Why can’t I shake the feeling I just want this arc over with?

Sure, the Wano Arc has gone on for awhile with little signs of ending anytime soon. Yeah, yeah, we’re past the halfway mark with just the battle against Kaido and Orochi’s forces left but there’s sooooo much build-up it’s giving me fight fatigue before the actual battles! To make things worse I don’t care about most of the enemies our good guys will be facing. Okay, Queen, King, Apoo and Kaido are interesting. Hawkings too. But, the rest? Jack? The Tobi Roppo? The Numbers? I just don’t give a damn about them.

♫Yo! Yo! Check it out. This chapter was a overall treat to read. We got to see Luffy and Zoro bleed. But, other than Apoo getting dissed by Kid. There wasn’t much else to talk about or pig. (It’s alright, Red. Keep goin’. Playa’s play, baby.)♫

♫Don’t care about Tama cause she’s just a brat. And all those wack Gifters need a back-hand smack. I only wanna see Queen rap & dance. While pouring alcohol down his momma’s pants. (Momma’s ass shakin’ left and right. Go to my house and we say goodnight.)♫

I care more about Pound being alive in the cover story than those Tobi Roppo meatheads.

Y’all know the drill. The Strawhats have to separate for their individual or tag-team fights. The Monster Trio (Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji) naturally must each be on their own. The Weak Trio (Usopp, Chopper, and Nami) along with Shinobu and Carrot are traveling together. I really excited to see who they run into. Together, the Weak Trio is a force to be reckoned with.

Then, there’s Franky and Brook. Should be a fun battle or two for them. And, finally, there’s Jimbei and Robin, who I hope the latter gets to rumble against a baddie. Come on, Oda. Give Robin a good fight. It’s been ages!

Goodness, gracious! This battle is gonna take decades to finish!

Holy crap in your butt, there’s a lot of baddies and goodies about to duke it out. I’ve passed feeling excited and am more worried now. Not counting the cannon fodder, the bad guys got the Tobi Roppo, Lead Performers, Ninjaoniwabanshu, and Big Mom’s kids. Do the Numbers count as fodder? Maybe Franky will wreak ’em with his robot or something. And, you can’t forget Big Mom, Kaido…and Kaido’s son? What’s that all about? And, who’s the mom? I heard it was one of the ladies from The Pussycat Dolls but who knows!

Still waiting for my invitation, Luffy. Maybe I should check my spam folder again? Wait, does the Thousand Sunny have wifi? Do they even have a computer?! Damn it!

So, Jimbe’s joining party is postponed due to war. Yep, the big battle has started and I, for one, is very…meh about it. Don’t get me wrong, once crap starts hitting the fan I’ll be whooping and fanboying it up as usual but I’m just drained from the flashback and build-up. In all honesty, I’m more than ready for the Wano Arc to end and seeing the Strawshats off on another adventure. Which, again, is weird because they have to take down TWO Emperors before the day is saved. The Me from 5 or 10 years ago would’ve lost my mind and the mere thought of something like this happening. Guess, I’m burned out on Wano.

At the end of the day, I don’t care about samurai or Wano, only the 3 pirate crews fighting alongside them. When did I get so negative? Better take another edible.

Move over, Franky! There’s a new big guy in town! And, his name’s Jimbe. Wait, I thought it was Jinbe. Ah, whatever.

That’s right, y’all. Jimbe, complete with his 438 million booty—erm—bounty is back. Robin’s got class. Nami’s got sass. Brook’s got jazz. Chopper’s got medical pads. Sanji smokes grass. Zoro’s got…um… My point is Jimbe’s got a big juicy ass, and he’s back!

Now, did he bring reinforcements? I hope so. You’re cool and all Jimbe, but a little more help would be nice too.

First, he called out Raki (Or, was it Gal Gadot?) for singing Imagine with her CP9 friends on their visual Den Den Mushi. Then, he crapped on Kalifa (Or, maybe it was Madonna?) for her weird bubble bath Instagram video. Now, it’s Kanjuro’s turn to face his wrath.

Making sure Kanjuro’s tweets were wrong, Kin’emon lied about what Lord Yasuie’s Tik Tok message really meant, the petty bastard. Well, it all worked out in the end because Lord Orochi’s orders via Facebook (Only the vilest humans use Facebook, after all.) were inaccurate and did nothing to stop the gathering of the Akazaya Samurai’s 5400 allies, all with the help of Google Hangouts, but don’t tell Kin’emon!

Ugh… I got a headache.

I had this weird dream I wasn’t loving One Piece. There…was this guy…  And…I don’t know. But, for some strange reason, I get the feeling I shouldn’t remember and should never speak of it again.

We’re back in the present, y’all!

And, oh no! Kanjuro (a Kurozumi, no less) was the traitor all along! At first, I thought it was Kiku. Thinking about it, it makes sense it was him. His devil fruit would allow him to send messages to Orochi pretty easily. Gold stars to everyone who figured it out before reading this chapter. Maybe I could’ve done so, but I was distracted with… Ode… No, no, no. I better not think about it. Hm, why is there a hole in my wall shaped like my head?

Oden is really O-Dead. But, O-da just can’t stop not O-mitting him. O-Damn it!

That was a nice scene with the Roger Pirates floating down from Sky Island, even if I had to see him again.

Anyone else feels like we’re missing pieces of this chapter? For example, we barely got any of Kaido’s Generals/Lead Performers/Assistant Producers. Oh, well, what can I say. The whole burning of Kozuki Castle, just like most of this flashback, was rushed.

Alrighty. Let’s get this over with.

Merry Christmas, Kozuki Oden!

I did get emotional.

No lie. I did. Oda does a great job of writing emotional scenes. But, at the end of the day, this is the story of a… fool of a lord who had the opportunity to save his country but decided to listen to his father’s murderer instead.

There’s just so much crap you have to ignore to like this flashback. I won’t go over it in detail again. The short version is Oden made some VERY bad decisions when handling Orochi but all that is tossed to the side to give a fake emotional impact of him being a hero by protecting Wano for years. It’s forced drama. Sure, the drama is good in places, but it’s all built on a foundation of stupid. I just can’t get over it.

Well, at least Shinobu got to free Oden’s fanboys from their chains. That’s something. And, no, I’m not going into how Oden can die from a bullet to the head yet survive boiling oil for an hour. That’s shonen power level BS and it’s the least of this flashback’s problem.
