Not My Celestial Dragons [One Piece 1083]

Demolish the Celestial Monarchy! We want a democracy!

Things are heating up between the World Government and Revolutionary Army. The R.A. destroying the Celestial Dragons’ food supply while declaring war is a smart move. Just giving those elitist, tax exempt bastards a taste of wanting for bare necessities is something short of impossible without some of the strongest Revolutionaries working together. And good on them for freeing as many slaves as they can too! Where’s their Nobel Prize, huh?

We get confirmation Jabra and the rest of Lucci’s CP9 crew we haven’t seen lately are also members of CP0. Not sure why they’re there. They’re just standing around giving commentary. That’s what happens sometimes. Someone gets promoted and they do as little work as possible. Cipher Pol bastards!

I didn’t know Lindsay Lohan was a Celestial Dragon

The Family That Burns Together Learns Together [My Hero Academia 388]

Why is this chapter only 10 pages? Easy, Dabi burned the rest.

If we’re heading towards the conclusion of The Todoroki Family Drama Show, it makes sense the entire family is here. Well, not Shoto, but he’s on his way and is bringing the climax with him.

Oh, no! The Todoroki Family’s trapped in a chapter of Bleach!

F Is For Family (and Fire) [My Hero Academia 387]

Oh, Hi Mr. Compress!

It’s been awhile. A shame one of the League of Villains is spending the final arc doing nothing. Well, at least we have confirmation Geten is a distant relative of Rei’s. Now we know why Rei’s dad sold her off like a smelly used leather jacket. Very insightful. I’m so happy that plot hole was—Oh, who am I kidding? The Geten and Mr. Compress scene was just an excuse to explain how Rei’s ice quirk could have any effect on a superheated Dabi.

If you think this is bad, wait until Natsu brings his heteromorph girlfriend home for dinner next week.

Insane Clown Guild Posse [One Piece 1082]

I guess Buggy’s Cross Guild really is becoming a Warlord crew.

Cross Guild needs heavy hitters if it wants to compete against Shanks, Blackbeard, and Luffy’s crews’ in reaching Laugh Tale first. Not to say Buggy, Sir Crocodile and Mihawk aren’t already a powerful “team” but Oda’s seems to be setting up all the major pirates to be in the race for One Piece, either still in the running or failing to achieve it. Gecko Moria’s given. He’s got nowhere else to go. I was hesitant about Boa Hancock joining but if Crocodile wants to establish a nation where they’re safe from the World Government then I can see the Snake Princess joining for that reason. Edward Weevil’s a wildcard. Especially since he’s been captured by the Navy, but who knows? If he escapes his travels could lead him to Cross Guild.

Silly Buggy. You can achieve the same amount of money and power by becoming a YouTube influencer.

I Am Plus Ultra Man [My Hero Academia 386]

Are we getting Mecha All Might?

Mecha. Gundam. Iron Man. Whatever you wanna call it, I think that’s what we’re getting. Fine by me! Toshinari’s no idiot. After losing his ability to change into All Might for long periods of time, I’m sure he’s been planning on someway to re-enter the fight against evil if need be. This is the result. But, there’s a problem. How can Toshinari beat Teeny Bopper All For One?

Answer: He won’t. Isn’t that wonderful? No, I’m not AFO’s new publicist. I’m just saying Toshinari doesn’t have to defeat AFO in a fight. He only needs to stall the Gen Z tyrant long enough for Eri’s Rewind to finish the job. The bad news is Toshinari’s probably gonna die, for real this time. This is the former #1 hero’s final death flag and it’s a flappin’ in the wind like crazy. The final arc. A final battle against AFO. Mecha All Might’s the only one who can stop Brat For One from teaming up with Shigaraki. The stakes have never been higher. If Toshinori survives this, he’s surviving the entire series.

Yes, All Might. And I am here as you are here as you are me and we are all together. Goo goo g’ joob.

A Cold Day In Fullalead [One Piece 1081]

Still not convinced Blackbeard’s tenth captain, Kuzan, is completely on ole Teach’s side.

I just feel like it’d take more than Blackbeard’s conversation to bring a former admiral over to the dark side. Either Kuzan’s leaving out a very important detail that caused him to waver during or after his match with Akainu or he’s simply doing things his own way AKA being a Sword agent. Seriously. Wouldn’t there be more panic from the Navy if Kuzan really joined the Blackbeard Pirates? Some scene with Fleet Admiral Akainu cursing him or the Elder Stars wanting him dead? Nope, Oda’s never shown the big dogs talking about it. Yeah, there’s more going on here we don’t know. And something tells me Kuzan isn’t making it out of this series alive.

Remember when I basically said last chapter only Kuzan and Blackbeard had enough power and narrative prowess to kill Garp? I’m not saying is a done deal but the death flag is a flappin’ in the wind. Would Kuzan kill Garp? Maybe not, but he could unintendedly distract Garp long enough for the other Blackbeard captains to come in a do the deed. Captain Kid, defeated. Captain Law, defeated. If not outright killed, then defeated could be on Vice Admiral Garp’s menu. Not to mention, the Blackbeard Pirates inevitable release of a Garp diss track with their new album releasing soon. How they got Timberland to produce it I’ll never know.

Blue Hole was Kuzan’s nickname back in college.

All For One and None For All [My Hero Academia 385]

All For One takes a page out of the Plus Ultra Playbook.

“Blah Blah my darkness made me stronger blah.” No, my evil overlord friend. You’re already evil! Growing younger didn’t somehow make you more evil. Here’s what happened: You were pushed into a corner and your quirks evolved. That’s it. Quirk evolution through training and dire circumstances was something established in this universe long ago. Geez, All For One. Save the drama for your YouTube video essay channel.

Don’t forget about Pop Off’s ability to make someone celebrate after winning a match in a fighting game tournament

Agents of Sword [One Piece 1080]

Will Vice Admiral Garp die?

Are we witnessing the galaxy expanding beginning of the end of our favorite fisting Navy officer? Well, I doubt anyone other than Kuzan or Blackbeard himself is powerful enough to take him down. So, unless Kuzan’s on Fullalead (Blackbeard’s still fighting Law, I assume.), Monkey D. Garp’s not dying today.

Also, Garp’s the Leader of Sword, right? It can’t be anyone else I suppose. Sure, let’s go with that.

My Ghosted Vigilantes [My Hero Academia 384]

Ow! That’s some harsh character whiplash!

Gigantomachia. One of All For One’s most loyal henchmen is now attacking the Overlord of Evil, by choice! What the fish?!

I get it. It’s a thin line between love and hate. Sure, but according to the chapter, Giganto’s pissed because after waiting so long for his return, All For One let the big brute get captured by the heroes while he escaped inside Tomura’s body. That was enough to make the obsessed giant treasurer of the Fu*k All For One Club? …Yeah, I can see it happening but the fact that it happens at the BEST POSSIBLE TIME in the series for the heroes sours the moment. It’s just too convenient.

There’s Koichi. He’s standing behind Melissa. …I’m not crazy! You’re crazy!!!!
