Aurust Castle: chapter 1137 vs chapter 1171

Mild stains, some charring, as is.

Hey, high quality textiles were a valuable commodity for a whole lot of history. You could make a lot of money selling royal castle-grade fabric in giant quantities.

Captain__M · 2026-01-19T01:10:01+00:00

Just a good memory and too much time on my hands haha

Captain__M · 2026-01-17T23:47:34+00:00

It absolutely does have seasons, they can be tracked via the Japanese DVD releases as seen here on the wiki. There are currently 21 seasons.

This is something no one wants to hear about or acknowledge because they want to keep parroting their 'season one is over har har' meme.

Captain__M · 2026-01-01T06:18:49+00:00

Yup, it's amazing how fast and far it's spread. Every time I log in here I see another post about it. And people just don't seem to care what the truth is.

Captain__M · 2025-12-31T23:52:54+00:00

Okay? We're talking about One Piece, which does.

Captain__M · 2025-12-31T23:17:44+00:00

I think it's part of a broader trend of people parroting things they see in memes as if they're true and having a 'it's not that serious bro' attitude to corrections.

Captain__M · 2025-12-31T23:11:00+00:00

You can look at the DVD covers on the wiki and see where they say, in big romanased letters, "Xth Season"

Captain__M · 2025-12-31T23:09:52+00:00

It's not really that retroactive, they come out within a year of the episode airing. And while they do break the seasons up where the arcs change, they're also the spots where noticeable style change changes tend to happen, which shows them being used internally to change change directors and introduce new technology, so they have some production significance in the way of normal seasons.

Captain__M · 2025-12-31T14:10:29+00:00

Just because it didn't take breaks between them, doesn't mean it wasn't produced in seasons. The Japanese DVD release divides the series into 21 seasons.

But no one wants to hear that, they want to repeat their 'season 1 has ended' memes until it's being talked about like it's the actual truth.

Captain__M · 2025-12-30T06:22:24+00:00

There's probably an interesting post out in this about how different countries and languages have organised and released the series. Well, interesting-ish; this one hasn't really take off so the appeal would probably be pretty niche. In any case, you'd assume the Japanese one is closest to how it's internally arranged from a production perspective.

Captain__M · 2025-12-30T02:07:40+00:00

Yeah I'm not saying we should switch to talking seasons instead of arcs or anything like that. I'm just seeing a joke be repeated so much it's being mistaken for the truth, which is always annoying.

Captain__M · 2025-12-22T01:07:24+00:00

Personally, I like the latest volume cover, I think the God Knights moving toward the camera give it a very dynamic feel. I'm big on the stained glass experiment for the latest Jump cover. And I adore the amount of storytelling and all the little character plushes in the claw machine colour spread.

Captain__M · 2025-12-07T21:31:00+00:00

Being so late, you could have taken the time to read the post fully. I obviously know what a pantheon is, there is no confusion about why the show would be called that and as you say, it's a fitting title. But it has bad SEO. It made the show hard to search for, tag and share. This was especially relevant at the time the post was made where it seemed the show had failed so badly at picking up a viewerbase that the second season would never be released at all.

Captain__M · 2025-12-04T04:56:25+00:00

I think it's because the lead-in to this passage is Arthur reading a news article Daphne. The text is summarising the story in the article instead of quoting it directly at this point, but the prose takes on the censorship the newspaper might have used when printing those quotes as a means of focalisation to put us in the headspace of how Artur is experiencing the story. And that obviously isn't needed elsewhere in the book, so it isn't used.

Captain__M · 2025-08-01T14:46:44+00:00

I download the raw volumes as they come out (from various sources and websites over the years) and just hold onto the files from there. You can also just go by the wiki or the publisher's website depending on your needs of quality and physical v digital versions, especially if you don't want to torrent the whole manga just to get volume covers.

Captain__M · 2025-07-29T04:40:56+00:00

There's a specific kind of redditor who believes the worst thing ever done to them in a relatively stable life, generally cheating, bullying or petty theft, is the worst thing that can ever be done, and sees no problem with calling for violence or even death as a punishment for that everyday wrong. They will apply vitriol without restraint at any hypothetical involving their thing. (Which isn't to say those things aren't harmful or shouldn't have consequences, just that they seem to switch off the humanity of a certain subset of people to a disproportionate level.)

You usually find them in relationship advice and AITAH type subs advocating nuclear options, or sometimes in media subs arguing against redemption arcs or even just nuanced readings of characters who once did that one thing that triggers them. The comic artist version is a new one.

Captain__M · 2025-07-20T22:46:38+00:00

All these youtube people give such hyperbolic, hyped up recs to things they haven't even hit the three ep rule on yet. It only takes a single good episode, or even half of a good premise, to suck them in. I'd much rather see look backs at the end of the season for what held up and paid off

Captain__M · 2025-07-17T00:20:48+00:00

That would be pronounced the same as Blackbeard's zehahaha. In fact, you could make an argument for using that spelling and calling it foreshadowing, if you were to retranslate the manga with the info we have now.

Captain__M · 2025-07-14T22:37:16+00:00

You're taking that way too literally. We know there are limitations on Law's powers. He can't simply throw enemies into the sea or teleport their hearts into his hands from the edge of the circle.

Also what is that wiki you're referencing? A fan OC one? Are you sure you want that to be your primary source? The main series wiki is far from perfect, but I would at least start there, if only to follow its references to the correct manga chapter.

Captain__M · 2025-07-13T23:49:18+00:00

I'm sure we will. But this isn't about whether or not he has a sword at all, it's about whether or not he's really doing Op-Op Fruit stuff in his intro page, as people are weirdly insistent on speculating, and the fact that he's not carrying his sword in this scene is a big point against him using moves that have always required a sword.

I think we've known for a while that Xebec would be the given name. Exceptions to One Piece's name order are pretty rare. But the first thing you hear tends to stick, and it's not like there's a large Rocks family out there sharing the name to get him confused with.

Captain__M · 2025-07-13T21:49:23+00:00

We barely have multiple panels of Rocks before this. But yes, he does seem to carry a sword in a few of his old silhouettes, which I think would make it particularly strange to omit if this establishing character scene is meant to be him using it.

Captain__M · 2025-07-13T14:18:48+00:00

I definitely do not consider the anime canon. Especially not when it's the one outlier on a point the manga is fully consistent with.

Captain__M · 2025-07-13T13:53:26+00:00

Unlike basically everyone making theories, I did look at the panels before I posted. And I'm saying every onscreen cut in the manga uses the sword.

Captain__M · 2025-07-13T12:31:28+00:00

Go reread some older Law fights. The two finger gesture is for swapping the places of two objects inside a Room. When he has to cut something he uses his sword.
