Media One Piece (spoilers!)

[Chou Toshio]

Yet this mangas fanbase (at least western, same as with Naruto and some other Shonen) is still full of right wing/extreme right bigots (be it Anti-LGBTIQ+ or Racism) who are too fucking oblivious to see that they're essentially called out as the inhuman opressors the whole damn 1085 chapters. But media literacy just like post Shiganshina Eren fans isn't their strong forte.

Srsly

One Piece Good Guys:
Revolutionaries
LGBTIQ+ Candy Island
Legendary Robot Furry
Fish Martin Luther King Jr and Fish Malcolm X
Slave Liberators
Academics/Historians
Democratic-leaning pirate crews (comrade/“family” run)
Kings of oppressed of minorities
Kings that turn out to actually be proletarian revolutionaries
Government officials that favor justice for the people/Justice of Mercy

One Piece Bad Guys:
Supreme Ruler of the World
Master Race
Fish Supremacists
(Ie. Fascists of all kinds)
Kings/Nobility (general)
Slave Owners
Secret Police
Academia suppressionists
Strong Man/authoritarian Pirate Crews (run based on fear)
Government Officials that favor absolute justice

take the hint peeps
Do flamingo was like alt right incarnate

yeah im in dressrosa right now but i can tell doflamingo is very nazi aligned, and so is aramaki; neither are meant to be idolized

i'm surprised people don't understand this, but is kuma the legendary robot furry?

That’s who I was referring to yet. Now that we are talking about it, it’s kind of incredible that our intro to those characters had them largely moving together and working together.

It kind of speaks to Kuma’s insane self-control moving alongside Doffy when Doffy and him are essentially least alike in the Shichibukai and should have most enmity based on virtues and world view

What I love about OP is that it doesn't dwell much on people's identities. Sure, sometimes there are questions, but they get a quick and easy response.

See here:

are you a man?
no, i'm a woman
scary mask!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile, bigoted clows will write entire thesis on why Yamato and Kiku are a woman and a man respectively. I swear I can't comprehend how you read 1000+ chapters of this story and remain a piece of shit.

 

[Mova]

speaking of identity, gender or not, is zoro implied to be secretly racist or is that just a right-wing cope meme? i swear to enel i hope it's just the latter

It's more a meme from Zoro haters/Sanji bros than right-wingers tbh.

 

[Mova]

i was hoping it wasn't actually in the show, but that's honestly better than it being a cope, as someone who tends to prefer franky and jinbe

The best gauge in One Piece is how people treat Fish men and other races/gendered characters. If anything you could say Sanji is the most reactionary for fetishizing mermaids, hyper chivalry to “ladies” vs way he treat’s unattractive/old women, and how he reacts to okamas.

Zoro is crazy identity blind, basically being almost incapable of registering differences in people besides sword skill/battle skill/moral character.

that i understand, i figured sanji was the closest to reactionary of the crew

speaking of fish-men, do people have the same issue with minks?

 

[Medeia]

Chapter 1086 was great yet again. Now we know the weapon Imu used was built/reinvented by Vegapunk, the Gorosei are literally war gods and they way how them & Imu decided to use Lulusia as test object was just so cold. Imu was from the house Nerona and one of the 20 founders of the Government, while the supreme commander of the Holy Knights is a Figarland who was the former King of God Valley & executed Saint Mjosgard for protecting Shirahoshi.

Oda really deserves his 4 weeks break and i hope the Operation goes/went well.

 

[Tesla Machine]

Sorry haven't been keep count does his break end this or next week?

 

[Mova]

next week, the 18th

Stolen from OP reddit.

Looks pretty accurate to me, maybe Nami could also get flying for her cyclone or water for rain? Dunno. Perhaps Luffy have Fire as secondary because of his Ace attacks?.


Also who else is excited “Void Month” as its been nicknamed, ends this week?!

 

[Mova]

luffy is fighting/??? thanks to having meme magic change my mind

 

[Two of Roses]

Think Robin would be better suited as Fairy/Dark... fits better

 

[Mova]

or if we had to use general elements seen in many rpg's, and only one per character, any of their other attacks are alternate options

luffy - neutral
zoro - wind
nami - thunder
usopp - plant
sanji - fire
chopper - light
robin - earth
franky - metal
brook - dark
jinbe - water
final crewmate - ice?

notice how the crew accomplishes these capabilities without logia users among their ranks, just bizarre weapons, paramecias, and zoans

 

[Chou Toshio]

Okay guys so do you think Borsaleno is going to barely lose to the Yonko, or totally GET WRECKED?

Very good question

I think total wreckage would be a parallel to Saobaody, but it would be underwhelming if an admiral went down easy

Maybe we'll be blueballed. The BB pirates are on their way, I believe it may be possible for Luffy to be in a winning position, but that the BBs interfere as Raleigh did, giving the strawhats an opportunity to escape. Kuma's also coming, maybe he will teleport Borsalino and the BBs somewhere, ending their fight?

 

[SparksBlade]

Kizaru's main mission is securing York and stuff on the island. Luffy's main mission is escaping the island with Vegapunk. I think it'll be a short stalemate followed by both just realising that fighting is not in their best interest anymore.

Laffitte is also some infiltration specialist so he might get on the island past the siege and cause some trouble along with Devon. I think many people's favorite theory is Devon copying Saturn or straight up attacking/kidnapping him. I wonder what their main goal for the place is though.

Kuma's also coming

Kuma crashed on the Red Line

 

[Mova]

I'm thinking the fight is a bluff and they won't actually fight, as the Marines aren't really the big bad group. It's either Imu and/or BB, probably not Sakazuki at this point. But if that's the case, wouldn't BB and the Government have two major arcs where each one is the main opponent group?

 

[Ununhexium]

Yeah I think that the fight is gonna get interfered with or Kizaru’s priorities will shift before they can really get into it. This seems like a setup arc like Zou or Jaya etc than a huge arc

Borsalino also has a mission to kill vegapunk…

this is my basis for their priorities. securing all that is more important than killing vegapunk, and kizaru will be shorthanded if he tries to do it all with just lucci. the marines might be storming the island now as the pacifistas are not attacking, but they still can't get to at least two of the three things so they can only advance their seige from island level to outside of the dome. this means it's up to kizaru and lucci to accomplish the goals, and killing vegapunk will have to deprioritized for that even though lucci already tried which might've been his best opportunity

Could be, and could also end up illustrating a difference in priorities between Kizaru and Lucci (like for Lucci killing Vegapunk could be a higher priority, for Kizaru preserving the critical infrastructure pieces) which would be an interesting dynamic to show further complexity/factionalization where as right now between CP and the Marine it's all kind of an amorphous/non-distinguished bad blob when it comes to organizations/individuals loyal to government hierarchy>personal values.
(I am lumping in Kizaru with the hierarchy loyalists for now despite his interesting comment last chapter about caring about his values regarding Sentomaru/Vegapunk)

Either way, we are definitely in for some fireworks that leave Kizaru with a very, very, VERY different impression of Luffy's power.
