To be clear, I have mixed feelings about this back half of Elbaph, and I think you would know that since we've spoken before, but just to be clear. Anyway, I want to reply properly. For the first paragrpah, I would agree. I would suggest maybe that the first paragrahp in conjunction with the...

I think we can all tell that these realizations are coming quickly because of rushing, especially in this era of extremely frequent breaks. So I think most of us can acknowledge that. But I can tell you how it's not a shitty narrative from the perspective of an editor in a business. 1. In real...

I agree with most of what you said, and definitely agree with the prediction. For Sanji, I would just say there was a cause-and-effect established. The stress of the raid suit triggered the dormant germa genes and so and so. And unlike Zoro, Sanji was pushed to his upper limits more often. (Bone...

I just want to say that Zoro, with no guidance, learned to generate illusions that all characters could see with no guidance, offscreen, and those illusions were capable of inflicting damage. Sanji learned to ignite his leg while not getting burned. The science of that burning leg eludes Queen...

Hannibal, just reinforcing your point: Remember when Kaido's hobby was suicide? And Zoro is never going to get away from the reality that he has a chance of going the wrong way even when someone points him in the right direction. And Boa is always going to be strongly submissive to Luffy. And...

I want to contend that the most difficult thing in the world is going on the adventure of fatherhood and being a present and caring father while also realizing that it doesn't mean killing your dreams. I mean... on the blue planet, you've got maniacs willing to go as far as to turn you into a...

Federico, I don't know if you meant to be so absolute, but there ARE ways to begin to deal with GKs. 1. The dismember and keep body parts seperate strategy. Perfectly reasonable. Needed Imu to come save Killingham. Smart pirates would then throw the parts into the ocean. 2. The Luffy balloon...

Fact: Sanji knows about Conq at Fishman Island, as both he and Zoro comment on it when Luffy uses it. Inference: Iva could have told Sanji about it. Conclusion: You're right that it's reasonable for Sanji to go through a similar flashback sequence involving Iva. My Opinion: The flashbacks...

If Redon posted Iva, I'm going to assume cover page.

To be fair, Hannibal, I struggled putting my thoughts into words, and I don't think I really disagree with you. I'll try by using your words to further express my thoughts. power input shouldn't be what determines using Conqueror's Haki or not--> I agree. What I'm more saying is like... what...

It's because it didn't "work" for Zoro. The critical parts in the first translation are Zoro's "I didn't do anything different," and Mihawk's concluding line. In the other translation, Zoro doesn't understand what he did differently, implying he was doing the regular named attack, from his...

I cant believe it, but Sommers is doing the Lord's work by being exposition man. Telling us exactly when Zoro's used the coating, whether it be in the past or now, and pointing out exactly when he's doing it now, matching the Haki lightning. Thank gosh that at least one of these parties knew...

He's beta-testing moves against Sommers post-Power Up & legendary sword Gram. Yeah man, even saying "seems like a joke" is an understatement. If there's any meta signal that Luffy is going to be fine, it's Zoro's zero urgency. But I want to point out that I've been saying the GKs are "weak"...

Got to be really careful with saying "real." Right now, both modes are drawn with the same cloud and lightning. The interpretation that has more oomph behind it is that King of Hell is the accidental/unfocused version, aided by Enma constantly drawing out all of Zoro's haki. (this part is my...

I'd argue One Piece being the same has actually been the biggest problem when pedal hits the metal. For example: Luffy's victory is the final victory of the arc. When both present, Zoro and Sanji will be the final fights, with Sanji typically having his fight before Zoro. The Monster trio of the...
