Funky Valentine posted:Kidd really is incapable of learning a single lesson. It is very poetic and narratively satisfying, for me, that Kidd's lack of mercy and his tendency to attack indiscriminately at people who are no threat to him is what did him. He escalated and that forced Shanks' hand

This chapter: https://www.iasip.app/Lraww-H7oUiRFZlObgzA3A E: Now I'm imagining a barely-alive Kid begging Luffy not to face Shanks or else he will kill them all, only to do a massive Enel face when he sees them hug it out and throw a huge party instead.

Kidd's crew gave up so easily after Kidd and Killer got taken out, compare that to how the Straw Hats kept fighting even after they heard that Kaido had taken Luffy out.

The more I think about this, the more I like how Luffy is willing to ally himself with people that aren't just paragons of moral purity. Robin was a former assassin who basically tried to kill them, Franky and family beat up a defenseless usopp, Bege was a literal Mafia Don who wanted to shove a rocket down Big Mom's throat and is shown doing all kinds of shady poo poo, and as previously mentioned Kidd had no qualms about innocent bystanders, collateral damage, or attacking the weak and defenseless for personal gain. It's still kinda sad he ended up such a jobber, but it further put into my head the truth that Kidd is not a 'good guy' just because he teamed up with Luffy for a while. It makes Luffy and the strawhats feel much more like proper pirates and not typical Shonen squads of perfect goodness.

Luffy: Managed to beat an Emperor (granted he needed a lot of help and like 3 power ups but he did it) Law: Is trading blows with another Emperor even if he ultimately loses. Kidd: lol, lmao

I dunno, I kind of feel like the strawhats could see Luffy be stabbed straight through the heart and still be sure he'd find some bullshit way back. I feel like I could say this most weeks but, christ, what a chapter. One Piece... is good. The only important spoiler... Break Next Week.

Last Celebration posted:i only read the speed translation but I kinda got the impression they folded so fast specifically because they were afraid Kidd/Killer would be killed and not out of self-preservation. Yeah, I took it as a desperate attempt to get Shanks to spare Kidd/Killer, the very opposite of abandoning their captain and vice captain. In a "You win, we'll give you what you want, just let these two go." kinda away. It just didn't work out cause Doggy and Broggy were understandably unhappy about Kidd aiming a massive railgun at their island.

Holy crap, what a chapter. I did not expect Kidd to get his rear end kicked like that but I love it. As a lot of people have pointed out, Kidd getting stomped by Shanks after beating Big Mom not only shows how much help he had back then and how much Law did in that fight, to me it also shows that Shanks is an upper tier emperor. They're obviously not all the same. Big Mom was explicitly scary because she had a massive network of spies, assassins and a bunch of strong commanders on her crew, Whitebeard had an armada, Kaidou had a nation and an army and Shanks has like ten friends and 40 ships of defenseless old people, him getting the title is a lot more about individul strength than Big Mom.

FreeRangeHexagon posted:It's cool to see how terrifyingly powerful the captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates are. I feel like normally when giants show up, they end up as jobbers to show off the power of human characters. It's nice to be reminded that there is a reason Elbaf has a reputation as a military powerhouse It's literally the same attack they used when the crew first met them on Little Garden lol

Oda has been great at making each New World arc feel important in the moment and then have it immediately just become the stepping stone for something bigger once he’s done.

Kid was lame because his epithet was "Captain." That's not a cool pirate nickname, that's your loving rank in the crew. Almost every other Supernova is also a captain lol.

Kid's attack seems super dangerous in navel combat, even if he got taken out before he could use it. I was wondering what his plan was, a single ship vs an armada, but if he can forcibly clump ships together and take them all out with 1 shot, that's a pretty solid winning strategy

Yes it is. Katakuri vs Luffy is probably the closest we've seen to it before. It's advanced observation Haki.

SyntheticPolygon posted:Maybe if we actually saw him kill anyone. It's interesting that Kidd was explicitly built up as someone who had no mercy for so long, and Shanks is only this chapter being portrayed as someone who protects the weak in this way. It feels like this thematic contrast has been set up for a long time, even though it was just introduced and was already completely resolved in just a few pages. jassa posted:Unfortunately it's probably not Blackbeard himself. We saw him in battle against Law just a few hours ago. More likely this is another of the BB Pirates' ships, containing some of their forces who weren't at the other fight. But actually, in terms of Blackbeard-affiliated characters who it would be interesting to see fight Kizaru... it would be really cool to see Kuzan show up! With all these Ohara callbacks, it would be nice to see someone make an effort to protect the fleeing civilians from the oncoming Marine onslaught. And then kidnap Saturn for good measure. Speaking of Ohara callbacks, I wonder why we haven't heard the words "Buster Call" yet. It seems like the Navy is pretty much doing one with all the forces that are being sent over, just one fully backed by a fleet admiral. I know I would be much more viscerally terrified for the fleeing civilians if I heard this operation referred to as a Buster Call.

Eiba posted:
Kuzan kidnapping/killing Saturn would definitely be an "Incident" so that could be what happens. Just getting a Kuzan/Kizaru fight would be interesting by itself too. Gonna be some cool chapters ahead regardless though. If it is actually Kuzan I wonder if that's how Luffy will learn about Koby being kidnapped. Maybe find out what happened to Law as well if Kuzan gets a call via snail while hes here. Though maybe that would derail a potential trip to Elbaf which feels like something that should happen before the big blackbeard confrontation. But who knows.
