also-manga

[noble carbon]

But BB just feels like a perfect, more grounded foil of Luffy

[ashen perch]

I mean we're just going to be doing both, Blackbeard will be in a similar position as Luffy as they clash over their ideologies while Imu remains the ultimate oppressor that gets down like Enel, Doflamingo, Kaido, Crocodile, Arlong, etc

[noble carbon]

Im just feels too foreign

[thick mango]

im pretty lukeawrm on imu tbh maybe im just being contrarian but if i am i cant distinguish it from genuine feeling

[hot cairn]

fair

[runic dock]

Bb philosophy seems to be branching a different path from imu , especially with this latest chapter

[dark dirge]

who would win everyone luffy beated so far on 1 team or the straw hats

[lofty fern]

I feel readers are just more comfortable with BB so they just fall back on him. Imu is new and unknown so they just can't get behind him

[runic dock]

Exactly

[wraith mantle]

I am liking Imu more and more

[brittle basin]

i will probably need the ancient kingdom flashback to really decide how i feel about imu. for now, while cool in a mysterious way, they are just a dude with evil magic with random ass hints about a past. the whole oppress the world stuff not withstanding.

[charred flower]

I see this if BB somehow fuses/absorbs IMUs power, if not I think he's not that big of a threat IMO

[warm falcon]

wait for void century, he will grow on us

[wraith mantle]

His dynamic with joyboy is gonna be really good, I can feel it

[runic dock]

It’s not about comfort , it’s just something that’s being noticed , a villain built up alongside Luffy from the beginning that still hasn’t been fully used yet , who is the epitome of what a classic pirate is irl

It’s writing itself

[noble carbon]

I would agree but pretty much everything in the series tells us that the two fruits he has are just incredibly busted

[lofty fern]

I felt it was actually in line. In fact. I wouldn't be surprised if Eris got Corrupted and influenced by maki which led to everything with BB

[ashen perch]

That just BB moreso a rival in the same field tbh, less so THE villain.

[noble carbon]

So I'm tempted to disagree with that

[lofty fern]

There's that line again "from the beginning" again comfort

[opal gull]

do you see Imu being defeated before getting the OP or after?

cause I feel like you need the OP in order to be able to defeat Imu
as whoever has the OP will change the world and as WB said turn the world upside down. I guess they will decide the fate of the World in a way. So I see BB being defeated before Imu cause Luffy has to get the OP first.

[ashen perch]

BB is being built up to stand between him and One Piece, Imu is being built up as the creator and the ultimate oppressor of the world. The scales are different

[keen quiver]

I mean shanks literally said he's a threat

[brittle basin]

you can definitely blame Oda for this of course. he cooooould've fleshed out BB a bit more. We truly do only get him on rare occassions. We'll probably get more Imu panel time in Elbaf than BB got in the whole series lol

[runic dock]

That could be interesting , but the thing about bb is his goals and motivations are still mostly unknown , at this stage we know more about Imu’s goals and motivations , tho not the complete picture yet of course

[keen quiver]

And he's the analog to roger

[noble carbon]

We find the One Piece and THEN we enter the final arc / saga of the series

[ashen perch]

eh thats pretty unlikely

[noble carbon]

Whether it be Marineford 2 or whatever

[charred flower]

It all depends if he goes the route of the "rival" so he's the 2nd to last match for Luffy before dealing with the WG, or he becomes the villain and somehow surpasses IMUs as a threat to the world

[brittle basin]

yeah i know i'm just exaggerating for effect

[runic dock]

I’m still torn on this , idk what Oda was thinking in that interview

[lofty fern]

They're pretty clear to me, not sure why you think they're unknown

[keen quiver]

Davy jones thing is currently insane levels of ammo

[brittle basin]

it's to suggest, we simply don't get a lot of BB, a major major villian in a 1200 chapter long manga relatively speaking

[formal wagon]

what if oda just swapped to novels

[lofty fern]

I don't know how good he would be a writing those

[ashen perch]

I dunno, I mean yeah we dont know his endgame after his dream is achieved but we do know what the dream is

[noble carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/earth-globe-explode-gif-14366757

[brittle basin]

the OP i guess changes the world. i guess it has to change before the war? whatever that means

[keen quiver]

Thing is when teach moves the plot advances to ridiculous levels

[lofty fern]

He might need the visual medium

[hot cairn]

this is what I somewhat believe as well, but how can BB still be the final villain after the OP is found for Final War?

[runic dock]

The reasons for his goals are not clear , it could be revenge for rocks but we don’t know that at all , You’d have to be assuming , it could be revenge for the entire Davy clan, I doubt you know any of this for a fact , none of us do

[charred flower]

I'm honestly glad that even 1100+ chapters in I'm still not sure which is the biggest threat

[keen quiver]

Teach's goal is the throne the op is a stepping stool

[thick mango]

Id kinda like it if oda wrote like 15 chapters at once in a volume and released that

[keen quiver]

Seems pretty clear

[runic dock]

Oda’s interview said the series ends when op is found

[ashen perch]

its pretty simple, the OP being found does not equal the OP being used

[lofty fern]

That happens when anybody moves. Everyone has a part to play

[runic dock]

I’m still trying to make sense of that

[brittle basin]

ah i forgot about this. shit

[ashen perch]

same

[brittle basin]

maybe he changed his mind lol

[noble carbon]

We don't even know what the one piece is

[lofty fern]

Oda has changed his mind many times, I think that might be up in the air

[hot cairn]

he also said in that interview that OP was ending in 3 years

[warm falcon]

i'd prefer OP would be monthly at this height.. but i know weekly sells more

[ashen perch]

not on the final saga and the ending.

[hot cairn]

fair

[pulsar timber]

No monthly thank you very much

[brittle basin]

"Nami boobed down the stairs boobily"

[warm falcon]

more done with care

[runic dock]

I blame Oda for it yeah because I believe it’s fully intentional , not accidental fuck up Oda character progression , he’s only carefully slowly unraveling bits and pieces of bb as we go along , ever since chapter 200whatever

[keen quiver]

We have no idea what davy's promise is

[royal orchid]

little paper note saying

Todo: Place treasure here
-joyboy

[keen quiver]

Rocks died before he said anything more on it

The only one that would know is maybe imu if he heard it and eris who was likely told rock's plan

[brittle basin]

I like to think about the average reader. It's probably easy to go "damn, I haven't seen BB in forever. what did he do last time?"

[runic dock]

Yeah , exactly , there’s so many unknowns as to what made BB begin all of his goals and shit
Meanwhile we are starting to see a rough outline of Imu’s

[charred flower]

I think Oda and his right hand editor have said that OP will end "soon" like... 7-9 times? They've changed a lot of things if you ask me

[ashen perch]

What this doesnt say is that the story will end at Laugh Tale, it only says that the story wraps up when the big story of what the One Piece is wraps up. This is not something that has to be resolved by Laugh Tale, if the One Piece for example is something to be utilised at the Red Line in Marie Geoise in Pangaea Castle to reveal its full truth.

[keen quiver]

We still have no idea what the relationship between imu and davy was

[hot cairn]

so you guys are more inclined for BB as the final villain? Even if the fight for the One Piece is before final war?

[keen quiver]

Outside of some lasting hatred for 800 years

[warm falcon]

dunno, i feel it'd do better to the work..

[keen quiver]

Like I said stepping stone

[ashen perch]

I dont think those were ever meant to be serious, given Oda's last statement about it lol

just a marketing tactic

[runic dock]

When talking about joyboy and imu , I believe Davy jones is just as vital to that whole formula , but I agree

[pulsar timber]

I don’t like waiting

[runic dock]

There was some kind of quadratic relationship between Davy , joyboy , imu , lily at the very least

[keen quiver]

We are getting more on joyboy, I imagine if teach makes any big moves. Imu is gonna ramble about davy jones.

[lofty fern]

Any avenue that BB takes, I assure you I've already thought of. Him wanting revenge or not caring at all. Him doing a high stakes plan to take over or just being oppertunistic. What is clear is that he's selfish and he wants power for himself for whatever reason. If he does become final villain. I'll be very disappointed, probably finish the series because I've invested all this time, but I won't be half as interested as I am now.

[opal gull]

He is the perfect Rival for Luffy for the One Piece specially with all the parallels he has with him. But I see him being stopped right before getting the OP. Thats where his story ends and Luffy gets the win in the race for the OP

Then as we know the one with the OP can change the balance of the world and so on. Luffy will portray freedom and Imu is the opposite of that. So Imu vs Luffy will be the last fight

[warm falcon]

the more wait, the better the prize

lymbic system

[hot cairn]

I can see that yeah

[brittle basin]

I'm cool with either direction Oda goes. I originally thought BB's fight against Luffy would be for the OP and that Imu would be for the world. But the Rocks flashback and BB's desire for "the world" (i.e. Imu is the world) changed what I think Oda is going to do. For now, I'm assuming BB will kill Imu, usurp the throne, and become the final battle.

[pulsar timber]

This fandom is really hung up on the title of final villain for two characters that are being dealt with last anyways

[keen quiver]

The world spread sealed that for me

[hot cairn]

I'm not a fan of the BB killing Imu theories, it sounds very boring

[keen quiver]

Also imu showing his abilities like this is not a good sign

[charred flower]

Joy Boy - IMU - Davy
Luffy - IMU - BB
Or Luffy - Sabo - Ace? (I know the last one is a stretch, but the 3 brothers theory has some potential)

[keen quiver]

Oda still hasnt explained how teach has 2 fruits

The best time to do that is when he does it again

[runic dock]

Bb’s moves during and after this arc grow more and more interesting to find out about even due to the nature of this arc itself , the more I find out about imu and joyboy the more interested in Davy and Bb I become

[brittle basin]

Execution is what ultimately matters. I trust Oda to take a boring concept and make it interesting. Granted, he could also screw the whole thing up.

[ashen perch]

Oda still hasnt explained how Imu has the ability to give out 7 different Devil Fruits (atleast)

[lofty fern]

I think Eris knew parts but probably not all, especially from what we've seen from Teach. I think Rocks knew at least all he could know, but himself also didn't know everything. The only one who does currently isn't telling

[keen quiver]

If people think teach is dying before that becomes a massive reveal 😭

[ashen perch]

Imu is more mysterious than BB, lets not play this game

[formal wagon]

lmfao 😭 that aspect of one piece would be insane in text

[keen quiver]

Imu is pretty bland rn

I'm ngl

[noble carbon]

You guys think anyone will genuinely find the One Piece submarine

[charred flower]

While coughing... blood/Maki

[brittle basin]

For me it was when Rocks said he would return. I thought it was Oda using Rocks as a mouthpiece for the reader to say "ok, this line is important. i'm not trying to be subtle about it either."

[runic dock]

Inb4 imu was offered to be a D

Or could’ve been if things had been different

[noble carbon]

I'd hope not but it'd genuinely be hilarious if it is

[runic dock]

WAIT

PACTS

omen and D

They’re th same

Both pacts in a way

[keen quiver]

Inb4 the narrator starts yammering about what allows teach to have multiple fruits as he takes imu's fruit

[brittle basin]

Yea, Imu is pretty much more mysterious by definintion. It's like an objective fact.

[hot cairn]

who's more mysterious...? BB or Imu

choose your final villain

but jokes aside

[ashen perch]

yeah

[glacial herald]

BB

[brittle basin]

Imu is more mysterious, but I think it might be BB. Either is good though.

[hot cairn]

Imu being here on Elbaph doesnt mean nothing bad

[lofty fern]

Imu has a ton of mysteries about him that are only now beginning to be explored, that's what fascinates me so much about him

[runic dock]

Imu got jealous of joyboy and made his own “D” by way of omen pacts, a more superficial and literal way of expressing pacts

[hot cairn]

it could be a chance for Imu to meet Luffy before the final battle

[charred flower]

I think Davy went rogue, killed Joy Boy or made something horrible happen and IMU went berserk on him swearing to stop all freedom

[keen quiver]

Davy killing joyboy ?

[hot cairn]

but I'm 50/50 on the final villain

it can go either way I feel

I'm happy with both

[brittle basin]

I wonder how little Luffy will care about Imu besides "you oppress people, i must stop you."

[thick mango]

it can go either way but i would be more happy with blackbeard

[dark nymph]

can't decide tbh, both are great 😭

[runic dock]

You making it sound more and more possible that imu could’ve had D too

[hot cairn]

true

[charred flower]

One is an imposition that makes you lose control, the other makes you part of something that helps and nurtures you if you need it

[dark nymph]

Oda could go either way and it would work

[pulsar timber]

Shanks

Is the final villain

[brittle basin]

Evil Shanks lives on

[thick mango]

shanks is due for a conflict with bb that he might not make it out of

[runic dock]

Imposition that makes you lose control but goes you power but also makes you belong part of a group

D does it without force

[pulsar timber]

It’s gonna be glorious when this manga ends with shanks alive

I look forward to it

[lofty fern]

I find Imu more mysterious by far. I can see BB being the final villain, but I really enjoy Imu far more as a character, so I've been pulling for him as final villain almost since he was introduced.

[charred flower]

I believe D. Is basically a way of calling yourself, it started as a signal that you were part of the civilization in laughtale 800 years ago, similar to joining a crew

[ashen perch]

it wont end with him alive

[brittle basin]

I want to know more about Imu he is interesting.

[ashen perch]

but BB wont be the one killing him

[noble carbon]

Honestly I'm kinda glad Im didn't just dog walk everyone on Elbaf

Him getting hurt by Loki + Ragnir is cool

[dark nymph]

Yeah, I really want to know more about Imu atm, as for BB that sense of mystery has dulled a bit after so long

[noble carbon]

Though I'm ready to eat my words when he pulls out the super evil Devil Bajrang Gun next chapter

[charred flower]

But once he gets the "sun" /mother flame

[leaden rivet]

People thought Oda would massively power cliff his story for no reason

[brittle basin]

I'm still hoping Imu fucks things up.

Gear 5 needs to meet its match

badly

[hot cairn]

cook

[leaden rivet]

Gear 5’s match was Kizaru

[hot cairn]

agreed

[brittle basin]

If Imu is kept at bay somewhat easily, then I'm 100% confident BB is the final villain.

[thick mango]

how about a compromise, imu can win in a convincing fashion but to get that we also need to have a skip of a few hours so we dont have to trudge through all the punching

[dark nymph]

Oda's doing a good job in balancing both Loki hype and Imu hype atm

[brittle basin]

no no I want to see the fighting. I've waited a long time for this

[noble carbon]

Wonder if we'll ever see Ragnirs hyrid form

A combo attack from Loki and Ragnir together would be sick

[brittle basin]

Imu not having a great display at Elbaf and still being the final villain may only work if they have to fight him again at Marijoa where he may not have to worry about any weakness/time limit.

[pulsar timber]

Imu is already having a great display

[opal gull]

yeah if that happens then BB is Final Villain

but yeah I am hoping that doesnt happen, I mean it shouldnt tbh

[pulsar timber]

Loki is probably the strongest or second strongest pirate in the world

[spiral sapphire]

OR hear me out. He absorbs all god knights and elders in the end and becomes much stronger again

[pulsar timber]

And imu is handling him without much trouble

[hot cairn]

isnt this the hybrid?

[dark nymph]

That will definitely be the case, this all works cause Imu is weakened. (I don't wanna use the word nerfed 😭 )

[noble carbon]

Forgot about this

Wanted it to be something like Lassoo the Gun-Dog's Hybrid form

[lofty fern]

I think it was more of argument of ideologies. Like the Dark and Light side of the force, Democracy vs Autocracy, submission vs dominion. I think there may have been an innocent time where Imu and Joyboy (maybe both princes of their perspective kingdoms) were able to get along, but then at some point, things took a turn and one became king and had a different outlook and everything went bad.
I think Davy, because of how his name is known even less than either of these 2, he might have been an enemy the two fought together at some point.

[prisma yacht]

im so excited for lokis hybrid

[spiral sapphire]

if it's anything like kaido, sick

[noble carbon]

Something like this

[brittle basin]

Nerfedmu

[prisma yacht]

i believe he was on all fours

[dark nymph]

Imu was mentally nerfed this chapter

[digital spear]

Mr. 4s beloved gun

[ashen perch]

man

[noble carbon]

I just can't wait till G5 vs Im

It's gonna be so good man

Though I have to say

[brittle basin]

Compromise: we get to see Imu literally eat them

[prisma yacht]

mm

[spiral sapphire]

i wish

[brittle basin]

G5 maybe showing up next chapter (in two weeks). Maybe at the end?

[noble carbon]

Im has to convincingly beat G5 Luffy, and then maybe suffer the consequences of the time limit

[prisma yacht]

g5 and hybrid loki vs imu

gahdamn

[ashen perch]

I love how silly Imu's abilities are, its gonna make for a perfect match with Gear 5

[spiral sapphire]

yea I think luffy will save loki

[hot cairn]

I'm so hyped for it

[prisma yacht]

also only 4 chapters more until we get the name of ancient kingdom

[lofty fern]

I think there's a reason Biblo still hasn't shown and the books got moved, and it wasn't just because of the fire. I still think something really bad is going to happen to Elbaph, though if that is Imu or Loki, I don't know.

[noble carbon]

D-Landia

[prisma yacht]

wani land

[lofty fern]

I'm also concerned as to what Killy and Sommers are doing

[brittle basin]

second half of elbaf soon?

[lofty fern]

You think them silly?

[spiral sapphire]

yea wonder how powered up they will be

[noble carbon]

Zoro and Sanjis opponents for this arc probably

[warm falcon]

shanks is so loved, that if the author plans to kill him, we have a backup

[noble carbon]

Or maybe the straw hats team up on them

[lofty fern]

Nah, I think Elbaph just ends on a downer

[noble carbon]

Gunko is probably walking around by now

[lofty fern]

I don't think we have a lot of time left

[opal gull]

the name is Romance Dawn

[brittle basin]

oh ok. RIP heaven realm.

[spiral sapphire]

did we actually see her break out?

[prisma yacht]

lol

[noble carbon]

Nope

But like

[lofty fern]

I think Zoro and Sanji are out right now, and they're obeying orders of some kind

[opal gull]

Shammy dies instead of Shanks

[noble carbon]

Im blew up the giant ice block and ran off

I doubt its the exact same

[spiral sapphire]

Ragnir's ice is supposed to be undestroyable

[noble carbon]

No

It's supposed to be unmeltable

[spiral sapphire]

only he can destroy it i think

so will see if imu can

[prisma yacht]

its what we know as of now

[lofty fern]

I don't think he would just shoot that thing and keep moving if it didn't work

[prisma yacht]

with the confidence imu just blew the ice

[spiral sapphire]

we didn't see it though

and i think that's with purpose

[prisma yacht]

it convinced me that the ice will break

[noble carbon]

Exactly yeah

[lofty fern]

That's the thing, you don't need to. Oda wouldn't have done it without a reason. And it's not just to show the block still standing there

[noble carbon]

Would be kinda funny if he just blew it up and then left it alone

[spiral sapphire]

we will see

[noble carbon]

Without even back checking

[spiral sapphire]

he's on a time limit, remember

he doesn't double check

[noble carbon]

He's already accomplished most of his goals

Bring back the God Knights

[spiral sapphire]

that doesn't go against what i said

[noble carbon]

Fuck shit up on Elbaf

And then fight Luffy / Loki

I just cannot imagine we see Im specifically blow up the massive ice block just for Gunko to stay the exact same

Just feels like a needless Ragnir upscale if that's the case

Especially when we already have the Galleila giants back in PH

[brittle basin]

Fucking Oda. There's gonna be a squirrel in the final showdown.

[noble carbon]

!pfp @brittle basin

[tropic nova]

Here is @brittle basin's avatar.

[noble carbon]

Top 10 in the verse btw

[dark nymph]

Luffys joining after next chapter

[noble carbon]

Hilarious that I'm not even joking

[dark nymph]

after Loki gets his ass kicked

[spiral sapphire]

yea i get you but with the backstory of the giants im having some doubts, that's all

[urban lodge]

It's time for Yamato to fade into obscurity

[brittle basin]

Kind of funny we're watching a Squirrel in the hands of a giant face down what is more or less the Satan of the story lol

[noble carbon]

What other reason could there be for them freezing for hundreds if not thousands of years

[noble carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/luffy-its-peak-cry-one-piece-one-piece-peak-its-peak-gif-3269189837023001972

Kinda funny how many recent allies we have with ice powers

First it was Yamato

[brittle basin]

yamato, ragnir

[noble carbon]

Not it's Ragnir

Oda really likes his ice powers

[brittle basin]

kuzan

[spiral sapphire]

nah u misunderstood me, i meant. they can't be freed unless ragnir does it himself. so that's why im having doubts Imu freed her.

[brittle basin]

monet

[noble carbon]

Can't even blame him ice is cool as hell

[brittle basin]

did kaido use ice? or only wind and fire

[noble carbon]

I assumed "freed" just meant if they're left alone, not when the ice block is just destroyed by an outside party

[ocean sigil]

What if Gunko regains her memories when she sees Brooks corpse and attacks Imu? Telling everyone that she knows about the weakness Xebec back then uncovered and then they defeat Imu? Blackbeard final villain would be guaranteed!!!

[lofty fern]

I think the point is that Imu is more powerful than Ragnir so even if that was what Loki believes, he's getting a lesson today in power

[noble carbon]

Lame and cringe

[ocean sigil]

Imagine WG falls this arc..

[noble carbon]

If that happens Gunko is genuinely not leaving alive

Im reorders his priorities to see her eviscerated like he did with Saturn

[ocean sigil]

Even if it is my perfect theory, I'd hate it.

[noble carbon]

Even if it means taking a big hit from Loki

[brittle basin]

man this break sucks

[lofty fern]

Considering she can't disobey him, that would kind of hard

[brittle basin]

i want combat

GIVE ME BLOOD

[hot cairn]

it looks like they're both knocked out

[ocean sigil]

I think her body cant disobey him iirc harald could talk while killing his comrades

[hot cairn]

surprisingly

[noble carbon]

Not for long obviously

[urban lodge]

Sanji getting ragdolled by Imu's haki was very funny

[noble carbon]

Sanji is just super tough with his exo skeleton and Zoro seemed to still be conscious last chapter

[lofty fern]

Does that really sound like Gunko though?

[noble carbon]

Chopper talks to him directly telling him to go inside

[ocean sigil]

No I wouldn't like that outcome but everything possible wjth Oda

[noble carbon]

Also yeah I doubt Gunko has been brainwashed all her life

She seemed perfect lucid back in God Valley

[icy magnet]

yes invest in Chopper

[pulsar timber]

Sanji highkey got it way worse than Zoro

[urban lodge]

She very clearly was Youss

[icy magnet]

Chopper will be the all purpose medicine

[noble carbon]

Am I misremembering something?

[lofty fern]

It was kinda up in the air of what that really meant. If Zoro was really concious he would go to Luffy's side and follow Imu even if he was beat the crap

[noble carbon]

Like Sommers for example

He's just an asshole

[urban lodge]

All her old memories have been suppressed

[noble carbon]

Ah fair enough

[urban lodge]

It doesn't have to be a constant thing

[noble carbon]

Been a bit

[pulsar timber]

The little flashback we had of her had her crying for her father and being jolly with brook. Imu probably brainwashed her after he kidnapped her

Why her though. Gunko flashback gonn go crazy

[icy magnet]

wait what does that mean?

[lofty fern]

We actually don't know that. We don't even know if she's been brainwashed at all

[urban lodge]

Isn't it pretty obvious

[noble carbon]

Not particularly

[urban lodge]

Imu even says "your memories are returning"

[lofty fern]

Probably but not certain.

[noble carbon]

She could be in it for the love of the game

Like Sommers

[icy magnet]

oh it's the guys name smh

[brittle basin]

She has been mind controlled by Imu since childhood. But it's a kind of mind control where Gunko is free to do what they want but Imu can directly control them at any time. But also I bet Imu has parameters set in Gunko's mind where if she goes outside the rules Imu has set in her mind, something triggers in his powers and he recontrols her.

[noble carbon]

Dude was having the time of his life for like an hour or two

[lofty fern]

We could say that about Sabo 2 years ago

[prisma yacht]

[pulsar timber]

It’s certain for sure. Her memories have changed and it’s clear Oda is setting up a misunderstanding between her and brook. Likely manipulated and brainwashed

Been supressed*

Can’t spell

[urban lodge]

Oda even set up that Imu can literally turn your very thoughts evil

[noble carbon]

We haven't seen actual Im use Domi Reversi yet right?

[icy magnet]

in his trinity of dominion, corruption and covenant both play a big role when it comes to characterising Gunko

[pulsar timber]

Nope

[brittle basin]

clear as freshly windexed glass. the second Brook talked shit about her you just knew there was a misunderstanding

[noble carbon]

Weird

[pulsar timber]

Just possessionmu

[lofty fern]

Her memories didn't change, she just didn't have any of that time

[noble carbon]

Reversid Hajrudin would be crazy strong

[icy magnet]

i would agree that Imu corrupted Gunko definitely

[lofty fern]

It's possible, but nothing is certain

[pulsar timber]

I corrected it to suppressed

[icy magnet]

not until Chopper cures the corruption just watch

[brittle basin]

Gunko is a combination of mind control and brainwashing and they compliment each other

[urban lodge]

That's effectively the same thing

[prisma yacht]

Pls no haj

[clever idol]

Rlly wanna know where hajrudins character is going

[noble carbon]

Oh yeah chopper

Wonder what's up with him

[icy magnet]

I could see that Omen is seen as an illness and that's why Chopper can cure it

[pulsar timber]

If you were to lock away someone’s memories and raise them in that type of environment they’d become a shit person

[noble carbon]

Surely it's not yet another mythical Zoan right

[icy magnet]

he did say he'd become the all purpose medicine

[near sun]

Deal with the devil, shit Loki said it best really making it look like we about to get a flash back of joyboy eating the sun nika fruit & imu eating whatever devil power he has

[clever idol]

For someone set up to potentiallt unite all giants ge doesnt feel as important as he should

[icy magnet]

man i had enough of it too but with Chopper it's been soooo obvious

[noble carbon]

Ehhhh

[dark nymph]

I will take any explanation that's not this

[noble carbon]

For the most part it's been working like a regular devil fruit

[urban lodge]

Not to mention Imu can literally just turn on a switch that makes you evil like he did with Harald

[lofty fern]

Not really. I can also see Gunko having amnesia either through an accident or trauma. She is brought to the holy land where she already had connections and then Imu takes notice of her and takes her in. She still has no memories but he cares for her regardless

[near sun]

I mean it’s against imu he quite literally cooked these boys. Least Loki got a hit in & still fighting

[pulsar timber]

I think his journey will come with truly reconciling with Loki, and his arc and journey to unite giant king starts here. As a king with Loki

[noble carbon]

Hajrudin is the older brother right?

[pulsar timber]

Yes

[urban lodge]

We're not redoing Sabo all over again

[lofty fern]

That only happens if your resist, he doesn't do it all the time

[clever idol]

Not rlly talking about thus specifiv confrontation but rather this entire arc

[icy magnet]

well mostly we never had a correct reveal for him with a model and all, every other human-human fruit has turned to something great or mythical for now like Buddha and Nika i could be forgetting some here

[noble carbon]

He's so tiny in comparison

[lofty fern]

Oda's used Amnesia more than once already

[icy magnet]

then there was that SBS i forgot the answer but the question where someone asked Oda what would happen if a human ate Choppers fruit let me get that rq

[urban lodge]

The implication from Imu's dialogue indicates he's responsible

[near sun]

Eh I mean Loki has his own personality a big idc personality tbh he’s just like his father when his dad was younger time may change him

[clever idol]

Id like it if loki says he should be king tbb

[dark nymph]

Gaining enlightenment = letting go of your desire for power >> Chopper touching them allows them to achieve this

[icy magnet]

just look bruh he KNOWS it's not a human human fruit

[clever idol]

Sure but im talking about how hajrudin hasnt been given as much panel time and story as his counterpart

[noble carbon]

Stuff like that usually happens at the end of the arc Albair

When the main conflict is over

[clever idol]

He got none of his dads genes

[brittle basin]

I'm not sure if Oda had Chopper having a special fruit or not that early. If so, he sure was extremely confident that he would make good on that 1000 chapters later lol

[noble carbon]

Like in Dressrosa

[clever idol]

Ida's genes are strong af

[pulsar timber]

Have faith in the Odaster

[runic dock]

I think something similar yeah , it’s very possible , still got no idea what it actually stands for tho

[clever idol]

Yea i know

[lofty fern]

I don't think anything was said to indicate that, more so people's perceptions and interpretation of the words. All he said was "are your memories returning?" and then he go upset at Brook for messing with Gunko. It would be interesting if he was possessive and protective of her and that's why he was saying what he did

[clever idol]

I should specify. I want loki to acknowledge hajrudin as the rightful king of elbaph. That would be a nice start tp.Hajrudins goal

[near sun]

I mean Hajrudin the same dude who had difficulty beating a 10 ton fruit user of pure fodder. After being a toy for who knows how long. He ain’t even got the right genes like Loki or the haki… the difference is uncanny

[icy magnet]

I do think he has to have atleast the power system thought out from the very beginning, haki came in later aswell but I think he had it all thought out with devil fruits

[prisma yacht]

I want haj to step up and shine

[clever idol]

Same

[prisma yacht]

Ik he has got it

[brittle basin]

For now, until he gives an interview, I'm going to assume not everything was 100% fleshed out and he probably changed or updated stuff as the years went on in terms of powers systems.

[near sun]

Like k know the big brother suppose to be stronger but damn they made Loki deviously more powerful 😂

[clever idol]

Feels weird hes not given the same treatment

[pulsar timber]

It’ll happen. I think Oda saved hajurdin from a dehabilitating blow for a reason

[dark nymph]

I think him becoming king of elbaf is an eos thing, but then again Carrots (incompetent for the role) is ruler of Zou so who knows

[runic dock]

He was even more malicious than Loki lol

At least Loki always found justifications , meanwhile bro’s foot slipped lmao

[icy magnet]

Because with devil fruits the lore is always so stupidly crazy whereas with Haki it was always just yk like back then they didn't train conquerers coating, pre timeskip there were like 2 instances of haki and none of the top tiers used haki pre timeskip and all that, haki basically came in later i guess but devil fruits are most likely all thought through from the beginning

[prisma yacht]

Dude 10k tons is a lot btw....and he defeated this guy without haki...

[near sun]

He just might he doesn’t hate his brother he hides his emotions well but he does care

[lofty fern]

I'm seeing Loki deciding to leave again after this is over, but he tells them to put Hajrudin in charge and that he would make a much better king than him. Which would be huge for Loki considering how he started out

[urban lodge]

It doesn't contextually make sense to say this to someone who lost their memory in an accident or whatever

[icy magnet]

maybe he's a caring parental figure to his henchmen

[clever idol]

Just wanna say that uh it appears to me carrpt was given the role because she took a similar path as neko and inurashi. They acknowledge she has what it takes. She will grow into it.

[runic dock]

Yeah he’s not protective of her wtf 💀

[clever idol]

Would be a nice character arc

[runic dock]

Possessive more like

[clever idol]

Loki ultimately respects his fathers dream and he must know hajrudin has the same goal

[icy magnet]

he's just caring

[lofty fern]

How? All he's saying is her memory coming back. I'd say that to a person today who lost their memory in the real world. "Hey, Are you okay? Are your memories coming back or something?"

[urban lodge]

I don't know how that even crosses your mind tbh lol

[icy magnet]

Oda is depicting him as evil because he's an unreliable narrator guys

[runic dock]

It’s implying suppression by imu , STRONG imply , not really room to interpret it otherwise

[prisma yacht]

I mean I can see this happening by the end of this arc. I want him to get more than this

[icy magnet]

don't fall for the propaganda

[brittle basin]

Imu is suppressing their memory through a variation of mind control.

[near sun]

Yeah but considering who his brother & father was… like at that time Luffy, sanji, zoro could’ve bested that red balloon. Even more so now.. like bro your father big Harald in his time he was basically top 3 in the verse imu, rocks, Harald that was HIMMM then Loki second coming of Harald like bro Oda you showed Hajrudin too soon why did you give this man a STACKED family like this😭

[runic dock]

Gunko, is this memory coming back?? SUPRESSES like come on lol

[urban lodge]

Imu's entire character can be defined by the need to control

[icy magnet]

go back to the owls pet name is biblu

[lofty fern]

There's room because I'm interepreting it that way. YOU can choose to disagree, but I'm allowed to read it in my own way even if you disagree Earl.

[icy magnet]

Imu is using Corruption on Gunko

[formal wagon]

Lol it's only about time he unlocks conqs 😼

[runic dock]

You can be wrong then I guess , what I mean is basically confirmed

[formal wagon]

imu. thematically.

[prisma yacht]

It's kind of a bet...

[runic dock]

Sorry should’ve used stronger wording

It’s confirmed he’s suppressing her

[icy magnet]

i feel disappointed from the very depths of my heart

how could you drop the biblu name

[lofty fern]

Until there's a panel that says "I AM SUPRESSING HER" it has not be confirmed. We are both allowed to be wrong and right. We shall see with time.

[prisma yacht]

This is why my opps gave me this name😔💔

[runic dock]

what kind of a story you reading where someone blatantly says stuff like that

[pulsar timber]

We don’t need to be told he’s suppressing her

[urban lodge]

That's kinda ridiculous

[icy magnet]

who are your opps

That's what "confirmation" means, Earl. Sorry you're just discovering that. Until then, everything is conjecture

Yes

It was given by saul

[icy magnet]

you're stronger than that!!

[urban lodge]

Things can be confirmed without being said out loud

[thin quest]

are we seriously trying to argue Gunko isn't brainwashed and controlled by Imu?

[wraith mantle]

Give an example

[prisma yacht]

You gave him the idea.

[prisma yacht]

Oh did he leave again

[runic dock]

Yeah idk lol

[lofty fern]

That would interesting to see them do in LA

[urban lodge]

Idk, I don't need Oda to tell me "Marcus Mars used conquerors in Egghead" when we can see him using it

[icy magnet]

tell them

[lofty fern]

I'm just opening for other options. Maybe he is surpressing her, maybe he isn't. But nothing is confirmed yet, so theories can still be posed

[runic dock]

to be able to confirm things without blatantly screaming them into the camera is the sign of a good writer

[sturdy steeple]

I don’t need Oda to tell me Marcus Mars is the greatest Gorosei either because that’s just factual.

[pulsar timber]

So do yall think imu can give people coc

[runic dock]

They’d be bad ones

Hey I make bad ones too it’s alright

[lofty fern]

Sure, of course Earl.

[ornate tartan]

u can’t give people haki

[runic dock]

You’ll get used to making bad theories

[pulsar timber]

You’ll wear them like armor

god knights:

excluding Shamrock and Gunko

[pulsar timber]

I bet imu could

[ornate tartan]

if that was the case every holy knight would have conquerors

[pulsar timber]

They aren’t a deep enough rank to allow it

[prisma yacht]

Then he can only give it to the gorosei

[ornate tartan]

i think it’s impossible to give another living being something like willpower/haki

[prisma yacht]

Limited offer

[pulsar timber]

Imu breaks all logic

[lofty fern]

Anyway, I'd like to see how Imu and Gunko met and how she was connected to the holy land. Why Imu took her in as a servant but she didn't become a Blade and Knight until much later. The fact that the big level contracts can only be done by freely agreeing to them is interesting. Gunko would have had to agree to each one.
My current idea is that she was at a very low point in her life after what happened with her father, and she made her own deal with the devil as it were.

[pulsar timber]

Imu can hand out devil fruit powers it seems like

[hot cairn]

nope, I think he's not using it now cause it aint working on Loki and Luffy

[pulsar timber]

Haki is just willpower

[ornate tartan]

devil fruits are still in essence a external power

[pulsar timber]

Haki is willpower. Imu grants his followers willpower and a piece of god

Goatmu

[lofty fern]

I think every person has their own levels of haki they come with. Imu's contracts given them other abilities but their haki is their own. And maybe the higher up they go, they can gain maki too?

[prisma yacht]

If the devil wants to dance with you , you better say never

[lofty fern]

It means will power but it's basically the magic system of the world

[prisma yacht]

[muted hedge]

we'll probably see it in Brooks flashback

personally i think that Imu wanted the land of whoever the king was

and Gunko was used to gain it

[lofty fern]

I don't know how much Brook knows.

[urban lodge]

Nothing

He's an idiot

[lofty fern]

I don't think Imu wants land

[wraith mantle]

lol

[muted hedge]

it could've been an important island

[urban lodge]

But we can still see it in the flashback without Brook knowing

[muted hedge]

maybe even the origin of the weapon which Imu uses

[dense haven]

@lofty fern thoughts on soyjak imu

[lofty fern]

Even now he doesn't want the land of Elbaph only the people

[muted hedge]

the one which blew up Lulusia

[lofty fern]

What is that?

[muted hedge]

yeah since the giants are the most important part of Elbaph

other islands could've had something else which is more important

like, an ancient weapon

Elbaf is the top 1 arc

People are idiots and so is the admin (however funny the timer is)

[iron oriole]

Why don't you just wait 10 years & read the last chapter smh

[plucky plover]

The Intro, the cover, or the whole manga?

[prisma yacht]

Bro i skipped the whole series fuck u talking about

[obtuse perch]

pfp checks out

[haughty saddle]

True, read Kagurabachi instead

[modest eagle]

You didn't ask me but I'll insert my opinion anyway.
8/10, could be bumped up to a 9.

Intro is a bit boring, the toy intro is cool and all but it was kind of boring.
I don't really care about the school kids (anime might make me though).
Gaban is cool, but he just seems like a Rayleigh 2.0 as a Haki teacher for Luffy.
Robin reunion was sad, anime is going to let it burn harder.

Shit instantly picks up into peak territory post-mural.

[lilac anchor]

Everything till the last panel

[olive flicker]

Lol bruhh

[pulsar timber]

Don’t read Kagurabachi unless you need poor battle shonen eats

[runic dock]

Trueee

[prisma yacht]

Hate

[runic dock]

Read Usogui instead also

[plucky plover]

They'll be disappointed in it anyway when they find out Oda'll never reveal the One Piece.

[thick maple]

Middest of the middle mid slop

[prisma yacht]

Why is there a slowmo😭

[haughty saddle]

You have poor taste, I’m sorry

[pulsar timber]

How could you say gaban is a Rayleigh copy. They’re almost opposites in what they value

[haughty saddle]

Love you to death and always

Someone is mad JJK is about to become irrelevant

[plucky plover]

Gaban is a Shiki copy

I mean this channel

[plucky plover]

Sadly... there is.

marineford , fishman , dressrosa, whole cake , zou - when i was trying to catch up
nothing wrong in it , trust me

Which team did he coach?

[modest eagle]

Bro just casually skipped the best villain in the entire series + 3 of the craziest lore arcs.

[lilac anchor]

Who put a 5 sec cooldown here!?

[sharp kite]

Luffy

[hot cairn]

I love Gaban, I think he’s very different from Rayleigh. I have the arc as an 8 too. Depends on how it ends could be a 9 or a 10.

[lilac anchor]

Bum

[hot cairn]

literally

[runic dock]

Excuse me I didn’t know your taste was so refined

Sigh fine, read kosaku shima

[modest eagle]

The only 10/10 arc for me personally is Enies Lobby.

[runic dock]

I can’t gatekeep anymore

[plucky plover]

Same one who put it at 5 minutes in the other room.

[thick maple]

Peak

[runic dock]

Now we’re talkin

[sharp kite]

I won't gatekeep anymore. Berserk best manga

[grave crypt]

No one voted for a timer here so at least the admin abuse is getting worse!!!

[forest jacinth]

Is slowmode also 5 minutes here?

Yay

[modest eagle]

"I won't gatekeep"

inserts an opinion even Oda himself would probably agree on

[runic dock]

It’s 0 for me

[hot cairn]

I can agree with that, what are your top 5 arcs?

[sharp kite]

They might as well be the Celestial Dragons

[grand flower]

That might drive a wedge between them. With what happened to Barto, yall think we heading to antagonist shanks?

[split pelican]

i also thought of skipping wano

[prisma yacht]

There are so many 10/10 arcs in one piece lmfao

[ruby moat]

Nah

[haughty saddle]

I hope so

[split pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-laugh-ai-baby-babyfryingme-baby-sob-folk-gif-18221933230434867320

[sharp kite]

Wano could be a 10 but its about 100 chapters too long

[split pelican]

WHOLE CAKE ISLANDDDDD 😡

[grand zinc]

Thank god there's a second manga chat

[runic dock]

They should make a college course all about how luffy would react to bartolomeo getting blown up by shanks

[graceful grove]

Would love to see luffy demolishing shanks and feeding him to the lord of the coast

[split pelican]

by a dead beat dad

[ashen perch]

I am sure Luffy will be mad about Barto but I do not necessarily think it will lead to conflict

[plucky plover]

That implies photorealistic drawings with color, flawless plot and dialogue, and characters that are as loved and as hated as the author intends to.

I have seen no manga live up to that.

[grand zinc]

Go on

[modest eagle]

1. Enies Lobby
2. Sabaody
3. Marineford
4. Alabasta
5. Impel Down

(Dressorosa would instantly be skyrocketed to 3 if it had better pacing)

[haughty saddle]

It will certainly be the beginning of whatever conflict they do end up having, though, no?

[grand zinc]

Just read dressrosa

[runic dock]

Idk if luffy would even be mad , he never wanted a grand fleet , he didn’t want tht extra responsibility lowkey , but if they’re willing to help him out when time comes he’d take their help

[prisma yacht]

Alabasta saga
Skypiea saga
Water 7 saga
Summit war saga
Dressrosa
Wci
Wano

[hot cairn]

I’m not sure tbh, the seeds are there but I think the first encounter between them will be wholesome. They can disagree on things later down the line tho. That’s how I see it going down. It would be really interesting if Shanks wants Luffy to go one way because he has to and Luffy actually not fw that because of him doing what he wants.

[haughty saddle]

I don’t see Oda having Luffy glance off something that important to his role as a commodore this close to their relevance being brought back up again, assumedly

[ashen perch]

It could be part of it yeah, but I think the main conflict will be centred around the One Piece and what kind of era Shanks wants to create

[grand zinc]

All of those are 10 out of 10? You lost your mind pal

[ashen perch]

also Barto's a friend before hes a GF member

[split pelican]

1. WHOLE CAKE ISLAND
2. Enies Lobby
3. Marineford
4. Alabasta

[prisma yacht]

Yes 10/10

[ashen perch]

Luffy will be mad for just that, it doesnt matter if he doesnt really care about having the GF

[hot cairn]

nice list. Dressrosa is on my top 5 because I read it in the manga. It’s such a peak arc

[ashen perch]

they are all friends to him

[grave crypt]

Alabasta peak

[runic dock]

True…luffy would have to feel about shanks something he’s never felt in his life then: hostility , but the way he snapped at loki for talking about shanks , it’s hard for me to picture that right now

[pulsar timber]

Wci is the third worst post timeskip arc

[runic dock]

It’s the best one piece arc period

[hot cairn]

what do you guys think? @ashen perch @runic dock

[modest eagle]

However here's the thing though.

There is no bad/mid arc to me post-East Blue outside of FMI and LRLL.

Long Ring Long Land took me 5 days to get through because it was just.... so boring.

[prisma yacht]

Skill issue

[hot cairn]

third worst? Whats your list Caleb

[split pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/it's-time-to-stop-gif-9416155803997449261

[runic dock]

It might be wholesome in the first minute yeah , but I guess I could see the Barto stuff being like the shakky stuff , it’s a fuse to light the fire , but the bigger conflict will revolve around deeper issues

[split pelican]

WCI is literally the best

[ashen perch]

yeah this is more in line with what I am expecting, the Barto thing will come to light a bit later than their reunion and that is when he can ask Shanks to address it

[runic dock]

Facts

[ashen perch]

I feel like the reunion itself will be smiles and giggles

[runic dock]

Oda peaked at WCI , like he never had before

[split pelican]

yea

[lilac anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-ishowspeed-reaction-reactions-meme-gif-8141100727479891642

[graceful grove]

Luffy ask shanks who took the shot that destroyed Bartos ship. When he gives the answer, he can tell usopp yo deal with his dad.

[pulsar timber]

Wano
Dressrosa
FMI
Egghead
Wci
Zou
Punk hazard

[split pelican]

yea the dark theme , and specially the end game

[hot cairn]

I think OP doesnt have bad arcs it has 1 mid arc (Syrup Village) the others rank from good -> peak honestly.

[haughty saddle]

I don’t think it will be hostile from Luffy initially. I do think Luffy will stand on business though. There may be an initial hesitation, but I don’t really think Oda will have Luffy try to skirt around a topic of respect for his friends like that just because it’s Shanks. He isn’t that naive anymore. He shouldn’t be.

[split pelican]

whole arc had tension

[hot cairn]

yep exactly

[plucky plover]

All we can do now is pray they come to their senses.

[lilac anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/mike-brown-huh-look-up-basketball-coach-gif-15664327

[runic dock]

Having a villain that is not even the main villain because they’re way too strong , and then having that way too strong villain turn into a force of nature that all you can do is avoid , was FUCKING PEAK, SHE ATE THROUGH THE EARTH LIKE A SHARK THROUGH WATER

[lilac anchor]

Bold of you to assume they have that

[hot cairn]

yeah I don’t think the Barto thing wouldve happened if Oda wasnt going to build up on that for their eventual encounter

[random hinge]

literally none of this was my idea why are you blaming me

[plucky plover]

You enabled them.

[ripe estuary]

You proposed it

[runic dock]

Good point

[random hinge]

people keep asking for it

i didn't propose shit

[hot cairn]

I’m surprised you have WCI so low, I thought you loved that arc because you love BM

[plucky plover]

Yes, but you could have stopped it.

[lilac anchor]

I know a certain president who speaks like this

[modest eagle]

I personally disagree, but that's just my subjective opinion.

But yeah Dressrosa is an incredible arc. Doflamingo is easily the best villain we had so far.

[random hinge]

if i had stopped it then i would be going against what the people want

[split pelican]

absolute peak

[dense haven]

5 minute slow mode please

[grand flower]

That’s what I see happening

[grand flower]

Me too

[hot cairn]

yeah that’s fair.

I miss Doffy ngl, I wonder if he’ll escape from Impel Down soon

[random hinge]

you can experience that for yourself in #manga rn

[grand flower]

Slow mode in my also manga??

[runic dock]

FMI is extremely overhated but it doesn’t deserve to be that high

[pulsar timber]

I don’t very much care for the vast majority of the Charlotte family and Luffy vs katakuri while cool is probably not even top 3 or 4 Luffy fights for me. Sanji stuff was really good though. Not a bad arc just not close to my favorite

[pulsar timber]

Yes it does

FMI is an amazing arc

[grand flower]

I support it if it’s Snod

[grave crypt]

I loved fishman

[pulsar timber]

Only reason it gets hate is because hody lacks aura

[runic dock]

It has great themes and a solid flashback segment , villain isn’t amazing and lowkey forgettable , some other stuff

[grave crypt]

I think they're also an idiot but it is quite funny

[prisma yacht]

Hody is alright not bad

[modest eagle]

I think it's inevitable personally.

He'll escape, make some philosophical monologues like Marineford, and then just... sit in the sidelines.

[grand flower]

One of Oda’s best thematic arcs

[grand flower]

What’s going on?

[lilac anchor]

Happy 39 rokaya
