in TOP TENThe New Straw Hat Pirates Bounties After Wano – Ranked
I believe that at the end of the Wano arc, Luffy’s bounty will be even bigger than Kaido’s and Big Mom’s current bounties. It is apparent that the Five Elders greatly fear Luffy’s potential and even ordered CP0, the highest agency within the World Government, to eliminate Luffy as he battled Kaido, due to the […] More

Did Luffy finally defeat Kaido?!
In my opinion this is not the end of Wano. Kaido has been fighting nonstop for 63 chapters (he fought Big Mom for 3 days, then he fought the Nine Red Scabbards, the 5 Supernovas, then Luffy, Yamato and finally Luffy again), with incredible feats of strength and getting constantly attacked. Without eating. Kaido is extremely durable […] More

A Small Detail Missed in Chapter 1048!
Luffy’s fist looked much smaller compared to Kaido in Chapter 1048 than it did in Chapter 1047. I thought Oda might’ve nerfed the size of it a bit, but nope. If you look closely, the real Kaido is inside his new form Kaen Daiko. Kaido breathes a large amount of flames from his mouth, forming […] More

People pray for bumper harvest, peace and health […] More

Why it’s a still too early for Luffy to beat Kaido
After the latest chapter, lots of people believe that Luffy will beat Kaido with his next attack.

It’s one-sided A consistent pattern […] More

Chapter 1046 clarifies how Devil Fruit Awakening occurs
According to Kaido, Awakening is when the mind and body are able to haness the ability. This I think, sums up awakening, because this implies that it’s a natural procedure, which means it be might possible to force, or stimulate it. In natural circumstances, the devil fruit awakens when the coditions are complete, when the […] More
