If I'm just gonna speedread the text why would I bother? What's the point in reading a manga if you don't even look at the art aside from a quick glance?
This, I started the one piece manga yesterday and spent an entire 22 minutes reading just that first chapter with Shanks and looking at the art
You catch up faster.
lol, i was watching the ep from the first clip the other day and yeah holy frick they just standed around just staring on that fight
gonna check out this one pace thing
jesus even the one pace version feels ridiculously padded for Wano, doesn't he floor that guy in like 1 page of the manga?
Pre timeskip: Watch
Post timeskip: Speedread
>Manga's pacing is good but the art is becoming worse and worse to a point where some pages in Wano becomes genuinely unreadable
>Anime's art and animation skyrocketed with Wano but the pacing is so bad that each episodes only adapts one chapter at a time with some fillers thrown into the mixt
Pick your poison, really.
At least the manga currently has this beauty in it.
>this beauty in it
ftfy
Fished™
wait does it go all the way to egghead island somehow
also sauce
's art and animation skyrocketed with Wano
I never understand why people say this. The color palette changed a bit. Literally everything else is the same. Oh, and literally every attack now comes with a super saiyan aura.
>literally every attack now comes with a super saiyan aura.
That's because the animator in charge of it got assblasted by reddit hating on them and said he'd put even more of those in
This
Imagine how many other much better anime you could finish in the time it takes to get through hundred eps of the abortion OP anime.
I swear you guys don’t even look at the pictures

It's amazing how such a great and immensly popular comic can have such a garbage anime.
in general the manga is better. a few select instances are better in the anime, such as the opera at the end of WCI. without sound it's impossible to fully experience that.
it's not that surprising, most anime adaptions are garbage
the UI during battle is really shit in odyssey, just seems needlessly confusing
everything looks like shit to be honest.
I started to read One Piece last year but it's extremely boring and I HATE Luffy. I stopped when they introduced Ace but don't want to continue. Should I?
I mean, at this point, you probably shouldn't continue. Why force yourself to watch something you hate?
This game needs unlockable costumes
>Why force yourself to watch something you hate?
It's a very popular manga/anime and I wanted to know why. Tthere are still interesting ideas or moments (Usopp, Nami and Chopper's past) but most of the time it's meh. If it doesn't get any different I'll probably stop then.
>It's a very popular manga/anime
Over time, you will learn that what is popular might have some pull over you, but largely misses the mark. With anime, what's popular is usually absolute shit. Even if you find a niche series you like, Ganker won't post in your thread, and it will be buried under some flavor of the month series...that will also be forgotten in a month.
In a way that’s true but I also think people want more and more from long term popular projects and have higher expectations, and it’s very hard to say One Piece isn’t filled with interesting and continuously engaging content. Beyond that, we don’t always know what we or people are coming for, and if it turns out that enough people want the silly dudes and a big rubber punch every issue, one piece gets the job done
>my enjoyment of an anime is inversely proportional to how much Ganker talks about it
Popularity has no bearing on quality.
And yet you just used it to explain why popular things are bad and contrarian is good.
agreed, your statement here
>With anime, what's popular is usually absolute shit
is kind of moronic, since as you say popularity has no bearing on quality.
>This game needs unlockable costumes
I'm actually fricking pissed that they haven't clearly stated if there's going to be costumes or if the pre-order ones are the only thing they'll put in
im just always baffled why ever one piece game has the cast wearing the same costume still.
No stop save yourself
Every shonen mangaka are fricking hacks who just copy on whoever sell the most merchandise
Every arc is basically paced the same way, so if you find it boring now you'll never find it interesting. Also I'm not sure how anyone could hate Luffy, maybe find him annoying but not hate as he's very inoffensive as far as shonin protags go.
> if you find it boring now you'll never find it interesting
Good to know.
>I'm not sure how anyone could hate Luffy
He's an idiot who never listens to his friends or anybody. He doesn't care about them and only project his own values on everyone else. It's a hollow character. I understand what Oda tried to do but it simply doesn't work.
He’s a pirate with an instinctual will to freedom who only takes on crew mates that share or admire that will to freedom. All of the characters are self interested by their own dreams but work together due to shared ethics and motives. It’s the point of the show, you can be free and adventure through life with real friends by instinctively avoiding social prisons and actions that do not drive you towards your dream
>He doesn't care about them and only project his own values on everyone else
this c**t literally goes out of his way to helps his friends. Helping his friends is frickin 99% of the story. You're half way through an arc that is only happening because he has chosen to help his friend. Any person that was only self interested would not bother with alabasta in the slightest. You're frickin moronic and i dont know what youve been paying attention to.
Let's not forget, in the most recent arc Luffy was straight up ready to turn everything around and go find Vivi after she disappeared. Now that's a good friend.
Luffy wants to help his friends to the point where it's detrimental
He was ready to just stand still and starve to death when Sanji was having his family reunion
it's true, but the scene where sanji goes back to luffy makes it worth it to me
>>an idiot who never listens to his friends or anybody. He doesn't care about them and only project his own values on everyone else
now i know you didn't read or watch the anime/manga, multiple times LUffy has showed that is crewmates are more important to him than his own dream, his lack of interest on his friends is because no matter the situation all of them are gonna be fine, they are strong he has a strong faith in them
wow, never thought i'd see someone complain that Luffy wasn't enough of a garden variety moralgay.
just continue until "the once piece is real" for the memes, nothing post timeskip has been good enough
If you like cool characters/abilities, then post timeskip is better than pretimeskip, honestly. Big Mom's and Kaidou's crews make most of the other characters in the series look half-baked. Everything else is worse post timeskip, though.
The entire post-timeskip is terrible besides the Sanji/Pudding story on WCI.
No, the character designs/abilities are cooler. Most arcs have one single cool character: the main antagonist. Everyone else is a nobody. Once Luffy gets to Big Mom and Kaidou, their crews are made up of main antagonist tier characters. Oda put a lot of time and thought into making them because he wanted to give the impression that these crews are the real deal.
Crocodile and Enel look like lower ranking members of the Big Mom and Beasts Pirates. Cracker is the hierarchical equivalent of Bentham. Bentham is Jim Carrey in a tutu, he can change his face to surprise the enemy and kick - that's it. Cracker is a 10' tall bishounen with firecrackers in his hair with a giant sword who creates hard-as-steel biscuits by clapping, and he makes 25' tall biscuit soldiers with multiple arms and swords/shields which he can puppet around or hide inside, as well as turn the environment around him into biscuits.
There are minor characters who don't get fights in Big Mom's crew who have more detail in them than major characters from earlier arcs. It's honestly like comparing Akatsuki to any other Naruto characters.
>he thinks Cracker is cooler than Bon Clay
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Not writing-wise, but design-wise? Yes, by a mile. He's a side character, Cracker is one of the strongest pirates in the world.
The story went to shit, but Akatsuki are basically the only cool characters in the entire manga. It might be why the story went to shit, the series shouldn't have devolved into "fight Akatsuki until we find Sasuke," but that's besides the point.
It's not powerlevels, it's the amount of time the author put into crafting the character. There are plenty of characters in the current manga, even powerful ones, who are fricking lame. It's because they're not important antagonists.
Except that crocodile by now has a 2 billion berry bounty.
Cross Guild better get a decent role in something later on. Maybe the inevitable final fight against the Marines.
>It's honestly like comparing Akatsuki to any other Naruto characters
I don't even know what this is meant to mean considering Naruto went to absolute shit the moment Naruto started ragdolling Orochimaru.
what is powercreep
It's powerlevel inflation you moron, it happens with most media this long running that has battles in it.
Crocodile used to have a 80 million bounty, lower than current Nami, now he's at 2 billion. When he returns I expect he'll show of all 3 forms of Haki and awakening that would fodderize any yonko commander that isn't a Strawhat
Don't forget that Crocodile actually took on Whitebeard as an upstart and it's implied that's where he got his nose scar. Croc was never a slouch, he just needed some time to vacation in Alabasta and lick his wounds.
>Cracker is a 10' tall bishounen with firecrackers in his hair with a giant sword who creates hard-as-steel biscuits by clapping, and he makes 25' tall biscuit soldiers with multiple arms and swords/shields which he can puppet around or hide inside, as well as turn the environment around him into biscuits.
This is your example of an interesting power? this was one of the stupidest powers Oda ever made up, like even in one piece logic cracker soldiers make no fricking sense. Like making Chopperman a canon power with all the abilities of Superman because "Super heroes are usually human, so of course the human fruit had that power" would make more sense than the fricking cookie fruit making soldiers.
If you'd rather play Bon Kurai in a fighting game instead of Cracker, you're a homosexual and you're part of the problem with shounen fighting games. They have to get all the plot relevant/vintage characters in first and this bogs the character list down with the most boring, generic shit.
for a fighting game in particular, mr 2 would not be a very interesting addition, his character is what makes him good.
But that's literally what I said. I said One Piece was worse in every way post timeskip, EXCEPT the character design and abilities. I'd rather play a game as the 13th strongest Big Mom Pirate than the 2nd strongest Baroque Works agent. That is all I said and it caused the entire thread to start shitting their pants.
This is my observation: Oda loved Dragon Ball, but was upset that the light-hearted, gag-filled adventure of early Dragon Ball was scrapped for the bloody, dramatic fight-centric story of later Dragon Ball. Oda believed you could do both at once and so he did. He combined Lupin the III's characters with the Wizard of Oz characters and turned them into a pirate crew, because he loved pirates/vikings as a kid and thought they were ideal for an adventure story. He also wisely didn't make the mistake that Toriyama made, which was that he kept the powerlevels low and abilities diverse so the manga could last a long time. Dragon Ball's biggest problem (and the reason low IQ people love it) is that every character has the exact same power and fights are over before they begin because you can just measure their powerlevel. That's boring and only a fetus would find it interesting. Oda (and Kishimoto and Toriyama and Araki and Horikoshi and literally everyone) knew better.
They all suffer from the same problem of going to shit once there's too much money involved.
FighterZ but One Piece could be hilarious actually.
>Cracker is a perfect doll character
>Law can literally swap parts of his moveset with the opponent temporarily
>Luffy is just Dhalsim
>Sanji is ironically a blend of Cammys and Chun Lis kicks
>Brook has super low HP, but he heals passively while tagged out and can even come back to life from total defeat if his bar gets all the way to full.
Also would Franky or Chopper be the grappler? Usopp is obviously the zoner with various traps and projectiles.
Chopper would be a stance character with his forms.
Not him but you think that's more ridiculous than Mr. 3 and his wax candle bullshit?
"I CAN MAKE A CAKE THAT SPREADS WAX SNOWFLAKES THAT TURN YOU INTO WAX STATUES"
Paramecias that let you flat out create matter are all ridiculous, it all depends on the users ingenuity, like Katakuri preferring to ape Luffys moves. Cracker likely studied baking from one of BMs many kitchens because he knew it would be useful knowledge for his DF, he even mentions how skilled he is at crafting his soldiers.
Katakuri's way of fighting is the only reason he lost, I'm sure he fights like that against every strong opponent in order to make it a more "fair" fight in his eyes. Against a logia he would probably use an entirely different set of moves based on their way of fighting, the only move he showed that was really from his own skillset was his awakening ability.
I got the impression that the only reason Katakuri hamstrung himself and fought "fair" was because Luffy earned his respect. Katakuri agreed with Luffy that there is no fair or unfair in a pirate fight, yet he still did what he did.
Yeah I suspect he borrows Opera/Perosperos moveset when dealing with crowds, just a wave of mochi that immobilizes crowds.
well some of that is because devil fruits users were rarer back in the day + same with haki
I'm watching the anime right now from the start, 7 episodes in, this whole thing feels moronic.
It's like a worse Hunter X Hunter.
Keep buying these shit games anon.
what does UE have to do with it
it uses unreal engine and uses the default unreal lighting system and shaders.
Look at jump force. Shit looks fricking terrible
Why does literally every Shonen turn into DBZ
It’s because power and action are awesome special effects and a natural destination in the genre of evolving fantasy fighting. And each anime does it differently too, there’s literally no reason at all to be against it except to b***h, which is why you brought it up completely unprovoked, and probably because you’re witlessly copying the posts you read in yesterdays thread
We get it
You like shit homosexual
Lmao and how is it shit? Exactly when did you decide people flying around clashing and blasting people with lightning was ‘shit’
When people started to do the same shit over and over with no originality
It’s what people come for. You’ve got plenty of plenty of anime that does other things, how dull are you that you think animations of explosive fast fights should not be done anymore?
>my Chinese cartoons are actually good!
They are what they are, I don’t watch much anime at all, but when I do I don’t b***h they use the same lightning fast fantasy action I loved when I was a kid
>last good chopper moment was 17 years ago for Enies Lobby
>Franky last good moment was also during Enies Lobby
>Last good brook moment was 5 years ago during WCI
I fricking miss old one piece
>Franky last good moment was also during Enies Lobby
Franky vs Senor Pink was great
I'm sorry but it was shit
>Oda make a litteral sob story pulled right from what a women would write
>There nothing about Senor hinting about his wife before the flashback
>Still stay around hoes for some reasons
>Fight is just about sharing punches
>We all know Franky will win because he is the good guy
So at the end of the day what the fight gave to the reader?
There nothing new Franky pulled out to counter Senor pink power, not even a strategy or a way to punch harder
There nothing i've enjoyed about Pink
For me it was a joke fight and fricking shitted on the concept of what being a man
Unmanly homosexual
>he didn't like the Hogback fight
>or Franky fighting Buffalo and Baby 5
>Hogback “fight”
>Chopper calls him a shitter and then suplexes him off an arm tower
Was barely a fight
Brook's contribution and bonding with Robin in the BM fight was good
>Not using one pace
I'm on cake island arc, wonder if that's enough to play the game
It is.
It might be worth it if I didn't know the series doesn't devolve into chosen one where the once scrappy protagonist turns out to be the chosen one, a trope that seems to be more and more popular with big anime.
Naruto and Sasuke turning out to be Ninja gods reincarnated, Bleach's Ichigo turning out to be a mary sue mutt of every species/faction, MHA's Deku pulling several extra quirks out of his ass and now Luffy being the chosen one with a mythical zoan fruit, going from just a random rubber fruit he learned to use creatively.
Shit like this just cements shonen as being shit for children and completely kills any remaining interst I might otherwise have
>MHA's Deku pulling several extra quirks out of his ass
Based speed reader
Not that anon but as someone who's only up to the All Might vs all for one fight, is it worth my time to continue MHA?
only if you read the manga
>Bleach's Ichigo turning out to be a mary sue mutt of every species/faction
Kubo kino
But he still used his powers creatively. Nothing really changed about him personally; just the nature of his devil fruit. He still lost several times before he had to defeat the big bad. He still worked hard for all the things he did. Your jaded perspective of other shonen manga is blinding you to hate something if it doesn't go exactly the way you envisioned.
Cope, he literally can not lose anymore ever AND the lore got absolutely fricked since in the first chapter Gol.D said that anyone can get the One Piece.
Mate, i dropped MHA for being shit too, but you can't complain about Deku "suddenly being a chosen one" it was like the first fricking chapter when they made him a chosen one. He literal got THE STRONGEST POWER day 1, the fact that said power turned out to be stronger than he originally thought isn't something that changes him from an average joe to just now being a chosen one.
Yeah, Deku was quite literally chosen by all might to bear the power that defined an era of heroism
You're moronic
Deku says in chapter 1 that's it's the story of how he became one of the greatest heroes
Luffy was always the chosen one. You think the most important pirate in the world who was a member of the crew of the previous most important pirate in the world would give his blessing and his captain's hat to some random little kid? You think that fruit was placed on the table by accident and Luffy just "coincidentally" ate it when Shanks was fully aware that Luffy eats ANYTHING in front of him immediately? pay attention to shit.
>you think that fruit was placed on the table by accident and Luffy just "coincidentally" ate it when Shanks was fully aware that Luffy eats ANYTHING in front of him immediately? pay attention to shit.
Shanks knew very well what he was doing. Who is who was placed to guard the fruit and when world government found out it was stolen they lost their shit. Everyone involved knew it was the nika fruit.
Teared up listening to Bink's sake again. I just realized, that's the song they play when they've finally assembled the entire crew; basically that's when the adventure starts. Like 300 chapters in. One Piece is a beast.
What about jinbe?
I'm just scared for the Luffy fights going forwards.
Thus far it was Luffy having to use his arguably shitty devil fruit in clever ways and reinforce it with training to keep up with the power players he frequently went up against.
Now he just has the power of imagination, who's to say what he can't pull out of his ass to conveniently win fights now? Honestly the whole Nika fruit thing feels like Oda running out of new ideas for Gomu Gomu
oops wrong person meant to reply to
Yeah, I don't really care. At this points the fights are the least interesting parts of One Piece, I'd rather watch character interactions and the veil of mystery be pulled back. Nika works better for that than a scrappy little rubber boy.
Demo out yet?
Sometime today.
im already playing it in the eu
its ok
playing it already on my XSS, people says it runs 1080/30 on performance mode on PS5 but i swear to god it runs at 60fps that cant be right, right?
It's 60 clear as day, a YT analyst typoed 30 and all the morons who are incapable of judging for themselves started sperging out
i fricking knew it but 1080/60 fps is something that i espected for my console not for a ps5, i tough japanese devs prefered PS
Damn, last episode I watched was 804 apparently. Guess I could start up again. I can make it for launch right?
The launch is on 12th/13th and you got like 77 episodes to go until you are in good spot.
The production started when Whole Cake Island was ongoing.
Uta dlc when?
PUTA PUTA PUTA PUTA PUTA PUTA PUTA
Disgusting pig.
One piece was something I watched hoping it would get good and it never did.
How's the demo?
Wan piss is bad anon, don't do it. You're gonna end up disheartened and listless after the timeskip, not worth it.
>You're gonna end up disheartened and listless after the timeskip
Why?
What future DLC do you want to see from this game?
Jinbe party member
when can i expect nude mods?
>it’s a Ganker shit talks something amazing you just got into because they’re exhausted by after 100+ hours with it
Every time I go on here and am excited about something I can always find some angry dopes trying to tell everyone it’s all shit because they got tired after getting too much of it
youll find haters for literally anything anon, just enjoy what you enjoy
I know, it’s just funny and I have to watch out for it. How many amazing games and series are people just shit talking all the time because they got tired 600 hours in and want to tell someone who’s enjoying hour 10 he should stop and is gay because it gets boring at hour 200? Like it’s sad man a good chunk of this board thinks everything they were ever obsessed with and spent time on is shit because eventually they moved on
Watched all of OP like five times. Will watch again.
Only five?
Casual.
I'm at Punk Hazard, some people seem to really dislike it but I think it's good. Just got to Sanji vs Vergo.
I think a lot of the timeskip arcs get better when you can read them all at once rather than weekly.
PH had some really great stuff.
The new game looks completely devoid of SOUL just like the manga
I just finished the Sky Island Saga (manga). How bad does it actually get post-timeskip? Or is it doomsayers?
Also, is it me or does Enel look like Slim Shady?
Depends on how much you like the Straw Hats going on semi-random adventures without the overhead of the greater forces in the world interfering.
Most doomsayers are only active on ongoing arcs.
Even so, their ranting about pacing and length does hit true when arcs start to hit over 100 chapters. Longest arc thus far is 149 chapters.
Also, nah, it's just you, you crazy person you.
It's good just different. The issue is that right after timeskip there's the worst arc in the whole series but then it gets better and it's cool. You don't need my opinion tho, read it and enjoy or drop it if you don't.
It's consistently good until the timeskip. From there it goes from bad to worse. Fishman island, punk hazard, dressrosa, wano are terrible arcs. You could cut out 2/3 and not lose anything. Most of it is filled with characters making funny faces and run pointlessly from to somewhere to somewhere else most of the time. Battles are almost non-existent. There are either short, non-eventful skirmishes that end nowhere or end of arc fights that go on way too long.
Fishman Island is so inoffensivebly short that I still don't understand how so many people are so assmad about it. I guess if you're an animeonly or a fightgay but One Piece fights were always pretty middling
If you liked Skypiea you'll be fine. that arc is pretty indicative of how the series works from around then on IMO.
The hate for post-TS is overblown. It's just that the very first post-TS arc is easily one of the worst arcs in OP. Afterwards it gets significantly better, and eventually kino. Some of my favorite arcs are post-TS.
Although I've read everything recently, so I didn't have to wait weekly...
Punk hazard wasn't much better than Fishman, and Dressarosa was probably fricking terrible week to week but is decent as a binge.
I actually very much enjoyed Dressrosa. I loved Doffy as a villain and it cemented Law as one of my favorite characters. The rebecca/toy shit was kinda long though, so I couldn't imagine waiting weekly for that part
Fishman Island's boring "muh racism" and Punk Hazard feels like a parody of One Piece, both arcs have the Straw Hats just being dumb and wasting time until they finally reach the antagonists and one-shot them, because they over-levelled.
Dressrosa feels like it was meant to shit on Fairy Tale, but if you lean too hard into satire, you end up just becoming the thing you're making fun of; even Oda acknowledged he fricked up with Dressrosa.
Zou and WCI are good.
Levely is not a real arc, it's just a bunch of secondary characters wanking off Luffy while the Revolutiontrannies pretend they're characters. Wano is fricking irredeemable garbage and the point where One Piece finally jumped the shark.
tell me more about the dressrosa frick up, i havent watched fairy tale
when i watched dressrosa i just found it long but not bad
if dressrosa had half the episodes with the same amount of content, it would be a 10/10 arc.
I feel like it's just the Doflamingo fight that gets drawn out too fricking long, the other stories all seem fine at least in my memory.
Mashima, the author of Fairy Tail and a bunch of other manga, is an unapologetic Oda fanboy. His art looks almost identical to him and all of his characters are basically just One Piece characters. It is legitimately hard to read Fairy Tail if you've already read One Piece, because it is so blatant. Every mangaka takes (or shares) ideas with every other mangaka, but Mashima goes too far. The real difference is Mashima can't make lovable gonks. One Piece is full of characters who are weird shapes and Humpty Dumpty abominations, but these don't detract from their appeal (for me, it enhances it). Mashima can't do this. His weird characters are too weird and nobody likes them. As a result, Fairy Tail is like One Piece except 95% of the characters look like Luffy, Nami and Zoro.
When Dressrosa began, fans thought it was poking fun at Fairy Tail. Around that same time, the Fairy Tail characters stole from a pirate crew and they got into an argument about how it's fine to steal from pirates, which fans took as meta, so they thought Oda was doing the same. As soon as the Straw Hats enter Dressrosa, they get told about how the island is plagued by "fairy thieves" and the overall design of the island, with everything being whimsical and magical, is reminiscent of Fairy Tail's setting.
This stopped being funny to me when Sabo came back. I dropped Fairy Tail because it was boring garbage, but when I tried to come back I heard Natsu's childhood friend was revealed to have never really died. I never imagined that Oda would end up doing the very same thing. Natsu having a dead friend he never brought up was like the only thing potentially interesting about him.
This has nothing to do with Oda's reflections on the arc.
What Oda said was that he had ideas for multiple storylines (oppressed dwarves and Doflamingo's tyranny) and he shoved them together, and he ended up regretting it because it felt like too much for one arc.
Fairy Tail's "quirky" characters were such gems as "middle aged fat gay man in a rubber body suit who farted hundreds of times an episode and called it his perfume"
>This stopped being funny to me when Sabo came back.

Everyone who saw the Sabo flashback after Marineford saw Sabo coming back from a mile away. There was no other reason to introduce that character.
>His art looks almost identical to him and all of his characters are basically just One Piece characters. It is legitimately hard to read Fairy Tail if you've already read One Piece, because it is so blatant
I haven't experienced this even once to be the case
>I haven't experienced this even once to be the case
You're either joking or moronic. This is what I found just by googling it. If you asked me 13 years ago when I actually read Fairy Tail, I could hit the character limit with all the shit it takes. I do remember that for example this picture compares Franky to that speedster homosexual, but actually there's a Franky ripoff in the Fairy Tail guild itself: Elfman. Elfman is also an adult with PopEye arms who's constantly screaming about manliness.
I remember one time explaining battle shounen to my zoomer cousin and when I told him Fairy Tail was basically a One Piece ripoff, he immediately mocked it, but I told him it DID have a good sense of humor. I then recalled a bunch of funny moments from Fairy Tail, but as I said them out loud, I realized they were ALSO taken from One Piece.
I forgot about Gildarts to be honest, but outside of him only the Lucci expy and the Kuma one seem similar. The others are a hard reach
lol. a decade ago before i watched op i used to think fairy tail was just another manga by oda
>Ghost Paizuri and Ghost Blowjobs
How can other girls compete with the perfection that is Perona?
The first 450 chapters are kino. The series then becomes hit or miss with a gradual decline on average. The absolute worst section of the manga is 960-973 and it struggles to recover from it The series officially jumps the shark in 1044.
I got bored on anime right after underwater city arc and on manga around dressrosa, multiple chapters and episodes that amount to nothing
Dressrosa padding is abysmal and fishman island is medicore. Use OnePace to watch it post timeskip. Frick the purists.
>Use OnePace to watch it post timeskip
Does OnePace not adapt the manga as closely as possible? What difference is there from just reading it?
Slow slow slow slow pacing. Drawn out. Too many reaction shots. I love One Piece though don't get me wrong. Toei is just shit a lot.
Sorry, the anime itself fits those descriptors. One Pace alleviates them without losing context. More like manga pacing.
>What difference is there from just reading it?
Some sequences, and I'd go as far as say some arcs, are much better animated. Especially if it's paced correctly.
>watch one piss
I tried getting back into one piece via 'one pace' which makes the anime episodes actually digestible but I can't. Fishman isle is so fricking awful. This show really dropped the frick off.
Fishman island is skipworthy even for the manga, there's not really anything of substance there
Shirahoshi is an extremely important character without whom One Piece literally can not be found so you are wrong.
Ok so tell people that there's a fish b***h who'll turn up later to do something important because the plot literally cannot move on if she's not present, and then tell them to skip fishman
Ok I'll also tell them to skip dressrosa because nothing happens apart from them beating doflamingo and also skip wano because nothing happens apart from them beating kaido. There, 300 chapters easily skipped.
Dressrosa should indeed be skipped. Reading the epilogue is enough, other than that it's bootleg Alabasta with bootleg Crocodile
>bootleg Crocodile
He was explicitly more effective than Crocodile at what he did
Not really. Crocodile actually manipulated the people through charisma. Doflaimgo relied on his asspull devil fruit and Sugar's devil fruit
>doffy didn't have charisma
so you just didn't even get that far in the series, huh.
>raging manchild that relies on secret knowledge to keep CP at bay and random grown men giving him a DF
>charisma
kek
At least he was loved and respected by his crew and he cared deeply for them. Can't say that about other OP villains.
It kicks off the conflict with the Emperors, identifies an Ancient Weapon, establishes Jimbei as a future crew member, and demonstrates the Straw Hats new abilities. That's not enough?
Does your gamestop force you to watch it before you're allowed to buy any games from it?
I wish Robin was my mom
don't watch the entire thing
just watch the canon stuff without the filler.
Watch the first 325 episodes.
Then read chapters 442 to 902.
Then read this Revolutionaries are trannies, there's a secret leader of the WG named Im who wants Luffy, Blackbeard and Vivi dead and he has a giant straw hat in a freezer, the Yonkou were all in a crew together called Rocks and fought a WG-Roger tag team 40 years ago, Sabo is in a perpetual state of death bait, Wano is just nip wank, Momosuke and his retainers were sent to the future from 20 years ago and all their friends are dead/old, the Beasts Pirates do nothing but get their asses kicked, Kaido's fruit is the Magikarp/Gyarados Zoan, Luffy is the chosen one and the WG start pissing and shitting themselves after his fruit awakens (Gear 5th) they realize it's not the Gomu Gomu no Mi but a Mythical Zoan they consider the most dangerous fruit in the world, the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, the Sun God, and his awakening gives him The Mask powers. Green Bull shows up to Wano, he has a plant Logia, but Shanks scares him away for no reason. Carrot doesn't join, the Minks make her their leader for no reason. Jinbe shows up and joins for real this time, he swears the others are fine but we don't see them. The Straw Hats meet Vegapunk and he's Albert Einstein with the Brain fruit and he's split his massive brain into six extra bodies Pain-style. He made brown e-girl/shota versions of the Shichibukai which all have artificial Devil Fruits and robot powers. The WG want him dead now for some reason and Luffy kidnaps him. Law runs into Blackbeard, his crew's fruits suck. The series is almost over, but it's so bad now who cares what happens.
Friendly reminder that Vivi is best girl, a Strawhat and the crew diplomat
Man, the scene where they bury Merry always make me tear a bit.
>No Carrot
NO BUY
Top 8, Queen of the Beasts.
I can't believe she's gone...
Uta may be shilled but she's also pretty hot so it balances itself
It's shit so don't bother. Protip Luffy didn't eat the rubber fruit. In fact the rubber fruit doesn't even exist.
>In fact the rubber fruit doesn't even exist.
It did until Oda ran out of ideas for it and just decided he should have a different fruit now
>It did until Oda ran out of ideas for it and just decided he should have a different fruit now
What really irks me is that the whole cartoon world shit could've just been the rubber fruit's awakening. Like why not?
You mean like haki didn't exist before Oda invented it and after he did, everybody and their mom started using it? Can you imagine nobody from CP0 including Rob Lucci were haki users?
Playing the demo now and the artstyle is kinda ass, animations are stiff at best and the battle UI is absolute dogshite.
Reminder that Luffy was destroying CP0 until he decided to stop fighting so they could protect themselves from CP0.
he beat the door-fricker with gear 2 but wasn't the tiger guy actually too strong
Just about seeing as he was completely whipped even after beating Lucci
I'm talking about the literal latest chapter. Luffy was outright low diffing Rob Lucci to the point where even Lucci himself said he couldn't do anything. Then suddenly Luffy was escaping with everyone else to the roof to protect themselves against Lucci who was now coming up with a plan to assault the roof where everyone (including Luffy, the guy he literally cannot even land a hit on) is.
This manga is trash.
Isn't that actually good writing, though? If Lucci went, "OH NO, HIS POWERLEVEL IS TOO STRONG FOR ME!" that'd be shit writing. That's Dragon Ball tier. A real person would absolutely believe they can do something.
Especially since Luffy's abilities keep causing him to deflate like a balloon and require recovery. Lucci walked away from their fight, Luffy looks like a shriveled prune. And Lucci is one of the few people who know his fruit works that way.
What did he mean by this?
>the next chapter
>I refuse to accept Strawhat as a Yonko
Luffy literally gave him braindamage
again I must say, PAY ATTENTION. there is one statement that is made probably over a dozen times by different people throughout the story; a marine has to kill or capture a pirate, a pirate does NOT have to kill a marine, they will do whatever the frick they want. Luffy specifically got his ass beat by Bellamy because he made the decision that the fight wasn't something he cared about. Lucci is currently so far below Luffy that Luffy literally wrote him off as not worth fighting, and just left. maybe he felt bad for him because he used to be strong, maybe he wasn't in the mood to fight him, the reason doesn't matter, all that matters is, pirates are free to do whatever the frick they want, the whole point of this entire series is "freedom good, rules bad".

REEEEE
Isn't there a demo today? Consolegays?
Yes it's out and it's pretty good. Combat is turn based kino, you can switch characters in battle on the fly, use weaknesses and other strategic elements.
Thank you. Can't even talk about the VIDEO GAME in here, it's infested with brain damaged anime arguments.
I like the One Piece dub.
i watched the sub because i aint reading 1000 eps of subs, if i wanted to read i would read the manga
well i do find the voice acting good except for luffy whom i was hoping would change the voice a little post timeskip since he grew a little older, he has the most annoying voice and sadly is the main character
This. Luffy's dub voice is too, what's the word, strained?
Wait, I don't get it. Formerly the Yonko were Big Mom, Kaido, Shanks, Blackbeard and Buggy. But that's 5 people, not four.
Frick are you on about? The Yonko were Big Mom, Kaido, Shanks, and Whitebeard. Whitebeard died so Blackbeard was slotted in. Now Big Mom and Kaido died so Luffy and Buggy (through a technicality) were slotted in. We're still at 4
Buggy was made Yonko before BM and Kaido were defeated.
No he wasn't, he was literally announced as a Yonko along with Luffy after Kaido and Big Mom died
no, he was a warlord, then they got rid of that shit so he became a regular wanted pirate, then the emperor system was established, big mom and kaido got bonked, and buggy became an emperor
>Pre-timeskip
Big Mom, Kaidou, Shanks, Whitebeard
>Post-timeskip
Big Mom, Kaidou, Shanks, Blackbeard
>Post WCI
Big Mom, Kaidou, Shanks, Blackbeard, Luffy
>Now
Shanks, Blackbeard, Luffy, Buggy
>Buggy
I need to read it again
wtf
Mihawk and Crocodile teamed up to make a Marine hunting organisation that also involved Buggy. Someone in Buggy's crew designed the poster and put Buggy's face front and centre, which the Marines interpreted as meaning he was the leader.
Going off bounties the yonkou should be Mihawk.
Mihawk can't beat Buggy in a fight, so obviously Buggy should be the leader.
I mean he could just punch the shit out of him.
You know his Sword Autism would never let him do that. He carries around shit like that tiny dagger he used on Zoro because he can't imagine fighting without a sword. If he fought bare handed he'd probably try to scratch using his fingernails hardened through Haki or something.
Mihawk used that tiny knife to be as insulting as possible and demonstrate the difference in swordsmanship ability between them, my guy. Also he could just turn his sword on its edge and slap Buggy with the flat side.
I mean, he didn't do that the last time they fought for one reason or another, so presumably it wouldn't work.
Can buggy even die by falling? i feel like the worst that would happen is he breaks both his feet but the rest of his body is fine.
eventually you will reach either ocean or molten rock, depending on how far you fall.
Right, but his body would be able to float whatever distance above the lava, his feet aren't going to be denser the lava so they'd stay on the surface even after they melt.
Mihawk could probably just cut the continent under Buggy and let him fall to the center of the planet and die, realistically.
Going off bounties the Yonko should be Mihawk, but going off of funding it should be Crocodile. That's why Buggy being the Yonko because of a henchman propaganda poster is so hilarious
neither Mihawk nor Crocodile care about or even want to be the yonkou, they probably are happy they have a patsy frontman to take all the blame.
They were very vividly pissed at being portrayed as Buggy's subordinates
>they probably are happy they have a patsy frontman to take all the blame
Well yes that's literally the conclusion they came to after the initial surprise.
They say basically exactly that after getting pissed at Buggy for making them look like henchmen. Then they realize he takes all the heat coming their way and mellow out
Just like I predicted back when they disbanded the Shichibukai, Buggys Dispatch was going to assimilate some of them, specifically Mihawk.
Think about it, Buggy just has this charisma, even Ace partied with him that one time they found him at sea.
>>Post WCI
>Big Mom, Kaidou, Shanks, Blackbeard, Luffy
I still find it funny Luffy got that spot at first because Big Bird really wanted to push that angle. I need more of this guy
yeah the demo is out
>buggy
>yonko
>check google
>it is no joke
jesus frick, did oda got brain damage since I read this?
Buggy has been failing upwards since Impel Down. Where have you been?
Kaido and Big Mom aren't emperors anymore.
Current emperors are Shanks, Luffy, Buggy, Blackbeard.
Did the manga ever reveal Crocodile's secret Ivankov was threatening him with?
No, but they still could at some point
No, it's one of infinite plot threads that Oda sets up but never actually uses. Remember the Nidai Kitetsu just disappearing?
He was originally a woman named Monkey D Ila
Odyssey came out 16 years ago, silly
Isn't there a demo today or am I tripping?
>DBZ with pirates
When did you realize Oda was a hack?
Playing the demo made me not want to buy the full game. Also, what an absolutely moronic reason for all the strawhats to lose all their abilities.
I would've gotten it but outfits being seemingly limited to pre-order is a subhuman move
What makes you sure they are?
Because the only ones they've shown and advertised are the pre-order ones
I would pre-order for outfits but they also give you gold and items, that's cheating.
One Piece is Scripture.
>reach raftel
>it's just a giant Bible, the WG are israeli satanists from the moon
kino
Did you mean Laugh Tale?
It's a barrel of sake that hadn't finished ageing when Roger arrived.
Laugh Tale is pic related, Roger was just moronic and believed Masuda's lies would come true in 20 years.
One Piece for sure has stuff from the Void Century that WG doesn't want people to know about, so I wouldn't be surprised if it called them and the Celestial Dragons scum
I thought we were in agreement that it was ''One Piece'' of history. Most notably that which the WG tried to erase
I like the theory that you blow up the red line, the water level lowers, more of the planet is land, and continents are actually connected. The red line is manmade so this seems plausible. Plus space pirates.
I like that, it also plays with a theory i saw a long time ago that blowing up the red line would make "All Blue" when the four oceans came together to fill in the hole where Fishman island used to be.
Remember the "theory" that devil fruits had something to do with the Adam and Eve trees and Goda was using Biblical imagery? Haha, no, fruits just exist because people wanted them to.
https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Sunlight_Tree_Eve
Fruits probably originated here, from people's dreams.
the war had several levels to it, one side had DFs, the other side had seastone and haki. since the seastone was deliberately spread throughout the ocean, there's a good chance DFs were what the planet had to defend itself, and seastone/ancient weapons/haki were what the moonmen used to win.
So what i'm hearing is at the end Enel is going to show up with a bunch of space police that hate the Celestial Dragons for stealing all their weapons and fleeing to earth.
I read all of Fire Punch in one sitting, I'm sure I could catch up on One Piece in six months
I fricking hate Yamato so damn much and I am so happy troons got BTFO
Tranji fans ww@?
would troony land be scary to live in as a straight man? most of them don't seem like the rapey type but at the same time they would constantly be trying to put you in a dress and shit. given the alternatives there are probably a lot of worse islands to live on, like lightning rain island or dressrosa or "giant elephant that causes a massive flood twice a day".
>This won't have any Gear 5 shenanigans
end me
This demo is horrible. Avoid the full game at all costs.
>This demo is horrible
How so.
Ugly art style, bad combat, corridor level design and it clearly has no budget.
yeah please elaborate on any gameplay issues
Reminder that within the first few chapters the Marines/WG became aware of an unknown pirate with a devil fruit that made his body the same as Nika's, but they simply chose to do nothing about it.
Reminder that even Sentoumaru, Vegapunk's second in command who likely also knew there was no such thing as the rubber fruit, didn't comment on this.
Because One Piece is shit.
Hasn't it been said multiple times that they don't know every devil fruit in existence? Even CP9 didn't know what fruits they had until they ate them.
800 years is a loooooong time.
it's actually illegal for people outside of select researchers and the gorosei/celestials to know what the ope-ope secret ability is, and the nika-nika is even a step further where they actually erased the fact that it even exists; until it awakens, it is just the rubber fruit, after all. joyboy is what they fear the most, it's better to not shine -any- light on it whatsoever, if they suddenly captured a random no name pirate with excessive force, somebody would notice and potentially start asking questions. they were hoping they could either wipe Luffy out in a situation like marineford (where they went absolutely ham on him and in fact Kizaru risked marine HQ getting wiped out by attacking the sub after Shanks told him to stop) or another pirate killing him.
Enel is absolutely coming back, frick the doubters
>Enel is absolutely coming back
Without a doubt. He'll end up right in front of Luffy, have PTSD, and go back to the moon.
The way I understood it there's a rubber fruit and a Nika fruit that acts as the rubber fruit until awakened. The Gorosei, as most corrupt people in power out of touch with reality, hedged their bets wrong
>The way I understood it there's a rubber fruit and a Nika fruit that acts as the rubber fruit until awakened.
There is no rubber fruit. Gomu gomu was a fake fruit. It was always the hito hito no mi model nika. Watch all of Luffy's fights, he's a western cartoon character in mannerisms and fights throuhgout the entire series. He even experiments with goofier and goofier attacks because it's in his nature.
Also the reason the fruit chose him.
>he's a western cartoon character in mannerisms and fights throuhgout the entire series.
that's almost every one piece character
Well sure, One Piece is a western cartoon turned into anime. Luffy is the bet example in the story is my point.
>There is no rubber fruit
There has to be one, it's literally in Vegapunk's explanation of DF's. If a person desired it then it could have become reality.
Vegapunk says there's no record of a gomu gomu fruit.
and to be fair, the fruit has obviously been possessed by random people for over 800 years and it has never awakened a single time, the risk was very low they just got incredibly unlucky.
>start watching One Piece on RTL 2 when i was like 10-11
>im still watching and now im 34
zoomers will never understand the magic of One Piece
Literally learned German because of RTL2 anime slot. Airing kino like Detective Conan, Inuyasha, One Piece was just an added bonus
my homie, me also
the glory of the RTL2 anime days, come from school and whole day just anime
One Piece is irredeemable shit. I gave it a solid attempt and dropped it for good at Thriller Bark. I'm embarrassed I didn't drop it sooner but I thought surely there must be something that makes this one of the most popular manga/anime in the world? If you like One Piece you are either a literal child or read it as one and kept with it out of sunk cost and/or nostalgia.
I've been rewatching One Piece once per 2 years since 2005.
I'm sorry it's not Dostoevsky, anon.
Jannies saw actual discussion on a topic and set it to autosage lmao. Not enough e-girl spam for you homosexuals?
Anyone who is both a one piece and dragon quest fan care to share their opinion on the demo? Animation looks pretty bad from the little I've seen on twitch.
Is Buggy actually the most giga galaxy brain character in the whole series
remember that scene where denjiro though kinemon was a genius for saying to go to the wrong gathering point to throw off the traitor's report? buggy's entire life is that moment.
Buggy will be your pirate king.
