No, Weevil was defending the village from corrupt marines, then got grabbed by Ryukugyu. Marco returned and ran into weevils mom, who stussy was clonned from, who wants to find vegapunk to prove to Marco that he really is whitebeards son

Except kaido. he's just an rear end in a top hat.

kaido had a tragic backstory. he was Too Strong (much like big mom) such that his country basically impressed him first into their military and then just flat out sold him to the WG. his entire life was as a weapon of war even up until and through rocks enlisting him, then Something Bad happened at gods valley that made him conclude only violence is where things are fair.

when we ultimately learn about Gods Valley i think a lot of other things in kaido's behavior will make sense. he was raucous before that but he seems to become way more fatalistic after it, which is also when he meets up with the korozumi granny who encourages his descent into warlordism.

It's funny that out of everyone in the story, Luffy has the least sad backstory. Hell until after Marineford he didn't even have a tragic backstory, opting for the child in a martial arts world build instead. Then it turned out Saba wasn't even dead, so he's still down below Usopp.

You could make a pretty solid argument that Marineford was his tragic backstory since it happened right before the time skip.

its kinda funny how framing can be used in such varied ways. if oda wanted to "luffy is functionally an orphan and was abandoned to live in the wilderness with thieves" could indeed be a tragic rear end backstory. but because luffy himself doesn't really care about that part it's genuinely no big deal at all lol

from Luffy's pov he thinks it's completely normal for that to have happened. his grandpa dropped him off and said you'll be fine. Luffy shrugs and went along with it

It looks like the anime has just concluded the Zoro vs King fight. Any idea when the anime will be covering the part of the Luffy vs Kaido fight where Kaido goes into his "love drunk" phase, then? I feel like it should be coming up soon.

i assume his entire education took place before he met shanks. immediately afterward, he got foisted off on dadan and lived semi-feral in the woods until he set out to sea.

Luffy doesn't read because he might open the book to the wrong page and find out what's going to happen before he gets to that part. Plus he doesn't have much time since 65% of his day is taken up by goofing off or having his own adventures.

Should start the week after next. We are basically at the very start of Volume 103, so next episode should involve CP-0 and a bit of everything, then June starts with the drunk fight, three weeks of Craptain Mid and D. Flaw beating Big Mom, two more weeks of all the stuff going around the island while Luffy and Kaido fight, Luffy 'loses' due to interference, and if all goes well August debuts Gear 5.

Well, he knows enough to misread bounty posters.

I love that gag where he asks what he did wrong to not get a higher bounty, when doing things "wrong" is exactly how he's supposed to get a bounty increase. He totally internalized the higher bounty = cooler person mindset, which is pretty fair considering the state of the world.

I can totally buy that he had a relatively sane education in Windmill Village up to age 7. So he knows how to write, he can read simple text but kanjis are a problem so the newspaper is too much effort.

Thriller Bark was actually when I dropped the anime for adding still frames and extended sound effects (running, gasping) dragging every action out so long. But that might not have been much worse than things had been, I just read the whole manga while the anime was still in Water 7 so Thriller Bark was the first full arc I had read before I watched it. It's such a bad experience.
