The Official Anime & Manga Thread Vol: 三

I thought the fall of Danafall and the exile of the Sins happened around the same time 10 years ago. But a later episode cleared it up and said the Danafall incident happened 16 years ago. So Elizabeth is about 16 which makes Meliodas look like a bigger creep.

yea, that was really predatory right!!

He was waiting for her to grow up but she found him since he was exiled. Kinda reminds me of this Eva Green movie about her husband dying so she impregnates herself with his clone and has a sexual relationship with him when he's grown.

Caught up with Boku no Hero Academia and Black Clover.
I can see why people hate/love both
They're pretty solid if people stop critiquing so hard as if their lives depended on it

Black clover felt too much like a offspin of soul eater.!

 

[chucktwnsfinest]

Going back to legendary Sannin though, does Tsunade appearance jitsu count as a Kekkai Genkai? If so then Boruto younger sister and Sakara (100 healings) will be able to use it at some point right?

Spoiler: Tower of God

It'd be great if they rescued everyone except Rachel, but Yu Hansung will probably free her. I need Miseng to tell Baam that Arkraptor and Prince are dead.

I like how the frog guy's motivation is not wanting to do paper work. Also, I wonder how Yuri gets out of this without completely blowing her cover.

I wonder what level regular would even provide Baam a challenge at this point?

I wonder if Rak wants to throw Khun in that fire? Or does he recognize the flames since Evankhell might be an ancient?

Ha Jinsung must be stressed since he's gone back to smoking instead of eating candy. SIU is making things interesting for sure.

Spoiler: One Piece

I figure Law will teleport Luffy and himself away? I'm skeptical that Luffy will end up in the cell with kid cause it doesn't give him much of an opportunity to grow in the 2 weeks they have, if that's still in play after this.

I am glad this happened though. Luffy needed a humbling experience in the New World. This should give Luffy a good reality check. I assume a team up with Luffy giving the deciding blow is how the fight will go, with Hawkins joining the group and using his limit breaking card. I'm just wondering how Oda will have Luffy power up for now though, that will be the interesting thing I think.

One Piece at times has had a hard time building real tension, relying on tricks and cliffhangers that don't do much, but I think this raised the stakes a good bit for the arc. Hopefully now people stop complaining about the Yonko all the time.

seems to me luffy's haki still has a lot of room to grow, especially his armament haki. needs to be harder, but he also needs more power. kaido wasn't really sweatin those hits. like johnny knoxville vs butterbean.

Yeah Luffy's armament was weaker than katakuri's too. The question is what can he do in the 2 week time frame, if that still exists to get it where it needs to be. I'd really like for conquer's haki to actually matter at some point too.

 

[tdogg2k]

Bring back nightmare luffy!

 

[2sappy]

What the. So what is the latest arc does Funimation and Crunchyroll have on their apps right now?!?!



Zoro on his eye, Luffy on his chest



Yeah but Admiral Akianu punched a circular hole in Jeinbei through his back and his Luffy in his chest but luffy's scar is a "X" mark. Wouldn't Luffy's scar be circular, as well?!

They are currently on the Whole Cake Island arc. We are about 6 months from the arc ending at least.

As for the scars, if I remember correctly, Luffy got the X-shaped scar during a near death experience from a beast on the island he was training on during the timeskip (someone correct me if I'm wrong). As for Zoro, it's implied that his eye got cut by Mihawk, although he hasn't said for sure.

I thought the fall of Danafall and the exile of the Sins happened around the same time 10 years ago. But a later episode cleared it up and said the Danafall incident happened 16 years ago. So Elizabeth is about 16 which makes Meliodas look like a bigger creep.

All will be explained in due time peeps.

I believe Luffy's scar is from Akainu when Jinbe was carrying him and Akainu punched throught Jinbe and hit Luffy. In Fishman island when Akainu is brought up Luffy even grabs at the scar on his chest.

 

[tdogg2k]

No one gives credit to jinbe. Homie tanked a punch from akainu...no respect

 

[Based Jesus]

I feel like it's important to point out that Kaidou is suicidal and still can't be stopped. Drunk or not, he wasn't losing.

 

[SC kid]

Was re watching earlier one piece

Moment when I was like "this is really good"


Moment when I was like this is REALLY good"


One piece is so good at character development and depth.

Also the first crocodile arc is basically an amazing movie lol.

 

[gaiiige]

owari no seraph was cool, hope it gets another season

ending felt rushed and a little messy

 

[dakingii]

Man i really feel like the Tokyo Ghoul anime doesnt do the manga justice.

Exactly. How can people not want Jimbe to join the crew when he's been shown willing to lay down his life for the crew.

 

[Barbados Slim]

I thought Master Roshi was bad but Meliodas is a straight savage.

How so?

 

[sreggie101]

dude is OD. but its a weird relationship he has with shorty so idk lol.

 

[Barbados Slim]

Just finished season 3 of 7 deadly sins. Lion sin of Pride a true G.
Anyone know what chapter in the manga the season ends at?

 

[dakingii]

How so?

There is a level of character mania and gore in the series that is shown in the manga panels very well that isnt translated well in the anime. I cant really explain it but if you read the manga version of certain events then watch the anime i dont feel like they convey the same feelings.
