That would be kind of a pain. Having a puppet like that would be pushing it even for OP in my opinion. Logia would be simpler and less of an ass pull for me at least

He still could be a Paramecia we already saw some of them that can break apart and come back together .

Since Gai's final move is called "Night Moth" I'm assuming he's going to completely evaporate after this attack by the heat the gate of death induces. Goddammit, I know they had to show the 8 gates at some point, but he's my favourite character, I am cry.

All that drama! All that Sabo! All that hype! All that adrenaline! Hehehehe. Now I'm happy. This was so good. That Usopp. I'm really happy. Whew!
If Doflamingo's still alive by his own power, then Buggy should sue whoever made the different Devil Fruits. Also that would be hilariously similar to Life Fibers, hahaha. You gotta cut him from both directions to sever his head for real!
If it's Law, well, we still have Law's entire sub-plot as a mystery right now, so this would be a good time to get on that. One more reason to think this saga's not over.
I don't think Kyros can use Haki, and I don't think he'll defeat anyone in this arc (he's even got the leg handicap to justify any loss). Luffy's still there, the toys are all wrecking havoc, so it's hard to feel worried at all for the good guys now that Usopp pulled it off. Considering that crew-wise (including Kinemon) we're at 4-7 in favor of Doflamingo, it's a strange feeling, but things are what they are.
Big things still in the open are:
- Law's history with Doflamingo
- Kinemon and Momonosuke's history with Doflamingo (and Kanjuuro in general)
- CP0
- Big Mom on Nami's side

It would make no sense for his string powers to safe him here. Even if he can put is body apart by attaching it to strings (which would be weak in itself, since this is already Buggy's main gimmick), how could Curos miss the string with his sword? Every Devil Fruit has a logical weakness and strings should be clearly weak to blades. Also people in One Piece bleed and there body work like in real life. How can Doflamingo stops himself from bleeding and still have control over his body, while his head and body are separated?
Also Logia powers always base on states of matter and natural elements. Strings do not fall into this category. There are an unnatural material and therefore should fall under the Paramecia-Type.
I would also say that the presence of the Revolution Army is still a big thing that is unknown, the price(meramerafruit) was probably Sabo's motivation, but it seems like Hack, Koala (maybe more) have a bigger plan.
Also Sabo seems to be pretty confident he is stronger than Burgess and Diamante, really cool to see that he is such a wreckingball.

I have to say that I like the idea that 8gate Gai is giving Shin-Madara a workout.

One Piece 743:
It's sad that we all know Doflamingo isn't dead from Kyros' attack. As much as we're used to Luffy stomping out the final opponent, it would be different to have an opponent taken out like that. That aside, the chapter was nice and chaotic as it needed to be. I'm guessing Pika ran off to protect Doflamingo, so that's pretty bad news for Luffy. And I am going to assume Trebol will attack Robin but that someone(s) will show up to interfere vs Oda allowing her to fight.
Still waiting for Sabo to eat Ace's Devil Fruit though (Sabo's going to be pretty damn powerful once he gets it).

Yesssssssssss!
Now this is where things are going to get realer than real!
Doflamingo is clearly not dead. His power being Logia sounds a bit farfetched... my guess is Law had his Room activated while they weren't looking. Though it would be weird that they wouldn't put Law in Sea Stone cuffs.... unless something happened where he wasn't in Sea Stone.
Still, Kyros is fucking awesome!
Of course, Usopp claims that was all part of the plan. Still, he's the man!
Toriko
To the Grand Line! I mean, Gourmet World!
Maybe now Toriko will go from "pretty badass" to "hells yeah awesome!"

...Rebecca can use Haki...Regardless of whether Kyros will beat DF (he won't), he is definitely strong. Who else has taken DF by surprise like this. He couldn't block and neither could any of his henchman. Kyros is definitely strong.

I don't think Trebol even going to get a chance to attack Robin with so much people there , might just take sugar and run .
The better question is how long can Doflamingo stay in the country , the SH could leave and he would still have hundreds of people of all types wanting to kill him .
Don't think we had a villain in OP before that was so screw before the main fights if they happen here or they going to run away .

No doubt he's the strongest insider this arc. I'm just talking from a "One Piece logic" POV that insiders never win any big fights.

Closer than friends even brothers and more. Sage of Six Paths is also on the right team and with new powers and people rekindling their relations, pt2 of Naruto is swiftly continuing to pull way ahead of the high level that pt 1 reached. So happy at the conclusion to the inner talk.
Bleach
Why is this Kenpachi fight so long, is it going to be used as his last major fight
Gremmy ability is amazing.

I mean I hope this guy is an absolute beast...There are certain aspects that Oda is too predictable with in my opinion, and this is one of them. A pretty disappointing 'invincible gladiator' if he gets crushed on his first time out. There were quite a lot of people who could probably fight toe to toe with DF in the Marine Ford arc, given Kyros's build up, it would be good if he at least wasn't beaten by DF either.

Every time I read this I end up kicking myself for not picking up the english releases yet but whenever I actually go to do it I suddenly remember reading the source material jumps the shark pretty soon. BUT THEN I also remember reading it starts to pull some School Days-esque shit not long afterwards. Argghhhhh damn these conflicting emotions!!!
Speaking of ambivalence, Sena was so moe in this chapter I almost wanted to hand in my #TeamYozora badge:
Inside Mari 26
Now we're starting to get somewhere even if it looks like Mari isn't in his old body.

For a minute there I thought he was gonna reveal the fact he's actually a man but I guess he's saving it for last after that ballsy move.

Soul Catcher(s) is in the back of Jump....
What if Luffy has to fight Kyros, because Doflamingo has taken over his body? A big build up to have this guy face Luffy, would make sense. I already see him begging Luffy to complete ignore his well being. He doesn't care, if he dies, as long as the kingdom, the king, the people and his daughter are saved from Doflamingo. At the same time his daughter gets the courage to fight back and defeats Diamante. After everything we know about this guy, his daughter finally winning against her nemesis and waiting to see her father again, him begging the hero to sacrifice his life, that would be a hard hit into the stomach ...
Thanks, now I'll be disappointed when something like this doesn't happen.
One Piece 743:
It's possible since Pika ran from Zoro, he may want to head immediately to Doflamingo. As for Doflamingo, this isn't really a question that needs to be asked with Luffy and Kyros in the room. Doflamingo is about to fight/get beaten by Luffy. The real question is how long Oda will make us wait for Luffy to punch Doflamingo in the face. As upandaway pointed out, there's a lot of loose ends to cover that Oda may want to handle before that happens.
I'm wondering what Fujitora will do now. I was thinking he might just sit back and watch the chaos, but Doflamingo captured marines and government officials too. There's no way he can sit back and let that slide.

Didnt know I fell behind for a month, but it was worth the wait since it was just straight up battle action full of characters rising even though they had fought their hardest and still grew in battle, countdown to fight until the revival and even new reborn character. Mephisto is the best.

The summary pages was helpful for this magical based manga but the reveal that the old man was also one of the creatures was surprising. I wonder what his backstory is.

OP
So I'm guessing Doflamingo's fruit is the puppet puppet/marionette fruit, and enables him in addition to various string related stuff to control other people.
What if... the Doflamingo we've seen was never Doflamingo to begin with?
It could just be a body he took complete control over to further his goals (can't go wrong with the support of the navy), and his real body has always remained hidden. He could be nearby or miles away, but we don't know what he looks like.
That way, you could postpone the Luffy v Doflamingo fight for another arc and neatly conclude this one without drawing it out too much.

Bleach:
Meh chapter. All that "That's not the real kenpachi talk i said last week isn't true and this is just another plot armored fight". I better see a Shikai from this fight at least.

For a series featuring memory loss, children falling to becoming creatures in need of slaying, it has some pretty lovely colour pages and comedy (characters that dont smiling getting pages full of smiling and everyone commenting how it looks etc). Fun little action series.
Chapter confirmed my thoughts about characters being used as pawns by the govt, worst as bait.

DAMNNNNNNN!!!
This has to be one of the best weeks in awhile in regards to quality of chapter for OP and Naruto. Naruto actually was pretty good, so if it's finally coming to an end, I hope Kishimoto does his best to close it on a high note.
I didn't think OP would be able to out do Naruto, but what the fuck man, that chapter was crazy. I mean, from Usopp, the toys being revived to humans, everyone regaining their memories, then Sabo. WTF, that shit was awesome! Great stuff.

One Piece 743:
The way Doflamingo's head was cut art style wise, it's clear he isn't dead/it wasn't a real cut since there's no blood or anything to visually looking like a real decapitation, but it's also clear that it doesn't fit with Law's powers if you pay attention to how his powers have worked in the past. Besides the seastone cuffs as others have mentioned and no visual signs of the "Room barrier", artistically when Law has severed body parts in the past the separations are much cleaner, almost like stacking building blocks/toy parts. This cut however visually looks like Kyros cut Doflamingo's head off by the angle of his blade.
I'm going to go with this also being related to the strings (upandaway's "LIfe Fiber" theory sounds possible).
