Wonder what the thing with Momonosuke/Kinemon and the food was. It might just be Momonosuke not having eaten when Caesar was supplying food or maybe it has something to do with the conditions on their home island. A blockade or famine caused by Kaido/Big Mom?

Yeah I was thinking about that as well when I read the superior translation. I'm wondering if accepting outside help is taboo in Wano and by taking the food of strangers/pirates that'll get Kine and Momo banished or something.
So far I thought it was a case of Kinemon and Momosuke or the samurai in general having too much pride to accept help from someone else, food included. But maybe there's more behind it.

I like this version since it would explain Momosuke's actions where he didn't accept the kids/adults food but yet he succumbed and eat the artificial df that was just sitting there.
But as said there could be more behind it.
Sanji even notes there's more to Kinemon's crying than the food being really good. It's very likely that there's a big conflict at Wano Country.

Nice move. I wonder what will be the next cock block.

Is there any reason for us to think Wano isn't going to be the next story arc?

It's supposed to be very isolated so unless Kaidou is causing trouble there it would be a detour. Law clearly has a plan, he's probably going to decide where to go next.
I bet the cousin will show up.
Yeah, I just read a new chapter of Flowers in Chinese.
It's nice to revisit that world, and the story seems fun OK so far, but I haven't liked the mangaka's art style for years. At the beginning of Shaman King it was more traditional and discernable, but as he progressed (including Jumbor and Ultimo), he started drawing a lot of mechas and thin triangular shapes that's hard to see... He's continuing that trend in Flowers and I'm not a fan.

Dat Silver Spoon.
And HxH hit over a million before Naruto did (though the difference is like a little over 6000 units).
Continues to show why Togashi hardly gives a fuck imo.

Naruto
The first couple pages could have been skipped, but overall I thought it was a decent chapter.
Wonder if we'll keep getting one or two panels of Sasuke & company or if will ever actually switch to them?
Bleach
That seemed like the hardest fight in Bleach to follow. I think it was because it actually showed them moving and not just appearing behind each other and slashing.
One Piece
Luffy not giving a shit is always great. Looks like we got a glimpse of the depths of Law's power. He can go so far as to remove chemicals from the body but I guess it takes a lot of concentration.
Hilarious. First time I've listened to one, guess I should have been listening to them all along.

Interesting to see that the top 3 are from female mangakas. Didn't know a bride's story was that popular.
HxH reaching a million before Naruto = lulz.
Togashi probably delayed his comeback another couple months after seeing that.
HA HA HALOL Stat with dat Bleach bias
seriously though that was alright (long intro was too fucking long though)

New listener, thanks breh
oh and to all you other lames too <3

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I'm completely baffled by this response.
The World God Only Knows vol 10
Feminine Keima was great to watch during the Yui arc, though the best part was the end of it, with the new Yui. She has so much swag it isn't even funny AND she dresses a bit like Keima too now.
The new arc is interesting for the presence of an older woman to conquer. It's also fun for all the abuse Keima is getting in it.
It's amazing that he can still manage to still look like his usual handsome bespectacled self.
I wonder who was the person that trapped the fleeing Kaketama during the Yui arc.

Almost done taking in the whole of Yume no Kaseki - Kon Satoshi Zentanpen but I don't feel like writing down something about it just yet. Still though, I wanted to share this beautiful image (crappily scanned by me):

You're gonna like future volumes. Unfortunately the Hinoki arc is almost universally considered the worst.

Been a while since we saw a fight.
Here's hoping the chefs actually do something instead of getting one-shotted.

Promising start to the fight, but I'm still disappointed about how the cooking competition wrapped up.
Surprised to see Zaus downed so fast though.

Unless Law's plan involves them meeting back up in x months/weeks.
Of course with Momo's hunger-induced nightmare about Doflamingo and the fact that Doflamingo is currently heading to the island, whatever is up is probably going to come to a head sooner than later.
I'm sure Law won't be the decider on where they go next because he's already trapped in going at the Strawhat's pace of things.
I laughed at that part too. But it's ptt, he keeps that shit raw.

Kind of a sad chapter as the feelings are just so one sided (how could anyone turn that confession down) and after the scene he ran away to get from him. I assume the next chapter is the last so to tie the loose ends with the inheritance as well as getting them together will take quite a many number of pages, though I have faith it can be resolved how I want it at least.

Get Inside Her!
Bleach
I'm just now realizing that Unohana actually really did put that sword through Ken's neck, and totally killed him. The blood it splattered on her face is still there after he "wakes up." She killed him, and he came back to life. I mean it's pretty much what she says at the end there, but I had only half-noticed that blood splatter earlier, and never really thought much about it.
[Edit] And with Unohana blaming "her sin," maybe the shtick is that because of her crazy evil shit in the past, she had some sort of contract placed upon her where it's impossible for her to kill someone. Which is why she hasn't ever fought during the series. And this ability works perfectly with Ken, since "near death" boosts his strength. HMMMM!!!!

My boy Tommyrod is back in action. Can't wait to see him fight Sani.

If she was unable to kill anyone for some reason, that would at least explain out why she stood around the whole time during the rest of the series.
When I finish Eyeshield 21, I'm thinking of trying to power through 1 of the big 3. The furthest along in any of them was Naruto, where I was up to the Time Skip. I have never read a single chapter of One Piece, and I watched the Bleach anime up till the end of the Soul Society arc. Which one of these mammoth undertakings should I take?
I think you're pretty much good for Bleach.
Seriously though, tackle both. One arc for one, and another for the other.

Destroy this bitch!
I can see him getting laid and the girl becoming obsessed with him and interfering in the rest of his... What am I talking about? This is Aunt Tits, of course he won't get laid.

Well he's absolutely right, there's no justification you can really make up, especially since Unohana was involved in various ways in the past few arcs with the exception of actually fighting, which is apparently her specialty according to the past few chapters.
This is what I thought might be the reason behind it. But due to the shitty translation I couldn't really tell.
It would explain why they don't have her as a fighter, like you say.
In the end, however, it's really not going to accomplish much. Unohana was never really an interesting character, just has a fanbase cause she's an attractive female. This was an interesting twist, but I highly doubt it'll amount to anything that wouldn't have been there already if this story hadn't been told.
