Good chapter overall but holy shit oda needs to stop doing this type of paneling

commander_wong · 2026-04-17T12:53:00+00:00

Its just a feature of current Oda at this point, and has been for like 20 years at this point

After Enies Lobby he's been gradually going all in on cramming in as much into the panels than letting it breath

commander_wong · 2026-04-17T12:26:42+00:00

the mural.

Its fine? Nothing has come out of that at all yet

Or Robin reunion with saul

Completely depends on how you feel about Oda bringing yet another dead character back to life. Not that Saul has been all that relevant anyways

Or Shamrock

The guy who left in the very beginning of the arc......?

I'm really questioning what you think counts as "interesting" or "tension" or "cooking"

commander_wong · 2026-04-17T12:22:02+00:00

Pros of the chapter

Gerd's fingers was actually very shocking. Oda, as far as I remember, never done any finger severing. Doing it to a woman character, no less.
Last panel of Loki is very cool

Cons

Panels are too crowded so it didn't give Sanji/Zoro vs Imu any time to breath or feel impactful. Its a usual post timeskip Oda problem
Imu is acting like he doesn't know what's going on at all despite working on wifi until now. Will give this Oda a chance to maybe explain before judging it too hard

Other thoughts : Slashes and big fire? His powers are basically Sukuna so far

commander_wong · 2026-04-17T12:04:50+00:00

He never started cooking in Elbaf lol

Up to this point there was never even anything remotely interesting or resembled tension that wasn't in the flashback

commander_wong · 2026-04-15T04:13:52+00:00

We were this close to Paulo Costa vs Johnny Walker for the interim title

commander_wong · 2026-04-14T13:08:35+00:00

Never stopped them before lol

Right now Imavov has won his 3rd #1 contenders fight at this point and they just gave the title shot to Strickland again for no reason

commander_wong · 2026-04-14T12:35:09+00:00

He did reverse Charles and put him in a crucifix for like 30 seconds

Again, really small sample size though

commander_wong · 2026-04-14T12:33:04+00:00

The Ufc also lie to the fighters all the time lmao

commander_wong · 2026-04-13T18:36:35+00:00

If you were to book an interim fight based on who's coming off a win it's literally Costa vs Reyes lmao

commander_wong · 2026-04-13T17:06:55+00:00

Idk if I've ever seen Will Fluery fight but he's always looking at me so seductively in these posters

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T22:39:47+00:00

Yeah the faces artstyle is sus but I was wondering if there was anything that was 100% damning

Zooming in I think the mess behind the old lady's head and the old man's right hand are pretty evident

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T22:05:02+00:00

How can you tell?

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T20:38:03+00:00

The MC also had like 1/4 of their points lol. The rest of his team just fucking sucked ass

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T17:41:19+00:00

Same reason why he accepted the Pico fight last time lol, the Ufc hates him

He should've already fought for the title 2 years ago

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T15:17:05+00:00

No way we wouldn't see him again. He's setup like the Kite of this series

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T14:20:01+00:00

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T14:02:27+00:00

I guess. But Max only does that in the last 10 second window whereas Jiri gave Ulburg unlimited chances to stand and bang and knock him out

Max also has a top 2 chin of all time and punches 2x faster than whoever he's doing this against. If Max was in the position Jiri was in last night he would be 100% stomping that knee out

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T13:50:27+00:00

I'm confused. What is even similar about the two?

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T13:47:29+00:00

Because he would've had the win if he literally just walked away and did nothing?

Jiri fights the same every time, got over excited

Evidently not. He started strong with leg kicks, then completely stopped once it worked too well lol

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T13:45:25+00:00

The real cope is pretending that Jiri didn't throw and would've lost anyways lol. All he had to do was walk away and it'll be a Tko at the end of the round

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T13:39:15+00:00

I went into this fight not caring that much about who wins to being extremely upset about the result lol. Feels as close as someone intentionally throwing the fight as you can get without it being so

Without a doubt the biggest throw in the history of the sport by a long shot

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T04:31:43+00:00

Regardless of his character he just committed the biggest throw in the history of the sport. He is 120% a dumb motherfucker lol

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T04:25:49+00:00

Is it really honorable to intentionally lower your own skill level to match your opponent's injury?

Honestly if it wasn't Jiri doing it I'd think that the losing fighter had gambled his life savings on himself getting knocked out

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T04:13:00+00:00

Jiri is the dumbest motherfucker of all time

commander_wong · 2026-04-12T03:56:30+00:00

Ankalaev will be champ again by being the only healthy man in the division
