saw this pointed out, but during the cutaway to the powerful characters, usopp is in the middle of several characters noticing saturns presence (vas and jinbe), and hes the only person looking as worried as the rest of them. it feels completely out of place for an "update" panel. i think usopps observation haki has gotten really strong



Jinbe is a stone cold motherfucker who shrugged off big moms powers, and he's sweating. :stare:

Thought Kuma looked at least a head taller so my mistake

It's the body shape, and Moria slouches whilst Kuma stands up straight.

Kuma and Moria are so tall that Oda has to do an elaborate perspective cheat to get them in the same frame as Mihawk and Hancock.

It's a miracle the different heights don't scan unless you're really looking or the characters are right next to one another. All the admirals are effectively giants, and King was what, five times as large as Zoro?

I dont think the gorosei are literal devils/demons, I think they are simply awakened zoan fruit users. I still don't believe any mythical zoan creature ever existed in reality outside of devil fruits which were created from human's belief

thats circular logic. if theyre literal devils, why would mythical zoans being things that havent existed matter?

IDK if you were necessarily "meant to like" Law during his initial introduction. The supernovae were mostly introduced as a bunch of weird assholes and settled into roles in the story later

Yeah, I'm pretty sure most of the Supernovas were originally conceived as somewhat different characters than they turned out to be. Law was less serious and more rude, and he seemingly actually wanted to be Pirate King instead of getting revenge on someone. Kidd was more of a pure villain (although Oda did eventually remember his was supposed to be a bad guy and gave him his comeuppance at the hands of Shanks).

After this chapter, I'm now 98% certain the end of the series will involve a full alliance of pirates, the marines, and revolutionaries. If that wasn't clear before.

I also predict Akainu will sacrifice himself to save a pirate. Possibly Luffy.

Not sure he ever forgot per se. Big theme of Marineford and the series et large is Luffy having the ability to make people want to help him. Him helping out in Wano isn't an abolition of his previous description as a murder happy fella any more than Buggy in Impel Down. He's still a villain, but his goals happen to align with the Strawhats, so he's an ally for that time.

Oda might've had basic ideas of the roles Law and Bonney are playing but only penciled them in for it when it turned out the Supernovas were popular as gently caress despite Oda shifting them out in a week after his editor gave a suggestion.

There are no actual giants on that image, but just for additional sense of scale, [spoiling for the sake of readers currently catching up] the shortest giant in the series is still a full third taller than Big Mom. The tallest normal giant in the series is 74'2", Oars is 219'10", and Sanjuan Wolf using the maximum height of his devil fruit is 590'6".

I really don't understand people jumping on a valid question of just what were Kidd and Law doing at the slave auction. It's not like it's explicitly stated later or something.

Best guess is both of them were there for the show of hypocrisy. Maybe a side of looking for marks/opportunities. Then Luffy showed up and things went Strawhat.

kdrudy posted:

There's actually a few mythical zoans it could be, if we interpret his flag differently than just a millimeter below the surface.

The longer I look at that size chart the less sense it makes. Yeah King was a lot bigger than Zoro, but not like that. I feel like the official heights are kinda hosed compared to the actual ineractions and fights as drawn in the manga and anime.

There's your physical height. And then there's how big you are in your heart.

The discrepancies between those two heights are why none of the Strawhats are ever as dwarfed as they should be.

That height image is hosed, is that supposed to be Hancock between Akainu and Dofly?

She's big enough that she can hide luffy under her cloak by having him wrap his arms and legs around her waist, they ain't the same drat size.

Height scaling is immediately broken by the existence of Enma, if it looked like a normal katana in Oden's hands it should be laughably huge in Zoro's. Height in OP is just a feeling or maybe they run on pufferfish logic, idk.
