I was thinking a little about Fish-Man Island and how some fans didn't really like the reveal that Hody hated humans despite them having done nothing to him. However, if you think about it, Arlong...

Kaido's laugh in Japanese is ウォロロロ, when the O kana (オ) is small after the U kana that typically denotes a "Wo" sound. So the wordplay is still there, but not formatted in quite the same manner.

Pretty nice chapter. It being focused entirely on one scene was very refreshing.

Nice to get confirmation that Luffy was indeed using advanced Haki (seems more like the internal destruction type...

Aw yeah, no better excuse to reread the series again. I hope this movie is where they finally adapt the Sannoh game.

It's pretty clear that Saeki can't draw Luffy and Usopp, the two of them were barely in the chapter and were always obscured.

Pretty awesome chapter. A natural culmination of plotlines that have been built up for almost 9 years...unleashed through a powerful punch and the most notable time Luffy's declared his dream. As...

I greatly enjoyed Soul. The "soul world" and how it works is quite a bit more complex than any alternate world that Pixar's done before, and many of its elements raise questions that aren't super...

Best Moment of the Year: "He laughed"
Worst Moment of the Year: Kanjuro getting offscreened
Best New Character of the Year: Ulti
Worst New Character of the Year: Other than Yamato and the four...

I had wanted Sasaki to be an ankylosaurus, but I'll accept triceratops especially since Black Maria and Who's Who aren't dinosaurs.

I wonder what led Oda to choose the Rosamygale for Maria, from...

I'm going with Harry on this one, he got in a ton of shots on Luke and the Star Wars franchise while a lot of Luke's raps were just bragging about himself. Such a missed opportunity considering the...

Can't really say I feel sorry for Apoo. He decides to serve Kaido of his own free will and sell out others he meets to be pressed into service, only to get used as a pawn on a whim by Queen and...

I was waiting for the point when the episodes would have the same number as the chapters they're adapting, but looks like I missed it by a few weeks. Now to wait for the number of episodes to...

Turns out that techniques that work against fire attacks are slightly less effective against a 1 ton mace. And that it's a little harder to hit someone when A) they're not caught off-guard and B)...

I was told by multiple people that the events were clearly pointing toward an easy victory by the Scabbards over Kaido. What on earth happened? It is quite a twist from Oda to see this...

No break next week

Solid chapter overall, but nothing particularly stood out.

Not really sure what to make of the Usopp/Nami scene. It played out like some sort of climactic moment in a stage of the plot that...

Alex Trebek died today

I'm glad he could be at peace, but damn, this sucks. The man was one of a kind.

This probably won't happen, but I'd quite like to see one of the Tobiroppo (probably Who's Who if anyone) be a really advanced Gifter. It would at least give some credence that Gifters can elevate to...

Law did more to Doflamingo than the Scabbards have done to Kaido so far. As far as I know Kaido's insides haven't been turned into mush. Though I guess it's not much of an argument for someone who...

In response to all the power level arguing that's been going on, I want to point out that Kaido actually noted in this chapter that the Scabbards' abilities are baffling. Very much worth keeping in...

I can't believe it's been 5 years since I made an account here. 5 years! Though admittedly, everything past 2018 has been a blur to me. The Whole Cake chapter threads hold a...special place in my...

Interesting then that he fought and defeated Urouge during one of Big Mom's storms.

Fair point. Right now I feel like Part 3 will end with a Beasts Pirates/Big Mom victory, and Part 4 will have war in the Flower Capital, with Luffy flying on Momonosuke to the top of Mt. Fuji to...

No battle feat. Usopp and Nami is going to be decided by physical strength. Given that Page One and Ulti are the upstart kids of the Tobiroppo, it seems fitting for them to take on Usopp and Nami...

Oda why you no name Apoo's fruittt

I was pretty interested in how the Sulong battle would play out. It's been hinted at for nearly 200 chapters, so obviously it would have been a waste to not be...

While I wouldn't guarantee some earth-shattering event to happen we have had a recent history of each 00 chapter having something pretty major.

Chapter 700 set Dressrosa in motion
Chapter 800 had...

Not sure if anyone else brought it up when Kanjuro was revealed to be the traitor, but I was re-reading mid-Dressrosa and came across this scene that I had forgotten about. Holy crap, Kanjuro was...

Tough to make out the furigana but I'm pretty sure the first and third characters are the same, which would make it Kazekage.

This chapter reminded me that I should give Thriller Bark another reread. Out of all the major arcs it's probably the one I'm least familiar with. The potential for a Straw Hat tag-team against King...

It's hilarious remembering that the Final 2 in that tournament were Sanji and Carrot.
