Did you pick up the antiviral cream I prescribed for your rash?

The best he's gonna get are the shrubs Super Sommers is about to sprout from his nipples.

Not really measurable. We know their next major opponents are the top two Titanic Captains, who aren't in the Gorosei, Yonko, or Admiral league. So, most likely, they'll start closing in on the very bottom of top tier when they win their BBP matchups and only become bona fide top tiers when they...

We have a weather related opponent who is harming children. This has Nami written all over it. She'll save the children but get beaten by ZaZa. Sanji will be in a situation where he has to defeat Killingham to save Nami, who he knows for a fact will die if he doesn't. Since he can't harm ZaZa...

Surtur is a fire giant from Norse mythology, not a demon or devil of any kind. It makes no sense for Oda to randomly deviate from the established demon/devil motif of Sanji's fire powers and jump to something unrelated conceptually. The natural promotion from a generic devil (Diable) is a more...

I was thinking that for Sanji’s final Jambe, Oda could add a subtle demonic face formed from the flames, alongside the black lightning to make it more unique, something similar to this.

Diable (Generic Devil) Red/Orange fire---->Ifrit (Elite Devil) Blue flame-white lightning---->Maō (Demon King) Purple flame-Black lightning. Keep it simple.

We could see a situation where Sanji is backed into a corner because he can’t bring himself to destroy ZaZa, but if he doesn’t, the children will be lost. Maybe we have Nami show up, trying to help the kids, but she’s defeated and is on the verge of being killed by ZaZa. That desperation could...

The Straw Hats operate as an ensemble cast, with Zoro and Sanji generally standing out more than the rest mainly because they are powerhouses in a battle Shonen. The narrative and thematic focus shifts throughout arcs. Sometimes it is centered on a Straw Hat, a soon-to-be Straw Hat, or someone...

Seeing as some of them have massively overshot every matchup expectation for Zoro since then, I’d say yes. Zoro fans haven’t been able to reach that same high for years now, and they probably won’t until Zoro defeats a top-tier opponent. So, some of them seem to be in a perpetual state of...

Swordsmanship nowhere to be found, bouncing off nothing at laser speed, shit exploding randomly. No finesse or skill. What a disservice to the character, just giving him abilities he doesn’t have instead of staying true to his style, which could be elevated with a little more creativity and...

Flying pale faced feminine looking trickster with mind based powers. Also, Sanjis Roger pirates parallel is a navigator, like Lafitte.

I won’t sit here and pretend that Beavis and Butt-Head are hot competition, trust me. I would’ve liked for Sanji to unlock CoC under better conditions, but Oda writes these things like he’s checking off a laundry list. On the bright side, this arc puts more stock into Sanji vs. Lafitte. Let’s...

I think Oda is operating differently here because he isn’t going to give Luffy a victory against Imu. It’s not a traditional war arc like Wano or EL. Even back on FI, the M3 fought underwhelming opponents because the focus was simply on showcasing their progress. Oda might rush through these...

Some people enjoy Surströmming, how?, I don’t know. Why not eat anything else? Who knows? They like it though. It stinks big time, they know it, they'll open it like it's a bio-hazard and eat it anyway.

That’s the other extreme: the belief that a well written character is a morally ambiguous drifter with no ties, wandering the world without a meaningful backstory, having “earned” their strength while remaining untouched by destiny, fate, or luck. This isn’t inherently good writing; it’s just an...

I'll be waiting for that 43 page essay.

The Pirate King and his equals roamed the world, but the status quo didn’t change. Even after their time, Imu still rules. Luffy reaching their heights isn’t enough, he must go beyond them, which can only be done by defeating the “world,” as Xebec puts it. Blackbeard will be Luffy’s greatest...

I don’t believe Luffy wins here. All Imu does is push Luffy toward a power up, then is forced to retreat due to an area restriction. Oda will make it obvious that Luffy would’ve died if the fight had continued. Now, the only other option is for Zoro and Sanji’s future Gorosei opponents to show...
