started One Piece in October. finally near this arc. On episode 962

An incredible story awaits you

You're putting in work though, if you got to Usopp joining the crew in one day that means you watched at least 17 episodes SHEESH

You gonna be caught up in no time

Nothing like the week a new chapter drops (esp rn ) and trying to make sense of it and what it might mean for what's coming next in the story and talking to people about it

Glad you stuck with it this long and hope you're enjoying it

You gonna pick up the manga when you're caught up?

tbh I Lowkey might. Right now im just reading Berserk and Sakamoto Days

You gotta honestly, the arc following Wano is one of the best and the anime is just getting to it

Reading weekly rn is amazing, so many insane chapters and moments that get you wanting to talk to whoever you can about what you just read and leave you hungry for the next one

lol hate that I follow anime twitter cause it's constant bickering over Sanji vs. Zoro and whose better.

Glad I don't keep up with anything that would show me much of that because I know it exists and even just knowing of it 🤮

There are so many other things that OP offers that are actually worth discussing

vol 108 cover

Kizaru put that s*** on

One really understated ability at BB’s disposal is Avallo’s df ability. Whenever BB knows of the location for the ancient weapon Avallo can fuse with the island and instantly feel where it is.

The perfect scenario for BB for the last poneglyph is knowing where it is, teleport to the island, use Avallo, then decipher the contents through Pudding’s 3rd eye.

BB pirates are f***ing stacked

The more they get the more Oda has to write himself out of that hole. Lmao its like kaido all over again

Nah they're extremely strong but it's way different for various reasons:

Crew vs one singular force (I know Beast Pirates and all but everything started and ended with Kaido)

As strong as the BB pirates are they've already been shown to have multiple failings including cowardice while Kaido's strength was basically incomprehensible

Kaido was always ready for all comers because...yeah, BB pirates have gotten where they are through meticulous planning and luck (think about how often they speak of fate, how many lucky breaks they've needed etc)

We just saw old man Garp (not to downplay him, dude is still a monster but yeah) smash up half the crew before Kuzan stepped in

Speaking of Kuzan...we don't even know what he's planning

I'm sure Oda had Kaido in mind for a long time but he's been writing BB and co for 20 years and their writing is FOUNDATIONAL to the story (foil for Luffy and the SHs, dreams have no end etc) so he's had plenty of time to figure how this is gonna go even as the story expands and changes

Yeah, I'd also add we've seen that BB/Crew ultimately are chief opportunists and will back down if things are not in their favor e.g. when Rayleigh pulled up on BB.

Yeah I was trying to get at that with the meticulous planning part but 100 percent

Last chapter was too good for me to go back to reading spoilers

Just gotta wait one more day 😤😤

Damn g. You been averaging 200 episodes per month or what lol

all I want is sanji vs kizaru

There was someone in here over a year ago that allegedly caught up from episode 1 in like 2 months or something

we made it

need the chapter

One Piece is really blowing up these last few months, the synergy between the pandemic giving a lot of free time for People to catch up, plus one piece live action, plus gear 5, plus how hype egghead is made One piece really start to enter mainstream awareness.

When The One Piece remake drops on Netflix i really believe One Piece has a shot of becoming the first really mainstream animation series by 2030, im talking game of thrones/ breaking bad levels

Wit Studio enies lobby, Sabaody, plus marineford is going to be crazy
