I think its more likely that the movie was timed around the manga. Setting up Shanks for a later part in the manga

Fairly certain the fruit is considered a failure because Vegapunk was not able to clone the "Will" or "Awakening" inside the fruit. So if vegapunk targeted the Nika Nika, there would be no Nika. Just rubber man.

With Luffy potentially recognizing Shanks via haki, it's been mentioned multiple times that Luffy in particular "sees" character/intentions in people through his haki. Rayleigh was taken aback by this when he was first training him when Luffy mentioned that what kind of person someone was would influence his decisions

[@kevinaguirre9306]

Huh, I didn't interpret it as that, originally I took it as Rayleigh being surprised and amused that Luffy judged someone's character before deciding how to fight them. But I like this theory alot

[@XxxMrMarcusxxX]

During his training with Rayleigh, Luffy has to dodge 100 hits blinfolded. After dodging 99 hits, Luffy also dodges the 100th. Rayleigh is surprised because he says he completely concealed his presence for the final attack and he asks Luffy how he dodged. Luffy then tells Rayleigh that he felt him smile just before he swung the stick. That was when Rayleigh noticed Luffy's obervation haki could notice emotion and intent.

2 things I loved most this chapter. Momo becoming an amazing leader and brave person. It's insane that the little boy we met at Punk Hazard is now attacking admirals with boro breath to protect his country. And Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Jinbe just chilling there, watching the fight and complimenting Momo really shows how far they've come as a crew. 2 years ago they were at an admiral's mercy.

[@jarinxcii263]

Aokiji said he’s been a Marine for years but the notoriety the Strawhats had was scary because they gained so much power in a short space of time. First year Luffy beat Alvida, Buggy, Kuro, Don Krieg, Arlong, Crocodile, Blueno, Rob Lucci, Moria & a Celestial dragon. That’s crazy. It took Luffy just 2 years to become a Yonko & he hasn’t even reached his peak. I would say right now Luffy & Kaido are 50-50 strength wise. That’s no easy feat

[@cegolau]

I liked how the monster quartet wasn't even bothered by the fact that there was an admiral there. After defeating a yonko, a single admiral is basically nothing to the crew right now.

[@jamses4532]

Oh I love this! Crazy thing is it would still fit Vegapunk's characterization from Punk Hazard when he tried to stop Ceasar. More and more I'm liking the idea of Momo's fruit being a failure became a missdirection. The less funny, but potentially more plausible explanation, is that the fruit is a failure because it can't awaken or isn't a real DF. The fact Kaido's fruit is a fish not a dragon implies his awakening is the dragon form. Momo only has the abilities of the fruit, it isn't an exact replica of Kaido's, therefore a failure in Vegapunk's eyes.

[@AnonymousEnigma19]

I still think I understand why he called it a failure because has anyone seen Momo in his hybrid form yet?

[@todddempsey1277]

My theory about it being a failure is that while Vegapunk succeeded at the transformation aspect, but he didn’t get the other powers quite right. thus why Momo has been having problems with stuff like flame clouds and boro breath.

As was established by Zunesha back on Zou when he sunk Jack's fleet, a fish man eating a devil fruit does not remove a fishman's ability to breath under water, they just get stuck. So devil fruit or otherwise, Jack could have still have made it to the bottom even while being drained by his devil fruit's weakness, which would make your second, more hilarious theory, much more plausible and would make a lot of sense for Oda lmao. Just imagine Kaido hooking Jack to the end of a fishing line and repeatedly casting until he happened to land on the poneglyph.

In the Fishman Island arc Luffy was shown to be able to move around in sea water, although greatly weakened. Jack isn't as strong as Luffy but he is a fishman so even weakened he should be more adept at moving through water than a human of comparable or greater strength. And since the water under Wano is rain water and not sea water there is a chance that the weakening is diminished enough that Jack could have sluggishly waddled through the water. ... But dangling Jack on a fishing line is significantly more amusing.

[@thehaymaker3660]

I actually disagree where you say Shank's appearance is contrived for the sake of film promotion. Once Luffy defeated Kaido everyone wanted to see Shank's reaction as it seemed like the criteria for Luffy becoming a "great pirate" had been fulfilled. And Shanks actually being present at Wano is way for exciting than another cutaway reaction of him reading a newspaper.

[@koldraiynedownskayle5744]

Agreed. Lucky Roo and Building Snake even referred to Luffy as a great pirate. Shanks, however, knows that's just one part of the promise. Luffy and his crew must surpass Shanks and his. I don't necessarily think that means that all of them must be able to defeat a Red-Haired Pirate in combat, but the Straw Hats need a little something extra before Shanks feels the time is right....especially due to a Grand Fleet member starting a conflict with Shanks.

No hate but I feel like the character popped out from nowhere and hasn't really made an impact on the story yet. Momo could literally have found the logbook on his own and things would be the same.

Honestly the longer Yamato's around, the more I find myself just hoping he would stay on Wano, because for one that seems like the route to open up more interesting avenues to explore his character (if he were to realize how Oden had failed Wano and decided to go against what he did based on that, it would help to finally showcase some definitive growth from Yamato as his own person, instead of a continuous stream of Oden-wannabeism) and secondly so far his only actually interesting character dynamic (arguably sans Kaido) has been with Momo. And yeah, despite how much spotlight Yamato got to hog for himself during the raid and how he was lampshaded as one of the strongest fighters involved, he has somehow simultaneously managed to accomplish absolutely nothing of note since his introduction. It's honestly ridiculous.

I think momo fruit is considered a failure cuz he doesn't have a hybrid form. Well, he hasnt shown it yet. You'd think after the weeks of healing after the yonko fight he'd train his abilities.

I’ve always guessed it was because it couldn’t awaken. I remember ever seeing Kaido’s awakening, could be all the dragon forms could not. If we may ever see Kaido’s awakening we are in for a treat. I believe Momonosuke will be able to use hybrid atleast by the end of the series.

I’m now wondering if/when Luffy will learn how to target specific targets the way Shanks did in this chapter, does that mean that he will learn it while sparring/fighting Shanks? And another thing, if walls suddenly appeared around Wano forming it’s protective barriers, does that mean that it was likely a devil fruit power and that the same power was used to create the Red Line?

[@AbrahamArthemius]

If you remember when Jack's ship was utterly destroyed by Zunesha, we actually got to see that Jack survived but he can't actually move or anything and just stuck there at the bottom of the sea/ocean. So base on Jack's case then a Fishmen/Mermaid who ate a DF can still survive being drowned in water but they basically become immobile.

Going to say it again, Liam. I hope you see this. The only word we have of Momos fruit being a failure was third-hand from one of Ceaser Clowns lackeys. Ceaser constantly lied to them, and told them the fruit was a failure. Vegapunk and the Narrator never confirmed the fruit was a failure.

The thing with Jack, Devil fruits mainly remove the user's ability to swim the weakness part is probably an added on minor side effect.

Can momo swim? I mean is he physically able to? He doesn’t seem like he drown compare to everyone else who are a df. Maybe that’s why it’s a “failure”. Because there was no weakness

[@tobiaswedin]

If you look at the panels as a sequence you can actually see that the conqueror's haki is putting Greenbull out of his logia form! And I really can't see the Uta in that silhouette. First, that's not a mic as some say it's part of an arm. Secondly, if it's based on the bow shape saying it's her hair there is already a canon character that fits better; Shirahoshi. She has her hair in a bow like Uta and she would actually be important for this new era (since that image was shown as he was speaking of the new er) as Posseidon. Plus it'd make sense to shade her out in the context of Shanks thinking about the important people of the new era as he's never seen her due to her being locked in a tower but knows that she exist due to the prophecy Shyarly gave Roger.

[@patricknez7258]

I love the idea that Vegapunk thought it was a failure bc of pink instead of blue. Spot on! I feel that fits well. Only other thing I could think of, but idk how Vegapunk could determine this, would be if the copy fruit can't achieve flame dragon form, which I think was Kaido's awakening but idk

[@joel-k]

While I agree that explaining jokes makes them funnier, you have to admit that this statement is very dependent on different factors. The most important condition that has to be fulfilled is that the person you're telling the joke has the right sense of humor. Without dry humor, that can understand hilariousness of the acted desperation of trying to make someone understand the joke, it is impossible the achieve a true sense of funny. Another important factor is the way you are explaining a joke. If you go about it very factual, as if you were holding a boring school presentation, you won't get any laughs. Although there may be different techniques which work better with different people, like explaining in a very scientific way or sadly mumble your explanation, as if it deeply hurts you that the other person doesn't get it, probably the best one is to explain something that is very obvious whilst acting as if you think it would be hard to understand, whilst also keeping the explanation short, so the hilarity of the actual joke helps with the explanation. I guess I could go on or further expand my explanations, but that should give you a rough idea why explaining jokes can be funny, but doesn't always have to be

[@k-oticheart1573]

Momo's DF might have been considered a failure for the simple fact that it doesn't first transform him into a fish. I could definitely see Vegapunk considering it a failure just because it wasn't exactly like Kaido's.

[@knightofscorpio6312]

It's probably also considered a failure because of the fact that the transformation initially turned out the way that it did for Momo when he first got it, a really weak dragon with inconsistent abilities. But I felt like it's not just the age of the person, but the time they've had the fruit. And considering the time progression that Momo had, it's almost like the time it takes to awaken a devil fruit. So I don't think that any person that probably tested out the fruit had the same amount of time with it to truly see its potential.

[@lordazazil]

But neither did Kaido's fruit. So is Kaido's own, the original fruit, a failure as well? There is no reason to believe that Kaido first got to transform into a fish and later into a dragon. The fish-stuff is just the legend behind the fruits naming and the ability of its dragon-form By your logic the ancient zoans were dragons before become dinosaurs? (They are all named Ryu Ryu No Mi, Model: xxxx) And every other zoan was just a "normal animal" before become the real deal? (Remember, Rob Lucci ate the Neco Neco No Mi, Model: Leopard. Was he a pet cat before becoming a Leopard?) "Uo Uo No Mi, Model Seiryu" just follows the naming scheme.

@@revimfadli4666 no, but there is still no pointer in the manga that gives reason to believe Kaido's fruit works that way. And why would the dinosaur fruits just be called 'ryu' instead of 'kyoryu', the actual term for 'dinosaur'. Everything points towards 'simple naming scheme' instead of 'fish before dragon'. Edit: so was Sengoku's fruit useless for a long period of time? Buddha was a human man before his enlightenment. So Sengoku could only transform into a human at first?
