I'll be glad when the chapter's officially out and I can read these spoilers.

Until then, at least Totally Not Mark has his blind read of Enies Lobby video up.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

I'm constantly surprised about how many things he predicts hundreds of chapters later, and in this specific video him mentioning Sanji's bounty picture. His catchphrase of "This is the best arc in One Piece" is going to wear off soon though

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
I've done the math and I can say, with near certainty, that that certainly was some poo poo going down.

Tried reading the chapter, turns out I can't remember a word of French. Definitely seemed to be some poo poo going down though.

I’m not fluent in French but I feel ripped off that Zoro didn’t get to fight a sick eight headed dragon-snake even if what we actually got was so brutally sudden that it owns anyway

I don’t like it because I feel there’s much more that could’ve been done with Orochi as a character, and he’ll never get his comeuppance(I was hoping he’d be taken down by the 8 scabbards, with each cutting off one of his heads). Unless it somehow turns out he faked his death or something.

It seems like a fitting end for a treacherous snake who was always just a pawn in other people's plans. It subverted the shounen setup in the blink of an eye and it was definitely unexpected for One Piece.

I feel like the thing people are going to argue about is Orochi was cut in half, but he's got a mythical zoan and a wimpy personality and snakes are infamous for killing people even after being decapitated for hours after the snake "dies" because the head is still acting on instinct. Orochi also has several heads, has a mythical zoan, and his type can be compared to a Hydra, where cutting off the "head" just causes two more heads to take its place

We've seen him sprout multiple heads, but that doesn't mean that having his main head cut off doesn't immediately kill him.

Either option is fine - he lives and has been firmly put in his place as Kaido starts making his big move, but is likely still going to face off against the samurai, or he's dead as poo poo and it's a cool subversion of the build up and expected payoff until now.

I also see it as payback for the bad taste Kaidou has had in his mouth from Orochi all of these years ever since the old hag spoiled his fight with Oden.

if orochi's alive, he previously was talking to cp0 and wanted vegapunk. what are the odds he gets revenge on kaidou by calling them in since the WG would lose their seastone supply?

Also worth mentioning, the last page has Kiku crying with her sword covered in blood. Traiter dude (constantly forgetting his name) is probably wounded and maybe 1 of the scabbards was killed?

Okay, I've had to edit your posts a couple of times in the past for spoilers so let me remind you all that you should still spoiler tag discussion of the new chapter until after the official English translation releases (usually on Sunday)

Yeah, my bad, I forgot the tags on that one.

I should maybe turn off this google chrome forced dark mode thing because it makes spoiler tags automatically highlighted and that makes it difficult to tell what's tagged and what isn't unless I want to look at the nearly imperceptible difference in shade.

If you're using Dark Reader, switch from "Dynamic" to "Filter" or "Filter+" to fix that, if you're willing to deal with some images having inverted colors.

It isn't? Didn't Orochimaru have a regenerating Yamato no Orochi form in Naruto?

In any case, given the parallels between Oden and Hercules, it would be weird if Oda wasn't conflating the Yamato no Orochi with the hydra of Greek mythology to some extent.

We don't even know what fruit Orochi has yet, we know hydras are a thing because of Magellan's "Poison Hydra" attack so it could be possible that Orochi's fruit was something like "Hebi-hebi no mi: Model Hydra"
