[fallensnowfan]

Been about half a year since I made my post about my thoughts on the WT100 most popular characters, and I wanted to make an update for some.

Luffy - Very impressed by him telling Pigeon Guy to watch his manners on Egghead. I would love it if he was nowhere to be found when the story returns to Egghead, and the explanation is withheld for several chapters. Build up to something like the situation in chapter 958, explain the weirdness surrounding Kiku’s story during Wano’s epilogue, then have the Grand Fleet arrive in dramatic fashion, to a similar effect as Luffy, Law, and Kidd arriving at Tokage Port.

Zoro - The more his combat prowess grows, the more brain cells he loses, naturally. It's a constant battle for him.

Nami - Shirahoshi’s and Tama's big sis, I love that she has maintained her fun and survivor sides, over 1000+ chapters into the series, and that she is still growing as a character. Her being a glass canon of sorts is so much better than her gaining abilities and powers in a more typical shonen-fashion.

Usopp - Statue lad currently, I wonder if Zoro is secretly judging him for not having struck a cool pose before being petrified. It's okay, I think he's cool either way and he achieved major and meaningful things last arc, he can take a break for now.

Sanji - Generally prefer certain fandom interpretations of his character than canon these days. He has some bright spots post-time skip here and there, but fandom Sanji can fully embrace and maintain what canon Sanji could have several hundred chapters ago.

Hancock - I'd love it if she and S-Snake reconciled and teamed up to fight against the WG.

Yamato - I get that the character is meant to be a kinda shallow and immature imitator of Oden, taking on his name because “Oden” is a figure loved by everyone and represents freedom, while “Yamato” is a lonely and isolated child, unable to escape imprisonment. Though even with that role of being a storytelling device to have the Akazaya and Momo face their pasts, and the fact that blindly following Oden is restricting them, I don't think the character was used especially well. Forcing Luffy away from reaching the Scabbards on the roof was a stupid and grossly selfish move from Yamato.

Rather than having Brush-face return after being felled, have a Kiku who is struggling with exhaustion after fighting Kaido cross paths with and feel that she needs to keep up with Yamato(”Oden,”) as a protector of Momo. Have her collapse from exhaustion not much later, after taking offence to someone saying she should take a break to rest, or to help Tama instead, showing that she’s pushing down the part of her that cares for children with the character we established her caring about during her introduction, and have Kin’emon be there to see it happen. It would be a more grounded and clearer way of showing that Kiku stubbornly committing to the role of retainer is harming her and that she feels she can’t be herself while in the role.

Smoker & Tashigi - Would love to see one or both of them turn away from the Marines at some point, maybe have a hand in disbanding Cipher Pol as an organization.

X Drake - I'm curious to see him connect back up with SWORD and inform them on his experiences in Wano, and to see how his fate being intertwined with Law's will come back up in the story.

Pudding - I really want the Fire Tank Pirates to break her out of Blackbeard's ship, a Lola and Pudding reunion would be so fun.

Kiku - "Oh no, I scraped my forehead, if only there were a tall pretty samurai lady to take care of me." Ahem, oh right... My thoughts on Kiku's character. I want her to meet the crew outside of Wano! She got along really really really well with them in an incredibly natural way, carried the arc for about 75% of it, and is the only ally who was present for every major beat of it, though did it quietly.

Luffy respects her a lot, and I find it funny that the fandom wiki still says she let her emotions get the better of her, rather than highlighting the razor focus and self-control she displayed, after being taunted by Urashima. Tell me you don't understand the character, without telling me you don't understand the character. Her role in the Samurai family is very similar to Katakuri’s for the Charlotte family. Someone who tried to take on the emotional burden of everyone she cares about.

Izo - So cool in episode 1063, Oda, give us more stylish gun users! So were those like pure haki bullets he was firing? So cool! He lived a fulfilling life outside of Wano, had new experiences, and made new friends and family, while his old comrades from Wano suffered. He wants those in Wano to have a chance to experience the happiness he did for the decades he spent at sea. Somewhat of a mirror to parts of Ashura’s story. Ashura fell back into an old way of life, while Izo found a new one with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Hiyori - Toei, if y’all read this (I know they won't but they should!) kindly add a scene of Hiyori smashing her shamisen over Snake loser's dumb head, as a treat. I hope the anime extends her performance of Moon Princess with Brook, and her reunion with Toko.

Shirahoshi - Way braver than much of fandom give her credit for, went to Mariejois as her first trip to the surface, which is probably the scariest place on the planet for her. Didn't attack Charlos herself, because it would have destroyed everything her mother worked so hard to achieve, thought still rejected his words to his dumb face. Otohime would be so proud of her. Tangentially related, I'm curious where the Sun Pirates went, after working together with Jinbei to escape from Totland.

wait so how come the one piece hot take isnt reblogable but your heart and soul on a platter is ok to reblog. explain

My life and identity is something which I am ready to defend with my life. My unimportant musings on a telly show are not all that serious, and certainly not worth making somebody feel upset over; that'd be bullying... And it wasn't meant to be a hot take, anyways. Merely an observation that there are a lot of One Piece fans on Tumblr, and a cheap chance at getting to nerd out about how much fun the WT100 and 1000 chapters celebtations were.

I'd rather save the heartache for something which truly matters to me... I don't want to make people upset or mad, and it distresses me greatly to do so, but if it comes at the price of my head, if existing is upsetting people... I will simply have to upset people by existing. Telly show opinions just aren't -that- drastic. I'll roll over and show my belly in an instant; I have bigger fish to fry!

Honstly.. One Piece trends semi often on this site, and buzzing for the live action show is giving us something to talk about (especially since we've not a chapter this week, and the anime ep this week was a recap episode) so I .. Think it's real. We get more antsy when there's no chapter XD

There are a lot of One Piece fans on this site, we saw One Piece reaching top 5 tags frequently during the WT100 and 1000 Chapters celebration, and again right before the release of Film Red.. Actually, when the live action trailer was released, '#One Piece' was #5. I think it's organic.

... Normally I would agree entirely with Tumblr being scummy and shady (they are! God, are they.) but this one I do think is natural... ... Also based on how I've been going nuts myself this week talking about One Piece with friends, on and off of Tumblr...... I don't have a point to make, and I hope, dear, you don't find this as contrarian; I simply thought that it was interesting! EDIT: Please don't reblog this addition... I had intended for it to be a one-to-one discussion, not commentary. I do not wish to add any negative sentiments, please do not use my addition to be rude.... The original post was made in entire fairness, and is truthful in that it's people talking about the tab, which -is- shilling. (I know I've stacked 50 strawhat badges, so I'm not even one to talk :P)

The way that I just know one piece isn't actually trending, or if it is it is only because of people talking about that fucking tab. Tumblr is straight up lying about what's popular on the site so they can shill Netflix

Still deserved better than 97th place

Sorry no circle because I tried and it's pretty much invisible

Boy deserved better then 96 :(

[fallensnowfan]

After bouncing ideas around for a post involving the WT100 popularity poll results for a while, I decided writing out my quick thoughts of the top 50 sounds fun. Don’t take this too seriously, it’s meant to be mostly silly or light-hearted.

Luffy - Always fun to see what following him leads to, a little guy.

Zoro - Like him a lot, though want to see him have more big moments that aren't fights.

Nami - My favorite character in the series, has been given so many varying roles and pulls them all off. Her belief in Luffy during the escape from Whole Cake and when refusing to back down against Ulti, and later Kaido when he claims that Luffy was defeated, are so cool.

Sanji - Once my favorite Straw Hat, has gradually fallen to least favorite since Thriller Bark.

Law - Good character, I'm just not much for moody gloomy characters, not much to say.

Robin - Seeing her gradually develop such a strong belief and connection to her friends is wonderful. Her doing the Huh face at after learning that Luffy was defeated by Kaido is what perfect character development looks like.

Hancock - I think she's a great character though the way the story has handled her trauma is less than ideal to me. Healing from trauma is not so linear, there are relapses, creeping doubts, etc. Her story including some of that and having her work through it by relying on others who have been through similar experiences, Koala perhaps, would make her character that much greater.

Carrot - Chapter 888 is so cool. Best bunny little sister. Pedroooo!

Ace - No strong opinion.

Sabo - No strong opinion, though kinda feel he overshadows Koala a bit too much, who I like much more.

Yamato - Fun character though is built on traits from characters that were already established. Luffy's energy, Tama has a connection to Ace that feels more natural, Kin'emon is Momo's father/mentor, and the Akazaya love Oden more than anyone and inherited his will. The unique part of Yama's character is a wish to be accept by the samurai of Wano, something that has happened now. His story feels complete, though if I were asked why I think his story was included in the manga, I don't think I could give an answer. Forcing Luffy away from reaching the Scabbards on the roof was a stupid and grossly selfish move from Yamato.

Shanks - Mystery man, what are you up to, Red Hair?

Corazon - He's a great character, very intense about his goals and cares a lot the people and things he wants to protect. His dynamics with the Doffy family had me very invested in that story.

Katakuri - Best donut-loving big bro.

Usopp - When he's at his best, he is amazing, though isn't consistently depicted as his best.

Chopper - Me: "Doctor Chopper! I'm impressed by your amazing medical skills, you're so skilled at such a young age!"

Chopper: "Shut up asshole! You saying that doesn't make me happy at all! ehehe." Chopper is so cute y'all. ahhh

Crocodile - Still no backstory yet he doesn't even need one to be one of the best villain in the series. A real love to hate kinda guy.

Jinbei - Shark uncle, we all thought he would be logical with Robin but he just lets Luffy do what he wants(mostly,) amazing.

Marco - Fruit-shaped bird.

Doflamingo - I want to punch him in the face.

Vivi - The original princess, I love her and Luffy's dynamic as leaders that learned from the other.

Bon Clay - The queen of last minutes saves. Bon's introduction wasn't perfect though he has been framed in a positive way and been a great ally since helping the crew escape Hina. I think he's great.

Kidd -  Angry magnet man, I like many of the Supernovas introduced during Sabaody and Kidd is one of the group I enjoy more, though also agree with Oda, nine was perhaps too many.

Oden - Good on him for gathering and uniting the group of wonderful retainers. Terrible leader until he is a great one. No in between measures exist within this man.

Perona - I love how extra she is, I know many find her annoying but that makes her even funnier for me. Acts so above it all though is just as much of a dumb weirdo as Zoro, in her own way. If she had joined the crew at the end of Thriller Bark, I would have been all for it.

Brook - Brook and Thriller Bark signify the biggest shift in what One Piece is as a story in terms of tone and how bizarre it can be. He often fell to the wayside after joining, though has a fantastic story. Really got to shine during Whole Cake and Wano as a great support crew member, graciously allowing others to take the spotlight. Yohohoho.

Smoker - Top ten introductions to a character in the series. At the rate he gets promotions, earned or otherwise, he'll outrank Imu by series end.

Franky - Suuuuuuper! Leave it to Franky. He's great and always reliable for his crew. Can't help but feel kinda bad for the guy. He was so loved pre-ts(not that I was caught up at the time) though just doesn't get as much from the readers these days.

Roger - The man who started it all. The only reason he was allowed to take over the Wano flashback for a bit was because Oda needed time to establish his himbofication. So silly that he told Neptune he thought his daughter would be hairy.

Mihawk - His sudden appearance at the Baratie is what got me hooked on One Piece. Just so cool with his coffin boat and vampire aesthetic. Vastly under-prepared for suddenly gaining two goth family members to take care of and I love it.

Whitebeard - Always the Pops to his crew, wanted a family and was able to have one.

Merry - Best girl.

Rayleigh - He's the best greasy mentor a fella like Luffy could ask for. Love the guy's carefree attitude.

Buggy - He's the great Captain Buggy, words are useless to describe his majesty.

Enel - Playboy acting out the role of god. Part of me hopes that he never shows up again and Oda never explains why beyond a "he left to another galaxy" or some nonsense. I would find that hilarious for reasons I'm unable to explain.

Aokiji - Mystery man the second, what are you up to, ice man?

Woop Slap - Mayor guy.

Tashigi - People are always wondering if Tashigi is Kuina but no! I figured it out. Kuina is Kuina and Tashigi is Mocha's sword friend!

Reiju - Best part about Reiju and the Vinsmoke siblings as characters is that they show that it's okay to leave harmful blood family behind.

Barto - Broccoli.

X Drake - Quadruple agent shy boy. I want to see his dino ability. He has always been present throughout the New World though hasn't really been given the spotlight, yet I'm hoping.

Koby - First and foremost now, I can't help but think of him as Hibari's senpai. He's grown so much since we met him.

Rob Lucci - Die

Garp - Intense guy who has been through a lot and usually expresses himself through violence.

Pudding - I could write an essay about her, I'll keep it short and say she's one of Oda's most complex characters and so much is shown about how the Charlotte family operates through getting to know Pudding.

Blackbeard - Would you believe me if I told you that it took me until I was reading Zou to realize that he was cherry pie guy? The roughly eight-year break I took between Water 7(just before the Sunny was first uncovered) and Thriller Bark is probably the reason. It really shaped how I view the character and I still find it hard to think of him as a villain because of it. It's somewhat like he and cherry pie guy are different characters in my head, but I know they're the same. It's weird.

Kiku - Perfect and beautiful and resilient and...

Izo - Very cool dual wielder and dramatic in the best way, a legend. I can't believe this man is in his 40s, he's so silly.

Hiyori - Her friendship with Toko is adorable, Kawamatsu is best kappa dad, and there's no way she isn't concealing knives, poisons, seastone needles, etc. in the sleeves or obi of her kimono at all times, Denjiro taught her well. When and how did she learn that someone she could trust was keeping her father's swords safe? When Oden gave his swords to Toki, Sukiyaki would have been imprisoned at the time, though he knew he had grandkids at the end of the arc. Either something is up or Oda didn't quite figure out the details to make everything line up, which is possible.

Shirahoshi - My favorite princess in the series, she is great and so is Otohime and her bros. Has potential to be an all time favorite. I want to see her, Jinbei, Nami, Nojiko, Koala, Hachi, and Aladdin all gather together in one place and all be cute.

The top 10!

I love that Sabo and Ace are so close together

I was shocked that Nami and Sanji where the places they got. I didn't think she'd be in the top 3 but I like the supirse! It's nice to mix them up right at the end here as most of the top 10 went as expected in order 🥰

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LUFFY 🎉🎈🪅🎇🥳

I know I've said that a lot today but it's so nice to see him win today!!! Iwas so worried Zoro would win and there's nothing wrong with that, I'm super happy he got so close but it's Luffys birthday! He deserved to win.

[julie-su]

They should run WT100 again specifically so I can run predictions. That was fun. I like my statistics.
