I don't get what the tattoo says(am with zoro on this one)
edit
h i get it now
Always love after an arc ends they show whats going on around the world with all the hot shots,
The part with buggy thinking raylie maybe related to luffy is just a joke(he just assuming from luffy haveing connections to all those big time guys)
Haki wouldn't make a difference, luffy could already touch him and is immune to lightning.

Honestly way too many things were spoiled in this thread that I just don't understand why anime-only peeps even bother with this thread. How many times was the
spoiled by now? I just feel bad for them.
time skip and reunion
If anything, Enel would be the one who would benefit from Haki in a refight with Luffy.Cwarrior said:

Luffy saying he was going back to Marineford was a big letdown to me.
Pie and Beans
Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
The tattoo isnt the only indicator of the meaning, didnt he also ring the bell like twice the amount of ringing in a new year? Or was it more...

It's tough when there's only one thread. I don't see why people can't resist themselves but big events like that are bound to get out. It's why I switched to the manga again many years ago because I was afraid of learning the big things.

I stopped reading the manga pretty much around this time where the anime starts (saw a few episodes after). So everything after this is pretty fresh.
I can honestly say I haven't been spoiled about anything yet. I have zero clue whats happening in the manga, so its not really that hard to not get spoiled in my opinion.

Enel accomplished his dream though. That pretty much rules him out as a villain.
I guess he could be some sort of chaotic neutral character roaming around for whatever reason.

Yeah Oda says that once villains have their dreams crushed, they stop being a villain. Enel is kind of inverse to that.Stealth Editor said:
Hence why Crocodile was perfectly okay with helping Luffy, Luffy pretty much owned his ass and destroyed his ambitions of getting Pluton.
Also on Crocodile, am I the only one who thinks he's gonna turn out to be a Revolutionary spy who decided to take it too far by finding and using Pluton to destroy the World Government?

Crocodile will marry mister 1 in a private ceremony and retire from piracy forever. He'll transform back into a woman for 9 months, have 1 kid and go back to being a man

Wrong thread
Mikey Jr. said:
If Oda actually delivers on the one piece when the series ends after 20 years... he truly is a god.
If it's just a bunch of gold, or "THE ADVENTURE AND FRIENDS YOU MADE ALONG THE WAY WAS THE TREASURE", I'm fine with that. Quite frankly, I don't really care all that much about the one piece anymore. I love these characters, I love this world and I love the story being told. How they get to One Piece is what I care about, not so much the treasure itself.

Oda said one piece is an actual treasure
I'm thinking One Piece is actually about exposing the secrets of the WG and the Lost Century, telling of how bad they are or something. Roger kept it quiet since he was dying anyway, leaving it to a new generation to deal with it. Then Luffy'll get One Piece, deal with the WG based on what's written there, and become Pirate King, end.Mikey Jr. said:
I'm willing to bet money it won't just be that sort of cheesy message (and I'm willing to bet money Luffy won't die at the end, either).

Well it is fantasy to an extent and in the genre...the most coveted item is always anticlimactic. I imagine it will be 1000 chapters by the time its found and it wont compare to the hype build up. I know...Oda could just show it off panel, off screen...
One Piece - Baron Festival and the Secret Island
Sometimes a recommendation can seem unbelievable. A currently well known director once directed the sixth in a line of spin-off movies for an extremely popular mass market shounen fighting anime series known to have relatively low production values because it continues to run after hundreds of episodes. This movie is said to have been of such quality that it puts even his most recent original work to shame. Could it be? Is it an exaggeration? Maybe something born out of lowered expectations? No, it is exactly what was promised - not only one of the best animated movies based on a licensed property I have seen, but possibly the most mature direction to have come out of a Japanese animation film in the last decade.
This is one film where I feel that talking about the whys and the hows of the film would not do it justice, nor would it be fair to discuss characterizations, plot, or even setting. Not knowing anything about the movie beforehand if possible, is the ideal way to enjoy this. Not because of expectations, but simply because it would be doing yourself justice to experience the movie as it was intended. What I can do instead to convince those who are considering watching it, but do not know if it would be really worth their time, is to discuss how the movie made me feel, and where I felt the movie succeeded beyond the average movie made.
The film does not feel like a story told merely through narrative action. Instead of a piece that is communicated to the audience via script and information provided from dialogue and visuals, the tale here is one which attempts to connect with the audience on a completely emotional level using the invoking of feelings and tonal shifts. Every single scene in the movie, and every part of every scene from the visuals, to the camera angles, to the music, the sound effects, the movement of the characters, and the individual length of a scene, are specifically to invoke specific feelings from the viewer to carry across the same feelings a character might be feeling, or how the overall tone of the movie is moving from one stage to another.
The storytelling and build up in the movie reminds me of a concert, a musical, and even much older western cartoons, where what is expressed in the work feels like the work itself, rather than just an element of what is being presented. It is something so natural, so simple, so elemental, and yet so hard to pull off that almost no one ever tries. It can fail so easily if mismanaged, but when successful it is magical.
This movie is magical. It is beautiful. It is art. Rarely have I seen something which makes me completely satisfied, but this is one of those films. It is a complete showpiece of the talent of the director, and the talent of all the staff he has assembled, who clearly believed in his vision. For it to have been just a spin-off movie for a long running popular shounen series just makes it that much more bold.

One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island - Really good, this movie is a pretty solid showcase of Hosada directorial talent, like the digimon movies before them; he manages to portray a very distinctive atmosphere for the series, while at the same time not feeling out-of-place with the franchise. In some ways this also felt like a precursor to "The Girl who leapt through time" it kind of follows a similar tone progression, with the first half being light-hearted and low-key and then erupting in a more serious and darker tone in the second half.
Overall - I highly recommend this film, if you are a fan of hosada work in any other way, you definitely owe yourself to watch this film, even if you aren't particularly a fan of the franchise, it's just that good!

One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island
I want to hurt the people who subbed this One Piece movie so, so badly.
That was pretty good. Hosoda, as always, is one of the best directors when it comes to having characters interact and play off of one another. The story itself was alright, though the endless chants of nakama get pretty old after a while. Some of the CGI and compositing was distracting, though there were some pretty nice shots too.
Overall, it's not as good as TGWLTT, but it's probably better than Summer Wars.

[Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island a.k.a One Piece Movie Six a.k.a That Movie done by Mamoru Hosoda]
I was reminded of some pretty curious works while watching this movie: Beautiful Dreamer, Revolutionary Girl Utena The Movie, among others. When I'm reminded of those kinds of works its usually a good thing, because what I'm watching must be pretty special.
I have no experience with the One Piece franchise and, from my experiences with the movie, you certainly don't need one to appreciate this movie. Going too far into the 'plot' is difficult because the story isn't particularly complicated, but a lot of the really interesting pieces are undoubtedly spoilers. I can talk about the characters, who have a really enjoyable set of interactions across the movie that really don't come across as forced. You feel that you get to know the important things about this small but interesting range of characters. It was pretty important that this worked as well as it did, because the movie would have fallen apart without it.
What's important was just how enjoyable the film was too watch. Rather than the well realised down-to-earth nature of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time or the exaggerated but somewhat bland Summer Wars this film really goes pretty wild with it's visuals and imagery. There was never amount where I felt the film was being too lazy and traditional, something weird and cool and energetic was pretty much happening the whole time through.
I would go into some discussion about the tone and mood of the film but, much like the discussion of the plot, that would just be spoilerz and I don't even know if enough people have seen the film at this point.
Which is a damn shame. Being the the 6th One Piece movie doesn't make it that attractive or noticeable to people who aren't already One Piece fans, I imagine. That was the misconception I had before checking out this work, and it was totally wrong. If you're a fan of Hosoda's other works, or a fan of good movies in general, you should really give this movie a shot. It's one of the best anime movies that I've seen in awhile. It's certainly far better than Summer Wars.

One Piece Movie 6
That really was something else. The direction--in terms of scene setting, story-boarding, and sound-- was impeccable. The CG, while heavily prevalent in a large portion of scenes, was composited adequately enough with its color scale of orange and earth-tones that it, along with the muted colors of the rest of the film, ended up adding a sense of 'maturity' & liveliness to the film I really don't feel it would've had otherwise. And the narrative structure--my priority in front of all--was so on point I wanted to cry.
As the dynamic between the crew has always been the biggest draw to One Piece, imo, and I'm glad to say that somebody capable of working with the series shared that opinion. Hosada, rather than focus on super flashy fights that the series is more than capable of, decided instead to take that one aspect and center an original arc around the deconstruction of it. A decision that worked wonders, really.
So many wonders, the only real critique that I can think up, ironically enough, also has to do with the deconstruction of that broship--namely, while it was done with well in most cases, there were times that it felt incredibly forced, and needlessly drawn out, if only to reiterate that, yes: They were not getting along--at all. It's a small blight on an otherwise beautiful film, but nothing is perfect.
