Bad Seafood posted:I stalled out reading One Piece back in 2010, I think. Got about as far as the Foxy fight. Anyway, since it's been awhile, I'm gonna be rereading the series (rather than just picking up where I left off), and hope it's alright to share my second impressions in here (even though I'm way behind). That being said, I highly suggest posting your reactions without reading the thread proper until you've caught up, as people routinely post stuff that would be massive spoilers to you untagged, and trust me, some of them are better off as a surprise rather than knowing they're coming.

Oh, don't worry, doflamingo gets his time in the spotlight. He just doesn't know when to get off the stage, is all.

Foxy was a good villain and his crew was a bad crew I loving love incompetent boobs with overwhelming superpowers that are too stupid to use them properly, like Ice Man from X-Men who isn't a dude who makes ice, that's just because he's too dumb to realize he has the power of thermal energy manipulation.

Prison Warden posted:I don't have my manga copy to hand, but basically Ussop is just talking about Afros in reference to some old famous Japanese boxer. There's no racial element at all and that "power of the blacks" thing is just some loving bizarre-rear end fan translation thing. Yeah. It's literally in reference to this dude and has absolutely nothing to do with black people. The scanlator was racist, not Oda. I Love Annie May posted:I still can't believe they made you a mod.

ODA DOES IT AGAIN

The most important part: Usopp's face is on there now. There's no way his village can deny it's him, which is kinda what I was expecting once the story was over and he went home, that the wanted poster having Sogeking on it would lead to nobody believing he made anything of himself out there. But that's out the window for sure now!

A second read-around lets you focus on more subtle things, especially stuff in the background, because One Piece has a ton of them. I've always referred to Oda as Chekhov's Arsenal, he's just got an entire closet full of his guns.

TheFallenEvincar posted:Oda made a mad bomber of government buildings named Abdullah I thought that subtitle was a mistranslation? But yeah, he's based on Abdullah the Butcher, though, a professional wrestler. Many characters in that arc are based on pro wrestlers throughout the history of the sport, the giant, Hajrudin, is straight-up Macho Man Randy Savage and as Begemot said, so's Jeet.

Kaido has the nyan-nyan fruit, which makes him incredibly lucky(that fortune cat thing) and immune to height damage passively, but makes him sprout adorable kitty ears and whiskers when he activates it

This is absolutely the sort of poo poo I love about one piece. The impossible, fantastical poo poo like skypiea, island-sized sea monsters, or this one atop the back of a millenia-old eyeless titanic pachyderm

I actually kinda wish he'd stuck with the original artstyle, or improved his skill while keeping that style. At the very least, with the women characters. I prefer chapter one Shanks to the current Shanks, look-wise, for example. And don't get me started on Nami.

Capone has an amazing design and power, why do you hate him Like he hasn't exactly been used much but neither have most of the non-Law supernovas(unfortunately! I wanna see more Scratchman)

# ¿ Nov 19, 2015 14:19 |

I've never really thought of him as a non-one piece character. His power is he's a living barracks, his body is staffed by his entire crew who can exit at any time and return to full size. So he can launch a platoon of soldiers out of his legs or cavalry out of his chest, like what happened when he was first introduced. It's a unique and neat power.

Kuroyama posted:Capone and Uroge seem like the most superfluous of the Supernovas. Almost every single supernova outside of law has been completely superfluous so far. Even kidd has been a nonentity for the majority of his existence.

TheKingofSprings posted:That's because most of them were superfluous; they were pretty much made up on the spot for Sabaody. I know that. But that doesn't mean Oda couldn't have or can't do anything with them. Hopefully they'll play a bigger role eventually, and Capone becoming a big mom lackey is the beginnings of it seeing as how he came into direct conflict with the strawhats.
|
# ¿ Nov 19, 2015 19:22 |
|
Yeah but they've been almost entirely in the background even then. Capone showing up is the first case of one getting involved directly with the strawhats since Sabaody outside of law, and so it may become a more common occurrence for them to come to blows with the strawhats hopefully. I'm most interested in apoo and Bonney showing up again though
