hey, if Yamato doesn't fit in gender roles and break them, that makes him trans. Non-binary/gender conforming falls under the trans umbrella. Seems to be the point where Oda left him in the story rn.

why would anyone buy that...? Maybe artists looking for inspiration or a model? Seems like an easy way to try and take some extra money from fans, kinda embarassing how low-effort it all is, though.

@danie I could see Oda giving him some development over it. Sabo certainly has a (justifiable) grudge against CD, and learning to have such a strong moral compass from Dragon could give him room for some struggling that I'd like to see on screen.

Wasn't the attempted murder the one Charlos suffered? Or am I mixing things up?

Funny bit: Viz had both 1053 and 1058 chapters' title "New Emperors" (according to the wiki), but the romanized title are very different (respectively, Atarashii Kōtei-tachi and Shin Kotei).

I though Momo attack on Kaido (even though it was only a bite) kinda did what Greg was talking about. Although I do agree that it lacks anything dramatic. It seems Oda didn't want to give Momo a great scene yet...? We didn't get anything particularly impressive against Kaido (the most memorable scene being he stating that he truly IS a Kazuki), when handling Onigashima or Zunesha and against Aramaki (c'mon now Boro Blast lost impact through repetitive use).

I hate it that Oda is on board with bloating the movie with an infinity of cameos and call it a day (he wanted to include Crocodile, Doffy and Enel on top of that, for god's sake)

let's fuck*ng hope not

Yeah, no. Why can't the experiences of the LGBT+ population be an asset to an movie? I think this "it must NOT be a thing" is not that good of a philosophy guidance as people seem to believe it is. well, if you are navigating this world and you happens to not be a part of the norm, your sexuality will very much BE a thing. you'll probably have a phase where you make it a major point of being you. In the movies, you need to balance that niche experinece with points that connects to the experience of being human. So, I fully believe moviemakers have the talent to export that to a movie and make it seems relatable even to the ones who did not had that experience. And if they don't get the whole ordeal, that's what the little details and chatting after the movie are for, anyway...

Hmmm, makes sense! But the live action just wraped filming, so it probably won't be a thing before the second semester of 2023

Maybe Road to Laftel will be included (I forgot the name, but that series of sketches released while Oda was on break)?

I think it's kind safe to say that Wano's fatigue reached Oda and that chapter 1000 disrailed the whole narrative in a way even Oda could'nt hope to repair. I'm kinda sad that we had to skip a visit to Ryuma's grave and to catch up what happened to everybody post-battle (Kaido, Big Mom, Hawkins, Drake), but it won't hurt the story that much to move forward so I'm letting it slip. I can only hope for some SBS-providing answers, really.

I hate the villains gain weight to showcase they are "a menace" tool

oooh, that's an interesting twist but the consequences are dire: either they can't kill right or can't confirm a dead body. the author has a LOT to explain, lol

I liked the art...and I chuckled when Tobi kept bad-mouthing everyone around him.

I really hope it comes back to bite him in the butt

I sounds a bit too tongue-in-cheek when they come in succession like this. It was an ok chapter, I'm ready to move forward.

Cammy's Spiral Arrow is in good hands, now.

The wolf mother from Princess Mononoke had a trans voice actress, I believe. I have no idea if she's still working, though.

Man, remember when Caribou was introduced he was kinda of a religious man? Praying for forgiviness, etc? I wonder if his ''boss'' is some kind of religious figure or saint...maybe a Holy Knight? Or maybe the man with a burned scar (seems like something that easily can get a religious meaning in universe).

Ooooh, I'm two episodes behind but I'm already excited for it!

oh, I see. thanks for the explanation, people.

Barbie movie has everything to thrive, I'm declining new info until it's launch. OST is going to be hyperpop as f*ck, and even Tame Impale is rumored to be in it. I'm excited. Oppenhaimer who?

welp, Dua Lipa still had some Future Nostalgia fever to unsleash. I'm a bit tired of it by now, though.
