The ultimate payoff to the Katakuri fight is one of the best things to happen in OP's ridiculously long history. The reveal about his face and true nature to is wonderful, and pure One Piece. I can't imagine any other big Shonen being able to pull off a reveal like that and make it equal parts ridiculous, funny, badass, tragic, silly, and serious all at the same time.

Makes sense that a character in One Piece who's set up to be deadly serious with a design that looks more out of Berserk would turn out to be goofier than he first seems, but the way they pulled it off was something special. Especially with how it ties into everything about Big Mom's hosed up family.

theres so many perfect moments in the fight!! luffy having to put the glass shards in his mouth, spit them out while getting brutally pummled by katakuri and smile into the shards to reassure his crew is one of those moments where you just "get" how much he understands his role. and that's not even a major moment!

the post-fight scene between Katakuri and Brulee is one of my favorites. Brulee's smile as she tells him she's already seen him through the mirrors and his embarrassed reaction is just so

I will wait to give an update until I finish Little Garden or get to a break in the action at least, but Zoro starting to chop his own legs off sure was something. Dude already has a chest scar. I wouldn't be surprised to find out he loses his eyes or a limb or something and is still like I WILL BE GREAT SWORDSMAN

I stopped by the One Piece thing at Tokyo Tower last weekend. There’s a fully sculptured Nami there that is terrifying.

Candy Man, Katakuri, and Brulee were the highlights among the Charlottes for me. Oven was pretty cool too what with his whole heating up the loving ocean itself to burn the Fishmen.

A lot of the siblings are pretty hosed up tho, like the one who was almost crushing on Katakuri before seeing his real face and immediately went to mocking him. And the way Pudding was treated. They're a dysfunctional criminal family with a horrible matriarch who encourages all their worst traits (just like her parental figures did for her own) and the good ones are the ones who acknowledge it and either try to take control of things in their own way or get the hell out. Katakuri used to be a cool laid back guy and look where that got him. I may have said before, but in a lot of ways, Big Mom seems like a counterpart to Luffy without his good traits. Both of them were raised with the idea of joining the Marines, in which case feeding them would probably be a bigger problem for the Marines than pirates, both have massive appetites and favourite foods, both are very open-minded about new and strange things and love inviting weird people to join their crew (but Big Mom's egalitarian policy is pretty skin-deep given she openly calls a couple of her own kids freaks, she's basically a rainbow imperialist) and they're both pretty whimsical and silly people who need their crew to keep them from doing even dumber things than they normally do. (but there's hardly anyone that can restrain Big Mom anymore)

Okay so the crew is just leaving Little Garden and whew that was nuts. The two giants were cool as heck, and I was worried for a second they were going for a 'part of the crew sides with one giant, part of the crew sides with the other giant' thing but I'm glad they just went with a more 'everyone is bros here' vibe. Looks like I was correct on Baroque Works sticking around to be a major enemy in the early part of the Grand Line. Setting the ale up to detonate was a gosh dang dirty trick  seeing Dorry get cut down was so sad. Totally not ok Baroque is a poo poo evil org. I may have missed it during the arc but they both have 10m berry bounty on them, so does that mean they were pirates? Like...a giant pirate crew?! I wonder if I'll more giants down the line on some ridiculously huge boat. Usopp was...good! I can see what people were saying about him really growing into his role and being a Batman type dude with his various slingshot tools. The fake out with the exploding star actually being a fiery pepper star was genius and lmao. Dude is definitely a regular guy trying to make a presence in a world of people with some bizarre powers. Speaking of the powers. Mr 3 with his Wax power was just so silly. Turning everyone into wax statues was such an over the top way to get rid of them but Zoro striking a cool death pose was pretty great. Luffy was pretty cool using the wax as a hammer basically to smack people around. Getting caught up in the little paint girl power was pretty funny. The flat out "I DON'T WANNA HELP YOU" owned, and the cringe when he was talking about the tea was great. I didn't really like Mr 5 with his dumb exploding booger and breath crap. He was mostly annoying and didn't have great interactions. Same with his partner. Sanji posing as Mr 3 and getting the eternal pose after dunking on those animal bros was great. I feel like so far most fights in One Piece leave out one person from the crew to do something else or be knocked out, at least Sanji did something cool. I think Zoro had a bigger capture than Sanji though.

Looks like I was correct on Baroque Works sticking around to be a major enemy in the early part of the Grand Line. Setting the ale up to detonate was a gosh dang dirty trick No spoilers in this post if you're worried about that. I'd be careful reading random posts in the thread though, if you're not like me who just gets more excited about a series from spoilers. I think Little Garden is some of the start of "how will the crew escape this nonsense!?" side of One Piece. In East Blue, the weakest sea, they were mostly wrecking, besides Mihawk and to a lesser extent Smoker. Little Garden is the first that I remember that they're exposed to a threatening situation that will kill all of them if they don't destroy it quickly. Not saying you, but the reason that OP is said to have a slow start is, well, it does lol. Very purposely. Oda outright tells people that East Blue is the weakest sea, so I don't get why some newbies are like "when does this pick up?" even back at East Blue when the narrator outright tells them that it ain't poo poo compared to the Grand Line. It picks up past East Blue, by design. The minute the Grand Line was introduced, I was just waiting to get to that. I'm also glad you recognized Baroque Works is a recurring thing, some people get to Little Garden and think OP is aimless, when in fact there's this Baroque Works mega-plot going on in the background the whole time. Zoro's moment there is great, and yeah I liked Sanji's moment on the Den Den mushi. I really enjoyed Miss Goldenweek's powers, the fact that they're not a Devil Fruit is crazy.

Luffy is hungry Luffy though. Big Mom is Prader-Willi Luffy which I had look up the name of and it's surprising how her food-related behaviors match up the hunger-related symptoms of the disease.

I think even more emphasis can be added because Luffy actually gets repeatedly mad/frustrated that he has to eat in his fights (biscuits 'n mochi mmmmm). I honestly couldn't see Luffy raising a stink about eating during a fight at any other point in the manga.

Gotta roll back the clock to Movie Chat real quick because someone lumped movies 8 and 9 together. Movie 8 is the Alabasta Arc compressed badly into one movie and it is poorly animated. The worst offense is every major fight-ending moment getting capped with like entirely too long freeze frames. Movie 9 is the Drum Arc with Vivi replaced by Franky and Robin plus a bonus villain. It is well animated minus some iffy snow CG and it is a blast to watch because the Drum Arc is outstanding always.

Im suprised to see so many people were middling on Film Gold because I thought it was great. The third act dragged but Ive never really liked the fights in One Piece anyway (although Bacarrats power and defeat were great). The setup and heist were both a hell of a lot of fun to watch. They might have went a LITTLE nuts with the fanservice cameos towards the end but it wasnt enough to drag the movie down for me.
