A Germa cover story. Thrilling. Place your bets now, will it have Pedro and Pekoms survival in it?
The last chapter was a few pages short- if it had even included just that first page of Sanji kicking Queen out of the island it would have improved it. Last week the final attack didn’t have enough impact, it wasn’t distinct enough from any of the other attacks Sanji had landed. Including the results could have helped change that.
Anyway, on to the fight that was actually good.
Sexy Ganguro King was unexpected. Thought he would have had red skin or something. No fire = really fast, fire = really tanky, is interesting enough.
Zoro was at his “complete and utter dick to his enemies best.”
The brief flashback was good. Again, hinting at these wider motivations for Kaido. Also, with King having been at PH (and Kaido) I wonder if SSG will include Vegapunk managing to add Lunarian traits, along with all his other experiments. Would be very interested in seeing a full Beast Pirate recruitment flashback.
Was that a CoC clash at the bottom of the page after King uses the swordcatcher? Same sfx usually used and I can’t think what else Oda would be drawing.
And yeah, that final attack, offt. Looked great.
I was saying during the break week I felt this needed two chapters to wrap up. I think Oda just managed it in one. Had it been a longer fight, stretched over two, could have been Zoro’s best fight so far, as it was, taken as a whole I’d say it was really good, but not the clear best. Shane he felt the need to rush to fit the fights into the end of the volume (I’m pretty sure).
Oda should now embrace the meme amd have an entire chapter of Raizo vs Fukurokujo as the last fight of all. Including Kaido.
With all the Beast Pirate fights done I think it’s fair to say- underwhelming, as a whole. There’s an interesting crew there if Oda had spent the time on them. Cutting down on the chapters where there’s like five different scenes happening and giving at least one more chapter for each would have vastly improved things. I know Oda has said he won’t do that anymore, but he really should, because tbh, moves the plot faster than his plodding “lets get from A to B” stuff.
Next ten chapters (a full volume) might see Kaido fall.
beautiful choreography advcoc looking sexy af and so does king.
