Nope. He just dropped dead without any visible changes besides his eyes being completely white in a cartoon-y death fashion. You're probably confused because his natural hair color is black and white like mixed ice cream flavors.

Chapter comparisons! Still brought to you by three sources. Not that many major differences this week, really.
What does vix use when luffy says "thats just you in MS, the phrasing of that always seemed incomplete. @BellisarioFaith:
Chapter comparisons! Still brought to you by three sources. Not that many major differences this week, really.
- MS notes that Pekoms nearly met his doom through "a certain plot that he was a part of", making it sound like he was involved in conspiring in said plot. Jaimini's could go either way, saying he was "caught up in a scheme". VIZ definitely makes it sound like he wasn't involved on purpose at all, saying "There was a conspiratorial plot that nearly succeeded in having him fed to the sharks."
- It's minor, but while the scanlations used "a gunshot" (singular), the official translation uses "gunshots" (plural). Could Bobbin have been shot more than once?
- MS has the barmaids asking the Vinsmokes if they're human, but in the other two translations, they ask if they're monsters. Also, in both scanlations, Niji refers to Nami like some kind of object (calling her "it" in Mangastream and "that" in Jaimini's Box), but just says about her in VIZ, "Maybe we can negotiate a trade tomorrow."
- More of a darkly funny side note: when the brothers are toasting to Sanji, all three versions have them first call him a failure. For the second comment, MS uses "dud", Jaimini's uses "good-for-nothing", and VIZ uses…"usefully useless brother". XD
- MS has Mont D'or say over the radio to the soldiers not to let the Vinsmokes contact anyone (as in, do it themselves). The other two versions both have him instead instructing not to let anyone else contact them.
- Jaimini's Box notes that, when Sanji calls his meal a "failure", he uses the same term his brothers used to call him the same thing. VIZ does not include the "failure" comment at all, just saying "I'm sure it's terrible."
- When Sanji's remembering the crew, after Luffy calls out to him for food, the second bubble in that panel in MS ("Hurry up and cook us something!") and VIZ ("Get cooking already!") are ambiguous as to whether it's also Luffy saying it cheerfully, or Zoro saying it irritably. Jaimini's makes it very clear it's Zoro talking. ("Hurry up and make it already! Bastard.")

can't get any more obvious
I don't see how this kind of twist would be a problem. Them acting dumb is enough of a hint to make the twist valid and not out of nowhere. We know BM is going to betray, Capone/Pudding are scheming, so the third batreyal, the Vinsmoke's ones, must be the twist Oda is trying to hide behind the other two. Fooling homies is also not some aizen level of deception. It's common sense, really.
Wow it looks like they are being watched. Vinsmokes might be just playing along.
@Count:
Sorry, I wasn't trying to say "This is my idea, how dare people try to claim it as their own". I've seen other people say it plenty of times, including Greg. I was just remarking on the irony of how it seems to be a somewhat popular idea now compared to before when there's arguably more debunking evidence in the present context. It's a bit funny to me lol.See, I've thought of everything you've said in regards to why the Vinsmokes feel so safe. It's just that in the past several chapters, we see the Vinsmokes declaring that Big Mom will protect them in situations where they're alone (wither neither Linlin nor Sanji around) where they have no reason to lie. Oda seems to be portraying them as being that naively optimistic or is ignoring about the established dynamics in his worldbuilding for the sake of the plot.

It's just that if it does come true, then Oda did a really sloppy job with those scenes. And if it turns out that they somehow knew the Homies were listening, then that's almost Aizen levels of convoluted all according to keikaku of promoting shock value without sensible writing/build-up.
It's equaly sloppy if Judge's supposed plan is best he could think of. The plan only sounds good if you disregard Germa's main goal and current geopolitical situation. Unless WG fucked them over in some kind of deal, of which there isn't any indication. From how things are looking now, Germa seems to be losing a lot more than it's gaining with this deal. But again, we might not know everything that's going on. The plan might be plausible is they knew WG was going to get rid of them anyway, but aren't they more useful to WG as allies than as enemies? Plus we have the fact that they changed the bounty poster and let them cross Red Line, again. Of course, I'm assuming WG posts guards all over Red Line, but that might not necessarily be the case. But that would also be sloppy from Oda's side.
If they were talking out of their asses in the case someone was listening in, it's hardly comparable to what Aizen-sama is capable of. Damn, I miss him. Anyway, BM's intelligence gathering has been emphasized from the start of this arc. Perhaps a certain level of caution isn't a bad idea while traversing her inner territory.
Really can't wait for this knot to start unraveling.

Is the site acting up again or what?
At this point, I agree with you. I'm back on the Germa-WG conspiracy train again. It's the better option logically and narratively. And I expect the Vinsmokes to still gets comeuppance somehow despite Sanji wanting to save them, so this is the only way I can see it happening unless they suddenly decide to wing it when the wedding goes to hell.

Damn, check out all those typos. I always make more mistakes while typing on work laptop.
But if it's really true, than this thing is huge. Like HUGE. In that case WG is already moving, which means they might be discussing upcoming war at Reverie. This Reverie has to be big, otherwise, what's the point. It's not like we're ever going to see another one. And if it is about war, it won't be just the Marines this time, as was the case with WB. They're gonna be mobilizing each kingdom, country or town they have under them. But I wonder what would be the justification. There has to be something that makes leaders receptive of the idea. Kinda got sidetracked there, though…
Man, even if I dislike how Oda handles the arcs, lately, I can't deny how well it's all weaved in together in relation to the big picture in the world. Even if you think some of the plot developments suck, there's still plenty of stuff going on to make you guess what's going to happen and how it will all affect future plots.
In any case, there's still a lot of questions about Germa. Like that comic, which is still left unadressed. I feel like it, and other things we don't know about Germa are key to the question whether Germa is still with WG.

That's all very interesting. It would certainly get me more invested in the Gorosei and Akainu being the Fleet Admiral now aside from Final War speculation. All we ever hear about their actions are vague rumors about them planning for something big. It's about time we actually start seeing that payoff, or else they make for pretty boring background antagonists. There has to be something more to the meeting besides a bunch of kingdoms droning back and forth about how cool the Straw Hats are, the Shichibukai system being abolished, Poseidon's identity potentially being outed, and seeing the kingdoms react to Kaido's defeat and Wano Country opening up its borders (I firmly believe the Reverie's scenes will take place before and after Wano Country). That's all pretty big stuff. But pretty predictable stuff as well. There needs to be one or two more elements of classic Oda plot-twist spice like Kaido's introduction scene to make the Reverie really feel meaningful.

Pretty much. But that doesn't make the wait for seeing interesting plot lines getting progress while the current events are a turn off anymore bearable.

Same. Their relationship is way too open-ended and almost contradictory. Not to mention Sora's name.
I am sure that Judge, once defeated will start to talk about why he wants North Blue, why is he betraying the government and some secret, but when he is about to disclose it, get shot in the back:
"you started talking too much…partner"

You misspelled "father".

My bad, I thought I would support a bit of Bege-Judge being buddies, but not really.
@Tamiel:

It's just that Bege betraying Judge is so lackluster and doesn't add anything besides making Judge look like a fool since we've never see Judge and Bege interact or even seem to know each other. Having Ichiji (and maybe his brothers) do it actually adds to the family themes of the arc a lot.

If Judge is planning to backstab Big Mom, why go to all these lengths to get Sanji?
If Judge is planning to backstab Big Mom, why go to all these lengths to get Sanji?
So that the wedding's a good opportunity where Big Mom is perhaps the most vulnerable either tangibly or mentally? Sanji would just be an expendable tool in comparison to Judge risking one of his "precious" children.
I started thinking Judge might be dethroned from that chapter where he was shown in front of his portrait living off old glory. In the same chapter we have Ichiji and Niji returning from yet another mission, being celebrated as heroes of now. That was a nice contrast, even if Oda wasn't trying to portray one.
Plus it would be fitting if Judge ended up getting betrayed by his own children who he created not to have empathy.
But the problem I see here is too many possible betrayals in this arc, one upping each other in quick succession. We have 1)BM being betrayed by part of her crew, 2)betraying Judge who is 3)betraying WG or pretending to betray WG while 4)actually betraying BM, 5)but also being betrayed by his son(s).
Talk about a cluster fuck. There's no way Oda can pull all these off in a satisfying way. We know 1) and 2) are happening. I can't really see both 4) and 5) happening. That would be a little too much. So I'd say either 3) and 5) or just 4).

Same. But it wasn't really the painting that got me thinking that (although that is a pretty nice visual metaphor you got from that scene). But more regarding how Judge sort of just walks into the scene casually while Ichiji and Niji get this epic warzone, death, and cheering buildup. It's also the first time we see the "wall" too. Oda typically likes to give his antagonists memorable entrances, but Judge's is a bit lukewarm.
Judge being betrayed can sort of work if it's saved for when he's already almost down for the count (probably right before Sanji begins his fight with a Vinsmoke as a catharsis for his character arc), rather than these betrayals happening literally right after another in the wedding. Judge betraying the World Government won't have immediate ramifications, only maybe at the Reverie. That's already been known for a long time too. If he's pretending to betray the World Government, then it gets fused with Big Mom being betrayed by Bege (I doubt Oda is going to have both of those parties coincidentally try to betray Linlin at the same time independently, as hilarious as that would be). So it can sort of work out neater than how you put it.
@Count:

Especially during break weeks. :sad:
@Count:

But the children are part of the plot so they definitely are not secure. And failure means their demise anyway so how does Sanji presence(a wild card) bring anything to the table?
Now that I think about it, assuming Pudding is in cahoots with Bege and brothers are gonna betray Judge (which is also likely linked to Bege), then Sanji rescuing his father, and Nami saving Big Mom (with the reason being "because Lola would want this") would be the most embarrassing thing in their lives and something I could easily see Oda doing. I think I'm kinda in Ichiji-and-Pudding-are-traitors-and-Judge-is-just-delusional-idiot camp.
Since everyone apparently hates everyone, they should just point guns at each other during the wedding.
While I'm not opposed to the idea of Judge working for the World Government, what we know so far is that his main goal seems to be conquering the entire North Blue and reclaiming the glory days of the Germa Kingdom. He's never been shown to be particularly keen on working with the World Government, given his illegal research on DNA decades ago and this plan itself. It's definitely advantageous now for him to be allied with the World Government, given their power, but no way in hell would they let him conquer an entire fifth of the world. It has its advantages and disadvantages for Judge, and he may just be able to overcome those disadvantages with Big Mom's power. A Yonko is pretty much the only thing that can fight on par with the WG's top brass, and her presence would be very troublesome, because not only would it be extremely difficult for them to move against her, they would have to divert their top brass to the North Blue, which would compromise their still-fledgling presence in the New World and allow other Yonko to make moves. It's a no-win situation for the World Government, with banning the Vinsmokes from Reverie being pretty much the only thing they could do. And Judge is perfectly willing to give that right up. So for him to be actually allied with the World Government anyways doesn't make much sense to me.
Now, I'd legitimately be surprised if Judge expected this transaction to go smoothly and didn't have some kind of plan of his own, beyond holding Pudding hostage. The fact that they haven't been shown doing much of anything after the focus on their reunion with Sanji yesterday seems telling, and in a good way. Let's not rush to conclusions about Judge's character and plans based on the story which still very much lacks a resolution…it's fine to have expectations and be mindful about the various implications of possible plot developments, but many times I've developed expectations of what's going to happen next in an arc and proceeded to get blown away by things that I never saw coming, mostly in good ways.

Well Germa 66 is a mercenary organization before all else. I wouldn't say it's impossible WG promised them a control over North Blue in exchange for their help. Or something else, that gives Judge an advantage of some kind.
Big Mom can't move her forces to North Blue freely, because it would compromise her position in NW. Even if she did, WG doesn't need to move all the top brass there, because North Blue kingdoms likely have their own forces. Forces which didn't bother Germa so far, because they were under the same roof organization.
I can see why Judge would decide to break off WG if he thinks they'd never relinquish control over part of their territory. But at the same time, I don't see why he believes that BM can help him do that.

Possibly, but Big Mom does have droves of forces, and even the weaker ones have been shown to be able to massacre people on their own. Especially since the North Blue is weaker than the Grand Line. So Big Mom could probably maintain powerful forces in both North Blue and the New World.
Pfff this arc is making me despise Sanji. He's an unsufferable crybaby. I thought he was a man among men, a true warrior of the sea with principles and a great personality but first I couldn't give a damn about his predicament because of his attitude and now I'm just "man, even Ussop had more nerve than this whiner".
Again, this is just my opinion so I hope nobody gets offended by this.

Whatever else you might feel, he does still have his principles. He can't leave people in the lurch, and that principle is motivating him to want to help a family he despises 4/5 of. To him it's the same as leaving someone to starve.
That's how I see it anyway.

If you were in his position, what would you do? Would you just leave and let this man get killed?
It would be strange that Judge betrays Big Mum too. How do you explain Reiju behaviour when Sanji told him Pudding plan to kill all the Vinsmoke then ?

When she says her father seems to be taking the situation too lightly? Perhaps she isn't aware of the plan at all. Judge might have contained the information to himself, in case something like this happens. There's always a possibility of betrayal and enemy interrogation.
It would also remove a possible plot convenience to a point. What if Pudding decided to thoroughly check Reiju's memories? Of couse, she seemed content not going farther than couple of hours. Maybe it would just be time consuming. Still, seems like a waste of a great opportunity.
I agree it's all a little shakey and lacking finesse, but it goes for both possibilities.

The WG already has seen through all this and gave Usoppe a higher bounty than Sanji. :ninja:
IMO Judge still thinks that BM takes him and Germa under her wings. At least by judging (pun!) from the stuff he said.
They are in her territory. An assault wouldn't be smart at the Moment.
It would be strange that Judge betrays Big Mum too. How do you explain Reiju behaviour when Sanji told him Pudding plan to kill all the Vinsmoke then ?
Good point, to that I say: Reiju cannot disobey Judge's orders. So, he told her and said do not tell anyone about this.
So, going back to infirmary then, her telling Sanji her father is taking it too lightly, could also imply that there is a betrayal, but Judge thought Big Mom was actually sticking to the plan.
It would be strange that Judge betrays Big Mum too. How do you explain Reiju behaviour when Sanji told him Pudding plan to kill all the Vinsmoke then ?
It would still be shocking to find out something so extreme like that is set up to happen
How many sweet commanders have been still unshown to us?
At a time in the past there were supposedly 4. One of them (Cracker) has been dealt with already. The second one (Smoothie) even if presented has sadly received a sideline plot treatment so far. Truth be told I'm craving to see her wringing the 'juices' out of any adversary so to understand her full power.
That being said, who are the remaining two commanders?
On one hand there is the commander fell by Urogue the Monk though that much info is not sufficient enough to provide us with insight of his or her whereabouts nor power. On the other hand the last sweet commander could be one of the elder sons if not the eldest (Peros-pero) though I'm only gambling on an educated guess there. In any case it feels to me as if we are missing a vital piece of this jigsaw puzzle.
There are shadows on the move already. Shadows knitting the conspiracy agains BM and even considering them in the mix the number of the players involved in the arc appears to somehow be off for a long shot; particularly if Luffy's intention to crash, punch and spoil Mama's tea party will yield a veritable outrage. Otherwise unless we are speaking guerrilla tactics or plot convenience '' cough'' tametebako's kaboom! I can't see the strawhats interfering without paying the ''price'' for their intervention.
My thought is that by the end of this arc Luffy might lose some lifespan to BM.Perhaps from 10 to 30 years. Adding up to the ten years he gave away to cure Magellan's poison. If indeed that development ends up happening I somehow see Luffy either dying by the end of OP or giving himself up to the Marines to be executed again as the second generation of the PK.

Do you guys think that Sengoku will be important in the future? I know he's one of the old-timers along with Rayleigh and Garp who've taken a step back from being involved in world affairs, but I feel like of the old-timers in One Piece he's had the least presence. For this exact reason, I liked that he was in Rosinante's backstory. But I was wondering if you think he'll do anything in the future? I assume there will be some kind of family/closure moment between Luffy and Garp, and I think Rayleigh will probably not do anything aside from maybe reacting to news about Luffy, but I'm not sure about Sengoku.
I'd say they come back when the Roger pirates assemble again.
There is a chapter tomorrow right?

I'd say his overall lack of presence will be the intended goal here. His era is over, he's a relic of the past, and now it's Sakazuki's time. The stuff with Rosinante was a nice retired man's reflection. He will probably only get a spotlight again during the final war.
Though it should be pointed out that after the timeskip so far, he's had more screentime than Sakazuki and Kizaru combined!
Hm totally missed it, too bad, was looking forward to this one. Thank you for the info
Were the 3 silhouettes that beat Bobbin been discussed already? I really thought those are (from-left-to-right) Capone, Urouge, and Bonney… but could be Shiryu, Vasco Shot, and Van Auger. Really love the idea that the Blackbeard pirates could be involved in the conspiracy though.

The most likely consensus seems to be Capone, Vito, and Gotti.

But Capone would likely to be at the center surrounded by Vito and Gotti if that's the case, but we got the big guy in the middle here.

Since when has Oda cared about having accurate silhouettes?
For all we know, it might be Sengoku, Garp and Tsuru.

It was only a matter of time until we saw Krieg, Gin, and Pearl again.
