They had no idea why Luffy was there. It's not like Luffy's relation to Ace was public knowledge.

Your argument sound like you're faulting Magellan for not realising that Luffy is the main character and doing everything in his power to stop him early.

The bolded is irrelevant. Magellan swore that he would not allow Luffy to rescue Ace, nor would he allow him to step outside of Impel down. It doesn't matter what kind of relationship he has with Ace, he swore that he wouldn't let him get away for breaking inti impel down.

I'm not 100% on Stat's side here (he basically killed Luffy, and I don't have a problem with his actions regarding the way he dealt with him). He had no way of knowing that Luffy would be saved by Ivankov (who was presumed dead.)

I just thought it was odd that a man (who basically kills prisoners on a whim for insulting him) would let Mr. 2 live, considering it was because him Luffy managed to escape with his life.

It's quite possible that Blackbeard freed his new crew in time to interrupt Megallan from wrecking Bon Clay proper.

Err you mean Shillew right? I definitely agree this is probably the only possible answer here.

 

[Wiseblade]

What I'm saying is that Luffy was at that point the most important person to take out. Why would Magellan treat him like anyone else? That's the point. Luffy isn't like any other prisoner. HE IS A NOT A PRISONER. This is the man who is making a fool of your prison and doing unprecedented things. And to make things even worse, what he is trying to accomplish is even worse than an Impel Down break-in. He is trying to save the prisoner whose fate will decide an era.

They had no idea Luffy was there? IDK who "they" is. But at the point Magellan encountered Luffy, he knew who Luffy was and that he is the break-in, and that he's trying to save Ace. That's alll that matters.

And yes, I'm faulting Magellan for not realizing that one who has achieved the previously thought thing to be "impossible" should be killed immediately.

"They" referrs to the officers of Impel Down. I sure the wardens on monitor duty who first spot luffy say they have no idea why he's there and Magellan says something like "I have no idea why you're here, but you're not leaving alive" at the start of their fight.

And again, Luffy was nothing compared to the people being held in Level 6. Why would Magellan give half a minute worrying about some rookie (who is about to die anyway) when he deals with some of the worst pirates ever to set sail on a daily basis?

 

[Stat Flow]

The main point you guys are making is that Magellan isn't really at fault because he "basically"/"thought he"/"assumed he" killed Luffy or that Luffy was done.

What I'm saying is that at that point in time, assuming anything is stupid. Thinking that what worked in the past will work now is irrational. This is a unique situation. Assuming that because you've done to Luffy what you've done to everyone else will work is being foolish. Why? Because Luffy has already accomplished the impossible. Even if it wasn't of his own doing.

Luffy is more important than them because he's not locked down. He's a break in. Did any of those guys break in to Impel Down? Are any of those guys trying to save Ace (the most important of all Level 6ers)? Have any of those guys successfully broken out? Nah. So yeah, Luffy is of paramount importance.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Because a problem that is frankly greater than number 2 could come up (eg Level 6)?

Actually you could go the opposite direction of him being a fucking idiot and treated as such but you know Luffy made it work to their detriment.

Uh no, it's not foolish. Nobody can survive his poison without the antidote which Luffy had no way of getting.

The only flaw in what Magellan actions was that Luffy is the main character. Outside of that, Luffy was a dead man if he was anyone else.

 

[PK Gaming]

Yeah I amended that in my post, its the only way Mr. 2 is alive right now.

...Otherwise we're looking at Naruto/Bleach level asspull.

[flintstryker]

I am more surprise that people actually thought Bon Clay was dead.

 

[Stat Flow]

More assumptions. Foolish thinking (on Magellan's part). If he would have stopped assuming things (like how he assumed no one could break into Impel Down...which...happened) and just killed him...one of his biggest problems would be solved.

Assuming things are gonna go the way you plan when the exact opposite is happening right in front of your eyes is foolish. You must make certain of things with your own eyes. This is especially true of a head warden.

sigh

again, there is a reason why he didn't outright kill him.

And I don't see how assuming things is foolish. He poisoned with fatal poison that will kill a person in 24 hours and put him in level 5 prison. there are no assumptions about that

Hanashippanashi End

That was soooo good. I didn't really like this manga when I started reading it way back when it was first getting translated, but it eventually won me over big time. I didn't really get better or anything, it just clicked after a while. It's a very unique manga, the closest thing to it is probably Mushishi as it does the whole nature/fantasy thing in a very similar way, but the short stories in this manga aren't really stories. It's very hard to describe but basically it's artsy fartsy nonsensical hipster bullshit.

Of course the real reason to read this is because it's made by Daisuke Igarashi, the best manga artist in the history of the universe. I am now going spam images because as we established earlier in the thread this is the best form of communication.

And this is Daisuke Igarashi's ugliest manga.

I've only read Saru from him, but I have to agree that he's a great artist. I still need to start looking for more of his stuff.

I will say this again he does not kill anybody right away , he poison them and leaves them for dead.
Even after Magellan found out luffy was alive again all he did to BB the man that caught Ace and a warlord was poison him and leave him to die .
Steroyd is mostly likely talking about what happen off panel that the level 6 guys who were free mess him up or BB since he had already gotten the antidote.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Why? The indication was that Bon Clay died to save Luffy. At the very least that´s the impression that got when the phone call was cut.

And like I said, that's fine. But at least don't leave him in the hands of people that you know cannot be fully trusted to do the job right...as evidenced by the break-in itself. If you want him to suffer, take him with you. That way you certify that nothing will happen. Well, I'm just saying that would be the reasonable thing to do.

And assuming that Luffy could not be healed or saved just because it has never been done before (or seems impossible) is the problem. Just hours ago the dude thought that Impel Down couldn't be broken into because it was never done before. I'm sure that seemed impossible, but it happened. Kill the dude yourself, make sure that he's dead (DEAD DEAD) and you don't have this problem of there being a chance, no matter how small, that things can go wrong.

 

[PK Gaming]

Pell was a mediocre one off character who barely got any character development prior to his death.

Mr.2 was an important character who was predominantly featured throughout the plot of OP.

When Pell "died" I couldn't care less.
When Mr. 2 "died" I almost teared up.

Pell and Mr 2 were about even in terms of stuff they did before ID.

You're acting like the whole prison was falling apart at the time of their first encounter. The people Buggy and Mr 3 let out of their cages ran straight back into them after the guards showed up. and they themselves had been caught by Hannyabal by the time Luffy was poisoned.

Your would have needed Magellan to know/suspect that:

Ivankov was alive
Ivankov could cure his poison
Luffy could escape his cage
Luffy could find Ivankov

All of which were inconceivable. "But Luffy has a history of doing the impossible!", I hear you type. Except that Luffy's past antics are less than nothing compared to other people in the prison.

Sure killing Luffy when he had the chnce would have been the smart thing to do, but people don't behave that way in One Piece and Magellan shouldn't be failted for not doing that.

 

[Stat Flow]

lol the two things don't relate to each other

One was thought to be impossible. The other was thought to be impossible

It doesn't matter if they relate directly in their nature. What matters is that the notion of "impossible" or "can't happen" needs to go out the window. Anything is possible. As such, kill the fucker dead or deal with the consequences. He, like an idiot, didn't kill the fucker dead, or at least make sure with his own eyes that he would be killed.

I've definitely filled my OP discussion quota. Will read Naruto and Bleach later.

They should just make Pariston Hill from HxH the warden instead, he would've dealt with this due to the power of being extremely genre savvy, just like you.

You're out of your mind if you think the 2 are even in terms of plot relevance. Like really, full blown "i'm arguing for the sake or arguing" type deal. Go back and read through the entirety of OP again and tell me that with a straight face. EVEN IF YOU WERE RIGHT, Mr. 2's actions in impel down ALONE makes me care about him more than Pell (who is and will always be a one off character)

Doesn't matter what kinda of character development he got its fact he fucking survived such a situation.

Am I supposed to be impressed?!?

It's crazy, we have Pell who save luffy then save Vivi .
After that he look like he sacrifice him self to save everyone from a bomb he still lives and people thinking Bon was dead because it went off panel .

As i said before impel down there were about the same in terms of character development and Pell live threw something that was crazy as fuck .
Just because we spend more time with Bon does not increase his chances of dying off panel .

 

[Steroyd]

I am more surprise that people actually thought Bon Clay was dead.

The hilarious thing is, that after Whitebeard and Ace in the Marineford arc, everyone was fair game for a while.

I guess Pell needed to give a rousing speech before it happened.

to be honest i thought Oda would pull our leg with Ace at least (since WB is the old guard) but it actually went through.

If the obvious means the hiatus then i think that is stat's problem with it since he seems to be still salty about the latest one.

Hahahah how adorable, I didn't know Stat was tsundere.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

I guess Pell needed to give a rousing speech before it happened.

But Pell did give a speech and we even had a flashback also .
Seem no one cared

 

[Stat Flow]

Lol what? What's wrong with HxH? Except the obvious

The problem with HxH, this most recent hiatus too...

1) Does Togashi just not care enough to at least tell his fans what's up? What's going on? As people who are interested in his series, does he think at least they don't deserve to know what's happening? When they can expect a comeback?

2) Why did he start an arc with one chapter and then go on hiatus? At least just end the arc on the last chapter before a hiatus. Supreme kick in the teeth to fans.

3) The latest arc had a bullshit ending.

I didn't read the last chapter that came out...and I probably won't care enough to continue reading when it comes back. Until Kurapika vs Ryodan part 2 happens.

Brutal scene with Brownbeard getting shot multiple times point blank, kind of a cliffhanger chapter, I have a feeling the next chapter or so will progress a bit slower since everyone are split again.

Don't even try it. You're obviously trying to save Kubo-face by reading into something not there, or by twisting things to make sense for you.

As for PK, my assumption for Bon Clay surviving would be that Blackbeard stirred up trouble, and BC could have fled to the hideout. Who knows?

Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra was some plot armor bullshit too so don't even Stat. His hollow powers basically give him the edge to win some.

Nah. He's too awesome to die. It was always just a question of when he would reappear.

Yeah...uhm...considering the hack that was Izanagi, pretty sure Itachi is not dead if Izanami is even better. Nice try.

Itachi's a zombie. He'll just regrow his legs next panel. Him getting cut in half is completely pointless.

Bleach

Am I supposed to be excited by the appearance of some random Owl-monster that we've never seen before?

Could've been Grimm Jow or something.

That thing has appeared before in fake Karakura town. It tore out Matsumoto's stomach and beat Hisagi near to death until Yamamoto one shotted it.
