Naoya while a chauvinistic pig has also been in the shadow of whatshisname, megumi’s dad, so Maki being a woman and using the style of the man who put him in his place, and if mr dad followed the rules would have been the next head, or at least another monster I can’t remember if the divine restriction made them unelegible for the position, is a double whammy of humiliation, and him standing “with them” is at least deadbeat dad, no idea who are the others but I’d bet on Gojo.

It worked for nearly 800 years and any effort on covering it up raises suspicion, it was the unraveling after roger, of actual cover ups instead of complete ignorance, that have had the cascade effect.

No problem, I get lost with this series a lot, now that sumo guy uses something that should have been domain expansion (wacky rules sealed space) but they called it the mini domain thing, simple domain, that shouldn’t be this fancy or have time compression.

I’m also at a loss on if these people are sorcerers, sealed artifacts activating on random people, or idunno what, internet keeps telling me the second but I don’t get the vibe out of them of the other artifact resurrections, specially with how wacky they are. They feel like randos who won powers by accident to me.

Wano has like 5 layers of protection, zou has been impossible to attack until Kanjuro betrayed them, and even then they didn’t even know that the phoneglyph was there, just raizo and momo, the fishman island is the odd one out; but considering the location, if anyone who they didn’t want to know ever found it it was just a “catastrophic descompression” away from removing all evidence, and considering how praline controls the survey slugs I wouldn’t underestimate a similar lockdown of undersea snail comms to avoid just that.

The one that was relatively exposed was big moms, and we don’t know where that one was before. Probably gods valley either in their hands originally, or right under their noses, easy to be either, where they felt safe or where they would never look.

The strongest knowledge based power we have seen, has been the looking fruit of Viola, and that seems to be limited to one island. Meaning that whomever gets the mission to find the phoneglyphs would have to travel to all the worlds islands, and do the perimeter sweep for the area of the fruit. No way to locate zou, wano might as well be completely out of the range of the fruit, and depending on how the user can see stuff not even locate the tunel, good luck setting foot in whole cake, and wasn’t the park in the actual sea floor instead of the island?

Idunno the world is big enough, and in 800 years only one person has managed to get the info, and they needed toki, Oden and who knows what else to pull it off, the original measures seemed safe enough. It is the unraveling caused by roger that they have failed to contain.

I knew it. Your reaction during the Brazil trailer thing was “this is my baby”, but I had predictions (non digital ones) about this since you started being shifty-er.

I am very selfish, yes.

Congratulations Greg, you are living the dream!

@Jabberwok:

It's a can of worms Oda opened up back in Marineford, but it would have come up anyway. Take Baby 5 and Mr. 1: one can turn into a blade and the other is made of swords. Who could cut who? Could Alabasta Zoro cut Baby 5?

Seems pretty reasonable to address, even before he started recycling powers.

How in the world would something that can't ever happen (600 volumes ago Zoro) be relevant to address? How could he address it in the story in a way that doesn't reek of fanwankery? We will never know if Enel can hurt efectively Haki users, rendering his newfound weakness mostly void, we don't need a pokemon element table for logias for who can hurt whom, specialy if these characters won't ever interact.

The only stupid recycle is the Ton fruit, the others are powers in the same category, that can do the same that the other, but better, but with little actual relation to eachother. Besides, there are situations where one can be better than another, both Monet and Ace are a lot more mobile and maleable in their element form than the admirals, and while Baby 5 has shown a terminator 2000-like ability to reform after she exploded herself, one could asume that she is practicaly a "weapons logia" and hard to hurt, but if not, then the full metal body of Mr1 is better defensively.

The annoying part of this reveal is that.. we knew it already. Wano and Lulusia and Water 7. It felt known. The good part of the reveal is that now the world knows, they are on a timer.

That is the thing, everyone kept assuming god was all powerful and the master rules commanded the world, but it means that the world is not set up for that, but god makes it seem that way because it is convenient for him. Only a handful, (untouch, maybe unfeel, untell, unsleep, unluck, unhealthy) of negator abilities are truly awful, most of them are a mild annoyance that would be handled correctly if their tragedy was prevented, think more cyclops than rogue. This was the theme of the whole loop, these cursed bodies weren’t as cursed as they seemed.

The inheritance rules were still set by god or Luna as a game.

I would have loved for Yor to no-sell also an aspect of the genere, as Anya/Bond can just know everything and Lloyd do everything, I was a little annoyed that she didn’t spook a bear away that was dangerously close to the cabin or something.

But then who has the “memory rewrite” ability? The grandpa?

I think it’s going to be a mix of union and under, for sure we have change, luck and sick. Things like truth, death, knowledge, maybe justice, faith and fair depending on how integral rules are to the system.

I love that they forced the sun to be at night.

The gravity of the sun should have smooshed them tho. Assuming the suits can manage heat and radiation and a magnetic field that at that intensity probably could damage them.

Change can mean so many things, evolution, passage of time, decay (that is under spoil tho)

Make your list, who is next, satan for messing directly with the priest and the fallout of the Imuri reveal? Sloth being the obvious one? Or Lucifer because he gets impatient?

I miss shokugeki no soma when it was good. I loved the part of “use undraw in the umami “ “what is umami???”

Let’s talk wings.

Clearly the Lunarian and Seraphin wings are biological in nature, but has it ever been any indication of the shandian, Skypean or Bilikan wings being something they are born with as well?

I ask because, does big mom has a winged ex or child? If she didn’t, and Uroge showed up to her door, then she would list 4 tribes she needed to complete her harem, unless the Uroge incursion went completely hidden from her, you’d think she’d want a piece of that or mark the sky tribes in her black book as “seen” instead of caught.

So either big mom network dropped the fact that Uroge had wings, or the wings are a kind of accessory, also supported by Enel’s drums.

I imagine that big mom was looking still for giant, lunarian and bucaneer. I do wonder how she failed to get a giant husband tho, there was Saul island as well at least .
