Yeah after the chateau blew up and the straw hat and fire tank pirates escaped, they gave Gangster Gastino his heart back and he just flew away like Poochie, and hasn't been seen since. It honestly felt like a really anti-climactic resolution to that dangling plot thread and I wouldn't be surprised if he was one of the next cover stories (please for the love of god wrap up the Bege cover story, it has easily been one of the longest and most boring in all of one piece)

They split up in dressrosa and didn't entirely meet back up again until Wano! Re: cover story - Chiffon wants to find Lola, who was spotted in dressrosa. Bege and the gang roll up there to find its swarmed by the "Germ" pirates, who are being pursued by marines. The germ pirates infect people with the kiss kiss germ to make them start smooching people at random I guess. Chiffon got caught by the marines, and now (since bege and the others are too busy being attacked by kisses) it's up to Gotti to save her.

Ghost Leviathan posted:One Piece does seem like Oda's specifically studied Dragon Ball and both emulated its successes and learned from its failures, especially when it comes to power scaling and escalation. I think a key thing is that dirty fighting and orthogonal tactics never really stop being relevant, with both protagonists and antagonists making use of psychology, poison, and exploiting weaknesses to win fights as much as raw strength. The whole assassination attempt on Big Mom is one big case of this, involving use of trickery, psychology, poison and flaw exploitation all at the same time. Sorry to be that guy but Katakuri is a Paramecia. Oda fixed it in the volume so he’s a special Paramecia type, whatever that means

They handle the retcon in a fun way where Katakuri actively pretends like he has a Logia power to fake people out and Luffy only figures it out mid-fight.

Bad news everyone. Oda got sick-nothing too serious-but apparently there will be no chapter this week as a result. That is all.

I’m pretty sure he didn’t get hurt but he was coming down with a bad case of drowning so he fell unconscious immediately after beating the main arc villain offscreen. God Zoro’s cool

It would also be ironic given the Jump mangaka overwork and all the cigarettes if that's what did him in.

I am genuinely terrified of Oda dying before he finishes One Piece. It is without doubt one of the greatest works ever made and seeing it unfinished or completed by his apprentices, no matter how good their intentions, would be a travesty. I don't even care how weeby this makes me sound.

its worse because japan is at the point events and school are being cancelled because of the number of corona virus cases. we dont need anyone wishing death that is a very real possibility.

If Oda has the coronavirus odds are he's going to be fine he's not 60+ years old which is where the age bracket almost all the deaths are focused on.

Speaking of Oda’s health how many breaks has One Piece had over the last year or so? It feels like they happen a worrying amount.
|
# ? Feb 27, 2020 23:25 |

It usually releases 3 weeks of every 4 so just regular breaks. Seems like a lot of jump series do that now

the fan base normally: WHERE THE gently caress IS THE CHAPTER?? the fan base when oda is sick: oh god oda please rest as long as you need to not die

RatHat posted:Speaking of Oda’s health how many breaks has One Piece had over the last year or so? It feels like they happen a worrying amount. Ever since the big health scare Oda had while writing the Dressrosa Arc, it has been a fairly consistent 3 regular releases followed by a week break. I'm theorizing that this is something Shueisha up on top demanded of Oda because they don't want him (and all the money One Piece makes) to die off, so they are compromising to ensure Oda's longevity. The break schedule only appears more chaotic than that because it doesn't factor in weeks where the whole magazine goes on break, such as on holidays or double issues, so there's a pretty high chance of another break after this next chapter comes out.

I think the breaks come so consistently that people can make a chart showing when they'll happen alongside Jump's usual breaks. And yet, somehow, every single year I forget all of this and fall into despair

I just got volume 95 in the mail and it covers from Law/Hawkins in jail up to Roger hearing about Oden in the flashback. drat, I forgot about the march of the Awakened beasts towards Kaidou's hideout - that poo poo is gonna be nuts to see in a big fight!
