Advice posted:

Ways Zou will be totally hosed in the anime:

-Having Jack "clash" with people repeatedly instead of one-shotting them like the monster he is. Nobody but Daydog and Nightcat should be able to stomach a blow from him.
-Probably having Sanji clash with Sheepshead and others instead of also handily dispatching them.
-Some bullshit made-up minks to fill screen time, I'm guessing some annoying kids
-I bet Chopper gets an entire episode with that deer assistant and doctor mink looking for a flower or some garbage
-God I hate the anime team

whoa whoa that's way too much creativity there, chief! gotta fit in the same one off joke from the manga repeated 2-3 times in every episode!

-the anime team

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



if you thought Dressrosa with all of it's toys was wacky it's got nothing on Totland

Hahahah holy poo poo.

Big Mom has created a deranged fairy tale and this arc is going to be amazing.

Also, Pudding should elope with Sanji and be the Straw Hats' patissier. I think Luffy would approve.

I wonder if Big Mom has like a.... Living-Living Fruit or something? That makes inanimate objects into people.

Also building a multiracial utopia just so you can turn everyone into various treats is so fiendishly evil, I love it

Brilliant!!
This arc is going to be so interesting, and it's going to form a nice little parallel with Dressrosa. Everyone in Dressrosa was being manipulated by Doffy & crew (whether they knew it or not, due to Sugar) and so when poo poo hit the fan, people got their memories back, and Doffy went full "I'm going to kill everyone on the island to keep my secrets safe" mode, the residents of the island we're cheering for Luffy since they wanted to be saved. The same thing happened on Fishman Island too. This is going to be different because not only does it seem like the residents are happy with life on the islands under Big Mam (we don't know to what degree she has full control), but Big Mam also doesn't seem like the type to spite the entire country just to get Luffy. Big Mam has shady business dealings, and is probably evil enough to warrant a beating from Luffy, but the residents of the country will probably side with Big Mam in the event of a direct conflict.

This is going to be quite interesting. I wonder how Luffy would deal with wanting to beat up a "bad" person who is being defended by innocent civilians.

This is going to be an absolutely batshit bonkers arc, I love it. :allears: There's got to be something horribly twisted under all the seemingly overly-happy and sunshine literal Candy Land aesthetic, like even more so than Dressrosa. I think like the earlier poster said, Big Mom probably wants a diverse multiracial utopia to make the widest variety of treats to eat as possible. She's probably regarded as a living goddess here in Totland.

Also really digging the new travelers' clothes. Nami's German barmaid outfit is sick.

Earlier chapters gave the Alice in wonderland feeling, but now its starting to feel like Grimm's fairy tales.
Totland also means dead land in German.

The townspeople straight up call her Pudding, even though that wasn't on her name card. She is definitely Sanji's fiance and the girl with three eyes from the first time we saw Big Mom.

I, for one, hope that the ruthless senior lieutenant of an Emperor ends up in a happy long-term relationship with Sanji. I mean, we all know that there's something up with Pudding, but it'd suck and be boring for her to be totally, irredeemably evil under that cutesy exterior.

I will be significantly bummed out if she turns out to be moustache-twirlingly evil, she's got a good gimmick already with wanting to be a great patissier especially considering who she's to be wed to. If they came on board as a married couple that'd be rad.

I am, however, assuming that even if she turns out to be a decent person overall, she'll have a much, much darker side than we've seen so far. I'm sort of thinking Trafalgar Law or Bon Clay-tier here. Which could be pretty fun in itself.

Did you miss the panels where she sings about the ingredients and there's the fallen bodies of the people of those lands protecting it? Her candy utopia is literally built on the plundered resources of various islands. That's already pretty messed up in its own right. There's probably more on top of it, but the tip of the iceberg that's already shown is pretty large in its own right.

I'd be charitable in the utopian aspect though in that it's probably more of an egalitarian thing where she doesn't care about race, only about the best. (and if they taste great too, then double the value!)

Big Mam and her fairytale land is probably a shout out to Mother Goose with a touch of the witch from Hansel and Gretel.
