Okay the baseball was a new gag beyond the eyes, how about next Luffy uses paint to lead the Elders into hitting a wall, Road Runner style

I am very much enjoying how miserable Mihawk and Crocodile are....they NEED Buggy's appeal and now they definitely can't get rid of him

@Razh I know it's also reflective of how major One Piece battles have changed these days, but good lord I can't take anymore HUGE auras, lightning strikes, dbz sfx library

I'll give it up for the anime having moments that look good but the pacing still sucks that I don't think I'd regularly watch it ever again lol

ehhhhhh i guess I get what Sanji means but woof that phrasing.

Tetsu Inada (voice of Komamura and Love) was waiting a long time to do the heart of wolf scene

relevant new kubo art

Okay wow, I JUST saw that I was the one that started this thread waaay back when. I can't tell you the last time I did that.

Anyways I did get autobuild, and have just been strolling around doing whatever tickles my fancy. Got 11? whole hearts and 1.5 stamina wheels, i think 60 shrines completed in total. It's really hard to put the game down lol, every day I'm doing something.

Just completed the Mattison side quest.....sublime.

@Deicide Ahhhh, this is ringing bells now. I do think it was clever to basicially "disguise" the power level-y concept as something much more vague/having a regular word. I don't know how far he had planned it at that point, or rather, when did he get the idea for black limbs exactly.

But you know, be it Zoro cutting down Mr. 1 or Luffy figuring out Mr. 3's clones....it's one of those instances that could kinda be retrofitted for it, or even more explicitly retroactive, Skypiea and Mantra.

One of those things that you just lose when translating, unfortunately.

@access-timeco said in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part II: Do the Dio Walk!:

Joseph already appeared at the end of Jojolion and Araki recently said the next JoJo will be his descendant - so not him, sadly.

I'm kinda confused by this (not a manga reader and only know up to stone ocean). Like, THE Joseph or whatever the new universe Joseph's equivalent is?

I would like a second female jojo (specially since a non-Irene Jolyne would throw chaos into the fanbase), but really my biggest concern is that the JoJo goes by a nickname that can differentiate them like Johnny, so we don’t have another Josuke/Josuke scenario.

also this. Josuke (4!!!) is my favorite JoJo and it's a bummer being stuck in the shadow of the shinier, newer protag with the same name. Like Johnny vs Jonathan was at least a clever workaround.

@Shiebs Haven't played S/V yet but I knew I was going to miss anything traditional after Arceus. It was my Pokemon fix after skipping Gen 8, and even if it wasn't perfect, it still had a lot of great ideas that I hope Gamefreak refines in the future.

I'm glad at least S/V takes open world cues but I wish instead Arceus just had more time in the oven to be "the" Pokemon game of this year.

@Hades Interesting, thanks for posting.

Oda: I shifted Chopper’s role to a mascot character after hearing his voice in the TV Anime, even when I had a policy of not drawing mascot characters, but Ootani Ikue’s voice was too cute haha.

you mean to tell me we might've had a not totally chibified chopper if he was voiced by someone else??

@pariston_hill You know, that's a good way to put it. I've heard her in other roles, she has range (ex. Erza from Fairy Tail) but the high-pitched fun shonen mc voice she used has always been reserved for Luffy in my head.

If they went to the trouble of redubbing the OG Dragon Ball series I think my brain would get some psychic damage...

The weird thing is, I'm fine with Colleen voicing Gohan in Kai (since he's not AS predominant as adult Goku), it's just when I hear her voice used for kid Goku that it completely throws me off, it's too close to Luffy (voice AND being the main protagonist). Yes I know it makes no sense.

Interestingly enough Colleen also voiced #18 in the Kai dub but for everything else after (games, movies, Super), they got back her previous voice actress.

Yeah she doesn't appear as often so it's not as noticable but Misa Watanabe (Vivi) is now 60.....not as old as Dragon's or Shanks's VA but still.

Interesting that Oda puts "Land of Mystery" not "Land of Giants", that and the Luffy gear "error" makes me believe the hallucination theory...

Also very telling that when pressed multiple times about Jan 6, he still just dodges the question, saying it was Nancy Pelosi's fault(?)

"Would you veto a national abortion ban"
"well it wouldn't come to that"

also throwing JD Vance under the bus, lmao

@King-Cannon said in Vivre Card: One Piece Visual Dictionary:

Vivi's Vivre Card says she sleeps 12 hours a day, from 10:00 PM to 10:00 AM.

Just a fun trivia.

With all the worrying and risks she took for her country, she still manages t sleep that long?

good for her.

love that the character has completed the transformation from robotnik to full on-eggman.

@kevo_koma said in The Weight Of Elbaf:

We might get a Davy back fight with all four emperor's for the road poneglyphs

look i'm just saying, Oda showed us Foxy's still around, it's a sign

@Goukan said in Chapter 1124: Close Friend:

Yeah, Zoro's callousness doesn't get better with Stephen's translation. Congrats to all Zoro fans who just want him to be the edgiest of all edges.

Yeah I think it would've been better for Oda just to have a "....." panel.
