I think when A Big Long Piece Of Media makes public moves towards a conclusion, it draws in all the people who were like "Well, I'll maybe pick it up when it's over."

Same thing happened for the latest FFXIV expansion.
With that logic Naruto and Bleach should have reached legendary fame when they entered the worldwide ninja war / yhwach poo poo but hehe nop. There are some factors like this but overall One Piece is just generally sticking the landing, paying off on years of mystery and world building, and is just generally loving good.

It really does feel like One Piece is on another Renaissance. Like, One Piece has always been massively popular, but Gear 5, the Final Arc, and Film Red all seem to have contributed to it skyrocketing back to peak popularity. Like, Alabasta, Enies Lobby, and Marineford War levels of popularity, or maybe even higher.

a lot of people got into one piece in 2020 because the pandemic was basically the best time to watch the entire anime for like 80% of human beings

Guns are weird in One Piece. Unless your one of the few people immune to bullets they deal heavy damage if they hit.

That’s me but the manga. I’ve been aware of one piece since I first saw some in Japan in 2000 but never got around to reading it.

Don't think so.

What happened to Buffalo by the way? I don't remember him showing up after the Birdcage.

Probs got arrested like everyone who wasn't Baby5.

EDIT: Pretty sure Zora gathered up all the officers who'd been taken out to force Mansherry (the Tonatta princess) to heal them, but Leo got there in time to prevent that scheme and tied Zora and the officers together.

Nah Buffalo was shown on the page where the Marines arrested all the Doflamingo crew. As far as we know Baby 5's the only member of the crew that got away.

Speaking of showing defeated foes: What happened to all of Kaido main officers after he was defeated? Normally Oda shows a page or two just showing what happened but not this time. Where they put in a Wano prison or something?

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
God, Katakuri is so loving cool. The fight owns and his moveset is like Luffy + Bayonetta 2. Great arc.

He's DLC in that OP Musou, right? I'd probably gently caress around for a few hours with him

The Pirate Warriors games go on sale pretty frequently, I think. Warriors 4 is $9 on Humble Store right now, or $13 for the complete edition.

Pretty good. First one looks like a Rookie level tier, but the second is definitely Advanced.

Still waiting for a sequel to the definitive OP neck tier rankings
