some of them aren't even added to the code yet and they'll be coming out in this game in the next week. But I kind of see this LiveTots team promo kind of like it's a continuation of Tots warm up in a sense because it's like yay, Tots is here, but this is different with the new LiveTots cards and yes, it's hype, but a lot of us are still looking forward to the best of the best, the real Tots cards. They're going to come out during the specific leagues of Tots. So there could be more upgrade pack SBCs today that maybe you don't even want to open today for the new promo team and you want to save for a little bit later. Speaking of that really fast, what packs am I opening today? A lot of you guys have been asking me this and I'm sure you're thinking the same question, looking at these cards. I'm opening my e-figs packs. I didn't do very, I didn't do any honestly of the 77 pluses. I did all the 82 times 11s that I could. I'm going to open those 82 times 11s today because why not? I think this is the best time honestly to be opening those e-figs packs because you have packs from all the top 5 leagues and more in this promo team right here today. So you might as well open those and just send them because I think you have a better chance of packing a Tots card from one of those today than you would if you saved it during a normal week of team of the season. I also think some of these like 85 times 3 defender, midfielder, attacker packs. I'm going to open these up today as well. I don't think there's too much of a sense in saving those. A lot of my big packs though I think I'm still going to save but I'll kind of make that decision after we see the pack weight, after we see what the prices are on some of the cards on the market and we see what the boosts on the cards are as well if there's any with 3 play style pluses and if there's a good SBC player whether it's Havertz or not. I think how good that player is and how much desire I have to start crafting other SBCs will depend on how many packs I open today. But I'm definitely not opening everything right. I'm going to save some stuff for the future but I will open I don't know maybe 10 to 15 packs today we'll see it depends on the pack weight so I'm putting that kind of up in the air right now we'll just see how it looks when we actually get the content drop today now one thing about SBCs I do want to mention in regarding to packs you go to the exchange section something very unfortunate looks like it's happening today the exchange SBCs are set to expire now there are rumors some of the leakers on Twitter have been conversing back and forth and it's been hinted at that these exchanges will come back and some of the rumors are that there's no new exchanges that are going to be added it's just the same ones the 85 all the way up to 89 exchange will be returning with the same packs which I'm completely fine with these have been unbelievable since they came out during team of the year and I really hope they stay during team of the season because they will be needed and they will be very very necessary and helpful in the crafting of the menus and the content grind so watch out for those today will be paying attention to see where those go and come back and if that is the case if there's any changes what else could shake things up today on this game guys there's one other part of this game they could really cause and wreak some havoc to be honest on the market and it is this section of the game right here evos remember during the past couple of promos like foot birthday and especially during winter wildcards where evos literally crash the market because they were so good but they were tradable evil they costed coins not tradable evos they were evos that costed you coins or fc points that a lot of people spent coins on to get insane cards because the upgrades were really really good and we of course for team of the season we have a specific evil design does that mean there's potential for a crazy evil today there is right now there's nothing leaked which I'm fine with surprises with something insane today and evos EA that could make this promo even more of a dub maybe they won't start off with like the tots evolution card design until we actually have real tots cards out because right now it's like live tots right not the real tots so I don't know but that's just something that could change some things on the game today so hopefully they drop a banger watch out for leagues now last place of the game we haven't talked about yet objectives they will probably drop an objective player today I'm not expecting a new cup because the tots warm up cup is still here for another six days plenty of time to get that done a lot of other objectives are still here as well and not expiring but I do think we'll get some sort of objective player today on this game as well now with everything going on today it's been it's been a crazy ride on the market the past couple of weeks and with everything going on today I think we're going to have a lot of market movement guys a lot of market movement and I think it's going to be in a pretty positive manner as well and that's what I want to talk about today right we have had prices on this game dropping for the I don't know greater part of over a month like if you take a look at some cards of course team of your cards are a great example you go back to the basically a month ago the middle of March beginning of March KDB was 3.6 million last week he was 1.6 million dropping 2 million coins of value in a month during foot birthday go lasso and the panic and setup before team of the season has brought us here and you had a little bit of a bounce back but then prices have kind of come back down again some cards not as low they were but still down a lot from where they have been and today everything that people were panic selling for the switch kind of flips right it's the same sort of scenario that we saw last year during the beginning of team of the season but also earlier on this year during like Black Friday and team of the year where you have the big promo that everybody was looking forward to actually arrive and then you have after that people go and open their packs and then they go back out on the market and they start buying cards guys I do believe people will be opening their packs today some people are going to open everything because they just see toss cards and packs they go straight to the store and they start ripping packs and with that being said that means more coins are going to be injected into people's accounts and with the weekend league being as hyped as is including the toss cards and rewards and with it being after the content dropped starting late compared to normal today I think it's going to be a very very interesting day on the market I actually think there's a really good opportunity to make coins and I think prices are going to rise in a lot of areas I remember last year here's just I know last year is not 100% comparable to this year just because every single years different right but I want to show you last year what happened on this very day we had panic selling prices dropped to the community tots came out Javi last year on the Friday of community team this season I remember buying him for low to mid 500 thousand coin range and that Friday night into Saturday he went up to actually 700,000 coins the graph from last year doesn't show it everything that went on there but there was a huge market rise on that Friday basically today last year heading into tomorrow Saturday of last year there was a crazy market rise this Darwin Nunez went from 300k all the way up to 450,000 coins right before going down after that that's why I'm pretty honestly pretty hung-ho about the market today guys I think there's a lot of player prices that have potential to go up today but I don't think it's going to be everything because at the same time everybody's opening packs are going to go out they're going to play weekend league there's also a lot of cards that people are probably going to say yeah you know what I don't want to use those anymore because we've got new live tots cards that are going to be out and especially if a lot of these cards are packable and affordable and they have decent stats that could mean that some of the cards lower to your cards in this game some of the players that have just been hyped up recently because they're very very good they might be replaced by somebody who's newer more exciting has the potential to upgrade as well and maybe somebody who they just packed untradable right or you just packed untradable after opening a few packs can put into your team go in the champ and start playing with a fun new card but that's not going to happen to everybody today so I really believe that the market today in some certain areas right cards guys and talking about finding the right cards you want to look for something that is rare that is popular and that is meta like we talk about those words all the time when it comes to trading with cards in this game that's why I keep mentioning the team of the years right the team of the years have dropped crazy crazy amounts in value in a 97 rated Holland or maybe a 90 whatever rated who else to have here that's a team of the year the 95 rated Wendy Reynard like how many cards are going to come out today that are going to be not many one if if that right so that's why I would say watch that part of the market today you're really expensive cards or just some of your more meta ones this drug but everybody wants to use this drug but right now in this game he just keeps going up a price he was like 400,000 coins last week he was 360 K last week now he's 480 490 he might go over 500,000 coins later tonight like that's very very possible because so many people want to use him he's very meta he's very good and he's also decently rare right I think the rare meta popular cards can have a really big rebound tonight as people go out open packs get coins and start building out teams to play the weekend league so I would focus on cards from the previous multiple promos that we have had like the golazo promo right some of these cards I picked up as you saw in my bid list I picked up a charlton on bid for 810 this guy literally last week in the panic went down to 810 went back up to 1 million and is now back down to like 850 so I was like let me try to get a bid give myself a little bit of a cheaper price we did boom I'm fine holding on to that card into today whatever today's content brings we'll have to decide on the fly in the twitch stream as everything goes out cheeky plug make sure you follow the twitch will be following the market very closely today the new times cards will be following but also the old out of packs cards but these are the cards that really have the potential to go bananas in price if people start going back out to the market and buying cards because they don't maybe jive with the new stuff that has been dropped 750 for Foden whoa that's really cheap can I go take a look at this real quick 751 is that just sitting 760 okay it got bought that's really really low for Phil Foden yeah he maybe gets a tots card maybe in the Premier League team this season but that's not going to be until next week if people want to use Phil Foden today they got to use this version of him so maybe Kai Havertz impacts his price a bit if he's a cam you know we'll have to see but that's just that's the type of stuff we're thinking about today guys with this market when to buy is the next question right I bought some stuff yesterday around the content drop today if you don't want to risk it you could wait until the content drop today see what the pack weight is see what these cards look like with the live team and season team open your packs and then in that first 30 minutes to an hour after the content drop kind of kind of just see what all is out there and then from there decide okay if there's a really insane SBC for let's say Havertz and Premier League strikers if he's a striker maybe are dropping because that SBC is so good then you wouldn't want to buy a guy like this Burbotov or some other Premier League strikers because people would be selling those to go get the new Havertz right that's the kind of stuff we'll be thinking through after the content drop today but start doing a little bit of research if there's somebody you want for your team that fits the criteria of rare popular and meta even if it's a bit of a cheaper card if it's rare like this Casamiro DK and I sold him at 250, 260 and right now he's 265 like some of these cards are really rare and they have great fluctuations that is a perfect candidate even if they're not that expensive a perfect candidate to be trading with today on this game but I would try to buy them guys either before content if you want to risk it or wait until that first hour after content because once we get close to the start of weekend league which again is two hours after the content drop you're going to start to see prices go up because people are going to start they're going to open their packs they're going to do an SBC do a thing or two on the game and then they're going to be like okay I want to go play weekend league and they're going to have to wait to play weekend league so they'll buy their cards wait till weekend league starts and then once that weekend league opens up it's a mad dash boom to get games in to start playing because everybody wants to get those rewards for the team of the season cards didn't impact it's crazy guys every single year this happens past three four years it's all the same since they started putting these tats red picks in here right especially last year and now this year with the good design right it's a mad dash to the weekend league to get that progress and to get those wins to try to get the rewards so that's why I really think today could be a good fun interesting day for the market and I think we can make some coins but also I want you guys to be able to buy cards in the right timing right zones and movements inside of the market because if there's somebody that you want to pick up for your team I want you to get a good price for them and not have to worry about that price at least too much right so again me a ham rare popular meta type of card r9 croif those sorts of guys in this game I would fit them in that as well if you know even golden bop a I think golden bop a last year had some pretty good fluctuations on the market how much is croif right now croif is 800k okay golden bop a was like 550,000 coins last week and he's up to like 650 now if he were to go back down like 600,000 coins at some point it'd be a good buy today as well because people are just going to get on the game buy and bop a go play champs so I think today's going to be a really good day for the market now let's talk about these tats cards because as much hype as there's going to be for cards that people want to buy for their teams from older promos there's going to be a lot of hype for these players as well because they're brand new to the game everybody knows tats cards fun to use juiced and stats right we'll see how it pans out of course today but watch these cards today as well they might be their lowest in the first hour or two it really kind of depends on the lightning rounds that EA drop it really does guys and there are some crazy packs that are in the code there's like a three guaranteed live tats pack with an 8475 inside of it a live tats player pick one of three I don't think we're going to see all of those packs in the store today the packs that we have to look out for are the lightning round ones that give out tradable supply because recently EA's been going crazy look at all these lightning round packs that are we have nothing in packs right now and look at all these packs that are here in the store I got to open my 10 coin pack almost forgot these technically aren't lightning round packs because those have already expired but they've been running like the 8410 lightning rounds the 857 like what what are they doing with just a team of the week best of impacts right now that they need to put out all these crazy packs in the store like who's opening some of this stuff right now I know that some of them give like old promo cards and stuff but today there's going to be way more hype for the store because people will be trying their best to pack team of the season live players from these store packs and if there's a lot of tradable supply from saved up packs like rivals rewards footchamps rewards packs that people have been saving in the past week and a half two weeks in this game because they know tats is coming you know that's going to bring some supply to the market early on last year there was some dips in the first hour or two and then some of the brand new tats cards went up in that same kind of fluctuation in time frame as the out of packs cards did because people wanted to go and try the new players in a week and I actually think I remember Kingsley come on I'm definitely I'm sure it doesn't show on a footband graph but like this Kingsley come on tats card last year was a yeah he so he shows 725 K on that Friday I 100% remember that this Kingsley come on was 500 K or below in the first hour last year and I bought one I think I bought it for like 490 and sold it for 570 30 or 40 minutes later and ended up going to 700,000 coins because people wanted to try out the brand new cards but again stick to the rare stick to the meta and stick to the popular when it comes to those cards so we're going to be watching the market very close to today gameplay for me will be kind of second tier especially in the first couple of hours same for you guys right nobody's going to be playing footchamps we have to be we have to wait until it actually opens up so it really depends on the lightning rounds and the pack weight for that part of the market today last thing I want to talk about is fodder fodder got destroyed yesterday did you guys notice division rivals rewards people must not be saving too many their packs because 85s went all the way down to 2.7 K they rebounded really quickly afterwards but I could see 85s going back down to this really low price today if we don't get anything crazy in terms of SBC's and when I mean crazy it's got to be some sort of upgrade pack that is repeatable that requires that specific rating because there's going to be a lot of supply today it's got to be something crazy to move fodder because it is Tots Friday and it's going to be a lot of lightning rounds again based on how we have been running lightning rounds recently they've been going allowed in his team this season so you know they're going to be going all out we got all those untradable packs that we just mentioned coming out this weekend as well fodder doesn't look like a great investment to me at the moment I think maybe fodder would be looked at a little bit later on maybe at the end of the week maybe during the weekend depending on what's going to come out and what leaks we have for SBC's I know a lot of people are wanting to invest in Team of the Weeks and they are up a bit they're 20,000 coins a piece so maybe there's something that like leakers know that we don't but I don't think I'm going to invest in fodder today guys just because I know a lot of people are going to be opening packs but for me it would have to be a fodder for content and if it was going to be a fodder investment it would probably be man it would have to be something maybe a little higher rated because maybe people have been waiting to do Ronaldinho, Mia Ham some of these bigger icon SBC's maybe it's even like maybe it's Petr Chek, Zambrata or Cantina or Socrates they've been waiting to do or Ribri right because they've been saving packs so maybe the fact that people are going to start opening packs today could make some fodder move and if that's going to be your kind of process I would look at 91 rated specifically some of the out-of-packs cards because the golds will go up as well but the out-of-packs ones maybe go up a little bit more potentially although they have not been that rare recently and the golds have been going a bit higher than the special card which is really weird. I know some people have been investing in some of the inforums for the best of like Ter Stegen and Diani that are going out of packs those could be a decent play as well as some of the cheapest 90 rated cards but also an option but that's just not where I would really want to put my coins today I could see that part of the market going up but I think I'd rather mess around with stuff that is kind of the special cards and that sort of thing before investing in fodder because it could get a little bit mudded especially on the low tier it could get mudded even more so I think that's a good breakdown of what is going on today guys I'm excited to start opening packs I'm excited to pack team this easy man like honestly this is one of the most exciting times of the year and feels like this excitement of the live tots team feels like maybe a false start of excitement like we want to get excited but this past week has been so just mid and everything in this game has been just kind of super average for a while like after team of the year it's just been super average I'm just hoping that EA does something today to revive this thing a little bit right they've made the right steps hopefully these cards have juice ratings today I don't know what else that's their job to get us excited today I hope that they do that so we'll be on stream today we covering it all as team of the season drops in FC 24 if you're excited for it drop a thumbs up on the video comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you knew it's been native account I will see you guys in the stream today peace out


Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything one piece. Today we have a review of chapter 947, Queen's Gamble. And this week we have a nice continuation of the action that had sparked in the Prisoner Mine with quite a shocking outcome really. After all the Harkie hype that was built up last chapter, our expectations were very subverted. And not a lot really came from the brief Luffy versus Big Mom stuff. He failed his first attempt and then spent the rest of the chapter running away. Which was kind of odd actually because the whole idea of Queen's plan in this chapter is that Big Mom will come running back around the mine chasing Luffy. But when she came back around, Luffy was kind of nowhere to be seen.  But I find it really weird that the whole confrontation between Queen and Big Mom happened seemingly without Luffy there. I mean, she was chasing him, right? So after being knocked out, which we will talk about more in a bit, would Queen not have then been able to confront Luffy who was assumedly right there? And if he isn't right there, then who was Big Mom chasing? Really is very clunkily put together. And as much as I love the reveal of Luffy about to kick into action at the end, I really don't know about how we got there. I just wish we had something, even a small thing, like a one panel reaction shot of Luffy seeing Queen's attack on Big Mom, or maybe even a shot of him hiding afterwards. Something that ties this sequence of events together rather than Big Mom is chasing Luffy. Now Luffy is gone and now Luffy is back again. But hey, with that said, I love the huge panel of Queen engaging in his Baracchio bomber attack. It's just such an unexpected maneuver for a dinosaur to be performing. And it has a nice touch of spectacle as well as a huge wallop of impact on the page. Not only that, but this will probably go a long way towards consoling those who were concerned that Queen got dealt with rather easily by Big Mom. But on the other hand, I feel like this chapter is only going to further infuriate those who already felt like Big Mom is quote unquote underpowered and a joke-yong-go. And look to be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the idea of her getting knocked out. Because yes, I get that Queen is a calamity and yes, it was a brilliantly calculated strategy, but Big Mom has always been sold to us as this impenetrable force. I mean, not literally, of course, clearly because of all the children she's pumped out. But you know what I mean, right?  And she definitely wasn't in that sort of state here. So actually being able to bring her down doesn't completely sit right with me.   It's just that Big Mom has been portrayed as almost entirely invulnerable in the past in a similar vein to Kaido, really. And this does make her seem like she's on a slightly lesser playing field as a result. Of course, this may very well be because she does seem to be significantly weaker in her amnesia-ridden form, which was hinted at by Queen in the chapter when Big Mom regained her memories and he said that her aura was completely different whilst clearly, you know, shitting himself. So there's that, but I guess it is what it is and we'll just have to see where Oda takes us from here. But of course, we also can't ignore the fact that our fun and friendly Big Mom may indeed be gone now as her memories did begin to return to her after being struck in the head by Queen. Now, I don't want to take this as a solid tone of events just yet because it's entirely possible that this is just a brief flash of memory and that when Big Mom wakes up, she'll still be in her amnesiac state. However, what this does put an end to other theories that Pudding tampered with her memories whilst unconscious because if that were the case, then these memories wouldn't even be within her to access in the first place. But in the event that she does make a full recovery, this could lead to some pretty crazy stuff happening on Onigashima because they don't see Kaido and Big Mom sitting down for a civil discussion and it may even result in the long-awaited Big Mom versus Kaido clash. Or maybe, just maybe, Voda will double down on exactly how screwed we all are by having them form an alliance of sorts and our own allied forces will have to properly face down two of the four emperors. I do find that to be a much less likely scenario, but if you were going for maximum despair to end a second act, that would certainly be one way of achieving it. In any case, as much as I'm not entirely sure about how we got to this point, I can't deny that I'm very intrigued to see how things progress from here. The whole Big Mom plot has taken a turn that I definitely didn't even come close to predicting and it might be for the best that she's taken out of the picture for a bit. Even if I was really enjoying Olin. Other than that, though, this chapter really does only focus on Luffy and Harky. There was confirmation that Luffy had indeed invoked the technique that Rayleigh had used at the Human Auction House as many of us had picked up on, but there was also a nice little technical explanation as to how it happened. And so the whole invisible armor thing wasn't a new idea, but using Harky to destroy something from within is a pretty big game changer, though. In any theory, you could use that to break through most substances, maybe not so much C stone if you're a devil fruit user. But hey, as long as your will is powerful enough, why not become capable of destroying everything in your path? That is more or less it, with the great stepping into action shot of Luffy right at the end there. And just on that, I know that Big Mom was a priority, but Queen leaving the prison in mind where the skeleton crew was one hell of a bad decision. And now it seems like Luffy and the others won't have any trouble escaping whatsoever, which is great because I'm really keen to shift these characters out of this area. Mono is so vast and varied that we really don't need to be confining everyone to this small portion anymore. And I'm particularly keen to see where Kid goes from here. In my head, he has one of two parts. Either he goes on a rampage after what has happened to Killer and let's face it probably ends up being beaten once again. Or he comes out of this with a somewhat level head and joins the Alliance to seek revenge on Kaido in a much more strategic manner. Look, either way, bring it on. Let's just get out of the prison of mine. But that pretty much does it for chapter 947.
