what about wano NamiGrin

exotic merlin
#

Oda also most definitely had not considered or cared about absolute accuracy. It’s, at the end of the day, a fantasy, often stereotyped and mishmashed. There’s a certain degree of mandatory nationality casting to not come off as erasing representation, but you can never and won’t ever please everyone

#

And this contradicts canon

#

Makes no sense

Something poetic lol

I can't seem to remember which SBS it was though

I love Oda bullshitting through SBS questions

Unironically hilarious

also, iirc, in whiskey peak you see people speaking german so there is some diversity in language

And Oda did have final say on the casting

for me, he made a great casting and nothing is wrong

Found it, asked chatgpt which volume and it actually gave me the right answer

oda dropping some peak in between a million lustbrained responses

It’s always hilarious when people are upset people are asking Oda silly questions as if he doesn’t deliberately pick them

Hey guys

I'm waiting for Spandam's Backstory to understand his motivation.

Without spoiling, does his backstory gets revealed?

My blood's semi boiling when I see him act, right now he's just the stereotypical scum character: no morals, treats everyone as shit, licks the boots of his superiors, and enjoys inflicting pain. I need some juice man, soon too

On the other hand, I am starting to like Lucci, he works for the evil government, ruthless in carrying out missions, but he has something he truly believes in, and his own morals, ideals, and upholds his principles even if he pisses off his boss.

He earned the trust of his teammates, and they all follow him. He is the true leader in CP9.

This is the kind of villain I am looking for. They have a valid reason for doing what they do, and they don't compromise unless there's a character development moment, and is a mirror to the Main Protagonist.

This is getting intriguing. Can't wait to see his backstory, if Oda includes it

spicy is bottom tier of the flavor portfolio

doflamingo doesnt need organs

Do flamingo has the billionaire mindset

signal plinth

he just stitched his organs up basically

#

i can't wait for the doflamingo comeback

that was such a small punishment for doffy

#

he could get out of that cell so fast

well presumably he has sea prism cuffs

if luffy can go through water so well that his fist can catch fire then anything is possible

#

doflamingo is my favorite character

signal plinth

Doflamingo Italian dub goes so hard

there is definitely going to be a second impel down breakout at some point

i'm guessing he probably didn't want out while kaido was still around though

#

bon clay is gonna beat akainu's ass

signal plinth

#

also he still has leverage over the world government so really he is being lenient if we're being honest

thats also some bullshit cause his family left the dragons

neon tusk

well even still he was able to get cp0 to trick the entire world

even going around akainu to do it

well he was a warlord

theres no human being who could ever feel bad for a celestial dragon i refuse to believe it

i'm thinking cross guild make sense to do the prison break, buggy and crocodile already escaped from there

signal plinth

speaking of has buggy been just like
working out this whole time

neon tusk

i also think the crocodile and doflamingo negotiations at marineford are probably foreshadowing since marineford had a lot of cross guild foreshadowing

buggy doesn't need to work out he is already perfect

Did the anime explain how Luffy awakened his Second Gear?

Apparently he learned from observing CP9 agents, and learned Shave by kicking ten steps quickly.

Where's the justification of suddenly acquiring this new skill? Or it will be explained much further down the series? I'm at the start of episode 274, Luffy just beaten Blueno and about to enter the Courthouse to save Robin

and it was established third gear was a thing he invented already, so he mustve already had the idea of altering his body to help in battle

i miss how luffy fought before timeskip

his fight with lucci made him get hella creative

did it

red echo
#

did you egt out of romance dawn?

sudden shoal
#

he was always doing that

#

he literally does that in arlong park

red echo
#

yeah but its more interesting here considering hes still fighting someone a bajillion times stronger than arlong

#

and it still worked

sudden shoal
#

you have no scope of that when you're at arlong park

red echo
#

one piece has over 1000 episodes i think anyone could take a guess of the scope

sudden shoal
#

so why would you retroactively be like "yeah this later part of the story is cooler than this beginning part"

red echo
#

thats not what im talking about

sudden shoal
#

you just said it idk

#

i think you gotta get your story straight

red echo
#

i wasnt even talking about him using it in arlong park at all

sudden shoal
#

luffy legit got thrown between two buildings and contemplated on a train and was like

#

"ok i can make steam if i excite myself really hard"

#

When a character gets defeated in one piece, why does it always have to be the same T pose death position.

luffy punches them so hard their animations corrupt

#

i half made that up. but theres a lot of japanese media that depicts crucifixion not just because christianity heavily inspires works over there but ultraman also plays a big part. depending on the character involved it might be symbolic

Like in Naruto's case, when he was beaten by Neji, he was desperate, and demanded the Nine Tails to lend him Chakra that's how he manifested orange chakra, and get a sudden surge in power.

Luffy was being on par with Blueno, and suddenly doubled in strength and walked all over Blueno. If he has power like that without justification, why didn't he use it against Enel or something?

sudden shoal
#

luffy said after he lost to aokiji he started thinking about how to get stronger and gear 2 was the culmination of that

surreal dune
# sudden shoal he's just riffing

So uhhhhh, Luffy is a god, just he chose to level down a lot to deal with enemies of much lower level, but is in face invulnerable?

(I am spoiled that he turns into Sun god Nika eventually)

sudden shoal
red echo
#

its funny imagining he randomly did gear 3 off camera before water 7 and scaring the shit out of his crewmates

sudden shoal
surreal dune
# sudden shoal luffy said after he lost to aokiji he started thinking about how to get stronger...

Ohhhhhh, so that's where it started. Okay, I missed that part. The series didn't explain anything about his Gears prior to this, and he was contemplating, doesn't mean he actually managed it.

On the other hand, Zoro has a full episode to explain about his past and improvements with Mihawk etc.

Luffy just like "Hmm, I'm losing, I should get stronger".

Next scene: "Hmm, Cow Guy stonks. Let me bust out Gear 2 which I never used before by imitating Steam Trains"

sudden shoal
#

he normally was even with blueno but since he knows he can go further he did that luffy was just trying to see if he had gotten strong enough literally from the train ride over there to beat blueno

surreal dune
sudden shoal
#

you gotta remember he's straight up just having fun

red echo
#

water 7/enies lobby, and especially the encounter with kuzan was a huge wake up call that people out there are still wayyyyy stronger than them

sudden shoal
#

he doesnt even REALLY know why he's fighting

#

he knows he needs to get robin back but he doesnt know any of the history there so he isnt fueled by rage in that way they just took his friend from his perspective and he knows he's gonna get her back so he's having fun on the way there

#

and again gear 2 isnt some crazy technique

red echo
#

thats why i adore luffy more than other anime MCs

sudden shoal
#

he's just elevating his heartrate and making his blood pump faster but because he's rubber it can do a lot more for him than it would a normal person

red echo
#

it isnt some kind of mystical powerup that saves him and magically brings him up to other people's levels

surreal dune
red echo
#

hes abusing his body in a smart way

#

to kind of mimick other people's powers

sudden shoal
#

what he lacks is experience and he's a fool so he's tricked easily

red echo
#

and it also clearly displays its setback, his blood pumping that fast takes an insane amount of stamina

surreal dune
# red echo hes abusing his body in a smart way

This is what I'm looking for lol. Usually characters explain or monologue their powers before using them.

I was hoping Luffy will stretch a bit, and think to himself "if I stretch like this, steam like this, imagine this in my head, Aha! Gear 2" or something

surreal dune
sudden shoal
#

have you even once seen luffys inner monologue?

red echo
#

ahahahahaha

sudden shoal
red echo
#

dude that katakuri fight was so damn good

surreal dune
sudden shoal
#

then you uh

surreal dune
sudden shoal
#

might not know what character development is

red echo
#

you just got to the end of the blueno fight right?

sudden shoal
#

thats really my only answer

surreal dune
# sudden shoal then you uh

I need you to tell me about Luffy. Other characters changed, Nami, Usopp, Robin, even Zoro felt a bit different. Luffy felt exactly the same.

sudden shoal
#

actually the way you said that reads as if you think that character development means "an entire personality change"

surreal dune
sudden shoal
#

it wasnt really meant as a personal attack but if you're at enies lobby and you think the characters havent developed whats your explanation for how you think that

surreal dune
sudden shoal
#

like what were you thinking when watching the parts where luffy learns a genuine lesson and then reflects that in his behavior like when he bows peacefully on drum island after he learned from vivi

surreal dune
sudden shoal
#

bit unfair to say characters feel undeveloped when you also say you cant remember parts of the story that focus on what you're saying is lacking

red echo
#

its funny you say that

#

i think enies lobby perfectly encapsulates everything luffy has learned

#

then again that was 600 episodes ago

surreal dune
surreal dune
#

🤣

red echo
#

every fucking mc from now on needs a katakuri fight

#

that was amazing

whole tiger
#

The only valid arguments for that are the east blue arc villains, luffy wasnt actually trying his hardest there

whole tiger
red echo
#

the latter half is incredible

whole tiger
#

ye animation wise, still terrible pacing though

#

Youre watching 20 minutes episodes where you can read 4-5x as much in that span of time if you used one pace or read the manga

red echo
#

listen ive made it this far and i still think its an amzing show

whole tiger
red echo
#

if i ever decide to go through the series again its 100% through the manga

#

speaking of im still waiting on that boxset with wano

whole tiger
red echo
#

those like treasure chest boxsets

#

theyre super cool

#

i miss water 7's art style

knotty river
#

wano is painful to get through

#

if ur in wano i genuinely feel so fucking bad for you

hushed seal
#

Honestly wano isn't that bad

Wano was good

Thank God and then Oda for Robin 💜

Robin

magic elm
#

i have to say it once again, wci has way too mny characters

#

Ohhh so thats the infamous ||Katakuri||

knotty river
#

had to spoil mb twin

surreal dune
#

I changed.

As a kid, it will be the flashy fight scenes that grabs my attention.

Now, it's emotional weight and political intrigue that holds my attention.

Kid Robin calling out to a despaired mother is the heaviest part thus far for me

One Piece adapts like less than a chapter per episode

#

while the average battle shonen anime adapts 3-4

storm plover
#

only episodes getting adapted to only 1 chapter are the wordy chapters with alot of info

magic elm
#

3-4 chapters an ep is too crazy i dont believe that

storm plover
#

other than that its ridiculous tho 😭

whole tiger
magic elm
#

oh you mean battles

#

yeah battles make sense

whole tiger
magic elm
#

idc

whole tiger
#

i went really specific but aot

#

Aot average chapter is around 40 pages

#

An average episode adapts 1.5-2 chapters

#

An average one piece episode adapts around 10 pages

#

So yes its that bad

#

@magic elm If you use One Pace it cuts out over 200 hours of filler

magic elm
#

yeah but i wont

storm plover
magic elm
#

Unless youre talking about wano

whole tiger
#

Yes it does LMAO

magic elm
#

that i cant confirm

whole tiger
#

At WCI it does

polar cobalt
whole tiger
#

and wano and dressrosa

magic elm
#

Nah from what ive noticed it only leaves like 1-2 pages for the next ep

polar cobalt
#

oh a different series

magic elm
#

im gonna track it more carefulnow and see if youre right

whole tiger
storm plover
#

the op ep before the latest one was soooo badly paced 😭

whole tiger
#

But for most of post timeskip it was less than a chapter jesus christ 😭

storm plover
#

hit like a truck compared to the decent pace weve been getting 💔

whole tiger
storm plover
#

||only 'good' thing from it was little bonney crying with kuma but that was like 5 seconds long|| egghead

whole tiger
#

One pace criticism i find genuinely absurd because most people point out the maybe 1-2 minutes of good filler content that shouldve been kept and therefore use that as an excuse to convince folks to watch 200 extra hours of bullshit 💔

dapper wing
#

In my opinion the pacing was mid

whole tiger
#

Yea they make mistakes, however generally, it is a very consistent and high quality project which is constantly being taken care of

storm plover
whole tiger
#

even though it is the more accurate and faithful adaption to odas work

dapper wing
#

I can't hate the pacing but I can't like it since it was sometimes bad

whole tiger
#

genuinely think most of it comes from jealousy tho

#

like a guy watches all of one piece WITHOUT learning abt one pace

#

Then he feels bad and tries to get others to go thru the same thing as him

storm plover
#

when you compare it to most other shows the whole of one piece pacing is objectively bad tho

whole tiger
#

Yes objectively it is

storm plover
#

meant to reply to @dapper wing lol

dapper wing
#

Yeah I agree

whole tiger
#

One Piece anime watchers have gotten content to it so it doesnt really matter anymore

whole tiger
#

Especially with good animation nowadays

whole tiger
storm plover
#

basically every egghead ep has felt good to watch even thought its still only 1 chapter an ep 😭

whole tiger
polar cobalt
#

oh

storm plover
#

like a page or 2?

whole tiger
whole tiger
storm plover
#

either way, for the most part it didnt feel like my soul was getting sucked outta my body

whole tiger
#

thats bc egghead is generally good and content rich

#

Stuff is going on

storm plover
#

not ridiculous to say top 5 arc in onepiece BBWise

whole tiger
#

its my #3

storm plover
#

story and enjoyment wise

whole tiger
#

I count w7 and enies as one arc

storm plover
#

i just think of it as 1 big super arc

#

a top 1 arc if i say so myself BBWise

whole tiger
#

character wise its my #1

#

personally enjoy marineford more tho

Post TS arcs teach you patience😭

rich nymph

but people are overexaggerating, its only the last episodes that are hard to watch

magic elm

Im so happy that Oda ||added Zou between Dressrosa and WCI or it wouldve been a bit overwhelming😭 ||

surreal dune
# magic elm i still like fights

I do too, they just pale in comparison to emotional and political intrigues for me now. I can respect we all have different likes

magic elm

i mean if youre talking about Robin, thats easily top 3 flashbacks in the entire anime

said nobody

however ||Jimbei said it can be stopped with water||

#

Water Luffy return?🙀

rigid quiver
hushed seal
#

Yes

rich nymph
magic elm
#

And earlier ||he stopped Katakuri's attack on Luffy with tea or something||

#

But i guess i was kinda wrong since any liquid works

rigid quiver
# magic elm

Oh he just meant like if you're trapped in his mochi you just need moisture to get out of it, to make it softer

hushed seal
#

I mean tea is still technically water

magic elm
#

but if you attack him would you get stuck?

rigid quiver
magic elm
#

does his body have a mochi coating or something?

hushed seal
#

Keep watching

rigid quiver
#

He turns his body into it

magic elm
#

and armament works against it? surely it does

rigid quiver
#

That's why I said it's basically a logia

hushed seal
#

So does that mean luffy is a logia cause his body turns to KizaruWHUH rubber?

rigid quiver
#

No

rigid quiver
#

Because he can't switch between being rubber and not rubber

hushed seal
#

It only acts like a logia cause of his haki

rigid quiver
#

?

hushed seal
#

It's still a paramecia

Why does

I kinda dont like dat

Yamato idolizes Oden

And wants to be like him

Too much

Imagine her saying to kozuki odens retainers that she is kozuki oden

i feel like you can idolize a dude without stealing his identity

I mean I don't think Yamato is stealing his identity like that

inner torrent
#

If she said she wanna be like kozuki oden dats fine yk

#

But she said "for i am kozuki oden"

#

You are not kozuki oden you fraud

Oden was oden becouse he was oden

Yamato should beccome like oden becouse she was yamato not oden
