Mad lads. So much fun.

When talking episode 1085, not quite done with it here yet, of course you have to mention these beautiful wonderful ukiyo-e woodblock paintings!

The waves in the backdrop evoke Tokage Port, on the night of the raid where in spite of the setbacks, the meeting of the Alliance took place. Love the cherry blossoms and valiant depictions of our samurai friends, and the addition of the crescent moon shawls look very nice too.

Kiku's portrait having her name written as "Okiku" is a nice touch, adds some formality and it's the name she introduces herself with and one she seems most comfortable with, alongside "Kiku."

It would seem that these were painted to promote the exciting Rakugo performance which we witness in the conclusion of the episode. Neat!

Them: We're all sailing in a different direction, wouldn't want to look to be gay friends

Also them: Have to go down the same ship lift

They literally have one (1) brain cell collectively and I think Law just yeeted it into the sea.

Its been nice knowing you, dumbasses.

Those are the faces of regret, omfg. I swear, this is exactly why men their average life span is shorter.

"Average man lives 10 years shorter than average woman" actually error in statistics. Pirate men, who tend to do something excessively stupid by the age of 30, should not have been counted as lifestyle appears cofounding factor.

I earnestly love this little detail. In-universe Akazaya merch! The ladies with fans of their favorite, the kids dressing up. It's just such a cute, funny little detail. I looked, seemed like Kin & Kiku are not very popular parts of this story. Boo! My favorite though is this absolute legend:

This grown man is straight-up cosplaying Kawamatsu. I'm honestly impressed, he did not have much time to make that or he somehow kept his Kawamatsu kimono looking good all these years. It does make sense for our fair Kappa to be popular internally. I stand by the read that the Yokozuna title was earned. Nice floral robe in the top right as well.

Three Captains

Monkey D. Luffy, Trafalgar Law, Eustass Kid. Three Captains from the Worst generation. I love their relationship and interactions so much, because they remind me a lot of siblings! All their rivalry, jokes, malicious teasing on the sly and infuriating with snide comments. Inciting and dared eachother to commit illogical, absurd and actually stupid actions.

What’s especially funny is that Luffy, Kid and Law, despite their undoubted mutual respect, recognition of each other’s strengths and moral qualities (which, however, they will never say directly or show clearly), simply cannot be around without pissing each other off. Like three mischievous idiot brothers constantly poking each other with sticks.

We certainly know how Luffy’s childish spontaneity affects Trafalgar and how it can triggered our stern Surgeon of Death. But what about Eustass Kid?

Always cool and calm, Law instantly becomes a bully just by looking at his competitor in the Worst Generation, as was the case when they first met. It’s as if he’s a 13-year-old teenager again: his middle finger extended towards his opponent, and his mischievous grins in a verbal spat with him and quite ambiguous remarks and jokes about his battle tactics against Big Mom. At these moments, even the younger Kid seems like his older brother next to Law.

If Luffy simply infuriates Trafalgar with his childish spontaneity, like a real little brother, Law’s relationship with Eustass is more like a squabble between the same age kids or twins. Well, or at least classmates. And they are both, for a moment, quite adults!

One of them is always angry and aggressive, the second is cold, somewhat arrogant and unsociable. But both seem to happily and unconditionally succumb to the adventurous provocations to which this rivalry pushes them. But Law, even as a child, never succumbed to emotions like that, was a calm and serious older brother for his little sister, and he behaved almost the same way in the Doffy family, before getting closer to Cora. Only with Cora-san his emotions manifested themselves much more vividly and diversely. Who knows, maybe Kid evokes in Law some hidden associations with his benefactor, at least externally, since he can feel so relaxed and spontaneous in his presence.

So I'm very interested in what kind of chemistry is between the three Captains. Is this the influence of the power of Luffy’s fruit, or the influence of D. It still seems to me that Kid may also very well turn out to be a representative of this clan, because we don’t know anything about him yet (and besides, that’s exactly how I explained that erroneous the disappearance of the second letter D from his name, ha ha). Or is it simply a clash of similar sides of independent and free characters, but at the same time I get the feeling of precisely brotherly ties with all their feigned hostility and causticity.

I really hope that in the future they will remain comrades on the same side of the barricades, and that the fight for the Main Prize will not make them real enemies. I find their stupid relationship very valuable and touching. After all, this is a real, albeit not blood, brotherhood. And One Piece is wonderful in precisely these interactions and relationships.

Love these dorks so much.

Russian translation below 👇

Морепридурки.

Монки Д. Луффи, Трафальгар Ло, Юстасс Кид. Трое из худшего поколения. Мне так нравятся их отношения и взаимодействие. Они мне очень сильно напоминают отношения сиблингов! Всё это их соперничество, подколы, ехидное поддразнивание исподтишка и доведение до бешенства едкими комментариями. Взятие на слабо и подстрекательство к совершению нелогичных, абсурдных и, чего уж там, действительно глупых поступков.

Что особенно забавно, Луффи, Кид и Ло при несомненном взаимоуважении, признании сил и моральных качеств друг друга (о которых они, правда, никогда не скажут напрямую и не покажут явно), просто не могут находиться рядом, не выводя друг друга из себя. Словно три вредных брата-идиота, постоянно тыкающих друг друга палками.

Мы давно знаем, как действует на Трафальгара детская непосредственность Луффи и как это триггерит нашего сурового хирурга Смерти. Но что насчёт Юстасса Кида?

Всегда хладнокровный и спокойный Ло моментально заводится и включает хулигана, только взглянув на своего конкурента по Худшему поколению, как было при первой их встрече. Словно он снова 13-летний подросток: и этот его средний палец, вытянутый навстречу сопернику, и шкодные ухмылки в словесной перепалке с ним и вполне себе двусмысленные замечания и шуточки по поводу его тактики боя против Большой Мамочки. В эти моменты даже более младший по возрасту Кид кажется рядом с Ло его старшим братом.

Если Луффи просто бесит Трафальгара и выводит из себя непосредственностью, как самый настоящий младший братишка, с Юстассом у Ло отношения больше похожи на перепалки погодок или близнецов. Ну или хотя бы одноклассников. А они оба, на минуточку, вполне себе взрослые люди!

Один — мрачно-злобный, вечно сердитый и агрессивный, второй — холодно-отстраненный, несколько высокомерный и нелюдимый. Но оба словно с радостью, безоговорочно поддаются авантюрным провокациям, на которые их толкает это соперничество. А ведь Ло, даже будучи ребенком, никогда так не поддавался эмоциям, был с��окойным и серьёзным старшим братом для своей сестрёнки, практически также он себя вел и в семье Доффи, до сближения с Корой. А вот с ним как раз его эмоции проявлялись куда более ярко и разнообразно. Как знать, может Кид и вызывает в Ло какие-то скрытые ассоциации со своим благодетелем, хотя бы внешние, раз он может себя чувствовать настолько расслабленным и непосредственным в его присутствии.

В общем, мне очень интересно, что же это за химия такая между тремя Капитанами. Воздействие ли это силы фрукта Луффи, или же влияние Ди (мне до сих пор кажется, что Кид тоже вполне может оказаться представителем этого клана, ведь мы ничего про него пока не знаем, ну и, к тому же, я именно так себе и объяснила то ошибочное исчезновение из его имени второй буквы Д, ха-ха). Либо же это просто столкновение схожих сторон независимых и свободных характеров, но при этом у меня возникает ощущение именно братских связей при всех их напускной враждебности и колкости.

Очень надеюсь, что в будущем они останутся боевыми товарищами по одну сторону баррикад, и борьба за главный приз не сделает их настоящими врагами. Мне кажутся очень ценными и трогательными их дурацкие отношения. Ведь это и есть настоящее, пусть и не кровное, братство. А Ван Пис именно такими взаимодействиями и отношениями и чудесен.

Обожаю этих морепридурков)

[twinbrothercomplex]

When they add the tiniest adorable difference to the one piece opening, to the new episode. All hail our Lord and Savior Nika

[chromatic-lamina]

The short version.

Heroes of Wano Kuni. Luckily the locals have these guys to look up to (I mean the guys after the cut!).

[fallensnowfan]

Very important screenshots of the sillies

Love how the scale of the waterfall in conveyed in the first one. And Kin and Momo being father and son is wonderful.

[empressofmankind]

Chopper was a mood, ngl.

Massive dragon actually still bby. Momo's crying was really well animated and I wanted to hug the poor guy so badly and I've met him like 2 minutes ago. But if anything were to happen to him~

The whole send off was on point, ngl.

I am going to use that one still as a reaction image forever tho.

Amount of Clown: 0

Amount of Wani: also 0

Sad life.

[basedkikuenjoyer]

Okay, I gotta have a chat with a certain artist in Wano. These posters showing the Akazaya in traditional style are cool...but why'd they give Kiku a massive schnoz? Did someone mistake her for Izo? The tiny eyes are so weird too.

I actually do kinda like it for fitting that theme of a reputation that really clashes with who you are. But this just looks like the type of face Kiku made when she found out she owes her life to Kin's uncouth party trick.

[thelastsaiyanprincess]

i can't believe i finished wano and i can't believe i'm about to start egghead
