Which Evos/Heroes are good and which are bad? IMO, Evo Mega Knight is pretty bad. Maybe Supercell was afraid to actually give Evo Mega Knight a buff due to its use rate.

Bonus Question:

• Evo Firecracker

• Hero Giant

• Evo Wizard

• Hero Wizard

• Evo Bats

Which ones are good, and which ones are bad?

This part in Chapter 1194 has been such a disaster for One Piece fans. I can't believe it. It's like they just throw every single statement about Conqueror's Haki from past chapters out.

Some people say Oda retconned Conqueror's Haki, some say users do not really need to want to be a king. Some like Mihawk's explanation and say it's better than any other explanation. Some even claim that Conqueror's Haki is now available for everyone.

No, you can't just believe in yourself. No, you can't just be yourself. I don't know why people like this interpretation so much (I have my guess, but it's not Reddit-friendly, let's just say that).

It has been established about Supreme King Haki:

• You must have a desire to be a king to unlock it
• Not everyone can have it

The "sense of self" that Mihawk was talking about refers to wanting to be a king. Your desire to be a king must be purely from yourself and it must be strong and unwavering.

• Personally, I have never believed that you have to be born with the ability to unlock Conqueror's Haki. Not everyone can have it, but the wall is not genetics.

Alright, that's it. See ya.

P.S. I don't hate Syv or any One Piece YouTuber. Also, >!he's a fellow "Yamato for nakama" believer!<, so I just can't hate him.

This image is enough proof that they are 100% NOT dead and will come back later, hopefully as an ally.

Stop debating about this. It's clear cut.

When I first saw Luffy's Gum-Gum Red Hawk move, I asked myself "Why can Luffy use fire powers? Isn't he rubber?". When I was reading the Wano arc, I wondered, why does the Sun God not have sun powers? Why are the Gum-Gum Red moves the best thing Luffy can do with fire/sun?

Yes, the gods do have their stereotypical powers. The Elbaph arc proves that >!the Rain Goddess has rain powers!< . People have also been theorizing that Blackbeard is the Earth God (which I agree with) and he has Earth powers. That's why I find it really peculiar that the Sun God does not have any sun powers.

So I did some research, and I concocted an insane theory: The Flame-Flame fruit is the Sun God's lost sun powers.

A quote from the harley text in Chapter 1138 says:

>...Man killed the sun and became god...

What I find intriguing is the fact that it's "Man killed the sun" and not "Man killed the Sun God".

I'll continue by presenting another quote:

>...The sun god dances and laughs and brings the world to its end. The sun returns and brings a new morning...

What's interesting in this quote is the clause choice of "the sun returns".

If the next interpretation is accurate, then the Gum-Gum fruit is the husk of the Sun God, stripped of his sun powers. In the Second World, a man took away the Sun God's sun powers, hence "Man killed the sun". This would explain why Luffy could use his Gum-Gum Red moves, as that's the tiny bit of the sun power the Sun God has left. In the Third World, the Sun God will regain his lost sun powers, hence "The sun returns". This is why I believe that Luffy will gain a second Devil Fruit power: The Flame-Flame fruit.

One curiosity that I have about Gear 5 is how it's white in color. I know the color white can mean innocence and purity (which can mean freedom), but the color white can also mean emptiness, or absence (of power, perhaps).

I also have a suspicion that The Flame-Flame fruit might have a will of its own. This is because of the fact that the only users of the Flame-Flame fruit (that we know of) are close to the Sun God, implying that it is the fruit's way of getting closer to the Sun God. In Dressrosa, the Flame-Flame fruit could've been eaten by anyone, but it got eaten by Sabo, anyway. It has been established that a Devil Fruit can have a will of its own. Now, the one that has been explicitly stated to have a will is a Mythical Zoan fruit, but, I believe a Logia Devil Fruit can have a will of its own, as well, proven by the Dark-Dark fruit.

An extra flavor of foreshadowing before I move on, Blackbeard said during his battle with Ace "The Sun? or the Darkness? Only one of us will win!". The Sun, NOT the Fire.

Now, you might have this question or concern:

>The Flame-Flame fruit is cool and all. But it has been established that it's not very strong. It loses to the Mag-Mag fruit, and it also loses to the Dark-Dark fruit. Would it really be a meaningful powerup for Luffy?

Remember that not everything is as it seems. For example, perhaps only the Sun God can use the power of the sun to its fullest. This might explain why when in Ace's and Sabo's hands, the Flame-Flame fruit did/does not seem to be that powerful. We all know that the sun's fire is much hotter than even magma, so if the Flame-Flame fruit's true power is the power of the sun, it should easily be stronger than the Mag-Mag fruit. It has been established that the World Government does hide the Devil Fruits' true nature. One of the ways is by giving the fruits fake names.

You might have this pushback, as well:

>You cannot have more than 1 Devil Fruit power.

The "You cannot have more than 1 Devil Fruit power" rule is not a rule that's absolute and cannot be broken in any way. A precedent has been established by none other than Blackbeard that yes, one can have more than 1 Devil Fruit power. Now, this definitely does not apply to everyone, but Luffy is not a regular person.

Like Blackbeard, Luffy has also been established to have a weird body. Ivankov commented about how Luffy surviving the poison in record time was "more than a miracle".

Speaking of, this theory implies that Sabo will die (for real) in the future. To be fair, Oda can think of an excuse for the Flame-Flame fruit's power to be transferred to Luffy without Sabo dying, but I personally think Oda won't do that. I can be wrong though, but if I'm right, I like how the Flame-Flame fruit represents Luffy's brothers' will being inherited by Luffy.

Oda does a segment in the SBS that I describe as "How someone would look like in the future", where Oda draws someone in their 40s and 60s (50s/60s and 70s/80s if that person is too close to being or has passed 40).

This looks like nothing but wholesome at first. However, this segment has deeper secrets. What's curious about this segment is who Oda chose to draw so far. Here are they:

1. Ace

2. Luffy

3. Sabo

4. Zoro

5. Nami

6. Usopp

7. Chopper

8. Sanji

9. Robin

10. Franky

11. Brook

12. Jimbei

13. Vivi

Notice the pattern. Most of the characters drawn are Straw Hats (and they're in order, except for Sanji and Chopper, but that's probably because of a joke if you read a certain SBS request about it). The only ones who are not Straw Hats are Luffy's brothers. A lot of people, including the Wiki, consider Vivi a Straw Hat, either full-fledged or honorary.

Okay, I lied. Those are not the only characters. There is one more, and that's Yamato. That's right, Yamato will be the next Straw Hat.

Don't kid yourself. They are not the only characters that people request Oda to draw. Oda definitely gets requests to draw all sorts of One Piece characters. However, Oda only chose to draw those. Side note: Oda did not draw Carrot.

Understand this: Oda did not draw Shanks. That's how carefully Oda chose the characters to draw in this segment.

I find this trope annoying in One Piece. There are two items that this trope is applied to: Sea Prism Stone and Ponegliff (Poneglyph).

The first one is less lore-changing, but is significantly more ridiculous.

• In the introduction to Sea Prism Stone, we are told that it's basically the sea in solid form, meaning it can block Devil Fruit powers. Makes sense.
• However, I think it's established in Marineford that the Sea Prism Stone cannot be destroyed, like what? What do you mean it cannot be destroyed? I can buy it not being able to be destroyed by Devil Fruit powers, but otherwise, it's just a stone.
• The next lore drop about this is what pissed me off. Somehow, the Sea Prism Stone also blocks Haki. It blocks everything and it cannot be destroyed. How convenient. I expected a 7-year old to write something like this.
  • The thing is, this can be mitigated (not fully solved. I still think it would be convenient). Just introduce another plot device that can block Haki, and have both attached to a cuff or something.

The next one is extremely plot-relevant.

• I feel like making it indestructible is a cheap way to "explain" why Imu didn't just destroy the Ponegliffs. Well, here's the thing.
• First, the Ponegliff stones (metals) can be carved onto. So, it can't be that indestructible. Also, are you telling me that these island-destroyer characters cannot even put a scratch on them?
• Second, there are still lots of ways to get rid of the ponegliffs, especially since they can be moved. The easiest way is to just keep one in the Room of Flowers. Another way is to bury one meters deep under the sand at the bottom of the sea. Maybe drop one into volcanoes or propel one to the moon.

I have a suspicion that Oda is hiding Yoru (Mihawk's black blade)'s true nature. The databooks listed Yoru as a Supreme-grade sword, but I think that's misleading, or at least that's not the full story. I just can't really buy him being the strongest swordsman with just an Excellent-turned-Supreme-grade blade.

It has been established that there ARE non-black Supreme-grade swords in the world. Whitebeard's sword-glaive and Fujitora's sword are some of the examples. Another established fact is that turning a blade black increases its rank. Meaning, those swords will become stronger than Yoru if they're turned black (maybe temporarily, using Armament Haki).

I think Yoru was a Supreme-grade blade before it turned black. This means Mihawk has the only sword in the world whose rank is higher than Supreme.

This brings us to Zoro. I'll just say the theory directly up front: I believe Zoro will replace Enma and Kitetsu III with 2 Supreme-grade swords. How? I don't know, but my theory is by having a blacksmith forge 2 new Supreme-grade swords for him (and maybe upgrade Wado Ichimonji to Supreme-grade, as well, since Zoro won't replace it).

Zoro is not just going to be a swordsman. He's aiming to be the greatest swordsman. Therefore, the ranks of his swords matter. Having new swords forged for him also fits very well with the idea that the greatest swordsman does not use someone else's swords.

When will this happen? Probably not this arc. But I believe it will probably happen close to the Final War arc.

Spoilers for the entirety of Naruto.

If you know about this, DO NOT HARASS ANYONE INVOLVED. I DO NOT CONDONE HARASSMENT.

This is easily the worst Naruto video of all time, and I don't think it can ever be topped. The biggest problem is not the video itself, but how damaging the video has been to the Naruto franchise. This may have been the most blow Naruto has ever gotten. This is worse than >!Black Zetsu betraying Madara!<. That's how damaging this has been.

The ultimate point that people got from this is "Neji was right", basically implying that Naruto is at odds with its message of the underdog. Except that that has never been what Naruto is about. Literally Chapter 1 of Naruto said "See this monster? See this kid? This kid has the power of this monster inside him". What kind of underdog has the power of a monster inside him?

Naruto is about having determination, doing your best despite the odds, and Naruto has never betrayed this. One implementation of this is shattering fate. AT THE TIME, Naruto was fated to lose to Neji. Literally all common sense points to Neji winning the battle. Hagoromo would not have saved Naruto. Naruto would have actually died had he got defeated here. But Naruto still tried. Another example being Naruto shattered the fate of world peace being impossible. Even until the very end, he shattered the fate of Ashura and Indra reincarnations always fighting each other to the death.

• Side Note: Hagoromo has never saved Naruto. He gave Naruto and Sasuke power, but he did not save them from death.

I won't get too long on this, because there are multiple videos debunking the slander in great detail that you can watch. Yes, multiple good videos were made utterly debunking the slander of this video, and yet a lot of people, maybe most people, still believe the message of this video. The creator literally started the video with "I don't know much about Naruto", and yet people still ate this shit up, proving that people only hear what they want to hear.

Naruto has flaws and is not a perfect series, just like the rest of the Big 3, despite what some One Piece fans say. But, Naruto probably got slandered the most out of the Big 3. I remember another video that has "STEALTHY AS F#CK" in the thumbnail, implying that Naruto destroys its worldbuilding of stealthy ninjas. Except that literally Chapter 1 of Naruto showed a massive demon fox monster that could crumble mountains and cause tsunamis, and the fact that one person was strong enough that he could fight and seal such monster. Naruto has never been about stereotypical ninjas, just like One Piece has never been about stereotypical pirates, just like Bleach has never been about stereotypical soul reapers.

>Why do the Straw Hats still have bounties at the end?

The answer is because the Marines will still exist even at the end of One Piece. I don't know why people believe that there won't be any bounty system. There will still be bad pirates, even after Luffy becomes the Pirate King. The world will still need the Marines.

That said, while the Straw Hats will still have bounties, I believe their bounties will be frozen as a special reward for saving the world (?). So, here's what I think the Straw Hats' bounties will be at the end of One Piece. Side note: I believe all of them will be in the billions.

1. Luffy - 5.6B berries
   • This is nothing new. A lot of people predict that Luffy's bounty will be this much, and I agree. Two reasons, one, it's higher than Roger's bounty, and two, it's 5-6 (Go-Mu).
2. Zoro - 3.6B berries
   • Slightly higher than Mihawk's bounty. I personally do not think Zoro's bounty will be any higher than this, because a captain typically has a significant gap in bounty, even compared to his first mate.
3. Sanji - 3.3B berries
   • 10 times one of his previous bounties of 330M and slightly lower than Zoro's.
4. Usopp - 2.5B berries
   • I do believe Usopp's bounty will be even higher than Jinbe's. I have high hopes for Usopp, as one of the only 3 Straw Hats whose dreams are power-based.
5. Jinbe - 2.3B berries
   • 10 times Fisher Tiger's last bounty. Fitting.
6. Franky - 1.994B berries
   • I believe Oda will keep Franky's gag about his bounty being 6M short of a milestone, so 1.994B.
7. Brook - 1.983B berries
   • Same as Franky. Brook's gag about his bounty being 17M short of a milestone will still be kept.
8. Robin - 1.3B berries
   • I personally believe that Robin's bounty is only that high (930M) because of her ability to read the ponegliffs. At the end of One Piece, that will not be needed anymore. So, I believe Robin's bounty will not skyrocket that much. I can totally be very wrong in this, as this is the one that I'm not that certain about.
9. Nami - 1.066B berries
   • Same kept gag about her bounty ending in 6M or 66M.
10. Chopper - 1B berries

• Chopper's bounty will entirely depend on whether or not Oda will keep Chopper's comically low bounty gag. If yes, then Chopper's bounty will be 10K. However, I have a feeling that Oda will give this poor "medicine merchant" a break, though not fully, as I believe Chopper's bounty should be in the range of 1.5B to 2B.

Some important notes before the rewrite:

1. OBVIOUSLY spoilers for the entire story of the Arc-V anime.
2. This will NOT be a fanfic. Believe me, I do not like fanfics. This will only consist of rough (plot) points.
3. I will follow the same "restrictions" the writers had, like:
   • 150 maximum episodes
   • A "rumor" that someone demanded the inclusion of legacy Yu-Gi-Oh characters mid-show
   • Same Z-Arc and Ray plot
4. I do not claim to be a perfect writer. So please just chill in the comments.

Now, to the rewrite of the structure of the anime:

• All 4 worlds should be explored at the same amount of length. So, I think Arc-V should drop the 50 episodes/arc structure and instead implement a shorter 35-37 episodes/arc structure. The flow is, from the Pendulum arc, to the Synchro arc, to the Xyz arc, and finally, to the Fusion arc (the same as the canon).
• Considering Arc-V's ambitious story, I think it should remove most of the slice-of-life episodes and focus more on the dark story.
• Action Duels and Interrupting duels should be reworked. Here are my rework suggestions:
  • Interrupting duels should not interrupt the current flow of the duel. If P3 joins P2 vs P1 and it's now P2's turn, P3's turn will be after P1's turn.
  • Interrupting duels do not have a 2000 LP penalty. This sounds ridiculous, but it will make sense after I explain the Action Duel.
  • Action Duel changes:
    • No negative action cards
    • Action cards can be Spell (Normal or Quick-Play) or Trap (Normal or Counter) cards, Action Trap cards must be Set before use like the usual Trap cards.
    • Each player can (and probably should) take a card(s) once per turn, anytime during their turn, but only during their turn (no taking Action cards during the opponent's turn).
    • Which player can take cards and how many: 1v1: Both players can take 1 card each per turn, 1vN: Only the disadvantaged player can take N-1 cards per turn (the player will get multiple Action cards at once when they take an Action card)
• Every bracelet girl should have powers, not just Yuzu.
  • Serena: Can locate where each Yu-boy is (not exact location, only in what dimension)
  • Ruri: Can locate where each bracelet girl is (not exact location, only in what dimension)
  • Rin: Warns the other bracelet girls (vaguely, by making their bracelets pulse) if 2 or more Yu-boys are close to each other

The rewrite of the Pendulum arc:

• Yuya starts as a decently capable duelist, like his counterparts. This means no training episodes other than the Pendulum/Synchro/Xyz/Fusion Summon training.
• The series starts almost immediately (try Episode 3) with Yuto going to the Pendulum dimension plot, then the tournament.
• Yuya should not merge with Yuto in this arc. They should stay separated until the Xyz arc. Also, Yugo does not go to the Pendulum dimension.
• Ruri gets captured first (This will explain why Yuto goes to the Pendulum dimension). Rin, Serena, and Yuzu stay uncaptured in this arc.
• Yuya duels Yuri and is losing, when Yuzu comes and teleports Yuri away.
• They (including Yuzu and Serena) go to the Synchro dimension because Reggie (Reiji) wants to recruit people there.
• Yuto and Shun want to join, but Yuzu unknowingly teleports Yuto to the Xyz dimension, and Serena tells Shun that Yuto is in the Xyz dimension.

The rewrite of the Synchro arc:

• Rin gets some screen time.
• The story immediately goes to the tournament. I actually do not hate the canon story about the tournament, so they can keep it like that.
• Sometime close to the end of the arc, Serena gets captured by Yuri.

The rewrite of the Xyz arc:

• Okay, so I actually am completely lost on what to add to the Xyz arc to justify the 35 episodes length. You can tell what you can think up in the comments. Maybe have Leo Akaba do something threatening here. Also maybe give Ruri some screen time.
• Yuto duels Yuri in this arc and loses. But, just before Yuto merges with Yuri, Yuya arrives, so Yuto somehow merges with Yuya, instead. Yuya then duels and destroys Yuri, but Yuri manages to escape before he fully loses.
• After that, at the end of this arc, Yuri goes to the Synchro dimension and captures Rin.

The rewrite of the Fusion arc:

• Yuzu gets separated from the group, fights the 3 mind-controlled bracelet girls (not at once, start with Serena, then Ruri joins, then Rin joins), loses, and gets captured.
• Yugo goes to the Fusion dimension to find Rin. Yuri then challenges Yugo to a duel and wins. No Aster or Kite or anyone interrupting the duel. The duel should be a full-on 1v1 duel.
• No Battle Beast.
• I don't mind the canon duel of Yuya/Yuto vs Ruri and Serena, but it can be rearranged. Maybe Yuya/Yuto vs all 4 bracelet girls at once? That sounds awesome.
• The rest until Z-Arc vs Everyone stays almost the same as the canon. Maybe allow Alexis to join the vs Z-Arc duel? It would be interesting to see how she would fare against Z-Arc, since Ritual is not covered by Z-Arc's protections.
• I don't know how, but in the end, the Yu-boys and the bracelet girls should be separated.

I think the game is really good. My favorite part of the game is that you get your own special ace Bakugan, and the ace Bakugan is not only not lame, but also really cool. Leonidas has a great design (even better as Omega Leonidas). It starts slow, as the first Bakugan battlefield is just plain boring and you need to finish a whole tournament in it. This is probably where most people drop the game. However, after that, the element-based battlefields are all really awesome, easily the second-best part of the game to me. You don't just throw your Bakugan and that's it. You can travel with your Bakugan and make them stronger when they land on a Gate Card. The battle feels amazing at first, but it gets stale a bit quickly. The game is also not hard, as the enemies are rather bad when it comes to utilizing the battlefield and the mechanics (like Sphere Attacks), and controlling the Bakugan.

This is my final Pyrus run deck. I always use this exact deck whenever I do a Pyrus run. I use Preyas Diablo instead of Fortress because I just don't like using the Alternate 5 (Chan Lee, Klaus, Komba, Billy, Julio)'s aces. I want to try Darkus and Subterra runs next. I'm a bit nervous because I have NEVER done any run using an element other than Pyrus, and that's because the (Omega) Leonidas Gate Card has different G-Power boosts for different elements, and only Pyrus gets the biggest number from both cards.

What do you think of this game? You can also share your run deck or experience, as well.

I have 5 ideas on how I would rework Debt. I personally do not like that you can pay off the curse without removing it.

1. The first is by significantly reducing the Gold loss of Debt in exchange of giving it Eternal. This is the least punishing early on. However, this can completely eat up your Gold if your deck can't handle the curse well.
2. The second is to implement a percentage-based increment to Debt. This means you can remove it, and the disadvantage is significantly lessened in the early game, but it can destroy you if you don't remove it immediately.
3. The third is a variation of the second, but it is a bit more punishing. The reason I have this one is because the second's mechanics feel awkward (increasing by 50% is a bit awkward IMO).
4. The fourth is a much simpler nerf, by reducing the number to 5.
5. The fifth is another simple nerf, by adding Ethereal. This is better earlier on and in Elite/Boss fights than the fourth (where you typically shuffle your deck multiple times), but it is worse if you can end a battle in 2 to 3 turns.

What do you think?

Spoilers for the Fullbring arc.

No seriously, what happened?

>!At the end of the Fullbring arc, Ginjo joins the villains and absorbs Ichigo's Fullbring power!< . Yet, in the TYBW arc, Yhwach implies that Ichigo has his Fullbring powers.

>!Ginjo implies that Ichigo still has his Fullbring powers, as well.!<

So, what happened? How much Fullbring power does Ichigo have? >!Is the Fullbring power that Ginjo absorbed gone permanently, or is it something that can be recovered?!<

100% Late 2027. The leakers are correct.
