Yeah you’re right my bad. Thanks for the save.

To add to this, it also has a very prominent, supporting cast of characters that develop over time (i.e., the crew of the the main character), whereas in many other manga, you’re often left wondering what happened to many of the characters.

In some of them you wonder where’s the main character.

Don’t think Oda would kill off Decken, but betting his power comes into play to finish off Hody

If there’s one word that describes One Piece, it’s consistency. In the 10+ years this manga has been in publication, Oda does not forget a single detail. The art style is an acquired taste, though.

Also, read Hajime no Ippo. :smiley:

If you want a comparison, I would say early Naruto (at best) is at least on-par with One Piece, otherwise OP blows both Naruto and Bleach out of the water. The storyline seems simple, yet it expands in certain areas that entices you to read on. One thing you’ll really notice (and hopefully appreciate) is that the humor in One Piece blends in with the style very well and isn’t forced like with what you see in Bleach and Naruto.

I see that is quite the positive response. I be sure to check it out.

(I am returned. Your eyes have been warned.)

Oh, Hodi. I’m just kinda expecting him to transform into Assy McGee before this arc is over. It’s going to be interesting see how people beyond him are going turn to out to be even bigger assholes.

Shoulder wounds are actually rather serious from what I understand, and considering how fast Vander Decken’s projects seem to go, even for her side, she’s probably bleeding quite a bit and it’s not like she’s physically strong to begin with, so…

…

…I concur.

Muttly laugh

Yeah, it should be completely hilarious seeing Usopp beat Zeo, especially since I bet it will happen completely by accident given there they’re nowhere near each other at present.

I don’t know. The way that Noah just started to plummet as soon as the axe hit makes me think he actually died unless his powers are also nullified by him being knocked unconscious or just in great pain.

Betting unconscious. Offing someone so casually isn’t Oda’s style, let alone the setup with Decken’s touch.

It wasn’t casual, he got stabbed through with a trident then slice through again with a large axe. I think his sudden death is a clear statement by Oda of what to expect in the New World.

If he’s alive he’s not sitting pretty.

2013 at the latest =V

That looks awesome. Can’t wait to get some better looks at it.

ATM I don’t like the faces and how they animate, they should get CC2 to help with animating the faces, they can do a spectacular job on it.

In certain cultures, stopping an awesome transformation sequence results in the offender getting tied down and getting his balls sawed off.

I thought they simply get erased from existence due to them violating a law of the universe: Never EVER interrupt a henshin/transformation.

Damn I missed the trailer.

As for henshin/ transformations I’ve always had a theory called ā€œshock and aweā€ where basically the enemy is perplexed or amazed by the audacity or sheer beauty of the transformation sequence that they wait to see the whole thing.

It’s probably why Sailor Moon doesn’t get drop kicked with her minute and a half transformation sequences. Seriously, couldn’t they just shoot her in the head while she’s twirling around?
