He questioned why Sanji was his 2nd favorite character. I spoiled him and told him Sanji won't be that trash in future arcs.

bro got crumpled up like a piece of notebook paper back in wano and got back up like it was nothing. being hella durable is his thing moving forward imo, a horsebite ain't gonna do shit
Fishman Island gotta be one of the odder arcs in One Piece. Great themes, fun designs, and an interesting exploration of Fishmen. But on the flip side. I think it's probably one of the least funny arcs in the series and has some really weak action for being the grand return. I feel like a lot of it could be excused if Hody was more interesting to fight. But he's the way he is for a reason and ya can't really change that.
Now excuse me as I wait for Dougie to tell us when his dad finishes Punk Hazard.

Agreed, going from that to Zou/Wholecake/Wano and now Egghead feels like such an insane uphill imo. And even more if we throw in the "outside arc updates" that we've been getting more frequently.
Fishmen will be yet another arc superior in the live action thanks to the Sanji cleanup, but even more so with the return of McKinley as Arlong.
Would be a little too convenient if every strawhat made it out unscathed esp with the first encounter with the Elders, there's usually some hardcore recovering out of every arc for the big hitters. But yeah doubting it will be Sanji with his germa traits.
I distinctly remember on my first read getting to Zou and feeling like "this is the One Piece I remember." I still felt that way on reread a few months ago.
Hody isn't weak for just thematic reasons. The fight against the New Fishman Pirates is supposed to be a juxtaposition against our own expectations of what the Strawhats can do. Prior to the timeskip they'd seriously struggle to deal with the antagonists in the Fishman Island arc. Hody and his goons were legit the biggest threat they had faced, as a crew, in the series outside of Aokiji and Kizaru. Beyond that the bad guys had a huge homefield advantage. They'd have been screwed on multiple occasions and getting the W would have put them in a worse position than when they finally beat Moria during Thriller Bark. The action would have been crazy pre-timeskip. However, by having the Strawhats totally steamroll these guys without any real effort we get shown how much stronger they were after the timeskip.
All this could definitely have been better communicated to us as readers though.
Zou reads like an arc that sits between like the alabasta-enies lobby era. I can't explain it tho

I was NOT expecting the haikyu movie to crack the top 20 all time list in Japan. I kno it's popular but damn
How did you get Hody is weak from me saying he wasn't interesting to fight lol
If Berserk fans can finally get off the boat, anyone can
One Piece spoilers or are you mad to learn that Hunter X Hunter is coming back this way?
You mean off the boat that's inside another bigger boat

I had a quick look in the Era thread and it sounds super hyped. I might not be able to watch until the weekend though ;(

I'll never understand animes obsession with making their main characters look stupid as fuck for an entire arc.
This davy back fight arc is going to break me.

It's in my list of least favorite arcs for sure. The concept is dope but the execution was…poor. The ending saves it from being the worst arc but it's close
Yeah I'm sure it will end with a "actually they haven't been incompetant dipshits for 12 episodes after all!" moment, but god am I eager to get it over with lol
Favorite movie of last year
What's the worst then 👀

Hang in there. The ending is really good
Dressrosa
I'm sure y'all know why lol
Nope
What in particular are you referring to?
Oh wow nice, not that bad for Rebirth after a-
Oh nvm, it's actually at #14...
Punk Hazard. I would rewatch/reread Davy Back Fight 100x over that
Just the silly ending to every event. Oh, they are going to win, nope Luffy swallows the ball and they lose. Oh they are going to win, nope Zoro kicks the enemy over the finish line ahead of his team.....over and over.
It's absurd lol.
Not that I find any arc in OP bad or terrible but my least favs are Dressrosa and more recently Wano.
Yes.
I cant stand Davy Back. I love both Dressrossa and Punk Hazard. Then again in DR I adore the arena stuff, plus I love Doflamingo so that sure helps. Punk Hazzard... no idea, there's just a few bits I really enjoyed. The bit toward the end where the one "giant" kid
Problem is, I cant stand the villains in that Davy Back arc, which kinda ruins the entire thing for me. My sole moment I enjoyed in it is some of the Robin/Chopper interactions. That's it.
almost kills herself scoffing down all the candy to save everyone else went hard

I still legit dont get people who think this wont help. Not saying it'll set the series on fire sales wise, but to me its undeniable that it'd help - doing them day to date specifically. We've already seen RPGs do better that way, we see Capcom and Sony seeing success with this, but apparently no it wont help Square... I swear certain "fans" would rather see series fail before seeing them go multi platform.
Would've been copped Rebirth day 1 but alas….i still haven't played 16 yet because it's not on steam. Oh well.
World renowned God Usopp hater
I love the long arcs but I know I'm in the minority on that one lol. Props of being a binger
They're right tho..
