The pacing has been extremely fast
Undying body mean it's will never die but clearly that's not the case
you guys dont be reading man...
when corpo made this guy write something for 20+ years without getting tired
like its literally right there
oops
It's over for oda bro
it just means they have regeneration, undying body is not accurate
You are relying on the english choice of words. And the english language is renowned for have several ways to say the same thing. You can blame Stephen Paul if you like
Idk both tcb and viz state the same thing
Huh? They can't regenerate
Only sandman can help
??????????????
its one thing to not pay attention to the chapter, but to ignore a singled out image that I posted?????????
we talked about this last time
They can, it was seen in this chapter
they literally regenerated from the wound they gave to each other lol
Its the piccolo regen
"Guys we can keep chopping off their limbs it won't do anything!"
"What about the head?"
"....we should have tried ngl"
They regen everything except the actual kill strike

So they can Regen but they can die? What?
G5 drums of liberation reverting DR would’ve been infinitely better
yeah we did
Wound regeneration is different than undying body
I expected like holy knight who don't die even after their bodies cut down to several pieces
But it could be translation issues
gunko upscale
They should just take a gun and shoot them in the head
So oda just decided to make the biggest bullshit ever
are you still comparing it to rocks situation?
cuz rocks had CoC defense
Which is not shown with these giants
Dorry Broggy came back cuz they chose literal decapitation
Imagine if they missed their swing
Also domi reversi fight was rushed and that's why it's not satisfying
Atleast we should have seen domi reversi dorry and broggy attacks
Domi Reversi plot point was useless
Situation should feel somewhat urgent
so losing the entire upper half of your body is not a kill strike
isnt this how it works in zombie media too? where any kind of regeneration or undeadness is countered by simply cutting off the head of the zombie
This also happens when people want to point to Gaban saying "they are not immortal" and then trying to hold "immortal" to the iron-clad rule of the english definition. Here, undying is refering to the regen factor they have. That's it
This chapter might be more controversial than Bonney Nika
i rarely see people pointing out that these DRs can use CoC defense IF they had em or can use them
insane
Not enough 
I literally am not sure what was gained
did it break the internet?
Were you the one I argued with regarding the immortality thingy?
That chapter is EASILY better than this chapter
Some zombies can only be put down with head destruction/decapitated yea
Its not even comparable
That's true
in a bad way this time
Bonney Nika stuff had payed off build up and feels
need to remind me which part
the one where they can die? but not die
Ig major reason why people don't like this chapter because how its was too easy to figure out domi reversi weakness
And in certain media, regeneration needs like...
Either head destruction or complete annihilation
It's similar to the series Highlander, where you can try to kill the immortal in all kinds of ways but the only way to actually kill one is to chop their heads off
Yeah this just makes no fucking sense
I think Wolverine's regen is stopped if u fuck up his head
Dorry and broggy figure it out by themselves
atm im separating rocks way of dying
and how these giants dying
it is NOT the same
people said they didn't want haki to be the answer to everything
Theres tiers of regeneration, we can see that already. Domi Reversi seems to be more like a Zombie, doesnt need any special abilities to be countered. HKs need ACoC to be damaged. Imu and possibly the Gorosei are immune to even ACoC damage.
aint yall happy now
How?
imma just copy paste it hold up
The tier of regenerative powers goes like this
Imu > Gorosei > Holy Knights > Marco > Domi Reversi
So we admitted that rocks didn't die after getting shit on by Roger and Garp?
Why us 🥲
That is incorrect, at least in some versions of the comics. I've seen Logan destroyed to nearly nothing and still come back
Logias technically regenerate but only against conventional attacks
We need satisfying conclusion to plot points
Domi reversi giants plot point turn out to be boring .
No sense of urgency and lackluster way to reveal weakness
Lot of media tend to go for the head as the true decisive end
here u go
Ye it depends
Tho destroying his head/brain does work in some cases
Yea, I think Oda is definitely inspired by that sort of idea here. Decapitation being the key to beating a regen user isnt something thats being done for the first time here lol
Could be also a factor 
I am surprised that people dislike this, you guys have gotta understand, theres gonna be hundreds of thousands of Domi Reversed Demons at some point
i dont know why yall ignoring the haki draining feature
Expected usopp to play a key role in reversing dorry and broggy
lol
I beleive the duration could play a part but not sure
Im kinda scared for Usopp as a character if he gets nothing this arc. The pace the arc is moving is scary
That might be it, though it might just be because he was taken out in a different way
is it over for usopp fans yet
Its not like Oda's gonna give ACoC to all of the SH alliance in the final war, that would just be ridiculous. This is actually perfect.
im not even talking about how rocks got turned
compare to dorry
can we finally put them down
If Usopp gets nothing, then I will openly admit Oda is washed and should just kill off usopl
Idk man...I guess we'll see how this plays out with other characters
i should edit an image so i can spam it everytime this comes up
I meant rocks was on dr longer than dorry and broggy imo
This is just a whole lot of bs
I don't think all of them can kill either, especially depending on the foe
I really wanted a cool Dorry and Broggy fight
ok how
I also wouldn’t put any stocks into any strawhat except the monster trio
its easy to explain
vs who
I understand why people dislike it .
It was too rushed .simple as that.
Domi reversi answer reveal wasn't bad but the execution of entire scenario was just way too easy
No usopp moment in elbaf is character assassination
Lack of urgency and care
There's no mention of stamina drained. It stated that you fully recover after dying
It does feel awkward cuz then its implying that what rocks did to the Davy demons weren't true kill shots lol
There are no exceptions
Also, I wouldn't put it past DR to have other twists to it. It seems to be solved for now, but that's just their guess. If a piece can be flipped once, it can be flipped again. That's the nature of reversi.
They honestly should’ve been
Watch Killingham get defeated next chapter
Dorry and broggy should have been some threat in domi reversi considering their status
Dorry and Brogy being > Zoro would’ve been way way way better
But they were done in too easily
It's either that rocks did not die (bullshit)
or rocks did indeed die but oda is inconsistent like he always is (also bullshit)
I mean execution is fair, though I will say, we're clearly in an upward trends in the arc. The big "hope" phase, as long as Imu stands though, he can flip it right back to despair.
Thats not inconsistent
I expected usopp to do something to bring dorry and broggy back temporarily
?? Garling killed him anyways?
Rocks is dead
what do you mean? roger and garp got KO using that much stamina
SURELY that can happen to rocks
It's inconsistent bro
Please drop rocks
Xebec did not die to Roger and Garp's attack lol
Well, it is because they were turned back, but he did all kill/kill them in the process. So it could be he thought he was double tapping them, but they had actually be rising up okay and he tragically killed them a second time
Xebec died to Garling
What about garp and Roger?
wat
Bro what tf are you even saying
Garp and Roger were so exhausted by the fight that they couldnt even move lol
Thats kinda funny ngl
WE'RE BACK TO GAAAAAH
Rocks: DEMONS, RISING FROM THE DEAD
all 3 men were exhausted, completely
you remember roger and garp got KO cuz of the amount of haki ye?
do i need to pull panels?
Roger and Garp put themselves to sleep for days lol
I think he probably was, that's why they thought they killed him, and his body was returned to his other non-demon form
Or at least
A while
tbh, that whole thing was always weird to me, cause it seemed like Garling was the one who converted them. I guess the regen tier might be even lower for them.
Yes
Yea I don't like the upward trend for alliance but entire scenario of domi reversi giants should have been done way better.
We didn't see a single attack from domi reversi dorry and broggy on random giants and also jarul was never once in trouble.
There was no sense of urgency and stake.
Like compare it to when parents desperately tried to save the children ,that bring up the stake and emotions
explain it
So basically
I get it, these guys dont
no one knows cuz we dont know if umu has different versions of it and its perks
We won't know until given a full explaination
its all IFs
yes, you flip them off until they become so angry that they ignore damage. but once they die you flip em off again, making them live out of spite
And so, that sums up Domi Reversi.
its whatever oda fells like at the moment
I mean I will just tell you to wait and see, the upwards trend is only odd if it continues on, I just dont think it will. I think everything is about to go wrong for the alliance
this was not done to rocks
and no one can explain that clearly
Amazing
You get the parts you currently see, adding your own conjecture to make it work. But you don't actually get it, not really Lol
When Brook clashed with Imu, thats the moment I knew something was wrong
no I get it
that shouldnt be possible
fully
Pls explain
Brook literally deserves it
notice how he hasnt been seen since that attack that he allegedly blocked, what does that tell you
True
ngl i want to see DR brook
Brook ain't dead man
No brook appearance lol
we haven't seen brook in a while he's cooked
He is
Buddy literally got offscreened lmao
then you must be Oda. Give us the directions to that treasure chest!
brook has been domi reversied
the attack that you guys incorrectly believed was blocked actually defeated Brook
cmon
Brook loves to fight people 100x stronger than him, have a cool moment then get no diffed off screen
it's his 2nd favourite activity after sexual harrasment
Brook got oneshotted and everyone is in denial I am afraid
U know
Imagine if demons dorry broggy actually did kill jarul
And then they got turned back to normal
Any explanation would be fine for me
Tbf, I said next chapter could prove my thoughts wrong
brook face off 1v1 with BM
now with Imu
he really is a beast of a bone
And it did
Easy solution to most intense build up section of the arc is just not it
Hopefully oda deliver the rest
This was such an insane moment
Looking back on it with all the new chapters feels sad
like all the MMA's got beat by Loki
Sommers got clowned
Killingham too
I don't mind mma getting beat by loki
Same with sommers
Killer Ham had to lose
He was racist
Id say hes dead but well..ya know… skull joke 🤷♀️
Actually sommers is great and interesting villain
Basically, they have the lowest tier of regen. Superficial attacks do not work, they can recover from their wounds and keep on going. But in the case of an instant fatality, they won't recover.
If you think Killy was taken out by that, you're a fool
genuinely what were you expecting
also he called it dream demon
what happened with nightmare name?
The MMAs were just cool monsters to set up for Loki
He ain't losing yet, but he will in like 2 more chapters
Whos dentis is about to be the happiest man in the world

And Rocks has a higher tier? How do we know that
The names seem to vary by translation
Expecting for them to last longer
How do you people hype up Loki as the strongest thing ever and then at the same time complain that he is easily dealing with the monsters of a guy that is several tiers below him?
how does this compute
Sommers is great
Killinham is great
Just oda fucked up the domi reversi plot line
Elbaf was going perfect otherwise
Finally im diagnosed as a straight up fool
I'm pretty sure he'll last longer than Summers. If Sommers can keep coming back, Killy sure will
maybe you talking about a separate group of people
Oh yeah, Oda absolutely embarrassed the MMA’s so bad across several chapters that he decided to “Let’s continue to use the MMA’s as punching bags for Strawhat hype moments” Am I supposed to be hyped that Franky and Jinbei teamed on a MMA? Like for real? I think the coolest thing in that chapter is Franky FINALLY getting an upgrade

no I dont think so, the same thing happened with Xebec lol
most intense build up section of arc
Imu is right there
He has to be the strongest
But has to equally match the enemy
Every1 else has to get curb stomped
Also, I was waiting for one of the HKs to talk about Jinbe. It would have actually been strange if they hadn't
I am talking about SB and his people
True but it's was still hype because Zeus life was in stake atleast
it is funny how imu just chilling being menacing in the distance
"Im using my summoner build leave me alone"
Dream monster is done anyway
Oda is just essentially trying to give the strawhats anything
It was cool moment
Jinbei hasn't been that great this arc tbh
Regardless
I mean he's not the strongest ever, and he's basically dealing with fodder
its not really meant to be a big deal lol, its just cool
Dr loki vs straw hats incoming
The combo attack should’ve been Jinbei and Sanji
Oda didnt present it as a big deal
Thats what im wondering about, Roger and Garp gave all their strength into beating Xebec and passed out, and Xebec was dying as well and Garling gave him the rest, or was Xebec not dying and just laying around?
On killingham
and we all know how it ends
Loki will get saved
he just showed how they casually dealt with it, its not supposed to be a big deal lol
Disagree
Wont lie this domi reversi balance update from oda makes me curious about imu’s powers origin more
Sanji defending jinbei is poetic if you read the series
I think after last week, the fact that he's not here this week is telling.
Its a waste of pages
just watch how gunkos arrow DF will easy wrap around lokis wings and crash him in the ground
This WILL happen
cmon
Loki comes in with his dragon form then gets jumped by 3 mmas and dies instatnly
if anything, we should be getting more pages of this
Honestly rare sanji W
im serious lol. We didn’t need more MMA bullying
the crew just being cool and competent and having no issue
What is? The strawhats attacking the monsters?
you serious
dealing with these lower tier monsters
I like mma way more than smile imo
They are coolest creature
luffy will try fighting gunko but the arrow ability will confuse the shit out of him
being all comedic goofy again for like a couple of chapters oda will delay him
Also, I do wonder, how much will Dorry and Broggy's lost lifespan factor in
Did people really hype up MMAs to be these super threats
Lifespan part will never be relevant
I just thought they were cool monsters to be taken out for a quick bit
its because of gaban
They are threats
If loki wasn't there ,mmas would have destroyed the entire elbaf
And can be infinitely respawned
I think Xebec was exhausted after having that extended fight with Roger and Garp, like they both were after fighting him. Dorry and Brogy barely even did anything to be exhausted.
Why not both…? It doesn’t take away from the moment if you add Jinbei, the one who gets payback when people talk shit about his race
Luffy lifespan cut to a 10th of what it is but he's still fine probably 
I think what can be at play is Imu cursing Rocks with a different method and also Rocks using supreme king Haki to fight
So his wounds healed?
You’re genuinely telling me Jinbei teaming up on MMA’s with franky is better than teaming up on Killingham with Sanji
Ye
But thats just hypothetical in the end
Like...otherwise Killer Ham would have just made demon giant Nika luffy V5
I think they should have some issue, which they did have this arc so that was good. They were basically dominated this entire arc. If it wasn't for Gunko's lapse of control for a moment, they would still be tied up. Except maybe for Robin thanks to Sanji. I like to see them have to struggle and even fail rather than just always succeed
yes the meta answer is they are just hype tools for the protags to 1 shot
like how franky and jinbe did
Idk why you insist on jinbei and sanji attacking together
Sanji defending jinbei from racism and also attacking killingam is way more epic imo
It’s funny how people trash on them for losing to Gunko as a Yonko crew, but then also get mad when the SHs overcome an obstacle
Again, it still carries the same meaning
I mean yeah??? Garp blasted a million holes through his body and Roger cut his leg and they all come back when he is out of Domi Reversi
Agree
It reminds me of how piratefolk thinks Haki is making fights boring while also saying it’s bad writing that the SHs are a Yonko crew and so many of them don’t use Haki
Threats until the relevant fighters show*
Franky need haki after this upgrade ? Don't think so
They would have an issue with Qilingham and Sommers I am sure, but these monsters are whatever
that makes sense
good work guys
cuz scalers hate the idea that their fav none top tier character cant compete at the highest level
when DF+COC+COC defense is at work
also regen
(Arsal)
They’d be mad that franky abandoned science because “Haki is all that matters”
I mean, they are. Did you see what they did to the giants in the very beginning? They are not something to be passed over as nothing. Without Loki, they would be overrun with these things. They can't die, and they keep respawning.
its really not all the complex, its on the contrary
a little too simple
I guess again, when I think about my Celestial Domi Reversi idea
it makes sense to me that this is the counter after all
I like how people dont try to explain it and are just like "well its Oda" if its that easy
It's was just rushed plot point
Explanation was just correctly but wasn't executed the best
I don't think "whatever". You needed several strawhats to take out just 1 and even if you do that, they just keep coming back
Killingham can easily make the MMA’s more dominating again by pulling nightmares from people that have a better understanding of their strength
this is true it felt too quick
Arsal Chan are you excited for Macho Giant Hajru Savage
Yeahh
Like Gaban commented
Dorry and broggy suddenly regaining consciousness and killing each other out of nowhere was kinda what
I think you mean OHHH YEAHHH
We never saw them attack on any of the giant or jarul
well my take on this was controversial when I said it yesterday
what take
We expected something from usopp against domi reversi after this badass speech
But oda fucked up usopp again
They regained consciousness when they hit each other by accident
I think Imu will just snap his fingers and Domi them back right away as soon as he wants to
Usopp L
you guys think this mf will showup?
I don't think this is the last we're seeing of Domi Dorry and Brogy
"We" "again" bro just making assumptions to slander Usopp
I still believe, in destiny...
Could be false hope
yeah I think so
Accidents in sense of urgency is good but that was just too easy
Hopefully
holy peak
yeah nah im not buying this is all imu has
imu WILL use more resources soon
Usopp new power
Delusion
False hope and also, Oda's taking out Dorry and Brogy temporarily so that Zoro and Sanji can focus on the HKs
I dont know I just lost faith. I think this DR plot is over and at best applies to Loki
Offscreen incoming
Domi reversi vs giants and zoro will be offscreen
once they are dealt with, we'll go back to THE matchup. ZoSan v Dorry and Brogy
Yeah Loki would be really hard to beat still
these dialog alone just telling me its just going to be whatever goofy fight
they all comeback to normal
Don't see it happening
Offscreen fight
Don't expect anything
yep
We will return to them when everyone become normal
this is not that the epic cool wicked battle scalers waiting on
That would be funny, and I would like that a bit more. It is reversi after all. You should be able to flip them back and forth. Like if you kill their good versions now, will they flip back to demons again?
Usopp WISHES he was as good as Charles Xavier
kinda wanna make another no mustache edit for hajrudin
Well in that case they would be immortal
aint that the lebron beard
The abe lincoln
I dunno. Lebron is a US thing
Skill issue. I can see it happening, its literally playing out in my head right now.
Didn't you expected the same thing in wano and that's why you like it less ?

Oh yeah be careful Arsal
Domi reversi will become good again when it's loki turn

Interesting
Some things dont happen even if they should and then we get disappointed
Zoro kills Loki
read the chapter and the reversal was so ass, cut their heads off and back like nothing happened
ZKL lesgo
I mean HONESTLY
Not my fault my way is better
meanwhile rocks
I thought usopp will bring back dorrya nd broggy to consciousness
(but loki revives anyway )
what did you guys think about dorry and brogy this chapter
But what will usopp do now M
Loki gets Domi Reversed
Zoro vs Loki
Luffy vs Imu
never expect anything from that bum
Wroggy
HOLD UP this guy on to something
i want to see them argue over who won
Rushed
No single attack from them on random giants or jarul
No sense of urgency and done too quick
Feel undercooked and lackluster
hated it
i think undercooked is the right way to put it
what are the chances IMU spawns more HKs
maybe a couple of gorosei?
Killingham is the only one I could see but its not necessary
So it could be
i feel relieved a little that everyone seems to agree
i can already see how SH deal with killingham
someone takes killingham horn that controls the dream monsters so thats useless soon
so killingham will use his base form to fight without summoning
there might also be some personality issue that makes him lose also vs sanji
Damn legit no one cares about how Reversi is played
@buoyant comet dm me the art you sent earlier
if one HK dies dies
then that would fuck up imus body = opening for luffy or loki do fuck him up
Or that Loki can be cursed
Maybe
im not even including brook mind fucking gunko imu
yeah i dont really care how reversi is played
so imu will drop something big soon
I think the ultimate solution is still going to be linked with Luffy, but yea, as long as Imu can will it, I think the board will just be flipped back again.
“The kingdom of lulusia was never real”
That don’t tell you Imu can most likely just flip em back
Been thinking about it, the covenant should still exist. The contract should still absolutely exist
?
its real dammit
this is the plot oda planned
that wont happen
Would be cool
Honestly imu just turning them back and back again wld be brutal
So Imu should still ultimately be able to reverse it again
Yet you’re so sure that Reversi is undercooked instead of an ongoing development
i think the dorry and brogy moment was undercooked
Loki's ultimate move
He shoots his lightning breath into the sky
It triggers a storm
A lightning storm that falls down like lasers

I just imagine a zombie shanks arm coming out of the abyss an beating the living hell out of buggy
Let’s see how the arc goes
wait yeah loki can control the storms
given almost no time to grieve and there was very little build up to the actual moment, felt very abrupt for such a cool moment
i think it'll be great in the anime at least
Imu: fire the weapon
Loki: I am the weapon
I wouldn’t get myself worked up about it when they can be cursed again
we always go back to skypeia huh?
this mf oda man
Eh I didn't mind it, it was a full scene
it just wont happen shuron
would feel completely redundant unless theres something new to add
Sounds like a waste of time
them getting cursed again sounds like a waste of time lol
Look you could be right or he could be right, I'm not necessarily seeing where the confidence is coming from macks
Yeah it would demonstrate that they can’t rely on brute force because they will fatigue before Imu becomes unable to curse them again
That’s conflict
They would need to find another solution
Wano was the element of fire
But this is oda's actual favorite element
Lightning
what we need is a scene of "you may have defeated the weakest holy knights, but there are far stronger holy knights out there"
Idk the word for it
I wanna say shameful
But the way Yall have just ten toes locked down on the interpretation that bothers you when nothing is definitive yet
Again lets think about it, Imu made a contract with them. This is something that he didn't even do with Xebec.
A contract with the devil cannot be nullified so easily I feel
Is wild
I feel like I’ve been watching people work themselves up since the spoilers came out
thats a perfect good point
imu made contact with tentacles
why ignore that
no circle also
A contract vs infected
See this is rhe kind of thing Yall should be doing
Imu: "you may have found the one piece Luffy... but I already own two one pieces!!"
This is more productive
Yeah, a contract is much more similar to what the HKs have.
Lolol
imu has contracts to all this it seams
rocks giants and HKs had it
And we saw it play out with Harald, his mind returned briefly but he said he'd soon go back to being his slave anyways
Also they very strongly associate them flipping back with what restored them and rocks never flipped
Rocks just changed
Yup
not only is it more similar, its literally what the HKs have lol
If imus powers are based on a magic system or are a magic system, it makes sense it’s very conditional
i wouldnt feel like i got baited if the moment continued to develop though shuron what im saying is that the indiviudal moment between dorry and brogy felt undercooked and low stakes because of how abrupt it was
Magic tends to be “Devil in the details”
i dont care if it continues or not really it wouldnt change the moment in this chapter
it would just make it more redundant feeling unless the development added anything
True true
I’m saying them being susceptible to being cursed again would just make that scene one part of an ongoing conflict
In most fictional media u gotta do a bunch of crazy shit to get the contract null and void
If not by doing another favor, then destroying the contract entirely
The abruptness wouldn’t matter because that’s just part of something bigger
Otherwise that shit stays with u for eternity
just post the panel of HK contract to Dorry contract lol its that easy
go compare
Xebec was just infected, he didn't make a "diabolical convenant" with Imu like the Giants
Rocks was directly infected by imu, if that matters anything compared to magic circle bs
I gave you something it adds and you ignored it
the abruptness wouldnt matter in terms of the overall conflict to be overcome but as a single emotional moment it still feels undercooked and abrupt so idc
Judging something meant to be taken as part of a whole as an individual thing sounds like a bad idea
so yeah if thats ur point i agree but its not what im talking about or most people i think
even if they assume that its the end of the moment
Its a full scene, building off of what we got with Zoro a couple chapters earlier
The moment is in service of something larger
I wouldn't call it abrupt at all personally
Shuron, who are you voting for? Gaban?
Separating it from that larger thing doesn’t make sense to me
how are feeling about the convenient gadget from Lilith?
thats a contract ye?
Oh yeah I do need to
top left
I wonder if you have to refuse the contract for Reversi to take effect
I’m thinking of rotating Sommers - Gaban - Sanji.
i dont get this
That’s a solid roster good taste
Its an order, its not a magical circle based diabolical convenant
Go see it in 1150
aint that semantics
order contract obey me im god
i'll gladly take back what i said if it continues to develop interestingly and in a way that makes the moment this chapter feel less undercooked
Contracts are binding
the contract is the tattoo they get
the domi reverse is some other shit
against their will
but i dont see a way that could happen because the emotion of the scene is solitary and just serves to bolster the overall conflict
Like, because the Reversi flips you, it works inverse of how a normal contract would
Normally you’d agree to a contract. But Reversi requires the person to refuse the contract
what about this? this aint a contract?
thats not a tattoo
The thing is if we're linking imu to classic devils and devil contracts
The victim is willingly accepting the contract
like what continuation of the moment do you actually suggest would help to serve my problem with the scene
why is the tatto important for a contract
i dont see it personally
The emotion of the scene exists regardless ans you still haven’t addressed that fatigue would create a conflict to overcome
I’m more so confused on why so many of y’all have decided to be dug into the assumption it won’t happen
The arc isn’t over
Imu infected rocks while giving his orders
There wasnt any vibe of a "willing person submitting to the devil"
It probably is
Some1 check the harald contract acceptance bit
then why are people against this idea
its not like its a dumb one it makes perfect sense
imu is all great and powerful afterall
my problem is with how the scene is given to us shuron i really dont care about whether the conflict continues or not because again unless the scene meaningfully builds upon that moment that has seemingly very much reached its emotion catharsis, the conflict barely adds to the emotion of that scene
i feel like you just attached your own thoughts onto my comment without actually understanding what i was talking about the whole time
Yeah I don’t think I get where you’re coming from
all i care about is if it makes sense in the verse oda established
this is the only reason why I say domi reverse is different, because the gorosei mention only 3 stages
it also seems to not have any drawbacks to imu, unlike the covenants
my point is pretty clear its just that it's obvious to me that the emotion of the moment is over and done with and i think it doesnt land very well because it feels undercooked and abrupt, and that any continuation of the overall conflict (i.e. dorry and brogy get cursed again) wouldnt remedy how this otherwise very cool moment didnt land for me
Y’all, there is someone I like. She used to watch One Piece when she had Crunchyroll but she stopped watching it ever since ahe cancelled Crunchy. I offered her to give her episodes via a USB drive but she refuses because “it’s illegal”. How can I convince her that’s ok to watch pirated OP?
I guess I don’t see the problem since the moment progressed the plot by showing they revert if they’re killed. It didn’t feel abrupt to me, it just felt like a link between different points in the plot’s development which makes up for the fact that they didn’t actually die
invite her over to watch it
“Be patient”
And knowing what Imu is capable of and how Reversi is played irl gives me the knowledge to make conclusions on how the conflict will continue here
im just given so little time to grieve or digest when it could have felt like way more pivotal of a transition
give me like a chapter or two of doubt at least
Grieve for what when they’re not dead
Lol
Oh hell naw Yall woukd be mad about Oda milking a fake out if that happened
I’ve seen these games before
we can just settle with instead of calling it contract call it absolute command mind control order
Damn, I’m stupid. how could I forget the most obvious choice here?
i dont do that
He’s saying to drag it so we don’t know if they died immediately
I commend you
So the moment actually sits
i just ignore him, through out the arc he has done nothing that suggests he'll get any better
This is so clearly building up to Usopp's moment lol
you're welcome
“Clearly”
I don’t see the point in selling them being dead when the point is just to set up the next stage of dealing with the curse
I get where you’re coming from now tho
Mainly to build the drama
Cuz that scene is gruesome
i can obviously see that its meant to transition from one plot point to another and explain to us how this thing works
but its such a cool and pivotal moment that could have been handled with more grace
gruesome yet they reverted back in the same panel
it is absolutely more meaningful if we get to see what it means to other people
You wanted it to be more dramatic
but it quite literally is a matter of three panels before they resurrect themselves
i think its plenty dramatic just feels anticlimactic
I get where you’re coming from
But holy shit woukd the fandom be insufferable if he did that
exactly
I see the vision you’re going for but OP fans hate that
doctors hate him
i'd have preferred if oda ended the chapter with it lol
start out the next chapter with this
Like I’m reading yoi describe this ans I’m thinking “I don’t think it’s necessary but it does sound emotional”
whats the build up towards that anyway
zoro has a plan he did the plan
made them dmg each other
then skip to them suddenly snapping out of DR to killing each other then regen back
= oh thats how it works lol lets have fun killing these guys
more of a build up would have been nice as well, i remember the thing with zoro obv but that doesnt rly cut it for me idk
maybe usopp coulda seen it happen and that sparks a bit of a monologue
Back in TB years Zoro probably would have had half a chapters worth of fighting them
but then next chapter we see them turning back, my issue with this is how they are back again like nothing happened, they should be out of commission and not jump straight back into action
im sure you can understand that i'd prefer if things werent in the absolute most condensed form that they possibly could be
cause this really feels like that
Mmhmm I see what you mean by condensed
my easy explaination with this one is
its a stamina thing
You didn’t think it had as much time to breathe as it could have
which can be expanded but i think you get what i mean
I can see this having more time in a different age of Oda’s life
They just sliced each others necks , it’s not like they did as much work as rocks or Roger did during their fight with DR
to me anything about imu's ability right now feels like a last minute thought
also imu took a chunk of their lifespan
will that even make a difference
oda has done this before
Using all that haki
oda is definitely very good at making sure the important stuff gets included and thinning parts that arent important but just because its not strictly neccessary doesnt mean it makes the manga better by removing it and obviously oda knows that as well its just disappointing to see such a genuinely fantastic moment hit dull for me bcuz of this
cause it really is such a cool moment
i can simply cope that this is just low tier imu power
like 30% GV imu was like 60%
the main body is way powerful
but sabo escaped that one so i dunno
lol
literally decapitated yet its fine?
magically their head attaches back, they went with a fatal blow it doesnt matter if they put in the same work as Rocks, there should be some drawback
Idk about cool , it’s more necessary than cool , this latest DR scenes with the giants , it’s actually HILARIOUS On the last page tht they’re sarcastically broken hearted over the one thing they love to do which is fight and make war
yeah that was rly funny
Yes??? That’s the ability lol , the only difference is haki was used with rocks , that’s why he’s tired
they realize they can basically just do a sparing event without killing em
which they love
but i think its definitely meant to be a nostalgic emotional cool moment that just gets zero time to breathe
this is how shanks and mihawk battled btw

Its funny that DR Rocks was defending with Conq
"Kill me but i'm gonna defend to make it hard for you"
in a matter of twenty seconds i digested that dorry and brogy sacrificed themselves by ending their epic century long duel climatically by decapitating each other into them being alive and also lets fight now
yeah way different compare to herald
why tho
its the nidhogg buff i guess
- ragnir ofc
I think it’s because he got hit with DR straight from the source , his tendrils as opposed to standing on a circle
So it was harder for him to resist
Theory tho
why did the dmg on herald made him snap out
while the dmg on rocks dint
I think also cause of what I said
Tendrils vs circle
i swear its just a potent parasite thing
that went in rocks body
matter of source Ig or Oda is just making last minute decisions
Harald is a proper contract so idt we should discuss them in the same way as DR Rocks
literally being possessed by a demon
Oh wait you said Harald
Nvmd
a separate entity
dint rocks and herald got same amount of dmg before the final attack
both was using CoC defense
I’m dumb and was reading this as giants , not Harald
thats fine im just confirming
Cause giants also were able to lessen their hold a bit
And I think it’s cause of different method used essentially
Circle vs tendrils
what made roger+garp attack different from a full on HK contract that made him snap out
you would think an HK contract is more potent with the mind wipe
then again rocks mind was not wiped
That part could be as simple as they’re different abilities so different limitations
I wouldn't be surprised if in Haralds case, it was the fact that it was Loki doing it that caused Harald to snap out of it
Especially if it’s a DF in the end causing all this
Like just Loki being the one to take Harald down, forcing that on his son caused him to snap out of it
yeah this is my main take for now tbh
its just listing down the difference is important for later on
I notice DR and HK have opposite advantages
You literally can’t kill an HK with killing blows
But if you somehow do
They actually die
we also need to consider that rocks was very powerful might even have VoaT buff
herald being an ancient giant and that could affect the mind thing
So all they have to do is cut the turned giant's headoff. Why did Oda made it look like we need coc if its that simple
or provide a fatal blow
Because a strong character had DR, if Loki gets it, they’re gonna need CoC again
Domi reversi was never the hk pact
And just luffy won’t be enough
Conq will be required when it comes to HKs
That was a conclusion that was jumped to
DR is different
Garp and roger used acoc because thats what they fight with its their strongest ability
They also needed to because Rocks was using it to defend
what is similar with HK pact and domi
extra power + mind control + regen
not much of threat then, the strong needs to be careful now. Oda gotta reveal the criteria for DR
now whats the difference
it affects imu if they die and can teleport?
- wifi mind talk
so domi reversi - just kill them and they go back to normal
HKs - have to remove the mark with acoc then kill them with acoc while the mark is temporarily gone
Gorosei - i assume will be the same as the HKs
now all that’s left is to find out how to deal with Imu
just overwrite the mark with a new one
where did you got the mark being removed temporarily
cuz we see sommers getting obliterated
ngl im just betting on this whatever strong emotional response/will power
if an HK is willing then they are lost forever
harald seemingly regained "conciousness" when the mark was injured and started losing it again when it regenerated
consider he tried so hard to stop it
so his strong will might have made it possible + lokis haki dmg
while rocks even if only DR lost his will and gave up
you can say the same thing with dorry and broggy
the elbaf giant pride/will is so strong they can somehow snap out for a moment
I was wondering about that, were they really just literally talking to each other?
or was it something like voice of all things like with rocks?
i would say its almost the same amount of time as herald snap out
with what lilith said and all that
wait no herald was longer cuz the dialog
but he is stronger than them
bottom line its an elbaf will buff
Idt its VOAT but i also don't want to say they were just straight up talking to eachother, its weird
let me read that again i forgot what the speech bubble look like
I looked at them, they don't look any different from zoro's for example
oh wait
they talked first
then internal monolog for both of em
unless zoro could also hear them 
theres also some flashback there which just ignore cuz we cant tell how long that is lol
hey wait a second
ODA YOU HACK
thats not a headshot tho
where'd they get new shields so fast

i love that my reaction to this was: "why the hell is bink's sake so bad"

It probably regened
their weapons transforms also so its part of the package i guess
which i want to point out a very cool demon version
like this is a very cool looking blade
When the HKs regen, they also regen their clothing etc so probably regened the shields
also broggy's* arm
stump
exactly, did you finish that pic from yesterday? 
no, that was just a rushed sketch with no plans to finish
this is the inside on some bucklers
he can just put his stump there
which what it looks like
I guess that's for the better
handling that without the grip would be hell
warriors man go figure
man I can't find my own edit
yep def a stump now
Was interesting that it never regened the gap
there ya go, took me longer to find than I care for 
right that wrist got obliterated by the pellets
You'd think since DR gives regen, that it would have regened the missing gap in Brogy's wrist/arm
But ig its a situation of "it cant regen damage prior to DR"
yep im just going all in on gill
seems it can't regen what's gone beforehand
invisible creature making it float
Yeah it never healed, just stayed floating
what if the gorosei has no host like an HK
they are just pure parasite goo but sentient
who
what if gill invented the buster call
I wouldn't be shocked by it tbh
their dialog just sounds not human thats all i got from it
also facial expressions
Hellooodheuwvennagysbsv
Nah gang I deleted it out of shame
I always thought they were at very least "possessed by the Zoans will" ever since Saturns arrival on Egghead, its just the way he talked about setting foot on land after summoning himself
the cold truth about this chapter is that oda HAD to make reversi easier to beat or else hajrudin and co would do literall nothing the whole arc
Me in high school when acid spilled on my hand and I told my classmates “focus on finishing the experiment”
yeah i think the scars alone is enough
they got converted after they got it
Gilbert Arenas
the former HK into gorosei really fits now
or they where special warriors from old days that imu captured or fooled into joining
Venus calls living things”bio-forms” and called their Voices “bio-signals”
In Egghead
+imu can rewrite memories
Part of me wants to say this is from a previous user of Puddings fruit
reminds me of BB multiple DF is a cheap copy of imu
same with doffy wanting to be immortal
doffy is like a imu wannabe but he is much cooler
but oda did say DFs power can overlap sometimes
similar stuff
he also said DFs varies between user personalities
Well moreso just how you use it
But some are so straightforward there really isnt any other way to go about it lol
Like machvise and the lady in baroque works
whats going on gng?
that fits with what i said before that sugars df iirc is named
hobby hobby fruit ye?
Yeah, can't imagine someone using the Jacket Jacket fruit differently
Every time I see the name Machvise I can only think of his tail that I didn't know existed for like a decade
yo unc kierran
tail?
so it would depend on the users hobby it just turn out sugar loves toys
so it could be hobby about pets = zunesha
remb me?

nah
No 
Yeah, he has a tail
wtf
dude we had a fricking arguement about robin's laugh unc kerran
more new fresh accnt
remb me?
uhhhhhh yeh technically
it wasnt an arguement
anyways what going on chat gng
someone upd me
latest chapter 
are you socrates
Implying the first thing socrates does wouldnt be glazing loki
Yeah no way its Socrates
Maybe it's evil buggy
did evil buggy got banned or something, I havent seen him in a while
Oh yeah ig this chapter killed the Killingham is a Fishman theory
or confirmed it
Idk this doesn't give off "same race as me" vibes
oda hates fishmen why would anyone think that
Im ruling out uncle ruckus theory because even if killingham had no choice but to be a fishman
The other cds would damn sure look down on him
And the hks treat him as a comrade
I bet the Fishman racism comes from them evolving to be able to live underwater
no its because they're stupid fish
Especially with Imu seemingly wanting to flood the world, "how dare these insects evolve to live in my world" type shit
does loki have the most depressing backstory so far
Loki's is up there
was born
mom tried to kill him
unc abused him
dad too busy
found step mom that loves him
stepmom got killed for shitty reasons
forced to kill dad
that dont compare to robin man
Idol got killed by WG too
Op characters competing for who had the worst coming up
wait yeah
oh and lola denied him

oda is so fucked doing this to 1 character
got stabbed by 3 headed sword dog while chained
Nice
that must be some insane tech they have if they can carefully check each vote if its sus
Mother tossed him off the tree
Uncle abused him
Father was barely around
Idol died
Became close with Ida
Starts to consider Ida his mother
Ida gets poisoned
He kills the people who poisoned her & their village
In Jail while Ida dies
Finally gets out
Father dies by his hands due to Imu
Escapes to sea
Denied by Lola
Random Red haired fuck shows up, beats you & brings you back to Elbaf
Chained up for 6 years
Random Red haired fuck shows up with his gf
They beat you & stab you
oda really wants us to feel bad/like loki
thats his only solution
sob story = loved character
It probably meant nothing overall tbh
Compared to everything else that is
Whats crazy about this is that Loki remembers Estrid throwing him off the tree
Harald when talking to Loki told him that imu was gaining back control so to hurry up and kill him and as he said it , Oda focused on the mark coming back …
Shanks also mentioned the same thing to Gaban
since the mark is what gives you the new abilities and it seems being destroyed can remove those new abilites
Shanks needed a sea king's help to remove his mark
Still coming to the realization that we just got Franky buffs
Didnt even get foreshadowed, just dropped on us
my theory is that Mihawk is the same and that's why he wants somebody to succeed him as the world's greatest swordsman
so they can cut his sword arm off, and rid him of the mark
I forgive you for the Nami SBS Oda (50%)
wonder how big the buff is
can franky beat a commander now
he was beating sasaki in wano, so maybe if its a big enough buff he could fight someone like jack, I do still doubt hes winning tho
We could take him doing an attack side by side with Jinbe very literally
As the best case scenario
The only correct choice
kuzan level
Franky is planetary level
not sure how much i like this explanation for death returning them to normal
yeah i remember this
but what about sommers getting obliterated
did he also snap out of it?
will have to see more of it
i was totally sure that loki would use conquerors haki and force it out of them or something lol
🤷♀️ it's the best way i can think of to tie Zoro's fight with Mihawk into the greater plot
thats like laughtale arc that duel
or before laughtale when all 4 emperors clash or most of em
maybe. i just think that Mihawk is almost certainly from a celestial dragon lineage but resents it much like Shanks
@prisma yacht
Franky does deserve a vote
Franky has been tied for the best SH like since thriller bark
Rip
My queen
Since post water 7*
I think he can, Oda putting him doing an attack with Jinbe should be very telling
You see LA Brook?
I mean I wouldnt assume thta means hes actually equal to jinbe + who knows if theres any drawbacks to this, but I could see it
yeah I saw all 3 pixels of that photo of him
Lmaooo still crazy Easter egg imo
I'm cautiously optimistic, the only thing they could fk up is the yohoho
but that's also a dub thing I guess
Yea the laugh is the only thing I'm anxious to hear
Other than that I have no notes
I don't think LA Luffy laughs with shishishi
or did he?
i forget
so it's possible they don't do Brook's laugh
Lmaooo everyones aura farming and then Doc Q is just dying
I'm 90% sure there was at least one anime laugh the la adapted, but I can't remember
but yeah maybe he won't even yohoho at all
that would be even sadder
I wonder if they would adapt his panty gag if it got that far?
Or do they think a less hardcore LA audience would be turned off by that?
If they keep it then the LA deserves an Oscar
He's going to ask for your shoes instead
so far Sanji has been toned down, but we haven't had him too long, things might change
"hmm panty obsessed brook might be too much for the mainstream audience. oh wait, I know, let's give him a foot fetish instead"
"m'lady, my I take a gander at your piggly wigglies?"
Sanji vs Gunko would be interesting
Do you mean live action, 'cause that's what I'm talking about.
No, I was just thinking
LA Sanji is awesome
Oh btw, I saw a comment yesterday asking about Rocks' family. What happened to them on God Valley?
btw where brook anyway, 3 chapters and no sign of him 
oh damn your btw was first 
He's more of a womanizing charmer than the deviant of the manga
wait hey yeah, if they were domi reversi'd and died? 
Imu crushed him
he died for good this time, sadly
ah just throw a bottle of milk at him
how can Brook have died when he's already dead
make it lilith super milk at that
Why he do my boy doc Q like that
he'll be fine
Usopp has nothing to do
Rocks makes sense 'cause i'm sure Roger and Garp used their combined haki to undo the domi before Garling killed him. but the family i don't know.
I think they did that by killing him
There’s gonna be a future development where we find out kuma saved more Davy clan that we realized

I'm pretty sure bb will be the last one
you mean like the haki killed him right? and thus undid the spell?
then garling kills him truly?
It makes him unique
Well with this whole DR stuff , it’s not a definite thing anymore
The possibility now exists
well the island sank afterwards right? depending on how quick they recovered from the DR, maybe they could have got off/got to Kuma in time
i think the whole domi reversi thing is a little boring for me, but we'll see what oda does with it. not like haki by itself would've been much better (but we already have haki being used at least once to un-domi reversi rocks).
You sound like shuron and his xebec is alive theory
ah, god and there's a break too
That’s why I think with this recent development that chance now exists , they could’ve been one of the many kuma offscreen saved
And we just don’t know yet
but at least Franky finally got his upgrade. though I can't tell if him being compared to a pacifista this late in the game is a compliment or not
but they'd have to recover before Rocks made it to Eris for the Kuma part at least
though ig Kuma could have just come across them on the floor
Nah I think xebec is dead dead fr fr
At least
who killed them to undo the domi reversi?
Rocks
^
did we see it?
Nooo not Shuron
or we just have to assume?
Say it aint so
kinda
ah ok
i know he said something about coming after his family but i don't remember what else EDIT: like he was telling garling that he made a mistake doing that
the haki thing was used cause domi reversi xebec protected himself with coc haki so they need to use it to be able kill him, it was never stated that haki was need to kill a dr
Yeah now it’s clear
It just depends who gets DR’d
Any main character who’s not fodder would need haki
haki is clearly not needed, a simple beheading works. but for someone as strong as rocks it was needed i guess
I'm assuming that Garling killed them before he DR'ed them
That’s possible too
so sad
Still a higher chance they died one way or another
There’s just this small chance kuma could’ve saved 1 or 2 more than thought
Who knows now
oh, i'm so glad Franky reminded us that Lilith is still carrying around that coffin. so not only did it still contain the new body of the Stella, but also random plot-relevant sci-fi shit. muh goda.
If they were alive they died when the island sank anyway
and i think it's hilarious that Kuma is still just kind of clinging to life somewhere on elbaf
while bonney is just hanging with her cool uncle and aunt
or is lilith technically an uncle?
https://x.com/Blackbeard_Goat/status/2029671669954978073?s=20 Oda is getting cooked on Twitter (for the 11th time)
I think its cute how Bonney is hanging with him because he's the closest thing to her father
They didn’t think they’d be caught in the middle of a terrorist attack
and she hung around Robin like a mother figure. What did Oda mean by this?????
This chapter is more controversial than bonney nika imo
I havent seen this much hate since that chapter
this is their 9/11
average lame fakeout death from oda
We all know Frobin is real deep down 
idk why this chapter is getting hate
I didn't think the chapter was that bad
For not good reasons as usual
good chapter was in fact a good chapter
True! I would have said too soon 10 years ago!
that chapter was decent but nothing to call home about besides Franky really.
really? I feel like I saw more hate for that chapter than this one
DR
It’s just a plot development chapter
Plot needs to move forward
And then i had to read a comment to realize the whole books burning situation is eerily similar to ohara. !patterns
I didnt even expect them to die, I thought their heads were going to regenerate
People said this chapter is miles worse than that one
i agree
earlier
ehh i dont like it but its also better than having Conq be the answer
nothing to hate about though imo
People still using Twitter on this day and age are cooked anyway
Find other people
They’re cooked here too
