Alternate title: Maschenny's Father Complex Introduction As is the case for some of the direct descendants of the 10 Families, Maschenny Zahard seems to have a fixation on her Father. Curiously though, the Father she's fixated on is not Khun Eduan but rather King Zahard. Her fixation on...

Feel free to suggest more poll options.

Introduction There seems to be a very pervasive opinion in the fandom that Maschenny is nothing but a pawn, servant or puppet of one of the Family Leaders. That's she's nothing but a mere piece on their gameboard. I find this opinion very vexing (it denies Maschenny of any actual agency) and am...

One Piece Magazine Volume 6 said: Who is this "strong samurai"? Or do they not exist?

Kaido declares that there shall never again be a monster samurai of the likes of Kozuki Oden: Who is the "monster samurai" that shall prove Kaido wrong?

Introduction Many people seem to believe that it will be someone else. I've heard speculations that Shiryu will kill Mihawk and Zoro will then fight Shiryu instead. Or that Zoro's final opponent will be the Gandhi Gorosei. I always found such speculations very lacking, but recent events have...

Introduction In his blog post for Season 3 Episode 103, SIU drew a Maschenny doodle: He also dropped a short comment on her: Season 3 Episode 103 Blog Post Source Immediate Takeaways The main things I immediately note from the blog post are: Maschenny (and Yuri) are charismatic by nature...

I think the answer is yes. Surpassing Oden by blackening Enma would be much less meaningful and impactful if it happens after Wano. There wouldn't be anyone to properly appreciate the magnitude of the accomplishment. Gyukimaru and Hitetsu are citizens of Wano. Gyukimaru told us that Ryuma...

Disclaimer I'm not really in the right headspace to write another essay right now, so this wouldn't be that. Introduction Many people have made the following two accusations: There is no narrative for ZKK Zoro fanboys just want ZKK to happen so they can jerk off Zoro There are many other...

Disclaimer This is probably definitely going to be long. I'll try to keep it to a manageable length (I failed woefully), but so do buckle in and grab a cup of coffee (or other beverage of choice). This may also contain spoilers for Tower of God up to S3 E100 (for anyone currently reading it)...

We all have our takes and headcanons that are at least a deviation from the median opinion, merely not so widely accepted by the fandom, or even firmly outside the Overton window. It'll be fun to list them out, hear what others think about it and maybe even laugh over them together. My...

A "Dangerous Person" In S3 E98 Asensio revealed that AA was working with someone that was "very dangerous": Previously in S3 E55 AA revealed that he had connections to the "leaders" of the Khun Family, and so he wasn't worried about Prime White: For convenience, I would refer to this...

The Khun Family Lyborick revealed that he was selected to consolidate the alliance between the Khuns, the Lo Po Bia and the Zahard Army: In the very same chapter, it was revealed that there's a promise between the Khun and Lo Po Bia Families that Maschenny was expected to honour: So on...

Introduction Many people think that Zoro is done after his defeat of King in 1035. That he has no important role (at least not a combat one) to play for the remainder of the arc. I think the opinion is misguided. Zoro still has two very important plotlines that have yet to receive any sort of...

Introduction There seems to be a very common conception that Corps Commanders are Top 100 Rankers, but I honestly find this to be very unlikely. In fact, I think that ALL the Corps Commanders that we've seen fall outside the Top 100. Distribution of the Elite High Rankers My reason for this...

Introduction The Princesses of Zahard are considered the "ultimate species" in the Tower: Top 15 High Rankers Character Profiles: #3 Zahard Source I decided to cover in detail, what exactly this means. This post is intended to serve as a repository of all hype that SIU has provided (in the...

Disclaimer It should go without saying, but I'm speaking only about the Ranker Princesses. And for the purposes of this essay, unless otherwise specified, I'm talking about the median Princess (so not the likes of Adori or Enne). I know many will mention Yuri Zahard as a counterexample, but...

Introduction There is the possibility that the imitation Lightning Spear technique is something Lyborick developed later on (due to his yet to be revealed inferiority complex). It may not have been his original fighting style. During Genesis, it seems as if he didn't fight with the Lightning...

Maschenny's best faces: Maschenny's best poses: I'll post fanart later. @Alibaba, @Enryu, @Shadowlord123, @MonsterKaido, @Marimo_420, @God Ward. I'll think up a poll later.

It seems as if Oda very much intends for Sanji to remain the #3 of the crew. Robin called him the wings of the Pirate King. The chapter when he returned to action alongside Zoro was titled "The Stars Take the Stage". So from a narrative perspective, I would expect Sanji to remain as the #3 of...
