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.

The Kuma King & I [One Piece 1099]

What’s so special about Buccaneer blood?

If we’re to assume Blackbeard is also a Buccaneer, then my theory is the blood negates devil fruit weaknesses. I’m not sure if Blackbeard can swim, but at the very least I’m guessing Buccaneer blood is why Blackbeard can eat multiple devil fruits without dying.

Staying on the topic of devil fruits, are you wondering why Eiichiro Oda didn’t elaborate on how Bonney obtained a devil fruit? The only reason I can think of is that it has something to do with the very nature of devil fruits and Oda isn’t quite ready to reveal that secret just yet. Put in pin in it, Y’All. It’ll turn up later on the quiz.

Kuma has that same expression every time he steps on one of Bonney’s Legos

How the heck do monarchies work in One Piece? You have the country of Alabasta/Arabasta where rulership is passed down through the Nefertari family, and then you have Sorbet Kingdom where, I don’t know, there’s an election, maybe? The World Government picks their ruler? It’s never mentioned if King Bekori is related to King Bulldog. I’m totally confused on this. Maybe I should run for King of Sorbet Kingdom? Seems like any bozo can get in.

Boss Baby [My Hero Academia 407]

All For One killed MHA’s Charles Xavier!

I’m talking about the then grown up Glowing Baby. That person was trying to unite humans and “mutants” under the banner of peace. And, from what little we learned, it was working. They were gaining more and more exposure and followers. Basically, AFO set the meta human/human peace movement back years, maybe even decades. All because AFO was jealous. Damn.

Are we to assume the Shigaraki Twins never had someone take care of them? That AFO came out the box, so to speak, with enough competence or instinct to survive from day one? Yeah, that’s a bit too much to swallow.

Normally, kids don’t start sapping their parents’ life force until they start asking questions.

Mad Men [My Hero Academia 406]

One For All flashback incoming?

Now’s the perfect time for Horikoshi to give us the full story on One For All’s creation, along with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd user’s history. I’m not exactly a fan of flashbacks in-between fights but I’m curious about OFA’s origin and the “dark times” when AFO ruled unopposed, so I’ll allow it.

I think he’s referring to Detective Conan, Bakugo.

Dad By Daylight [One Piece 1098]

Implied sexual assault? In One Piece?!

Sure, slavery does exists. And we knew the Celestial Dragons can have multiple wives, but this … this hits closer to home when it happens to a named character. Poor Ginny. Kidnapping. Rape. Murder. Slavery. I’ve mentioned before how Oda has made the Celestial Dragons irredeemable. He’s really pushing that there’s no way the CDs can stay in power. They must be overthrown. One Piece cannot end on a happy note otherwise.

If my math is right, Bonney should be around twelve or thirteen years old! That explains Dr. Vegapunk treating her like a little girl. He probably also treated Bonney’s sapphire scales disease. That would explain why Bonney was on Egghead years ago. Dragon most likely asked Vegapunk to help. So… does that mean Papa Kuma willingly let himself become Vegapunk’s pacifista experiment as a way of paying him back for saving Bonney? Hmm…

There’s only one logical reason as to why Oda didn’t finish the art. He started pole dancing at night again.

Where You At? [One Piece 1097]

Maybe she just went to use the bathroom?

No. Ginny is indeed gone. Kidnapped by the looks of a mysterious pair of legs on the last page. But, who? And, why? Dragon said it was an “enemy”. Hmm… I’m gonna go out on a limb and say King Bekori is involved. Maybe he had Ginny kidnapped to make Bartholomew Kuma do whatever he wants. What is that thing? Maybe he figured out Kuma has Buccaneer blood and wants to turn him in for a reward? Yeah, this isn’t my best theory. But, I believe everything will lead back to the Sorbet Kingdom. Kuma ruling the kingdom. His Sorbet Kingdom friends becoming Bonney’s crewmates. One thing’s for sure, we haven’t seen the last of that country.

There’s only one person evil enough to kidnap Ginny. Jimmy Fallon!
