I can’t believe Enel showed back up and zapped Saturn into coal dust and said God will always be stronger than demons.

I’m still impressed by Impel Down. When I was reading it, I kept being amazed that Dragon Ball never did that plot beat, if that makes sense. “The hero teams up with a bunch of former villains for a prison break” feels like such a natural plot device for the genre that I was surprised it was the first time I was reading it. Instant classic, probably my favorite arc.

That is not what Dragon Ball is about. Young Goku had no recurring villains to team up with (except what, Pilaf?) since he just kill them once the arc is over or they are rival athletes more than villains, and adult Goku would have just smashed the prison into smithereens.

Half of Goku's friend group is guys he beat up at some point or another. Every arc is Impel Down for him.

Welp, it didn't actually reveal anything but we did see Luffy flatten Saturn and hurl him into a ship (also judging by the ending it seems like the gang might be about to take on all of the Elders at once)

Doing the streamer "starting soon" bit is lame and typical oda blueballing which sucks, but the rest of the chapter was pretty cool imo.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



Luffy having to go 5-on-1 against all of the Elders is uhhhh :ohdear:

I think its funny and in character for vegapunk to do this. Oda loves putting his arcs on a timer.

The Gum Gum Cymbol was hilarious. Every new Gear 5 gag makes me laugh.

If we're getting *all* of the gorosei here at the same time, that *really* accelerates the end of the story with regards to the plotline with the world government, assuming they are all defeated. At the very least it makes it less likely that we will dive as deeply into each gorosei member as we did for saturn, which makes me believe that they will be able to escape unharmed.

Also the most exciting part of this chapter for me is the cover story. What an opening image for that. I thought Momo landed Onigashima next to the Flower Capital but maybe they just pushed it into the lake/ocean because it was an eyesore? Anyway its possible we will discover the true fate of Big Mom and Kaido now, and I could see this cover story following Jack since he's a fishman and can breathe underwater (though idk how he can move, unless we get back into the fresh vs saltwater debate)

Between the cymbals, Kizaru's laser eyes, and Saturn's everything this was a pretty good action chapter

Shame about no answers and also having a slight nervous twitch remembering the last time something took ten minutes, but still good stuff.

Break week's gonna be hell tho

Yeah, don't think they'll be defeated since Luffy's stressing that he's not doing any damage. The ancient robot still hasn't done anything so it might give them a hearty gently caress you on the way out at least.

Agree about being excited for the cover story. Don't think it'll be about Jack tho, wasn't he the only big player in the raid that wasn't blasted off? Probably chained and locked up in Wano or something

10 MINUTES UNTIL NAMEK BROADCASTS

But seriously, classic One Piece. Strawhats slightly turn the tides with pacifistas and Giants only for next chapter to be once again hopeless.

Saturn was bad enough, now were potentially facing all 5? Luffy's gonna need some sort of anti government army to hold out for 10mins

this would own but I kinda doubt Vegapunk was so galaxy brained that he knew his death and the fallout of his SATURN IS A PUNKASS broadcast would bring even one Elder Star to his home turf.

Aren't the Elder Stars the only people (other than Bonney) who can overrule Vegapunk's commands to the pacifistas? It seems pretty logical to assume that at least one of them would show up to an attack on Egghead to take control of them.

I'll reserve judgement on the transmission delay, because if it is a deliberate play to reveal the elders to the world then that is actually genius.
