    Chapter Discussion One Piece Chapter 984: My Bible [Break Week]

    That's not all they're doing. People (most likely other Koreans) have been reporting the Korean spoiler provider to the Korean authorities. Why would he risk his freedom for a bunch of whiny, entitled complainers online who are getting spoilers for free with 0 risk? It'd be amazingly ballsy if...

    Chapter Discussion One Piece chapter 983: Thunder

    First off this was an exceptional chapter. No doubt. The chapter overall has forced a major re-assessment of the Tobi Roppo in terms of their worth as characters, as well as the Beast Pirates as a whole who, have suffered significant underestimations (other than Kaidou and the Calamities) due...

    Questions & Mysteries Is Big Meme worst character in all fiction?

    I think the problem here was that very early on, Oda belatedly recognised that the Soul Fruit is too versatile and capable of varied powersets. On top of the powers that have been portrayed Oda could have gone really wild and added things like: - Strength enhancement = Draw the lifeforce of...

    Hope the 'No Break' thing holds for next week. Might even get a glimpse of Yamato.

    Speculations BMP won't partcipate at the Onigashima fight. Linlin "betrayal".

    If there is meant to be a betrayal it likely won't happen at Onigashima but afterwards. The initial stages of the plan will always look favourable and tilt towards the protagonists. The BMP are just temporarily put aside so Oda caon concentrate on fleshing out all the Beast Pirates and their...

    Break Week Who takes down Queen?

    well if Jack is getting potentially taken down by Nekomamushi and Inuarashi and perhaps Jinbe, then it wouldn't be surprising if a team comprising of a similar number of members would be needed to take down Queen. Based on how he seems a mish-mash of certain SH's, it's not unreasonable to have...

    Current Events The raid on Onigashima will undoubtedly fail

    I thought the Raid was doomed to fail the moment back in chapter 920, when Kinemon stated that even with gathering the 5000+ men he "doesn't want an open war" and this is designed to be a precision raid to take out the heads of the enemy leaders, namely Orochi and Kaidou. Some argue that too...

    Break Week Kaido Jr

    My mind thinks @Charlotte Horchata has the right of it here. It would be a most interesting dynmaic for Oda to explore and opens up Kaidou to further character development down the line. At the very least, it breaks up the monotony of him being written as a suicidal alcoholic jonesing for a...

    Break Week Kaido Jr

    Yeah the lad stayed in when his dad and Big Mom were shaking Onigashima to the rafters, or when the BMP were making their way up the waterfall. If he's a kid he'll be relativeky weak like Momo or Rebecca who haven't reached their potential yet. If he's older like late teens he's probably going...

    Chapter Discussion One Piece - Chapter 977 : "The Party Won't Start Now"

    Kaidou appreciates strength. Then again if it's his only progeny he doesn't mind showing him off despite the kid being a failure (if he was weak), even to someone like Big Mom a rival, frenemy and who might even take the piss. The chances of him being a limp noodle like 'Hiccup' from 'How To...

    Speculations The Theme of Shifting Identities and Mix-Ups in Wano

    Wano outline follows traditional Japanese theatre Jo-Ha- Kyu structure. The theatre - a place where actors wear masks and take on roles and characters. Beast Pirate organisation titles like All-Stars, HeadLiners, Tobbi Roppo (Flying Six) are terms used in Japanese Theatre

    Coronavirus : Pandemic Alert

    It's happened before with SARS. But it's hard to break the cultural, especially gastronomic ties. China has tried banning live animals sales before, but of course it never really works out. Snakes, civets, pangolins, you name it, there is someone who eats it. The problem with these wet markets...

    Great stuff in your sig. Seeing a Kaidou and Beast Pirate fan such as yourself warms my heart. There's been far too many who are downplaying and underestimating him and his crew for my liking.

    Chapter Discussion One Piece - Chapter 975 : "Kinemon's Plan"

    Average transition chapter. Just badly placed before a break and during these trying times. Never been a fan of Law or Kidd, so seeing them here was just...eh. Moving on. It's been so long since the SH's have been together. That was a nice thing to see. But, still a daft thing for an author to...

    Speculations Who will defeat Big Mom?

    Luffy beats her in Wano. By which he stalemates or surpasses her to an extent that she's pushed back. That's it. Oda has too much of a hang up showing his precious Gummy Boy beating up on a 68 year old grandmother, even one who is a male raping, child killing cannibal such as Linlin. Kaidou...

    Chapter Discussion One Piece - Chapter 972: I’m Oden and I was Born to Boil

    An early chapter. Nice. In all honesty, this chapter would have probably made more of an emotional impact had I been more invested in the character of Oden. This chapter and the massive flashback that preceded it, all hinged on Oden being someone I could care for as a reader. But, unfortunately...

    Chapter Discussion Did Chapter 970 ruin your opinion on Kaido?

    It still works with Kaidou. A nearly dead Kaidou lying on the ground and Momo standing above him ready to stab him now he's completely vulnerable, Kaidou taunts him for being weak, and Momo fails to kill him or something...Or he almost does but Luffy stops him and says "you're no murderer" or...

    Chapter Discussion Did Chapter 970 ruin your opinion on Kaido?

    Oda changed his portrayal definitely. Which isn't a deal-breaker in and of itself. Some like that Kaidou has more facets than just being a brutish monster. Or that he exhibits malice and cunning, instead of just being a suicidal depressed alcoholic. It does feel like Oda either retconned the...
