5/10 at best overall. That it doesn't rate lower is mostly a testament to the quality of the manga. The Big 3 all have comparatively bad adaptions. They suffered from being too popular for their own good. Uneven art quality is a given, but their anime's all were full of filler's, with terrible...

Outside of plot reasons, I see it more as a prophecy. The best case one can even argue is Kaido barely beating Whitebeard in a 1v1 duel, but in an all out war? Beast Pirates have zero chance of winning. Oden and the other Roger Pirates know the "truth" of the world. The current year unless...

If even Rocks a Conqueror's user and a D was turned, it seems like no-one is safe from Domi Reversi. We haven't seen any Devil Fruit user get turned yet, maybe since they already have the "devil" in them, or it could be that only Zoan's are immune since they have a will of their own. For now...

Fair, but that's more how the world sees it. Right Hand in general is not the proper term. Whether it be Right/Left Hand or Wings the proper title is moreso Vice Captain or First mate. Marco's official rank is 1st Commander. Only within the crew do they know the number isn't meant to represent...

Like the Straw Hats, Whitebeard never had a official First mate. And unlike the other YC1, Marco was seemingly never a founding member or one of the initial strongest of the crew. Years after God Valley, he's still an apprentice. Whitebeard's No 1 went from Rakuyo -> Oden -> Marco Even then...

Feels like we're still missing something. The main reason for the fight. Especially now with Saturn/Imu on the battlefield. Blackbeard is obviously going to live so perhaps Eris is the one who gets Domi Reversi'd.

Perhaps. It seems like there's a difference between their regeneration and Marco's. Coc in general is the greatest attack amplifier so it could be a strong enough attack, rather than needing to be coated in Conqueror's in particular. Holy Knights/Gorosei regenerate slower the stronger the...

Redon has been leaking spoilers for years. In this case, he never posted his usual vague leak about something from the chapter. Just a "hype" post. Either it's his usual preemptive rating every chapter having "epic double spreads" or he might actually have got access to the Chapter two weeks...

Right now, definitely. Blackbeard pirates are somewhat above typical Yonko crews with Aokiji joined, but still they pale in comparison to Imu's side. BBP will get a modest boost when his Captains who recently got their DF get more mastery, but that's not much in the grand scheme of things. If...

Holy Knights with some clear non human members. Whether being royalty is a requirement or not, they might be exceptions like Loki. Allowed to join based on strength. It might not necessarily be a new race but we haven't previously seen a presumably Ancient Giant/ Fishman hybrid.

I think not necessarily. Between the manga itself, anime, side content like Databooks/ Vivre cards, unused ideas, and now even Live action, Oda likely has to remember and approve so much different details it surely slips his mind sometimes how much information he's revealed and where. Stuff that...

In general Marco still has two chances for more story relevance. Weevil plotline and then final battle with Blackbeard. I'm sure Marco will get featured in more but he won't be the main focus. In this God Valley flashback we might see Whitebeard get his original top men like Rakuyo and Whitey...

It's impressive Oda can still pull out these far-fetched reveals this late into the series, that no-one sees coming but makes somewhat sense. Moria being a Kozuki seems so out of nowhere and random almost like if "Whirlpool" Squard is actually connected to the man with the burn scar. But the...

Actually a much tougher question than expected. Basically an animal that is full of downsides with little to no benefits. But I can't actually think of any useless Zoans in the series. Zoans are almost always a free and quick boost. Even seemingly bad ones like Caterpillar guy is a New World...

Serious is a better descriptor then fun. New World itself was seemingly meant to be more violent kill or be killed compared to the other Paradise half of the Grand Line. Where one has to surrender to a Yonko or be crushed. It reality it seems one can survive just fine in the New World without...
