Yep, well said, all of it. The "goofy, carefree" characters have no consequences, neither in-verse nor by the fanbase. The rest is basically the reverse of what yonko fans, especially shanks fans seem to enjoy, "chosen" "conquerors" with the special ability to punch especially hard (because to...

You say that like it’s a bad thing. Yes, garp and Koby are among my least my favorite characters, sengoku I’m indifferent about. Garp is an incredibly poorly conceived character, just about everything about him is fanservicey and inconsistent. You don’t get to both fit the archetype of “fun...

How does this thread have any traction? It’s too generous to even call it head canon, it’s literally a fan fic.

I can just completely make something up about kaido holding hostages to deal with a difficult opponent, oh wait, that’s actually canon.

Koby is easily one of my least favorite characters and I strongly dislike his arc. But I won’t deny that this is likely, the power level for sure. It was in the stars as soon as he demonstrated strong coo in the hospital.

I’m kind of surprised that shanks fans are celebrating this. Snitch memes aside, it actually being him who spoke with the gorosei and/or who teleported onto elbaph would make his character a lot more interesting and complex. And even more plot relevant. Which is precisely why I don’t think oda...

We all know what’s going on at a meta level, oda comes up with some high level idea of a character or plot point, drops a silhouette, and then retroactively comes up with some explanation years later.

That’d explain why it’s been reserved for jobbers thus far.

All in a day's work.

It’s special enough. If it’s a highly valuable skill, you’d expect at least a couple of living people to have it, not just one. Mihawk being the only one risks its relevance. This development mostly helps his portrayal, I again don’t get why it bothers y’all so much.

Greenbull negotiated /tricked weevil rather than neg diffing him is still a very common take. I thought the invisible handcuffs was some silly meme too, but no, people legit believe it.

It's not about "want." GB's sword's visual design matches known black blades perfectly. Personally I acknowledge that that only helps Mihawk, most importantly because it demonstrates at least one other living person besides his disciple in the op-verse actually gives a crap about it. It's always...

The only correct answer. :vistalaugh:

Unironically this sounds like the case. Aramaki was a zealot on the side of law enforcement/justice

I doubt it. Diplomatic relations doesn’t mean he’s on their side. Shanks whole schtick is that he tries to play nice with everyone by default. He tried to negotiate with wb, who’s his direct enemy on paper, probably tried to negotiate with kaido as well. He knows the wg is a force that he’s...

Shrug, I used to buy into the evil shanks or even grey shanks theories, but not anymore. I’m sure there’s going to be some sort of a twist, but it’s going to end in him being a “bad guy” the way Roger was for killing people who insulted his friends, or wb was for letting civilians suffer as...

I'm quoting you because the panel of the quote in your signature summarizes why Shanks annoys me as a character. It was an internal monologue that literally no one else in the verse heard or will ever hear, complete with him having an intense "badass" look on his face. The "sage advice" he gave...

Think the premise is pretty likely aside from bm being defeated, more likely imho she attempted to conquer elbaph but the giants were able to resist and send her back. bm viewed an alliance with the giants as a complete game-changer against the other yonko crews, one that would have changed her...

I don’t feel confident predicting on the other side from you, but, zoro, robin and franky to name a couple weren’t far off. Rumors surrounding them also made them sound evil. Kuma is the most extreme example of this. Noland’s rumors didn’t make him sound evil, but they did twist the truth...
