Lmao denji think he turned the bike into chainsaw

@Cinder said in Jujutsu Kaisen:

Edit: Oh, I see that online people are losing their minds over Gojo saying "No." instead of "Nah, I'd win." and calling for firing the translator. LOL, such devastation.

They actually changed it

@QueenTangerine3 said in Jujutsu Kaisen:

At least we're back to yuji and co.
Gojo being released is looming closer and closer.
Gege's zeroing in on the final battles w/ Sukuna and kenjaku. Hopefully cutting off any new participants means cutting down on any more unnecessary battles.

I think this also includes Gojo, so this means even if Gojo is freed he will be trransported outside immediatly.

Who do you hope it will be? There's no buildup for any character so brace for impact

Reminds of the mentalist where people kept piling theories on red john identity lol

I like the power up, its really creative, fun and powerful, its also a great continuation to Luffy's growth as it builds up on everything he learned before and raise it to extreme levels.

I don't like the association with gods and Joy Boy. Then again it doesn't make sense for a random rubber fruit to be this powerful after awakening, so I can forgive this part.

All in all, excellent development.

In hindsight, of course we can pick and tear apart things to improve the story, as we have the luxury to look at the big picture and how the story flowed and see what worked and what did not.

@theackwardstation:

The only thing I'm not super into is this all white design. I guess the idea is that Luffy is shining as white as the Sun. Anyway, I still haven't seen a fanart that makes me love this colorization, so I'm waiting for the official colored/anime version.

I'm assuming in the anime he will be drawn like a literal manga character

@Monquito:

If Awakening is indeed achieved by a near-death experience, that would explain why Kaido and Linlin never made it, since they both are unkillable.

Newgate wouldnt be interested.

The new generation certainly is taking things to the next level.

How do you know that? They didn't reach to where they are now without going throughout near death experiences.

@Kdom:

Honestly I think the discussion would be as much interesting without the spoiler thread. If anything everyone would discuss of the chapter at the same time. It is quite a shame that people like Captain M who are faithful to the official release get only the short stick of the discussion
Also it would avoid the toxicity of some spoiler discussions even if wolfwood likes it when it is a mess :-)
But as long as people still continue to read the scan instead of the official release there is no point in wishing for it.

If you remove the spoiler threads all what would happen is that people would move on from this site and discuss the chapter elsewhere.

No one is dropping spoilers or unofficial release for the sake of this site lmao

@hideoushorrendous:

A lot of complains regarding a possible personality change to Luffy

Why no one questioned the case of Cavendish/Hakuba ? It's still out there with zero explanation to date!

In fact i would love to see a personality change, Luffy has been officially defeated in the war so it's time for the other side of the coin to flip and witness the beginning of the end to the story, if not now then when ? Kaido is the strongest in the world, all other enemies are levels below him so it's definitely the perfect time for this reveal combined with the liberation of Wano it couldn't get any better than this.

Because in case of cavendish that's his entire gimmick, his character is built around the 2 personality disorder. And it's been there since the character introduction.

This case with Luffy is different, I hope you can see how it is different.

Finally good news

@Kdom:

Well I hope that it makes Oda realize that writing 2 years arc long which focus on hundreth of new characters is not really what really appeal readers anymore.

2 years would've been fine.

Wano is approaching its FOURTH year now, its already over 3.5 years long.

At some point you just get sick of it. Move on already

@MDL:

One of the best scenes was when Atomic Samurai tested him with the apple.
The bullshit meter was beyond broken in that exchange, and I loved it so much.

which chapter is this? I don't remember the interaction

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

So I just checked and it appears this is another spoiler from the webcomic..

Thanks for the spoilers I guess.. doubt I will visit this thread again, too many people casually bringing spoilers here

Stuff he teased 2 years ago still did not happen.

Might as well stop doing that until we catch up with what he teased last year lol

Yeah that reveal was pretty cool. I was afraid we would reset and go through it again, skull boy style.

Nice, hope the author is in much better state now

I think its obvious Orochi is supposed to be the sacrifice to whatever being that is. Possibly "God" figure we keep hearing about.

I think the problem with OP backlog is there are too damn many of them, they are really a big investments for new readers.

So I think the best solution is to read the chapters online for 2 bucks a month

That's why streaming services are great for backlogs.

I pay $2 monthly and got access to thousands of chapters via the Shonen Jump application.

Buying the volumes for new user is insane, that's like a thousands dollar lol

Kaido saying he got fired up meaning he used some new technique unknown to us.

Maybe he awakened his fruit for a brief moment and demolished Luffy.

Man that blacksperm is really creepy, I expect he will be the most dangerous of all cadres.

I wonder when Garou will show up, things are getting interesting for sure.

Monet and Vergo both died, move on people. People here have been claiming their return since chapter 693 and they still did not show up.

@King:

Law dying would be a bit contradictory to the lesson Rosinante gave him, and would render the latter's efforts moot.

Law needs to live if he wants Rosinante's sacrifice to be worth something.

I was half joking about Law. His constant involvement in the story is the symptom of a much bigger issue in One Piece post Time skip.

Ever since the new world, the story focus has greatly shifted from the Strawhats to "allies and side characters", Oda spends so much time to create and involve those side characters nowadays that the Strawhats barely get time to shine.

We have spent half the new world with the crew separated, either in Dressrosa, zou or whole cake arc, until we reached a point were we cannot even have the Strawhats featured in the final war against Kaidou because there are so many characters hogging screen space.

So yeah if there is one thing I would change, is to shift the story focus back to the Strawhats, it used to be a story about their adventure, but that's not the focus anymore.

Can we have at least summary for those not able to watch 30+ min video

Kill Law in Dressrosa arc, his whole purpose was to use the strawhats to defeat Doflamingo and avenge his dead brother. After Dressrosa, there was no reason for him to continue in the story.

Law needs to go ASAP.

@wolfwood:

No just more of the same little bits and pieces, trading some blows here or there before switching opponents, with no actual full length fights for anyone but Luffy. Just a long run around until the end.

Maybe this worked for Marineford since not everyone needed to be defeated. But how do you suggest Oda will resolve all the fighting then? Will pirates stop after Kaidou is defeated?

Because trust me, he won't tell them to leave him and run like WB lol!

@Shift:

I was hoping things would tighten up after 1000, but there's still a lot of setup going on, and if the count this year is similar to last year (967 to 999), the last chapter of the year will be around 1032. That's about 20 chapters left give or take, two volumes' worth, and we'll need at least 10 for all the fights set up right now. That's not to mention what Zoro and Sanji will end up doing, if they get mateched up with King and Queen and require another few chapters for those top officers. The fight with Kaido will probably need 3-5 focused chapters minimum. And averting the collision with the Flower Capital needs at least one.

Can the battles finish by the end of '21? I still think it's possible, but it'll be close. And if we're talking about post-battle celebrations, goodbyes and such, I'm pretty confident at least that will extend into '22.

That would mean Wano will be running for around 4 years, that's nuts! How many more arcs do we have? And the final one will surely surpass Wano, didn't Oda say he wanted to finish OP in 5 years? That sounds impossible.

Unless we literally enter the final saga right after Wano.

@Chams:

Would remove Kaidou.

Yeah, separate Wano into two arcs. I personally don't feel any connection between Kaidou and Wano. He supposedly lived here for 20 years, but doesn't seem to have formed any relationship with the island, having everything be intermediated by Orochi. Focus on Wano characters and then have Kaidou come here or have Onigashima be further away from Wano, I don't know. Reatking Wano for the samurai could have been another step to attract Kaidou's attention, like Dressrosa was.

That's why we are so advanced in the arc without knowing anything about the villain himself

I once criticized Kaidou's lack of depth and involvement in the arc, and got shit for saying that by multiple members here :getlost:

Yeah Oda will flesh him out but so far, 100+ chapters in the arc, Kaidou's character remains a big question mark.

@King:

Well, if anything, he's going to stick around until the end.

As long as he knows his place, fine. But Im sick of him stealing stealing Choppers glory (and others too!)

Law needs to go.

Bigmom is the most powerful individual in Wano at the moment, not even Kaidou could stop her in his state. And she just does whatever she wants attacking both sides, lmao.

The Kaidou dialogue was translated differently than what Sandman have said. Interesting.

edit: beaten, although I don't if they missed it or Sandman did.

@kirei_lanford:

So this final enemy could be another creature.. or even demigod level creature. I honestly can't imagine..

The final enemy needs to be a well established villain with ambition and motives that matches Luffy.

Introducing a "demigod creature" as a final opponent does nothing for me. That's not what One Piece is about.

Goddamn that was brutal! Amazing chapter.

Can't wait for the next 5 revisions of this battle :P

Oda can draw unique women, as shown here. But because he mainly draws them to be attractive, he has one model he follow. A shame really.

@electricmastro:

Considering how it was made apparent early on that the Scabbards lived and fought to avenge Oden and fulfill his dream of opening Wano, I’m willing to believe this. I’m really not sure where the Scabbards would go after that in terms of plot, because it seems their story would be finished by then and I’m not sure what else there could be for them to do after achieving such fulfillment.

Well they have to protect Wano from whatever threat that forced their ancestors to close the borders.

They can also focus on rebuilding Wano to its former glory.

I don't think any of the scabbards are going to die. Except for Kanjuro ofc.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

@Jabra:

Kaidou

Won't die because Oda won't cater to his suicidal tendencies in his Japanese Shounen manga. Practically zero chance, exactly because he wants to die.

I think Oda could give him a reason to live, and it could be as simple as wanting to see what will happen in the future. That is if he really want to keep him in the story.

But I think his presence is too big to just sideline him like that. He is the strongest creature in the world, he can't be captured or put in jail. So what do you do with a suicidal beast like that.

This thread was inspired by the discussion of chapter 1008 where almost no one seem to believe that Ashura Doji is dead. And who can blame the doubters? Oda doesn't seem to be capable of killing anyone without bringing them back at some point.

However, just like Ace and Whitebeard death were inevitable, I think some characters have to die in this arc. They just HAVE to, the story cannot progress forward with them alive. The main one I am speaking of is Kaidou. The second character is Orochi, there's no way that the Wano arc could ever conclude with them alive… how could they? What suitable fate that could await beside death? Kanjuro is the third character in my mind.

These three characters are the ones who I can bet they are going to die. I'm sure others would disagree and and have their own characters who think they will die, so lets discuss!

This is something that I always assumed would be true. However, 3 months into 2021 and the serious fight have yet to begin.. Thought it would be fun to vote on.

This will easily be the longest arc in the entire series and I can only imagine how long will the final arc be.

Things we have left in the arc:

• Commanders fights

• Emperors Fight

• Kaidou centric flashback

• Epilogue

Do you think this can be done this year? we have 25-30 chapters left.

@pariston_hill:

Guys I know we all are anxious about the cadre fight. But it's their manga. They redraw whatever the fuck tehy want.

And people can express their frustration at that.

Hyiori is more logical but Toki would be more impactful.

Good chapter, but let's hope they are done with the constant re-working of old chapters.

@Johnny:

I just want to see Blackbeard show why he is a Yonkou sometime soon. It can be in one of those between-Act chapters.

It would kill the momentum of the war if we suddenly shift to blackbeard in the middle of it.

I hope Oda doesn't cut away, not until Kaido is put down.

This was a really beautiful finale. Amazing part 1.

I'm assuming Fujimoto will be taking a well deserved break before starting part 2.

Can't wait.

Wingdings killed me lmao.. its supposed to be gibberish written in windings font, but the typesetter took that too literally.

I heard leaks are saying next chapter is the final one with an important announcement..

Bruhhh the implications are crazy. I hope the announcement is an anime, not a second season of the manga.

Are you guys keeping up with this?

It seems the next few chapters we will finally learn the truth of the system.

Haven't been hyped like this since the ant island.

Yeah the latest chapter was something really great.

It seems the series is entering the climax after this this arc.

@Watch-man:

Its A redraw… not new chapter..

@Mandorle21:

It's a redraw, this is back when Atomic Samurai and Black S hadn't met yet.

I know, I completely forgot about him until I read this redrawn chapter. Maybe it's because of all the delays and author spent time on redrawing old chapters I lost interest.

I think even the emperor dude is still around.

Oh wow I totally forgot about black sperm.

I thought the arc was over with Tatsumaki's fight lol

Makima is loving every second of this lmao
