Okay, so Oda addressed that Tama is a Kurozumi, that Hiyori’s final line about burning was meant to address Orochi only, but leaves open the possibility of Kurozumi hatred in the future…

Given the discussions had here about that line When it came out, I’m glad Oda addressed the fact that discrimination might still exist on the Kurozumi, and that while Hiyori might have not meant the line to bear no ill will on the bloodline, it could still be interpreted like that for some of the folks out there.

Luffy did goofy stuff yes, but he always treated fights seriously. Nowadays (this chapter and a Wano chapter vs Kaidou), he’s straight up saying he’s fighting for fun.

@hideoushorrendous said in Chapter 1116: Inner conflict:

I still finds it odd how Vegapunk knows about a hidden island that bears the complete history. was that also covered by Ohara scholars ? damn they uncovered a lot. this piece in particular is new. I thought only Rayleigh and the others had access to this.

This is a good point. Tangentially related, how does Vegapunk know the Roger Pirates know the Complete True History? There are a lot of assumptions being done here unless he talked to a former Roger Pirate.

Was this posted here yet? Translated Chronicles of Uta

Oden wasn’t using his family name to make the burning pun. And like you said in context Oden was using the pun as an act of heroism. In chapter 1057, it’s a besmirching of a family name with a people known to like to burn things they hate cheering it on. That’s the crowd/play turning the pun into an act of condemnation.

Just seems like Tama’s potential role of using the pun and turning it on its head would be in context when the Wano people try to burn her for holding the Kurozumi bloodline. That’s the implication people seem to be getting from the scene.

Does Tama not deserve to blaze a new path?

Wait, you've mentioned this twice now. Is Tama officially a Kurozumi and I missed the information hidden somewhere, or is her lineage hypothetic ? (I do admit Kurozumi Tama would work very well to mend both ends in the future, regardless)

It’s a popular theory given Tama’s parents gravestones looked like they had the Korozumi family name written. Not confirmed yet though.

@realtenchu I don’t think he talked to Rayleigh. Rayleigh was willing to say the whole truth to Robin if she asked. Feel like if Vegapunk was given that same opportunity he would have taken it and learned everything he could.

I’m betting this is more just a plot hole than anything, but another option is Robin told Vegapunk the Roger Pirates knew everything. It lends credence to the idea that this is a livestream of some sort if Robin provided that info and have everything be consistent, but again, think it’s just a plot hole or an assumption on Vegapunk’s part given it’s seemingly common knowledge the Road Poneglyphs lead to Laugh Tale and the Roger Pirates ended up there, so they probably found all four Road Poneglyphs and therefore knew how to read Poneglyphs, therefore they could have found out all the secrets of the Void Century, or something.

One thing I never posted when Green Blood was introduced was way back in Sabaody pre timeskip when Drake said the Pacifistas still bled red, I wonder if Oda knew back then about the concept of Green Blood and Drake realized these weren’t the final version of the super weapons.

@Kishido said in Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 10 - Egghead):

Vivi will be the last. She will get Kuma's fruit. Loved the new opening seeing Vivi with the Paw Fruit transition.

Alabasta Sea Cat theory for the win

Dunno if you’re trolling or really didn’t see it, but the opening was a transition to Vivi then to Bonney and that showed Bonney putting her hands in Kuma’s paw memories.

@electricmastro so Bonney was looking for Nika in order for him to save her dad according to the latest chapter. How do you think things will be impacted once she learns Luffy has the Nika fruit?

Because the way I think things can play out, either Luffy doesn’t save Kuma, and Bonney’s faith in Nika gets shattered, or Luffy miraculously does and now Bonney and Kuma get their happily ever after.

Yeah, see, New World knowledge is crap. Did not recall the conversation Jinbe gave to his crew at all.

What I recall more are the pages after

His life choices were always about doing things for other people. Feel like it’s more meaningful if he was doing this for himself and not for the Fishmen. Though I guess the two aren’t mutually exclusive.

Still wanna gush about The Wild Robot. Learned that the story actually stuck fairly closely to the source material for a change. Also learned the books have two sequels that can be adapted so would hope this becomes a franchise. I mean, bummed that the Dreamworks Animation studio in CA seemed to have shut down so dunno how consistent the styles to a possible sequel would be…but still hopeful.

Also been vibing to the songs that did play in the movie. Usually not a fan of songs with lyrics in a film, but the one that did play was cozy, and the end credits song just hits for me.

Agreed. The Wild Robot is top tier. Cried multiple times to it. Don’t even wanna get into it, think going into it blind is worthwhile.

Panel’s running a bit behind, but this script read released with a tease of Chopper (honestly after watching it a few times I’m leaning more towards CGI, but I guess it could be a puppet?)…

Find it funny it was released ahead of the reveal in the Geeked Week Panel proper

Supposedly Matt Owens did fight to not skip arcs instead of skipping arcs and ending on Alabasta. Which arcs are unknown…

@desa you’re forgetting Loguetown, plus whatever expansion might occur to give season 2 a through line similar to the Marines plot in season 1

Given charithra chandran is heavily expected to be Vivi, I’d say Cobra’s casting is solid.
