RE: CNN: Anime, Pirating & The Economy (with One Piece)
Yeah, that was kinda weird how they slipped in One Piece without giving any context to the viewer that it was a pirate anime. Still, I feel bad for watching RAWs off Youtube now.
I don't feel bad at all, in fact it makes me more likely to watch RAWs on Youtube or where ever. Just like those bs anti-pirating movie ads they have now. They find the lowest paid people and try and push their suffering on us, but do you honestly think they would be any better off if there was zero pirating at all. While I guess they might make a few cents more a year they won't be any better off at all. These grunts will always be on the lowest rung of the food chain, the last to get a raise and the first to get a cut in pay. Even now they are used to try and drum up support against pirating when it will only help the fat cats in charge. It is the way cooperate capatilism works.

RE: Veritas
I thought he explained it well enough. He fell in love with Vera when they were kids, seeing here vulnerable and in the shadow of her sister. He tried to help her and that is why he was part of their little group, but Vera was to perfect. She was a perfect beauty, perfectly impartial… perfectly indifferent. It made him hate her, she was just to good at everything, but he still loved her. He only tried to "rape" her to get a reaction from her, something, anything, just a reaction but not even that could get her to really notice him. It is unrequited love and just as you can love someone and hate someone that is what they have, just amplified for manga effect. I actually love the complexity of the relationships and the story.

RE: Veritas
well I doubt he is dead, for an illusionist there should always be doubt. I think he was playing a part to get that kiss he has been (Joke time) dieing for :P .

RE: Defense Devil
Good series with reasonable amount of action and good art. I'm sticking to it since I went into a small Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro withdrawal of the sort.
man I think that was exactly the reason I got into this one lol. I have liked it, sometimes I think its slow despite there being a lot of action around so I guess thats a bad sign but I think I like it.

RE: Naruto Discussion V [Re-Re-Redux]
I think Sasuke should fall while just walking on some stairs and DIE; exactly like what happened to Kuina. Someone comes to Naruto tells him the people die speech and everyone walks away without any of this bs drama or worring over a freakin traitor.

RE: Veritas
I am starting to really enjoy Veritas. It still has a dumb ass as the main character which I find all to common ( Yes unfortunately I even tire of Luffy's dumb assness most of the time) but I think the story is very intelligent. Although I don't know the entire story or background I like how there are no real bad guys, no real evil, just different shades of circumstance. I really enjoy stories where they treat the audience as adults were there are no absolutes and everyone is good and everyone is evil, creates far more suspense than the usual I am purely good and my enemy is purely evil bs that we get most of the time. Probably why I like One Piece, has I think it fits well with my taste of no absolutes.

RE: Fairy Tail
how many times does this donkey Gerard or Sieg Hart whatever you want to call him need to die? I feel like he is the Ubermensch or Akumetsu of Fairy Tail.

RE: 411: ''The Secret Hidden on Their Backs - Luffy Encounters the Snake Princess''
the animation reminded me of the 6th movie, especially the fish hat water scene. Probably baseless just what crossed my mind when I saw that.
-
RE: Psyren
I mean I think its obvious he was looking at the ring and she can see that so she is just teasing him. If you didn't know teasing is definitely flirting if you are talking about lusting after ones body. Basically means, please lust after my body big boy, bowchickawowwow.
-
RE: 411: ''The Secret Hidden on Their Backs - Luffy Encounters the Snake Princess''
I honestly dont have a clue what any of you guys are talking about! Every episode of One Piece just looks the same to me and the only difference ive noticed in animation in the 411 episodes of One Piece ive watched is the switch to HD halfway through!
XD
I more or less agree that I can't really tell the difference in animation that much but there was one episode recently, forget which but I think it was the one before the Human Auction of Camie. Anyways all the noses looked super weird, and it was really distracting.
-
RE: Psyren
I think its funny to call them the kids when as they stated they are older than the mains now lol. As for that chick being a bitch, I don't know seems like she is hitting on him to me.

RE: Chapter 552 "Ace and Whitebeard" Discussion
@Brave:
no, this is the biggest battle so far in op, i don't think a flashback will cover it. so many battles.
Because there are so many battles is another reason why I think it has to take place in flash back. It is a freakin war, only by getting the flash back of the individual characters as Luffy runs into them will we get to fully appreciate the epiciness of the battle. To just shove it all in at once might be awesome but it might be to much of a good thing and the small things that make one piece the best will be lost.
-
RE: Chapter 552 "Ace and Whitebeard" Discussion
ok I will join in on the predictions for next chapter. I will divide it by points.
1st; it will not have the "war" in it at all
2nd; Luffy and crew will show up and find a wasteland where the battle used to be but no dead bodies or weapons
3rd; It will involve a revolutionary back storyI believe that the war will not be shown in real time so that there can be the tension of not knowing if Whitebeard/ Ace will die or not.

RE: Chapter 551 Yonkou "Whitebeard" Discussion
man I hate short chapters I always feel immense suspense and seeing as this chapter was about 72 pages to short I am dieing for next week already.

RE: The Last Airbender movie sucks
oh I know what the fire nation was based off of, I was saying what my interpretations were, rightly or wrongly. And based on my interpretations I would not have been upset with the casting of lets say an all white Fire Nation but to white wash 80% of the cast except for the fire nation as the evil guys I think is definitely racial.
-
RE: The Last Airbender movie sucks
Has this website been posted yet here? Searching for it in the thread didn't bring up any results.
I was only notified of this site a few weeks ago, and actually forgot about it along with this thread. <.< Looks like many more people are just as upset.
LOL ya I thought the exact same thing but I forget if I posted it here or another forum. But basically I always saw the fire nation as the english with their superior technology and imperialistic natures and yes they even looked rather white in comparison. Earth kingdom seems like China, I mean the great wall had to give it away. Air Nomads seemed like India or Tabet. And Water Tribes seemed like Eskamos at least the southern while the northern I guess could almost be russian. Anyways I think switching to make the whities the good guys and darkies the bad guys is clearly racial.

RE: 410: "Everyone's Drunk on Love! Pirate Empress Hancock"
seems to me like pacing is entirely dependent on content rather than the other way around so who cares if something takes longer than another thing, in Oda I trust.
-
RE: Veritas
well I read everything up on onemanga and I must say maybe its the cleaners but I thought the drawings were very good. And the girls are almost to angelic to even be attractive, like simply flawless.
-
RE: Marco vs. Augur
I hate Van Augu's character, design and personality. I mean who doesn't even react to deadly poison to the face, that isn't badass that is stupid. Therefore even though marco is a relative unknown he must be better by default.
-
RE: Mihawk vs. Jinbei
I like Mihawk, he does what he wants when he wants. He's the kind of character that seems neither good nor bad, just following his own mysterious ideals, and that ambiguity is interesting. Besides, I can never get over his using a little pocket knife to fight Zoro, saying that he is not the kind of idiot who would use his all to fight a rabbit. Nice.
Jimbei, I don't dislike and his fighting abilities are formidable but his personality has been… nonexistent? I mean, I guess he's honorable but there's really not much else to him right now.
My vote goes to the world's greatest swordsman.
He kills people for pleasure, a lot of people. How does that not meet a common definition of evil? Morality is not a constant thing but mass murderer for pleasure, that is a pretty consistent axiom I think we can judge upon.

RE: Next Crew Member Speculation (Ver 3.0)
The Strawhats are essentially a crew of underdogs, that's why a shichibukai joining doesn't make sense. Hancock especially would be a bad idea since we already have an older, refined woman in the crew. She'd bring nothing new but a crush on Luffy, which would only result in extra tiresome Sanji antics…
you know it has a lot of holes but I think I like this reasoning of the underdogs best for why a god won't join the strawhats.

RE: Bakuman
oh it didn't get canceled? I always just suspected it did with the lack of quality of the last chapters and the sudden ending. And also I see what you mean about it being typical, I concede the point.
-
RE: Bakuman
u dont like death note must be too smart for u
doubtful but this isn't a discussion about how horrible Death Note was or how stupid its fan base had to be not to see it. This is a discussion about Bakuman and I just wish they didn't have to cater to the idiot fringe of their fan base like Makaino Koji as I think Bakuman has entirely its own merits. I did read a few reviews that think its boring and lacks action but I guess that is the whole point of the story isn't it, very reflective and enlightening.
-
RE: Shaman King Chapter Kang Zeng Bang
man this brings to mind the old phrase of lipstick on a pig
-
RE: Bakuman
man I didn't even want to give Bakuman a try really because the only thing anyone had to say was that it was from the creators of Death Note. Even this thread feel victim to it. Now I hated Death Note as it was crass randomness wrapped in pseudo intellectualism. But I broke and read it today and like Money and Intelligence even though it isn't typical jump material I like it. So glad its nothing like Death Note.

RE: Benn Beckman vs. Paulie
Beckman! I just can't not vote for the guy because of this show.

RE: Why your Religion is False?
It's an absurd claim to make though; or at least a horrible example to use. Regardless of what Hitler said in Mein Kampf or some propaganda, he was not a Christian. His perspective and misinterpretation of the Bible alone are enough to conclude that the idea of him being a practicing Christian is ridiculous. Just because someone claims they are something, doesn't make it so. I have seen you call people out for similar claims before due to their skewed perspective on what that something is and/or for lacking the proper knowledge or ability to even comprehend what they are claiming. Simply put, he was using the Bible and the religious practices of the nation (Catholic/Christian, right?) to fuel his own belief's and actions.
-10 respect points brennen usually your argument style is very crisp but I guess only on onepiece are you a genius, this is some old bs. Hitler was as Christian as any other so called believer. If your evidence against it is that he has a different perspective of the bible than what you or many others well that is just to bad and no justification at all. I assume you probably claim to be Christian based on your defense and I bet I could find any number of things that would disqualify you(assuming the above was true if not it doesn't matter and just replace the you noun as one) or anyone else as a good Christian in some groups eyes. The entire thing is subjective and changes from region to region from time to time. If your evidence is that he said bad things about Christianity well so did Mother Teresa and she is on the fast track to sainthood. It just goes to my point that it is entirely subjective and if we accept anyone who says that they are Christian as Christian than we must accept the fact the Hitler was Christian. If you want cites I will provide them but I was running long and didn't want to hurt your preconcieved notions to much as I do respect your posts on one piece lore.

Gotta Vote Spanda, sure I hate the guy but the contrarian in me just won't let me vote for the obvious winner

I don't think its that people hate Vivi its just we have already seen this match up, and vivi got her butt handed to her http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/170/18/

RE: Jaguar D. Saul vs. Gecko Moria
I like Saul a lot and what he did for robin but I am voting for Moria because Saul is either dead or rotting away in prison and didn't even want to escape with Luffy.

RE: Chapter 542: "Another Event To Soon Be Told" Discussion
a fair point junte86 and you have convinced me, btw props to the guy that guessed that Blackbeard would randomly show up just to be a dick, I remember thinking what the heck that would be random.

how could richie possibly win, I would vote pwn goat over richie.

holy crap new chapter is already up on onemanga

RE: Alvida vs. Van Augur
I am voting for Alvida, we don't know much about Van Augur but I am pretty sure any bullet would just slip off of Alvida. And as one could tell when she took over buggies old crew she is a true captain with leadership and intelligence, she will definitely beat a psychopathic fate obsessed Sniper who could do her no damage at all.

RE: Which Devil Fruits are we going to see in the future?
I don't think anyone mentioned this.
Mochi Mochi no Mi: User becomes sticky. He also is able to secrete a gluey, gelatinous substance that doesn't come off (for a while).
Hehe. I imagine this user getting into several name calling quibbles with Luffy, and always losing.LOL, I love your idea
-
RE: Which Devil Fruits are we going to see in the future?
i thought that BB's yami yami fruit was logia, but the logianess of it was to absorb the hit like anyone else.
I don't think there is a given reason why the yami yami fruit is logia, but I assume it was because oh its ability to prevent the broken ability of other logia users and my theory suggests that the PK PK fruit would be able to do the same.
-
RE: Which Devil Fruits are we going to see in the future?
I think one of the next fruits we will see and it will be akainu's, will be the PK PK fruit. It will grant the user Psychokinesis which will enable Akainu to walk into a room and kill people with a random pebble on the ground and hence the red dog nick. The fruit would also be like a sister fruit to Blackbeards in that it will be a logia but the user cannot turn into any element. It will be a logia because like the yami yami it can prevent logias from turning into their element through the use of telekinesis to hold their body and shape in place.

RE: Chapter 529 "Beast Hell" Discussion
I forget who but someone posted a very plausible explanation about why ace and company are on level 6, I will go look for it in the spoilers to give proper credit

RE: Chapter 505 "Kuma" Discussion
lawl at random avatar reference, and I agree that the panel shows law with 6 fingers and that it was a mistake. However I can already see the explanation, that he is "borrowing" a finger from one of the marines lol.

RE: Chapter 504 "Pirates Front Lines Moving"
rhetorical questions always refer to the preceeding statement(s). So it reads… Ace imprisoned. Isn't he one of white beards strong guys? the rhetorical question meaning, how did one of WB's top guys get captured. He then says (in that translation) the WG just pulled one hell of a card. I was using stephen's cause from my understanding his is the most accurate. I don't know if you play cards are not but in the event that you do, its like playing war. And someone puts down the king of spades. Thats a very high card. But i put out the Ace of spades. Your saying that me having the King of spades is my trump card, The Ace is still the trump card though because it is the card that trumped the king.
the one on onemanga says it pretty point blankly.
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/486/03/ : "Ace was such a famous elite who served whitebeard. The world government must have found themselves a trump card."
Your welco
you my friend have convinced me. For a while I have seen these arguments and thought surely the card they are talking about is ace and its a play on words but I see your point clearly now. It would take a trump card to beat an ace. Well played sir and I concede the point.
-
RE: Will There Be People Near the End of the Grand Line?
I agree that their will be people on raftel and they will be of an advanced civilization that is left over from before the world government. Roger's is the only one to make it because he was the only one who could read the ancient language and was strong enough to make it to that point. The people on the island are fearful of the outside world because they could represent the world government and roger's proved himself through the ancient language, and thus was allowed onto the island. Thats my theory.
-
RE: Ideas for what you think final arc. will be
I think there is a possible "ending" in which luffy doesn't become the pirate king and that is if he pulls a shanks and sacrifices himself to save the next d.
-
RE: Who defeated Roger? My Theory around the entire series (but it isn´t a dumb one)
Wait a gosh darn second before we start things we have no backing for, 1st why do we assume that garp and dragon are related? Personally I think its 50/50 whether he is dragons father or luffys moms father. I found where it mentions that garp is dragon's father but really it is just something the marines are shouting and just like many of us have they could be merely jumping to conclusions. (http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/432/17/ check it out yourselves and see)
2nd, where oh where did we get any evidence that dragon was an ex-marine because I am pretty sure I would remember that little pearl. -
RE: Chapter 477 "3/8" Discussion
Well at least luffy wasn't as stupid as we were made to believe in an earlier chapter as it made it seem like he was just chasing a shadow but infact he had caught the real moria, its just moria did his switch thing and escaped. And I agree with the assessment that energy level continues to rise, it is quite impressive.
