Buggy This is exactly what I wanted, poor guy is in so far over his head. Luffy in the cage is an amazing gag. Can't wait for Nami's conquerors haki to be pivotal in the next arc.

blizzardvizard posted:In theory Buggy is immune to all physical attacks, slashing or otherwise as long as he splits his body exactly at the points where he was going to be hit. Question is whether he's grown strong/skilled enough to be able to do that. The real test of his limits would be Crocodile. Can he split himself fast enough and small enough to avoid millions of grains of sand?

Eiba posted:I'm pretty sure he got a bit of a boost by partnering with an Emperor and using his underworld connections to finance hits on the Navy. It wouldn't be that high if he was just a guy with a strong ability. Enel would be a target of the World Government because he's learning the secret history of the lunarians in those moon ruins  Also he would probably just fly to Marie Jois and start throwing lightning bolts at celestial dragons.

Silver2195 posted:I don't think Crocodile did have Haki in Arabasta, though. Even pre-timeskip, there are visual cues when Haki is being used that just weren't present. I have no problem accepting that he straight up had a mental block that kept him from using Haki after his loss to Whitebeard, and became able to use it again after losing to Luffy and regaining the resolve to become Pirate King with his own power instead of relying on Pluton.  It was the mysterious power of Ms. Goldenweek's hypnotism (explicitly not a devil fruit) that reawakened his haki during her cover page arc.

drat, this poo poo is crazy. The way Blackbeard was talking makes it sound like stealing devil fruit powers is something the darkness fruit can do. His "weird body"... is because he ate that fruit, not something weird about him from before that, which makes sense. I like the explanation of why Yamato stayed, though I kinda wish we'd just gotten it a couple chapters ago. It does fit with this idea that the WG is done loving around, with their crazy new Lunarian pacifistas. I was half expecting Cross Guild to come to Hancock's aid, but Rayleigh is pretty cool too, I guess

davidHalestorm posted:Yeah, I'm confused at the sequence of events there The little Pacifista attacked Blackbeard, he did the Black Hole but then suddenly the Pacifista is away from Blackbeard and next page, Blackbeard was choking Boa. What? Bad scans maybe? The sequence of events is: - Pacifista is attacking Blackbeard - He uses his fruit to send out some sort of shockwave and knock it away - Hancock uses Slave Arrow to turn everyone except herself, Koby, and Blackbeard to stone - Koby tells the Pacifista to stop attacking so it doesn't smash the statues of marines (including Helmeppo and the vice admiral) - Blackbeard grabs Hancock It looks like Hancock was gearing up for some sort of attack before she got grabbed, the geography of the whole thing is pretty vague but it works dramatically. We don't have time for panels of Blackbear zooming over to her or whatever, there's too much poo poo going on!!

Yeah it's interesting how almost all of his action has been off-screen, fun to finally see him in action again. I love how his crew are just a bunch of mean, dumb shitheads, like the villains in a kids movie

What a good chapter. Love the stuff with the crew on the ship, it's so nice to see that again, feels like it's been ages. I don't think the island was already marked for destruction. It's just unlucky that he's on an island they don't mind annihilating, because it was taken by revolutionaries. Why would Im be destroying some random islands just because the king was deposed? This would be happening all the time if that were all it took. I think he's operating Uranus remotely, from the castle. Maybe using the Big Hat....

What a good chapter! I love the Vegapunk gimmick, this is going to be a really fun arc. I really like the design of Atlas, reminds me of Tezuka or early Akira Toriyama. And so many good gags! Lilith getting intimidated by Zoro while the others continue to freak out and/or be charmed by the cyborg sea beasts! Luffy and co pigging out on the automatic food machine! The holograms! Plus, I'm excited to see CP0 in action. This arc is gonna be great

Jose posted:Luffy was putting up a decent enough fight against kaido he might have won with gear 4 had cp0 not interfered. Lucci should get clowned on I feel like the rest of that fight shows that Kaido was just toying with him, Luffy wasn't anywhere close to winning before going cartoon mode. It still took a LOT of physically impossible beating to take Kaido down after that, it's not like he only did it for the final hit. Gear 5th Luffy fighting Lucci is going to happen because it would be incredibly funny. Someone even MORE serious than Kaido, having to deal with the wacky cartoon man who is nonetheless kicking his rear end? C'mon, that'd be great.

Great chapter. I love how Law calls out Blackbeard for giving everyone on his crew a fruit, and he's just like "well, sure, but it's worth it!" Gives us a very compelling way for Law to win, or at least get away. This really feels like the arc where poo poo is just happening, at a scale and speed that we've never seen before. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a short one like Zou at this rate, it's wild.

Guy A. Person posted:Also even beyond like the “broken will” thing (which we know isn’t the entirely true because we obviously have a lot of people resurge at this point like Cobra and Lucci) there’s still the understanding that once Luffy kicks someone’s rear end it’s not like he is going to turn around and lose to them again since he keeps on getting so much stronger. Like he just casually deflects Cobra in Marineford and the tone is def “Luffy outclasses this guy” Cobra? Vivi's dad was at Marineford???

Caidin posted:I'm waiting to hear the exact explanation behind the Seraphim, beyond whatever other modifications they've had, being based on the original warlords. It probably all ties back into the mysterious Lineage Factor that was mentioned ages and ages ago. Along with both cloning technology and devil fruit technology (feeding devil fruits to inanimate objects, etc), it's not a stretch to think that Vegapunk figured out how to copy/transfer the special "racial" abilities of Lunarians and whatever special race Kuma is.

Well holy poo poo (@chapter)anime was right posted:a huge reveal there where lineage factor contains memories/personality traits and we know devil fruits affect lineage factor It's just like I was saying after the Nika reveal, every fruit is based on some person from the past, Luffy's is just the one where that's most relevant. Or, rather, the first one that we actually know about, because he's the protagonist.

Sometimes companies are extra cautious about names when the rights holders are well known for being litigious. It's just not worth the trouble (though given the length of this series... it would be worth the trouble, actually). See also: Capcom changing the name of the character in The Great Ace Attorney to "Herlock Sholmes". The Doyle estate had just sued Netflix, they didn't want that messing up the launch of an old game in the US. That one is fun because it has historical precedent that makes it airtight. One of the early Arsene Lupin stories has him face off with Holmes, completely unauthorized, written when Arthur Conan Doyle was still alive. He sued, so subsequent reprintings featured Herlock Sholmes instead. Clearly the TGAA character is referencing that legally distinct literary entity.

drat, what a crazy chapter Vegapunk's design is way more out-there than I was expecting, but I love it. Especially when he showed up at the end of the chapter, with just a completely empty skull. Based on the "memorizing all the books" and "I see your head has grown" thing, I'm guessing it's a thing where he has an eidetic memory, and in wacky One Piece physics that means his brain is constantly getting bigger Saul being alive is Cool and Good and I believe it. Robin getting the spotlight, as well as the giants, is unexpected but very cool. We are definitely going to Elbaf, maybe sooner than I thought, this could be a short arc where they get chased away by CP0 and a bunch of Seraphim.

Tree Reformat posted:Kuro is like exhibit A of "oda really did not expect the power creep to get as absurd as it did" because it's hard looking back to see how the dude could ever have been a big deal in One Piece world that arc tried to sell him as given what the actual power players are like in comparison. Why? He could move super fast and use like ten swords at once. His skill isn't impressive... compared to CP9, the world's greatest assassins. The same goes for the vast majority of the population of the planet. It's not a meaningful comparison. The world of One Piece is huge, there's plenty of room for normal pirates and marines going about their business out in the Blues. The Grand Line is a whole different world, and the New World is another level up on top of that.

Hmm, so I guess all the Vegapunks are robots, not only the ones that look like robots. That makes sense. Lucci did say that Atlas was still alive, I wonder if we'll have them all escape, somehow. Lots of good Luffy bits in this chapter. Him agreeing to let Vegapunk join because of his head

Live action One Piece is such a fundamentally bad idea that it will be a massive victory if the show is remotely watchable. They hosed up Cowboy Bebop live action, and that's a series that draws heavy inspiration from film! One Piece is cartoons and manga all the way down!
