This is an endless argument, BUT I feel the pull to argue it anyway. That happened well before Shanks was an emperor, he was just some random pirate sailing around East Blue at the time. He was analogous to Luffy at the start of his voyage, not to the Shanks we see in the present day storyline. Yes, he was a cabin boy on Roger's ship, but we never saw him fighting in those flashbacks, just doing regular deckhand stuff. If anything, the violence of someone losing an arm is a bit out of place that early on in One Piece, but it would fit better now (see: Perospero having his arm blown off by Pedro).

I think Oda invented haki as the series was going along and that's totally fine. I vaguely remember him saying in SBS one time that he originally planned to end the series after Crocodile. Like, Baroque Works was gonna be the big final enemy, but it just didn't work out that way. Sometimes Oda plans stuff out years advance, sometimes he backfills connections, sometimes he just makes up new stuff and adds it in, and it's all fine!! Except when he invented Luffy and Ace's secret third brother Sabo whole cloth, and he was just Ace With A Hat. That was lame.

Ryaomon posted: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. Zoro's always had weird magic powers that come from being Good At Swords, like firing shockwaves and whatnot. It's just another one of those. What's he supposed to be learning? Some grounded like how to parry better? That whole fight with Kaku is actually about Kaku learning about his new devil fruit and developing the limitless destructive potential of the giraffe. He's secretly the underdog the whole time. The only question is how long he can hold out until Zoro pulls out some bullshit that will instantly wreck him, as has been the pattern with basically every Zoro fight since Mihawk.

I was a little confused with the panel revealing the tobi reppo, it looked like Black Maria's portrait had been put in the wrong place and without a border. But then I realized, oh, no, she's just in the background, and a giant. It does look like she has the same kind of horns as Kaido. Everyone else has horns as part of a hat or a headband or something, but hers are coming right out of her scalp, and are even two-tone, white (or some lighter color) at the roots. Of course that doesn't actually prove anything, it could still just be a headband or for show or whatever, but it's a neat detail! I remember back in Impel Down I was convinced Magellan was some sort of weird devil person with real horns, but then he took them off and used them like boxing gloves in a fight.

Silver2195 posted:The problem is that in the rest of One Piece, death doesn’t work that way. Actually, as we see with Spandam, in the rest of One Piece, ordinary human bodies don’t work that way! I mean, to be fair, Kuina's death happens in like chapter 3. It's hard to judge it based on stuff that happens hundreds of chapters later.

The thing about picking the "worst" arc of One Piece is that there's really good stuff in every single arc. That said, it's obvious Fishman Island, I mean c'mon. The villains were so lame and it lasted twice as long as it should have. My go-to for best is Water 7/Enies Lobby, but honestly Whole Cake Island might have overtaken it. It had a similar thing where it was long, but kept shifting focus and throwing in new characters and plot twists at such a pace that it never felt long. Oda was really firing on all cylinders from beginning to end.

CodfishCartographer posted:As someone who recently read through the whole series in one sitting, it's weird comparing my thoughts on best/worst compared to the rest of the thread, who presumably read most of the series week-to-week. Like, fishman island felt very short and the birdcage stuff just felt like it was part of the final fight vs Doflamingo - neither felt like they dragged on much longer than they needed to. They weren't great or anything, but they definitely didn't feel like they dragged on. The colosseum bit definitely felt like it dragged longer than the birdcage. I felt that way about Marineford at the time, honestly. It's really repetitive, and didn't hold a candle to how much fun Impel Down was.

Ryaomon posted:This chapter makes me realize how little I care about any of Kaido's 74 named underlings who will not matter in 2 chapters. Not me, I instantly fall in love with all of Oda's goofy background chaff villains. Big Mom's kids that only had one panel of screentime? All those ninjas that chased Robin and Nami around? I care for them all deeply, and I cannot wait to see them again. The main characters are okay, but the background randos are where Oda's ability to design characters really shines.

ThingOne posted:I love how Kaido doesn't give a poo poo about Ulti's back-sass and is even willing to admit she has some points. He's a surprisingly reasonable boss for an Emperor. He is definitely the most laid-back villain we've had so far. Just kind of going over his schedule and chatting with his subordinates. Not the kind of arbitrarily evil or assholish villains you often get in One Piece, it's a nice change of pace.

Supersonic Shine posted:For a guy who just punches the direction out of people's lives, Luffy can radiate some serious killing intent. Nah he's actually pretty bad at that. People are always underestimating him and getting blindsided when he suddenly explodes with anger. Even the weakest enemies cannot tell that he's actually about to beat the poo poo out of them. This is basically the whole premise of the Jaya arc, where Bellamy is relentlessly bullying him and then gets completely destroyed in one punch. Zoro, on the other hand, that dude has killing intent so strong he literally used to it to win that fight back in Punk Hazard.

I think it’d be better to just do the first five and roughly adapt the East Blue saga. Live action Chopper is gonna be a real reindeer, they'll make it look like he's talking by putting peanut butter in his mouth like Mr Ed.

scary ghost dog posted:alita kicks rear end but has flaws.....honestly the fundamentals are all there even with stuff like kill bill. speed racer is near perfect as well Alita would be a great movie if they made five more of them, but they definitely won't, so it will be forever incomplete. Seriously, they ended it in such an awkward place, it's bizarre. It's not like there aren't a dozen times where Alita seemingly dies, why would you cut it off in the middle of an arc?

QuasiQuack posted:I think you would all do well in taking a step back from this and maybe not immediately jumping to the conclusion that Oda, a guy who has depicted LGBT people quite problematically in the past, is now suddenly some champion of trans rights. If only to spare yourselves the disappointment later. I mean, in this chapter we see a pair of characters where the distinction is made between a cross-dresser and a trans woman: Izo and Okiku. The former is a reference to Onnagata, while the latter is just a samurai who happens to be trans, and has never been presented as anything else. Oda isn't always... great, with LGBT issues, but his heart is in the right place, and he definitely knows the difference between the two. I've seen it suggested elsewhere that Yamato is merely playing the "role" of Oden in the whole kabuki play metaphor of this arc, but that doesn't really gibe with Kaido (and everyone else) calling him "my son Yamato". Like, why would they respect that part but not refer to him as Oden as well, if that's what he wants? The only reason to refer to Yamato as a woman is if you purposefully want to read the situation in a convoluted and uncharitable way. It's entirely possible that it could swing back in that direction by the end of the arc, but at this point, there's no reason not to use male pronouns for Yamato.

Oden's story was fun, but didn't strike me as especially tragic by One Piece standards. Maybe it's just that we knew he was executed by being boiled alive basically since we met Momo all those years ago, it didn't come across as a big shock or anything. Personally, Chopper's backstory is the one that still hits the hardest. "A man dies when he is forgotten" always makes me a bit misty-eyed.

Why did he come to Wano, specifically, to make his army of devil fruit users? We know he was getting the ingredients for SMILE from Caesar on Punk Hazard. Does he have some connection to Onigashima? Has he always been unkillable, or is it a result of becoming strong? We really don't know much about him.
