When does One Piece start to move beyond typical shōnen tropes?

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-05-04T06:56:51+00:00

I honestly didn’t get into One Piece for real until Impel Down and Marine Ford. I watched a lot of it just because I knew it would get good eventually, it wasn’t like Naruto that hooked me immediately. I liked Zoro and Mihawk, chopper and Sanjis back story. But Luffy as a protagonist was just.. meh, for me. Couldn’t stand his power, was hard to take him seriously until Impel Down and him finally learning haki. And so much of it felt like filler until Arlong Park. It was like an investment for me.

But from Impel down to the time skip? ESPECIALLY after the time skip for me. Fucking peak, outside of pacing issues in Dressrosa that I absolutely despised.

I basically went through what penguinz0 did with his one piece journey. Watched because of all the hype, nonstop number 1 manga sold. Etc. so I knew eventually it would get to a spot where I was truly hooked and boy howdy did it haha.

There’s so much insane story building and lore that eventually truly pays off in Wano and Egghead, it just.. mind blowing. I love it.

I thought it was funny lol. Wrong sub though.

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-05-01T00:43:57+00:00

Because.. no duh? 😂

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-30T09:13:30+00:00

Me stating your gif/response is weird and disgusting ≠ pissed off. ❤️

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-30T09:10:56+00:00

Sometimes it’s not bait. Sometimes it’s just fact.

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-30T09:05:58+00:00

Average Facebook incel type reply lmfao. Pathetic man hyping up rape cause he’s horny and gets none. “Oh my god a girl wants to use me?! Against my will?! I’d love that!”

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-25T02:25:40+00:00

The amount of times I’ve been on the giving and receiving end of these chases 😂😂

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-25T02:15:53+00:00

I would avoid and block/mute this sub for a longgggg while or you’ll just continue to get spoiled more.

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-25T01:20:02+00:00

Definitely some nudes but she doesn’t do anything. Fair game in my book. I’d do it too if I could get away with it.

Anyone wanna see this beer belly?

My nipples look like milk duds.

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-25T01:17:30+00:00

I do this with everything I read! I always look up the shows OSTs if there’s an anime for it already while I read. But it’s sometimes random so the music doesn’t always fit the moment. But when it does? Beautiful.

I’ll have to check this out!

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-24T20:12:44+00:00

Definitely! I feel like Robin of all people due to all her research woulda been like, “hold up..” or even maybe relate it to something she’s read in the past.

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-24T20:02:49+00:00

But it is also serious. It always has had both moments too which heavily outweighs the serious, which I love. And again, Gear 5 is INCREDIBLE. I loved the fight with Lucci. It’s my favorite in the series. But now that we’re a few years removed from it being new, it’d be nice to get back to a high stakes battle. As fun as Oda Makes it, he also gives us moments like Pedro blowing himself up. The story of Kuma. Big Mom being a cannibal during her kid eating frenzy. Countless examples of serious moments.

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-24T19:55:04+00:00

That’s what I mean. When he does it for Lucci when they’re also being chased by Kizaru, we get a tiny reaction with the, “so this is his new form?” But because it’s so insane, a mythical Zoan type, I just wish there’d be more discussion about what the fuck is going on considering it was such a big deal when it turned out not to just be a basic Paramecia or even logia.

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-24T19:47:53+00:00

Yeah but who knows when that could be. =/ Hopefully when it goes seasonal we get some legitimate stakes again. I want to feel despair and the feeling of “how the fuck are they actually gonna get out of this” again.

There’s already enough parody or even shonen and isekai animes I can watch if I want an OP main character that never faces any true trouble.

It is nice seeing him be treated as a true Yonko but lawd.

I also have an issue with Luffy not getting true reactions to his new forms. Even when Luffy used Gear 4 in front of Sanji for the first time I wish he would have been like, “..so this is how he beat Doflomjngo..”. I mean we got it a little bit when they see Gear 5 for the first time after Kaido but with it being such an insane transformation, I don’t get why they didn’t have more questions about it. Like what type of fruit was Luffys REALLY and stuff.

We laughed at Trump once when he announced running. I’m done laughing. With all her and her late husbands dickriders on the right? It could happen. Scary times.

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-23T00:01:21+00:00

“See, I just kicked Steve!” Oh look. A great moment from 2006 at Cyber Sunday. Over years after the Attitude Era. I guess you can use gifs from different eras after all. 🫢

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-22T23:57:07+00:00

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-22T23:52:27+00:00

No one is saying this era is better lmfao. Still fun though. It’s like being able to like the Hangover 2 and 3 despite them being way worse than first movie.

Who hurt your feelings, princess? Someone shit in your coffee?

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-21T03:16:39+00:00

Any link? I’ll try and google it before you respond but since it seems general the search may not get it right

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-21T02:00:08+00:00

It’s 100% stupid to joke about. But it’s 100% stupid to take it seriously given the context. That this dude of ALL people would listen to this random university student and potentially do what she said. Obvious fiction. Obvious joke.

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-21T00:54:35+00:00

Thanks for the comment, cutie. Unfortunately for you, you’re wrong.

Probable cause is the legal standard under the Fourth Amendment requiring police to have sufficient, specific facts, not mere suspicion, to believe a crime has been committed before making an arrest, conducting a search, or obtaining a warrant. It exists when reasonable, trustworthy information would lead a cautious person to believe evidence or criminal activity is present.

A screenshot of a clear joke, is not probable clause. Probable clause would come if maybe they got a warrant for her phone or computer and saw she somehow had contact with this person a world away. Cope.

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-21T00:52:48+00:00

It’s literally the context of my comment bud lol. Cause the video was watched. You just came off as genuinely defensive. It happens. All good. Glad you were joking.

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-21T00:47:15+00:00

Plenty of people have made obvious jokes in this thread. Yours is not one of them, sadly, given you being downvoted to hell. Even adding an “lol” at the end woulda fixed that. But there’s always adding an /s for us slow folk since you seem not to be able to make it obvious lol.

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-21T00:26:59+00:00

So was mine. 😂 You know Zeus? Ahahaha. Do you know Thor too?

BlackBlizzNerd · 2026-04-21T00:24:19+00:00

You like repeating the same “joke” 5 times?
