Volume 87 Predictions/Discussion

[FelRes]

And they actually do communicate with Oda on this stuff these days, so if any of them show up on the new cover, they'll look similar to here.

Wait, so that means purple Cracker is canon? Disgusting.

[Omni]

All I see in that picture is Big Mom’s dong face. Hopefully the colors looks well done.

[.access timeco.]

What about now?

[Omni]

Hey that’s way better! Thanks! Love the colors.

i dont understand why oda has this thing with pink

They're a candy/food and fairy tale-themed crew, so a signature color like pink makes sense. Not unlike the idea of having all of the Blackbeard Pirates wear a bit of black whenever we see their post-timeskip designs.

Now I see that Capote actually has a parfait as a hat. I thought it was a bowl of fruits at first.

[MarcelloF]

Had we already seen Katakuri in color before this? I feel like I already knew he had red hair.

Nope. He has not shown up in any color spreads or volume covers.

Wait, so that means purple Cracker is canon? Disgusting.

Don't agree with you, but it could have been worse:

Pink hair and pink tattoo. I like it. I'm still holding out hope that there's a little more pink or purple in his design.

[Skadi]

Katakuri with that hair color and overall aesthetic makes me remember Zebra from Toriko

Also, I absolutely ADORE Cracker´s anime colors

[Crossword]

Katakuri's hair and eyes are probably that magenta color to match the flower. The rest of his color scheme seems pretty normal and close to what everyone figured it would be.

Oven's the one who's throwing me for a loop. Not simply the fact that he's orange, since Kuma set a precedent with that originally, but that his hair seems to be multicolored gradient!

[Skadi]

Same hair color. Same scar. Tough guy design overall. Oda and Shimabu are friends. I really think Katakuri´s design is an homage of sorts to Zebra.

Now that we have an only villains cover, will people start matching them up against the Strawhats? I mean, only battle heavy arcs have these kind of covers, right? (obvious sarcasm)

[zeltrax225]

Even on volume covers Smoothie is overshadowed by others,
And Katakuri colors are impressive, i was hoping for a more Guts like color scheme but this will do.
Other than that, this cover feels pretty predictable but at least it looks nice.

[Count Mario]

This is a nice surprise.I like the colors on everybody.

[BroBro]

kindof messy but i love it. don't like Compote's gatorade hair.


Poor Cracker didn't get the chance to have a decent volume screentime.

Title of Volume " Not Sweet "

There is something in the disposition of the characters that is annoying me around that area where Zeus face is (maybe if there was someone else there... maybe Amande), but I will overlook that since this is cover is giving me everything I wanted (colored hatless Linlin - just love her with that pirate bandana -, BMP colors, BMP exclusive cover).

Just sad Smoothie is not in the front (and Cracker didn't make it). I get she is not playing a major role, but neither is Oven and she is one of the strongest there. And it makes me worry about Oda planning any future redemption for her if he didn't even bother to place her along with the major members despite being one of the Sweet Commanders.
