    The big question of One Piece after Marineford.
    Does Akainu or Blackbeard die first?

    My call
    Blackbeard 100% dies first. Blackbeard's a foil.

    Akainu is either the final boss, or Luffy doesn't even get the chance to kill him.

    In fact, actually I would almost put money on Blackbeard killing Akainu.

    One Piece speculation
    Luffy plus all his allies from the whole story will sail in an armada to Marineford to rescue Sabo, in a mirror of the end of Part 1.

    Blackbeard could show up again, or get dealt with before.

    Akainu isn't the final boss.

    Just finished Belle (english dub).

    What an absolutely FANTASTIC movie with a truly stellar dub. My only complaints are that I wish there was another pop song like in the beginning (well at least as far as the english songs go), and that the passage of time in the beginning is very weirdly handled.

    I enjoyed Belle, but I'm not really sure what I think of the ending. It felt very "...wait, you're just going to leave them there? And not address what happened after, or even mention them at all after? Really? Well, okay".

    wrt One Piece, I got stuck on Dressrosa about eight years ago and I've never quite been able to get through it for some reason. I did try last year and I am now just before the final fight sequence tho

    Huh.

    The new chapter of OPM was apparently redrawn at the last minute. So now there's two versions out there, an Viz (last time I checked) had the first one.

    Murata constantly goes back and redraws chapters all the fucking time, and Shonen Jump's app never fucking updates them. It's really annoying.

    Yeah, it's one of those dear jump you're literally driving piracy with this. Literally! And it's not just this chapter that differs. There's entire subplots that have been added, tweaked, whatever by his redraws.

    It's also why the manga is so slow to come out, because a lot of time is going to going back and doing redraws.

    Oh the redraw also took out what the initial version showed about
    Blast and his 'comrades'
    , I'm still wondering how much of that is invented by Murata versus stuff ONE already had planned but just hasn't gotten do.

    He also tends to do that. See the fight between the kid genius and Phoenixman for a good example of just how many variations he put out on it. Actually got kind of annoying for a while!

    ONE's still storyboarding the remake, from what I understand, Murata's just doing the art.

    Oh shit, I have a month (several, even!) blocked off for psychological... what's it called when you're re-learning how to use a limb after an accident? That.

    Is it a good idea for me to start reading One Piece?

    YGO:TAS is not TFS, thankfully enough. Although even TFS humour is sketchy for me at times.

    It's still hilarious to me that Disney+ monopolized this series.
    Split personality monster hunter lady housing the ghost of her murdered brother kills monsters impersonating entire family by smashing their heads in with a sledge hammer like a fucking Gallagher routine.

    Also a good example of the way they're rightfully toning down dumb shit in the manga, cause wife-shadow upon being damaged the first time had her clothes explode and then turned into a boob chimera.

    Up to the mid 30s on Legend of Galactic Heroes. Really liking it. Crazy that I'm only a little over a quarter of the way through.
    Alliance politics continue to be a little too real.
    Activists try to get the media to cover the low rate at which influential people face the draft. Media refuses so the activists hold a protest. Police shut down the protest despite it being done legally. Police corral them into some alleys where they're beaten by nationalists. Men woman and children beaten while police watch. Once it's over the police arrest the activists for rioting. Media reports on the violent riots started by activists.

    I just read through Dragonball and Dragonball Z (which, despite being a lot of pages, was a pretty quick read), and it's interesting comparing how fights work there to how fights work in One-Punch Man -- while Dragonball continually increases the power of the people fighting, the actual mechanics of the fights are always basically the same. There's a series of panels of close-up punches/kicks/etc, then someone jumps really high, we pan out to see them launching a giant energy ball of some sort, energy ball hits, then the characters close in again for more punches/kicks.

    From time to time someone gets knocked into something hard enough to leave a big crater but that's about it. I'm simplifying, of course, but I was fairly surprised at how repetitive the fight scenes felt; we get told that X is now even more powerful than they were before, or new-character-Y is super tough, but there's not a lot of evidence of that in the actual combat other than that when new-character-Y hits X, X gets knocked backwards, which I guess implies that Y is tough because we know that X is tough so Y must be tougher? But that's exactly the same way that we were shown how tough people are back in the first chapters, there only scaling up is relative to other people but everyone's scaling up, so the only real change to what _happens_ is the size of the kamehameha's.

    And, sure, there is the occasional very very large amount of collateral damage but it never really feels like anything particularly dramatic happened, we just get told about it and it's mainly offscreen / "here is a lot of destruction" after the fact.


    On the other hand, looking at the latest chapters of OPM (the one on the viz site, at least), there's a much greater sense of "whoa, that is a big fight" -- the more detailed art doesn't hurt, but there's been more variety in what's going on during the recent fight scenes, the effects on the world outside are more varied and impressive, it just has more 'oomph'.

    It has been going for literal years and also depending on how you count it, it's well over half the murata manga currently.

    now, to be fair, the webcomic version was also half the comic at the time

    It's just that Murata also expanded everything else, so it seems even more dragged out

    New watamote chapter was pretty funny, and kinda feels like it might(?) be finally developing the lowkey rivalry between Asuka and Ucchi into something a bit more out in the open.

    But also there's a fan artist on pixiv who keeps drawing Watamote in Naoki Urasawa style and it's kinda amazing
