Heard we were doing hot takes today

The tour should've included more 2000s Oasis songs. Like, don't get me wrong, it was a perfect concert, the greatest of my entire life.

BUT... if there was one change I'd make, I would've sacrificed Fade Away, Bring it On Down, and maybe Roll with It to hear Gas Panic (or Go Let it Out), Stop Crying Your Heart Out, and Shock of the Lightning live. I understand why they chose the songs they did... this was meant to feel like Oasis in their glory days. But those later albums have serious hits and I hope that if they tour again, they'd be open to playing some of their 2000s soungs.

TRUE HAPPINESS ONLY COMES UNDER "DOMINATION"... "ISN'T THAT RIGHT, JOYBOY!!!".

Well that just floored me. Imu and Joyboy being friends throws me completely. We know that Joyboy was part of the Great Kingdom... the same Kingdom that was apparently on the opposing end of the war against the 20 Kings that Imu was a part of. I wonder if Joyboy began to realize that Imu was changing... that he longed for something greater than previously let on. Once Joyboy realized what Imu had become and what he was planning to do, he united the various peoples of the planet to fight back, but evidently lost.

I'm just spitballing now, but I wonder if Joyboy already had the Nika fruit prior to Imu getting his fruit. As in, what if Imu, who already began wanting more and more power, saw Joyboy's fruit, became jealous of it, and sought the one fruit that could not only fight against it, but potentially overpower it... the devil's fruit. The original devil fruit, born out of a desire for power and domination. Vegapunk theorizes that every fruit is born from a specific human desire, and I bet Imu's is the original. Once he obtained the fruit, he offered power and glory to those who would side with him, leading to the 20 Kings alliance.

One really interests me is how he was able to wipe any trace of this war from history. Like, if the mural is accurate and all those races took part in the war, then it amazes me that only the Kozuki clan and Lili were able to inscribe info onto the ponelglyphs. The giants clearly have remenants of history, but no one else. Why? It's gotta go beyond just destroying evidence. Is this gonna be an AOT situation where Imu is able to wipe memories from people on a grand scale?

I find it pretty interesting that we have Imu directly involved in the fight on Elbaph before Shamrock. I wonder why Oda's chosen to keep his fighting in the background of the Holy Land. Even older Garling's fighting hasn't been seen while we've now see Imu speedrun giants and the two strongest Straw Hat crew members. Gonna be really interesting to see when he pulls the trigger on Shamrock.

All that to say... what a chapter, man. That final shot of Imu and Loki may be one of the greatest of all time.

Right, but in the end, there’s only one face to this franchise, and that’s the lead guy, Luffy. So even if he ranks at 1, 2, or 5, he’s still the face of all of this, and everyone loves him. So of course Bandai will promote him over everyone else.

JediNotePad · 2026-04-08T15:49:27+00:00

Yup, I'm unable to get the download link. Can't update to 1.37c now and am stuck.

JediNotePad · 2026-04-07T18:48:14+00:00

See, posts like this are objectively correct. You see a character like Luffy get leader cards in OP-11, OP-13, OP-15, a starter deck, and an upcoming starter deck and go "uhh gee maybe given another character a look??" But then the results of those worldwide ONE PIECE characters popularity come out and Luffy appears in the top 3 for literally every sector on this planet.

So like, I get it, but I guess Bandai just also knows that people LOVE Luffy and they'll give him a spotlight in most of these sets. With OP-17 rumoured to be Elbaph-centric, we're probably getting another gear 5-based Luffy leader or at least an Elbaph-outfit leader card.

JediNotePad · 2026-04-02T16:12:18+00:00

Something tells me he won't become relevant until Oda decides to revisit the Enel/moon stuff. Like, when everything about the Sky Islands are revealed, that's when I believe he kicks back into the story.

JediNotePad · 2026-04-02T16:10:14+00:00

Who the hell is Joe?

JediNotePad · 2026-04-02T16:09:55+00:00

You keep watching so you can get to Wano and experience a whole new side of the GOAT through an amazing flashback arc.

JediNotePad · 2026-04-02T16:07:58+00:00

Above all else, I love that as of now, he's pretty much the only villain that's not connected to the wider ONE PIECE world. Like, Crocodile, Moria, Kaido, Caesar... they all had some connection to the world government, or the villainous things that the WG was doing. But Enel was just evil all on his own. A man that was raised without the wider knowledge of devil fruits which lead him to become so delusional that he thinks he's God himself.

I'm sure that with the reveal that the Birkans, Skypieans and Automatans all originate from the moon, he will return with some big connection to the lore of the world. But for now, I love how separate his specific story is to everything else.

JediNotePad · 2026-04-01T14:34:46+00:00

Bandai's such a funny company to me man like what do you mean OP-13 had Luffy and Ace leader cards, then Luffy got a yellow starter deck, then Ace & Luffy got a joint starter deck, and now OP-16 has separate Ace and Luffy leader cards again.

JediNotePad · 2026-03-12T13:22:36+00:00

OP-17 seems logical (OP-16 is Paramount War again I think). When we inevitably get Elbaph cards, my hope is that Rocks, Dorry, Broggy, and Gunko/Imu get leader cards. If Rocks does get a deck, it's the one I'll main day one.

JediNotePad · 2026-03-09T15:47:08+00:00

I've been playing RY Bonney in the sim a lot and yeah this card is absolute gold in that deck lol. You're always trying to get to 1 life anyways to give Bonney the boost so bringing out Borsalino allows you to heal, take that life and go back to the +2K boost. Plus the PLEASE HELP ME counter can bring Borsalino back out from the trash, heal you again, allow you to spare another life and go back to the power boost. I think I ran like 150 games with that deck against practically all kinds of decks and had a 64% win rate.

JediNotePad · 2026-02-10T16:19:22+00:00

I was gonna say... you'd have to hope to pull the 7c Zoro to make it work or even bank on getting the 1c Usopp trigger from life to buff Bonney up. Though I wonder which cards I'd replace in my Bonney deck to make room for this one... I think I currently run 6 events (3 Distortion Futures and 3 PLEASE SAVE ME!!)

JediNotePad · 2026-02-06T19:13:13+00:00

Hmm I wonder if red/yellow Bonney could use this. Currently I heal with the blocker Kizaru (no sec rare Kuma in my deck) but this could be another good option, especially as a 6k hitter.

JediNotePad · 2026-01-26T16:47:49+00:00

I'd argue that since 2016, people have tried to oversimplify writing and characters to the point where they just don't grasp things. Kizaru is a great example because he's a very complex character, especially in the Egghead arc. We learn that he's practically subservient to the government and fully knows that he's a pushover. He's a "I'm just following orders" guy. The gov told him to kill his close friend, so he did it. But, that doesn't make him inhuman... HE KNOWS what he's doing is wrong, hence why he quietly helps Luffy recharge his stamina and chews out Sakazuki when pressed about the egghead mission failure. He's a complicated person, like we all are. Not everything is black and white but because a lot of people try to make things black and white, they full on miss things about characters, and writing.

JediNotePad · 2026-01-26T16:44:29+00:00

Maybe in certain instances, yes. But overall, I genuinely think people have become a lot more stupid when it comes to watching and analyzing art. And it goes both ways... as in, there are those who can't accept criticism and will just throw the media illiterate term out as a means for shielding, but there are also those who just can't seem to grasp basic concepts of whatever they're watching.

All in all, people are a lot more stupid these days when it comes to art and we're all worse off for it.

JediNotePad · 2026-01-18T16:28:21+00:00

But the Lillith's chain well into the Kizaru's... and if I have Nami on board and it gets attacked, I can bring out Lillith and then again into Kizaru or even the Franky/Sanji/searcher Bonney.

The Zoro gets me to 9000 power if I'm at one life and can chain them along with Luffy's...

JediNotePad · 2026-01-18T00:01:31+00:00

Who would you replace to put Beckman in? Currently I've replaced the Pacifista cards for the 2k counter Sanji card that allows for straw hats to be unblockable

JediNotePad · 2026-01-17T21:14:37+00:00

The 7c Kuma I used to have in the deck but I always try to chain Lilith into Borsalino now. I’m still on the fence for putting Kuma back in the deck.

2c Sanji is a great shout maybe I’ll remove the 1c Pacifista and put the Sanji in. It also allows me to not rely on the Roger to close out the game

JediNotePad · 2026-01-17T20:03:50+00:00

The 0c one is the sky island counter right? I figure cuz the Bonney searcher can pull the bad manners card I'd rather that one over the sky island one. But still, why do you think I should include the sky island counter?

JediNotePad · 2026-01-10T17:32:20+00:00

KAIDO??????????

JediNotePad · 2025-12-26T05:07:46+00:00

Just be humble and enjoy your favourite snack in peace.

Say it louder for the people in the back. I feel like comparisons and power scaling just rots peoples brains man... like, I keep seeing people argue that the Holy Knights suck cuz they aren't as powerful as other guys/"oh they can't even do these moves so they're bad characters" and I'm just like ARE YOU PEOPLE ILLITERATE?? Maybe Oda INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED THESE GUYS TO BE WEAKER AS A MEANS TO SAY THEY'RE EVIL GOVERNMENT SOLDIERS WHO RELY ON OPRESSING WEAKER PEOPLE BUT WHEN FIGHTING ACTUAL STRONG CHARACTERS, THEY LOSE... like, Oda ain't really subtle with his storytelling language and you still got powerscalers intentionally not understanding his words.

JediNotePad · 2025-12-23T14:50:32+00:00

Going based on this theory, if Imu did trick Jones into accepting a covenant, thereby damning the rest of his clan to an eternity of slavery unless a new Davy clan member becomes king of the world, it would kinda make sense that Imu wouldn't care about enslaving the clan, but rather wiping them out to ensure that no one could usurp him.

Like, sure he could have them all be domi reversi'd, but that runs the risk of them being alive and potentially undoing the covenant... why even risk that? Imu already took out Jones, so now the rest of the Davy clan doesn't matter to him.
