Yeah, I think it’s that fanbase, at least a majority of them, having the meltdown online.

I'm not surprised though, because they’re probably feeling what Luffy fans (myself included) felt when Zoro started using Advanced Conqueror’s Haki in Wano. Dude went from never using the basic version to unleashing the full-on advanced version, all in one fight, while it took Luffy a slow buildup over multiple arcs before he finally used it the first time. They didn’t complain back then and even praised Oda for keeping Zoro close to Luffy; “phenomenal storytelling,” as they put it IIRC. But now that it’s Sanji’s turn to skip the steps, it’s suddenly a problem

At least we Luffy guys have already felt those emotions and made peace with his subordinates having it, so whether one more person gets it or many more do, it doesn’t really matter to us at this point, so… Oda better give our Sanji-kun his black streaks next week. Most Luffy fans, like me, highly welcome it. Not sure why they are complaining, but this is phenomenal writing by Oda to keep the wings around the same power level

And he’s also getting Kizaru-level speed to boot. Speed is weight, which increases AP… and if you coat the attack with Advanced Conqueror’s Haki, you’ll have someone who can terrorize any top tier; the black leg he warned the world government about.

The crew’s finally looking good; what’s remaining is Luffy’s power-up to complete the setup going into the final war.

On another note, does anyone remember that meme where someone weak, say Usopp, faces someone powerful, say Imu, and then they tell Usopp to “drop the act,” hinting that Usopp was actually pretending to be weak all along and using only like one percent of his power?

Yup, turns out the meme is true, and it’s Sanji instead of Usopp that has been using 0.1 percent of his power all along. Man I so love this chapter

VIZ announcing a release means nothing for the manga's Jump survival or not. They still refuse to publish a long running hit like Witch Watch, but published Red Hood.

Shueisha giving Roku an exhibit at Jump Festa, but having nothing for Under Doctor says more about the manga's status. It's above the axe baits, but it's not safe long term yet.

I'd compare Under Doctor to like Agravity Boys (tho Agravity Boys was 10x better). Its a turbulent time in the magazine, and so while its not exactly in the worst spot, it also isn't like really a hit. So if a few more "successes" like Roku come in (it doesn't even need to be like giant breakout hits), it'll be cut. But as of now, its just a current exister, its neither safe nor in immediate danger.

Yeah, I mean spin off is supposed to show things that might have been glossed over. This is more like a revision, and to have it done intermittently between season breaks like that... That is why I can't think of a better word than "cheating". Like a child would when beaten in a make believe game.

Did they not let man cook, or is man cooked?

If it means this stupid looooooooong plot is gonna end, I'm all for it. It would be even better if LotL is also dealt with to finally let Lancelot's own character show up a bit more.

Like always, the most powerful one has the least development. I still remember all those potentially wonderful moment Nakaba lost during NnT just because of some nasty ex machina powers that ruined both the plot and the characters. All the sacrifices that immediately became pointless due to the existence of all those otherworldly powers. I seriously hope some of these unneeded powers to leave the world so the story can actually develop while Nakaba has still time to improve the manga.

I don't really think the Lady of the Lake would leave Lancelot at all; "Lancelot of the Lake" has always been his title in Arthurian legends.

It's a massive part of his character. Lancelot will never lose his connection to the lake, and Galahad never implied such a thing about the future.

Also, can we stop saying the lake made Lancelot as broken as he is?

Lancelot's strength has never been about his amount of magic, his ability to spam Shining Roads, or any of his other magical attacks.

His magical attacks have only ever been useful for taking out fodder, and that's it.

Besides, the lake herself said his magic would eventually grow to surpass Nemesis in power, and that was before he absorbed the lake's power.

So, Lancelot doesn't really have a shortage of magical power.

The lake merely gives him the ability to spam those ridiculous, Nemesis-level Shining Roads, as well as his ability to absorb attacks.

No, Lancelot's strength has always been one thing: his physical strength.

This is something the lake had nothing to do with. Lancelot didn't humiliate Chaos Arthur with magical attacks; he used his physical strength.

Lancelot didn't defeat Nanashi with a magical attack; he defeated him with a kick after he perception-blitzed him.

Lancelot also defeated the Four Perils with a single sword slash (enchanted with moon of 18) after he perception-blitzed them as well.
