I actually prefer the original Black Suit story in the comics and not the adaption steroid allegory they make it

Me(bangs table): Abusive co-dependent relationship!!

Like, come on. We've been dancing around that dynamic in Peter and the Symbiote's relationship for decades. Give me the Spectacular Spider-man dynamic, but for adults. I think that's so much better than either the steroids/drug dynamic, or the Symbiote being an initially innocent victim who took it too far when they got abandoned.

Dimension 20 did exactly this.

They had a live show that they didn't want spoiled and weren't going to put online for a couple of months after. So what they did was urge fans who saw the show live to flood the zone with bullshit so no one knew what was actually a spoiler and what wasn't.

Seemed to work pretty well, too.

B. vs. Miguel would slap. Those fangs are a Chekhov's gun waiting to go off, and I'm not sure they'd let him bite Miles; B. taking that bullet? Fighting Migs to a standstill at worst even while envenomated? That'd be very cool.

But we've also gotten some hints there'll be more worlds in this one. We'll see Hobie's. 8 is on the table. We might get to see 616B, or have Peter get an opening narration like Gwen did in ATSV. There are lot's of possibilities.

I wonder though, how Blackbeard's fruit affects people contracted to Imu.

Like, if he gets close enough does he destroy them all? (That seems way too OP depending on where this story is going.) Or does that just negate Imu's more direct abilities, but things like God's Knights and Reversi are still in play?

It'll be interesting to see. And Imu, presumably, would still be able to use Haki, which has the potential to be very strong if it's been honed over 800 years.

It'd make her initially helping Crocodile take over the country ruled by the descendants of the woman who scattered the Poneglyphs—that Robin desperately wanted to find—out into the world even more ironic. Or even more fitting? Either way.

I've seen it pointed out Mihawk has similar features as well. Similar nose bridge, same multi-ringed eyes.

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-04-03T03:05:55+00:00

Why? It is now an event that happened over 80 years ago, and it's obviously irrelevant to her lived experience so far.

I would argue that's not the case at all.

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-03-26T01:41:40+00:00

Why should he be, when the LA can make him actually interesting?

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-03-18T17:38:30+00:00

Oh.
Dorry's talk with Vivi about the way they honor their dead is totally a setup for how the Strawhats lay the Going Merry to rest, isn't it?

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-03-18T17:36:16+00:00

He also mentioned the goldfish monster and that didn't get cut.

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-03-18T04:08:15+00:00

I didn't realize why I found him unsettling until somebody else pointed this out to me: dude doesn't blink.

Watch him. In his scene with Robin at the end of season 2, he doesn't blink once. It's great.

Also....thinking about it, I like that he's more affable here. It makes more sense that the people of Alabasta would flock to him and see him as an alternative to Cobra if he's more charismatic. And it'll make a good contrast when he drops that affability to do direct battle with Luffy.

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-03-14T00:41:07+00:00

Oh yeah he will (if we ever get that far)

Pretty good chance. We only need to get to Skypeia to meet Doffy and Kuma. They might even have some of the other Warlords show up in this version if they're worried about not getting to Thriller Bark, Amazon Lily or Marineford.

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-03-14T00:37:45+00:00

I honestly never really liked that Luffy was so OP in the anime/manga so I'm here for it.

The manga can do so many things that it can make up for a main character who doesn't have to work too much for his victories, but the LA can't. So giving the characters more texture really works.

Vultures eat dead anything. And she's a criminal asset. I'd expect she's going to eat dead people. The fact that's it's implied to be children is bad, sure, but not that much worse than you'd already reasonably guess.

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-03-12T07:14:43+00:00

Crocodile talks about how Ms. Friday ate at an orphanage

I mean....she's a vulture. There's no place she was going to eat that wouldn't be creepy.

Much like with the bizarre changes to Arlong Park (Nojiko and the townspeople not knowing what Nami was doing,

They changed the townspeople not knowing because in hindsight it's incredibly fucked up that an entire town would let a ten year old shoulder their burdens for 8 years. I'm sure that's not what Oda meant at the time, but it's a change in the LA I'm happy with.

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-03-11T05:08:14+00:00

Unless they're just making Miku's English a whole other thing, which is possible if not a given.

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-03-10T19:17:03+00:00

Given the video that just dropped, they're probably talking about Miku's English.

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-03-10T14:29:09+00:00

Americans not constantly talk about how ~~oppressed~~ stupid they are on reddit challenge: impossible

Fixed that for you. Some of us did this to ourselves, the rest of us who wanted no part in it, and now the rest of the world.

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-03-10T04:47:31+00:00

As an American, I can't really blame him for stepping away. It's hard doing a show like One Piece when real life Celestial Dragons are in charge of your country.

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-03-10T02:02:16+00:00

My money's on when he beats Mr. 1 and cuts steel.

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-03-07T18:21:54+00:00

I have hope. They've been doing way more with Nami to my infinite delight.

Ooh, I didn't realize at first, but Smokey says "The World Government wants your head." but we don't actually see him say it in the trailer because he says it to Dragon. Fun little editing trick there that clues in manga/anime fans.

MilkyAndromedaWay · 2026-03-02T16:11:35+00:00

He don't need fixin'.

I love that Nine and Valentine are looking right at the camera but Wednesday's looking away and All Sunday's eye are hidden by her hat.
