All of the Luffy's defeated villains joining forces would be one hell of a final arc.

Straw Hats each get to take one down.

Was giving the One Pace version a crack so I didn't have to read it again, cause I remember hating it.

Now I remember why

Wonder when Noah is going to show up repaired and primed for use by Luffy.

When Vander Decken "threw" that giant ship at Princess Sarahoshi, was it a straight shot or did it curve upwards/downwards as it traveled?

It curved up and then down initially until she peaced out to make it not crush everyone.

Shirahoshi then takes a page out of The Prometheus School of Running Away From Things, and swims straight upwards for quite some time so it later starts dropping directly back on Fisherman Island.

fisher tiger flashback was good though

Yeah, but was also the start of too many flashbacks within an arc being a thing for me.
(Fisher Tiger still v cool)

Fights were dull, and I don't think the Straw Hats really had a good chance to show off their new power sets.
Though they do a good job of showing that they can hold back an army 100k strong by being absolute units, you just don't get the good 1v1 fights you were expecting.

The arc DOES set up a bunch of poo poo though right at the end for world building setup as they enter into the New World. Think this is the first appearance of the original Four Emperors?


Ambiguously Defined Kaidou and Big Mom

The best One Piece arcs are the ones that don't pause fights to ram 50 chapters of tragic backstory down your throat.

DBZ where kids suddenly can fuse together and for reasons are now the ultimate power.

DB Super has gotten stupid with this poo poo. Frieza rocks up in the latest chapter, announces he's been training off screen ~magically for 10 years~ and proceeds to clown on everyone.

It's just a never ending treadmill of power-ups with no story pay off.

Yeah, I'm pretry sure Atlas is a gender-flipped Astro Boy as an homage to Tezuka and the giant robot is Gigantor. :allears:

Yeah I was coming in to say this after another read. Very very much Astro+Uran in design, and Atlas being the name of one Astro Boys main villains.

Lilith is also feeling very Gainax-posey in her intro and outfit. So could be a bit of a Gunbuster homage, plus Lillith referencing Eva for her name

Shaka giving me Saiyaman vibes from the helmet design as well

Also, there are some awesome shots with their wanted posters




I know that the movies are non-cannonical, but in this instance it's weird because of the Uta episodes they've put into the anime.

The Wanted reward levels + Jinbei's inclusion implies that he joined the Straw Hat crew, and then they immediately halt their assault on Onigashima to go to Uta's concert :v:

I know it's his gimmick by now, but it'd be nice for Usopp to just merc some nerds in an arc for once without getting brutalised in the process. They have to start treating the Straw Hats as an Emperors crew.

Im going to see it today. I want to see the dub showing but it's at 5 pm (I'm out of work at 4 thankfully) and I'm worried that'll mean most of the older fans won't be seeing it and it'll just be Anime Teens. I could wait for a later sub showing but idk. I haven't really gone to theaters for the last few years for obvious reasons and I just want a good audience experience

Last anime film I caught at the movies was Promare and it ruled hard.
