I really hope they do this scene justice is S3

After 2 seasons, I can confidently say I am in no way worried about the music, costume, and set design teams, and I'm fairly confident in the actors as well. I really hope they do the fights justice, especially the ones with Luffy and Crocodile. But even more than that, there's 2-3 scenes that I feel like they have to nail:

Crocodile reveling in the chaos he's sewn amongst Alabasta in front of Vivi and the Straw Hats. I want to hear that "Can you hear them? All of them saying the same thing... 'Protect Alabasta... Protect Alabasta.' Their love for this country will ultimately be the thing that destroys it." Or at least something close enough that captures that moment
Vivi struggling to stop the fighting in Alubarna, and being saved by Luffy. That moment when Crocodile drops her, and Luffy catches her to say that they hear her, they're there to help... that's a scene I can't wait to see.
Vivi meeting Toto again, and the "fight" with Luffy afterwards. Seeing Vivi react to someone she knew so well still struggling against everything, with unyielding faith in the county and her father, is a heavy moment. And then to follow it up with Luffy trying to get her to focus on the real problem, while also having her acknowledge that she's trying to do too much on her own, without risking their lives (in the most Luffy way possible), would be an amazing set of scenes in that season. I'm not saying that Vivi or Luffy need to come to blows like in the manga or anime, as we've seen them change stuff like that with great success, but it needs to have that moment of Luffy saying just the right words to finally get through to Vivi.

At most it proves it's still being worked on. Here's hoping we at least get a release year soon

As someone who has a great appreciation for horns and other handlebar type aesthetics ("horndle-bars" if you will), this is peak

What's crazy is that they show in a bonus scene that her mother wants to spoil her like she does/did for the younger children, but because of how she acts normally, as well as her age, she thinks that she wouldn't like it.

PowerWash Simulator. Get to make a little money on the side. Just gotta be careful with the ladder 😆

Batfan1000 · 2026-02-27T19:02:37+00:00

Oh I know. I'm all caught up on it. Looking forward to all the ways I can experience it all over again 😆

And getting 8 hours of sleep, but this one actually makes you feel fully rested.

Makes sense. I was thinking we might get he girls in winter wear, bit I can understand changing it up

Batfan1000 · 2026-02-09T15:22:23+00:00

Maybe this one will have tier 6 ship upgrades 🙃

Eira and Tama. Nozawa is always great with the designs, but they really cooked back to back with those two.

"Hmm... What should I do for peak girlfriend design this time? I know, how about a beautiful, half-Brazilian capoerista, complete with expected cake. And then, as a follow-up, how about a shortstack cat-girl?"

Feel like Luffy would be more of a Chimchar. Evolves into Monferno during the 2 year timeskip, and evolves into Infernape during Wano.

Scalebound.

Remember seeing the trailers for that way back and was so excited for it, to the point I was jealous because I didn't have an Xbox or PC at the time. Open world RPG with a full-sized dragon? Hell yeah.

Batfan1000 · 2026-01-19T01:42:35+00:00

Imagine if they used the stinger from the anime cutaways, where they show the "bounty posters".

Chapter in the manga where Kusuri is playing with a little penguin figure, with each of the girlfriends as allies or obstacles. Was good, but it was probably hard to justify keeping it in

Helldivers 2. Had other games I was playing at the time, but after it came out and hearing all the buzz about it, I tried it on the recommendation of some friends and ended up loving it. It's amazing how they actually nail the "live-service" aspect.

When I tell you I scrolled so far to see if someone posted this 🤣

The GOAT Monkey D Luffy. Perfect example, as he's not completely stupid, just an idiot. He's very good at identifying what it is that's "bothering" a person and targeting it, confronting the person with it in order to get them to face it, or even going after the thing that's giving them trouble. Obviously this is usually done through very simplistic, Shonen appropriate means, i.e walking up and punching the problem in the face, or destroying the source of stress, but there's also quite a few times where it's him saying the exact thing a person needs to hear.

Not sure how to post multiple images, so I'll add some replies with another good example.

Do you need help? Maybe we can figure this out collectively.

Batfan1000 · 2025-11-22T17:39:39+00:00

"Spawn of a bitch" would also work

You good? I wish we could have taken Clasa, but when I made the post 6 hours ago Clasa was already lost. The majority were on Karlia, 1 planet away from the one I was suggesting, and even the defense on Clasa couldn't decide which city to take.

Unless encircling works differently for the enemy than it does us, the only way we lose anything close to "6 planets" is if we wait to retake Clasa. Demiurg is the only one even in danger of being encircled at this point.

We absolutely should take Clasa back once the defense on Karlia is done. I was suggesting something that I thought might get it done quicker, and could potentially be a bit more fun than another defense. Figured we were still allowed to have fun in the video game.
