JUST TWO DADS DOING WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS BEST FOR THEIR BABIES
its always sunny screencap redraw lolll
Controversial Opinion.
The One Piece Anti's are actually CORRECT about One Piece having a bunch of overly-convenient powers being held by ladies, lately.
And I love it.
I love Tama and her ability to mind control literally ALL of Kaido's gifters, making her an unexpectedly central part of the protagonists' victory.
I love Jewelry Bonney and her ability to imitate Gear Five Luffy and help turn the tide of the current arc, and also control all Kuma-Fistas
I love Boa Hancock having just the right mix of powers and attractiveness that lets her Insta-KO entire armies, as well as some of the setting's most powerful characters.
Hell, if they're doing what I think they're doing with Catarina Devon, I even love that.
Powerful Mary-Sue-ish Ladies Sweep!
Damn, Asagiri must really hate father figures
I think these last chapters are underwhelming for folks because there was this false feeling that Shinjuku showdown was a meat grinder and people are dying left and right. Which is just not the case.
The shinjuku showdown post Gojo vs Sukuna was planned ad nauseam. The heroes took series of gambles and they worked. You know the "fever" and all that.
Majority of Shinjuku showdown was from Sukunas POV so we had the sense that he was winning cause he thought he's winning.
But the flashbacks were telling us that the heroes did plan for this. Yuta got even labeled for having an alphabet of plans by the fandom and they are not wrong.
Uraume even had an "nah I'd win" moment which should've been the telltale sign that heros were gonna win.
I guess the fandom didn't have the faith in everyone else as much as they had faith in Gojo... which... is on the fandom to be quite honest.
The thing is Sukuna was not defeated just by the power of Itafushi friendship but by the power of collective collaboration.
If you noticed Sukuna is always toying with his victims. Well Shinjuku Showdown was everyone toying with him and his ego to give him false sense that he's winning while gradually making him weaker. Which is also why they didn't go everyone all at once on him. But one by one in the order that makes sense for their techniques and so Sukuna will have that again false sense that he's winning.
Like you know the final boss of a video game you have to slowly grind down to beat.
Sukuna vs Gojo fight was a fight of egos. That is why it was 1:1. Because both of them had to show off and prove something to themselves and the world. Gojo even says he wants to show off for his students for crying out loud!
Jjk is also explicitly a critique of needing the strongest sorcerer. Which is why no one is sweating over the title now even though Yuta is technically the strongest currently.
I think one reread of these last 40 chapters that is done in good faith, without a need to create a theory or find mystical foreshadowing will fix like 60% problems people have with the series.
Going fucking insane about Dragon and Kuma today mayhaps!!!
(One Piece ch1101 Spoilers)
We know he has been watching Luffy over the years so he obviously cares and this is not surprising in the slightest. However, I think this scene is extremely important. Because it verbally confirms how much Dragon cares about Luffy. Luffy is his weak spot. And perhaps it's just my own issues but damn, hearing Dragon say this makes me go insane. And after seeing Kuma going through all that torture to protect Bonney? The mutual understanding between fathers? I'm going to cry.
CHUUYA DAYYYY !!,!,!
are the flags in the room with us right now
