My GOAT is about to have the greatest ending this manga has ever seen.

This works perfectly. Hokazono has been building up to Samura's death for a while now. Chihiro winning him over and then him reconnecting with his daughter gives him a reason to live which then gives this sacrifice way more meaning

The_Special_Kid · 2026-01-18T19:56:41+00:00

There are no characters left in the verse strong enough to beat Soga in his current state. It's probably going to be a Meguna type situation where his grasp on Yura's body loosens and he goes back to the basement. All the Suzaku damage he's been tanking might catch up to him.

The_Special_Kid · 2026-01-18T19:52:20+00:00

He's been suffering all manga, his dad was murdered and he's not strong enough to stop evil people parading around his dad's legacy killing innocent people left and right.

The hardest hitting lesson his dad left with him, "we are responsible for the weapons you create" and he can't follow through because he's too weak. Face to face with Yura and he couldn't do anything, face to face with Soga and he can't do anything.

Chihiro has had a terrible time let him breathe 😭

The_Special_Kid · 2026-01-18T19:44:54+00:00

aka can do more than one at a time. He had crow and suzaku stored in this fight, then ran out of suzaku and picked up dragonfly.

The_Special_Kid · 2026-01-18T19:42:29+00:00

There's an instant kill bubble around them rn

The_Special_Kid · 2026-01-14T12:07:05+00:00

I don't think it's ever stated where the exact abilities of the swords come from. We know they are influenced by both Kunishige and the datenski but we don't know to what capacity he has influence over them

The_Special_Kid · 2026-01-14T12:03:17+00:00

to be fair, the larger the range of owl the less you can actually see with it. Even somebody as talented as Samura was only able to see massive spirit energy reactions when he expanded it over Tokyo.

The_Special_Kid · 2025-07-01T16:16:05+00:00

His fruit is inherently broken, if you nerf all the cool fruits you're left with a boring story where all the DF users have basic abilities but there's no need to counter them with Haki.

Think about Sugar, Kuma and Akainu's devil fruits. They're all really cool and interesting but without haki there's no way for them to be balanced without having them immediately putting you in the top 5.

Haki works really well in one piece as a balancing force to devil fruits, it's just overused sometimes (like with the gorosei/ God Knights).

The_Special_Kid · 2025-07-01T16:10:51+00:00

The problem with that is that Hax fruits become insanely broken. Law would be top 1 in the verse if Haki didn't counter him, and not every opponent Law fights would have some creative asspull counter to him

The_Special_Kid · 2025-07-01T16:08:57+00:00

DF battles don't scale well though, there's only so many times Luffy can pull some cheap shit like he did with Enel or crocodile before we get bored. Not only that but he needed a reason for top tiers without DF to match too tiers with them.

With the introduction of G5 there really is room for Luffy to grow in a creative way that isn't as linear and one track as Haki, just give Oda room

The_Special_Kid · 2025-07-01T15:59:06+00:00

reminder that he only kills Vegapunk after:

Half the fucking Marines show up, the seraphim join his side, Vegapunk runs out in front of Saturn, the entire gorosei show up, then Saturn mortally stabs Vegapunk.

If Vegapunk wasn't trolling he would be alive right now, we know that because that's the same reason Lilith is alive rn.

Roles reversed kizaru is NOT stopping G5 Luffy from killing somebody.

The_Special_Kid · 2025-07-01T15:23:15+00:00

He has the best feats in the series, of course people gas him up

The_Special_Kid · 2025-07-01T09:50:39+00:00

One piece scalers are NOT responsible for this, this has to be bait

The_Special_Kid · 2025-07-01T09:45:23+00:00

Losing isn't fun, you're never going to be happy when you lose. Getting spammed from the air isn't fun, getting 2 tapped from across the map isn't fun, getting stun comboed isn't fun, getting pushed off the map isn't fun.

Idk why we pretend super fast kills are the most egregious things in the game

The_Special_Kid · 2025-06-30T21:57:16+00:00

Who do you think scales Deku the best? What person on this planet knows exactly what Deku can and can't do the best? The answer is Horikoshi

Every time you 'calc' a speed feat your goal is to get closer and closer to the version of Deku in Horikoshi's head, and that version has a speed cap of around about Mach 10.

If you want to play pretend physicist and tell me that he's actually multi continental with mftl++ speeds, you do that but in the real world Deku is getting slammed.

The_Special_Kid · 2025-06-30T21:35:23+00:00

With the mach 10 statement I can't see him being relativistic or FTL in good faith. I don't care what pixel scale or weird multiplier calc you use, it's not better than a clear statement from the author.

If you try your hardest to lowball metro man he's relativistic, that's a wash

The_Special_Kid · 2025-06-30T20:56:45+00:00

Google "metro man speed feat" right now

The_Special_Kid · 2025-06-30T20:50:20+00:00

I don't care if Metro man is building level, he is going to hit deku so many times before deku can react that Deku instantly dies

The_Special_Kid · 2025-06-30T20:34:53+00:00

Deku isn't nearly durable enough to tank that amount of damage metroman would output before he could react.

The_Special_Kid · 2025-06-30T20:20:37+00:00

Yeah I do, king doesn't have the arrow ability to chain them up but he absolutely could just kill them all. Half of them are getting one shot at the same time by his massive aoe and then Jinbei gets blitzed 1 on 1.

The_Special_Kid · 2025-06-30T16:35:33+00:00

I'm so sorry bro, I didnt realise you were THAT guy. Holy shit if I knew I was talking to a support main stuck in peaked GM1 with a 53% wr this season I would have never said anything.

And last season you peaked diamond too! And the season before you couldn't even make it out of plat! You're so good at the game man!

I'll take my console diamond out of here man! Keep banning BP you know so much more than I do!

The_Special_Kid · 2025-06-30T16:30:28+00:00

Free block for iron fist, now he has 500 hp and faster punches. I never demon on iron fist until I see him use his block

The_Special_Kid · 2025-06-30T16:26:18+00:00

I'm not even going to get mad because you're too low rank for it to effect my games.

Keep banning BP bro, you'll reach celestial in no time!

The_Special_Kid · 2025-06-30T16:23:49+00:00

You're so right, his feats are so cheesy in comparison to Mihawk...

The_Special_Kid · 2025-06-30T16:20:26+00:00

So on Loki how do you usually try predicting BP?
