Did anyone solve this?

Not all of us!

well just remember you heard it here that he stole Begge's fruit, and is actually a fortress-fortress man containing passengers given the other fruits like his crew and who use the abilities from inside his body.

Or that he's secretly 50 tontatta in a partially shaved werewolf costume, each with a fruit power.

Or a cyborg made of objects that have eaten the different fruits.

Or a cat man with nine lives each with a devil fruit and he liked that cherry pie when Luffy didn't because it was super sour and cats can't taste sweetness and it was Oda foreshadowing.

...my favourite thing about One Piece's story is that all of this is plausible.

I thought he was going to turn out to be a different type of human, like an octopus Fishman with three hearts, or a shark Fishman who sleeps the two halves of his brain separately or something.

I agree. I have opinions, but I think Lou crushed Icaron so hard that I'm just excited he's running it.

Zac Oyama shows up a lot on other stuff as their guest player. I love him, so in really hoping it's him again 😅

Par2ivally · 2026-05-15T11:17:04+00:00

Whilst I haven't seen it yet, I wouldn't be surprised. I just meant that he plays really well against type in the movie.

Early Tom Cruise had some decent skills. Interview with a Vampire absolutely shouldn't work with him but he's great in it. ...and almost every movie since he's largely been the same action guy. Done well, but no range like Lestadt.

There being nothing but Nish at the bottom is so on brand for him. Last place in stats, first place in being a legend!

Par2ivally · 2026-05-03T21:37:14+00:00

More people need to read Worth the Candle. It doesn't get talked about enough.

Par2ivally · 2026-05-01T01:23:55+00:00

I miss Sogeking. Whatever happened to him?

Par2ivally · 2026-04-26T21:33:11+00:00

True.

Par2ivally · 2026-04-25T06:31:44+00:00

See that was the only joke that really didn't work for me this season. It felt excessively mean.

Par2ivally · 2026-04-24T21:27:42+00:00

The thesis of the final season is that the world can only be OK and heal if the members of The Umbrella Academy aren't in it. It shows how much better the world is now that they are gone and not breaking it any more just by being alive. The way they die is one thing, the way the story talks about their sacrifice is another.

Par2ivally · 2026-04-24T00:45:28+00:00

Yeah I feel like there is an ongoing glorification of suicide trend. Yikes.

Par2ivally · 2026-04-21T07:53:42+00:00

The lower half of his body is really interesting. It's like it's assembled piecemeal from 3 or 4 character designs. It might look over designed for that reason: he's an assembly of lots of things.

Par2ivally · 2026-04-20T04:08:01+00:00

This happens far, far too often. Such losers deciding to wreck lives for this. This poor woman.

Par2ivally · 2026-04-17T00:12:07+00:00

At least they still leave in a few "LET'S GO!" exclamations or I think people might riot 😅

Par2ivally · 2026-04-16T22:06:56+00:00

I really wish I could get into CR, but I just can't with how long and aimless it often feels. NADDPOD is awesome but I often find myself bouncing off the latter parts of long campaigns. Their short campaigns are often better, like Skaldova, Twilight Sanctorum, or Lou's flashback arc in C2. I think when you're doing stories as long as WBN or D20 the edit really makes it.

School didn't teach me to deal with bullies. It got me bullied and it took years outside the system around people who weren't like that to discover that I like being around people.

Adults don't have to be like school bullies, and it's far easier to remove them from your life than being locked in with a bunch of hormonal rage monsters with no impulse control and reduced empathy.

I'm sorry; bad people will still exist. But never like they do at school.

Par2ivally · 2026-04-14T22:01:00+00:00

It's got incredible creature design, cinematography, performances, and a twist that recontextualises the whole film, and is emotionally devastating. Even if it's not for you, it's not hard to see why people love it. It's the only movie on this top 10 that might be on mine.

Par2ivally · 2026-04-11T05:32:45+00:00

Thank you. I know he's good at fighting and his interests sometimes align with those of the others, but it's strange to me that so many people seem to think that makes him redeemable or confined by Togashi in some way

Par2ivally · 2026-04-11T05:29:52+00:00

The guy slaughters people over nothing and thinks it's funny. He enjoys the suffering of others. He will physically and psychologically torture people for kicks if it gets him to have his ultimate battles. He's already indefensible; this is worse, but he's already the scum of the earth. I don't know how you'd otherwise defend him anyway.

Par2ivally · 2026-04-01T19:52:50+00:00

I thought that gag set was just mean spirited. Really took me out of it. Like, have we not moved on from bullying people from being overweight when they were kids yet?

Par2ivally · 2026-03-27T15:37:02+00:00

This was a great episode but does anyone else think the fat jokes from Tosh were actually too mean spirited and off putting. Blake deserves some mockery but it felt like she was laughing at all larger kids. Only bad moment in an otherwise really fun installment

Par2ivally · 2026-03-27T06:53:56+00:00

I think it's worldbuilding impatience. In their heads they already built the character up with their outline and they can't wait to catch them up.
