"And the DICK?"

Hey so I've been watching the anime and I'm pretty much all caught up so I think I'm gonna start over with the manga. I just had a couple questions that I hope you guys can clear up. Apologies if these were answered during the marineford or dressrosa arcs, I heard those were real slogs in the show so I skipped them and I'm just gonna read them.

1. Why is Chopper so small? Every other zoan type seems to get bigger when they transform.
2. Why can Luffy use Red Hawk? Protaganist spirit power?
3. Why didn't Law expose Vergo asasp? It seems like it would have saved him a lot of trouble.
3. Smoker rules, why does he always get his rear end kicked?
4. It seems like Law went through somewhat of a personality shift during the timeskip, is that just my imagination?
5. Can Zoan users talk to animals of that fruits model?
6. Do all pirates go to Impel Down when they're arrested?
7. Do you think Robin killed that fat sky man?
8. Why is Jango allowed to be a marine if he was a pirate? I thought even being associated with Luffy was enough to disqualify Coby.

Also here are the best characters, scientifically proven

Franky
Garp
Buggy
Smoker
Jinbe
Hachi
Mr 2
Crocodile
Perona
Kizaru
Zeo
Pekoms
Bartolomeo
Kung fu dog
Master Cat Viper
Kaku
The green monkey brother

Oh boy you're going to get to see how much tighter of a story this is now that you're going to read the manga. (It's still a sprawling behemoth, but the anime is something else entirely.)

Yeah I'm excited!

I see a criminal lack of Brook on your list there. :colbert:

I love Brook but I left the Straw Hats off the list. Franky is one of my favorite characters across all media so I couldn't deny him.

Also way to put 3 on the list twice, me.

Baratie Arc was good because it established what the standard of what 'good' Shounen is.

Can you expand on this? OP is my first real venture into anime/manga since I watched DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho as a kid so I'm not real familiar with the various aspects of the genre.

Yup. We don't know a whole lot about the geography of the other side of the mountain at the end of the grand line, but there must be a reason no one has been able to check things out from the other direction.

Yeah that was what I was curious about. So the Straw Hats started on the side of the world that contains the "New World" half of the Grand Line right? Very mysterious!

Well buggys body is literally splitting right? I'd imagine it's not a matter of hitting the "solid form" of a logia type, as buggy isn't actually transforming into anything.

I'd be happy with the new wedding cake being so good that Big Mom is content to let them leave. Then she gets to have delicious food sent from Sanji periodically and considers the Strawhats her friends, pretty much everything she as wanted since being a kid.

Being king of the pirates seemed more like Strussel's doing then Big Mom's dream. She just wants sweets and friends.

This except just as everyone is making peace Luffy flies in from off panel and punches Big Mom because he missed the conversation.

A few people in One Piece have horns, it makes me wonder if Kaido, Hannyabal and Magellan are all the same race. Of course Kaido could also be a smaller giant, since Oars had horns. Or he could just be human.

Really hard to tell sometimes in One Piece.

I guess Ceasar has ram horns...I'm definitely overthinking this.

Ah, here we go.

Obviously Robin's an archaeologist and that's her main thing but I see her, despite no evidence that she's recording any of this, as the ship historian. Like, say, if someone's telling the story of the ship 30 years down the line it's her.

She will write it and Brook will perform it

Haha Tashigi's taunt in PW3 is her taking off her glasses. If you do, the screen gets fuzzy. Pretty good.

Also she's like the best character in the game?

Meme Emulator posted:

I love all these little nods in PW3, and I wish they went in on it even more. Like even if it fucks with the game and makes it difficult to play like Sanji's "Cannot attack women" restriction. In fact, especially if it does, since that helps differentiate the characters more.

Like Zoro shouldn't have had a minimap (or at least its forced to be zoomed in all the time)

Fujitora being immune to Hancock is pretty fun. And one of Brook's attacks is him doing a sword thrust while going 45 degrees! This is a fun game. I always liked the idea of the DW style games but they never really clicked for me. Turns out all they needed was a million cool characters I already like.

Quick PW3 update, quick charge+the special ability power up skill on Fujitora basically sets the game to baby mode, giving you a free, stronger than a kizuna rush attack that can one shot basically anything.

I'm still over here in a corner trying to figure out Blackbeard's angle for attacking the Revolutionaries. Like I can maybe see how that could tie in to an appeal for favor with the WG but they've already been burned by him. I guess maybe for Dragon's fruit? I mean I know we're gonna find out eventually but this really trips me up because I think the WG will be the final boss but I think there are still ways to jam Blackbeard into that arc.

Seemed like opportunity/revenge for Burgess. As much as BB talks about fate he probably couldn't pass up a chance to attack a seemingly quickly growing world power when their hidden base was dropped into his lap.

Yep, Luffy and Krillin share a voice actress as well.

When I was looking at the dub voice actors I wasn't surprised to find out that the guy who does Zoro did Piccolo, but I was shocked that he also does Vegeta and Kuwabara. I never would have believed it as a kid.
