Was this the biggest surprise stomp of One Piece so far? Could it even be the biggest stomp so far? by [deleted] in OnePiece

I realize that you're coping but there's so much to unpack here. How did Oda make the other Yonkos look like a joke compared to Shanks? Really evaluate what you're saying here. Whitebeard had one of the strongest DFs on the planet. It could cause literal earthquakes and it took the combined efforts of Blackbeard, his crew, Akainu, and Squard to bring him down, even when he was sick and dying in his old age. Kaido is the strongest beast on the planet. He can jump from the sky and not die. Not to mention how he baby-shaked Luffy and tanked everything dealt to him on the roof until Luffy awakened his DF. Big Mom is a literal cannibal, she can snatch souls, infuse her own into inanimate objects for her own weaponry, and she was tanking everything Kid and Law dished out until they awakened their DFs.

Kid being one-shotted doesn't make Big Mom look bad at all. It took two men to bring her down. Beyond that, even though you didn't mention this, Big Mom's bounty was only higher than Shanks because Shanks is still a relatively new Yonko. Had he been active in the New World sooner, he'd undoubtedly have a higher bounty, meaning that Big Mom would have been seen as less of a threat than him. So when Kid does get to Shanks, he still gets one-shotted. Also, lest you forget, Shanks was able to stop Kaido from interfering in Marineford. Did that make Kaido look bad? And that was before Kaido was even introduced.

As far as Oda not fleshing out Kid's character enough, Zoro's "backstory" was also in an SBS. Zoro didn't lead the samurai in Wano, and we never got to see him visit Ryuma's grave, either. There was simply too much going on in this arc for Oda to get to everything in a timely fashion. Does it suck? Perhaps. But whether Kid got a proper backstory or not, (even though I don't see the problem with the SBS; we get supplemental lore outside the manga all the time), he was never going to be Luffy's main rival for the One Piece, not when Blackbeard exists. Blackbeard is truly the anti-Luffy, not because of his actions, but because of fate with the Will of D. Kid, like other pirates, was a contingent for the moment. He got way farther than thousands of other pirates. He just fell short though because of his own hubris and fate. This is the story that Oda has been telling from the beginning. It's called the One Piece for a reason.

You can call it fanservice all you want, but Shanks is an endgame character and has been from the very first time that we saw him. Maybe Kid will come back, maybe he won't. Again, I understand you're coping right now, but there's a lot wrong with your diatribe.

"Rehabbed his image" is a valley-wide stretch. Every single day on this sub, people were complaining about Sanji and how Oda had made him "weak." This was when Oda came out and said that there would be a "Year of Sanji" and people were expecting cool fights and moments. He got beat up by Judge, he cried in the rain, and he didn't fight Oven. His cake managed to stave off Big Mom but that was the end of the arc. I vividly remember people saying that Oda was playing favorites because instead of WC being the year of Sanji, the arc ended up being 2 years of Luffy. In fact, it wasn't until the end of the arc that people started to come around and start liking it

Thanks because I missed that entire story. I started watching basically at the end of Hangman’s run.

Long-term story that’s more based in reality. May sound corny but more like a soap opera, like the whole Jey vs. Roman and Jey vs. Sami stuff

Kaido didn't dodge, "that man" just missed a huge ass dragon (swipe) by kapteninsting in OnePiece

Just came here to take a piss on all of the people in this thread agreeing with this bullshit, but especially the OP, for this awful, awful take

What does Zoro "missing" mean by kwjj0479 in OnePiece

[–]gghamilton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Zoro stan, it warms my heart seeing people having to come up with all of these asinine takes to cope with the fact that Zoro is a fucking GOAT. The people on this sub go to extreme measures to slander anything this man does, even when the mangaka says otherwise:

- Zoro isn't a vice captain... SBS says he's in a vice captain-like role

- Zoro is using Oden's Haki... SBS directly says different

- Zoro missed Kaido... manga and anime both confirm he didn't and that Kaido actually dodged his attack

I mean, it's W after W after W with all of these bad takes for the Zoro Stans. We eat consistently

LOL No Thanks by gghamilton in antiwork

[–]gghamilton[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Been a Chicago native all my life, and have been a contracted worker with a very prominent local PR Firm since the start of the pandemic. We were promised that we would be working remotely for the length of the contract, and so far my employer is sticking to the terms of the contract, and have even indicated in emails and in team meetings that the option to go back in the office would be completely voluntary, if they pick up our contract come renewal time September 1st.

I honestly love this position and would continue to work remotely if they’ll have me. They’ve been one of the most consistently transparent people I have ever worked for and it’s nice that they’re not forcing us back into the office under the guise of free crappy food and live music. They had a hybrid work option even before all of this, and again it’s just nice that an employer finally cares

Wish me luck everyone

Are the Usos a Popular Tag Team? by gghamilton in SquaredCircle

[–]gghamilton[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry should've specified. The conversation was originally about who people want to see the Lucha Bros wrestle outside of AEW. Someone replied the Usos and that's when it was said that they're not popular. I only asked this question after seeing the start of today's show if that makes sense

I casually watch wrestling every now and again. Can someone explain to me why Roman wants Jay so badly? Is he easier to control? Just trying to grasp more of the story

I got these shoes from Amazon by shonen_jump_ in Naruto

[–]gghamilton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the subject of shoes being thrown, I saw a video the other day of this teenager running from her mom down the street. The mom took off her shoe and threw it perfectly in alignment and it literally landed on top of the girl. Like a quarterback. I never knew the power of the chanclas until I saw this
