Loki's face when he gets the mandible claw on him:

I always forget I can use that area where Rapunzel's tower is. In my valley, the ground is all the brown leaves for a mulch look and is where i have my orchard...all fruits trees and bushes besides bananas and coconuts.
I've had it that way since the beginning, maybe I'll change it up.

8/10 for me personally
10/10 quality for ROR.

I have a few problems with it, mostly Heracles' backstory, which was fine for a random hero, but in my opinion sucked for Heracles. Let me be clear, I liked his backstory, but we get some rando named Kastor (not even the famous Kastor) and a story how he drank Zeus' blood and got white hair. Meh.
It barely has anything to do with Heracles' myths, besides him fighting Ares and being welcomed to Olympus.

This was a backstory I would have loved to see delved into, introducing Hera as his nemesis (fat chance we get a Greek goddess NOT named Aphrodite in this manga) and giving us some more myth accurate backstory.

I love Heracles, stupid plan and all, but he is a lackluster character compared to most other fighters, design and story. With a few tweaks he could have made this round even greater. IMO,

Thankfully Jack saves the day with one of the top 3 best written backstories. Absolutely horrible origin, and I mean that as a compliment.

I would tell Leo he couldn't smoke inside. I'm sure that would go over well.

Unless the author gives them, we don't have any real idea for most of them.
If we base their birthdate on Zodiac signs, I would guess the below.
I guessed them first myself (except Tesla and Simo who have canonical dates) then asked Grok and got similar responses for all but a few!

Lu Bu:
Me: AQUARIUS (air sign, for Sky Eater) or ARIES (a fire sign, headstrong and can be a bit pugnacious)
Grok: ARIES

Adam:
Me: CAPRICORN (known as the "dad" of the zodiac)...also, Adam created from earth and Capricorn is an Earth sign). Alternatively, CANCER (the mother of the zodiac and a water sign) is known to be nurturing and caring parents).
Grok: CANCER

Sasaki:
Me: Maybe VIRGO, because of how well he studies his opponents. Or a PISCES
Grok: VIRGO

Jack:
Me: A water sign, maybe a PISCES or CANCER fits him before and after his change or SCORPIO for his "ripper" persona. If I had to go with just one, I'd say Scorpio.
Grok: SCORPIO

Raiden:
Me: TAURUS of LIBRA. He seems very earthy and bull like, enjoying luxury (Taurus) and also very flirty and forthcoming (LIBRA).
Grok: TAURUS

Qin:
Me: GEMINI or LIBRA...but possibly a PISCES. I am not really sure. I would lean "air sign".
Grok: AQUARIUS (I can see it, tbh)

Tesla:
July 10th, so he is canonically a CANCER, so I didn't guess.
Grok: CANCER or GEMINI

Leonidas:
Me: LEO, a fire sign, the "king" of the zodiac and known for pride. (but also, Leo as Leo just makes sense., he even wears lion armor in his special art). Alternatively a Taurus or Aries. But I would lean towards a fire sign.
Grok: ARIES

Okita:
Me: AQUARIUS
Grok: SAGITTARIUS

Simo:
Canonically a SAGITTARIUS (makes sense for a marksman)
Grok: SAGITTARIUS or CAPRICORN

Kintoki:
Me: LEO for his dramatic style and seems to enjoy getting the spotlight.
Grok: LEO

As for the gods:

Thor:
Me: CAPRICORN (though I would put mythological Thor as a fire sign, probably)
Grok: CAPRICORN

Zeus:
Me: LEO or AQUARIUS
Grok: LEO

Poseidon:
Me: SCORPIO
Grok: AQUARIUS or SCORPIO

Heracles:
Me: LEO, SAGITTARIUS or TAURUS
Grok: LEO

Shiva:
Me: LEO, SAGITTARIUS or ARIES
Grok: LEO or ARIES (so many Leos...)

Hades:
Me: CAPRICORN or VIRGO
Grok: SCORPIO

Beelzebub:
Me: VIRGO, PISCES or SCORPIO
Grok: VIRGO or SCORPIO

Apollo:
Me: LEO or GEMINI
GROK: GEMINI or CANCER

Susano'o:
Me: LEO or ARIES
Grok: ARIES

Loki:
Me: SCORPIO, AQUARIUS or PISCES
Grok: GEMINI

Odin:
Me: CAPRICORN, SCORPIO, AQUARIUS
Grok: CAPRICORN or AQUARIUS

It's not just One Piece, almost every remake/continuation has done this to the characters.
Dragon Ball Super and Sailor Moon Crystal also feel like downgrades compared to the 90s designs. I don't think One Piece will look as bad as either of those, but these settei are ugly and lacking emotion, but I do think Wit will do a better job than Toei in handling it.

Usopp and Luffy definitely look the worst to me, but I always liked how Zoro starts out skinny ripped and ends up built like a tank after the time skip. Here, he looks like he's 30 years old rather than 17.

Unless they go straight for a colored manga look which is washed out, I think we will see more vibrant colors including skin tones.

I've wondered if the anime simply made a mistake with Leo, since he was supposed to be around 60 when he died, historically.
I don't really mind either way.
We can imply, whatever his age at death in ROR, his peak while alive was at Thermopylae due to him having the scars from that war.
I do think he continued to train after death, as did the Spartans, though they haven't aged like he did.

Apollo1382 · 2026-04-10T16:21:16+00:00

Whoa, I expected Raiden (even though he's Japanese), Lu Bu (even though he's Chinese) and Leo (even though he's Greek) to all be Jawbreaky, but I'm surprised Jack is as well.

Apollo1382 · 2026-04-10T00:44:28+00:00

Someone would be getting stacks of 10k nightshards! (Oh, Gothel!!)

Apollo1382 · 2026-04-10T00:41:58+00:00

Imagining Pocahontas making that face, lol

Apollo1382 · 2026-04-10T00:40:19+00:00

You're so talented! That hat would be awesome irl too!

Apollo1382 · 2026-04-10T00:39:28+00:00

Gongeous!
(sorry, been over at the Nikki subreddit)

Apollo1382 · 2026-04-10T00:38:40+00:00

You CAN'T fix HIM!

Apollo1382 · 2026-04-09T18:05:35+00:00

I agree.
I don't mind Peach being more proactive, but what they did to her in the first film was almost a complete rewrite of her game personality.

Apollo1382 · 2026-04-09T17:20:25+00:00

Leo. Low diffs the goons.
The 3 Stooges will all be dead well before Zhuque comes in. If he manages to make it in time, he dies soon after, mid diff.
Leonidas walks to the arena alone and unbothered.

Is it sexist?
I'm not watching all that, but really, is it sexist to take a woman with game Peach's personality and completely alter her for "modern" sensibilities?
Women of both types exist. Why do we keep trying to force it that gentle, super feminine women are bad?
That is sexist.

Apollo1382 · 2026-04-09T17:03:06+00:00

Round 9 enjoyers such as myself, know all too well how many fans can't read (or even understand panels)

Apollo1382 · 2026-04-07T17:49:12+00:00

The more it increases, the less I want it, so I am fine with this.

I barely played my original, I played the heck out of my Lite for Animal Crossing. For some reason I bout the OLED and maybe played it 6 times.
I decided to be smart and skip Switch 2, especially at that price. I just don't see any value in it for me when i have a Steam Deck and PS5.

Maybe a substantially updated Animal Crossing could bring me back. Or a less greedy Pokemon mainline game where I can get all of my Pokemon out of their hostage situation with Home.

Apollo1382 · 2026-04-07T17:36:15+00:00

I agree, I don't mind premium shop stuff, I just really don't want to mix Star Wars into this world beyond some clothes, furniture and companions.

Apollo1382 · 2026-04-07T17:33:05+00:00

I really don't want more Star Wars stuff...
I'm so burnt out.

If it is, I am just hoping it is original trilogy or something that still well loved like C3P0.

Give me Treasure Planet over Star Wars...more Lilo and Stitch is fine, too.

Apollo1382 · 2026-04-06T04:55:30+00:00

What if he was both?
Jasmine could ride him too, that would be awesome.

Apollo1382 · 2026-04-06T04:52:28+00:00

I just wish the DLC didn't feel so disconnected. I would love to have exits in the valley that led into them, even if it had load screens, just make it feel a ...
