It's so loving funny that Jinbe has been technically part of the crew for like 8 years and hasn't been in a single color spread with them except for the Arashi one. Like Franky was in the vs CP9 one and even if you don't count that was in the one two chapters after he joined. Brook was in one the same chapter he joined. Jinbe hates commitment (or people hate Jinbe (it's both)).

Good question all his flashbacks are about everyone around him was way cooler and died while he did nothing and got a promotion.

My God I never knew joy until I unlocked white beard in pw4.

This game turned me from ambivalent about Katakuri to his biggest fan. If Musou games are power fantasies then the giant characters in this game are like being drunk on it.

The Alternate Wano Arc is great too because it's basically an excuse to get as many playable characters in one place so you can be whoever you want in the last level.

I recently started to watch one piece with my kids. I was kind of shocked at how reserved nami was drawn back in the original opening episodes. I remember her expanding chest size being a gag.

I'm also noticing just how much Oda had planned out maybe from the beginning from haki, to the connection between buggy and shanks.

But I'm also wondering how much of it changed over the years to accommodate the story. They had multiple shots of what looked to be fodder crew members on I'm guessing Rogers ship and when shanks caused buggy to eat the devil fruit.

I also know that originally only Luffy was supposed to be a devil fruit user but other than that I'm not really aware of any major plot lines or story focuses that were created on the fly or changed over time. If there was any evidence of a contradicting storyline I haven't seen much evidence of it as of yet.

Haki if anything is the biggest retcon of them all.

Even if you think Shanks' death glare was a foreshadowing for haki (it wasn't, death glares are a trope), Skypiea is where the argument falls apart because a thing (mantra) is established and then retroactively the continuity is altered to fit the new narrative. Which is the definition of retcon.

Also if half of the 7 warlords and the entirety of CP9 didn't use it then what's your excuse there.

It's weird they developed all new never before seen powers in the like 2 hour train ride to Enies Lobby but you can sort of wave that off and even understand how they'd develop such powers.

Then Zoro grows 2 heads.

I'm sorta not on board with the eventh hour asspull of Kaidou having a son so late in the game here.

Here we are about to throw down and watch the fireworks factory blow up, then right as the straw hat armada is in the process of raiding the party it turns out that Kaido's got some hulking fucker of his own stashed away, with temper that causes the dragon man himself to raise an eyebrow, who will probably swoop down to give Luffy and the crew the business in an already turmulous situation to begin with.

Feels a bit cheap. You couldn't bring him into the plot a bit earlier Oda? Not during Act II somewhere, or maybe after Kaido and Big Mom threw down? Maybe he's saving him for some post-Wano action, I could get behind that a bit more.

I think that there's a decent chance Oda just re-wrote his original plans for how to reintroduce Neko and Marco into the arc. The implication at the beginning of Wano was that Marco couldn't come right away, so he wanted Neko to deliver a message to Luffy, which would imply Neko leaving first, but the fact that Marco arrived alongside Neko seems like a last minute switch-up. The note was probably just a dangling plot thread Oda wanted to close up.

It is so funny to see people still try and pull off "but what about "*generally vague statement made 2 years ago by a character who will never return*" when on this very same page we saw the creator olf the series go "Ya I use fan wikis to remember things cuz I'm dumb lol". Oda retcons poo poo and makes new things up all the time, doesn't make the series any less entertaining.

Oden was cool but a lot of the stuff he did felt like a huge waste of time (joining whitebeard, dancing for 5 years, etc)

Fisher Tiger is still the epitome of that to me, and a big part of why i’m such a fan of Jimbei being a Straw Hat.

Fisher Tiger being cool as poo poo is the reason I think Jinbe sucks rear end. He didn't do anything! And then he gets another flashback with the Otohime stuff, and hen STILL doesn't do anything! Dude just fails upwards.

Looks like aside from Oda they actually got a bunch of artists to do Line stickers from Kishimoto to Dreams Come True to the actual voice actors from the show. https://onepiece-line.com/

Those are a collab with GLAY (the j-rock band) hence why all the humans in that set look like members of the band. Admittedly I don't know much about them but judging from the fact that those are all animal characters its probably a mascot thing that doesn't translate very well to people not in the know.

Speaking of Belo Betty, anyone else wish the introduction of the commanders of the Revolutionaries was more impressive? We've been waiting like fifteen years to see the higher-ups aside from Dragon and Sabo, and they take down a complete joke of a villain barely worth more than a high East Blue bounty. Doesn't make them seem very strong at all.
I was disappointed in the sense that this series has way too many characters as is and yet new ones keep getting introduced only to do nothing with them. These guys and the Scabbards have all been incredibly boring and one dimensional, and just when we get introduced to a bunch of high level Beast Pirates we spend half a chapter getting to know the rest of the Flying Six. Like gently caress dude remember Speed and Holdem and that one sumo guy who amounted to nothing? Remember when Law dropped that he had 15 other crewmembers? There are too many people to keep track of and maybe 10% of them are interesting.
