Have to say though, their bright idea to wait for everyone to bring out a video Den Den Mushi for 10 minutes was stupid. Not everyone had one in the first place, 10 minutes are more than enough to find ways to jam the signal and the whole presentation could have been twicked to work with audio alone.
Litterally, if Luffy had not been there the message would have not gone off. Vegapunk set up something 2 weeks ago that relied solely on something he wasn’t even aware of to even work.

James Bond taught me you always set times to 6mins.
Of course no one expected the Elders to be strong enough to cause that much damage but the fact that even one was coming was reason enough to assume they would be backed by major firepower.
It’s an Elder. The highest authority. I absolutely would assume they were strong. Old guys always are. And they’d be backed by a fleet to boot.

I am not debating whether it is a bad trope or not. It was a plan with pros and cons.

Pros: The ability to act natural for days.
Cons: The inability to adapt any plans you make unless everything goes your way.

If they insisted on a visual element, then 5 minutes are long enough time. 10 was overkill.
Memory Erasing like Time travel it ruins shit and needlessly complicated plots.

If Luffy were not there CP0 would have killed Vegapunk before Saturn arrived.

The message was on the Den Den Mushi. Not on Emet. It would still activate, Emet would be a sitting duck though. Which makes the plan worse as he would just be sitting there being attacked by others and breaking apart.

It would not be ureasonable to assume they were strong BUT THAT STRONG? No one guessed it. Around Admiral level it was assumed, but not above Emperor level.

Definitely but that does not mean anything. Any trope can be used badly whether on purpose or by accident. Vegapunk might be smart but he is not necessarily wise. Or at least not that much.

I was saying we’d have still be in the pre message recording most likely without the SHs involvement.

I’m not saying that. Just that I’d expect them to be able to take Egghead Island solo.

However, standard trappings of the genre, I was expecting them to be above Yonko. Especially considering Luffy had become a God by the time they did anything.

Was rereading the chapters with Garp and Coby to see how far we are from Galaxy Divide in the Anime...

Does anyone remember Armement Haki having lightning effects before? I only ask because I can only ever remember Lightning effect cropping up with Supreme King.
 
I think it got electrical after the timeskip, I swear it was a thing during Whole Cake, or even in Dressrosa. Will have to keep an eye out for that during my re-read.
 
I was thinking that the anime will soon reach the point where they'll need to give Imu a voice before the manga has revealed anything about him.

Will it be a man or a woman's voice? Old or young? Deep or squeaky?

Just revealing the voice should end at least some of the theories about Imu.

He's a dude. He never got to sex Lily so now he wants her descendent, Vivi. He's basically the One Piece version of Chris chan, always stuck in his room and telling erryone under his command to go kill those dang dirty trolls. Because he's a virgin with rage.

We assumed that the escalation would hit with Imu.

I think this is to show that Coby has Supreme King Haki. He is Garp 's successor after all but propably he has not yet mastered it. He might be at the level Luffy was after the time skip where the Supreme King Haki leaked.

I’ve always voiced Imu in my head as having the voice of Claw from the Inspector Gadget cartoon . Or Noob Saibot from Mortal Kombat 11. They sound pretty similar.
 
The new voice of Sabo is Miyu Irino. I originally thought they'd go with Kaito Ishikawa, but I'm happy to have Miyu-kun in a non-filler role (he previously voiced a character in a filler arc that I skipped).

Also, Tsuru has a new voice actress. Her name is Wasabi Mizuta. She previously played Amande.
 
The word balloons make me thinks its either weak and raspy, or otherworldly.
That’s the idea. Imu is always shown in the shadows, and I remember earlier ITT having it where Imu’s dialogue is just the kanji on a blank screen until it’s time for Imu to be properly revealed.

Or you can just have somebody speak for Imu if you don’t wanna reveal too much too early.

Nah, he's Chris-chan who won. Julie is dead...but who said he couldn't possess her body?

I’m willing to bet Imu is going to be in the shadows for so long, that when Imu is actually revealed, there’s going to be a lot of disappointment. Freaking hype machine, man.
I want Imu to be a weak ass coward who gets one shot.

We have Blackbeard as the powerful Dark Mirror to Luffy, all the world goverments evil should be because of a coward
