    Character Discussion Blackbeard will be the best antagonist ever in One Piece

    I just realized, but all antagonists I can remember that Luffy had faced oppose his philosophy. Luffy is all about freedom, and his antagonists, past and future, are all diametrically opposed to that value. Be it Sawnose, Sandman, Flamingo, name it, all the way until Imu, they all represent...

    Powers & Abilities Ki, Haki and Anima Mundi

    Ki and Haki became well-known through Japanese anime, but what is less known is that multiple western philosophies have similar concepts. Haki is basically spiritual energy, spiritual power - and we see that it can cancel out essentially magical abilities of Devil Fruits. Ki / Qi is basically...

    Versus Battle Strongest My Hero Academia character Allen Walker can defeat

    Just as it says: who is the strongest character in My Hero Academia that current Allen Walker from D.Gray Man can defeat? Assume that Allen's Innocence acts like normal - e.g. Sword of Exorcism can intercept elemental attacks but will not harm human beings, while other Crown Clown's abilities...

    General & Others One Piece Inspirations Discussion

    I just was rereading the Chapter 808, when I realized that Three Calamities exist in Buddhism. Specifically, there are three calamities and seven disasters, which are catastrophes described in various sutras: https://www.nichirenlibrary.org/en/dic/Content/T/106 This is what I managed to find...

    Theory How powerful would generalist air quirk be?

    I am not talking here about air cannon etc., but an elemental air control quirk similar to how e.g. Endeavor has fire quirk and Todoroki has ice and fire quirks which can then be fine-tuned with experience for particular applications. So basically a quirk capable of controlling air would be able...

    Theory Final war will split the Navy

    ...into three parts, similar to how there were three OG admirals. One part will continue blindly following the World Nobles' orders (much like Kizaru is); another part - led by Akainu - will go rogue in an attempt to wipe out all the pirates and possibly World Nobles as well; while the last part...

    Character Discussion Luffy's Model Is Whitebeard

    Now, I don't think there will be "Next Roger", "Next Whitebeard" or "Next Garp". Certainly, people will be there "carrying their wills" - I believe Coby is Garp's successor in that regard, BTW - but their narrative roles will be different. Roger nor Whitebeard ever challenged the World...

    Which Pokemon would each character be?

    So I'm thinking... Three OG admirals would be three legendary Pokemon from Pokemon: The Movie. Akainu would be Moltres, Aokiji as Articuno and Kizaru Zapdos. So far so easy. Whitebeard I think may be Kyogre, seeing how both can basically drown the world on a whim.

    Questions & Mysteries Color spectrum of Justice

    Now, what we know about admirals so far is: Akainu has absolute justice. He has his ideals, and he wants to impose them on the world - by force if necessary. He wants to destroy all the pirates, and may be willing to even go against the Gorosei if they contradict his idea of justice. His...

    Character Discussion Garp and Kuzan's Justice

    So Kuzan has his Lazy Justice. But what about Garp? As I see it, Garp's justice is likely similar to Kuzan's. In fact, Kuzan's Lazy Justice is likely a variant of Garp's ideals. Look at what manga tells us: I've decided to live life on my own terms. And who else does that? Literally every...

    Character Discussion How interested Mihawk is in Luffy?

    I just noticed that in Marineford, Mihawk commented that there is "never a dull moment" with Luffy: "Never a dull moment with you... Straw Hat" rather implies that he may have been keeping an eye on Luffy as well. And apparently he visited Shanks specifically to discuss Luffy: So do you...

    Powers & Abilities Gorosei Devil Fruits

    Looking at this panel: What do you think Gorosei devil fruits are? To me, it looks like horned form up there may be a minotaur. Another is a form of a bird, likely another Mythical Zoan similar to Marco's Phoenix, but "darker". And in the far right, could that be a warthog (Mythical Zoan...

    Hello!

    Aldarion here. I'm fan of fantasy manga as well as combat manga, and especially combat fantasy manga. While it is not the first manga I have read, One Piece along with D.Gray Man is what made me fall in love with manga in general. D.Gray Man is my favorite, but One Piece is a close second. I...
