My eyes are trying to scan the room for spoilers, but deep down I know there are none

Perfect mix of humor, violence, and wholesomeness. This is what OP is about. Not Sabo, Garp, and Shanks for 8 chapters.

Oda's awareness>>>>

Even he knows how loose American producers, studios, and writers can be.

A couple segments from Variety

“We’ve got scripts ready,” Marty Adelstein, CEO of Tomorrow Studios, which produces the live-action “One Piece” in partnership with manga creator Eiichiro Oda and publisher Shueisha, told Variety Thursday.

“Realistically, hopefully, a year away, if we move very quickly, and that is a possibility,” Clements said. “Somewhere between a year and 18 months, we could be ready for air.”

“They keep it, as you know, close to the vest until post-launch,” Clements said. “But with Netflix’s support of the title, we expected it to be number one and we sensed their research and algorithms probably saw the possibility for that. But in our subsequent calls post-launch, we have been told that we have exceeded expectations, which is also fantastic.”

Netflix did not respond to request for comment on status of a “One Piece” Season 2 renewal.

The win is a big one for Tomorrow Studios, which suffered a less than successful launch of its live-action adaptation of “Cowboy Bebop” for Netflix, with that series being canceled less than a month after it premiered in 2021. The execs expect a better fate for “One Piece.”

“I think [Netflix is] looking at various situations about how many episodes they do, do they break them up?” Adelstein said. “I think they’re trying to figure that out this week. I suspect we’ll hear from them in the next week to two weeks. There seems to be a big impetus to keep this going and to come up with a long-term strategy. So we’re just waiting for that.”

Orochi was 1 of the GOATs of the arc.

Not his fault Kaido took so much time to become a decent character.

Spandem is a better character than Lucci, but i'm not gonna blame him for Oda's inability to make Lucci more likeable.

I don't remember Sanji fighting to liberate the Germa Clones. He was just disgusted by it. I don't see the point of showing any of the crew's displeasure of Seraphim or any Pacifista yet if they aren't going to actively stop big bad VP.

OP Twitter usually drops the process for the cover about 2 weeks out. That is next Friday, so I expect it between now and then.

@Kaiolino This

Garp only bringing Helmeppo along, so there's someone to hold Koby back as they escape with Garp sacrificing himself.

I would like to know why the deal changed and he had to be wiped. I get it on Saturn's part. Why just get clones when you can have the man himself be a slave.

On Kuma's part, can't him and Bonney just go on the run again? He seems so set on her having a life, so he would give up anything for her and not just continue to Nezuko her. Seems like this can be all there is, but there might be more. The dialogue from the end of 1094 obviously pops up in 1100 or 1101.

I'm a chaotic reader. I can read 80 chapters in 2 weeks or take a month to read 30 chapters. This is so organized.

"You country bumpkin preacher" lmao

Finally here. I liked this one outside the Garp portrayal. I was mostly worried about the changes coming into this show. Nami leaving to kinda save the crew was a good one.

These are all characters that are more used to being support in comparison to being the main focus.

Holt, Guy, Rex, just look at them and they are side pieces that do well interacting across different storylines. They can be plugged in easy.

Now if its Hal, Bruce, Diana, etc, then I begin to worry.

Engineer is going to be the main focus as an Authority member later on, but for now she's in Clark's story.

I don't think Lex is the main antagonist here. I think involving him points to making Metropolis a character. The most recent i've seen a setting successful set up as a character for DC was Marais in the Swamp Thing series.

Wouldn't be surprised if the mayor or Daily Planet employees are announced next. Both Intergang and the 100 started in Metropolis. There should be more representation of how Metropolis politics and social climate works out there. They've done Gotham so much like its the only city riddled with lower tier criminals that can make a dent.

Update with Tess, I mean Eve and Jimmy.

I think Oda hits ch 1400 for this manga. Egghead is already about 40 chapters in. Some believed it would be another short one.

4 down.

Slave Kuma. Pastor Kuma. Rev Army Kuma. Kuma the Father.

3 to go.

"King" Kuma. Warlord Kuma. VP Enhanced Kuma.

I did not see that conclusion coming lol

So the Engineer will be in Legacy
