fits in with Dressrosa. More than a lot of the stories in OP, Punk Hazard could be condensed into two episodes. Again, would love if they took their time and gave it more breathing room, but I'm expecting a continuation of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" treatment here, where each book got two ep'd.

Yeah, this was a reference to a specific Japanese boxing champion, the translators just decided to do the race thing because reference to specific Japanese boxing champions probably don't "localise" well outside Japan.

Also I definitely expect season 2 is Loguetown (1 episode), Whiskey Peak and Laboon combined (1 episode and have Whiskey Peak be built around the exit of the reverse mountain instead of the first island in the chain), Little Garden (1 episode) Drum Island (1 episode), Alabasta (4 Episodes). With some room to increase one of the early islands to 2 episodes and reduce Alabasta to 3, if they only get 8 again, if they get 10 then Drum and Loguetown get 2 episodes each.

Also probably have Robin be more prominent as part of Baroque Works as a management figure, basically she'd be doing all the talking for Crocodile before Alabasta to the other agents, giving them missions and stuff so that she and Smoker can have half the B Plot time each (since I suspect Smoker chasing the Straw Hats will be substituted in for Koby/Helmeppo/Garp doing that).

I think we're likely to get a Marine antagonist and a Pirate final boss for each live action series, if they can. Or something close to that.

Important context: I watched One Piece when it first aired on Fox Kids. I then followed it to subs and watched it to the end of Marineford. Then, I went to college and forgot about. I just got back into it this week after watching the Live Action show last week. I am watching One Pace to speed things up. The Noah has just enteted the bubble, Hody was defeated, and the squid, invisible guy, octopus, and umi bozo were just defeated.

I really don't know what to make of One Piece's race metaphor.

Like, in some readings it can be even victim blaming or claiming modern generations fighting against racism have no personal experience with it. But I feel that's unfair to Oda.

The Fishman are abused by humans and it isn't unreasonable for kids to grow up resenting the mistreatment. Yes, seeking revenge will not solve that problem but I also have never met an activist who actually wants revenge. The villians represent extremist raced on fishmen-superority propaganda but that propaganda is a bigoted reactionary movement from human bigotry.

I can't decide how to fall on it. I feel oddly uncomfortable. There are moments where it feels right. Like, I knew Hody was going to say he was driven by no personal bad experience with humans because he was clearly a bigot. But then it shows him having to grow up hearing about others being mistreated by humans and that actually happening so...that is kind of personal experience? Like, just cause it's second hand doesn't mean you didn't grow up hearing your people were mistreated and enslaved. Like, the fear that breeds is still a personal experience. Speaking from experience as someone whose had to hide to survive in my own country.

It feels...off. Like, I can't decide how to feel about it. I don't know. Just wanted to share.

loguetown is tiny, there's no reason for it to be more than one episode.

CatstropheWaitress posted:

imo that no one asked for, you could do

S1 - East Blue
S2 - Alabasta
S3 - Sky Island + Water 7
S4 - Thriller Bark + Sabaody

Then turn Summit War into two movie special, one for the prison break, one for the war itself.

S5 - Fishman / Dressrosa
S6 - Whole Cake / Wano
S7 - Wano (rooftop season)

Granted I'd be on the side of taking as much time as they want with any of these, the more the merrier (heh heh).

some of those would either be impossibly condensed or require making the seasons longer to the point that you may as well just have two seasons.

my take would be something like this, not that i expect it'll get anywhere close to this far:
loguetown to alabasta would be possible in 8 episodes but you'd probably want to give drum island a second episode and another for alabasta wouldn't hurt
jaya + skypiea. maybe throw in davy back fight at the end if you have room but i'd expect that'll be cut completely
water 7 + enies lobby, but this is probably a lot for 8 episodes even with the expected condensation
thriller bark + sabaody. maybe even amazon lily would fit but the kuma fight as a cliffhanger would be ideal
amazon lily/impel down/marineford/straw hat separation side stories
fishman island + punk hazard
dressrosa
zou + whole cake island
wano

these are all in the ballpark of 100 chapters each. fishman island & punk hazard could definitely be done in 2 episodes each but i don't think you easily fit all of dressrosa in 4 episodes, there's just a stupid amount going on there even if you cut out the relatively extraneous parts. it could be all one season with a few more episodes though idk. i figure you'd probably expand the straw hats under sanji going to zou during dressrosa too.

i don't think bon clay is really too hard to adapt in a way that doesn't come across as offensive (drag queen and/or making him explicitly non-binary, rejecting the idea of gender entirely). the kamabakka kingdom would obviously need a massive rework no matter what though, or probably even complete replacement because it's basically just a 'sanji is homophobic/transphobic' gag that idk how you could possibly fix.

In his defense, that's probably the level of bounty that freelance bounty hunters actually go after. You can scare someone away with a 100 million bounty. Even if you're really strong, you know they're going to be a pain to take down. A 16 million bounty is probably a relatively safe, if somewhat modest, paycheck for a world class bounty hunter. Especially since Kuro wasn't part of another crew and not under anyone else's protection. Easy pickings. Probably worth a vacation in the East Blue to collect.

Fixing Kamabakka is super easy: make the okama cool flamboyant campy people, and make Sanji resist some other trivial matter of personal pride, like their overuse of oregano or something.

I actually think the setting is pretty cool, I just hate Sanji in that context, not the setting.

yeah i guess you could do something like that. it's not really hard to make the setting work (queer paradise where the gender binary doesn't exist is pretty easy), just having it work in relation to sanji is what seemed like the problem to me.

yeah it's pretty clumsy. i get what it's going for with hody being a reactionary response to the racism of humans, only interested in revenge instead of liberation, but the execution is pretty messy. for example, all the stuff about otohime urging everyone not to be angry at the humans and forgive them, and not really distinguishing between righteous anger and hody & arlong's reactionary ideology of superiority?

hoby hear sabout bad things that happened and it makes him a racist. otohime hears about how humans killed her mother for no good reason and sees how the hatred poisoned her family, and chooses to move forward. thats the point. hes meant to mirror her, and his racism isnt meant to be graded as justified/unjustified, but as reactionary and harmful to the fishmen themselves. if you want to try to spiral that off into some kind of dialogue about respectability politics or something then sure whatever, but oda is from a pretty monoethnic place and i dont think his considerations went to that point.

it's really weird that the entire fishman island arc was basically about how otohime was right. because she wasn't right, as oda has continually demonstrated ever since. fishmen can't make peace with the celestial dragons because celestial dragons don't view anyone as people. you can't make peace with someone that sees you as livestock. sure, it's possible to get through to an individual here and there, but the monstrous society built around the celestial dragons have ways of dealing with such abnormalities.

Yeah, this is something I really appreciate about the Fishman Island arc. It suggests both the agitator and the pacifist are roles which are vital for bringing about meaningful change, with the agitator being more vital for overcoming oppression and the pacifist being more vital for keeping that agitation from perpetuating after it's no longer needed, and instead promoting equality.

Edit: Yes this is an oversimplification and isn't how things ended up playing out in the series but these things don't happen all at once anyway - change is a series of small battles, small steps which add up to something bigger over time.

Want to mention that the Anime busted apart Hody’s whole character by adding filler where he is more directly exposed to racism. I don’t know if One Pace cut that or not, though. In the manga he was more personally removed from it and the ”inherited hate” plot line was much clearer.

I’m thinking there’s some sort of relationship between kizaru and vegapunk, since the lazer beams are based on his devil fruit powers. We got a bit more aokiji backstory during the last cutaway, maybe this time we get something with kizaru/kuma/bonnie?
