finally got back into watching some more. I had stopped because I thought Thriller Bark was a little slow but it’s definitely picked up. Moria is probably my least favorite main antagonist so far so I’ll be happy to see him get his ass kicked (just got to the part where Kuma shows up and offers help and tbh I might like the politics/world building more than the fights haha)
it's valid to think that as thriller bark doesn't have any emotional stakes compared to the plight of alabasta, the struggles of skypieans and shandorians, and the very personal battles in water 7. that said, it does have a couple good and important moments, and some things that are mentioned that come into play waaay down the line so you'll be like "aye it's from that time!" i think unlike in the other arcs, we don't care that much about the people who're tryna get their shadows back. enjoy your relaxing time with it though :D
this is suuuuper interesting to me after 1096 too. I assumed the bible was just an aesthetic thing from oda like when there were real animals in old pokemon anime but the increasing prevalence makes me curious to look back and see if theres any christianity represented in other ways throughout the story that connect to kuma. love everything with kuma and bonney so much, some of my favorite side characters.
I mean Mihawk has a crucifix and when the strawhats heard about Enel on Skypiea, their idea of God was basically the biblical God. The depiction of Jay Garcia's demon form is also a rather biblical demon. The Satan worshippers who "summoned" Brook, I mean if there's a Satan, there's gotta be a God too. So I was always rather confident about Christianity being a thing in One Piece. It may actually become important at some point
don’t do the math on how many episodes I’ve watched since last week
i meant it phoopes now have fun being on the edge of your seat for like 50 episodes back to back
Were they not kinda since a long time ago? But sure this chapter flashback/backstory further fleshed them out as such.
Tbh Ancient Zoans are already way op, if SMILEs could replicate them too Kaido’s army would be wayyyy too strong.akainu incoming. should give more meaning to his encounter with kuma recently, and how he talked to bonnie after marineford. also his beef with dragon, which means we might also see dragon finally do something?
im very curious about wtf is going on cos doesn't look like bonnie has been born yet but she met vegapunk at some point as a child and she remembers grown up kuma dancing with her. if something happens to ginny now i don't expect her to give birth to bonnie afterwards so is the bonnie = ginny theory really gonna come true? that kuma removed her memories. or has bonnie just stayed at sorbet kingdom this whole time?
at reverie when she became a granny someone recognised her as sorbet kingdom's royalty yet now we know kuma family isn't a noble lineage so i wonder if there's any meaning here, or was it just a random guard and he didn't wanna question someone who looked important.
luffy was born 3 years after kuma joined dragon and 5 years before whatever this incident is gonna be. dragon also got his tattoo in that time. maybe it has some meaning related to luffy's mom. or it's just something luffy drew with his poop that dragon really thought was the coolest shit (yes) ever.
"you'll not regret joining me" -> "ginny has been captured"
i wanna see the moment when kuma is actually crowned as "tyrant king".
why the fuck did the smiles made for kaido's army, who has a severe dino/dragon/reptile fetish, not have dino smiles. im very disappointed
We've seen how long and hard Luffy had to work to make his DF useful and how much more work and time went into him awakening his fruit. Momo has been struggling with his abilities too. I think mythical Zoans have an immensly high power floor with an even higher power ceiling
I don't mean perfect replicas I just wanted to see some funny dino-SMILEs. Also Oda trolled us with the Tobiroppo fights so I have zero respect for ancient zoans!
God Revolutionary Army had its ass saved by Kuma finding Paw Paw and not the Azure Dragon. Their future leaders would have died lol
kuma magically got away from big mom immediately ran into saturn got away from saturn and then was able to send 500 other people away from the island which requires physical contact minutes after eating the fruit and escaped himself as well. with that level of plot armor im sure if he ate the azure dragon fruit he'd immediately be able to generate the clouds and fly everyone away. it would just be less low profile and more people would've noticed that
