Arist posted:That's kind of surprising, Koala is somewhat prominent I could be wrong, but I don't think it's something Oda has made an explicit reference to via a flashback panel yet. Definitely the same character, and she's been around for a lot of the story, but only secondary/background. That's the other joy of a re-read! You'll probably pay more attention to Marco and such.

Now I’m wondering what other extremely obvious things OP readers have missed.

Thinking about LAOP making it to Water 7 has me hoping to hear Jacob Romero screaming "LOCK ON" with all his might.

It was really funny when Merphy got into One Piece and fans were shocked that she deduced a bunch of the big “plot twists” way in advance by having an understanding of thematics and story structure that went beyond comic books

I'm still amazed that Sabo's survival after the flashback that introduced him was ever in doubt. It was the entire point of the flashback! Ace was dead and so a different older brother figure was getting introduced ahead of time.

it is pretty astounding how poor media literacy is among a lot of shonen fans. it makes discussion in a lot of areas completely terrible, by and large they all seem to struggle with understanding anything about what they're reading beyond viewing it as an algebra problem where the story is just telling us which cartoon is stronger than the other

I like it when the little guy punches the big guy. And then when that doesn't work, the little guy just punches the big guy slightly harder and wins! That's peak fiction.

Isnt this thread super guilty of that? For ten (fifteen?) years you'd be called an idiot who doesnt "get" one piece for speculating how sanji set his leg on fire, or asking why Luffy wants to be the pirate king.

It's half a step away from, "I'm going to declare its time to go faster, shift, and go much faster" in any car media.

Though there's definitely also some severe misunderstandings.

But a lot of people probably just consume the media and don't analyze it at all I guess.

I remember posting a bit about how there was no way Luffy was going to fight Big Mom on Whole Cake Island and a bunch of people disagreed rather strongly.

Oh yeah, I remember that too. Some people couldn't understand shonen manga even on the "which cartoon is stronger than the other" level and thought that Luffy, who had just taken 12 hours with help from Nami to beat Cracker, would totally beat Big Mom that arc.

I dunno how I feel about Skypeia now that I finished it. Like, i understand stuff from it is important later, but I also feel like the handling of the indigenous people aspect of the plot deserves scrutiny.

The symbolism is it was obvious right away that rubber man would be immune to lightning man and the longer their confrontation is postponed the funnier the payoff [Editor's note: the payoff was hilarious and iconic]

One Piece is great because you can get all the Power Level chat you want out of it, but in the end everything is just powered by how strongly you believe so anything is possible so none of the Power Level chat actually matters and can be safely ignored.
