    Questions & Mysteries Ace was executed because of Shanks?

    I mean, Roger is still an exceptional top tier. But now, he has to leech off prime Whitebeard (equal of this monster) and his subordinates (captain of two top tiers, one of whom got comparisons with Shanks)....cause he himself has nothing. I used to remember how it was Whitebeard leeching off...

    Questions & Mysteries Why is the Straw Hat Pirates’ journey so short?

    DBZ is the godfather of shounen and Toriyama allowed his MC to grow into adult, and all protagonists were adults as well. Loda is just weird with this shit. Wano should've ended with another timeskip, it makes zero sense for Luffy to go from one shot material of base Kaido, to being relative...

    Questions & Mysteries Ace was executed because of Shanks?

    The Roger of our imaginations (or at least mine lol) pre TS was a more legendary figure than Rocks lol. Even Rocks didn't live upto what we thought about him lol. Rocks was implied to be a far more chaotic and maniacal figure than what he turned out to be.

    Questions & Mysteries Ace was executed because of Shanks?

    Yeah, Oda was very clearly implying that Roger, even as a very young man, knew there was something he had to do and that he was driven by destiny to change the world. The very aura of Roger meeting Rayleigh was everything the CDs feared about the Ds. An uncontrollable, almost prophetic, rebel...

    Questions & Mysteries Ace was executed because of Shanks?

    Oda changed Roger's role in the series. Roger went from the over-arching larger than life figure, who had some similarities with Luffy but was still implied to be notably different; to ditto old gen Goofy having mickey mouse rivalries. Pre TS Roger was the undisputed GOAT. And the way even...

    General & Others At Their Peak Who Was The Best Villain in Naruto?

    Pain >> Orochimaru > Madara >>> everyone else Pain is just GOATed. Naruto would've been top tier if Kishimoto somehow managed to wrap up the series with Pain as the endgame boss.

    Questions & Mysteries What is Teach's non-sleeping ability related to?

    I don't think it's haki related. Him not sleeping is the same reason Luffy and Zoro said "it's not he, it is them" It is also the same reason he can eat multiple devil fruits. IMO he has multiple souls within his body. Likely 3 - his own soul, Rocks and Davy Jones.

    General & Others Isnt it funny how Oda could lose interest in the straw hats but never side characters?

    A good thing. One Piece world is actually interesting, but strawhats are trash. I only wish that Oda sidelined Luffy as well, and we completlely went off the script. Like HxH lol

    Zenzu spitting facts lol. I'll just push back on "Luffy won't leave Franky, Brook or Robin to handle Ray like with BM". He absolutely would lol, if plot demands. It's unfair to downplay BM for this. Other than that, Ray's portrayal is comparable to Oden's - partner type RHM of Roger/WB. IMO...

    Oh ok lol. I thought there may be one more episode to tie up Deku, Bakugo, and some shipping stuff. Didn't expect two more

    Anime Discussion My Hero Academia Final Season

    I think we just had the final episode of MHA yesterday. Thoughts on the series? I am personally pretty satisfied with the ending, though everything isn't perfect. Loved to see villains who were actually strong and competent.

    Manga Discussion Fairy Tail

    @God_Aizen Damn, thats long lol. I'll try to respond later Nah, One Piece has hax done right. It is good design for hax to have reliable ways to counter it, like haki. How shitty would it be if Perona or Sugar can neg Shanks or Kaido? You can argue about how the haki system itself got...

    Manga Discussion Fairy Tail

    I suppose not. Lots of dudes like them. Personally, can't imagine those guys being anyone's favs, those trashcans defined the worst arc of the main series. Because it's lazy, doesn't require any thought and works/fails based on plot. I legitimately cannot see why I am supposed to consider...

    Manga Discussion Fairy Tail

    Ajeel is actually one of the less shitty ones. He would've won against Erza in a clean 1v1. Brandish, Dimaria, Jacob, Neinhart, Bradman are straight up trash once you remove the hax. I'm willing to make an exception for Dimaria here, simply because her hax is just that broken. For others...

    Manga Discussion Fairy Tail

    Actually liked the characterization of Zero/Brain. Good stuff there. It's a shame he got one shot in classic Mashima fashion after dominating for most of the fight. GOAT Serena yes. But hold on :pepestop: Average trash Spriggans don't get to leech off Serena. Most of them got one shot and...

    Character Discussion WB was one of odas best characters but every flashback he makes him worse and more retarded

    Son who is alive, paraded around and about to be publicly executed in a broadcast to rest of the world. Versus brother who had died years prior to his knowledge. An important context here. Whitebeard's crew is basically like a yakuza family. They will fight to save their member, but if the...
