I mean yeah, I feel the same. What annoys me about her in particular is shes literally a BADASS GLADIATOR WOMAN, and Oda not only managed to STILL make her a damsel in distress, but to hyper sexualize her as a MINOR at that. I want to like Kyros, but him stealing the spot light from her while also having such a problematic age gap with her mother just, get in the way of that.
The dumb Kuween scene bothers me mostly because how unintegral it is to the plot, you could literally completely remove it and not change a thing. I think the whole hyper-masculinity thing can work without inherently being misogynist, but its a thin line to cross and Oda is not good with those.
I would like Barto on the spine, my boy deserves some spotlight.

You have to be kidding me. They talked about one piece, said new episodes were coming, and showed a VOYAGE 5 TRAILER. They also once again teased a celebration for 1000 episodes, with no further information. What the hell.
