In the past few days, I received a lot of answer in my thread Chopper vs. Bellamy. Some of them rated Bellamy clearly above Chopper (post-TS), even with his Monster Point form. Though it wasn't really their point, it reminded of something I have been wondering since the Fishmen Island arc: Could the new Monster Choper be weaker than the old one?
Monster Point Pre Timeskip vs. Post Timeskip
Pretty strange question isn't it ? Characters usually become stronger through time (at least while they're in their youth). But Chopper's case is particular, as his transformation is now under control, which was not the case at Enies Lobby or at Sabaody.
When we first witnessed Monster Chopper, I was amazed. The dude was a complete savage and his cry was really impressive. And let's not forget the way he threw Kumadori like a garbage. But post-TS, Monster Point has been rather disappointing. Like Chopper in general, but especially Monster Point, given the effect it had on me the first time I saw it.
So that leads to the question: Does the fact that Choper can control his Monster Point form increase his strength, or on the contrary, does it inhibit it?
Do you remember when Chopper first turned into his Monster Point form at Enies Lobby. He almost lost his humanity. He became a monster.
Spoiler: Monster
After Chopper kicked Kumadori's asses, Robin described his transformation as awakening. While the exact definition of this term is still unknown, we know it increases its users' abilities.
But let's think about the Zoan users in particular. Remember the four awakened Zoan guardians of Impel Down :
Those guys were barely human. Which makes me think that a Zoan awakening doesn't only increases its owner's strength : it also makes him assimilate the animal/creature his fruit corresponds with.
Back to Chopper. He ate the Hito Hito no Mi, the fruit of the human. So why did he lose a part his humanity when he ate three rumble balls ?
Maybe because of the very definition of humans : they are animals. Some of them may think themselves as superiors, but in the end they're nothing more than children of Mother Nature (this one is a risky assumption, I really don't know how Oda views mankind).
Chopper can now transform into Monster Chopper with one Rumble Ball. What will happen if he takes two ? Or three ? Will he reached humankind in its purest form, that of an animal ?
Spoiler: PS
If that were to happen, I think we could see a very emotional moment, and at the same time it wouldn't be a complete farewell, as Chopper would remain the crew's pet (a true one this time), so he would still remain a Straw Hat.
Back at Fishman Island Luffy declared war on Big Mom and said he would kick her a$$ all over the New World, but many of you think that will not happen and that a Luffy and Big Mom alliance is more convenient, but I do not think so. I think Big Mom will go down this arc or another time.
Okay to my question, I was wondering what Luffy meant by this statement? Does that mean Luffy has more skills and techniques up his sleeve than what he's shown us?

Ch. 857 Rook
Chopper and the others call out to Luffy and Sanji from the mirror world.
Sanji is surprised to hear their voice from a nearby dropped mirror.
Luffy and Chopper confirm each other's situation.
Luffy tells them that they're gonna crash the tea party and wedding ceremony.
Jinbei tells them that the ministers met so far are the tip of the iceberg of the Big Mom pirates and those veterans will be attending the tea party.
And they will also have to take into account the lords of the underworld that were invited from many countries.
Jinbe then starts to talk about Bege's true colors.
In the West Blue, there were 5 strong mafia that controlled the underworld society.
One of the bosses was Bege, and he was a cruel man who enjoyed cutting the heads off of animals and watching them squirm.
Back in his gang days, he targeted the other bosses, but he was only interested in taking their heads, not showing any interest in area or territory.
He reveled in the bloody war for supremacy.
On top of that, he killed his would be avengers from his iron castle and laughed at their regret.
Still being chased in the seas by those seeking revenge, Bege found a good cover as a Yonko's subordinate.
After buying his honed cautiousness and defensive strength, he was made a fighter "Rook" rank, and was entrusted with full authority in defense.
It appears that Bege is using is dull authority to take the head of Big Mom who is obsessed with killing the Vinsmoke and taking control of Germa.
Thinking that this is not the true to make them enemies as well, Jinbe proposes to Luffy and Sanji about making an alliance with Bege.
Luffy agrees with Jinbe's proposal.
When Jinbe gets in contact with Bege again, it's decided that they're gonna go meet him right away.
Whole Cake Island Northwest Firetank Pirates Secret Base
Bege: "Jinbe isn't the type of man to joke around. It's a good argument to increase the number of people seeking to oppose Big Mom."
@Ape loses his title to @Silver. The territory of the Dark Matter Thieves goes to the Knights of the Round Table.
@CielPhantomhive loses her title to @Saving Ace. Both are Dragon Lords, so the territory stays the same.
Changes during the month might occur due to the Crew Events, Shichibukai promotions, or crew roster changes.

This is a thread about pokemon you think are mistyped, examples could include single type pokemon that you think should be a double type or pokemon with a type you don't think make any sense!
Feel free to share your thoughts about this topic and discuss down below. Enjoy.
The game is fairly simple, I write the name of an artist or a band and the next person comments their favorite song from that band, and then another band or artist etc etc. Try not to comment a random song on a band you know nothing about, it ruins the game for others!
Spoiler: Example
User 1: Elton John.
User 2: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
Next artist/band: Green Day
The current vice admirals have been undermined by Oda in my opinion. During Roger's time, or at least a short while after it, the vice admirals were a forced to be considered. Afterall, the original admirals were part of it with their overpowered logia devil fruits. In contrast, the current vice admirals are being defeated easily by the likes of Sabo, or even Bartolomeo. They also had no important role in the Marineford war.
This lead me to expecting a stronger group of vice admirals in the future.
Who do you think will become a vice admiral at the end of the series? And which of the current members will no longer be a vice admirals?
Something caught my attention while re-reading Little Garden arc just now, why would Oda mention the name of the pioneer who named Little Garden? It's not an important piece of information but this is not what we're used to in One Piece.
A pioneer is a person who is among the first to explore or settle a new country or area, meaning this guy was alive a long time ago. Do you think he's of any importance in the story? Will we hear his name again?
Don't let me lose you just yet haha. This was actually an idea that popped into my head as I was typing up some thoughts about Blast over in another thread.
What if Saitama and Blast were actually the same person? I did a bit of research and I found that I was not the first person to come up with this idea. This was an idea that was being spread around quite a bit earlier during One Punch Man's run, but it seems to have lost a bit of traction lately. Since I didn't see any thread devoted to this idea here, I thought I'd throw together some of my own thoughts as to why this could actually be true.
Now obviously One Punch Man is a joke series, so everything I'm typing here could prove to be horribly, horribly wrong lol. But as much as OPM is a parody, I do think that One takes the story at least a bit seriously, and I don't think that throughout the entirety of the series, we won't get some huge plot twists here and there. So here goes!
Disclaimer, I do not follow the Webcomic
I'll try to keep this as short as I can since a lot of the evidence isn't that solid. The idea is that Saitama is Blast and through some sort of memory loss/brainwashing/memory removal, he actually lost his memories and doesn't remember that he is Blast. The reason people don't recognize him is because around the same time he lost his memory, he went bald and so everyone completely dismisses as he just looks to ridiculous for anyone to take seriously.
Spoiler: The Evidence
#0: The Obvious
Spoiler: Webcomic Spoilers, You have been warned
So let's get the obvious out of the way first. Saitama and Blast look a lot alike. A lot alike. From their general physical builds, to facial structure, to outfit, they just look extremely similar to each other, at least from the silhouette that we've seen of Blast so far.
While I don't follow the webcomic I am familiar with this scene, and what's interesting about this scene is that Blast basically tells Tatsumaki something that I don't think really fits with who Saitama is. Many people have regarded this scene as proof that Blast is actually a different character than Saitama, as this scene proves that Blast is much older than Saitama. But frankly I'm not so sure that this scene is proof that Blast and Saitama are different people. After all, you can't sell a major plot twist without first selling the lie.
#1 Saitama's Power
This scene really makes me think that somebody tampered with Saitama's memory. As Genos points out, it's very bizarre that Saitama was able to become as strong as he is on such a basic (and frankly inefficient) training regimen. In fact, many people to this day do not believe that this by itself is the only source of Saitama's power.
This doesn't necessarily point to him being Blast, but it does tell us that there is definitely something strange about Saitama's power and where it came from.
Saitama's weird training aside, he would fit perfectly in the number one seat at the Hero Association. Blast has been described as someone with extreme power, with some saying that he would be absolutely required if the Hero HQ wanted to stop a god-level threat.
#2: Saitama is already at the top of all heroes
It's obviously extraordinarily strange that Saitama, despite being first put into C-Class, has always basically been the ultimate hero, defeating the most terrifying of monsters with almost no effort at all. Even back when he was an amateur hero, it's undisputed that he easily dwarfs even the second highest ranked hero in the world in terms of strength.
#3: Blast will only show up when the Earth is in true danger
Even though Boros was supposedly capable of destroying the Earth, Blast apparently did not deem him a big enough threat to warrant him actually showing up to fight. There could only be a few reasons for this:
1. Blast knew the S-Classes by themselves could stop Boros
2. Blast knows Saitama's strength and knew he would defeat Boros
3. Destroying the Earth just isn't a big enough deal for Blast to show up
Or the idea of this thread:
4. Blast is Saitama and in fact did show up to stop Boros. Whether he did it intentionally or not.
#4: Blast seems to ignore Hero HQ summons
My question would be why? Why would the number 1 ranked hero not view the Hero meetings as being worth his time? How often could these meetings happen that he would view them as unimportant?
There are two possibilities: 1. They are just straight up not important enough for him, or 2. The Hero HQ has been attempting to contact Blast, and Saitama not knowing who is trying to contact him, just ignores the calls. I read a post somewhere that he would probably ignore their calls thinking they are telemarketers haha.
So that's basically it haha. Obviously this isn't the best theory in the world, and I'm sure there's more behind this idea that I've forgotten about, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if something as ridiculous as this were to actually happen lol.
What do you guys think? Do you like this idea? Do you think it could happen? What would you think if this actually turned out to be true? Share your thoughts
12 Years a Slave is a 2013 period drama film and an adaptation of the 1853 slave narrative memoir Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup, a New York State-born free African-American man who was kidnapped in Washington, D.C., in 1841 and sold into slavery. Northup worked on plantations in the state of Louisiana for 12 years before his release.
Easily the best and more realistic portrayal of the horrors slaves endured for so many years. A true reminder of how low Man can stoop but also of how there's good and bad people out there, done in the coldest way possible. A movie that makes us think. Am incredibly powerful and inspiring story starring brilliant actors and actresses in absolutely incredible performances that convey the brutality of slavery in a way no other slavery-related movie could ever achieve.
The film was directed by Steve McQueen. The screenplay was written by John Ridley. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as Solomon Northup. Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, Paul Giamatti, Lupita Nyong'o, Sarah Paulson, Brad Pitt, and Alfre Woodard are all featured in supporting roles. Music by Hans Zimmer who does an incredible job, as always.
Spoiler: Trailer
I urge you to watch this movie because it is, undoubtedly, one of these past two decades crown jewels and is belongs forever in the category of the best ever. Few movies have the ability to make me really feel the story, the characters and all their suffering. Trully a masterpiece.

Though the main character can get the job done, in many cases behind every strong main character there is a strong supporting cast. Sometimes they have many great qualities as an individual, most of their accomplishments wouldn’t be possible without the supporting cast as each has their own unique contributions.
For example:
Spoiler: Attack On Titan
Levi is one of humanity’s greatest soldiers on the battlefield. A huge majority of his portrayal tends to exhibit him as someone with a superiority complex. He is an obsessive clean freak, very rarely shows any emotion, and tends to conduct himself in a rather offensive manner. Not only that, he can be excessively abusive such as when he attacked Eren during his court martial (but as a twisted means of helping him). With all these cold qualities, what can redeem him to make it on this list? For starters, he does care very much for his soldiers and when they had to retreat during the 57th Expedition, he actually showed emotion that he cared about the lives that were lost on his watch.
So, who do you think is the best and the worst supporting male character?
