A lot of people seem to be under the impression that the Sanji situation contradicts the themes of WCI. I don't think thats the case. To me the thematic commentary has simply evolved. Oda is just adding something new to the conversation. Before in WCI it was emphasizing the kindness he got...

No. I still think Jinbei vs Jack is going to happen.

Even if I entertain the idea that this were true it would only be partially accurate. As plenty of bits are clearly false. Being generous, even if these were part of Oda's plan they were clearly only very rough ideas for what "might" happen. It's not uncommon for authors to change ideas as...

This is the New World. Haki isn't special anymore. It's utterly common here. No they didn't. They awakened their Haki naturally. Then trained afterwards. He obviously does but even if he doesn't? It's irrelevant. It doesn't matter if Jack was strong without Haki because at the end of the day...

Comic Spidey has an advantage in a lot of areas. Peter is disgustingly fast, has better quick thinking and years of experience fighting stronger opponents. I don't see Deku beating him. Deku sweeps movie Spider-Man though.

I agree. They're all getting Armament Haki imo. Though we have to wait for the raid to fail to get any real development from them.

Heh. It's interesting seeing this after reading the spoilers.

Someone already did a video on that topic.

Not really. Maybe you're just confused? Luffy getting defeated is just a measure of how difficult things are gonna be for him. All Oda is doing here is making it clear that Luffy has a mountain to climb when it comes to defeating Kaido. He's establishing that this isn't like any opponent...

People who think that Big Mom "stole" Nami & Usopp's fights are actually stupid. It's very obvious that they're still going to fight Ulti & Page One. Just not on Onigaishima. Oda had been making it clear that they were not ready to face them. Yet. Onigaishima is just setup for Act 4. Nami...

What are you even talking about? lol She very clearly felt that Tama helped her. Hence she was useful.

I neglected to mention that Oda seems to be giving Big Mom parallels to both Luffy & Nami for some reason. Big Mom cares about those she considers friends, food, and will do as she pleases as the mood hits her. All very Luffy like. Then of course theres the Mother aspect in which she's being...

Oda seems to be doing something interesting between Nami & Big Mom. Theres been this underlying question between them that seems to be asking: “who is superior?” Like back on whole cake Nami asks the homies “whos more terrifying me or big mom?” And they immediately choose her. Nami forces...

Eh. Theres no need imo. I don't really care how well the thread does. The people who are interested will be interested.

Thats another thing people don't often acknowledge. Yes Luffy overcomes the odds but it's not always by himself. The story likes to make a point about knowing when to rely on others. Even if Luffy beats the big bad by himself he didn't get to that point alone. Luffy making connections is a...

Yeah I don't think Killer is dying either. IMO this is the arc where Hawkins consistently sees his predictions proven wrong so that he learns not to rely on them anymore.

@Hades @uyuu @rerere Here: https://worstgen.alwaysdata.net/forum/threads/one-piece-themes-fate-fighting-the-odds.13508/ Have fun.

This was originally my comment in the chapter discussion but I was asked to make this into a thread. Keep in mind this is only a rough draft. I'll probably edit it properly and post the better version somewhere else but for now those of you who are into this sort of discussion can enjoy...

*Sigh* Alright fine. Gimmie a minute. lol.

I don't see the point. It's not like anyone on this site is interested in such things.
