Thank you man, I couldn't check it myself

I didn’t see the @ and thought it was on break lmao

damn, i forgot how kinda sad that scene with emet and joyboy was

Am I misreading Oda’s statement or is he saying that laugh tale is the next arc

that or lodestar

shanks at laughtale, so we finally get the long awaited meeting of those two men, shanks and buggy

I’d say yes but he’s notoriously bad with timescales so there may be an island in between.

With him framing it as a question it seemed more like he was narrating the "final goal" vs making a definite statement about the timeline

where is urouge, huh oda?

Hmmm
Will it be a canon film then?
Or maybe parts of the flashback as a film (since DS/JJK/CSM did big films) maybe the studio wants to make back money they lose by no longer doing true filler arcs

I guess now we gotta think about all the characters that it would make sense for to meet, but also be realistic and think about how it ties into the pre established final saga characters, still not seen enough to justify both Garling & Shamrock getting a spot each, although the hidden and then revealed revelation of Shanks having a twin was something at least

Robin & Saul reunion being animated RIP to Cole Brown, who was the OG Saul & Blackbeard Dub VA (the new VA does kinda suit timeskip/Emperor BB tho, he feels more conniving than the older wiser seasoned voice)
Luffy & Dragon probably gonna meet, Dragon's powers finally being used on screen/panel again after 20+ years
Maybe.... just maybe Nami & Imu meeting/theory
Blackbeard meeting Imu (a.k.a Rocks coming back to meet Imu as he promised in the garden)

Luffy and Shanks will meet again, I think Luffy becoming an Emperor was the final step for Shanks allowing them to meet again (& the fruit awakening maybe? Can't remember if Shanks knew Luffy awakened before the RHPs left the edge of Wano.)
Usopp & Yasopp
Maybe another slight timeskip? with hometown reunions?

Law & Kidd joining the Grand Fleet as shipless MFers?

Akainu & Luffy meeting again at some point?
We probably will get a little Akainu redemption at some point unfortunately and he'll end up being more rebellious against the WG than Sengoku ever was, the mention of him valuing civilian lives over ending the One Piece hunt suggests that he might actually betray the WG after realising his Absolute Justice has been serving Demons who do not value civilians at all. He will realise he drank the kool aid and that he killed the people of Ohara wrongfully. Still deserves to get popped by Sabo & admit his wrongdoings in his last words tho

He left it open ended but it could easily be interpreted as Lodestar too, no one else is confirmed as having even been to Lodestar tbf

Lodestar could still even be a Sky Island perhaps where Urouge enters the story (& Eneru re-enters), given what we saw in Skypeia, Sky Islands have little knowledge about the world of the 'Blue Sea/Endless Vearth'.

Urouge is older than all other Worst Gen even BB. & Bege (BB. old because he was waiting, Bege old because he became a pirate after being bored of dominating as a on-land mafia boss) but he arrived in the Sabaody at the same time as all these youngins. Perhaps suggesting that he only left his sky Island/went down to the Blue Sea in recent times.

(Urouge is the only Worst Gen who hasn't met Luffy)

🐿️🐿️

Almost 2 years later all these episodes saved up for me. Gonna start egghead arc soon

Lol When is.the chapter coming out?

Next week

And after that how long until the next

Theres usually a WSJ break based on past years schedules
