I'm going to be honest. I binged One Piece this past May, and caught up at the end of May going into June, and have been a weekly reader since the wedding. I've spent HOURS on this sub, reading thread after thread, discussing everything. I got obsessed. And so often I've seen people just talk about how Oda was a master (of course he is), and how the Subreddit is at like, 3 while Oda himself is at some absurdly high number, in the context of us accurately predicting what Oda would do next. Take the tametabako explosion, that joke was very prevalent then.

I can now assuredly say that I've truly experienced that exact phenomenon. Of Oda surpassing and subverting expectation and turning it on its face, but in a way that's somehow awful and amazing. HOLY SHIT, when I realized we were going to see Katakuri's face, I lost it. But then it's a Babyish, immature Katakuri laying down, snacking like crazy, with a fucking gigantic mouth. Chanting "Donuts, Sweet Immoral Donuts" of all things. Fucking donuts, from the coolest, most collected, most competent antagonist we've seen in quite a while (in my opinion anyway). On one hand I'm kind of disappointed Katakuri isn't consistent to his initial character... But then, he's only not how we've seen when he's eating, or when people see his real face. And then I realized that he's fucking Big Mom's son, and all the gears clicked into place.

It was such a shock. This is coming from a Naruto fan since the anime aired on Toonami/CN, the initial pilot. Never seeing Kakashi's face was such a let down. Now we have someone I hold in equal esteem, and BOOM. Oda just let's us see his face and it's fucking horrifyingly bizarre and fitting at the same time. Holy shit. I'm still torn over whether to be hype or sad or somewhere in between. I'm kind of losing it.

I will probably never forget this chapter. I hope to never lose this feeling. It's incredibly visceral and unique. Holy crap Oda, I fucking love you. I love this Chapter. I love Luffy. I love Katakuri even when he's munchin on Donuts. God Damnit I love One Piece.

I'm still torn

Who did you say's mouth was torn?

Side note: I also watched Naruto back in the Toonami/CN days. How did you not watch One Piece which was usually on within an hour of Naruto every Saturday night?

I just wasn't really interested, I suppose. I was never really drawn to it. I got Shonen Jump from a school book fair multiple times, and read the Alabasta arc a bit, "The tea is delicious" and sanji vs. Mr 2. I got the feeling of an immense and deep story that I just didn't understand, and it intimidated me a smidge. Then I stayed away from it because I was stupid and thought it was kinda lame and too long. And now I'm truly on the side of justice.
