RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
The vaccine is getting more and more mandatory in France. Good thing I guess. I wonder what the impact on the presidential elections in 2022 will be.

RE: Grimdark Edgy Science Show (Rick & Morty Thread)
Anyway, I feel like having missed an episode though
Yeah, missed the previous episode… it was pretty creative I've gotta say. And immoral lol
I also enjoyed the casual shitting on Marvel studios.

The last episode included stuff about family. It should, I said should, make this forum enjoy it a bit

RE: European Politics Thread
What's that from the pirate party ? It seems it didn't even make it to the news here or elsewhere… Anyway, we already have that kind of regulation here. It's something that was being done even before the legislation was passed, so... yeah as we were thinking back in 2015 : it's cool until the far-right passes. But everything is cool until they get elected.

RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Doesn't make sense to me. Roger who was a D. revealed to Whitebeard what it means. Why would he tell him something as bland as "D. = DFx2" ? Especially since WB fought against Roger many times and obviously knew what kind of powers he had for a long time.

RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Is it really "from" Greg though ? I've read this theory 5years ago on a French forum

Yeah, it is. Oddly enough, someone offered me one of those bottles for my birthday

Too bad for Spain. It was a great match, really enjoyed it.

RE: Chapter 1,018: Jinbe Vs. Who's-Who
It's not so much about blatant racism than about sheer ignorance. Who's-Who isn't trying to outright insult Jinbei, but he's saying several things that are triggering or would just outright piss him off. And they're not having a chat in a cafe, they're in a fight. Not exactly the best place for a calm discussion.
Yeah, that's what I figured too. It's more in the sub-text
-
RE: Chapter 1,018: Jinbe Vs. Who's-Who
I'm of the opinion that Oda should have made Who'sWho say something blatantly discriminatory like "you filthy fish" or something like that. But he can't I guess, because he's gonna redeem him somehow.
After all, outside of world nobles, did we get any major racist character? -
RE: Chapter 1,018: Jinbe Vs. Who's-Who
What's a bit fuzzy for me, is that, I feel like it's the first time I've read the word "racism" in OnePiece. Even in Sabaody or FI, I can't recall like, let's say, Luffy calling someone a racist. I always had the word "discrimination" instead (I the translation I read).
The belief that someone else is from a different race: racism. Cannot really be applied in the OnePiece-verse where there are actual persons of different races (other than human). I think that the translation just put the word racism there because I guess it's translated by Americans. But was it really there in the original text ? That's what I wonderthe Sun Pirates were a crew of slaves.
He didn't say that. He said "there were former slaves in that crew" which is true. Tiger gave them a tattoo to hide the past of some of them, and yeah some weren't former slaves but they got the sun pirates tattoo anyway.
@Buggy:
Plus calling fishmen a race of slaves
"What is fishman history but the history of slavery" sounds ambiguous. He doesn't outright state anything. If he means "fishman history is slavery" (which we don't even know if it's true or false because they could very well have been under the threat of slavery since Joyboy/voidcentury…)
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
In the end Jinbe gets mad and obliterates Who's Who. But the whole process of getting mad is either still not very well explained, or it was poorly executed-- for me. It looks like the Martha scene in BvS, or the Sanji kicking Luffy to death in WholeCakeIsland for me.
-
RE: Chapter 1,018: Jinbe Vs. Who's-Who
To be honest, I don't get what makes Who'sWho a racist. Didn't he just have reserves about how quick Jinbe was on land ? IIRC, Fisher Tiger's death trap was all about bringing him in deep land…
And neither am I getting the stuff about "nowadays it's out of style to talk like that" when there are still slaves all around Sabaody and all. Maybe Otohime and Jinbe worked a lot with the WG, but there is still a "fishmen island" where all fishmen are living outside of the "real" world. Jack is hiding his fishman-ness. The only fishmans out of fishmen island are either slaves or strong enough to take care of themselves.
This or there is something that I didn't fully grasp about all that. And I hope I missed something. -
RE: Chapter 1,018: Jinbe Vs. Who's-Who
Like I said in the spoilers thread, while everything does seem to point towards Nika being Joy Boy, I actually wonder if Oda's going to take the inherited will theme further and make the two distinctive, with the former being a myth way back in time that served as inspiration for the former (who in turned served as inspiration for Roger, who inspired Luffy, who will one day inspire some other kid), creating a never ending cycle.
To be honest I wish the cycle ends with Luffy. And if there has to be any spinnoffs or whatnot, it'd be in the past. Like in the void century. I just don't want One Piece to turn into Naruto

RE: Theories That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread v.2
I wonder how long the void century flashback will last. There is so much to cover that it’ll need a whole new manga to fill that space. At least it feels like it
-
RE: Theories That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread v.2
The void century obviously involves a genocide or a few. Yeah, I know it's obvious but it had to be said I guess

I take tow of them: Trump as a step by step on how a corrupt bigot could run a presidencial campaign and pay to burry impeachments, and the Obama one the actually had NSA bug Dilma and gave all the training Moro needed to FUCK the country.

Because One Piece is not a battle manga, please understand.
Yes, One Piece is a manga of running around from point a to b and then from b to a and repeating this 5 times by arc.

RE: European Politics Thread
Regional elections in France.
The RN's votes (dipshit party) is shrinking everywhere. Can't be sure but the last few elections we've had seemed to be showing that Lepen's party is in decline. As for the presidential polls she's still up there along Macron.

RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
Well, the problem for me is that I got ill in late January and I still cannot taste good wine :sad: Most of my smell + taste came back in the meantime. But there are so many layers of smell and taste that I can't get anymore. Like when I smell a good wine, it tastes like a shitty wine …. I hope that the vaccine will improve my smell, otherwise meh "the moral stakes behind the injection"...

RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
Has anyone who got vaccinated had a loss of smell after getting injected ? like a side effect or what

RE: Chapter 1,013: Anarchy in the B.M.
My favorite prediction is that Luffy does fall in the sea, but is near the shore. He'll wake up washed up on shore to witness Kaidou having landed Onigashima on the capital, killing everyone.
Yeah it would be fun. But unfortunately, this is One Piece. Dark stuff only happens (in general) in flashbacks…
-
RE: The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Thread
Well, you never know. I always wear my mask and wash my hands, but I still got ill in late January. Just have to make one single mistake and it's done. I asked my relatives and all, but I couldn't even find who gave it to me…

RE: Random News Article Discussion II
Something I don't get, is that, do people who think that "cancel culture" isn't a thing, also think that political correctness doesn't exist ? Or do you see this as two entire different things ?

Well, I can't get vaccinated before mid-June at least. We have age restrictions here. The elderly gets their vaccine first

RE: European Politics Thread
If you get pushed to a point where you have no choice but to repress a push toward a regime change with force then you have probably already lost your grip on the country.
Yes, that's the point

RE: European Politics Thread
Where's Napoleon when you need him?
Well, about this. A whole lot of European intellectuals (Geographers, historians, economists and all) have been writing in their books in the last decade, stuff like, "if a charismatic leader doesn't emerge in France even though it is very unlikely, then the FrontNational (now Rassemblement National) will pass" and basically Europe will burn. And some thought that Macron could be this person, but he's nothing compared to a Napoleon or DeGaulle. We need someone that could put down all the far-right in Europe. Wether it's peacefully or brutally, at a certain point it will not matter
-
RE: European Politics Thread
Something interesting happened here like a dozen of days ago. Some retired generals (and hundreds of other soldiers) wrote in ValeurActuelles (far-right wing newspaper) that if this sItuAtIoN doesn't stop they'll basically make a coup. Marine LePen "understood" their preoccupations and basically endorsed them. And, and, brace yourselves, so did 58% of the population (based on a poll) hahahaha. This is a fuckup
https://unherd.com/thepost/frances-generals-have-disgraced-themselves/Macron is still leading in the most recent polls (which are honestly, a bit outdated) for the next elections. Anyway, if it is not 2022 (MarineLePen), 2027 (MarionLePen) will be the beginning of the end… MarionLePen (or Marion Maréchal) is more photogenic and young, she will have more votes than her aunty.

RE: Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 8 - Onigashima)
There are lots of trans characters in One Piece. But for some reason, there is only a debate now between factandlogics and transphobic pronouns…

RE: It's been so many years and I am still baffled by Oda's weird sexism
yeah, don't know what happened. It should be fixed now.
Anyways, it's Kiku being mutilated by Kaido. When she lost her arm that flew all over Onigashima
-
RE: It's been so many years and I am still baffled by Oda's weird sexism
It turns sexist when this mindset is only applied to one gender. Ace arguably has more of a pretty face than most women in OP but because he has a wang you don't have to go and think oh what a waste of a pretty face when he gets gutted like a fish or mutilated any which way. If Oda is fine with mangling and deforming his male bishies every which way but is squemish to do the same to the girls because of their delicate beauty or whatever then that is a clear double standard based on sex
!
-
RE: It's been so many years and I am still baffled by Oda's weird sexism
I thought Oda was some kind of marxist ? I mean, at least, he has a portrait of Ernesto Guevara in his studio… So not very conservative. Well I guess he can have some conservative opinions though
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
it'd be a shame to injure a pretty face
Not very sexist imo, but whatever
-
RE: Chapter 1,011: The Code of Sweet Beans
I don't think that Luffy will fight Akainu though. Maybe he will punch him or whot, but Sabo needs to show off a bit and surpass Ace's mastering of his DF
Also, somewhere in my heart I hope that Dragon is actually the "hidden" strongest creature or something like that. He'd better be stronger than Luffy, is what I mean.

RE: American Politics: A Brand New Day
I'm curious to see where Biden is going. All of this stuff about the "green new deal" eventually getting us all out of neo-liberalism is cool, but I'm not really buying it as we've had our own president with "revolutionary" ideas and we're still seeing nowadays that it was a fuckup. But everyone is excited, even here, there is a "Biden-mania" (I mean, there is always an excitement when the Republican president fucks off). Anyways, we'll see where it leads in a year or two…

RE: What are you reading? (Literature)
I thought I could give a try to Don DeLillo. Maybe Underworld, but it seems a bit long to start with. So I don't know exactly…
I have to finish reading Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa first

RE: Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 8 - Onigashima)
Do you think they're the same people?
Well, I didn't fully investigate. But when you look at the threads about Oden's flashback and the ones in which Yamato appears. You can notice a trend, people loathe Oden and love Yamato.
Now, is it contradictory ? when you think about it, not really. People probably have their reasons. Like, chara-design and all, I don't know tbh.
Anyway, I thought it was interesting to bring this up though -
RE: Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 8 - Onigashima)
People: Oden sucks !
Also people: Yamato -who wants to be Oden- rocks ! -
RE: Next Straw Hat Crewmates (Vol. 8 - Onigashima)
Well, Tama would have to be 10 years older and undergo a "Gon vs Pitou transformation"

RE: You get to remove one character from Wano
There is a gap that had to be filled between "yonkou" and "yonko-commanders" wether it's in terms of strength or bounty.
Marco's bounty should be at about 2billion belly since he fought Teach a year ago. And even though they got their ass wiped, it doesn't change that there is a difference between yonko-crew and kingofpirates-crew. Which Whitebeard was closer to.And even though he's able to stall them both, he doesn't seem to be able to defeat them.

He'd never last as long were it not for his infinite regeneration. It' matters.
Well those two dinosaurs are supposed to have superb stamina too.
I understand that stamina and regeneration is not the same though -
RE: You get to remove one character from Wano
Honestly, if people think that this arc is crammed with too many characters. Just brace yourselves for the incoming arcs…
But untel then, Yamato can be rubbed out of the plot
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Marco. Don't really care for him all that much, he's portrayed as too powerful and just doesn't feel like he belongs in this arc. Sort of like Sabo in Dressrosa.
Well, "too powerful characters" have to fight less powerful characters at one point right ?

RE: Chapter 1,011: The Code of Sweet Beans
Base Luffy fighting hybrid Kaido equally, is indeed, troublesome !
Everyone is comparing it to a "dragon ball moment", and well, it doesn't make me wanna start DBZ if it's like this
