Yuck, honestly this is worse than any of the other downplay, especially considering that the dude's pumping iron all day every day.

Most factual post here, maybe on the entire forum.

My vote will stay on “yes” in perpetuity, even after the manga ends.

Togashi’s writing on the whole is undoubtedly superior to Oda’s, but when you’ve had 26 goddamn years to write a story barely covering 400 chapters, I’d expect the quality per chapter to be high. I also think if we’re being honest, the chimera ant arc is both an outlier and bordering on...

Never fear Zoro fans, I'm sure his moment to transform into Nika is coming soon.

At a bare minimum he was complicit, most likely marines under his command partook in it. He was shown to be fully supportive of what the Gorosei wanted at Ohara.

Manga canon states directly the opposite, like it or not. Sakazuki is a significantly more principled person than sengoku, both physically and mentally stronger. Sengoku did what he was told, Sakazuki follows his own moral compass, and doesn’t hesitate to chew out his superiors. Couldn’t...

Realistically, the main reason, being charitable to Oda, for this speech, is to explicitly deliver details to more casual readers (and secondly, the characters in-verse). When this sort of dialogue appeared pre-ts (like when the full story of Ohara was revealed), it would tie all the hints...

He’s not blueballing entirely willingly, at this point I’m convinced Oda just doesn’t know where the story is going, and these are all stall tactics. That’s because it was meant to do the opposite of most literary devices; inform the characters in the story of what we, the readers, already...

He took the “fun” way too far. Crocodile, lucci and Doflamingo weren’t goofballs. Big mom’s background and motivations weren’t goofy, fundamentally she was a cunning, ruthless dictator who got dumbed down temporarily to allow the main character to progress in the story. The goofy moments were...

It's raw and maybe it's premature, but I'm underwhelmed by Vegapunk to the point of being salty. He was supposed to be the genius grand line scientist who could do all these amazing things with devil fruits, feed them to objects, extract their powers from one user (kizaru) and give them to...

If this is really it for the broadcast… it began in 1108, 9 chapters ago or 4 months ago. And really the only thing we learned was “the world will sink”, the rest was just restating the obvious with dozens of panels of shocked faces. prime example of very poor pacing. Pre-ts, Oda wouldn’t have...

I don’t get why all you swordbros can’t just get along.

Yeah, I think he knows of a vague history that is very biased towards the world government. Him and Sengoku probably have a surface level knowledge of the will of d, but mostly view it as evil/dangerous. He's probably also comfortable with the fact that the world government had to do unsavory...

What’s your stance then? How much do you think Akainu knows, especially in relation to Garp & sengoku? And what do you think he means in this latest bit of dialogue?

Ready for this to age poorly. The higher the rank in general, the more they know. Akainu is privy to a lot more information than your typical marine, even just due to the circumstances of his job. He interacts with Gorosei and cd’s on a daily basis. He knows they’re up to all sorts of shady...

I hate how likely this sounds.
