Random rant on Gintama popularity poll

1) I’m so glad tsukki made to top 10!! I think it’s quite impressive, considering she only appeared 3-4 times after shogun assassin to silver soul. She still ranked top 9 for the last 3 polls and with these many competition, I’m very happy she made it again 🥹 I knew there are many people love her!!!

2) I’m quite disappointed about how low the female characters ranked. In my opinion, I think sorachi wrote really awesome female characters, and they still rank quite low :/ Like at least for one piece, nami is top 3 (the worldwide one) imo kagura should rank at least top 2/3 for most of the polls and I ain’t joking, kagura is my favorite for a long time when I first watched Gintama, who doesn’t like a girl that’s strong, cute, independent, love and protect her family wholeheartedly? It’s quite disappointing to learn that she only rank 5-6 most of the time.

3) gintoki is another main character that always rank #1, it doesn’t happen quite often in manga apparently

4) Madao didn’t make into top 20 is quite disappointing too

5) Otae and Kondo are in 13-14 is quite interesting, because 1314 in Chinese means they are together a whole lifetime lol

6) feel like sachan should rank higher too _(:_」∠)_

Ah…yes…tsukuyo made me so touched again…

She wanted to see and experience everything, so when he came back, she could tell him all about it,all the changes and all the things that happened so he could walk the same path as everyone else again…

Ah…my girl _(:_」∠)_ she’s so romantic in her own way..

I don’t think y’all will surprise if I wrote a post for gintsu when I finished Gintama right? ♪(´ε｀ )

So you mean to tell me that Law has BEEN looking for poneglyphs since before Dressrosa, before the timeskip even? My lawbin brain doesn't know what to even do with this information.

How long has he known about the poneglyphs? How long has he known about Robin? Surely, at some point, someone must have told him about the only person who can read them.

If he was told about Robin and was shown her first bounty poster, I would LOVE to know his thought process. A small girl with a bounty. He knows a thing or two about how the government can twist things. I'm sure he would empathize.

Did he read the news about Enies Lobby? We know he spoke about the miracles the straw hats have been able to pull off, but did he read the news about Enies Lobby before meeting them at Sabaody? If so... I wonder what he felt knowing that a rival of the worst generation had found her first. I also wonder about him seeing her updated bounty poster. He now had a more reliable image of her if he wanted to look for her and ask her about the poneglyphs, but she was in a rivaling crew.

I would also like to know what he was thinking when he finally met her in Sabaody because she also knew his name, but she was a bit hostile. I wonder if he already had like a thousand questions to ask her about the poneglyphs but couldn't because she was in a rivaling crew, and she was the first one to caution her captain about him.

I REALLY want to let my delusions loose, but I also wanted to get my more serious thoughts out first. Maybe I'll leave those for a separate post or a reblog later.

BOOM! POW!

The Rocky Port incident...

...turned out to be another instance of Law meticulously crafting a plan only to shoot himself in the foot, then forming an emergency alliance and somehow turning the tide in his favor. That's incredibly consistent 😭

But now everything makes more sense. It seems Law's intended bargaining chip for becoming a Shichibukai was to hand over a Poneglyph/rubbings to the World Government, and he was accepted not because he submitted 100 hearts of random pirates, but primarily because he played a key role in taking down Ochoku and saving some VIP royalties (also for securing the Poneglyph, I suppose).

According to the translation we have in hand rn, the name of the vassal Law hijacked was "Rocky Port". We know there's a port in Hachinosu with the same name. Maybe it was named after the ship after this incident.

But what "important" Poneglyph was there, anyway?

I don't think it's the missing Road Poneglyph. Probably a Rio Poneglyph protected by the resident pirates. I wonder if Law was originally looking for the Road Poneglyph possessed by the man marked by flame, but then changed his target. Curious that he didn't know two of the Road Poneglyphs are possessed by pirates, let alone Kaidou and Linlin..

The chaos that broke out was not part of Law's plan, he was lucky that Blackbeard arrived to join the fun, and they could come to an agreement. Koby, on the other hand, was probably the only marine who agreed to work with the pirates, and thus was able to save the most number of innocent 'Rocky Port' passengers.

I'm pretty sure it was Law who proposed the alliance. Scoring cookie points aside, his conscience surely kicked in. He felt responsible for accidentally dragging an entire ship of innocent civilians to a devil's nest, and offered to form a pact with the marines to reduce casualty. Without his presence that buffered both sides, a three way alliance wouldn't have been possible.

I had a hunch that Blackbeard and Law might have worked together for some time. But why did Blackbeard need to work with Law? Was Ochoku that strong?

It seems Law didn't know Blackbeard could use two fruits at once (during their flight at Winner island), so Blackbeard likely didn't go all out. Possibly it was of Blackbeard's best interest to secure his victory without greatly damaging the island that he's soon going to rule, so he decided to follow Law's plan. He likely invited Law to his crew too, similar to Kuzan.

In retrospect, it makes sense as to why the alliance with the Straw hats puzzled Law so much, it wasn't because he didn't expect the chaos but because it was entirely different from his previous experience.

I didn't expect the main story the dive deep into Rocky Port incident, it was only a matter of time until we got a short summary. There's enough meat to it to extend it into a short comic, and there's plenty of time in future.

For now, I'm looking forward to the Japanese fanworks flood on Monday 🍿

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

my take on the final scene of chapter 9 from “Me & You” by the incredibly talented @cericebelle. Law’s been trying to ask Robin out at a Halloween party all night and it does not come out how he wants it to!

If you love Lawbin (or are at least slightly interested), please go check out her work!!! She’s an absolutely amazing writer and completely sold me on them with her story “Take my Heart & Please Don’t Break It”.
