Just another mystery we can ponder on the way to the retirement home.
    Afaik, the renaming was part of the WG's attempt at downplaying the fruit, since if they can't have it, at least they can make it seem like a pointless power to seek.

    Both Katakuri and Doflamingo awakened paramecia-type devil fruits. The main commonality is the ability to manipulate the surrounding environment into a material resembling their powers. Kinda like how Luffy can turn the rocky terrain into rubber, they were turning theirs into mochi and string. The plot twist of Luffy's fruit being a human-human ancient deity type fruit, however, makes his more comparable to Sengoku's Buddha fruit.

    An actually well-edited fix of the episode.

    Nami saying the next person to show from on top of the roof would be Luffy, followed by Luffy's big dumb face is comedy gold.

    I expected more from Kaido's backstory. I wanted more Rocks Pirates.


    No cool name for the final attack...

    Agreed. Flashbacks are the blurry crack through which I can take in the delicious world building of One Piece. No gambits or clever tactics; just big fist beats big dragon... Oh well, at least the battles are over and we can move onto clean up.

    And it's done.

    Are Kaido and Big Mom dead? Seems like they should be super dead. But also seems like they're just chillin' under the lava.

    That glimpse of their not dissolved bodies got my hopes up, but it seems like they're dead.

    Interesting that Momo is directly contradicting Oden's desire to 'open up' Wano. I get why, to focus on restoration efforts and maybe do it later, but to voice it specifically makes it a 'thing' we have to pay attention to.

    Yeah, what a dick.

    Thanks for everything helping me realize my father's dream! Which I'm now not going to do.

    Bleh, Yamato all but confirmed. That means no Carrot unless we're getting 2 at once.

    It's cute Kiku uses the women's bath and Yamato uses the men's bath.

    Yamato almost killed poor Sanji.

    Ending on the new admiral? Devious.

    I'm calling that the new emperors are Luffy and Blackbeard... whatever he's been up to.

    Blackbeard has been an Emperor since the timeskip. He took Whitebeard's spot.

    I think it's going to be Law and Kid. I think Luffy is going to take Shank's spot, eventually.


    More people died in this than I thought. 2 of the Akazaya. And then Hawkins.

    Was he? Okay, then I'm guessing Luffy and... not Kidd or Law, so we get a curve ball. Maybe Weevil?

    Buggy? That's better than I ever could have hoped! He's like King from OPM; his reputation precedes him since the Impel down escape was pinned on him. Love it.

    Surprised we get an admiral fight so soon.

    I know Admirals are super badasses, but I can't imagine one all on it's own is a real threat to the entire Alliance at this point. A group that took out Kaido, Big Mom and all their minions at once should be able to handle one Admiral.


    I just realized Smoothie got shortchanged. She's the only one of the 3 Sweet Generals that didn't get to have a big showdown with anyone. Even though she was in this battle.

    At this point though, it's making me question Morgans reporting skills.

    Lore dump! I like how all on Wano is built on top of Mt. Fuji.

    3rd Red Ponyglyph and the 2nd Ancient Weapon located. That's some story progress.

    Leave it to Shanks to just decide to 'go and get' the One Piece like it's milk from the corner store.

    Still hoping Shanks has the last Red Ponyglyph.

    Daveyback Fight between the Straw Hats and the Red Hairs for possession of all 4!
