Been catching up on the anime since it started Egghead, and a detail about those animal cyborgs jumped out at me; Lilith saying they can't manage to override the animal's base instincts.

Vegapunk seems to think there's something about Kuma being a Buccaneer that was the cause for him showing up to protect Bonney still, even with his personality erased. And they made a point of this chapter to dwell on the Pacifistas would kill Bonney without hesitation despite being clones of Kuma.

My off-the-wall theory is that despite the command chips and everything, all the Pacifistas will incapable of harming Bonney. Maybe even just turn on Saturn completely. As part of some instinct or will of Kuma remaining. They do make a pretty big deal of things like that also being part of 'lineage factor', which mostly seems to be what they call DNA.

I'm really hoping for a major Franky upgrade after this arc.

The Sunny got knocked around pretty good by the cyborg sea monsters, and the Vega Force 01 was a giant compared to it. If they escape with Vegapunk on board, I can see Franky being SUUUUPER motivated to install upgrades.

Man... that previous chapter where it showed Kuma's personality being erased, and the "wish her a happy tenth birthday" made me legit tear up. It's going to be a punch right in the heart when that's animated.

I can't wait for the entire Straw Hat crew to kick the crap out of Saturn. Holy poo poo, Oda knows how to make detestable villains.

It does become hard to square the ability of the average Marine to think they're not the baddies when they with some frequently get orders to sink passenger boats and kill anyone who may have survived. Like, there's kids and babies desperately trying not to drown and you either just watch or train the cannons on them.


the real world has made this incredibly believable to me.

Tbh at this point a Buster Call kinda feels anemic beyond conveying how loving over this situation Saturn is, like oh no, the navy are gonna use normal weapons, and there’s…one Admiral and an awakened demon zoan. Like I feel like a not-busy Zoro could just gently caress up that entire collective fleet of warships at this point.

the straw hats almost got somewhat owned by just the sea monsters around egghead earlier this arc. for whatever its worth oda still intends to imply that Large Scale Militaries And Threats are a problem, its not like dbz where they can blink those things out of existence

Also they were very explicitly not here to destroy the island until Kuma showed up and Kizaru said enough is enough and suggested it.


ya it was an explicit goal to keep egghead safe. they want the information. but saturn talked directly to the viewer recently "there's way too much poo poo that's actually dangerous to us here, lets just wipe it out ground up"

I'm sort of at a loss. Do I keep obsessing or do I just sever and come back in a few years?

a significant portion of the enjoyment i get out of this series is reading one chapter at a time and obsessively discussing with the other morons in this thread. one piece is like the perfect episodic production, it makes communal enjoyment so so so easy. read with us

you are right of course, but we already know Pluton is some kind of ship. My other thought was that Pluton is a ship that is pulled or otherwise somehow used by Zushina and that's why it's at Wano, similar to the Noah ship at Fishman Island. Either way, Momo is one of the ancient weapons.

ive had a pet idea for a while that it's some sort of suit of armor or something that goes on top of zunesha. i agree that it seems likely momo either is an ancient weapon or is related to one in some way

I mean really the trip from Wano to Egghead may well be the last time in the series they could have inserted a whole new island/filler arc and they just...didn't so I guess we'll be in for episodes that move at absolute snails pace.

Yeah they've been doing that every 5-6 weeks for a... while now. Still beats the Dressrosa-era non-animation though. :geno:

Once they figured out that the viewers won’t riot over clip shows, why would they ever take the risk and expense of trying to make filler arcs again? They’ve all got the stink of “not by Oda,” and I’m sure getting to re-play their most expensive scenes makes the bean counters happy.

The sounds of people screaming "ACCCEE" and that clippity-clop coconut noise they use every time several people are running are both burned into my brain for life.

They're about ~40 chapters behind which is basically a year's worth of material with the pace they're going, but this is what's important

The show just desperately needs to be seasonal but seeing as how it started long before seasons were really a thing for anime and needing to hold on to it's time slot means they're just permanently locked to the weekly format forever.

The weird thing is that they finally announced a remake with sane pacing...but they'll still continue the current anime at the same time.
