Thoughts on chapter 1175!
spoilers below
As almost all of the covers have been recently, this is soooo adorable!! koala also looks a little less exaggerated than Oda normally draws women which is great too!
Sanji looking like one of the girls lol
HE LOOKS AWESOME HOLY SHITTTTTT I CANT wait to see this animated
For some reason this panel looks kinda strange? It’s not how Oda normally lays out the composition, but to be fair idrk why I even noticed in the first place
oh he is PISSED
You never see much of G5 being creepy in the manga so this was cool! also his scar is glowing? I wonder if the anime will keep that in
idk why this so funny to me- just more wacky G5 reality-breaking bullshit. He really just used a scope to hit sommers with a fist 3 times the size of him
speaking of which-
Ffffffucking fINALLY
WHAT A GOOFY BOY
Only thing that strikes me as a little odd about this is that he is so happy about punching the shit out of Sommers. Tbf Sommers is horrible and I think anyone would be happy to punch him, but same goes for Doffy and Hody and Arlong and - you get the point. Luffy is a lot more serious during those fights because he knows that it isn’t the time for being goofy. And what are the only times when the enemy has been annoying and horrible, he beats them and then starts laughing? When he’s in G5. There are soooo many examples of really serious situations that luffy’s just laughed about that probably needs its own post tbh
Loki looking awesome again!!! These panels are so detailed, I can tell why Oda needed an extra week to draw this chapter
last thing I want to point out is that I’m really pleased in how Ripley has been drawn. Normally in manga and anime the girls aren’t allowed to actually look hurt even when they are, but Oda hasn’t drawn Ripely to be constantly perfect and pretty! She’s allowed to look just as hurt as the men, and really appreciate that tbh
ALSO GIRL R U OK
Oda can’t be leaving her looking like she’s gonna die nooooo
