I think a lot of people misread that scene. On first glance it looks like he destroyed that room because of Arlong forcing Nami to work in there, but really he did it because he hates maps.

Nothing is more boring for an adventure than an accurate map.

Having the character who's main motivation has been leaving the island, with one of his plot threads being shackles that keep him on the island (that luffy removes), suddenly be like "naah actually I'll stay on the island" is really weird to me and doesn't seem like it was originally intended.

yamato isn't staying on onigashima though

That's a clip from a longer video of the guy which is insufferable. Two minutes of fake laughing, then a bunch of "ya'll didn't listen when I said One Piece sucks and is going to continue to suck", leading up to that. Gotta get those hate clicks I guess.

People predict Carrot will stowaway on the straw-hats ship, but it will actually be caribou, and we get the panel of him in the barrel with Franky staring at him recreated, but maybe with Jinbe instead.

Alternately, he tries to sneak on Kid's ship instead and we get the same panel but with Killer instead

Runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me

I can definitely appreciate this chapter more now with a proper translation and some time to mull over the Yamato stuff. I'm still not really jazzed about how that bait-and-switch went down but there's lots of moments I do like here - Luffy giving Momo the flag, all the shots showcasing Momo's growth since he first met the Straw Hats, Kid goading everyone into doing the jump off the waterfall. "(That) Korozumi was born to burn" was pretty badass in actual context.

I don't really want to get into fanfic territory here but Marco's still on Wano I guess? That might be a way to get Yamato off of Wano whenever he's done exploring the country and/or beating Momo into shape since Oden did get his actual start with the Whitebeard pirates.

In any case fuckin hell, Wano is over. I've gone through graduating college, getting a new job, 2 presidents and a global pandemic since this arc started. Lets hope the next 4-5 years aren't as nuts as these ones were!

That part a few chapters ago, where Luffy and a few others were sitting on a hill overlooking the fight between Momo and Green Bull, was badass.

Only difference was the official made it much more obvious that the line from hiyori was about orichi kurozumi, not the kurozumi clan as a whole.

Still a wet fart of a final chapter though.

”THE Kurozumi WERE born to burn”, plural, implying a nazi genocide against an entire group of people, vs ”(This) Kurozumi WAS born to burn”, singular, describing a sentence for an individual (who drat well deserves it).

EDIT: And also a lot of nuances differ in the pages just before, making it much more clear that it’s directed specifically at Kurozumi Orochi, and that it’s a Kurozumi=Charcoal pun.

It's subtle but "The Kurozumi" vs. "Kurozumi" is a better change. Both can be read as "gently caress this family in particular", but the later and actual translation does come across more as talking about this one guy vs. the clan.

orochi's plot kind of sucks even with that change honestly, not really in a moral panic sense just theres no twist to it but also he doesnt do anything cool-evil. hes just an evil guy from an evil family. his backstory is sympathetic but the series never really does anything with it. like compare him to big mom, who gets a somewhat sympathetic backstory and has that tie into her actual motivations and goals that are also somewhat sympathetic. even loving moriah has more going on than orochi. or kaido honestly, but at least kaido is a cool dragon. orochi's sympathetic backstory is used as reasoning for him being so cruel, but its functionally indistinguishable from if he was just cruel because he was an evil guy. nobody is ever really held accountable or taken to task for wano kind of creating their own problem with him, and then they get a play assuring them he was bad, dont worry about it. so none of it actually impacts the plot.

i get why they couldnt give him cool fights or anything since hes also a big dragon man so itd be redundant with kaido but in that case why not make him sympathetic. you could have all the smile fruit torture stuff be done by queen or whoever and have him going along with it out of fear of retaliation and then have him sacrifice himself to help the group during the raid or something. i dont know what he adds to the story other than oda reminding the audience how much he loves noble monarchies. which, whatever, anyone who thinks one piece's politics are somehow radical and progressive is a moron, but he could at least remind the audience of that in a more interesting way.

I like this about him actually. It works because almost all OP villains are sympathetic, so it’s a big difference to finally meet someone, one single villain, who is nothing more than a murderous piece of poo poo with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

I would’t calm his family evil - iirc there was a war between multiple families so they were acting based on their circumstance - but Orochi had millions of outs to choose a different path and just didn’t.

Orochi should have died when Kaido decapitated him 5 years ago or whatever. Good fate for a bad villain, cool moment for a pretty dece villain.

Edit: woulda elevated the theme of isolationism = bad too. That even on the villain side, their ignorance of the goings on outside of wano has landed them in DEEP poo poo.
