This was a pretty cool chapter...

...though the Sanji scene is a pretty mixed bag for me. On one hand, it definitely seems like Oda's intention was for Sanji to intentionally cry out for help with...

Shin Shin no Mi (New-New Fruit) - Allows you to restore any inanimate object back to brand new, untouched condition - sort of the opposite of Shinobu's fruit

Roke Roke no Mi (Rocket-Rocket Fruit)...

Batchee cracking the Top 100 makes it all worth it.

The Moon is Uranus

The scholars of Ohara had a giant model of the world which showed multiple celestial bodies orbiting it. Either they truly believe in a geocentric solar system despite being...

I would hardly call an ability that has been around since the very beginning of the arc and a very focal point in the events of the first act a plot convenience. My main wish regarding its role in...

The Straw Hats are fighting the Tobiroppo and All-Stars. We already have the two weakest, Usopp and Nami, fighting Page One and Ulti. Right now Marco, Yamato, and Drake are the only allies that can...

Pretty sure Oda is setting us up to think or at least speculate that it's Toki, but it'll be Hiyori in the end. We have seen her tending wounds before after all.


Honestly the person who least...

So given that the Luffytaro and Zorojuro cards were released with the Index Set, I think (or at least, I hope) they aren't included in this set. Here's how I think it might shake out:

That moment when AP is down for 2 weeks and you have to rely on WorstGen for SBS leaks������

I was thinking a little about Fish-Man Island and how some fans didn't really like the reveal that Hody hated humans despite them having done nothing to him. However, if you think about it, Arlong...

Kaido's laugh in Japanese is ウォロロロ, when the O kana (オ) is small after the U kana that typically denotes a "Wo" sound. So the wordplay is still there, but not formatted in quite the same manner.

Pretty nice chapter. It being focused entirely on one scene was very refreshing.

Nice to get confirmation that Luffy was indeed using advanced Haki (seems more like the internal destruction type...

Aw yeah, no better excuse to reread the series again. I hope this movie is where they finally adapt the Sannoh game.

It's pretty clear that Saeki can't draw Luffy and Usopp, the two of them were barely in the chapter and were always obscured.

Pretty awesome chapter. A natural culmination of plotlines that have been built up for almost 9 years...unleashed through a powerful punch and the most notable time Luffy's declared his dream. As...

I greatly enjoyed Soul. The "soul world" and how it works is quite a bit more complex than any alternate world that Pixar's done before, and many of its elements raise questions that aren't super...

Best Moment of the Year: "He laughed"
Worst Moment of the Year: Kanjuro getting offscreened
Best New Character of the Year: Ulti
Worst New Character of the Year: Other than Yamato and the four...

I had wanted Sasaki to be an ankylosaurus, but I'll accept triceratops especially since Black Maria and Who's Who aren't dinosaurs.

I wonder what led Oda to choose the Rosamygale for Maria, from...

I'm going with Harry on this one, he got in a ton of shots on Luke and the Star Wars franchise while a lot of Luke's raps were just bragging about himself. Such a missed opportunity considering the...

Can't really say I feel sorry for Apoo. He decides to serve Kaido of his own free will and sell out others he meets to be pressed into service, only to get used as a pawn on a whim by Queen and...

I was waiting for the point when the episodes would have the same number as the chapters they're adapting, but looks like I missed it by a few weeks. Now to wait for the number of episodes to...

Turns out that techniques that work against fire attacks are slightly less effective against a 1 ton mace. And that it's a little harder to hit someone when A) they're not caught off-guard and B)...

I was told by multiple people that the events were clearly pointing toward an easy victory by the Scabbards over Kaido. What on earth happened? It is quite a twist from Oda to see this...

No break next week

Solid chapter overall, but nothing particularly stood out.

Not really sure what to make of the Usopp/Nami scene. It played out like some sort of climactic moment in a stage of the plot that...

Alex Trebek died today

I'm glad he could be at peace, but damn, this sucks. The man was one of a kind.

This probably won't happen, but I'd quite like to see one of the Tobiroppo (probably Who's Who if anyone) be a really advanced Gifter. It would at least give some credence that Gifters can elevate to...

Law did more to Doflamingo than the Scabbards have done to Kaido so far. As far as I know Kaido's insides haven't been turned into mush. Though I guess it's not much of an argument for someone who...

In response to all the power level arguing that's been going on, I want to point out that Kaido actually noted in this chapter that the Scabbards' abilities are baffling. Very much worth keeping in...

I can't believe it's been 5 years since I made an account here. 5 years! Though admittedly, everything past 2018 has been a blur to me. The Whole Cake chapter threads hold a...special place in my...
