#op ending 20

[otakv-trxsh]

The hyperfixation goes strong still, and I notice these little things yet again

Something I have definitely been thinking about more than I should is how well paralleled opening one is to the latest one, twenty

Memories lyrics:

When I was little, I had a vision of a treasure map

And I always searched for that miraculous place

Before someone else could beat me to it

If the world is going to change

Before I can even attain my dream

Then take me to the time when I knew nothing

So that my memories won’t fade

Dear sunrise lyrics:

How far I have run

Without knowing it, I counted scars

A treasure map in my head all along

Still looking for the future

The real promise

Lies much deeper in my heart

A dream that no one can catch up with

That’s all I hold onto

To you who smiles like the sun

I’ll sing the same song as that day

This wish I don’t want to forget even when I grow up

Until it reaches you

AND SO LIKE?? CAN WE JUST LOOK AT SOME THINGS HERE???

When I was little, I had a vision of a treasure map

A treasure map in my head all along

And I always searched for that miraculous place

Still looking for the future

If the world is going to change

Before I can even attain my dream

Then take me to the time when I knew nothing

A dream that no one can catch up with

That’s all I hold onto

…This wish I don’t want to forget even when I grow up

LIKE OKAYYY ONE PIECE ALWAYYYSSS GOING CRAZY WITH THE OPENINGS AND ENDINGS. TWENTY YEARS LATER, AND ITS THE SAME SINGER TOO

Also a note worthy mention

I’ll sing the same song as that day

Like she basically told us to go and relisten to the first opening

NOW NOT TO MENTION THE OPENING AS WELL!!!!

Uuuuus! Lyrics:

(All of us) us, us

(Dream save us) us, all of us

The end of a dream, the end of the sea

We all have different places we want to go

But first, we need

To make a shining legend out of ourselves

Sparks fly, no limit, this is where it starts

ONE PIECE!!

All of us, I ask you travelers

Are your dreams still pure?

Sleepless cells are shaken and burst

Still, all of us, in the middle of an adventure

All of us, I tell you travelers

No such thing as a pointless fight

When random contexts

Start to make sense on their own

The threads of time are spun back together

The world keeps changing along with us

(All of us) us, us

(Dream save us) us, all of us

Bare with me, the connections with this opening are going to take a little more thought, and they’re not as in line as the first two

Before I can even attain my dream

A dream that no one can catch up with

The end of a dream, the end of the sea

^ more lyrics that allude to the talks of dreams but don’t directly correspond to this

We all have different places we want to go

Sparks fly, no limit, this is where it starts

Are your dreams still pure?

If the world is going to change

The world keeps changing along with us

Until it reaches you

We all have different places we want to go

Still looking for the future

Still, all of us, in the middle of an adventure

Before someone else could beat me to it

No such thing as a pointless fight

I also want to point out some of the imagery paired with some of the lyrics from dear sunrise as well

Dear sunrise

How far I have run

It’s just Luffy, alone. It reminds me of marineford when he ran, and ran, and ran. He ran down six levels of impel down, he ran across marineford, he ran around dressrosa(ex while fighting doflamingo), he ran around alabasta(ex looking for the bomb), he ran around drum island(ex looking for a doctor for nami), he ran around shells town(ex looking for Zoros swords), around Arlong park(ex looking for nami and running away from fishmen), around skypiea and Jaya(ex around the ruins and to fight Bellamy for what he did to cricket), around water seven(looking for Robin), around thriller bark(looking for his shadow), around sabaody, in fact he ran away while there, he ran around it again, around punk hazard(away from Caesars pet), around wano(ex when he punched kaido in the face for blasting his friends and even Egghead(with vega punk) now

Without knowing it, I counted scars

Nami and Zoro appear as this lyric is sung, and two notable situations with them is when Nami stabs her arm and asks Luffy to save her, and when Zoro received the scar from his fight with Mihawk

A treasure map in my head all along

Here, Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper appear. I think here it may not be talking about a treasure map. Ever since Usopp was young, he wanted to be brave, Sanji always wanted to find the all blue, and Chopper wanted to cure all illnesses. They’ve always wanted this, or in other words, wanted this all along

The real promise

Here Luffy, Zoro and Nami joining the crew, and their crux moments are shown. They also made promises to each other way back when, Zoro being that if he ever had to give up his dream for Luffy, that he’d kill him https://youtu.be/IkeM7XtILEA?si=uwO1zuCkbtlZoaEx (the last thirty seconds), and Nami in a reverse way, Luffy promising himself to her, that he’d always help and protect her, she’s his navigator, after all https://youtu.be/dM0tpzY8nFc?si=B7b3JPt9gW7k8uAS this is implied, but also said through the action of him putting his hat on her head

To you who smiles like the sun

Here the crew is shown, with Luffy front and center. I feel like it’s definitely directed towards him

This wish I don’t even want to forget when I grow up

Luffys strawhat is shown two times, along with his whole crew, it’s his physical, and it’s also explicitly said promse, he makes with Shanks that he’d get a crew every bit as good as his, and become king of the pirates https://youtu.be/fzoQZ2dJ4fk?si=Sk5MQ-Uv-o4VOU5i

And then, self indulgently if you’ve made it this far I just want to comment on two of my all time favorite lyrics from two different openings

From Uuuuus!

When random contexts

Start to make sense on their own

The threads of time are spun back together

I love this so so so much. I interpret it as saying, even if something has happened to you right now that you don’t understand, it will eventually. When something random, a random context, starts to make sense on its own, a connection is made, they’re spun back together

From Super Powers, opening 21

A future gently brings a morning

It shines on our silly but dear world

It’s just silly, I like it. Even if something is silly, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hold its self substantially dear to you

Anyways, that concludes my essay!!! I was looking through other intros, and made I should do another even longer ass post that connects all the intros together.. because I certainly saw some connections in opening 21 to the points I made now even. Well, until the next time I feel like talking about the minor details of one piece I notice!!

[namisweatheria]

I've seen the new opening here a lot, but not the ending. It deserves just as much attention, I think.

[tosailuponthesea]

"Now I'm not saying that we rush into there headlong and start fighting this Light...but...(t)here may be answers there that maybe could break this cycle and stop us from just being...I'm going to appreciate that I'm not in my congregation. I am with my family, and me talking as a member of this family with children on the way, all I want is to keep us safe."

- Thorn Vale, Burrow's End Ep. 3

"But when this conflict happened here, I was lining up a shot and you swept my leg at the last second. 'Cause you were talking, talking, talking and I was like, he hasn't mentioned his kids! He hasn't mentioned that he's gonna be a dad. And I swear to god, Tula was gonna fucking—"

- Brennan Lee Mulligan, Adventuring Party, Ep. 3

[aydaaaguefort]

i’m so fond of him. he’s like a grandfather to me…

[ariadne-mouse]

Catching up on Burrow's End and can I just say how much I enjoy Erika's character work in this. Just impeccable

(bonus points to Izzy in this screencap for yes-and-ing the lean)

[ri-afan]

Thought posed:

Danny does the college stuff and interning for stuff at Wayne Enterprises while living in Gotham, but he doesn’t catch the Bats attention because he simultaneously is both Just Normal Enough while the Bats are Slightly Out Of Step of normal long enough that things with Danny don’t catch their attention. (Gotham as a whole is a huge ‘well this might as well happen’ place and after however many years…the threshold is a bit off for weirdness. Pair that up with normal Batdrama and role-code-switching and minor things are likely going to be subconsciously overlooked if not clocked as Dangerous.)

(Does Danny know the Bats’ IDs? … He would deny it if asked. Not his circus business though. He does think it’s smart that they at least try to cover their faces, unlike when he played the hero. He meets Clark before Superman and feels like he’s on the Office or something.)

Danny moves on with the astro-stuff (whether an astronaut, an astrophysicist, or whatever else) in another city and catches the attention of another hero as Not Normal, What’s Up With That Guy?? (two parts coincidence, one part Danny’s willingness to trust for the better, one part Uncanny) and they track his history to Gotham/WE and decide to ask the Batclan if they knew anything.

They find out nothing really is wrong with Danny (…the JLD was not called or conferred with, unfortunately for all) but it does spark the reeducation refresher of the Gotham Clan for Human Weirdness (that also educated the rest in just how messed up Gotham can be).

[beanghostprincess]

Greed leaving Ling's body will forever haunt me because I can't stop thinking about Ling feeling empty inside now that he's gone. Being just a little bit angry at him for letting go of his hand, even if he knows it would've meant going with him. It's just the frustration of filling Greed's emptiness with love right before his death but in consequence, Greed leaving him a deeper, hollower sting in his heart. It's not the need for love but the lack of it, always remembering how it felt inside and knowing it will never be the same again and having to live with it.

Obsessed with how Ava finally called Thorn "son" and said she was proud of him during the finale

[moongothic]

That is exactly something I've been wondering.

'Cause. Like if Whitebeard managed to hit Crocodile hard enough (=with Haki) to cut his whole hand off, then surely he would've done more damage than just leave a cut on Croc's face, right. Like his head should've ended up in two pieces. And I mean it's not impossible WB could be the cause of both wounds (like for example WB could've first just scratched Crocodile's face and then, when he was in shock, taken that left hand, or something, there's like a million ways this action scene could play out), it is entirely possible still. But it would ALSO be entirely plausible if Crocodile got his scar and lost his hand due to different people.

Also if Dragon is a former Marine then he could know the Rokushiki, and like I dunno about y'all but to me Crocodile's scar looks to me like it could've been caused by a Rankyaku to the face (or if Dragon is a Wind Wind Fruit user as many speculate, his attacks could very much be like wind-slashes similar to Rankyaku, any cutting attacks or even Croc's own Spada-attacks). Like the way his scar goes across his whole face, ear-to-ear, it looks like it could've been caused by a cut that hit him straight-on (but didn't cut through his whole head). As opposed to a cutting motion from a blade that'd go from like one side of the face to another (where I feel like it shouldn't go ear-to-ear, and instead, at most, like, ear-to-cheek, y'know? 'Cause the face would curve away from a blade etc? But also this is a manga and shit like this doesn't have to make sense, it just needs to look cool and be symbolic and shit)

(There is also the forbidden option that WB could've given Crocodile the scar and it was Dragon that took Crocodile's hand. And not in the romantic way 🥁)

In any case, if Dragon did attack Crocodile out of instinct because he couldn't recognize the strange, imposing man with a baby who showed up at the secret location at a secret meeting time when he was supposed to reunite with his wife and meet his child... Oh yeah. Dragon could've assumed the worst, thought that they had been found out, that his beloved had been taken out and baby kidnapped. Or something. And thus attacked. And boy howdy would this be one absolutely gut-wrenching way to cause a divorce, eh

((Only thing is that for Dragon to hurt Crocodile, either Dragon would've had to have gone in with the Haki right away, which is viabe but makes me question how Crocodile even survived to begin with, or the attack would've had to been moisturized ahead of time for some reason. Unless Dragon can add moisture to his attacks by default, or unless it was raining, it'd make no sense how Dragon could've cut Croc's face up. But hey we know Crocodile doesn't really like the rain, now does he))
