Bold of you to think that One Piece will even be over when the manga is (I wouldn’t be surprised if they decided to start a Boruto/Yashahime style sequel series later about a new generation of pirates)

Oda deserves a rest. Let him run an anthology series where he occasionally drops in for some chapters while other authors do stuff in the same world or the same characters (i wanna see a series about the ramen CM straw hats) and possibly in canon

I never said Oda himself would be doing said continuation to be fair, just that it’s probably going to happen at some point with or without him

Speaking of, how long do they plan to keep this filler arc in the anime going? The young Uta/Luffy episodes are done but now they seem to be moving on to a story about Shanks and Koby

Wait, is the idea that Shanks and Coby interacted at some point before the split second when Shanks blocked Akainu's attack, or after? Because I'm not sure when they could have meaningfully interacted beyond that one moment.

Anyway, I do like the way the filler arc gets pre-Gum Gum Luffy's characterization right. He had some similar traits to his current self (wanting to go on adventures, mostly), but he was a self-serious macho brat back then. Having a flashback like this now, after the Nika reveal in the manga and I guess shortly before it in the anime, calls attention (perhaps unintentionally) to a rather disturbing ambiguity: how much of Luffy's change in attitude was due to Shanks' good example, and how much was the Devil Fruit affecting his personality?

Also, it just occurred to be that the Uta backstory explains why Luffy was so obsessed with recruiting a musician.

The episode doesn’t air until this weekend so no idea, I’m just going by what I saw in the preview (though it appears to be another flashback at any rate since the latter looks a bit younger)

Did Vivi's partner actually die, I can't remember

If you mean Carue he was at the Reverie last we saw so hopefully he’s wherever Vivi is currently

If you’re talking about her partner from Baroque Works then no idea (I forget how he went out and if he ever showed up again)

Apparently the Netflix One Piece adaptation will only be 8 episodes (for now anyway), I believe each one is supposed to be about 40+ minutes long though:

Since when could Luffy swim?

Off the subject I watched Film Red recently (there’s a subbed camrip floating around online), it was probably one of the better recent One Piece movies overall and most of the major cameos here felt more natural than they did in the last one at least

One question though for others that have watched it, not sure if I missed something or not but was the Sleepless Mushroom that drove Uta insane established earlier in the movie? I don’t remember it being shown prior to Sanji mentioning that she ate it?

Film Red hits the US next month it would seem:

I wonder how the Celestial Dragons factor into all this as well (they’re completely above most laws and are basically treated like gods)

I also wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out that the WG itself is illegitimate and are essentially the descendants of invaders (they seem pretty scared about anyone trying to learn the truth regarding the Void Century after all)

I'm in the camp of Luffy's dream is to explore outer space, especially based on the reactions of the crew. It's also in the chapter where a spaceship (probably) appears. He's even looking up at the sky when he says it.

Coming 2034 - One Piece GT takes the franchise in a bold new direction!

Okay, this is probably pretty good casting

Also confirmation of dubbed songs, but AmaLee is probably the best person they could get.

Nice, has she ever done voice acting before out of curiosity?

Huh, I always assumed she was just a fan that did anime song covers. Neat

She’s also apparently been in the business since at least 2012:

As I said, it does seem odd to hire someone famous for their music work to play Uta but not let them actually sing. We’ll see how it goes I guess

Watch that theory that Dragon is also Robin's dad end up being true.

She does sort of bare a slight resemblance to Dragon and Luffy (I think it would match up with what little we’ve heard about her father as well).

Anyway good chapter, we finally meet the real Vegapunk and the crew now has a legitimate reason to go to Elbaf

Also didn’t Morgans basically tell the WG to gently caress off a little while back? Why does he suddenly care about making them look better?
