I was on a crusade to get people to say fortnightly when discussing a matter occurring once every two weeks, remove the ambiguity of biweekly.

Why is there an ad when I have YT premium wtf Lemony you sending me malware

vale heath
#

Wasn’t YouTube trying to roll out two tiers of premium, the cheaper one just being less ads instead of no ads

#

We wish you a very merry The FBI Recommends You To Have An Adblocker

maybe having youtube connected helps, im uncertain

Other cool hack: I convinced my rokutv that I’m in Portugal so now it serves me ads in Portuguese

I mean i have premium now so its no ads at all but before that yea every other ad was in Spanish or Portuguese

You know, I wish they would stop introducing characters that are too strong to join the crew like first Yamato said they were going to join, but of course they can’t because you know they’re way too strong and now we have Loki who’s definitely not joining

steel stirrup

#

My solution to this problem is either give all the straw hats besides Zorro and Sanji buffs so they can catch up to those two and after that give Sanji and Zorro a buff so they’re stronger than Yamato

Nami just needs to be more gun-ho with Zeus imo

Franky may be getting a buff if he can find something in the Lab on Elbaf

Meek is forgetting about the Mythical Zoan tax

#

For the strawhats, Robin and Chopper have gotten "flashback" buffs (Confirming fishman karate and Caesar reformulating Rumbleball). I assume Usopp/Franky will get "flashback" Vegapunk buffs. Nami got Zeus straight-up. It's really just Brook, but he'll probably end up showing something new against Imunko.

Because at this point everybody they fight should be like around ulti’s level or so

If she had Zeus at the start of the fight, she’d have won

If its someone she can’t beat then she just shouldn’t be fighting WM

I think it’s more likely Oda will just always include enemies each SH can handle in a group

Sabaody 2 would be a major let down for me

#

Sabaody through Marineford is all about playing with the sensibilities OP has established for us

#

It’s so impactful because it’s the only stretch that ends in utter failure

graceful grove
grand flower
#

It’s the only deviation from Op asking you to tune in to see how Luffy wins

#

Instead of OP being a work that asks you to tune in to see IF Luffy would win

#

Another Sabaody or Mf style failure would undermine the conclusion of the Mf saga tbh

#

ā€œThis taught us a lesson. Let’s go train to make sure it doesn’t happen againā€ oughta stick with the ā€œso it doesn’t happen againā€ part

I believe good writing is a matter of if what the author is trying to do is conveyed in what they end up doing

#

And I think it’s possible to dislike what the author is trying to do

But if they convey it, it’s good writing regardless

Ok, that's fair

My rejection isn’t on people saying they don’t like it

#

I do agree in that Oda has said he likes his happy endings

grand flower
#

But when they say it shouldn’t be in OP

#

It adds to what OP is trying to be so I wouldn’t agree with that

grand flower
#

Mostly because people are willing to accept swerves in everything else to the point they probably don’t think about it

#

Leo Bazooka on Dofy was a fake out

#

I’ve never seen a reason why death is something you can’t fake out

#

Especially because stories do that all the time anyway

#

So Oda’s usage has never been odd to me

#

He just has a reason to make it a main motif

#

I see a lot of ā€œstories don’t do it this oftenā€ and I’m just like yeah, they didn’t have a purpose to do that Oda just figured one out

thick mango
#

the reason is the finality is what makes death especialyl impactful

grand flower
#

I have two things to say that

thick mango
#

so if the author is constantly sowing doubt about the fniality then its loses its impact

grand flower
#

You’ve probably heard it already

thick mango
#

i mean you can do it, it just makes your deaths less impacful

#

if i have story A and story B and story A never does a death fake out ever, if i see a death scene, its gonna hit much harder in A all things being equal

grand flower
#
  1. People do just die so that doesn’t even really apply. No one would ever have to die for that mindset
thick mango
#

its a probabalsitic thing

grand flower
#
  1. Our sensibilities about death being absolute and final is exactly why people write stories about cheating death in the first place
thick mango
#

adn the biggest jump is from 100% to 99

grand flower
#

I think I just don’t understand why people are unable to get on board with

#

You’re reading a story where miracles happen csuse Oda wants to celebrate joy

thick mango
#

thats fine but that also means im not too worried when i see an apparent death in oda's story

#

i dont believe him

grand flower
#

It’s not even like it’s only miracles so I’ve just really never been able to understand peoples issues

thick mango
#

and so when he actually wants to a do a real death

#

that skepticism undermines it

grand flower
#

That’s not a rhetorical question

#

There are stories where that’s the appeal

#

You can feel free to interpret answering that however you want

#

I’ll work with what you say

#

I’m realizing you can probably take that a couple ways

thick mango
#

i mean i see something like bartolomeo and my reaction is 'ah whatever, hes perfectly fine, he got off easy.' Im guessing that wasnt odas intention. He has ruined any sense of trust in consequences. Maybe oda thinks thats fine and thats fine if thats the choice he wants to make

grand flower
thick mango
#

but is that a big impactful event? nah. That massive explosion that destroyed his ship might as well have been a kick in the shins cause the trust in consequences has been so thoroughly degraded

grand flower
#

This is something I say often about the death thing

#

When you’re getting a different emotional sting

#

Then what’s the problem

#

In another story the impact may be Barto dying

thick mango
#

thats fine yeah i do agree we can just accept were in a mode where people probably arent gonna die ever thats not inherently inferior

grand flower
#

In OP, it’s the anticipation of luffys response

grand flower
thick mango
#

but i guess the one instance where it is an objective downside is when you want to do a real death

#

i did not think pedro was dead for real for a long time

#

so hes trying to do this noble grand thing and it didnt hit like that at all

#

it hit like, ah hes probably fine

grand flower
#

I don’t think Oda has done any other fake out like Pedro’s death

trim lily
thick mango
warm sierra
#

without fake out deaths people wouldnt cope about kid still being alive

grand flower
#

Great we’re in the Florian triangle

grand flower
#

That alone tells you he isn’t dead

trim lily
#

granted we never saw that in the manga lol

thick mango
#

so thats what id say. Id agree with you that we can go into a mode where death is extremely unlikely and thats not bad 99% of the time. But the one place where it is bad is when you try to do a real death scene

grand flower
#

When has the story itself told us someone had Hao and axed em before we saw it

grand flower
#

No way Oda is giving a character Hao and theyre done without it being featured

thick mango
#

When youre trying to lean on the finality of death to ehance the impact of the scene, it no longer works if youve repeatedly disrespected that finality

grand flower
#

I don’t think Oda has anything to worry about when he wants us to believe someone is dead

thick mango
#

back of my mind im thinking is someone like tontonna princess gonna come out and save him. I dont know all the wano people. its certainly possible

grand flower
#

He’s going to hammer it hime

#

Home*

trim lily
#

problem is that is how do you know if he wants us to believe someone is dead

grand flower
trim lily
#

like with how kaido and big mom were treated i would assume he wants us to know theyre dead

#

but people have been conditioned to think otherwise

grand flower
thick mango
grand flower
#

Or when people just say they’re dead

thick mango
#

pell being the most egregious

warm sierra
#

gun wounds may as well not be lethal at all in One Piece

grand flower
#

Oda makes it vague when they’re coming back

#

Vergo and Monet for example

grand flower
#

We don’t see them die

trim lily
thick mango
#

people are still arguging years later whether kaido and bm are dead

grand flower
#

But the dialogue about the lab exploding and their convos with Dofy makes it clear

#

They died

#

You can use what’s happening around it to know if it’s true or not

#

Like when they just looked at Doji’s smoldering bidy and left

thick mango
#

so whats even the point?

grand flower
#

They treated their injured every other time

trim lily
thick mango
grand flower
thick mango
#

and i dont blame people for doubting it

grand flower
#

Izou and Doji were pretty clearly dead because their scenes were very grim

#

We see Izou bleeding out alone and the scabbards leave Doji behind

#

They never left behind injured before

#

They knew he was gone

trim lily
#

could you not say the same about kinemon though

#

we saw him get bisected by kaido and left in an emotional final scene

jade rain
thick mango
#

at this point decapitation of a non power user or extreme impalement like ace is the only thing ill believe

grand flower
#

Kinemon’s had a really long term set up and pay off with laws powers in PH

#

also

#

The emotional sting of that scene wasn’t to sell us that Kinemon died

thick mango
#

when luffy defeats imu my reaction will be at least 10% 'yeah but is it REALLY over'? That reaction is inescapable

grand flower
#

The point of that scene was Momo thought he did and while in grief, he still announced Luffy would win

thick mango
#

its created by fake out deaths

#

i do not have this reactio in other stories

grand flower
#

That entire chapter is the beasts pirates going ā€œnow that Luffy is lost their spirits will be brokenā€

#

And the samurai starting to feel doubt

#

It’s the chap Sanji tells chopper to believe in miracles and the heart pirates find Luffy

#

All that is to say

#

The entire chapter is about Kaido being wrong about despair because Momo rose above it

#

And a ā€œmiracleā€ saved Kinemon’s life

#

The complete happenstance of Law never getting around to fixing him in punk hazard

thick mango
#

i do get what youre saying that its fine to have a story about joy and miracles but im saying taking that stance means im never 100% believing a miracle isnt around the corner when you actually wanna kill someone

grand flower
#

That’s on you

#

I’ve seen enough people die in this series

#

I can’t understand thinking that way when people continue to just die

#

Saturn died lol

thick mango
#

i dont think its even 50% real deaths to fake deaths

#

there are probably more fake deaths than real deaths

grand flower
#

I don’t see why that matters

#

When people die, you know it

thick mango
#

it means your default assumption should be fake death, not real death

grand flower
#

Because that death serves a purpose

#

Okay go ahead and do that and get your lil surprise when they’re really dead

#

I don’t see what’s wrong with that

#

That’s how I felt about Doji

thick mango
#

i dont think its as cut and dry as youre making it out to be, and disagreement about whether certain characters are truly dead is evidence of that

grand flower
#

I was surprised then when I went back to the scene later, I was like ā€œoh yeah I see why he diedā€

grand flower
#

Like the worst case scenario is Kaido and big mom

#

If they came back, why wouldn’t they just attack Wano again rihht?

#

So you have an issue with closure with their defeat

#

Well, big mom is mentally unstable and doesn’t care about Wano, and Kaido was in Wano as a ā€œif Joy boy never comes backā€ thing

#

So even in the worst case scenario tje story already baked in reasons not to worry about it too much

#

The only thing to worry about is, why wouldn’t they just endanger Wano again and we have answers we can fill in ourselves already so there’s really no problem

#

And if they do turn out dead then problem solved before it even begins

#

As it stands now, the story functions with shrodingers dead emperors because Oda already set up new directions if they live, and the story’s functioning if they’re dead

torn kite
#

what upgrades do you think Usopp can still make to the clima-tact at this point

#

Honestly, I don’t think Nami gets any stronger from here on out unless it’s haki related

#

Like seriously, though, I can’t think of a single upgrade for her besides her using even stronger lightning, which I don’t even think is possible at this point, but sure

grand flower
#

Thinking about it, seeing Whitebeard and Roger in the Wano flashback makes a lot of sense

#

Yasui using his execution to make a declaration that hurts the antagonist is what they did

grand flower
#

Usopp will probably focus on upgrades for himself with dials returning for his close range stuff

torn kite
#

I guess so but like I said, though, I don’t think nami it’s getting any stronger from now on unless it’s haki related, but besides that no more power ups for her,

#

Or I guess the better way to put it is, I don’t think the clima-tact is going to get any more upgrades

Speaking of leakers did Buggys dinghy have a toilet? Luffy and Zoro probably just went off the edge but i can't really see Nami doing that. The live action went out of their way to say there wasn't one but i had always assumed there was

The reason Koby started off so much weaker than Usopp but is now way stronger than him is because bro was literally trained by one of the strongest people ever like I feel like people forget usopp is literally self taught

Yes, but unfortunately, he is not an overpowered old head who knows all forms of haki but he was definitely a good mentor for the most part

#

And he was never supposed to or going to be some haki god, Usopp is meant to be like the most "relatable" in the crew, closest to just average human... no crazy superpower etc

I think he stopped being an average person around water 7

Or maybe a little bit before that
