Flame Dragon Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 AFTER 10 MONTH I FINALLY RETURN!!!! God, I missed so much. Brief thoughts on the last 10 months or so of One Piece. Honestly, the fights with Mingo's crew (especially his top executives) weren't as sweet as I'd have hoped. The final fight with Mingo however was fantastic. Gear 4 was really clever and Mingo's "awaken" powers really interesting. Loved how everyone rallied around Luffy at the end. Also enjoy how we never see Mingo's eyes. Wonder what the deal with that is. Honestly hope he comes back. He was a FANTASTIC villain. Fujitora is the greatest. Sengoku is now just Garp and I love it. Love how Oda is planning to use all of Luffy's new allies going forward. Its interesting that it took this long for the allies Luffy gained to even be able to follow him like this. Very curious whats going to happen with the BB crew and the Revolutionaries. The new bounties are the best. Enjoy that Law has even called Usopp god. Poor Chopper. I feel so bad for the poor creature Kanjuro draws. Though everything about the dragon was gold. Robin's been especially great of late. She is still so morbid, but like when she thought of the elephant showering itself it was smiling and had a rainbow. Oda isn't the greatest at drawing women. I do enjoy the lapshading of this with the new character being called "dog Nami". He even has her in Nami's clothes. Pretty sure he is aware of this issue. Curious how all the Mink tribe can use electricity. I like how the two kings are a dog and cat and they hate each other. I am sad that it took me forever to realize Inu was dog, especially since I've taken Japanese. For stuff from this chapter. [spoiler=809] Don't think the Duke's sailed with Roger. He says he ran into him which implies they weren't with them for long I love how casually Inu stopped Jack's attack and THE CAT MONSTER FLIPPING A MAMMOTH!!! That bounty though. Wonder how much we'll get to see out of him. Huh. I knew AssClass was doing well, but it's cool to see it became Jump's 2nd highest title. I guess the days of a Big 3 are over; now it's more like One Piece and whatever other series gained momentum that year. Which isn't a bad thing, I think it keeps things interesting and fresh. Also, that's cool to see that Jack is Kaido's righthand man. So he's not just some random new character. And that explains why he wanted to get Doffy considering he screwed over Kaido with the destroyed factory (wonder if it worked). Anyone else get Absalom vibes from Sicilian? If you go off just the rankings One Piece, AssClass, Food Wars, and My Hero Academy are the big Jump titles atm. Bleach is trash tier pretty much always at the bottom. The rest bounce around a bunch.

Ryusei the Morning Star Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Bleach is trash tier. Ouch, my heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Bleach is trash tier. Ouch, my heart I'm speaking in terms of rankings. It is almost ALWAYS bottom 3 or 4. It does sometimes jump higher but its more or less constantly bottom tier. Though the level of constancy on One Piece, AssClass, Food Wars, and My Hero Academy being top 4 is kind of scary. If you look at the past 3 months worth of jump issues its just them at the top with occasional jumps from other series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Where can you go to check the weekly rankings?Curious where stuff like Toriko places nowadays after it got all weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Crunchyroll's forums have a thread for it. Just google Weekly Shonen Jump rankings and you'll find it. Toriko averages middle to low middle. Nisekoi has been averaging low middle to low for the past few month. World Trigger has been averaging pretty close to Nisekoi, only its missed a fair number of chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Ah, it's from this, cool: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/12/14/one-piece-straw-hats-cosplay-for-star-wars-the-force-awakens And Chopper is Yoda, not the Emperor. Also, I've just realized both Robin and Nami are Leia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Well, it took forever but the anime is finally there, next episode might actually be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 [spoiler=Spoiler]The hype is real, can't wait to see how gear fourth will look like animated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I like how the full trailer that came out a bit ago for that upcoming Burning Blood fighting game not only features it prominently, it's the thumbnail image for the video.

Fusion X. Denver Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 [spoiler=And we're back]AND SANJI IS ROYALTY, WHOA.Sanji Vinsmoke as a full name is pretty interesting. I guess this explains why the bounty's switched to alive, because they finally got a picture that verified his identity.I wonder if Purin is the girl we saw with the 3rd eye?

Shradow Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 [spoiler=New chapter.]So we know Sanji's surname but as of right now no context on who exactly that is. But I bet we're gonna find out soon. And if he's the third son, are the second and first sons named Niji and Ichiji? Poor Pekoms, Capone is a bastard. Also, I'm afraid I'm not exactly sure what's going on in these three panels here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Well, that castle is inside of him, so that's a tiny Capone popping up to talk to all the people in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Oh, I didn't catch that, I thought there was just a little time change and a transition to someplace else. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Guys, Toei didn't funk it up (except with an animation error where Luffy had his sandals back after he took them off, but whatever). Thank goodness. TT^TT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_2XL1iP6ZYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78dSDowBICc Also, with this being animated I now realize the Haki markings on Luffy's chest are supposed to be the swirls from the Gum Gum Fruit. Next episode is Doffy's Awakening, should also be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Yeah, I was pretty happy with Gear Fourth in this episode. I think they did a good job and I'm glad they saved up money for these scenes. Hopefully the quality remains throughout the whole fight.Stuff like the sound effects ended up adding a lot to it for me, whether it was Luffy charging up Kong Gun or the sound of him repeatedly kicking to fly.

Shradow Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 It's like Sanji said, there's no way Luffy would accept being anyone's subordinate. And given their history and relative power, I doubt Big Mom would settle for an equal allegiance like Luffy and Law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 What would be funny is if this Charlotte Pudding doesn't like her mom for some reason and she and Sanji try to escape together and shenanigans ensue with the Straw Hats and Big Mom's pirates.

Fusion X. Denver Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Since I'm still secretly hoping that the Straw Hats get two more members (Jinbe and a girl), maybe this thing with Charlotte will take off and the next arc will add another crew member.I am sure of one thing though, we're gonna see Lola again soon. If she's back in Big Mom's crew and she's high-ranking enough, her faction could join with Luffy's during the showdown and cause a huge upset. I think Zoa's serving as a sort of in-between arc between Dressrosa and the next big adventure, which I'm assuming is the Straw Hats going to war with Big Mom while we find out about Sanji's past along the way. Also, good chapter. I'm wondering if Monster Gun has any relation to the Caribou brothers, he gives off a similar vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
