Given Netflix these days I very strongly doubt this show will run for very many seasons, but I'm kind of curious as to how the show would handle future arcs. Season 2 being Baroque Works seems like the easiest bet in the world, but I wonder if they'd try to consolidate or rush through Skypeia at the end of that season or the beginning of Season 3 to get to Water 7/Enies Lobby quicker. I don't think they'd skip it because even ignoring all the poo poo that you'd want to cover like Blackbeard and Luffy going up against Enel, you desperately need at least one arc between Alabasta and Water 7 where Robin is present. I think it'd be a real challenge for them either way though because I feel like Skypeia doesn't quite have enough going on to support a full season. Maybe that's just the fact that Skypeia's never been my favorite arc speaking, though.

Now I'm really trying to figure this out, though. If they did, like, 4-5 episodes of Jaya and Skypeia, 1 of Long Ring Long Land to introduce Aokiji (I have no faith they would cover the Davy Back Fight but they should), they could do 2-3 episodes of Water 7 and leave the rest on a cliffhanger.

What a strange way to announce when Film Red is coming to the US

As part of a broadcast of a college football game for USC

I think they had the marching band perform OP songs as part of a tie-in, that might be part of why. I remember hearing something to that effect. Still weird, obviously.

e: yeah

The rubber body thing is contrived, sure, but it's fundamentally an excuse to take the power to its most absurd limit, and it does that without ever undermining how utterly goofy Luffy's powerset is, so I appreciate it. I've mentioned it before but I really love that Luffy's power is all about comically deforming his own body. Gear 4 kinda went too far for a while in that it was too traditionally "badass," but Gear 5 is perfect in that regard.

I don't think this is the real Vegapunk for a couple different reasons, but it'd be funny if, hypothetically, Oda just, like, forgot about saying he's a dude earlier until people point it out, and then had to backtrack quickly. Serialized storytelling can get weird/fun like that

Pre-timeskip One Piece has better and more frequent emotional payoffs, but I really like the way post-timeskip One Piece emphasizes the scale of the story.

The best part of that bit is, of course, Robin reminding everyone that they'd have to be crewmates with Foxy, so they can't just take him

She was already a character in the show a while back (she was Otohime), but that's about as good as you could hope for. Still probably gonna see it subbed for Ado.

I feel like the idea that Sugar's power wouldn't work on someone with strong Haki like Law or Luffy is contradictory to the whole point of Usopp's big scene in Dressrosa where he retraumatizes her.

I don't actually care about Law shaking off Doc Q's power here, but I like that scene in Dressrosa so I don't like people suggesting that.
