The Yonkou saga ends. Cringe. I'll admit I had exceptionally high hopes for Wano. Kaido and the Beast Pirates fired my imagination. But as the arc wore on, the story no longer interested me. Honestly I got bored. The more Oda attempted to subvert expectations and be unpredicatble with his...

As everyone else has pointed out, its something to do with his fire. Also his SM Gimp attire could be a dead giveaway. Queen noted he is a 'torture-loving freak'. Perhaps King goes both ways. He's into torturing others and also enjoys self-torture. Specifically his power is a form of 'Pain...

Finally realised why Marco was sweating bullets here. His regeneration requires the blue flame to burn his wounds. Peros's candy arrow not only will pierce him but smother his flames and since they don't really burn, his fatal wound isn't regenerating and that's it for poor Marco. Oh yes. Great...

Awesome parallels drawn between Alvida/Coby and BigMom/Kaidou. Definitely feels like Oda went back to draw more inspiration to beef up these two Yonkou antagonists. To be honest never saw Coby related to Kaidou in this manner before lmao.

oh fuxk...forgot to log off

Finally a chapter worth commenting on. Kaidou is confirmed to be a pain-loving tank. The Kenpachi parallels. It's made even more explicit here. He's enjoying himself immensely. I for one am happy that he's getting this portrayal which was always on the cards. The earlier times when he seemed...

The issue with the Vivre card was that it was fans who thought it foreshadowed the alliance bwteen BM and Luffy. It didn't happen (maybe it will...dont care). My point is Oda has prior in laying out plothooks and Chekhov's Guns all over the place that lead to fan theories. But the execution...

On the same boat when it comes to Zoro vs Kaidou. He's gonna slash him like no-one else has done since Oden. But he isn't killing Kaidou. That scalp is just too big for the subordinate of the future PK. The fall of a Yonkou is majorly world-shaking in its implications. I feel if Kaidou has to...

Eh...The problem with the whole set-up is that it wasn't just telegraphed, Oda and his team shouted it from the rooftops. Even the One Piece Magazine hinted that Ryuma's legend will potentially be recreated. I mean, sure if that's what Oda intends. But making allusions every other chapter? Feels...

I'll just copy-paste what i posted on the chapter thread On top of that, we really haven't seen his Fishman based powers either. I'm sure that's how he sank two out of 4 navy escort ships under the watch of Sengoku, Fujitora and Tsuru, and not by lobbing cannonballs while the latter three sat...

thanks for the Like :D

Early days and till it is somewhat confirmed by the VIZ fans but still, we finally get a glimmer as to why the Calamities and Tobi Roppo could be loyal to Kaidou. Before this it seemed that being under anyone else ( any other Yonkou) would be preferable since staying with Kaidou leaves one...

The sentiment is understandable and even excusable. But this is on par with WCI pre- portrait break Tea Party for me. Whereby Katakuri was running around like a headless chicken unable to stop the inevitable. And really, Oda originally never planned Katakuri the way he did, as some sort of...

It's not that he cried. Anyone can get overly emotional, even over the most trivial of things. But that he revealed it just before said chapter would come out, or even two weeks away. Makes me think it has nothing to do with someone dying. We just had an apparent beheading last chapter. Sort of...

I'm no fan of Zoro and think he's an Oda indulgence tbh, but even i think it's going to be him that takes down King in the end. But more or less after a group effort. It's obvious really. Zoro is the Ryuma of One Piece. Ryuma ( in Monster) was actually 'King' whom he was seeking to defeat. Zoro...
