"Unsatisfied with this..." "Hating that moment..." "That's all?" "...Disappointed..."
My feeling is exactly the opposite of all these for this week's chapter. 5/5. In fact, this chapter makes me wanna cry of joy and proud. I don't know if i can explain the reason well but i'll try...:---
First, Hajrudin's feat. Big feat. The build-up frustration, the huge goal of becoming the King of Giants, one final punch that worth a life force of himself which is well-rewarded aftermath, and the honor of repaying debt to his saviour. Hajrudin, you're now one of my fav Colosseum fighters. I'll see you in Elbaf or in the time of final war. Waiting for it. Sleep tight.
Second, comedies. Oh how i miss that in One Piece. Lol Baby 5, what a positive way of thinking, though it's a big fat misunderstanding. Pica's laugh is Pikyapikyapikyarara...? hahaha luckily he didn't say "Pikapikapika chuuu". I can't wait for his seiyuu to laugh like that. And is it just me or Dellinger looks much closer and closer to shota type of boy every time i see him. He's like Alois Trancy from Kuroshitsuji anime. Anyhow, i like the moment that he's complaining about Pica in the middle of the fights. And... wow Bowling themed attack by our Orlumbus heehe it's funny. He has DF then? Since the subordinates automatically respond to his voice/order :hmm
Third, Zoro's dialogues. They attract me. Here's a few examples:-
"It's great that you're huge, can't wait to chop you up."
"The bigger, the better. I can't wait to dig my blades into you."
Gotta love the second translation to boot.
"Sleep well. Cuz when you wake up, this cage won't be here anymore!"
"Sleep dreams, Giants. When you're done counting sheep, this cage will be gone!"
These translated sentences do make Zoro pretty badass, but for me, not as badass as in some fighting feats nevertheless. He's way too awesome, for his loyalty to Luffy is still shining well there. Why? Because you don't think that Zoro actually believes he can cut the birdcage himself, right? That sentences above can have multiple meanings:
- Zoro knows Luffy is fighting Doflamingo, and he sure as hell believes Luffy can defeat the ex-CD, hence he confidently says the birdcage will be gone, implying that Doffy will be defeated.
- Zoro has a complete trust on Luffy's capability to beat Doffy successfully.
Unless Oda draws that Zoro can actually cut that birdcage with his slash in the next chapters, which i personally doubt it, this is the best inference i could analyse. Don't hate Zoro...
Ahh.. i forgot about the cover story. So... does that reminds you about Thriller Bark arc?
