    Chapter Discussion One Piece Chapter 965: The Kurozumi Clan Conspiracy

    Ohhhh man, the mother of all build ups. It's Roger vs Whitebeard next week! All the animals freaking out and running away is a very hype premonition. Gods are about to clash. Oden still messing around and having fun, only Oden would start a family on the ship and take his kids on the adventure...

    Fanclub Beast Pirates Fan Club

    Kaido's age still completely confounds me. The Ace novel put him in the same generation as Shanks, not with Big Mom. And I doubt that's a reference to when Kaido became a Yonko as the marines went out of their way to mention that Shanks barely gained that status 6 years ago. Not a single silver...

    Speculations How would Oden have impacted Marineford?

    I could see Oden and Mihawk seriously eyeing each other and dueling the entire time. Oden would be 59 in the current story line, a bit too old be WSS but still a very challenging contender. A character as notorious as Oden just forces Garp or Mihawk into the front lines. Sengoku might even...

    Questions & Mysteries What would Blackbeard think of Oden?

    The timeline is much tighter than I thought. Blackbeard joined WB's crew no later than 24 years ago (there is no exact date), Roger was executed 24 years ago, Oden was executed 20 years ago. These two very influential men might have completely missed each other by as little as a year. I guess...

    Questions & Mysteries What would Blackbeard think of Oden?

    Blackbeard and Oden share an unusual amount of similarities and probably got to know each other well back in the day. It's even possible Blackbeard's life plans were influenced by what he saw from Oden's path. Regardless, I doubt we'll ever get Blackbeard's thoughts on Oden unless he becomes an...

    One Piece Episode 913 - Everyone is Annihilated - Kaido's Furious Bolo Breath!

    Good episode, but not great. Last week felt much better paced due to the dense content in the parts adapted, this week you could feel the stretch. All these cinematic shots of Kaido's massive size eclipsing the sky and overwhelming the town were amazing, I could pause and admire that shit all...

    Questions & Mysteries Why was Ace's bounty so low?

    Ace had a perfectly promising trajectory for only 3 years of being a pirate. People need to consider the age of these characters. Ace: Died at 20 achieving 550 million Sabo: age 22, worth 602 million (probably doubled since Reverie) Law: Currently 23, worth 500 million Eustass: 26 Currently...

    One Piece Episode 912 - The Strongest Man - Shutenmaru, the Bandits Brigade Chief!

    Great episode. Didn't cover a whole chapter but it sure felt like it, the fight animation was pretty good, and we got that epic manga cliffhanger. Already saw Shutenmaru's color scheme in the mini-Oden flashback and liked it. It looks like the Nine Red Scabbards will have a very colorful...

    Break Week One Piece Chapter 964: Oden's Adventure

    What a marvelous chapter. The flashback just keeps getting better and better and I can't see the climax in sight. It's written that way by design, probably to match the crescendo of Oden's life. Last week we saw the retainers reach new heights by becoming better versions of themselves, this is...

    General & Others Charlotte Brulee Appreciation Post!

    Brulee's a good supporting sister, but her ability honestly makes her one of if not the BEST battlefield supports in the entire series. Obviously without Brulee, the Strawhats don't even stand a chance in a Yonko territory. - She can transform the appearance of herself and others, even a...

    Questions & Mysteries When and how did Apoo meet and join Kaido ?

    He's Kaido, he shows up when you don't expect him and you have no idea what he plans to do. Even Jack was freaked out and called him crazy. Jack was just taking care of business in his own Wano region. Apoo definitely wanted to cement the fake alliance and bail out of there, before Kaido showed...

    Fanclub Charlotte Family/Big-Mom Pirates FC

    Does anyone get the idea that Big Mom was originally supposed to fight with a flail or a mace? But then Oda remember he already created Rakuyo back in Marineford. It almost feels like a waste with Rakuyo. Big Mom's homies have all sorts of bizzare properties like transforming and combining...

    JUMP FESTA 20 Will Be Held on Dec 21-22 2019!

    I hope he addresses the 5-year thing to cut down on some of the wild speculation. Chapter 1000 is very likely to happen at the end of 2020, I wonder if he'll tease that as the climax of Wano.

    One Piece Episode 911 - Bringing Down the Emperor - A Secret Raid Operation Begins

    Very pleased with how short they kept the flashback sequence. I'm sure somebody must have been tempted to reanimate Kinemon and gang's entire journey from Punk Hazard to write off the rest of the episode's content as filler. Though it would have been a nice touch to point out that even before...

    Questions & Mysteries Did Orochi kill Oden's father?

    This panel certainly seems to hint that. Sukiyaki and Oden's final meeting, Sukiyaki in poor health, and Orochi just happens to be present. Orochi is a born treacherous snake, his best weapon is his venom. It wouldn't surprise me if he slowly poisoned Sukiyaki to make his illness seem natural...

    Chapter Discussion One Piece Chapter 963: Becoming Samurai

    Absolutely loved this chapter. The three non-human Scabbards are the ones that stuck out to me most initially because of the way Wano is. Oda didn't spare any details giving us their origin stories, their first encounters with Oden, and their interaction with the Scabbards. Little Kiku being...

    One Piece Episode 910 - Legendary Samurai - The Man Who Roger Admired!

    I see it now. Kaido's got the three calamities, Toei blessed us with the three nitwits. :suresure::suresure: Not-King on the left, not-Jack as the tallest one, not-Queen on the lower right, and the 4th one is Carrot rabies mode. Not-Queen managed to stall the Hitokiri Battousai. Top tier.:funky:

    One Piece Episode 910 - Legendary Samurai - The Man Who Roger Admired!

    Excellent episode. A lot of content covered, the storyboard started and ended at great points. At no point did I feel bored as something was dragged unnecessarily, and the padding of action scenes/shots that created the setting/the intensity of the emotions only enhanced the experience. I guess...

    Chapter Discussion One Piece Chapter 962: The Daimyo and his Retainers

    Great chapter. I love seeing Oden and his boys tour Wano. It's like a glimpse at the pirate adventure of someone besides the Strawhats. Kiku is practically a toddler but boy Ashura is already a mountain like Chinjao. Still funny that Oden is not even trying recruit his nakama, these leeches just...

    News Former Editor Naito changed his mind regarding “5 years” issue

    Wano arc is one thing, but whether Oda can plan and execute the final arc on such a schedule is a different monster entirely. Shonen manga have a reputation for final arcs that drag on much longer than expected. That's the culmination of the series, everything has to be wrapped up. The end has...
