[keen quiver]

Imu was an obstacle to their birthright

[stone tulip]

The way this unironically true 😭

[thick mango]

i dont think he sees it like that

i dont think hes doing it for anyone else

or to honor anyone else

i think its just the pinnacle of his conception of freedom to be king of the world

[blazing depot]

Whenever I’m about to lose to Bluko in an argument I remind her that her ships are bullshit

[keen quiver]

I'm literally saying he's using the plan to make himself king for selfish reasons

Wanting to be king of the world is selfish

[thick mango]

then yeah we're on the same page

[keen quiver]

Hes pursuing his own freedom

[stone tulip]

Dang hit it where it hurts the most huh 😭

[keen quiver]

He doesnt care how it affects others

[thick mango]

im just saying its not about revenge for the father or a duty as a davy or anything like that. Its all about hsi own selfish goals

[keen quiver]

Rocks was also selfish

Same as davy jones

[thick mango]

he was less selfish

[rich hornet]

I’m guessing Eris is the one who pressured Teech to board the moby dick

[thick mango]

he went to god valley knowing he was probably gonna die

[keen quiver]

Davy jones is so greedy peoppe still remember that

To this day

[stone tulip]

Or maybe she is dead too

[grand flower]

Tbf that could be a selfish motivation

Like Blackbeard doesn’t care who he has to cross and kill and rob and do dirty

[thick mango]

3 possibilities with eris

1. she sent teach on his quest
2. she died
3. she lived but bb abandoned her.
   I prefer 3 > 2 > 1

[grand flower]

He’s on a crusade for the Davy

[thick mango]

i think hes on a crusade for himself

[grand flower]

Those aren’t mutually exclusive

[thick mango]

but theres not really enough to know yet this is all pretty speculative

[rich hornet]

But where does a kid get that kind of conviction

[grand flower]

Eris could have told him about the Davys history and that in itself could have inflated his head into believing this is all meant for him

Blackbeard being motivated by his lineage is already likely

[thick mango]

i jus tthink it would be very nice for bb's character if eris didnt send him on any sort of davy revenge quest, she just wanted him to have a safe normal happy life and he rejected that

[grand flower]

Devon mentioned it to Saturn

It’s not irrelevant to him

[thick mango]

in a world where so many people lose loving parents, it would be perfect for bb to throw away a loving mother

[grand flower]

His ship is named after rocks too

[vernal ravine]

actually, teach selfishness is what will push him further than his father

[grand flower]

Can’t do nothing but get ready for it now

[grand flower]

Yeah I agree

He and rocks are on the same crusade

But teach has his own methods

And he’s much more heartless about it

I can see that easy

[rich hornet]

Kid Teech is always depicted as kind of pathetic. Him having a loving parent and willingly giving it up feels like the least likely thing.

He could be. A legitimate orphan

[thick mango]

we've only got like 2 panels i think its hard to say

i wont lie when it comes to really speculative territory like that im reverse engineering endings i think would be good

and i think it would be good for bb's character to have abandoned his mother and killed his adoptive father. To throw away love and family in a pursuit of power

bb killing thatch and whitebeard is maybe the most heartless thing in the entire story

[dense haven]

after bb gets mogged the rocks comparisons would never end

[vernal ravine]

im curious to know if teach actually love his father even with that named ship, actually it would be a good plot twist if he actually hates him somehow

[rich hornet]

Either way it plays out, BB didn’t figure out his whole plan from nothing, he must have gotten some info from his mom. And from what we see of Eris, she is fully on board the Davy crusade. I don’t think she gave it up to give Teach a happy life. I think she would double down

[still mason]

I see this and it doesn't make me think he abandoned his mother

[thick mango]

maybe i just dont think thats very much to draw conclusions from

[soft tangle]

He knows what he must do.

[thick mango]

he definitely thinks of him at least somewhat to have named his ship after him

but bb is clearly willing to go further, do worse, to achieve his goals than rocks was

[rich hornet]

They share a goal

[woven talon]

voted jinbe today

[dense haven]

rocks would be disappointed with him

[thick mango]

wouldnt it be nice for rocks to have forfeited his goals for his family and for bb to forfeit his family for his goals. He already kinda has with wb even if theres nothing with eris

[dense haven]

rocks didn't forfeit his goals

he couldn't have done anything anyway

[rich hornet]

I agree with this, but for me betraying Ace thatch and Newgate works enough on its own

[thick mango]

he had a feeling he was doomed going into god valley but went anyway because saving his family was more important

[grand flower]

He could have forsaken them to continue his plan/journey

Rocks even said he felt like he was gonna die

He made a choice

[woven talon]

Oda tends to depict greatness in a specific way. I think even if he wanted to live a quiet life, Oda wouldn't have a character like Rocks back down from his goal.

[vernal ravine]

obviously he has at least respect for him but i don't think he is acting in revenge for rocks

[woven talon]

The point of the flashback was to contrast two friends who are torn apart due to their steadfastness in their beliefs and willingness to sacrifice anything to their ends

[blazing depot]

I remember a few months ago people were swearing Teach killed his mom

Like this ain’t the look of a killer

[thick mango]

yeah i agree. i would be disappoitned if revenge for rocks or davy turns out to be his primary motivation

[woven talon]

The only real diffrence between Haralad and Rocks is one had more understanding of what the World Government was.

[grand flower]

Rocks challenging Imu on Me Valley while knowing he wasn’t ready

Rocks choosing to go help his family even though he felt like he was gonna die

[blazing depot]

Also I think it’s a good rule of thumb that villains who aren’t insanely evil still love their moms

[grand flower]

That’s rocks choosing his family over his goals

In a way, he gave them up

Rocks knew he was fucked

[rich hornet]

Fulfilling rock’s dream also comes with immense personal power. Who can say if it’s rooted in reverence or greed?

[still mason]

That's what I'm saying

I don't know where the theory comes from

BB slander

[grand flower]

Eris was probably killed

[vernal ravine]

maybe as a kid he was influenced by his mother with the idea of ​​avenging the deth of rocks and the davys, but over time he ended up becoming a purely selfish person

[vital heart]

GUYS I GOT 1177 LEAKS

WHO WANNA SEE

is what id say if i got 1177 leaks

[woven talon]

BB is the dark timeline Luffy I think. Their dads were both revolutionaries (in a sense). Both had clearly lonely early childhoods, both were inspired to go to sea and pursue a more appealing and fun life. I think the largest diffrence is Luffy's dad is alive and Luffy really couldn't care less about the dad he never had because he found another dad in Shanks. BB was already too far into his obsession by the time WB picked him up. He was already plotting. I think if I had to guess, BB feels his dad had the right goal, but he didn't go far enough, that he compromised too much. Rocks and co were clearly strong enough to force Harald to go along with them. Oda shows the scene where we see Rocks punch out Kaido for suggesting that. BB wouldn't let the happiness and safety of a friend stop him. BB doesn't have friends. He has whims and desires and tools to reach them.

[hot cairn]

Elbaph is getting dragged on twitter dang

https://x.com/TheHiddenlsland/status/2029925337824645423?s=20

Hidden (@TheHiddenlsland)

So are we ready to admit this arc is bad or do you guys still need another few weeks? #ONEPIECE1176

X · Mar 6, 2026, 2:21 PM

even youtubers are hating on it

[woven talon]

all i've seen on twitter today is YuGiOh being used as war propaganda

[thick mango]

i dont respect the opinion of anyone i cant back and forth with to understand why they think that way

[woven talon]

I'd trade places and see your twitter any day

[hot cairn]

tf

[woven talon]

my feed seems less wholesome

[vital heart]

I deleted twitter in january

Best decision to date.

[hot cairn]

you dont like elbaph?

[thick mango]

elbaf is alright

[vital heart]

btw chapter 1178 we see domi reversi loki

[thick mango]

i prefer egghead

[formal wagon]

elbarf

so they say

[vital heart]

If Im wrong then Feeso can lace fentanyl in my next meal

[woven talon]

I don't think we can talk about politics

[thick mango]

the two cutaway sections of egghead are maybe the best sequence of chapters in the story

[rich hornet]

Egghead was so good

[hot cairn]

egghead was peak, but elbaph is pretty good so far

[urban lodge]

Egghead cutaways were a legendary weekly experience

[hot cairn]

it's not as entertaining weekly as egghead tho

[honest garden]

But I'm really interested how they're connected!

[urban lodge]

The fact that it started with 1079

[woven talon]

Ebaf is great. I think Egghead was better tho

[vital heart]

@woven talon

[rich hornet]

Elbaph has high highs and still has a chance to stick the landing

[hot cairn]

that run from 1079 to 1088 was pure ecstacy

[rich hornet]

Egghead was more consistently good

[woven talon]

okay I got a mod saying they're intrested lol

[honest garden]

Elbaf just needs a big battle I think

[woven talon]

not my fault

[urban lodge]

Those hachinosu chapters are some of my favorite in the series

[hot cairn]

I agree

eghead was just so fun weekly

[honest garden]

I'll delete it afterwards, nobody tell anyone else!

Lol

[rich hornet]

It doesn’t even make sense

[hot cairn]

I think I agree

[honest garden]

Now that I've seen it and read it nobody else is allowed.

[woven talon]

there now you know lol

[honest garden]

Thank you feeso

[vernal ravine]

i very much agree, taking about it i really like this panel cause ironically, the reason rocks' dream ended was also his love for his family, which further highlights the parallel between rocks and harald

[hot cairn]

although I get the complaints some people here have with egghead

but I still think it's good

[vernal ravine]

peak flashback don't care what anyone says

[urban lodge]

I don't really think Egghead had any real lows, the closest thing was the VP speech but that was only rough weekly

[hot cairn]

I hope we get more stuff like that after this arc, I really thought cutaways were going to be the usual going foward but we've had 0 in Elbaph

[urban lodge]

Going by the jump festa message from 2 years ago they should happen at some point

[hot cairn]

the speech just had too many breaks

[rich hornet]

Egghead has been the best weekly experience since I caught up in PH

[hot cairn]

rereading it in a binge was peak

[urban lodge]

I didn't even mind it weekly

[hot cairn]

I guess

[hot cairn]

it just had so much stuff going on

I wouldnt say Elbaph is bad tho

[rich hornet]

I wouldn’t either

It’s been a little weird I guess

[vernal ravine]

that streak of chapters outside of egghead with kid garp reverie, you just have to be there

[formal wagon]

what if i wasn't there

will i be okay

whats going to happen to me

[hot cairn]

this is going to sound very stupid but I think it's just because the stakes in Elbaph arent as world ending as they were in Egghead

[hot cairn]

but you were here tho

[formal wagon]

this is going to sound very smart but i think this isn't the real saul. he was replaced by a clone

[hot cairn]

I remember

[formal wagon]

oh yeah

phew

[urban lodge]

I think it's been really good for the most part, it's only the flashback that I have some issues with

[formal wagon]

fraud valley more like

[dense haven]

dog valley

[thick mango]

I didn't like the resolution to reversi this chapter but it's not over yet so maybe it'll change my mind in the future

[dawn gazelle]

i believe that loki isgoing to get domi and thats going to raise the stakes much

[dense haven]

I warned everyone we should've skipped elbaf

[urban lodge]

I'm not a fan either but like Shuron said they're probably getting reversi'd again anyway so I'll hold judgement

[ashen rose]

They don't die so permanently so no stakes there

But it'd be a cool thing tbh

[hot cairn]

cmon now, the arc isnt bad at all

[thick mango]

I don't think that solution would really fix it for me that's still just collapsing into endless fighting which is lame imo

[hot cairn]

I can see it happening

[ashen rose]

Loki vs everyone

Literal bossfight

[urban lodge]

I think my favorite thing about Elbaf is the cast, it's one of the best we've had

[hot cairn]

yeah the cast is pretty good

[ashen rose]

Yeah, Loki and Ida are amazing

[hot cairn]

better than Egghead's I would say

[dense haven]

loki carrying the arc

[formal wagon]

best cast we had was drum

[austere flint]

True

[dawn gazelle]

yeah but defeating him will take tremendous effort and i believe Jarul is going to be killed by Loki and Hajrudin inherits his fathers sword.. are some thing i think could happen

[formal wagon]

glad you agree

[ashen rose]

Cold ass flashback, cold ass intro, cold ass (he's been sitting in the snow for years)

[formal wagon]

noland flashback soon anyhow

[ashen rose]

"jarul is going to be kil-"

This is one piece bro

[urban lodge]

Hajrudin gotta get that sword somehow

[ashen rose]

Connection to usopp in some way

[vernal ravine]

add gaban rocks and harald even ripley why not, all in the same arc

[ashen rose]

Unless he becomes bigger then the sun realm, I doubt it

[vernal ravine]

elbaph is very good you just have recency bias

[formal wagon]

true

[ashen rose]

Yeah I was making a joke but it's true, rocks elevated this arc to a new level

[dawn gazelle]

sure then Chopper clutches with a medical miracle after the sword is removed

[urban lodge]

He can be like that Nuts guy from that one manga

[formal wagon]

if elbaf goes the way i concieved 30 chapters ago it will be the best arc since egghead

[ashen rose]

I think you mean cluts

[formal wagon]

and i dont say that lightly.

[hot cairn]

wouldnt it be the opposite of recency bias if you dislike elbaph

[hot cairn]

in what way did you concieved it?

[ashen rose]

"it's qualityslop, you only like it because it's good"

[ashen rose]

"IT'S AN ARC CONGRATULATIONS"

[hot cairn]

what the hell is qualityslop

[vernal ravine]

some people are starting to hate the arc for the latest chapters so i guess no

[ashen rose]

Some mf on 4chan posted this basically

[formal wagon]

noland flashback -> brook dies -> usopp dies -> eustass comes back -> sanji dies -> chopper awakens -> imu dies -> brook comes back - usopp lied about his death -> loki lied about his life so he dies -> rocks comes back -> sanji dies -> loki/ lola flashback -> usopp lies loki back to life in an emotional climax to the elbaf saga

[hot cairn]

the latest chapters have been just plot progression chapters, it's very normal for one piece

[dawn gazelle]

ah peak one piece

[hot cairn]

some people arent built for the weekly expirience I guess

[formal wagon]

-> "we're off to the land of my dreams, VIRA!!!"

[ashen rose]

Holy

[ashen perch]

The recency bias effect still exists if the most recent experiences have been unpleasant, they override what should be usually fresh in the minds of the fanbase. I like to refer it to as part of the collective amnesia that the fanbase suffers from.

[hot cairn]

but I understand coming after egghead's

[dense rapids]

Imu will summon the holy knights to repeat God Valley as he takes over Gunko

[hot cairn]

I see

[formal wagon]

she bias on my recency till i WT100 2026 top 20 characters

[ashen perch]

Mailbox why do you exist

[formal wagon]

why do you exist

[hot cairn]

ngl I dont get what you mean. Are you saying that they view the lastest thing as bad because the completely forget about previous chapters?

[ashen perch]

No you can no you me

Cant

[formal wagon]

she bias on my recency till i WT100 2025 top 20 characters

[ruby moat]

Vira vs Yano who wins

[formal wagon]

*2026

[urban lodge]

Yano

[formal wagon]

.......,,,,,,,......

a thousand curses

[ruby moat]

Ok, now with no heals in between rounds

[formal wagon]

a thousand curses

[hot cairn]

Elbaph is a good arc, is it the best in the final saga? Um debatable

[formal wagon]

do they have lucio speedboost or a mercy pocket?

[urban lodge]

Yano is just funnier I'm sorry

[ashen perch]

No, I mean they start to have an overall negative opinion of the arc because of some unpleasant recent chapters. Its the amnesia problem.

[formal wagon]

yano is an industry plant

[ruby moat]

Pocket rocket

[formal wagon]

huh

[ruby moat]

(Raccoon)

[ashen perch]

Not that I would even agree that the recent chapters have been that

[formal wagon]

huh

[ashen perch]

I have liked them

[hot cairn]

ah I see

[hot cairn]

they're fine

[formal wagon]

last two chapters were fire

[vernal ravine]

i hope elbaph isn't the best arc in the finl saga

[snow locust]

What’s the beginning point of the “final saga”?

[hot cairn]

Egghead

[hot cairn]

me neither LOL

[ruby moat]

Elbaf will officially be the best final saga arc once usopps moment happens but until then it sucks

[dense haven]

wym recent its been like that since legoland

[thick mango]

elbaf is mid imo. And i dont mean that like bad like some people do i mean literally mid

[dense haven]

arsal talking like he also wasn't dragging elbaf thru the mud

[ashen perch]

Well you can mark it as the best already then cause its happening

[hot cairn]

I think the only "peak" chapters we've had since the flashback ended was 1171 and 1175

[snow locust]

I'd have to reread Elbaf from the beginning but I'd say I probably? liked Egghead more

[formal wagon]

arsal talking like

[hot cairn]

I like Egghead more too

so far

[formal wagon]

egghead has lucci

so..................

[ruby moat]

He could show up to Elbaf

[hot cairn]

you mean like "meh"

[ruby moat]

Arcs not over 🗣️

[ashen perch]

Yes because people are very reactionary

[thick mango]

no. I mostly like one piece and its about par for one piece. So thats pretty good

[hot cairn]

mmm I think I know what you mean

[formal wagon]

this genuinely actually for real /unsilly made me feel hope in my heart for a brief moment not kidding actually illicited a real emotion from me objectively

[ashen perch]

I never did, I only said that the HKs didn't feel like arc antagonists to me and then Oda answered it with Imu, instantly resolving my one singular issue

[sturdy steeple]

I do think Elbaf is the arc where fans have to lower their expectations.

[hot cairn]

wdym

[formal wagon]

elbaf is just vira set up

objectively

[ruby moat]

I’m glad I could make you feel again

[hot cairn]

early elbaph was pure GAS

[dense haven]

how dare the fans expect good arcs

[ashen perch]

I have no clue what this even means

[sturdy steeple]

Oda sets up a lot of things that the fans are excited about and the result is... Debatable.

[ashen perch]

Wrong booo shh silence

[royal orchid]

hello also manga

[dawn gazelle]

ending will also be im excited on whats there over in heavan realm

[ashen perch]

Raise your expectations

[ruby moat]

The legoland shit had me going bonkers I was willing to become odas slave if all of Elbaf was Lego

[formal wagon]

i had so much fun spamming "elbaf fell off" when it was still a ridiculous take in those first 10ish chapters

[sturdy steeple]

Ayyy listen I'm raising my expectations only about certain characters that I know will deliver

[hot cairn]

like what?

[sturdy steeple]

But for others it's not like that

[royal orchid]

also manga is saying elbaf fell off

[hot cairn]

I want to see what's up there too

[formal wagon]

its an anti joke. it doesnt mean anything and is supposed to be stupid

[hot cairn]

LOL

[formal wagon]

im so mad

[sturdy steeple]

Dude, really? Like the Rocks flashback, God Valley, the domi-reversi solution, Usopp (so far)

[formal wagon]

im fuming

[sturdy steeple]

Etc etc etc

[dawn gazelle]

tf was this shapeshifting cat?

[royal orchid]

arsal looks like if a man and a woman had a child

[hot cairn]

now you can say it and some people will agree

[ashen perch]

That probably means something

[hot cairn]

ah

yeah God Valley was kinda disappointing to me

[formal wagon]

https://tenor.com/view/quagsire-blink-blinking-gif-25635243

[hot cairn]

I still believe in Usopp tho

[royal orchid]

I thought elbaf would have fights and not just clashes

[sturdy steeple]

Like at this point you kinda have to lower your expectations because Oda likes to take simple routes.

[formal wagon]

hi meeks

[hot cairn]

that's on you then, flashbacks have never had full fights

[formal wagon]

hi meeks i noticed no one greeted you so im rectifying that

[ashen perch]

Buddy you're ending the arc in 20 chapters, how are you fitting in all this.

[royal orchid]

well but it was God Valley™

[formal wagon]

i forgot to add the second part after the hi meeks part

[royal orchid]

big fight: the arc

[formal wagon]

WOW nonachalantly leaning back. now im even madder

[hot cairn]

I do think Egghead > Elbaph AS OF TODAY

[royal orchid]

[urban lodge]

I don't believe in Usopp and that's good because anything he does get will be a pleasant surprise

[formal wagon]

golly darn

[hot cairn]

that can change depending on the climax

[formal wagon]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[sturdy steeple]

One has to wonder if Oda is deliberately having Usopp do nothing at the moment.

[hot cairn]

his moment can happen in one chapter I feel like

I think you need to be ready for the arc potenitally ending in 20 chapters arsal

that way you wont be that disappointed

[formal wagon]

anyway, you guys think we're gonna see the egghead timeskip anytime soon :D :D :D : D

[sturdy steeple]

I only wish Usopp fans the best tbh

[ruby moat]

Return to Wano next arc

[hot cairn]

still a flashback

[dawn gazelle]

he is and it really is obvious and defintely payoff in a grand way

[hot cairn]

yeah, shocking

[formal wagon]

i would cry in real life

[formal wagon]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[ruby moat]

What if vira was after return to Wano tho

[royal orchid]

yamato flashback will go CRAZY

[ruby moat]

But the only way to get there is to return to Wano

[royal orchid]

Yamato flashback (3)*

[formal wagon]

internal conflict would make me go insane in real life

[ruby moat]

There’s a secret lever that needs to be pulled to open the gate to vira and it’s only found in Wano

[sturdy steeple]

I know he's gonna get something regardless but it doesn't feel good to see the character being neglected. He can still do stuff outside of his big moments. So that grand moment in the future has to be reallyyyyy big to compensate for that.

[ashen perch]

I just dont like this mindset, ngl. There's "don't expect too much" and there's "expect virtually nothing" and that is what most of these takes fall into. No I won't be keeping my expectations lower than the abyss

[sturdy steeple]

This guy is gonna say "Oda sucks" at the end

Trust me

[grand flower]

Kid returns in 2 chapters

here's the proof

[sturdy steeple]

God I hope so

[vernal ravine]

with the same number of chapters we have in elbaph at this point in wano we weren't even in onigashima

[hot cairn]

expecting 20 chapters left falls under the "dont expect too much". It's like in Wano when you kept saying we would hit 200 chapters, doesnt it feel like that to you?

[formal wagon]

hooray

gee golly thats great news frankly

[hot cairn]

who, arsal?

[ashen perch]

200 was the upper limit, i was completely right on how long Wano was going to be, 150 chapters.

[dawn gazelle]

i shared my theory of Loki being reversied, and i think uspp's big moment comes when he lifts the Ragnir to protect the Giants from Loki

[sturdy steeple]

Dude I think you really need to work on context clues
Yes, Arsal

[hot cairn]

yeah I'm kinda slow

my bad

[ashen perch]

Sorry, won't change anything that I'm saying here

[formal wagon]

insane fold

[sturdy steeple]

That's even worse

[hot cairn]

right

[ashen perch]

Its a miserable way of experiencing the series, that is why I dislike the mindset

[sturdy steeple]

Also, to each their own.

[ashen perch]

Perpetual downer, doommaxxing

[formal wagon]

keeping expectations at the ground is sad actually i agree with arsal

thats not fun

[hot cairn]

saying the arc can end in 20 chapters aint "doommaxxing"

[ashen perch]

I was moreso thinking of the Usopp thing you said Jesus

[hot cairn]

hey, I'll gladly take the L if you're right about 100 elbaph chapters

[sturdy steeple]

It's also miserable to expect things end on the high note only to be left unsatisfied.

[ashen perch]

That his big time to shine is just one thing in one chapter

[urban lodge]

I don't think it's even possible to satisfyingly wrap it up in 20 chapters

[ornate tartan]

if it doesn’t end within 25 chapters I will be shocked

[sturdy steeple]

Like it's not a big deal. People should just chill out a bit.

[ashen perch]

Not at all

[vernal ravine]

i don't see usopp using ragnir as a ir fairly expectation right now feels more like a wet dream

[prisma idol]

Arsal you expect things to go bad again correct?

[sturdy steeple]

Not at all what? Are you speaking on the behalf of everyone?

[hot cairn]

I want more, but unlike other arcs Usopp hasnt really had much set up for stuff here besides perhaps one moment

[ashen perch]

Ofc

[prisma idol]

Like a roller-coaster up and down, where everything is currently going too well there will be a downturn

[sturdy steeple]

Isn't that obvious though

[formal wagon]

domi reversi'd eustass will kill a strawhat probably

[sturdy steeple]

Otherwise Imu won't really seem like a threat

[ruby moat]

Rip robin 😔

[ornate tartan]

final arc sagas not named the final war or laughtale won’t reach the 100 chapter threshold

[formal wagon]

hopefully the captain guy but anyone works

[prisma idol]

There are a lot of people who do not think there will be a downturn

[ashen perch]

On my behalf. I'll be having fun on the journey towards the end, maybe the end won't be exactly what I wanted, maybe I'll be disappointed but I wouldn't be reaching it miserably lol

[formal wagon]

in the end her haircut killed her...

[ruby moat]

Good Dsmn bangs

[prisma idol]

That with everything going well the arc is going to end sooner rather than later

[ornate tartan]

oh boy😂 it’s coming

[ruby moat]

Holy typos

[sturdy steeple]

I guess it depends on interpretation.

[formal wagon]

this is referencing the ognib board

[prisma idol]

Imu hasnt locked in yet

@ashen perch

When Kid attacks Shanks’ fleet at Elbaf, Shanks has 9 ships present and 9 officers in his main crew.

When depicting the Kid Pirates in the SBS, Oda reveals that there are 31 members total but he only draws 22 of them; 9 ard omitted.

Kid is defeated at Elbaf which contains Yggdrasil; Yggdrasil is connected to 9 Realms in the Norse myth. 9 is also featured prominently in the Norse myth: with Thor taking 9 steps backwards before dying to the Jormungandr’s venom. Odin is hung for 9 days and 9 nights from Yggdrasil when sacrificing himself to himself. Odin’s ring makes 8 new copies every 9 nights, bringing the rings to a set of 9 each time. Heimdall has 9 mothers, Aegir has 9 daughters. I also saw something saying Frigg mourns Baldur for 9 days; these are the result of the number 9 being used for “many” or to indicate “a complete set of,” it appears.

But there’s also Kid’s secondary Jolly Roger, a Glasgow smile that contains 9 spikes. It also strongly resembles sun symbolism that’s been seen/associated with the Elbaf giants, who ofc worship the Sun God.

Speaking of the Sun God, Luffy has 9 officers just like Kid does. The bounty of Kid, Law and Luffy post-Wano was determined by combining Kaido’s and Big Mom’s into 9 billion then dividing it by 3. Kid’s very first bounty of 315,000,000 can be added up into 9

[ruby moat]

Do they think they’re gonna defeat imu here

[sturdy steeple]

But if it ends this way then Imu is ahem ahem washed.

[ruby moat]

Oh my

[ornate tartan]

there is absolutely no way something doesn’t flip within the next 2-3 chapters

[grand flower]

The cover of Chapter 1012 features Kid with an apron that contains the number “99.” It also curiously contains the text “3D” on it, which is evocative of the 3D2Y event from Sabaody that Kid’s defeat in Elbaf very blatantly mirrors. The metal bird that Kid creates bears the number 81; 8+1=9.

Kid also bears a tattoo in chapter 795 that resembles both the number 9 and a tattoo that one of the giants has in Egghead

Getting a bit silly now: Oda drew the Pokémon Meltan in Kid’s attacks in Wano, whose special ability is “magnet pull.” Meltan’s evolution Melmetal is Pokémon #809 and its ability is Iron Fist. Also if you put any stock into the “Kid is a Vegapunk” theory: Kid would be the 9th physical body to bear the name so to speak after Vegapunk, his 6 Satellites, and the Megapunk combination that’s created after the Egghead incident.

The last part isn’t that serous imo, but I do think that it’s curious that Kid has the number 9 pop up so much with him or can be derived from numbers associated with him; especially in relation to Shanks, Luffy and Elbaf.

@ashen perch

[ashen perch]

Oh wow

[ruby moat]

Oh my

[ashen perch]

X2

[prisma idol]

I havent heard that one YET but I wouldnt be surprised if some people do

[grand flower]

Who told you I was done?

[ruby moat]

I feel like ppl are forgetting that while things are going decent for our main characters, we still have the big bad of the whole series there, and theyve hardly interacted with the main characters at all

[ashen perch]

You'll have more. Trust

[sturdy steeple]

There's nothing miserable about keeping your expectation in check. It has nothing to do with doomposting.
Like personally I'm just chilling and enjoying things at a steady pace. I'm not complaining and folks shouldn't set themselves up for an enormous disappointment if something doesn't go their way.

[formal wagon]

can someone summarize this in 5 words

[grand flower]

1079+99=1178

[prisma idol]

I do think a lot of people are underestimating Imu because of the weakness of DR and the fact that the HKs honestly havent had the best showing + the Gorosei in egghead not handling that situation as well as some people wanted

[formal wagon]

fuck those are numbers

[sturdy steeple]

Because if you do so then Morj mentality happens

[grand flower]

Kid returns in 1178

[formal wagon]

thank you

[ashen perch]

1178, I'm sold

Its happening

[formal wagon]

wait....

WAIT

[prisma idol]

Kidd is at Mato's bar healing

[ruby moat]

Imu could easily wipe the whole crew here like things are definitely not won yet

[grand flower]

The apron really sells it

3D like 3D2Y and 99% for 99 chapters

[sturdy steeple]

Nice

[grand flower]

Thanks ya

[formal wagon]

what are the last two digits of the chapter that is ONE (ONE) single chapter AFTER 1178. What do those digits remind you of?????

100 chapters

[ruby moat]

67?

[hot cairn]

let's see

[formal wagon]

1079

the chapter of doom

[ruby moat]

Oh

[formal wagon]

where one piece went wrong

oda will fix it on 1179

[thick mango]

1079 was peak

[hot cairn]

I agree with this, this is how I view the story

[ashen perch]

6-7 chapters, you'll be seeing what I'm seeing

[hot cairn]

I'm just chilling

[ruby moat]

The day the music died

[hot cairn]

stop dropping these numbers on me

[thick mango]

1079 was good for kid

[hot cairn]

I'm not avery

[ashen perch]

Sorry can I not even say 6 and 7 anymore 😭

[hot cairn]

where'a avery btw, havent seen her in a while

[ashen perch]

I genuinely believe

[hot cairn]

no

[ashen perch]

It'll be clear in that amount of chapters

[formal wagon]

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah six seven 😂 okay arsal

sorry

[sturdy steeple]

I kinda like the idea of Kid and Luffy teaming up against domi-reversi Loki

[hot cairn]

me too

[formal wagon]

kid will just one shot him that would be boring

[thick mango]

i dont really feel like kid has any stakes in loki that would make that satisfying.

[sturdy steeple]

TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUE

[ashen perch]

Mailbox. Okay what do I even say that isnt in the automod list

[thick mango]

it would just be like a.. oh and kid is here too!

[ruby moat]

Kidd is one of those hooded figures in the underworld tjat were shown a total of one times

[formal wagon]

i said sorry

[sturdy steeple]

I mean that was kind of the gist with Law fighting against Big Mom

He was there to just accompany

[hot cairn]

what will happen in that amount of chapters

[ashen perch]

Oh that's okay then

[thick mango]

she was among the kaido forces that law had been allying with luffy since like dressrosa to take down

[sturdy steeple]

She wasn't among the Kaido forces.

She joined him at the very last minute.

[thick mango]

those statements contradict each other

she was among kaido'

s forces at the end when it mattered

she was one of many forces standing in the way of defeating kaido

[sturdy steeple]

Law had nothing really to do with Big Mom. I'm just drawing an example of people having to step up to accomplish something without being invested beforehand.

[grand flower]

Also inherited Rocks’ will

[thick mango]

law had to do with kaido and big mom had to do with kaido

[sturdy steeple]

What? What are you talking about?

[grand flower]

Law kidnapping Caesar also fucked with Big Moms stuff

[thick mango]

she wasnt among kaidos forces... she joined [kaido]

[sturdy steeple]

She wasn't among Kaido's forces at any point. She was his rival to begin with.

[grand flower]

And Law needed to get past Big Mom to get the info he needed for his goal

Kid sank her ships and robbed her people

That’s the background for them fighting her

[sturdy steeple]

That is true but he wasn't really that much of invested in fighting her. It's an example I'm giving to why Kid can safely fight Loki.

At this point of the story, you can just expect strong lads to join forces with other strong lads to defeat common enemies.

[hot cairn]

I reread WCI these last few days and I can see why people didnt want Law and Kid to win against BM

[sturdy steeple]

Loki being domi-reversi would mean hell for all lol

[hot cairn]

Luffy said he was coming back to defeat her like 5 times

[grand flower]

Just like Blackbeard, Kid’s initial bounty after the time skip says “ghost of Jonah”

Rocks/Davy would be the thread between kid and Loki

[hot cairn]

but I still her defeat in Wano still works

[grand flower]

Unless Loki has met kid while out at sea or something

Or kid knows giants

[ashen perch]

We'll be in volume 116 starting from 1178, that's when I believe Imu will start to become the focus. I think by the halfway point of the volume, i.e 7 ish chapters from now he'll have completely flipped back everything that we have seen resolved so far and won.

[grand flower]

Kid returning to start the volume

Haha

Yes!

[sturdy steeple]

I can dig that

Kid knew about the man marked by flames long before others

[thick mango]

how confident are you in 1178 kid? Would you wanna bet?

[grand flower]

Yeah let’s bet money

[ashen perch]

Yeah I can see that, would be a better volume ender though but 12 chapter volumes never happen

Well, they do but rarely

[formal wagon]

will we find out vegapunks family name is eustass?

this arc?

how many chapters till we get that reveal

[grand flower]

:0

[sturdy steeple]

Money? Only losers would bet money. Bet your lives.

[formal wagon]

@grand flower

[thick mango]

i wouldnt bet money but id bet money for charity

[formal wagon]

id bet money agaisnt a charity

[ashen perch]

I'm betting Meek's soul on this, Volume 116 is the Volume of Imu

[grand flower]

Okay let’s do that

You pick the charity if I win

Wait no

[thick mango]

yeah the other way lol

[grand flower]

Yeah

[ashen perch]

I think we also atleast get the start of Brook's 2nd flashback during this volume

But yea, 116, watch for it, significant number

[grand flower]

Bet I’m blaming you if I’m disappointed

[sturdy steeple]

Is it because of 16 being significant

[thick mango]

alright no specific # but loser gives a nonzero amount whatever

[hot cairn]

okay, we'll see what happens starting on 1178

that sounds good

[grand flower]

Bet I like this

[ashen perch]

Ofc

[hot cairn]

your ideas arent bad arsal I just feel like you overestimate oda a bit too much

[sturdy steeple]

Kid appears and we go on another break

[hot cairn]

sometimes

[sturdy steeple]

I would crashout ngl

[hot cairn]

I'll be glad to be wrong tho

[grand flower]

#also-manga message

#also-manga message

@hot cairn check this out

[ashen perch]

I'm not really, I think I'm just not underestimating lol

I'm right in the middle in fact, remember when I told y'all to not overhype yourself for God Valley...

Nobody listened smh

[grand flower]

My expectations were exceeded

[ashen perch]

I didn't and I think I ended up liking it more than most people tbh, especially the further we move on from it, the more I like it

[sturdy steeple]

But why would you say that, Arsal

Isn't that miserable......

[grand flower]

We got Garp, Kaido AND big mom haters eating shit

[trim lily]

the moral of the story is always set your expectations low so you’ll always be pleasantly surprised

[hot cairn]

I see you, so Kid is coming back on chapter 1179?

[grand flower]

1178
99 chapters after 1079

[ashen perch]

Miserable would be to say that it'd be terrible, never did that

[hot cairn]

oh that's soon

[ashen perch]

Very

[grand flower]

Just 3 more weeks

[ashen perch]

Wrong reply

[grand flower]

Nah right reply

[sturdy steeple]

Which I also didn't mean with my point so....

[formal wagon]

....

[ashen perch]

Keeper you said to keep your expectations low for Elbaf

[formal wagon]

elipses extension

[ashen perch]

I'm not sure how else to interpret it

[sturdy steeple]

I said to lower expectations

Which is fair

[trim lily]

…

[hot cairn]

this is what we were saying but Arsal says that's "doommaxxing"

and not enjoying the story

[ashen perch]

It is doommaxxing

[trim lily]

it is a little

[thick mango]

i think elbaf has a lot of good locked in already. Even fumbling the ending itd still end up at like B- at worst

[formal wagon]

double ellipses extension...!!!>>.....?

[trim lily]

but i think a little doomfisting here and there is fine

[sturdy steeple]

It's a decent arc

[sturdy steeple]

OW reference? Execute order 66

[trim lily]

[formal wagon]

W doomfist

[hot cairn]

it is a decent arc

[formal wagon]

i stopped playing him cause i forgot how to

[ashen perch]

Too early to tell...

[formal wagon]

what am i anymore

[trim lily]

he’ll come back as a dps in a year anywya

[hot cairn]

it's not better than egghead tho SO FAR

[formal wagon]

...

elipses extension

[thick mango]

egghead is really good thats a high ba r

[formal wagon]

thank me later

[thick mango]

egghead is like an A+, just short of S

[trim lily]

one could even say it’s a good arc

[formal wagon]

[sturdy steeple]

At the end of the day

[formal wagon]

dusk

[hot cairn]

I'm comparing it to the other final saga arc

[thick mango]

a few small changes and egghead might have been the best

[hot cairn]

you could say that

[sturdy steeple]

I'm saying simple things but I'm getting slapped with HYPOCRISY

[trim lily]

i had a horrendous weekly experience with egghead so elbaf has been better for me overall

[formal wagon]

last 8 chapters of egghead were so dooky fart

[ashen perch]

I have mostly liked what I have seen so far, but we're only 50% through with it. That's like judging Dressrosa before Luffy even confronted Doflamingo.

[hot cairn]

I think my weekly experience with elbaph has been worse than with egghead ngl

[sturdy steeple]

The first part of Egghead weekly wise was pretty fun

[trim lily]

for your sake arsal i kind of hope you end up being right

[sturdy steeple]

Elbaf is a curve

[trim lily]

you’re waging a lot on this arc going to like 110 chapters

[hot cairn]

but, what if we are 75% through it, what would be you opinion then?

[sturdy steeple]

I wasn't enjoying the Rocks portion that much and now it feels reeallyyyyyyyy long for some reason.

[ashen perch]

But we're not

[hot cairn]

this is what we were saying earlier too

[hot cairn]

okay but what if

[ashen perch]

My comparison still stands anyways

[woven talon]

wow oda's hero worship of Toiyama is crazyy

[ashen perch]

It doesnt matter

[woven talon]

"I went to Nagoya, the land where god resides."

that's wildddd

[hot cairn]

dawg humor me

[ashen perch]

Yeah he has called him that multiple times

[hot cairn]

what if there's no secret second part

[sturdy steeple]

Nothing really matters
To meeeeeeeeeeeeee

[hot cairn]

what do you think of the arc then

[ashen perch]

You'll find out? I don't know what to tell you man

I'm not in contact with this unlikely alternative timeline Arsal or something

[trim lily]

bad timeline arsal at 40 years old

[hot cairn]

okay then

[distant vine]

Guys I think we officialy hit the "Elbaph sucks I cant wait for the next arc" in the fandom cycle

Not completely but its festering fr now

[ashen perch]

The fandom suffers from collective amnesia every arc, nothing new

[trim lily]

mm not quite yet i think but this chapter put a damper on things for a lot of people

but this could just be a case of doomposting about a chapter only for it to be resolved in one or two and we forget about it

[distant vine]

I think once Luffy gets deep into his fight the doom will start up

[sturdy steeple]

This one stands out yeah

[woven talon]

lmaooooooo

oda after 11 chapters

"man this is hard, how do the pros do this" .... now 30 years later of being weekly

[distant vine]

God Valley was less than I expected

But Elbaph is more than I expected

So it evens out

[hot cairn]

I think this is the first time I can pin point it to a chapter lol

chapter 1176

[trim lily]

the flashback would’ve been so good if xebec wasn’t in it

but what’s done is done

[ashen perch]

Chapter 1010

Wano

[distant vine]

If only he picked up his women drawing skills

[hot cairn]

that chapter was peak tho

that wasnt it

it was later on

[ashen perch]

I like the chapter but its the exact chapter where the fandom started to dislike the arc

[sturdy steeple]

Man I envy that you guys can remember what the hell happened during those chapters

[trim lily]

do any of us remember the weekly experience from back then

[hot cairn]

https://x.com/ClericKnight/status/2029784926715789532?s=20 14k likes dawg, is this fandom cooked?

Cleric Knight (@ClericKnight)

Nobody (including myself) wants to believe it or admit it, but Oda might simply be finished with Usopp as a character

X · Mar 6, 2026, 5:03 AM

[ashen perch]

ACoC was seen as an absolutely ridiculous powerup

As soon as it happened

[hot cairn]

ah

[trim lily]

and it still is

[ashen perch]

Its not actually but regardless

[hot cairn]

I do

[trim lily]

can you confirm or deny arsal’s allegations

[sturdy steeple]

ACoC is basically what I mean when I say that Oda prefers to take simple routes

[ashen perch]

Unfortunately as someone who uses Twitter, its super clear that these people have gone mad

Some of its grifting

Engagement bait, all that

[hot cairn]

simple routes arent bad tho

[trim lily]

one piece fans on twitter

[ashen perch]

But just as many are serious lol

[sturdy steeple]

It's not about being good or bad, it's just the fact

[hot cairn]

I dont get how THIS is the chapter that breaks people

[mighty shell]

weird way to spell chopper

[vital heart]

nah. chapter 1017/1018 was ridiculous too

[ashen perch]

Every big account posted that the whole crew did something this chapter aside from Usopp

[formal wagon]

twitter 😭

[vital heart]

i forget which one it was though

[vital heart]

do yk what im referring to, arsal?

[ashen perch]

Singled him out

[sturdy steeple]

Trueeeeeeeeeeeee

[ashen perch]

And now we're here at this discourse

[ashen perch]

Nika

[vital heart]

Yup

[ashen perch]

Not controversial tbh

[vital heart]

Nika intro

Nah it was at the time

You musta forgot

[distant vine]

I remember being told Zoro wasnt going to rooftop

And he wasnt getting COC

[trim lily]

hey they weren’t fully wrong

[ashen perch]

I don't think it really was, but mainly because there was a level of denial in the fanbase

[trim lily]

he didn’t really get it until now

[ashen perch]

Nika wasn't controversial, but what WW said about his DF was

[distant vine]

I remember the Iva4Wano nonsense

The Oden is alive nonsense

[mighty shell]

enel WILL be on wano

[distant vine]

Other than that not much actually

[sturdy steeple]

Moria on Wano

[distant vine]

Yup Enel on Wano

[hot cairn]

I remember the Moria was coming to Wano followers

[trim lily]

the silhouette basically confirmed it

how could it not be him

[sturdy steeple]

I bet with some dude over it and he got banned beforehand

[ashen perch]

Vindicated btw

[hot cairn]

what if that was intentional

[ashen perch]

I agree

[sturdy steeple]

It's probably intentional

[trim lily]

it might be

[ashen perch]

I mentioned this as soon as the chapter came out, its definitely intentional

[sturdy steeple]

I still think of that line Luffy tells to Usopp in Legoland

[hot cairn]

by an after thought

[sturdy steeple]

Like "you could've handled him on your own"

[ashen perch]

Plans changed

Thats all

[mighty shell]

i never even considered oda was sidelining usopp because i have so much faith usopp will get character work this arc

[hot cairn]

The one when he said “you should’ve beat that cat”?

[mighty shell]

dunno why but i trust the author of my favorite series

[sturdy steeple]

Yes

[trim lily]

i HATE one piece and oda is my enemy

[hot cairn]

that’s a crazy thing to say these days in the One Piece community

[sturdy steeple]

I would love for Oda to not neglect Usopp though despite his future ideas

Like it's good and all but that sets up big expectations then

[hot cairn]

I don’t think he’s neglected tho

that’s the thing

[sturdy steeple]

But what has he really done so far lol

[hot cairn]

what exactly has been Oda neglecting Usopp from

[sturdy steeple]

You see glimpses of setup

[hot cairn]

how was the spoilers when it dropped

[ashen perch]

Terrible

[distant vine]

Action

[mighty shell]

i do kinda think if there are usopp character moments ahead oda should have planted those seeds earlier

[sturdy steeple]

Well, doing stuff? You ought to consider that Usopp hasn't really been doing stuff since, say, Wano (and for most it's even further than that).

[mighty shell]

otherwise they'll come off kinda meaningless

but i don't doubt they'll happen

[hot cairn]

I agree with that

[mighty shell]

usually i can see when oda intends to do stuff with the straw hats like when franky chased after lilith i was like ok franky's getting a vegapunk upgrade

[sturdy steeple]

It's funny because he did plant seeds but like 20 years ago

Regarding Usopp and his respect for Elbaf warriors

[grand flower]

Facts

[vital heart]

FUCK MY LIFE

FUCKKKKKK

[grand flower]

Agreed

[sturdy steeple]

I do think Usopp will make Loki his friend

[grand flower]

Fuck Meeks life

[sturdy steeple]

Idk if that's a hot take

[grand flower]

Usopp is gonna set loki straight

[mighty shell]

he's done it with every other giant it's kinda his thing isn't it

[sturdy steeple]

Yep

[hot cairn]

It would if Socrates was here

[trim lily]

but bisexual loki theory

[sturdy steeple]

But him and Loki are really similar so I really want to see it.

[sturdy steeple]

I raise my bottle of water in honour of the fallen

A group of One Piece fans have announced that the hunt is on, and they're starting an expedition to Japan to search for the real treasure author Oda hid in the ocean.

Fans are begging them to destroy the One Piece if they find it so the secret stays safe until the manga is over.

that jello apocalypse video was so weird it felt like ragebait for the sake of clicks rather than lighthearted poking fun. his jojo's video was poking fun and it was silly

That’s how most spoils happen tbf- a group of idiots being the leakers

they are going to read it then destroy it😂

marketing stunts really work on ppl huh

and so began the great weeb era!

[west axle]

how you guys think thoos arc gonna end

[formal wagon]

I DONT KNOW IM SORRY

but if i had to guess loki eats someone

imu possibly

and eustass comes back

[west axle]

most probably

[formal wagon]

yeah

i wonder how many chaps itll be till we see loki's hybrid

i feel like oda might hide it for a long time like he did with the other "dragon"

[woven talon]

Lol Kishimoto challenges Oda to a game of Tekken in one of his comments

Also apprantly Oda bought him an action figure as a souviner when he visted america

I love these notes

You Toei fiends is hilarious

[stray prism]

Don't be ridiculous kid isnt coming back

[woven talon]

man I wanan find the Japanese for these

I really really wish someone digitzied every issue of jump from like the 70s to now

it's so hard to source things

I was trying to find out the other day when the One Piece logo would've debuted

I thought it might not have until volume 1 of the manga

I didn't realize this but the volumes remove the logo

[formal wagon]

https://tenor.com/view/despair-angry-gif-4859976

[woven talon]

this one random facebook post confirmed to me that chapter 2 infact had the logo at publication

I kinda convinced myself that the cover page design just changed at some point lol

because I haven't got many later Japanese volumes

I wish we could just have access to all the WSJ versions easier tho

[hot cairn]

Kid will return

Usopp character development
Lunami

[woven talon]

1. Usopp development

Idk about during Elbaf

But you didn’t specify

[blazing depot]

Yasopp reunion is guaranteed

[woven talon]

2. kid return

3 ) Lunami

[trim lily]

all 3 equally likely

[blazing depot]

Even Lunami

[trim lily]

yes

depending on how you view these this can be a good or bad thing

[celest mauve]

unironically it's lunami, they're at least going to stay together EOS lol (and trying to talk shit while being a fan of other SH ships like frobin or zosan is like the pot calling the kettle black)

I have like no confidence in usopp being written well, and kid returning...

Naruhodo

[celest mauve]

benchod

[native seal]

[proud pivot]

Sak bandar h

[alpine trench]

Incorrect spelling man

[celest mauve]

bhenchod

[alpine trench]

Removes all the feeling from the gaali

YES

That’s it

[proud pivot]

Ullu is my most favourite hindi word, it's so cute

[celest mauve]

doesn't it also mean owl

[proud pivot]

Yes

[hot cairn]

This one piece discourse on twitter about the Elbaph arc is making me want to delete twitter

[trim lily]

make sure to avoid one piece discussion on twitter as much as possible

they are not real

[prisma yacht]

wow harsh was teaching them slang

[celest mauve]

I've never seen the fanbase so united in thinking oda's washed

it wasn't even that bad of a chapter, oda's written worse

[keen quiver]

Its just how inconsequential DR is

Unless imu uses it on loki and gets some tension back

Its a pretty clear sign of whats gonna happen

[celest mauve]

that part was definitely bad, I just don't think it makes oda a totally shit writer or the elbaf arc unsalvagable

[keen quiver]

Its like having the ability to mind control someone until they get tickled

And that reverts it

Like what ?

The arc isn't bad

Just this one ability that the antagonist is spamming

Is just rough of a concept

People are hoping imu just spams domi reversi

And thats just not interesting

[celest mauve]

yeah, imu needs to show off a deeper bag

[trim lily]

i mean they already do have a potentially fun kit

[celest mauve]

where's the zoan form, haki attacks etc.

[trim lily]

theyre just using the boring ability right now

[hot cairn]

I can see why Jesuschrist

[hot cairn]

reminds me of when chapter 1057 dropped

[frail kindle]

jesus

[hot cairn]

but this chapter was like nothing

[frail kindle]

twitter is a shit hole

[hot cairn]

wassup

[prisma yacht]

what was in 1057

[hot cairn]

end of Wano

[frail kindle]

also people are confusing domi reverse with the deep sea covenant

[prisma yacht]

I remember 1167 it was a masterpiece

[frail kindle]

combine those 2 things and its just shit discussions

[prisma yacht]

what was wrong with it?

[frail kindle]

yamato didn't join

[prisma yacht]

😭

[hot cairn]

I’ve seen that a lot too, people are mad lost and confused

saying that Harald is… alive ?

[prisma yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/it-was-perfect-gif-15232884745301549452

[frail kindle]

I need to save that Oda reading comprehension pic

[prisma yacht]

wano ending

[hot cairn]

It was the second most controversial chapter in OP fr by how people were reacting to it

[frail kindle]

bonney g5 was up there too

[hot cairn]

número uno will always be chapter 1044

[prisma yacht]

i remember G5 itself creating a lot of disappointment

[hot cairn]

people were dropping essays on that shi

[frail kindle]

people have stopped reading because of g5

[hot cairn]

yep

[scarlet nacelle]

joke answer? we more likely to get imu as luffy's mom than any of these
legitamate answer? usopp development

[trim lily]

you really cant blame people for reacting the way they did to the yamato chapter considering how oda cliffhangered it the previous

[hot cairn]

I remember people here were believing that the fruit was going to be Tama’s

[dire hollow]

rushed ending + we got no resolution for zoro and kaido just kinda didnt get a backstory

[hot cairn]

cause they couldn’t even think of Luffy having a special fruit

[trim lily]

this shit borderline malicious in nature

[hot cairn]

I remember how excited I was…

it was all a dream

[dire hollow]

true pain in my heart

could have had a real YC1

[celest mauve]

what was oda doing half the time in act 3 of wano lmao

[prisma yacht]

Glad dickheads are all away

[dire hollow]

laughing about how he was about to complete 25 years of trolling

[hot cairn]

what resolution for Zoro

[prisma yacht]

[dire hollow]

visiting ryuma's grave, fleshing out his bloodline and things of that nature

[hot cairn]

I was called “crazy” and “insane” for saying it was going to be Luffy’s fruit

[dire hollow]

that SBS reveal shit is so dead put it in the manga

[wraith mantle]

break week...

[prisma yacht]

didn't really need a spotlight

[hot cairn]

“fleshing out his bloodline” like what?

how is that important

[trim lily]

zoro meeting pinzoro in wano

[hot cairn]

bad chapter for break too

[wraith mantle]

fr

[knotty bone]

While in hiding, Oden snuck out into the capital each night and kidnapped several women to bring back, thus forming a harem. The women were free to leave at any time they wanted, but preferred to stay with Oden.

[wraith mantle]

mid ass chapter

[dire hollow]

my fault for thinking that the one character we have on the crew with a connection to thie shimotsukis should have tangible ties to wano

it could have been as background as the vinsmoke family it just needs to be there

[tough igloo]

instead we got useless panels/pages of raizo & fukurokuju burning in fire while standing still lol

[dire hollow]

stay on that side when usopp gets absolutely nothing this arc

[prisma yacht]

Peak

[celest mauve]

I mean didn't hyogoro and kawamatsu bring up the resemblance between zoro and ushimaru/ryuma?

and that just went nowhere lol

[prisma yacht]

Yeah not every character needs to have this

[dire hollow]

why would zoro not be deserving

[prisma yacht]

who said not deserving

[dire hollow]

you

[scarlet nacelle]

i mean it makes sense
the reason kaido was able to raze wano in the first place was because oden wasn't there to protect it. him galavanting around with pirates when he SHOULD have protected his kingdom
now yamato has the gift of being able to look back with hindsight. She knows the kingdom needs a protector

[prisma yacht]

i said it doesn't need to be that way lol

[scarlet nacelle]

and she takes up the title of protector to surpass oden

[prisma yacht]

which it didn't

[dire hollow]

arguing semantics at this point but it was a shit decision by oda that it wasn't that way

[tough igloo]

i’m glad Oda showed that a good timeline Yamato , is one that stopped with the Oden shit lol

[dire hollow]

you think it's over 😂😂😂😂

[prisma yacht]

That's bcs he has become the version he wanted to be

[high wolf]

Oda indirectly confirmed Yamato wanting to be Oden is a mental illness

[prisma yacht]

instead of continuously larping

[tough igloo]

lol if it’s not over then we are indeed in the bad timeline

[tough igloo]

lmao even Oda knows that shit is wrong

be yourself

[cosmic hamlet]

👀

[restive lintel]

Oda gonna flashback Zoro visit Ryuma grave for a powerup in future

[vapid flower]

mmmmmm power up flashbacks

[knotty bone]

What's he gonna take this time, ryuma's eyeball?

[dire hollow]

his haki sash

[prisma yacht]

https://enclose.horse Day 68
💎 PERFECT! 💎 100% @cosmic hamlet

[cosmic hamlet]

I stopped playing this

👀

[prisma yacht]

why?bcs it got easier?

[cosmic hamlet]

Idk i got bored

[restive lintel]

I think Zoro visit Ryuma grave is saved for last

Like end of One Piece

When Zoro marries Hiyori & settles down in Wano

That's when it'll happen

[woven talon]

this is just an upside down redo of the warlord rollcall

only with a bunvh of dialogue added instead of infoboxes

[graceful pasture]

can anyone send their bumsopp funny images, i want to make something

[grand flower]

But when Luffy does something because he saw shanks doing it

[tranquil estuary]

Going to write this here : I personally think it wouldve been more impacting if Dorry and Broggy actually killed each other for real, their whole speech about dying with pride wouldve reached me better that way

[serene plume]

this is one piece

only character that gets to die is ace

[tranquil estuary]

Ye ye Oda never kills

[serene plume]

(deserved)

[tranquil estuary]

But were going endgame, he need to kill characters

The world of One piece isnt all sunshine and rainbows, he depicts horrible things and yet he cant bring himself to kill characters

[wraith mantle]

AJ (@Aleczandxr)

Someone has sent me a DM asking me to do an “emergency” stream tonight to discuss the state of Elbaph😭

What the hell even happened in 1176?! (Rhetorical)
