If only haki was the problem of OP...
Keep it real. Ain't shit happen in a goddamn minute. Last time I was LEGIT impressed with OP was when Law showed up on Punk Hazard and formed an alliance.

hm..that may helps, but the problem is that unlike other very large arcs like Alabasta, this is being paced very poorly. There's literally lots of chapters of nothing noteworthy happening, the you have an interesting chapter with actual development and back to chapters in which nothing happens, the worst is, that while in Alabasta introduced some new inetersting characters is not the case here.
Well, we can agree both arcs are oustanding, so take whatever you want to point what lacks in the actual one.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
There isn't one yet, though.
Nope, this is the closest it has ever come to reach it. The next volume should be able to do it with the boost of the anime.

Who can forget classic characters like the guy with a hair sticking out or the square headed chicks that followed Franky around or the frog that kept on getting run over by the train.

What he's trying to say is that if you're going to show tons of characters going at each other in a mess at least have us be emotionally invested in the fodder characters or why they're fighting. In Alabasta, we were made to want to see the fighting stop being the royal guard and the rebels as we knew they were all being manipulated. In Enies Lobby it was pirates vs marines in an effort to save Robin and Franky. At Marineford even with tons of new characters being introduced left and right we were vested simply because they all fought to save Ace/kill Ace.
This newest arc however has tons of characters fighting for Ace's devil fruit and it just doesn't have the same kind of emotional pull. It's also not a clear side a vs side b it's just a mad free for all. It's made worse by the fact that 90% of the participants either don't seem to really care about winning the fruit or just want "more power". There are many ways you could do a mad FFA and make it work, but at times I feel like I'm just being introduced to fighters/bosses for upcoming OP video games and probably extended anime fight scenes.

The issue is we aren't seeing any real fighting. it's just a messy free for all.

I refuse to believe people who say they "don't understand" what happened in a chapter in any of these mangas. Due to small panels, dense art, anything of the sort. Things can be packed sometimes absolutely but I can count the times I genuinely couldn't tell what was happening in a panel on one hand over the last year.

Ichigo's gonna be the Spirit King, obviously.

Yet another random yuri manga:
Ohana Holoholo
You know, the whole single-parent trope must be a popular thing in Japan, because here's another one of those books.
Michiru, a bisexual woman, has a child with a bisexual man. The man died at some point, so she goes to live with Saya, her former lover. By chance, Michiru also meets her dead lover's boyfriend. And so, you have a slice of life book with probably the most diverse family possible.
If nothing else, this is a book that attacks the premise of family being driven by bonds of blood. It's just three people raising a child together, related only by their social relationships and not out of any filial obligation.
Please enjoy!

We'll still have Fairy Tail
I know I'm not the only one, but I hate lesbian themed stuff with bisexuals.
Isn't Fairy Tail in its final arc as well?

I don't think that was ever officially confirmed, we speculated it based upon the chapter where Mavis talked with Zeref but this newest arc clearly is not going to segue into the finale of the series.
I thought it was an OP = FT joke.
Why is Oda even mad at FT? He should be happy someone is copying his shitty character design.
Fair enough, I don't read it. I was just going off what was speculated here then.
Surprisingly, World Trigger got a colour page in Jump this week. I wonder if Jump is going to press that as the new battle manga?

Huh? Oda isn't mad at Mashima. Mashima has been around for ages, nearly as long as Oda.

The Jump editors are letting it stay in the middle of Jump but the first volume sold like shit. Though it seems stable. Soul Catcher(S) is staying out of the back of jump which is good.
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
Since when were you under the assumptions that Tsukishima was not Aizen?

Well it is its third color page after all and got a 3rd and a sixth rank before, so its gaining popularity more and more hopefully. Really excellent series, its been, as of the 2nd color page to present.
;_;
One Piece will be the only thing still stinking up Wednesdays and it has far gone past its peak and is on a steady decline.

Maybe to people that never really like it the first place ( i still like you stat lol )
Why would Oda even give a fuck about Mashima ?
I fully agree , this never really happens to me even when the chapters blur to hell like they are sometimes .
I would have a problem with this if the tournament was the main part of the arc but it's small part of it .
Most characters are just fodder with maybe a few that going to be important later there no need to have a emotional pull.
Side note guess i going to catch up on few manga like TB New Waves , Freezing and Deadman Wonderland and maybe some Shojo .

Some people would not care either way so it don't matter , you can't please everyone .
For eg some people like world building \ introductions for there favorite manga and then would turn around and say it's waste for another series .
That is true but half the time the scans are shit and blur the hell out of the detail for the chapters among other things .
You can read same chapter from many groups and most of time they all look different .

Yeah it was made up. All because Dressrosa has a tournament, thieves the people call "fairies" (really the dwarves) and Luffy's disguise name is Lucy. So the stream guy made up that there was a beef, claiming that Mashima referenced One Piece in the latest chapter. I didn't see anything.
Reading through the Wiki, "Lucy" is actually a reference to Master Roshi from Dragon Ball. In Japanese, it's pronounced "Rushi", and Luffy has a beard that resembles Roshi's.

That is even more stupid that i thought SMH .
Yep not surprising , Oda references a good amount of stuff but we all know that gen looks up to DB and Toriyama .

I wish Oda would hurry up and make a projectile attack for Luffy. All his attacks are rubber and requires physical contact excluding Conquerors Haki.
Ichigo and Naruto and most shonen mains have energy beams/attacks. Luffy needs one or Oda will have failed me!
