Whenever Oden's not on screen, everyone should be asking "Where's Oden?"

At least he has access to a time machine.

This is going to be the most interesting flashback imo cause we'll finally meet Roger for more than 1 panel.

Didn't Garp's and Whitebeard's flashbacks during the war give us Roger having a real conversation?

It did, yeah. The last one had Roger being a giant doofus though, so this should be where we see the real, unfiltered Roger, not depicted as a legendary hero.

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.

I’m usually like this for backstory but this is the rare one I’m really into, along with Laws and Fisher Tiger’s (I guess most of them post-time skip). We know so many of the characters we will see and have for years at this point, and we’ve been building up to Wano for hundreds of chapters, so I’m really invested in this one.

Tsuru and Kinemon are obvious, and Denjiro is clearly going to be important to the main storyline so this is all going to be essential to the core Wano story.

But even if it wasn't, OP Flashbacks rule.

Oden is so cool that every dude being unable to stop themselves from trying to go with him tilted an entire city and if you can't appreciate that how did you get this far?

I'm predicting Orochi is the one responsible for selling out Wano to Kaidou in exchange for being made Shogun, curious as to how that turned out in the flashback.

The former shogun who was pretending to be a poor thief, he was executed by Orochi in a pretty dramatic fashion.

i think we can and frankly should assume that male mountain gods become oni trolls. oars -> mountain god mom -> little oars jr, but also he's called oars III hmmm (second mountain god oni, third mountain god)

and then ace makes a wano hat for him and he loves it just like the ones he used to wear before he left wano

The madmen did it. They did not one, not two, but three ramen commercials centering around a One Piece high school AU, one of which is a literal Anime Music Video.

that owned, I like how they clearly struggled with how to adapt Robin. "She's....lonely? Going to another school??"

I also like the segment that's just "hey here's all these OTHER characters in the AU"

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.

I always assumed Buggy was stuck inside the ship doing manual labor so he could never actually partake in the adventures, or just didn't want to.

At 4:43 there is a silhouette of Oden along with the adaptation of Rodger's crew, and among them a dog and a cat. They were very detailed with adapting references in the commercial.

Robin's not a teacher, she's a transfer student. All of the Straw Hats are 17 except for Brooke who's 18.

Speaking of which, if it wasn't obvious from the imagery, a notice of the dissolution of the Orchestra Club flies by for his segment. I drat near cried.

Echoing all of the sentiment that this is such a work of love. I feel like the artists who got this project freaked the gently caress out at the thought of getting paid to create a beautiful One Piece high school AU that they completely forgot it was supposed to sell Noodles.

I also have no doubt that they put these character designs on noodle cups and they are indeed selling truckloads of them over there.
