Matthew Gilroy

Me and Artemis have made up in the discord. There is no bad blood between us now. Let us commence watching and enjoying One Piece

Ty

This hair length looks really good on you carson 👍

L.Joy

I always laugh when I think about Crocodile this arc, he's all over the place 😂

Matthew Gilroy

Akainu is a goat. The man is soloing everyone despite having recently been hit by two point-blank quake attacks by Whitebeard. Aokiji and Kizaru just chilling and being laid back as usual. Crocodile once again coming in clutch, having stopped a previous Ace execution attempt, and now saving Luffy's life when it matters the most. Packed episode🔥🔥

Hoid

Yeah Akainu is a scary dude

Domi No

Dont know if it ever gets mentioned in the anime, but every Admiral (and some vice admirals) follows his own type of justice which are labeled as: Absolute Justice (Akainu), Lazy Justice (Aokiji) & Unclear Justice (Kizaru)

Matthew Gilroy

NOTE👀🔥🔥😈: This is to do about both character writing and power in One Piece so far. I highly suggest reading this👍🏽 To Lindsey's point about Akainu being more interesting than the other Admirals, bear in mind that if you think about it, the characters at Marineford haven't been explored that much in the story so far. This applies to most characters. Like think about it, how much focus have we had on characters like Kizaru, Marco, Jimbei, Sengoku etc where we had a deep dive and exploration of their characters? What I respect about Marineford is that it can be such an entertaining arc despite us not knowing much at all about these characters from a character writing perspective. I can't wait for the next 700 episodes and beyond🔥 And you know, Akainu really shined this arc as he represents absolute justice. A marine through and through. The heavy focus on him in this arc makes 100% sense. He finds it paramount to defeat Whitebeard and carry out Ace's execution. On the other hand, we have Kizaru and Aokiji. A lot more nuanced. They haven't been a focus in this arc because of this. They represent other kinds of justice. I can't remember if these have been mentioned so I won't say them here. But yeah, Marineford isn't an arc where Kizaru and Aokiji would shine. It wouldn't really fit for their characters to be explored here, when there traits established so far act as a hindrance for them to really get involved in the war. The same could be said for some Warlords too. From a writing perspective, it would make sense for us to explore these characters when the time is right P. S. Carson, I still disagree with your "vibes" argument. One Piece is a lot more complicated and nuanced than people give it credit for. Not just in themes like with Skypeia, but also power. Like here 41:46 where you say the Navy forces were rivalled by one pirate Armada and that it was pretty close. Pretty disingenuous, no?😅 The Warlords weren't really involved and when they were they effortlessly shut that shit down (like Doflamingo and Kuma with Oars). Similarly, Akainu was the only Admiral that really fought Whitebeard. And even after his battle with Whitebeard, he's now fighting all the WB commanders, Jimbei, and Ivankov etc by himself. Interestingly, this directly relates to my point about the traits of some characters established so far that kind of explain why they weren't really involved in the war at all and didn't go all out at all. Carson, you say it yourself this episode. Kizaru is focusing on fodder for the most part, and Aokiji just "thumbs ups" Jimbei😂. This episode really puts into perspective all the things I've been saying. Can't wait for the rest🔥🔥

Absolutely loved that discussion section This is why I subscribed for sure🫡❤️

Sanji Joestar

Akainu is such a terrifying pursuing force that I'm convinced his taunt over Ace is just A way to get to him. Jinbe and the others TRYING to run away from him just shows it's almost impossible to run away from him unless people keep standing in the way. Whitebeard was fighting Kizaru, Marco was cuffed and the others barely made it to them when it happened. Not to mention that Luffy's legs gave in around that time, he couldn't even stand up. Ace might be irrational for responding to his jabs but it might have been a better option for him to protect Luffy that way than Akainu catching up to them. Just look at Jinbe, he almost got Ace'd too😭

Sanji Joestar

Captain Buggy! Captain Buggy ! The Hero we never knew we needed. Crocodile channeling his inner pettiness to not let the Navy claim another Win after Ace and Whitebeard. We'll take that. And now we have Trafalgar Law! What's his deal!!

Extra Crispy

The Black Beard method. Step 1 talk shit Step 2 get your shit rocked Step 3 profit Somewhere in there you conceptualize and execute a genius scheme but really that’s secondary to the primary 3 steps.

Sanji Joestar

When it comes to the Navy and their place and symbol within the world, the dialogue takes a couple of extra layers. Love that you brought up Belmer cuz she's one of the few we know who actually retired from the Navy. For different reasons but still she was a hero for her time, even in her own tiny version of the bigger world. Now with Garp, Smoker, Koby and Akainu the conversation keeps branching up.

Shinra Tensei

Akainu is probably my favorite villain along with Doflamingo

Alex V

Law nickname is "surgeon of death", it was mentioned when Oda showed all of the rookies

Sonicluis

I 100 appreciate your discussion of akainu. Putting myself back in this episode, I always hate the two main villains Blackbeard and akainu. But I grew respect and understanding like you guys for the exact reason you describe.

Isaac Sato

10/10 on the Akainu stuff. I completely agree, he's the most interesting admiral by far.

Kossain

Love the discussion as always

Monkey D.offy Lucci

I don’t think Akainu or Sakazuki had any remorse or conflicting feelings for destroying the evacuation ship at Ohara.

Oussama Essamadi

Great Jesse impression Carson lmao. Jinbei does not rest man, how many Ws did he farm this arc? Clearly not enough. It's so rewarding seeing Blackbeard getting smacked right after talking his shit lmao.

Jack Shadow

For me, Akainu is just the best antagonist of One Piece. He didn't try to act like he came to this war to have fun or because of order. No, Akainu actually believes that pirates and outlaws should be in jail or dead. Also, he never showed any respect to Whitebeard or any pirate that he met, except Roger, but he probably was just playing words because I doubt that he ever respected Roger. Unlike Sengoku and Garp who accepted Marinford's destruction by Whitebeard's hands, Akainu never gave up and never surrendered. He just knew one thing: he had to do something. And if Red Dog chose you as his target, it's over for you. Akainu is truly dedicated, Marrine, who is Lawful Evil, the perfect type of antagonist, and he believes that he is doing the right thing. He believes that he is fighting for normal people, for peace in the world.

ImZeaT

Law did get introduced as the "Surgeon of Death" back in Sabaody after all!

SomeoneElse

Akainu: "Absolute Justice". He is a great character.

Jack Shadow

Speaking about crocomom :D I feel that his behavior changed when he saw the WB decision on Skward actions. Also, it seems to me, that Crocodile faced WB a long time ago(Crocomom said can't believe that he losed to such a weak man, when Skward stabbed WB)

Envyus

For Akainu, his style of Justice is called Thorough Justice. To contrast Aokiji’s Lazy Justice, and Kizaru’s Unclear Justice.

Arkham

I am now invested in Hat Theory

Jay Varre

Ok I don’t remember was it next episode or what? I cant wait anymore

Extra Crispy

What makes Akainu especially dangerous and especially interesting to me is that he’s not sadistic. Almost every single antagonist that carry his traits manipulative intelligent powerful ruthless violent competent are also sadistic which is ultimately there flaw. You can look across media from stuff like game of thrones to hunter hunter and you will find characters like this. But Akainu is in no way sadistic he talks shit but not to gloat only to trick his opponents into bad positions. He will kill civilians not because he secretly enjoys it and is using “I’m just following orders as an excuse” but because he genuinely believes it’s the only way. Akainu is confident but not arrogant cruel but not sadistic he has none of the usual weaknesses heroes use to defeat villains.

Vinny C

I feel like this arc has really changed how you guys watch/discuss One Piece for the better. Really looking forward to more of your discussions going forward.

Aegon00

With Akainu, I think it’s a similar situation as with Askeladd in Vinland Saga. He’s done terrible things, but he’s strong and committed to a goal, that’s respectable. People respect unwavering resolve, even (or perhaps especially) when it follows a “the ends justify the means” approach.

beannie

i'm so excited for the podcast of this saga♡

Jack Shadow

Also speaking about Akainu in comparison to other villains such as Madara, Meruem, Chrollo or even BB. Akainu is just a soldier. He is doing his job without some hidden goal, for example, to rule the world, or gain more power. I can't even say that he loves to fight or kill. He is just doing what needs to be done, without second thoughts. And that made him so simple but special at the same time. He is smart, calm, and at the same time dedicated to his justice.

Daemedeor

Laws main attack is room (what looks like en), where he expands a domain and then slices things up. He has another main attack called shambles where he swaps the positions of things … with in the room he created

Fabulous

Kizaru is just lazy. If he was fighting seriously and not jumping from time to time, pirates would have been in more trouble

Fabulous

Laws fruit is OP

Whoopsie

I got blocked on twitter for saying Akainu is a cool villain 💀some people just hate the marines no matter what.

Zoodinger

Law was late to arrive because he was still in Sabaody and decided to join after the battle had already started. Especially after seeing Luffy was at the scene. So he didn't want to get involved at first but I think it's unclear whether he would have joined the actual fight if he had arrived earlier although it didn't seem to be his motivation.

Arvind C

probably the best ever discussion of you guys so far! Unreal insights!

Iris Mit

Crocomom to the rescue

Iris Mit

Shakky did say that Law's epithet is The Surgeon of Death back in Sabaody yellow submarine to the rescue

ignorantWeed

I love this discussion. Akainu is so good

emilio corvalan

I mean Hancock's fruit still needs people to be in love with her even for the kicks to turn people into stone, its just a given that everyone is suceptible to her power beacuse she is the most beatifull woman in the world The only diference in her attacks is based on range and number of people she wants to hit, if it's a close quarters fight she kicks them, if they are a lot of people and far away she use the arrows and so on.
