    Fishman Island is one of my favorite arcs, but it definitely drags. It's funny because for some of these the flashbacks are the best parts and others... no... Fishman Island's only REALLY good part is the whole story around Fisher Tiger. THAT flashback made Tiger even MORE of a legend— going...

    Yeah that's fair, and there are real Garps out there— those are the things I like about Garp as well. Though I think he's gravely miscalculating how successful the WG actually is at protecting the average citizen; if anything world of OP shows Whitebeard and Revolutionary Army doing it better...

    I think the reason most (including myself) Garp haters see him as mid is that in a series all about *strong wills*, Garp doesn't really have any strong convictions. His form of justice, "My Justice," being charming but arbitrary. Or because he's so willing to 1) be the dog of the state 2) aim...

    This, completely. Garp, and every other Marine is extremely mid. That said, him having set Dragon free is an interesting twist— and probably the best thing he did for the entire world in the entire series. With that said... I hate that I feel the entire flashback arc has been extremely...

    We talking about objective moral weight or WG perspective? Obviously WG justice system in my mind has no bearing at all on actual justice.

    Jeez, this Big Daddy guy is on fire... new favorite alongside Lost Futures Lost Futures In this day and age, I refuse to watch ANY One Piece youtuber who isn't explicitly political and antifascist.

    It’s strange… Not gonna lie guys, Rocks seems like a based king. So far he’s almost identical to Roger as a character archetype, but even more based for the direct antagonism to Imu and Marie Joias. I think that before really getting into this actual memory arc we expected Rocks to be like...

    I think that the biggest thing that separates One Piece from other shounen, whether it be Naruto or anything else, including Dragon Ball, is most of all the motivation demonstrated by the author to take the story in a certain direction. One Piece has a mission from a storytelling perspective...

    lol Roger was not the man of legend-- he couldn't be the one. Because he wasn't AroAce enough to be a Shonen main character. lol

    Seastone has no affect on Haki and yeah no physical effect on non-DF users; but I think we know Loki is a user

    Being able to stand with seastone ankle on is nuts… Or maybe we should think of a band “that small” (it’s huge) as similar to the state Luffy & Aokiji were in when they met at the hot springs— Aokiji said he purposefully chose to meet them there to cultivate good will, with neither side able...

    Media My Hero Academia (new)

    So my daughter has been watching My Hero Academia (mostly because we reached the end of One Piece on Netflix and I’m still figuring out how to access the rest), and asked me, “who’s your favorite character?” Honestly I’ve read like 99% of the manga (tuned out just after Shigaraki’s defeat), but...
