@Halfmetal-lich:

But Hancock is the only female character post Vivi who's not a straw hat, that has had back to back spotlight in arcs. The only female who hasn vanished and shown up later after 100+ chapters (I'm looking at you Tashgi) No other female character (cept Robin, Nami and Vivi before she left) can stake that claim.

Ahh, I see you were going with the pattern, not the statistic. That makes more sense.

Well the obvious way was that law was going to magically find some organs and Revive him from the dead.

But I guess I should change that to almost anybody.

@Deicide:

This doesn't change the fact that what he said is true.

I never denied that it was true, only how impressive it was.

@Deicide:

Wow, I'm glad to see that everyone who said I had hijacked the thread was wrong. The discussions continue to roll without me anyway.

There has been a lot of great comments in the last two pages. I have nothing else to add.

This is so true!

As is this.

Hancock having the most spotlight of any female isn't really saying much, given the amount of non-villain females since then.

Nyon
Conis
Margirette
Camie
Mozu and Kiwi
Lola
Hancocks sisters
Shaaki
Aisa
Aisa's cousin
Kokoro
Chimney

When compared to the amount of male characters.

Also, any problem that any character has can be resolved.

Because when people run out of semi-relevant ideas they resort to waiting for AGOG to post to make their oh so clever remarks towards his post as if the joke hasn't been repeated since about a month after he started posting, calling each other retarded and apparently making bets as to what they'll do if perona joins.

@Urouge:

This argument is so painful to read. There's nothing that says that the "boss character" is going to join the crew. The teaming up that Croc has already done is already enough to fulfill Oda's statement. Rather than going on these long, excuse-filled tirades about "my character qualifies as boss!", just stick with "it doesn't matter in the slightest."

After about the third or fourth time of explaining how irrelevant the quote was, I just gave up and went with the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" mentality.

It's as if people think this thread works on some kind of points system now, and the candidate with the most points will join the crew.

Yup, at the end of every quarter we tally up the points and send oda the results. Points come in a unit called milliodas, mos for short. We're actually lobbying to have it become an official part of the metric system. There are also cenitodas, deciodas odas and so on.

@JERK:

He's interpreting boss to mean something it blatantly isn't. Henchmen characters are an archetype as old as god himself, and Perona is one of those to the T,

Only if you're strictly using the interpretation that a "Boss" is the main antagonist, a sentiment which is confirmed nowhere. Oda could be using any definition of the word boss. Merry doesn't fit the conventional meaning of "Nakama" either, it's a boat.

she wasn't even that highly ranked next to Hogback for example.

She was Hogback's equal if that's even relevant.

I don't give a flying fuck what some milquetoast "everyones ideas are good" slab of white bread like you thinks about my flaming.

I don't think everybody's ideas are good. AGOG is retarded. But not everybody that doesn't see things my way is retarded.

No you're not butt hurt, your just an enabler helping this forum stuff some more drugs down it's cancer ridden throat.

And your remedy is just flaming them until they never post again. You've made it perfectly clear that it's exactly what you want.

I mean seriously, fuck off,

So you feel that you have the right to outright troll people, but nobody has the right to call you out on this? Why don't you try "fucking off" before you decide to post comments like "you're retarded" and walk away with a smirk thinking that you've done anything for the community through your rude post.

AGOG even gets this game, how don't you?

Because I have respect for people? I'm not really sure which "game" you're referring to, but I'm leaning towards finding somebody who is making 1 bad arguments, branding them an awful poster and flaming them until they leave the community.

If you want the dodgeballs replaced with pillows go to the creativity forum for your free smiley sticker.

I've been debating since I joined, I don't want everyone to get along and agree on everything. The fact that you see no middle ground between flaming people and patting them on the back is exactly my problem with you.

You pass your actions off as helping keep the community free of awful posters, yet the worst are still going strong, proving your actions ineffective. Also, the people you drive out are new members not used to debating. Seriously though, round of applause for always treating people like dirt.

@JERK:

Maybe because his interpretation is retarded.

Tell me what your interpretation of "boss" is that makes it any more valid than others. Honestly, some people might find your trolling of anybody you don't agree with and then branding them retards funny, however this act is wearing little thin on me. And no, I'm not "butt hurt" as people like to pin on anybody who is sick of you being an ass to people and getting treated like a god for it. I can't recall any time I've argued with you.

@Hiroy:

"I lived in this trash heap all my lie…"

Is that some kinda country accent?

No, it's some kinda typo.

@Verilance:

if you keep buying enough cereal boxes maybe you will get a sense of humour free inside…

No, I have one. It just ignores awful jokes.

I wonder whose not there to hear the story…

just saying...

Also, they didn't have a significant enough impact on him for him to actually remember anything about them.
