His favorite Devil Fruit was invisibility because he wanted to peep on women much like Noted Awful Villain Absalom

He openly asked how much a slave girl would cost in Sabaody

He's been at this for a while

like Sanji's whole thing was being a super gentleman but I guess oda decided being a sleaze was funnier?

now he's a scumbag version of brock from pokemon but more annoying and with less relevance

I'd be surprised if that's Lola - she was a pretty decent, moral sort despite her eccentricities. Maybe a relative?

The problem with the one piece anime is that the voice actors are amazing, talented people and everyone else that works on the show is awful

Pretty much all the fun bits the anime adds were ad-libbed by tanaka and co.

Law had a fight scene where he used his own cut off arm to spring into action and cut up one of Doflamingo's top men.
Dude is pretty drat legit.

I think the issue is less Law being legit and more that he's an entirely straight-faced Standard Shonen Cool Guy character who has eaten up a lot of panel time the last two arcs and it feels a bit like its directly pandering to the audience

I imagine Chopper's awakening would be an amalgamation of all his forms, which would be pretty brutal.

I wonder if he'll be given a power up in Zou, considering the people he's around. Maybe they can teach him something, despite not being a mink.

It's not gonna be Dogtooth's Observation Haki / prediction abilities, or Big Mom's and her children's power, or Caesar Clown's and Bege's inevitable backstabbing, that fucks it up for the Straw Hats, isn't it? It's gonna be Sanji's lechery.

I will be super disappointed if this is actually the case and it'll undo a lot of the work Oda's been putting into Sanji this arc

That's more effort than anything Toei have made these past few years; as of this week they have discovered a new trick to not having to make new anime openings, which is to change some of the clips in the current opening and call it a day.

The second opening for Dressrosa lasted for well over a hundred episodes; can Toei do it again? Did they in fact put Kaidou in the opening because they intend to stretch it out until Wano? The smart money is on 'yes' 'stop watching the loving anime'.

I'm sure all zero people watching the anime in this thread will take this to heart

also that's not a new trick? shows have been doing that for years?

anyway I honestly pulled the chute about 3/4ths (I guess?) through dressarosa because I was bored and didn't care about anything or anyone and realized I was only reading the manga because it was one piece

it was a bad arc

It's reverse mountain with more foreshadowing (due to what was about to happen), so people attributed a shitload more meaning to the location than was ever intended for it and got upset when it turned out to just be the gateway to bigger poo poo that it was always meant to be.

Arc had a couple of issues but was largely fun.

there's also the fact that oda talked about the arc outside of the manga and specifically heralded it as the halfway point years in advance

and then it just ends up being this really basic fantasy racism story with a super nothing villain who goes down like a chump

it honestly wouldn't have stuck out to me as much without oda talking it up

I wouldn't say either was disappointing, just more flawed than other arcs.

How can you be disappointed by Senior Pink v Franky? Or Fishman Island's most interesting motivation of all the villains in One Piece?

I can still be overall disappointed in an arc that otherwise has cool things (though I'll strongly disagree as to the Fishman Island villains motivation being interesting)

someone's probably beaten me to this by now but beige actually being a good guy makes so much sense considering that whole cake arc - much like the fast and the furious franchise - is about family

both our primary antagonists, judge and mama, are parents but are completely monstrous and awful parents in their own way. judge sees his kids as extensions of himself, as people he can mold - literally - into carrying his warped world view forward. mama is arguably even worse, having so many kids and husbands but treating them all as disposable tools, only to be shown twisted affection when they've sufficiently pleased her insane whims.

beige, on the other hand, is ultimately on the straw hats sides and redeemable because he's a genuine family man, both with his mobster crew and his really ugly family. so while he may be a lot eviler than straw hat allies tend to run, he's ultimately on the side of the heroes because his family's an example of a "good" one, just like the straw hats themselves are.

I expected better from you, Manga Stream. That's some Manga Panda shenanigans. :(

Also the page with Sanji standing on that table might be my favorite thing in the whole comic.

this happened to me while reading Dr. Stone, seems like clicking the page will sometimes randomly redirect you to a fake site
