[GodlyCharmander]

CP0 Boss is dead, good to know.
And Luffy lost, straight up. Daaaamn, didn't expect that.
Morj fans are laughing, huh?

 

[Damage3245]

RIP CP0.

You did your job the best you could.

 

[SnookB]

-Kaido's victory has been declared.

Say sike right now

 

[Antvasima]

Hmm. It seems like everybody still in fighting condition need to make a last stand here.

 

[KingTempest]

I hope it's an onscreen kill

 

[SnookB]

I'm crossing my fingers it's another case of telepathy between Luffy and Momo, and Momo's just declaring the battle isn't over yet because Luffy said so.

Am I coping?
Perhaps

 

[GodlyCharmander]

"Raid will fail" people are eating well this week, damn. Of course, this doesn't confirm a thing, but we will have to stand their "I told you so" attitude for two whole weeks.

Although, the CP0 being actually dead doesn't seem concrete, some translations say he's stomped, some say defeated, and one with very poor English says it's dead verbatim.

Most of the times a winner is announced by the Manga itself, assuming that's what it is, it's literally the end of that fight in particular, so we might NOT see Kaido vs Luffy again. Is there a situation where one has fought again AFTER their defeat was announced?

 

[Eminiteable]

Is there a situation where one has fought again AFTER their defeat was announced?

Never.

 

[RoyGundam]

Is there a situation where one has fought again AFTER their defeat was announced?

So far none. Even when Luffy was knocked off Onigashima it wasn't declared as Kaido's victory

 

[RoyGundam]

I read the first line of the spoiler as "Oven arrives in Wano" and got excited for a moment

 

[Legion350]

Not only did Kaido win, but there’s another break. Truly the worst timeline of events right now for One Piece.

 

[GodlyCharmander]

Never.

So far none. Even when Luffy was knocked off Onigashima it wasn't declared as Kaido's victory

Oh well, it's official.
Luffy got a permanent L for the remaining of this arc.

ZKK is rising on Twitter (for some reason)

oda better be doing this to piss them off lol

 

[Antvasima]

Well, first Law and Kidd got lucky against Big Mom and then Luffy got unlucky against Kaido, so it evens out. However, he still did extremely well by singlehandedly matching the speed and raw power of a Yonko for such a long time. He simply wouldn't have been able to keep up with Kaido's sheer stamina in the long run.

Oda doing good Powerscaling narrative?!?

 

[Antvasima]

I think so. If Luffy manages to decisively beat Kaido on his own, it wouldn't make sense that he will have massive problems against Blackbeard and Akainu later on.

 

[RoyGundam]

Why? King has already been defeated

 

[GodlyCharmander]

I think so. If Luffy manages to decisively beat Kaido on his own, it wouldn't make sense that he will have massive problems against Blackbeard and Akainu later on.

I meeeean, one could still make the argument that Kaido was severely damaged by tens of people before Luffy even got the chance to 1v1 him.
Although that would come from the sentiment "I want Oda to make sense" rather than an honest argument.

 

[Shadyboi0]

Damn.

 

[AnimesFreak2]

 

[JooCipher]

kaido is like what? 5-0 against luffy?
that's a new record folks!

 

[GodlyCharmander]

kaido is like what? 5-0 against luffy?
that's a new record folks!

Kaido also holds the record for, "actually defeating the protagonist without getting revenge-killed!"

 

[KillerH]

A very good chapter before break indeed.

 

[Mr.Cinos15]

Seems like it's best to experience this chapter blind from what the leakers are saying. See y'all on friday!

 

[SnookB]

"- I recommend you not to read more of this chapter until there are no images, this chapter is way better like this."

That's all I need to hear to not look at anything related to the chapter until friday. The leakers are actively trying to keep information away for a good reason-

 

[RoyGundam]

Actually, Kid (and possibly Killer as well) has fought three Yonko i.e. Big Mom, Kaido and Shanks

 

[Eminiteable]

Luffy is joyboy/Nika

 

[StrawHatArslan]

well that isnt so surprising now is it hehe

 

[GodlyCharmander]

Luffy is joyboy/Nika

THAT PANEL GAVE ME CHILLS, AND THE CHAPTER AIN'T EVEN OUT

 

[GodlyCharmander]

well that isnt so surprising now is it hehe

Yeah, but Luffy just incarnating Joyboy in him like some sort of possession (although I doubt it is, it's more like his will) is surprising, and SO exciting!!

Luffy will get a Joyboy key if this version is any stronger than his Round 3 self. It also fits with the themes.

"Luffy lost, but Joyboy didn't"

 

[WrongIdea21]

Luffy Resin Theory lets goooo

 

[Jieldre]

WTF IS HAPPENING

 

[Antvasima]

Something unexpected, fun, and uplifting, presumably. I love this series for its message of fighting for freedom against tyranny (whereas so many other works encourage people to turn into control freak oppressors instead), and JoyBoy seems to be the living embodiment of that. "The drums of liberation" indeed.

 

[Ryuga21]

So Joyboy and Nika were the same person, and apparently, Luffy is him too. It's not a huge surprise, but it's intriguing and probably one of the most important events in the entire series. Now I wonder if Joy Boy should necessarily be a "D" (Because the letter is shaped like a smile) or necessarily someone who is predestined to always defeat oppressors, bringing liberation and joy to the population (Because Kaido thought that Luffy wasn't Joy Boy for his earlier defeat).

Surely the future chapters will be filled with new revelations.

 

[JooCipher]

Kaido, during chapter 1044:

 

[Darkvie123]

This is turning out like Naruto a bit. But i dont have an issue with the JOY BOY KEY

Also this Panel

 

[zouterz]

This is turning out like Naruto a bit. But i dont have an issue with the JOY BOY KEY

Also this Panel

i hope he aint posessed. That would be lame af

 

[WrongIdea21]

This is turning out like Naruto a bit. But i dont have an issue with the JOY BOY KEY

We still dont know how Awakanening of DF get possesed, I think hundreed times ass whooping made a trigger ( I hope Gomu2 Awakening is joyboy itself not Something like Reincarnation shit).
