I Failed At Anime 2022

I want to say it's just a thematic coincidence like most of Big Mom's crew having food/cooking based devil fruits.

Probably deliberate in Big Mom's case given that her children are literally Ministers of a certain foodstuff.

Like chocolate or cake or whatever.

Katakuri (Mochi Mochi Fruit) is flour.
Smoothie (Wring Wring Fruit) is juice and her name is loving smooth.
Cracker (Biscuit Biscuit Fruit) is biscuits which is literally his power.

Yeah I'd say Big Mom probably obtained the food-based fruits on purpose, she definitely has the power to pick and choose what she wants.
The fairy tale themed fruits from the same chapter might just be thematic, but I can see her deliberately choosing those too. She has a certain aesthetic going on.

I guess she has had like 50 years to stockpile fruits.

As a huge Eurobeat and One Piece fan, this broke my mind for a moment.

That's not how the Triangle Attack works...
Ulti's partially transformed form reminds me a lot of Nezuko from Demon Slayer/Kimetsu no Yaiba, design-wise.

Ooooh, that's an interesting point when taken in tandem with Zoro's page this chapter. It would be kinda funny if they both ended up qualifying to work for Kaido.

The crew's already bloated enough that they don't all get enough screen-time. Plus they just got a new dad! (technically an old dad but he's here officially now)

I'm curious why Yamato has the cuffs on his wrists. First thought is that he was locked up in case he tried to escape whatever marriage shenanigans Kaido and Big Mom arranged. But maybe he's being punished for something.

THUNDER BAGUA!!! was such a loving Rock Howard moment and I immediately realized it was Yamato. God what a cool scene, right after that really good skirmish with Luffy and Ulti. I can't wait to see what he looks like under that mask.

God, what if Yamato is actually just like 10 or 11 years old. Kaido is so gigantic, it would make sense for his kid to tower over Luffy even at a young age.

God damn it, where are my ant keys?! I'm gonna miss my flight!
Yamato’s intro is great, but I’m curious how old he is! Like, he seems adult sized, but Kaido’s such a big guy that I could see Yamato being only in his mid teens at that height.

Given how he’s dressed, I’m betting he probably really likes Wano. Whatcha wanna bet he’s a full-on weeaboo who’s dad just doesn’t understand?

Yeah, One Piece has had some real bangers for OPs. Quite a few of them have been in my general rotation forever.

I especially like Fight Together. It fits really, really well for what is essentially the finale for the first act of the series. It also resonates with me because it happened to be the current OP and I listened to it a lot when I was going through a big transitional time in my life:

There's also a really good fandub of it:

Oh, and since you mentioned it, looks like Namie Amuro is finally on Spotify, so I'm adding her poo poo to my playlist immediately. :getin:

Do you think X Drake was able to infiltrate their ranks so easily because Kaidou wanted to complete his dinosaur collection?

Absolutely

Wasn't Ace asked to join Kaido's crew too? I'm sure he just saw his name was Ace and thought it would fit with the theme of King, Queen, and Jack.
