Same thing with Caesar and Luffy where it took him likr 5 minutes of struggling to blow him away. If you read the manga, which is btw 10 times better than the anime, then you see that they were trading blows evenly. | ||

Yeah the birdcage plot already felt slow, but flash backs and sobbing to declare the winner seems like filler the anime would use. Still good to confirm DD is beaten right? Bird cage gone so must be, would have liked a hint where the post arc wrap up is going. | ||

Gol. D Roger Whitebeard Garp Sengoku Shiki etc. Then there's the middle generation who are now the ones in power and tend to be around 40 years old, although the admirals tend to be in their 50s: Doflamingo 41 yrs old Smoker 36 yrs old Blackbeard 40 yrs old Shanks 39 yrs old Akainu 55 yrs old Kuzan 49 yrs old And then finally we get the new generation: Luffy 19 yrs old Coby ??? Law 26 Kid 23 I think the will of Roger was passed on to Shanks (for safekeeping) until the true inheritor would be found, Luffy. It is symbolized by the Straw Hat which is usually assumed to have gone from Roger -> Shanks -> Luffy. I'd look at the role of renegade marine going from Garp -> Kuzan -> Coby. Coby isn't ready yet to take up the mantle, but he was willing to stand up to Akainu who is now the leader of the marines and I'd expect him to eventually become quite powerful. Perhaps Whitebeard -> Blackbeard. Blackbeard may end up being like an evil version of Whitebeard and is now the primary rival to Shanks just like Whitebeard was the primary rival to Roger. That could eventually lead back to either Kid or Law picking up where Blackbeard leaves off and bringing that rivalry back to a more healthy state with Luffy. And then there could be Shiki -> Doflamingo -> Law (or Bellamy). Kind of the wild card crazy rivals. However, I don't think the series is so neatly ordered. I think the new generation is meant to take over for the middle generation just as we've seen the last vestiges of the old generation move on during/after the War of the Best and let the middle generation take control. There just won't be a neat 1 to 1 takeover and the characters who take over the roles won't have exactly the same personality as the guys they replace. Like, Akainu took over for Sengoku. Sengoku was a strategist and could be brutal if necessary, but he didn't seem to enjoy brutality. Akainu seems to enjoy brutality if it means getting closer to his ends. So the transition is messy, not orderly, as it is in most interesting stories. Natural connections can be made from one generation to the next, but only the Roger -> Shanks -> Luffy connection seems to be explicit. The others seem to be very loosely connected and in some cases, may not have a connection at all. | ||

not saying Luffy doesnt get serious but in a different way i think the Will of D jumped straight to Luffy and honestly i think for Akainu brutality is the end not a means | ||

Yes, the anime production quality is quite atrocious these days but used to be stellar. Since when did anybody of authority state that the anime is not canon, excluding movies and filler episodes? | ||

Shanks is a lighthearted captain who loves joking with Luffy and his crew. He even laughs off getting semi-attacked by the bandits. At that point, he only got serious when one of his friends was in danger. Makino: "Captain, you seem to be happy as always." Shanks: "Yep. Making fun of him is my joy." Also, Beckman: "That kid's gonna be big." Shanks: "I know. Because he reminds me of my early years." I'd bet Shanks reminded Roger of his early years too when Shanks was a cabin boy on his ship. The problem is that there's no indication that Shanks is a D, so he can't inherit the will of D. Instead, I think he was a caretaker of that will until the true heir would make himself apparent. Shanks must have decided that the true heir was Luffy and was willing to lose an arm for him and then give Luffy his hat, symbolizing the passing of that will. I'd agree with you on Akainu, except that he let Aokiji live. Akainu seems to be about absolute justice and he feels that anything the Marines do in pursuit of killing pirates is justified. He even killed fellow marines who ran from a fight with pirates. However, in the case of Aokiji, even though he left the marines, he's still going to fight pirates in his own way. So to Akainu, that seems to be acceptable. He has a lot more depth than a purely brutal character. | ||

Wouldn't it be possible for Oda to emphasize some aspects of the series later in the anime that were lost or cannot be illustrated properly (such as sounds) in the manga? | ||
