poo poo, honestly you don’t even need significant time dedicated to them. There’s already intermission clips for halfway through the episode, they could just replace the stock arc with a relevant drawing of a cover arc. They just don’t care.

A filler idea that doesn’t consume any runtime seems a bit incoherent.

It's not like filler focusing on secondary characters is unknown. Going back to my Naruto comparison, Naruto Shippudden had plenty of it, and even in Part I, there were filler arcs that gave some focus/backstory to characters like Ibiki, Anko, and Kurenai, even if Naruto was still the main character.

I think the Enel arc has the issue that the moon people stuff will probably come back into the story later, and we could even visit the moon at some point. Fleshing it out more could reveal stuff Oda doesn't want to reveal yet/lock him into decisions he doesn't want to make yet/result in an arc that ends up getting contradicted by later chapters.

Let me be the one to state that all y'all who still think Enel's Moon Quest will have any significance to One Piece's plot going forward are out of your gourd. It won't happen. There's a lot of story left to tell but the Moon people won't be in it. :colbert:

It's a funny coincidence that we have, in Enel, a powerful electric man on the moon and then separately, in the Minks, a group of electric people who power up when looking at the moon.

A combo Enel/Minks attack called "Electric Slide" is only just behind Luffy screaming "Gomo Gomu No Heat Sea-King Missile" on my list of most-wanted rad move names for the climax of the story.

Is Pekoms just dead now. Does Baron Tamago reset from rooster mode to egg mode. Is Big Mom's territory falling apart after the one-two combo of her being defeated and Blackbeard's captains taking Pudding/ hitting their home base and knocking down the forces there at the same time.

I have so many questions

It is kinda wild that Pekoms had a whole like character arc of which side he should be loyal to and then people pointing out that he has an abnormally strong and uncontrollable Sulong form and then he finally makes his big choice to protect Luffy, goes Sulong, and then immediately gets his poo poo kicked in by like 50 Big Mom Kids and is never seen or mentioned again

Tamago does loop back to egg form yeah, think Oda confirmed it in a SBS. Still one of the weirdest devil fruit powers. According to the wiki it’s even classified as a Zoan type

Gonna just assume Pekoms made it out when Sanji and the Germas suddenly appeared to save Luffy.

But yeah Pekoms felt wasted for all that buildup.

I have a feeling Pekoms is going to pop up again somewhere down the line, there's no way any character in One Piece would be left dangling on a note like that.

Unless their name is Gin. Because Gin is super loving dead. :v:

It may not be explicit text yet, but it sure feels like they're heading that way. The Whole Cake arc made a big deal about how important reputation and influence were to Big Mom's operation, so it makes sense that she'd stand to loose the most from such a long string of very public gently caress-ups.

Would you be my new best friends?

I can't remember, was it in the manga itself or just a little anime addition where Big Mom's kids were arguing over who would take over if she died? When they're going up the waterfall into Wano and King kicks them back down and they think Mom might have drowned, Perospero says he'll take over and the others start bitching that Katakuri is the clear choice for new leader.

America's $1 Funnyman

Showed a couple friends the first four eps of One Piece the other day. They dug it! Also included clips from later recaps of Luffy getting the scar and punching the sea monster, from the first chapter. Gotta have it.

An anime filler bit I like is in ep 4 when Zoro has that moment where his expression shows that he gets Luffy on the hat thing. How he has an epic touching connection to the hat giver. Those guys became bros fast.

On the anime pacing, and the time slot etc, there are oodles of ways they could fix it. I guess they don't mind since the money is rolling in. But it would rule if they fixed up the pace, even back to 1.5 ch per episode. 2 ch per episode average would be glorious. 2 ch and the occasional 3 or 4 for fights like in the early days would be too glorious.

To me a simple solution would be shorter episodes. Include a five minute omake theater type of thing, and maybe an SBS type of segment. So per minute of the story part you could be getting that faster pace, even though you'd need to save them up and marathon watch a bit, which I'd do anyway.

So by making the episode 2/3rds of the regular length, with bonus side material, the pacing of the main part could be that much faster. And if you made the episode half length, could make it twice the pace, while still not catching up to the manga any sooner.

They should do a rerun of the show and show old episodes every two weeks and a new one every two weeks. Twice the time to work on each episode if they need to keep their slot. There are probably hundreds of thousands of kids in Japan who hasn't ever seen the first half of the show and even more who haven't seen it since forever.

Perospero was also defeated on Wano (presumably imprisoned), so I don't think there will be any obstacles to Katakuri taking over.

The official release is still about 24 episodes behind 1000, which is just over two "batches" away, so I'm guessing they expedited #1000 for that panel. Still, it's cool.
