Still think after Jinbei, there's Carrot. After that, in the less likely field, it's Pedro or Pekoms. Then, Raizo, Kiku and Tama are in the least likely field.

RE: 2019 NFL Season
When you're not a real sports fan and you make it about politics or social issues, you have to go by some narrative fed to you. Then there's also the fact that many teams go long spans of time w/o a decent season. "Fans" get desperate and have to find some enjoyment in the sport. That is finding something to despise and hate.
The interesting thing is that I remember "the Pats are done" narrative after the 2011 loss to that great Giants team. They ended up winning 3 more rings after that. Josh might be gone, but I highly doubt Brady or Belichick are done in NE. With a higher draft pick and a loss in the WC round, this next season will be a revenge tour. Many "fans" just started to care about sports in the last 3 years. They don't understand that this is temporary and Belichick will create a whole new identity for this team as he does every season.

RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
My hope is that Vivi will become the admiral of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. Think about it, Luffy has gathered these people with his raw charisma, but doesn't really want to lead them himself. Vivi is a more experienced politician and figurehead, who has likely just had her chance to get on the throne she was meant for stripped away, and is already in contact with two of the five members of the fleet. She's the perfect person to unite the scattered captains and direct them to do whatever it is they need to do to make a massive incident. And being an official Straw Hat Fleet Admiral is a good way to balance her position as an honorary crew member with not wanting the main cast to get even more bloated and stuck for screen time.
If this becomes true, Sai preparing to leave his allied country would be a solid enough piece of evidence to back this up.
I disagree with this and think Vivi leading a possible non WG affiliated Alliance makes more sense. Whether the Revolutionary Army is involved or not would be interesting. There's the Nefertari fam that could've went to Marie Geoise. Also Wano and Germa as possibilities. Germa was talked about by the Revs after WCI arc as non affiliated. Wano is currently being left alone by Akainu's decision. Countries that suffer due to the WG's negligence and dealings. As we saw Orochi dealing with Cipher Pol and Marco saying that the lack of Heavenly Tribute has left Sphinx vulnerable like other places. Even Lulusia, as an allied country, suffers.
I see Vivi and the son's roles in this as two different things. One is a savior to the less fortunate/WG's negligence and the others. Vivi can be what the WG fails to be. The Fleet are trying to be an embodiment of the crew's principles. Both are spreading the SH liberation, but on different fronts. They can be, but don't have to be one entity.

RE: Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 7 - Wano)
Characters are changing sizes as the series progresses and changing when performing a form. Does shape and size have to be similar?
-
RE: Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 7 - Wano)
The Fleet seems like it's own thing. Momo might start something of his own with the Scabbards and their allies, which could include the Minks (Neko and Inu) and possibly some WB pirates (Izo). Also, there's a possibility that non affiliated WG countries might start some coalition.

RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Speculation
Aokiji won on Punk Hazard and decided that Sakazuki should be the Fleet Admiral. He wanted to be closer to the action and snuggle under Teach. Teach got what he wanted from the WG by using their Warlord system and this would be Aokiji's way of using Teach's tactics against him

RE: Vivre Card: One Piece Visual Dictionary
A couple thoughts about this Haki debacle. What does being a Haki user mean and what does it change about the W7/EL arc? Why do some fans think that because some in CP9 were Haki users, that their losses are concerning now?
From my understanding, all living things have Haki, but once it's realized, the individual can become a user. So, when fans say "does this character have Haki", it doesn't make sense to me. The question is if they are a Haki user or not.
Back to CP9. Lucci is said to be a Haki user pre-timeskip. Now, i'm guessing the concern is when was he using Haki and shouldn't he have beaten Luffy. My question is are all Haki users just supposed to be stronger than non Haki users? Remember that all living things have Haki and even if you aren't a user, your Haki can grow stronger. I'm aware that many may disagree with this, but it is a fact.
Before it was confirmed that Teach was a Haki user in the Vivre Card, it was confirmed in the manga. In Impel Down, Teach remarked that Luffy's Haki is stronger than when they met during the Jaya arc. So, Teach can measure Haki through physical contact and no physical contact at all. The simple answer is that he's a Haki user.
!
I apologize if this is too blurry. "You're stronger than I thought and your Haki is stronger than the last time I saw you"This really doesn't change anything. There are many that said Sanji couldn't use CoA. I remember something about his suit from the wedding being cool to some because if he uses hardening, it'd be easy to tell. There are even some fans that believe if hardening isn't being used, it isn't CoA. To me, Haki is being explained to us at a fair pace and has been pretty clear too some capacity. Read some chapters more than once and from different translators. Having context is everything. Even is a translation is wrong, if you have more than 1 interpretation of it, you can have a better understanding of what is going on.

RE: Marvel Movies Thread - Holy Shitballs
I only know him from his XM:TAS adaptation. Unless there's more to Mr. Sinister, then i'm mostly familiar with him.
I'd prefer Keanu as the top underling of someone compared to the main antagonist. His acting is kind of limited, but he is great at those roles that he lands.
Also, Kev Feige on Strange 2 and it's horror scenes
"The way, when I was a kid in the ‘80s, Spielberg did an amazing job. There are horrifying sequences in Raiders that I would, as a little kid, [cover my eyes] when their faces melted. Or Temple of Doom, of course, or Gremlins or Poltergeist. These are the movies that invented the PG-13 rating, by the way — they were PG and they were like, ‘We need another [rating].’ But that’s fun, it’s fun to be scared in that way and not a horrific, torturous way, but in a way that is legitimately scary because Scott Derrickson’s quite good at that. But scary in the service of an exhilarating emotion.”
I'm here for Strange 2

RE: Kingdom
Humans at their core are animals and will forever come up with excuses to be at odds or better than the other. The few that attempt to fight those facts will end up unsuccessful at that cause and ostracized. The intention isn't dumb, but the method is. Not only in method, but the goal is unobtainable. You can have peace for 100 centuries, there will be someone who comes along to change that. It isn't sustainable or realistic.

RE: Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 7 - Wano)
Pekoms hitting Caribou is a great example. They're in the New World where Sky Walk or the use of Haki is common for many formidable opponents . I'm not against a Logia user, because i'm more about the characteristics compared to what their ability can be. I highly doubt Oda would put someone in the main crew that can't hold their own. Do they need a Logia user, I don't think so.
Also, the Sanji conversation is interesting. He left Ivan with no apparent changes to his body and doesn't perform any Newkama Kenpo or even his own spin on it. He just does Sky Walk and some variants of his older skill set. Instead of questioning if he is showing everything, many just toss it up to "that's his ceiling for now". I'm not buying into the thought that any of the SH crew have shown all of their results of training.
I think there's more to the 18 months (Rayleigh teaching the basics) and 6 months (Luffy on his own). Why not use Snakeman or Boundman against Caesar or Hody? It wasn't necessary, but also, I think Oda is unveiling their abilities in doses that fit the narrative. If the audience gets everything at once, it's rushed. While each of the members haven't shown everything off, they are receiving progression to compliment those unseen abilities.
- a bump in CoO to compliment Snakeman, CoA progression currently
- Haki for Usopp
- that suit for Sanji
- Zeus and the upgrade from Usopp/Franky Corp. for Nami
- Enma and possibly Nidai (as part of a possible Sandai-Nidai-Shodai progression) for Zoro
- I can see Franky and Usopp possibly taking from the Germa suit as they redesign it. Franky keeps bumping into Kairoseki (Dressrosa and now where it's from)
We have yet to see any flashbacks of Luffy training alone from the 6 months and that can possibly reveal another G4 form or something not G4 related at all. I'm aware that leaves room for Oda to pull out anything, but I see it as possible setup from the moment the training was split up into two parts. Same goes for Usopp and his botany or Chopper and his forms.
-
RE: Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 7 - Wano)
I don't think the DF ability makes the character or that the crew needs another character with a DF ability. As long as they have a dope dream and backstory, I trust Oda can make a believable skill set for that character.
Also, as we seen with Croc and Enel, having a Logia doesn't make you unstoppable. If Aokiji or Akainu had the Goro Goro or Suna Suna, they would make a difference. It's the character that makes the DF, not the DF that makes the character. A character can have a Logia ability and grow to become formidable in the story where they aren't just easily destroying their opponent. I understand that most Logia users come off as having some sort of cheat code, but we all have come to see that's not the case.

So none from the Uzuki and Fugetsu clans have been confirmed yet. I wonder if there are individuals that we met already who are from these clans. Maybe some of the Scabbards or Tama. Some can possible be from the Yakuza, Oniwabanshu, or the Mimawarigumi.

RE: DC TV Series Thread - Crossovers where heroes SING!
This crossover has been better than I thought it would be. Showing love to so many movies and shows of the past, while appreciating every Arrowverse show.
! 1st episode was for Supergirl. Main narratives were
- Oliver dying
- Alex/Lena working together
- Sara meeting an Oliver that ended up alone and she could've been like that. It honored Oliver from the other timeline in Legends.
! 2nd episode was the Batwoman episode, which was decent, but the weakest of the 4 so far. Main narratives were
- Harbinger/Anti-Monitor
- Bringing Oliver back
- Kate's courage test (shout to Kingdome Come Bruce and Kevin Conroy)
- Really Lex's Paragon test for truth as he messes with Routh's Superman (movie and Kingdomcome Superman shout) and Teen Wolf Superman. Smallville Clark (this was my fav part) got to shit all over Lex.
! Tie in - 2.5
- Jennifer's decision
! 3rd episode has been the best so far
- Flash, Barry, Pariah, Jefferson, etc deal with anti matter machine
- Oliver's big twist that not even I saw coming as Spectre and this is huge
- Kara vs Kate on whether to use the Book of Destiny
- Anti-Monitor using Harbinger to kill Monitor just like in the comics. Pariah saving the Paragon and the Lex twist
! 1st episode
I don't watch Supergirl, but I was still able to keep up with what was going on. I judge crossover episodes by how effective they were at using the identity of the show of the night to convey the bigger story, while also functioning as a story that serves the main narratives. The 3 narratives in this were able to make the best out of what Supergirl is. That is coming together, no matter race and keeping hope alive, despite the losses. I'm not too privy to Lena and Alex's issue, but it ok seeing them put their differences aside to help as many people possible escape. Oliver, as usual, took the lead, but died at the end and that caught me off guard. It felt so early, but it was a great way to establish how dire this was. They used the baby to weirdly get to Oliver of Earth 16 and that was lame. The saving grace was what Sara gave to him and remembered about herself. They are both tenacious characters and the best leaders.
! 2nd ep
This was the weak link for me. Too much of the episode was catered to Lex. I understand that Clark and Lois are getting a show that I might not watch and Lex will make their lives hell, but this was a Batwoman episode and they dropped the ball for her specifically, while trying to hype up Lex. The way Kate mistakenly killed Bruce was also bad. What saved this episode was Smallville Clark pissing off Lex. I grew up on Smallville and him giving up his powers for his family is a beautiful send off. Batwoman's show is taking to long to establish an identity, so it had no ground to stand on from the jump. Every episode has some good stuff, but then every journal take to Bruce pisses me off. Kate us dull and the actress performance is the reason. This episode mirrored why the Batwoman episode had to be crowded by Lex's Paragon test. A little Harbinger cliffhanger that finally showed Anti Monitor. Another decent part was Oliver being brought back, but his soul couldm't due to the wave's interruption.
! Tie in episode
Black Lightning has been better than Flash for the last 2 seasons. The Akils make it their business to stand on their own, but leave wiggle room to play with the rest of the verse when it's necessary. This episode was great and I highly doubt Jennifer's role in Crisis is over. While Pariah saved Jefferson, she was in that other form and was not shown to be wiped out by the wave like the rest. It was explained that she went through that experience with her other world versions because of her power, which goes beyond matter. Seeing Anissa's words to Jefferson play out with his other versions being killed was poetic. How each version of Jennifer dealt with Odell and Jefferson wasn't just for this event, it entails everything that has happened this season, while showing the effects of the Crisis. This episode was written perfectly to showcase how Black Lightning's identity in this universe is to hold it's own, but work together when needed. Jeniffer was able to speak to all over her other world counterpart's soul with the right logic.
! 3rd episode
My favorite episode of the main three so far. I didn't care for Kate trying to stop Kara and it took up the perfect amount of time in the episode. It wasn't bad, it was just like yeah whatever. Neither of them were going to fight because both characters are so indecisive. They are the "too late/pick up the pieces" kind if characters. A whole lot of predictable pump faking. I'm not a big comic reader, but i could sense that the Monitor was on his way out and soon. I liked how Harbinger turned around and smiled before beating up Diggle. Did not see the Lex twist coming, but it was built up nicely. All the Superman nonsense made perfect sense. Oliver becoming Spectre was so perfect. It just fits so well. From Constantine to Lucifer, then Jim Corrigan, it was done so well. It's in a place where Oliver wasn't revived. He serves a greater purpose. It's the best twist so far. Now, we have 2 characters that are kind of above the anti matter wipe out. Oliver as Spectre and Jennifer in that form. So those 2 and the 7 Paragons have 2 episodes to defeat the Anti-Monitor.
! Now to address my favorite narrative of the episode and crossover in full. First, Tom Cavanagh has made the Arrowverse so fun to watch. So many different characters on Flash. Now Pariah gets to be the one that started it (heard his comic counterpart did as well), but is huge in helping as he brings Jefferson into the fold. Cisco being forced to become Vibe again was hilarious to me. He fought so hard to not be that and Monitor was like nope, you have a role in this that needs your powers. Earth 90 Barry was such a great addition in Elseworlds and Crisis. His flashback as he dies was so good, even tho I didn't watch that show. I hope Barry took something from that sacrifice. You still might have to die Barry. -

RE: What did Luffy say?
For me, the moon thing is the same as Lodestar. In the sense that Lodestar should be out of the question when it comes to visiting it, but it's been put in my face in a way that I have to second guess and question if the crew may have to journey there.
So, the moon is just too obvious imo. It might have a connection to Laugh Tale, but the possibility of the moon being Luffy's dream or being Raftel decreased for me way before this arc.

RE: New MANGA Plus service from Shueisha (global, legal, simul, free, English releases)
Piracy wouldn't be that much of an issue, if the official providers were on top of the digital market before fans did it themselves. Instead, they allowed it to grow, then tried to implement their ways and cut them off completely. Now it'll get worse where you're seeing even mire amateurish fans provide 3-4 versions before the official drops. Then the official drops grainy scans that are compiled in weird order and messes up the reading experience in general.
This is what happens when you're too slow to embrace a change in marketing. Keeping your finger on the pulse of things is marketing 101. That 07-09 era was where they should've taken advantage of things digitally. I'm trying to read Dr. Stone and Boichi's art deserves better man. Gotta wait for the boxset, if there ever is one.

RE: What did Luffy say?
All of this, from the Reverie to this arc's "break" revelations and this flashback. It feels almost like the story is getting a restart in some capacity. We have leaders of countries being introduced, we're acquanted with the 2 lesser known Yonkou now, Im, closer to Vegapunk, no more Warlords, the crew's experiences with groups as loyal as the Minks, oppression in Wano, battle with hate with the fishmen, etc.
It may not be necessary, but does anyone think the crew will go to Lodestar Island? We've heard of this perceived last island through the Minks and Oden's flashback. It seems like Oda might still make it important enough to visit, even though it was emphasized that they don't have to.
We also were informed of Oden's relationship w/ WB to an extent in Zou. We have now seen how close they are even more now. Is there any clue at all, that can still hint to what Marco's message to Luffy is? Maybe Marco is informed of WB's Rocks days, even tho he wasn't around him for it. He might be more informed about Kaido

RE: What did Luffy say?
Kevo's signature might be a hint, but that also leaves me stuck with the WB/Sabo laugh and Ace/Oden astonished clues.

- WB's message to Teach about not being the one that Roger is waiting on
- the 2 different reactions from Ace/Oden and Sabo/WB, plus their own respective goals
- Luffy's response to the fleet
- What Roger told Oden to write in Skypiea
- Roger's last words to Rayleigh and at his execution
- Rayleigh comparing Roger to a flame for others and Luffy's "most free" comment impressing Shakky and Rayleigh

RE: 2019 NFL Season
I see a lot of talk around Jameis. He has a lot of great numbers and there is a question of why he isn't being praised for it. I can't answer this, but I will say that only casuals will praise his game. You would have to be a stat watcher or a fantasy junkie who doesn't watch games, to think that is the way of a great QB.
A great QB throws it away, instead of taking a sack or throwing a pick six. I just watched a compilation of all of the pick sixes of the season so far. Jameis was there at least 3 times. That is the life of a stat padder. Throw it as many times as possible and you'll get your stats. All that stat padding and your team has 8 losses and no playoff hopes.
The issue with most teams is that they don't put enough effort into changing their identity when the new season starts. Why are teams not trying to adjust? So many new coaches are made head coaches at the end of the season, instead of waiting it out. If you have to fire the head coach, your playoff chances are ridiculously low. So why not wait out the season? Then when the new season starts, the situation is better than a new coach coming in or stepping up from coordinator duties.
Prime example is New England. You might see 3 different identities throughout the season of them, but when those last 2 games of reg. season come in, they know who they are. Special teams have been aggressive all season, despite the rotating kickers. Speaking of kickers. Ryan Allen (punter) was consistently good for multiple seasons, but the decision was made to bring in competition via a draft pick (Jake). Bill brings in competition every season to test the vets and younger guys, also it functions as a good way to shape up the roster when the reg season starts. It isn't new or bad. My issue is, why bring in competition for Ryan, when Gostkowski has been consistently mediocre for the last 3 seasons. Not only has Gostkowski been mediocre, he went out before mid season for surgery. Now you're forced to look elsewhere for a kicker.
If i'm not mistaken, Cowboys have consistently been a top 2 offense for the bulk of the season and the Pats held them to less than 10 points. 3 of the Boogeymen are leading the league in interceptions and Jason (#2 in the secondary) got hurt right before the Browns game. His snaps was lessened as he fought through the injuries, but had to stop after the Eagles win. So, against the best offense and without our #2 corner, he Pats held them to 9 points. JC is young, but has stepped up in his sophomore year. If that isn't good, then I don't know what is.

RE: What did Luffy say?
Luffy views the Pirate King as someone who can sail freely. We're getting a ton of Roger info during Oden's flashback. Oden wants to open the boarders of his own country and experience new things. Roger had Oden write something that can imply to any other adventurer that they are on the right track.
Putting together that both are adventurers and Oden is leaving encouraging and validating notes for future explorers, it's somewhat difficult to say exactly what it is. It can't be a map for others to experience what they experienced because that's Nami's dream. It has to be close to what Nami's dream tho. Something that WB considers childish, but admirable. WB told Teach "The man Roger is waiting for is definitely not you".
!
Ace wanted to be accepted and Sabo wanted to sail and write a book about the greater parts of the world. Both exemplified what they wanted to change. Sabo, like WB laughed and Ace's expression mirrored Oden. WB wanted a fam due to his childhood and Sabo wanted to share the great parts of the world due to growing up in among horrible people. Ace's want for acceptance and Oden's want for change in his own country lead them to WB and a 2nd division role.
WB and Sabo want to share, while Ace and Oden want to change perspective. Roger wants to be some kind of guide for those who want to sail the world or at least be free to in the future. Luffy wants to just be free and even refused the fleet's "sons" idea (which is WB like).
The most I can make of it is that Roger and Luffy want to be examples/guides to anyone that wants to be free. I almost said legend or hero, but it felt tacky.

Isn't OP like the biggest ongoing manga? I look at previews to these games and it's just repetitive. Run around and fight massive fodder on weirdly confined maps, then face the boss. The game that i've seen marketed the most (Jump Force) wasn't even good. Just a little update in graphics, but the game itself was horrible.

RE: New MANGA Plus service from Shueisha (global, legal, simul, free, English releases)
Truth is, the manga/anime industry should've been on top of the digital market before anyone else. They should have a bigger community forum than AP or OJ. There shouldn't be so many fans finding manga series through a MS or anything like it. If they did their jobs right. They can still take advantage by embracing Arlong Park in some innovated way, but they let it live on it's own as they did with OJ. Well, at least until they're ready to bury it like OJ.
Instead, they let these entities live on because they know it helps grow the community, but when they start to implement the methods like they've done as of the last 3 years, they can X out MS and others whenever they want. Simple business tactics. Disney and Warner used Netflix to broadcast their properties, but when they copy their methods, they start their own platforms and become more immediate competitors. The difference is, the manga/anime industry barely embraced an OJ or AP. They pick out who they control and X out everyone else. OJ tried to promote and do the "make sure you support the official product", but that gets you no where lol. That same thing goes on here and this place can be taken out whenever "you know who" feels like being aggressive.
The entities that put strikes on your favorite Youtuber's One Piece reactions or gets JB and MS to stop, have the same interest coincidentally. I wonder why. So many Youtubers like KOL or Joy Boy start from illegal scans or even Yonkou, but then they campaign for their following to go for the official release in the last 2 years stronger than they ever have. I don't doubt that it's genuine, but there's too many coincidences to ignore.
It's interesting that I pay the same people as the official release snobs, but i'm considered an advocate for illegal scans. What do you do to a fan forum that helps your business grow? You embrace it and possibly do cool collaborations or do you create this invisible leash that you can tug at anytime you want?

RE: Chapter 965: The Kurozumi Clan's Plot
@.access:
28 years ago - Roger (49) finds out he has an incurable disease and decides to set sail on his final adventure to conquer the Grand Line. Momonosuke is born. The Whitebeard Pirates install their division system and Oden (31) becomes the 2nd Division commander. Sukiyaki dies and Orochi is appointed as the acting Shogun in Oden's absence.
20 years ago - Oden (39) is killed. Toki sends Momonosuke 20 years to the future along with some retainers.
So we're getting closer to what I really wanted from this flashback . How did the Orochi/Kaido partnership start, filling in for the vacuity of the timlibe with Neko and Inu's argument, what happened to Denjiro (he's possibly the 1 reading Oden's logs to us right now) and the best part is we possibly get to see Oden's quietus.

The Mimawarigumi, Oniwabanshu, the farms, Udon prison system, the different Daimyos, Yakuza, traditions, practices, school, money handling, prostitution, oppression, beast, criminal activity, history, stonemasons, their value and reputation outside of Wano, etc.

Hope the demons ate some on the way. The more casualties, the better. Highly doubt it because Peter is commanding them
