all birdcage needed was some like foreshadowing on how like really strong people cant break it because its so well prepared and like "because its my awakened fruit i dont have to actually pay attention to it anymore" the haki thing just needed an "about 10 minutes to regain my temperament" rather than a literal "haki recharging" thing rather than a specific number and then maybe even draw it out a little longer really it just came down to oda didnt make good in-world reasons why it should have worked

anime was right posted:really it just came down to oda didnt make good in-world reasons why it should have worked Pretty much this, like we literally saw Zoro jut apart a man the literal size of a mountain like hot butter while proudly declaring there was nothing he couldn’t cut. Just make it so that the birdcage rapidly assimilates anything nearby after being cut, bam, now it makes sense why everyone’s pushing it.

The birdcage makes little sense as a legit power, and it capped off a very long arc. I love Doflamingo and Dressrosa despite the (many) flaws. Probably behind Water 7 and Summit War as my favorite sagas.

Finally finished the OPLA. It's good! The costume design was spot on, and the actors nailed Luffy, Garp and Buggy's characters. I watched it with my gf who never saw any OP before and she thought it was great. I think they did a great job condensing ~90 chapters into under 8 hours of TV. I have a few gripes but that's mainly me nerding out on the fine details (spoilers just in case): - They had the money to build the Going Merry AND the Baratie but they couldn't get a lion tamer on set for Mohji?! - Usopp got done dirty in Arlong Park. They didn't really show that Chuu was one of Arlong's strongest fighters so it felt like Usopp was just wasting time in the woods against one mook. - I'm not a big fan of how Nami's village didn't know anything about the 100M berry deal. That was such a huge part of Nami's "Help me Luffy" scene where they thanked her for trying and told her to run away as they marched to their deaths. - Extremely picky one but during Zoro vs the Meowban

i dont think this was as big of a deal because you see chuu with arlong basically 24/7 along with whats his name that sanji beats but gives both zoro and him trouble. i think its fair to say that chuu is implied to be strong and thats enough. a throwaway line would have helped but thats a small gripe. im more annoyed that they didnt have usopp confront his cowardice and that because chuu is strong he needs to defeat him instead of running or whatever. 20 seconds and a single line would have made such a huge difference, especially since usopp didnt really do much for the entire season

Carpator Diei posted:Almost no one except Kizaru and a few selected Marines know about him being present yet. That's going to be the interesting part here: Saturn can absolutely override it (and probably will, after all that set-up), but not without revealing his presence to at least everyone who knows about the Pacifistas' command hierarchy. IIRC isn’t some of Blackbeard’s crew hanging around nearby? If they find out an elder star is hanging around they’re definitely gonna make a move on him

Yeah I still suspect the "shocking incident" will involve an attack on Saturn. If the Blackbeard pirates do it under the guise of Luffy it would play into his history of attacking world nobles

Is it possible that Blackbeard has an authority chip to control the seraphim? In 1059 koby is giving orders to the seraphim and then gets taken hostage by the Blackbeard pirates. They’d have to get rid of all the punks and Saturn though which could be part of the “egghead incident.” I also like that in the most recent chapter the straw hats have all of vegapunks luggage on the sunny already so even if he doesn’t make it off the island Franky can still play with all his inventions.

one of the blackbeard pirates pulling out an authority chip they stole from koby would be a cool surprise but probably not going to happen now that the conflict over pacifista control here is set up to be vegapunk vs. saturn. maybe one of the blackbeard pirates will try when they show up as a gag basically?

Man, if they get to season 3 in the live action Skypia is going to be crazy good if they tighten it up. It's a really fun story, but it does meander at times. The worst thing about a live action season 3 Skypia is that Netflix will cancel the show at that point, regardless of how well received it is, and we'll forever be waiting on the cusp of

i think one of the few things that the show might improve from the comic is the clear passage of time due to the aging of the actors edit: howmstever, i expect them to be absolutely hosed when they have to cast for flashbacks like after marineford or lmfao the wano roger flashback scary ghost dog fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Sep 26, 2023 |

The voices and music actually add a lot to the story. It's definitely worth watching to reexperience the story. The pace... isn't always the best. You might want to track down the One Pace fan edit. It's pretty solid and brings things more in line with the manga. I haven't watched anything post timeskip any other way, myself.

Probably not, but I haven't seen the anime. When I'm talking about seeds, a lot of that is stuff that just comes into sharper focus when you know what's coming: - Ussop's continual interactions with giants and how much he brings up visiting Elbaf - Rayleigh using Haki to destroy the bomb collar - One of the Revolutionary commanders is the girl Fischer Tiger saved - Noland mentions going to an island of dwarves, probably Dressrosa ...and just generally all the inter-saga chapters where characters are first introduced. While he clearly didn't have everything masterminded from the start, there's enough little things that really click with present knowledge.
