Blackbeard really must be way more physically powerful than we've witnessed if he could grab Hancock before she could react. I mean, she's fast.

Remember he can just pull you into his hand via gravity and you can't do anything about it.


Also for another person shockingly unaffected by Hancock's charms you have Hannyabal, despite him being captured once by being seduced by Bon Clay in Nami's form. But Hancock is just not his type, so he is immune.

In that clip, someone just hit Luffy, though.

Would you be my new best friends?

If, once the series finishes sometime in the next 10-15 years, they decide to keep churning out movies where Luffy and the crew get to wear some cool new outfits and have an adventure with a whole bunch of cameos, some brawling, ending with Luffy punching some rear end in a top hat rich dude before credits roll on a cool song featuring scenes of where everybody who was in the movie went to next.... well hell, I'm down.

If they keep getting real directors like Taniguchi this would be cool

that's the power of garp's parenting. if he'd been around for luffy and ace they'd get the one piece in a year tops.

Garp tried to make a man out of Luffy and it clearly didn’t take, he complained all the time when he got sent out in the forest full of wild animals to live off of lizard meat, thrown into the sky with balloons, or into the water when he couldn’t swim.

…come to think of it, Luffy’s pretty okay with those first two things now so I guess it was just a delayed response.

odas rushing the poo poo outta op. those vacations made him realize lifes too short, why waste it drawing all the time. be with family instead! if he wants to just draw the major big pages and release the rest of the story in text that's fine with me.

I think if he was rushing, we wouldn't have spent the last like two or three chapters on flashbacks and things other people are doing and would have just had the Straw Hats on the next island by now.

How do you do, fellow Regis?
If he wants more time off he should go the DBS/Boruto route and fully pass on the drawing duties to other artists. It shouldn't be too hard to find someone who can ape his style (considering how many artists have grown up with his work) and I doubt he's hurting for money if it meant giving new artists split royalties on new volumes. I wouldn't care, so long as he was still writing the series and living his best life in the process.

I think even if he dropped everything and went into a maddash to the end in one year he would still have these check ins because they're important as set up to the world and where it's going, they'd just be abbreviated

The first thing we ever hear about Blackbeard is that he gave Shanks his signature scar and not because Shanks was goofing off and being careless. Blackbeard was low key a secret badass for years before he even started making his moves and moving up the ladder fast. If he’s openly going head to head against someone like Boa on her own turf it’s because he knows he has the power to do that.

blackbeard was on the level of whitebeard's commanders even before he got his fruit. ace's flashback has a scene where the 2nd division commander slot is open and ace and blackbeard are talking about it, and ace acts surprised blackbeard isn't gunning for it. considering we see things like vista holding his own against mihawk and marco 1v2ing king and queen, whitebeard's commanders are no joke, and ace seemed pretty confident blackbeard was at that level.

wasn't ace easily folding the blackbeard pirates before teach used the darkness to negate ace's logia abilities?

Blackbeard's pretty unique among the baddies of One Piece because he doesn't have that awe-inspiring might that other arc villains have. He's a lot more prone to taking attacks out of carelessness and arrogance than the likes of pretty much every major villain except Moria (who's grown lazy and complacent) and can't just shrug them off like Kaidou / Big Mom can. In fact, Blackbeard overreacts to every hit he takes, which gives off the impression that he's sort of a wuss. Also doesn't help that the nature of his fruit means that he's more prone to taking damage/pain from attacks.

Anyways, the debut of the Seraphim got me thinkin' about Weevil, the self-proclaimed son of Whitebeard. This ugly son of a gun right here.



What if Weevil's like a hosed-up prototype of the Seraphim project? The two Seraphim we've seen are like childhood clones of the Warlords, but who's to say that they're only based on Warlords? What if they tried making a clone of Whitebeard as a Seraphim but hosed up midway and resulted in a clone that had all of Whitebeard's strength but none of Whitebeard's personality or looks?

SyntheticPolygon posted:

Nakama is an important word to One Piece because maybe you want to translate it as "crew" or something at certain points in relation to the Straw Hat Pirates but then if you do that when you translate it as "friend" in other situations where saying crew wouldn't make sense you lost a bit of the paralells being drawn through use of the same term.

This is a sort of complication that is obviously not unique to One Piece in any way but will come up commonly in translation. Of course leaving the word as is, is a poor solution at any rate.

i disagree that it's a poor solution entirely. for a word that is used with such importance in the story, i think you can trust the readership to be able to look up and understand the context it's implied in, and then that word becomes part of their lexicon as well. at least in nerdy online circles, nakama is completely understood by a significant amount of people now just due to one piece's sheer popularity, and having read the story you can "get" what it means no problem.

One Piece is a huge mainstream property and has a very wide appeal. Leaving a term (a simple and common term at that) untranslated because existing fans are familiar with it through scans and fansubs would absolutely be a failure in a professional translation imo.
