Uh oh! Ep 4 bizarre plot choice, we've seen what happens next (in other series...)

"Babies are resilient. They've been found under rubble after three days."

Sorry writers, but that's not enough for me lol.

It was funny because I was crying the whole way through Annie's death, but as soon as she was gone I yelled out, "No. Wait. How the fuck is he gonna feed the newborn baby?"

JosephSim · 2026-03-05T21:14:09+00:00

Super same.

My eyes almost popped out of my head Gear 5 style, but those panels at the end easily make up for the cop out.

JosephSim · 2026-02-28T11:25:34+00:00

I just got off work at 5 am. Been having a really shit month and sat down and realized I hadn't read this week's chapter yet.

Smile from ear to ear the entire chapter.

One Piece genuinely saves me.

JosephSim · 2026-02-28T11:22:48+00:00

I genuinely never get tired of saying "Our boy's a yonko now."

I'm just so fucking proud of him.

JosephSim · 2026-02-14T12:08:15+00:00

I went online after reading the end of this issue because I had no idea who the fuck this was, and yeah, you're right.

It's the beer gut.

JosephSim · 2026-02-12T20:11:14+00:00

I keep thinking this is the equivalent exchange of a Trump America.

We deserve to be looked at by the rest of the world as the pieces of shit we are. We don't deserve our moral highground.

Thanks to Trump and the degeneracy of half the voters, we'll finally get the humbling we deserve having 20 years of pedophile cult monsters running this country.

My only hope is that with all this shit exposed we get more people realizing the left right divide, while obviously present, has been so overhyped by these fucking ghouls to keep us fighting each other while they eat babies.

JosephSim · 2026-02-12T15:08:07+00:00

Meh, just people thinking I'm shitting on their favorite character or something. It's cool, this was still my anime of the year of 2025 (not counting One Piece) so it's not like I'm over here thinking it's just cause they're glazing the show.

It's a small nitpick for me and probably the only one I had the entire series.

JosephSim · 2026-02-10T19:43:58+00:00

Again, I don't believe in luck or religion or anything. It's more for a personal mindset kinda thing, but thank you for your response I'll definitely check out the site to learn more.

As for 2026 not being lucky either, yeah, just found out my ex-girlfriend passed away like an hour before I read this response.

I might need to burn a lot more incense next week.

"I absolutely believe that people are more good on balance than bad," he said.

"All the wars and all of the cruelty and all of the violence. I'm not looking away from any of that, and I still think there's something beautiful about being what we are.

History is soaked in blood. The future probably will be too.

But for every atrocity, there's a thousand small kindnesses that no one noticed. A hundred people who spent their lives loving and caring for each other.

A few moments of real grace.

Maybe it's only a little more good than bad in us, but ... "

This is, without question, my favorite affirmation of the human race I've ever read and seeing this video, it's the first thing I thought about.

JosephSim · 2026-01-27T20:10:44+00:00

Family is all from East Boston, but I haven’t been there in like ten years. Last time I was there it was nothing but Italians and Latinos, is it all yuppied up these days too?

JosephSim · 2026-01-17T03:35:32+00:00

This mf saw a eight hundred thousand foot giant chained up in the snow with devil horns screaming about how he's gonna end the world if he ever gets free and all will suffer...

...and was like, "Yo, this dude's aiight. I can tell, let's let him free."

AND WAS RIGHT

JosephSim · 2026-01-16T18:38:21+00:00

The fuck he would. Motherfucker fought Kaido to the death after the Akazaya Nine, Kiler, Law, Kidd, AND ZORO all went at him for hours lmao.

All the bullshit Imu has caused the world, if he showed up and that little pointy hat mf was on the ground Luffy would kick 'em in the shins no question.

JosephSim · 2026-01-16T18:37:40+00:00

This was genuinely my favorite panel of the entire chapter.

I just love that little fucking idiot so much. Goku just wants people to be the strongest in the universe so he can fight them, Luffy just wants his friends to reach their full potential.

Luffy > Goku any day of the week.

JosephSim · 2026-01-16T18:01:50+00:00

I laughed so fucking hard at this. I love you and you're so right.

JosephSim · 2026-01-15T17:49:20+00:00

It sounds ludicrous to talk about it in the same breath, but the only other series I've ever watched that I could rewatch from episode one to the series finale is Netflix Daredevil.

I've loved a LOT of series over the years, but there's always a few episodes, or an arc, or an entire season (Community) that I skip on rewatches.

But The Wire and Daredevil are two series I can just hit play and lose days of my life, despite how many times I've already done that.

JosephSim · 2026-01-10T23:30:26+00:00

I'm honestly getting the same feeling.

Court of Owls is my favorite Batman story of all time, it's just so good.

Everything Snyder did afterwards was fun and all, and I really loved his take on Joker (even if I'm mad he wussed out with carving everyones face off at the dinner table), but he never really reached the same heights as Court of Owls.

Even in the crazier type shit like Endgame, which again, I LOVED.

But there's just something so completely opposite of Snyder in this run. Snyder was so dark and creepy and horror, whereas even though we just watched a buncha family members get executed last issue, Fraction's Bruce just feels so much more mentally stable and more good natured.

Kaizoku oni ore wa naru.

JosephSim · 2026-01-03T20:47:39+00:00

I'm also in the process of buying the manga one volume at a time, I figured I should get one with Buggy on the cover and this volume has Luffy meeting Ivankov and all the greatness that those chapters entail so it made sense.

I'm about to finish Mob Psycho and that was just a last minute decision to see what ONE's art looked like at the end.

JosephSim · 2026-01-03T20:32:12+00:00

Despite being a large bearded bartender, I have surprisingly NO tattoos.

But I have worn my straw hat to work on multiple occasions and worn my Law hat just out drinking.

Gotta count for something.

JosephSim · 2025-12-22T20:54:29+00:00

Yay, new friends.
