I somehow forgot about the rad bishie painting. It's so good. Carrot is so good. Everyone was so good this arc. Even Chopper, just to a smaller degree.

Snazzy Frocks posted:very disappointed there is no chappy this week The only reason I've been able to handle it is 'cause this is the best possible chapter for the Golden Week break to happen around. This is seriously one of my top 5 chapters of the entire series. I hope Luffy fully heals by the time he comes into contact with the village burner! Shirahoshi, don't get kidnapped! Then the WG will have two ancient weapons ready to go.

jinbe is great and the moment where he leaves big mom's crew was amazing, but brook's showdown with big mom is just as good and breaking the picture is one of the best jokes in one piece

Sorry for disappearing after throwing shade y'all but yeah Jinbe loving rules. Took a hit from a Yonkou and it didn't leave a scratch. Almost put her rear end into the ocean too. Masterful helmsman. Has hella fishman bros.

I'm still bummed Jinbe wasn't able to actually go with the Straw Hats. I can only hope he'll manage to meet up with them in Wano.

To be fair, I'd imagine it would take a lot of brain space and creativity lost in more compelling stories. . . trying to find continual uses and context for a doctor in a story where magic happens in basically every scene.

fat chopper was a strong fighter and good doctor; mascot chopper is neither. He also isn't helped by his devil fruit presenting weird power options. What made him cool and unique early in the story was rumble balls and the versatility of all the forms he had, but that utility became useless pretty early on and necessitated monster point. The next logical step after monster point is a monster point that he can control, but if that was actually as strong as what's shown in Enies Lobby, chopper would be too strong. I think it would be cool if chopper learned armament haki and developed a better kung-fu point, but I know in my heart that he's stuck being a mascot for the rest of the story.

I just said chopper's being outdone by story magic, and you guys gave two examples of story magic outdoing him. . .

Part of the problem I have is that Chopper isn't making progress toward his dream the way the other Straw Hats are. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but...
An then we have Chopper, whose goal is arguably the most ambitious of all. He wants to become capable of curing any disease. While Luffy is trying to equal Roger and Zoro is trying to surpass Mihawk, Chopper is trying to accomplish something that no one in the world, so far as we know, has ever done before, and indeed we have no particular in-universe reason to believe is even possible. But what progress has he made towards it? He had access to a library of rare medical texts over the timeskip, but afterwards he never shows any particular sign of being a better doctor. Not only was he overshadowed by Law in Punk Hazard, he couldn't even do anything when Luffy was poisoned by that fish; Reiju had to save Luffy's life for him. So unless One Piece turns out to be a recipe for a magic potion that cures anything, how is he going to accomplish his dream?

Voxx posted:but he can fully control it now, he did it on FI Yeah except it's so weak that Luffy can knock him out in that form with like one punch (granted this was with Franky at the wheel, not chopper), and he can still only do it for 3 minutes before being semi-paralyzed for a while. If it was actually as monstrously strong as was shown during Enies Lobby, where he effortlessly threw one of the biggest dudes in CP9 halfway across the island, chopper would feel way more threatening. As it stands you can't really trust him to win an important fight, so he's relegated to support of some kind.
