I can't wait for the anime only filler arc where the Straw Hats have to fight Baido, Kaido's long lost cousin who looks basically the same except he's green

Just a friendly reminder of what it looks like.

I wonder how far the plan is to go with The One Piece, if they’re just gonna remake up to a certain point or are gonna keep on going, and if they’re gonna be 100% faithful to the manga or put their own spin on it or take cues from Toei or what. Like with how much amazing work was done in Wano and Egghead it’d be kinda sad to see that all supplanted by another version

i think they'll try to do the whole thing because why wouldn't they? it'll keep one piece alive for a fair while after the manga is finished, and it's not like the anime versions of recent arcs haven't still been bloated, even though they've been putting more effort in than they used to

first, the “well-paced” early arcs of the anime are also stuffed full of lingering shots, drawn-out dialogue and needless additional reactions. it can be vastly improved, especially by studio wit, who have acquitted themselves of any lingering doubts i may have had with spy x family.

second, the recent stuff in the anime is really, really incredible (except when it’s not.) but by the time “The One Piece” reaches wano it will probably have been a decade or more and i want to see how the animators of the future handle it, especially with knowledge of future events. i dont see any downside to studio wit’s adaptation at all

I didn't realize they were the ones doing the new show. Spy X Family's animation is great (and so is the show) so this is great news.

Did we talk about how luffy wrote "gomu" (56) on his bat instead of "nika" (29)?

Also in general is it accurate to say Luffy still believes he ate the Gomu fruit and doesnt know anything about nika or what is up with gear 5?

Bonnie like 3 chapters ago was the first person to mention Nika to him directly and he had no idea what she was talking about.

The only time in the story the fruit was referred to as Hito-Hito Model Nika was the Elders talking to each other in their room. Luffy doesn't know and most people I think are referring to Luffy as Nika on a symbolic level.

Luffy wouldn't care or understand people trying to correct and insisting on the history of Nika and how important is awakening is anyway.

Luffy will no more give up saying that he's made of rubber than Brook will pass on a skull joke. It's preposterous to believe that he will budge on that and adopt the persona of a god. The most he might possibly do is accept that he is a mystery rubber man.

Dude won't even listen to his own backstory, and people are expecting him to get into some sort of cyclical history allegory. People will be calling him Nika, and he'll correct them that he's Luffy.

Vegapunk just says that the big book of devil fruits didn’t have a rubber fruit. Kaku and Kalifa’s fruits were unknown, so it’s not unprecedented that there are fruits not in the book.

Irony Be My Shield

It's possible the CP9 powers were in the Encyclopedia and they just lacked illustrations of the actual fruit. It would be a lot easier to document powers (which would just require any random pirate to have eaten it and started using it at some point in history) than it would be to get all the illustrations together (which would probably require you to specifically get hold of the fruit and record what its effects were after eating it).

Wii Spawn Camper

We don’t really know if the CP9/0 fruits were just unknown or entirely new since we don’t know where fruits come from yet.

I wonder if we’ll get any background on the encyclopedia and who compiled it.

He seems to be aware that Gear Fifth bestows freedom because “it’s when I’m freest” is how he describes it to Bonney at the start of the arc when she asks about it.

playing the new Pirate Warriors 4 DLC and goddamn they really made sure Roger lived up to his title as Pirate King lol. dude just turns the entire battle field into a blender.

if/when they make Pirate Warriors 5 I hope they tone down the amount of time you have to spend sitting around waiting for a backlog of mission dialogue to resolve between objectives. also they should put big news morgan in the game

Didn't Kaku say way back on Enies Lobby that you learn the name of the fruit when you gain its power? If Luffy called all his poo poo Gomu Gomu, then thats probably the name he learned.

As far as I know Lucci said "you can figure out the name of the fruit when you use its power". This can be interpreted a lot of ways but at this point I dont think it means the official name pops into your head, it meant Kaku and Kalifa shouldnt waste energy speculating when it would obvious soon enough what they ate.

(This was mistranslated a lot as far as I can tell)

In a world as casually insane as One Piece, the idea that there is no fruit that turns you into a rubber man is absurd.

Other than the smile fruits I don't get the impression that new ones ever just pop into existence, especially with them playing up the gum-gum fruit's absence as significant (otherwise you'd expect Vegapunk to say something like "oh well, guess it just started appearing in the last few years then"). My guess would be they've all been passed down since at least the Void Century

There’s new as in just freshly created and there’s new as in like, newly documented. Presumably if the only users of a certain fruit were in like, Wano historically, they wouldn’t be understood or documented as devil fruits unless encountered by an outsider. Assume the giraffe and soap fruits were more like that than actually brand new never before seen.

It's hard to say. I'm trying to think of fruits that are only possible with more modern technology but the ancient kingdom's technological sophistication makes that impossible. I'd thought it might be possible that the Nika fruit didn't actually exist until Luffy manifested it due to the legend propagating enough. But I'd need to reread a lot of dialogue to feel more strongly about it. I'd sort of assumed as everyone's legends and myths changed new fruits would be possible but maybe devil fruits are locked into the dreams of 1000 years ago.

Eh. I'm glad he didn't drop more hints about it, as it tracks completely with what we've already seen. But we've also seen a guy with a dino power use that to torpedo his head, neck, and tail out of his torso. The whimsical nature of how Oda's handled powers was a nice disguise for the more weird of Luffy's "rubber" abilities.

I think of other fighting manga's and struggle to think of a neater power-up that actually changed fundamentally how someone fought and wasn't just more glowing / spikier hair / a bigger beam, etc. G5 fights have been so dang delightful.
