I agree but only half. If you're implying that people are being lazy with their powers then I disagree. If you're saying that everyone needs to be something more in general and just go more all out, then I agree.Quote:

I hope Blackbeard doesn't show up. That's just unnecessary.
How do you figure sports fan? I mean I agree he made his peace with ID and left so he shouldn't be showing up anytime again for a while. But I'm curious as to why you think that.Quote:

You know, i wouldn't be that surprised if this whole war was what Blackbeard had in mind all along when he captured AceQuote:

I don't see how. Luffy was his original target. On the other hand, circumstances change. And good strategists change their plans to fit the circumstance.
Blackbeard might not even want to show his face. Whitebeard will go out of his way to kill Blackbeard.
Like someone on the last page said, I would enjoy if BB just used this as his chance to run off to the New World. WB is fighting at Marineford, Kaidou and Shanks are fighting one another... maybe he'll just go kill the other one and take their spot as Yonkou, or just use this opportunity to take some territory for himself.Quote:

That fight/match is something that intrigues me very much. Magellan floored Blackbeard and his crew, yet Ace lost to BB. Is it the difference in fighting experience or what? Is Magellans fruit just better suited to fight BB, because he absorbs everything, including the poison?
Magellan was in a big hurry to capture the escapees. He basically told Blackbeard, "I don't have time to deal with this now" and immediately splattered him with goop. It was "almost" a surprise attack. You could almost see the look of "!" and "?" on Blackbeard's face.Quote:

Maybe Blackbeard "really" is stronger than Magellan, and maybe Ace is too. But the situations are too different to compare directly, I think.
For contrast, I don't think Magellan would necessarily be an effective force on the current battlefield.
...only to get saved by Shiryuu laterQuote:

He possesses the will of D after allQuote:

No the final boss will be the mountain bandit from chapter 1. Feel it in your bones, you know it to be true.Quote:

@Arch: You mentioned you think Sanji is going to learn Okama Kempo on Kamakura Island in the Ep 419 thread. But, why? He fought with Mr 2 and they were pretty evenly matched. On the other hand, I saw some of the okama in the anime using something very similar to "death wink". That could be a seriously powerful tool for Sanji, especially since he has that distinctive curly eyebrow.
Also, what's your theory about Chopper's powerup?
I said combine, as in getting the best out of both styles. And i wouldn't consider Death Wink to be a okama technique, more like something he came up with himself as a derivative of the hormone fruitQuote:
