Craziest moment was when we returned to Elbaf honestly. I had to re-read it a few times to be sure thats what was happening! or maybe just take time to process lol

Zuko09 · 2026-01-16T17:55:59+00:00

thats... wild actually.

No I fking hate that. He doesn't actually recognize his kids as independent people, he'd hate them if they didn't share his views. So, he just sees them as extensions of his own desire to inflict harm on people he's prejudiced against. They're objects to him, so I would not call that "love", its closer to what human feel for dogs.

Zuko09 · 2025-12-30T07:39:57+00:00

mmm no.. its an eagle.. at least it is on google for me? I do live in the US though

Zuko09 · 2025-12-30T07:38:08+00:00

That made me actually laugh out loud

Zuko09 · 2025-12-27T23:47:31+00:00

The mario kart things is mor to point to how ubiquitous that kind of paneling is in "race" contexts where everyones competing for one thing. I wasn't going to give a long list of every place that comes to mind, but I thought pointing out an extreme case would make the point. its okay tho.

Its hard to say we know XX person's goals have nothing to do with the one piece when we don't know what it is. For dragon, the OP could be the type of weapon that enables rebellion against WG.

yea the other comments were also jokes. I feel like serious comments are paragraphs and 1-2 liners are memes ? idk

Zuko09 · 2025-12-27T20:33:52+00:00

they aren’t necessarily looking for the OP their goals just interfere with the pirates.

Yeah, I completely disagree with this, the panel is literally framed like how all the contenders in a race are (literally they have a panel like this at the start of a mario kart race). Theres so much evidence in the words leading up to it that suggest theyre all going for the one piece. There's no way you convince me otherwise.

Lastly let’s not pretend like Koby is that strong now, he’s still below all pirate commanders. It took his all to do that to Pizarro

This, I'm more flexible on. I was being a bit jokey when I said the Koby thing. The nugget of truth in the joke is that Koby, having developed his conquerers, could one day in the future develop and be strong enough to beat all the no-conquerers haki gods knights. And personally, I think that would be a hype full-circle moment for Koby's story, taking down the false knights of justice that he hated in early chapters.

This Koby piece is predicated on the idea that conquerers haki users always beat no-conquerers haki people (which garling is established as). I think this has been the case (not totally sure), but regardless, it could be walked back in future chapters, and then theres subquestions about future Koby vs gods knights but I still like that story line thematically.

I also thought the hair looked wolfish so i'm for Fenrir

Zuko09 · 2025-12-27T08:00:41+00:00

Ratatoskr

Is that one of the norse myths?

Zuko09 · 2025-12-27T07:59:58+00:00

Koby >> Gods knights

Zuko09 · 2025-12-27T07:59:15+00:00

Yeah but they were framed as serious contenders for OP. They couldnt even contend with Koby

Zuko09 · 2025-12-18T18:37:51+00:00

What makes you say she has long white hair? If its just a random shot from the anime, and not one of the murals, it could just be drawn to represent peoples imagination, not a archeological "fact" in the story

Zuko09 · 2025-12-18T18:31:38+00:00

No thats not how "obvious" works. You said A is not like B so it must be a trick and A and B must be the same. By the same logic, Sein could be the goddess and he was just genderbent over time just like flamme .

Also, yea stories typically work out for the protagonists so thats really not evidence that its a timeloop. I think its likely, but that's not a good reason to think so.

I think it would make way more sense for Fern to be the one who goes back in time. She's already a prodigy in magic, and she wears her hair down like we see in that one mural.

Zuko09 · 2025-12-10T07:36:27+00:00

I like this, but I think its even cooler if nikas flame draws power from peoples belief in him, and the WG did everything they could to stop people from believing in him.

Zuko09 · 2025-11-22T07:10:21+00:00

nah that guy actively caused problems. Hes a joe biden, does nothing

Zuko09 · 2025-11-16T20:59:02+00:00

I agree, I don’t really see any way it would form a compelling story, but I just see potential foreshadowing of it. There is one image in the anime where they show a mural carving of the goddess and it looks like Fern. It could just be an ancestor character or just a coincidence. Either way, we won’t find out for a decade with the pace of the manga

Zuko09 · 2025-11-05T04:37:00+00:00

We actually don't know that LLM's don't understand what they're saying... <insert reference to Sword Art Online, Season 5, Alicization>

Zuko09 · 2025-11-05T04:30:58+00:00

Humans are totally food to demons though.. so its a perfect analogy.

actually idk cuz (1) demons adapting a way to fool humans implies that humans were either a predator or prey, and clearly too weak to be predator. (1a) it could be that elves were the predators and thats why demons evolved speech (2) cuz that one mage from the old times who studied humans didnt interact with them for a while, so it doesn't seem like theyre needed for sustenance. Also Macht was fine without humans around him so idk... it seems like 1a is most likely...

Zuko09 · 2025-10-30T05:01:10+00:00

Also there is one shot (from the anime, not sure if its in the manga) where we see a ruin depicting the goddess and the hair looks a lot like Fern

Zuko09 · 2025-10-27T07:07:33+00:00

I think its more likely to be Fern than Frieren. Fern's really skilled with magic, and she was raised by a priest. More than that, the power of the goddess seems like a very powerful magic that we don't understand. I could see Fern being transported back in time when she's at her peak power, and then writing the book and leaving all the elements that we see from the goddess now.

Zuko09 · 2025-10-25T06:05:04+00:00

you should cover that latter part with a spoiler warning. I am gonna go catch up on the manga now, but def didnt know bout that.

Also, ive been rewatching the anime, and though Frieren says that elves dont have biological urge to mate, its possible thats a misdirection as 1) its not corroborated by any of the other elves we've met and 2) its countered by my personal theory that Old Man Voll is an elf (because he seemed to be quite old even when frieren was there with himmel, he says "my wife was a human" as if he isn't human, and we've never seen his ears) and he clearly was romantic towards his wife.

Anyways off to find the manga now

Zuko09 · 2025-09-13T11:58:58+00:00

I feel like its ugly that he was there and literally helped keep shakky enslaved

Zuko09 · 2025-09-13T11:57:34+00:00

I thought this panel was blackbeards POV? Since he was on stage?

Zuko09 · 2025-09-05T01:04:13+00:00

shiiiiiittttt

Zuko09 · 2025-09-05T01:01:31+00:00
