This is definitely not a lie



Sanji carrying an overly mummified Zoro because he doesn't know the gently caress about first aid is everything I've ever wanted.

All he ever knew is Chopper constantly wrapping Zoro in bandages and went "hell I guess so".

At this point I'm kind of over the set-ups because it's been nothing but cool set ups and then right back to the kaido fight, and then later we'll pop back in for more set-ups. We need some actual resolutions.

I love that Oda could have been boring with Kaido’s high ranking officers just being all dinosaurs but no, one of them’s a spider yokai even though it makes no sense that she’s the one Zoan whose halfway form is is a giant lady torso on top of a giant prehistoric spider, one of them is a sabertooth tiger that’s having a fight with a whale shark, and another is “only” a brachiosaur but when he transforms into a dinosaur his cyborg arm turns into a tongue cannon just because.

Speaking of Black Maria, I wonder if she’s legit half giant since she seems to tower over even Kaido who has to be at least fifteen feet tall.

I think Oda genuinely enjoys going nuts with his drawings and ideas and loves drawing animals in particular, so of course he'd go hog-wild here too.

Also, keep in mind this is the mad lad that came up with the Supernovas in the span of like a few hours, so there's that, too.

I think Oda is doing this to set up a string of chapters of continuous fighting like in Marineford which will be :krad:.

Also, am I the only one thought that instantly thought that Zoro looks like a giant cross joint lol?

I realize that this was already discussed during her vivre card reveal as a quirk of the Japanese language, but I'm suddenly concerned that the presence of a character with a "female heart" in Kiku and a character with a "male heart" in Yamato in the same location as Law will lead to some simple body swap hijinks to neatly wrap up and completely sidestep all the representational issues that the characters bring up which would be a huge shame since Oda has actually been killing it so far, relatively speaking.

Law is going after big mom, the opposite direction Yamato went. there’s no indication yet that he will have time or care for doing that

By "same location" I meant they're all in Wano, clearly this isn't something that I'd imagine would happen in the middle of the climactic fight but rather during the post-victory celebration. In any case it's just a random paranoid thought I had reading the latest chapter with the new vivre card info in mind and I just recalled when Smoker and Tashigi got swapped.

We're talking about a manga where a supporting character can literally change peoples' sex.

Yeah it's pretty dope how she's constantly willing to talk poo poo to Big Mom, that takes guts.

Even Queen was terrified inside as he tried to slow down Big Mom.

Ulti just doesn't care.

I don't know if it will happen, but they're transgender, and there's an opportunity to change their gender to the one they are, and you don't want that to happen??

Bit of a difference between wanting your bits modified a little and being yanked out of your body entirely into someone else's.

Well for one, neither character has expressed any kind of gender dysphoria. Additionally the concept of literally swapping into someone else's body has all sorts of icky implications not the least of which is that it takes anime magic to "solve the problem" of someone who is transgender.

"Welcome to pound town, Slifer slacker!"


There's a comedic in tone short comic on tumblr almost literally about this, Law doesn't just do bodyswaps after all, he made functioning centaurs and harpies with his powers. I'd share it but it's a bit nsfw in the language it uses.

It don't see it happening for a variety of reasons but I can see the appeal of such a scenario (both for comedic and heartfelt reasons).

One thing I do think is kind of interesting is that Kiku and Yamato are both shown fighting with a demonic mask initially, although I don't remember if anyone else does so.

not that anybody's body needs to change because of their gender, but weird that people went for Law's body switching powers in this context instead of considering Queen of the Kamabakka Kingdom, Master of Newkama Kenpo, Wielder of the Horu Horu No Mi, The Okama King, Emporio Ivankov

I imagine part of the reason Ivankov is a Revolutionary is to help create a world where anyone can travel to obtain such services to be free and true to who they are without fear of reprisal. Hard to book a trip to therapy island when the world is divided up between psychotic feudal warlords, an authoritarian empire, and roving bands of violent assholes.

...oh also One Piece world kinda sucks too, I guess.
