Did I miss something somewhere or is Robo-Kuma actually working with Dragon a known thing? Because that surprised the hell out of me.

No Wave posted:This is exactly what I thought was being communicated when green bull showed up and momo frantically tried to solo him. It's a dumb thought, but given how kind of vague some fruit powers can work; what if Boa's fruit doesn't strictly have to work on lust, love, or romantic feelings but any kind of "attraction"? If that were the case, being able to petrify anyone drawn in by his gravity powers would be obscenely useful for Black Beard and would make sense for him to want. But beyond that I can't think of any reason why he'd want it, unless as other people have speculated, he's doing it solely to unpetrify someone in which case just getting her to do the work for him would probably be easier. hosed up he's taking the creator's name off of his own creation.

If we're still giving our post-time skip hot takes, mine's that these past arcs have been more focused on issues you can't fix just by punching the bad guy at the head of the bad crew really hard, but instead more systematic issues brought on by a broken and corrupt government and all that jazz. But sometimes it just doesn't mesh well with a genre almost solely dedicated to punching people really hard to solve all of your problems.

PringleCreamEgg posted:Everyone else here has detailed takes on the post time skip arcs involving plot and pacing and I don’t think I saw anyone else complain that the art is too busy and hard to parse, so maybe I need to prioritize going to the optometrist. It’s been like a decade since my last check so maybe I need bifocal lenses. I just assumed either everyone felt that way and said nothing, or I was dumb and said nothing out of embarrassment. Because some of the more recent fights have been hard to track.

anime was right posted:vegapunk: no sense of right or wrong being true is very funny You mention that, and like a few pages before they show seraphim kuma Bonny's literally talking about how og kuma's mind is gone and how that upsets her. So going from that conversation to a shot of the mysterious problem child kuma clone kinda makes sense. Also, you know, like half these island storylines lately have had storylines about kids reconnecting with their families one way or another.

davidHalestorm posted:Not sure I like the concept of strong Haki just straight up negating Devil Fruit's abilities. That's a such standard battle shounen trope, if your number is big enough, you can't be hurt unless by someone with a bigger number. But I do trust Oda in his ability to make the upcoming battles to be as wacky as ever. Like it doesn't matter how strong your Haki if Gear 5 Luffy can drop an anvil on you out of nowhere I genuinely don't get why people are taking this one as hard as they are this isn't really different from like, earlier in the story, Zoro deciding he needed to get better at sword fighting to cut iron or whatever, then kicking Mr. 1's rear end. It's just more visualized through haki, because haki's always been a representation of a character's willpower, which has always been a facet of the story. The entire reason Roger was able to become pirate king was because he was a strong, rad, dude. Not because he had like, sick nasty haki. He had the haki because he was a strong, rad, dude. Haki is and always has been just a dynamic way of characters doing the usual shonen "My willpower is so strong you can't affect/kill me" thing and that being shaken being the huge turning point in a battle.

YggdrasilTM posted:??? But all of those things are literally just common manifestations of strong will across the entire history of anime and manga. You've always had characters without any super natural power just being like "I detect a strong killing presence from over there" or being just so darn strong and powerful in their resolve that normal humans wilt away in shame. Haki is genuinely just putting a name to a bundle of classic tropes that show up in almost any shonen series

Cornwind Evil posted:I remember years and years ago reading raw fan translations of Thriller Bark and the 'heavily injured old man' who Luffy mistakes for a zombie was translated as "an old man with a big wound." Maybe Kaido shows up wearing a tengu mask working with O-lin to run a bath house or something outside of the capital. Both retire in peace having been so thoroughly owned there's no going back to being warlords.

Eiba posted:I feel like people overcompensate in dismissing Enel's potential. If Crocodile can come back and hang out with the Emperors, Enel can come back and do the same. It's an interesting revelation that he would not effortlessly Lord it over everyone on the Blue Seas like he did in the sky, but that doesn't mean he's stuck at sub-Sanji levels. All he needs is a dream and possibly an army of moon robots to back him up. I imagine a potential return of Enel being a sort of dragon ball z freeza situation; "this guy always had the potential to be disgustingly powerful, but was always just a big fish in a small pond. But he's strong now." It might make for a fun movie, I guess.

TaurusOxford posted:If it's anything like Yu-Gi-Oh, then it's a way to have more "Kozuki Oden" cards in your deck for more consistent support use or without running into a duplicate clause that I assume this game has. This is literally the basis for the skull servant deck in Yugioh. There's a monster called King of the Skull Servants and its attack power is the number of monsters named "Skull Servant" in your graveyard x1000. There's also a ton of skeletons who have the effect of "this monster's name is "Skull Servant" when in your graveyard". so you just send like 8 of those to the graveyard and now have one of the strongest monsters in the game. But since its a 1-star monster with a base attack is like 100, it gets past a lot of monster effects that typically destroy powerful monsters because a lot of those target base attack power above certain levels or high level monsters.

Scrap Dragon posted:I imagine that the Bird Cage did suck to read week-to-week, but as someone that read it archivally it was excellent This has basically been my take on almost every post-timeskip arc. However good the highs are, or rough the lows can be; they're all just better when you can read them via archive and appreciate a pace that isn't one chapter a week or so. When one piece is finally finished in fifty years I look forward to spending a million dollars on whatever fancy rear end collected edition they manage to work up and reading it until I die.
