I think the seriousness will come back soon. If you think about it, Joyboy 800 years ago must have been super silly too. Yet he lost, everything went to shit, Zunesha exiled, his apology to fishmen, the robot's apology to him. Did he die, and if so how exactly ? Luffy seems invulnerable, how do...
To get back on topic, I think G5 is good as the conclusion to a 25 year old arc. One Piece is crazy long and crazy united. It's all one quest, one arc so it needed to end on a crazy note.
Gear 2 was twenty years ago lol.
If you think about it, the SHs and other characters worship Luffy since the beginning. He earned their worship by helping them, liberating them and so on. Brooke knew him for two weeks and was there two years later, no questions asked. That's faith lol.
So I guess now the faith in Luffy and the...
True, but there is no reverence or whatever. They're just pals I think. Giants seem to operate on a higher level. Elbaf is real to them, and it might just be that the island is the god and the god is the island, they don't just share the name. Loki might be a god too. It's not a big deal to...
I don't think Dorry and Brogy worship Nika. They worship Elbaf. They know of Nika and they're pals with Luffy, but that's it. If they worshipped him, they wouldn't interfere because he wouldn't need them to, he's god.
The whole chosen one/worshipped one is going to be toned down or twisted I...
I don't think you're born with conqueror's haki anymore. I think it's there for you if you want it. And you can push it as far as you want and do what you want with it. It's not black lightning, it's black ink and it's shaping your reality.
Kizaru could have this if he wanted to. He can't be...
I think it kills tension against classical foes like Lucci and Kizaru. They can't keep up. Lucci has willpower on par with guys like Luffy and Zoro, but he falls short by a little. Kizaru is a self-admited cog in the machine (aka character in a manga). He played his role and just wants out. He's...
I personally love it, especially this chapter. It might have been jarring against Kaido because Kaido was a "classical" vilain and the epitome of one ; he's just another Crocodile, Enel, Moriah, Doflamingo... Just the best of them.
(And even Kaido had a silly cartoonish side...)
Now Luffy will...
So get this. Luffy can hang out with his giant pals now, they're his equals. If Joyboy was already a giant with the same powers, who did he hang out with ?
Super interesting for me is Brogy calling Nka "this" god and laughing about it, like it's not really serious. Might be there are other gods...
I sure love the character but yeah, I really hope Oda answers this question one day...
Even taking SWORD into account (and we're not even sure he is part of it, are we ?) and imagining it turns into this amazing plot against the CD, fuck yeah !
You would have 1) SWORD, 2) positive influence on...
Perhaps he destroyed the cardiac sensor too.
Perhaps he even knew VP had a sensor and a dead man's switch to tell the truth...
I mean the parallel with Garp/Aokiji is real
Why would One Piece ending be a repetition of Naruto ending? How do you know Rocks is dead? And if he is, why does it matter ? Even if he is just a reason to contextualise Big Mom's, Kaido's, Whitebeard's and Roger's pasts, and Luffy's and Black Beard's futures ?
I can understand weekly reading...
In great writing, you can do whatever you want as long as it's great. How the hell would you know Rocks is pointless ?
I disagree about WCI ending, but agree about Wano ending. But I think it will be great in a rereading after the end of the series.
I get back to Grant Morrison but that's exactly how it feels with his runs... Amazing beginnings, middles where you feel he's lost the plot, and endings that tie everything together and you reread it all and all is fine...
To get back to the thread, I think the final act, via Rocks and Imu...
