      Oda has played with this idea before - we thought Arlong was pure evil and then we saw his point of view.

    - Robin loses it and goes demon mode, wrecking the ship.

    I actually kind of love the Mihawk dying by falling down the stairs take. It makes Zoro realise that his pursuit of strength is ultimately meaningless because we all must face up against our own mortality in the end. And this is what steers him towards what was always the most important thing; human connection. It was his connection to Kuini that kept his passion burning, and now it is his dedication to his crew.

    • @7thlittleleopard7
      @7thlittleleopard7 Рік тому +16

      And then he goes and starts a ramp company and replaces all stairs he comes across with ramps, because that's the only way he can defeat stairs.
      In a more serious tone, what if Mihawk DOES die before Zoro can beat him? It doesn't have to be from falling down the stairs - maybe someone gets in a lucky shot or he drowns or something? Hell, what if he doesn't even die but gets crippled in some way so he can no longer be the best? It'd be an interesting thing for Zoro to have to deal with.

    Spandam is pretty good character. He together with Lucci is a contrast to Luffy on the topic of leadership, because the entire Water 7 - Enies Lobby story arc for Luffy was about leadership and what it means to be a captain. Luffy finds his answer in strength, just like he said in the Arlong park, he can't do million things in which he relies on his crew, but one thing he can do is to beat the big evil guy when they cannot. In Enies Lobby Luffy decides that for him to be a captain it means to be the shield for his crew, to protect them from all the guys they can not beat, and that's why he develops gear 2.
    Spandam, on the other hand, is the opposite. He is weak, has 0 respect from his subordinates, and EL is the first major arc where Luffy has to fight a subordinate of the villain (Lucci) instead of the actual villain (Spandam). By the end of their fight even Lucci acknowledges Luffy as a worthy leader and compares him to Spandam, taking it full circle.

As for that last take about Blackbeard winning, I'm of the mind that the Yonko will both make it to Laugh Tale and will acheive at least one of their goals or dreams. So even with Luffy becoming PK, Buggy, Shanks and Blackbeard will get something out of it for themselves.

    The only one I want to join before it’s all said and done is Vivi. I believe that’s what they’re going for too. With Cobras death and Vivi on the run it really is the perfect time. It’s not like she isn’t a straw hat already. Remember it’s, “I have to stay here but if we ever meet again will you still call me your ‘nakama?’” Not “Sorry guys bye. See you never.” A reunion was always in the works the only question was how long it would take.

    Also, regarding scabbards.
    I agree that Denjiro's arc was pretty bad at the end. But you could say something similar about all of the scabbards. You could easily combine them all into three or four strong characters, but we needed them to be nine, apparently.
    Ashura had his few strong emotional moments, then just disappeared from the story, only appearing as collective being that was "nine red scabbards"

      I like denshiro thou and he adds a lot by
      His dynamic and friendship with the scrabbard that got most time to grow with.
      He got to be relevant in saving odens daughter and raise her as spy.
      He got to have a great cunning moment.
      He with the minks chefs and a character we folloe a lot over arcs, gets probably the best showcase as characters.

    • @nihili4196
      @nihili4196 Рік тому

      I like Denjiro too, but he could easily be combined with Kawamatsu or even Kikunojo, and not much of value would be lost really.
      Denjiro, Kinemon, Ashura and Kanjuro are one of the strongest scabbards personality and story relevance wise, and I'm putting Kanjuro there only because he ended up being the traitor.
      Mink rulers could easily be combined into one character, they rarely exist as truly separate entities from each other that do something other one would never do, thus making them interchangeable.
      I love most scabbards...
      But we don't have enough time to invest in making all of them feel relevant, important and memorable for everyone.

      And I love it that way. Power levels are always weird in shonen and some storys get ruined over hard numbers on power scaling. Also with how diverse power sets are in One Piece there will always be situations where a Kizaru is better than a Kaido and vice versa. Power scaling them rarely makes sense.

    I never really thought about it before, but Zoro and Nami do have a dynamic that is pretty fun to watch in a romance anime. Bumbling idiot and too serious. They’re also both heavy drinkers, which is fun.
    Wierd take, but I always shipped Robin with Luffy in my head; I think some would ship her with Franky. I just think back on all the times Luffy would make a wild choice and the crew would be shouting “Why?!” And Robin would just laugh and smile and just accept Luffy’s decision wholeheartedly. Also the scene in Sabaody where Kuma is attacking the crew and Robin is the last one, and Luffy and Robin scream eachother’s names.
    I think if it comes down to it, Sanji will actually end up with Pudding.

    Power Scaling being "vibes"?
    Definitely agree more than not.
    Oda is writing a fun pirate comic, not a D&D campaign.
    It has to fit into the realm of plausibility (like Zoro could not have beaten Mihawk at Baratie at that point in his journey, no matter what).
    Haki is only strong because it's tied to willpower, which basically means "I want it more, and I'm more determined"
    Back to Zoro, he needed that loss to build his determination upon, and physical strength comes after determination.

    My late bad take is that fake out deaths do a lot for the story. The better the fake out death, the more joy you feel when a character turns out to have survived. They make me so sad each time they happen and then so overjoyed when a character comes back to life. Like Pound. I'm so glad that he survived, despite his fake out death being so well done.

Zoro will then come face to face with Dawn D. Stares after his fight with Mihawk.

      After i gonna protect wano moment by yamato, every wanna join strawhats, is ruining that. Why would yamata keep it up after stating that. Yamato isnt the type to not keep up with a resolve.

    Kaido is going to come back as a Joy Boy fan boy that rivals Bartolomeo and join Luffy’s crew. Kaido will want to get Big Mom to join too but it will take her being bribed with Sanji’s red bean soup and wedding cake to fully get on board with it. Soon after Big Mom joins, the weaker members will remember that her sweet commander killed Pedro but they are too terrified to bring it up. Then the Straw Hats go to Elbaf. Big Mom and the giants will realize their beef stemmed from one big misunderstanding and they will make peace with each other.
    The crew dynamic will be that Big Mom is the Sanji Tsundere that is constantly getting into food eating contests with Luffy. Kaido will constantly be praising Luffy and asking Sanji, Zoro, Jinbe or Luffy to fight. He will always ask Luffy nicely because he respects him but will be a bit more forceful and angry with the others until the crews antics can mellow him out a bit. When Kaido isn’t asking his fellow crew members to fight he is Zoro’s drinking buddy and weight spotter. Big Mom will fit in immediately with Luffy, Usopp and Choppers antics but it will be nothing Nami can’t handle with her fist of love.
