I hope the next issue opens with Vegapunk turning towards the reader and stating, "Stussy is the only clone that has ever been created - there are exactly zero clones elsewhere in the entire world" like that panel where squirrel lady defeats Thanos.

so if stussy is a clone of a member of the rocks pirates do you think big mom recognized her in her underworld role and knew she was a clone?

Could easily have just been like "Huh, that girl looks like Bakkin used to, wonder if that's Bakkin's daughter."

Tashigi is a clone of Kuina!!

As soon as I saw the cloning stuff in this chapter I immediately assumed this. Maybe failed clone works here too, since shes clumsy and nearsighted?

I dont know why but Kuina in particular feels like it could work, and also would give some direction to a long standing mystery that everyones assumed was dead or irrelevant

This is why I've given up on One Piece Kai, you're not going adapt One Piece to a reasonable number of episodes.

If the extra animation is good, that's fine. Less work for the One Pace folks and more anime for us.

If the extra animation is... a sumo guy just teetering for a truly absurd amount of time, or several extra shots of someone running as a weirdly loud footstep sound plays, well, that's what One Pace is there for.

Everything that gets posted here is amazing, but while the scenes are "longer" than the manga panels they're adapting, they're still a tiny fraction of the episode they're from.

Wait is the argument ”Why would anyone want to cut out excellent animation like that”?

Folk have you seen the other 23 out of 24 minutes of these episodes?

Watched this episode because of the clip above and was horrified to learn an eight page flashback was the whole ep, including flashbacks to things that had happened earlier in the flashback

Make no mistake, the anime looks really pretty now and a lot of effort goes into the cool fight scenes. But it's still awful and not worth watching week to week.

The main reason why this theory doesn’t work for me is why on earth would vegapunk clone a random girl from the east blue?

Tashigi is a clone of Kuina and I don't know how to deal with this fact.

tashigi would be younger than kuina if that was the case. well, unless she was a clone made by judge, but that's even more out there.

Tashigi is three years older than Kuina. Also, what reason would there be to clone her? Sure, she's a descendant of a samurai family, but outside of that, she's just some kid on just some island who's kinda good with sword.

I'm taking the piss while waiting for a new chapter, but to seriously answer your question, I don't think this guy needs a good reason to do anything:

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Chapter out on viz. This really was a chapter worth reading 4 times.


gonna keep a spoiler tag just in case but
something i've been musing is that Ceasar and Vinsmoke (and maybe Queen, too, i forget what his deal was) pretty much built their post-MADS lives off of science developed during MADS; the fake devil fruit and the cloning. Sure, they were working on different thing as well, but their previous work was the backbone of everything. Meanwhile, Vegapunk seems to have all sorts of things going on, little to nothing continuing from those days. Also, not sure when MADS disbanded, but I think it's safe to assume that no clone [besides the Germa battle ones] can be younger than 21, Sanji's age, as MADS was deffo not together by then.

'kirin' means giraffe in Japanese, so the attack name is basically "giraffe man gyro"

drat, for being a throwaway shonen attack name, it's got layers of wordplay. Oda does it again.
