One Piece - I'm Gonna Be the Pirate King!

Blackbeard is either right before or right after Imu and I can't really see it going down any other way. There is simply too much build up for him as a villain.

My best guess would be that final war is happening. Blackbeard is playing it slick in the background and either gets in Luffy's way as he is about to face Imu (as Blackbeard was going to steal his power before Luffy shows up and they both run into each other right before the door) or he steals Luffy's victory and takes Imu's power becoming the de-facto final boss for a now thoroughly weakened Luffy (I think this is more likely).
Well, the way things have played out, Luffy is the chaotic good, and Blackbeard is the chaotic evil that moves to benefit from the messes Luffy makes. The other thing to take into consideration was that Whitebeard said Blackbeard isn’t the one Roger is waiting for. I expect there to be some payoff from that, but that’s a thing where that gets some thematic payoff from Luffy punching him out.

The live action was a mistake. Introduced a new group of people to op. And the strawhats aren't terrorist because they don't have a political agenda.
Well, the most I’ve heard about the Straw Hats and politics is that they’ve openly declared war on the World Government, with the WG being super authoritarian and practicing censorship along with how they enable the Celestial Dragons.

If there’s any real political slant in One Piece, the most I’ve seen is typical “government bad”. Along with those people who wave the Straw Hat flag with the Palestine flag, including Hasan Piker talking with a Houthi about One Piece. And Yamato. Just…Yamato.

All the more proof Netflix consoomers are retarded. They don't realize/do the research to know the casting choices are literally based off of what Oda said their nationalities would be irl, and they're literally painting all Russians as evil no exceptions.

In the world of One Piece, this moron would've legit treated Robin like a monster like everyone else did.

This is an issue alot of dystopian fiction has where despite the message, it doesn't deter the same people who are a fan of it acting the same way, for example being pro-censorship and surveilance despite being a fan of an anti-cesnorship and anti-surveilance novel. They literally are acting like World Government, Akainu and those that mistrusted Robin. It is also interesting that these same people talk about how you can't generalize all Jews etc. but then they do they same thing with russians.

From the Yamato and Okama sperging, I can tell that half of those complaining might be manga fans as well. This fanbase has members that deny reality.
 
So we can finally admit it was a fucking mistake now and you definitely do not want what you enjoy to have "mass appeal" to attract hordes of retards?
I've been saying that since day one.

Mass Appeal just means getting shit ruined by Cultural Locusts.

People have been shilling at me "how it's pretty good" and the nicest thing I can say about it after watching some clips is that it looks like it was made by a very dedicated group of cosplayers. I wouldn't mind it bringing new people to One Piece if it didn't mean it becomes catnip for the "current thing" locusts that ruin everything. I can only hope Oda gives 0 shits about the insane ramblings of western pigus.

I think it’s been established Oda doesn’t care about Western puritans. Honestly, I think a lot of mangaka are like that.

TBH, I think that’s probably the most a live action adaptation of an anime can really strive for. Not that that’s a bad thing, but grounding something as crazy as One Piece was always going to probably lose something .

The anime community has had those since day one. Fujoshi, weebs, fanfiction writers, stalkers, retards. Yeah we got more retards but we also got more moderate normies too. One Piece always had mass appeal because it appeal to (nearly) everyone, it just took a while to realise it due to 4kids.

Twitter fags were always retards that said dumb shit. Nothing new. Just laugh at them and move on.

People still are stuck on Robin 's "race change". Did we not mock them then? We did. What makes the retards we had before the Live Action better than the new ones. Also, any change Oda does is as a writer rather than as a push over. He evolves over time and as he got better at writing, he looks back and thinks to himself that he would do things differently now.

Mangaka like fans not activists.

The spirit, heart and energy remained in the show and that is what matters the most.

It's becoming normal for people to like an offensiveless blah product cause brainwashed from journalists telling them how there's racism and sexism living with them. But people defend it cause it's run by "one of them" in Matt Owens and want to feel like they're part of some Hollywood club. I've seen people say that Cosplay sanji is 1000% better than series sanji cause People react extremely to original character's perviness and want his watered down counterpart to be the peak of it. It's going to keep attracting this retardedness every second, that's why just push back against all of them.

Last time I checked those groups were seen as subhuman scum in the niponsphere, not as the "diverse global market" that Netflix is obsessed with courting.

I've had enough hobbies I enjoyed get turned to shit by fairweather activists coming in to shit the place yo know they are leagues worse.

If Oda suddenly feels compelled to embrace current year and turn Yamato into a zippertits will you also call it an "evolution"?

I'm pretty sure he is immune to this shit thanks to his Japanese heritage and how long he's been doing this, but I've seen other creatives bend over and open their anus to current year to be weary of this shit.

As a fan of Sanji that audibly cringed during the Fishman Island blood transfusion, I love the ero cook that is completely useless vs a woman and I wouldn't have it any other way. Just finished rereadimg Whole Cake Island again and still love Zeff and him.

Only the netflix supporters are paid attention to.

D&fuckingd is see the most extreme left revisionism of a hobby, and I haven't even played a physical game.

Pretty sure oda doesn't know what to say to all the insane gender shit.

I've watched heaven's lost property and trinity seven and that trait never bothers me so much. I was only annoyed by the predictability of sanji there. Pervy attitudes only make me cringe if he's like the sadsack from kanokon. It's another predictable joke with him vs a woman cause shockingly..........he loses.

What I mean is that we always had weirdos in the fanbase. It sucks but we did. One Piece is great, it attracts both the normal fans, the analytical ones and the marker sniffers.

Me too, but it is the nature of the beast. The people we do not like will also like what we like. We can either check their behavior or just sit whining about it. And by check, I mean call out.

By evolution, I mean improve on writing techniques. Foreshadowing, callbacks, narrative etc. One has to improve over time.
 
A Government Threatening One Piece with stupid bullshit is setting up Oda for the most savage comeback.

He literally just sends an intern with a giant version of this spread

Funny thing is, this could easily be the way the final war kicks off, but with Luffy with some new power that makes it sound like Joy Boy is talking directly to Imu (maybe with the voice fuckery Imu has in the anime, but sounding differently), regardless of where Luffy actually is.

He..doesn't need to declare war on Imu and the WG cause he already did.
