That's honestly not the worst option when it comes to Illumination...

No matter how bad the Mario movie is, it's almost guaranteed to be better than the Sonic movie... *shudders*

Since when was Master Chief disconfirmed?! Not that I wanted him, but I'm a bit confused!

Franky O'Connor outright saying it.
Some people are trying to twist the words but it should be viewed as a direct disconfirmation. Not that Chief had much chance to begin with albeit the Joker reveal and Reggie's statement did make it an actual possibility.

Pyra needs a Spirit that makes you immune to the Lava Floor, I tried to face it without one and... no, not happening.

I found the Eggman fight pretty difficult.

One Piece actually has very little actual padding, it's just a long story because Oda loves world building, pretty much every arc is important in some way.

The only story arcs so far that are actually superfluous are the Island of Rare Animals arc and the Long Ring Long Land/Davy Back Fight arc, but even the latter ended with something important.

The thing about the Davy Back Fight is that it was meant as a breather arc, since the arc immediately before and after it were huge by the standards of the time; the anime makes the arc worse by doubling it's length and then moving the actually important bit to the filler arc that comes after it, not to mention that the Davy Back Fight is preceded by one of the best Filler Arcs ever (the G8 arc).

The recent Dressrosa arc is the longest arc so far, and that one I can see complaints of padding with, right when you think the big climactic fight is going to start, the villain literally kicks Luffy out of his lair and has one of his minions create a mountain that the heroes have to climb up.

I mean, I love me some wordbuilding but when it's been going for this long, it's clear it's padding(not that it's Oda's fault, it's likely an editorial decision and this is what hurt Naruto so much but that already went for far too long and One Piece is much bigger than it).

But when I look at the current anime landscape, I just can't get into such a big series with such a slow pacing and I'd rather get into Black Clover at this point.

'Aite. Question time.

For those whose most wanted character (or one of your most wanted characters depending on how realistic your requests are) is in the game as a spirit, do you use their spirit often? Do you like its effects? And are you happy with its ranking (like I'm sure Geno was given a 4 star legend status as a kind of acknowledgement of his popularity)?

Personally I'm happy with the Skull Kid/Majora's Mask spirit. Getting the legend status is nice and the secondary effect (lifesteal) is really useful. I ended up using him for a lot of World of Light and now have him equipped on many Spirits battles unless they're difficult enough to require a specific setup.

How's about you?

I don't think One Piece has gone on this long because of editiorial mandate (although that isn't to say that the publishers don't love how long it's gone on); Toriyama's editor couldn't stop him from ending Dr. Slump or Dragon Ball, and don't think Oda's editor could do the same if he decided he had had enough.

The fanbase has repeatedly made jokes about Oda's complete inability to predict how long the series will go on for, he thought the series would only go on for 5 years, and now look where we are. At one point the Skypeia arc (which started in Chapter 237) was considered (by Oda himself) to be the "halfway point".

Unlike Naruto, One Piece's core design lends itself very well to a long-running series. Naruto has a very small "world", the only things that matter are the things that directly effect Konohagakure, when those things aren't the focus, they might as well not exist, By the end of the series, you could pretty much count the number of countries Naruto (the character) had been to that weren't Konoha on one hand, and even then, we were fully aware of all of the world's biggest players by that point, meaning there wasn't really anywhere for the series to go.

In One Piece, each island the crew goes to is unique, with a culture and flavour to them that Oda takes time to establish (some moreso than others). The world of One Piece is huge compared to Naruto, and things happen even when they don't effect the main cast; not only that, the secondary cast is constantly shifting, and there are characters who come back who, in other series, would be discarded never to return (I won't say who for the people like Zinith who are actively reading it), this even applies to characters outside of the series (the main character of one of Oda's old single chapter pilot manga actually appeared in One Piece).

Speaking of the pilot manga chapters, Zinith Zinith , I recommend looking into Wanted! at some point.

You could do your most wanted characters for Ultimate or a general review for Ultimate.

You could try making a tier list video, but I highly advise against it for now since it’s very early in Ultimate’s metagame.

Well, I’m sad Magnus is only a 2 star and not very powerful. But I do have 2 lv.99 ones. I’d love to use him a bunch but Big Boss is just way better. Also I don’t even think Magnus HAS an effect?

Edit: they could’ve made him enhancable and made it a Magnus and Gaol spirit with sword and dark attack up!
