Luffy is "asexual", what's a "asexual"?
On Episode 268-269
I am getting used to the Japanese dub, the voices are good which is a good thing, and how Luffy doesn't recognize Usopp is so him.
But yeah, so far Enies Lobby is a good arc so far!

Usopp brings out Luffy's natural male urges when he's around, or so said Oda

I could never imagine Luffy sexual to anyone (can't believe I'm actually having a conversation like this lol).
I could never even imagine him in love with anyone, I know some people made jokes about how Luffy is probably "homosexual" but with a manga/anime like One Piece where it doesn't have any strong point to relationships anyone might as well be asexual...Other than Sanji of course.

Regarding the newest ep:

Law knows what he's got himself into.

He's sexual preference I think is a subject for topic based on "nothing". Yeah we have that Nami scene but that's really neither here nor there as evidenced by Oda's comments.
Well the same can be said about Goku, yet he has two kids.
I can imagine Luffy having kids for sure, I just couldn't imagine him in a relationship...If that makes sense lol.
I doubt that Nami scene indicated anything, Zoro wasn't with them when they all peaked as well.

I know that Oda said he doesn't want to put romance or anything in One Piece because it's a shonen, but that's one trope that's always bothered me. The celibate hero.

Ahaha, I laughed too hard at this.

I can't deal with this 1 episode a week pace D:
Half an hour is too short D:

It was the one thing that saved his rubbery ass from Hancock's beam though.

That's why you catch up on the manga and starting this weekend watch funi dub op on toonami. Then you get 3 blast of op every week

The shipper in me hates the fact that Luffy is a celibate hero.
But it works, because scenes
involving Hancock are so much funnier because of this.
I still think the whole Ussop thing from Oda was an asspull. I know he kinda asspulls everything when it comes to SBS, but to me, this was an asspull that didn't really work.
I'M BEING SILLY, CARRY ON.
I think it's a much better option than it crapping all over shounen.
Can't think of a shounen series where romance didn't devolve it into pure crap.

Oh I think so too, I bet if he thought more about he'd replace Luffy with Sanji or have Luffy off screen to avoid the topic.

I always assumed Luffy at the end of the series would be married to Hancock or someone else and have a little kid just because.

I guess it depends on how Oda wants to end the series but i just expect them to just keep on going on adventures even after they get the OP .
Unless Oda does a time skip showing us a good while after .

Makes sense considering Luffy wants to be pirate king just so that he can have the most freedom

Yep there still going to be whole bunch islands and places to go .
I can see luffy at end saying lets do it all over again unless Oda ends on a time skip many years after .
BassForever

I expect the final scene is Luffy being the shanks either for his own son or another rapscalion passing on the Straw Hat to the next generation.

It's insane that this was only meant to be a 5 year project. And that we've only just got halfway.

Immediate thought that popped into my head about when the series finishes. Another crazy thought is that the franchise will never stop making money either.
They'll re-release volumes into omnibuses & re-release episodes on Blu Ray....then do it again ala Kai version hahaha.

I'd still buy it though
Will be epic, one of the best mangas around. None will be able to top it.
berserk and hxh will still be around.
On episode 264.
Water 7: I overall liked Water 7, probably the most suspenseful yet in the series, and I'm glad we are getting to know more about Robin's past, but Usopp really got to let this whole thing go, with "Sniperking" (lol at the theme), and like I said before Franky is becoming a really SUPPPPPEEERRRRRR character.
Now that the Funimation dub is ending for 2 months, I will have to get used to the Japanese dub, not a fan of having to read the lines for every episode but it's better than nothing I suppose.
Oh...And.
Japanese One Piece (with Subs) is 100x better then the Funimation dub. Trust me.
Isn't berserk being made as movie arcs, each volume = 1 movie. The first one was incredible.
The movies are volumes 4-13, but they're missing some stuff. I will agree though that the first movie was excellent, but if you're really into Berserk, read the manga for it as well.

:/ The trailer is average at best.
Double post I know, but in less than an hour, FunimationLive is going to stream the first 206 episodes of One Piece over the next few days, leading up to the premiere on Toonami

Oh, ok. PHEW. I misread that as "ending in two months
