Man made horrors beyond my comprehension island, sweet. My money is on Vegapunk being some kind of android or drone. Between the weird oldtimey speaking translator note and what looks like 'PUNK 02' on the shirt, it seems fishy.

It would be very funny if Lucci decides to try to stealthily take out all the Vegapunks after he learns Luffy is on the island, which in turn leads him into being Caribou'd

Maybe this is a silly thing to be bugged by after a thousand chapters, but has anyone else felt like the fan service has really been accelerating lately? I don't watch the anime but I've heard that it always goes over the top. This chapter, specifically that one pose from Bonney when she's talking about her dad, gave me real Western comics vibes. Who was that one artist who would always draw women in ridiculous contortions if you did anything more than glance at them? That kinda vibe was what struck me. Still a really good chapter overall. I'm glad Law's crew is earning their keep too. Being particularly good at fighting on the sea and the sentiments against devil fruits totally fits with the submarine ship and explains why they have always felt ignorable on land. For a story about pirates, we've really had remarkably few fights at sea.

DeadBonesBrook posted:Can't read Poneglyphs? Better Call Saul 1066 Honestly I think a couple things are going on here. Vegapunk, turbo genius that he is, didn't put 2 and 2 together about Ohara until after he had read all the entire contents of the library and came to the same conclusion. Even if Dragon suspects the books are important, it would be incredibly unlikely that he knew why. Vegapunk could have maybe filled him at some point, it's not really clear when he read all of these books but it would obviously take time and one of two things has to be true. He either recently finished his theory and didn't poke his nose around subtly enough, which is why the government suddenly wants to kill the only guy keeping them a step ahead of the pirates. Or he's been sitting on this for a while and the government only just found out. Personally I think it's the former, just because it makes more sense that the government is panicking and tries to carpe the diem by sending one of their top hitters into Wano for an opportunistic shot at Luffy and/or Robin. Also as a bunch of other people have pointed out, Dragon is just kind of Like That. I guess living your life on the run won't exactly make you much of a sharer. By the time Rogue One rolled around, Saw Guerara was pretty hosed up mentally and physically, Dragon doesn't even have a hentai tentacle truth detector to put his mind at ease.

Wii Spawn Camper posted:gently caress yes I really like how it dovetails in with all the other inherited wills themes too. Luffy is an incredibly creative martial artist, but he has that power backed up and amplified by the wishes of people all over the world whereas many of the other characters we see are carrying on the passions of their parents or mentors. Also it's not in like some hacky spirit bomb type deal. I assume that if Luffy for whatever reason experienced a personality shift and turned into another tyrant, that force multiplier would either vanish or be greatly diminished. It would be really easy to write it as just another Chosen One trope, but it works here for me because it's specifically several things coming together in the right time and place.

Eiba posted:I think it's a real lack of imagination to think the only reason he could be covering for a twin is for the purpose of a "lazy gotcha twist". From the earliest time we've seen Blackbeard he's had a particular ambition and a particular way of pursuing it. He's been after the Darkness fruit since before the earliest moment we've seen him. There's gotta be a reason for that. "It just suits me" would be a much less interesting development than him having some sort of specific plan we don't know about yet, possibly related to something the Rocks Pirates. I think it's also got to tie in with the Devil Fruit lore we are starting to get. He's one of the few people to have read the encyclopedia of devil fruits iirc and has been set up as a master opportunist who can also work towards long term goals. Like if you know you have the personality type to really master a certain fruit, the context that makes a particular fruit powerful against other DF users and possibly some weird mutation to put yourself over the line then it's an engineered perfect storm of destruction. Tldr I think people get way to caught up in the weird body thing and miss the forest for the trees.

I generally can ignore quippy dialogue if it's even somewhat more thought out than "well THAT just happened" stuff. But it just feels kinda wrong coming out of Luffy's mouth. If Usopp had said that I don't even think I would have noticed beyond maybe a polite, bemused chuckle at the in sync response. It does make sense to me on a meta level why they would make that choice though. Luffy's primary conversation settings are Meat and Adventure so if you want to give your lead actor some more lines you've got to go somewhere with it. Also I don't really mind Nami in this? I think a lot of people are glossing over that she's a bit standoffish and planning to rob the rest of the crew at the first opportunity in the run up to Arlong Park. I'm hoping that once we hit that episode she can open up a bit more into the only sane person keeping the crew from drowning.

Posting this trailer at the start of a 4 week break is either a violation of the Geneva convention or the greatest possible gift. We are lined up for a solid month of dissecting every frame of this and arguing about Stuff My Uncle Who Works At Nintendo told me about producing a television series.

Finished the live action version last night. I think I liked this version of Syrup Village more than the original, but I couldn't help missing Jango. Is he basically superfluous to the plot? Sure, but he's just such a dumb bit that I would have loved to see again. Michael Jackson impersonator slash hypnotist who also hypnotizes himself half the time sets the weirdo curve early.

DizzyBum posted:OPLA: Hachi is actually the fishman with the spiky hair playing cards with Nami. I missed this and had to look it up. He's there, but he's heavily redesigned and doesn't seem to be an octopus fishman (at least, not overtly). further OPLA I wonder if it was really just a fishman budget issue, I didn't bother to scour the crowd scenes or anything but all of them seemed to be the basic humanoid two arms and two legs template.

Raspberry Bang posted:Would love to see special edition hardcovers like what Dark Horse did with Berserk. I would rebuy the whole series. Same, starting a physical collection of One Piece was on my list after I finish Berserk. The volumes are pricy but nice quality and they look amazing on a shelf. Hell even a non-gimmick version of that super long one volume thing with continuous art down the side could be great.

If she even refers to anyone on the crew by name it's exceedingly rare up until the end of Skypiea at minimum, preferring to use their roles on the ship.

So Kuma is also part Lunarian or something yeah? There was an offhand comment from Bonney saying he wasn't exactly human but I'm not really sure in what regard. It would maybe explain where Vegapunk got Lunarian stuff for the Seraphim but Kuma doesn't really have that same coloration so I don't know what to think. It's wild how a series can run for this long and still get better with every chapter

tbp posted:is there a chance blackbeard is a buccaneer? he and kuma have similar features Maybe but I think he's more interesting as a regular human who's a contrast to Luffy both physically and emotionally. Namely Luffy is physically small and impulsive where Blackbeard is much larger (lol compared to size creep of others though) and opportunistic but a schemer. I don't think it would weaken the overall story to the point it drives anyone off but I am super done with MaGiCaL SpEcIaL GiRl BlOoDLiNeS as a post hoc explanation for why characters pull things off.

Good chapter, still unsure how the best boy in the world will end up with a moniker like the tyrant after this. I can only assume that he will end up on the throne and have to do something horrible to meet the tribute while acting as cover for the revolutionary army.

Fishman Island also had the terrible luck to be right after an incredibly hype midpoint of the series into a historically long break and anticipation of all the new crew designs. Anyways I know Chopper's old hat is just under a hood or something in his new design but it's always kind of bugged me that he would gently caress with Hiriluk's hat. It would be like Luffy coming back with feathers in his cap (and perhaps insisting on macaroni)

He's got that weird metal jaw thing going on, same as the marine from like chapter 2. I always wonder if that's just a thing Oda thought was cool or if there's some story there. Either way I feel like getting the Baron Underbeit operation implies a pretty hard dude. You either survive an injury that takes your jaw off or just do it for style points.
