the new anime opening is loving incredible but i wonder why that one-second shot of Morgans goes so hard, it's the kind of shot you'd give to the sinister mastermind behind the entire story

not to say my boy doesn't deserve it

Morgans is going to have a huge part to play going forward. Imu specifically pointed out that they want Vivi, Wapol witnessed the murder and Morgans already beat the poo poo out of a Cipher Pol agent. I'm excited to see who else gets with that group.

Off the top of my head, probably could have cut out anything with the Numbers. The ice Oni stuff did give Chopper his singular moment in Wano (which was good) but I think could have been truncated a bit because it felt like forever. The loving... Enemy group of ninja whatever they were called were all a waste of space (even if the final fight between Raizo and Big Forehead was good). Hawkins, Apoo, and Drake all kinda felt just there to check them off a worst generation involvement list.

I've been watching through the anime while I work and have noticed that all of Big Mom's extra children and the Wano ninjas were put there to have more scenes to pad out the episodes. (I honestly enjoyed having them all in the anime to mix it up more).

Chopper actually gets two big moments to cure Queen's diseases. There is the weird mummy disease at the prison when Queen leaves with Big Mom as well.


I also love all these Arrested Development memes!

I love the reveal Morgans can throwdown if push comes to shove.

And the shot of him in the OP does indeed go hard. The pose he's doing while deftly covering up Vivi and Wapol is sick.

i wonder why the faulty smile fruit eaters werent cured. seems very deliberate. marco, law and chopper were there. probably not narratively important, but maybe thematically…..maybe implying the laughing condition by nature isn’t very disruptive under momo’s rule? doesnt quite fit though

It’s a land that’s still badly scarred from Kaido’s rule and the last chunk of Momo’s story is probably gonna centre on how he leads them to a new future. Recovering from the Smile epidemic is a big part of that. Also curing an incurable illness would be a great way for Chopper to prove he’s a doctor with a medicine that can cure anything.

imo you can think of smile side effects less as a symptom of disease, more as the power of a really crappy devil fruit. To cure them, Marco, Law, and Chopper would need to be able to remove devil fruit powers from people, and that's something only Blackbeard can do (and only after killing them so that's not gonna help smile victims either)

I hope morgans is like, extremely strong. Like King or Katakuri level at least. Dude leads his own independent faction, technically, so he's gotta be able to protect his people from things stronger than random Cipher Pol goons

HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!
He seems to protect himself by being careful. Even the WG seemed to think of him as net an asset until recently. Though it looks like theres a lot going on with him in general.

I mean, I assume if a character is in were-albatross form at all times that they may be in some way concealing their human form. not that it's going to be plot relevant, just that I always thought the "always part-bird" detail suggested someone who didn't want to be identified for some (likely piracy-related) reason.

No, he's just a regular newspaper magnate who ate the bird bird fruit, model: albatross. Apparently this was confirmed in an official youtube video about zoan fruits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU20VTVo8ak

I assumed it was an SBS... this does feel like something that could get walked back later.

IIRC the Kuma flashback established he's been around since God Valley which took out a lot of those theories
