I took on a project of counting every chapter of Wano (909-1057) in terms of panel time. That is, how many panels each character appears in. I found the process quite insightful and interesting to see how much time Oda dedicates to every character. Now, let’s lay down the rules!! When counting an appearance, besides […] More

At the end of Wano Arc Luffy, Law and Eustass Kid all received new bounties of 3,000,000,000 Berries each. The sum of their bounties exceeds the sum of the bounties of the two defeated Emperors Big Mom and Kaido. It makes sense since the World Government may have seen these fights as a ‘team battle’ […] More
According to an interview with Eiichiro Oda, he stated that if Akainu were to become the protagonist, he is so strong that he could end the One Piece series within a year.
