- I didn't expect the masked CP0 guy to be a jobber



He and the beard CP0 guy took out some of the Numbers, scared off Apoo, emasculated Drake, and took Izo (one of Whitebeard's commanders) down with him. This is coming after both of them bounced off of Kazenbo which was made entirely out of fire. Ain't no jobbing in CP0.

Scratchman Apoo, famous for losing to CP-0, would be one to say they aren't jobbers

- pudding and sanji will get married
- I really don't care for Momonosuke being The Chosen One
- I didn't expect the masked CP0 guy to be a jobber
- it's still jarring to see tama's mind-control dango fruit be played for laughs
- 20-something linlin was a hottie
- the Five Elders are scared of Luffy's fruit awakening, which sucks since it makes Luffy The Other Chosen One
- Zoro ain't getting back up again, and if he does he'll have taken some kind of permanent damage


re your 6th: doesn't have to be a Real Chosen One thing, and more afraid of an impersonation of the myth? The WG and the Elders have been working on many other power plays such as Kumabots and whatever Vegapunk 's new development was, so they really want to cement that power without any pirates in play (and no I have no idea how Shanks fits in all this), and as mysterious as that Imu thing may be it is still aligned with those interests.
Momo had a nice line about how not even his dad could predict the future, stuff like that really makes me admire Oda on his message and on how great a writer he is.
This story is good.

This is a important distinction to me. Luffy is strong because of who he is as a person (and child endangerment by Garp) not because of his DNA.

He's not born to be Joyboy or Nika but he can wear those mantles because he fits the role.

it was the third best thing in the chapter, behind Luffy’s final(?) attack and of course Orochi’s face when he realized how much Hiyori hated him. That genuine sadness :allears:

Good chapter

Glad to see Hiyori getting some spotlight before the finale.

I don't think there's a character in the series as miserable and pitiful as Orochi. He spends 20 years believing the samurai were coming to enact revenge on him and when he finally confronts them they can barely be bothered to acknowledge him besides "Out of our way, your judgement will be decided in hell". He's thrown aside like trash by Kaido and foes alike then in his cowardly attempt for revenge he ends up buried in his own burning rubble. Now he dies meaninglessly, betrayed and forgotten by everyone besides his fake fiance returning from the grave to call him a piece of poo poo.

Kaido flashback imminent!

Also if CP-0 goes after Luffy, Kaido is almost certainly going to defend him against them after he realizes Luffy is Joyboy.

Raizo loving owns.

someone posted a theory that the cp0 person will fight drake and this whole drag out with the cp0 was specifically so we can get a small infodump between drake and cp0 to amp the climax of the final fight and im inclined to believe it

New theory, Zoro is actually dead. Can't be the "King of Hell" without travelling to Hell, and toppling the throne. Then his soul will get lost, and wind up back in his body.

Would you be my new best friends?

I'd feel bad for the CP0 guy being ordered to go try and assassinate a guy currently successfully going toe to toe with the strongest creature in the world but gently caress him, couldn't happen to a nicer guy t:mad:t

Same deal with Orochi.

I am really looking forward to seeing what turned Kido from an idealistic youth into a ruthless (and alcoholic) tyrant; the glimpse we got from King's point of view and Kiado's own memory are implying a kind of awkward and :airquote: innocent :airquote: person.

Edit: There was something kind in Kaido once and it got beat the gently caress out of him and I really want to see what it was.

we should be getting a flashback for Kaido and it looks like it should be happening really soon

we don't have a clear resolution to what actually happened with Zoro

I like Bounceman but love Snakeman's design

where the gently caress are the samurai

Snakeman is pretty cool but I think I prefer Bounceman, it looks goofier which makes it feel more Luffy-like, if that makes sense.
