[vernal ravine]

not impossible

[iron oriole]

Imu quite literally distributes power

[hasty sable]

Omen is about granting power to his followers to achieve his goals. They’re all conditional abilities.

He goes on about this in the same chapter he explains it

[hardy stratus]

Ye

[vernal ravine]

omen avalo pizarro turns into the whole red line

[tranquil blade]

Well all of the abilities basically leave the people with the granted powers indebted to Imu and under his control as a consequence

[iron oriole]

Omen, Contracts, DR... its all distribution of power & personally don't think BB would ever want to give that out to anyone

[hasty sable]

It’s just like Blackbeard finding fruits to give to his followers so that they become more powerful pawns for him to pursue his goals. That is a deliberate parallel imo.

[odd rune]

it is so refreshing to see a monkey D. that isnt so oakheaded and is anxious and actually second guesses themself

It still annoys me that its a tranquiliser gun though

[vernal ravine]

he says devil fruits have more advantanges than disadvantages he knows what he is doing

[odd rune]

let dragon just kill the CD oda you hack

[royal orchid]

he should have put that cd down

#FakeDemons

[hasty sable]

He didn’t want Dragon killing civvies

[odd rune]

i felt kinda similar like when usopp disintegrates half of gunko and then usopp is like apologising

as much as people want to justify oda fakeout deaths or things like that i think sometimes he tries way too hard to make his good guys not do bad things

[hasty sable]

Law saying he’s not a murderer is funny

[odd rune]

a scene where dragon just... doesnt kill civillians with his gun that shoots actual bullets would have worked just as well as him shooting them with tranquilisers

[royal orchid]

robin and zoro never really killing people in the series

[odd rune]

or better yet just have dragon shoot civillians

[hardy stratus]

Better

[hasty sable]

Robin was at least implied to be a killer

[urban lodge]

Zoro at least killed the guy at the start of Wano

[hasty sable]

Crocodile asking Robin about that witness he had her kill

[scenic dirge]

“Zoro”

“Slaughter them all”

“Yes captain”

“BANKAI”

[royal orchid]

[rose rune]

I remember when zoro looked at him and thought: "yeah... I wanna fuck this guy up"

[scenic dirge]

Shut up

[hardy stratus]

Robin has killed plenty. Zoro is pro enough to just manage to get them to sleep without killing fr

[hasty sable]

Pica fight is the best Zoro slop

[odd rune]

I dont think anyone is asking for edgypiece except for my cringe friend

but oda leans too far sometimes and it irks me

[royal orchid]

oda finally found a way to use mountain scaling in a fight

hilarious really

[hasty sable]

Just chapter after chapter of Zoro bullying this guy

[sleek saddle]

not kill

[hardy stratus]

Idk idrc about character death and the like atp

[sleek saddle]

she just cripples people for the fun of it

[hardy stratus]

in anything

[rose rune]

the raid will fail macks. and a lot will be killed

[sleek saddle]

i just realized this is also manga i have to return to maanga

[royal orchid]

say what you will about OPLA but live action robin straight up makes marines kill themselves via gunshot

[rose rune]

the moment Luffy wakes up from the absinthe, Kaido will destroy wano

[scenic dirge]

Zoro killed Mr 7 and Wano guy we know that much. If Oda actually had blades be lethal in one piece then he would have killed a bazillion more

[hardy stratus]

Death as it is is already an overused and overrated narrative and emotional response device anyway

[hasty sable]

I like to think he kills a lot of the average mooks

[scenic dirge]

How about I kill you how about that? Wouldn’t be calling it overused then would you?

[hasty sable]

And Marines because it’s funny

[odd rune]

oda just likes to do that stuff offscreen i think

[hardy stratus]

Narrative device

not irl device

[scenic dirge]

Lmao

[hasty sable]

More marines should die

[odd rune]

like jinbei being oh yeah this bege guy he's a maniac dude... bonechilling psychopath

which like yeah thats a sick intro and i didnt need to see bege kill people but

[royal orchid]

this is a TV-14 series, folks!

[scenic dirge]

Velo or whatever his name is is a psycho at least

[odd rune]

Vito

[scenic dirge]

Bro just gunned down Bobbin

Vito

Ye

[rose rune]

just because he has yaoi hands?

[hasty sable]

Bege killing gang leaders for the love of the game

No benefit whatsoever

[urban lodge]

It will always be funny to me that Toei is comfortable with showing characters getting dismembered but they can't show a middle finger

[scenic dirge]

Idek what this means

[odd rune]

his hands are big

[rose rune]

it means his hands are big

[royal orchid]

what is this new generation slang

[rose rune]

this is old

[royal orchid]

I'm 50 years old so I don't get it

[vernal ravine]

kinda true but that's not the worst thing oda does like you can rarely kill a character but don't make like 10 fake out deaths every arc cause the stakes go nuts

like no one believes it

[odd rune]

anyway yeah idk, like why can we see celestial dragons like whipping and shooting slaves with zero remorse but dragon cant shoot a civilian for a character growth moment, it has to be a tranquiliser

[hardy stratus]

Stakes are overrated

[royal orchid]

what I said here a while ago of the second oda could kill people without them dying, suddenly they're all made of wax

[rose rune]

funny thing about wano was that you barely noticed that named people had died until it was casually dropped after everything had concluded

like izo

[odd rune]

yeah i think ashura's death could have been done better

[royal orchid]

asura doji death was so random

[hardy stratus]

? Ashura and Izo dying was obviously known

[rose rune]

I said you barely notice it

[odd rune]

it became obvious in hindsight that ashura died once he just never showed up again

[hardy stratus]

Not really

[royal orchid]

not really noticed or not really barely noticed

[urban lodge]

It's a little strange with how inconsistent characters surviving explosions is

[hasty sable]

Tbh there were so many fakeouts it was kind of hard to tell when someone died for real

[odd rune]

idk its just the lack of catharsis if that makes sense

[hardy stratus]

Easily noticed

[rose rune]

you kinda expect them to just be ok after some chopper bandages

because of how oda writes

[scenic dirge]

There is literally no way you said Izo’s was obvious 😭 😭 😭

[ruby cape]

Ashura dying I wasn’t that surprised to be honest other than how quick and easy it was after hyping up his strength in the narrative but Izo was random as hell

[scenic dirge]

Because I was genuinely confused

To find out he died

[hardy stratus]

Says more about you Evan

[scenic dirge]

Nope

[odd rune]

i guess its also cool that the akazaya didnt dwell on it and immediately took charge after ashura's sacrifice

[gritty vigil]

Bro who is ashura, I forgot

[urban lodge]

In a different series I would have assumed Izo died

[vernal ravine]

like how many people were expecting Pedro to return that's Oda's fault fr

[rose rune]

fat samurai dude

[ruby cape]

Fuck is with WB pirates and dying bro

[vernal ravine]

too many fake outs

[royal orchid]

me after an arc where the straw hats fight a dictator and after one or two side character deaths the straw hats are chilling on the sunny with Luffy sleeping while full of bandages around him

[royal orchid]

fat pink hair samurai, luffy fought him in sumo for 100 episodes

[odd rune]

that was not ashura LMFAO

[gritty vigil]

ohhhhh yeah I remember him

[urban lodge]

Different fat guy

[hardy stratus]

Ashura Doji was leader of Mount Atama thieves

[bold sonnet]

[hardy stratus]

A group of ronins

[ruby cape]

Shutenmaru bro

[scenic dirge]

Different pink haired fat guy

[gritty vigil]

😭

[bold sonnet]

[hardy stratus]

Y'all just don't read man...

[odd rune]

ashura's little samurai backstory with the sunacchi guys was pretty sad

some of his lines were so cool

[scenic dirge]

I think Meeks was joking lol

[gritty vigil]

I'm confused

[odd rune]

the chapter where ashura is showing them all the graves

fuck i gotta find that one sec

[royal orchid]

I was but I didn't remember urashima's name

[ruby cape]

Ashura waited 20 years to die out like that they shoulda killed another Akazaya instead

[odd rune]

one line i cant remember but its so good

[ruby cape]

Take Kin’emon out

[scenic dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/oden-sigma-male-one-piece-funny-ashura-doji-gif-25178089

[ruby cape]

As goated as he is

[scenic dirge]

This is Ashura

[hardy stratus]

I do find Oda had an issue of managing cast in Wano but meh. He did it better than anyone I would expect in weekly serialization

[gritty vigil]

Yes I think I remember him

[hardy stratus]

Don't abuse your perms

[scenic dirge]

I will if it’s for the sake of helping my precious members

[rose rune]

I reread 1041, and I still don't think it's obvious that Izo died

[royal orchid]

where's the one of oden standing over his body like a sofa

[scenic dirge]

It wasn’t

[odd rune]

so fucking based

[rose rune]

goro is just making shit up to seem smart

[hardy stratus]

Not really

I ragebait a lot but don't make up shit

[odd rune]

oh god i really did forget that embeds are disabled

[sturdy steeple]

0 folks thought he died back then lol

[odd rune]

i gotta not do that

im sorry

[urban lodge]

Characters have definitely had similar "set up" and lived anyway

Kin and Kiku most notably

[royal orchid]

if they were really disabled would mods still have them

[gritty vigil]

I think I need to reread one piece.... I'm forgetting stuff

[hardy stratus]

Mods abuse pls demot

[rose rune]

usually oda makes it even more grandiose of a sacrifice, and they still survive

[hardy stratus]

You apologized so you are forgiven

[urban lodge]

Yeah

[royal orchid]

equal right for all

[hardy stratus]

The salient and optic guy isnt

[gritty vigil]

Rules and laws for everyone

[urban lodge]

The only other time that I can think of before that that it actually stuck was Pedro

[hardy stratus]

Evan has made it personal now

[vernal ravine]

talking about fake-out deaths, after a few months what do y'all think about domi reversi

[hardy stratus]

It was great then

It's great now

[sturdy steeple]

When Oda revealed that Izo and Ashura died most were confused.

[odd rune]

i just think that invincibility is kind of a lame trick for antagonists to have

but imu's powers being part of the reason kinda makes up for that

[hardy stratus]

💀

[rose rune]

I don't really have strong feelings about domi reversi

it's there

[hardy stratus]

It's a really interesting mechanism which I am even more keen to learn about

why Chopper could reverse that

What other aspects are there to it

[royal orchid]

anyone else not exactly a fan of god knights having the same consistency as the green nickelodeon slime because they can just be cut into a fine paste without dying

[urban lodge]

It exists to justify Oda's Rocks retcon and explain why Roger and Garp fought him to death

[royal orchid]

it's point one of why I like warcury

[hardy stratus]

💀

Gimme choptir already.

When will these 2 hours pass

[tranquil blade]

Not the biggest fan of the way to beat it but it’s okay otherwise I guess

[royal orchid]

now I finally feel how anime onlys feel waiting for sunday episodes

!animo

[tropic nova]

Next episode comes out on <t:1779638400:F> <t:1779638400:R> (time zone adjusted)

[hardy stratus]

It being ACoC?

There would be other ways too trust

[ruby cape]

tbh it’s cool, I kinda expected Luffy to be immune to it

Loki on the other hand didn’t expect but with the Warrior God not surprised

[tranquil blade]

Well acoc isnt the weakness to domi reversi

[hardy stratus]

There would be aspect of Will, aspect of DFs, and a lot stuff at play here

[hardy stratus]

It is?

That's what Garp and Roger did

[prisma yacht]

It's not

[ruby cape]

chopper being able to slap people out of it is the part of it I really like

[urban lodge]

It's not Goro

[prisma yacht]

That's only bcs xebec was using it too

[tranquil blade]

No they killed him which reverted the form

[ruby cape]

it only resists a little, Rocks managed to resist but in the end of it he was DRed

[urban lodge]

In that case it was because Rocks was using CoC as armor

[hardy stratus]

Wait you mean the part of how giants reversed it?

The Go sorta rule part?

[ruby cape]

ACoC is only really helpful in delaying it

[tranquil blade]

Yes

[urban lodge]

You just have to do a mortal blow, which is very funny

"Undying bodies"

[prisma yacht]

Oda wanted gore

[tranquil blade]

but Roger and Garp needed to use all that haki because Rocks was continuously guarding with haki himself

[royal orchid]

Loki hit Harald's heart

I wonder if that's actually the secret

[urban lodge]

I will not be gaslighted, they do not all have steel hearts

[tranquil blade]

It probably is

[hardy stratus]

There's more to it

[urban lodge]

And if they do Oda just recently made that up

[ruby cape]

Gunko will come out with a steel heart

[tranquil blade]

Why wouldn’t they tho

[hardy stratus]

Smh these weekly readers...

[ruby cape]

Idk why it wouldn’t be consistent throughout them

[prisma yacht]

Harald wasn't dr'd

[hardy stratus]

Not being able to handle getting new information slowly..

[urban lodge]

We've seen the gorosei and Gunko get disintegrated and no sign of any steel hearts

[royal orchid]

oh I thought it was about god knights

[rose rune]

Maybe she has a steel colon instead

[prisma yacht]

higher ranking hks must not be having a heart at all

[royal orchid]

yeah no it's funny that you just have to kill DR'd people to send them back at full health

[tranquil blade]

This is because Oda is a hack

[royal orchid]

or in chopper's case, slap them

[prisma yacht]

[hasty sable]

The heart moves

[dark nymph]

doooont care, wheres choptir

[hasty sable]

And bingo

[hardy stratus]

2 Hours

[urban lodge]

I love getting new information slowly, I just don't want it to contradict past things

[royal orchid]

it's such a davy jones pirates of the caribbean reference

[hardy stratus]

It prolly doesn't

[dark nymph]

bet

[tranquil blade]

and yes I believe that Oda came up with these weaknesses pretty recently

[hardy stratus]

Someone in reddit or here would write an essay of why it doesn't soon anyway so I don't really care

[hasty sable]

everything with Imu’s powers feels like Oda inventing a third power system on the fly

[prisma yacht]

Well they must be wrong

[hasty sable]

But it’s whatever

[tranquil blade]

That’s why I don’t like the set up

[hardy stratus]

it would be actually good if its third power system

[hasty sable]

I don’t really care as long as the stretchy man punches him

[hardy stratus]

ngl

[tranquil blade]

gin mention

[hardy stratus]

It would be on point for a government which censors everything to not let information of their powers go outside

[royal orchid]

maki 🚨 ping arsal immediately

[hasty sable]

Summon him

[royal orchid]

don't

[hardy stratus]

Just send a feet pic

He would come

[prisma yacht]

🦶

[hardy stratus]

Oops pun not intended

[prisma yacht]

this is like a rat bait?

[hasty sable]

Say that Mr. Morj released a new theory and he would come

[royal orchid]

!meek

[iron oriole]

I kinda feel bad for Morj, his legacy is forever "the guy who thought Onigashima raid will fail"

[honest garden]

He deserves far worse

[iron oriole]

I wouldn't wish a double/triple down on a theory going wrong on my worst enemy

[royal orchid]

didn't he triple down on it post raid

[iron oriole]

idr, Wano is honestly a blur

there was so many shit theories around that time

from the raid failing to the like 40 page google doc on ZKK etc

[hardy stratus]

not really?

his legacy is the tanuki teapot theory guy

[iron oriole]

nobody remembers him for that

[hardy stratus]

idk the ZKK 40 page doc is cool

raid failing theory is cool

tanuki teapot theory is cool

the fact that these are wild makes it cool

way better than current agenda posting

cuz with the former, you would actually have to engage with the story for having all the evidences and what not for theory

[pseudo gulch]

He deserves a way worse legacy

Never forget the Ryokugyu is Zoro's dad video

[maiden saffron]

seems important

trying to catch little bits and pieces on my current reread

[hardy stratus]

that's WG propaganda

[maiden saffron]

I think it's a truth that's slowly turned into a legend because it was passed down through generations even if it wasn't recorded in history

[hardy stratus]

i mean obv it is but like it's fun to realize how much of the "myths" that characters know and regurgitate are WG propaganda in hindsight

[maiden saffron]

like the existence of poneglyphs, the will of D

[hardy stratus]

I would rather it be this demon

[maiden saffron]

things that a lot of people KNOW about, but not the whole picture

[dapper tree]

He only wanted 4 more years of wano

[hardy stratus]

such level of recontextualization after further information

[tranquil blade]

Do we think Davy Jones was evil or misunderstood

[maiden saffron]

they only know about it because it's been passed down generation after generation

[hardy stratus]

Oda is a hack if he didn't have WG polluting the lore and myth and history to suit Imu's narrative

[maiden saffron]

a lot of what characters say is WG propaganda but I don't think it applies to ancient legends like these

[urban lodge]

Oh Oda will definitely make him a wholesome chungus good boy

[hasty sable]

Rocks is the coolest example of this because it was meta

[royal orchid]

I do think the idea that the Davy Jones is still alive is fun

[maiden saffron]

Davy jones is clearly a prolific character, everyone knows about the davy back fight, Pirate island relevance etc

[scenic dirge]

Do you consider Xebec to be good?

[wraith mantle]

Hope carrot will not be in top 5 this week

[tranquil blade]

You dont sound very happy to say that

[maiden saffron]

I think his story has just been passed down unlike Rocks

[thick maple]

I think he might've been a bit evil

[tranquil blade]

He's nuanced

[maiden saffron]

where most of what we knew about him was WG propaganda

[hasty sable]

I think Davy Jones will be worse than Xebec

[tranquil blade]

but I wouldnt use the word good

[maiden saffron]

I think Davy jones will be an enemy to both Joyboy and the wg

[tranquil blade]

I wouldnt say pure evil either

[wraith mantle]

Rocks is just human

[maiden saffron]

davy jones is gonna be the blackbeard of that era

[hasty sable]

Xebec is messy I’d say but far more good than bad

[maiden saffron]

shrimple

[hardy stratus]

meh

[hasty sable]

Davy was king of the ancient kingdom

[hardy stratus]

such overt direct parallels would suck demon

[hasty sable]

Joyboy was just a pirate who didn’t care about that stuff

[maiden saffron]

we're beyond that

[hardy stratus]

not really

[maiden saffron]

I think we are Lmfao

[hardy stratus]

Xebec, Roger dynamic isn't really like bb, luffy

[hasty sable]

Everyone wanted to make Joyboy king but he just wanted to be free

[hardy stratus]

the characterization is also much different. same in surface but yea

[thick maple]

Mm what if joyboy was evil too

[hasty sable]

Wait until Luffy says that he likes Blackbeard

[maiden saffron]

yeah im not saying it'll be the exact same, its not gonna be a direct parallel

but Davy jones fulfills a similar role

[hardy stratus]

I mean, he wouldn't

already the foundation of their relationship is much different than Rocks and Roger

[tranquil blade]

Yeah the Roger Rocks dynamic is almost nothing alike to the Blackbeard Luffy dynamic

[maiden saffron]

like Xebec did, the main difference between Xebec and Roger's era is that the WG didn't seem to be as involved. I think it's even possible that they knew Roger wasn't capable of doing anything.

[hasty sable]

Luffy fighting Teach and finally realizing what it is that he hates about Blackbeard is that he likes him

[maiden saffron]

nah Luffy is not about to like the guy who killed ace

and will probably kill shanks

and killed whitebeard

He might respect him on some level

but that's about it

[hasty sable]

That’s why he hates it

Because he can’t hate Blackbeard all the way

Unlike other baddies

[maiden saffron]

that doesn't matter

[royal orchid]

oh wow fats is back

[tranquil blade]

Xebec and Roger werent the biggest fans of each other but Roger never held the same grudge like Luffy does, and Xebec was forced to fight Roger at the end whereas BB would willingly kill Luffy at any time

[ruby cape]

He’d maximum respect him for his strength as an opponent there’s no other qualities or reasons Luffy would have to like BB 😭

[hasty sable]

WHY DOESNT IT MATTER

insert American Psycho gif

Sorry that wasn’t supposed to be all caps

I am not actually yelling

[balmy field]

i ws'd the gif

[hasty sable]

Dreams

[urban lodge]

He liked the cherry pie, Luffy would never like him

[maiden saffron]

Luffy respecting the fact that he has a dream that he's fighting for won't actually prevent him from punching him full force and breaking his nose, is what i mean.

[hasty sable]

When Luffy meets Blackbeard in Impel Down what he remembers is how Blackbeard told him that dreams never end. That’s part of what makes him angry. That the guy who said that ended up being the guy Ace was after.

Yeah, they’re gonna fight ofc

And Luffy is going to crush his dream

[maiden saffron]

Luffy hates blackbeard for who he is and what he did to him even if there's a part of bb that's similar to luffy

and he might even see himself there

[hasty sable]

But it would be interesting if despite everything Teach did he’s someone Luffy likes in a way

And that contradiction annoys him

[maiden saffron]

I feel like luffy isnt the type to worry much about that

[hardy stratus]

Again even if he does, which I can see in some certain degree but it's not like Fuji where he would honestly speak on that and he won't even realize it

[hasty sable]

I think he might honestly

He’s said other things I’d never expect him to say

[hardy stratus]

I think you are coming from the Fuji moment?

like basing on that?

[hasty sable]

Like his speech to Doffy at the end of Dressrosa

[maiden saffron]

luffy isnt the kind to ponder why he likes or dislikes someone or get annoyed about the fact that he can't hate someone even if he wants to

[hasty sable]

I think that’s one of the things he actually would ponder if it caused him to feel cofnicired

People underestimate Luffy I feel

[maiden saffron]

Im not underestimating him

I just dont see luffy being conflicted about competely ending BB in any circumstance

[hasty sable]

That’s not it

He wouldn’t feel conflicted about fighting him

[hardy stratus]

yeah

like I am sure there's some level of "fruit influence" that's bothering Luffy

which he's kinda avoiding rn

[hasty sable]

Luffy saying something like, “I finally realized what makes me mad about you. It’s that I like you.” Or something in the midst of their fight. It doesn’t stop him from smashing Blackbeard’s face or opposing his dream.

[hardy stratus]

yeah no it won't be such dialogue buddy

[maiden saffron]

Why would he ever say anything like that lol

AT BEST he might remark that they are similar but even that is a stretch

[hardy stratus]

but I get what you are coming from. I can see some semblance of that conflict being there in luffy but it probably won't come off as a dialogue

[maiden saffron]

i think oda wants to keep that stuff strictly between the readers

[hardy stratus]

but it would probably come from a long serious stare

[hasty sable]

Idk I could see him talking about it

[maiden saffron]

I think he's just confused about the joyboy situation

[hasty sable]

It doesn’t have to be a long speech just a remark

[maiden saffron]

and he might wonder why everyone calls him that

[hasty sable]

And Luffy has even given long speeches before. I would never expect Luffy from an earlier arc to go off about Doffy keeping everyone in a cage f.e.

[maiden saffron]

why not

[hasty sable]

Luffy is more mature than people realize

[maiden saffron]

Luffy was doing that stuff in arlong park

and skypiea... alabasta... He gives a lot of speeches to a lot of characters

[hardy stratus]

yes

[hasty sable]

I think for Luffy the conflict with Teach could be that by his actions and what he believes in, Luffy should hate Blackbeard. But he can’t separate him from the man who spoke about dreams and who reminded him of Shanks. Blackbeard viscerally aggravates him because they’re fundamentally similar in their ideals but in ways that are diametrically opposed. That is an interesting dynamic to explore between them.

[hardy stratus]

I think like demon said, it would be a point made to the readers

[hasty sable]

Going all the way back to the bar scene where they react the exact opposite to the pie and the drink lol

[hardy stratus]

but not something spoken through by luffy

[hasty sable]

And again I could see Luffy vocalizing that but it’s whatever. Oda might not even go this route lol

[ruby cape]

It’s just something I don’t see whichever route you may so happen to take tbh

[hasty sable]

That’s also why Luffy reacted neutrally to what Teach said at Mock Town instead of positively. Even when Teach is being kind and supportive Luffy feels conflicted about him in a way he can’t explain. That’s probably his intuition that Teach despite his words is not a good person. But then his reaction in Impel Down also displays conflict that Teach really is that bad.

[balmy field]

yes but he js larps for oda gags

like during arlong park

arabasta
he and vivi

[maiden saffron]

and yes luffy is definitely underestimated in these regards, but I still don't see how this would compel him to say that he likes BB. We already know how similar BB and Luffy are in some aspects, simply because BB has a dream he believes in regardless of what others think doesn't actually make him THAT unique.

Crocodile had a dream, Enel had a dream, Moria had a dream, Kaido and Big Mom had dreams. Luffy has had no issue crushing everyone's dreams up to this point, I don't think he's suddenly about to have an internal conflict because BB told him that dreams will never die.

The only way something like this could happen is if Blackbeard was somehow a very unique case in the story and other characters weren't working for or living their dreams.

I think the "dreams will never die" scene is brilliant not only because it's a great way to introduce BB but also highlighting the difference between Pirates like BB, Luffy, Roger etc and people like Bellamy.

it shows the difference between people who can change the world and those who can't

I do believe Luffy will come to have some respect for Blackbeard eventually, I just don't see this turning into an internal conflict or whatever

[upper rose]

i think his reaction was because their interpretations of dreams are fundamentally different, luffy mentioned an end to his dream and something he wants at its end whereas teach's interpretation is that dreams never end, that his greed and desires will never be satisfied

[hasty sable]

The internal conflict isn’t about crushing Blackbeard’s dream. He’d have no issue with that. I think if there’s a conflict it would just be more about how he feels about Teach.

[hasty sable]

Well, what Teach is saying isn’t that his dream is literally never ending. But that people will never stop dreaming.

[maiden saffron]

I think he just said that people will always dream

[hasty sable]

Which ties into themes like inherited will and whatnot

[maiden saffron]

i dont think it has anything to do with greed

even if bb is a greedy bastard

It's clearly a response to the mocktown public talking about dreams

[upper rose]

even if that's what teach meant then at the time i feel like the specific wording of the line itself was a hint at how different they are

[maiden saffron]

I see it differently

i think the pie scene showcases that they're opposites

and the dreams scene shows that they're also very similar

[hasty sable]

There is def a contrast with how Teach wants to hoard power like a Celestial Dragon and Luffy wants to make a world where people can eat as much as they want. But in that scene it’s highlighting how they’re similar.

[maiden saffron]

both at the same time

[hasty sable]

Even the pie scene is interesting because their behavior is the exact same, but in opposite incompatible ways

[hardy stratus]

that scene is how you introduce an antagonist

[pulsar path]

I love cherry pie! I hate cherry pie!

[upper rose]

yh i think both highlight how opposed they are, the dream scene showing only that they both care about dreams and the pie scene showing only that their behaviors are the same

like convergent evolution instead of divergent evolution if that makes sense

[hasty sable]

Also like that Blackbeard doesn’t kill Luffy for the fight.

Straw hats dodged an unfathomable bullet there

[upper rose]

instead of them splitting off from the same archetype they're two entirely different people who showcase similar behaviors

[maiden saffron]

It's also really cool when you learn that BB wasn't saying that luffy bluffed about his bounty

he couldn't believe it was that low

[hardy stratus]

did BB feel CoC oozing out of him?

that Luffy didn't know how to use

that would be an awesome recontexualization ngl...

[tranquil blade]

BB apparently could sense his haki somehow even though Luffy couldnt use it yet

He says something about it

During uhh Impel Down I think

[maiden saffron]

bb straight up mentions his haki in jaya

so yeah

he knew Luffy was a big shot

straight off the bat

[hardy stratus]

oh yea

[pulsar path]

Or

Was he sensing Nika 😂

That fruit definitely has haki

[hardy stratus]

nah meh meh meh

[maiden saffron]

nah i think he was sensing his haki, i dont think he would've known about luffy's power at all

he didnt know who luffy was

he wouldnt know about his rubber body

[pulsar path]

Devil fruits have wills

Bb had the Yami

Those fruits were resonating trust

[maiden saffron]

I think its simple, he was somehow able to know that Luffy wasn't a small fry

and it's most likely related to haki

[hot cairn]

Yeah

that’s what it was

[pulsar path]

Than that's ass f haki

To me that's boring AF

[tranquil blade]

It is weird because in what way was he sensing his haki? Like his potential with haki? because he couldnt use it all yet so his haki shouldnt be super powerful or anything...

[upper rose]

just his strength of will probably

[pulsar path]

I always felt it was the will of d, destiny , resonating of feeling , there devil fruits talking since most likely there was a will involved

Yeah I guess I forget haki does just mean will power

But I don't think he was sensing coc ,coo or coa. Did he say anything about ace who had already unlocked coc at the time ?

I actually wish he kept the missing tooth from WCI because it’s a visual parallel to Blackbeard

[rose rune]

I wish everyone kept their missing teeth

[hot cairn]

the Blackbeard arc will be peak

I had a dream about it once

[balmy field]

why?

and who tf are you?

[hot cairn]

who are YOU

[hasty sable]

Oda will cook so hard with Blackbeard and Shanks

[balmy field]

chad

[rose rune]

oh, rulebreaker twin is basically another name for shanks

[hardy stratus]

best dialogue in some other series that you won't agree with

I knew that's where Archer's head was at

[hot cairn]

so true, I can’t wait

[maiden saffron]

if we are to take this literally, does this mean davy jones is a fishman devil fruit user who fell to the bottom of the ocean

[hasty sable]

He’s Hinokizu

[maiden saffron]

surely davy jones would be dead by now

id much rather hinokizu be a new character

[hardy stratus]

that'd be better yes

[hot cairn]

me too

[hasty sable]

I am mostly joking I have no theories about burn scar that people don’t bully me for

[maiden saffron]

aokiji is the burn scar man !

Well davy jones wld be a new one technically

[maiden saffron]

he has a burn scar

on his leg !!

You call it lazy, I call it strategically allocating effort

I’ll put aside my beef with gunko for it

Just fyi I pretty much called the brook and Gunko relationship

[blazing mantle]

Didn’t everyone?

[pulsar path]

Seen it loved it can't wait to see it animated

[urban lodge]

You have no beef with her, your beef is with Imu

[pulsar path]

No people were like she's a CD

Lol its kinda uncanny seeing this version of Brook. But I like it

are you prepared for the gunko flashback

Jimbei: "I hate to rush you Brook but-"
Brook: "Four score and seven years ago..."

Imu used GRAM?

but we cant even get him some armament haki

😭

Well thats just fucking ominous

[blazing mantle]

He doesn’t need it

[latent hamlet]

[blazing mantle]

🥱

[urban lodge]

Brook got weaker after he died is canon

[dense rapids]

Two zou on cover after zunesha rain god theories 👀

[blazing mantle]

He lost his willpower and in turn, his ability to use haki

[rose rune]

he has no muscles after all

[dense rapids]

Yea I think he can’t produce haki

[latent hamlet]

I guess Imu is serious now if he's using Gram as the attack name

[royal orchid]

man so weird how English version of mangaplus doesn't have double pages and is ass quality

[teal shuttle]

Depends of how good he is at his job.🤣

[dense rapids]

Which means he’s operating off just physical ability

[tranquil blade]

Istg if this is the case

[blazing mantle]

Muscle mass doesn’t make you stronger in one piece trust

i like how candelles hair looks like melted wax

[blazing mantle]

Look at gunkos noodle arms

[tranquil blade]

Brook is faster without flesh so it balances out

[stone terrace]

hes faster and can freeze his opponents

[wet condor]

I hope this flashback doesn't last more than 2 more chapters

[blazing mantle]

Are we doing this again

[distant vine]

Im glad Oda still remembers he can do this

[wet condor]

But it's probably gonna be at least 5

the king is ugly so he must be bad

[wet condor]

I'm more or less fine so long as it's actually the stuff I care about lol

[distant vine]

Oda saw yall were saying the backstory is unnecessary and decided to put it in the middle of the fight. Thats why he's the greatest to do it

[trim lily]

my bingo requires elbaf to end in 2 chapters

[tawny kraken]

where'd you get that number?

Yeah it does feel like a pivot

[blazing mantle]

This is like the 3rd flashback this arc wdym

[olive sun]

I guess there was nowhere else to shoehorn it in

[wet condor]

Reuven or Leuven, whatever his name is, probably wound up selling out Candelle

[royal orchid]

intermission from Loki vs Imu to look at brook and gunko for a sec

[blazing depot]

The flashback will end in failure

[olive sun]

Rueven doesn't feel evil to me he seems homely

[wet condor]

He was enticed by the CDs offer or something

I don't think he's evil really. Probably just greedy

Dudes doing his own lawn and dressed like a redneck

[wet condor]

Or maybe he actually does fight to protect Candelle

brook wasn't that good in thriller bark

[olive sun]

Brook was a skeleton living on a ship for 50 years

Why are we already hating on Rueven

Come on guys

[olive sun]

His skills likely deteriorated

[latent hamlet]

[blazing mantle]

He was like the 6th strongest person on the island

[tawny kraken]

reminds me of this panel

[olive sun]

This has to be the god of war

[wet condor]

He doesn't seem like a courageous person or someone of exceptional character off the rip lol

[tawny kraken]

oda at it again

[blazing mantle]

So we’re judging books based on their cover

[trim lily]

kinda funny everyone hates brook’s singing

[blazing mantle]

😢

[urban lodge]

I think whatever happens is probably tied to Shuri's promising strength, because that's basically what she's defined by as a holy knight. Her identity was erased and she became a "military child", that's what Gunko means. Even the other Manmayer in God Valley seems to only see her as a tool because of her strength. That's why I think her mother already had some sort of connection to the holy land and that's how Imu found out about Shuri. Plus, there are quite a few parallels between her and Loki, like both having killed their fathers and wearing facial bandages, I think this is possibly another one, Candelle is her Estrid.

[maiden saffron]

more uta propaganda this chapter ... "oh did you guys know uta was originally from this island" yeah yeah man whatever

[hasty sable]

My image perms are back

[barren token]

Hi everyone what did we think of chapter

[maiden saffron]

Unexpected

[thick maple]

1194 is the chapter where post ts will reach the chapter count of pre ts, thus elbaf should end before it or in 1194

[lofty fern]

I I love candelle, far more French

[wet condor]

[ivory solstice]

King Reuven seems chill af

[olive sun]

Seeing Brooks eyes is surreal

[barren token]

I liked it i thought it was good I dont know id this is the time for brook lore but im here for it

[tawny kraken]

that's some real 5d thinking right there

[blazing mantle]

You were kinda onto something until the end

[pine ridge]

I got wholesome vibes from him

[thick maple]

mm so much so i bet 6 months mute on it

[blazing mantle]

I may have switched up on gunko dying but I promise you that candelle will not be evil

[stone terrace]

candelle has that shit on

[urban lodge]

I will be right just like how I was right about everything else about her character, trust

[ionic palm]

Im really curious if Brook was capable of using Haki back then but lost the ability to use it because of the Shuri incident severely crippling his willpower and mental, because he seemed significantly stronger as a fighter during this time. His iconic attack had a far longer delay for example

[ivory solstice]

i loved how he kicked Brook

[distant vine]

W chapter

[ivory solstice]

(plus how he pulled a death sentenc

[distant vine]

This flashback is good for the story and I dont mind having it rn

[stone terrace]

yea idk this seems crazy

[proper egret]

Ohhhhhhhh I love brooks lore yes

[blazing mantle]

😒

[hasty sable]

Everyone in this flashback will die haha…

[stone terrace]

but then again the blues are supposed to be fodder i guess

[barren token]

Do we think brook could always delay his slash that long if he wanted to or he got weaker after being skeleton'd

[urban lodge]

You know it's true

[proper egret]

The queen is by far the finest

[maiden saffron]

kinda looks like yasuie here

[blazing mantle]

What other things have you predicted

[ionic palm]

is it tho

[ivory solstice]

it would be cooler if this music kingdom was the one from film RED

[distant vine]

No I think Oda just wanted to make him look really cool

[trim lily]

one step closer to uta in elbaf

[stone terrace]

This is like a classic swordsman aura farm move

[maiden saffron]

he's washed

[barren token]

Do you think how strong someone is is tied to how long he can hold it lol

Why would that be the case

[wet condor]

Uta incomign

Idk how but she is

[trim lily]

i’m never wrong

[maiden saffron]

yeah uta is definitely related

[wet condor]

Yeah basically

[pine ridge]

Brook might be the worlds most skilled swordsman

[proper egret]

I did think brook wasn’t a weakling…he seemed but stronger in his prime ofc

[maiden saffron]

to this country

[royal orchid]

every other language translates brook's line to "I'm a one-woman man!!" but stephen paul knew that shit was a lie

[barren token]

Maybe brook could always hold it this long he kust never had reason to before now

[proper egret]

Idk about that lol

[timber glacier]

Brook was just an above average swordsman

[hasty sable]

Zoro killing Brook next

[wet condor]

Yeah

[pine ridge]

brook cut imu 50 years ago

[tranquil blade]

He really just did it in this chapter to aura farm

So this ship here is w the princess and brook lol..

[royal orchid]

Brook has... already cut you down.

[blazing mantle]

Observation haki….

[timber glacier]

tough

[urban lodge]

Uhh her not being a CD by birth, her having parallels to Loki, being brainwashed by Imu (this one was obvious but people denied the extent of it)

[tranquil blade]

He didnt even really have a reason to do it here either

[wet condor]

I wonder he doesn't do this now lol

[proper egret]

I’m crying that emote tho

[dense rapids]

GODA FORESHADOWING

[fast pagoda]

Candelle has crazy levels of aura

At the end of the manga "but I already slashed you at thriller bark" and luffy fricking dies

Name 3 more parallels to Loki besides killing their parent and having bandages

[tawny kraken]

I'm so happy seeing all yall finally seeing the light of glazing wrook

[pine ridge]

candelle looks like a gk to me which would make gunko a cd by birth

[royal orchid]

oh this is interesting

[urban lodge]

Bruh, you can't just exclude the ones that I mentioned

[royal orchid]

no more big boy texts

[sturdy steeple]

What Brook did might be one of the coolest things done in the series

BROOK FLASHBACK LET'S GO

this song was promised us... uhhhhh 600 chapters ago?

[urban lodge]

Not necessarily, she wasn't born or raised in Mariejois and there are HKs who aren't from the 20 families

[distant vine]

Yeah that last one was really obvious

[ivory solstice]

İmu colects HKs from othe countrys like how Batman colects Robins

[ivory solstice]

[mild pulsar]

Ive seen videos of kids saying that before idk

[ivory solstice]

only real Samurai i know is.... SAMURAİİİİİ JACKKKKK

[distant vine]

Brook and kinda Oda are fine but it is odd for the king to say that when Shuri was talking about marriage lmao

[ivory solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/samurai-jack-sword-katana-swinging-slice-gif-4574872

[trim lily]

both got their charm

[noble carbon]

Can't believe Brook always had a thing for married women with children

[prisma yacht]

Glue

[rose rune]

yeah. when I was a kid I told my mom I'd marry her when I grew up

[urban lodge]

They were both thought of as monsters or guilty of things that they weren't

[desert nest]

Eulg

[urban lodge]

There we go

[royal orchid]

Japan national soccer team nickname

[blazing mantle]

Ok you win

[fast pagoda]

I want to know where Brook's panty obsession comes from

[blazing mantle]

Geez

[distant vine]

Oh

[sly belfry]

katsura

[urban lodge]

[ivory solstice]

[tawny kraken]

[royal orchid]

SAMURAI BLUE

[blazing mantle]

If the flashback is good we’ll see

[grand flower]

Chapter out finally

@hollow dove @hazy turret this Kid

[blazing mantle]

Or if Brook uses haki then I’ll instantly switch up

[prisma yacht]

[blazing mantle]

Kid coping in 2026

[ivory solstice]

i wana bleve he asks this to the queen and king beats him up in a friendly way like in this chapter

[timber glacier]

maybe Brook will unlock haki vs Gunko

[distant vine]

100+ chapter rubber band

[tawny kraken]

wait I just realised, brook never asked to see gunko's panties, because he never wanted to see her again

[distant vine]

But yeah he'll probably come back

[ivory solstice]

Kid?

or someone else?

[distant vine]

Kid

[ivory solstice]

are there pepole who still think he is actualy death?

[sturdy steeple]

No he life

[distant vine]

I dont want this

[proper egret]

We don’t need him to repeat the same mistakes. If he’ll come back, I hope with a better mental.

[royal orchid]

it's funny to believe he's just dead done for

[ionic palm]

I dont think Gunko's going to fight at this point. And that ice is def not going anywhere until Ragnir decides to melt it himself

[mild pulsar]

Then youd have to explain why he cant use it anymore

[proper egret]

Well, maybe Oda is hinting that Kidd is one of those pirates who failed

[mild pulsar]

He looks like wapol no

[urban lodge]

He does but he's chill

[dense rapids]

Yea

[ivory solstice]

[royal orchid]

the kingslayer

[ivory solstice]

he will probably come back with 2 robot arm this time

[proper egret]

I’m p sure Franky made him start to say it no?

[ionic palm]

its not really hard. Haki is a power based on willpower. If your will is weakened, then that should significantly weaken your ability to use it or how strong one's Haki is.

If Brook is shown to be using Haki in this flashback, then it would probably confirm that he lost his ability to use it because of the Shuri incident completely crippling his will.

in order to reawaken it, I would assume it would require him to finally move on and close the book on the Shuri incident that he's intentionally bottling up.

[distant vine]

It would be insane aura for someone to ask about Barto and Kid in the SBS and Oda goes "This is a matter of reading comprehension. It's quite clear the fate they met with going against Shanks."

[timber glacier]

Sort of like Moria

[proper egret]

Yeah I think he’s prob gonna be a support

[distant vine]

But nah theyll be fine

[proper egret]

This

[distant vine]

Bandages do eveything

[proper egret]

Lmaoooo

[ionic palm]

this guy gets the idea at least

[ivory solstice]

pepole are downplayeing him so much. he literaly broke BM'S arm with no ryo

[proper egret]

I’m actually very impressed with Oda. The fact Kidd fans are patiently waiting for
Him to shine, is gruesome

[wet condor]

He's coming back either way

[sly belfry]

kid sweep

[distant vine]

Jinbe fans so beaten down I havent even seen a single one of them come up with the idea of Jinbe vs Zaza

Its over?

[ionic palm]

hard to imagine how tbh :d

and what he'll do from here, he lost all his poneglyth rubbings because of the Shanks clash and has no ship now.

[proper egret]

It’s just his mental…not about strength…

[wet condor]

I doubt there are that many people who think Kid and Barto aren't still around

[proper egret]

He had no reason to get ahead with himself lmao

[rose rune]

I can't be considered a jinbei fan, but I and a lot of others have said that

[wet condor]

I hadn't thought of this but this makes sense

[final trench]

Aye man

It could happen

[wet condor]

He'll do whatever Oda has him do

[muted hedge]

Kid not coming back would be a waste

[stone terrace]

not at all

[muted hedge]

i mean he has conquerors haki which we never saw

[wet condor]

It's not even a matter of it being a waste

It's just like, it's obvious he's coming back lol

[final trench]

We got metal hearts/bullets
twin shanks
An unseen realm of elbaf

Its time

[stone terrace]

Kid has had no plot thread setup that would be dropped if he were to never to return

[ivory solstice]

he used it one time on kaidos crew member but it didnt even knock him down

[final trench]

And bro was on the cover story

[ivory solstice]

it was funny more then how it was impresif

[wet condor]

This is kind of true

But he's coming back regardless

[grand flower]

You’d have said the same about Moria two years ago

[ivory solstice]

https://youtu.be/RwCrwlVL0m0?si=RGnGI3jnGZln5_xh

[stone terrace]

That doesn't make it any less true

[grand flower]

It’s happened enough times that it doesn’t mean much with OP

Happened with Hachan and Gedatsu

Alvida lol

[wet condor]

Icon's right in that there isn't any big, particular plot point Kid where it's immediately obvious why he'd come back

But he's coming back regardless

[final trench]

Its implied he has it in the manga

He just need a mentor fr

[ivory solstice]

Coments are some good slander

[dense rapids]

Gunko’s mom is gonna follow the opera house trope

She’s either gonna get kidnapped or kill someone during the opera

[wet condor]

There are only a handful of people who genuinely think he's not coming back

[distant vine]

Maybe its not over then

[wet condor]

Majority of people who say that he isn't are trolling lol

[ivory solstice]

finaly some good slander

i love kid but those are funny af

[distant vine]

Gedatsu's a cover story, dont count

But, the other two do count

It doesnt take much for him to come back true

Some bandages and a boat is all

[blazing depot]

Gunko’s mom has got it going on
