I’ll Take You All On [One Piece 1120]

Optimus Emet is about to rejoin the Matrix.

Over 900 years is a good run. Sure, your best friend died and the planet flooded, but at least the WIFI still works. Emet’s about to die, Y’all. For real this time! Let’s just hope he survives long enough for Vegapunk’s recording to give us the name of the Ancient Civilization. But, hey! Oda gave us a Chekhov’s robot powers. I’m sure we’ll see what Emet can really do in the Void Century flashback.

Anyone else get the feeling Emet’s gonna self-destruct? That’s usually how it goes, right? Nothing else works but you can bet your sweet bippy the ole self-boom is oiled up and ready to go. Besides, it’s the one thing that could possibly slow down the Five Elders long enough for Team Luffy to escape.

Emet’s gonna use his secret weapon: Tattling. The Five Moms are gonna spank ’em good!

Knuck If You B̶u̶c̶k̶ Boar [One Piece 1119]

Nika Bonney sucks.

I figured stamina would be an issue but Ms. Nika barely did anything! Well, the powerscalers are at least happy. Also, I guess mastery of haki comes with Bonney’s Nika Package. Sure. Why not?

Alrighty! Let me see… Five Elders. One (St. Mars) got Team Rocket’d. St. Peter and St. Warcury are being held back by Gear 5 Luffy and Emet, the ancient robot. …That leaves St. Saturn and St. Nusjuro. How much you wanna guess those two are what’s holding up the Thousand Sunny Group?

Don’t think Emet forgot you owe him money, St. Warcury.

If true, then Team Nami needs a distraction. Enter Atlas wanting to check up on the Sunny. I really don’t see Lilith dying, so what does Atlas want them to do? Well, I guess they could try to sacrifice themselves but the Straw Hats will stop them. And, the hold up could give Stussy time to help and hop aboard the Thousand Sunny. Either that or she finds and escapes with Edison somehow.

Capcom VS Shōnen Jump Game In The Works [2D News]

With fan excitement at an all-time high thanks to the recently announced Marvel VS Capcom Fighting Collection, Capcom, the beloved video game company, has not yet revealed future plans for a Marvel VS Capcom 4. Instead, a video game industry insider has leaked knowledge of the development of a Capcom VS Shōnen Jump fighting game.

The mystery insider source also mentioned the roster will include Ryu, Chun-Li, Zangief, Goku, Luffy, a little girl the insider thinks may be Anya from Spy x Family, an angry looking guy, a rugged guy brandishing a sword, a woman with love or heart powers, a happy boy with messy hair, and a high-school girl wearing a school uniform. It should be noted the source is a casual anime/manga fan.

Going by descriptions, the game may include just about any and every character to ever appear in Weekly Shōnen Jump and its digital publication, Shōnen Jump+.

Anime reaction YouTubers are thrilled by the news, leading to multiple accounts of their viewership becoming hearing impaired from their high-pitched screams and continuous chanting of “Let’s Go!”.

Rule 63 [One Piece 1118]

Double the Joy Boy, double the fun.

Jewelry Bonney became Joy Boy—erm—Joy Girl. That’s one powerful devil fruit she’s got. Then again, a rubber devil fruit can turn you into a toon god so it’s nothing new. The question is: What happens now? Easy. The Straw Hats escape. One of the Nika’s can catch the Thousand Sunny. Another can attack St. Mars (demon bird) and… Sanji holds off Kizaru? Come on! You know the Navy admiral’s making one last appearance before the arc ends.

I guess Dorry and Brogy will indeed escape and won’t sacrifice themselves to save everyone—nor Kuma. So far, only Stussy and Edison are being left behind. Well, Stussy at least. Edison isn’t connected to Punk Records, meaning he may be dead. What do I think, I hear you asking with Doritos baited breath? I think he’s dead…until he gets a cover story. If he doesn’t get a cover story then he’s a goner. All the male Dr. Vegapunks are dead and the women survive. Coincidence? You bet it is! Just like it being a coincidence all the Vegapunk women have negative traits. Lilith the EVIL. Atlas the VIOLENCE. York the GREEDY. Remember kids: Oda-sama’s not sexist. He’s just old and Japanese.

Censoring The D [One Piece 117]

Iron Giant? More like Glass Joe.

Just one itty bitty hit from a monstrously large pig demon was enough to down the Iron Giant. What I jobber! How the guy managed to get into that MultiVersus game I’ll never know. In any case, Dr. Vegapunk’s message was finally stopped, leaving us to wonder what he had to say about the D people. It was probably something like they have the power to change the world or are prone to addiction so shouldn’t drink alcohol. Vegapunk’s a doctor; a diagnosis is to be expected.

Blackbeard was listening to the broadcast! But we never saw a reaction from Shanks or Mihawk. Hmm… Is not showing their reaction be implied proof of the two secretly being blood related to the Celestial Dragons, as thus already knew the world was sinking?

Damn it, Joyboy! I warned you not to install Windows ME inside the robot!

And what about Edison? Looks like he’s screwed—along with the Giant Pirates. Don’t forget, their ship’s damaged. And if they can’t fix it, there’s no way they’re fitting on the Thousand Sunny. Let’s hope Franky can somehow keep their ship afloat or the Giant Pirates’ comeback tour is gonna end faster than a gluten-free dieter’s willpower when trapped inside a Krispy Kreme.

Knowing Is Half The Battle [One Piece 1115]

Dr. Vegapunk putting all of Joy Boy’s business in the streets.

My brain is bumpin’ with theories about Joy Boy and the Void Century. I don’t know where to start. Hmm… How about we start with Joy Boy losing the war and the rising sea level confirmed not to be a natural phenomenon. It’s safe to assume that the Ancient Weapons were used during the Void Century, and I doubt it was by Joy Boy. If true, then The Alliance had access to and used Ancient Weapons. …Ancient Civilization. …20 Kingdoms/The Alliance.

Hmm…

Did the Ancient Civilization consist of at least 20 kingdoms? That would explain how they got access to the weapons: The rulers of those kingdoms either commanded they be made or stole them from another kingdom.

Joy Boy couldn’t have been just “some dude”. Entire kingdoms don’t join up just to stomp some guy. Joy Boy was important. Perhaps a king or prince? One of those I-Hate-Being-Royalty types who desired to be free. Hence, he became a pirate.

Phantom Blot?! Ancient Civilization is Disneyland confirmed!

Although, that doesn’t fully explain why the 20 kingdoms would pick a fight with him. Unless, they didn’t care about Joy Boy and only fought him because he was trying to stop them from doing something horrible. Something like…taking over the world? And in trying to take down Team Joy Boy, they forked up the planet.

Weather Or Not You Believe Me Is Up To You [One Piece 1113]

There’s bad news and then there’s BAD news. Dr. Vegapunk just gave the entire world an excuse to crap their pants at the same time.

That’s right, dear friends. The water level is rising all over the world and it will eventually flood every island in the world! Well, except for Fishman Island… and all the sky islands. And, conveniently, Mary Geoise. Hmm… Is flooding the world Team Imu’s endgame?

Sure, at first I thought, King Imu & The Old Dirty Bastards wanted the Mother Flame just to power Uranus so they can destroy the non-World Government islands and keep absolute power over the rest out of fear via Star Wars‘ evil Empire. But. That’s. Not. Evil. Enough.

Which one of you jerks forgot to turn off the garden hose?

One Piece is a Shonen series and Shonen manga looove mega evil final villains. Destroying the world is the bare minimum requirement for a Shonen final boss. Plus—you know—the Five Elders and Imu aren’t exactly fond of their subjects. They’re all insects to them and Uranus is their big bug zapper from hell.

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.

P. Diddy Wants To Party With One Piece Live Action Cast [2D News]

Famed rap mogul and hip-hop legend, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs—who’s currently being accused of numerous illegal activities and workplace misconduct—has expressed interest in meeting the cast of the hit live action Netflix series, One Piece.

People close to the millionaire record producer have gone on record to say he’s watched the entire first season more than once and has expressed “a great desire” in having all five members of the Straw Hat Crew cast over to one of his luxurious homes for a congratulations party on their newfound success.

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

LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 06: Singer Taylor Swift arrives at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards at Staples Center on September 6, 2012 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)

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.
