I love One Piece, I hope Oda stays healthy and I'm rooting for a sucessful franchise. Having said that, holy shit staying invested in the story seems borderline impossible with this release rate. I hope to one day binge read the post wano stuff.

One Piece has always been like that. Crocodile and Enel needed the water/golden ball gimmick because they were logias and haki was not a thing yet, but I guess it'd be hard or even more repetitive to always find a natural counter to logias. I personally liked it that way, and I still think...

It's funny because Oda always puts a spin/reverse elements into narrative, but the visual similarities are quite clear in this one. Imu seems like a mix of Magellan and Hannyabal, or perhaps it's too early into the depiction to fully grasp who's who. Imu has the devil boss aura, power that...

I shit you not, this theory has more depth to it than it seems. Parrot is something I never thought of... it's goofy and fun, so I kinda like it! But think about it from the perspective of Imu not being the final boss type of character, and just a means to an end, and him being the former...

I've been thrown off by the underwhelming brook flashback and release schedule, but having one of the few people who actually knows about the void century finally interact with Imu is bound to be great. I hope for at least one big reveal, but there'd be more hype about the chapter if that was...

This always gets tricky when replying to you, but I feel like I didn't elaborate enough on what I meant, so here goes: The implication is that the moniker "Sun God" is not exclusive to Nika, because it's just a moniker. --> Nika is in fact called the "Sun God", and Joyboy has been stated to be...

Honestly, I love brook as a character and I've always been very interested in him. I still believe Oda is telling us the metalot through several smaller backstories, and I think this might be a big one in that regard. If the Nika pose wasn't enough, we have a complicated love affair between...

Random thought about the identity of the "man marked by flames": Barbel from the Rocks Pirates. (the fishman) - Fishman allows him to create whirpools, and it was mentioned that he sank ships that went near him with whirpools. - Cool and detailed design during the flashback, making him a likely...

Not that he can't have more than one reason, including an unresolved infatuation with Lili (He keeps Lili's portrait in the castle and Vivi is her spitting image), but the bloodline existed for centuries and Imu never bothered, so I'd rather focus on the context: Imu was holding 4 pictures when...

Ok, so there's a sea god and a rain god, so my current bet is on Vivi being related to this Zaza. Ngl, I think Vivi has to be a main suspect with the current information we have: Oda recycles narrative, so Vivi and her rain related narrative during Alabasta suddenly becomes relevant...

Well, it's been a few years since Wano ended and we still don't even know what's the real canon source inside the story, but I guess that's part of what makes it interesting and Oda probably keeps it muddy so people can't really predict the ending. Shirahoshi is "Poseidon" and that's an...

Well, I'm not exactly trying to say he's this or that, I'm saying I once believed that could be the case, can't remember why, but the dialogue this chapter is classic shonen grudge stuff... Imu drops a whole speech about people craving to be dominated and then angrily calls out Joyboy saying...

Damn, Imu actually pulling a Joyboy reference during his domination speech? I remember thinking Joyboy might've been a scumbag a couple of years ago, but I don't really remember what made me consider that possibility, but here's a quote I found while searching for it: I mean, this doesn't...

I did say a while back that Garling might be plotting to betray/take the throne, so I'm on board with that one, but in regards to the silhouette: Shamrock was right handed when dealing with Loki, and that character is clearly left handed. It doesn't exclude him, but makes it less likely.

Ngl, I fully expected a Domi Reversi to create the big antagonist for Elbaf, so this is a surprising development... one that I like very much. I hope we get the Gaban lore dump into perhaps Imu arriving? He mentioned leaving the "Holy Land", not the castle, so he's either going to Elbaf or we...
