    Character Discussion Why aren’t One Piece villains as iconic and memorable as Naruto/DBZ villains?

    Off-topic but I still can't seem to figure out how in the world the alliance managed to get anything going during the build up to the raid with Kanjuro being right there feeding Orochi intel in real time. Why would he wait until the day of the battle to half-ass some counter-measures when he...

    Why are Oda’s black characters super lightskin?

    Yeah that would make sense. The modern diaspora though are pretty strongly attached to their specific country of origin from my experience.

    Why are Oda’s black characters super lightskin?

    I have never ever delt with a black African that simply says "am from Africa" when asked. The actual country is always mentioned. People who haven't grown up on the continent might treat it as just one big country but I can tell you with certainty that Africans themselves will be the first ones...

    One Piece Episode 1115 - The Marines Surprised! Marine Headquarters' Former Admiral, Kuzan

    Kuzan casually breaking apart and throwing those huge icicles is sick and does a good job illustrating his level of physical strength.

    One Piece Episode 1115 - The Marines Surprised! Marine Headquarters' Former Admiral, Kuzan

    Damn Extremely well paced and beautifully animated throughout. They pretty much upped the tension and atmosphere of every single scene from the bar encounter to the Kuzan/Garp standoff all the way to Bepo's escape. The extended combat sequence on Hachinosu was fantastic but I think what makes...

    General & Others This Doflamingo is so funny in hindsight

    To be frank, the fact that Doffy managed to dig such an important position for himself in the world's balance of power politics thanks to his knowledge and mastery over the blackmarket is badass in and of itself. Dude had pretty much every big faction on the globe in his pockets from the WG...

    Questions & Mysteries How should Oda have transitioned Coby from weakling to Luffy rival

    Tbh am not even convinced Kuzan needs to be defeated at some point. As far as we know, his hidden agenda could very well put him on the "right side" by the time of the final conflict. I just don't really buy the idea that the narrative Oda is going for is that Kuzan has completely lost his way...

    Questions & Mysteries Mihawk was crushed by Linlin

    Better choreography than Oda's fights ngl.

    Speculations Which of these 5 defeated Kaido in the past?

    It's implied that his 7 Ls were not to any one individual since in the same speech we are told "in a 1v1 always bet on Kaido".

    Character Discussion Oda should’ve done a better job at portraying BB as a schemer

    I think the very first "plan" you pointed out kinda reveals how Teach approaches things. Dude was pretty much willing to let fate decide if he would pursue his goal are just give up on it entirely. If the Yami didn't come to him, he seemingly would have just continued sailing with the WB pirates...

    General & Others Worst fights in One Piece

    Law and Kid vs BM was lame. The only sections that Oda bothered to draw were simple and repetitive. The whole thing was so segmented that it never managed to feel like the huge climatic showdown the very last scene tried to sell it as. Zoro vs King was disappointing in terms of action (art...

    Current Events Kuzan Is A Contender For One Piece - Why Oda Doesn’t Care About Swordsmen

    He's also the one guy you can be sure will not be held back by any sentimental considerations. Looking forward to his showings.

    ONE PIECE CHAPTER 1121: Flow Of The Waves

    I don't remember any recent spread having color work/shading this good. Makes the art stand out in a odly, slightly realistic style you don't really expect from One Piece. Pretty great work

    Current Events Kuzan Is A Contender For One Piece - Why Oda Doesn’t Care About Swordsmen

    I think what makes it notable is that the time it takes Garp to handle the fodder and commanders would have been spent keeping up the pressure on Kuzan in more neutral circumstances. Basically, the situation they were in forced Garp to give up on potential follow up attacks each time he...

    Questions & Mysteries Who can destroy a fleet as quickly as anime kidd

    Probably any relevant swordfighter, destructive logias like Sabo, Kizaru, Akainu, paramecias like Fujitora and Teach and all those guys who generate long distance blasts like Garp, Koby, Elizabelo and am gonna assume Burgess. 1721142075 Also Luffy (big punch), Kaido (Boro Breath) and BM (homies...

    Controversial Shanks encounter with Kidd did nothing positive for the story?

    Think the problem is more so that Kid was never a very compelling character in the first place. He wasn't given the focus and achievements necessary to feel like a somewhat decent rival to Luffy despite that dynamic being forced all throughout the series since his introduction and being the only...

    Character Discussion Most complex character in One Piece

    Kuzan also has the potential to be a great vehicle to explore some of One Piece's most complex themes. Looking forward to seeing the rest of his storyline.

    Character Discussion Most complex character in One Piece

    Mentioned already but yeah gotta hand it to Fisher Tiger. Could have easily been a pretty straight forward freedom fighter with good morals type of character but Oda did a good job fleshing him out far beyond that. His death has to be one of the most powerful moments in the manga with how it...
