you think going from 12 to 9 + 3*2 somehow reaches 18? you think I didn't already double count the double spreads anyway so it's really 6 + 3*2 to give the original 12 I said? you think you're so smart??

So, those show up as one page?

Nah even within the Viz app which always shows two pages at once, those spreads are shown as "Pages: 12-13" for example and yeah 1105 was a slightly shorter chapter. Previous chapters have also had a few spreads per chapter and still were either 15 or 17 pages, while 1105 was 13 (including the title page, and counting every spread as 2 pages). 1106 looks to be 17 pages tho, so it might have just been a pacing thing, or making sure things got turned in on time and polished.

the most suspicious part about blackbeard taking whitebeards fruit is that he felt the need to obscure his methods. it would be really funny if once the curtain was up he just pulled a pear out of his pocket, watched it turn into the gura gura no mi, then crossed his fingers and took a bite

He'll have 2 stomachs. Or a split personality like Cavendish has that he can control and it'd explain why he can't sleep bc if he does then it takes over.

Blackbeard is a cow who ate the human human fruit model: Pirate, each stomach can have a fruit so he can have one more.

The Cavendish style split personality is also the theory I’m going with that I’ve mentioned before

You and whose knees?

There's three reasons I can think of for Blackbeard's Devil Fruit blanket fort:

1. He doesn't want other people to know his One Weird Trick

2. It involves cannibalism or something else too gory to show overtly

3. Oda himself hasn't decided how it works yet

She should have never stopped wearing the cowboy hat IMO

I don't think the issue is her not wearing a hat, the green striped sweater fit was pretty good. The main issue is that without a hat or her old hairstyle, Oda draws her even more generic than a Namiclone. Post timeskip she's so generic, especially in Wano, that for long stretches she doesn't immediately pop off the panel as Robin. The times she wears hats, like Dressrosa, or some uniquish outfit stand out as "the fix" because they elevate her design from background Hancock ripoff. Her outfits are definitely not as good, but they're also now the only real thing to tell you that you're looking at Robin at a glance.

Robin got done dirty by her post-time skip changes. Not just her hair and previous style sense, but also her unique features like her nose.

I was mainly talking about fashion and not recognizability, but yea her nose is her key identifying feature but even that occasionally gets missed

It's absolutely 1 and 2, Big Mom's backstory basically confirms this

Unless there's two wierd tricks but eating someone definitely gives you their fruit

Oda always lays the groundwork for these big reveals so people can look back and say "Oh! now that makes sense!" but it'd be extremely funny if Blackbeard ate the Cow Cow Fruit first which wasn't that powerful to begin with but allowed him to consume three more fruits, then ate the cerberus mythical zoan that gave him three different heads which is why sometimes his teeth are missing and sometimes they aren't, and also allows him to use three devil fruits at the same time

1. He wanted a nap so his other side could eat it.

2. he needs pure darkness to tap into his full power (since light should always be weakening him if it's his opposite) which he needed to steal the fruit

I heard a good, new (to me) theory recently...

4. It's an ability of the Darkness-Darkness fruit which requires darkness to use.

Related to this, BB can only become darkness when there's a lack of light.

I was not expecting the Giant Pirates. :suspense:

I was dead certain the Straw Hats would have to go to the giants in Elbaf, not the other way around. Did Shanks tell the giants to intervene or did they act independently? Still awesome regardless.

Last chapter everyone except Sanji and Luffy packed themselves into the hyper capsule while Vegapunk was engaged in conversation with Saturn (keeping him busy/distracted). Sanji was on his way to snatch VP and run when Kizaru destroyed the hyper capsule.

Yeah, in retrospect this seems kinda obvious and I’ll be surprised if this isn’t how it goes down.

Wrt chapter: gently caress, we’re close enough to the end that lethal blows on non-Straw Hats stick. :ohdear:
