@alchipx:

. My guess is that he'll get the "armor" one down, be pretty good with "intimidation" Haki, and terrible with the "presence" haki. Luffy sensing the wrong thing all the time would be hilarious.

OAIEOIAEIOIEOA that would make for the best scene ever !!

And here lies the beauty of Oda's genius. Even if he has his characters power up over such a long period of time, there's still room to grow on the other end. We all know Luffy won't master Haki, Zoro won't defeat Mihawk without us witnessing the fight, Franky won't upgrade himself to become the ultimate pacifista, etc. etc.

There's two characters in the SH crew that I REALLY want to see after this timeskip and they are Zoro and Sanji. I pray to Gaara that Sanji won't turn into an okama and that he won't use okama kempo to the dot. By that I mean I hope he incorporates some of the okama kempo moves into his personal fighting style. I much prefer the name of his moves being based on his love to cook

I find the Mihawk / Zoro dynamic fascinating. I wonder if Kuma somehow foresaw this? He probably was only thinking about getting past the battle monkeys. Then again…he did witness Zoro fully willing to eat a big ball of pain for Luffy, so subjugating himself to get stronger was probably not a stretch.

Mihawk willing to take on Zoro as a student tells me a lot about Mihawk. He knows he's the man, and that no one can take him. It takes a supreme confidence in one's ability to personally train a guy who's stated goal is to beat you. I can't think of any situation (in manga or real life), where the best trains someone trying to beat the best. It's pretty fascinating. Plus, I suppose Mihawk realizes that if you aren't getting better, you're getting worse. Who better than Zoro as a sparring partner . I think Zoro knew all of this when he started begging. I'm really excited at how strong Zoro will be after 2 years.

Luffy is going to be a beast. A haki-infused beast. I predict herds of elephants going unconscious in 2Y. My guess is that he'll get the "armor" one down, be pretty good with "intimidation" Haki, and terrible with the "presence" haki. Luffy sensing the wrong thing all the time would be hilarious. Being proficient in all three types of Haki (even after 2Y) is too big of a power jump in my eyes (this isn't Bleach after all...ZING).

I see nothing wrong with a time jump. I don't remember One Piece focusing 4 weeks of chapters on training exercises like some other action manga. Two years underscores how difficult powering up is going to be for this crew. Also it is a good indicator of how F'ing epic the New World is. Bad guys aren't going to get any easier, and Luffy knows it.

Also looking forward to Sanji's and Franky's power up. I fully expect Sanji's first appearance to be in an Okama suit. I don't know if Robin will get much stronger, but her time with Dragon may be interesting story-wise.

My bet is that what he did with the toro of duval…

not devastating but calm but spirited... you know what i mean?

@robbybedfart:

Don't worry. Kabuto can always bring in Zombie Kisame now.

So I guess now we know which zombie will be used against the Mizukage.

The Gintama announcement is the DVD for the movie being released on 12/15.

Toriko in the top 3 again is a great thing and Sket in the top 5 is even better. It is nice that there is enough fodder on the bottom to save other series for a while.

Welcome to Arlong Park, hope you have fun. :3

@Chinascare:

Not true at all Galluna Island and the Phantom Lord arc were great and you never felt like Mashima was ignoring any part of the story and the Fighting Festival arc is probably the best arc in FT.
Tower of Paradise had a very good ending but the build up to it wasn't that great.

Fighting Festival was good until the last few chapters when Mashima dropped the ball, ironically ToP had the best build up of any arc thus far, it's quality has mixed reaction though

If him dropping the ball means ignoring minor characters in the guild to you then he would be guilty of that otherwise he knows how to plan his arcs out.

No, him dropping the ball has nothing to do with how he treats his side characters, him dropping the ball has to do with him getting bored halfway through and finishing an arc hatefully without any sort of build or correlation, same thing happened with Edoras, the last half was a complete wreck after he spend so much time world building in the first half.

@Chinascare:

hmmm typical ending to a fairy tail arc I liked the notion of behind the farewell though. Still think Mashima dropped the ball on some things.

There's never been an arc in which Mashima didn't drop the ball in one way or another

Kyoko is so cute though!! ._. I miss her. I'm mad I forgot her name.

It would have been really cool if Mukuro stayed a villain. I feel like I expected him to turn on Tsuna real soon instead of just joining him and not doing anything bad-guy like for the rest of his existence… :<

This is shounen.

Almost forgot, Marco looked sick in this episode. I think he is becoming one of my favorites thanks to the anime.

Re-watched…Really great episode. I've see 3 times already.

I'm still not used to Akainu's voice. :sad:

The only thing I would nit-pic about is the over use of still shots. But since the important scene got nice animation, I really don't mind them.

I really liked this chapter a lot. I love how the planned out the next five chapters of PCP and how everything is going to lead up to the end. The idea of a rival always works well.

I'm curious what they will make Akechi look like since they've only showed us a silhouette so far.

I also wonder if this rival will have a long term effect on the manga and if he will keep coming back to challenge PCP and try to figure out who they are.

I also loved how this chapters focus was the PCP storyline and we got to focus more on the Manga their are writing than just the story of their lives.

Looks like the stakes were raised this week.

This episode…is going to be epic :w00t:

Can't wait to watch it!
