​@@Crazylom What I found about it. It has only one book reference (The Encyclopedia ofThings that Never Were, 1985 e 1998) and most of it's cultural aspects seems to be very local and passed orally. "In the enchanting world of Caribbean folklore, there exists a captivating character named JoyBoy. With roots that trace back to West African slaves, JoyBoy personifies the innate human need to dance, sing, and jubilate. Unlike the stern and repressive gods portrayed in many fantasy books, JoyBoy represents a deity who ignites joy, revelry, and even chaos." "Described as a source of joy and inspiration, JoyBoy’s dance and song have the extraordinary ability to lift the veil of despair (...) casting a spell of merriment and liberation through the power of music and dance."

And I'd be happy if she did, and/or any earlier ones (including Vivi) come back in the endgame and become 'final voyage companions' like Crocus and Oden were for Roger; however at this point I'm just not sure.

It makes sense this is possible since worm elder was shown to bring the ship a lot closer to land with his impressive throat “abilities”

[@MemeLordus]

If the gear 5th form isnt a devil fruit ability, but is instead the result of someone becoming truly free, then maybe the 5 elder’s demonic forms are the result of them being the opposite of truly free. Their demonic form contrasts with luffy’s gear 5 form and it could explain why they can go in water without issues.

He is making the manga weekly, helping with the Live Action that clearly is in filming for season 2 right now, likely will be majorly involved with the new anime as well as the current one and he has been writing more for new games and movies the last few years. Dude has a lot of projects to deal with and they only seem to be ramping up not slowing down. You get less of the main story for spinoffs and retellings with him at the front. That honestly seems to show he is at the top of his game in health to deal with when we have other creators who can hardly just keep up with a single project being the manga like our other gem of the island nation making Hunter X Hunter. That is what you can point to and go “I hope they are in good health.” He simply can’t work on other projects and the one he is doing is slow to release. I wish them both and many other creators the absolute best and a long lived future to see their creations until the end and hope for more after then.

The Romance Lives on is because of the cool Giant Mecha doing the fist punching! We all know that's the true romance to a man's heart 😌

I love the golem mythology. Also I am same way, I'm gun shy about believing someone will join until it's 100% official no takebacks.

I took Sanjis line as a way to express his content with being able to give Luffy a good whack.😂

anyone else is noticing the pokemon Sandy Shocks in some spots

[@SoulReaperNero]

I thought the „The romance lives on“ note was about the robot itself, since Franky always talks about the „romance“ of his cyborg-body, alluding to its masculinity and how all people love robots as well as stories about them (especially Luffy) - The romance lives on because the giant robot returned from the fathoms to fight the elders. And Luffy‘s eyes are ALIGHT with what Franky calls „romance“.

Having just gotten to Marineford in the anime, I am thoroughly convinced that Oda could make the whole next arc a mech fighting series and I would not complain.

i love that literally every judeaochristian reference is directly related to the WG

[@AnaxErik4ever]

The Golem of Prague was the immediate connection I made when hearing the iron giant’s name is Emeth. It is the word that brings said golem to life; Prince Groose in the new Gen Marines group also takes from this Jewish tale, creating mini golems to serve him in battle. We need to end Egg Head soon. It feels a bit too long for a short, but packed, arc that signals the beginning of the end.

I can see Usopp getting another sniper moment if Bluegrass actually does take control of the iron giant
