Mannnnnn anyone else appreciate how boss Naruto's life is?

Homie went from being forever alone to being commander in chief :hat

Dude got Shikamaru, the smartest dude ever, at his right hand :hat

Got Sasuke Da Gawd, the legendary hitta, at his left hand, doing extended missions in the shadows on some Jiraiya/Danzo steez

Got Da Legend Wit Da Pretty Face Kakashi giving him advice when Kakashi isn't out with his brawds.

Got a talented *** son, Boruto, who is probably in a field practicing summoning tailed beasts or some ****.

Making mad decisions. Cloak swagger on a hundred thousand trillion

Naruto went from Fools Wilding to Completely Doing It :hat

Sasuke's an even bigger deadbeat than I originally thought. Dude had a cellphone and apparently could never be bothered to call home, but he kept in basic contact with Naruto :lol Knocked somebody up then dipped real quick like "Nah fam, you ain't gonna tie me down".
 
OP and NG are out.

Awakening? Of course there has to be a new devil fruit power level now that Luffy powered up.

The question now is, how any people have "awakened" that have been introduced without us knowing?

Prior to this we had only actually seen awakening with the zoan guards of Impel down. It makes sense Doffy is awakened though since he's had his DF for about 30 years. Also Kuzan and Akainu are probably awakened and it explains the permanent climate changes on Punk Hazard. The only other possible people we've seen awakened would be at Marineford, the problem there is everyone was restricted. The Whitebeard pirates couldn't use anything too devastating until Ace was free and the marines couldn't because it would damage marineford too much. Also we saw Doffy use his Awakened powers in chapter 780, we just didn't know it at the moment. Also is chopper's monster point just forced awakening? I'd like to see Robin awakened and actually have some damn fights. 
Anyway

Awakening is the most interesting thing introduced in the Chapter. Doffy was a well of information throughout the arc. I thought the final attack was lackluster, but the fight needed to end and honestly expected to be reminiscent of Luffy vs Blueno once Luffy hit gear 4 anyway. Luffy wasn't outclassed prior so a boost was going to put him over the top. Kinda tired of Bazooka finishers as well, but with the buff kamehameha stance Oda completes his Oda to Master Roshi in the arc. I hope that last one broke doffy's glasses tho. Doffy and Luffy might have 1 more chapter left in them, but I don't mind if it's done either. Also what does Doffy going down do to what Zoro and Franky had planned for the Bird Cage?

 I'm hoping Sabo vs Burgess doesn't become a full scale fight either and that he gets a call from Blackbeard telling him to return and then some world building can happen and the arc moves on. Also it looks like Burgess has a sack of Smiles on his back to give to blackbeard.

Another interesting concept the fact that Haki can be overused. I wonder what the effects of that are. Maybe he won't be able to use haki for a set period of time ala Rayleigh at the auction house. 

Gear 4 has a time limit and Doffy confirmed it had risks. It seems Doffy took the time to learn his powers and always avoid pushing them to cause health risks to himself while Luffy rushed learning his powers and now it's becoming detrimental. 

I wish Riku's speech was better. It was basically just a summary of what's been going on. But all the Dressrosa natives have been lackluster so a lackluster speech is about their level, except I still like Viola more than the rest. The biggest benefit however is that the whole country knows who is defeating Doflamingo and helping them, which means less chance of a cover up like in Alabasta, where only the marines and the royal family/guard knew who stopped Croc. I'm also hoping Absalom is out at sea watching Sanji fight big mom's ship and reports on it, like he did with the Kidd x Hawkins x Apoo alliance so everybody can get bounty updates all at once.

Fuji found the kid in the bear shirt, but still have been just chilling most of the arc.

Once this arc is completely finished I'll go back and marathon it. But as of now the big things that'll come from it off the top of my head are, Kaido no longer will trade the weapons he was making on Scotch's island for SMILES, which means the some warring countries won't get their weapons. Which benefits Prodence and Kanokuni and the Revs. Kaido will be angry with Law and the Strawhats. Luffy gains allies and a new loyal kingdom in time for the Reverie, where Fuji plans to put in motion the abolition of the warlord system. All the underground brokers will be gunning for Luffy as well with his name ringing out in the new world, although I'd be interested in seeing Law take up the Joker mantle. Obviously Big mom's ship vs Sanji, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Kid alliance stepped in an helped Sanji since Big mom seems to be their target. We found out about some huge secret at Marijois, Jinbe hopefully brings the Poneglyph he found to Robin, and X Drake is taking Caribou to Kaido, who will then probably find out Shirahoshi is Poseidon. I'm sure there's more in there as well.

I was also immediately reminded of crocodile's powers in alabasta. How everything he touched turned to sand and even how he could literally split the desert in half.

Also Kubo gone. I don't know. Son is on something. He's been writing this mange high. For how long I don't know but it's become painfully apparent. This ***** must be stopped before he ruins bleach anymore.

As for Naruto
It's not enough that sasuke was a deadbeat but now itachi out here with illegitimate kids too? Looks like I was right about Itachi dying from AIDS. Probably knocked down everything that moved after he left the village. Them uchiha boys all the same brehs

I figured that was an aspect of his power, but it's possible it's awakening since he was one of the best DF users and had become completely reliant on it. Also I considered Ace due to the fact that when he visited Drum it was the only day it didn't snow there, but at the same time he shouldn't have been able to awake his fruit in the short time he had it. 
A theory I just heard was that Enel awakened and was at the lightning Island Urogue ended up at when he first arrived in the New World. Urogue probably wants revenge on Enel anyway since he's from Birka and Enel destroyed Birka, but we'll see. 
 
Bleach
Jeez, they're bringing everybody out of the woodwork now. :lol
I do have a little theory goin on right now though as to what will happen. My guess is that when Yhwach "becomes" the new soul king, Uryu in gonna be forced to kill him since their mission is to eliminate the soul king, whomever he is. That is how he will succeed the Quincey throne and become their next leader, since Yhwach made him his successor. He'll then make peace with Ichigo and the reapers, and they'll all go live in Ichigo's house. The end. :lol


New AoT chapter is out too.
So the Ackermans aren't affected by the memory wipe powers of the Reiss family. interesting. That might come into play someday if any memory wipey stuff goes down. :lol
Im also interested to see how that Titan vial will come into play later.
And i like how they can still kid around like that at the end. :smokin
 
NARUTO
Those two dudes plotting on Sasuke must be NTers the way they capin for Itachi :lol

OP
So is Doffy dead? At the end of the chapter it said Luffy delivered a "fatal blow"
 
Those comments at the end are written by the editor not Oda, so who knows. 
Also, dont forget that Law gave him a pretty grievous injury, only to have Doffy repair it with string, so I wouldn't count him out just yet.

Yeah, but it was a patchwork job until he could heal or get medical attention. But I don't expect him to be done yet. His trump card didn't do much other than open the door for the future so far. So probably half a chapter to a chapter left of fighting so Zoro and Kin can do something unless Franky just has everyone get inside the Smile factory for safety. 
Either way I hope the fights end soon and we don't go into a big Sabo vs Burgess fight so the arc can finally end. After arc stuff should be crazy.

Took me way longer than it should have, but this series was on point. Easily one of the best anime i've ever seen in regards to the overall story, the individual characters, and the dialogue between them all. The top notch animation and music were just icing on the cake.

I just think my issue was that I saw Kaori's character is very cliched so there was never any emotional attachment. I didn't care what happened to her. But that aside everything else was great. Arima was a boss's and I wish the show could've focused more on the music and him

This was my biggest issue as well, I couldn't vibe with her then when it started straying away from the music to be about those two it lost me completely. 

I stayed away from Assassinations Classroom cause I thought it looked stupid but so far first two episodes

I found her demands to be somewhat annoying, but that's the norm for me with most females in anime honestly. I still liked her. I think the show was still all about him personally. Everyone else got some focus yeah, but it was really only to flesh them out into actual characters with personalities, backgrounds, and emotions. To me he was still at the center of it, with everyone else revolving around him and their relationship with him.

Poor Yuki, sad because she could have been president. :(
Also, those dudes from the other school are so incompetent that it hurts to watch. Even the SC from Hikki's school know it and are tired of doing everything for them. :lol
All these girls catching feels for Hikki are gonna cause problems later. :lol
