The tension dropped down in this chapter. I guess that Oda will try to rise it up before Loki and Luffy arrive.
Dont know how to feel about that with the antagonists messing things up. The dream demons all over the place and not doing a great job as an army, Summers might really put the blame...
King didnt take the full brunt of the Ul Tora gari. He won the clash with his Tankyudon attack but during the clash, part of the shock destroyed the top of his mask. There was haki's spark so he mostlikely used haki on his wing.
Too bad, we didnt see the hybrid form again at the end. He would...
I get that, but the motion blur matching the color of the clothes could do the trick as well. Pretty sure that aura is not the only way to show super speed in anime. The previous encounters didnt have the "aura" and there was some great speed.
Maybe it costs less to animate it that way.
The fight was great. They could have animated the speed without the "aura" like they did before but it's not that bad. Still entertaining.
Like the slowmo spark after the clash.
And it is rare to see Zoro doing a lot of thrust attack, it was like Ryuma with Brook's shadown. Really cool.
The...
As other said, it is not his style and not everyone is using it. Whitebeard, Mihawk, Rayleigh, Gaban...didnt use it.
If he can increase his maai/range, he wouldnt need it. And somehow he can maneuver himself in mid-air to blitz. It will probably stay that way.
This chapter is great. The set-up might appear long for those who wait week by week but a reread might not be that bad.
The God valley could have been a spin-off itself with more details. Dont think we will see full fights, it is still a flashback. We might see clashes and the conclusions like...
Seems like many things have happened.
Congratulations to the change and with all respects for Guan Yu who created the the club.
May the future days be blessed with entertainments and prosperity.:BigW:
Zoro used 2 different attacks against Pica.
Ichidai sanzen daisen sekai (the upgrade version) to cut the golem in half and Ichidai sanzen sekai (the original version) to finish Pica.
Zoro can parry and attack the things in the way before delivering the main attack. Just like the first time we...
This is One Piece we're talking about and his dream is not like "king of the world". It is more like the "Pirate king" that Luffy wants to be, there's no stopping it, I think.
The reason Zoro didnt leave the village sooner is because he couldnt beat Kuina. Every setback is like a fuel to...
On the topic about speed:
There is a difference between quick and fast.
If it was racing, Nusjuro who had a build of a horse can gather momentum and reach his maximum speed and keep it for a long distance. Being quick is being fast in a short distance or short period.
Reaction speed, reflex...
Someone being fast by nature or by training is not forbidden from using his speed in his swordmanship.
Being a speed machine (Body only) isnt swordmanship but using that speed to execute the art of swordmanship makes it a part of it. Swordmanship is a mixture.
Seems that you didnt read what I wrote at all. Physical skill is a part of swordmanship. Kuina didnt complain about her body just for the lol. Did you skip that part in the manga?
Swordmanship is a discipline, it is a mixture and physical skill just like mental skill are part of it. I gave the...
Physical skill is 1 of the core of swordmanship. Irl, swordmanship encompasses Physical skill (Body), Mental skill (Mind) and Techniques (sword handling...).
Footwork is part of swordmanship using the feet to move and not the sword.
Mastering the distance, timing, reflex and speed....
Often...
When it comes to fights, Oda can make Zoro says things like this while analyzing his opponent:
Making you wondering where did he learn those terms, did his dojo teach those? Oda can make him being observant, alert and sometimes being the complete opposite.
His 360/720 pound hou are not on this level yet. But the last time Zoro used 360 pound hou, it was shaped like a mini ikkoku.
And to be fair, we havent seen Zoro used a full power pound hou, his 1080 pound hou or the new one should be far stronger right now.
The 2 direct subordinates of Imu are Killingham and Summers. Not really excluding the other option but facing the direct subordinates is what usually happens.
Not an expert in guns, it seems that it is a giant version of a Double-barrel Flintlock pistol and the attack with it was brutal.
Reversi...so is Nika supposed to be the other player? Or is Gunko gonna be back somehow and reverse the game?
This
It will be an easy miss if the joke didnt happen but we have also seen that Gunko expressed her fear of Nika. Not that Zoro facing her is impossible just not guarenteed.
