There's been an interesting pattern with the original Admiral trio when it comes to their character development. Aokiji was introduced from the start as someone who questioned his faith in the Marines by letting Robin live at Ohara, and not outright killing Saul. His decision at the end of EL...

I think Blackbeard will be a two-fold fight, and you’ll see the first half of that conflict before Akainu plays a major role again. Blackbeard has to participate in the race for the One Piece, but also has to be defeated. As someone who believes that Blackbeard will be the final antagonist, I...

Didn't know that, but that'd be a sick connection. I genuinely didn't understand the pro-BB argument since in casual circles it's not even seen as a debate.

The thought of going back to Fishman Island and spending multiple chapters there legitimately makes me nauseous, even if Blackbeard is the focus. It feels even worse because we're guaranteed to go back there eventually.

Hmm, I see it. That is pretty consistent with how blades are drawn, very helpful. Genuinely a strange way of introducing such a massive reveal though. It had such little focus in the chapter itself that I didn't even think of Greenbull having a Black Blade until I came here and saw people...

I don’t know how to phrase this without getting verbally jumped since I know it’s a hot topic, but I still don’t think Greenbull has a black blade. It looks like a sheath. Who would wear an unsheathed sword going straight through their pants? Why did no other character comment on the black...

I wish we were getting new Togashi tweets :/

Sanji blocking Kizaru’s beam was the coolest thing he’s done since Ennies Lobby. I’m so happy he got a big moment like that in Egghead.

I’m genuinely not sure, but at the very least we need to see the Man Marked By Flames before Laugh Tale. It’s possible he’ll be circling his ship around Lodestar, but that’d be pretty artificial if the SHs just happen to run into him after leaving Elbaf. So MMBF happening before Laugh Tale is...

Honestly, I’ve started seeing Dragon and Mihawk as relics of a time when Oda legitimately thought he could wrap up the story in 5-10 years from the start. They’ll get their time to shine eventually and I have no doubt that they will have some insane showings when they finally do, but they’re...

Hard to tell since we know so little about them but I’m going with Pitou high diff. Chrollo is doing a lot of work here and I think some hax/environmental play is neccessary to take out Pitou. I don’t think the two Zoldycks have that, at least not without one dying or both sacrificing themselves.

So, in most situations involving a RG, I’m going to side with the RG. I still see some fans underrating them or not fully comprehending how insane they are combat-wise. But the trio probably takes it here. Usually most RG matchups that aren’t in favor of the RG involve one of these 3 so having...

This was an evil thread bump. For a second, I had hope :(

I think they’re meant to be distinct entities. Blackbeard already has so much going for him and has carved out a significant portion of the narrative’s future just for himself and his crew. Cross-Guild will have their own role to play but it’s one seperate from BB’s.

GODa foreskinned a second Doffy— possibly a twin brother, who will play a major role in the Final Saga. Japanese fans already knew this because baldmingo spoke in a different dialect than realmingo.

The amount of allies compared to enemies so far really makes me think we’re going to see another faction show up on Elbaf or that the Holy Knights are going to call for reinforcements once they realize the SHs are present. I don’t neccessarily think the “game” line from 1141 means that Elbaf is...

That's fair enough. If he was given the offer, I don't think he'd actually take it up without good personal reasons, which might just be wanting to see the coming global change firsthand, or to participate in the chaos at Mariejois.

Nice to see iconic One Piece character "That Man" get some proper representation in merchandise.

Random giant living on Elbaf. Considering how awful the life of your average One Piece civilian is, I'll gladly take it. Seems comfy and relatively conflict free as long as it's post war culture Elbaf and also not during the arc itself.

Seeing that spread of the crew at Onigashima with Jinbe finally taking his place among the other SHs kind of solidified to me that we're not getting any new members. I think the Grand Fleet and inevitable ally team-up during the final arcs will occupy the same role as a new SH joining the crew...
