All through the Enies Lobby arc, I was wondering how they were going to get Franky to leave his family behind and join the crew.... I had a few guesses.... stealing his underwear relay-style and then Robin crushing his tangerines/grapes/apples was not one of my guesses. Haha.

King Riku might be betting it all on Luffy, but my money's on the man with the fish weapon. Also, in case you didn't pick up on it (like I didn't at first), all of Doflamingo's moves are string puns. Barely. Anything that ends it in a "ait" (like "parasite") or "it" sound is pronounced "ito" in Japanese, ie string (Ito ito no mi). Parasaito Dark Knighito Over Heaito etc The puns and move names in general are some of my favorite parts of One Piece.

Finally we get to see Law's backstory, really looking forward to these episodes, Corazon looks fun. His and Doflamingo's are two of my favourite designs

His and Doflamingo's are two of my favourite designs Finally we get to see Law's backstory told as a backstory to another backstory, which then also needs to branch off to do another backstory. I hope they somehow find a way to add more recursions. Seeing everyone's young designs is fun. It seems that these flashbacks are holding true to the rule that people can only and must die in a flashback (except two notable exceptions). I wonder what Oda's childhood was like... The other rule is that in order to join Luffy's crew, your (, typically, adopted) family must die; which holds here, but I don't see him giving up his own crew to join Luffy's. Not that there was any hint of that anyway. Edit: The nun thing was bizzare. Aside from Zoro's forcibly atheist comments, religion doesn't otherwise seem to exist in their world. A nun really just seems so out of place. Also, "Seeeeestaaaa!" haha Shadow0 fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Jul 13, 2015 |

I'm looking forward to that. I wonder if there's a reason he has a Bible, or if he carries it just because. Also, the Pacifista didn't stay a threat for very long. I guess that probably means Kuma will be getting an upgrade or something by the next time we see him. Don't remember the nuns though.

Shadow0 posted:That's true, I forgot about that. I get the feeling Big Bart isn't gonna show up again for a looooooong time (about the same time Dragon and the revolutionaries become more central). I wanna see some super-rad Kaido of the 100 Beasts and his Zoan army. I'm hoping Oda rolls out a whole new class of Zoan for whatever he is (and you just know he's something awesome). The Mythical Zoans are some of the most powerful fruits/eaters in the world and if Kaido is the top dog Zoan-wise you just know he's got something insane up his sleeve. Also it occurs to me that there are three fruit types and four yonko. Shanks doesn't have a fruit leaving three yonko for three fruit types. Whiteboard/Blackbeard = world- destroying Paramecia fruit (sidebar: Blackbeard theoretically has all three fruit types in his body). If Kaido has the Zoan power equivalent (Mythical Zoan Model: Leviathon (first sea monster and progenitor of monsters?!?) or a kraken or something) that would certainly make sense how he could hold his own against Whitebeard and the like. Only hiccup is Big Mom who doesn't really strike me as a logia character. They tend not to be so "larger than life" like she is. She might have to be paramecia if anything at all but I can't really think of a paramecia on par with Whitebeard's.

Could be a Demaro Black situation (Or a Buggy one...) They could be (though unlikely) not very powerful and have some other (maybe hilarious) reason for their position. For those that read OPM: The King Engine might be roaring. Also Shanks can be Yonko without a fruit and I don't think that a fruit ever necessarily handicaps you, so even a bad fruit doesn't exempt you from being powerful. Though Big Mom doesn't look like she even lifts.

Shadow0 posted:Heh, "top dog". Big Mom lifts big. Her head is the size of some ships it seems. Takes a lot of muscle mass to pull that off. That being said I think she is most likely to have the "gimmick- position" of the yonko. I'm thinking a bait and switch where someone else is pulling her strings. I can't imagine Oda setting up a long fist fight between Luffy and Mom. More likely he either sets her free in some way or they form an alliance and someone else kills her driving Luffy bonkers.

Blackbeard's dark power is the Logia though, so presumably Big Mom would be Paramecia.

That seems like a really lame idea. And Luffy already picked a fight with her, hell technically we're already in the middle of fighting her, we just haven't seen any of it. It's kinda off-putting to have a war on two sides but only get to see one side while we have no idea what's going on with the other.

I don't think he will fight her tbh as I am still expecting her to be Lola's mother. My vague outline is that Luffy beats Kaidou and around that time Shanks loses to Blackbeard which begins the final showdown.

Don't get too attached. I would really like to see more of him and his crew, though I understand thematically why he doesn't play a bigger role.

For whatever reason, both the Pirate King and Shanks passed on their hat to Luffy. I'm wondering what they couldn't do that Luffy will. I also now just realized that Shanks isn't a D. I think there's still a strong possibility that Shank's crew with fight Luffy's. I guess if either case, yeah, sacrifice is pretty much certain. Oda does surprise the audience quite often though.

So in this most recent episode, we had Doflamingo flashing back to running away from the townspeople, which was a flashback from getting captured by the townspeople, which was a flashback from around when Rosintate got stabbed, which was a flashback from Law's past, which is a flashback from the entire One Piece storyline as told by the narrator.

The flashback is really good and we might actually get some light shed on the D name. The true name also sounds pretty interesting. We might even see Doflamingo without the glasses soon.

I'm really enjoying the flash back with Law and now (haven't seen it yet) Doflamingo. What struck me as really odd is the family has gotten really shabby and fat. Their skills seem to have somehow stayed the same or increased but they were all in suits and looked like a Mafia family. Now they're dressed as giant babies and ones a flying squirrel. What happened?

Also presumably the life of a free wheeling pirate is not exactly high on discipline so they probably weren't under any real pressure to stay in shape and the devil fruits make it so they don't need to be physically intimidating to still be lethal.
