I did not say that out of bias. Kishimoto himself said that before Sasuke, the story felt like it was going nowhere, and he thought it might be cancelled after ten weeks. His editor suggested giving Naruto a rival, and that became Sasuke. In other words, Sasuke did not hijack the story. His...
Oda did not ruin anyone here. It is pretty clear that he wants Luffy to get out of Elbaph as quickly as possible, because the man Roger was waiting for cannot afford to throw his life away there. And it is not as if Gaban was considering running away either, especially when he had just...
That is not Sasuke stealing focus. That is Sasuke fulfilling the role he was created for. He was never some random side character who got too much attention. He was designed to guide the story alongside Naruto. Remove Sasuke and you remove the central conflict, the emotional tension, and the...
Frieza's transformations are so clean and well constructed that you immediately feel the escalation just by looking at them. No clutter, no confusion, no overdesign. Just pure visual authority.
This all depends on one of the most important mysteries Oda has yet to reveal: what Blackbeard's fruit truly is at its core. What's behind it? What is this darkness that devours everything? Are the parallels with Davy Jones' locker just a coincidence? Now BB is a man "of the people" but against...
Coming from you I'm not surprised at all. Always sharp and culturally aware. It's a pretty in-your-face parallel this time around but hey, take the compliment regardless.:GoodLuck:
Have you read or watched FMAB? Because the similarities with Father are becoming really hard to miss. Self-proclaimed god, hidden ruler, obsessed with maintaining power, terrified of losing it. And if Oda takes it where FMA took it, Imu's "godhood" is built on a foundation that's about to collapse.
With BB the whole dynamic flips. His struggles are what's shaping him into something larger than life. He feels more and more like an anti-Imu. Imu is stagnation, 800 years glued to a throne, afraid of being challenged. BB is all momentum. Always growing, always "absorbing," always pushing...
Everything's on the table for this arc and whatever comes next, especially if Imu's trip to Elbaph costs him dearly. I'm just not sure whether BB would steal the fruit outright or absorb and store the power in the Yami void. But regardless, all this Imu exposure is not a good look for him being...
As for Imu, it's strange. He sounds ancient and contemporary at the same time. Sometimes pompous and extravagant, other times childish and petty. It's an odd mix. Like someone who's lived for 800 years but never actually matured. All that time on the throne and he still throws tantrums over a...
Honestly that depends on how you see the world and what life has taught you. There are as many sages wearing young faces as there are children hiding behind old ones. Aging is automatic. Growing is not. Some people mature through suffering and come out wise beyond their years. Others live long...
The man performed one of the craziest feats in the whole series in his old age, weakened, and still got up to keep shielding Luffy like a proper gentleman. That's not just power. That's heart. You can't teach that.
Now check Imu's expression during the attack. That's the panel that matters most. 800 years on the throne, hasn't taken anyone seriously this arc. Then one old injured pirate makes him actually focus. That face is worth a thousand words. Gaban walked into one chapter and became a myth.
The point is simple indeed. In terms of raw power potential, the only real threats to Imu are the successors of Joyboy and Davy Jones. The narrative has been crystal clear about that. Imu doesn't care about anyone else.The only names that make Imu react are Joyboy and Davy Jones. That tells you...
"But Imu is fine, Gaban didn't knock him out." Bro it's IMU. The guy sitting on top of the world for 800 years. Nobody expected a KO.
But making him actively block with two legendary weapons and STILL drawing blood? Saving Luffy from death twice? Dragging the fight to a whole different...
