Bro looks like the devil boss from black myth mixed with Sun wukong

Yeah

[analog goblet]

and bro turned everything evil in the radius , man said u got drums of liberation i git drums of doom and dispear

[muted hedge]

i'm telling you i need to see them surf on a black cloud like the nimbus cloud

[runic dock]

That’s another crazy detail

Like wtf honestly

How , why

Dark BM soul powers?

[analog goblet]

bro got evil beats loadout

[pulsar path]

I have a theory he may be the only male from Amazon lilly ....hence the snake like ribbon and the three skulls and the reference to Zelda lol

[analog goblet]

[muted hedge]

the trees and houses are chanting for the devils arrival

can't wait for toei to cook with this

[runic dock]

BOA UPSCALE

[analog goblet]

i saw that the trees turned evil i said

aaaaaawww heeellll nawww

ussop do something

[muted hedge]

also appears that a border is being made for where Imu is going to land

[urban lodge]

That sequence will be so insanely cool animated

[muted hedge]

it's also interesting that Imu descends while the gorosei all ascended from the pentagram

[fallen meteor]

here's how imu can still be a woman

[pine scaffold]

The strongest character in all of history.

[pulsar path]

Hell yeah even tho she kinda allready top of the scale 😍

[fallen meteor]

omg hathor its bee so long

[runic dock]

This is also how he can still be a woman

[urban lodge]

Post the Hathor sticker one more time and I'll send you to the shadow realm

[runic dock]

The cocoon body is a woman

[analog goblet]

and nami said " WHAT IS THAT RUMBILING " just put the fries in the bag twin

[pine scaffold]

imagine how fucking hype it would be seeing BB as a demon wielding Yami and Gura

CMON

[pulsar path]

Lol they just use jpegs....sorry no I feel like being mean to toei

[stone terrace]

Shout out hathor

[muted hedge]

meh

[runic dock]

Darkness fruit seems like a facet of Imu’s fruit

They go together

[wet condor]

I hadn't seen him in a while

[forest jacinth]

What even happened to hathor

[muted hedge]

it wouldn't fit Blackbeard at all

[wet condor]

Did he get banned?

[urban lodge]

No

[fallen meteor]

damn what

that long ago??

[runic dock]

I bet someone split off part of imus power into the darkness fruit , or some shit

[pulsar path]

I do not want BB to become a demon

I want him to destroy him in every way

[analog goblet]

come on now

[muted hedge]

Blackbeard doesn't suit the demonic stuff

[urban lodge]

Apparently he is married and has a child so maybe he's doing something better with his life now

[muted hedge]

just let him be a walking black hole with earthquake powers

[runic dock]

It’s not like imu has wings , bb can be a demon without wings

Not the sticker lol

[forest jacinth]

[muted hedge]

pardon

[analog goblet]

how come vega punk never said anything about black beards fruit

[pine scaffold]

its even more secret than the Nika

[analog goblet]

that's what i'm saying they said that this fruit has been "evading" them for years how tf bro do that he got feet ?

[muted hedge]

chalk it up to fate

[prisma idol]

4-5 months give or take

[analog goblet]

moving like a legendary pokémon u try to catch it it flys to a diffrent region on the map

https://tenor.com/view/pointed-nose-dog-nose-dog-dog-pointed-dog-dog-smell-gif-8368977857789757078

you are thinking too literal, evading means shit like Shanks stealing the fruit etc

[frigid gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/law-blackbeard-devil-fruit-kurozu-yami-gif-8963305209783234247

[muted hedge]

Blackbeard needs to see a dentist

Xebec had good teeth

[analog goblet]

i feel like that's just one of the ways they haven't been able to get the fruit they just got it and it got stolen how long have they been trying to get it

[fallen meteor]

he did once in 581

[analog goblet]

no oda said he forgets to draw all his teeth sometimes or some shit back int he day someone asked him about this

[muted hedge]

oh right, lol

[urban lodge]

He drank milk

[runic dock]

That’s some take over ability shit , when he appears currently he’s got no wings , at least so far

[muted hedge]

he should drink milk more often

[analog goblet]

that too drinking milk heals them

but luffy gets energy from meat

[muted hedge]

he could probably manifest them with the snap of his fingers, lol
but yeah so far he has none

[wraith mantle]

i am still wondering what the emotional payoff moment in elbaf will be

[analog goblet]

black beard loves pies

[runic dock]

True , if he gave gorosei their powers lol

[analog goblet]

someone is going to die

[wraith mantle]

jarul yeah

[analog goblet]

i feel it

[brittle basin]

yeah but will the person who dies actually matter?

[dark nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/ugh-awful-gross-eww-gif-4897344

[analog goblet]

bro ussop had a death card in one of the sb scans

[brittle basin]

usopp is not dying. let's be realistic.

i say it to joke, but usopp is not dying.

[analog goblet]

bros bones are all broken right now

regular human btw

[brittle basin]

kill someone like loki or hajrudin instead

[analog goblet]

loki

noo not my dawg

[brittle basin]

see how you reacted?

that's why he should die

[analog goblet]

[urban lodge]

I want Dorry and Broggy to die but Oda already had the opportunity and didn't kill them so they'll probably be fine

[brittle basin]

death should hurt and have consequences

[analog goblet]

come i'll give u a hug bro i'm a ussop fan but hes ussless man

[brittle basin]

dorry and brogy dying could've been fucking sick

the LA will fix that thankfully

Unlike Oda, the LA has balls

[analog goblet]

would of been simbolic but no we can't lose them they are to tuff

[dark nymph]

most relevant character that could die is Jarul

[prisma idol]

I want someone to die here against Imu to actually get them to feel really intimidating, not that they aren't

[brittle basin]

that's why they should die. what's the point of a character dying if you don't feel anything from it.

[wraith mantle]

i dont know if i will actually be super sad about haj or loki dying icl

[analog goblet]

you understand everything i was about to type

[urban lodge]

Kill Usopp

[brittle basin]

You would feel Loki's death more than Hajrudin or Jarul that's for sure

[muted hedge]

Jarul has to go

[analog goblet]

see who's my pfp that's who's i miss the most

[dark nymph]

Elbaf shall be Usopps grave 🙏

[prisma idol]

I've unironically seen this take so much

[brittle basin]

but Jarul is low hanging fruit for death

[prisma idol]

😭

https://tenor.com/view/gear-death-gear-5-luffy-gwar-dwarh-gif-4718287836640823119

[dark nymph]

exactly and this is Oda so

[brittle basin]

watch the live action

[urban lodge]

I did NOT make this gif btw

[scenic dirge]

Why does everyone think usopp is about to die lol? Did I miss something?

[stone terrace]

AND I WOULD BE THERE

[analog goblet]

[wraith mantle]

maybe if loki dies sacrificing himself to protect elbaf, fulfilling harald's dreams

maybe, although i also want his death to tie in to his admiration of rocks as well

[brittle basin]

the live action is doing the bare minimum by adding real consequences to actions

[dark nymph]

.

[pulsar path]

Instill think this is just Domi or Gunkos power

[prisma idol]

I believe that one is mostly a joke

[ashen perch]

I dont know who made it honestly, I just saw this in manga the other day lmao

[wraith mantle]

if a strawhat gotta die, make it jimbei

[muted hedge]

i don't

[wraith mantle]

bro doesn't even fit in

[brittle basin]

that sounds great to me. just because someone has a sad backstory does not mean they don't get to die that's for sure.

[pulsar path]

I mean every Domi person gets wings

[scenic dirge]

that's gotta be racist

[urban lodge]

I think it was Lemony but I'm not sure

[analog goblet]

community just saying hes ussless blah blah blah ( i'm a ussop fan)

[muted hedge]

what the fuck dude

[thin quest]

Usopp can't die because he hasn't met Yasopp yet

[prisma idol]

The people on the list from highest to lowest death possibility I see are:

1. Jarul
2. Broggy
3. Dorry
4. Gaban

[pulsar timber]

Jimbei hate in 2026 warms my heart

[wet condor]

Jimbei dying would fit anyways with what he's already done for Luffy. He gave him blood

[dark nymph]

diversity hire

[ashen perch]

theres like absolutely no chance of a crewmember dying here, and even in the final war theres maybe a 5% chance

[pulsar timber]

This fandom truly isn’t changing

[scenic dirge]

There's a 0% chance

[brittle basin]

he's always been a coward. but he has his moments. and elbaf is the perfect time for an usopp arc. but oda hates me

[scenic dirge]

ever

[wraith mantle]

yeah oda better start getting cozy with killing people off

need those stakes raised sky high in the final saga

[thin quest]

Jinbei has been reduced to being a firefighter

[wet condor]

Crazy

[pulsar path]

Brook but...he's already dead....yohohohohohoh

[pulsar timber]

I think will die

[urban lodge]

He even lost that to Nami recently

[ashen perch]

what if everybody dies because the timeloop theory is true

[prisma idol]

Thinking a SH is dying is crazy yeah

[gloomy tree]

i love Jinbei, he is the goat

[pulsar path]

Brook could die

[brittle basin]

yeah if we're not getting big deaths in the final saga, it really lowers the stakes and tension

[ashen perch]

bluko have you seen the timeloop theory, youd like it

[prisma idol]

I havent

[latent hamlet]

He cant
He already dead

[pulsar timber]

How could anyone like a timeloop theory

[latent hamlet]

YOHOHOHOHOHO

[brittle basin]

Oda almost has to over deliver to make up for all the mediocre deaths in the series.

[wraith mantle]

yohohohohohoh

[pulsar timber]

Evan will that person die this arc?

[scenic dirge]

I feel like the only way they survive Imu here is due to whatever nerf he has from leaving Marie Geoise

[wet condor]

Usopp dying makes the most out of any of the SH deaths. But it's not happening here

[brittle basin]

like honestly? just have Imu fucking nuke the entire grand fleet.

[latent hamlet]

Remember

If a SH dies
People will not celebrate that a SH died
They will say "why them? It should be this one instead"

It is destiny

[prisma idol]

I did see people theorizing that IMU is going to die here

[pulsar path]

Tbh why the f isn't he doing this now!

[analog goblet]

killed ace woth rage bait nah someone better die soon

[brittle basin]

eh that's fine. but also boring

[muted hedge]

anyways people, i'm going to take a break this break week
so see y'all when the next chapter is on it's way

take care 👋

[pulsar path]

Why even f with elbaf just nuke it

[ashen perch]

So Nami is stuck in a timeloop. The idea is that we're seeing an iteration of the loop playing out once again, and the beginning of the loop is Nami being told to wake up by a mysterious voice (Imu?). This is just yet another attempt at trying to finally resolve the situation and escape the loop basically.

In writing, starting a story by waking up in a very specific way is one of the few guarantees of a specific storyline:

Time loop

I think things are building to an unassailable point, where the only way to win... is to return to the start amd try again.

X · Apr 2, 2026, 11:19 PM

[ruby cape]

Imu showing up and dying in the same arc I’d hate that shit

[wraith mantle]

idk how oda is gonna play this

luffy and loki theoretically should be strong enough to fend off imu atp

[ashen perch]

its about Nami, thats why I said that

[wraith mantle]

but will oda make imu look bad in his first fight? idk

[analog goblet]

it's a copy not actually him

[prisma idol]

Which isnt happening. But they were saying thag the consequences the Gorosei were talking about was death

[pulsar path]

It's the sunny clobberonocker

[brittle basin]

something important there? lack of fuel via the mother flame? maybe they love elbaf deep down (he has an elbaf belt lol)?

[pulsar timber]

What the hell

[trim lily]

someone genuinely thinking one of the final big villains of the series will die in their first major appearance

[brittle basin]

no that's 100% him. Oda made that clear as glass.

[ashen perch]

klabautermann

[dapper tree]

Elbaf is too big

[pulsar timber]

Gotta be one of the worst theories I’ve ever seen

[pulsar path]

Maybeeee but like sidenote why ant they making. A good machine.

[pulsar timber]

Why would you even want that to be true

[wraith mantle]

imu dying, and garling ascending to power maybe?

idk

[dapper tree]

Imu is gonna be winning

[brittle basin]

they suck?

[urban lodge]

It's really intriguing how often OP fans want bad things to happen

[pulsar path]

Yes lmao

[prisma idol]

Im of the thought the consequences are:

1. Damage, he clearly took a little when leaving, but not enough to say he is dying
2. Revealing himself to the world, he can no longer hide his existence with his arrival, and I dont think we will ever see blob mu again

[dapper tree]

Then Dragon will save the day

[ashen perch]

I lowkey mess with it I am ngl, even though theres no chance

[brittle basin]

Charlie Sheen style

[dapper tree]

[pulsar path]

Food machine** I mean but they hungry and shit!!

[trim lily]

timeloops can be fun but absolutely not in our current scenario

[brittle basin]

they're an idiot?

[prisma idol]

People cook up some crazy stuff

[pulsar path]

True tho

[analog goblet]

i feel like it's a copy but that form is just very hard to hold what if that's someone already dead and that's a domi revers awakening and the next person they could bring back is also dead

[thin quest]

the SHs need to take a L but it won't be a major one

[wraith mantle]

only person who can save the crew is shanks, arnolt, or zombie rocks

[brittle basin]

it would be a twist. not the best one, mind you.

[trim lily]

lol louis arnot

[pulsar path]

Like I'm really kinda like how did the CDs not die form disease in the last 800 years 🤣

[brittle basin]

this is one of those things you just have to handwave away

[wraith mantle]

dragon should be way too busy with his rev stuff

[ashen perch]

its going to be none of these people

it will be Dragon

[serene plume]

chopper dies and ragnir takes over as mascot animal since him and Loki are a pair and you cant have an extra crewmate

[ashen perch]

and Biblo

[pulsar path]

Could make it a 🍩

[urban lodge]

Is it crazy that I think zombie Rocks is the least bad option here because of how funny it would be

[wraith mantle]

i mean dragon makes sense sort of since the news of luffy escaping egghead with the giants are spread globally

[pulsar path]

Lmao true

[dapper tree]

Dragon finally does something

[wet condor]

Dragon is actually a good choice for someone to save them here

[dark nymph]

rip Brook Gunkmu theory

[wraith mantle]

only took 30 years

[trim lily]

i feel like dragon is busy with mariejois right now

[serene plume]

He starts looking west

[dapper tree]

Dragon will save Elbaf

[wet condor]

It'd be a good time for him to be relevant

[prisma idol]

Its an interesting concept. I imagine the loop restarts over and over when they are like killed or something, so imagine a chaoter ends with imu killing everyone and then the loop happens

But idk if oda would do that

[pulsar path]

Dragon has to take some damage tho

[trim lily]

why would he travel a million kilometers to elbaf

[pulsar path]

Like lose an eye ....

[dapper tree]

It's gonna happen for real

[stone terrace]

Dragon in chapter 1200

[dapper tree]

For Imu ass

[prisma idol]

Not even a good one lmfao

[analog goblet]

but fr what if this is just his devil fruit awakening and this body is a someone they already killed

[wraith mantle]

dragon will finally help kuma for once

[trim lily]

he magically knows the knights and imu are at elbaf

[wraith mantle]

its gonna be peak

[dapper tree]

[wet condor]

He's not in Marie Geoise is he?

[wraith mantle]

loool yeah ngl i dont want zombie rocks

[urban lodge]

Dragon uses his angelic teleportation that he's been hiding all along to go to Elbaf

[brittle basin]

Why is Dragon showing up and repeating what he did in Loguetown?

[trim lily]

probably not but hes also not close to elbaf

[wraith mantle]

dragon is gonna ride the storms

[dapper tree]

MORIA HYPE

[stone terrace]

Final saga loguetown

[ashen perch]

yk that would be Oda essentially recreating the moment in Sabaody where for a bit it almost seemed like Kuma just really killed them all lol. Not happening though, but yeah

[stone terrace]

Smoker is coming

[trim lily]

actually isnt kamabakka on the other side of the red line

[analog goblet]

smoker is with the revolutionary army

[prisma idol]

It is

[ashen perch]

I can explain

[wet condor]

I don't even remember where he is. I just said Dragon is a good choice because we're in the final stretches of the story and all of these reveals are happening. So this would be a decent time to make him relevant. I don't know why exactly he'd show up to Elbaph but I'm looking at it from more of a meta point of view

[trim lily]

can dragon teleport now

[analog goblet]

why it reply to u lol

[dapper tree]

Yes

[prisma idol]

No

[dapper tree]

He's wind

[brittle basin]

I'm all ears.

[ashen perch]

I explained it here

[dapper tree]

Dragon in saving elbaf also shows that he's actually strong and not a fraud

[ashen perch]

the idea would be for Dragon to already be sailing towards Elbaf for reasons described above, him saving Luffy would just be a coincidence

[wraith mantle]

also why is the holy land on fire, is it under attack or are the CDs rioting cause no food

[trim lily]

under attack

[analog goblet]

this makes hella sense

[wet condor]

I've wondered that too

[trim lily]

i dont see any world in which its the CDs causing that

[urban lodge]

They only mentioned the famine so I idk

I think it's just the CDs

[wet condor]

They're just burning shit down lol

[dapper tree]

RAs done less damage to the holy land than the celestial dragons have done.

[trim lily]

one of them tried to use the stove

[wet condor]

lol

[brittle basin]

This sounds neat. But I don't remember how the world knows they are in Elbaf.

[ashen perch]

the giant captains

[dapper tree]

The giants showing up in egghead

[ashen perch]

they sailed away with the elbaf's legendary pirates on their legendary ship lol

[analog goblet]

they don't know do they ? they might know because the giants waa woth them ans whats close to egg head

[brittle basin]

but how did the world know that? that's the part I'm forgetting.

[trim lily]

news morgans

[ashen perch]

oh I mean Morgans

[brittle basin]

did he report on that?

[ashen perch]

yeah

[trim lily]

he was doing a live reaction

[brittle basin]

i'll need to see it again

[ashen perch]

their bounty was updated remember

[prisma idol]

@ashen perch I would agree with the time loop thing if Oda had set up or shown people questioning hey this feels familiar or hey something is off here. But we dont really have that throughout the arc

[stone terrace]

Dragon is entering usopp territory where if i have hope in him he disappoints me

So i will simply not have hope

[wraith mantle]

we have the scene where nami was woken up

and nami sensing imu's arrival, idk that can be recontextualized as a timeloop feeling

[prisma idol]

Throughout the arc

[trim lily]

someone pointed this out earlier but man they all hate his ass lmao

garlic spends a good few minutes talking and peter just goes "...anyway"

[prisma idol]

Not just a scene, that can be written off as her waking up from the gas

[ashen perch]

here Buffy

[analog goblet]

we can't put dragon on ussop level because hes the "leader of what" i don't think he just got the name worlds most wanted man for nothing and his son is who? yeah he gotta keep that secret

[prisma idol]

I unironically have garling as my second favorite now

Of the gorosei

[trim lily]

it is a bit endearing how out of their group he is

[prisma idol]

Mars still top 1

[ruby cape]

Their homie died they grieving 😭😭

[ashen perch]

hypothetically, that could be saved for the next iteration

[wraith mantle]

mars needs to sit his ass down

[prisma idol]

I like that he is a warhawk

[runic dock]

The dichotomy between them is really interesting , it’s like looking at two different kinds of brown noses , the old gorosei seem to have gotten more complacent over the years , Garling is pro active

[brittle basin]

OK thanks, I see what you mean now.

[trim lily]

im still a bit confused on this panel

[analog goblet]

yeah knowing oda and flashbacks we getting a lili , flash back, a imu flash back , a joy boy flash back , and a WG flash back for where it all started one piece aint ending any time soon

[trim lily]

i assume its imu saying it but why

[warm sierra]

Wdym

[ashen perch]

no its Roger's iconic line

[final trench]

Thats the great pirate era

When roger told niggas to find the OP

[runic dock]

I think it’s not imu saying it , these are clips from points in time , it’s Roger saying seek out the one piece

[prisma idol]

Imu watched the execution

[ashen perch]

SEEK IT OUT, I left it all there... etc

[trim lily]

i thought that at first but why is it the only dialogue of the 8 to not be from imu

[wet condor]

I thought it was kind of weird tool. Not this particular line, but that whole sequence. Sometimes it's clear who's saying what and other times it's not

[runic dock]

Literally

[prisma idol]

Rocks is as well

[trim lily]

oh right

i forgot him lol

[wet condor]

Yeah Rocks is

[runic dock]

It’s pretty significant , I would guess is why

[trim lily]

nevermind

[analog goblet]

i feel like it's just the information on how to win vs the world government

[wet condor]

Now that panel with Whitebeard and Luffy

I coudln't tell if that was Imu or not

[runic dock]

Also shirahoshi , those lines didn’t come from imu I believe

They sound familiar

[wet condor]

but I'm assuming it's not just becasue he's talking normal without the old English

[trim lily]

i assume its imu talking to the gorosei

[ashen perch]

yeah, I imagine its Imu remembering the time he watched Roger's execution

[dark nymph]

what about the last two with wb and bb, imu's thoughts?

[trim lily]

he was having a watch party with them

[trim lily]

the butterfly is a nice touch

[ashen perch]

its probably a conversation with the Gorosei

[runic dock]

Check your mentions

[trim lily]

i kind of hope the butterfly thing applies to imu more than just their hobby

[analog goblet]

does anyone have imu panel before he transformed woth all the pics of everyone

[runic dock]

Me too

[wet condor]

The right one is I guess the Marines talking. The Whitebeard and Luffy panels idk really but I guess not Imu. Maybe the Gorosei?

Maybe it's Imu asking the question and the Gorosei responding

[trim lily]

gimme butterfly wings with imu eyes

[analog goblet]

why is he asking these questions

[trim lily]

because imu doesnt know them

[wet condor]

Imu: Why would Whitebeard protect that young man? Who is he?
Gorosei: Monkey D. Luffy
Imu: And that one?
Gorosei: Marshall D. Teach

[trim lily]

they dont strike me as someone who really keeps up with world affairs

[ashen perch]

there's a lot

[trim lily]

thats the gorosei's job

[wet condor]

That makes a lot of sense but it doesn't fit with Imu's regular diction

[wet condor]

@vital heart Do you know who is talking here?

[analog goblet]

nah i need the next chapter but we on break

[ruby cape]

Yeah I read it like this

[wet condor]

This must be during Marineford and asking the Gorosei questions because he doesn't know the people there

[brittle basin]

i'm happy for this break week. you take the time to absorb this one

[ruby cape]

The intel part would be the elders or someone

[wet condor]

Imu's watching it live I guess

[hollow dove]

So what’s the prevailing theory on the pirate Shamrock discussed with the Gorosei now? Partly why I ask is because this latest chapter seems to heavily hinder Luffy and Blackbeard’s chances.

This panel of Imu takes place a chapter before Shamrock even met the Gorosei, for example. Imu seems to have already known everything there was needed to know about them. Their connections to Davy / Joyboy, fruits, etc

[analog goblet]

but this one's crazy !!! how u just gonna drop imu on us ans leave us to think like nah i'm going crazy

[vital heart]

Roger is saying this U DOLT

[trim lily]

youre right my bad meek

i cant believe i was so foolish to assume otherwise

[brittle basin]

yeah, i like that for the imu reveal.

[vital heart]

Shamrock talked about Loki I think. "There's a pirate I want to talk to you about... His name is Loki. I want to recruit him to join our ranks". I think that's what the full sentence was. Thoughts?

[analog goblet]

oda this whole 2 arks

straight heat

[dark nymph]

bit underwhelming

[thin quest]

Imu kinda a twink

[quiet sentinel]

dont talk abt my husband like that

[hollow dove]

I think Loki is a bit of odd choice too, just because Shamrock still took like 2 momths in-story to actually act on that if it was him, lol

[brittle basin]

man. it was so much more interesting when we thought it was shanks

[hollow dove]

Then again, Shamrock’s kinda having daft allegations for actively trying to recruit Loki unbeknowest of what fruit he even had for sure

I get Loki’s still crazy strong without a fruit, but cmon guys get your intel stable lol

[trim lily]

hey it was worth a shot

maybe loki didnt like elbaf after being chained up for 5 years

[warm sierra]

They tried to get intel but road disrupted that did you read the chapters?

[ashen perch]

no it takes place after

[vital heart]

?

[stone terrace]

Imu somehow didnt put 2 and 2 together that loki was fackin nidhogg

[ashen perch]

Imu is seen holding some posters before Shamrock meets the Gorosei
Imu slices them up after the meeting

[vital heart]

no it wasnt

[trim lily]

calling loki a certain pirate feels kind of stupid, cause wouldnt he better known as the prince of elbaf

[stone terrace]

The wg info network is something

[vital heart]

nah, he was literally hated by that fucking country

[brittle basin]

sorry, but shamrock bores me by comparison.

[trim lily]

he was still the prince of elbaf

[brittle basin]

actually, shamrock bores me in general

[hollow dove]

Ah I see, but Imu had been slicing the posters up before the Gorosei actually fot the talk to Imu about the contents of the meeting, most likely?

[vital heart]

its like calling princess diana the princess of england. like hell no, iirc she was hated by half of england when she died

[hollow dove]

Unless the Elders transponder snail’d him the info before going to his throne 😅

[trim lily]

i think you would still know her as the princess of england first

[ashen perch]

he slices them up just the page before we see the Gorosei kneel to him

[trim lily]

especially to an outsider

[ruby cape]

Hell no we didn’t hate Diana!

😭 😭

[trim lily]

meek lying...

[ashen perch]

this is what we get before the meeting

which is still interesting

[stone terrace]

Meek is secretly irish

[brittle basin]

yeah i was about to say. the tabloids especially loved her though.

[dark nymph]

keeping her ex's clothes

[vital heart]

Oh. I thought you guys had a black princess too. Didnt the racists of england hate her?

[ruby cape]

We have Meghan who’s a Duchess and yeah racists hate her

[hollow dove]

Dang, Imu.walked a mini-marathon through the castle floors from one chap to another

[leaden rivet]

Imu having his crown could’ve been a cool part of his design

[vital heart]

Duchess princess same thing effectively

[ruby cape]

Andrew’s hated the most tho

[shrewd topaz]

It's probably his zoan transformation and not his og design

[fast pagoda]

I want to see this Imu in a crown and veil

Imu not having it when his face is first revealed makes sense though

He doesnt want to be known as king of the world

[ruby cape]

I hope it does remain on his final true form whatever that is meant to be, don’t think it’s the one Sabo faced either

[torn kite]

You know all the straw hats need to do to defeat imu is kill the holy knights that should weaken him enough

[ruby cape]

Keeping the crown on is just a reminder you’re fighting the king of the world and not just a devil. Small things

[ruby cape]

He pulled up cause the holy knights weren’t enough lol

[fast pagoda]

That wont be enough to beat him

[torn kite]

I mean, bro is already coughing up blood and stuff so he’s obviously weakened outside the holy land and it’s been shown killing a holy knight weakens or harms him so I think it should be enough or it should be enough for Luffy and Loki the finish them off

[dense haven]

they aint ready

elbaf will fail

[brittle basin]

Imu is winning, but I don't think Elbaf is being destroyed.

the heaven realm probably is relevant

[ruby cape]

ohhh that thing in 1171 my bad

I forgot

If something is happening around Marineford they must have as goal to free Impel Down prisoners.

It could be Cross Guild and they are finally making their move, or Buckin trying to free Weevil...

X · Apr 3, 2026, 2:45 AM

[analog goblet]

all the admirals are all doing something atm?

All?

all

[warm sierra]

Wouldnt it be more bc Marineford is close to MJ?

[torn kite]

Yeah, killing a holy knight seems to do something to imu so if the straw hats were to kill like three of them, it should weaken him enough for Luffy and Loki to finish them off or for Imu to have to retreat

[ornate tartan]

bouta catch sanji slipping

[analog goblet]

what are they doing

tied with what?

[brittle basin]

marijoa issues.

[ornate tartan]

something we will find out soon

[analog goblet]

how much of them do they need ? all of them?

[shrewd topaz]

Fisher tiger successor just emerged

[royal orchid]

oda isn't letting us know what's happening around navy bases

[analog goblet]

so it's safe to say black beard and the revalutionary army is there

[brittle basin]

lafitte is I think?

[hollow dove]

But anyway, I think I didnt explain myself well enough earlier.

I’ve just been thinking that if the suspect of Imu’s newfound knowledge on a “certain pirate” thanks to Shamrock was supposed to be Luffy, Loki, or Blackbeard, I’d have expected it wouldn’t be revealed vaguely in a one-off panel like these, without proper clarity on what knowledge Imu actually has only because of Shamrock’s meeting.

And if Shamrock’s discussed knowledge still hasn’t been clearly shown even in these panels if it’s supposed to actually be clear, then what’s the holdup?

[shrewd topaz]

Stand d ars

[analog goblet]

but look how long they left egg head after touching saturn

[brittle basin]

i can't keep up with what's happening at what time in this story. it's a bit too much.

[analog goblet]

u good

[shrewd topaz]

Prolly the pirate he is talking about is loki. He showed interest even on his intro in elbaph. He wanted harald son in holy knights

[ruby cape]

Like an object-master relationship yeah it makes sense as to make Imu more mortal and vulnerable, though with how the knights are right now and Imu having to pulling up looks like it defo won’t go that way

[brittle basin]

one piece is needlessly complicated at times, so it gets hard keeping up with all the little details

[warm sierra]

we desperately need a cutaway from elbaf but its also not the right moment at all rn

[ruby cape]

The time constraint is the big part which is probably what’s happening otherwise I don’t see a consequence for Imu unless Oda pulls one out

Imu will be out for as long as they can till they have to withdraw

[iron oriole]

if Oda was a rage baiter he'd cutaway now

[analog goblet]

nahhh man

[royal orchid]

[slams table] garp [slams table] story [slams table] cutaway [slams table] immediately

[analog goblet]

rereading this chapter is giving me super ptsd

[haughty saddle]

KOBY TIME BABY

[royal orchid]

oh but if I say Koby and Bogard secret Garp rescue mission

society calls me delusional

[warm sierra]

koby training arc

[haughty saddle]

Blackbeard invades Wano while SWORD invades Hachinosou

[iron oriole]

careful you might break the table & then it'll be unable to turn

[haughty saddle]

I also have a feeling the Big Mom Pirates are gonna be semi-relevant soon

[rich hornet]

They will be, but in BMP fashion, like the fights with Urouge, Kid, etc it will all be off screen

[haughty saddle]

There is zero chance that Katakuri doesn’t pursue Pudding’s captors and at least TRY to get her back

[royal orchid]

[breaks table in half by accident]

[both sides spin around and the table is technically upside down now]

...
oh look how the tables-

[haughty saddle]

I’d be fine with that, honestly

It just makes no sense for them to abandon their little sister amidst all this. Especially now that Katakuri is probably top dog in their crew at least by respect.

[hollow dove]

So if that’s the case, the weird thing to me is that it hasn’t been clearly stated at all yet. That’s just the implication right now.

When Shamrock actually came to Elbaph, we get no hard evidence of continuity to Shamrock reminiscing about that Gorosei meeting. Nor Imu flash-backing to being relayed info of the meeting between Sham and the Gorosei in this latest chapter.

All Loki got from Imu is like a 7 years ago or something flashback of Imu finding out Loki’s the foggy captain.

If the series ends and we never get more context to that meeting, I’d fully concede the implication of it being Loki has to be true. But I’ve been feeling a bit more suspicious than ever currently

[haughty saddle]

If it’s just a reference to them being annoying gnats or something from a BBP I’d be chill with it

[iron oriole]

[quiet ice]

So do you think it’s still some unrevealed pirate?

There’s a thought

I guess joyboy will have the eyepatch huh? Hadn’t really thought about it but if he’s the first pirate I’d imagine he’d look the part

[tough igloo]

yeah at this point either Joyboy or Davy Jones will have the eyepatch

both were pirates

[shrewd topaz]

Yh i understand the point. It could be someone else or there is a detail which is too early to reveal or smth

[grand flower]

I feel like we may get an Imu flashback

Starting next chapter

[tough igloo]

a imu flashback sounds too good to be true lol i would love that though 🔥

[ruby cape]

Highkey hope so man

I don’t think starting next chapter but potentially this arc

[brittle basin]

no imu flashback plz. only an ancient kingdom flashback with imu involved.

[ruby cape]

Depends ngl an Imu flashback would potentially show us the immortality surgery. been waiting for that for god knows

Either that or we kill law #killhim

[brittle basin]

i would expect all that in the ancient kingdom flashback

[forest jacinth]

Imu flashback

[dense haven]

void century flashback will be as bad as dog valley

[brittle basin]

i'd personally prefer to see imu wreck shit before getting any kind of flashback. it's exhausting after having recently finished the long Rocks flashback

[rich hornet]

We could get a limited Imu flashback so the actual VC one won’t be as long

[dense haven]

what about the brook flashback

[ruby cape]

too many flashbacks bruh fuck them all

[ashen perch]

yeah no I can't see it happening lol, I think we will get Imu in Brook/Gunko's flashback soon and that is about it

[rich hornet]

That’s for EOS when we meet laboon again. It will all tie together

[brittle basin]

brook/gunko flashback is hopefully short and sweet

and then she dies

goda

[ashen perch]

hopefully youre wrong :/

its going to be 6 chapters and we will all love it

[brittle basin]

kill me

[ruby cape]

kill one of the knights to have some damage done to imu

Gunko gotta go

[fast pagoda]

No I think YOU should go

[rich hornet]

Shuri is only redeemed in death

[ashen perch]

I will never say no to flashbacks

[forest jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-woah-hold-up-wait-gif-5693923

[fast pagoda]

Anyone who thinks Gunko will die is a fraud sorry

Shes the goat

[ruby cape]

https://tenor.com/view/rinauchis-cocobearkins-gif-6126126835624665580

[brittle basin]

you just like her legs

[ashen perch]

the Brook/Gunko flashback isnt even the only remaining flashback of the arc

[forest jacinth]

Gunko is pretty cool

[fast pagoda]

You know what you said

[ruby cape]

we got Sommers and Killingham and you go for Gunko

come on do better

[fast pagoda]

It could happen next arc

[fast pagoda]

Exactly

Two bums and the goat

[ruby cape]

ranking

1. Sommers
2. Killingham
3. Gunko

[forest jacinth]

Sommers can die

[ashen perch]

well I find that extremely unlikely

[forest jacinth]

Bye Sommers

[rich hornet]

She’s won’t die but get ready for her to turn 70

[fast pagoda]

Anyways, I was going to ask something

[brittle basin]

Sommers is far more interesting than Gunko for now, 'cause that's his real personality and it's hilarious

killingham is just a boring pretty boy

[fast pagoda]

Do yall think Luffy will also be able to turn objects alive when he masters Gear 5?

[ruby cape]

especially with how he’s been played around in elbaf

Sommers is great

[brittle basin]

Sommers is the linchpin holding the god's knights together

[fast pagoda]

Gunko is awesome, she's ruthless but has a cute side

[fast pagoda]

Fuck did he do?

[brittle basin]

it's not her though. not her real self.

[fast pagoda]

I like him but all he does is lose

[fast pagoda]

It's part of her

[forest jacinth]

I fw Killingham's design ngl

[brittle basin]

he's interesting. he has real, tangible personality.

you love to hate him basically. that's a good thing

[ruby cape]

imu turns them evil and Luffy turns them good playing a game of reversi

[brittle basin]

gunko makes me feeling nothing

neither does killingham

the only things they have going for them is powers and visuals. which can be nice in and of themselves.

[rich hornet]

Killingham was cool before he transformed

[brittle basin]

he was 10x cooler in the dragon form.

[fast pagoda]

I agree

[brittle basin]

a top tier design

[fast pagoda]

But I meant, as being a lynchpin for the God's Knights

[brittle basin]

he's a lynchpin insofar as making the god's knights interesting. without him, they may as well just not exist

[fast pagoda]

Powers are a major part of OP characters

All the knights have cool powers

[brittle basin]

i want character and powers

[fast pagoda]

Much better than the Gorosei

[fast pagoda]

Gunko and Killingham absolutely have character

[urban lodge]

They have pretty strong characterization

[brittle basin]

croc has power and character for example

[fast pagoda]

Killingham was better before he went hybrid though

[rich hornet]

Killingham has a character but yeesh

[urban lodge]

Even if that's not Gunko's "real self"

[brittle basin]

gunko isn't even gunko, just whatever she was shaped into against her will. she likes music i guess????

killingham is just "fuck you fishmen"

[fast pagoda]

That wasnt until recently

[forest jacinth]

Fr

[brittle basin]

but sommers is stupidly evil, and it aids in his presentation

[tawny ocean]

Ngl, I kind of hate Imu’s goofy ahh blade

[fast pagoda]

Killingham's thing was narcolepsy and him seeming unassuming but being ruthless

[ruby cape]

gunko’s memories was a reawakening bit I really liked that part. Sommers tho tops the list

[fast pagoda]

Gunko is meant to be a quiet and ruthless person but also has sudden bursts of emotions she's bad at hiding

[brittle basin]

gunko will probably become more interesting once she awakens. I think. could be massive memory loss.

[rich hornet]

Sommers elevates this arc is a major way. Maybe even MVP

[tawny ocean]

Sommers is a national treasure

[signal fiber]

There is no maybe

[brittle basin]

The GKs are already mediocre in their overall presentation. Sommers is the lynchpin in that regard.

[tawny ocean]

Something about comically evil villains that are a bit goofy/incompetent is something I love

[forest jacinth]

MVP will be Mr "this is his arc" Usopp

[urban lodge]

There's a lot of subtext to what she says, just look at her dialogue with Loki and the kids

[fast pagoda]

Her interaction with Loki is very interesting

[tawny ocean]

I will say, Elbaf is huge on lore and everything but imo Egghead is still far in the lead as one of my favorite arcs post time skip

[brittle basin]

The lore keeps me interested. But it's paling compared to Egghead.

[fast pagoda]

Killingham after he went hybrid feels like a different character entirely

Which might be the point

[brittle basin]

probably, still boring

[fast pagoda]

Egghead is way worse than this arc

[forest jacinth]

Elbaf is pretty cool

[ruby cape]

dudes so sadistic he laughs to the point of crying, and you got the dense humorous moments, being shown as a gourmet all of that contrasting with his position as a holy knight and the general expectation of having a more serious somewhat professional demeanour affiliated with it, Sommers is actually amazing bruh

dude’s is a top elbaf character

[fast pagoda]

Egghead has cool lore moments and a good flashback but the Egghead incident was kinda blegh to me

[brittle basin]

egghead had to glued to my seat from beginning to end.

https://kotaku.com/one-piece-netflix-live-action-mackenyu-interview-esquire-ai-singapore-2000684648 DUDE this is so funny lmaoooo

[brittle basin]

elbaf is hit or miss depending on the week. and rocks is still the shining thing in Elbaf.

[fast pagoda]

As soon as all 5 gorosei appeared on the island I liked Egghead a lot less

I dont like Rocks and the flashback at all

Maybe thats a bit harsh, I liked some aspects to the flashback

I think we just have different tastes

[urban lodge]

Garp and Roger were good

[hearty vigil]

why

[brittle basin]

yeah i love rocks and i like the flashback. GV could've been maybe a bit better, but other than that, solid.

[ruby cape]

LOOL YOU GOT ME FUCKED UP

[fast pagoda]

Rocks is not a very interesting character

To me

[brittle basin]

Rocks is what he needs to be: charismatic and badass

[dense haven]

imma gonna interview oda in chatgpt

[urban lodge]

Rocks is the most basic shonen slop character ever

[fast pagoda]

He's just generic "cool guy" ou he's rough but he loves his family gimmick

[jade rain]

Well what do you like? I mean which arc

[brittle basin]

yeah, and Oda nails it on the head. I really enjoyed that.

It's hard to hate how simple and to the point Rocks is in his presentation

[fast pagoda]

We've seen this type of character before

[rich hornet]

OP fans hate that this is a shonen manga with shonen tropes

[brittle basin]

Charismatic? I'm sure there are plenty like that.

[prisma idol]

Chatgpt pretend you are a man name Oda who writes One piece, answer only in japanese. Now for the first question..." and you just ask sbs level questions

[fast pagoda]

I was hoping he would be more unique than Roger, Whitebeard or Garp but he's just like them

[tawny ocean]

Yeah, Egghead was kind of just a perfect storm of hype, lore, tear jerkers and fun

[runic dock]

This is a reach lol

Maybe that’s imu tho

[brittle basin]

Every story is nothing but a collection of tropes at the end of the day. Tropes are just tools.

[urban lodge]

Rocks glazers should be Wb glazers instead

[fast pagoda]

Luffy escaping from all 5 of them and an admiral is ridiculous

[urban lodge]

He did that gimmick way better

[prisma idol]

Yeah same here

[hot cairn]

Egghead > Elbaph ngl

[rich hornet]

Why not both

[brittle basin]

gonna be really hard to compete with kuma and bonney honestly

[fast pagoda]

It just makes them feel less exciting as opponents in the final war

[hot cairn]

but Elbaph is not bad

[runic dock]

Tropes aren’t bad just how you use them

[brittle basin]

I love them both. But WB is much cooler.

[hearty vigil]

its clear why he escaped though

[hot cairn]

it might surpass egghead when it ends tho

[tawny ocean]

It really is one of the best flashbacks of One Piece

[prisma idol]

Elbad

[fast pagoda]

Joyboy haki is cheap

[prisma idol]

Elbarf

[brittle basin]

But WB and Rocks feels like two completely different characters to me in their presentation

[wet condor]

I agree Buffy

[runic dock]

Facts

[hearty vigil]

I disagree, cus now we know just how strong he was

[trim lily]

glad more people are seeing the vision

[brittle basin]

In fact, I know I'm objectively correct. WB is a very different character than Rocks.

[wet condor]

I am a Rocks enjoyer. I recognize he is very tropish. I like him anyways lol

[trim lily]

oda shant pass up this opportunity

[prisma idol]

If only oda would do it

[brittle basin]

You like him because Oda owns the trope and plays it straight.

[fast pagoda]

Gunko is more charismatic than Rocks

[brittle basin]

no

[runic dock]

I think that’s clear

[forest jacinth]

[rich hornet]

He also works because of his contrast with Teach

[trim lily]

if he wont do zoro sanji he can at least give us this

[hearty vigil]

exactly why Egghead is my top arc, but Elbaph is in massive contention to top it for me

[wet condor]

We don't even know much about the real Gunko if we're being real lol

[runic dock]

Gunko doesn’t even have a personality , you’re trying too hard

[fast pagoda]

I like her because she's a ruthless villain who's also clearly a victim of the system she defends

[brittle basin]

I didn't think about it that way, but I can understand that angle.

[hot cairn]

penny alt

[urban lodge]

What I mean is he's nothing revolutionary so he really doesn't deserve the reception he got. People talk about him like he's the best character in the entire story

[wet condor]

Like she's being influenced by Imu

[brittle basin]

He's just really good at being who he is.

[runic dock]

Her personality is” implant brainwash do whatever imu says “

[fast pagoda]

Yeah and Rocks' personality isn't unqiue at all

[hot cairn]

people ate it up tho

[urban lodge]

They hated Jesus because he told them the truth

[fast pagoda]

No it's not

[brittle basin]

Her only personality trait that I assume is her own is the music, 'cause it probably has its origins with brook.

[wet condor]

Yeah. I think some of it is her actual personality but much of what we've seen of her is her being influenced by Imu

[fast pagoda]

People who think Gunko isnt an interesting character should reread the arc

[trim lily]

rocks has many personality quirks like being aura and uhh

[runic dock]

Way fucking better than gunko tho by a mile , she’s literally empty , her own personality doesn’t exist yet, it’s from the Brook era

[fast pagoda]

Yes I like that her love for music is able to even surpass what happened to her

Plus her listening to music while eating is meant to be funny

Its like an angsty teenager

[urban lodge]

It doesn't exist if you haven't been paying attention

[hearty vigil]

name me 5 characters just like rocks, i'll wait

[runic dock]

Oh wow she listens to music

Fuck off lol

[brittle basin]

It's not about uniqueness. It's about how well he's executed regardless of anything unique. Enel is just a dude with a god complex, but he's still interesting.

[brittle basin]

yeah, that's totally fine. i think it's cool to recognize what it is, and still disagree with it.

true

with imus transformation again , as anyone said anything about robins demon form ?

[runic dock]

“I’m so over the top bad and you will bow and obey us , you peons”

[hot cairn]

[brittle basin]

it's like me with Imu's form. it's fine, but not for me personally. but i get why people like it.

[ornate tartan]

Garling is the man who is in direct control of the mother flame🔥🥶

[pulsar timber]

I stop being active and people want to start disliking cool shit. Rocks is a dope ass character with hype moments and aura and he’s also well written. Why must we pretend otherwise

[prisma idol]

FALSEEEEERE

[fast pagoda]

Just because someone talks more or is louder doesnt mean they have a stronger personality lol

[trim lily]

wait bluko youre pro nerona nami

[hearty vigil]

still waiting

[brittle basin]

"whoops my finger slipped"

[fast pagoda]

I don't think Rocks is a bad written character he's just not interesting

[prisma idol]

No I just think nerona nami is such a funny option, the idea of nerona Robin is Robin fans trying to take a nami fan theory

[trim lily]

ah fair

[brittle basin]

that's fine. it's fine to find him personally uninteresting.

[dense haven]

rock is like the ryan gosling of one piece

[runic dock]

I don’t even know what to compare this with gunko tho cause she doesn’t even have anything to compare with , oh no rocks is loud lmao as if that takes away anything else from his character

[dense haven]

people just hate him for existing

[brittle basin]

if Nerona Nami actually does happen I'll love and hate Oda at the same time

[wraith mantle]

Rocks is goated, haters be damned

[brittle basin]

i like ryan gosling......

[pulsar timber]

One piece fans try so hard not to be Naruto fans it leads to lunacy

[hearty vigil]

what is nerona nami bro

[runic dock]

People expected a cut throat bad guy , we got a subversion and people are still not liking rocks lmao it’s just a case of not being able to please everyone at once

[dense haven]

hes handsome, succesful, a better friend and family man than roger

[hearty vigil]

name em

Nami is a descendant of Imu

i still like roger though. and the flashback made me like him even more.

I have spoken

[hearty vigil]

like would she betray the crew, or is like uh "random fact"

[trim lily]

random fact

[wet condor]

People are allowed to like what they like. I don't pretend to lke Rocks for super intellectual reasons. He's just cool. He's a shonen trope through and through, but he's one of the people who's most directly opposed the WG without hesitation and is doing entirely for his own reasons. I can't help but like him lol

[brittle basin]

I'm going by a different comment, someone who said Sommers is the only gk with personality

roger agenda is officially over

[trim lily]

yeah but would that actually affect the story is the question

[frigid gulch]

[analog goblet]

bro no one says anything about how he was talking more ans then luffy just punched him

[wet condor]

He left an impression on Imu

[urban lodge]

She's very obviosly a Loki parallel and is talking about herself to a degree, even if she doesn't know it

[wraith mantle]

The LA actor practically spoiled that dragon has a DF

[runic dock]

Still hoping for a Sommers steel heart death fake out

[dense haven]

rocks is the real pirate king

[analog goblet]

what was he going to say about rocks

[hot cairn]

wdym

[wraith mantle]

Oh I see

[prisma idol]

I mean, If she is it would have a bit of an affect

[pulsar timber]

People are dishonest when describing him. The dumb him down to “hype moment aura” character when he was written as more than that. Simply for looking cool. Dude was a man who embodied ambition, who found something greater in a family. A wife and kid he loved. And died to his rivals who he also appreciated. Just look at the evolution in his dialogue with harald. He’s more than that

[dense haven]

guys what if hks having metal hearts means kid is their counter

[broken granite]

Imu is mihawk and akainu son

[urban lodge]

Rocks fans are truly the most oppressed

[frigid gulch]

Pretty much the set up for finding out that Imu is responsible for Rocks and Harald’s deaths

[brittle basin]

there was that theory that rocks did everything and the WG gave the glory to roger to take the spotlight off of rocks lol

[frigid gulch]

Loki will find out soon

[prisma idol]

Imagine if the only people Oda lets Imu kill is the HKs for fucking up

[broken granite]

Boruto reference?

[brittle basin]

boo

[dense haven]

https://klipy.com/gifs/wolf-drool-1

[prisma idol]

Not my Imu

[trim lily]

genuinely would take down elbaf a few points for me

[wraith mantle]

Oda has two more chances at making Imu look good

Human form and beast form

Hybrid form flopped

[analog goblet]

holly goat

[runic dock]

Agreed , he’s a lot more than some one note character , he’s definitely got layers , tropes or not , it’s outside of the expectation of “generic cut throat pirate “ already

[prisma idol]

Bait

[dense haven]

https://klipy.com/gifs/i-am-a-surgeon-dr-han

[pine scaffold]

We gotta stop Dragon fans before they get out of control

[fast pagoda]

Another reason I like Gunko is because she is actually just ruthless

[runic dock]

If oda was based

[royal orchid]

man I saw that shit on twitter today, naruto fans trying to say kishimoto invented onis

[pine scaffold]

We cant do another Egghead thing

[broken granite]

Fax

[trim lily]

if rocks had an interesting design or ability id like him a lot more

but hes just a boring haki man

[runic dock]

This is also trying too hard

[fast pagoda]

Her violence against others isn't comical

[prisma idol]

Alright Mr. "8 more chapters of the Kuma flashback" and "Kidd will beat shanks"

[dense haven]

would you like him if he had the ope ope

[tough igloo]

lmao we had to hear it all during egghead .. “ it’s the year of the dragon “

[trim lily]

thatd be actively worse i think

[pine scaffold]

I'm going to be honest.

Dragon fans are the most desperate fans of this fandom

[fast pagoda]

What she did to Gaban and Colon was crazy

[ornate tartan]

Imu looks good let’s not lie

almost as good as blackbeard design

[wraith mantle]

You want horns and red skin?

[pine scaffold]

They NEED him to do something

ANYTHING

[runic dock]

Power of a character is like third or fourth most important feature for me

[broken granite]

One piece spinoff with luffy’s son vs devils

[fast pagoda]

Shiki is literally just cameo man

[frigid gulch]

I get that complaint but at the same time if Rocks was planning on consuming the other fruit then it doesn’t make sense that he would have abilities prior to it

[trim lily]

people have many different values in this world

[broken granite]

Bro dragon hasn’t done a single thing since Imu was introduced

[trim lily]

then give him SOMETHING unique

some kind of gimmick that isnt just he uses a sword and has haki

[frozen aspen]

idk mihawk fans are certainly competing for that gold medal

[fast pagoda]

Rocks being another strong character who just uses haki and sword does make him a lot less interesting, especially with how he was hyped up for so long

[runic dock]

https://tenor.com/view/cinemagraph-goku-dbz-dragonball-goku-sunset-gif-3180564513007949522

[frigid gulch]

That’s what his swordsmanship is for

[prisma idol]

1. Design
2. Personality
3. Lore
4. Abilities
5. Relationships

Fights, aura and stuff are lower down in what I care about

[soft tangle]

Urouge returning first

[urban lodge]

I hate him down to his very design and his stupid ass copy pasted BB face

[broken granite]

He has cool hair

[pine scaffold]

At least Mihawk did some stuff

[fast pagoda]

We also barely see Rocks fight at all

[hot cairn]

wouldn’t be surprised

[pine scaffold]

Dragon has done nothing on screen

Well he saved Luffy

WOAHHHH

[winged sable]

gotte be big things in store for urouge

[frigid gulch]

Tho I prob woulda liked to see Rocks use a gun or something too

[wraith mantle]

Water is wet

[urban lodge]

And Oda is perfectly capable of making parent and child characters look different

[royal orchid]

wow bluko judges books by their cover

[fast pagoda]

First time we see Rocks the legendary pirate fight was him beat up a lonely suicidal child by the way

[wraith mantle]

Is he

[tough igloo]

he deserved it

[prisma idol]

Looks always make a first impression

[trim lily]

i think id swap abilities and lore for me

[runic dock]

I find it interesting he got to be such a great character with his CHARACTER alone, did not need abilities to make himself cooler or stand out , I don’t care for powers as a primary feature as much as other people do

[wraith mantle]

Ig dragon and luffy look different

[broken granite]

Akainu will appear in elbaph and show he has the mythical fruit Surtr

[urban lodge]

Yes, look at Momo and Oden, Ace and Roger

[ruby cape]

just asking btw how does this work? is imu only hurt when those with a deep covenant is killed by someone other than imu? he didn’t physically feel shit when saturn was gone did he because he executed him himself

[frozen aspen]

he cut down don kriegs fleet (offscreen) and humbled east blue zoro

[hot cairn]

clearly baited

[urban lodge]

Even if they're supposed to be similar they don't look the same

[trim lily]

i think because he cancelled the contract with saturn himself it was fine

[broken granite]

Mythical Zoan Piece

[wraith mantle]

Young Roger is an ace copy

[tough igloo]

just for garp and luffy to be twins lol

[trim lily]

but with harald it got forcefully cancelled by a third party

[wraith mantle]

Not bait

[urban lodge]

He still looks distinct enough

[tough igloo]

does he though

[royal orchid]

there's a difference between cutting your hair and having it pulled out of you

[frigid gulch]

Loki destroyed Harald’s steel heart

[tough igloo]

looks like the same face

even the hair

[trim lily]

i dont think all the knights have steel hearts lol

[wraith mantle]

Show their faces side by side

[trim lily]

unless imu can magically turn people's hearts metal

[pine scaffold]

I think we finally know why Oda hasn't put Kid in this arc

its cuz he'd destroy them all since they are magnetic

GODA

[frigid gulch]

Yea I would think it’d be weird but

[urban lodge]

Roger looks rougher and has no freckles

[royal orchid]

sommers' reaction kinda sussed me out though

[fast pagoda]

He's not bad but he's just a bit bland, he lacks spice and I think him at least having an interesting power could help that

[frigid gulch]

It’s a genuine weakness

[trim lily]

i dont know anymore

the problem is they blow up gunko's entire top half earlier, where her heart would be

and shes fine

[tropic nova]

What do you think the consequences of Imu leaving Mariejoa is? (YOU CAN PICK MORE THAN ONE)

1️⃣ Actual Physical Damage

2️⃣ They will die

3️⃣ Revealing themselves to the world

4️⃣ Other: (State with a reply)

bluko · Apr 3, 2026, 8:03 PM

[frigid gulch]

Maybe you have to use conquerors

[tough igloo]

i saw someone point out how this chapter made the HKs easily beatable by Kid & Law DFs lol

[trim lily]

ass

[royal orchid]

average trying to figure out what oda is going to do session

[pine scaffold]

the third option is the most ass one

like u cant be serious

[trim lily]

ive given up trying to think of where elbaf will go

[broken granite]

Hokages?

[trim lily]

im in it for the ride for better or worse

[prisma idol]

I am being serious

[prisma idol]

We are back to our Egghead selves lmfaooooo

[rose rune]

I'm stating with a reply

[prisma idol]

Thanks thigh

[pine scaffold]

imagine it just ends in 5 chapters

LOL

[trim lily]

morgans accidentally (or intentionally) revealing imu would be a good bit

[trim lily]

hey thatd finally give me a bingo space

im all for it

[jade rain]

At least it ain't predictable, nobody thought imu would come in person

[trim lily]

its certainly a unique decision

[broken granite]

lol Imu dies of homesickness black bear gets off screened and luffy dies to akainu

[pine scaffold]

I do feel like we are extremely close to Elbaf ending

like I can see it ending in 15 chapters

no joke

[trim lily]

if this is the climax then yeah

[gloomy tree]

maybe even quicker than that

[trim lily]

unless you believe in the ever elusive heaven realm

[pine scaffold]

Yeah man

[gloomy tree]

Oda said it will be pretty abrupt

[pine scaffold]

Oh yeah he did

[pulsar timber]

Just feels like this channel hust hates cool things happening sometimes. Wanting to find a reason to not like cool moments. I’m not promoting thoughtless consumption and I know people are entitled to their own opinion but damn man sometimes shit is just cool

[ruby cape]

with imu coming and wiping what more would there be to see

[runic dock]

That’s dumbing it down a lot and part of the problem muk mentioned , he’s more than that as well but I guess just like I can’t see what’s so special about gunko you can’t see this either

[urban lodge]

He was talking about the flashback

[pine scaffold]

Maybe the arc just ends with Imu beating everyone and winning

[urban lodge]

Not the arc

[frigid gulch]

Idk if Imu will “wipe” as much as people think

[pine scaffold]

the end

[jade rain]

If he really said that then the good guys are done

[frigid gulch]

I think Loki will end up landing some hits for revenge

[trim lily]

hey now most people in the channel loved rocks

[frigid gulch]

But still Imu seems to be nerfed

[pine scaffold]

people are gonna get so mad if Imu doesn't wipe the floor with everyone

😭

I can see it already

[soft tangle]

Owl please shrink Imu 🙏

[pulsar timber]

15 is nutty we just got here

[fast pagoda]

I love cool moments

[frigid gulch]

That’s on them

[pine scaffold]

We've been here for almost 60 chapters

its time to move on

[fast pagoda]

But they can feel uneared sometimes

[gloomy tree]

#also-manga message

[pulsar timber]

We will be here another 80

[ruby cape]

a flashback of imu if any were to actually happen would be extremely brief, we don’t need an in depth one especially right now surely, Elbaf gotta end bruh

[prisma idol]

Sb has never been right about the number of chapters dont worry

[hot cairn]

fair

[prisma idol]

@trim lily 8 more chaoters of kuma's flashback

[trim lily]

the 9 chapter kuma flashback..

[gloomy tree]

Rocks was dope

[pulsar timber]

What hype moment is unearned?

[hot cairn]

no he didn’t

[pine scaffold]

Check jump festa

[pine scaffold]

@hot cairn

[grand flower]

I wonder who does Imus laundry

[frigid gulch]

This is wild but surely Imu will break it right ?

[urban lodge]

Sb you didn't even read it

[prisma idol]

Whoever keeps doing the 5 react to the poll I can do this all day

[trim lily]

mars does it

[urban lodge]

He's talking about the flashback

[hot cairn]

we’ve talked about this before, he was talking about the flashback

[frigid gulch]

Idk what basis Loki has for that

Besides us just maybe accepting it as author intent

[hot cairn]

did you even read it lol

[ruby cape]

i mean when we saw the ice there was some cracks in it

[leaden rivet]

Imu didn’t wipe the floor with Sabo either did he

[broken granite]

Ion think hype moments nesecarilly make the story. Slop like solo leveling knockoff manwhas would be the best works of literature then

[fast pagoda]

Emeth randomly having a knot of Joyboy's haki that came out of nowhere that inexplicably sends the Gorosei away

[ruby cape]

feel like there’s gotta be the acoc bypass

[hot cairn]

he says that comment because of the flashback

[frigid gulch]

Indeed but they may just be visual

[ruby cape]

true say

[frigid gulch]

How would there be cracks in it without being touched

[pulsar timber]

It’s unthinkable a joyboy ally had a keepsake from Joyboy? How is it unearned

[leaden rivet]

Imu had a 6v1 with a running away opponent and Sabo left a free and healthy man. Same thing will happen here

[pulsar timber]

Of course they don’t make the story. But I think they’re important.

[pine scaffold]

Wait you're right

[wraith mantle]

Lmaooo

[pine scaffold]

Dude didnt Cobra hold Imu off for a moment

[fast pagoda]

The idea of tying haki into knots that came out of nowhere

[frigid gulch]

Sabo also got struck from behind btw

[prisma idol]

Finally clocked it down to you

[trim lily]

here before someone mentions wind knots

goda foreskinning

[wraith mantle]

Wdym? You couldn’t tell who was reacting 5?

[fast pagoda]

Wind knots was not foreshadowing

[frigid gulch]

Any Gunko arrow truthers still going

[prisma idol]

I was removing it to fast
