quakster posted: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).

TheFallenEvincar posted:Wait, was Kaido actually foreshadowed? Trying to figure out if that's supposed to be him at the bottom? It doesn't really look like him at all. Looks more like Kuma kind of. I guess it could be Young Kaido? Kaido's design wasn't yet finalized at the time, so the Kaido you see now looks pretty different from the Kaido on that picture. (And yes, the fourth guy is supposed to be Kaido.)

TheRamblingSoul posted:I wonder if Kuma's involvement with Vegapunk led to Devil Fruit innovation (ie being able to control the essence of Devil Fruits by "pushing" them into desired regular fruits to later eat or objects like guns or swords to give them powers) to begin with. So, instead of letting Devil Fruits naturally flow from a dead user to nearby fruit, the DF essence is forcefully manipulated. The "being able to steal other users' Devil Fruits" is because he has an atypical body structure, not because of the Yami Yami no Mi. Of course, the whole point of Blackbeard (besides being the potential evil!Luffy) seems to be that he goes against the stream: He is the only pirate we know of who has no bounty; he's the only one of the Seven Warlords before the timeskip to not have an animal theme, and he's the only warlord who has no bounty (when he used to be a warlord); his first (and main/associated) Devil Fruit is a Logia, yet he can't transform into the Logia's element to avoid damage (and in fact, the Yami Yami actually has a drawback when it comes to avoiding damage); and he's (of course) the only guy who's be able to use two Devil Fruits so far and has explicitly said to be going for even more after the timeskip; and he's the only one we know of who has the initial D. who faces eath with cowardice.

Asuron posted:Actually in the english translated version by Viz I have, the line just says he has a strange body which is probably referring to the fact that his Darkness Fruit made his body stranger than other logia fruits Marco had seen. I see. I have only been able to read this series through... less than legal methods, so I didn't know about that. Either way, I think we can all agree that running contrary to established facts and expectations is a reoccuring theme with Blackbeard. (No bounty like the other priates, has a Devil Fruit with different rules than expected of its type, a man bearing the initial of D who shows cowardice in the face of death, etc.)

Begemot posted:That's funny, Luffy's operation had expanded too, even though he didn't want it to. Blackbeard probably sought out and coerced people to work under him, and apparently willingly split up his own crew so they could command different ships and go off on special missions. Luffy's group was split up by unforeseen circumstances and he never wanted a fleet in the first place. There's also kind of a family parallel where Luffy and Blackbeard draw in people to join them by their sheer charisma, but Luffy's crew are basically family towards each other whereas his relationship with his fleet, and their relationship towards one another, are as friends who will mutually help each other out in times should they need it. Blackbeard by contrast has a crew who are not entirely loyal towards him (with possible exception of his initial crew) and who would have disbanded if Blackbeard couldn't follow through on his promises, and afterwards aren't entirely content with serving under him. Given the parallels between Luffy and Blackbeard, it's rather telling that Luffy wants his core members to stay together no matter what, while Blackbeard has no qualms about splitting his own core members up if need be.

Cat Machine posted:What's the longest Oda's gone before paying off an early hint in the manga? The biggest one I can think of is the gap between the first hint at Sanji's true origins (chapter 68, December 1998) to the reveal he's a Vinsmoke (chapter 812, January 2016). 744 chapters, 18 years. Why does these year-long joke pay-offs remind me of 8-Bit Theater and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei end chapters?

Well, it's either Captain Kuro or Spandam that's the biggest one for me, but that's about the only villains in the OP world I know about who's just literal shitbags with nothing about them that's redeeming or cool... or at least makes them and/or their antics hilarious to watch.

Darth Walrus posted:He kept that stray dog he adopted. He learned something, even if he'd never admit it. Hody is definitely a less charming Arlong, but he's kind of the chump guy for the Straw Hats after they've finished training for the New World while being fairly threatening otherwise and while he is incompetent, he isn't overly so. Essentially he doesn't really stand out and so I didn't really remember him until you mentioned him.

Silver2195 posted:The problem is that Chopper has been overshadowed even in his own skill set by Law, Ceasar, and Reiju. Counterpoint: Law is only their partner-in-crime, Caesar is honestly a loving wild ard right now and will probably not be relevant once they part ways (and he has to be pushed around by the Straw Hats including Chopper anyways), and Reiju is part of the Germas. Chopper is an actual part of the crew.

Ryokugyu sounds interesting. I thought he'd be more like Akainu in world view since Fujitora is pretty much the new Kuzan in terms of having less extreme views on justice than most Marines, while Kizaru was in the middle between Kuzan and Akainu. Oh well, I can't wait for him to be used: The admirals are pretty cool.

Larryb posted:Honestly the anime ending after Aizen's defeat was probably for the best. Bleach peaked around the Soul Society arc and then started going downhill after that and never really stopped (it also could have easily been at least 100 chapters shorter). Reminds me of this video about the subject of how Bleach ended up falling from critical darling to washed-up has-been: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACq7tgjHdGA Though I personally have only really liked One Piece out of the "big Shounen mangas" everyone tried to push on me.

Now he's got like six flavors of haki and he's pissed off. It's like how if you took away Wolverine's claws and skeleton metal he's still a strong little angry dude who likes to fight. Or like Blackbeard vs. Whitebeard: Take away his DF powers and you're still left with the world's strongest man who could kill you in a few hits despite Whitebeard being well past his prime.

Begemot posted:Omega Force definitely seems to be a situation of "you get what you pay for". If you give them a low budget for an anime tie-in, you get the Berserk musou, but if you're Nintendo and shower them in riches, you get the Zelda and Fire Emblem musous. Oh God those Musous are the best in my opinion! Though it also helps that I love both of those series. But the One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 seems better than many of the other Musous, at least the ones released in this day and age, so hopefully 4 will be on that level of quality and not lower.

Silver2195 posted:That would make sense, although I’m a little confused about how it relates to the Headliner and Flying Six designations. Are the Flying Six a subset of the Numbers, above the Numbers, or below the Numbers? Well... If I'm gonna speculate their rank within Kaido's crew, it'll probably be something like: Kaido King Queen Jack Numbers (Scratchmen Apoo might go here, he's either this or a Flying Six member) Flying Six (X. Drake goes here) Other Headliners (Basil Hawkins goes here) Gifters Pleasures Waiters

Also he did attack one of Kaido's islands as our re-intro to him after the time skip. Drake was already on Kaido's team after the timeskip: He attacks Caribou who had just finished liberating the island from Scotch (the guy Drake attacked pre-timeskip because he knew Kaido would retaliate if he did). We're probably going to find out his deal this arc anyway.

Apparently, not every character from the previous OPPW games will be playable. One of them is Magellan who has now been cut from the playable roster due to the new jump aerial action mechanics. That... actually kind of throws a wrench on characters like Big Mom and Kaido being playable... Playable Navys and Warlords are safe tho from what I've heard.

One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 news: Characters are now divided into types: Power, Speed, Technique, and Sky. This seems to indicate what kind of moveset they have, according to this image: https://imgur.com/AyhQQAt Luffy and Zoro are Power-type characters. Ichiji is a Sky-type character. Marco is also confirmed to be a Sky-type character (and this confirms him as playable for this game as well). Aokiji is a Technique-type character. Carrot is a Speed-type character. Power-type characters moveset-wise can extend their ground-type charge attacks up to two times. Sky-type characters moveset-wise can extend their aerial-type charge attacks up to two times. Technique-type characters moveset-wise can extend their charge attacks one time. Speed-type characters get an 8-button combo string and more ground charge attacks up to C8 compared to the other characters' 5-button combo string and charge attacks up to C5, but can't extend their charge attacks at all. Also, the reverse charge attacks and combos have been done away with.
