TIME TO ROC N' ROLL

rannum posted:

How many times now has Luffy just gone "JOIN MY CREW" and we just handwave a position later. I am pretty sure, at the very least ,he had no position planned for Robin or Jinbei. The former is just uhhhhh archeologist sure whatever and the latter he declared himself the helmsman like 3 years ago

It's easier to list the ones that were after the fact, actually.

Usopp came with the boat and took a while to actually have a defined role. Robin made up her own role. Jinbei made up his. But then you have Zoro, who was always basically first mate even if it wasn't explicit. Nami was always navigator. Sanji was always cook. Chopper was always doctor. Franky was always shipwright. Brook was always musician.

Ten bucks says it'll be Law since he's basically the backup protagonist at this point.

EDIT: Not as a SH member, just for that one fight.

We already got one 4 days ago, we are getting one Sunday barring any weird delay, and we are presumably getting one the 26th unless Oda is taking the double issue off.

Sure, Luffy doesn't always have a plan but I'm pretty sure Oda does for the new crew members, which is why everyone has a role.

Don't know why I'd listen to these PSAs from a bunch of people who have literally never been sick a day in their life. Lets hear from Nami, at least we know she's actually susceptible to bacterial infections.

Luffy will purposely stand six feet away and show everyone that nothing can stop proper precautions such as washing your hands.

Wooooooow. Super cathartic to see the Straw Hats stomping some of the Beast Pirates fodder, very well drawn too. Anyone paying attention to Oda's art these last few chapters? It's obviously improved, more detail, more shading. Onigashima right there in the distance is ominous. :toot:

English chapter's out by the way, but the translation on the first translation is about as rough as it gets.

Seeing that spread of the Strawhats standing over the defeated pirates was just one of the best thing's Oda has drawn in ages. Plus Franky's face when he asks if anyone wants to drink to celebrate. It is just great to have the whole crew together in one spot rolling the fodder over so casually, with everyone being shocked at them doing it. I forgot just how much I enjoy when they do that because it has been so long since they've all been in one spot at the same time.

It's gonna surpass Enies Lobby imo. Like, Enies Lobby has many immediately memorable high points of manga in general. And the thing that Wano can't beat about W7/EL is how finely crafted they are and how each chapter after the next is just consecutive punches, really tightly woven back to back moments. But I feel like the general level of quality we're gonna witness from here on is gonna be quite a few orders of magnitude higher than what we got back in EL. And if an arc like Fishman freaking Island can have standout moments, considering what Wano has to accomplish for the story, multiply that by a ton.

Enies Lobby has some of the best moments in anime/manga history, Robin's declaration and Merry's funeral being obvious. But as far as important strides for the story go, Wano's gonna absolutely slaughter it. And given that Oda has shown that he's still absolutely on his A game, I don't fear for the future of the arc at all. It took a long while to get here but we're finally back to the "back to back gut punches" style of OP. Oda was just lining things up for eons to make sure he could hit the highs he needs to hit and that they had enough weight.
