The Great Escape [One Piece 1112]

Five old men, one admiral, and a ton of fodder are determined to keep the Straw Hat Crew from escaping. Welcome to One Piece, Chapter 1112. But first, a message from our sponsor.

We get what I believe is our first look inside Punk Records. The transmission transponder snail broadcasting the worldwide message is inside… along with something else. With only one minute until Dr. Vegapunk snitches on the World Government—what could St. Mars be looking at? Well, I’m assuming that something is gonna prevent him from destroying the snail. Maybe another Vegapunk Satellite about the hatch from its tank? But, if so, how could they keep Mars from destroying the snail? Hmm…

We know all of the Straw Hats are making it out, but what about their allies? Stussy stayed behind to lower the Frontier Dome at the right moment to allow the others in Labophase to escape. Is she doomed? Well, if she has the strength to fly off the island with her bat powers, then no. But that’s also assuming she can do it undetected. Hope your life insurance is paid, Stussy.

AFO Wants All The Smoke [My Hero Academia 420]

That was fast.

I was totally prepared for at least four chapters of flashbacks before getting back to the present. You can’t blame me, right? With the Aizawa/Yamada/Shirakumo drama plus the Gashly battle, I was sure Horikoshi was gonna pay off those plotlines with good action, character development, and drama.

Nope!

Shirakumo AKA Kurogiri just sorta snapped out of it and instantly became Hero Uber, while Team Sero’s fight against Gashly was wrapped up OFF-SCREEN. Gashly was a Tartarus villain! You know, one of the most dangerous villains in Japan. If all of this isn’t a sign that Horikoshi is rushing towards the finish line, I don’t know what is.

X-Men? I thought you said ask Min. You know, like, ask Mineta to help us out.

Taylor Swift x One Piece Collaboration Project Announced [2D News]

Miss Americana herself, Taylor Swift, is teaming up with the equally popular Japanese series One Piece for a special anime episode.

Toei Animation, the anime company adapting the manga series every week, has been in talks with the famous singer/songwriter for years for some sort of joint partnership. Fans of the pop superstar have even speculated Uta—a singer created for the movie, One Piece Film: Red—was based off Tay Tay herself.

Details have been sparse but comments from Toei suggest the anime special takes place in the world of One Piece on an island rumored to contain a valuable treasure. There, the infamous Straw Hat Pirates—lead by their captain, Monkey D. Luffy—will team-up with Taylor and her Swifties Pirate Gang to find the treasure rumored to make anyone who possesses it as world-famous as the Pirate King.

Taylor herself commented outside a New York City restaurant on the project saying “I love one piece swimsuits! Huh? Anime? What’s that?”

The episode is expected to air sometime next year.

Elbaph Is The Next Island Destroyed By Uranus [One Piece]

The giants of Elbaph worship the Sun God, Nika. The World Government was to erase anything and anyone connected to him or the Void Century. Doesn’t take a socially awkward One Piece fan with too much time on his hands to figure out Elbaph’s days are numbered!

But why hasn’t the World Government destroyed Elbaph already, you ask? Simple. They can’t!

Elbaph is an island full of warrior giants, for one. That’s more than enough to give the World Government pause. Then, there’s the island’s location in lawless/Yonko territory. Sure, that’s another big problem but Elbaph has been around for centuries, right? You’d think it be worth it to the Five Elders and King Im to destroy the country hundreds of years ago. So, again, why not?

Admiral Kizaru Denies Attending World’s Largest Legalize Marijuana Rally [2D News]

Admiral Kizaru has officially denied attending the world’s largest legalize marijuana rally hosted by Dewing D. Rugs last week as a guest. At a news press conference yesterday, the decorated navy admiral cleared the air by explaining very slowly why his attendance there was only to provide security and maintain order.

“I was there to do my job and only my job. Besides, the good stuff was already sold out. I-It’s my job to know this kind of thing. God, I’m hungry.”

It was later explained by Vice Admiral Smoker that Kizaru was filling in for Admiral Ryokugyu who was hesitint to attend such a rally, fearing for his life due to his devil fruit ability.

We’ve reached out to Mr. Rugs—who currently lives on a farm in the Lulusia Kingdom with his wife and their three children—for comment, but he has yet to return our calls.

Disarmed & Dangerous [My Hero Academia 419]

Now’s as good a time as ever for Deku to join the army. Get it? ARMy? No, you shut up!

I hate All For One as the final villain. I hate Shigaraki’s growth being all for nothing. But, I’m not gonna dwell on it this chapter. Talking about it ad nauseum would be underhanded of me. Ah! See what I did there?! …Sorry, Deku.

Deku lost the arms race against Shigaraki. And, AFO all but confirmed the young hero no longer has One For All. Where’s Eri when you need her? Seriously. Deku needs Eri, big time. I guess Aizawa will warp him to Eri’s location so she can Rewind his arms and bring One For All back. But, didn’t Ectoplasm say Eri’s not at full power? How is she gonna pull this off? Whatever. I wash my hands with this topic. Oops! Sorry, Deku.

Look on the bright side, Deku: Think of all the money you’re gonna save after canceling your OnlyFans subscriptions.

Top 10 Most Popular Procrastinating Manga Creators Of All Time [2D News]

Releasing content on a regular basis can be difficult for anyone, be it a blog post, video, or review. Now imagine having to create a fifteen to seventeen page comic almost EVERY SINGLE WEEK. A seemingly impossible schedule like that is what’s expected of weekly manga creators, or mangka-ka, all the time.

Surprisingly enough, some very successful manga-ka have made it their mission to actively delay their works on a constant basis. And, as a result, their series have gained greater levels of popularity as well as an increase in visual quality.

Some of the professionals on this list may surprise some of you, while most of you savvy regular weekly series fans have already guessed at least half of the people I’m about to mention.

Let’s get to it!
