also-manga

[leaden rivet]

Is it because he ran your favs pockets?

[fringe escarp]

ehhhh luffy would have a far more personal reason to go after imu than he does blackbeard at this point

[grand flower]

I can't recognize that Teach and his crew are being written to be underestimated for the sake of it being revealed that they're actually capable of much more than you think

and also go "there's just not enough to look forward to'

i don't get the train of thought here

[keen quiver]

Teach literally got his brother killed

What are you even saying

At this point

[fringe escarp]

yeah and akainu was the one he blames for it

[grand flower]

this zay dude kinda says anything

[fringe escarp]

we getting luffy vs akainu EOS?

[keen quiver]

Literally saying anything

[fringe escarp]

you dont like it because its true lmfao

[leaden rivet]

Blackbeard’s been sniping Luffy’s friends lowkey and if Caribou gives him the correct information FMI is next

[grand flower]

Luffy blames Blackbeard as well

[fringe escarp]

as much as akainu tho?

[knotty root]

One could say that zayzay is on some zaza

[grand flower]

Blackbeard has also been fucking with Luffy's friends and family non-stop

[grand flower]

nah this what reggie do to you

[keen quiver]

Luffy hates imu more for beating up his crew, something almost every antagonist has done at this point

Great point

[fringe escarp]

luffy hears akainus name alongside blackbeard yet AKAINU is who he rages over in FMI

[civic dust]

😭 his father figure is next on the chopping block

[fringe escarp]

thats not why i said this

[leaden rivet]

What’s going to happen when he realizes his grandfather is Bb’s prisoner?

[glacial bear]

Mhm. The capture of Ace. The destruction of Dragon’s OG Revs HQ, & the capture of Garp

[fringe escarp]

imu's entire purpose is to be the embodiment of oppression, the exact opposite of what luffy's goal is

[graceful belfry]

It’s a three way dynamic

[keen quiver]

Gets his brother killed, is about to sink wano a territory he saved, and has his grandfather in the basement

[leaden rivet]

Luffy values his friends more than he values the world

[keen quiver]

Tis but a flesh wound

[graceful belfry]

Luffy, BB, Imu

Not one or the other

[glacial bear]

Black Hole Liberation will solve Imu’s oppression

[leaden rivet]

He does not give a fuck about the world

[fringe escarp]

he cares if it directly goes against his dream

which in this case imu does

[leaden rivet]

Luffy isn’t Nika, Luffy is his own person

[civic dust]

And Bb is the opposite type of freedom that Luffy represents

[alpine trench]

1. Shanks calling him a threat worked for me pre TS but now it’s demonstrably boring and cliched, with the same point being belabored in a less effective way

2. I agree partly on this because Blackbeard has placed himself in jeopardy in that process and only fate rescued him (which, fair, is a point of the arc of the BB pirates but it doesn’t effectively mean much for me)

3. Defeating Ace singlehandedly is impressive but him waltzing into Impel Down like an idiot, losing there with one attack, being rescued and then arriving at Marineford at the opportune time to be beaten, helped by his crewmates to kill a dead man walking and then after grabbing his powers somewhat dilutes his role as a world ending threat to me and nothing post TS makes me really feel much on that despite him possessing two fruits and being an emperor

4. I want him to do something interesting that Whitebeard didn’t do with the quakes or him using it in conjunction with his darkness fruit in way that’s fun to witness and that promise isn’t being fulfilled

[graceful belfry]

🎯

[fringe escarp]

i wouldn't say opposite but i get your point

[keen quiver]

People seem to forget this part everyday

[civic dust]

Both Bb and imu goes against his dream lol

[fringe escarp]

what's crazy is that none of this goes against what i said

[keen quiver]

All this is gonna be revealed by imu as he rattles on like an old person in a retirement home

[glacial bear]

BB & Luffy have different meanings of the SAME Ideology.

To me, that’s better finding out which one is better than just “Oppression vs Freedom”. NOW THAT is a Cliche & Boring trope

[dense haven]

yall liked the chapter?

[graceful belfry]

Great chapter

[fringe escarp]

blackbeard goes against him in the sense that they're both going for pirate king

[keen quiver]

It was a solid 8

[fringe escarp]

but that's getting handled in raftel

after that i genuinely dont know what BB's plan is even going to be after losing that title

[urban lodge]

People talk like BB doesn't want to oppress people too and the guy has slaves and literally wants to replace Imu

He's not just chaotic freedom

[fringe escarp]

he does, but blackbeard is far from the biggest active threat in this regard

[keen quiver]

Who could have guessed the guy who looks like Satan and runs the government of slavers who shoot kids is bad ?

[civic dust]

BB believes his freedom is above everyone including Luffys.

[pulsar timber]

Like does not begin to describe any chapter with the glorious goat in it

[brittle basin]

shit i forgot to vote

[fringe escarp]

brother there's literally a line where blackbeard says "I AM THE DARKNESS AND YOU ARE THE SUN!!! WHO WILL WIN??"

[soft tangle]

Bb

[restive lintel]

Chapter looks even better now that official scans are out

[fringe escarp]

Dont talk about cliche when blackbeard hits that on the mark lmfao

[restive lintel]

Send vote link

[alpine trench]

Check pins

[fringe escarp]

yeah thats what i meant

[alpine trench]

Wasn’t the TCB scans AI upscaled

[fringe escarp]

was this supposed to move me

luffys reaction is literally >:l

[alpine trench]

Burgess is a fucking bum

[fringe escarp]

akainu's name literally has luffy clenching his scar

[restive lintel]

I've just been voting Rocks daily

[fringe escarp]

honestly it isn't even a discussion who luffy is more personally pissed at

akainu is the one who killed ace and gave him his scar

[graceful belfry]

Unfortunately lol

[fringe escarp]

i do want to make it clear im not arguing blackbeard is completely uninteresting

[civic dust]

So far ya. BB is packing up more bodies EOS. Garp already and soon shanks.

[fringe escarp]

im arguing esp compared to his performance in pre ts

oda fumbled post ts blackbeard hard

[urban lodge]

Opscans giving Zoro his eye back was so fucking funny

[civic dust]

His arc ain’t even here yet 😭

[fringe escarp]

cut out marineford entirely here and blackbeard in pre is still just better

[timber glacier]

Bb aint getting one

[graceful belfry]

Probably too early to call that, but I don’t take any particular issue with people being critical of or not liking the ways he’s been implemented during the post-time skip

[fringe escarp]

im not even accounting for marineford when i say this

im purely talking progression wise at comparable points in the story

pre ts blackbeard had a plan

a plan that i could actually see making sense as early as jaya

every single action he took was for that plan

none of it felt random

[civic dust]

No duh. 😭 Bb was a center piece of multiple arcs pre ts. Post ts he doesn’t need to be front and center entirely because we already know about him. Oda just tells us little bits about him and what he’s doin

[graceful belfry]

Still has one, it seems. Just because we can’t comprehend the significance of Hachinosu becoming a Government affiliated island yet doesn’t mean it’s a bad or poorly executed plan

Just gotta let the story run its course

[prisma yacht]

We don't know what teach is actually brewing up like we do know he wants to be the king of the whole world but what is he actually doing
Bbps collect dfs - strengthening themselves before taking on the big bad ,
They attacked and looted the revos base again a move to strengthen themselves,
Bb suddenly wants to become a king under wg - which can be seen as a move he might use to crawl under wgs skin but again this whole thing hits a deadend he's stuck with garp - they can still use garp's popularity and saturns face(devon) to create ruckus ,
Laffite is keeping checks upon cds ration supply - possibly looking for a weak link or a perfect time to hit them?
Now he has info on ancient weapons and is possibly going after them - which might also be a trap
Anyway it's clear that they don't really have a big progress

[ashen perch]

He's obviously pissed lol, he's just not losing control over himself and just not trying to cause a scene here.

We saw how he reacted to BB kidnapping Ace in Impel Down already, he was furious and started fighting him as well

[lofty fern]

BB wasn't even responsible for Garp. Why should he get any credit? And Shanks is not even a factor right now? So what actual bodies has he done? He hasn't actually killed anybody

[fringe escarp]

thats the problem, the bits we get half the time is fucking random

[ashen perch]

obviously not a neutral reaction by any means lmao

[fringe escarp]

like you dont understand the fucking pain i felt when the first action blackbeard takes in post ts is going after the love love fruit

[graceful belfry]

In a roundabout way, Garp gets kidnapped because Blackbeard takes Koby

[fringe escarp]

DURING WANO

[graceful belfry]

Domino effect

[alpine trench]

Raws

[fringe escarp]

this was during the marineford saga where ace being captured was the biggest problem

[trim lily]

whats bad about that

he saw the warlords got disbanded and decided to swoop in before the navy could

[civic dust]

Luffy will still blame him. Ace wasn’t his intended target either but he will still use both to further his goals

[prisma yacht]

I'm not saying this is bad cause for all it means we gonna see intense actions anytime soon , but on the other hand I do get the point about them not doing something rather just going round abouts

[knotty root]

What would blackbeard use her fruit for anyways I wonder

[glacial bear]

Heck, if Luffy learns that it was Blackbeard who gave Shanks the scar. THAT would even FURTHER ADD more to Luffy’s gripe with Teach

[ashen perch]

yes, he's obviously pissed about it, and when they meet again, it will be the same

[trim lily]

turning people to stone i imagine

[knotty root]

Give it to Devon?

[civic dust]

It’s an extremely powerful one shot fruit

[fringe escarp]

in pre ts his actions were

killing thatch for the dark fruit

collecting a crew and going for luffy

pivoting to going for ace

becoming a warlord

going to impel down

these were effectively blackbeard's actions in the pre timeskip before marineford

[fringe escarp]

*for someone cute or attractive

[knotty root]

Was blackbeard gonna hit up ivankov or something

[glacial bear]

https://tenor.com/view/mero-mero-black-beard-one-piece-dance-gif-14829073997152130275

[fringe escarp]

im sorry but obese ass blackbeard is not hot

[grand flower]

Simple as that tbh

[trim lily]

i mean i don’t think that’ll be too hard to find for him lol

it’s not like blackbeard himself will be using it

[fringe escarp]

it matters when the fruit was also used by someone competent in combat

[ashen perch]

BB's actions arent meant to make any sense until his plan has already come to fruition, this was the case pre ts too

[civic dust]

He got tons of people on pirate island who would gladly take it lol

[knotty root]

Some people have weird kinks

[fringe escarp]

and i must ask you

is this something worth going for when there are FAR better options

[glacial bear]

BB is super competent in combat

[trim lily]

what

[fringe escarp]

blackbeard is not using the fucking love fruit

read the context

[glacial bear]

COPE

[pulsar timber]

We know which one is better already though

[fringe escarp]

random fodder number 85 is not using the love fruit well

[grand flower]

Oda’s SBS answer about S-Snake confirms the fruit stones you when you feel an emotional response because of love or adoration

I think teach’s usage would be threatening something you love and stoning you when you get mad or react really because it’s an emotional response from love

[civic dust]

What better options. To him it’s a free DF that one shots people

[gloomy tree]

no, BB was still going for powerful fruits for his crew

[rose rune]

Foxy is the next victim

[final trench]

Bro if he fed a bluenette that fruit imu would be cooked

[fringe escarp]

dp you remember what was going on when he went for the fruit

[gloomy tree]

true

[final trench]

But go on yall im reading

[rose rune]

That man's fruit is too good for him

[civic dust]

Random marines and boa were there. He learned about the seriphim and immediately planned on how he can take them for himself lol

[graceful belfry]

I’m saying. In an alternate reality, Vivi eats the Mero Mero no Mi and handles Imu with ease

[ashen perch]

as for the love love fruit, I am pretty sure this explains what BB's plan with it was

[fringe escarp]

no i meant in the world

[gloomy tree]

pre ts his plan was easier to read, doesnt mean he has no plan now

[glacial bear]

He successfully defended himself against the Seraphim. He got Boa Hancock. He ended up leaving with Koby the hero as a prisoner

[ashen perch]

they have been very recently hunting down DFs, many just got their powers like Augur said

[prisma yacht]

Pre ts bb had been cooking up a plan since a long time , so ppl comparing it with what he has now and the position he holds now isnt really fair , he is in a much bigger and harder position than he was back then , going with a linear plan wldnt really be ideal when you can make use of ur insanely big fleet , even if the plan isn't structured it does tell you that they are ready for something big and ominous

[civic dust]

The warlords disbanded and they were no longer under marine protection ?

[thick mango]

Seraphim knowledge itself was valuable he immediately took steps to steal them with Devon on egghead

[fringe escarp]

whole cake island was in ruins (by HIM no less) and went for none of their fruits

WANO was in ruins with two emperors and their fruits in the wild and a entire armada of fruit users completely open for the taking

[pulsar timber]

Conveniencebeard

[glacial bear]

HOLY COOK 🔥

[civic dust]

WCI he got what he wanted. None of these islands have anywhere near as good fruits as boas fruit lol

[dense haven]

was it confirmed that was his plan

[pulsar timber]

Why is tcb using ai upscaling now

[final trench]

Because of laziness

[fringe escarp]

brother wano had 5 SUPERNOVA CREWS

boas fruit is immensely OP on BOA

[rose rune]

Well. Most of the whole cake fruits were food based, and bb respected bm going for a theme

[thick mango]

Not 100% but it really adds up like 98%

[fringe escarp]

i yield

[glacial bear]

Notice how Blackbeard didn’t even need his full crew for Boa & Law? And EVEN ACE!

[fringe escarp]

this is the objective answer

[dense pike]

6*

[glacial bear]

7

[fringe escarp]

even worse 😭

[civic dust]

Boas fruit works on anyone hot or cute. Not just boa lol

[fringe escarp]

yeah but its best on boa because literally everyone is horny for her

[dense haven]

yea after pudding stealing garps memory to learn about gods valley

the fans write a better story than oda

[civic dust]

It’s still a free one shot fruit? Boa obviously ain’t gonna join him 😭

[timber glacier]

BB was there he could have said something smh

[fringe escarp]

you know what else is free?

[rose rune]

Love

[ashen perch]

BB probably expected Shanks to intercept him in Wano tbh and I doubt he can handle that just yet, thats why he stayed at Winner Island to only intercept one of the WorstGenTrio

[fringe escarp]

a island filled to the brim with absolutely OP fruits

[glacial bear]

Blox Fruits?

[fringe escarp]

i would've accepted this

[leaden rivet]

Blackbeard’s fight with law could’ve turned out nasty if it was Luffy who failed that way

[fringe escarp]

if blackbeard himself said this i could believe it

[civic dust]

None of those islands fruits compare to boa. And Bb will be raiding wano soon

[ashen perch]

just connect the dots, Shanks thought BB would show up in Wano

[fringe escarp]

what are you on about

[thick mango]

They were surprised Saturn was there so Saturn couldn't have been the original goal. Vp was likely the original goal, that's why you would go to egghead.
Seraphim control is a clean answer as to what goal originally needed vegapunk but is succeeded even better with Saturn

[civic dust]

He’s gonna pull up to take pluton

[fringe escarp]

law's fruit
luffys fruit
kid's fruit
hawkins fruit
x drake
big mom
kaido

[ashen perch]

He didnt, he stayed a distance and played a divide and conquer strategy against the Worst Gen Trio

[glacial bear]

The fight would’ve been over faster if Blackbeard brought his full crew too. Bepo & Law would’ve been defacto dead

[ashen perch]

BB's not that powerful, its silly to think that he could've handled Wano

[fringe escarp]

this isnt a bunch of random wano citizen fruits this is the aftermath of a war

[leaden rivet]

Luffy would’ve wrecked his shit

[ashen perch]

Kid, Law and Luffy combined would have ended his pirating career

[fringe escarp]

not when all 3 were recovering

[ashen perch]

then theres ofc Shanks, who did show up for him

[leaden rivet]

He doesn’t need law and kid to beat Blackbeard at that point

[fringe escarp]

and again blackbeard went to marineford while 3 navy admirals were present LMAO

[ashen perch]

even if they were recovering, the 3 combined are beating his ass

[thick mango]

Bb is looking for easy fights, ambushes, etc. He doesn't even wanna try a fight he barely wins 51% unless it's really important

[civic dust]

BM Hawkins and Kaidos fruits are going to reincarnate. He tried to take laws fruit. 😭 did u expect him to show up during the raid?

[prisma yacht]

They defeated bm + kaido

[glacial bear]

Same with Amazon Lily. Had Blackbeard brought his full crew. Rayleigh, Koby, & Boa would’ve been wraps.

[fringe escarp]

No?? AFTER the raid

there was a whole fucking week timeskip

[brittle basin]

Missed the last three days.

[leaden rivet]

Put an asterisk next to this

If Blackbeard brought his full crew he could probably win

[fringe escarp]

brother he went for marineford BEFORE he had the gura

[graceful belfry]

Big Mom’s fruit can’t reincarnate if she’s still alive 😉

[civic dust]

Well he was busy out at sea dealin with warlords disbanding. No one outside of wano even knew there was a raid

[fringe escarp]

with 3 navy admirals garp and sengoku present

[ashen perch]

yeah, that was in the middle of the war

[glacial bear]

https://tenor.com/view/skill-issue-blackbeard-one-piece-jump-force-gif-22901280

[prisma yacht]

My last three votes were paulie , buggy , porche

[ashen perch]

where they were expected to be weakened

[thick mango]

He didn't fight marineford himself he snuck into an active fight

[glacial bear]

Blackbeard teleportation foreshadowing. He gonna use Black Hole Magic circles

[brittle basin]

i forgot about porche lol

[fringe escarp]

and he couldn't have done this in wano because

[dense haven]

bbfans want him to jump every single one of his fights

truly the goat

[civic dust]

Because the raid was secret

[ashen perch]

The raid lowkey has bigger threats than Marineford but I am not gonna get into a powerscaling debate

[rose rune]

and a gold

[civic dust]

Wano is an isolated country. Why would Bb know that there is a raid 😭

[prisma yacht]

Thigh convinced me to

[red lagoon]

My first special

[thick mango]

Well we know shanks was waiting for him. We don't know what information he has and what opportunity costs he was weighing.

[graceful belfry]

As a huge fan of Blackbeard, I’m perfectly fine with his opportunistic nature and adversity to putting himself in potentially losing situations. Reinforces the contrast between him and Luffy and is also a trait that’s sort of unique to him and his crew

[ashen perch]

Kaido, BM, Luffy, Kid, Zoro, Law, Marco, Scabbards, and Shanks/his crew nearby waiting to intercept him

[glacial bear]

I AGEEE!

[pulsar timber]

The losing situations where he actually just doesn’t really lose

[prisma yacht]

His opportunistic nature makes him appealing

[glacial bear]

https://tenor.com/view/edge-cashing-in-cash-in-mitb-money-in-the-bank-gif-17114402

[ashen perch]

wouldnt have been very wise to jump into that!

[graceful belfry]

🤝

[glacial bear]

Marshall D. Teach, the ultimate opportunist

[alpine trench]

had more big players but less numbers plus more closed off battlefield

[leaden rivet]

Blackbeard haters need to work on their arguments it’s not looking good

[ashen perch]

BB's strategy worked out super well for him, thats really all that matters at the end

he has the 3 poneglyphs, with minimum damage for him

[fringe escarp]

i checked, the raid was leaked and the news had already found out about it near the end of it

[civic dust]

In wano. Not the world lol

[fringe escarp]

no, in the WORLD it was

remember

[prisma yacht]

Just post the panel

[ashen perch]

no it wasnt?

[glacial bear]

If I got paid, I’ll be their attorney

[fringe escarp]

ok

[ashen perch]

the whole point was that it was an ambush lol

[prisma yacht]

What's there to even argue about if it was in the manga lol

[rose rune]

damn, it's nice to be able to able to read the official with readable art

[brittle basin]

OH! Viz day!

[ashen perch]

the world found out after the ambush but like

BB cant exactly teleport yknow

[leaden rivet]

Only shanks can do that

[prisma yacht]

Deep sea travels deep sea travels deep sea travels

[ashen perch]

the world knew that Luffy and his crew went to Wano, thats the only bit that they knew before the raid suddenly happens

[leaden rivet]

Imu looks a lot less weird in the officials thankfully

[brittle basin]

BB awakens his fruit and opens and travels through black holes wherever he wants

[ashen perch]

oh and ofc about BM and Kaido's alliance

[prisma yacht]

Oh yeah why is he asking that bro

[ashen perch]

this is after it ended man

[trim lily]

a little weird given they asked like a dozen minutes earlier

[fringe escarp]

guernica did not die 1 week after lmfao

[trim lily]

its so silly that guernica sent the photo

[ashen perch]

ofc not

[red lagoon]

Guernica is the one who sent the pic of Luffy lol

[prisma yacht]

He even asked them to bring jaruls head

[rose rune]

not to mention his face being visible in most of the panels now

[urban lodge]

The AI gave him Robin's nose in the scans, it was so noticeable

[ashen perch]

the news gets printed like a week after

[graceful belfry]

That marine looks like what I’d imagine Guernica to look like without his mask and bowler hat

[ashen perch]

I am pretty sure this part comes after Luffy and Zoro wake up

[fringe escarp]

no actually, it was already printed and sent off remember

[brittle basin]

Heh, I like that I can see the divide where both pages meet

[red lagoon]

Luffy was sleep for a week and they got the newspaper after they woke up righ?

[fringe escarp]

they have the news after a week

[fringe escarp]

yes

meaning the news was already sent to them well before

ts nigga morgans does not have the warp fruit

[brittle basin]

well, you asked for a manga panel evidence, and he provided it with guernica context

[fringe escarp]

yet

[rose rune]

I'm sad that we lost this masterpiece now that the official is out

[ashen perch]

I dont think theres said to be a delay

[fringe escarp]

no no i mean

luffy and co

they got the paper after a week

[ashen perch]

thats not the case

[brittle basin]

That's an interesting sound effect.

[fringe escarp]

it is

[ashen perch]

they didnt get the paper after a week, the paper printed after a week

[runic dock]

Sounds like scissors

[dapper tree]

Moria upscale?

[dense haven]

ivankov in elbaf!

[brittle basin]

reminds me of "Snip, snap" so I guess that's not far off

[dapper tree]

[fringe escarp]

they literally have the paper a week after the rtaid

*raid

[ashen perch]

Luffy and Zoro were the only ones knocked out

[rose rune]

reminds me of these

[soft tangle]

Would be so much better if it was silent

[runic dock]

This fruit has bits of Moriah in it , as well as big mom

[ashen perch]

why would it take anyone else a whole week to hear about it lol

[brittle basin]

oh, are they good?

[rose rune]

I like them. I'm uncertain if they still exist tho

[ashen perch]

this is literally happening in real time, after Luffy and Zoro wake up

[fringe escarp]

because newspapers dont take hours to travel across the world to a closed off country 🥀

[ashen perch]

this isnt a flashback

[brittle basin]

Hm, on a second thought, I agree with you. Silence would be nice and more impactful.

[runic dock]

Those devil faces remind me a lot of Moriah’s fruit , it’s like someone combined Moriah and big moms fruit with a mythical zoan

[dapper tree]

Pretty sure he's just gonna be using parts of dfs. Also his wings reminded me of Mar's wings but I didnt do a direct comparison yet.

[fringe escarp]

it is, its not taking place at the exact same time as apoo talking about the news

[ashen perch]

not an issue for Apoo, who was acting as a source for Morgans

[runic dock]

Heck even part of baby 5s fruit

With the shotgun lol

[dapper tree]

Trueeeee

[fringe escarp]

why wouldn't this be a issue?

[ashen perch]

it is lol, this is their immediate reaction

[rose rune]

or a "ffp"
like a silent fart

[brittle basin]

I read about the mistake that Zoro's swords are resheathed here. Will this be corrected in the volume release?

[fringe escarp]

but they're also talking about the guernica photo

which was sent a whole week earlier

[ashen perch]

He's the only one who gets the paper zay, he receives it because he's in contact with Morgans

[soft tangle]

Yeah anything not loud would set the tone

[fringe escarp]

the issue isnt receiving the news

the issue is recieving the news in literal hours

this isnt the internet 😭

[ashen perch]

the news coo can travel all around the world lol

[wise vector]

The last pannel is so dark souls

[fringe escarp]

yeah but not literally within hours of printing

[ashen perch]

it does act that quickly

[wise vector]

Guys do you think arlong can defeat gear 5 luffy

[fringe escarp]

actually ngl i dont wanna continue arguing about this

i dont wanna waste my day off 😭

[pulsar timber]

Loki, the Accursed Prince would be a fire souls boss

[fringe escarp]

not trying to rage bait im being legit

[ashen perch]

thats fine

[fringe escarp]

lets just agree to disagree

it aint serious

🤝

[alpine trench]

its all for fun

nothing is as serious as people want to make it be

[pulsar timber]

This discord stuff is serious

[ashen perch]

I was gonna post one last thing

I guess I should just post it anyways

[alpine trench]

i barely discuss the series here anymore rather than on chapter days in small bursts

[ashen perch]

Wano isnt closed because the news coo cant travel there, its closed because the shogun takes the papers for himself

[fringe escarp]

yeah ive been working on knowing when to cut it off and just do other things

[rose rune]

fixed the sfx

a dramatic crunch for the bones

[pulsar timber]

I’m surprised Oda maimed Gerd

[ashen perch]

he needs to take away a leg from Loki please Oda 🙏

[rose rune]

Stansen used up the leg tax

[graceful belfry]

Don’t do him like Kyros, please Oda 🙏

[ashen perch]

Oda's never really shied away from brutality, idk why he gets that reputation

the anime just censors a lot of it I guess

[pulsar timber]

At least Gerd didn’t get the Kiku treatment

[rose rune]

he rarely does it to women. unless it's a mom

[ashen perch]

We saw Kaido behead Orochi in his human form, take away Kiku's arm

just 2 arcs ago

[rose rune]

oh yeah

[brittle basin]

Oda does brutality on occasion.

[rose rune]

the kiku panel is pretty good

[ashen perch]

nah he does it pretty often

[brittle basin]

But you're not getting the kind of brutality that I'm thinking of.

[graceful belfry]

She can’t sew anymore Although maybe she’ll get some prosthetic thumbs and pointers

[brittle basin]

Absolute and horrifying, gut wrenching brutality

[rose rune]

rip and tear

[ashen perch]

actually, Oda likes his brutality to a degree that doesnt even make any sense

there are characters that shouldnt even survive

the type of things he makes them go through

like Zoro v Mr.1? ridiculous

[trim lily]

its cartoon violence

[brittle basin]

A good example of brutal without showing too much is Ginny. And then you have moments like Ace which is semi-visceral and in your face.

[leaden rivet]

Zoro always gets some of the most brutal stuff

[ashen perch]

well it is a cartoon Dolf

[dapper tree]

Make him fit on the ship

[leaden rivet]

It would be kinda funny if after all this Imu left without killing a single person,

[rose rune]

so true! if he loses all of his limbs it will be an easy fit

[leaden rivet]

At least it’ll make Kaido look less bad

[brittle basin]

https://tenor.com/view/boo-gif-19787475173016375

[maiden saffron]

oh that's probably gonna happen

[dapper tree]

Kills Kuma and Saul

[maiden saffron]

i think he just takes his knights, talks to luffy and loki

[ashen perch]

literally chapter 1

[maiden saffron]

maybe punches them around a little bit

and leaves

[dapper tree]

Imu on that time limit

[leaden rivet]

Killing kuma is like kicking an injured puppy

[brittle basin]

yeah I always point back to chapter 1 to show that Oda does brutal stuff lol. just point blank range with Roo

[rose rune]

I read this left to right, and somehow it got kind of funny

[dapper tree]

Might get Zoro vs Sommers and Sanji vs Killingham while Loki amd luffy fight Imu now

[ashen perch]

yupp

[leaden rivet]

Might?

[soft tangle]

Wouldn’t this realistically blow half the head off

[brittle basin]

oda cuts off more heads and body parts than you might realize

[maiden saffron]

i think oda is generally reserved with stuff like this though, which is why it still feels really impactful

[dapper tree]

They might have another mission

Other than fighting

[rose rune]

he used tiny bullets

[ashen perch]

dont worry about it

[maiden saffron]

he doesn't just chop off anyone's fingers often

[trim lily]

that tends to be easier when it comes to violence in these kinds of series

[leaden rivet]

And that achieves what exactly?

[brittle basin]

but it's not all over the place, as it's not, like, GoT or a certain other series in the seinen department

[trim lily]

cut off parts that will impact you but not really be life threatening or brutal

[soft tangle]

Whitebeard carry the load

[maiden saffron]

giving the strawhats a reality check, setting up the first face to face confrontation between Luffy and Imu

he probably has a goal in elbaf

[brittle basin]

WB getting a part of his head melted off was top-tier brutality by Oda

[maiden saffron]

but i dont think he'll be able to kill a strawhat

or luffy or loki

if that's what you think should happen

[leaden rivet]

You don’t get much more of a reality check than Kaido killing Luffy

I feel like Imu should be much more

[graceful belfry]

Oda got eight beheadings out of Orochi

[pulsar timber]

How many major villains kill anyone of importance during an arc

[trim lily]

how do you up the stakes past killing luffy

[leaden rivet]

Imu is unlike any other villain

[dense haven]

kaido didn't kill luffy

[leaden rivet]

He shouldn’t be measured to their standards

[dense haven]

luffy got jumped

[brittle basin]

Didn't TCB make it seem like Sommers had never experienced this before? Here it seems like he's well aware of the effects.

[trim lily]

i dont think so

[maiden saffron]

But you do, since they overcame Kaido. And Imu is toying around with yonko commanders, chopping off fingers and limbs, his haki is some of the strongest we've seen

[trim lily]

he was pretty hyped at it in both translations

[maiden saffron]

and he will undoubtedly have a serious confrontation with both loki and luffy too

[brittle basin]

I swear tcb felt different in the hype though

[ashen perch]

this was pretty cool from Dressrosa

[leaden rivet]

If Imu comes there, scraps with Loki and Luffy, does no lasting damage and doesn’t kill anyone and leaves without Elbaf he’ll he just so lame

[maiden saffron]

it's a reality check because the strawhats have felt a little too safe recently, they didn't have much trouble dealing with the knights

and franky was even boasting about how they're an emperor's crew now

[trim lily]

depends on how you read it i guess

[leaden rivet]

I mean they just ran away from the Gorosei and Luffy was crying and shit because Vegapunk didn’t died

[brittle basin]

Yeah I think "this is it" part makes it feel like he's never experienced it before

[soft tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/oden-cut-one-piece-kozuki-oden-gif-20272385

[brittle basin]

top 1 feat btw

[trim lily]

i read "this is it" as like he feels glad to have that power again

[soft tangle]

The way it wiggles is funny af

[brittle basin]

Is Oda allowed to show the bone in severing like this?

[ashen perch]

I dont think he has ever done that

[trim lily]

oda doesnt tend to get that graphic

not to his tastes i imagine

[maiden saffron]

always was a coward

wrong reply

[brittle basin]

it's time to show bone oda

[maiden saffron]

i meant about oda

anyway about Imu specifically, I don't think that he has to kill someone to be a "threat". Read the recent chapter and it's abundantly clear that he's very much a threat.

[ashen perch]

Oda loves his depictions of violence without it necessarily being too much for the jump demographic

[leaden rivet]

Anyone have the tcb link

[grand flower]

Yeah here he seems like he couldn’t wait to get some again

[maiden saffron]

Killing someone just feels like an imaginary checkbox you've come up with

[grand flower]

It is

Plenty of media communicate threat without it

[leaden rivet]

It can’t be anything other than that

[ashen perch]

also cool

[brittle basin]

Imu kills Kuma.

[trim lily]

i never thought about it but how did the string clones talk

or did oda not want me to think about it either

[grand flower]

And hesr and see

Hear*

[maiden saffron]

string vocal chords

[pulsar timber]

Don’t think too hard about it

It just works

[grand flower]

I guess Dofy made vocal chords

[leaden rivet]

Like honestly who cares if he just beats up Luffy and Loki a bit, loses Elbaf, gets sent back to heaven and achieves nothing

[grand flower]

Bundled strings together

Twanged em to make sound

[trim lily]

thats very impressive puppetry on his part

[leaden rivet]

Just another string in the WG’s Ls

[dapper tree]

The string clone was so weird cause it was automatic

[trim lily]

yeah i think its one of those things im willing to just excuse cause its cool

[brittle basin]

I think people love the idea of the big bad actually having consequences beyond just "I one-tapped sanji and zoro." cutting gerd's fingers, however, is a nice start.

[dapper tree]

Zoro and Sanji ain't one tapped

[leaden rivet]

And I never said Imu needed to kill someone to be a threat, I said it would be lame if he didn’t kill anyone and didn’t achieve anything

[brittle basin]

stfu

[dapper tree]

They are fine

[brittle basin]

ban pasta

[dapper tree]

HUH

[maiden saffron]

zoro got one tapped

[dapper tree]

I am speaking the truth

[maiden saffron]

sanji is fine though

[brittle basin]

torture pasta

[dapper tree]

Zoro got shot in the head

[leaden rivet]

Who cares if Zoro got one tapped? That’s the bare minimum for him, Zoro will be fine later

[wraith mantle]

zoro got one tapped

[trim lily]

send pasta to the limb extender

[wraith mantle]

sanji was humiliated by imu using his own preferred method of combar to brush him off

[brittle basin]

now i'm the one being tortured

[trim lily]

oh yeah wasnt the new top 5 today

[dapper tree]

Zoro and Sanji are gonna be fine next chapter

[leaden rivet]

Sanji got one tapped by Saturn who cares

[dapper tree]

And fighting the knights

[leaden rivet]

Nothing permanent and it changes nothing they’ll be alright

[brittle basin]

sanji and zoro are dead

[soft tangle]

Uta has to be bots

[dapper tree]

Saturn couldn't even one tap Chopper

[trim lily]

only character not botted actually

[soft tangle]

Rocks got replaced by Lucci and then Lucci replaced by Uta

[brittle basin]

Chopper using his fat ball form to prevent poison is his best feat in the series so far

[trim lily]

chopper's fur is more powerful than a tree dissolving venom

[leaden rivet]

That was one of his fits of dementia

[dapper tree]

Chopper tanking BM is a better feat than tanking Saturn so it's fine

[brittle basin]

[wraith mantle]

gerd will get her fingers back

[brittle basin]

chopper will sew them back on i guess

[wraith mantle]

actually put that as a server bet

[ashen perch]

Someone drew a Zoro fanart where he gets a burn scar after this chapter and Twitter refreshed before I could save it smh

what I mean to say is basically, that would be pretty cool

[brittle basin]

she shouldn't get them back. give consequences

[dense haven]

zoro is the man marked by flames

[trim lily]

ohhhh zoro is the burn scar man

[ashen perch]

Gerd and Stansen will be cyborgerized

[brittle basin]

oh hell yeah this is when she jumps on the ship right?

[dapper tree]

Yup

[wraith mantle]

oda doesnt believe in consequences

[brittle basin]

never mind that's the top chopper feat

[graceful belfry]

Yeah, agreed

[dapper tree]

It really is

[brittle basin]

hungry big mom should be scaled above kaido prove me wrong

[rose rune]

can't believe chopper blocks both big mom and saturn

[dapper tree]

Grand fleet shows up in elbaf and leo just stitches them back together

[trim lily]

chopper will block imu

[brittle basin]

Chopper's bounty is purposefully low because they know he has the forest god fruit

[dapper tree]

Facts

[brittle basin]

Chopper should block imu, i'm all for it

[dense haven]

chopper might legit do something to imu with his holy hand

[leaden rivet]

If chopper blocks Imu he should replace Zoro in the monster trio

[trim lily]

given chopper can somehow undo domi its a genuine possibility

[wraith mantle]

get rid of zoro and sanjin, add loki and yamato

luffy needs actual fighters on his crew

[dense haven]

ok what will usopp do

[leaden rivet]

Well

He’s half dead on the floor

And all the other opponents are levels above him

Sooo

Who knows

After Loki falls he claims Ragnir and stands up to Imu

[ashen perch]

it might be his cape but it has a bit of a reflective look to it

[distant vine]

People are saying the pacing is killing them but for manga readers this is definetly true

I like that the dots and lines remind you of Ponegylphs but its too many dots on one side imo

[hot cairn]

[dark nymph]

abstaining from spoilers has prepared me for this

[digital spear]

[digital spear]

Oda hired a buff guy to draw those legs

[scenic dirge]

Just the leg or all of it?

[digital spear]

all

[fluid cedar]

Cant fall off if hes been at the bottom

[digital spear]

the arm too

[ashen perch]

Oda's drawn buff legs before, but its rare for sure

[scenic dirge]

Wait LOL

[ashen perch]

Kyros and Oden, thats kind of it

[scenic dirge]

Goddamnit thigh

I hate you and love you at the same time

[digital spear]

I mean I wasnt talking about that part lol

[scenic dirge]

Genuinely did not realize Zeus

[digital spear]

[brittle basin]

ok yeah i can see the screentone more clearly here

[digital spear]

[dark nymph]

not a good thing imo

[ashen perch]

maybe youre just not used to Oda's art getting better YC...

cause it was not this good in Egghead and Onigashima

[digital spear]

Yeah im used to Odas art to SUCK

[ashen perch]

yeah that makes sense

[copper forge]

zeus?

[copper forge]

this art is insane

the art of the recent chapters is really good

[ashen perch]

youre not supposed to see the dots without zooming in a ton, this doesnt look great

[scenic dirge]

Look at his leg

[hearty shore]

lots of stuff was happening in both arcs tbf

[copper forge]

LOOOOOOOOOOL

[hearty shore]

if he locked in with the art, we'd probably still be at the part where saturn is about to land in egghead

[brittle basin]

It probably depends on the screentone, I've used it in a professional setting before with the intention of you seeing it

[brittle basin]

oda seems to use tiny tiny screentones

[dark nymph]

sauce?
