BoosterDuck posted:hack and koala did teach robin fishman karate during the timeskip oh well i meant aside from literally one single move, which was even called out in said flashback that being all she wanted to learn. feels like a waste to me though. i get that she's not all that interested in fighting, so it's perfectly in character, but so would be a protective desire regarding the crew (who had of course just been utterly defeated). i get that he finds it hard to write her power in combat scenes but i just wish that weren't the case!

SyntheticPolygon posted: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. one piece is huge everywhere except america because our short attention spans can't keep up with the extensive episode/chapter count that's why there were three failed attempts at airing one piece in america with toonami trying right now for a fourth failed attempt

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted: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. I was just thinking about that and it's also making me think the Lunarian DNA is that final touch they needed to get Seraphims where they are now. Oh God what if this is how Ace comes backs?

the stitches on weevil's neck and face definitely give him a slight science experiment vibe, now that you mention it.

Also potential hilarity of a Seraphim Buggy potentially existing. There's so many ways it could go. 1. The Seraphim Buggy is super strong (because of the Lunarian DNA and not because Buggy is strong) so people see how strong Seraphim Buggy is and they go, drat, Chairman Buggy must be insanely strong! 2. The Seraphim Buggy is super weak and the actual Buggy barely manages to defeat it, and people are like, drat, Chairman Buggy's clone is so strong it can give him a proper fight! 3. The Seraphim Buggy is super weak and people go, drat, a silly robot can't hope to emulate Chairman Buggy's pure strength, Chairman Buggy rules!

Yeah I always assumed it was cause Berkins had surgery performed on Weevil to make him look more like Whitebeard (even though he looks nothing like Whitebeard at all), but maybe it's the result of Seraphim experiments.

actually, we saw seraphim hancock, but we didnt see if she could use hancock's fruit, did we? the pacifistas don't have kuma's fruit, but that could be because of difficulties mass producing artificial fruits. if the seraphim are 1:1 copies, its possible they could produce a single artificial devil fruit for croc, buggy, hancock, doflamingo, moria, and law's seraphims. which, incidentally, hopefully there isn't a law seraphim with an artificial version of his fruit because that would be very scary.

Also, I wonder how many Seraphim were sent to the other Warlords. There were 2 sent to capture Hancock, but how many were sent to Mihawk and Buggy? Croc pretty much destroyed all the ships sent to capture Buggy by himself, which might imply that no Seraphim were on board. Mihawk himself had no issues breaking through the Marines sent to capture him, and even had time to leisurely pack some wine and books, and didn't even seem banged up.

I absolutely love that moment in Skypeia where she's been getting smacked around and chased by the fat commander, who thinks she is scared of him... till they finally reach a point where she is satisfied she can avoid damaging the archeological finds she has made, and proceeds to utterly annihilate him.    So loving cool.

Robin's primary role on the crew is basically to gather intelligence. Which would set her up for some cool spycraft buisness, but thanks to Luffy solving most of his problems with "storm the castle, punch king poo poo, then party and leave asap", she mostly gets relegated to doing some end-of-arc lore dumping with the poneglyphs or ancient superweapons or whatever.

Given BB wants Boa's power, seems likely it has different or additional powers than we've seen? Or maybe the 'turn to stone' is triggered not just by affection but by strong feelings in general about the subject. So a strong sense of fear or anger would also trigger the stone-ing. No way BB shooting love arrows out, but lol. That Weevil theory is fun too. The in-between arc chapters kick rear end, drat.

Catarina Devon can transform into anybody like Bon Clay does, so if the 2 fruits in 1 person thing isn't unique to Blackbeard she can easily make use of Hancock's fruit.

Even if he or any underling he has can't make effective use of it, just taking that broken-rear end power off the board while he does his thing is totally a thing known meticulous planner Blackbeard would want to do. can't wait for the battle with luffy that reveals stole the slow-slow power
