One Piece is libertarian, although left leaning. It's big focus is pursuing your dream no matter what and in defiance of authority. If there is any central ideology I can discern its Egoism.

It's Libertarian in some sense but I vaguely assume Oda has communist sympathies because he's got che guevara hanging up in his office and the fact that the revolutionaries exist in his story.

Like Luffy's dream is being the most free in the seas, but naturally there are other pirates who value freedom that will fuck other people up like Blackbeard or Kidd. Plus Oda's shown us good natured Marines like Garp, Fujitora, Smoker, and several others. There obviously will be some form of government when One Piece comes to an end, it just won't be at the beck and call of bourgeoisie fascists like the celestial dragons. One Piece is a good baby's first leftism, I appreciate having it when I was younger, it helped me get here.

(fun fact, in this sbs answer Oda makes it a point to say that his stereotypical thoughts are "world peace")

Ah I didn't catch that, but thanks for letting me know. That's pretty based of Oda, though communism as understood by Japan is pretty light and soc-dem like, ain't it?

At any rate, let's post some inspiring One Piece stuff. I've been meaning to talk about it in a leftist space for a long ass while.

 No.1740

>>1738
While initially true, I feel that Oda has either liberalized or been forced to liberalize One Piece because the Revolutionary Army in canon declared that it intented only to remove the 'bad kings' and World Government. Essentially playing the "good ruler stay/back in power" card

 No.1741

It's just gonna be "not all kings" or some shit because of the good kings we've met, but I think getting rid of the world government in general is a good thing, or at least the celestial dragons.

I feel as long as the celestial dragons and im are removed from power, that it can still be considered leftist. You could make an argument that keeping the good kings is still "democratic" since they are in a way chosen by the masses. Idk.

Even if they're making the Revolutionary Army a bit faggy, keep in mind that all the "good kings" were not actual royal families that ruled over those countries from the start.

the only ones you've listed there that are true are Alabasta. As The Nerfertiti were dsecended from the original 20 world kings. Fishman Island is it's own thing, and Dressrosa was coup'd by a celestial dragon descendant.

This. They're kings in title, but they have popular support from their kingdoms.

 No.1751

>>1749
Alabasta had a literal revolution when shit got bad after Crocodile's manipulations. The Revolutionaries could have removed Nefertiti but chose not to upon the truth being revealed, thus showing that the people in the case of Alabasta could do so.

>Dressrosa

Original rulers WERE Doflamingo who BECAME Celestial Dragons, before one of them lowered back to humanity and the last living member of that line took over Dressrosa from a different line of kings who were of the people.

>Fishman Island is it's own thing

It is a kingdom regardless, but the king is sort-of elected and they seem to have protest movements and such.

All three of these kingdoms have people clearly ready to overthrow improper government but have kind kings. At the same time such kings are the exception among kingdoms. Making the whole 'good king' thing a liberal backtrack.

Another find. Mariejois (where the celestial dragons live) is based off of Chateau de Chambord. While not exactly a pivotal building in the French Revolution, I do believe there's a connection to be made there. Especially since as if I recall correctly, Bello Betty is based off of that July Revolution painting too.

I literally just got into the story and I can't get beyond dressrosa. There's so much to unpack, especially for a noobie I can't believe I made it this far.

Please read the manga instead, not only is it faster but the art is a lot better and the anime literally RUINS scenes. Take for example, since you've watched up to Fishman Island I'll list a good example from that. The anime adds in a scene of Hody Jones and his band of fucks getting fucked with by adult pirates as babies, to set up them as idolizing Arlong when he saves them. This scene isn't in the manga, and for good reason. At the end of the arc, Hody says his hate for humans isn't based off of ANYTHING in particular, he's simply a byproduct of the generation before him hating humans. This is a very poignant part of the whole arc that's just ruined through the anime trying to add in more filler for time. Most of the time the filler is bad non-cannon additions to the fights, but there's stuff that's reprehensible.

Please consider the manga if you revisit this series again, it really shines as a manga first artistically anyway.

Hard to say since we haven't seen it in full yet. I want to say Wano has something to do with Oda's desire to see Japan be less nationalistic since Oden hated how cramped the country was, in addition to how the scabbards mentioned that they wanted to open the borders to Wano and stop making it so isolationist. This arc walks a tightrope of "Japan strong" and also "maybe japan not so great" at times.

 No.1789

>>1787
Japan historic and modern.
1) Industrialization is seen as bad because it is used to exploit the people and brings terrible living conditions
2) Instead of a proper feudal monarchy, the state is ruled by a "monarch" who is really more of a figurehead as part of a business and has international power (Orochi deals with World Government officials like an equal) which is similar to a corporate monopoly working with a national government
3) lastly Oden was a 'disgrace' because he lived freely and did not care for how others saw him, breaking the mold of uptight Wano citizens.

All these feel like callbacks to moments in Japanese history.

They just like playing up bad stuff they don't get contextually because being a part of the "outrage" is fun. If you meme "One Piece is bad now" eventually it just becomes popular opinion.

Anyways in regards to Oden, everyone's saying that he should've just called Roger or Whitebeard to help him with Kaidou. Forgetting multiple facts like how Roger is dead at this point and that Wano's Den Den Mushi only have the limited range of the island. Even the "Kaidou is a kidnapper" complaint is dumb when you consider he's a pirate through and through, pretty much a barbarian, and we've seen him all throughout the arc trying to brainwash people under him, so the narrative of "why isn't Kaidou just wrecking everything" they're spinning is objectively dumb.

Have some nice copy-pasta

If you're not familiar of the story of the soon to be pirate king I'll fill you in. Basically this goofy ass kid named Luffy with crazy famous relatives eats an ass tasting fruit and becomes a rubber man. So this goofy rubber ass motherfucker saves a green haird dude that swings a sword in his GODDAMN MOUTH! This crazy fuck lifts like 20 thousand pound dumb bells and shit for hours. This is possible because they frequently dine on giant goddamn monsters. So they go off and find this chef that looks like 20 year old Gordon Ramsey and together they kick the shit out of this gay ass thug in Golden armor that thinks he's hot shit because he's the toughest guy in the area which is full of pussies. They then find a Pinocchio looking freak with a slingshot and bring him along after beating some faggots in catboy cosplays cause why the fuck not. They also recruit a talking reindeer that's half human cause he also ate an ass tasting fruit. Also he's a doctor cause why the fuck not? They also have a chick with regular tits to start but later on in the series they balloon up by three or four times the size. They beat up this gang dude that would fucking whip garaa from Naruto's ass in a sand fight. Then rubber man takes his bitch who ate another ass fruit that let's her have like however many of a body part she wants so boom wings made of a thousand hands eat that shit curse mark sauske with your two wrinkled bat hands. So after fighting a dude with lighting powers who thinks he's good and saving sand dudes bitch from some creepy ass dude and a bunch of assassin's that also end up eating ass fruits they make friends with a cyborg powered by Cola and perverted skeleton and fight some shadow weilding fat Dracula and a bunch of zombies.
Then they save a mermaid slave from over privileged white people. Rubber dude then ends up on an Amazon island and the queen is totally into him because he doesn't give a shit about bitches. Then rubber guys brother dies in a fight between a giant golden dude that ate an ass fruit and about 50 other dudes that ate ass fruits and they got ice powers and light powers and earthquake punches and fucking black holes coming from a fat guy that later eats the earthquake power or some shit. Years later they reunite after being separated and go save more mermaids and then fight dragons and living poison on an island covered in fire and ice. Living poison thing that ate another ass fruit that makes it a lizard fish thing and rubber guy saves some drug addicted giant children from a guy with literal bad gas. Then rubber guy goes to win his dead brother's ass fruit in a roman coliseum style tournament and fight a guy that shoots strings from his fingers and makes this power so strong he almost kills a whole island with it. Then they go a jungle on top of a giant elephant and meet a bunch of athro fap material characters like a super over-sexualized bunny and a dog girl. Bunny girl and a lepord dude go with them to save young Gordon Ramsey from this old ass bitch that eats literal metric tonnes of sweets a day and has an army of warriors that were everyday things imbued with pieces of souls sucked from the people that live there. It's their where a shark man with crazy ass water bending joins them. Now they're in samurai land.

I'll admit when it has to come to the whole Alabasta it kind of makes me wonder if it was a lazy analogy for Iraq. I'm not sure if anyone's aware of it but when it comes to a lot of the buildings and city design specifically Alubarna was based off of Baghdad during the Abassid caliphate especially since both cities had a very round shape.

The big thing that makes me wonder this though is basically the fact that the timing of the Alabasta arc happened around the early 2000s which was around the lead up to the Iraq war which to me seems awfully suspicious especially since in the story Crocodile is shown to be a Shichibukai who did have alliances with the World Governement and attempts to use said power to get rid of a country which looks vaguely like the Middle East until getting defeated by Luffy.

I guess in a way the analogy though messy would work if one were to say Shichibukai were like Al-Qaeda in that they were funded originally to fuck with other pirates but ended up backfiring like it did when the US supported Al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein against the Soviets only for Al-Qaeda to do 9/11 and Saddam Hussein to get in the way of the flow of oil which the US wanted. Also, I guess technically Alabasta did have actually a weapon of mass destruction if anyone wants to make a joke about it.

I don't know this is probably a shitty analogy but I don't think Oda thought out the implications of the Alabasta arc.

his ship is the Wind Granma, named after the ship Grama, which carried Che, Castro, and the rest from Mexico to Cuba to overthrow the Batistas.

Just imagine this:
You are an elite navy soldier, proven yourself in many battles, maybe even in the New World. Your strength and speed is low level superhuman, far stronger than regular humans even dream of becoming. Maybe you even show enough potential that your officers started training you in Haki or Rokushiki. Anyway, you are among the 100.000 best of the Navy, chosen to fight in a war against one of the World Governments greatest enemies. Your skill and speed have so far kept you unharmed in this monumental battle. You are rather close to Whitebeard himself. A truly frightening foe, several times a normal humans size, unbelievable strength and one of the most powerful devil fruits of all. In a world, with Giants, Hybrids, Fishman, mink & So many unknown types of people, and among them he's holding the title "THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD"; A walking, living legend. But he is old, sick and injured. Sengoku gives the order to finish him. This is the chance to prove yourself! You and your comrades have stood against unbearable odds before! Together you can surely beat the monster! Together you charge at him. Some of you stab Whitebeard, one fires a bazooka directly into his face. He starts to fall! Then, suddenly he straightens back up. His voice like an angry roaring thunder as he reminds you who he is. He takes one big swing with his giant blade. Doesn't even use his feared devil fruit ability, just the strength of his arm. A gust of wind, a huge shockwave rips your body from the ground. There is dust and rubble everywhere, you can't see anything, you just feel that you have absolutely no control over your body anymore. The dust clears and you realize that you are suddenly hundreds of meters above the ground, falling to certain death.

How frightening that must be.

Trash in what sense?
One Piece is about wild moments, weird powers and creatures and corny shit about friendship and determination. And I think it's pretty funny.
It's never been good at pacing, or subtlety, or nuance, or maturity, or whatever else you expect from stuff that doesn't get labeled "trash". And it's very formulaic. Like another anon said, this stuff gets more noticeable and frequent the more it goes on, but it's always been there.
Point being, even at its best fighting shonen will only ever be cotton candy and it's never "well written", but as for whether it's actually gotten *worse*, I don't think so at all. I actually find Dressrosa easier to binge read than something like Skypiea because at least it feels like things are always moving somehow.
But if you wanna judge it entirely within its genre, there's probably a reason (beyond mere nostalgia) I still read One Piece but can't handle stuff like MHA or AoT or even Naruto. And honestly, I think it's that Oda just embraces how trashy it is. It's always very cartoonish and even the more "serious" moments tend to have some humor or ridiculousness to them.
And I make this point because I think it's easy to scoff at shonenfags who cream their pants over every minutely "hype" moment achieved by violating good taste and common sense, but One Piece seems different because it is very much aware of what it is without descending into outright cynical parody. This is one of the things the first Dragon Ball actually got right, so it's a big plus.
So it's trash, yes, in the best way, which still might not be enough for some people. That's fine.
And yes, I just wrote a whole reply to a post that's forty days old and I'm not even gonna bump the thread. Fuck you.

This has probably been discussed or thought of before but the Hana Hana no Me has enormous sexual potential especially because of how it works.

Seriously
1 - Create as many pussy copies as possible

3 - have pussy (indirectly) fucked/stimulated by 100-1000 people simultaneously
4 - have most epic orgasm to ever orgasm.

I partially agree with >>8727 so I'll summarize that Pre and Post Timeskip are sort of like 2 very different series, similar to how Naruto and Shippuden took differing directions. However it is largely true that Post TS is worse in many regards than Pre TS because it flanderizes the small issues that the Pre-TS story had and makes it boring. The anime has become worse than the manga in most regards, with DBZ tier pauses and discount supersaiyan fights, so compared to the more grounded yet silly adventure story that initially began, it's lost it's tempo.

Orochi is developing the productive forces via primitive accumulation, industrializing a previously feudal country and proletarizing peasants and manufacturing workers. All of this under a dependent-capitalist, imperialist-stage framework (Kaidou holds a monopoly over Wano and controls its trade).

Then we have a subsequent socialist and anti-imperialist revolution, led by Luffy, Yamato and the Scabbards, who are a vanguard party (centralist in thought and leading in action) following Joyboyism-Rogerism Oden Thought.

Nami'd kill for a money making scheme like that - it's in her style, using temporary living ona-holes essentially to make money (and get pleasure) from places they stop at, while remaining squeaky clean herself.
Also on a less sexual note, the Strawhats could make a lot of money (and infamy) by selling clones of Nico Robin, to marines for bounties (in disguise) and then having them go *poof* leaving the marines having nothing.

I also got an idea about Robin making a clone that goes rogue and becomes a nymphomaniac, with the original one feeling everything that happens with the clone and having to hunt it down, before it messes everything up.

>Yamato's Intro Box says she is the DAUGHTER of Kaido
>Openly admits she's merely LARPing as Oden
<tvitter libs and the LGBT community: Hmmm, this means he's trans! Finally we have representation (NO, FUCK YOU, KIKU AND THE NEWKAMA DON'T COUNT SHUT UUUP!)
I'm really not liking this idea that Kaido was such a horrible motherfucker that he beat his daughter and made her and his underlings refer to herself as his 'son', since that means Yamato later latching onto the Oden LARPing can be directly blamed on Kaido himself for mindbreaking his daughter into referring to herself as a boy, since he wanted a son. Then again, judging by the fact that Kaido is so petty that he locked an 8 year old Yamato in a cave with 3 samurai for Oden LARPing, when he could have easily talked her down suggests that Kaido really would do something that fucked up for his own pride.

I find it both hilarious and sad that some people try to make this into a "Yamato is trans" argument and it's kinda dumb as fuck. This is despite her reasons for calling herself a man (A: Kaido refusing to acknowledge a female and so coping by calling her a son and B: her childish idea to become Oden) directly hurts the transhumanists own cause since it just seems mentally ill and abusive/trauma-based. I get wanting representation, but this is actually silly, and frankly there is much better representation in the series (the Okama like Bon Clay, Kiku and Emporio Ivankov).
The reactions to Yamato's male declaration (and Oden LARP) is that Momo is confused as fuck and Luffy is too, but they just roll with it, since it's a minor matter and that's probably the best part of this entire debacle.

>Kiku comparison

Yamato wanting to be Oden is not the same as Kiku wanting to be a woman - it's about presentation, not actual reality; she directly says her reasoning is
>if Oden is a man, then I'll be a man too
This suggests her wanting to be a man is completely dependent on Oden and not how she sees herself. Yamato calling her self 'son of Kaido' is something Kaido forced on her even before she met Oden. That she put herself as 'son of Kaido' in context of the samurai hating her due to her dad suggests that even before Yamato decided to 'become a man, like Oden', she was already being raised not to act like a girl, by her dad. That would definitely explain why Kaido calls her his son, when he hates her Oden-LARPing guts. The only question is why Kaido does this; it's not humoring her, since he's instructed his underlings to do the same. I have no doubt Kaido's reasons has nothing to do with him respecting her 'wanting to be a man like Oden' and everything to do with his complete and utter absolute disdain for the fact that he had a daughter instead of a son.
https://archive.ph/w1WPH#Gender

Also it seems that Oda just got inspired by another media (as usual) in this case Rose of Versailles
>Yamato seems to be inspired by Oscar François de Jarjayes, from the shōjo manga The Rose of Versailles, who is a woman raised by her father as if she were a boy in order to succeed him as the commander of the Royal Guard at the Palace of Versailles.
>Additionally, in the Chapter 945 author's comment, Oda talks about reading The Rose of Versailles for the first time and being surprised to find out Oscar was a woman.

Also as an aside, translators can and are biased, example being pic 1, translating an interview of the VA for Yamato and using male pronouns, despite actual translation using female pronouns. Pic 2 is the original.

> You were chosen to play the role of Yamato, who is popular all over the world, but what is your impression of Yamato?

< "I think Yamato's charm lies in the fact that she single-mindedly believes in her feelings so much that she calls herself Kozuki Oden or says "I will become". For Yamato, gender and blood relations are secondary, and the most important thing is what Oden, whom she admires, was like. That's why she refers to herself as Kaido's "son" and why she aims to open up the country even if it means attacking her immediate family member, Kaido. I feel that the impulse of her childhood, when she witnessed Oden's way of life and read the "Oden Adventure", are what keep Yamato alive."

Here's the Japanese text in case anyone wants to check it.

> 世界中から人気を集めるヤマトの役に抜擢されましたが、ヤマトにはどのような印象がありますか?

< 自ら光月おでんを名乗り「なる」と言いきるくらい、自分の気持ちを信じている直向きさが魅力たど思います。ヤマトにとって性別や血縁は二の次で、一番大切なのは憧れのおでんがどうであったか。だからこそカイドウの”息子”と表現したり肉親のカイドウを討ってまで開国を目指したりする。おでんの生き様を目の当たりにし、「おでん漫遊記」をよんだ幼少期の衝動が、ヤマトを生かしているのではないかなと感じています。

Also an alternate translation attempt
> You were chosen to play the role of Yamato who is an extremely popular character all over the world, so what is your impression of Yamato?
< Hayami: I believe her charm comes from her so earnestly believing her own feelings which results in her proclaiming herself to "be" Kozuki Oden. You see, for Yamato her gender and her blood relations are secondary. What's most important is her admiration for Oden and the man he was. That is the reason why she calls herself Kaido's "son" and why she want to open Wano to the world by defeating her own father Kaido. I believe by reading "Oden's Voyage Log" and becoming witness to his way of life gave Yamato this urge in her early childhood. I feel that this must be what kept her alive.

Just realized that Shinobu's power is just like Jewelry Bonney except it only matures things (according to her). Bonney lass can only affect living things from what is seen, but shinobu can affect both inanimate and living things (soil and Momo). Also young shinobu is qt and somewhat distinct from all the Nami clones that plague the Post-TS series (though most of the Wano arc has had that thankfully). Bonney needs to make her young again.

Bloated cast and bloat in general. WCI and Wano both have multiple intersecting plotlines that all are somewhat important combined with multiple chars having a fight, even if stuff is offscreened there's a shitton. Also more and more information comes with each arc, ffs last chapter or whatever introduced some new info dealing with king. Katakuri fight was awesome tho and I wish the luffy and kaido fight was on the same level but it keeps getting sidetracked or some other shit.
oh and almost (not really but still) back to back arcs, dressrosa then wano were/are the longest arcs in the manga and show, rosa took over a year and had boring content (tonttas) and slogs (tournament, birdcage) and wano has been going on since 2018, and before wano wci was 70+ chapters.

Idk really. Like many I used to really "obsess" over OP in form of theorizing all kinds stuff. I really immersed myself in the world. I couldn't wait to see how all this worldbuilding an lore was coming alltogether and I loved the characters their personalities and even the powersystem although there were better animes concerning that.

WCI was somewhat of a slog, but I still kept invested you knnow? Reading every new chapter like a fucking looser, but the hype for wano was unreal and I just accepted the wait.
Reverie was what slowly finnished it for me though. The arc was too good. We saw Imu and got a lot of information that I personally was speculating about for years.

But inside a few chapters of Wano I lost interest. By that point I couldn't stand the strawhats and the annyoing tropes surrounding most of them. The storytelling has become stale and I couldn't bother to wait evey third week for oda to sit out another week. So I just kinda stopped reading and watching.

Now its been 3 years and I still haven't picked it up again and I think I never will again. If you step back from OP and look at it objectively you see that beside all the praise for Oda as a genius and his near perfect story, this manga has a lot of flaws. The main cast has devolved into mostly tropes after the timeskip, the powersystem is incosisten etc.. A part of me thinks that maybe Oda doesn't care anymore and wants to milk it before finally finishing it.

I still look into it from time to time, just so I can see the big moments like Roger and Whitebeard fighting and all the plot points resolving and sometimes I watch a youtube video by some nerd trying to "analyse" fucking usopp as he is some sort of analogy for a deeper philosophical issue lol. Reminds me of the nerd I was back then. Probably watch the ending too when it arrives just to see what the one piece was all about

Sorry for rambling, but I just find it interesting, how I have lost almost all interest for series I used to obsess over

As you said, bloated; it's suffering from DBZ type power creep. The flashbacks defining Roger and Whitebeard demonstrate their strength at the prime of their lives but shit is just getting too ridiculous in many characters.
DressRosa, if you skipped a lot of time-wasting bullshit, is fun and the tournament is something that had been new to the story. The manga is better in that regard at least.

Joyboy only appeared and got referenced concretely since Fishman Island. Oda retroactively looks back and tries to tie things back to older stuff. It's not bad but it starts to stretch thin at times.

Pirate media is kind of inherently libertarian. The popular mythos tends toward being lolbert, because it's about the dream of discovering personal wealth by ripping people off and being captain of a ship where you boss people around. The reality of piracy was much more left-libertarian, which does come across in some shows, where there's an explicit antagonism between colonial empires and the pirates, some of whom pointedly are deserters from the navy (who may have been press-ganged into service in the first place). Idk about One Piece but a shounen would probably lean to the left side of that spectrum given the typical themes of friendship and all that stuff which conflicts with the lolbert shit about being a cutthroat out for treasure and willing to kill any of your comrades at a moment's notice.

Just a thought that occurred to me but have we seen half-fishman hybrids in series? There's the half-mermaid daughter of Big Mom, Charlotte Praline (who is just a mermaid, no hybrid features seen) and the GIant-fishman hybrids (that are just big fishmen TBH). The only human-fshman hybrid is Dellinger and it's almost unnoticeable in both.
https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Wotans
https://archive.ph/gDC2n

It'd be interesting a concept because of the existing taboo of human-fishman blood transfusions, so the thought of human-fishman children is interesting as would be Nami's reaction to such a thing for example. Hell, given the Fishman's similarity to real life enslavement of Africans (For example all of them have colored skin, have imposing strength and many have plump lips similar to slightly caricaturesque portrayals of Black people), the concept of such a hybrid ought to be very controversial in general, as kind of a reactionary response ought to be garnered a similar to /pol/s anger about interracial. An entire mini-arc could be made focusing on Nami and such a hybrid and her demonstrating her moving on from Arlong and her acceptance of Fishmen after Fishman Island and Hacchan, that'd have her defend such a child's "blasphemous" existence. OR thought kinda unfitting of the story tone, Nami herself hooking up with a Fishman at the End of Series.
This is all unlikely given that the plot is clearly way past that at this point, but it's an interesting thought.

As a side note I find it interesting that

Been watching the animu now and then because I keep seeing this shit everywhere. The story and characters are good, but the low quality of the animation is getting very annoying.

Look up the episodes and just skip the ones that are padding. The animation is kinda bad but its from the early 2000s so the quaint aspects are something I like personally, it might not be to your taste. The anime peaks in the Grand-Line arcs (Little Garden, Drum Island, Alabasta, Skypeia, Marine8 etc) After the Time-skip I suggest only watching past the Fishman island arc, and just looking at youtube clips for certain manga scenes in the anime, because the overall episodes drag on like balls through glass and the animation becomes even shittier than back in the beginning of the anime. So read the manga too, and the anime as additional content.

As for the movies I suggest:
- Dead End Adventure
- Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island
- The Cursed Holy Sword
- The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle
- One Piece Film Z
- One Piece Film Gold
- Strong World
- Clockwork Island Adventure
- One Piece: The Movie
- Defeat Him! The Pirate Ganzack
These are all either fun or interesting, though The Secret Island is kinda fucked up. Try to follow chronological order for them though or you'll spoil some of the canon for yourself
Don't bother with Film Red or Stampede, they're garbage.

Oda realized he can't promote killing the monarchy for their crimes if he already has monarchs that are "good" in the story, mostly because he's trying to avoid a conflict of interests among aligned characters such as Luffy, Sabo and Dragon. Thus it's going to be a misunderstanding or "sacrifice" in the story. Oda is honestly tired of One Piece (thus Film Red being so off key compared to the rest of the series) and has basically placed himself into a narrative hole, thus the rush to end the series. I predict they'll probably stretch it out for a couple more years ending in a climactic battle and the finding of the One Piece and Luffy becoming Pirate King. He'll probably even reject the treasure if only because 'it'll limit his freedom' or something like that.

Oda needs "good kings" and even "good dynasties" in order for the Poneglyph plot device to work. If you want to have a whole culture devoted to protecting something they don't understand, you can't give them any motivation other than cultural heritage and muh ancestors told me to. And you need to maintain continuity for maybe centuries, so you gotta have somebody with the power to keep focused on the given task.

Ironically this clashes directly with the central theme of "follow your dreams," but it's glossed over because it seems like people in cultures with this task don't have enough rebellious spirit in them to move beyond the past. It even rubs off on people tangentially related like Noland's descendants who instead of seeking vindication for their ancestors could have just moved on.

It's a weird internal tension that confuses the story when it could make it more interesting. Just present the setup in a more ambiguous light or offer criticism of it. Or alternatively have a secret society that does understand the purpose of the task who is handling these things. But I'm not that far into the series so maybe there's a reason why this is how Oda wrote it.

Anime is targeted at the Japanese audience, if anything it should encourage the Japs to revolt. The problem is, gritty and dystopian anime isn't popular, there's a heavy trend towards wish fullfillment and escapism. Hence the popularity of the slice-of-life anime. And the only gritty anime that still gathers hype is NGE. But it has nothing to do with the daily life, even Serial Experiments Lain is better than it in that regard. What do we have? Giant robots. Schoolboy's problems. Daddy issues.

If anything, dystopias should be doubled down upon, there's not enough worldbuilding, it's just a backdrop. The point isn't to depict the present day, cyberpunk stories try not to depict the present day but to send a message.

I hate analogies. You have to already be a socialist to make that connection. The cast has mental issues because the author has mental issues, simple as that. Albeit comparing piloting robots to having a job is interesting, even if it doesn't fully work since it's more of a child labor, it's not even paid. Now, if you compared piloting robots to child labor that would have more ground, even though, again, the series doesn't focus on this fact enough as far as I know (and I haven't watched the show so take it with the grain of salt).

 No.19807

>>19806 (cont.)
And again, the cast having mental issues is not because of piloting a robot but because they were already like that before since they all have issues with their families, social skills, alcoholism, etc. When it comes to anything bringing them mental issues it's actually the horrors of war (which is a nice anti-militarist message to all those warmongering reactionaries in Japan).

 No.19809

>>19807 (cont.)
In short, the anime points at the cast's issues and paints them as problems with upbringing rather than any outside influence, even if it shows some anti-militarist undertones by having the cast undertake suffering and making them absolutely terrified of fighting (Shinji and Asuka are too shell-shocked to even get into the mechas).

No, not really, don't be an ideologue. You can understand human psychologies and text-text or text-life analogies without being a communist, because you don't need to be of an ideology to have critical thinking, to be able to reflect on things and to be able to empathize.

no, i watched it even before becoming a leftist and thought that piloting robots was an analogy for school and work, and the hundreds of thousands of otaku who watched it got the same feeling. it's obviously anti-military, but nge's massive popularity is partially built by the way the show makes it easy to connect a lot of social pressures (for most people school/work) to piloting the robot, even down to the justifications for doing it (for society, for your family, for recognition etc)
it would never reach the level of popularity it has if it didn't include an element present in a lot of people's lives. i agree that child labour and anti-militarism are significant themes of the show, but the anti-work, anti-school sentiment, the way these institutions crush mental health and throw away their subjects is pretty obvious, especially when you consider that eva came out in the 90s

Duh. Doesn't mean that certain themes you think are presented were the intent or the primary focus or that others will think the same. Again, it's not a terribly bad analogy. I just feel that it's not that strong compared to an anti-war theme.
>>19859
>but nge's massive popularity is partially built by the way the show makes it easy to connect a lot of social pressures (for most people school/work)
School maybe. The main character is a teenager, he is forced by his father to do what he doesn't want to do and interact with people he doesn't want to interact with. That's actually a stronger analogy than work. Although one can say that schools are an analogy to work which are an analogy to the prison system. There we go, now both the students, the workers and the prisoners of Alkatras can find NGE relatable, I can play your game pretty well too.

Let's put it this way: there are multiple "layers" of meaning, each progressively more distant from the actual plot (not like there can be an accurate gradation judging by how much of a mess NGE's plot is):
1. PTSD
2. Child labor
3. School
4. Work
5. Prison system

I see the gradation that way. The work analogy is just weaker than the previous three. But in the end I'll just quote Tolkien on this one:

<I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history – true or feigned– with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse applicability with allegory, but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author.


>even down to the justifications for doing it (for society, for your family, for recognition etc)

And how does it not apply to war also? That's literally the typical coping soldiers do to justify going to war. If anything, this says more about the war-like nature of the capitalist workplace than about the allegory for the workplace being the intent. Maybe people associate themselves with the characters because they have something in common with the classcucks than some like to admit.

Maybe the proletariat is a kind of soldiers. Doing what the bourgeoisie tell them to, no questions asked. There are no "fake" proletarians, everyone is "just doing their job." It's just so happens that some jobs actively harm the revolutionary project. But that's the problem of the revolutionaries, not the proletariat.

Anyway, I don't really want this argument to go for too long, all of this doesn't really matter, this is an argument over essentially nothing. I hope that I have at least made myself clear.

I hope this is an early teaser and they'll pull a Sonic and redo it. Zoro is passable at least but Luffy is just terrible (seriously, Oda himself said that IRL he'd be a Brazilian, and his attitude is loud and confident, there is nothing like that here, it's like Goku from that terrible Dragon Ball Z movie.
>*eyes flicking back and forth nervously "I'm sensing a little bit of tension…"
Fucking what was this line, what was this performance?!

Buggy looks cool although I feel like they're trying to ape off the recent Joker too much.
Usopp's lack of long nose is terrible, he looks like a bad Pirates of the Caribbean cosplayer
Nami looks okayish, not good nor bad.
Sanji looks WAY too manly and has no curly brows.

The other fishmen look better tbh. Arlong got the most complaints out of any part of the trailer. They're obviously informing choices based on things revealed much later in the story (like Roger being visibly sick). They might be trying to leave a different impression with Arlong since the full context with the fishmen and Fisher Tiger is in the background of that now (Oda probably hadn't decided on that and Toei certainly didn't know). He's also at Baratie and Buggy's circus, so he's probably chasing Nami in this version. That would suggest a significant change in characterization.

 No.20686

Oda still wrote those benevolent monarchs to begin with. One Piece's world isn't real so it's not like having to cope with a status quo that really exists; it's a world he built based on his own personal worldviews. there are so many legit socialist/marxist creators, mostly from the showa era, it's really weird to fixate on Eiichiro Oda of all people. get the original, more politically overt Legend of Kamui manga translated; Shirato was an open marxist.

The captain was basically just a specialist whose authority was acknowledged for being an expert, not the Head Mother Fucker In Charge as usually portrayed. The quartermaster was closer to that but still not really, more of a manager. Disobeying captain's orders during combat was often punishable by death, but everyone agrees to that in advance because it's critical to have everyone coordinated in high-stakes and fast-moving situations.

The reason they are redoing it is because the original version is a weekly format running in parallel with the source material.

More likely they are doing a re-adaptation of the manga so none of that stuff will be there for that reason.

The teaser did have Mayumi Tanaka doing Luffy's voice though. A lot of the voice actors are pretty old to commit to restarting the series, even though they are basically synonymous with the characters for a huge audience. The original is already huge so it's kind of weird to try to replace it, despite the glaring flaws. You could say the manga deserves a "proper" treatment but the current One Piece anime has some of the biggest ever shoes to fill.

The remake benefits from knowing the greater arc of the series, compared to the original debuting 2 years after the manga (out of a likely 30 year run). The shift from traditional to digital animation and the time constraints also made it hard to keep a consistent look throughout. So yes hopefully they will be more consistent and better in this regard and not do something like picrel. Kind of crazy just how quickly they went off the rails in the grand scheme of things.
