King Cobra Kai [One Piece 1084]

Watch out for falling lore!

King Nefeltari Cobra fed us hungry One Piece nerds well this chapter. No Void Century information, of course (probably get that on Laugh Tale), but we get a little more info about the formation of the World Government 800 years ago. My question is: Why is Cobra Commander bringing this up now? Sure, there’s definitely something fishy going on given what he knows about the beginnings of the WG, but what’s motivating him to confront the Elder Stars? Could his declining health put him in a do or die mental state in regards to learning the truth before dying? Could Monkey D. Luffy’s actions be another? Hmm…

Here’s another question: Who are the Elder Stars? If the 19 Celestial Dragon families are supposed to be equal, aren’t having five CDs ruling the World Government a direct violation of that rule? That is IF they’re Celestial Dragons at all. The Elder Stars’ backstory must be linked to very formation of the World Government. I wonder if we’ll at least get more on their origin during the flashback. Especially, with Saint Saturn on his way to Egghead.

Better Late Than Never [My Hero Academia 389]

He’s here. Heat sphere. Get used to it!

Um…Shoto finally arrived at Gunga. Wait… I think he’s still on his way there.

The End.

Not My Celestial Dragons [One Piece 1083]

Demolish the Celestial Monarchy! We want a democracy!

Things are heating up between the World Government and Revolutionary Army. The R.A. destroying the Celestial Dragons’ food supply while declaring war is a smart move. Just giving those elitist, tax exempt bastards a taste of wanting for bare necessities is something short of impossible without some of the strongest Revolutionaries working together. And good on them for freeing as many slaves as they can too! Where’s their Nobel Prize, huh?

We get confirmation Jabra and the rest of Lucci’s CP9 crew we haven’t seen lately are also members of CP0. Not sure why they’re there. They’re just standing around giving commentary. That’s what happens sometimes. Someone gets promoted and they do as little work as possible. Cipher Pol bastards!

I didn’t know Lindsay Lohan was a Celestial Dragon

The Family That Burns Together Learns Together [My Hero Academia 388]

Why is this chapter only 10 pages? Easy, Dabi burned the rest.

If we’re heading towards the conclusion of The Todoroki Family Drama Show, it makes sense the entire family is here. Well, not Shoto, but he’s on his way and is bringing the climax with him.

Oh, no! The Todoroki Family’s trapped in a chapter of Bleach!

F Is For Family (and Fire) [My Hero Academia 387]

Oh, Hi Mr. Compress!

It’s been awhile. A shame one of the League of Villains is spending the final arc doing nothing. Well, at least we have confirmation Geten is a distant relative of Rei’s. Now we know why Rei’s dad sold her off like a smelly used leather jacket. Very insightful. I’m so happy that plot hole was—Oh, who am I kidding? The Geten and Mr. Compress scene was just an excuse to explain how Rei’s ice quirk could have any effect on a superheated Dabi.

If you think this is bad, wait until Natsu brings his heteromorph girlfriend home for dinner next week.

Insane Clown Guild Posse [One Piece 1082]

I guess Buggy’s Cross Guild really is becoming a Warlord crew.

Cross Guild needs heavy hitters if it wants to compete against Shanks, Blackbeard, and Luffy’s crews’ in reaching Laugh Tale first. Not to say Buggy, Sir Crocodile and Mihawk aren’t already a powerful “team” but Oda’s seems to be setting up all the major pirates to be in the race for One Piece, either still in the running or failing to achieve it. Gecko Moria’s given. He’s got nowhere else to go. I was hesitant about Boa Hancock joining but if Crocodile wants to establish a nation where they’re safe from the World Government then I can see the Snake Princess joining for that reason. Edward Weevil’s a wildcard. Especially since he’s been captured by the Navy, but who knows? If he escapes his travels could lead him to Cross Guild.

Silly Buggy. You can achieve the same amount of money and power by becoming a YouTube influencer.
