Hopefully the whole Yamato thing will be a hard-learned lesson for some users, no more gaslighting. I never felt that Yamato was written like a straw hat but it was a waste of time trying to discuss it here

RE: Chapter 1091: Sentomaru
Lucci technically needed clearance from the HQ to fight Luffy, they also gathered an unprecedented military force that far outclasses a buster call.
Seems like he's already considered as a proper emperor by the marines to me. -

I'm in "either crew's full or Vivi rejoin" camp

RE: Chapter 1091: Sentomaru
The obvious Sabaody parallels prevent any kind of hard defeat for Luffy and the straw hats in general, you gotta show it will never be like 2 years ago.
That said the series still has a few years left before it end, and I remember Oda saying in a interview that making the MCs too strong is bad for the story.
As of now many fans seem to believe Luffy is the strongest character in the verse after defeating Kaido, and will only get challenge against is nemesis or the king of the world.
While I don't see Luffy outright defeated, I see some kind of setback that will show that no matter how strong Luffy is, the road to the final saga won't be any easier.
KIzaru doesn't needs to be outright stronger to give Luffy troube, his abilities differ greatly from Kaido who was mostly a brute that relied on his brute force and tanking abilities.@Deicide said in Chapter 1091: Sentomaru:
Yes, I see no one taking Luffy lightly. Even Kizaru is taking this seriously.
These last panels is honestly the most intense I ever saw Kizaru lol

Or what if... Yamato was never mean to be a straw hat?

RE: Season 1 General Discussion
Finished the series 2 days ago, after some time to think about it, I can say that's it is one of the best live-action adaptations of a manga/anime, very promising for the future.
Outside the most common flaws, my biggest gripe comes from straw hats going through accelerated development arcs.
Usopp barely did anything in Syrup.
LA Sanji was very smooth and cool but cutting the Krieg fight and giving Gin a very minor role cut a lot of his development during Baratie, and while Nami was treated well overall, I feel that (albeit still enjoyable) Arlong Park was rushed.I understand nor wanted them to do a 1:1 adaptation, and these "complaints" won't apply to One Piece newbies but it did bother me.
I still give it a good 7/10

RE: Chapter 1058: New Emperors
I was starting to believe that I was tired of One Piece, but I simply had a heavy case of Wano fatigue.
I really enjoyed this chapter.One of my biggest gripes with current One Piece is how Luffy is turning into some kind of god-like long-awaited prophetic figure. I like G5 in itself, but man oh man I still can't accept that Nika/Joyboy stuff. To me Luffy still works the best as that silly rubber kid from some random East Blue village
So even as a gag, seeing that messiah-like figure looking like a terrified little puppy in front of his angry navigator after that stunt he pulled... I loved it! No matter how powerful Luffy become, he's still that dumb and reckless kid that gets keep in check by Nami.And I totally dig Jinbe obliviousness to the crew's antics, like not knowing that you should stay away from an angry Nami or not understanding why Sanji is reacting this way to the bounty.
I completely agree that Crocodile's bounty seems to high... But if I'm allowed to be biased... i don't care xD. He has always been one of my favorite antagonists and I really enjoyed him in ID/MF too, so I'm glad he gets to be relevant. Never imagined him as loan shark, but it feels so well. Dude always that mobster vibe.
Mihawk being known as the "Marine Hunter" in contrast to Zoro "Pirate hunter" is interesting. I'm really looking forward to their rematch.
I would say "Poor Buggy" but knowing his luck the situation will turn to his advantage lol.
Cross Guild is such an unexpected but welcome group.

RE: One Piece anime remake by Wit Studio
I know people that are interested in One Piece but don’t feel like getting into a 2 decades old series with over 1000 episodes, this is good.
Isn’t this the first time we have a remake while the base series is still going on, though? -
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
@Greg
I read from sandman that Hibari and Akainu speak the same japanese dialect
Is Oda implying the two are related in a way or this is looking too much into it? -
RE: Chapter 1058: New Emperors
That super tough and powerful guy who beat the world strongest creature and just became a new emperor , one of the greatest pirates in the world...
...is being brought to his heel by his relatively frail navigator.
The entire situation is absurd, from Luffy staying in the cage when he could break out at any moment to Jinbe being more intimidated by Nami than Big Mom. This is totally over the top.
And that's the whole comedy. You're supposed to be like "Damn, Nami is that terrifying when angry? xD" no "damn no fun allowed bitch!".Also IMO it's actually one of the most justified moments of scolding Nami in the series.
Her role has always been to watch out for the crew safety on the sea (something she takes very seriously), and Luffy showed complete disregard for it out of the blue despite there being a safe route they all agreed to take, for no other reason than cheap dick waving contest. It'll be really odd if she let that slide. They may owe Luffy loyalty, but he owes them protection.Funnily (coming after this chapter) Nami actually mellowed out a lot with the crew lol. Most of her scoldings now are a direct reaction to Luffy/Sanji doing something stupidly irresponsible /perverted or saying something insensitive, the actual bosiness not that much. Been a long time since Zoro actually got bossed around.
But everyone has their own sensibilities, I for one am not fan to how exaggerated Sanji perverted gags became after Enies Lobby (though it became better from WCI), so not trying to lecture anybody on what comedy they should like. But Oda likely had a lot of fun drawing this scene lol.

Hoping we'll get some clashes with the crew now that VAs are back in action...

RE: Volume 108 Predictions/Discussion
@Captain-M
I actually found one case
Rebecca had brown eyes on Vol.71 and Vol.72 and green eyes on Vol.80 to go back to brown for Vol.90
In B&W it doesn't really matter but I wonder how the colored manga will handle it once they catch up to Egghead? I'd prefer if they keep the colors they already picked for Bonney, maybe it's just my problem but sudden change are jarring to me. -
RE: Volume 108 Predictions/Discussion
Is this the first time Oda changes the eye color of an etablished character?

RE: Chapter 1107: I've Been Looking For You!!
How about Bonney using distorted future : Nika on her father too?
Kuma told Saturn back in God Valley and to Bonney that he wants to be like Nika, I feel we're heading to a Nika father-daughter combo on Saturn.
I still think Luffy's opponent in this arc is Kizaru, Sanji might get another moment next chapter but I doubt Oda will have him blatantly outdo Zoro who has been struggling for over 10 chapters against a pre-ts enemy, even if Lucci is arguably the most competent villain right now.Saturn IS the main villain of Egghead, but I feel Oda is not setting up Luffy vs Saturn properly. They met and clashed for the first time in this chapter and it kinda happened randomly in the middle of it with Saturn being sent flying the page after it started. Eh.
In comparison, the beginning of the first round of Luffy vs Kizaru was built up first by having a cliffhanger of Luffy's reacting strongly to Kizaru's power then the following chapter ending with another cliffhanger of Luffy and Kizaru facing each other. -
RE: Chapter 1106: On Your Side
I believe Egghead easily has 15 chapters left, I feel Kizaru would have stayed dazed on the ground if the arc was going to end quickly after the flashback

RE: How much time do you think is left before One Piece ends?
I don’t see Oda as being actually capable of rushing the final saga even if he wants the series to end. Series is not ending before 2028.

RE: Chapter 1093: Luffy vs. Kizaru
While I’m enjoying Kizaru’s display I don’t like how Luffy has left him alone with his friends like 3 times in the span of 2 chapters.
Kizaru was alone with Bonney/Franky after kicking Luffy away
Then with Vegapunk at the end of the previous chapter where he wasted time talking instead of going for the kill straight away.
Then had Usopp in a chokehold this chapter.It feels the reason why everyone is safe has more to do with Kizaru’s personality (only care about his mission) than Luffy being able to protect them.
-
RE: Chapter 1091: Sentomaru
I wonder if the light gloves that were introduced at the beginning of the arc will be relevant? Them being used against Kizaru would imply Luffy is either losing this round or that it is geting interrupted at least.
Or we got another fake chekhov's gun
