 Croom Punk Clash Hello my Nakamotachi, this is Joygirl here to talk about the most recent chapter and oh boy Is this controversial the title of chapter one thousand and thirty is echoing the impermanence of all things And I think most of us would be inclined to agree with farmer Frank's comment on our reaction stream That the title might be a tongue-in-cheek joke about the way that deaths are handled in one piece But in the chapter we were given a lot of updates and we're given a peek at some new awakenings So make sure to stick around until the end of the video for a full discussion And if you enjoy our chapter discussions and would like to hear more, please hit that subscribe button But before we get into the chapter itself Let's first congratulate the winners of this week's discord artwork competition where the challenge was to draw kid and killers Backstory to their relationship in third place We have Irvin who has depicted a romance of sorts between the two partners and if you ask me I think they're just deeply admiring each other's hairstyles in second place We have Gyatsuki's short comic and I just love how wholesome this is the shared dream Promise and the fist bump as the two boys walk off into the sunset really has me feeling some sort of way And before we announce first place, let's give an honorable mention to sir rusky who unfortunately didn't finish in time So here's to hoping we can see the completed artwork soon because this seems to be another very promising comic But moving on to first place We have pocky aki our reigning champion pocky aki's first digital artwork submission is everything the joy fleet has come to love about His artworks the comedy the bright colors and the story it tells bravo pocky Bravo a huge congratulation to all of our winners and as always a big thank you to everyone for participating Now let's get on to the review this chapter gave us updates on multiple fronts starting with a scene with Drake and a poo as The latter is seen urging Drake to form an alliance and stating that they should take advantage of the fact that once each side has Exhausted the other it'll be easier for them to take everyone down Which is an interesting idea coming from a poo because I think this is the first time I heard a poo talking about claiming the big prize And he makes me more curious as to his character Motivations throughout the arc a poo hadn't ever shown us this ambitious side of him considering who he's planning to betray Whereas we know why Drake has a reason to beat everyone the same can't be said for a poo Whether a poo even has the ability to take over even after everyone is exhausted is another question But he seemed to be confident having the numbers behind him Which suggests that a poo is confident enough in their abilities The numbers have intrigued me for the first time in this raid as the three shown in this chapter seem to be the closest to Being feeling humanoids then what we've seen with previous numbers these three are interestingly enough Seemingly just chilling rather than causing a rampage unlike the other numbers we've seen before So I'm looking forward to seeing more from these numbers Which does come with a little bit of worry attached to it considering how the rest of the numbers have been used in this arc And these three that we've seen in this chapter seems like a good opportunity to do something interesting with them Like perhaps being the first three numbers to have been experimented on and add that to the theory already Floating around that these three are perhaps the numbers created from the three samurai's seen in Yamato's flashback in chapter 1024 then the expectation heightens but whether this theory has any merit to it or not I think we can all agree that the idea of the numbers being created from regular humans Perhaps those who had a post-kaito in the past is an interesting concept and would continue the idea of cool Experiments that we've seen throughout the series notably in punk hazard where the process of artificial Joginification was first introduced and of course the smile Experimentation introduced in the same arc and was delved deeper into at one Kino Monkiku and Kanjiro being alive. There's no surprises there because as you guys know when it comes to death in the series I've always been on the Pelt until proven train We've seen this happen in the series over and over and expecting otherwise is setting yourself up for disappointment But that's not to say that criticism on how deaths are handled is not valid No, in fact It's natural to feel that way about a series that you love and have high standards for and as an audience You may expect the series to mature with you But then again just because we feel that way doesn't mean that the author himself has to adjust to us And I explore this matter of death and how Oda seems to actually feel on this matter more deeply in this discussion So I highly recommend you check that discussion out and as for the reveal that these characters are alive I personally didn't mind it considering my stance as I've always been pushing the idea that the scabbards will need to Be present at the party at the end of Wano and witness Wano's borders opening the very thing that they're fighting for First hand with their own eyes and I firmly still hold the belief that this will happen I do however have a slight issue with how Kino Monk was revealed to have survived the first time I read the chapter I gotta admit this is something that I didn't delve into too much with my thoughts But upon rereading the chapter I realized that I may not be a fan of this idea look as much as I love the Goofiness and one piece I think conveniently using something we've seen in the past Which was shown as a plot device to move to connect the plot and was used as a comedy to now Resolve something as serious as a major side characters death Especially after showing that death in such a dramatic fashion only for it to be resolved this way as a reader who loves the series I can't help but feel Meh a certain way about it or rather an uncertain way Especially when it comes to something like fake-out deaths, which is something that fans have already been voicing that is tasteful for quite some time So whilst I'm not in the same boat as those who dislike the chapter because of the reveal of the three fake-out deaths I do understand it on some level because of how I now feel about the segment with Kino Monk Also that explanation brought up some questions such as wouldn't Kino Monk have felt anything Unusual about his body if it wasn't reattached completely Considering the nature of foreshadowing one piece you would think that this is something that we would have seen planted somewhere earlier So having this explanation kind of makes it feel like either a last-minute decision or a whatever idea It doesn't have the feeling of it being planned out or at least not planned out thoroughly or smoothly The other question is how capable is law actually as a surgeon if he can't properly Reattach the bodies he severed because I've usually thought of laws ability to be an instant cut and paste with the pasting Involving bodies returning to their original form But now it's been confirmed that reattaching body parts requires more input from law and that hasn't been completed in the case with Kino Monk and so then that doesn't really reflect well on laws ability as a surgeon does it? I mean I'd always thought of law as someone who leaves no room for error That is of course going on the assumption that law fix Kino Monk himself Which is the assumption I always had but since we had only seen the straw hats put him back together Then this could be the explanation used for Kino Mon not being put back together correctly But I don't think this necessarily makes it better because the first question of how Kino Mon never noticed this non-alignment of his body still applies It does make it entertaining if you embrace the goofiness of the idea because of the straw hats's inability in piecing Kino Monk back together Somehow saved his life huh sort of like kids missing arm in the last chapter and when things like this It's hard not to keep diving in with questions because at the end of the day We just want to make sense out of it, but again I love the goofiness in general but with a development as serious as this unless Oda surprises me with further explanation This just doesn't feel as well thought out or doesn't feel like it's quite justified But at the end of the day, this is just a personal opinion and it doesn't take away from how good the series has been Especially the current arc so to summarize I do like that the characters are alive But how the explanation of how Kino Mon survived makes me feel a little iffy that being said we could just pin This to Kino Mon's incredible luck as for Kanjiro's final act I'm excited to see where this leads to as we get another obstacle for the allies to overcome And perhaps will give some of those who haven't had much highlights in the raid to help showcase more of their abilities If I had to put money on this my bet is on Usub who was seen in this chapter following Kino Mon's request to save Kiku and Kino Mon's other half and we're talking literal other half not Surui over here and Usub may run into the Kazenbo on the way or Yamato who was on the way to diffuse the bombs and will perhaps be tested against the Kazenbo as a Hindrance to their objectives apart from plot development I like this segment between Orochi and Kanjiro quite a lot It really made the chapter feel like as a part of a play Orochi's foreboding words of doom was audible and really raised Attention to make me get ready to watch things unfold We also got plenty of mini updates in this chapter with my favorite being these panel shots of the Monster Trio fighting their respective opponents But the one that really piqued my interest is seeing the update on CP zero now out and about and seem to be heading somewhere in the panel Before this we see Robin and Brooke and considering CP zero's objective of capturing Niko Robin It seems that these two groups will collide sooner than later getting to the main event now We have the kid and law versus big mom fight which seems to be taking the main focus now Which I find surprising because I thought this fight would finish up after Zoro and Sanji's matchups And will be the final fight to be resolved just before Luffy's fight against Kaido Considering that big mom herself is a Yonko like Kaido So it's natural to think that the fights will be shown in that order and that could still of course happen because it's not like we saw This fight and yet but what we did see are some interesting abilities from both law and kid I know that there are some complaints about this segment too with some feeling that the pacing to the lead up to this was off Or that these awakenings came out of nowhere with seemingly no prior build up personally I'm again not on that boat and I'm gonna hold out until we see more of this develop before expressing my thoughts on how I feel about how this has been handled Seeing the awakenings here does obviously bring up questions for the future as well And whether this means we'll also see Luffy's awakening in the arc But for now, I'm just going to enjoy how cool these awakenings were I thought what we saw with kid and law in this chapter was quite fun I really like the team up aspect of it and found it hilarious when law told kid not to tell him what to do As he was about to do exactly just that which is a hilarious reminder of law's interaction with his fellow supernovas back on the rooftop So I like seeing the consistency of law's tsundere vibe also for the awakenings themselves. I found them super cool I thought law's krum was really interesting and it seems to have had a good enough effect on big mum to make her look Vulnerable without even playing into her emotions It's quite strange to see big mum in this predicament and the way it bothers her Considering how much of a powerhouse she's been portrayed to be And it really feels like they're getting closer and closer to figuring out how to take the yonko down Of course, I'm confidently stating yet again that kid will show out But I do want further explanation on kid's cool ability It seems to have been activated from a closer distance as seen with law having to teleport kid away from the incoming pile of metals Hurtling towards big mum I've always liked magnetic powers and it'd be interesting to get an explanation on how the magnetism works in this case Such as whether it's the manipulation of iron in an individual's blood It was also stated that the stamina consumption of using their awakened abilities is extreme and ensures that they'll lose the battle So it'll be interesting to see what's next in the development of this battle because I'm sure this fight is not yet over And we will see more from big mum herself and I highly anticipate the same for our worst generation members Overall, I think this is another good chapter It might be remembered for a different reason considering the amount of consistently great chapters we've been getting But I really appreciate all the updates, especially for characters We haven't seen in a while and even if there's that little bit that I don't quite like I don't think it negates how good wano has consistently been in my opinion And I'm sure we will get more epic chapters to come But now that you've heard my thoughts, let me know yours by leaving comment below Please don't forget to hit that like share and subscribe button for more one piece discussions And you can also join our joy fleek discord server for more one piece related fun You can even become a patron member to get certain roles and powers within that server And thank you to our patrons for help supporting the channel.
