I said it in the OP: Apparently there is no fan translation of these missing chapters yet so the anime is the only way to get that part of the story but from I've read of the earlier chapters, the anime is better than the manga in almost every aspect so we're not exactly missing out. It's also...

Couldn't find a thread. Picked up the manga after that absolute treat of animation. During the show, the series already hinted at some intriguing world building in the background. Part 2 of the manga picks up right after the anime ends so it's ideal to start there (Chapter 156) if you have seen...

Sure, the the story with protag with one of the worst imaginable life stories is about wish fulfillment. Everyone wishes they had a pleasant life like Guts. :smart:

Probably a result of holding back too much info for too long. If you keep saying "this dude is the best I swear" but never have anything to show then people stop believing. Sabo as mentioned ITT has had some public action whereas Dragon never really did much but save his son with a weather...

This is what happened though and that's why I really dislike how Oda handled him as a character. I rooted for Kidd but seeing that he ended up as just a proof of Shank's power is lame. As I said; I'd like for him to come back but I'm currently not convinced he will get something as big as his...

He imagined him to become important. This is in context of him creating him before Sabaody. The wording is crucial here. We know that audience feedback has influence on the story of OP, proven by Law sticking around for so long. So in this context of new characters that don't have roots in the...

Why wouldn't I be able to understand? And why would my interpretation be a reason to leave the thread? All I'm doing is taking Oda's words at face value and putting those into context with what happened in the story to Kidd. If my interpretation of Oda's words is somehow deeply flawed then tell...

Ok! You can believe that, I remain sceptical.

I'm not telling you anything. You are free to believe what you want, I'm just saying that I personally don't get overly invested in chracters the author himself calls expendable that are past their due date essentially. "The three billion bounty Pirate, Eustass Captain Kid and his Kid pirates...

Why not? Oda was pretty clear about it. These characters are basically on life support provided by the audience. Oda even says that he himself is surprised that they're even still around at the point of the SBS/interview. So we should consider ourselves lucky that we still have them around. You...

Where do you get this from? (https://comicbook.com/anime/news/one-piece-anime-trafalgar-law-new-details/) This means that when Oda created them, that he merely expected kid to become important but he was made exactly like the rest with no special backstory over the others.

I think Ace's death wasn't bwell written and its importance was only retroactively inflated by the flashback arc. Up until his death, Ace was very much a background character with barely any appearances to the reader. The exact nature of his and Lufy's relationship was mostly unknown. To me it...

Kidd just being reduced to a tool to demonstrate Shank's strength really felt bad, especially after the fight against big mom. But as I already mentioned; Law's special place in the story is entirely based on the popularity polls. I personally don't like such polls directly affecting the story...

this is exactly why I came here

I agree with this one. During Whole Cake Island where we explored Sanji's backstory he had moments of development and had to come to terms with his heritage. His view on women also was tested with Pudding's betrayal. Zoro is kind of lacking such an arc. That being said, development for the sake...

Actual read time probably only a few weeks but real time more like 2 years. I read in bursts of 100-200 chapters until I was saturated with OP for a while and then after a month or two break returned for the next burst. Some diaIogues I definitely skimmed through when it didn't feel important...

Hello I was looking for place to talk OP. I binged the whole thing and just recently lost the luxury of being able to continue reading whenever I felt like it since now I have to wait for new chapters like everyone else. I missed a few things as I sped through the chapters a lot (since there...

Didn't Oda admit to coming up with basically the entire worst gen on the fly while drawing Sabaody? None of them were meant to become any big players and Law only did because he kept performing extremely well at the popularity polls (also confirmed by Oda). So while I like Kidd's design and his...
