wtf 😭

#

that was fast

#

well ig this

trail parcel
#

I only know of this show because everyone made fun of it for a week

#

Idk why

spice jungle
slender eagle
#

I read it for like 15 chpts but couldn’t get into it

spice jungle
#

It had a pretty rough start.

#

Once it gets to the first major antagonist tho it gets much better.

People just did it naturally

#

I feel like half of wano and dressrosa can be cut

knotty kraken
#

Dressrosa, less so

opal gulch
#

in terms of the anime? yes half of dressrosa

#

significant portions of episodes were purely recap

#

cut all that out and you've drastically brought down its runtime

trail parcel
#

I am basically done with Wano

#

Jesus I am almost done

trim crater
#

Nice. can't wait to finish wano whenever the box set comes out

#

Which should be end of this year 🤞

knotty kraken

#

The concept that I am almost caught up with one piece

#

That can’t be

#

No chapter this week due to GW?

#

Why is the first op for egg head so fucking good

slender eagle
trail parcel
#

It’s WEIRDLY good, I think it is the building harmonies

trim crater
#

Whoa that egghead op is good

#

Love how colorful it is

trail parcel
#

I think it shocked me because I am a bit of a hater of most of the one piece intros, I just think they are generally mid.

#

I think it’s just the music choice, idk

opal gulch
#

i should watch the newer openings

#

the most recent one i've seen is the early egghead one

safe arch
#

Nothing recent has surpassed any of the old ones for me

#

Particularly none have been on the same level as Bon Voyage imo

#

Recent I mean post time skip which was 15 years ago

#

👴

trim crater
#

I just read one piece over the past 2 years so it's all new to me. It's not 20 years old cirnu

safe arch
#

I started 12 years ago? But for reference dressrosa had already started

#

These recent arcs are so damn long

opal gulch
#

i started watching OP when punk hazard was airing iirc

#

i caught up at roughly halfway through dressrosa

trim crater
#

Yeah it's wild to me

#

Like Dressrosa was long but then I look at how long wano is

#

You can just look at the box sets

#

skypeia was so long but it was great and had a story to tell with how history works and how people are perceived later

#

Dressrosa had a lot to say about colonialism and oppressed peoples

#

I just hope Wano has lots to say as well

safe arch
#

Jaya/Skypeia is so peak

#

it is the quintessential arc for the themes of one piece

#

Lowkey though, there was a switch in the overarching theme of one piece during sabody/marineford which I didn’t enjoy

#

They were good arcs but like the major theme switch makes the time skip arcs a bit not one piece imo

slender eagle
trim crater
#

Heck yeah I know this one

safe arch
#

Man I’m watching all the openings and 2, 3, 4 made me almost tear up

#

I miss pre time skip one piece so much

#

I miss when they give a narration at the beginning of openings. That shit so peak

wanton hazel
#

Wealth, fame, power. Gold Roger the king of the pirates obtained this and everything else the world had to offer. And his dying words drove countless souls to the seas.

“You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place. Now you just have to find it!”

These words lured men to the grand line, pursuing dreams greater than they ever dared to imagine. This is the time known as the great pirate era.

trim crater
#

I will probably reread early one piece every now and then too

#

Heck, I actually reread Sanji and the head chef's story again. I just love that story on the rock so much

#

My kingdom for some food

safe arch
#

“Where are you going straw hat?”
“The sky”

trim crater
#

Yeah I think I'll do so again soon, just have a lot to read

#

power broker is a giant book

safe arch
#

Man, as much as I love “the one piece is real” moment, I kinda liked it when the one piece was something that people didn’t even know really existed or not

trim crater
#

Yeah that's how I still think of it

#

Like, it's such a good idea to have it be nebulous and potentially even be "the real treasure were the friends we made along the way"

#

I know a lot of people would be disappointed but like

#

That's pretty central to the themes of one piece and friendship and endurance through community

safe arch
#

Back before the Roger thing, I thought it’d be best if the treasure was just a bunch of money. It’s something that the majority of the crew doesn’t care about (Nami and maybe Usopp might care) so it’s still about the journey, just that there’s something materialistic too to make it so it doesn’t seem worthless

#

I’m a bit iffy on the treasure being tied down to something that’s gonna be super impactful

wanton hazel
safe arch
#

Just a bunch of food ig

#

Fate is a mean compass that deceives your heart, but I’ll take the helms and steer
Bon voyage
Leave behind your entanglements, the past
I’m sure we can still laugh at what comes in the future
If these tears shed were to make a dream come true, I’d have no regrets

#

It’s so sappy but I love this opening so much

wanton hazel
safe arch
#

Enel coming back is so weird because if he’s an antagonist he kinda just gets folded by like… Jinbe minimum

#

Think even Brook and franky have a chance unless enel gets a super power up

#

Man. The worst generation was so hyped up in opening 11. I wish they weren’t 90% bums

#

Really are the worst generation

knotty kraken
safe arch
#

Uroge can’t even get past cracker

opal gulch
#

prolly one of me favourite openings

safe arch
#

Openings where strawhats do the cover pages are fun

#

Op 12 is a bit underrated imo

opal gulch
#

12 is a good one as well

#

i like it

trail fable
#

For now that's all I got

trim crater
#

Oh nice!

#

I remember Manny mentioning those way back

#

And forgot to ask my bro to get some when they visited that store during their visit to JP

i thought those were chicken feet

Idk if there are many more too

Officially done with one pace as I am now past where they are in egghead, the end is in sight

trim crater
#

New lego products up

#

It looks like they're no longer doing wanted posters

#

Which I also agree with given the gacha element. They're fun just to get a little extra, but they could've just included all of them as part of the set

#

Oh dang I need to figure out where to read the manga. I think I will just start with elbath, even though there is a few anime episodes.

slender eagle
#

elbaph starts at 1126 according to wiki sanae_yes

#

🫡

#

Now just need to figure out where/how to read the manga

#

Do we know where this ends?

#

How much can they do in 7 episodes

opal gulch
#

no further details that i'm aware of

trim crater
#

Is that the reboot cartoon?

opal gulch
#

ye

knotty kraken
#

So I guess Mihawk showing up is the season cliffhanger

slender eagle

Surely zoro will beat this Dracula cosplayer. Cluegi

I was there on ground zero

Well the anime

I feel like I could have learned haki in this time

#

Now what do I do with my life

opal gulch
#

i hear rumours that the WIT one piece episodes will be 45 mins long each
but i have no source to back this up so take it with a grain of salt

wanton hazel
knotty kraken
#

If you do the math, that's about 42 minutes per episode

wanton hazel
#

Chapter today?

#

lmao

#

It's a shame oda did the whole vivre card thing about ||Yamato||

#

Though I like to think it's ||an AFAB thing ||

trim crater
#

Vivre card says female so transphobes like to call it the open and shut evidence

#

Even if the media suggests otherwise

safe arch
#

I mean we also have a literal trans person in Okiku in the same arc whose vivre card says Male (female by heart) so idk why they’re so focused on Yamato

opal gulch
#

i know why but i think the reason isn't appropriate for this server

#

manny might bonk me for saying

safe arch
opal gulch
safe arch
#

Man, as much as I dislike wano, I do kinda like kaido just because his themes are subtle (by one piece standards)

#

And I don’t like Yamato that much but I do like how they support kaido’s themes. Kaido wants to die a death like whitebeard or Roger to leave a legacy but doesn’t understand what it was that made their deaths meaningful. Even if kaido does marineford 2 he wont inspire anyone. And in the end he left a legacy of no one, even his child identifies as dogshit man instead of his kid

Uh would have to look it up in library of Ohara

Oh god didn't realize this was a thing too lmao

slender eagle
#

one piece isn't political Cluegi

trail parcel
#

For me it feels like Oda could take it either way, as even when they refer to themselves as Yamato and seem to break their larp for a second they still use masculine pronouns. So Oda could do a larger journey of self discovery about how they aren’t oden but they aren’t Yamato and aren’t a woman still, or it could be they completely reject being oden and go back to being a woman.

It just kind of feels like they haven’t even started their arc on this front. I feel like the second option is a lot dumber of an arc but also Oda has made weird decisions before so maybe that is his intention.🤷‍♂️

Even the fact that there is just unambiguous really solid trans rep could be used as a point in either direction. For me it just feels like a character we left before we explored that arc… although presumably they will
be back.

#

I'll see when I finally read Wano, but it's just too bad a bunch of bigots would use the opportunity to push their view even if Yamato was just a tomboy

#

I just find it all fascinating since I learned about all this when my friend brought it up over a year ago when we were playing the card game cirnu

safe arch
#

Oh oops. I hope I didn’t spoil anything cirnu

#

I thought you were past wano

trim crater
#

Nah I knew things for a while there

#

I just read the physical english manga

#

So I'm waiting for the box set later this year

#

But yeah good to not spoil given some people currently reading/viewing

#

I don't tend to have a strong reaction to spoilers since I believe that a good work will still be good even if you know the ending

safe arch
#

As an enjoyer of other tcgs

trim crater
#

How many of us were assigned Shakespeare but through culture knew the ending to Romeo and Juliet, or others, before reading and still appreciated it?

trim crater
#

I stopped playing about a year ago now

safe arch
trim crater
#

Since things got expensive and the finance bros got into it

safe arch
trim crater
#

$200 now for boxes from the LGS, and that's to regulars

safe arch
#

The 3rd best deck is under 100

trim crater
#

No thanks I'd rather just buy a new switch 2 (which also went up lol) instead

#

Yeah Imu or smth

safe arch
#

Lucy

trim crater
#

But yeah just not interested between that and other hobbies

safe arch
#

Fair enough

trim crater
#

I'm much better at hockey and skating now after investing more time in that

safe arch
#

I just see a lot of people online crying a lot but the new leaders are very interesting

#

Like do they want “attach a don all characters gain +1k” forever?

trim crater
#

It was nice when it was cheap and easy to get SRs and such

#

Now they're also expensive

#

Like back then you didn't even have to buy a box to get top decks, just buy singles

#

Like you still can but costs have just gone up

#

And yeah I've experienced power creep before, it's inevitable, but I was fearing a rotation and yep it happened

#

Like I knew those little numbers in the corner of the cards were gonna be used for something and eh

#

Combine that with one of the stronger metas/communities in the US where it's tough to win at cuz there's a lot of grinders there

safe arch
#

I think they’re doing a new wave of starter decks though like last year with buggy, Bonnie, shanks etc. Buggy was good and like 30 bucks that format so hopefully we get something similar

trim crater
#

And they love to circlejerk about how their group is so good and so much better than others

safe arch
trim crater
#

Ah yeah those decks were pretty good

#

But yeah the circlejerking etc I hate even if I'm one of the better players.

safe arch
#

Damn ok I never got that far in cause ygo is my main card game. I just went to locals and had fun

trim crater
#

Like it's an individual game, not a team sport

#

Yeah the locals here are insane. Like 50+ every week

#

So if you want to spend a weekend with 4+ rounds every week, enjoy

#

It's nice that it's healthy but just combined with everything else I decided to just stop. I might've made friends there that I could borrow from and keep in touch with like with other games but the fact that I didn't does say something about the community to me

safe arch
#

I understand the top player circle jerks to an extent. In ygo people literally paywall spreadsheets to combos and then there’s a whole scandal where the top players realized a card was good and told their fans in the paid testing group not to put it in

#

Actual scum bag behavior

trim crater
#

I'm sure there's people there who do borrow etc. from each other, but I just didn't get in with that crowd, and I don't think my life is any less enriching because of it cirno_shrug

#

Yeah there were people there streaming and trying to make Content

#

So prob some of that going on too

safe arch
#

I think from what’s going on rn, the top deck has like 2 builds, an aggro and a control build. And pros were like “control build is good” then the topping lists were the aggro build

#

I’m not sure how much of that was finding counters to the meta vs manipulating the meta

#

There’s like always a benefit of the doubt when it comes to that thing. But it still just feels bad when top players say one thing and do another

trim crater
#

Oh I mean I did magic more seriously too

#

And those def had the top pro crowd doing secret stuff

#

When big money's involved, it's gonna happen

safe arch
#

But yeah lmao. Seeing pro players be scummy really has changed the way I engage with content in card games

#

It’s just really unfortunate cause I was able to compete a lot when I had more time but now I’m busy so I understand the people that need these pro players to give summaries of the meta and mu and stuff

trim crater
#

Yep. Back at Uni I would spend a ton of time with magic and practicing/deckdbuilding, don't do that anymore

trim crater
#

I got so used to getting box sets at a steep discount I might have to hold off on the next one until it goes down in price.

#

It’s $250 retail new meltu

||rock’s being Teach’s dad is so good, really like that. Also dragon being there and being the one to save teach, the thematic foil to his own son mwah perfect ||

#

||also just the like 3 panels of Shank’s mom might be the darkest thing we have seen in the series what the FUCK||

trim crater
#

Dare I click the redacted text

knotty kraken
#

TBH Oda should canonize that theory except have Kaido's kid be one of Big Mom's lesser kids

#

Like Mont-d'Or

trail parcel
#

Atleast how I was reading it

knotty kraken
#

But also their relationship wouldn't be one where they'd have a kid

trail parcel
#

Ahh

knotty kraken
#

Big Mom ain't like that

#

I think Big Mom only wanted subservient men

trail parcel
#

Before we knew about it specifics I did think they had a kid, that was my first guess

knotty kraken
#

Sidenote but ||chapter 1161-1162 has an error where Big Mom says she wants to get the dragon fruit for Katakuri, which is a contradiction to early info about him getting the mochi fruit pretty young. The volume release changes this to have Big Mom wanting to give the fruit to Perospero. With that being said, Oda is now obligated to draw Perospero with the dragon fruit after he did so for Iva||

Terrifying

#

In this household Dragon is a HERO end of story

#

||I do like how disgusted and powerless he feels by all of god valley. The scene where garp lets him out of jail even as his son says he is disgusted in him is just really good. Garp not even arguing as I think he knows his son is right. I think there is some fun stuff of Dragon kind of being like if Luffy didn’t have that exposure to shanks and ended up being a marine.||

||I do feel like Garp’s reason for staying is a little weak, but I think that may just be inevitable evil creep haha. The world government has gradually gone from kind of corrupt to literally the devil from the Bible so it’s just hard to come up with any decent excuse for why they are still putting up with it||

||all I can say is keep reading||

My brother wants to watch the one piece movies but most of them are not available anywhere… guess I’ll have to learn from the show and pirate them.

||my theory on who is endgame is we will get a flashback on how Joyboy and Davey had different ideas on freedom but they were allies, so Blackbeard and luffy will team up in the fight against mu, and then afterwards they fight over what the world will look like now that imu is gone||

I do kind of feel bad for Shanks, Mihawk, and Dragon. Ultimate victims of the story just progressively getting longer and longer. He has probably had what he wanted to do with them mostly mapped out, but now instead of. Cool set up for late series people, it has been 25 years since they’ve done anything haha.

#

Has anyone ever asked Oda in SBS or interviews if they've read Moby Dick?

#

Cuz I wonder, with Laboon and Luffy and all

#

There's a tragedy in there somewhere with how Ahab and Moby Dick couldn't be friends

slender eagle
#

Unsure if he did, but the white beard main ship is called moby dick so maybe? yt

trim crater
#

Oh right!

knotty kraken
slender eagle
#

that's why I wrote I was unsure if he did catu

knotty kraken
#

Though now that you mention Moby Dick, the author of Riki-oh and Tough among others, Tetsuya Saruwatari, wrote an adaptation of Moby Dick called Ahab
https://vxtwitter.com/scratchthatout/status/2045403390377951419

gotta hand it to Saruwatari Tetsuya for making this first chapter of Ahab some of the most unsettling stuff to read. really capturing the spirit of madness and unreality to a story like Moby Dick. here's hoping the next three and just as disquieting!!

trim crater
#

Assigned Hunter At Birth

#

Moby Dick is also really gay. Like there's a lot of social commentary in there

#

And about the tragedy that they do all this for stuff like perfumes, whose users won't even know the blood spilled by the whalers who die in their pursuit

#

So might be of interest to one piece enjoyers cirnu

knotty kraken

#

? yt

knotty kraken
slender eagle
#

so what's the connection?

knotty kraken
#

There's a lot of (understandable) animosity between mainland Cubans and expats, especially those that left around the time of the revolution

#

The most prominent Cuban-American politicians in Florida (i.e. Rubio) are very vindictive towards Cuba, so anything that could be seen as an olive branch is DOA

#

This can be tied back into One Piece since Dragon's ship is named for a vessel used in the Cuban Revolution
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landing_of_the_Granma

Granma is a yacht that was used to transport 82 fighters of the Cuban Revolution from Mexico to Cuba in November 1956 to overthrow the regime of Fulgencio Batista. The 60-foot (18 m) diesel-powered vessel was built in 1943 by Wheeler Shipbuilding of Brooklyn, New York, as a light armored target practice boat, US Navy C-1994, and modified postwar...

trim crater
#

I'm surprised you didn't know about it Manny, but yeah

#

There's a lot of people who were Mad they lost their plantations Aristocratshi

knotty kraken
#

Well, other people left for non-plantation reasons

#

But yes, there was a mass exodus of capitalists, heavily influencing the political makeup of the Florida Cuban diaspora

trail fable
#

It's ready!

knotty kraken
# trail fable

It's weird that the packaging still calls these "Dragon's Ship" or "Blackbeard's ship"

trail parcel
#

Probably a case of either not wanting to update it, or not enough people knowing the name of the ship officially haha.

#

The only ship names I know are Luffy’s and white beards haha

knotty kraken
#

Looking at the wiki page, here are the names that would have to be updated:
Trafalgar Law's Submarine --> Polar Tang
Dragon's Ship --> Wind Granma
Nine Snake's Ship --> Perfume Yuda
Marshall D. Teach's Ship --> ||Saber of Xebec||
Spade Pirates' Ship --> Piece of Spadille

#

Fanta, idk if you care for spoilers, but you may like some of the art in this chapter widecatu

knotty kraken
# slender eagle ||wonder if we’ll get more yorki stuff this flashback. Shuri leaves, brook gets ...

I think that ||the gang was contracted by Cipher Pol as the first attempt to eliminate the royal family, and the God’s Knights will be sent in next chapter. They will either kill the king directly, or Domi Reversi the queen into killing her husband. There could also be some sort of dealing which leads to Shuri becoming Imu’s handmaiden. Anyhow, Brook is willing to take the blame because he couldn’t bear to see his beloved queen indicted.||
Additionally, ||the kingdom likely contains some treasure related to the Void Century. I subscribe to the notion that the memory fruit was used to erase all recollection of the void century. We’ve seen Brook use his music to put people to sleep, so it’s quite possible that this kingdom has a composition which could do so at a global scale. Basically, think Iceburg and Pluton combined with Melody from Hunter X Hunter||

I want to cosplay Karasu but am lazy about crafting the mask

And I'd need to get a giant feathered coat I wouldn't wear elsewhere

#

But it would be nice cuz I already wear masks to cons anyway

Also like a good feather coat's like $1000+

slender eagle
#

maybe you can see what other doffy or rosinante cosplayers have done? similar enough to get ideas I think

trim crater
#

Yeah. It's just that I also am not really into getting more fashion pieces that will only be used rarely, like for cosplay. My suwacc and cirno dresses are already that, and they take up space

Yeah yeah nothing stopping me from wearing them every day

But not really my style either
