No wonder Iyoku fought them for the franchise rights, he should take the manga rights away from them too. Bunch of clowns
*For Time stranger Habu was the producer during (2017-2023)
One thing I liked about Habu was that he gave us a lot of QA and did surveys on what type of games we liked to see next.
On the other hand the development of said games took way too long. However, I do appreciate him for bringing back Digimon World (vpet gameplay).
Saw how well the reception was for why I love Connections post so I would like to share some more.
This is nothing crazy, if anyone is into labbing combos, I would love to hear how to optimize some of them further.
LUFFY'S AWAKENING WAS FORSHADOWED.
SORRY SPEEDIES, BUT MY LORD AND SAVIOUR GODA(MASHALLAH) HAD IT ALL PLANNED.
1.Hints during Skypiea
Sun God mentioning. Focus on Luffy's silhouette and the drums of liberation sfx playing. That alone should have been a huge hint on what would come next after ch 1043. Especially if you tried to connect it with the speech of Who is Who with Jinbei and what the Gorosei were talking about a specific fruit having a fake name.
Also the face off against Enel where a fake God meets a real God." HEY, wtf does that mean? Where is the hint."
FUCKING CONNIE PRAYING DESPERATELY TO THE CHANCE OF THE EXISTENCE OF A GOD BRINGING BACK THE SUNSHINE. JUST LIKE EHHH A SUN GOD.
AIIIII????
2.Fishman Island cover
Small hint on Luffy being Nika by looking at the Nika mermaid.
3.Emphasis on smiling
SFX Nika = Grin/Smile
Luffy's toughness and his rise in power throughout his journey. Lucci explains it well. Zoan users who train their bodies rapidly gain in power and in terms of combat ZOANS are the best offensive fruits, that's why dueing Kaido's fight Luffy was getting stronger and stronger as their fight went on and eventually awakened his fruit.
The fight against Katakuri was a stalemate in terms of skill (their techniques almost mirrored each other) but what made Luffy edge against Kata? His physical endurance and being able to reach a new form in G4, what other fruits allows transformations? ZOANS. Hinting again that Luffy is not a mere paramecia. ADDITIONALLY!!! Both Kaido and Doffy remarked that the way Luffy's elasticity behaved does not follow regular rubber logic!
5.Kaido also remarks that death completes a person.
During the rooftop battle, Kaido essentially kills Luffy. His “voice” disappears, and everyone thinks he’s dead. That moment is critical because Luffy’s old self metaphorically dies and then "Joy Boy / Gear 5 emerges".
NEVER EVER DOUBT MY LORD GODA EVER AGAIN.
THIS IS A MATTER OF READING COMPREHENSION!
HunterxHunter sisters could never understand Oda's ingenuity they need everything spelled out for them.
