I liked this chapter because Natsu had a humble moment. He always has a huge ego so it's nice to see him somewhat mature here XD Mashima couldn't go without his usual cleavage peek though...

I was hoping Natsu would win but i guess i'm okay with this conclusion. Anyways, i can't wait to see what Mest can do. If they took the quiet path then that means they'll face the death guy or run into Cana and Lucy.

I did. But that doesn't mean I don't acknowledge Oda's ability to bring out epic fights. But in the end, I still prefer Kishi over Oda for his strong storytelling. Hence, why I said Kishi AND Oda. (in other words, Kishi #1 Oda #2)

Kishi. And strong storytelling?

Armadillo private parts are part of that too?

If you try to compare this to a suspicius looking woman offering a cucumber to the others in a even more SUSPICIUS pose, I guess I can say Oda and Kishi are in the same boat.

Yup..... anyways, why I prefer Kishi over Oda is because Kishi's storytelling strikes a chord in me more than Oda (minus Sasuke crap). That, and combined with his amazing artwork, it becomes a masterpiece. As for Oda, it's just like DBZ with barely anything strong emanating from it. The only thing it has are epic fights. Period.

I didn't think armadillo private parts are anything amazing. And Naruto's combat is pretty much DBZ as well, I don't see how it's any different. There are some epic parts, but honestly. Most of it's just powering up 3000 times a chapter.

[TheBerserkMoogle]

So, what about that latest episode? I thought it was pretty cool. They did a great job with animation, though I do think they ventured to make everyone look more... "Smoothed up" than they normally do. It's fine mostly, but I think maybe they should stick with the more rugged appearance with the guys.

Before the mods kill me for going off-topic, this will be my last argument. Yes, it's just about the same for both of them. The only difference is that OP focuses on battles instead of character and plot development.

I'd say the composition would be: 70% battles
20% character development
10% plot development

For Naruto: 45% battles
35% character development
20% plot development

as a person who prefers plot and character over battles, you can see where my choices lie. And besides, the character development for each arc seems to be..... short-lived. Plot?? we barely got anything out of OP or about WG and that's after 600 chapters. And each arc is also too dragged out IMO. And it's because the battles take up too much space.

[harry4e]

10% plot development? You do know that even the front pages in One Piece are plot driven allot of times? I was reading the Albastra arc today and noticed the front covers had Hachin and Camie on it, this is two hundred chapters before Camie was introduced in the actual story line, we were given an idea where and what the rest of the crew were upto during some of the cover pages, The CP9 story after their defeat has been explained in these covers. The way Oda has planned his story out so many years in advance is amazing, He introduced Haki almost a decade before Luffy even unlocked it. And if you cannot see how plot driven One Piece is I truelly feel sorry for you.

Battles are a given but atleast you can see how they defeated the enemy and it's a believable victory for the Straw Hats, and if it's a story about being the Pirate King Luffy has to be seen getting stronger so we can beleive he has earned the title of Pirate King.

[Codus N]

What I mean is the grand scheme of things as a whole.

What is OP?? is it really a treasure? or is it something else??
What about WG?? what's really behind it?? why do they want to keep the poneglyphs a secret?? above all, it's been nearly 200 chapters since Enies Lobby arc. And we still don't have a single clue/hint of what it could be.

Will of D?? still not clear enough. But definitely better than the last 2 because we at least have a good idea of what it likely is.

This is what I mean by few developments. Not those plot developments in one-shot adventures. What I prefer is plot developments in the long term. And Caimie and Hachi DOES NOT COUNT.

Well, I don't wanna have the mods burning my ass on fire, so if you wanna take this further, PM me.

Yes, please to be sticking to the topic at hand or port the discussion over to the One Piece thread.

Back on topic, I loved the verysmallifyoublinkedyou'dmissit Lucy/Gray in Ep 51, and I loved the 'running gag' of Happy and his 'he/she liiiiikes you'. It's funny when he rolls his tongue with the word like that =p

Lol, that's what i thought too. Chapter was okay though, so i wonder when the other two chapters will be released?

[TheBerserkMoogle]

Eh they're either doing it all today, or they're doing it one day at a time. One could be released tomorrow, and the next after that.
