    Spoiler One Piece Chapter 981 Spoilers Discussion

    Nice. Finally something decent to comment on. Even if we get a break after this, there is enough meat in this chapter to last till the next. Marco back was obvious. Especially since Oda floated the idea and had the only condition being he needed to stave off Weevil. Now Weevil is otherwise...

    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...

    Spoiler One Piece Chapter 977 Spoilers Discussion

    Aww man Finally spoilers worth commenting on. Early on before Wano even started I entertained the notion of Kaidou having offspring of some sort, but once the arc started and the longer it went on that possibility seemed to diminish because it felt like adding an unnecessary layer to what...

    Spoiler One Piece Chapter 976 Spoilers Discussion

    It isn't necessarily Oda though. It's WSJ that assigns editors. The likely reason why they keep changing his editors every few years and why they're often younger than him by at least 10 years or more (usually), is because it's a form of internship for these young up and coming editors. Working...

    The baiting Room

    Even though there's little chance of Oda confirming it, he does like to give the impression that in some alt-fiction universe, Kaidou and Big Mom really did bone and have a family.

    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...

    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...

    Spoiler One Piece Chapter 971 Spoilers Discussion

    It was more his '15 year old self'. Sadly cannot recall where the interview is, probably in some forum where threads collecting Oda quotes may reside. Be that as it may, I seriously doubt any 15 year old, much less Oda at that age, was hyped about reading a bunch of off-panelled fights and...
