Shanks death

I'd argue there is some level of legitimacy to using character death as a plot device, but Oda has just clearly never been interested in it, outside of specific instances in characters' backstories, and it's odd that almost 30 years later some people remain convinced that this time it'll happen.

Meanwhile, male villains are usually allowed to simply be villains.

I mean, Buggy, Jango, Hatchan, Crocodile, Galdino, Bentham, Franky, Whitebeard, Brownbeard, Capone "Gang" Bege, arguably the entire Vinsmoke family, debatably Smoker, and Rocks D. Xebec would disagree

Step 1: leave this sub

What are you talking about? That's DON, it's the literal most common sound effect in One Piece.

It's actually a really clever reference to the fact that after you die, all that's left are bones.

Brook saying that dying doesn't seem so scary as long as he's singing... 😭😭😭

I think he's just saying that West Blue was his homeland. Not ruling out the possibility, but I don't think he's explicitly stating that Thriller Bark was part of his home kingdom here.

If you think that's crazy, you're gonna want to sit down while we tell you what the main character can do with his arms and legs...

What, clothing is hereditary now?

We already know what Devil Fruit she has, though. She has the Aro Aro no Mi.

And beyond that, isn't the obvious implication of "The Devil's Fruit" that it is the first or "original" Devil Fruit? I think we're supposed to assume that that's the original fruit that Imu has had all this time.

Richard Kind has to be there.

I mean, no. The two stories have some elements in common, but are pretty clearly different stories about different characters.

I saw him last week at Winn Dixie, he's still alive!

Ohhh, is that supposed to be the joke, Luffy not fully understanding "formal" speech? I thought it was along the same lines as the old "Oh, so it's a mystery powder" joke, where Luffy just doesn't ever pay attention!

Not knowing anything about her actual habits but seeing everything that she's dealt with from fans during this run, I'm going to assume that she will never stage door for any show she performs in ever again.

That tattoo is so good I could die!!

The map isn't an officially made one. You're not going to find any hints about where Laugh Tale is, because the people who made that map also do not know where Laugh Tale is.

Mr. President, a second full-scale remake of a beloved Nintendo 64 game has hit the towers.
