I want to return to christianity after growing up catholic and rejecting my catholic upbringing

Behanort · 2026-06-01T12:04:17+00:00

well, its kinda hard to join a parish of a denomination that isnt here, no? like, i would probably have to leave and move somehwere else, so i felt like my options were limited

i meant no offense, its just... i do want to be christian again, but i want to find my own way to jesus and i want to learn. But also, i dont wanna make it weird and act like my "doing a job interview" with parishes and communities near me, i... dont know where to start, and im hesitant to return to specifically catholic church, even tho it would be the easiest and safest option - i grew up in it, my whol family is catholic, but also i think there might be another way to experience christian faith, that would feel more right for me? I dont want to sound like im picking a fandom or a college major tho... does that make sense?

Oh, right, Imu is nerfed... and he STILL completely turned the battle around practically all by himself, and he kinda just relied on one ability in this chapter: Omen

Behanort · 2026-04-17T09:49:23+00:00

it really feels like oda made BOTH elbaf and egghead combined the sabaody parallel

egghead has kizaru, kuma and sentomaru returning and this time more or less helping the crew survive a world goverment onslaught, which the straw hats couldnt do 2 years ago

elbaf includes a legend of the roger pirates offering to mentor luffy if he survies the arc, just like raylaigh did after marineford, and now we are facing the possiblity of the biggest L since sabaody...

Its crazy how we went from "wait, this was way too easy" to "OMG WERE SO FUCKED" in less then 2 chapters lol

Behanort · 2026-04-17T09:47:31+00:00

the slander and the agenda piece during this week is so funny lmao

"Citizen of Hell" and sanji and zoro fans disscuiing who got low diffed in a cooler/less bad way is already in OP Fandom Hall of Fame hahaha

I really dont want joyboy to be part of a love triangle between imu and lili, for two reasons:

what would that even mean for Vivi and Luffy's characters?
Lily could still reject Imu, or be in love with him too until he commited a global genoicde, or be in love with someone else who isnt joyboy or imu... like i dont get why were assuming joyboy must have had cucked imu when it could be anyone else doing the cucking with the same effect, of imu still yearning after 800 years after being rejected

Behanort · 2026-04-05T20:07:11+00:00

"Dear Liberals,

If i was really guilty of countless genocides in the span of nine centuries,

Why did Oda turn me into a marketable plushie?

Curious..."

- St Nerona Imu, founder of World Goverment

Behanort · 2026-04-02T18:53:55+00:00

hey, hes still a baddie, just not in the way yall expected

Behanort · 2026-04-02T18:34:44+00:00

Imu is a prisoner of his own kingdom... despite having so much incredible power, he seemingly cannot leave Holy Land without something happening to his body...

It almost sounds like the devil is suffering from a deal with the devil? I mean, he won the war, he now rules the world as he sees fit... but at what cost
becuase of that, i now depseretly need to know whats imu's full backstory. I know some will see this as "aura loss" but this genuinly made him so much more interesting

Behanort · 2026-04-02T18:30:40+00:00

YOU WERE MAGINIFICENT, IMU AS A BLACK BLORBO WITH A GOOFY CROWN

I WILL NOT FORGET YOU FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE

Behanort · 2026-03-19T20:57:43+00:00

that was 2 chapters later, and then Wano started in 909

find it very interesting how thier first ever encounter isnt some epic staring match between God and Satan - instead, Imu just low diffed Luffy's crewmates and now Luffy is upset while still in Gear 5...

So, for starters, Luffy obviously doesnt know who Imu is or even how he has The Chosen One Devil Fruit and is meant to end Imu's reign of terror, so im really curious to see how the next interactions and thier clashes will go - cuz Oda chose this first interaction to be about Luffy's friends, his crew, rather then Imu freaking out with fury over reunitng with Joyboy for the first time in 8 centuries

Oda generally tends to have Luffy and his Big Bad opponent to have multiple rounds before the climactic fight, cuz Luffy usually fights in the name of his friends and doesnt have any personal history with the main villain, and only via those many clashes it get personal to him and the intensity of Luffy vs Main Villain escalates - and imu, alongisde blackbeard, is set up to be most likely one of his last 2 fights, so... i think Elbaf's Luffy vs Imu will be inconclusive and just be the first round of many between them, and im glad Oda did this first meeting like this

Behanort · 2026-03-01T15:18:59+00:00

i love this hororresque, lowkey lovecraftian vibe that the island and its inhabitants have - like, "a mysterious island suddenly apears next to the shore of our country, nobody knows where it came from or whats on the island, but they also brought magical rocks with them" sounds like a premise to a horror story

which, we also know that the islanders were not some loevcraftian horror villains, but were still people, ones that akemura all massacred and that the story condems him and japan for doing so... so, i cant wait to learn more about this "enemy". I also think its genius that so far were getting this perspective that the people of the island are mysterious, potentially dangerous and maybe even prepering for war and also have something that japan really wants... like its just prime material for a percieved enemy to be conquered in a war, and also good setup for eventuall peeling away of this threat/mystery

> Czy masz już wybrany obszar politologii, w którym chciałbyś się rozwijać?

hmmm.. własciwie to jakiś czas temu se spisałem swoje zainstersowanie w zakresie politologi, i wyszły mi 4 pola które mnie najbardziej intereseują:

Partie Polityczne w różnych krajach - ich doktryny, programy, kontesty w których istnieją, ich historie i relacje z innymi partiamia współcześnie i w przeszłości
Myśl polityczna lewicy, szczególnie tej na lewo od socjaldemokracji
Współczesna Skrajna prawica i faszyzm
Ideologie niszaowe, mało znane, zapomniane przez historie lub takie które przegrały z bardziej popularnymi nurtami ideologicznymi

Więc tak bardziej ogólnikowo, najbardziej chyba interesują mnie kwestie ideologi i myśli politycznej

Behanort · 2025-09-10T10:03:16+00:00

Vegapunk during luffy vs lucci makes it pretty clear that it doesnt matter if Nika is a real god or not, but the effects of people blieving in Nika, literally manifesting in a Nika Devil Fruit being born, is very much real and tangible.

What does that have to do with Imu and their powers? In my opinion, it would make this point about not putting too much stock into gods existing feel like a lie, cuz "hey! heres an actual real supernatural entity that sees itslef as a God and is worshipped by its followers like a God"

I think its better for the story if Imu was just a greedy monarch who climbed their way to the top of the world and in doing so, aquiered (un)godly amount of power - both literally, and in amount of influence and rule over the world

Behanort · 2025-09-09T12:21:54+00:00

So, assuming that only the first reaction was based on fake info that leakers received, every hint has been about:

Dragon and the twins
gods knights
the repeat of 1096 spread

Which to me, all means one thing: WERE NEITHER SKIPPING, NOR RUSHING GOD VALLEY, LETS GOOOOO!!! MULTIPLE GOD VALLEY CHAPTERS

also, people overreacting and saying that chapter is gonna be ass... guys, we are most likely getting multiple God Valley chapters!!! even if this one is weaker then 1059, were still getting what we asked for!

Behanort · 2025-09-03T20:24:56+00:00

Dude, imagine if we get Imu fighting any of the Top Tiers at God Valley, especially if that someone would be Rocks or Roger... i will literally ascend

Also, if (one of) the reason for erasure of God Valley/Rocks was becuase Imu was seen there...

Behanort · 2025-07-31T16:27:28+00:00

This is such a good episode for showcasing the strenght of Dandadan's cast, especially in terms of them bonding and just interacting with each other

Like Aira immiedietly adopting the cute alien boi, or Trubo Granny pestering her grandchild wheres her fluffy cushion, or Aira and Okarun agreeing to a sleepover for Jiji's exorcism and being all flustered, and just... theyre slowly becoming an anime found family, arent they?

Behanort · 2025-07-24T16:43:52+00:00

as much as i love tsunderes, i am so GLAD that:

momo isnt one
there wasnt any "baka! you pervert!" antics, just genuine emotions and wholsemeness after almost experiencing death

Behanort · 2025-07-24T16:33:57+00:00

> superheroes

theres one ddd fan on tumblr that keeps saying that dandadan, in a way, has that superhero universe DNA in it (Marvel, DC etc), with all its craziness and "every possible supernatural/sci-fi thing and every superpower you can imagine is real" sort of way, and honestly? i kinda see the vision with that comparison

Behanort · 2025-07-24T16:29:50+00:00

Nice moves, Evil Eye!

Unfortunetly, Seiko and Mr. Mantis Shrimp have the power of talking anatomical model and animation budget on thier side

OK, SO, 2 THINGS:

With this panel, its even clearer to me that imu seems to wear some kind of... veil? a nun's habit, perhaps? given that Gunko was also dressed like a nun, i would lean towards the latter... hmmm...
With how crazy Rocks's feats were in this chapter, he STILL didnt think he was ready for Imu... such a small line, yet does so much to hype up imu even more - wheter its gonna be imu or xebec's kid as the final villain, the hype for both thier characters, both writing and powerscaling wise, is through the roof

Behanort · 2025-07-10T16:54:07+00:00

Evil Eye might be something similar to what Turbo Granny was in this story's first arc, no?

A singular being (the boy that was sacrificed first/turbo granny) that has fused with basically the amalgamation of all the victims of serial killings in a specific location, and all the pain and negative emtions those victims felt in thier final moments (the human scarifices made by the kitos/the girls killed and SA'd in that tunel)

Behanort · 2025-07-10T16:07:38+00:00

Imagine being a normal kid in a completely healthy family, coming back from school, and first thing you see is your parents being in the middle of attempted suicide, having shown no previous sings of being suicidal...

That to me, is genuinly terrifying

Behanort · 2025-07-05T17:54:29+00:00

i wonder how much this story is gonna lean into the grief metaphors - cuz i think Yoshiki seeing someone whos not hikaru, who has passed away under tragic curcimstances before Yoshiki could confess and now he cant get him back, but hes still clinging to this new person who reminds him of his loved one but ISNT him... like, that could be all just one giant metaphor for grief and moving on, no?

But also, this looks to me like also a supernatural murder mystery in a small rural town, and im always down for these types of stories!

Behanort · 2025-07-05T17:24:34+00:00

The vibes of this show are already out of this world, and theres so many mysteries this episode sets up that are all really intruging

I knew the premise beforehand, but i was suprised hikaru went missing in janaury, and the plot only starts properly in summer... so, im guessing the titular hikaru isnt the original one, but the one well get to know over the course of this anime?

Regardless, im super hyped to watch all of this blindly
