Since this is by far the worst OP thread I've read so far, I gotta ask: What's the general thread consensus on D standing for Devil or some in-universe equivalent? Seems p. likely, IMO.

I'd say it's possible. Especially now that it's been revealed that the Ds are apparently mortal enemies of the World Nobles (aka the Celestial Dragons).
Not just the nobles but anyone playing god, basically.

That's "narrative causality" (and also will power (and actual in-universe magic too, why not.))

at chapter 795 now; anyone who's saying sanji has stopped running behind the scenes isn't looking at the big picture

I agree but I'm saying it'd be better if like... Akainu is about to kill Sabo but Garp is like "not this time, rear end in a top hat" and clobbers him.
Maybe Dragon will do that.

One hell of a family, imo.

Jobbing, probably. TV Tropes is an unfortunate situation.

The soundtrack is good, but pacing and animation suffer from the worst documented case of shonenitis.

Cracked did an article that used a lot of examples from One Piece

I laughed at the quick jab at Bleach
Cracked is generally bad and this is the worst article I've seen on that site. Not pro-click, not pro-click at all.

DFs are basically Stands, which in turn are like the mutant powers from X-Men. They're there to make the fights more varied. The only real mystery is whether the fruits are tied to any of the other story elements. (Void Century, five old dudes, etc.)
