I don't mind having some down time, but it needs to be about something interesting. I really don't care about Luffy and Ace's childhood. If Sabo turns up in the present time it will have at least had some relevance on the story, but up to this point it could have easily been cut out or condensed to a few panels during Ace's death scene.

At least there's no way this'll be as bad as the Davy Back arc though. That's the only section of the manga that made me feel like skipping through without reading.
Oh so you would've rather they'd spoiled the pacing of the war and Ace's death by putting in some flash backs that wouldn't have been relevant to the scene?

Damn, the chapter went by so quickly :lol Pretty good, it's getting exciting again.
He talk no jutsu'd himself.

So much bromance, I LOL so much at "It's too early to celebrate, mothafucka!"
It's not bromance if it yourself!
 
Achtius said:
But they story still make sense if
they replace evil Naruto with Sasuke
Especially the
hugging part
If YAMI NARUTO was actually the sauce there would've been a lot more than just hugginh.

Just sayin'.

That would be as crazy of a plot twist as Ace being Gold Roger's son or something!
 
I remember someone referred to him as yami naruto. I'm not sure if it's more or less retarded than dark naruto.
 
One Piece

Sabo will be appearing soon. he has too

Naruto

eh, just get to the training already =\

Bleach

Boobies McTits is back. I always hated with characters have this kind of romanic interest in the bad guys. if she changes him back to a good guy using her love for him, I...I... will stop reading Bleach

that won't happen....me not reading Bleach

Agreed. I'm there right now on the North American volumes, and I'm fucking dying. Hardest read ever :lol
 
Naruto
What's preventing me from taking this miniarc seriously is the thought of Kisame still hidden in the sword (he's still hidden, isn't he?). I hope he has some way to isolate himself from the outside, since I don't think he could remain sane after listening to Bee rapping all day. :lol
Oh, and this chapter is just one big cliche... better things to come it seems, though.

As opposed to having several chapters worth here? Definitely. The small amount of development this flashback has had is with Ace softening from an angry child to a loving brother, which would have been much more appropriate back there. The flashback has had no relevance at all to Luffy so far. He's exactly the same at the start, here and in the present time.

I'd rather it were cut out entirely though.

I wonder how viz will refer to it, gosh I always spoil myself reading the comments here about Naruto, but then end up forgetting them all when I get shonen jump weeks later, lol.

Forgot all about Kisame. What makes the Kisame thing worse was his internal monologue about being surprised that Samehada was turning to Bee. The plan was so good that he tricked himself! :rolleyes
 
Hunter X Hunter chapter 308 spoilers:

Little Pufu suggests they compete to see who can find the remaining Nen users faster.
The King feels something after hearing the word "compete."
Pufu wants a handicap in order to compete, so asks that the King only use his En once more.
"Sounds fun, let's do it. If you win, I'll grant a wish of yours. And if I win, I'll have you tell me what you're hiding from me. We're one and the same now, so I know you're hiding something~~~~~"
Pufu starts searching.
Palm runs.
Ikarugo is there.
Once they open the shutter, they see the truck. While driving Ikarugo explains the current condition of things to Palm.
They hide Komugi in Bizef's room.
Werefin is in the bed of the truck.
Ikarugo talks with Werefin about going to see Jairo.
Ikarugo talks about the past.
Werefin drives the truck to come get (someone?)
The King moves to begin the competition.
 
The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer 52:

Why did the chapter have to end before seeing Shimaki's golem? :lol I'm kind of hoping Hakudou doesn't die even though it seems like it will be the obvious route the story will go.

One Piece 585:

I wasn't expecting Sabo to have taken the "brother" oath with Luffy as well. I guess he really is Ace's replacement, right down to beating Luffy multiple times. Although it's too bad Sabo's dad isn't on the level of someone like Roger or Dragon.

goompapa said:
Luffy at that point probably didn't know what a noble is nor did he care
"Ace: Son of a noble!?
Luffy: Who is!?
Sabo: Me!!
Luffy & Ace: So?"

So to him that is not an important detail. With Luffy being luffy, it is valid that he has already forgotten about nobles at the beginning of the Sabaody Arc.

1) You're responding to my spoiler discussion with actual chapter details that weren't in the spoiler.

2) That dialogue was from when Sabo was explaining who he was in a casual conversation. That's a major difference from the end of the chapter when Sabo, Luffy, and Ace are being attacked and Sabo gets taken by the Nobels. It's like (for example) trying to argue Luffy forgetting who CP9 is before and after they kidnapped Robin.

Hunter X Hunter Spoilers:

A competition? Oh no....

The return of Cell has come full circle.
 
Combine said:
And then top it off with a Guy "Dynamic Entry" :D

I think the manga thread has an agreement that stipulates that only Grandjedi can make random scenarios where Guy shows up.

Edit: Oh wait, he is on the island FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Come one, guys:

"Little Pufu suggests they compete to see who can find the remaining Nen users faster."

They're not starting a tournament arc or anything.

I find it more interesting is that they might finally clear up the Jairo situation.

I still believe there will be a tournament despite this.

Nobles as in the nobility of the Goa Kingdom.

Not the Tenryuubito/Celestial Dragons/"World Nobles."

Cell games.

Why does noone actually read the spoilers? I know it's kind of an engrishy translation but still...

Rewrite said:

Not liking what? Pufu is just trying to trick the king into letting him get to Komugi first.

And the king was always a pretty obvious mashup of / homage to Cell and Freeza.


Rewrite said:

When this king was first introduced I thought there might be a tournament: I figured the selection process would be a tournament and the main characters would enter it all Enter-the Dragon-style. I feel the moment for a tournament in this arc has passed now.

Although I could see the next story arc could possilby being a tournament arc.
I actually don't mind tournament arcs though, at least then there's a reason for having a bunch of dream matches, without having to fabricate some dumb reason for each fight.

They pretty much already had one anyway.

They were always closer to brother and sister, so I doubt much will come of it other than Gin saying "I'm sorry" again shortly before he tries to stab her.
 
ArjanN said:

Because the moment the king was born, i thought to myself "lol it's perfect Cell"
 
Kinda glad the early OP spoilers turned out to be not true. I feel like I got more out of this chapter than I would have out of the fictional one. Of course, I love the way you think Luffy comes from some sleepy little town, only it happens to be a sleepy little town next to A GIANT FUCKING CITY.

I'm wondering if Sabo doesn't die, will he end up being one of the Tenryuubito? If so, that could be Luffy's key to infiltrating a place like Mariejoa.

One Piece

I liked it. Still think Sabo's gonna die. Him being alive just doesn't make sense when you look at how Ace and Luffy behaved for the past 500 chapters.
At the very least, Oda should be able to explain their behavior, or it will really be obvious that Sabo was rushed.

Also I think the Strawhats will rejoin mid-arc, and in a one-after-another manner.
I think some crewmembers already joined up, but I don't remember who with who. Hopefully these groups will have a whole chapter each for their entry, to be really satisfying.

Also, what's up with the huge explanation about the city? It may very well come in later with this kind of attention.

If he's resigned to living a noble lifestyle, there is little chance Sabo would have any contact with pirates after the fact, even if he really wanted to.

As for Luffy, he's not one to just start explaining his past to anyone. He either blurts it out like it's common knowledge or he acts like a dunce and doesn't bring it up at all. Hell, we didn't even know about Ace until, well, Ace shows up. Then all of a sudden, Luffy's got a "brother."

As for Ace, well, we had little direct contact with him before he died, and when we did, it was always concerning something else. There wasn't really a reason to suddenly bring up someone like Sabo when so much other shit was going on. Either Blackbeard was on his mind or he was waiting to be executed.

Yes I know Sabo's dad is a different kind of Noble after reading the chapter, but I was pointing out why that bit of dialogue between Ace, Luffy, and Sabo doesn't excuse Luffy's memory loss (when the real World Nobles decide to show up during this flash back).

Why not? Gohan already got his power up a few chapters ago after his "dad" died.
 
Xux said:

But I like Erza better. :(

Bleach

OMFG!! I never noticed the extra "i" in deicide until someone bolded it, the discussion on the word decide makes much more sense now. :lol

Sadly my only highlight for this weeks chapter.

Naruto

I don't get it, how is accepting he has a dark side going to help him filter out the 9 tails hatarade? The whole dark naruto thing feels redundant now that he's going to fight the demon fox anyway.

One Piece

Flashback has more meat on it than I thought it would, when it started I was expecting it to just focus on the Ace & Luffy brotherly love but now we have a possible link to the tenryuubito. Assuming the person Sabo is expected to marry into is is in relation to the world noble that arrived as of last chapter.

Garp. :lol

Who says Luffy ever meets the World Nobles?

You'll be glad to know that it officially is Erza.
 
Another day, another night, still no Nurarihyon no Mago chapter. Or Negima, for that matter.

Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer:

Good stuff. Hakudou is sure sending out death-flags everywhere.
