Impressive that they could come up with nearly 1000 different Murder scenarios for Conan to solve. How many of those episodes are locked room mysteries?

I really like all the songs, I'm looking forward to re-listening to them all if/when the album gets put on Spotify or youtube.

Thank you for participating in our outlandish culture

(But really you should definitely check out the 4Kids One Piece rap OP)

But this, THIS is art. I'm not even sure if I need to keep reading, this pretty much gave me the whole story in under a minute!

I guess I will anyway though....

Chapter 6

Luffy, you have three swords right now, why are you trying to untie knots? Cut them you fool!

Zoro can talk impressively well while holding a sword in his mouth.

"I'm a....RUBBER MAN!" You stupid piece of poo poo, you're wonderful never change.

There's suddenly a lot more "guns pointed at heads" than I excepted, fortunately gun violence was prevented thanks to sword and punch violence.

Chapter 7
How many of these opening chapter pages are just Luffy harassing some poor animal?

Man, I wish changing unfair working conditions was as easy as beating the crap out of your boss in the real world....

Koby you absolutely deserve to eat with the heroes, don't sell yourself short. Also, didn't you get shot like two chapters ago? I guess bullet wounds are something you just walk off in this world.

Awwww, the bonds of friendship expressed through mutual acts of violence~ That was a sweet ending, but from what we've seen I still strongly suspect the Navy in this world is massively corrupt.

Chapter 8
So neither of these guys thought to bring a map? Also, maybe a musician can wait, but a cook (or at least someone who's job is "make sure there's food") seems like a pretty immediate need.

"Buggy the Clown?"

Ha! They got scammed. Was it really necessary to bring up that the lady who robbed you was hot? Geez, male con artists don't have to deal with this kind of objectification.

This girl is clearly smart, but these guys are also clearly very dumb if they think "guy who told someone to steal a thing" is worth more than "getting back the thing that was stolen".

Chapter 9

Okay, but if you run around calling yourself "Buggy the Clown" it's a little unfair to also be super sensitive about people pointing out that your nose looks like a clowns. You're the one who brought it up! But whatever, go off and force choke your minion.

"But I love money and tangerines!" thanks for sharing? So she's like a semi-Robin hood who steals from bad people and gives to herself, seems fair enough.

I can't believe Luffy the pirate was betrayed by the girl who has repeatedly said she hates pirates and has a history of betraying people!

Chapter 10

Buggy and his crew are remarkably quick to trust Nami The Betrayer.

Nami might love betrayal (and tangerines) but she draws the line at property damage and murder. Oh, and apparently she has backstory related reasons for hating pirates.

Oh. Buggy was really easy to kill. Zoro just straight up cut a man in half. drat.

To be fair the there's like a 50 to 1 ratio of filler crimes of the week to plot related chapters so not all that much has actually happened over all that content.

I hear there's several episodes where they just chop up a Columbo episode into 22 minutes and call it a day.


Chapter speculation:
the fact that they hide the P in supposedly PUNK RECORDS is super sus. We see the edges of the bottom right side, so it has to be eitehr a capital P or F for FUNK RECORDS. Working off of FUNK RECORDS, that looks like a label and the tileset it's on would evoke a dancefloor, so a good logo for that ancient civilization. Then, if that's the biggest landmark... it may be because Egghead Island is the remains of an entertainment district of that advanced kingdom. That's why Vegapunk possibly has so much super robot stuff going on, he's basing it off the scraps leftover of what is mostly entertainment, hence the resort look to York's panels, the electric stairs, super vending machines, robot stuff.
Then Karakuri may be a similar kind of deal but much less survived... possibly being like the place the destruction of the kingdom really started at, leading to it always being bitter cold, like it got nuclear wintered
Not saying Vegapunk is a sham or anything, he's probably super brilliant to an extent, but probably got a big push from whatever old tech he could find. His very first project was the heating system for his home island, something that's also very practical and common in our technology..

Don't worry, I'll just eat some wakeshrooms to balance it all out. Because eating mushrooms that make you stay awake and also become aggressive and mentally unstable is the perfect snack to have while operating a car or other piece of heavy machinery!

Chapter 11
Oh poo poo, buggy is not dead. Alright in retrospect I should have known they weren't going to kill him before revealing what his power was.

"I'm a chop-chop man!" Is 'I'm a (insert fruit I ate here) man!' a reoccurring bit?

"THen I'll squish em' back in! Zoro just full on does not care about punishing his body.

Chapter 12

This dog is Luffy's greatest opponent yet. Ahahahaha, I love this hosed up little key eating dog and his incredibly long face.

Boodle and Chouchou? Those are some truly terrific names. Awww, this long face dogs backstory made me choke up a little, I'm a sucker for "animal misses human who has passed away" stories.

I mean, yeah, it IS weird to have hair that looks exactly like lion ears. Did he decide to become a lion tamer because of or in spite of his hair naturally looking that way....?

WAIT WAIT WAIT

Film: Red Tot Musica doesn't seem to be written in a known language. It's some kind of ancient script but Uta can still sing it. So, she can sing languages she doesn't know, maybe there's some way (awakening?) that she can not just sing, but also translate languages?

Uta is going to sing the poneglyphs for the Red Hair Pirates!!!

"Welcome to pound town, Slifer slacker!"


The staircase thing is almost certainly that it's a tragedy with nothing Zoro can do about it. He can't fight the people who harmed Kuina, he can only accept his rival died tragically and he will never beat her. The tragedy is in the simplicity meaning there's no way around it for Zoro besides keeping Kuina's dream alive through her sword.

As for Film: RED discussion Tot Musica is at least written in Elder Futhark Runes. A real world ancient form of nordic writing/language. Specifically, it's the one used for rituals/offerings to the gods. The translation of those runes is basically a lot of repetition of words for god, freedom, heavy rain/hail, Tyr and New Beginnings. Combined with the translation for the Japanese lyrics (freedom, fight on, final destructive song of rebellion). I'm almost certain Tot Musica is a relic of the Void Century war, either of the Ancient Kingdom that was destroyed (hence the tomb of the song/sheet music has their art style paintings) or their victims (since it's highly possible they weren't good people). The song is a call for a godly saviour to smite foes, at the price of the souls of those singing in unison.

There's honestly something really fantastic about the moment the subtitles are in Elder Futhark Nordic Runes as Tot Musica begins and the entire thing turns into a JRPG final boss. It really paints the medium to say this is something monstrous and wrong and broken/dangerous/different.

Oda will just out of nowhere unleash an utterly tragic backstory on you, minor character, antagonist, anyone, you will FEEL their pain, and it is one reason why one piece is so good.
