Btw, what are your thoughts on Franky?
He's dope, and yeah, I know he's gonna join the crew. It's blatantly obvious and also I seen pictures of all the strawhats so...

All of Water Seven is peak, so far it's my favorite arc in the whole series, and genuinelly one of the best in anime/manga imo (at least as far as Shohens go). I know the "I want to live" is the peak moment but also shoutouts to Usopp Sniper King for letting his nuts hang by shooting the flag with no hesitation. Insane development

Yeah many consider this the best arc in the series, that's why I asked you what you think.

It's not my personal favorite but it's definitely up there, I think it speaks for itself. Also it has one of the best Luffy fights ever

Yeah, I'm glad I picked this up, the quality just kept getting better and now I'm straight up invested in peak.

And to think I said I was never gonna do that. Lol.

Everyone thinks One Piece fans glaze too much until they get into it and realize "oh ****, it is actually that ****ing good"

Nah OP fans aren't off the hook, I remember them saying Gear 5 Luffy is more iconic and surprassed Super Saiyan Goku. They are delusional.
I feel like anyone saying that would have to be trolling. (you can't blame the entire One Piece fandom for one troll; it's like Smash character speculation, or any kind of fandom for that matter)

Unfortunately, the internet is place where everyone loses. No matter who has the evidence or the influence behind their reasoning.

I got around to making an Alt for my Storm drawing from a few months back. I forgot to do that. I still like this piece A LOT! The 2000's design is one of her best looks, if you ask me. You see this color swap of this one in Marvel vs Capcom 3 and UMVC3. I think black and white are just strong colors to use for Storm. I don't know what to tell you.

As for the OP stuff, I DO legit think Gear 5 is one of the most important transformations in recent years. But to say it surpassed Super Saiyan 1(or 2 for that matter) is insane. Personally, I would also say that Ultra Instinct is pretty peak. But how G5 works, and how it ties to Luffy as a character is pretty strong and I gotta dap up Oda for that much. And it's got the Red Eyes and White Hair that Beast Gohan has too.

The real bull **** was saying that Red Roc was more iconic than Kamehameha. Which obviously it isn't. It's less iconic than other moves like Rasengan or Getsuga Tenshou or Spirit Gun.

Yeah that's fair, it's just daunting to newbies cause if it's length. Idk if I would bother if I decided to watch it instead of read it (TMNTSSB4 a stronger man for me for iron man'ing the anime)
I actually don't recommend the anime at all, you're experiencing the good version of this story.

Ima be real I barely remember Red Roc. It's a cool attack for sure but it's not even Luffy's most iconic move. Luffy's Kamehameha equivalent is Gun Gun Gattling if anything, that's in the conversation for one of the most iconic shonen attacks after the Kamehameha because nothing is more iconic than the ****ing Kamehameha

I'm a far bigger fan of One Piece than Dragon Ball and I would argue it's of higher quality overall, but it will never be as iconic and One Piece fans should know their place

So many people are trying to use the Tera raid events as a tool to predict the Legends Z-A starters.

Guys, they’re not dropping hints. I promise you :239:
While we do get the occasional hints for future stuff, it would never be something heavily advertised every single week.

For the real hints, we gotta really put our backs into it.

Skipping One Piece arcs is worse than part skipping in Jojo. At least in Jojo you have the excuse of those being self contained stories, One Piece is one big chunk of a story where everything contributes to the grander narrative

Ngl way too many Shohen fans have TikTok brains where they only pay attention if the manga/show is dangling keys in front of them.

Only way I can explain how so many fans miss the point of their own "favorite" series

You kind of need to know most JoJo parts before watching them.

Gotta watch Part 1 to understand Part 2
Gotta know the context of Part 1 to understand Part 3 (the only thing that comes from Part 2 is its protagonist)
Part 3 introduces the Stand Arrow which becomes important for 4, 5, and 6.

Part 7 is a fresh start. But if you start there, you couldn’t get into Part 8 because everything that happens is because of Johnny Joestar, the biggest anime simp yet to be animated.

We don’t know **** about Part 9, but that will all come full circle in ten years when the story is finished. :4pacman:

Look man I never said it's okay to skip Jojo parts. Just because One Piece arc skippers are dumb doesn't get part skippers off the hook

After thinking about it, I'm probably going to skip watching the Ubisoft Forward presentation.

I'm not all that interested in their Assassin's Creed and Star Wars games.

Somewhere out there on this big blue marble

Open Zone sounds like it really fits Shadow a lot considering his game's mission based structure. Wonder what we can find seeing as we clearly won't get stats to power up, maybe a bunch of lore stuff?

The ability to use a Nintendo DS as a guide for the Kaiyukan Aquarium will be discontinued in August.

This is going to sound silly, but I don't know who Chiitan is. Can someone tell me about who they are?
Japan mascot whose videos usually involve stunts.

On Twitter Chiitan’s videos can appear as an ad. Note that Chiitan does not advertise anything, but instead shows a video.
