Very kind of Imu to just calmly stand there and wait as Gaban gives his speech to Luffy and not take advantage of the fact that his opponent is literally presenting his back to him.

And once again the villain is an idiot wasting time to stab Luffy a second time when he's already immobilized instead of just lopping his head off.

Whomever the person is that let Oda add Gear 5 to the story instead of slapping him on the back of the head saying "No, that's stupid!" should be fired and never find employment in the industry ever again.

I have to admit that my favourite part of this arc has been the introduction of Loki as a character. He's fun to read about and the panel in his flashback of him standing in the burning village after Ida was poisoned was legitimately just a fantastic bit of visual storytelling (wish we had more...

The scene of Loki and Imu kinda reminds me of Fingolfin challenging Morgoth in the Silmarillion, only in this case we're rooting for the giant.

Good thing Imu's a guy, otherwise Luffy wouldn't have been able to punch him.

And here I thought the solution to Domi Reversi was going to be something unique to the Nika fruit (like a 'freedom reversi') as a juxtaposition between Imu and Nika, but nope, just punch them hard enough. I don't know whether to be disappointed or glad that the solution didn't turn out to be...

I'm relieved Loki's dragon form looks at least fairly serious and Oda didn't force any stupid cartoon 'comedy' into its design.

My only hope is that whatever Loki's DF turns out to be, it won't be something silly. One Nika's shit attempt at 'comedy' was already fatal to whatever serious themes and tone the story hoped to have and Loki's actually been quite an enjoyable, darker character so far; I pray to god he'll be...

People who can differentiate between fiction and reality? -_-

Because Harald is naive? Like, duh?

Not entirely. We've seen him listen to his superiors when Sengoku told him not to interfere with Ace's execution and Garp did as told.

Whitebeard just walking off when he's not even injured 's kinda a downer, not gonna lie. As for the whole Garp debate, even if you twist yourself into five thousand pretzels why him staying with the WG was good akchually, on a personal level he was still a shit parent to Ace (and Luffy) and his...

Story-wise I'm a bit puzzled why Whitebeard didn't stay to join in the fight with Rocks. Yeah, I know it's because Oda had already established it was Roger & Garp who fought and beat him, but I'm talking about the in-universe reason. This doesn't seem like the kind of fight he'd sit out...

I have a lot of issues with One Piece these days, but I ain't gonna deny that the splash panel of Imu being attacked by all-but-one future Yonko + Roger + Rocks + Garp is pretty damn fucking sweet. Similarly, while my overal stance on Garp as a character is unchanged, the fact that he did...
