Will Kindness Defeat Crazy? [My Hero Academia 412]

What’s the point to all of this Deku?

Even if you “save” Shigaraki, it won’t undo all the crimes he committed. Trespassing. Disorderly Conduct. Oh! And, lest not forget Mass Destruction, Terrorism, and Murder. A LOT of murders. Whether or not he repents means nothing to the multitude of citizens/victims who want him dead for what he’s done. Tartarus? Ha! Shigaraki will be lucky not to get convicted then immediately thrown into a volcano. You know? Like the one he’s trying to turn Mt. Fuji into? Come on Deku, my dude. Get a clue!

Never Too Old To Catch These Hands [One Piece 1104]

I was afraid we wouldn’t see Kuma’s punch follow through. Thankfully, we got it all in its face breaking glory!

St. Saturn definitely got it. Too bad the old bastard has regeneration abilities. I wonder if it’s just him or do all five Elders have that ability. We still don’t know what devil fruit Saturn ate. I wonder when Oda’s gonna reveal it? And, yes, I’m still predicting it’s a demon-demon fruit model (In case you asked).

Just who or what is taking down Saturn? You know how this works: Luffy battles the biggest threat. Zoro fights the second strongest, and Sanji, the third most powerful. Depending on his devil fruit, Saturn may be the “strongest” antagonist there, meaning Luffy gets final crack at him. If not, then Luffy returns to battle Kizaru, possibly wearing the light gloves for an advantage. Hmm… It’s still too early to know who’s the true Egghead final boss. Early? Just how much longer is this arc lasting?!

Danger Was My Middle Name [My Hero Academia 411]

Danger Sense got stolen? You should’ve seen that coming, Deku.

Shinomori sure didn’t! The Fourth One For All User, along with his Danger Sense quirk, are now apart of Shigaraki. And, it looks like with that comes the added benefit of limited access to the ghostly OFA users’ Psychic Space. Basically, Shigaraki and Deku are even more connected than before with them each holding one of the Shigaraki Twins quirks.

Would You Like Some Punch? [One Piece 1103]

I didn’t expect to see you so soon, Kuma.

I thought Oda would drag the St. Saturn situation out more, but here we are. Bartholomew Kuma landed on Egghead and is ready to give Saturn the beating of a lifetime. Yeah, right! I know better. Do you really think Saturn’s getting taken out this easily? We don’t even know his devil fruit’s name. And, whatever it is, I’m sure it’s one of the most powerful we’ve seen so far. I’m still putting my money on it being a demon-demon fruit class or something like that. Basically, whatever the opposite of the human-human fruit class is. If I’m right I’m giving myself a million dollars. Aren’t I generous?

We get confirmation Saturn isn’t Bonney’s father. Good. But, the old bastard experimented on both Ginny and Bonney. Bad. My question is why? I doubt Marijoa had no shortage of slaves from back then, so why use the eighth wife of a Celestial Dragon? My guess is Ginny’s sexual assaulter/husband couldn’t deal with Ginny’s rebellious nature and gave her to Saturn as punishment. Will we ever learn the Celestial Sleazebag’s identity? Probably. Like with most info reveals, Oda’s waiting for the right time to tell us. No doubt this person is an important character connected to world building tidbits we’re not meant to see yet. Be patient, my friends. It’s coming.

Saturn forgot that today is Bring Your Daughter To Work Day.

Forget Me Not RoboCop [One Piece 1102]

Bartholomew Kuma. A great Warlord. A greater father.

And there we have it. The life of Kuma fully revealed to us. What I absolutely love is how Kuma continued to secretly pursue his personal agenda behind the World Government’s back. Not only by helping out the Revolutionary Army (As shown in a previous chapter), but by putting his faith in Monkey D. Luffy by giving him a chance to survive in order for him to reach his full potential.

Dragon going to Roguetown. Kuma helping Luffy in secret. Gotta say I love that Luffy has had help from others along his path to become Pirate King. It makes his journey more believable that someone so young could even hope to achieve such a difficult goal.

Bonney’s also crying after realizing now she’ll never get an Xbox for her birthday.

I Wish You Were Never Born [My Hero Academia 410]

My wish didn’t come true. But, I got the next best thing!

Yes, my friends, All F. One is finally dead! Yahoo! Yipee! Who wants a slice of my AFO’s Dead Celebration Cake? Its got buttercream icing. Yum!

Jeez Louise! That battle lasted a long time! Sure, it had some good moments with All Mech throwing everything but the kitchen sink at AFO. But, still, learn how to get in, show the good stuff, then get out, Horikoshi. I know. I know. It’s not so much a Horikoshi problem as it is a shonen problem. So what? It’s my AFO Funeral Party and I’ll whine if I want to.

To the people who claim all babies are cute, I present to you: Exhibit A.

You’ve Got Mail [One Piece 1101]

Did Kuma figure out that Luffy ate the Nika fruit?

Warlord of the Sea and Professional DILF, Bartholomew Kuma, knows all too well that the Sun God Nika has rubber like abilities. I’m sure he put 2 and 2 together or at least suspected it could be possible. It does explain why, in addition to secretly helping the Revolutionary Army, Kuma also helped Luffy on the down-low whenever he could. Yeah, I’m going with that.

Ah, Oda. Using Kuma’s tragedy to help justify Dragon (mostly) abandoning his son. Now I’m even more interested in who Luffy’s mother is. Was she a Navy officer, Revolutionary, or simply a regular person. Hmm… Perhaps, she was a pirate?!

Ay-yi-yi! Alpha should’ve recruited a team of teenagers with attitude to help her.

Bakugo’s Sweaty Balls [My Hero Academia 409]

Who knew balls of sweat could be so powerful?

And who knew Bakugo could encase his explosive sweat inside regular sweat to use as time bombs? Also, regular sweat? He can do that?! My Bull Crap Detector’s beeping, but there’s no other way for anyone to win against AFO. AFO is so overpowered, it’s gonna take a lot of B.S. to put the wanna-be Demon Lord down for good. And, hey, I’m getting tired of AFO, so let’s all agree to look the other way and move on.

What the…? This is what happens when Horikoshi doesn’t take his nap.

It Ain’t Easy Being Evil [My Hero Academia 408]

All For One only wants to rule the world. Is that so wrong?

Yes, it is. But, in any case, it’s great we finally got to see AFO’s origin. And, surprise surprise, he was always evil. Actually, I’d rather we gotten more focus on the OFA Users. AFO’s a one-note villain, but all the OFA Users seem interesting. Was Yoichi enjoying his life away from AFO? How did Kudo and Bruce meet? What the heck is Nana Shimura’s hero name?There’s lots of unanswered question that I think Horikoshi isn’t gonna answer this late in the series. Frankly, I would’ve loved an entire arc focused on AFO and the OFA Users.

AFO’s been hiding monsters up his butt all this time. No wonder he’s so grumpy.

The Kumanator [One Piece 1100]

Did Bartholomew Kuma know all along Monkey D. Luffy ate the Nika fruit?

It makes sense the World Government would send their most “loyal” Warlord to investigate. And that would also explain why Kuma helped the Straw Hats several times throughout their journey. Kuma basically put his cybernetic faith in Sun God Nika/Luffy to eventually bring joy to the world. Hmm… Is that why Kuma’s currently flying to Egghead Island? To help Luffy one last time? What a bro!

What a wholesome scene! Wait? Is that Dominoes Pizza? Man, the World Government really is evil.
