Ok it's pretty funny in Pirate Warriors 4 that the "Ace is now unlocked!" popup came right after the Ace's death cutscene.

Also I hate Chopper's voice so much.

He was probably hoping that after 20 years Momo would be more like Oden.

You and whose knees?

I think Kanjuro is in deep poo poo. Kaido seems to have a real aversion to hurting kids

Yeah, Kaido not super impressed right there. Bit concerned for the two flying six, running into Luffy for anyone below a Yonkou top 3 is probably not a going to be a fun time.

I like how Luffy’s strong enough I’m now worried about the bad guys.

Kaido looks like a guy that’s reconnecting with an old friend at a big party, but the old friend starts talking about how beating your kids is A-OK and Kaido won’t do anything because he doesn’t wanna “make a scene.”

when did Momo shrink to the size of a hamster? Or did everyone just grow? The proportions of kanjuro and orochi seem exaggerated this chap.

Oden was one of the few people who could seriously hurt and possibly beat Kaido, and Kaido got cheated out of it.
Hes pissed about that, and wanted momo to grow up and finish the job.


And gently caress I just realized that was Izou in the end of the last chapter.

I wasn't sure before but with the rising confidence levels (Kyoshiro nonchalantly taking care of a flying six member, cat viper arriving with izu & marco, Kinnemon's gang getting to move on while Big Mom chases Chopper & Usopp, Law's gang moving without issue) contrasting with battered momo being delivered to Orochi & Orochi's reaction I think the crucifixtion of Momo is going to mark the final tragedy, like put a little period after some ??? time of everything in the plan falling to pieces, truly & fully.

not that he'll die of it, of course. But just sort of the final symbol of everything gone to poo poo.

The community assumed that was the case, so strongly that it was touted as fact that missing the boats was the tragedy and act 3 would end after the flashback. Act 3 is still going strong though, and if there is a seminal tragedy that closes out the act we haven't hit it yet

If I were to hazard a guess, if we're still waiting for the tragic end of Act 3, it's

  • Denjiro and Kin'emon's groups being captured/defeated
  • Momonosuke on a cross
  • Luffy, Zoro, Kidd, and Killer appearing to have been thrown/hit into the surrounding ocean
  • Prometheus telling Big Mom that he's taken care of Nami and saved Zeus
  • X Drake on the ground about to be killed by Queen
  • Kaido's party runs out of meat and sake

ya, if you notice, things moved really loving fast in this ch. you could have drawn out momo reaching kaido for instance. oda could have drawn things out for a few more chapters if he needed time to get everyone onto the island and in position. so there's something big coming before the allies are in position, and/or he's probably also moving towards a bigch 1000 .

Yeah Momo being dropped off so soon surprised me. I figured Kanjuro would be wandering the island for longer and that Momo finding the knife would have played into something on-screen

maybe...end of 999: tragic end of act 3
chapter 1000: the act break around the world update from post-reverie that shakes up everything

Conis is really bland, but I can cut her some slack because a) she’s just a normal person who had the misfortune of running into the Straw Hats, but ultimately ended up taking more action than I expected her to, even if she was WAY out of her league; b) I feel like she’s supposed to be a play on the stereotypical serene Angel playing a harp while resting on a cloud, and that’s probably where a lot of the bland comes in; c) her VA in the Funimation dub is Laura Bailey, and it’s really funny to imagine Conis yelling Kainé’s rant from the Nier: Gestalt trailer. Like her just going off on Sanji or the Sky Marines at some point, it’s not like she wouldn’t have had a reason to.

Rebecca is just so goddamn crap. I rolled my eyes hard when they talked about her no-killing policy, but I could have accepted it if she could have contributed more to the final conflict to free her country. Boy I would LOVE to see the alternate reality version of the Diamanté fight where Rebecca uses her amazing defensive sword play to cover Kyros while he winds up for the finishing blow.


BUT I GUESS SHE HAS TO WILT INTO ANOTHER FRIGHTENED, HELPLESS PRINCESS!
