Maybe Brook is the first person to ever have let their flesh rot away before returning his spirit? All prior users got back straight away and died of being stabbed or whatever, Brook just happened to luck into higher 'spirit strength' or whatever which allows him to recapitate himself.

Yeah, his explanation made it sound like that. Imagine all those chumps returning to their bodies immediately and not gaining any powers. He's also said that he had more spirit powers due to his prolonged time spent as a spirit. It's funny that he had 50 years to train, but it only took 2 to gain a whole new dimension to his powers after joining the crew. Must be the Luffy effect. (But how did he learn he could run on water when he was alone at sea? Seems like a dangerous thing to test.)

Also he spent those 50 years in isolation in a fog bank and possibly learning to move and stuff again. Then the intense "leaning against the wall" training began.

Then a few decades after reviving he got caught up by Thrillerbark. Hes actually surprisingly sane and minimally eccentric for a dude who woke up a skeleton and then spent 50 or so years in effective solitary.

Yeah, don't forget that Brook died when Roger was a rookie, well before Thriller Bark even existed. Him losing his shadow was a very recent thing. Not really sure Moria's plan since all the people whose shadows he stole die in sunlight, which seems rather likely (ex, those Marines at Marineford). I guess if you die, your detached shadow doesn't disappear? It also seemed they were a bit confused on if the body or the shadow gave the result its personality, especially the samurai Brook zombie and the lady slave zombie.

If you die, your shadow dies. Moria didn't really care about losing the shadows of people too weak to make it by living like a vampire. As for personality, zombies only keep aspects of the personality of the original person. Which is why Sanji's zombie eventually was fine with kicking women but still fought with Zoro's zombie.

With the Shadows, a strong personality from the shadow will influence the original, though it's meant to fade over time.

Yes, but there's a scene in Marineford where he steals some marines' shadows to fight Jimbei in mid-daylight. Wouldn't they instantly die and then they'd lose their shadow and be worthless to Moria? Also, he really should consider imprisoning his victims instead of letting them loose to die / coalition against him like they obviously are going to. Making an army from strong people is great, but you better make sure your zombie versions are significantly better than the originals because you instantly make enemies with said strong people who now are united in having only the goal of defeating you.

Is it stealing the shadow that causes you to die in sunlight, or is it the act of merging it with a corpse to make the zombies that does it? If the latter then the Marineford thing would be no issue.

The stealing of the shadow, definitely. Remember the Straw Hats half-melting away in the sun at the end of Thriller Bark? Though I guess at that point their souls were part of Mega-Moria, so I guess either could technically be possible, but I'd lean to the former.

The shadows at Marineford were also used to form Mega-Moria. But yes, it's the lose of the shadow. That's also why they were still dying even after Moria was defeated - because the shadows didn't go straight back to their owners, but arced around to build *tension* while they all burned away.

When Marco had the seastone handcuff on his wrist he should have just cut his hand off and then regenerated it. e: Marco is still my boy though

It just occured to me that Brook doesn't actually need food or water, since he was drifting on that ship for nearly 50 years. Then again he was sipping tea so mqtbe they were really well stocked.

I imagine he didn't because that would hurt like a motherfucker and also has the chance of doing permanent damage since his regenerative powers don't work while he's still wearing the cuffs, so he could chop off his hand and then it wouldn't grow back since he didn't have no powers to grow it back with until after he dismembered himself. Also, again, hurt like a motherfucker.

During the timeskip Brook had an urgent reason to innovate and find ways to break through his limits to be ready for the New World with Luffy and co. Chilling on a dead ship for X amount of years doesn't have nearly the same urgency or need to innovate or explore your DF powers.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step. Read a few chapters a day and you'll be caught up pretty quickly. If you've been watching the anime you can pretty much just jump in where the anime left off and be caught up in a day or two.

Yeah it'd hurt like hell but probably less than losing Whitebeard and Ace. Though I think his regen has limits anyways but if not he should have done that. Spoilered cos of person new to series in thread. RE: This week's episode. You just got Frogwelled, son!

Any dork that is excited for the Warcraft movie but is unimpressed to rolling their eyes at Batman vs Superman and Civil War needs to go ahead and turn in their dork card. That is unacceptable levels of fanboyism, and they should be ashamed. But yes, the true crime of Warcraft will be failing to show how awesome Ragnar can be.

Pica seems crazy overpowered. Seems like he can casually wreck a whole island whenever he wants. Though Zoro can effortlessly cut mountains in half so. I was very excited the preview showed Mihawk. I thought this was a perfect moment to expand on his time training with him. Learn the secret of how he acquired haki. I was very excited. It was exactly what I thought they were going to use the timeskip for. Now I realize the next few weeks are going to be half recaps and also we're still not going to get anything about the timeskip. I guess Zoro and Robin's stories at least should pop up since they are relevant to the some of the plot. I'm still holding out hope. Some of these overhead shots of the city make it look crazy populated. It looks like there are more houses on Dressrosa than on all other islands combined. All the same houses though. I feel like this arc has used more recycled animations than any before. That footstep animation was shown like 3 or 4 times. And that crowd in the coliseum...

It is pretty sad that the current arc is mostly filler and stock footage  At least it's approaching the end, there's only Bellamy, Trebol and Doffy left to deal with, right? So like 50 more episodes full of flashbacks within flashbacks or something.

Holy hell that was good. I ended up finding out what chapter ep 719 was and read it before this episode because I couldnt wait to see what Zoro's fifth plan was. Of course the episode was drawn out, but you know Zoro is super strong when he makes a few thousand people  . I always love Zoro's fights and he doesn't even have a devil fruit power! Getting really sick of Luffy vs Bellamy. I bet the manga didn't show the same footage over and over again like the anime, which makes it feel as if Luffy has been fighting Bellamy for a long time. Just loving knock him out already.
