[dapper tree]

[celest socket]

shadow scaling...

[prisma yacht]

[dark nymph]

positioning of silhouettes scaling

[celest socket]

these are so indistinct other than the one that looks like shanks lmao

[dapper tree]

Shamrock loses to Sabo incoming

[dense haven]

holy knights vs tobi roppo who wins

[celest socket]

I doubt these were final designs

like do any of these even look like gunko

[cold steppe]

Shamrock will be the same

[dapper tree]

Belo Betty vs that one lady HK

Sommers vs Lindbergh

[rose rune]

I still believe

[barren token]

Sasaki when killingham sends 392929 giant monsters on his ass

[dark nymph]

2 is the goth HK

[dapper tree]

The HKs, they are bums but ain't that bad

[celest socket]

shanks is just faking his scar and lost arm

[hot cairn]

Idk if Oda would do another escape arc back to back

[celest socket]

he was tucking his arm into his sleeve the whole time

[celest socket]

true. idk we're leading up to the final arc tho it might just be what the story demands

[muted hedge]

the one being set up to defeat Shamrock is definitely Loki

[hot cairn]

there’s still time

[prisma yacht]

Holy toppo

[celest socket]

loki final antagonist imo

[muted hedge]

probably

[hot cairn]

Imu’s here now

[barren token]

Imu telling the gorosei hes leaving for a bit but he doesnt go to elbaf he goes to enjoy a nice vacation so he doesnt have to think about that jerk nika

[dark nymph]

Well, hopefully yes

[cold steppe]

It is true it's not confirmed to be elbaf

It's just that place

[muted hedge]

it has to be Elbaph

[celest socket]

I love That Place

That Piece

[celest socket]

he could be going to egghead to get the mother flame or something

[cold steppe]

That person vs that person in that place

[celest socket]

he might not need to actually go to elbaf to do stuff

[muted hedge]

nah, that would be odd

[dapper tree]

Loki 0 diffs him. Shamrock can fight revos with his HK buddies

[dark nymph]

if next chapter isn't Imu arriving to Elbaph, Oda is officially washed

[muted hedge]

i think you're underestimating Shamrock, lol

[dapper tree]

I am not

[celest socket]

we've literally never seen him do anything

[barren token]

You are

[celest socket]

what are we even scaling him based on

[dapper tree]

The man hasn't done anything

[barren token]

Oda didnt introduce shanks evil twin brother for him to fight a revo commander

[dapper tree]

And the only reason people hype him is Shanks scaling

[celest socket]

tell D gorosei

[cold steppe]

Well he is flexing a spandam feat

[dapper tree]

Which is the worse type of scaling

[dark nymph]

not being extremely far off Shanks

[dark nymph]

hi

[celest socket]

mihawk vs shamrock

[dapper tree]

Even worse than sword scaling with mihawk

[cold steppe]

Cerberus probably better than an elephant tho

[celest socket]

let's gooo

[rose rune]

shamrock will get a 1v1 against Ushiano in the final war

[brittle basin]

yeah yeah whatever blah blah blah

[celest socket]

I am maybe buying that the WG won't actually be a final threat for the protagonists atp

like the revolutionaries do actually succeed in toppling them but then the blackbeard pirates complete their plan to take over the world during the chaos

[muted hedge]

strange i feel like they're set up very clearly to be the final antagonists, the world against Imu pretty much

[celest socket]

imu is like the only WG villain standing though I feel

[celest socket]

the gorosei, the navy and god's knights have all kindof been humbled

[dark nymph]

Imu is the final villain

[celest socket]

he might be

[muted hedge]

not really

i mean Sommers and Kilingham, sure

[dark nymph]

Luffy will clap BB for the OP and then go beat Imus ass

[muted hedge]

but the gorosei were sent back due to a haki knot from Joyboy

[muted hedge]

and Saturn died only thanks to Imu

[brittle basin]

BB is going to assassinate Imu underhandedly. feels in character somewhat

[celest socket]

but if you want a group to be your final threat you dont have them get humiliated on their first outing

[rich hornet]

We still have Sham and Garling

[celest socket]

yeah this is my guess also

I also think loki is a dark horse major antagonist possibly if davey d jones was actually a key joyboy rival

[dark nymph]

and that he's related to Rocks, just fate fucking Imu

[celest socket]

like they work together most of the way but then their ideas are irreconcilable at the end

[hot cairn]

CHAPTER WEEK

[muted hedge]

i could see Blackbeard defeating Imu with Luffy

[stray prism]

Ill vote some random today

[muted hedge]

but i don't see Blackbeard doing squat if he went solo, i won't lie

[ashen perch]

But it is a group, think about the past villain groups: The first underlings of Crocodile got either entirely humiliated or atleast still defeated. Same with Doflamingo. Same with Kaido, Jack's whole thing was getting humiliated and he was our only idea of what the Beast Pirates are supposed to be like.

[muted hedge]

i think he'd just be domi reversed as yet another pawn of Imu's game

[dark nymph]

why no arms

[brittle basin]

i still need to vote today

[fiery mirage]

🥹🥹🥹

[celest socket]

ehhh

[rich hornet]

They arms are reaching toward the viewer, cant you see the circles

[celest socket]

I mean jack does get beat but he also took out a whole island on his own

and he's like the 4th in command

[ashen perch]

Crocodile demolishing Luffy changed the perception of the group, who up till that point had only been getting defeated left and right with ease.

[ashen perch]

Its established that he played very dirty

[ashen perch]

and the Dukes had no sense of unity among them

[muted hedge]

crazy to not have Loki here

[hot cairn]

the holy knights had Elbaph in the palm of their hands until the monster trio + Loki showed up. The strongest characters in the island

[celest socket]

and jack got blasted away by a character so huge he's actually probably impossible for anyone to fight

[prisma yacht]

I'll eventually get to him as well

[muted hedge]

inverted colors from Shamrock

[celest socket]

true but like, I dont really believe theyd be serious threats to the straw hats atp unless something changes

[cold steppe]

I still think the HKs will have the upper hand again

[celest socket]

it's not like jack got low diffed by luffy

[brittle basin]

Proof that Vivi Kills Shamrock. VKS

[cold steppe]

Probably a power up from imu

[celest socket]

especially when we had katakuri massively gassing up yonko commanders for a whole arc

[hot cairn]

me too

[muted hedge]

i was gonna say that they just like red and blue

[brittle basin]

crips and bloods

[celest socket]

it just doesnt feel like the trajectory youd expect from "I've introduced a new set of antagonists late and theyre going to be hte final villains"

[ashen perch]

In terms of strength, Rayleigh, Gaban and Gear 5 Luffy might as well be the same thing as getting smacked by Zunesha lol

[celest socket]

did anyone else find the way gaban was handled really funny

like everyone has to keep pointing out that it's gaban and explaining who gaban is

because I dont think he's had any role in the story so far other than appearing in the background of roger flashbacks?

[warm fossil]

there are quite a lot of characters that definitely just cook zunesha

[brittle basin]

Gaban is Sanji's haki merchant.

[celest socket]

who

[ashen perch]

meanwhile for Qilingham, Sanji, Jinbe and Franky all teaming up together to jump him is similarly deeply unfair to him

[warm fossil]

"sanji" in big 2026...

[muted hedge]

seems like Kilingham really just favors being ranged

[celest socket]

I guess zunesha gets hurt by cannonballs so you might be able to just wear him down

[brittle basin]

Where are my 1v1s, Arsal?

[celest socket]

but comon this guy is 5km tall

[ashen perch]

could even compare it to Fujitora, Tsuru and Sengoku really

[warm fossil]

every non buggy emperor through time, the gorosei, imu, mihawk, dragon, honestly probably even someone like zoro and law like is cutting a leg that much harder than cutting a mountain

[ashen perch]

Zunesha has overwhelming physical strength but his defenses arent exactly all that

[muted hedge]

watch us get a flashback with Ryuma where he tried to slice a leg off from Zunesha and they were unscathed

[ashen perch]

if the force of a few dozen cannonballs can hurt his legs enough to trip him, theres many who should be able to recreate that

[rose rune]

I wonder if it's possible to make a strong leather armor out of his hide, or if it's too thick

[warm fossil]

i mean considering the strength feats characters have pulled i would not be entirely shocked if kaido or like loki are just physically stronger

[dark nymph]

prime Zunesha

[ashen perch]

soon

[muted hedge]

can't you just thin it down

[celest socket]

tbf as soon as zunesha was free to do anything he just destroyed the threat

[rose rune]

probably

[warm fossil]

sure but the threat was jack

[celest socket]

him being locked into doing nothing might also harm his defense

[ashen perch]

perhaps

[brittle basin]

Sanji conq soon too? 🥺

[indigo yacht]

you probably could his hide is like rock

[ashen perch]

I think we might get it, but not ACoC just yet.

[indigo yacht]

and it would heal overtime

[dense haven]

@warm fossil you aint ready for imu

[brittle basin]

but gaban said!!!!!! give me conq sanji.

[ashen perch]

this is also true

[warm fossil]

i'm as ready as they come to clown on him

[brittle basin]

Imu is going to play Luffy like a fiddle, probably literally

[muted hedge]

he'll play Loki and Luffy like marionettes

[brittle basin]

I hope Imu has a rocket launcher next.

[rose rune]

that's it then. make zunesha mineable in the open world game

[hot cairn]

Imu will beat the shit out of everyone in the island tho

[warm fossil]

sure

[ashen perch]

while Marie Geoise is burning...

[muted hedge]

https://klipy.com/gifs/missionnsync-boyband-169

[brittle basin]

Just make Imu the Doomslayer please.

[warm fossil]

won't stop the clowning tho

[muted hedge]

Alucard

[hot cairn]

why

[warm fossil]

imu is a great example of why strength and aura don't always align

[muted hedge]

Alucard with guns

[celest socket]

we know imu has access to a nuke

[indigo yacht]

Removing a bit of his hide probably wont hurt him too much. His epidermis is probably as thick as the dirt layer outside since he has roots inside them

[rose rune]

https://tenor.com/view/castlevania-gif-10526321653508159943

[indigo yacht]

those tress on zunesha are technically parasites ngl

[hot cairn]

[brittle basin]

SOTN my beloved

[muted hedge]

https://klipy.com/gifs/alucard-hellsing-29

[rose rune]

minks are parasites

[brittle basin]

So are the minks

[scenic dirge]

Genuinely true

Minks are to Zunesha what barnacles are to a ship

[indigo yacht]

the minks not really they're more like the mites living on your eyebrows

[soft tangle]

Salvation is so close

[indigo yacht]

or the bacteria on your gut

[muted hedge]

crazy how unlucky you are when it comes to getting golden frames

[brittle basin]

i like this. it's a nice way to passively aggressively downscale the Mink tribe.

[rose rune]

if you consider the trees and flora mold, they could be bacteria that thrive there

[indigo yacht]

those trees feed off of zunesha. The minks just live off of... idk

[soft tangle]

I’ll get back to back at some point 🙏

[brittle basin]

Only gold I got so far was WB and Vivi. Though those are two great ones to get gold with.

[soft tangle]

I’ve gotten 1

[muted hedge]

i wish Zunesha was a turtle

[dark nymph]

the fish haul from the constant showers

[modest delta]

God I wanna see the next chapter so bad

[rose rune]

I suspect the next chapter will be a calm one

[indigo yacht]

honestly yea. barnacles are not parasites but epibionts. They don't harm the host (zunesha). The trees tho are parasites as they actively feed off of Zunesha

[hot cairn]

but the ending will be fire

[muted hedge]

i think next chapter will raise hell on earth

the one piece earth i mean

[hot cairn]

Imu arriving probably

[rose rune]

I feel like 70% of chapters end on a cliffhanger. it might not be true, but that's what it feels like

Why did Socrates even agree to this , can a mod even be muted?

[prisma yacht]

Oh what

I was joking

[ashen perch]

a mod can be muted, they just need to not talk for 72 hours

[prisma yacht]

[muted hedge]

watch Imu pull up with their own body and just effortlessly domi reverse Loki

[stone terrace]

3 days no arsal lets undo everything hes done

[muted hedge]

"Gunko, thoust body wast feeble for Mu"

[celest socket]

did we find out whats up with loki's transponder snail

[cosmic hamlet]

Then you are older than me ✌️

[runic dock]

That’s why he’s the goat

[celest socket]

I can't remember if I just missed that

[runic dock]

No

[muted hedge]

not anything other than it's a specialzed one for snowy areas

[prisma yacht]

Icon changed his name?

[celest socket]

so not who it belongs to or anything

[muted hedge]

nope

[thin quest]

Mosa is probably someone in the heavenly realm or on a sky island

[celest socket]

honestly it would be funny if loki just engineered a fake redemption backstory and he is actually evil

would be very in-keeping with the mythological character

[prisma yacht]

Shirahoshi

[cosmic hamlet]

Loki getting domi reversi'ed didn't make sense to me from the beginning

[prisma yacht]

I was always on the dr loki train tho

[muted hedge]

i don't know about that

[cosmic hamlet]

Look at it on the bright side, because loki didn't get DR'd, imu is leaving mariejois

[celest socket]

is it just gaban who vouched for loki's version of events so far

[cosmic hamlet]

Yes

[prisma yacht]

Yeah I'm always happy when my predictions go wrong :3

[cosmic hamlet]

He said that what loki said is true

[celest socket]

gaban obviously should be trustworthy but this arc did introduce mind control

[muted hedge]

well not in the context to Gaban

[cosmic hamlet]

What are some instances where your predictions went right?

[prisma yacht]

Loki getting framed

[cosmic hamlet]

He didn't get framed, he volunteered

[prisma yacht]

Yeah whatever

[cosmic hamlet]

There was no traitor

[celest socket]

he didn't really volunteer right

he ran away

[cosmic hamlet]

Which is surprising

[prisma yacht]

He did

He asked jarul to not disclose the truth

[cosmic hamlet]

He volunteered to take the blame for harald death without an explanation

[muted hedge]

he did put all of it on himself to not put a blemish on his fathers legacy

[iron oriole]

all to save the legacy of a King who became a Jester

[celest socket]

he did say that

but then he ran away, if shanks hadnt caught him he wouldnt have actually taken the fall right

[muted hedge]

i mean, Loki taking the blame made all of Elbaph believe that Harald was perfect

[iron oriole]

he took the survivors and left to exact revenge on the WG for what they did to Harald, all while everyone back home hated his guts

[cosmic hamlet]

He didn't ran away, he was going to fight with WG.

[muted hedge]

he would've probably died, as he planned to go to Marijoa

[iron oriole]

it wasn't a "i'm fleeing" situation

[prisma yacht]

They still hate him for a weird dude he is

[dense haven]

yall liked the chapter?

[iron oriole]

it was a "Jarul i'm the Prince, blame me for his death, keep this a secret & i'm going to fuck shit up" situation

[celest socket]

right

[iron oriole]

tbf he still was a menace

[cosmic hamlet]

What did he do for 8 years?

[iron oriole]

its just they no longer hate/blame him for Harald

[prisma yacht]

No.1 bully

[muted hedge]

no fucking idea, anything really

[prisma yacht]

Yea

[celest socket]

he attacked govt ships out of the fog

or was that earlier

Loki still rampaged through villages with the monsters from the underworld and shit which they blame him for etc

[celest socket]

it was like the opposite of what his father did

[prisma yacht]

Imu did give us some insight in the last chapter

[dense haven]

that wouldn't happen if the giants weren't such bums

[muted hedge]

Loki keeping his dragon form covered by misty areas was a good explanation for why no one knew he had the Nidhoggr fruit even after 8 years out on the sea

[cosmic hamlet]

I'm not quite sure if imu is talking about loki or god of war

[iron oriole]

nah Loki still built different

[prisma yacht]

What makes u think that

[cosmic hamlet]

Wait imu said few years ago

So loki

[iron oriole]

Imu is talking about Loki

[prisma yacht]

There was no god of war during wg era

[cosmic hamlet]

So loki destroyed WG vessels for 8 years

[iron oriole]

it sounds like there hasn't been one since the OG died

[cosmic hamlet]

And shanks saved him when he was about to die from WG?

[muted hedge]

yeah, given Ragnir kept guard for so long

until one was worthy

[celest socket]

yeah, this is what I mean by he didn't exactly take the fall

[prisma yacht]

Bro was attacking random wg ships

[iron oriole]

Ragnir been blocking people, seemingly Nidhoggr fruit = God of War status at least

[celest socket]

he ran away and couldve remained free indefinitely if shanks hadnt got him

idk I think loki's story doesnt really add up

[muted hedge]

if Shanks didn't get to him, i am afraid that Imu would've had their clutches on him sooner or later

[iron oriole]

what doesn't add up about it?

[prisma yacht]

The shanks part needs to be covered up

[cosmic hamlet]

Loki tried to destroy WG
He destroyed vessels for 8 years
Shanks met him and asked to not confront directly because its dangerous
Loki didn't listen
Shanks beat him and tied him up in elbaf so he won't recklessly go and die

[dense haven]

wedidn't even see him meet lola

[iron oriole]

tbh Shanks probably talk no haki'd Loki into someone willingly being chained for 6 years

how tf he is winning the 1v2 otherwise idk

[muted hedge]

the easiest explanation is that Shanks beat him for his own good, so he didn't get himself killed in a suicide attempt to stop the World Government

[dense haven]

man people already used that excuse for kaido in marineford

yall need a new script

[iron oriole]

nah this is different

[celest socket]

he might just really fucking like lola

[iron oriole]

Ragnir is involved

and Ragnir is top 3

[muted hedge]

i think Shanks vs Loki is the first time we'll see Shanks using his observation killing ability

[iron oriole]

behind Imu & Nika

[dense haven]

shanks is HIM

[cosmic hamlet]

He did take the fall, I don't think you understand the meaning of taking the fall.

Its not about whether taking the punishment or not. Its about taking the blame that loki killed harald for the devil fruit. Thats the fall he took

[prisma yacht]

I don't think there was a talk no haki here

[muted hedge]

Shanks will be able to manouvre around Loki without Loki knowing given Shanks killing his observation haki

[iron oriole]

Loki takes his blindfold off for the first time

[muted hedge]

oh yeah, what's going on with his eyes

[celest socket]

I mean you could argue that but like

[cosmic hamlet]

You keep saying "he ran away" despite multiple people explaining he is not

[muted hedge]

not even a hint for what it could be, yet

[celest socket]

if he was serious about taking the blame he couldve stayed and confessed to it

[cosmic hamlet]

I don't think there is any argument for it. It was clearly stated in manga. You want to argue manga contents?

[prisma yacht]

Uhh

[prisma yacht]

That's a very weird way to look at it

[iron oriole]

Loki even went against Haralds own wishes

he told him to tell the people the truth, how he was a fool

[cosmic hamlet]

Nothing? Wdym?

[muted hedge]

that's the thing, we've not gotten even a crumb to what it could be

[prisma yacht]

Flashback ending was so peak

[muted hedge]

his eyes were noted as strange in the first chapters of his birth and after that, nothing

[celest socket]

wasnt it implied his mother blinded him or something

[iron oriole]

no

[muted hedge]

even when Xebec attacked him, he didn't say anything regarding his curious eyes either

[celest socket]

she hated his eyes

[muted hedge]

she threw him off the tree because of his eyes

[cosmic hamlet]

Oh the powers of his eyes? I think the only thing we know is that he can see through things with it. Even if you cover his eyes

[prisma yacht]

Fuck Estrid

[iron oriole]

yeah we know he can still see even while blindfolded

whether or not that is because of his eyes specifically we dk

[muted hedge]

i definitely thought that Xebec would make some remark about his curious eyes, but nothing

[celest socket]

idk I dont believe loki. I know the One Piece Redemption Backstory is sacred but I aint buying it

[iron oriole]

what dont you believe?

[cosmic hamlet]

Loki was not blinded, he choose to cover his eyes so people don't look at his eyes and think he is weird

Or fear him

It has loki's own choice to cover his eyes

[prisma yacht]

What is the guy even talking about

I think he's confused

[iron oriole]

well idk about his own choice initially, since his eyes were covered as a baby

its his choice to continue wearing the blindfold now at least

[cosmic hamlet]

Its mostly because of his eyes, people say he has exceptional observation haki but the most logical explanation is, its because of his eyes

[iron oriole]

Most likely yeah, i'm just saying we dk for sure

[cosmic hamlet]

Rocks is someone who doesn't care about this stuff on how people look. He probably doesn't have any knowledge on loki eyes either

[muted hedge]

it still bugs me that Harald didn't see his sons eyes with his own eyes even once before his death

[muted hedge]

well he seems to know a lot of other things, so why wouldn't he

i mean he knew of the potential of the fruit of Elbaph for example

[cosmic hamlet]

Fair enough

[cosmic hamlet]

Yeah

[cosmic hamlet]

He seems to know a lot of other things but that doesn't mean he knows everything. His eyes are a mystery in elbaf itself. Even jarul doesn't know

[muted hedge]

has Jarul even seen them

[cosmic hamlet]

I don't know, I don't remember

But he probably did?

[muted hedge]

i just remember a guard and Estrid being the ones who saw them

[celest socket]

rocks just knew about the nidhogg fruit and how an ancient giant should eat it for max power

[cosmic hamlet]

That was jarul

Not rocks

[iron oriole]

the only people we saw see his eyes are Estrid, her midwives, some royal guards & Rocks/WB etc

[cosmic hamlet]

You seem to be confused and mixing things about lot of things, are you sure you are reading manga without skipping stuff?

[muted hedge]

Xebec also knew of the potential

that's why he wanted Harald to eat it

[iron oriole]

well Rocks might have actually known about the Nidhogg, since he wanted Harald to eat one of the fruits & that it was on Elbaf

[cosmic hamlet]

Hmm, we don't even know if there is such an occurrence previously or its the first time

[celest socket]

yeah wasnt that very obviously the implication of what rocks said to harald

[iron oriole]

i mean its obvious now, after Jaruls comments on it

[cosmic hamlet]

Right, but he didn't mention that an ancient giant should eat it to get maximum potential

[celest socket]

sure but that's what we learnt later

[iron oriole]

hindsight is a wonderful thing

[celest socket]

and that's a very obvious inference

[muted hedge]

connecting the dots is quite easy now after Jarul told us about it

Xebec wanted Harald an ancient giant to eat the fruit, Jarul says that the full capacity of it is best when it's eaten by an ancient giant

[iron oriole]

at the time nobody thought it was obvious, a lot of people were arguing that it was the Nika that was on Elbaf

[celest socket]

1. there was a fruit on elbaf that Rocks desperately wanted 2) he really wanted Harald specifically to eat it 3) elbaf has the nidhogg fruit 4) the bigger the user of the nidhogg fruit the bigger and more powerful nidhog is 5) harald was an ancient giant, the biggest of people

[cosmic hamlet]

Xebec doesn't know that harald tried and failed 😭

[muted hedge]

was that really Harald trying

if you're refering to when Imu had influenced him

[cosmic hamlet]

Yes, we don't even know anything about the fruit at that time

[iron oriole]

he tried before that

[celest socket]

ok but we know now

[muted hedge]

hm? when he went against Ragnir?

[celest socket]

and it seems like rocks also knew given how he behaved

but yeah he didn't see any specific significance in loki's eyes, he presumably just thought loki was too young and he didnt want to wait for him to grow to full size

[rose rune]

I started thinking about it and scrolled through the chapter, but this is actually one of few chapters that didn't inspire me at all when it comes to editing panels

[iron oriole]

Yeah its implied that Harald has tried to get it before after the comment of "with the power i have now" like he knows its enough to get past Ragnir

[cosmic hamlet]

He did kinda implied he tried

[iron oriole]

Snailneto

[celest socket]

it is framed like he's refusing rocks though rather than just being unable to do it

[muted hedge]

fair enough, i just interpret that as him not trying as he thought that it would be to no avail as he compared his own power to the prior ones who have tried

[cosmic hamlet]

** ** 👁️
👁️ 👁️

[cosmic hamlet]

Eitherway, we now know that its not about strength, its just ragnirs instincts maybe? On whom to choose

[muted hedge]

seems to be a bit of both

you have to strong enough and worthy

[cosmic hamlet]

Yeah but doesn't necessarily need to be stronger than harald

As we know he is not as strong as harald before eating the fruit

[iron oriole]

I think they need to be comparable to Loki at least

[cosmic hamlet]

Yeah

My point is that, even if harald tried, its not because of his strength that he got rejected most likely

[muted hedge]

it's so funny that Loki breaking his own weapon against Ragnir made it look like Ragnir felt bad for him

[celest socket]

it's possible the eyes are linked, like you have to be the "destined destroyer" or somethin

[cosmic hamlet]

I feel sorry that i broke your weapon, so i will be your weapon from now on

[balmy lava]

Loki proving he was strong, but also that he had eyes likely tied to the old gods is probably what pushed Ragnir over the edge to except him

[muted hedge]

i wonder if Cerberus has any elemental properties to it

if Ragnir has ice, maybe Cerberus will have fire?

[celest socket]

loki kindof seems quite similar to shirahoshi in a way

I guess all 3 of the big weapons are accounted for now

[cosmic hamlet]

Loki is not uranus if thats what you are implying

[celest socket]

yeah but the fact that he's a prince who seems to have some specific destiny that allowed him to gain this legendary apocalyptic power

[iron oriole]

Would make sense for the guard dog of Hell to have fire abilities

[muted hedge]

yup

[iron oriole]

Watch Gryphon have an actual Gryphon inside too

And the haki aura wasn't just for style points

[muted hedge]

feels like it's definitely possible

didn't Oda also say sometime how does Shanks actually fight?

in a SBS or something

[dapper tree]

he did, he said we don't know how he actually fights

a meme anwser

[iron oriole]

Classic Oda answer

[muted hedge]

hmmm

[digital spear]

I think he just said his haki is like fire and he has observation killing

[muted hedge]

wasn't the fire sword a thing that the film red directors put in there

[dapper tree]

That was something else

[digital spear]

yeah thats what I was talking about

[muted hedge]

ah

[digital spear]

it was said in the film red thing

[iron oriole]

Haki like fire? Oda confusing the brothers

[muted hedge]

well either way Shanks coming in flying with his sword transformed into a Gryphon would be sick

[dapper tree]

oda always confusing us

[iron oriole]

Man.. i always knew Shanks was alliance scum

[muted hedge]

lol

[dense haven]

where do yall think oda is going with this chopper shit

will chopper beat imu

will chopper free gunko

[iron oriole]

I think it'll be just for those that are domi'd & don't have a proper connection to Imu like the HKs do

Also think its because of the rumble balls

[muted hedge]

mythical zoan forest god or something like it

the mural described the forest god taming demons

[iron oriole]

When he eats them, they "distort the wavelengths" of his fruit, supposedly thats where his forms come from

That distortion probably allows Chopper to somehow "touch" the demon inside of the domi'd Giant & seperate the two

[dense haven]

well yea I'm not asking what he is I'm asking what hes gonna do in the arc

surely not just slapping the devil out of some fodder

[quiet ice]

Remember before g5 that people were saying his next upgrade was going to be fire haki because his red roc hurt Kaido

[muted hedge]

i just remember the resin theories, lol

[iron oriole]

hey that was a good time

[muted hedge]

maybe he'll develop some sort of "cure" for the covenants? to make them not immortal

i honestly have no idea

[balmy lava]

if the forest god 'tamed demons', there was likely a state at the end of the 1st age where beasts/monsters basically covered the earth.

[muted hedge]

"shrouded the world in death and darkness" i guess could mean the monsters roamed the earth?

[iron oriole]

it all stemmed from this iirc, was good times

[muted hedge]

i forgot how blinged that monkey was

[iron oriole]

Hello arsalwise

Rayleigh says the same thing when he rescues Boa that he says to Shakky.

[hearty shore]

nah it's just oda being a hack again

i mean look at the jagged hip outlines

[grand flower]

@celest mauve @leaden rivet another reason Ray/Shakky was written well

[latent hamlet]

U know
Its a goos thing shakky was into some1 not from the rocks crew

Imagine the infighting

[brittle basin]

Insane. He went to another series and gave himself DBZ aura.

[serene plume]

is Shakespeare really dead

[rose rune]

no, that's shakky's fan art of him

[brittle basin]

Ah, so Shakky loves DBZ.

[rose rune]

she signed it with her name and age

[muted hedge]

Rayleigh and Shakky sitting in a tree..

[iron oriole]

was funny seeing Rayleigh try to remain all stoic, meanwhile inside he's like "fuck fuck fuCK FUCKA UDSAFKASD AUISDGUADSGUIHA"

[muted hedge]

one can only imagine their first adventure

[iron oriole]

idt much adventuring was done for a while after the rescue

IYKYK

yes, you caught my drift

Him being the most fired up to save Shakky was hilarious

[iron oriole]

Roger the ultimate wingman

[muted hedge]

his smile here is killing me

[iron oriole]

the grin of a man knowing he just won the lottery

[grand flower]

Rayleigh ain’t stopped smiling like this since

[celest mauve]

I'm still not moved

[grand flower]

That wasn’t quite the exercise

[muted hedge]

lol

[iron oriole]

crazy how Rayleigh has Shakky but he sleeps around

[muted hedge]

perfect match

[muted hedge]

part of me wants to believe that he just goes to mourn the death of Roger for extended periods of times while passing out drunk

[grand flower]

Poly representation Oda is so based

[muted hedge]

i don't want to believe that Rayleigh is so, unfaithful lol

[iron oriole]

i mean.. Shakky says he's probably with another women when he was missing on Sabaody, like its happened before & she caught him etc

[grand flower]

It’s not unfaithful if she’s cool with it

[iron oriole]

she does seem fine with it tbf

i'm js, if it was me... i'd be faithful af to Shakky

[muted hedge]

she knew the cons of being with a former pirate, lol

[iron oriole]

she probably sleeps around too ngl

[muted hedge]

if he does, she definitely should too

[iron oriole]

i imagine they had their whole honeymoon period shit for a couple years after the rescue etc & then after a while, promised to always come back but sex is just sex when it comes to others

yeah, that's probably what it is

[prisma idol]

Technically they are #games

[rose rune]

dragon ball has an actual story, plus it sucks

[wraith mantle]

Pokémon has a story too lol

[rose rune]

barely

[wraith mantle]

Dragon ball has games too

[balmy field]

PRINCE SOON TO BE A BROKEN MAN ONCE SAID YOU ARE EITHER PERFECT OR YOU ARE NOT ME!

[spice cairn]

Pokemon has a very loosely connected storyline

Not even the writers gaf

[rose rune]

pokemon is mostly a pokemon of the week affair from what I remember

[wraith mantle]

What

[prisma idol]

Dragon ball is mainly an anime, Pokémon is mainly a game focused franchise. Pokémon has story yes but in those gifs that is nver told or touched on, its just cute gifs of the Pokémon. Dragon ball gifs have spoilers to the powerups and major plot points

[balmy field]

perfect being DBZ gng

[wraith mantle]

I wouldn’t know I haven’t seen the shoe yet

[iron oriole]

it does have some story

[wraith mantle]

Show*

[iron oriole]

but its mostly just the same shit in a different place

[brittle basin]

too late

[rose rune]

they present you with a new pokemon, and then there's something like "oh no, it's sad for some reason, we gotta help it"

[dapper tree]

[wraith mantle]

Rate it out if 10

10 being epic like one piece

[iron oriole]

the story?

[balmy field]

do people like POKEMON cuz they like furries?

[wraith mantle]

Show as a whole

[rose rune]

1-2/10 probably

[graceful grove]

they didn't exist when it came out

[muted hedge]

Pokemon Horizons is very good if you ask me, it's the newest Pokemon show so to speak

[iron oriole]

varies from season to season but i'm biased, i'd say a low 7 at max

[rose rune]

[graceful grove]

pokemon is a 3 at best. its a simple little template dumbed down for kids recycled over and over again

[wraith mantle]

Damn it deffo didn’t have a great animation budget that’s for sure

[rose rune]

yeah. it's pretty rough

[muted hedge]

gen 4 and XYZ are probably my favorites

[iron oriole]

never has, same for the games

TCG & merch get all the budget

[rose rune]

[graceful grove]

a franchise that gets trillions but only invest 1% of it on the product

50% is spent on suing

[muted hedge]

they know people will buy whatever they make either way

[iron oriole]

the games are no longer the main selling point, neither is the show so why would they invest a lot in it

especially when they can spend the minimum & rake in millions

[graceful grove]

getting kids hooked on gambling was their biggest trick xd

[iron oriole]

i'd say since like gen 3/4, the TCG & merch properly took over

[muted hedge]

i'd definitely include gen 5 there too, B&W2 were great

[iron oriole]

ehh BW was mid af though

[muted hedge]

yeah but B&W2 are phenomenal

[runic dock]

Case in point , the 900 dollar boa I pulled

[muted hedge]

holy

[dense haven]

how mich did you spend tho

[iron oriole]

grade it

[runic dock]

1 pack , and it was a gift pack

[graceful grove]

cash in before oda ruins her character and the stocks go down

[runic dock]

So 0 dollars

[iron oriole]

it'll probably 10, there's so many 10s for OP cards, quality is insane

[graceful belfry]

Game is game

[runic dock]

They gave me 1 single pack

And I got a god pull

[dense haven]

you bought only 1 pack ever?

[runic dock]

For this boa booster box pack I didn’t buy anything

I got a 650 dollar card , a 250 dollar card , a 160 dollar card and other 40-80 dollar cards tho

[dense haven]

ok you didn't answer my question

[glacial bear]

That Ace and Boa SP! 🔥

[runic dock]

Irrelevant , I have enough in value to make back what I spent

If I wanted

But I don’t want to

[iron oriole]

The only Boa i have thats any good

[runic dock]

Oooh that’s a nice one

[dense haven]

https://klipy.com/gifs/cat-cope

[torn onyx]

If you actually tried to sell them, then it’s always extremely hard to sell them at those theoretical prices

[runic dock]

I also have the first booster boa

[runic dock]

You can go to card conventions where they do only that

Not a random store tho

[glacial bear]

I can only collect Japanese versions of the card since it’s cheaper than English versions. But this is what I have back home. Unfortunately I’m out of state rn 😭@runic dock

I’m thinking of just collecting the WG. Like Imu, Five Elders, etc

[iron oriole]

Waiting for the day that Fem Law jumps up, bought 2 boxes of Heroines & pulled both of them, was kinda upset it wasn't Manga Uta tbh

[glacial bear]

That’s a really awesome alt art

[runic dock]

This one went up in value , was 80 now 123

[iron oriole]

I want to collect all Robins & Brooks

[iron oriole]

But the Chinese anni Robin is the bane of my existence

[runic dock]

Sick collection!! Definitely beats my two boas

[glacial bear]

Aye I’m rooting for you! Create a check list ✅ It’s defo possible!

[runic dock]

Collecting all puddings , now that’s a feat

There’s so many puddings

Idk why

[iron oriole]

The Robin in question

[glacial bear]

Awe Thank you!

[glacial bear]

And the artworks are really pretty too!

[runic dock]

Yeah they do boa Justice

[glacial bear]

The Chinese designs of the OPTCG are always great. I hope you get it one day!

[rose rune]

👁️ 👁️ 👁️
👄

[glacial bear]

The Sanji one looks cool from that Chinese 1st anniversary set

[runic dock]

Is this not available in other languages? Super ultra mega rare?

[iron oriole]

Its the dream to get it as a PSA 10 or even a BGS Pristine 10

[iron oriole]

Nope, specifically for the Chinese 1st anni of the TCG

[runic dock]

Damn

That’s crazy

I’ve seen Korean packs but I haven’t even seen Chinese packs

[iron oriole]

My friend owns this from the same set, iirc this is a 1 out of 500 card

[rose rune]

I love that they remembered her trademark daggers. even Oda forget to draw those

[runic dock]

Sheesh

Why are the Chinese cards so fire wtf
