Honestly, I never found Kin'emon to be "incompetent" per se. Goofy, yes. Somewhat comic relief? Yes, but so is Sanji with his mannerism around women or Zoro trying to find his way down a straight hallway. But when Kin'emon actually did anything, which wasn't common but did happen, he seemed to be perfectly competent with a sword.
Yes, also back in punk hazard he did mention that there is no fire that he cannot cut, foreshadowing that he can even defend against kaidos fire breath attack
@@anabenskywalker122 you mean he would be found somewhere else just like in G8 arc when he was leading them out of the jail and they got lost in the one way out jail cell and ended up in the mess hall 🤣
So don't you think its "incompetent" of kinemon when he tremble in fear when he see Pica giant form about to punch the place that he and bunch other people stand while he is this strong? i mean he at least could use his sword skill & ryou to slash pica...
Oden: Don't underestimate them. Akainu: I'll pass. People of Wano: The legendary Samurai of Kozuki Oden. Orochi: Shits his pants when he hears about them, at the same time he insults CP0 to their faces. Fandom: They should be weak right?
Just like Marineford was Whitebeard's war with Luffy being a part of it, this is the Scabbards' war with Luffy being a part of it. It's not exactly personal to Luffy. So it isn't surprising that Scabbards are taking the center stage here, at least for now
@@gael5615 can't say for sure because it hasn't been stated. who knows, his human form could be his devil power. Compacting all the strength of his dragon form into the tanky body of his human forme while he remains a dragon at heart.
@@SrMissileMonkey yeah precisely or he could be an actual dragonkin race of some sort....I'm not denying that he has a fruit but there's always the possibility that he actually isn't a power user
Big mom saying “dead man tell no tales” was fantastic. Wasn’t expecting that iconic pirate line. Also a good reminder that the battles been going waaaaay to smoothly rn, some characters are surely going to die in this battle.
@@larsnyman2455 Yeah. That's actually confirmed. She was 8 years old when she witnessed Odens execution and that happend 20 years ago so you can do the math from right there
Op fandom are stoned af, Scabbard strength are already being hype even before the clash with Kaido. Orochi who claim that he don't fear the World Govt and even threatens the Cp0 right infront of them( because he has Kaido) was shitting his pants just by hearing the name of Scabbard. Now Oda is showing us their true potential. But here, the fandom only think about Zoro, Luffy etc. And they call the Scabbard doing some work against Kaido was an asspull, bad writing, power buff out of nowhere etc. with some people use these to downplay Kaido, i can already hear " Weakest Yonko " chant in the fandom hahaha
Honestly I think it’s entirely to do with a lack of reading comprehension. Like you said Wano samurai’s strength has been hyped up for ever. Since thriller bark even.
tbh you cannot take orochi seriously. He was scared of the scabbards because they were oden's vassals and not because they ere the specific 9 people. Also they had some crazy legends surrounding them so an idiot like orochi believing all the myths and getting scared seems logical. Though it is true that wano really showed how strong they actually were but you will agree when I say that maximum you could hope from them before this arc was somewhere around vice admiral level. It is still strong but when you see your main character is splitting islands with one punch, power scales shift quite a bit.
Not even solely about their strength they’re fighting for Oden, their pride and the suffering they endured for 20 years and have been planning since then, we’ve all heard the saying “when there’s a will there’s a way”, this is an example. Not everything in One Piece is about power levels like DBZ, matchup and context to the story matters a lot too, we were shown this not long ago when Luffy fought Katakuri and they forgot already 🤦
People will always complain for whatever.. I think it's really dumb that people still think One Piece is in a spot where we gotta let Luffy and Zoro handle everything even though the sheer scale of the battles have expanded immensely since then. The scabbards won't win but they more than deserve the spotlight here.
leave those morons to their complaining. They're the only ones not enjoying the arc and calling Oda a bad writer. Morons. Let's just enjoy the arc ourselves.
The biggest plot twist in One Piece - A non-Strawhat vs villain fight dedicated chapter instead of being off-screened! 🤣 But Raizo is the MVP of 992, hands down.
I thought something different about the two sword style: Oden imparted the two sword style, which then was learned by Shimotsuki Kozaburo, the grandfather of Kuina. At the beginning of the series, Zoro said he would improve on the two-sword style, and I offer the idea that the two sword style is the exact same one Zoro learned, and by defeating Kaido with the Three Sword Style, Zoro would make good on his promise of improving what he learned.
10:54 I'm pretty sure the "Black Maria is Yamato's mom" theory already died a few weeks ago when it was revealed that Black Maria is 29 years old and Yamato is 28 years old...
Hyogoro explained ryou in the same exact way Koushirou explained breath of all things, which would lead one to believe Zoro has known ryou longer than anyone.
Ikr i thought that was pretty obvious given how hyogoro described exactly what happened to him in alabasta but i guess people don't pay enough attention to the details. It would also be really awkward if he didn't knew seeing how he spent 2 years with the most powerful swordsman, and wano explicitly shows how ryuo is both really important and a technique mostly privy to swordsman.
@Eupo It is the same thing love, they just call it something else in wano because they focus in the flow of haki and how it effets their sword skills. And there is no "ryou level" because it is not stronger haki, simply a different technique employed by swordsman.
He is more impressive then people make him out to be same for buggy. Yes most character could beat him up in a close range fight but a sniper can kill you from miles away and you will never see it coming or know were the bullet came from. Hell he could draw at least he shots Kaido, kaido isn't harmed and goes what was that and ussop says ok ill just ignore him. Like for example who is stronger a bad ass sword master and martal artist or a assassin that buts possion in peoples food or kills them wile asleep. You will atleast see the first guy coming
The vassels are starting to feel like their own straw hat crew- being goofy and wacky when removed from context, but when they work together they become an incredible force
Shamisen might be a red herring towards "Kaido is getting beaten up, the ending is upon us", as to make the samurai's potential victory without Luffy's ass-saving more believable. Persospero's chat with Big Mom sounded antagonistic to me. There might be some tension or a conflict of interest? Perospero always seemed manipulative to me.
@@dustinjr1993 , Luffy should not be there helping them. This is their battle. There was no reason to assume Luffy would be involved, just that he'd end up finishing Kaido.
@@Shark-hn4mv then there is no reason oda should hype kaido vs luffy. Now I agree that scabbard deserves to kill kaido but u should know that this is just beginning of the fight. And this manga is about strawhat. Whether u like it or not luffy is going to fight kaido. If he wants to become an emperor. Same for other strawhat members. If they want to prove they are a threat they need to defeat strong opponents.
One of my favorite panels of this chapter was Big Mom’s dark reaction to Marco’s words on being free. Her realization on what that really means shook her to her very core, and that’s something.
Did you forget about kaido being an ogre part, as marco said to bigmom that "our common interest in taking out the ogres is no more". I think this is huge , maybe kaido is a dragon who ate the ogre-ogre fruit, what if this fruit as its a zoan, has different ogre forms?!
I too initially assumed Raizo to be using ninjutsu, but after someone else mention it was a DF power I cannot see it being anything but that - especially since in the translation that I read, Raizo says in japanese "maki maki jutsu". Having the two maki's is in line with DF/DF ability names, and consider maki in japanese can be translated as book or roll (fitting with the ability), not to mention maki can form other words that mean to capture or engulf etc. So, to me, it being a maki maki no mi fits.
It probably is a devil fruit because it was previously mentioned that devil fruits were unknown in wano, so whoever had devil fruits was just said to have magic powers, or jutsu
To be fair, I always thought Kinemon was funny but never thought of him as incompetent. He was very good with the sword, and his fire cutting style is so cool
* Seeing Big Mom and Perospero outside makes me hope Carrot will come out and duke it out with Perospero while Marco fights BM. * I hope the other BM pirates come and help cause more chaos to the battle since they are also unsure of the "alliance". * I hope Black Maria fights someone (anybody at this point) and shows her fighting potential. * Definitely hoping for Hybrid Kaido and the original scabbards be replaced by the Worst Generation Scabbards. Original scabbards shown how badass they are in this chapter and that brought a storm of smiles!
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a MINUTE. I just had a thought about that scroll. It's going out on a limb, but - remember Lassoo and Funkfreed? We know that inanimate objects can, in some way, be imbued with Devil Fruit abilities. However, we've only seen this with Zoan. What if Raizo's scroll was imbued with a Paramecia that can seal and then release attacks? That would also open up the possibility of combining a Devil Fruit with a Logia, which is mildly terrifying. Imagine if you could just take, oh, I don't know, the Gura Gura no Mi, put it in a weapon, and then anyone can use it? This might only be something that can be done with Zoans, though, like the SMILEs. Either way, it has majorly piqued my interest.
The last time I was this early Shanks had 2 arms However, you don't NEED 2 arms to press the subscribe button and notification bell for the Grand Line Review, resulting in regular One Piece content uploaded straight into your TH-cam feed. Also, like, create ten alts with the string-string fruit, and repeat the process continually.
6:39 ''zoro doesn't know ryuo'' then why the hell did they say that enma drew out his ryuo am i tripping? plus when hyogoro was teaching ryuo to luffy in the prison he had the same principle as zoro's master back in the day saying ''a swordsman can't cut even the thinnest of paper or can cut everything they wish''
I just want to say you’re definitely the best anime youtuber. All your videos are informative, concise. They aren’t longer than they need to be, interesting topics and you inject your opinion without being corny or weird.
Oh man, the wait for this chapter was worth it! Edit: I think the reason the Luffy and Carrot panels are there and drawn so similarly is because they are meant to juxtapose to what Big Mom had just said about how Dead Men give no orders or what Marco said about Whitebeard's crew not being bound to his will. For instance, Carrot is being motivated to attack Perospero for the death of Pedro, and the Samurai and - by extension - Luffy are being driven by the Will of Oden. Just a thought, though. Oh yeah, also never been this early. Should probably pin or something like that
i wont be surprised if majority of them die i dont want then too but like in big mom’s arc a HUGE sacrifice will have to be made like a major death or sum
@Mujaahid Arian it’s nuts and no one is talking about it... like Marco didn’t call him any other race or a thing he specifically called him an ogre... Marco would know what race kaido is
@Mujaahid Arian it was a figure of speech. The japanese version he says "hama suru" iirc which is a buddhist figure of speech literally translating to "defeating/killing the demon", usually in reference to achieving victory over worldly desires
This was a very shocking chapter. I never would’ve guessed that the vassals would be holding their own against Kaido. I’m really starting to think that Oda maybe be setting up a potential death or victory. Death is the more likely situation though
Exactly. I think Oda’s setting up at least a crushing defeat, if not a death or two for this battle. We’re not even half way through Wano if there’s going to be 5 acts.
I figure Wanda wasn't with the Kaido Attack Force (KAF) because she was sticking close to Nami, Carrot & the other Strawhats. Wanda is a dog -- who are very loyal -- and she seems to have bounded with Nami, while Carrot is her direct subordinate, so It makes sense that she would stay close to them.
On the bit about how hard it is to put comedy in the middle of a serious moment and use that comedy actually bring up the serious situation, I agree. My first thought of a writer that failed to do this would be the director of Dragon Ball Super: Resurrection F. Particularly the scene in the middle of the Goku / Frieza fight where Goku lands a solid one-inch punch on Frieza, only for it to instantly switch... to Beerus and Whis eating a strawberry cake or something. Completely taking away the tension from the scene as they act as a constant reminder that there are no stakes. No one will die with them around. No one will fail. It highlights only the status of the film at large being... well, pointless. I feel that Oda is one of the few that can clearly translate this because these comedy scenes don't act as any reassurance, or even a pull away. They usually act out as what the people in that scene are actually thinking about right then. Like during the Paramount War with Orz Junior. We're given basically nothing to go off of except how he and Ace briefly met and enjoyed having hats together, yet it doesn't feel like it pulls away from the scene. If anything, it makes it hit harder, even though we know basically nothing about either character. As for the chapter itself, I'm a bit confused about what Marco is doing or, well, did. I thought he knocked their boat down?
"I think [Oda] has built these guys really masterfully making them appear as wildly incompetent since the days of Punk Hazard and then slowly revealing their more serious sides building up to this very moment." That makes sense. Characters in One Piece have always had a design philosophy that can be summed up as "equal measures of dumbass and badass."
The cover art of yamato standing next to luffy with a determined look certainly gives yet another advantage to her in case of yamato vs carrot for nakama...which makes me happy cause i'm team yamato. Although yeah i also kinda don't like the color gradient of yamato's horns, imo if the yellow were replaced with black it'd be far more striking.
The scroll almost seems like a dial, with all the attack storing and releasing, I think that's quite cool, because the Dials are my favourite device in One Piece, and their powers are great
Yeah she's that big. Probably sucks in the one piece world to be a tailor or someone who makes utility items because they need to come in so many sizes.
If you look at the background of the panel with Carrot the same trees that surrounds Big Mom, Perospero and Marco are seen so they are all outside the front entrance of Onigashima.
I’m hyped for this chapter to be animated. The scene with Black Maria is giving me some HxH vibes. You know, that amazing scene with the Phantom Troupe in Yorknew City, when Riot is playing and Chrollo is talking?
I've been thinking this for a while now, but am i the only one who thinks that oden could've no diffed' kaido? the only reason he lost was because the clone woman turned into momonosuke, distracting him, showing how much he cares for his son
Do you seriously think zoro doesn't know ryuo by now after trainging with enma and being around luffy who was also training it at the same time? If not that, even before wano, mihawk, the literal best swordsman in the world, could've gave zoro the information. Even before timeskip in alabasta, zoro demonstrated both perception and armament haki in his fight with daz bones so it would make sense narratively to be ahead of luffy in a haki sense or at bare minimum just as strong.
I love this chapter, after 300 chapters of building up the scabbard's confrontation with Kaido, I'm glad they got almost an entire chapter dedicated to their fight. It's a great payoff, and yet we're still building to the arc's true climax, next week cannot come sooner.
That's right Big mom is not fred to do what she wants , she's carrying on mother caramel will. But that's not what caramel wanted since she was an imposter. Big mom has never been free.
Carrot properly heard the beast pirates announcement that Marko and Perospero had arrived on the island a few chapter back, she does have pretty big ears so that could make a lot of sense right?
There have been 4 characters whose df ability had something to do and associated with cloth: Diamante's hirahira (imitate) , Kin's fukufuku (create) , Kelly Funk's jakejake (became) and Tsuru's woshuwoshu (impose into). FANTASTIC PARAMECIAN SPECTRUM, THERE. But if we take it further by zooming out the scope to the spectrum; there'll be Leo (stitching), Doffy (string), Mont D'Or (book) and possibly Raizo with (paper scroll)-if his power is actually a granted ability from devil fruit, maybe "makimaki/wrap²"-with Inazuma (scissor) and Daz Bonez (slicing) having the antithesis of such spectrum.
I do think that Luffy's panel is a set up for him to finally reach Kaido. Imo, that Togen Totsuka is probably Kin, Inu, Den and Ashura's final attack that will drain their energy completely, then Luffy will appear to continue the fight... This whole scabbards vs Kaido, imo, is just to weaken Kaido enough for Luffy to beat, similar to how Law weakened Doffy with his gamma knife.
Kiado is just goofing around, he haven't yet used any haki or bagua(weapon he carry),he's just saving his true energy for main fight.....remember how insane fight with doflamingo was now it will be most badass....
what a great chapter to come back from.(especially the fact it came out on my little brothers birthday.:3) a fun focus on the scabbards showing how hellbent to the death they are to erase kaido(raizo deflecting kaido's breath attack was awesome,makes raizo even more my favorite of the vassals and them getting a hit on kaido/about to land one on his oden given scar shows them learning the strategy needed to get an advantage on kaido without any support like last time they fought.hope the luffy scene leads to the other strawhats/at least him & zoro helping out.),carrot doing something towards perospero(she strangely didn't do much until then just adding as to why i don't think she'll be a strawhat but i'm interested in how it will go with wanda going with her especially.) ,liked seeing more of yamato(i remember speed and wish she'd show up again.i like the devil red horns i think fits the aesthetic of wano along with her dr. stone esque hair.also like she's with luffy on the cover and it has a brief picture of demon slayer on it,makes me want another jump super/ultimate stars game from ganbarion having luffy mentioning wano's events to tanjuro,nezuko or inosuke.) and big mom's talk with marco.(shows her being a bit more casual with her anger being focused on luffy/the strawhats by mostly proxy and especially towards the commander of a person she hated likely as much as kaido,though i kinda knew the marco-perospero moments were about going after kaido though i hope he gets the other charlotte siblings involved and wasn't just for carrot to get revenge.) also liked the color spread(grandlinereviewer should do a top 10 cover spreads/cover pages since he did do list for cover art.) and think black maria's moment might lead to something(like a turn to kaido's strike,a look outside wano since there's that tease/art of vivi in wano attire or someone else getting involved since there's moriah/perona,the sun pirates,some of the grand fleet,we haven't seen kuzan in any of the blackbeard pirates scenes only a mention or even an unknown turn.)
Great panel analysis! I’m new to reading manga so those patterns don’t particularly stand out to me. Great insight! So many beautiful layers to this type media.
Yeah, i also didn't expected Carrot to get a panel this big and even be infront and center of....oh wait you talking about that fight between the Scabbards and Kaido... nevermind.😑 btw. Isn't Ryuo the same thing as Haki but just different words like with Mantra in Skypia?🤔
This chapter made me more excited for Big Mom, it was really cool seeing Perospero doing the "we want to see you become Pirate King" thing which reminds us that despite being an asshat the dream for their crew is still the same as Luffy's. I think Big Mom's response that she has a plan definitely suggests some kinda betrayal is in the works. Maybe Kaido is strategic enough to actually commit to an alliance in the face of whatever the World Government is doing, but remember that Big Mom is a child who's only interest is immediate gratification.
My favorite part was Raizo and his scroll, and the reverse Boro Breath! I am still SHOOK by that. I love his unique skill set. Everyone else has swords, and of course Inu with the guns, and Raizo pulls out a scroll. You definitely don't expect it because he's been using the Ninja Kunai.
When I saw the Sanji vs X. Drake fight I realised that there are at least 11 super human abilities that you can get excluding Devil fruits. Some are not that well explained and I may be wrong but I tried to count and that's what I came up with : 1. Obviously Haki.(Busoshoku) 2. Observation Haki.(Kenbunshoku) [I personally don't want to belive that you can't aquarie Conquerers Haki throught training and mental/spiritual growths as well as growth of personality but at this point it's pretty much confirmed so I won't count it in.] ---.The 6 Powers. First showcased in the CP9 arc. I count them as seven 3.Iron Body(Tekkai){1} 4.Moon Walk(Geppo){2} 5.Shave(Soru){3} 6.Tempest Kick/Storm Leg(Rankyaku){4} 7.Finger Pistol/Gun(Shigan){5} 8.Paper Movement(Kami-e){6} 8.Six King Gun(Rakuogan){7} [Double Fist punch Wich can course internal damage] And finally ELEMENT BENDING! That just a joke but when you thing about it : 9.Fire (Sanji uses it to armor his leg. Still don't the fuck know how that should work without any movement...) 10.Water (Fishman Karate users can control water with just bodymovements. I think Jinbei collected water out of thin air at one occasion.And there are other examples. Maybe a Fishman only skill Wich I don't believe) 11.Wind (Sword Wind Slashes... I thing I don't need to say more. Maybe doesn't count because it's basically one of the Six Powers : Rankyaku) 12.Electricity (Mink Tribe combat skill. Limited to furry creatures.) Also there was one one guy from CP9 who could control his hair/body with his mind/spirit. I think that's what Zoro's Gorilla Muscle Power Ups are. And you may even count in the new Flowing Hako. There may be more we don't know jet. Like I said some are just speculation but it's really cool how a normal person can rise to the top only with will power and training.
I think he is a bit tankier and has more wide range raw destructive power. He can't really level entire countryside in his normal form. But i would say he is more agile and stronger when it comes to fighting one on one. Normaly the Boro breath would deal with groups, but Kinemon and Raizo just nullify this. Also he is a much easier target to hit as a huge dragon.
Kaido Dragon form is not weak. It is just a gigantic a easy target for small and normal size Peoples in Compare to Kaido. For doing Massive Destruction the Dragon form is perfect because he can destroy much space and places quicker and with ease with his Boro breath and climate powers related to his fruit. But his body is easy to hit due to the enormous size, and everyone that we had saw Kaido face from Luffy to the Scabbards now they are Strong and fast Opponents. They can dodge Kaido slow movements because of his weight that slows him dowm and hit a lot Kaido since in his Dragon form he is full of openings. Kaido needs to go to Human Form or Hybrid form, so he can be in a state when he can fight with more Versatility, because his Dragon Form lacks Versatility, Speed and is a big target full of weak spots and openings, but his Dragon form is the form were he have more destructive power and force. But even at his Human Form or his Hybrid form(That I hope he have) his Strength his gigantic that rivals and is superior to Big Mom Level of strength.
I think it was a different reason for Wanda not being involved in the Sulong battle, as Carrot was shown in Whole Cake Island to be able to utilize Sulong just fine, but she wasn't apart of the fight
I'm with you about Carrot's action in this chapter. Like, Oda, please show stuff; transitions are your friend! It would have held a lot more weight if there was content focusing on Carrot actually spotting Perospero in 991. Hopefully, the anime fills in the blank on that.
I saw a post that presented a really good idea. As of this chapter it appears that Kawamatsu has been blown away by Kaido. What if each chapter following this another scabbard falls. Which would perfectly take us to chapter 1000 when all of them are ultimately defeated.
hmm....outside of a flashback arc, would this have been the first One Piece chapter, where Luffy wasn't featured, had it not been for that one small panel?
I believe Luffy's panel is a hint of him and carrot somehow winding up together. I also believe that Carrot will be very injured (if not killed) by perospero so maybe both panels are a small hint of Luffy seeingher in trouble and going to help her having a small clash against perospero and big mom where Marco would probably intervene so Luffy would take Carrot away from there and keep going towards Kaido while we have an epic Marco fight going on in the background
I feel like that would be kinda undermine Carrot's resolve like if Inu and Neko never got to kick Jack's teeth in for what he did in Zou. The Moon's out and Marco and Wanda are around she should be fine plus Luffy's a man on a mission right now.
@@visionaryvjae5641 I agree with you. She'd probably get a few good hits in, but at some point she'd be defeated. I mean it's Perospero and Big Mom she can't do anything against both of them
@@tristandepakistan9947 That's true but I doubt Big Mom will still be around by the time Carrot gets there. BM is a whole yonko I doubt she'd spend her time babysitting Perospero the entire war. BM also has an obsession with Luffy and will likely go try to thwart his ascension so she can kill him herself. So BM will probably leave Carrot and Wanda to Perospero. Perospero himself will probably want to payback his lost arm to some of the minks particularly Carrot because he knows she was with the strawhats at the time. The only way I can see BM and Perospero staying together the whole war is if Perospero actively follows BM but Carrot will likely intercept Perospero and BM won't help him especially against normal form Carrot she'll just trust he'll get the job done.
@@visionaryvjae5641 not the whole war. More like a momentary clash were Carrot and Luffy see them together at the time. After Luffy saving Carrot and Marco covering him he'll probably fight one of them while the other gets distracted with something else. But the moment Carrot arrives I think she'll get there in time to find both. But this is wild speculation of course
@@tristandepakistan9947 I guess if Luffy really gets distracted from going up to the roof and Big Mom reduces her thirst for Luffy's blood long enough for Carrot to find BM and Perospero still together it's possible.
Honestly, I never found Kin'emon to be "incompetent" per se. Goofy, yes. Somewhat comic relief? Yes, but so is Sanji with his mannerism around women or Zoro trying to find his way down a straight hallway.

Yes, also back in punk hazard he did mention that there is no fire that he cannot cut, foreshadowing that he can even defend against kaidos fire breath attack

I think if we just trapped Zoro in a tiny room with the door right in front of him, it would take him 10 minutes to find the way out
@@anabenskywalker122 you mean he would be found somewhere else just like in G8 arc when he was leading them out of the jail and they got lost in the one way out jail cell and ended up in the mess hall 🤣

@@luis15317 So her and momonosuke would be the same age if he didn't time traveled.
Op fandom are stoned af, Scabbard strength are already being hype even before the clash with Kaido. Orochi who claim that he don't fear the World Govt and even threatens the Cp0 right infront of them( because he has Kaido) was shitting his pants just by hearing the name of Scabbard. Now Oda is showing us their true potential. But here, the fandom only think about Zoro, Luffy etc. And they call the Scabbard doing some work against Kaido was an asspull, bad writing, power buff out of nowhere etc. with some people use these to downplay Kaido, i can already hear " Weakest Yonko " chant in the fandom hahaha
Honestly I think it’s entirely to do with a lack of reading comprehension. Like you said Wano samurai’s strength has been hyped up for ever. Since thriller bark even.
tbh you cannot take orochi seriously. He was scared of the scabbards because they were oden's vassals and not because they ere the specific 9 people. Also they had some crazy legends surrounding them so an idiot like orochi believing all the myths and getting scared seems logical. Though it is true that wano really showed how strong they actually were but you will agree when I say that maximum you could hope from them before this arc was somewhere around vice admiral level. It is still strong but when you see your main character is splitting islands with one punch, power scales shift quite a bit.
Not even solely about their strength they’re fighting for Oden, their pride and the suffering they endured for 20 years and have been planning since then, we’ve all heard the saying “when there’s a will there’s a way”, this is an example. Not everything in One Piece is about power levels like DBZ, matchup and context to the story matters a lot too, we were shown this not long ago when Luffy fought Katakuri and they forgot already 🤦
People will always complain for whatever.. I think it's really dumb that people still think One Piece is in a spot where we gotta let Luffy and Zoro handle everything even though the sheer scale of the battles have expanded immensely since then. The scabbards won't win but they more than deserve the spotlight here.
leave those morons to their complaining. They're the only ones not enjoying the arc and calling Oda a bad writer. Morons. Let's just enjoy the arc ourselves.
The biggest plot twist in One Piece - A non-Strawhat vs villain fight dedicated chapter instead of being off-screened! 🤣
But Raizo is the MVP of 992, hands down.
Raizo: Reverse Uno

Kaido: Boro Breath
Raizo: No u

😂😂😂😂😂
I thought something different about the two sword style: Oden imparted the two sword style, which then was learned by Shimotsuki Kozaburo, the grandfather of Kuina. At the beginning of the series, Zoro said he would improve on the two-sword style, and I offer the idea that the two sword style is the exact same one Zoro learned, and by defeating Kaido with the Three Sword Style, Zoro would make good on his promise of improving what he learned.
You have a good point there. I also was thinking of that. Especially Zoro`s master has 2 swords on his clothing. :D
Digging Yamato's color scheme. Was worried she'd be another pink-haired One Piece woman.
where did they show this?
I agree. Her white hair really suits her.
Can’t wait to see her in the anime next year
I'm biased towards pink hair.
Then again I'm also biased towards white hair.
She looks like Senku's sister
10:54 I'm pretty sure the "Black Maria is Yamato's mom" theory already died a few weeks ago when it was revealed that Black Maria is 29 years old and Yamato is 28 years old...
Then who else could Kaido put his baby juice in?
@@huckman3728 there could be a shrinking devil fruit or something out there.
@@huckman3728 The Will of D is strong.
Hyogoro explained ryou in the same exact way Koushirou explained breath of all things, which would lead one to believe Zoro has known ryou longer than anyone.
Ikr i thought that was pretty obvious given how hyogoro described exactly what happened to him in alabasta but i guess people don't pay enough attention to the details. It would also be really awkward if he didn't knew seeing how he spent 2 years with the most powerful swordsman, and wano explicitly shows how ryuo is both really important and a technique mostly privy to swordsman.
finally someone who understands
@Eupo It is the same thing love, they just call it something else in wano because they focus in the flow of haki and how it effets their sword skills. And there is no "ryou level" because it is not stronger haki, simply a different technique employed by swordsman.
Isnt ryuo haki? Wano has different name for it being isolated from the rest of the world the same way skypiean called obs haki mantra
@Eupo was used also by the admirals in Marineford arc, when all three together blocked a shockwave of Whitebeard.
Ussop would've beat Kaido in one blow within the first page of the chapter, these scabbards are weak lol
BIG FACTS
@@bulletproofman323 He flicks a peanut into his mouth like bullseye he chocks
He is more impressive then people make him out to be same for buggy. Yes most character could beat him up in a close range fight but a sniper can kill you from miles away and you will never see it coming or know were the bullet came from. Hell he could draw at least he shots Kaido, kaido isn't harmed and goes what was that and ussop says ok ill just ignore him. Like for example who is stronger a bad ass sword master and martal artist or a assassin that buts possion in peoples food or kills them wile asleep. You will atleast see the first guy coming
He can't after he reset the universe he chose to be a normal person because it's too boring for him to oneshot everyone.
Started rewatching Little Garden and looking at Usopp being hyped for giants. Such a delight
Maybe Oden got a Reject Dial from skypeia for Raizo and maybe Raizo did some tinkering to turn the dial into scroll.
This fills me with joy
That would be awesome
This is instant canon
The scrolls are Raizos DF power
The vassels are starting to feel like their own straw hat crew- being goofy and wacky when removed from context, but when they work together they become an incredible force
I'm pretty sure that's the point of them, they are what the strawhats would be if luffy died. Each faction has nine members and one leader
But who is the traitor among straw hats
This chapter was insanely good like always. Oda never disappoints us.
I know. Hope the anime version doesn't suck
@@sonsbury9855 Same
th-cam.com/video/wg2S1zs72CU/w-d-xo.html
@@sonsbury9855 from the looks of it they may not fail for wano specifically.
Shamisen might be a red herring towards "Kaido is getting beaten up, the ending is upon us", as to make the samurai's potential victory without Luffy's ass-saving more believable.
Persospero's chat with Big Mom sounded antagonistic to me. There might be some tension or a conflict of interest? Perospero always seemed manipulative to me.
Im just surprised luffy isnt there helping them, i do hope the scabbards get the killing blow
@@dustinjr1993 , Luffy should not be there helping them. This is their battle. There was no reason to assume Luffy would be involved, just that he'd end up finishing Kaido.
@@Shark-hn4mv then there is no reason oda should hype kaido vs luffy. Now I agree that scabbard deserves to kill kaido but u should know that this is just beginning of the fight. And this manga is about strawhat. Whether u like it or not luffy is going to fight kaido. If he wants to become an emperor. Same for other strawhat members. If they want to prove they are a threat they need to defeat strong opponents.

When Zoro used Enma during the arrival to onigashima he was in the Oden pose.
One of my favorite panels of this chapter was Big Mom’s dark reaction to Marco’s words on being free. Her realization on what that really means shook her to her very core, and that’s something.
Did you forget about kaido being an ogre part, as marco said to bigmom that "our common interest in taking out the ogres is no more".
I think this is huge , maybe kaido is a dragon who ate the ogre-ogre fruit, what if this fruit as its a zoan, has different ogre forms?!
I too initially assumed Raizo to be using ninjutsu, but after someone else mention it was a DF power I cannot see it being anything but that - especially since in the translation that I read, Raizo says in japanese "maki maki jutsu". Having the two maki's is in line with DF/DF ability names, and consider maki in japanese can be translated as book or roll (fitting with the ability), not to mention maki can form other words that mean to capture or engulf etc.
So, to me, it being a maki maki no mi fits.
Didn't one of the Big Mom's sons have book book fruit, so maybe Raizo has Book book fruit model: Scroll.
It probably is a devil fruit because it was previously mentioned that devil fruits were unknown in wano, so whoever had devil fruits was just said to have magic powers, or jutsu
They literally call devil fruit abilities in wano nin jutsus. I’m surprised it seems like people forgot this fact.
@@gilsercrow3590 They also call other things jutsus too, just a reminder.
@@masvindu Really? Can I have an example because I really don’t remember.
To be fair, I always thought Kinemon was funny but never thought of him as incompetent. He was very good with the sword, and his fire cutting style is so cool
* Seeing Big Mom and Perospero outside makes me hope Carrot will come out and duke it out with Perospero while Marco fights BM.
* I hope the other BM pirates come and help cause more chaos to the battle since they are also unsure of the "alliance".
* I hope Black Maria fights someone (anybody at this point) and shows her fighting potential.
* Definitely hoping for Hybrid Kaido and the original scabbards be replaced by the Worst Generation Scabbards. Original scabbards shown how badass they are in this chapter and that brought a storm of smiles!
And also the other half of the big mom pirates her territory is now an easy target for Blackbeard
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a MINUTE. I just had a thought about that scroll. It's going out on a limb, but - remember Lassoo and Funkfreed? We know that inanimate objects can, in some way, be imbued with Devil Fruit abilities. However, we've only seen this with Zoan. What if Raizo's scroll was imbued with a Paramecia that can seal and then release attacks? That would also open up the possibility of combining a Devil Fruit with a Logia, which is mildly terrifying. Imagine if you could just take, oh, I don't know, the Gura Gura no Mi, put it in a weapon, and then anyone can use it? This might only be something that can be done with Zoans, though, like the SMILEs. Either way, it has majorly piqued my interest.
The last time I was this early Shanks had 2 arms
However, you don't NEED 2 arms to press the subscribe button and notification bell for the Grand Line Review, resulting in regular One Piece content uploaded straight into your TH-cam feed. Also, like, create ten alts with the string-string fruit, and repeat the process continually.
6:39 ''zoro doesn't know ryuo'' then why the hell did they say that enma drew out his ryuo am i tripping? plus when hyogoro was teaching ryuo to luffy in the prison he had the same principle as zoro's master back in the day saying ''a swordsman can't cut even the thinnest of paper or can cut everything they wish''
I thought ryou was the Wano word for haki or maybe it's slightly different.
@@britt6184 yea i think so as well but that doenst change was i stated in my comment
Bear in mind that, because Chapter 0 exists, Chapter 999 will, in fact, be the 1000th chapter of One Piece.
no it will be the 999th chapter.
Thank you Shiki
I just want to say you’re definitely the best anime youtuber. All your videos are informative, concise. They aren’t longer than they need to be, interesting topics and you inject your opinion without being corny or weird.
Thanks for the kind words! :D
One piece got me out of a deep depression 15 years ago and I've never looked back. Thank you Oda.
Oh man, the wait for this chapter was worth it!
Edit: I think the reason the Luffy and Carrot panels are there and drawn so similarly is because they are meant to juxtapose to what Big Mom had just said about how Dead Men give no orders or what Marco said about Whitebeard's crew not being bound to his will. For instance, Carrot is being motivated to attack Perospero for the death of Pedro, and the Samurai and - by extension - Luffy are being driven by the Will of Oden. Just a thought, though.
Oh yeah, also never been this early. Should probably pin or something like that
There you have it, folks. Pedro's death, confirmed!
I'm guessing some of the scabards will die when Kaido reveals his hybrid form.
Kaido’s an Ogre race... we finally get to know what kaido is and it’s an off comment by Marco
i wont be surprised if majority of them die i dont want then too but like in big mom’s arc a HUGE sacrifice will have to be made like a major death or sum
@Mujaahid Arian it’s nuts and no one is talking about it... like Marco didn’t call him any other race or a thing he specifically called him an ogre... Marco would know what race kaido is
@Mujaahid Arian it was a figure of speech. The japanese version he says "hama suru" iirc which is a buddhist figure of speech literally translating to "defeating/killing the demon", usually in reference to achieving victory over worldly desires
@Mujaahid Arian marco is basically saying "i thought we agreed to fight for ideals and not treasure."
I love this guy. He makes videos almost everyday. FOR MULTIPLE CHANNELS. And there all great videos.
I really appreciate the panel and colouring analysis, it makes the rereading a whole new experience.
THIS, THIS IS WHY I LOVE THE WANO ARC! i love how this arc is not about luffy and the strawhats. This is not luffy's fight, this is ODEN'S fight
This was a very shocking chapter. I never would’ve guessed that the vassals would be holding their own against Kaido. I’m really starting to think that Oda maybe be setting up a potential death or victory. Death is the more likely situation though
Exactly. I think Oda’s setting up at least a crushing defeat, if not a death or two for this battle. We’re not even half way through Wano if there’s going to be 5 acts.
Victory....? Don't be delusional. They are not defeating Kaido.
@@Shark-hn4mv Yeah I can see the error in what I said. I don’t think that there will be a victory. I think someone will die
th-cam.com/video/wg2S1zs72CU/w-d-xo.html
I figure Wanda wasn't with the Kaido Attack Force (KAF) because she was sticking close to Nami, Carrot & the other Strawhats. Wanda is a dog -- who are very loyal -- and she seems to have bounded with Nami, while Carrot is her direct subordinate, so It makes sense that she would stay close to them.
On the bit about how hard it is to put comedy in the middle of a serious moment and use that comedy actually bring up the serious situation, I agree. My first thought of a writer that failed to do this would be the director of Dragon Ball Super: Resurrection F. Particularly the scene in the middle of the Goku / Frieza fight where Goku lands a solid one-inch punch on Frieza, only for it to instantly switch... to Beerus and Whis eating a strawberry cake or something. Completely taking away the tension from the scene as they act as a constant reminder that there are no stakes. No one will die with them around. No one will fail. It highlights only the status of the film at large being... well, pointless.
I feel that Oda is one of the few that can clearly translate this because these comedy scenes don't act as any reassurance, or even a pull away. They usually act out as what the people in that scene are actually thinking about right then. Like during the Paramount War with Orz Junior. We're given basically nothing to go off of except how he and Ace briefly met and enjoyed having hats together, yet it doesn't feel like it pulls away from the scene. If anything, it makes it hit harder, even though we know basically nothing about either character.
As for the chapter itself, I'm a bit confused about what Marco is doing or, well, did. I thought he knocked their boat down?
"I think [Oda] has built these guys really masterfully making them appear as wildly incompetent since the days of Punk Hazard and then slowly revealing their more serious sides building up to this very moment."
That makes sense. Characters in One Piece have always had a design philosophy that can be summed up as "equal measures of dumbass and badass."
The panel with the 4 scarrabs holding up two swords is now my favorite. My god that was amazing.
The cover art of yamato standing next to luffy with a determined look certainly gives yet another advantage to her in case of yamato vs carrot for nakama...which makes me happy cause i'm team yamato. Although yeah i also kinda don't like the color gradient of yamato's horns, imo if the yellow were replaced with black it'd be far more striking.
The scroll almost seems like a dial, with all the attack storing and releasing, I think that's quite cool, because the Dials are my favourite device in One Piece, and their powers are great
Ussop will get a scroll
Isn't Black Maria like 8 meters tall? So that shamisen is what, 3-4 meters long?
So how do you tune it?
The notes are just super low, like whalesong
Whalesong, played on a giant shamisen...
Now I can die happy.
like everything good in shounen manga; Will Power
@@Nighzenguxhel just like the admirals' coats staying on their shoulders
Yeah she's that big. Probably sucks in the one piece world to be a tailor or someone who makes utility items because they need to come in so many sizes.
I ALWAYS EXPECT YOU TO NEVER GIVE GAIMON HIS DUE.
GAIMON IS THE ONE PIECE
If you look at the background of the panel with Carrot the same trees that surrounds Big Mom, Perospero and Marco are seen so they are all outside the front entrance of Onigashima.
I’m hyped for this chapter to be animated. The scene with Black Maria is giving me some HxH vibes. You know, that amazing scene with the Phantom Troupe in Yorknew City, when Riot is playing and Chrollo is talking?
Yeah some of us watched that TH-camr too. Lol try and be original
I've been thinking this for a while now, but am i the only one who thinks that oden could've no diffed' kaido? the only reason he lost was because the clone woman turned into momonosuke, distracting him, showing how much he cares for his son
I agree! This chapter felt so short but at the same time I feel like its been forever since we've had a proper fight in the manga so I also loved it!
Do you seriously think zoro doesn't know ryuo by now after trainging with enma and being around luffy who was also training it at the same time? If not that, even before wano, mihawk, the literal best swordsman in the world, could've gave zoro the information. Even before timeskip in alabasta, zoro demonstrated both perception and armament haki in his fight with daz bones so it would make sense narratively to be ahead of luffy in a haki sense or at bare minimum just as strong.
Oden once said to kaido >>> do not understimate my samurais
I love this chapter, after 300 chapters of building up the scabbard's confrontation with Kaido, I'm glad they got almost an entire chapter dedicated to their fight. It's a great payoff, and yet we're still building to the arc's true climax, next week cannot come sooner.
Mrs. Thanh Lau BLACK MARIA has appeared, expected to have land for SANJI, It would be great if Vietsub, channel I come from Vietnam
VIET NAM :D
What ?
The samurais to the op fan base:
Give us our dame respect.
why does it never cross anyone's mind that maybe Razio's scrolls are a devil fruit? he literally calls it the "maki maki no jutsu" just like shinobu
it obviously is lmao
kinemon's power is a devil fruit too. i dont know why raizo would all of a sudden be the first one with powers that dont come from a fruit
They're ninjas. Ninjas have crazy tricks.
@@stevenkunkle3857 But they’ve established in wano that what they call nin jutsu is a devil fruit ability.
@@gilsercrow3590 ohh yeahhh
If you look very closely at the panel with Luffy, Sanji is still with him, he’s just mostly hidden by the speech bubble
I feel like Raizo's scroll is an improvised impact dial.
the impact scroll?(imagine this is the questioning emoji)
That's right Big mom is not fred to do what she wants , she's carrying on mother caramel will. But that's not what caramel wanted since she was an imposter. Big mom has never been free.
Carrot properly heard the beast pirates announcement that Marko and Perospero had arrived on the island a few chapter back, she does have pretty big ears so that could make a lot of sense right?
i like the art and style centered chapter reviews! It is something others dont du and refreshing!
There have been 4 characters whose df ability had something to do and associated with cloth: Diamante's hirahira (imitate) , Kin's fukufuku (create) , Kelly Funk's jakejake (became) and Tsuru's woshuwoshu (impose into).
FANTASTIC PARAMECIAN SPECTRUM, THERE.
But if we take it further by zooming out the scope to the spectrum; there'll be Leo (stitching), Doffy (string), Mont D'Or (book) and possibly Raizo with (paper scroll)-if his power is actually a granted ability from devil fruit, maybe "makimaki/wrap²"-with Inazuma (scissor) and Daz Bonez (slicing) having the antithesis of such spectrum.
I'm getting into one piece and I'm really starting to enjoy this channel
The scroll is just a large, impact dial.
Yeah but much much better since this absorbs the entire attack and not just the force of the attack.
More like a flame dial...
I really wonder if he IS using dials, or he has a devil fruit actually.
I do think that Luffy's panel is a set up for him to finally reach Kaido. Imo, that Togen Totsuka is probably Kin, Inu, Den and Ashura's final attack that will drain their energy completely, then Luffy will appear to continue the fight... This whole scabbards vs Kaido, imo, is just to weaken Kaido enough for Luffy to beat, similar to how Law weakened Doffy with his gamma knife.
Kiado is just goofing around, he haven't yet used any haki or bagua(weapon he carry),he's just saving his true energy for main fight.....remember how insane fight with doflamingo was now it will be most badass....
I think this time Maria playing the instrument might signify a shift in battle to kaido's side by the end of part 3
The color spread was great. I love seeing Jinbei with the crew
Do y’all think oda thinks about the anime when writing the manga. Lately I feel the flashbacks and setups feel like they would be amazing in the anime
Yeah but the animators are shit
@@hajorm.a3474 they have their moments but the decision to make one piece a weekly show kinda hurts it with boring episodes
Man I know a lot of people that dropped the anime just because the quality got worse every episode...
Kaido being incompetent in full zoan form is inline with what we know of Zoan types.
Fun fact: Oden had his right hand upon his head while scabbards mimicking him with left hand on top of their head
This chapter reminded me of Pokemon Emerald when you climbed Sky Tower to defeat Rayquaza
Oden learned his nitoryou technique from subscribing to the grand line review for regular one piece content straight into his feed
I got my berries saying the carrot running along with luffy is forshadowing she is gonna join the crew
Okay, this subscribe running gag hit me harder today. I am still laughing
what a great chapter to come back from.(especially the fact it came out on my little brothers birthday.:3)
a fun focus on the scabbards showing how hellbent to the death they are to erase kaido(raizo deflecting kaido's breath attack was awesome,makes raizo even more my favorite of the vassals and them getting a hit on kaido/about to land one on his oden given scar shows them learning the strategy needed to get an advantage on kaido without any support like last time they fought.hope the luffy scene leads to the other strawhats/at least him & zoro helping out.),carrot doing something towards perospero(she strangely didn't do much until then just adding as to why i don't think she'll be a strawhat but i'm interested in how it will go with wanda going with her especially.) ,liked seeing more of yamato(i remember speed and wish she'd show up again.i like the devil red horns i think fits the aesthetic of wano along with her dr. stone esque hair.also like she's with luffy on the cover and it has a brief picture of demon slayer on it,makes me want another jump super/ultimate stars game from ganbarion having luffy mentioning wano's events to tanjuro,nezuko or inosuke.) and big mom's talk with marco.(shows her being a bit more casual with her anger being focused on luffy/the strawhats by mostly proxy and especially towards the commander of a person she hated likely as much as kaido,though i kinda knew the marco-perospero moments were about going after kaido though i hope he gets the other charlotte siblings involved and wasn't just for carrot to get revenge.)
also liked the color spread(grandlinereviewer should do a top 10 cover spreads/cover pages since he did do list for cover art.) and think black maria's moment might lead to something(like a turn to kaido's strike,a look outside wano since there's that tease/art of vivi in wano attire or someone else getting involved since there's moriah/perona,the sun pirates,some of the grand fleet,we haven't seen kuzan in any of the blackbeard pirates scenes only a mention or even an unknown turn.)
Great panel analysis! I’m new to reading manga so those patterns don’t particularly stand out to me. Great insight! So many beautiful layers to this type media.
All of this talk of Yamato's hair made me imagine Yamato's hair styled to look like Oden's. A bizarre image to be sure.
Yeah, i also didn't expected Carrot to get a panel this big and even be infront and center of....oh wait you talking about that fight between the Scabbards and Kaido... nevermind.😑
btw. Isn't Ryuo the same thing as Haki but just different words like with Mantra in Skypia?🤔
Mangaplus worked better this week. I read it vertically but the 2 page spreads weren't cut. It took them long enough but finally they fixed it
So this is what it feels to read weekly
This chapter made me more excited for Big Mom, it was really cool seeing Perospero doing the "we want to see you become Pirate King" thing which reminds us that despite being an asshat the dream for their crew is still the same as Luffy's. I think Big Mom's response that she has a plan definitely suggests some kinda betrayal is in the works. Maybe Kaido is strategic enough to actually commit to an alliance in the face of whatever the World Government is doing, but remember that Big Mom is a child who's only interest is immediate gratification.
I just wanted to say I'm a big fan and I enjoy your content keep it up ❤
I think the Luffy panel is to imply that he's on his way to the battlefield to join the vassals and Kaido
If you go on the wiki it says razio ate the maki maki no mi devil fruit
You do the best at asking people to subscribe to your channel for good one piece content
My favorite part was Raizo and his scroll, and the reverse Boro Breath!
I am still SHOOK by that. I love his unique skill set. Everyone else has swords, and of course Inu with the guns, and Raizo pulls out a scroll.
You definitely don't expect it because he's been using the Ninja Kunai.
When I saw the Sanji vs X. Drake fight I realised that there are at least 11 super human abilities that you can get excluding Devil fruits.
Some are not that well explained and I may be wrong but I tried to count and that's what I came up with :
1. Obviously Haki.(Busoshoku)
2. Observation Haki.(Kenbunshoku)
[I personally don't want to belive that you can't aquarie Conquerers Haki throught training and mental/spiritual growths as well as growth of personality but at this point it's pretty much confirmed so I won't count it in.]
---.The 6 Powers. First showcased in the CP9 arc.
I count them as seven
3.Iron Body(Tekkai){1}
4.Moon Walk(Geppo){2}
5.Shave(Soru){3}
6.Tempest Kick/Storm Leg(Rankyaku){4}
7.Finger Pistol/Gun(Shigan){5}
8.Paper Movement(Kami-e){6}
8.Six King Gun(Rakuogan){7}
[Double Fist punch Wich can course internal damage]
And finally
ELEMENT BENDING!
That just a joke but when you thing about it :
9.Fire
(Sanji uses it to armor his leg.
Still don't the fuck know how
that should work without any
movement...)
10.Water
(Fishman Karate users can control water with just bodymovements.
I think Jinbei collected water out of thin air at one occasion.And there are other examples.
Maybe a Fishman only skill Wich I don't believe)
11.Wind
(Sword Wind Slashes...
I thing I don't need to say more.
Maybe doesn't count because it's basically one of the Six Powers : Rankyaku)
12.Electricity
(Mink Tribe combat skill.
Limited to furry creatures.)
Also there was one one guy from CP9 who could control his hair/body with his mind/spirit.
I think that's what Zoro's Gorilla Muscle Power Ups are.
And you may even count in the new Flowing Hako.
There may be more we don't know jet.
Like I said some are just speculation but it's really cool how a normal person can rise to the top only with will power and training.
Did anyone ever think that, maybe, just maybe, kaido is “weaker” in his dragon form?
i thought about it i just refuse to believe it
Not really “weaker” but his strengths kinda change a bit like how Gear 4 Snakeman is more useful for some situations than Bounceman.
I think he is a bit tankier and has more wide range raw destructive power. He can't really level entire countryside in his normal form. But i would say he is more agile and stronger when it comes to fighting one on one. Normaly the Boro breath would deal with groups, but Kinemon and Raizo just nullify this. Also he is a much easier target to hit as a huge dragon.
Kaido Dragon form is not weak. It is just a gigantic a easy target for small and normal size Peoples in Compare to Kaido. For doing Massive Destruction the Dragon form is perfect because he can destroy much space and places quicker and with ease with his Boro breath and climate powers related to his fruit. But his body is easy to hit due to the enormous size, and everyone that we had saw Kaido face from Luffy to the Scabbards now they are Strong and fast Opponents. They can dodge Kaido slow movements because of his weight that slows him dowm and hit a lot Kaido since in his Dragon form he is full of openings.
Kaido needs to go to Human Form or Hybrid form, so he can be in a state when he can fight with more Versatility, because his Dragon Form lacks Versatility, Speed and is a big target full of weak spots and openings, but his Dragon form is the form were he have more destructive power and force. But even at his Human Form or his Hybrid form(That I hope he have) his Strength his gigantic that rivals and is superior to Big Mom Level of strength.
maybe Dragon form is leaning more towards offensive while Human form towards defensive.
I think it was a different reason for Wanda not being involved in the Sulong battle, as Carrot was shown in Whole Cake Island to be able to utilize Sulong just fine, but she wasn't apart of the fight
Man I love the Grand Line Review
I'm with you about Carrot's action in this chapter. Like, Oda, please show stuff; transitions are your friend! It would have held a lot more weight if there was content focusing on Carrot actually spotting Perospero in 991. Hopefully, the anime fills in the blank on that.
The Shamisen sounds like a fancy banjo, but I’mma be honest:
I’m excited for the anime’s music for this
Guys we really bout to get Luffy vs Kaido round 2 soon im so hype
I saw a post that presented a really good idea. As of this chapter it appears that Kawamatsu has been blown away by Kaido. What if each chapter following this another scabbard falls. Which would perfectly take us to chapter 1000 when all of them are ultimately defeated.
I’m seeing a trend in the chapter review thumbnails
hmm....outside of a flashback arc, would this have been the first One Piece chapter, where Luffy wasn't featured, had it not been for that one small panel?
I believe Luffy's panel is a hint of him and carrot somehow winding up together. I also believe that Carrot will be very injured (if not killed) by perospero so maybe both panels are a small hint of Luffy seeingher in trouble and going to help her having a small clash against perospero and big mom where Marco would probably intervene so Luffy would take Carrot away from there and keep going towards Kaido while we have an epic Marco fight going on in the background
I feel like that would be kinda undermine Carrot's resolve like if Inu and Neko never got to kick Jack's teeth in for what he did in Zou. The Moon's out and Marco and Wanda are around she should be fine plus Luffy's a man on a mission right now.
@@visionaryvjae5641 I agree with you. She'd probably get a few good hits in, but at some point she'd be defeated. I mean it's Perospero and Big Mom she can't do anything against both of them
@@tristandepakistan9947 That's true but I doubt Big Mom will still be around by the time Carrot gets there. BM is a whole yonko I doubt she'd spend her time babysitting Perospero the entire war. BM also has an obsession with Luffy and will likely go try to thwart his ascension so she can kill him herself. So BM will probably leave Carrot and Wanda to Perospero. Perospero himself will probably want to payback his lost arm to some of the minks particularly Carrot because he knows she was with the strawhats at the time.
The only way I can see BM and Perospero staying together the whole war is if Perospero actively follows BM but Carrot will likely intercept Perospero and BM won't help him especially against normal form Carrot she'll just trust he'll get the job done.
@@visionaryvjae5641 not the whole war. More like a momentary clash were Carrot and Luffy see them together at the time. After Luffy saving Carrot and Marco covering him he'll probably fight one of them while the other gets distracted with something else. But the moment Carrot arrives I think she'll get there in time to find both. But this is wild speculation of course
@@tristandepakistan9947 I guess if Luffy really gets distracted from going up to the roof and Big Mom reduces her thirst for Luffy's blood long enough for Carrot to find BM and Perospero still together it's possible.
