RE: Chapter 1090: Kizaru
Perfect mix of humor, violence, and wholesomeness. This is what OP is about. Not Sabo, Garp, and Shanks for 8 chapters.

RE: Season 1 General Discussion
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.”

RE: The ways Orochi's existence wrecks the manga. (SPOILERS)
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.

RE: Chapter 1090: Kizaru
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.

RE: Chapter 1107: I've Been Looking For You!!
@Razh I don't see any reason to do more than what Oda did in Wano for Zoro. I was waiting to see if this was his arc in some way because of a 1 dimensional reason of being a swordsman.
To find out his family has more immediate importance after they left and established his village just makes it more of a point that Shimotsuki Village is more of homeland than Wano was.
Wano is just another piece to the puzzle of his lessons. It does not beat Shimotsuki out for his homeland. Try convincing Luffy that this Nika stuff is more important than what he experienced growing up under Dadan with Ace/Sabo.
Even for Sanji in WCI arc, his principles and values from Zeff are more priority than his blood kin. Most of the things driving him and resolutions were based on what he got from the Baratie and the split page of Zeff and him ended the arc.

RE: Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 10 - Egghead)
Zoro is a weirdo gatekeeper. Could have kept it to "you helped our captain, thanks". Instead, he had to add "get off now". One day, there will be a discussion about his manners. Just a nasty individual. Some fans think it's cute to be mean like that.
Caribou is an honored guest. He survived attacks from Drake and Pekoms. Let him enjoy some Sunny time.

RE: Season 2 (and Beyond?) Speculation Thread (Spoilers)
Just seen the news of the co-showrunner and of course its been on here for over a week. Media stay late on OP news. I need to look at these threads more often

RE: Chapter 1112: Hard Aspects
The way the Gorosei view VP is just intriguing. Like any CD, nothing matters, but themselves. As the Elders, they care about what helps maintain their power. Warlords and VP are similar at being assets that way. Fishman relations, whatever Doffy knows about Mary Geoise, Kuma supplying them with Pacifista. All to their benefit.
They would still give an ear to York, but their own servant is like can you spare my precious Kaku and Mars just doesn't give af lmao. This is so good. None of this stood out or caught my attention until Saturn mentioned all of this being regrettable while on his way in 1073. Everything from that point - Kuma still moving after Saturn used his supposed self-destruct switch, Bonney directive in units that look like Kuma, Baldy's comment on the power to level a country.
I believe VP when he says he wants energy to be free and abundant. Go ahead and make a monster with logia abilities.
Anyway, just like WCI arc had a couple things that were a long time coming, Egghead does as well. 1 of those being Lola giving the Vivre Card to Nami that resulted in the Zeus relationship among other things. For Egghead, I think of Koby in W7 telling Luffy about VP. Egghead has many callbacks to Sabaody, but Koby's dialogue is what I think can return. Put that together with York's dialogue from 1089 where she says she sent the Mother Flame to the Gorosei.
Maybe Mars is seeing some kinda creature or weapon similar to Mother Flame.

@Gear-4-Sauce You mean us as the audience, the crew, the world, or some mixture?

RE: Chapter 1112: Hard Aspects
Finally, the Gorosei are separated. I think the next step is to have Dorry/Brogy and Robonosuke take on Warcury/Peter, so Luffy can have space to take on Kizaru. Zoro/Jinbe making their way to where Saturn is. Sanji currently on his way to where Baldy is posing like some model.
I wonder if the Warlord before Kuma and Kuma's race still plays a role in this arc. 2 more - whoever captured Ginny and the DF dilemma. Could recreate Zoan, synthesize green blood for Paramecia, but Logia was too difficult.
These come to mind whenever Oda has some reveal coming up.
He went away from Robonosuke for this chapter. Does he go away from whatever Mars seen to progress the other events? He also has to start the message now that there are seconds left.
What is this next chapter made up of? Robonosuke, Mars, 1 of the 3 escape parties, oh yeah I forgot Kizaru is depressed on some ship.

RE: Chapter 1112: Hard Aspects
@realtenchu In 1093, you can see smoke coming fromBonney, as she falls. She took a lot of damage from the barrier's defense. Just saw Edison get hurt going through it. In 1092, Luffy said he almost thought he was going to die going through the barrier twice.
I don't think the Sunny could survive if Luffy attempted to pull it through that barrier defense.

RE: Chapter 1111: Sun-Shield
I still believe she may be on the way.

RE: Roger's Past With The Rocks Pirates
My feeling is that Rocks was a "decent" guy that bumped heads with Roger here and there. Less like Koby and more like a Kid "decent". I think there was a dark force in Rocks crew tho, that was opportunistic. Similar to Teach on WBs ship. I believe that may be the bomb Oda may drop later.

RE: Chapter 1111: Sun-Shield
Perfect time to start rereading the arc. This will be my 3rd reread and so much pops out every time. Something about the Cross Guild content leaves me anxious tho.

RE: Chapter 1111: Sun-Shield
@Deicide Maybe they took something that they didn't fully understand, so their use of it is limited.
Or maybe Imu blesses them with some lesser form of his abilities.

RE: Chapter 1111: Sun-Shield
Maybe others have already mentioned it, but the Gorosei's circles give me a feeling of limitations. Like there is some limit to either them being around the "Earth" or their abilities in general.
