How Zoro learned his new ability over the course of Wano
I want to explain what Enma was doing to Zoro, because it seems we actually get to see exactly how Zoro learns how to infuse Conqueror’s into his 3 sword style throughout the course of Onigashima. People still treat Enma itself as Zoro’s powerup, but nothing really indicates that his growth came from anywhere but himself. I […] More

Why Aokiji should be the World’s Most Wanted Man
Why is Aokiji not the world’s most wanted man at the moment? Eliminating him should be the Marine’s highest priority. He was very popular with the troops of any rank, which was why most flag officers favored him as candidate for the position of Fleet Admiral. However, after losing the position to Sakazuki, he resigned […] More

The Traitor On Egghead Island, Explained
I think it’s the main Vegapunk/Stella. The “traitor” ripping cameras out the ceiling of the Labosphere in Egghead: The close-together beady eyes. The flatted-out head. Maybe the apple-antenna? Hair doesn’t look as spiky. But maybe Oda did that to make the silhouette look somewhat ambiguous? If it is Vegapunk #1 running this sabotage mission, the […] More

The gags and interactions between Zoro, Luffy, Kaku and Lucci were so fun
The gags and interactions between the Straw Hats are sometimes so boring and repetitive: Brook asking for panties, Sanji simping, Sanji and Zoro dickfighting, Weak Trio hiding in fear etc.. Instead when Oda takes out Luffy and Zoro from the Straw Hats and puts them together with other character it becomes much much better under […] More

Misunderstanding regarding the recent revelations about Zoro’s Family
With the recent reveal of Zoro’s lineage in the SBS for Volume 105, I’ve seen lots of people upset that it wasn’t explored more during Wano. But I’m curious, what would be the added significance of establishing Zoro’s heritage in the manga versus in the SBS? Zoro has never cared about his ancestry or origins […] More

Recent Revelations present a Huge Opportunity for Zoro’s Story and Character Development
So with the recent revelation that we’ve learned about Zoro and his lineage, we now know that his Grandfather was a Swordsman from Shimotsuki VIllage, and his his father was killed in a battle against Pirates. This puts a whole new perspective behind Zoro’s “Pirate Hunter” Epithet. For years, many people just assumed that Zoro […] More

Eustass Kid’s Awakening Has So Much Potential
Before I start we should take into account that in Anime and Manga things can become more simplistic for the sake of the narrative. Things like rubber not burning when hit by lightning or Magma being able to burn an intangible element like fire. So with the awakening of Kid’s devil fruit, the potential of […] More

Shanks and Buggy’s Real Plans
I just recently read the entire series over about 3 weeks and, like many people, have browsed social media for theories, explanations, and summaries. One recurring discussion that seems to take place is that of Buggy’s future and Shanks plans. To me, it’s rather obvious. When the Roger Pirates came back after visiting Laugh Tale […] More

Is Blackbeard going to kill Garp?
I believe Blackbeard has the Whole Cake Island and Fishman Island Road Poneglyphs. Law said ‘You took the words right out of my mouth’ when Blackbeard said he’d be taking Law’s Poneglyphs, indicating Blackbeard has some of his own. Blackbeard will beat Law and take the Zou and Wano Poneglyphs, meaning he’ll have all 4. […] More

Road to World’s Strongest Swordsman – How Zoro Will Achieve His Goal
Retrospective Look at Zoro’s Journey as a Swordsman Zoro’s journey to become World’s Strongest Swordsman starts with Baratie and his fight with Mihawk. Well, in reality it starts way earlier than that, ever since Zoro was a little child, but when it really starts in the eyes of the readers is with his defeat by the hands […] More

Oda’s promise of the imminent start of a Battle Royale is coming true
Right now we have Kid vs Shanks and Law vs Blackbeard. I can’t see Blackbeard and Shanks losing at this point of the story because of many reasons, among which narrative and hype built for over twenty five years. At the same time i can’t see Kid and Law dying at this point of the […] More
