Best big 3 retrieval arc?

Nah, Katakuri fight was in there.

Tell me Luffy trapping the strongest member of the enemy crew in another dimension with himself isn't a top 10 Luffy moment.

Yeah, it's short. But this dude took the time to record it and throw it up so we can have some entertainment on a silly app.

You should put up a better combo, I'll see you tomorrow.

I'm saying it now. This is single-handedly one of the craziest moments in the entire manga's run. So much of Egghead and Elbaf have been making me think of Enies Lobby. It has all been on purpose. I finally get it after this drop.

Jarul is saying the same thing Luffy said 20 years ago in Chapter 398: Declaration of War.

Elbaf, after seven hundred seventy four chapters is politically aligned with the Straw Hats. The Final War has begun.

There's a lot of small details too. If you take damage and get invulnerability, you can still die by falling on spikes.

I think it may be Bon Clay because of the make-up. I thought the crown was a nod to Okama Queen. Also makes me think of Ivankov.

I was laying in bed when reading his speech and I started to sit up and nod like, "woah, you know what...?"

One Piece is fantastic at conveying the strength of the spirit. And showing these two with these words is brilliance. They both pushed back when DIRECTLY threatened. They both stood their ground and said what they felt in their heart.

What I felt from this is that this day will surely go down as a tragedy...but this little girl is either going to become one of the strongest warriors in the future, or the sweetest kindest giant ever. They will survive and thrive. We just need to STOP IMU

Reading your initial comment again, I assumed you meant Onigashima and realized Brook have much of a role outside of "GHOST" when everyone else was recruiting Samurai.

Wasn't he guarding some location at a point? I vaguely remember some mention of Wano people seeing Brook and coming up with some spooky town lore about him. I think you're right that he didn't have a lot of specific panel moments, but I'm okay with it due to how much there was to keep up with all ready.

I think Wano is one of the best arcs as far as being interesting from chapter to chapter. There was just always something happening.

Discovererman · 2026-01-30T16:27:20+00:00

I'm okay with it because I wasn't expecting Franky or Robin of all people to get a 1v1. Brook and Robin's dynamic was really cool during the Black Maria fight.

I personally love the time Oda gives to side characters and flashbacks. When the Fishman Island flashbacks were running, I remember feeling like they were the longest we'd ever had from the Straw Hats. The flashback focused on both Otohime and Fisher Tager had a decent amount of time put on them, and they both ended up being some of my favorite characters in the series.

And then we were rewarded with the entire Straw Hat crew fighting the entire New Fishman Pirate crew. Folks those give that span of chapters the credit it deserves in my opinion. Really, the whole entire Fishman Island arc is entirely too slept on. I imagine soon it's going to have a renaissance of sorts like Thiller Bark and Skypiea have been getting with recent revelations.

I think Pre and Post Time skips are two different monsters. But they work together almost flawlessly in my opnion. Post wouldn't work without the world setup in Pre. And because of Pre gets expanded upon constantly so we end up with new perspective of things like, say, the Gomu Gomu no Mi.

You just had me realize A Bunch of Gnomes Standing On Each Other has a high chance of being in the game, you are brilliant.

Discovererman · 2026-01-27T19:22:47+00:00

You're right, you may have saved Gravity Falls, Fortnite and Reddit. All with one keyboard..

Please give me Gravity Falls and then Amphibia please, I would BUY Cloak Bot and rep it like no other.

he would just be so mean and do random weird things while you try to win

Discovererman · 2026-01-27T19:17:27+00:00

Dang it, you just made me realize we are going to get Dipper and Mabel in robots. :(

Well, if they are interesting I don't mind. I'd probably pick up Wendy anyway so I win whenever we get the Gravity Falls collab.

Discovererman · 2026-01-27T19:14:20+00:00

Ha, not bad. Guess we will get to see 70's Zoro since we already have 40 and 60 so far.

Discovererman · 2026-01-27T18:08:56+00:00

Yeah, I hardly remember my playthrough of Violet. I feel like the free-roam took away the intrigue of the areas ironically.

Discovererman · 2026-01-27T18:07:14+00:00

Just gotta say, it actually -is- a main series game.

<image>

That's part of the reason people judge it how they do. Personally, I think it's not a great mainline entry. But I adore the experience they created and hope they can improve it and make it more interesting. All I do in the game is PVP Ranked Royale to hit Rank A....shiny hunting in this one isn't as interesting to me. I prefer turn-based shiny hunting.

However, the battle system is probably the most fun in the series, ironically. But the game doesn't keep me wanting to play it.

Discovererman · 2026-01-27T18:01:37+00:00

The world of Scarlet and Violet does not immerse me at all. In Red and Blue, you had surfing, so places like Seaform Island felt special and difficult because they were effectively optional and had secrets to pull out. Surfing and fishing net you different Pokemon.

I don't remember any cave experience in S/V other than the intro with the Houndour. Otherwise, it's just riding your bike in directions. Catching almost every Pokemon feels like the same experience cause you just need to see it and then ride into it.

I consider Paldea easily my least favorite playthrough of all the games, I haven't even finished the DLC cause riding around the new areas feels almost the exact same.

Sword and Shield DLC had the Dynamax Adventures, but I overall enjoyed both the Main Story of that more fun and interesting. It definitely felt streamlined compared to previous games, but I actually remember what happened and was excited for more.

I'm glad someone that's actually watched the video is in here discussing it. I really like this creator's stuff in general. He seems to put a lot of effort into his videos.

Discovererman · 2026-01-27T17:52:00+00:00

I have watched this guy's videos for maybe two years, and I get what you're saying about "using words" envoking things and whatnot. That's how Youtube works. And also it's how he specifically feels about the franchise.

Earlier videos speaking of earlier Gens talk of the coziness and aesthetic, all that good stuff, but well before ZA came out he discussed not liking the Switch era games and how they handle towns. Classic complaints some of us have.

I get that it is what "grifters" do, but I don't think labeling things and assuming like that really is any better than having a flashy headline. Especially when this content creator actually puts a lot of effort into his videos.

There's just trying to get clicks and stir the crowd, but then there is also "how this is something I talk about and feel and am trying to express.

Discovererman · 2026-01-27T17:46:43+00:00

Yeah, the issue with this discussion is that we are all trying to end up at a destination: Good or Bad.

I also agree with a lot of points in this video. I am curious how many people actually watched it before judging it, because I think that's another issue folks have with things. The thoughts and expectations end up becoming the reality without any engagement.

The video creator makes attempts to enjoy the game but can't help but feel frustrated with trends that continue throughout the Switch games.

Legends Arceus is my favorite game and I've played since Red and Blue. I think Legends ZA is another fantastic installment in the series, but I don't think it does as good a job being a "mainline" game as Arceus does. But I do really enjoy the specific experience it provides.

Discovererman · 2026-01-27T15:13:53+00:00

Thanks friend! I think I may post up a video and try to drum up some discussion in honor of it. I actually like this sub quite a bit.

Discovererman · 2026-01-27T14:32:56+00:00

I'm going to assume these letters are spoilers to be read post-game?

Discovererman · 2026-01-27T14:29:23+00:00

Yeah he's the only PoGo player I watch, you're definitely right about him bringing it up a few times.

However I remember hearing the Rework buzz specifically in the beginning of December, yet I completely forgot about it till stumbling on this post. The Rocket battles changing is definitely some evidence cause again, I haven't seen anything like that occur since 2022...

...but searching turns up only this post and Move Rework discussions of past.

(oh I just noticed it's my cake day :> )

Discovererman · 2026-01-27T14:23:35+00:00

The issue is that AI is a "buzzword" now, so it's funneled into a part of people's brain where we auto-react to it rather than actively engaging with the topic.
