Yeah, One Piece has had some real bangers for OPs. Quite a few of them have been in my general rotation forever.

I especially like Fight Together. It fits really, really well for what is essentially the finale for the first act of the series. It also resonates with me because it happened to be the current OP and I listened to it a lot when I was going through a big transitional time in my life:

Just a reminder that Okiku was introduced as Izo's younger brother during Oden's flashback but has been treated like a woman everywhere else in the story. I think something similar is happening here with Yamato.



This is probably the best way to look at this, yeah.

Please treat gender identity stuff with care, folks! We got enough poo poo going on in the world as-is.

Stampede is pretty bad

I actually had to look up the plot for Stampede before remembering I actually did watch it a couple months ago. It was very average. Not a horrible watch if you enjoy the movies but it was not nearly as impactful as Baron Omatsuri or Strong World were.

after getting to about chapter 500 in the reread I can't believe the number of times around the Skypeia arc the moon is half-shaded to look like a big capital "D".

Oda I swear to loving god if Eneru suddenly shows up again...


Also kinda related - While I was checking out the chapters related to the moon since it was mentioned, I found Fakehat Chopper (the fox) on the cover page of chapter 232, long before he actually shows up in the story. I'm sure I saw this long ago and just forgot about it:

Holy loving poo poo. All that training Luffy did absolutely paid off.

Chapter 923 - Luffy's first fight with Kaido was him going all-out with his strongest attacks while Kaido was drunk and taking everything at full force, and he just shrugged it all off and KO'd Luffy with one attack.

Chapter 1000 - Luffy floors Kaido with a single Gear Third attack. GEAR THIRD.

loving christ One Piece is so good.

If they're not all dead or just a narrative stepping stone for Luffy becoming King of the Selfish Assholes Pirates, I hope there's some contrast between the RA's idea of a ground up movement against the Celestial Dragons and the pirates' part in taking advantage of and helping to facilitate that system. Like I know someone mentioned how it was darkly played for laughs, but in a more serious work I could see Bartolemo presenting Luffy with someone's head, saying they were badmouthing him. Piracy in One Piece, as compared to Oda's earlier work, isn't really presented as a call to adventure imo. To me that's pretty much only Luffy. Everyone else is inspired to steal, pillage, and murder. Including most of those inspired by Luffy, Roger, and Whitebeard. Just not a world with a lot of positive role models.

Sort of related, but one of the Romance Dawn chapters actually distinguished between the two types of pirates (hostile/pillaging vs. peaceful/adventuring) with the terms Morgania and Peace Main. The distinction is dropped for the actual series but you can put the various pirate crews on a sliding scale of those terms.

There are definitely other pirate crews in the series besides the Straw Hats that are benevolent or at least not hostile towards others. The general worldview seems to be that pirates are bad, though, because of the vast amount of pirates that fight and pillage and how overt their actions are.

Luffy no-sells the lightning 'cause he's made of rubber. Then he just plows through Kaido's fire breath 'cause he's just that loving tough. Both of their reactions are so good, too.

Absolutely cannot wait to see this whole fight animated in like a year.

Enma missing a huge target like that is a bizarre mistake from a swordsman like Zoro, that sword must be really hard to control, or he needs more therapy sessions for his sense of location

To be fair, Big Mom saw what was coming and yelled at Kaido to DOOOOOODGE so he had ample time to get the gently caress outta the way.

I'm ok with how Sanji's situation got resolved. Can't fight a woman, spider-lady baits him into calling for Robin... but he knows full well that Robin can handle herself and he knows he can rely on his friends. It goes all the way back to Enies Lobby with his speech to Usopp Sniper King about things people can and can't do.

Also :lol: at Yamato giving Momo an eyeful. "Quick, hide in my clothes!" :sonia:

Also, we have yet to mention Zorro losing unfathomable amounts of blood, so he's not even close to done. Pulverized bones and internal injuries ain't poo poo until someone mentions that there's 500 gallons of Zorrogloben on the floor. I expect him to tag in for a super combo with Luffy to finish Kaido, or to suddenly jump in and do a crowd stupefying slash to save the capital/the floating skull at the last second.

The one moment from the second half of Naruto I can actually remember was during the final arc: Naruto used Reverse Sexy Harem Jutsu to turn into a bunch of naked dudes so he could get her to drop her guard and then punch her, and it actually worked.

I guess there was some other stuff too but it all blended together for me and nothing really stands out.


As for other series, I tried reading Undead Unluck but wasn't really digging the gimmick where the beefcake dude activates the teenage girl's powers by grabbing her titties.

All of the hints and lore about laughter, smiling, joy, etc. I mean, look at everything:

- Joy Boy.
- Laugh Tale. Roger just laughed.
- SMILE fruits. Dud fruits take away your ability to emote anything except smiling and laughing.
- The people of the D that die with a smile on their face.
- And now this new lore about Nika the Sun God.

Out of curiosity, did Oda himself draw that page or was it the Where’s Waldo guy (I forget his name)?

Martin Handford is the Where's Waldo guy. It really looks like his art style! They said it was a collab so I'm pretty sure it's actually his art and not Oda copying it.

Also +1 to wanting a poster-sized high quality print of that spread. Wow.

anime was right posted:

someone actually had a good theory about blackbeard for once: he has the kraken fruit.
thematically would make sense.
8 different points on his flag, one for each arm.
octopuses have 3 hearts, which could enable him to eat more than one fruit if it really is related to the heart or soul. he commonly has a theme around the number three.
octopuses dont sleep deeply except for 40 seconds to a minute.

gently caress, I actually really like this. This also fits with characters mentioning his unique/unusual body and having three hearts certainly fits the bill.

It would be even more amazing if it wasn't even a mythical Kraken zoan, just a regular-rear end octopus zoan.
