Fuck you

 

[Celestial D. Dragon]

Does anyone have any predictions for when the rest of the spoilers will come out?

This one is hard to predict due to the abnormal release schedule of the Jump Holiday. It's pretty much up to the spoiler providers whim at this point.

I'm really curious to see the act structure from this point forward.

This act has to end really soon before everyone gets their proper matchups because I can't see the act ending here if Oda decides to go deep with the fights. If he does, then the only way I can see the act ending is if the alliance suffers a temporary setback.

It could also be that this arc is just supposed to have 3 acts and that Oda will extend these fights without any intermissions in between.

could be the final act

could be the final act

I doubt it. We were supposed to get Sabo/Vivi/Hancock updates this year, so unless all 3 miraculously show up at wano for no apparent reason, its meant to be a mid act update. We are only behind like 5 chapters this year so its going to end soon.

Not to mention, 994 said the act was ending soon

dude where is my grandmaster pic

Are you sure Vivi Sabo Hancock stuff was supposed to be this year?

 

[Uncle Van]

I'm pretty sure this is the standard "Luffy comeback" spot where Luffy builds momentum only for it to get shut down and the situation grows dire. The End of Act 3 seems to be drawing close.

 

[Embers Kaios]

Because they're friends? He has never needed a reason to do what he does beyond that.

But he also pointed out Sanji’s strength (he’s worth 1000 men) and pointed out how without Sanji, he couldn’t become pirate king. It’s cool to clown a character but don’t pretend like Sanji is Sakura’s level of uselessness and isn’t one of the main reasons the Strawhat crew still exists till this day....

 

[Paperchampion23]

Are you sure Vivi Sabo Hancock stuff was supposed to be this year?

When Oda announces stuff at Jump Festa, its supposed to be for the following year. Aka that was a 2019 announcement for 2020 content. Yes, Oda always extends his timeline ("year of Sanji", Wano in 2017, etc), but it was SUPPOSED to happen this year. Covid even delayed that more

Shanks making moves is supposed to be a 2021 event, whatever that is, but im sure it'll just happen in 2022 lol

 

[Ice devil slayer]

Redon summary where are you at ?

Feels like it tbh. It's the:

- Crocodile round 2
- Enel round 1 before the gold ball
- Moria before he escaped luffy to join oars
--Doflamingo when he threw luffy down the floor with Bellamy


Type thing where Kaido probably will set luffy back at some point during this second fight, before the last mano y mano type fight

 

[Bounty]

I can see us getting a double page spread like this before the 3rd act ends-

Spoiler: Kingdom spoilers

 

[Embers Kaios]

I can see us getting a panel like this before this act ends-

Spoiler: Kingdom spoilers

Sorry this may be a bit off topic but the guy and girl beneath “Eliminate their opponents” in the middle. Are they twins or related by any chance?

 

[MonsterZoro]

Out

Yep exactly. Oda also said Luffy will beat Kaido so BM, Zoro, Kidd, Law and Killer will have to leave somehow.

Honestly I think Zoro will inflict upon Kaido a wound so bad that it will take time for him to recover from it. It gives Luffy a big target to go for. It works symbolically on many levels.

Nice

So King is talking someone

 

[BangOO🍅]

real

Here are some ideas for those who try to figure out Kaido's DF :

- Tatsu :

Translation: dragon
Alternate names: ryū, ryō, wani; known by many specific individual names
Habitat: rivers, waterfalls, mountains, lakes, seas, and palaces deep in the ocean
Diet: capable of eating anything

Appearance: Tatsu, Japanese dragons, are similar in appearance to the dragons of China and the rest of the world. They have long, scaled bodies, serpentine tails, sharp teeth and claws, and often have horns, antlers, spines, and beards. Some tatsu have multiple limbs or heads. Many disguise themselves as humans and are never seen in their natural forms.

Behavior: Tatsu are strongly connected to water—be it rain, rivers, seas, or oceans—and are considered to be water gods. They live in splendid palaces at the bottom of deep seas, or in other secluded places. They usually live far from human-inhabited areas, but occasionally make their homes near Buddhist temples. Like Western dragons, they hoard vast amounts of treasure and keep powerful magical artifacts in their homes. Many are great villains, tormenting mankind out of spite, while others are pure and kind, offering their wisdom and power to those seeking it. Some tatsu even allow worthy heroes to visit them, and lend their magical items to noble warriors.

Interactions: Tatsu rarely concern themselves with human affairs unless it affects them directly. They accept worship and sacrifices from humans; many temples maintain the holy grounds of local dragons, and countless Japanese make pilgrimages to holy mountains inhabited by tatsu. Tatsu receive prayers for rain or for protection from floods, and other water-related requests. Fireworks festivals, ritual dragon dances, and other local celebrations honor these dragon gods all over the Japanese islands.

Origin: Tatsu are one of the oldest supernatural creatures known in Japan. The first recorded stories go back to the earliest written accounts of Japanese history and mythology, the Kojiki and the Nihongi. Over the centuries, tales of the Chinese long and Indian naga were incorporated into Japanese mythology. Today’s Japanese dragons are an amalgamation of these imported myths merged with the indigenous water deities of prehistoric Japan.

Legends: The Japanese imperial family, the oldest hereditary monarchy in the world, is supposedly descended from dragons (as well as other gods). The monarchy is said to have been founded in 660 BCE by Emperor Jimmu, the legendary first ruler of Japan. His father was the son of Toyotama hime, who in turn was the daughter of Ryūjin, the dragon god of the sea. So by tradition the emperor of Japan is the direct descendant of a dragon.

- Wani :

Translation: none; this is the creature’s name
Habitat: oceans, seas, and lakes
Diet: omnivorous

Appearance: Wani are sea monsters that live in deep bodies of water. They have long, serpentine bodies, fins, and can breathe both air and water. Wani are able to shapeshift into humans, and there are even tales of wani and humans falling in love.

Behavior: Wani are the rulers of the oceans and gods of the sea. They live in splendid coral palaces deep on the ocean floor. Wani have a complex political hierarchy which mirrors that of the surface world. There are kings and queens, princes and princess, courtesans, servants, and so on. Ōwatatsumi, also known as Ryūjin, is the greatest of them. He rules the sea from his palace Ryūgū-jō. He controls the ebb and flow of the ocean using the tide jewels kanju and manju.

Origin: Wani appear in the earliest written records of Japanese myths, the Kojiki and Nihon shoki. Their stories almost certainly date back even further, into the mists of prehistory. Scholars disagree over whether the earliest legends of wani originated in Japan or were imported from other cultures, citing similarities between wani and the Chinese long or the Indian naga. Wani play an important role in Japanese mythology, including in the mythological founding of Japan.

The word wani first appears in the Kojiki written with man’yōgana (an archaic phonetic syllabary). Later it came to be written with the kanji 鰐. Wani came to refer to sharks and other “sea monsters” that sailors and fishermen might encounter out at sea. The sea was a dangerous and mysterious place, and sailors may have thought that sharks were the powerful serpents of legends. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include to crocodiles as well as sharks, and then shifted to refer only to crocodiles. Today both the kanji and the name wani mean “crocodile” and are rarely used to refer to sea dragons.

Legends: One of the most famous wani legends is the story of Toyotama hime, the daughter of Ōwatatsumi. She married a surface dweller named Hoori. Hoori and his brother Hoderi were grandchildren of Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun. One day Hoori borrowed and lost Hoderi’s fish hook. Hoderi insisted that Hoori find and return the lost hook, so Hoori went into the ocean to look for it. He was unable to find the hook, but instead he discovered the palace where the dragon king of the sea, Ōwatatsumi, lived. Hoori visited the palace and asked Ōwatatsumi for help finding the hook. With the dragon god’s help, Hoori found the hook, but in the meantime, Hoori had fallen in love with Toyotama hime, the daughter of the dragon god.

Hoori and Toyotama hime were married, and they lived together at the bottom of the sea for three years. Eventually, Hoori became homesick and longed to see country again. Together, he and his wife returned to the surface world with Hoderi’s lost hook. While on land, Toyotami hime gave birth to a son. When she went into labor, she asked Hoori not to look upon her, because she had to change into her true form in order to bear her child. Hoori became curious and sneaked a peak at his wife while she gave birth. He was shocked to see, instead of his wife, a huge wani cradling their newborn son. The wani was, of course, Toyotama hime in her true form. Toyotama hime was unable to forgive his betrayal, and was so ashamed that she fled back into the ocean and never saw Hoori or her son again.

Although Toyotama hime abandoned her son, her sister Tamayori came to raise him in her absence. The boy, Ugayafukiaezu, grew up to marry Tamayori, and together they had a son. Their son was Jimmu, the first emperor of Japan.

- Ryujin :

Ryūjin, which in some traditions is equivalent to Ōwatatsumi, was the tulelary deity of the sea in Japanese mythology. In many versions Ryūjin had the ability to transform into a human shape. Many believed the god had knowledge on medicine and many considered him as the bringer of rain and thunder, Ryujin is also the patron god (ujigami) of several family groups.

This Japanese dragon, who symbolized the power of the ocean, had a large mouth. He is considered a good god and patron of Japan, since the Japanese population has for several centuries lived off the sea and seafood. Ryūjin is also credited with the challenge of a hurricane which sank the Mongolian flotilla sent by Kublai Khan. Ryūjin lived in Ryūgū-jō, his palace under the sea built out of red and white coral, from where he controlled the tides with magical tide jewels. Sea turtles, fish, jellyfish, snakes and other sea creatures are often seen as Ryūjin's servants.
