episode 193: The Battle Ends! Proud Fantasia Echoes Far!

love that this episode opens with luffy literally falling to his (not) death.

i love that he is moved to tears. Gan Fall always believed. and that's why he's the GOAT of this arc (tied with Conis and Wyper and-). also find it funny that poor chopper and sanji who were knocked tf out for most of it just woke up and were fine lol.

i like this too because this arc is just as much about moving forward as it is about remembering the past.

aww wtf the snake is crying??? i did not expect that! my heart!!!

i'm glad cricket and the monkey lads got what they needed. they deserve it.

aaand there it is! what a good twist. that reveal was terrifying, but it makes sense! love this little bit of lore.

this is so sweet. cricked genuinely believed in them the whole time. that much was apparent. but he can finally rest easy, and start living his own life on his own terms.

i wonder where eneru and his ship will end up. but there is water below them, and he's a devil fruit eater, so...

again, love that the shandians finally get to just.. live now. i can't imagine waiting lifetimes for a promise that seemingly would never come.

on one hand, this is adorable, but i do dislike that one piece will often just slay people left and right only to say "they're fine! they were just sleeping" later on. really takes away a lot of the dramatic tension. this is of course applicable to many other manga and many other forms of media as a whole, but still.

im fucking CRYING i ugly laughed why is he just LAYING DOWN THERE????

i find it funny that the one thing they could have actually stolen they a) didn't want to actually steal and b) is gone forever now.

the giant gold ball being rolled up as if everyone doesn't literally know exactly what it is is so funny.

again, i get it, oda. but his death was actually super justified and impactful.

i'm glad we got a resolution here. he talked about them a lot, and it's good that they actually got a kinda happy ending.

oh i didn't realize that was the food reserves, that's a good joke!

i get that he is kinda alive, but why the moon? did they break him? is he insane? feels kinda anticlimactic.

love this little line. it's the land that welcomes all, time after time, even if the people do not.

this is a solid ending.

i do like this arc, but a lot of people think it is one of the weaker ones, especially between alabasta and water seven coming up. i am inclined to agree. eneru is a cool villain but he never has that wow factor that some of the others have. he is just... cool? but he also gets fucking bodied instantly. we have like, 2 episodes of fighting him. granted, the shandians and noland are a great twist in the arc, and honestly my favorite part was Calgara and noland's bromance. the sky people are cool, and the priests are too, but eneru as a villain and not having the plot revolve around how evil he is means that the focus is elsewhere, and i think his displays of power really fall flat when you see him get bodied by luffy without a huge and distinct amount of effort.

I (probably) have hyposmia (extremely weak/flakey sense of smell) and I'm always happy when Jackson finds a way to bring up the fact that Gregor has anosmia (no sense of smell)

Ep 193, Gregor comments that he's self-conscious about possibly smelling bad, because he can't check himself. He turns down a flower hes been told has a bad smell, and asks Ashe to check that he smells okay

I had to pause the video because that's something I worry about every day!! Down to "avoiding things I've been told smell bad because I won't be able to tell if the smell gets on me," which is a massive concern of mine! Asking friends/family to double check you smell okay!! I do that!!!!!

I don't know if Jackson himself has a smelling disorder, did some research, or just thought about how not having a sense of smell would impact Gregor. Either way, I love how it's been handled so far. It feels really cool :]

The Vase Scene, manga vs. anime

Manga:

Anime:

In the manga, Kawaki throws the table to stall Naruto because he got frightened by the man’s sudden movement. In the anime, he throws the table because he gets mad at Boruto’s words. In other words, in the manga he acts out of fear, and in the anime he acts out of anger. Honestly, I prefer the manga version. Changing the scene also creates a bit of a problem: in the manga, as you can see, Naruto shows Kawaki his power, and the boy comes to the conclusion that it would be useless to try to escape from him, which is why he becomes far more cooperative than he first was. But in the anime? Naruto gives Kawaki no such a scare, so unless he does that in the next episode, then the animators just created themselves a quite plothole.

Maybe og Elias was still a little bit there until the eyepocolipse happened. Maybe Jonah murdering Jurgen Leitner was partially motivated by og Elias? After he gets possessed, Elias learns about the entities and the Lietners so when he runs into him unexpected, it doesn’t take much to convince Jonah that it’s what he wants.

it's cute how much they like roleplaying as if they were dating
