i do presume this is uranus for a multitude of reasons but it really makes me wonder the exact anatomy of the ancient weapons and their relation to the void century. are they just the three chiefest weapons of the time with their ownership and use split, so you potentially had uranus on the side of the twenty kingdoms and say, poseidon on the side of the ancient kingdom? that seems likeliest but it would also be cool if they were all of the ancient kingdom and were in specific response to whatever this superweapon is and uranus is as of yet still an unknown. i can't imagine the alternative is true (all being on the side of the WG) considering the original poseidon's role in fishman island history and relationship with joy boy. i wonder if the WG managed to steal uranus and turn the tide. with some devil fruits also boasting worldly destructive power i'm aggressively curious to learn the details of how that entire conflict played out.

also i will never grow out of uranus.

He's pretty clearly seeing and reacting to Big Beam here along with everyone else.


We're all just throwing darts here but Sabo could be on a neighboring island or a ship off the coast which would explain why he's looking off to the side while everyone else is looking up... or it's the usual logia bullshit like everyone else is suggesting and he just turned into flames before the island blew... or he's loving dead lol

I honestly feel like if it's meant to be a misdirect, the initial panel would be given more attention, here it's just cut inbetween other reactions. Also like, that would be kind of...a lame asspull.

So in my theory there's a little bit more setup than just the paneling - the Navy acts surprised that Sabo isn't scrambling his signal which could be because he wanted his call to be intercepted so that Navy can overhear him talking about Imu - if he knows that he's being monitored he could have lied about his location

Sabo escaped by the skin of his teeth and his proximity to the crime will lead to the dastardly Flame Emperor taking the fall for this terrible event.

The stump that Ace/Luffy/Sabo drank the sake cups over was their 4th brother, he didn't eat the stump stump fruit he is just a tree man so he can eat the fire fruit and be a flaming tree man.

my gut assumption with that shot was that Sabo was reacting to some commotion just outside of wherever he was hiding. so e.g. Sabo was in some safehouse, the crowd outside saw the clouds darken and looked up to see something happening, the sound of confusion and fear outside is what caused Sabo to look toward the door

Yeah, at that angle, Sabo could be looking from off island, or looking at the light coming through a window in a building on the island.

I'm in the camp of Luffy's dream is to explore outer space, especially based on the reactions of the crew. It's also in the chapter where a spaceship (probably) appears. He's even looking up at the sky when he says it.

hm, thinking about it a little bit, i don't think it is a coincidence that we get a chapter where a Big Hat Shadow does a bunch of evangelion beams and also we get a few panels of chopper also wearing a Big Hat. seems like one of oda's little "hey this is something" things

Here’s the link from a few days ago but it’s just a one day delay to keep parity with the Japanese release since there’s a holiday so you might as well wait if you’re not a scanlaton fan.

I've read scanlations before, its mostly a combination of wanting to support the official release, since that's an option in this case, and generally trying to stay in the habit of waiting until Sunday so that I'm not waiting as long during big breaks or holidays. In this case IIRC we're still getting a new chapter at the normal time next week and Viz is already getting my money so I don't see a problem with it.

I usually read both so I’m not judging or anything, you just mentioned you weren’t a fan of scanlations so I just figured you didn’t like the translation quality or whatever.

Do you guys think back in Ohara, if Gorosei figures out beforehand how close the scholars to actually find out about the Void Century, IM would have send down Uranus (I'm calling that thing Uranus until it's proven otherwise), instead of a Buster Call? Because I don't think that Gorosei was expecting Clover to say the name of the Ancient Kingdom when they were talking to him
