One Piece

It’s taken, unfortunately.

The song or something else?

The song, it was until just this week the ending theme to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo

Who says a song can't be shared?

So, it was just announced that One Piece Cruise History will be at Tokyo Tower this April 24 as part of the anime's 20th anniversary celebrations. Hopefully something interesting might happen there.

Also, I've realized there's a thread for the live-action TV series here.

I got my eyes pealed.

And FYI, next week is the anime's final episode of the Whole Cake Island arc.

I hope Gin makes a comeback before it all ends. He's actually my favorite minor character from early in the series.

Which did you like better as an introduction to Big Mom: her actual introduction or her whole song and dance number?

I like the song and dance number, personally. It's hard not to enjoy an introduction that makes Disney villains weep with envy.

Also it gives off a Poor Unfortunate Souls vibe.

The dance number, it starts the Disney mixed creepy-vibe of the arc and it ties perfectly with her song at the end.

Speaking of the chapter, it's interesting Zoro fights a Benkei expy ( according to the story/legend, Benkei actually existed, was a Buddhist monk who would fight against the warriors and after defeating them he would steal their weapons because he considered them unwhorthy of wielding it)... and now Zoro has to fight to get back his sword, which he received after being considered worthy by Zombie-Ryuma. I also like the direction of the beginning of the fight, starting from a distance, a snowy area, a bridge and the two warriors fighting on it... very Japanese

P.s. though I would've loved seeing Zoro losing track of this Benkei despite being right behind him XD

Chapter's out.

Welp, a pretty safe bet now where Big Mom is going to wind up.

Prediction that is obviously open to change with further information: Luffy fights Queen, but loses, but then Big Mom comes in and oneshots Queen or otherwise defeats him easily.

I have a feeling that Queen is going to be heavily beaten up by Big Mom for not sharing.

I swear when that kid finally starts crying I’m gonna have a smile on my face.

Seriously even if it is the point, man is that perpetual grin frighting.

Also Queen has not read the Evil Overlord List.

Oh, so Haki barrier is back, neat. Sure is convenient to bring up now lol.

I actually got a feeling that Queen will be curb-stomped by Big Mom next chapter.

Wow. Kinda a dick move for that Samurai to keep attacking Zoro while he's trying to save those two.

And yeah, somebody slap that girl until she stops crying.

Given Otoko comes from a place where the habitual laughing is a way of coping with hardship, I see they backfiring.

What was up with Kamazou even? We saw him in the news as a mysterious serial killer with a hidden identity, but it turns out he is actually a secret hitman for Orochi. What is the point of him being a secret instead of just a public executioner? It's not like Orochi was ever pretending to treat his population kindly.

Propaganda. A dystopia faces less opposition if you can fabricate an external threat. If your killer can be anyone, it could be someone from the opposition or a foreigner...

Especially coming from a Samurai! Shouldn't they have a strong sense of honour, especially in battle? (although the guy he's based off was a monk)

Aaand... discount Makoto Shishio is already down. Cool fight, however
