Alabasta SAGA DISCUSSION Questions! (Eps 61 - 130)

IDK if anyone has mentioned this, but as a popular pirate feature (such as Hook and Pegleg), Oda has only been using those in the design of some particular characters. Since we saw Pegleg and Hook at this point, what would you want/expect for future character design?

Risrka

With so many good question already being ask. I just want you guys to know, it’s okay to just be you honest self and not be overwhelmed by the shear numbers of fan. I for one at always happy to hear different takes than the ones I had.

Sonicluis

what are your thoughts about the new crew members + vivi? i'm not sure if you have been spoiled but how many crew members do you expect? are you enjoying how the main cast keep expending?

leno ;;

naruto reactions on discord, if you link your discord to your patreon account you should join automatically therse a tab on there with all the shippuden uncuts, but we didnt do uncuts for OG naruto

BOLDcast

You guys were surprised that Jango showed up, as you should, because in the manga there is always a title page with a drawing and sometimes they tell canon stories, like Jango joining, but the anime stopped adapting them after the Buggy searching his body parts cover story. So my question would be if you want to react to the cover stories? Since most of them have important canon information in them. You just need someone to get them for you and tell you when you can read them. Most of them are very short. Every page is just one drawing with a subtitle.

Dzenis

When you started One Piece, did you expect the story to take the course it did??? Or did you have other expectations?

Mariam

Is there a character that you hated it but ended up liking it??? {other than Vivi.}

Mariam

I wanna know what you think about the warlord system. And also what you expect to see from the other warlords in the future.

Hotaru Ichimaru

In the future, what do you think the job (cook, doctor, musician etc.) of the next crewmate (or all of them) will end up being and why?

After watching the show for 120+ episodes and seeing how interesting/crazy/weird the abilities can be, what sort of power-ups or boosts do you think members of the crew will get in upcoming arcs of the series?

Abraham Lever

I doubt this answer has changed since the last discussion but what do you think the One Piece actually is? I enjoy seeing the evolution of peoples thought process on this

lionstooth

How do you feel about luffy as an Mc

Nathan Chartrand

How do you think Crocodile compares to Mihawk, the only other warlord you have seen up to this point in terms of character design and strength?

Hoid

opinion on the water weakness to sand with crocodile? does it make sense? or only somewhat? do you like it or not?

Tobi.SG

I've got several questions, choose whichever one's interests you the most. - When do you think that Oda realized the story he wanted to tell with this arc? - What are your thoughts on the 2 pieces of more classical music used in One Piece thus far The Ave Maria during Chopper’s arc, and Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 From the New World Mvmt. 4 used in the last half of episode 126? - Which is your favorite ending theme so far? - If you’ve seen Opening 3 what do you think about what it spoiled?

David Butt

So far you guys have seen a good amount of Devil Fruit powers and you guys know of one type by name (Zoan). If you could have a DF Power, what would it be? I’m interested to see how close you can get to picking a DF that already exists (that you don’t know about of course). If you can be as specific as possible and also explain how it would work as part of the crew or how you would use it to help your own crew that would be great.

GumGumBeatz

Episode 129 and 130 please before Ark DISCUSSION.

lets talk about ace luffy's brother, and what could that paper that he gave him be. question: (is there an archive of full length naruto reactions?)

Ronald Fitzgerald

Your expectations for the next 200 episodes, bold predictions, the world building so far.

David Jaegers

After watching the alabasta arc and having watched a little over 100+ episodes, what do you think of Luffy as an Mc? And what about one piece have you liked so far, specifically the alabasta saga/arc?

Kiki Varas

What do you feel about the fake-out deaths that Oda likes to pull every now and then? What are your favorite side characters introduced during the saga? Best character dynamic in the crew and best duo?

EOussama

I would like your top 5 characters in the show, also can you rank the strawhats (who do you like more... who do you like the least)?

JManuelRM

How do you feel about the world building so far? From Syrup village, Loguetown, Drum, Alabasta which island/setting has been your favourite? If you lived in One piece, where would you choose to live?

Hustler

Are you surprised with how mature one piece can be when it comes to certain topics? Like family, abuse, war etc

Ghost Meep

At this point you probably learned that Luffy is totally different MC then Naruto, or Gon. Do you like him? Or you feel that he lack something in personality or etc.

Jack Shadow

what are your thoughts on mr 2?

Double_P94

100Rainy

- Aside from Pell, what's one thing you would change about the arc? - Any personal favorite side characters? - Were you satisfied with Tashigi's role and character arc in Alabasta? - Anyone in particular you wish to see more of in the future? - Would you ever consider reacting to the one piece movies at some point? Now that you're post-alabasta there's a few good ones you can watch.

100Rainy

Who was your favorite Strawhat at the start of the series versus now and why? Who do you think has had the best/most character change/growth so far?

ChocoBoshi

Do you plan on reading/reacting to the cover stories?

Mardy

In light of our crew's goals and the story's original point (the search for the One Piece), how integral does this Saga feel to you at this point? Does it or its parts feel essential, or like a side-quest, and how do you predict that might change or develop with time?

Veritas

Now that you have met chopper what way do you think the live action will handle him. also here ar the ages of the strawhats, robin is 28, zoro and sanji are 19, nami is 18 and, luffy and usopp are 17, and chopper is 15

megalazyguy

One of the greater plot twists in this arc was Nico Robin joining the straw hats at the end. What are your predictions for this character moving forward in the story. What motives do you think she has and how is her inclusion going to enhance the story of one piece.

Artimes

From the devil fruits you know off right now, which one do you think has the potential to generate you the most wealth?

Eldrick Simmons

Top 3 arcs so far and why? (A bit surprisingly, we've gone through 11 canon arcs already!)

Figbeet

I think the harsh reality is Karoo won't likely be more than a reference.

Tate Wheatley

- Chopper's devil fruit was mentioned as a "Zoan" type, i.e. enabling transformation to an animal form. What other classifications of devil fruits do you think exist? - What do you think Nico Robin did as a child to warrant a 79 mil bounty? - What's do you guess Ace's bounty is, based on what you've seen from him?

Figbeet

You guys have mentioned this a couple of times, but there is an ever constant sense of growth and progress to the show. I bet at the end of the east blue you guys didn’t think they would have to stop a civil war where thousands would die. How do you see this world growing, and what kind of adventures do you think the gang will get into? How can they top Alabasta? Blackbeard, Whitebeard, Ace, why were we introduced to these characters, what’s Oda cooking here? And lastly, how has Luffy grown?

Manu_C

I'm interested in your thoughts on what season 2 of the live action might be like. What do you think will be cut or changed, and what do you think is integral for the story/characters from what you know so far? Also, what would you both like to see adapted, regardless of significance?

Tate Wheatley

Favorite pairing throughout the arc? Is there a straw hat pairing you want to see/see more of in future arcs?

Ty

How do you guys feel about Vivi's character Arc and how it has progressed through the story up until this point? Also shoutout Karoo!

Nazo

Is crocodile your favorite villain so far? Or is it somebody else?

on1dino

What were your favorite parts of the arc? and what were the worst parts of the arc where you might have felt cheated or the plot didn't make sense?. Also considering the events that happened in the arc what do you expect from the story moving moving forward(predictions, etc...)?

astroplace

What have been your favorite fight scenes? How are you liking the power system as of Alabasta? And most impactful moment so far?

Whoopsie

What did you think about Crocodiles true goal of acquiring Pluton and what a weapon like that could mean for the rest of the series?
