Next chapter is gonna be hype. Shirahoshi reveal and the coming of Noir. My body is ready.
I live for these moments in OP. Don’t even get me started on when the Straw Hats enter the fray. I’m sure Luffy (and possibly the others) are hiding in Megalo, like some others have stated.
We shall see.
Says Oda had a “sudden illness.” I have never worried over someone’s health I’ve never met like I have today.
^_-;
Didn’t know about Oda getting sick. Hope he gets better soon.
Likewise. His job definitely takes its toll and working under those kinds of hours would bound to affect you mentally as well.
man, no human should work under a manga artists conditions. slaves get treated better.
It kind of shows just how much he loves his work. He’s already a multimillionaire and has achieved so much, yet only recently did he take his first month-long break in a decade! He clearly loves his work, despite how grueling it is.
We as people/fans have so many expectations for things, without realizing how much work goes into everything that’s produced, esp. in the entertainment industry. Thousands or hundreds of hours of work devolve into primitive vocalizations like “meh” and “eh” without a forethought.
A bigger influence on Oda would be Masaya Tokuhiro, who Oda admittedly borrows alot of ideas and styles from.
WHAT A DICK
[details=Spoiler]There has been speculation regarding Queen Otohime’s assassination and the true culprit behind it. Some thought it was the deception of the Celestial Dragons, some thought it was just a random human “doin’ it for teh lulz” and nothing more. However, looking back at the flashback chapters, the evidence was plain as day. Whenever, Hody made a brief appearance in the same scene as Otohime as she was doing her thing, trying to appeal to the citizens with the idea of coexisting with humans, Hody was looking extremely displeased. Not to mention the fact that Hody just HAPPENS to be the one who catches the perp moments after the shooting. In the end, it does make sense. Hody is basically Arlong turned up to 11, except he has been established as an even bigger scumbag!
You gotta wonder though, does that mean Otohime REALLY DID MANAGED TO SUCCESSFULLY REASON WITH A CELESTIAL DRAGON??? If so, then that’s even MORE reason to hate Hody Jones because he killed such an awesome character![/details]
:mad:
In regards to the chapter:
Chapter=632
[details=Spoiler]Haha, I found it hilarious how Shirahoshi was led into a trap by a bubble replica of Neptune, especially when Shirahoshi says, “Looking closer, that’s not father,” and Jinbei’s like, “Obviously!!!”
Like others here, I’ve always believed that Hordy was responsible for Otohime’s death (I found that whole scene with him “catching” the culprit and immediately declaring that a human killed the queen to be terribly suspect).
Hopefully Oda gets well soon.[/details]
.
the shocking reveal
[details=Spoiler]I suspected that Hody had SOMETHING to do with the incident, but he flat-out said something that I DIDN’T expect to hear… The human pirate was only paid to fire at the box of petitions and ignite them, Hody himself did the killing.
God, he’s such an asshole![/details]
I forget, when luffy said he wanted a crew of 10 … was that including him or not ? did he get all the “jobs” he mentionned before like cook, musician, etc … or am i missing something … this series been goin on too long :rock:
Brook is called “the 8th” in his joining episode or in the green databook. I forget which.

Wow this made my morning. It was cool to see Zoro’s VA and his manly voice, and Franky’s VA looks like Franky which is hilarious.
I wanted to see Tanaka’s rage Luffy voice but it was still cool, Chopper/ Nami’s VA was really the star of the video though, such range.
I need the Chopper sweaters for some reason now…
uh, so i just finished watching one piece anime, from ep 1 up to 500,
and i gotta say that,
i’m really and truly upset with the creator of this show, mr. oda, for ruining his own work!
and what made the show ‘jump the shark’ for me was the death of ace.
i mean, wtf?
now, its not so much the death of this particular character, its not like i was a fan of this character, i didn’t like him or dislike him, since he barely appears on the show, what i found broken about this character’s death was that it completely changes the FEEL and ATMOSPHERE of the anime.
this show ONE PIECE, watching it from its start to around where it is presently, i noticed that almost no one dies on this show. almost no one. not only do heroes not die, but even the villians don’t get wacked.
look at croc o dile, moria, buggy, etc…
look at the birdman from alabaster saga, and the other vivi generals/guards that fought croc o dile, just, just remember and revise your memory.
remember how every hero on this shit show …even when they are shown to literally get blown up or what not, with 0.0% chance of surviving a jobbing…and everyone assumes their character is done n gone, these characters somehow someway ended up ‘surviving the impossible to survive jobbing’ and reappear at a later time/date…mostly after luffy defeats boss(villain) that jobbed them…btw, defeated boss never dies too.
so, i’m watching the arcs before save ace arc…seeing that no one dies on the show, which is total bs when you can see that there is no fucking way to survive…(remember the old dude that helped luffy and company that had daughter give them a scooter that got lighting bolted by that god tier villain in that sky country? remember that miraculous "i just evaded said lightning bolt that took out an area like a nuke??? remember?)
…so i say to myself, "ok, i get it, its cheesy and its cornball that no one dies on this show, then i accept that Oda is trying to make it somewhat lighthearted in the anime/manga’s feel. ok. i accept it. no matter how ludicrous these miraculous aversions to death by these numerous characters.
no one dies to keep the work called one piece lighthearted.
so i reach the save ace arc…and i finished ep 500 today…and i’m just…just completely disillusioned with the show.
here’s why.
1)i like everyone else had to sit through something like 20+ episodes of watching luffy go through the hell of reaching level 5 of impel down(prison) to get to ace, only to find, he aintz there, so now he has to rinse n repeat the hell of going from level 5 back up to level 1,…still can’t catch up to ace…ok ok ok…
so now they reach marinefold…marine headquarters…and i, we ALL have to go through 40+ eps of watching luffy to to reach the executioner’s platform, while a huge WW2 type war is going on between Shinohige’s pirates and the Navy…
so after the EXHAUSTING 40+ episodes of watching an Ivankov-roided up Luffy running his heart out to get up to Ace…he reaches it, saves Ace, (thank god, not because i care that Ace lives, but that this waaaaaaay exaggerated drawing out of episodes to luffy saving his bro is finally over, type of relief), and they run back to pirate ships to escape.
magma admiral talks some shit to ace, ace turns around, gets immediately+easily jobbed,
by a fire-user no less!..makes sense said sarcastically
dies in luffy’s arms, luffy goes crazy.
What da F?
if ace is gonna die, don’t make us sit through 60+episodes of watching luffy running towards him for god’s sake. just decapitate homboy on the executioner’s platform. Mr. Oda, don’t draw shit out pointlessly. and have the arc end soooo anti-climatically. damn. i can’t believe i sat through all that drawn out and way over the top ‘save bro+pirate/navy war’ arc.
2)why kill off one of the most liked characters on the anime show/manga. i KNOW he musta gotten massive harte mail for killing off ace in the manga, it was a mistake to stick with that stupidity with the anime. they should have adapted or changed all that in the anime. he should have survived in the anime…it would have made 10000x more sense if he did.
and why start now.
why start with peeps dying on the show with of ALL people Ace, luffy’s bro???
if oda is gonna be having people dying on his show, why start there of all places in timeline.
why not have people dying since alabaster arc?? or the very begining since first 50 episodes,…why around episode 480 would you start jobbing characters? wut?
what is this? what is oda thinking?!?
3)after Luffy jogged 10,000 miles and fought 100 S-tier bosses to reach him, when they are 5 feet from a pirate boat and freedomz…Ace ends up dying in his arms,…
and causes Luffy to go bat shit nuts.
nah man. nah.
this.
this is soooooo the complete opposite of the feel and atmosphere of the ONE PIECE universe.
this does NOT belong.
seeing Luffy lose his mind…its just too dark!!! and creepy as hell, lol.
nah man.
tv show ruined bros.
Oda screwed this shit up big time, at least for me.
luffy, luffy is too innocent of a character to go through major mind bending trauma like this.
we all know Luffy is like Goku. they have innocence and pure hearts. they can’t experience shit like that.
i.e. they can’t be cheery and care-free after some shit like this.
and unlike goku, luffy has no access to dragonballs(ressurrection of friends)
that ability of being able to bring back fallen bros is the only thing that kept goku in DBZ sane.
luffy doesn’t have said luxury.
how is luffy gonna laugh and smile and be lighthearted and carefree after seeing his bro jobbed in front of him and die in his arms???
luffy, like you, me, and everyone else isn’t gonna recover from epic trauma like that.
its like if chichi got jobbed in front of goku and no dragonballs exist anywhere in dbz universe to correct said offense.
goku is either gonna go crazy, die of broken heart, or turn evil and go into murderous rampage mode.
he aintz gonna recover and start laughing and be cheery and merry after some shit like that. no matter how much time passes.
now, some OTHER character that is NOT pure or innocent in heart can recover from trauma like that, but carefree+lighthearted goku? nope. and luffy thats based on goku isn’t recovering either. that type of character doesn’t recover from shit like that.
yeah, i know, manga is way ahead of anime and luffy recovers…blah blah.
nah man. this one piece jumped the shark with ace’s death.
it doesn’t work.
show ruined.
everything after this huge mistake of changing the atmosphere to its complete polarity just doesn’t work at all.
Oda, gtfo!
Oda trolled us all hard with this one.
i know some of you are still fans of this show, but, for me. i have no interest in watching anything else related to this show ever again. i have no interest reading the manga either.
now if at the end of this One Piece, if Roger’s treasure has some magical object/propery/what not,…like a genie’s lamp, where luffy gets one magical wish and gets to wish his bro back and does…then maybe the save ace arc makes some degree of sense…
but i’d say the damage is done, for me at least.
i’m really pissed that oda fucked up the atmosphere of this show man. he went waaaay too dark with this arc. way way too dark and gloomy. totally does not fit with the previous arcs of the show. its not one piece anymore. it doesn’t mesh with the rest that preceded it.
makes no sense.
i’m pissed.
you can tell by the massiveness of this post. well, thats my 2 cents.
lol@ zorro’s va rocking green…is this like a power ranger thing where he only wears the colors of his character.
He had to do it.Luffy had never ever truly been defeated before and needed that failure to make him need to get stronger and realize he was a small fish in a vast ocean .some marines were tying with Luffy that were no names out there at marineford.Vice Admirals were tossing his shit like no tomorrow out there.Luffy was the weakest guy out there strength wise.Luffy needed that he realized he wasnt unbeatable
(Oh, right. There was no chapter last week. Anyone know if Oda is feeling any better?)
Sigh. Please don’t start an argument trying to convince Axl_m4ster. Talking to him is almost always a lost cause.
ok, i agree with everything you say.
its true Luffy needed that reality check, my point is that ace’s death HAS to change Luffy’s personality for the worse, not the better.
Luffy can’t be carefree and cheery Luffy anymore post-ace death. if Oda did keep him cheery, even after a 2 year year time skip, it wouldn’t make sense at all. luffy’s character wouldn’t be logical in being still cheery and carefree.
also,
@theDamned…
don’t be a dick. its just my opinion. your welcome to disagree with it, don’t be condescending.
oh, btw, i can only imagine how you were having a nervous fit when SRK upgraded and the multi-quote tab wasn’t available for you. and only you.
cuz we all missed your obnoxious and overbearing abuse of the multi-quote tab during that upgrade. sure we did.
let me break it down for you.
the trauma of Ace’s death affected Luffy’s innocent personality, like the way the absence of the multi-quote option during SRK’s upgrade affected your illuminating posts.
now do you understand?
Hey Bro.
Multi-quote.
Still works.
