    General & Others Does Wano arc make you wanna quit?

    Beginning of Wano till about chapter 980 was pretty good for me. Onigashima gives me mixed feelings. It had all the usual pacing issues, the excessive fake deaths + still can't fully enjoy Nika's fighting style. On the other hand I enjoyed a lot of stuff in the raid, I just love advanced Haki...

    General & Others “One Piece isn’t known for having good fights” is not a good excuse for us getting bad fights lol

    Majority of time I've seen this was just people saying why they don't get too invested in the fights instead of an excuse. But of course, that's ignoring the shitty "huh dur, go watch Dragon Ball if you only want fights" cope. It's not like we never get good fights, but choreography is always...

    General & Others Law and Kid vs Big Mom was very disappointing

    I still have mixed feelings about this fight. It ended up enjoyable imo with the DF focus and Supernovas duo, but Big Mom only using CoC off-screen during Usopp gag moment was so fucking ridiculous and most of the damage she took was all her fault for looking the other way or leaving herself...

    Questions & Mysteries Did Oda plan Nika from the beginning? And an interesting SBS detail...

    I'd say it's the same scenario as Haki where he had few ideas/concepts that showed up quite early in the manga and around Skypiea, but too far from a complete thing planned.

    Break Week So far Is Gear 5's Cartoon Shtick Improving the Luffy Vs Kaido Fight or Ruining it?

    Wouldn't say "ruin" yet, but fight choreography for chapter 1045 was really bad IMO. The few pages from 1044 worked fine for me in both fighting scene and comedy tho.

    One Piece Chapter 1045: Next Level

    Last chapter did a nice job in mixing the silly cartoon style for the fight, but this one was easily my least favorite for Luffy vs Kaido (1026 onwards) :lusalty:

    Break Week How do you come to terms with the fact that you have wasted your life reading this series?

    The manga mentions destiny and stated "there are no coincidences" many times, one of them being WB'd speech at his death making it absurdly obvious that destiny was a thing since forever and people still only noticed this now :luuh: Reading OP didn't prevent me from doing useful stuff with my...

    Manga Discussion Dr. Stone

    Yeah, time to get back to the manga. Stopped at some point during the South America Arc and decided to let chapters pile up.

    Powers & Abilities Jinbe has CoC haki (now confirmed by the anime)

    Just a strong CoA hardening. Sanji also had those minor black rays when he saved Momo from King or Ulti against Luffy and Usopp, but we even saw this with Sabo and freaking Don Sai in Dressrosa.

    Questions & Mysteries Why did Big Mom turn evil?

    Her flashback was pretty clear with that. Linlin's mind was never close to a healthy one, she was too dangerous to be ordered around or under control, would act first and think later even with no bad intentions, but she never had to learn what's right or wrong. Instead, she had Carmel that...

    Break Week Best Wano fight so far?

    1. Supernovas vs Yonkos 2. Zoro vs King 3. Luffy vs Kaido - can end up as my fave, it's all about how it will go from here on but I'm loving it so far. Red Scarbbards vs Kaido and Yamato vs Kaido were also great quick fights for me. Kid and Law vs Big Mom is actually enjoyable, but suffered a...

    General & Others One piece pace

    Onigashima in the anime so far is a huge letdown for me. 1 chapter per episode was working just fine for ages, it was already like that even long before time-skip. Not the best pace, but it worked well enough. Onigashima part on the other hand has many episodes with just half a chapters and I...

    What is your dream job?

    My current job as a Psychologist in a Neurological Rehabilitation center is very close to a dream job for me and the salary is very good for a newcomer, honestly. It's a shame the place is always messing up with the work agendas and making people go crazy over the lack of communication.

    Current Events Oda poor writing to portray Kid and Law the "Victory"!! Did they really beat Big Mom? Analyze!

    The lack of AdCoC was fucking disappointing when we have Luffy vs Kaido going all out with their haki clashes. Law was out of place, felt more like a callback to Sabaody, but Kid already had business with Linlin since FI arc, even attacking her ships and facing a Commander to avange Killer so...

    General & Others What do you really consider "Bad Writing" in One Piece

    There are lots of complaints I see mostly in this forum that are quite unfair or stuff that always happened since pre-TS. Yet, those are the points I think hurt the pace and tension the most from more recent arcs. Going back at deaths that had actual great setting like Kin'enom, Kiku and...

    ONE PIECE CHAPTER 1039: THE MAIN ACT

    The fight was actually enjoyable and I liked the Devil Fruit focus a lot. The lack of any moment of AdCoC clash is still ridiculous tho if this really is the end.

    Character Discussion Do you agree with the disappointment people have regarding Eustass Kid?

    With the disappointment yes, he just can't ever look impressive to me even with awakening. It's also a shame he didn't any AdCoC moments against BM so far. Still, he gets way more hate than he should. He is a nice character, just not the most impressive fighter.
