Huh, i didn't notice it before but in this chapter it's zoros practice shots that were failing. Whereas the times he meant to cut something like the vines his attacks were imbued with conquerors haki. Sommers also seens to be implying that its conqueror haki that allows him to so easily cut the vines.

I wonder if the implication in this chapter is also that a conqueror could lose his conqueror haki. If his sense of self is trashed....

I also love Sommers narrating what people think in real life when they read the manga. Thank god he is there to confirm it hahaha

So what your telling me is that "Yes, this season was in fact catfishing us with Eris the whole time just like they did last season" And the "interesting Eris content" you were referring to was an alternate timeline story followed by an, IMHO completely unnecessary, flashback of said alternate timeline story in which she is barely in.

Is that about right?



In all seriousness though I am a bit annoyed about the way this season has been structured. On the one hand I get it. Eris is probably my favorite character in this series but she's not the main character of this story. But I don't think there is much question this season and the one before it have been setting expectations of her involvement in this season that the story really haven't been able to meet.

I'm half joking when I call it catfishing but it kind of has been that.

I get it. Their adapting novels and I'm sure they're doing their best but it's kind of been a disappointing season for me. The slice of life stuff and side adventures are, I think, very important for world building in a good series. Acknowledging that, this has been a season all about side characters for the most part and pacing wise that's been dragging for me. Partly because they've taken some luxuries here with pacing. Judging by the fact that the ED animation is focused exclusively on those first 2 episodes with Eris, clearly they aren't unaware of what part fans like me were going to enjoy. But in reality this cour has basically been a slice of life anthology and her training was just one of those segments; and not even a particularly long one.

No doubt Nii is right and we'll get into something more substantive, as now it seems like it's got more of a plot direction going since episode 11 which provided a sort of framework for what's to come. And I can easily see why they wouldn't want to dive into all that until they have a full cour to deal with it properly but for this cour it's been pretty disappointing.

The fact that they had the audacity to do what they did and then put Eris on the see you next cour note at the end really twists the knife.

Not really sure how to rate this cour. On the one hand the quality was still there and taken individually none of it is bad. So maybe I should be calling this like above average. On the other hand this was a whole season of the kind of episodes you want sprinkled throughout something more captivating in order to give the world depth and this season lacked that so it just felt like it was meandering aimlessly until the cour was almost over. So I'm not satisfied by what I watched. I feel like I watched a filler arc which makes me want call it below average.

So I guess I'll give it a 5 out of 10
