Hell no lol. I remember One Piece became the best selling manga around Dressrosa or Punk Hazard. Naruto was bigger among western audiences at the time, but by manga sales One Piece beat Dragon Ball around the time Naruto ended. Kishimoto paid tribute to One Piece in his manga's final chapter...

The art. Oda clearly has been deteriorating in this department and should've gotten someone else to draw the manga while he focuses on story and writing. It would also be better for his health. This is something I used to see criticism of but not lately, likely because we just got used to...

Yes, everyone will die at some point. Just like my grandfather, I hope I die while still able to do my daily activities and mobile.

What? In what currency is the 90 billions from? I looked it up and remittances to Lebanon fluctuate between 6-7 billion US dollars a year. Or 20 Billion shekels if that hits closer to home. Still not sure what that has to do with Israel pushing for a war while depleting US interceptors for its...

The time window for striking Iran is growing tighter. We're currently heading into a 3 day market closure due to Memorial Day, which is unironically a decent predictor for Trump escalating his rhetoric/actions. But the Arab peninsula goes through an important change rn: Pilgrimage season...

Middy, You're not even doing the whataboutism right. Comparing the working class sending money to their grandma in Lebanon to Israel draining billions of dollars of US taxpayer's military inventory. Israel treats the Pentagon like a free all you can eat buffet and still complain about the service.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/05/21/us-bears-brunt-israels-missile-defense-pentagon-assessments-show/ No wonder Israelis were itching for the war, they weren't even paying for their defense. This comes after reports that Iran maintains 70% of its pre-war missile...

Money. Its like the idea they floated of having the World cup every two years. Then when they were told that brings down its prestige, they switched to doubling the teams in a world cup. Basically, the game's gone. I just checked the schedule for the first week of matches and there is like 12...

Tbf Casemiro still plays in the premier league and since Man Utd got Carrick he did well enough. They don't have anyone with his profile. Brazil really need to get good midfielders instead of just producing their 100th winger if they want to win big.

More likely that he brought Ney so that when Brazil crashes out of the quarters people won't burn him at the stake for not bringing Neymar. Ancelotti doesn't make brave decisions:kayneshrug:

https://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/17/massie-aipac-record-spending-israel-maga-trump-primary-00925375 Pushing out for the epstein files and being against the Iran war -two sensible positions- really lead to the biggest primary the house has ever seen. Delusional that some people think that...

2026 is the retirement home edition. I never expected Neymar to make it. Weird that he did but Joao Pedro didn't.

They were very dominant in water 7, and they pushed the strawhats to power-up in ways that they used for much longer after their fights (Gears for Luffy, Asura for Zoro, Diable jambe for Sanji). We're comparing the two groups rather than just two individual villains. CP9 as a whole I think were...

In their respective arcs, CP9 was the bigger threat. Though Crocodile is the best individual villain overall, and the role of Mr. 2 in Impel Down is quite great.

Its Kuzan for me. First admiral and a great intro, good backstory in Ohara, his fight with Garp was a high point post-Wano and him leaving the marines makes his character much more interesting as well.
