The Enhancers’ Adventure Starts Here

Here it is! The very first chapter of my story: The Enhancers: Never Fight Friends Alone! Be the first person in your neighborhood to read the greatest story about four kids with power bracelets trying to protect their home, Aquamarine City. Well, maybe, not “protect”, but they do live there. Hey! I never said they were heroes.

Chapter One: Trespassers

One Piece Toilet Paper #2 Best Selling Item Of 2024 [2D News]

One Piece, the popular manga and anime, sells all sorts of merchandise from figurines to sunglasses to school supplies. Surprisingly, the second most popular One Piece merchandise—One Piece t-shirts are the number one best selling product—aren’t posters, toys, or school supplies, but the official One Piece toilet paper.

For those who don’t know, last year One Piece debuted a line of Villain Rolls for fans to express their hated for certain One Piece baddies by giving them the skid mark special, so to speak. Those unfortunate characters with their faces on toilet paper sheets include Buggy the Clown, Wet-Haired Caribou, Jack the Drought, and Arlong the Saw. This year, Rob Lucci, Hordy Jones, and Saint Charlos were added to the popular brand for the sole purpose of being crapped on with future plans for Blackbeard, Sir Crocodile, and Magellan (More of an antagonist than a villain but we get where they’re going with this choice.) to receive their own tissue rolls for “fans” to give them the ultimate mud pie salute.

With demand so high, it was only a matter of time before a new set would be announced. Rival Rolls will be, well, rolling into stores sometime this summer. This set will feature rival characters One Piece fans constantly pit against each other such as Zoro, Sanji, Dracule Mihawk, and “Red-Haired” Shanks.

One Sanji superfan already has plans to camp out at the One Piece Mugiwara Store in Tokyo, Japan the night before release day and has already began eating a diet consisting mostly of artichokes, prunes, and various bean casseroles stating “Instead of a black blade, Zoro’s getting the brown blade he deserves.” He further added, “Yes, I do have a girlfriend.” When pressed for more information, the Sanji fanboy wouldn’t give us her name or any other proof she exists.

Disney Fighting Game Begins Alpha Stage Testing [2D News]

A lucky few will soon begin play testing a Disney game no one imagined would ever be made. Arc System Works—the Japanese video game development company behind many popular fighting games such as Dragon Ball Fighterz and Guilty Gear Xrd—are in the process of sending invite keys to its official Disney 2.5D fighting game.

While not much is known about the game (labeled Project Tinkerbell until an official name is released) other than it supposedly being a 3v3 fighting game, a leaker on a popular fighting game forum confirmed six playable characters in the alpha test build: The Beast (Beauty and the Beast), Cruella De Vil (One Hundred and One Dalmatians), Peter Pan (Peter Pan), Snow White (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs), Baloo (The Jungle Book), and Queen of Hearts (Alice in Wonderland).

That same leaker also revealed the names of other characters in Project Tinkerbell’s roster including Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty), Merlin (The Sword in the Stone), Rabbit (Winnie the Pooh), and Dopey (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs).

When asked about the rumored roster, including hopefully adding fan favorites such as Ursula the sea witch (The Little Mermaid) and Bruno Madrigal (Encanto), a Disney representative regretfully commented, “We don’t talk about Bruno.”

Weather Or Not You Believe Me Is Up To You [One Piece 1113]

There’s bad news and then there’s BAD news. Dr. Vegapunk just gave the entire world an excuse to crap their pants at the same time.

That’s right, dear friends. The water level is rising all over the world and it will eventually flood every island in the world! Well, except for Fishman Island… and all the sky islands. And, conveniently, Mary Geoise. Hmm… Is flooding the world Team Imu’s endgame?

Sure, at first I thought, King Imu & The Old Dirty Bastards wanted the Mother Flame just to power Uranus so they can destroy the non-World Government islands and keep absolute power over the rest out of fear via Star Wars‘ evil Empire. But. That’s. Not. Evil. Enough.

Which one of you jerks forgot to turn off the garden hose?

One Piece is a Shonen series and Shonen manga looove mega evil final villains. Destroying the world is the bare minimum requirement for a Shonen final boss. Plus—you know—the Five Elders and Imu aren’t exactly fond of their subjects. They’re all insects to them and Uranus is their big bug zapper from hell.

To Me, My Heroes [My Hero Academia 421]

Previously, on My Hero Academia.

Deku lost the Phoenix Force—erm—One For All and every available hero in the country began assembling to defeat All For One once and for all.

In this chapter, we learn the One For All quirk is still gone. Looks like Eri hadn’t stored up enough energy to bring it back. Rogue’s But, just like with All Might, embers of the overpowered quirk still reside inside Deku. Good on you, Horikoshi. I hadn’t thought of that. In a way, it’s similar to All Might and AFO’s Kamino fight in which the other heroes helped out where they could, but ultimately, it was All Might who delivered the final blow.

The second you take your freshly homemade pizza out the oven

With no civilians in the area, all the heroes can focus solely on jumping AFO. That’s how they do it in Japan, mofos! Still, it’s clear the heroes are in need of Deku and good tactics like Space Hero: Thirteen distracting AFO with her Black Hole (You heard me.) long enough for other heroes to attack. Give me more of that please, Horikoshi, mein Freund.

Bluey Anime Currently In Development [2D News]

The hit children’s show made for preschoolers, Bluey, is getting an anime adaption. According to the press release, this new version of Bluey stars the Heeler family happily living in Japan (not Australia where the original series takes place) where Bluey’s archaeologist dad, Bandit, finds an ancient gemstone that radiates imagination energy. Soon after, a space armada attacks looking to steal all the imagination from Earth’s inhabitants in order to power their military forces.

Transformers/G.I. Joe Crossover Movie Producer In Talks To Add GoBots [2D News]

A challenge, but not impossible. Transformers/G.I. Joe Movie producer, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, is in early talks to include characters from the 80’s cartoon, Challenge of the Go-Bots, alongside its toyetic peers on the big screen.

The Great Escape [One Piece 1112]

Five old men, one admiral, and a ton of fodder are determined to keep the Straw Hat Crew from escaping. Welcome to One Piece, Chapter 1112. But first, a message from our sponsor.

We get what I believe is our first look inside Punk Records. The transmission transponder snail broadcasting the worldwide message is inside… along with something else. With only one minute until Dr. Vegapunk snitches on the World Government—what could St. Mars be looking at? Well, I’m assuming that something is gonna prevent him from destroying the snail. Maybe another Vegapunk Satellite about the hatch from its tank? But, if so, how could they keep Mars from destroying the snail? Hmm…

We know all of the Straw Hats are making it out, but what about their allies? Stussy stayed behind to lower the Frontier Dome at the right moment to allow the others in Labophase to escape. Is she doomed? Well, if she has the strength to fly off the island with her bat powers, then no. But that’s also assuming she can do it undetected. Hope your life insurance is paid, Stussy.

P. Diddy Wants To Party With One Piece Live Action Cast [2D News]

Famed rap mogul and hip-hop legend, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs—who’s currently being accused of numerous illegal activities and workplace misconduct—has expressed interest in meeting the cast of the hit live action Netflix series, One Piece.

People close to the millionaire record producer have gone on record to say he’s watched the entire first season more than once and has expressed “a great desire” in having all five members of the Straw Hat Crew cast over to one of his luxurious homes for a congratulations party on their newfound success.

Japan Lawmakers Ban Isekai Anime For One Year [2D News]

Japan’s Government will soon pass a law banning the release of new isekai media in the country for one year.

Anime and manga fans will know isekai (a genre where someone is transported, reborn, or otherwise placed in a different world or universe, usually with a fantasy setting) have become all the rage over the years, to the point where its completely oversaturated anime and manga markets all over the world.

AFO Wants All The Smoke [My Hero Academia 420]

That was fast.

I was totally prepared for at least four chapters of flashbacks before getting back to the present. You can’t blame me, right? With the Aizawa/Yamada/Shirakumo drama plus the Gashly battle, I was sure Horikoshi was gonna pay off those plotlines with good action, character development, and drama.

Nope!

Shirakumo AKA Kurogiri just sorta snapped out of it and instantly became Hero Uber, while Team Sero’s fight against Gashly was wrapped up OFF-SCREEN. Gashly was a Tartarus villain! You know, one of the most dangerous villains in Japan. If all of this isn’t a sign that Horikoshi is rushing towards the finish line, I don’t know what is.

X-Men? I thought you said ask Min. You know, like, ask Mineta to help us out.
