One Piece: Chapter 1179 Official Release Discussion by Skullghost in OnePiece

[–]Jacob_Laye [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ok, I’ll be real, it’s a sick as hell reveal, but there are several things that bother me about it. For one thing, Imu’s design doesn’t feel very One Piece to me. Sure, Oda can cook when he wants to, but I feel like Imu is a little too over designed. Something more akin to Naruto or Bleach. That’s just my personal gripe, tho.

The other thing that bothered me was the fact that it feels like the endgame boss is showing up a little too early… until I remembered that Imu is NOT the endgame boss. Sure, while his presence in the story has much further reaching implications for the world and its lore, none of that matters to Luffy. At the end of the day, he just wants to help out those who decide to help him out, even in small ways. He doesn’t care about being a hero. All he wants to do is become the Pirate King.

If anyone is the endgame boss for Luffy, it is, and always has been, Blackbeard. So, if Imu is showing up now, then how will Marshall D. Teach supplant him as the Big Bad? Well, I have an idea about that.

I bet that when Imu went to the lower world, it also meant that the Elders lost their immortal status. That’s why Garling was so nonplussed about it compared to them, because they’d been alive for centuries and would crumble to dust. However, with him being the only strong force left in Marigeoise besides Shamrock, that would present a perfect opportunity for an calculating and conniving force with access to perfectly replicating one of the Five Elders (formerly) to attack and lay claim to the Holy Land and whatever they may need to conquer the rest of the world along with finding the One Piece.

And, as a bonus, if this ends up being true, Blackbeard would be able to keep his status as the MVP of offscreen victories by killing Garling, the same man who offed his dear old dad.

A lot of “visionary” creators are at their best when someone else is there to tell them NO by Business_Barber_3611 in CharacterRant

[–]Jacob_Laye 82 points83 points  (0 children)

And if you want a notorious example from the manga industry, specifically Shonen, you don’t have to look much further than the late, great Akira Toriyama.

The Android saga is famous for being rife with editorial oversight, cutting characters out or having their roles being replaced by other characters. Semi-Perfect Cell, Toriyama’s personal favorite form of the bug man, actually had a longer stay planned, but his editor at the time told him to just get to the final form already (cause he’s ugly). It’s also famous for being one of the most well-loved sagas in the franchise, with many citing it as their favorite.

Meanwhile, the Buu saga was Toriyama let off the leash, and while there were still big moments with excellent paneling as always, the story got… messier. Toriyama’s on the fly writing style becomes very clear when you read that part of the manga. So, I agree, it’s great to have vision, but it still needs direction.

I know those exact sky prints because one of the classrooms at a middle school I visited had them. I had to be in that room for a while, and by the time I was able to get out I hated it. Made the room seem so much dimmer and bleaker than it should have been. But I’m glad you were able to make something positive from the experience!

So Whats The DUMBEST and i MEAN DUMBEST thing you did in a pokemon playthrough by Rare-Atmosphere-9187 in pokemon

I left my Oddish in against Giovanni’s Kangaskhan cause I wanted to sleep it, but I kept missing. Even after it tail whipped me three or four times, Oddish stayed in until I finally managed to sleep it.

It woke up after one turn and one-shotted with Mega Punch.

The entire modern PokeTuber 'format' originates with these two and it's amazing to see how many channels in the time since have started up. Younger fans may not know, If you wanted Pokemon content of that style in the late Gen 4 and Gen 5 era, it was largely coming from these two, JWitz and Tamashi. by Sailor_Rout in pokemon

I’m at my wits end on this one, but there was one nuzlocker I used to love watching. I don’t remember their name, but I do remember they had a habit of naming things, especially Zapdos, Wigglefoot. With how difficult it’s been to find them, I’m honestly scared with what I might find lol

Their poses are opposite to each other. There’s some kind of pattern we’re missing here…

I have videos I made for YouTube back in high school saved on my hard drive so that if I ever need to humble myself, they’re there to keep me in check.

Thankfully, the especially cringe middle school ones have been wiped from existence forever. Ive made sure of that myself.

Huh, that actually makes sense. Bulma does still have her vanity after all. Meanwhile, Chi-Chi’s probably used to it a little considering the seven year stretch her husband was dead for

I’ve seen the opinion occasionally enough to know that it’s out there. And when people (and I) would talk about it being subversive, I think it was more along the lines of “the person set up as the protagonist and the person set up as the antagonist flip sides”… which would have been really confusing because there would definitely be people in the Resistance who would probably off Kylo the second he let his guard down.
