The Devil Fruit categories stuff has been explained to me in the comments, thanks guys! It’s definitely the element of the story that I’m least knowledgeable about, lol.
CURRENT TWITCH SCHEDULE:
Mondays @ 10am EST: A Blind Playthrough of The Great Ace Attorney
Wednesdays @ 10am EST: A Blind Playthrough of Xenoblade Chronicles 3/Haikyuu Discussions
Sundays @ 11am EST:Mob Psycho 100 and Chainsaw Man anime reactions & One Piece Chapter reads
SOME FRIDAYS, I do full One Piece reading streams as well, starting from around 10-10:30am EST.
I hated that Pagaya didn’t actually die. I did think it was a real death. Him surviving is one of Oda’s dumbest decisions. Along with everyone else Eneru “killed”. It makes no damn sense that Eneru couldn’t kill a feeble old man. Pagaya does nothing interesting or impactful after his “death”
Skypiea embodies the core themes of One Piece, and should not be skipped!
38:20–38:37 You’re wrong about paramecia. There are 3 classifications of devil fruits. Logia are people who turn into some sort of element and can become intangible or essentially invincible like Crocodile, Smoker, Ace, and Eneru. They’re the rarest and usually strongest types of devil fruits. Zoan are devil fruits that turn you into animals like Chopper, Dalton, and Pell and give you 3 forms to choose from; your natural form, hybrid form, and beast form (Chopper is a doctor who experimented with his fruit’s abilities and is an exception to the 3 form rule), paramecia/paramythia is just everything else that doesn’t fit into the Zoan or Logia categories and is the most common and includes people like Buggy, Luffy, Bellamy, and Mr. 5.

Gg ez
Nolan D Liar RIP
Crazy how you predict things without knowing it
Hope spoilers stay away from you because I would love to see your pov of luffys growth in the story and how you’ll analysis it when you hopefully eventually catch up
The last thing you said “what the hell happen to dragon” I chuckled .
One Piece is a happy and idolistic story but the world of One Piece is a brutal and uncaring place. I did think it was messed up of Nolan to report back on the city of Gold he would have got them colonized and all the horrors that brings although it was probably too big of a story to keep quiet so idk
such a great flashback. "Are you that afraid of the gods?!"
is there a way we can get this on podcast formats?
#AJPiece I'm so glad you liked the Sky Island story, it's my favorite arc personally, I just love the themes and structure. Eneru is one of my favorite villains, and it's not just because of his cool power (restarting his own heart is so raw). Eneru is, I think, a great contrast to a number of previous villains (and maybe some future ones). You've noted how so many of the adversaries we've encountered so far are fountains of cynicism, from East Blue to Baroque Works to Jaya, but Eneru is different. He is not cynical, he does not mock the dreamers, because he himself has his dream, to reach his mythical Endless Vearth. He does not look down on the people around him because they have stupid ideas, like Bellamy did in Jaya, but instead it seems to me like it's the opposite, that he looks down on the simple people, the regular populace because they DON'T have dreams. Remember, he was totally willing to have the five last contestants join him on his journey, it was not supposed to be a one-man trip. He treats his opponents with more respect than he does his subjects, because at least his enemies are putting themselves out there. I think this represents the sort of opposite of what Bellamy was, which was the negativity of denying the dream. Eneru shows, in my view, the potential for destruction that big dreams can have, the chaos which can be left in its wake. The difference between Eneru and Luffy is not that Eneru lacks the dream or drive (like Bellamy). The difference is that Eneru lacks the humanity, the care and compassion and empathy which has allowed the Crew's dreams to have a positive impact. But then, of course that's the difference — Eneru is a kami, not a human, as he is so eager to remind us.
700 chapters later we are still waiting to find out what the will of D is although we've found out hints and it feels close.
Wonderful analysis as usual. This arc has maybe the best ending out of all of them so it was super satisfying to hear you gush about it. Also I'm so glad to hear that you will be covering the G8 Arc and Movie 6

everyone is pouring themselves ..
begging for luffy to do this ..
and luffy takes all the responsibility on his shoulders ..
then grins …
what a beautiful words ..
a great pirate once said:
someone someday will come carrying the history of all those centuries on his back and challenge the whole word to a fight ..
see any similarities ?????
I hope you do the G8 arc. It may be filler but it’s a great story
Great video / review of the arc as usual i cant wait to see you read the rest of the story (and ty for the ff14 ost in the back i love it)
