One Piece

[choknater]

wow haha

cmon bro

 

[Phoenix Lord']

Oda's good at what he does. I would have never thought that I'd end up loving Dadan, but now she's one of my favourite side characters.

 

[NinjaFoxX]

I really don't care for otohime...she's annoying >_>. ***** needs to die. So does her kid. Crybaby.

wrong wit you?

 

[theeboredone]

 

[Bowser King]

Now look what you did....

 

[DerpDaBerp]

D 'oh

 

[theeboredone]

New chapter woot woot.

 

[Reizilla]

...............

 

[DerpDaBerp]

While Vander Decken doesn't seem to be strong enough to be this arc's bad guy, I think the satisfaction when he's beaten will have a properly large impact.

 

[NinjaFoxX]

just watch ep. 499.

i dont remember the naguri guy in the manga, well OP tends to have canon fillers now but thats why i enjoy it...


edit:just read the latest chapter

Spoiler

i didint cry when she died, i almost did though when everyone started putting in their signatures before it...

 

[theeboredone]

I really don't take time to let the emotions sink in when I read a manga. If anything, I read them pretty fast, so overall I don't get emotionally involved from that perspective.

Then again, I don't think I've ever felt much from reading books...movies and anime are more impactful to me cause I have to sit there and watch the whole scene.

I probably would have cried if I wasn't at the doctor's office. When the princes started cheering up Shirahoshi is what got me.

Oddly enough, that's the exact same part where I felt emotional too. The dieing did nothing for me, but the signature part did. Pretty weird.

 

[asianaussie]

This did not affect me because the emotional magnitude of this scene is weak compared to some of One Piece's better scenes.

If it were in any other manga, though...

 

[NinjaFoxX]

thats OP for ya though, pretty much every character even doomed ones, can still maek you sad....

 

[Thino]

well I think everyone started reading this flashback mentally prepared that Otohime was gonna die anyway , so its normal that it didnt come as a surprise

if I had to mention the part that affected me the most , its prolly the one where the two princes try to sing to calm down Shirahoshi while their mom is dieing

 

[choknater]

yeah, the signature part and the singing princes was super intense.

otohime wept because the people who ignored her before are now supporting her because of her sacrifices.

the princes fought their tears to protect their sister IMMEDIATELY after their mother was shot. they are hilarious looking characters but sheesh, talk about previously unnoticed characters showing some deep heartfelt resolve!

really emotional stuff! last chapter got to me. i agree with you guys that it was those moments rather than the death that actually had an effect

 

[theeboredone]

As you said, I can't take those brothers seriously cause of how hilarious looking they are. So when they started crying...eh...lol.

 

[choknater]

haha, it did make me laugh, but still touched me

 

[Grandeza]

I'll be honest. Otohime struck me as a very annoying character. I sympathized with her plight for signatures but honestly, she sometimes pissed me off. But this last chapter really changed all that. got me a bit teary towards the end.

 

[choknater]

hm, perhaps her persistence was meant to come off that way. there was a reason why the whole island became apathetic to her. it just kinda became noise. it was her persistence for her cause that made a change though, but it was also the thing that got her killed

if there was a crazy lady pestering everyone in a town square, i'd probably be annoyed too. but if she's speaking truth...!

;_; otohimeeee

 

[Thino]

new chapters out !

that was a really good flashback that introduces us well to the arc now , usually I hate flashbacks but this one was , I'll say, useful.

lets go deep down inside now with this convenient hi-tech denden mushi out of nowhere , gotta love Oda lol

sadface tho for no chapter next week , but E3 will fill the gap

 

[theeboredone]

Why is there no chapter next week? Holiday?

In any case, nice chapter. Figures Nami would forgive him openly...Sanji though -_-....

Lolz at Luffy missing the plot. Now he's gonna beat up the villain without having a clue why.

 

[Reizilla]

Luffy doesn't know anybody's story though. He always does that xD

 

[theeboredone]

Well, he sort of understood Nami's story and why they needed help when he rescued her vs Arlong. Alabasta...when he met with Chopper. Sky Island, sort of. This one he just slept through LOL.

 

[asianaussie]

Luffy: YOU HURT MY FRIENDS AND OR THE PEOPLE I JUST MET AND WERE NICE TO ME. I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! ROAR SHOUNEN PROTAGONIST SMASH!

Mangaka take occasional weeks off to prepare chapters. I'm not complaining, because One Piece will just get better.

 

[Phoenix Lord']

Don't worry, Oda's probably just taking off for "research".

 

[choknater]

haha. luffy has a good heart and recognizes the villain right away, not because of their political backgrounds and the grandeur of their schemes, but because he knows they hurt others. i think that's what oda is trying to emphasize by always having him fall asleep during the back stories. if they aren't important to luffy, but luffy gets it right, then he's telling us that luffy is immediately seeing what really matters

 

[Dru2]

choknater knows his luffy.

hey guys, i remember posting here a few times. I'm gonna try to be an active poster in this thread.

 

[choknater]

hehe. luffy doesnt have to be smart to do the right thing and be a hero

 

[theeboredone]

Someone should try manipulating Luffy to do the wrong thing. Like when he thought the Baroque Hunters were good guys LOL.

 

[Dru2]

A bit slow in here imo......anyone like Zoro?

 

[Thino]

I do like his sword techniques

 

[Reizilla]

My favorite after Robin.

 

[Phoenix Lord']

Zoro's actually near the bottom of my list, oddly enough.

 

[asianaussie]

but he's so nonchalant and cool and im sure he has great teeth

 

[Phoenix Lord']

But Franky is SUPAA; there's just no way any other Strawhat can compete.

 

[DerpDaBerp]

Brook's a skeleton with an afro
/argument

 

[Phoenix Lord']

Franky's a pervert who wears sea panties.
/clearly a stronger argument, although it may not be in my favour.

 

[Kuraudo]

Skeleton swordsman musician with an afro...

I have to side with Derp on this one. No offense to Franky because he's made of win. |D
