    Powers & Abilities Dragon's hypetool has to be at least 2 top tiers because he's absurdly broken

    Depends on how easily he beats them. If our only introduction to Shanks was wifi-diffing Greenbull, I doubt anyone would be questioning whether he's yonko level or not. No reason to hold Dragon to a different standard. If we're talking about living up to his story hype and importance, that...

    General & Others Top 5 female characters in shonen

    I know some of these are from games, but it's close enough since the game's story is basically shounen. 1. Mirajane (Fairy Tail) - I always really liked her from her introduction, but when she got her demon powers back and whooped Fried I completely fell in love. I have never been able to find...

    Questions & Mysteries Which Elders do you think are the most loyal to Imu?

    This chapter has given a bit more credibility to the theory that the gorosei are simply extensions of Im in the same way the paths of pain were to Nagato. Not on the same level obviously because they aren't dead, but it seems highly likely that Im has a great deal of control over their bodies...

    Controversial Pro Abortionists: A Hypothetical

    I am asking this out of sheer curiosity and it has nothing to do with my opinions on abortion. You say that it's her body and her choice. You also believe that she should be able to kill whatever is inside her (baby for pro life, foetus for pro abortion) right up until whatever your cutoff...

    What kind of mind do you have?

    I usually take 2 tests when it comes to these. The first, where I'm completely honest, and a second, so I can script a result and post the fake one to put me in a positive light. In this case, aint no way I'm doing 29 questions again so here you go: Honestly, this is probably about right...

    Character Discussion Shanks already wifi diffed Kaido 2 years ago.

    The fact that someone backed out of a fight is not the same as what Shanks did to Greenbull. Rayleigh made Blackbeard back away, despite knowing Blackbeard was superior, Whitebeard ran away from fodder marines and also declined going after Kaido because he was scared of losing his crew. Kaido...

    Speculations The Entire Reason Why 3 Admirals Exist is Because 1 Alone Can't Fight an Emperor

    That quote is taken from Stephen Paul's translation of pre skip. So yes it was stated and very clearly. Here, knock yourself out: https://web.archive.org/web/20100312095805/http://www.mangascreener.com/stephen/onepiece/onepiece.html

    Speculations The Entire Reason Why 3 Admirals Exist is Because 1 Alone Can't Fight an Emperor

    Mihawk actually stated that the Marines were equal in power to the 7 Warlords, never mind a whole emperor crew

    Questions & Mysteries A random dude simply figured out what is the one piece

    He says his Navy job calls it this, but how does this translate to Japanese navy or ships? I know Oda is in love with western comics/shows but that doesn't mean he would know some obscure English terminology at the beginning of his career. Also, I just had a quick browse for Navy/Nautical terms...

    Character Discussion Jinbei is the best straw hat

    The worst Straw Hat by a million miles. He is a new world veteran, he has no business on a fresh crew. It's like kids playing basketball with a retired pro. His position is also pointless, the Straw Hats have been able to navigate the worst sea conditions without him already. The only thing...

    Controversial Telegram Founder is Captured

    I don't like it. I understand the problems that it creates in regards to organised criminal activity, but to me that's an acceptable trade off for having the freedom to communicate in private. I think my generation was pretty much the first to start living online. It used to be the only place...

    Questions & Mysteries Is "Sanji will beat Admiral Agenda" is over?

    No why would it? After that shameful performance by Kizaru, it's become more likely than ever before. Arc introduced at least 5 people stronger than the admirals, plus Im and Garland. Not to mention Sanji has at least 2 arcs to get stronger (which he usually does). There are also at least 2...

    General & Others Warlords and Admirals are easily the two best groups in One Piece

    Don't insult the Warlords. Admirals do not even belong in the same breath as them. The Warlords have been and will continue to be the absolute best written One Piece characters. They hold more significance in the story than the vast majority of the Straw Hat crew. If it weren't for the...

    General & Others Has there been an arc that you liked at first. But over time you started to dislike?

    Most of post-skip to be fair. A particular offender for me though was Dressrosa. That arc introduced several of my favourite characters in the manga, and even though it was an Alabasta rehash, it was still fine by me because it's a classic story. But by the end I was practically begging for it...

    Do you finish games or swap between them when you feel like it?

    I have what the armchair psychologists call 'new toy syndrome', if I pick up another game whilst I'm already playing one I end up losing interest in it and by the time I come back to it it's been too long and I'll have to start from the beginning.

    Current Events Egghead's Timeline

    Useful information actually. I'm just glad it's over; the arc itself wasn't bad but it was really dragging towards the end and I was losing interest. I feel like I've been reading the exact same chapter for 2 months now.

    Controversial Delete this thread

    I think I remember Zoro saying something about this once ''even if God exists, I still would not kneel before him'' I take a pretty similar stance to this when it comes to religion. The existence of a God is way less interesting to me than the hypothetical of if he absolutely did exist. The...

    Controversial The hijacking of western entertainment made for men

    I always check the dates now whenever I come across a new series I want to watch. If it's made after 2016, I go in very sceptical and that's if I even give it a chance at all. Sometimes I'll even look up the director to see what his track record is with political pandering. Even if I agree with...

    Questions & Mysteries Did Luffy(yonko) defeat Kizaru (admiral convoy) ?(according to one piece citizens)

    From their perspective they saw all 5 Gorosei (or at least knew they were there), an admiral, a fleet and CP0 all try to stop the broadcast and to take down Luffy and his crew. They failed in almost everything aside from killing Vegapunk, Kizaru got slapped about TWICE, and the Gorosei mostly...
