In Chapter 2 Oda talks about the Jolly Roger possibly going back to the term "Old Roger" refering to the Devil. This is obviously interesting since a major antagonist of One Piece is the Devil and he features a symbol with 2 crossed femur bones on his cape. Though it looks very minimalistic compared to actual Jolly Rogers.

There might be a parallel here where a possible origin of the Jolly Roger in the real world is a term for the Devil and in the One Piece world the origin of the Jolly Roger could possibly be a mark of the devil. It is possible that the Jolly Rogers of modern times are based on Imu's symbol (Could be a mockery of his symbol started by Joy Boy)

(This post is not saying Oda foreskinned the Devil being a main antagonist in Chapter 2)

(From my memory this is the same amount of quests as last weeks map)

Having the old veteran/mentor with the scar over the left eye, the black haired edgelord on a revenge quest for his dead clan, violent pink haired girl with green eyes and the main guy is a dreamer with blonde hair.

Obviously their characters are likely quite different and the inspiration is a bit more loose (Especially for the main character) from Team 7 but I couldn't help noticing the similar structure of the group.

Like the hair and "Snake Clan" being murdered and he seeks revenge feels so blatent that I can't help but feel like it's supposed to be a parody of the character archtype that Sasuke represents.

I think this is a great step though obtaining the "Tokyo Tiger" title is still quite the challenge for the employed players due to the expiration of the dailies and needing to play 6-7 (lol funny number amirite) on average to hit those 10 games.

Why does Ordis think he is making the executive decisions now? When some eternalism/ Wally shenanigans pop off he's gotta tell the Operator and then the Operator decides if it's important enough to drop their current stuff. Not some "Yeah me and Umbra can handle this" bs.

Hunhow losing his memory will have dire consequences when we wanna go to Tau and when it does Ordis will have to put on his new thinking cap to figure out how to solve the issue or he is out.

(Likely in a total amount of 36 games)

I ask because with the blue hair and Imu's obsession with Lily the rumors have obviously been that Shuri and Vivi are supposed to be similar. So is this a callback to draw another similarity or just a general cultural thing? Do the other princesses like Shirahoshi and Rebecca also do this? I don't remember.

When Brook is introduced he has no manners. He farts openly, is impatient at the dinner table, doesn't try to cover when picking his teeth and lastly he asks to see women's panties. You can suspend your disbelief and accept that all of this is because he hasn't been in society for 50 years and then from there on the panties thing is the main extension of that gag.

However now we got the confirmation that he is just a perv and has always done this. Making it obvious why Gunko only wears panties but also makes that feel much more uncomfortable.

There is nothing weird about any of this interaction. It's a comedy bit. Young girl proposes marriage to role model -> Dad is crying because he isn't her role model (He is right in the stereotypical setup the daughter asks her father or older brother to marry her) -> Role model turns her down -> Dad gets mad because his daughter is his princess and a man turning her down is outrageous.

The quick emotional swings from the father are the butt of the joke. There are no serious implications or anything here.

It gets to a point...

Crocodile makes it very explicit that Vivi meeting Koza is the only thing that could foil his plan. Yet he goes out of his way to exposition dump his plan and leaves her alive. Why? Because he gets a kick out of Vivi struggling in futility. I would imagine Killingham very much enjoys the idea of Sanji laying there, knowing what Killingham is about to do and being powerless to stop him (At least so Killingham thinks).

Crocodile is smarter about this admittedly, between the timed bomb and the fake key he always has a fakeout set up. However that doesn't change that he would just win if he killed Vivi at Rainbase.

I am still unsure if the rain god and the sea god are supposed to be the same? But yeah there is rain in the mural for Zaza. Nice detail.

What happened? Bro thought he was so tough when he shot Barto in the back. That bum has to go fight Imu now if he really wants to stand on business.
