What about Ace :ninja:
-
Sabo on the other hand, is almost certainly an afterthought to help ease the pain of Ace's death… though obviously Oda had him in mind when he showed the teacups a couple months earlier.
Yeah, the earliest mention of Sabo is Ace's death. He clearly had the Dadan stuff thought out as early as Enies Lobby, but I could easily see Sabo being something thought of very close to when Ace died.

You sure ? Have we seen Jinbe's entire belly after TS ?
 -
That's because Jinbei has battle blubber as opposed to skinny little Luffy.
-

Not really. Maybe he'll show off his cool scar at the end of this arc to cement his bond with Luffy. Probably give some schpiel about how the scar he shares with Luffy is as strong as the branding ironed Sun Pirates tattoo. Juxtapose that with Nami remembering the tattoo she got to cover up the Arlong Pirates tattoo, and we're golden.
-
In the cover page I feel like Jimbei showed his tummy while eating Takoyaki with Mihawk. No scar at all. Though I don't remember if that cover came before or after the war.
Folks who read One Piece… Just better people. ¯\(ツ)/¯

It came after the war, but he doesn't show his belly more than usual anyway.

Big Mom has the best tattoos, next comes Smoothie. Law wanted to be in my group, but he's a no-no in my list.
Luffy's face and chest are weak, the limbs are like Poneglyphs, nothing makes lasting damage.
-
Hey Gregg, how do you feel about the change of the Mochi Mochi to special parmecia instead of Logia?
-
I think it's a solid choice. If he made it more clear that he was indeed that kind of sap that'd be fine. Or if he explained that the GL weather contributed that'd be great too but I'm more satisfied with 'special' Paramecia since it makes actual rice mochi all the more plausible.
-
Special Paramecia? I dunno, sounds like it just makes it unnecessarily complicated. So what's supposed to be the difference between non-special ones as well as between logias?
-
I don't mind the special parameccia as long as it is explained to me.
But accepting it blandly just like that ?! I don't get how can any of you be satisfied with that. God knows I like the taste of Oda's shoes but there is a limit to how much you can lick it. -
God knows I criticize of a lot of Oda's choice(20months to ma fanfiction possible) but the fruits are fine. My rule for fruits has been:
Logia: You become natural stuff
Zoan: You can transform your body into another creature
Paracemia: Whatever doesn't fit.It's only reason why Luffy is kinda find if you consider rubber is not natural and that Blackbeard's fruit has a shitload of random abnormalities(because nothing can be done right with Blackbeard).
The weird thing is calling it special.
-
There's also the very very very high posibility that the devil fruits aren't a natural phenomenon, (or supernatural) but manufactured.
My logic? The pocket fruit, that thing can't happen by accident, it is the work of a perverse mind.
-
So what's supposed to be the difference between non-special ones as well as between logias?
Probably same difference between Zoan and Mythical Zoans.
I have no idea how this is even a thing.
We don't know if the labeling in the first place was a mistake on Oda's part or not.
Heck, there's a mistake in OP Magazine Vol.1 that's a result of human error with no relation to Oda.
And either way, it reeeeeeally doesn't matter.
I always thought mochi worked far better as a Paramecia anyway. I get the funky GL nature explanation. I'd even buy it.
But it just makes so much more sense to be Paramecia.
-
Everyone had the first instinct that Mochi as a Logia seemed kind of outta place and couldn´t believe it was classified as such, so that they had to explain it with theories.
Now it was corrected, but people are now sad that their explanations are useless.

Mochi-logia was so great I even came back (mostly cause wanted to laugh at incredibly smug "only natural elements!" people). Also, I was, like, super-ok with "Streussen turnin normal fruits into food-related abominations" theory.
Even those small joys were taken from me.
P.S. Ironically, most of mochi does taste like shoes, I have no idea how people can consume it in such quantities. -
@Long:

You're right. I forgot we got that panel before the actual death chapter.
But yeah, i still think Sabo was relatively recently created(impel down, early Marineford) to compromise killing Ace but still getting the cool older brother figure
-
I don't know about that. We get the meaning of Ace's back tattoo as soon as he appears. But he doesn't mention anything about his arm's tattoo and the crossed S. I don't think it was random.
 -
Oda must've already planned Sabo from way before. I'm guessing planning Luffys planning would've been priority.
Or he could've atleast thought of a name prior
-
Where is this about "special paramecia" coming from? Looked back a bit in this thread but couldn't see anything other than it just being discussed.

A bit change of subject:
This is about the admirals design. The ones presented in the main story line (i.e. not Sengoku from flashbacks) are all based on japanese actors. Is there something they have in common, such as genre, popularity or something else?
If so, are there any good predictions about who Green Bull's appearance may be based on? Whether if it's going to be a male, female (or okama, not discriminating here) character.

The original three had famous roles based in criminal dramas. Aokiji's was a detective, Akainu's was a yakuza member, and I think Kizaru's actor did both.
Fujitora's actor's most famous role was someone who was a wandering swordsman who regularly fought the yakuza.
-
I have read the theory that Green Bull could be the famous actor Toshiro Mifune who played Musashi Miyamoto in one of his movies, this theory comes from Oda once drawing him with Bull like horns…

Oda drew a picture of Toshiro Mifune, probably THE most known Japanese actor in the west (can´t say much about Japan itself), with horns one of the volume back covers. He basically added horns to one of Mifune´s most famous characters, Yojimbo. Plus there is actually a movie that pits Zatoichi, the inspiration for Fujitora, both in appearance of the actor but also behavior, and Yojimbo against each other.

Yep, like previously mentioned, it feels like somebody made a mistake and this is an improvisation to fix that, whatever…
Not like Katakuri did anything in this arc Trebol has not done before regarding the ability -
I like to think that Oda saying he is considering having sea battles in Wano Country gives credit to your theory of Wano Country being made up of four seasonal islands, Greg. Even though I think it's already pretty likely as is.

Both Dressrosa and tottlad are made of multiple islands. So I would say it could be the trend in the new world.

Aside Mifune, another possibility is Yoshio Harada from movie Roningai. He played with both Fujitora & Kizaru's actor in that movie and have similiar haircut with Ryokugyu's silhuetto in chapter 801.

It's only reason why Luffy is kinda find if you consider rubber is not natural and that Blackbeard's fruit has a shitload of random abnormalities(because nothing can be done right with Blackbeard).
Teach is going to be always special even if you look it from a prisma.
The man got Will of D., the strongest fruit, which gives him the power to absorb and create his own dimension… for me, he can do whatever he wants, and even eat two more fruits... Willpower after all is what fights directly against death and the main resource of power in One Piece. I'd expects D.'s to even have created the Devil Fruits, and pretty much more linked to why they're considered "God's Arch-enemy", regarding that fact.
Law being a D. it bothered me at first, because i consider him a weakling, for having the only fruit that can't work "always" or that he's tired of using it too much. But when i read a second time Dressrosa, i noticed that Dofla said that a prominent user of the Ope Ope can perform the legendary immortal operation, so for that is why i don't spit alot on the character, i hope willpower to apply as feature to perform it.
Regarding Katakuri, i only hope that Oda will re-draw the page where Ichiji cuts him in half... if he doesn't do that, what a fail D:
-
The fact that Blackbeard never turned into darkness doesn't mean that he can't.
Maybe he never did because it would just make him a bigger target. -

Yeah but they'll probably be more even split like how in alabasta they traveled around a bit

This is an astute observation.
Green Bull's silhouette looks very similar to that actor's voluminous and wavy of hair as well.

Just read the synopsis of "Roningai" and if Ryokyogu is the One Piece version of Gennai Aramaki (Yoshio Arada's character) I think that his interaction with the strawhats will be priceless.

The character of Gennai Aramaki is described as a boozing lady's man who's relying on women for pocket change.
Ryokyogu being like that seems a little bit doubtful for me, since this would make him a character whose comedic side would be emphasised at first. But we already have the absent-minded Kizaru and the addicted gambler Fujitora, who are chracters with a well-developed "funnier side". It would also mean that if he interacts with the Strawhats that it would probably mirror Aokiji's attitude towards Nami at first.
But aren't the Marines after Sakazuki's takeover as Fleet Admiral supposed to be an even more feared and powerful force for justice? What I'm getting at is this: Wouldn't a person whose character is much more similiar to Lucci or Sakazuki himself be a much more fitting choice for the last remaining admiral?
On the other hand, Oda surely could also made a boozing lady's man a fearsome character. And there could be the risk of making Ryokyogu a Sakazuki-clone.
Carrot's still never gonna join the crew.

Oda suggested in SBS Vol. 76 that Green Bull and Issho will be Admirals that, despite being Marines, don't conform with standard World Government ideals. Whether this is to improve the system from within like Issho or to abuse it for personal benefits (like Morgan, Nezumi, Spandam have done in the past), Green Bull likely won't be similar to Sakazuki.

Yeah, I've read the SBS, Oda heavily implies that the reader's guess is right. But it would be nice if Ryokyogu didn't have altruistic motives like Fujitora, but was more of an opposite of him. So him using the World Government for personal gain and being more amoral like Blackbeard would be interesting. And such an attitude would be more effective in my opinion if he was being portrayed as some kind of hardened criminal, especially in contrast to the more light-hearted Fujitora and Kizaru.
And the criteria of him being different than Sakazuki would still apply, since such a cynical attitude would contrast with Red Dog's, who is fanatically devoted to the eradication of pirates.

I mean that that's an AMAZING coincidence and it's all but solidified him as the character.
