Eiba posted:I mean, as soon as someone said "That thing ate my daughter!" you knew it was gonna get cut open and everyone was going to be fine. If that wasn't going to be a plot point they just wouldn't mention anything specific. Perhaps there would be mention of "casualties" if it was going for a really dark tone. This isn't one of those "Oda wants the drama of people dying, but feels bad about killing characters off" things. It was clearly an over the top folk-hero legend from the start. oh i agree, it's awesome and completely on point for an over the top folk-hero legend it's also just really funny to see the narration say "the monster ate an entire village of people, but thankfully no one died"

I'm at work and can't check but is it possible that the guy with the face covering straw hat in the chapter illustrations years ago is Zoros teacher retracing the Straw Hats journey and is going to show up in Wano?

Nope, he's still checked back on in cover arcs and he's teaching students at the dojo still.

CodfishCartographer posted:Lots of good Buggy content in Stampede got me thinking. My prediction for the ending: Buggy is there when Luffy finds the One Piece, and asks to like, hold onto it for just a sec. Buggy then runs off with it and declares himself king of the pirates. Luffy gets that "I'm gunna kick your fuckin rear end" look in his eyes, and the Buggy is like JUST KIDDING HAHA YOU'RE THE REAL KING OF THE PIRATES I WAS JUST TESTING YOU. This is great and I would laugh my rear end off if this actually happened.

I've always liked Buggy seems to give no shits about the One Piece. Truly, Captain Buggy is so good and pure that his heart has no room for greed.

Come to think of it, it’s weird that the WG didn’t ask Buggy to tell them everything he knew about One Piece and Laugh Tale when he became a Warlord. Or maybe they did ask and he either had no useful information or lied.

The Orochi reveal definitely cements his status as a stand-in for Toyotomi Hideyoshi I believe.

Oda is playing real fast and loose with whom represents whom Orochi is definitely inspired by and definitely is (fictional dramatizations of) Hideyoshi-coded: i.e a cruel idiot who backstabbed his way into power.

Especially a bit funny since you already had the original three Admirals as representations of the Three Uniters, with the Nobunaga equivalent currently in power and characterised by total ruthlessness and a penchant for scorched-earth destruction. Oddly enough it means basically splitting the positive and negative portrayals of Nobunaga into two characters, probably fitting since recent Japanese historians and art have given him a more nuanced look in retrospect. (Mostly that the nasty stuff Nobunaga did in retrospect isn't any worse than what other rulers did as a matter of course except that he didn't give a poo poo about the rules) While Kizaru is the other equivalent of Hideyoshi and more of a space case, though no less ruthless when he has an actual task to accomplish. I don't know if we've seen a Wano equivalent of Ieyasu yet. Mind you, I know most of what I do about these people from Pokemon Conquest and other people's discussions on the topic.

As someone who also only studied the Sengoku era through the lens of videogames, I can say that neither Oden or Akainu is Dracula enough to represent old Nobs.

He told them everything, but every time they asked the answer was different, because no one is able to learn about Raftel and the One Piece without going on the adventure. Except Ace and every other D we've seen die. They're smiling because they're told the truth just before they die. One Piece is actually the name of the combination Mecha whose home base is Raftel. Roger left all his gold inside the right leg mech. Gyges fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Nov 1, 2019 |

I would hate for all the Straw hats unique features to be derivatives of past generations. It is why I am constantly worried that it will turn out Gold Roger secretly had the Gum Gum fruit. Im fine with Luffy having his hat and personality, but please let his fighting style be solely his own invention.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:Yeah, I'm pretty sure Zoro is the only bastard crazy enough to try and do that poo poo and it needs to stay that way. He is I’m almost certain, what’s actually going on is a legacy of skill not blood. Oden inspires the fighting style of Zoro’s Master who helps Zoro perfect Three Sword Style is where I think this is going.

It would be pretty funny if Oden placed a sword near his mouth in a dire situation only to pull it away and dismiss the idea as foolish.

Tbh i still kind of suspect that that Gold Roger had the gum gum fruit but no one ever really knew because he never tried doing even basic poo poo like Gum Gum Pistol and it wouldn’t even help negate blunt attacks against haki users so it ended up being worse than nothing for him specifically

I honestly can appreciate the work that’s gone into the flashback. But it’s not particularly interesting to me, I just want more current Wano story instead.

Yeah it's giving me big Skypeia flashbacks of this big flow-breaking flashback that really could have been put anywhere else though not quite as bad since it is during some down time instead of in the middle of the final fight
