I think it's because the only reason Luffy took them on the plunge is because someone goaded him into doing so.
Luffy and Law were perfectly fine taking the guaranteed and safe route, until Kidd mocked them.

That ego-driven decision had a strong statistical chance of killing the entire crew, after they already survived the scary raid.
He literally risked everyone's lives for no good reason, they could have died for nothing of importance.
So I actually understand that Nami has full rights to be extremely pissed.

I'm genuinely shocked that her actions are being associated with bossiness,
when this is actually the most justified she's been in a long time.

TL;DR: Luffy suffering a consequence for his buffoonery makes sense to me.
Buffoonery is entertaining to the reader, sure. But from the perspective of characters like Nami,
I can't be mad at her for throttling him.

I laughed my ass off imagining the future use this panel could get during elections.

Dunno if anyone's brought this up already,
but a part of me wonders if Chopper and Luffy are in the same group because they're BOTH Hito Hito users,
so they can both witness information at the same time if Luffy's fruit gets more discussion/elaboration.
Would be interesting to get Chopper's comments on it,
as someone who experimented with his own fruit and broke the three transformations rule.

I love when people get surprised at such statements from bands they never paid full attention to (lyrically).

"Since when were Rage Against The Machine political?"
"Since when were System of a Down political?"
etc

Now we can add "Since when were Dropkick Murphys political?"

Gee, I dunno!

"Don't scab for the bosses, don't listen to their lies
us poor folks haven't got a chance, unless we organize"

Now that the forums are back,
I guess I'll post a catchup:

Well, for me the main thing that's been happening post-TS is "Yeah there were some rough moments, but overall I liked or loved that."

But then Wano was like "There were moments I liked or loved, but overall that was rough."

Which is definitely a step down, but I'm hopeful that we'll now get back to "rough moments, but liked the overall arc".

A Minecraft server I'm in has started a community pixel art area,
and I'm the second person so far to try building something.
I made use of the freedom of space and built a giant SH skull!

It's the same as growing up and realizing Squidward has a point in most Spongebob episodes,
and is often justified in objecting to the idiocy going on around him.

Nami, due to the immense responsibility and burden she took upon herself from childhood,
to work with her own mother's KILLER no less, had to grow up and mature super fast.
She has always been in the best position to feel frustrated with the consequences of Luffy's childish carelessness.

it snowed today

the earliest snowfall the UK has had for 17 years

Black star FTW

and kidd stating his own cold killing intent was cool too.

Previously I was wondering what kind of path forward there could possibly be,
since Toga knew only prison or execution was in her future, but Ochako was insistent on turning things positive.

I was running all kinds of future scenarios through my head.

Now I see that I was overthinking it all along.
A self-sacrifice death like this actually does feel pretty fitting,
a bittersweet middle ground where Toga used her final act of free will to save her love.

Although (like other commenters here) I'd have liked to see an outcome that tackled the consequences and difficulties of the aftermath,
I do see what Hori may have been going for on a poetic level. I kinda respect it ngl.

Also have to say, these past few chapters had some great artwork too.
Hori put his heart into drawing this conclusion for sure.

He may not be the greatest of storytellers, but I will always give him credit for trying his best.
No matter where the story goes, I always feel the earnest effort from Hori radiating from the page.

@Nectar said in My Hero Academia II - A true Hero:

I like the emotional energy in this chapter. There is no easy answer to this dilemma, but Uraraka acknowledges that and still wants to make a connection. Also, Uraraka's quirk awakening was a nice surprise. A big thumbs up to the League of Villains flashback. I can watch them just hanging out all day.

^ Seconding all of this.

Also, Hori has definitely intrigued me here.
I'm very fascinated by the juxtaposition of Toga (realistically) thinking surrender will only lead to her execution, and this imagery of Ochako wanting to befriend her and even give her blood.

So... where are we heading, Hori?
I'm so curious.

@1234entak Thank you for this clarification.

All is good now. It makes sense now.

I turned it into a Discord emote from the second I saw it.

Also, I cringed more at the boomer trying to translate Camie's dialogue than the dialogue itself.

"No cap: A distinct lack of a hat? Who knows, honestly."

I can't tell if they're just making a joke or something,
because my God, I'm 31 and I know what fucking "no cap" means.

Cap/capping = Lies. Falsehoods. Fakery. Bullshitting. Usopp.
No cap = Straight up. No lies. Honesty. Being for real.

I genuinely thought that (almost) the ENTIRE internet knew this.

Yessssssssss!

Also, that close up of the squish was 10/10. Hilarious.

@Demon-Rin said in American Politics: A Brand New Day:

I wonder if PickMes like Buck Angel, Blaire White, and Caitlyn Jenner will still be on their side at that point?

EDIT: Disregard my previous text.
I misremembered past events, my bad.

Kaiolino got weirdly defensive over Anita Sarkeesian, not Blaire White.
