Chapter 911: A Great Adventure in the Land of the Samurai
-
dat Nami's side bum is hot
-
I second that. Bum.
-
Have a feeling were gonna be with Luffy for awhile.
-
More Sunny face faults!
-
I have a feeling that Luffy will replace Ace in this promise.
-
Hmm, interesting naming convention used to "rank" the Beast pirates. Hawkins is a Headliner.
So we got Pleasures, Gifters, Headliners, and Calamities so far…
-
Luffy's Observation Haki is being shown off really well already. Not to mention his Conquerors Haki.
-
That was definitely some high-level Observation from Luffy during his fight with Kaido's goons, and I was delighted to see it in action.
The chapter was a mixed bag imo. There were some speech bubbles that felt a little too explanatory and clunky - I learned a lot about the girl in a way that didn't feel natural. Overall, a lot of the setup for her felt like Oda was rushing to set things in place, which is interesting. This wasn't even the case in Dressrosa, so I'm wondering what Oda has in store for this arc that necessitated such fast buildup.
That being said, the chapter felt pretty vibrant otherwise. I really liked the long nose guy, and as I said before the fight scene. Also, it's interesting how Wano has been set up so far. We barely know anything about the country's layout, which I feel could possibly work in its favor, if we get to explore landmarks along with the characters, and get to see its majesty unfold before us.
Spoiler:
-
Page 9 is interesting. Sports some "hidden" ad.
-
I was ready to move on because the page said END. Gave myself a shock when I clicked and there was another page and it said ACE! Almost had a heart attack.
So Wano is indeed that closed off, eh? It's been 2 years since Ace died and this girl had no idea.
-
Muh princess
Muh oppressed island
Muh 1000 sidekick characters
Muh white knight Luffy -
And info doesn't reach Wano (well, at least it doesn't reach that Girl), cause otherwise O-Tama knew that Ace is dead.
-
So the guys are too heavy for Sky Walk… OK
-
Hmm, alright chapter. Seeing yet another Supernova will never not be hype.
So the guys are too heavy for Sky Walk… OK
What's the issue now lol
-

Dude, Sanji just gives excuses to just carry the Girls.
-
-
so everybody leaves the ship when it gets stuck in a whirlpool. That's nice. Jinbei come back fast, they need you !
at least it is safe now. The others shouldn't be that far away right ? Can't wait to see Usopp meeting the tengu guy
Nice to see Hawkin. His weird devil fruit was always a mystery to me so I hope we will learn more about it. -
Well OK I will see it that way even if he carries the boys after all
It's just ol' Sanji being selective with Girls and Boys.
He just treats Girls better than the Boys. It's as old as Sanji himself (or older than the dinosaurs). -
O tama has much more attitude than Shirahoshi, Becca, Carrot and Pudding.
-
Has the weekly jump some Kind of anniversary? Cause Oda placed their "logo" on a Kaidou goon's shoulder (pg9).
-

Bruh, Pudding was stabbing other kids at her age, what are you talking about
-
-
What an AMAZING spread opening the chapter!! Reminded of the old school funny and full of movements spreads that I loved. Just awesome
-
I looked it up to be sure and Kuri is the Region once ruled by Oden.
EDIT: NVM! Being attendant of the Kozuki Clan is a crime. -
That's where the 'side bum' idea came from FYI.
-
Nice nod to 50th anniversary of Jump on page 9.So Sanji saved Nami, Chopper, and Carrot. Wonder if they’re nearby Luffy and Hawkins.Kaido’s factories polluting the rivers are a nod to environmental dangers of imperialism, liked that. Lots of Ace info to come looks like.
-
Pretty standard start to a new arc.
Nice to see Luffy taming animals again with his haki. Of course, he will mistake the Tengu with Usopp.
I'm guessing Otama is trying to recruit allies for the fight against the shogun & Kaidou Pirates.
Some of the dialogue were a too on the nose with the exposition especially concerning Otama.
So, the entire village of Kuri got wiped out & you can't talk about the Kozuki clan as they are 'traitor'.
I don't really care for Hawkin honestly but with a bit more development, I may warm up to him. -
ye, while being the daughter of the oppresive queen.
O Tama is a nobody shit-talking THE oppresive regime.Implying the same queen and family didn't do anything to Pudding.
-
I got a lot of Water 7 vibes from these chapters. At the beginning of the arc we meet a weird creature with unclear intention (Sumo Frog, Kabuki Octopus) then we meet a cute kid and her guardian who are tied to the island's past (Kokoro/Chimney and Otama/Tengu). Could be just coincident but Water 7 is my favorite arc and I surely hope Wano manages to deliver at least 60-70% of its greatness.
Some dialogues and expositions about Otama are way too rushed but I guess it's better than dragging her subplot out.
-
Muh sidekick characters
Haha. Such a forced criticism, feels weird saying it about any piece of media.
That was some simple memorable action with Luffy! Observation Haki+ (OH+?) is coming in handy. Luffy's reactions are much more instant. The setting for Wano is so exotic and refreshing, I got tired of the sweets setting pretty quickly into WCI. Man, Oda makes me feel so bad for some of his characters. Hang in there kiddo!
Croc or Enel would never.Wanna see the "ancient civilization destroyed" thing done really well? FFXIV did a great take on it. The bar's high for One Piece to beat.
-
That CoO from Luffy is so beautiful. Sensed it and attack without looking. It's like Ronaldinho's no look pass. The dude doesn't know what punched him.
-
Kunoichis incoming soon. And do not to add one badass Onna-bugeisha
But I really want to see how Oda will design his version. Kinemon said women in Wano aren’t lightly dressed.
Stay strong Oda

-
See I suspected Tama was a little girl, but people saying she's the new Rebecca made me worry. Well, so far she's not insufferable and it's been a great introduction. Loving the designs. I can already tell Oda is having a ton of fun drawing this.
-
I have to admit I wasn't a big fan of the last couple dchapters. Mostly probably because we left Reverie. But I think I might have digested that and can now focus on the arc that everyone and their grandma was looking forward too (except me, I never really got that hype).
Anyway. I like O-Tama and her grandpa. And Tama's power freaked me out a little. Like, we were freaking out when Big Mom ate children, and here is a girl who volunteers to be eaten.
I hope we don't get a repeat of Capone with Hawkins. -
Still no Jinbe in the crew colourspreads…cmon Oda.

So Tama tamed a dog and a monkey, we should probably expect a pheasant soon too. Also excited to see One Piece's Onigashima

The spoilers said she was 8, so I don't know how people got confused lol
But yea, she seems really nice.
-
so the little Tama is the one who learned how to make hats to Ace?
but why is she waiting for him, isn't the news of his death spread all over?
does that mean that wano is a country closed to the outside world, it reminds me of old Japan if that is the case! -
Muh princess
Muh oppressed island
Muh sidekick characters
Muh Superman LuffyScrewtape, I know this are the usual receipts that Oda includes in almost any arc… But, nevertheless, he managed to pull off some very surprising developments just recently at Whole Cake island which turned up different from how he usually writes his story... So, have a little bit more faith for Wano, I would suggest. :happy:
-
Really enjoyable chapter
Adventure
Cool new characters with sweet designs
Callbacks to things set up hundreds of chapters ago
Another character that we know little about ready to be expanded on, hundreds of chapters after his introduction
I love it

It's nice that we get the double since not only only are they unaware of Ace's death, but also Luffy's relationship with him
-
Have a feeling were gonna be with Luffy for awhile.
Of course Oda did spend a few chapters away from his precious Luffy after all.
-
oh sunny hide safely! so funny to see sunny's face when luffy told him they will meet again somewhere..

this is what i was thinking, and all the kouzuki clan getting decimated along with those who support them is clever and scary, the world is unaware that some country like wano getting shut down and manipulated, it reminds me a bit of Alabasta too, with the baroque works acting like they were working for Cobra to fire up the people to start a war, in Wano it's the other way around, they erase every kouzuki relation to make it looks like the Shogun take care of the country, but a lot of people are may be living in a poor situation without knowing what is going on, i am already loving this arc!
-
The way i can interpret O-Tama's df is that she makes dango balls that once feed to a wild creature it turns tame just like peto peto no mi but instead of forcing them it makes them tame
-
That dango thingy is based on momotaro, right?
If she can make anyone who eat it into ally, that would be super OP.
But maybe it has time limit or only usable for animals.
I have a funny image of tama 'taming' the original admirals as they're based on momotaro as well.
-

I like to think that the baboon is actually stupid enough to be tamed by a dango ball. No magic involved. But you might be right.
 -
So Momo mistook Ace for Roger? That seems like the most likely explanation.
