That line about needing stronger lightning sure is some foreshadowing alright.

yeah so she's either going to get zeus back somehow, or there's another source of electricity here... maybe she'll absorb one of kaido's attacks into a cloud? i mean, enel? sure, why not.

Dango doesn't seem to be enslaving people, just befriending them and comparing this to slavery is loving wild.anime was right posted:yeah so she's either going to get zeus back somehow, or there's another source of electricity here... Mastery over the Weather has been Nami's motif for a while now, being able to readily summon electricity & snow in addition to being one of the best navigators and meteorologists on the planet would make her one of the most valuable people in One Piece.

Nah man, doing a complete 180 on your personality and fighting your former comrades to the death? That's brainwashing and enslavement territory. They do everything she asks them to

Dango simply makes you realize the error of your ways and how you’d much rather follow the instructions of your child empress

If she gave them regular non-devil fruit Dango would they be following her against their friends and mates? If the answer is no, then that's brainwashing territory. Purple man supervillain poo poo

Drawing the line at a child feeding villains snacks and giving them a change of heart is certainty one of the strangest stances I've seen in the One Piece thread in the last decade.

Like there's no indication that there's some terrible secret or consequence to the dango just that Oda thinks it's a funny riff on Momotaro.

Her ability only affects animals and a bulk of Kaido's army are SMILES who are half-animal. It's a broken ability that only works against Kaido's army and most of them would have some kind of change of heart anyway after Luffy & friends beat Kaido.

I bet it has some rules like it can’t make you hurt your friends, it just makes you think Tama is your friend as well, so of course you want everyone to be friends with Tama as well. Also yeah, it’s a fruit that works against only animals, it works on Smile Users because they’re science experiment gone wrong half animal monsters.

Them turning into people who want the opposite of that is okay in my book. If she was using it on anyone else, yeah, you might have a point

I completely forgot that limitation of her power, so nvm. I hope she throws one at Kaido and it works for like one move as every character has a reaction to Kaido suddenly attacking Mom.

She used it on wild animals too. O-tama would absolutely be convicted of war crimes in the One Piece world's version of the Geneva Conventions. Luckily for the readers, we don't have to worry about the protagonist's morality because they are pirate criminals and will fight anybody for what they want.

Also to be clear, we know her power works on regular animals and smile fruit users, but not on regular humans. We do not know if it works on regular zoans or not.

Everyone's just arguing about the power of the dango because we all want to be Tama's friend but we didn't even get any of that delicious dango. Dango is just the embodiment of D.A.R.E.'s drug propaganda. The fact that Speed is the main force in hooking everyone is just further proof.

I don't care if Tama's ability is immoral, because the bad guys are total dicks who flushed an entire nation down the toilet. Plus, the alternative is them staying evil and getting killed by a samurai army.

Two other things are that Tama has to give the order for them to listen, Speed refused to listen to Luffy when he was on her back. And we've only seen relative fodder be affected by this, would it work on Ulti or Jack? Would someone with Conqueror's be able to snap them out of it, like Kaido? This definitely turns the tide of the numbers, but either they'd be cannon fodder or get knocked out by clashing Haki, so having them be happy and free under Tama's iron-fisted rule is probably for the best. The fact that Ussop didn't do the big brained play of firing it into Page One or Ulti's mouth, or even Sasaki, means it likely doesn't work on actual devil fruits.

Speed was goofy and kinda wholesome for a Kaido militant before she ever ate the Damo anyway, I think her ability should just be taken at face-value as this girl feeding stray animals and befriending them. SMILE users are only part animal, theoretically they should have half resistance to the ability already, but it isn't like Kaido was treating the hundred something SMILE users in his army like kings anyway, Jack got poo poo from the very beginning

Yeah that's my guess as well. The thing about the Gifters is that they all seem to be permanently transformed into actual animals to some degree, not "otherwise perfectly normal human/reindeer/sword who can turn into an(other) animal at will". Maybe if she used it on someone like chopper that would work, but I don't think any of the top-tier officers really meet that criteria. Maaaaaaybe Kaido or King since I don't think they've actually explained what their deals are yet, but that seems like a bit of a stretch. Edit: VVV gently caress cherry pies.

Toma's dango fruit just concentrates her friendship down into a treat. Way better than the usual Shonen delivery method of beating dudes into comas with friendship fists to convert them.

Virtually all of the gifters were forced into joining Kaido's crew by force, assimilated from pirate crews Kaido crushed and intimidated their members into joining. They have no legitimate loyalty to the Beast Pirates, and the dango's only work because of that (some fanfiction i just made up but choose to believe)
