prediction: Blackbeard thinks the Yami Yami no Mi is the most powerful devil fruit because it's the fruit Gold Roger had

Nah, that would've been mentioned by now. If anything it's going to be Rocks old fruit but that runs into the same problem of why Garp/Sengoku/Shanks hasn't said anything. It probably has something to do with having more than one devil fruit since it can suppress powers.

Shanks maybe has said something. He went to WB about blackbeard and went to the world government about "a certain pirate".

It could have plausibly been mentioned at Marineford but almost no one would have had that knowledge, let alone someone to mention it to. So it could go either way, I'm 50/50 on whether it belonged to Rocks.

Rocks having had the fruit makes more sense but you'd think that Garp would've had some reaction to a dangerous pirate having the same power as the dude he defeated in the most important battle of his life.

not if the old guard never knew


How would Garp not know? He hunted Roger for years and fought against and with him several times. I can see him not saying anything because of ~reasons~ or that Oda hadn't thought of it yet but it seems very unlikely. Rayleigh too, by the way. Xebec seems more likely since he was introduced much later but I'm still not convinced.

If anything I suspect that BB knows more about devil fruits than most and therefore knew what it can do. Probably ties into why devil fruits exist in the first place. There might be something to the superstition of it being impossible to have 2 fruit powers because the devils will fight each other and blow you up in the process. BBs fruit could somehow outrank the others which is why he can suppress them and wield more than one.

I still prefer the swedish translation of Luffy -> Ruffy :shrug: . I stopped reading the swedish release after Enies Lobby which was apparently a very good idea because the translators completely gave up in Thriller Bark and named Brook Brukk for some bizarre reason. Swedish doesn't even use double k's.

Yay for Yamato! I'm still not sure about him joining the crew, it's difficult to imagine him fitting into the crew dynamic. Though I suppose a lot of folks felt that way about Jinbei.


:confused: He's already acting like a strawhat and said he wants to join. Of course the future Pirate King needs an Oden for the last part of the journey.

I don't think Carrot is joining anymore. I wouldn't mind her doing so but she's been away from the spotlight for too long.

Plus, the downfall of Wano was directly attributed to Oden loving off and ignoring his homeland. Kaido even says during his fight with Oden that he wouldn't have been able to defeat him earlier (this might have been more of a comment on the dancing like a fool for money thing). It still holds true though, if Oden would have stuck around then Orochi doesn't have the in with his father as well. If Yamato doesn't join, then I think it is for that reason of learning from Oden's mistakes.

It's a bit different in this case since Wano isn't Yamatos country. Momo will need some kind of regent, sure, but one of the scabbards are more likely to fill that role. And one of Odens mistakes was not going after Kaido right away because he didn't want the people of Wano to suffer. He saved a few lives in the short term but doomed Wano to years of subjugation instead.

It's not his country but he grew up in it and his father (mostly) destroyed it during that time. Yamato staying behind to help rebuild feels like a believable possible outcome. And heck, that's something Oden was known for too (see: Kuri).

Sure, but if the crew is getting another member, now is very much the time. And Yamato can't very well be Oden unless he travels the world too. I don't see Oda spending all this time on Oden and Yamato saying he wants in to then set up another character to join in the next arc instead.

Absolutely. Punk Hazard is the one relatively recent arc that I don't remember much of except for a quick summation. I don't really dislike any arcs except for the Davy back fight and even that had some great moments. Dressrosa is generally good and it's only really the bird cage and the last countdown that detracts from that arc.

Edit: Yeti who?

I have trouble believing that Oda was going to have Carrot join and then changed his mind. Yamato fits so perfectly with the story that he's the first character I'd be more surprised by him not joining the crew. The new Pirate King needs an Oden, right?

Maybe that added to Kaido's drinking problem. Along with all the suicide attempts. Chicken and egg?

Fish and egg, surely. Though I guess Yamato doesn't qualify as an egg anymore.

I like the logic though, if Oden is cool for almost killing Kaido then Kaido killing himself has to be cool, right?

Warden posted:

SBS Vol 100 has started leaking. Here's a non-spoiler tidbit.

And thus Kaido continues mixing surprising occasional benevolence with being a total piece of poo poo when it comes to his crew, while Ulti keeps on being cool.

Between Kaido and Doflamingo I like that at least some of the top evil pirates have some sense of comradery. Can't be an rear end in a top hat all of the time if you're trying to run a massive organization.

lol that Yamato’s backstory was just the Twitter meme, like I expected some variation but it really is his dad deciding he’s okay with his son’s gender identity but needs to die for being Oden. Also yeah at least in that flashback it’s not hard to see why Kaido doesn’t take anything other than his son’s gender identity seriously.

Also lmfao that Kaido said “here’s some swords, the equivalent of WMDs to samurai, I’m sure you’ll use these to kill each other for a bowl of rice and not my men”.


Not to cover for Kaido, but he does have half a point in that if you're going to claim the identity of one of the most impressive men Kaido has ever fought Yamato better loving live up to it. Kaido does this by being evil Garp, but still. Yamato can be a man but hasn't proven himself to be *the* man. He's currently very much in the process of doing so and I have to think that Kaido is at least a bit proud, hosed up as he is.

There seems to be a concerted effort over on Reddit to make sure Yamato is always referred to as “she” with no room for debate and it reeks of astroturfing. Why else would you brigade people for using “he”? One of the top comments on this week’s chapter even says Kaido calling Yamato “son” is a form of abuse... Weird stuff, but I guess that’s Reddit for you.

This is probably selfish of me but I was partially hoping Yamato would be confirmed as trans to gently caress with reddit. Just because you're way too into cartoon tits doesn't mean you get to police someones gender to make yourself not feel weird. Yamato's a he until he says otherwise.

I don't know about Marco showing up for round 2. He bowed out of Sanji/Zoro v King/Queen so he's probably not intervening in *the* most important fight going on. Gotta let the the new generation get it done without training wheels.

I think much like Crocodile, more of his backstory will be revealed later as we learn about Rocks. Right now, there simply isn't time to jump to a lengthy flashback (which Kaido will definitely need)without really throwing the pacing off.

The Skypiea flashback says hi. Oda could also do the flashback in 2 chapters if he wanted to.

We need young Kaido getting recruited/beaten by Xebec, some pirating together and maybe some philosophy and then something about the final fight with Garp and Roger. Cut to Kaido thinking something about how he only respects the strong just before he gets destroyed by a new punch. Done.
