Usopp doesn't need eyes to aim at Van Augur from two islands away.

Usopp has already used multistage ballistics so the next logical move for the world’s greatest sniper is to invent the ICBM.

I could see Coby fighting part of Blackbeard's crew. It mirrors Roger and Garp fighting Rock.

I agree, but the way Kaido said his last announcement has something do to with his son gives me a little bit of doubt.

I’m still confused on how the whale shark fishman has a mouth full of teeth with giant fangs. Whale sharks have teeth, but they’re just a bunch of tiny little nubs.

Hachi also has teeth. It's not supposed to be 1:1.

With Jinbe it is 0:1. What distinct feature does he have that would make him a whale shark? Does me have very well hidden spots that we’ve never seen?

It's kind of funny to look at the Eleven Supernovas' introductions and see which ones ended up being evil.

Kid’s bounty was so high initially because he caused large civilian casualties so it’s not like being on Luffy’s side versus an Emperor makes them good.

My long shot crewmember is Momo who sneaks aboard because he wants to get stronger before he takes over Wano. Even Rodger had cabin boys.

This is the big turn, then. Luffy will get to the roof to find everyone down, have a brief scrap with Kaido then get loving wrecked again. Just in time for Christmas! Can't wait.

The rebellion failing here and them having to get everyone back together again to have another big huge crew battle might be a bit much pacing wise. Unless it ended with then giving up on Wano and fighting Kaido’s somewhere else, but they would be extremely unsatisfying and dumb.

I would like to see Momo wounding Kaido on the spot Oden did be the big turning point that starts to turn things around. Kaido says that there will never be a samurai as strong as Oden and this whole arc Momo has been dealing with what it means to be a real leader of his people. I don’t know how it would happen, but to me it would be extremely narratively satisfying.

I thought the joke of Chopper looking “Human” was that Zoans don’t look right to the actual animals the fruit represent, like some one who ate the Raindeer fruit would look super weird and not right to Chopper.

Tobi Roppo and Akazaya Nine staying untranslated makes sense to me as Wano is supposed to have a super Japanese feel, and not translating helps distinguish from the types of names in the rest of the One Piece world.

Except the Beast Pirates aren't originally from Wano and the whole point of the arc is trying to kick them out. They shouldn't feel like they belong in the setting. I think it is a pretty stilly translation decision.

The only way I can see Luffy taking a loss here is if Momo unlocks his dragon powers to keep the island from falling in the capital or give the citizens time to escape and even then it just seems incredibly mean to keep kicking the retainers while they are down and make it so everything they’ve done has been pointless.

It says right in the picture that it isn’t ranked by votes, but some arbitrary count of whether a character got a lot of votes over a set period of time. So being listed in the top 25 doesn’t necessarily mean they were one of the top 25 most popular characters.

Kaido’s hybrid form is pretty underwhelming. Not really worth it being in shadow and used as a cliffhanger a few chapters ago.

That Whitebeard needs to get stabbed theory can’t be right because it doesn’t even mention the nanomachines.

Kaido can’t die because he is an ancient group of nanomachines that can’t stop working until they complete their ancient task of finding Joy Boy.

Everybody has been asking who has the T-Rex fruit, turns out it is Luffy. Ever wonder why their arms always seem so short? They have natural rubber powers and can stretch them. What brings joy to people's faces like the majesty of the King of Tyrant Lizards? Have you ever seen a T-Rex be effected by lightning? I certainly haven't.

If this isn't the gomu gomu fruit, does this mean the real one is still out there? Or does this tie back to Skypeia and rubber didn't exist at the genesis of Devil fruits so there is no gomu gomu fruit, only a zoan of a dude who has rubber-like properties

The Five Elders are talking about it like the Gum Gum fruit is just a synonym for the Nika Human fruit.

It's always been strange that the dark dark fruit didn't have the intangibility of any other logia, and that would also be explained by his fruit not being what we thought

Luffy’s fruit doesn’t let him turn back into a normal human either unlike every other Zoan. Some fruits just work differently. They all don’t need to be secretly a different thing than originally stated.

That's cause he's already human though.

So is Sengoku, but he still seems to need to transform into a Buddha to use his abilities, unlike Luffy who is just always rubber.
