Pwngoat theories were always hilarious.
The anime is so solw, this is like watching them in real time lol
As I'm sure everyone knows by now, there aren't a lot of moments in OP I actually like, in the grand scheme of things. However, the sequence with the Eleven Supernova's is definitely one I genuinely enjoy.
I have a major issue with the verisimilitude of the series, from everything how everything looks to how the world works to how the narrative is structured to make Luffy be the superhero that saves everyone every time he stumbles on an island one way or another. So the introduction of 9 other 'protagonists' that went on their own journeys is really intriguing to me. A lot of OP is just designed around having Luffy or just the strawhats be the only one that seems to achieve anything worthwhile. So introducing characters who are all on the same journey and playing field as Luffy is an awesome feature to add to the story. I wish they went further with it. There's no reason we shouldn't have heard about them doing similarly crazy things. "Oh, you took down Crocodile? Well Law brought down Jinbe!" or "Ennies Lobby was bad, but Kidd directly assaulted Marine Headquarters". Oda says they've rocked the world as much as Luffy, but we're not really shown that as much. They might have if the story was adjusted so that Luffy isn't for some reason the only one whose taking down major players like the Shibibukai. Up until now, every character felt like they were designed around how they would interact with the strawhat crew, rather than having their own adventure. They were either enemies or allies to help combat the enemies, either now or later on. With the Supernovas, you don't have inevitable enemies or allies or anything at all. Just people who happened to cross paths in their life journey's. That sort of thing is much more intriguing to me than almost anything else OP has presented so far.
There. Now no one can say I've never said anything nice about OP anymore.

I loved Thriller Bark. As a matter of fact there is no arc I hate. There are chapters here and there I'm not too fond of but the story as a whole has yet to really let me down.
And it sucks. I miss manga Wednesdays. :'(

When I watch One Piece it is usually in broadcast. I don't have access to the Viz(?) translations in my region. I usually just have time to read One Piece these days. I was just surprised.
Damn, jump scans is going back to Fridays again, huh. It's been a while.
a jump sub is looking more and more enticing.
I still await the day they fix Zoro back to normal.
Sadly, that won't be until a major re-release.
Though I'm pretty sure 99% of One Piece fans rightly call him Zoro.

Of all the unique laughs that get taken out of the dub, at least they saved Brook's
To be fair, Yohoho is synonymous with pirates across the world. Funimation kept Dereshishi too, pretty sure, which is probably one of the weirdest ones in the series.

Brook's laugh is the greatest. Gets me every time.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
This is the weirdest nonsense ever. I remember reading it and wondering how the hell they could possibly make this combination of letters into a sound.
It sounds just as weird out loud

Not a bad chapter as we begin the flashback of what happen .

Hiding the secret about the samurais is stupid because they're just going to find about it eventually. They sorta have three of them hanging out with the Strawhats at the moment. But I guess that's the inevitable conflict for the arc. :/

Chapter's out on a early Friday morning? Odd.
Who wants to bet Drake is one of Kaido's "Three Calamities"?
But more importantly, Sicilian has the best design ever.

I doubt Drake is anything more than one of the head lackeys of a Calamity.
The other two Calamities will surely be "The Queen" and "The King" based on how everything else has been card oriented.

Hmmm, I don't know. The translation made it seem like the Calamities work under Kaido.

We need a sabre tooth tiger and a sloth so we can complete the Ice Age pack.
Screw that, power rangers.
Got a T-Rex and a Mammoth. Need a Sabre Tooth Tiger, a Mastodon, and a Pterodactyl.

I like the way Jack has been introduced. The first thing we really learn about him is that he is a psycho and has been defeated by Fujitora and Sengoku. Then we learn bit by bit that he is quite a beast in his own right. Luffy is probably going to fight against somebody who has only recently been defeated. That is a pretty new one.

it's 99% one of the calamities,he fits too well in the mold.
also,supernovas should be a big deal in this part of the story..make x-drake just an underling would make him look bad

What an unreasonable reason to just destroy a whole country, lol.
Was he invisible for the whole chapter or what?

well it's also an entire country ,children and elderly included, vs a crew of pirates,,he numbers were in their favor (that's basically what the old monkey said)
Luffy's lack of filter continues to get him in trouble. Good thing Brook and Usopp shut him up.
So yeah, confirmation Jack is a Mammoth Zoan. I'm guessing his power is natural while Sheepshead, Gin Rummy, and the others are products of SMILE.
Inu-Arashi is a big dawg. Makes sense since he's the king.
And it looks like we're getting a Three Musketeers thing this arc, he's even dressed like one.
Caesar is screwed.

Interested in the lore behind the Calamities. Someone on reddit said it had something to do with Buddhism?
I wouldn't be surprised if the hierarchy in Kaido's crew was based on the quality of Zoan his underlings have, meaning people like X Drake and Jack would be on top.
Good chapter, but I'm kind of getting annoyed at the pacing of this arc with all the interruptions between flashbacks and finding out what happened. Anyone feel the same?

Hmmm idk i feel like besides the sanji stuff(for obvious reasons) this arc is one of the better paced arcs. We've been here for what? 5 chapters, we've met almost all the important minks,learned how nami and co escaped big mom's ship,saw the conflict that arose on zou. Moving pretty fast to me.
Ps. Anybody else like completely impressed with the minks? These guys are beast's.
