    I admit, Little Garden still surprisingly holds up well as one of my favorite One Piece arcs because despite the length it was fun.

    Especially Zoro in the humor department. From willing to cut off his own legs and fight, to actually cutting his legs, to making a pose in the case he does die becoming a wax statue, and all that...He still defeats one of the arc's villains while on fire.

    ...God that arc was fun.

    To be frank, I'm glad. The power curve rather exploded all at once to the point where I'm left wondering where we go from here, and who exactly is even useful heading toward the final confrontation of OFA and AFO.

    Before things wrap up though, I'm hoping Stain gets a moment to make his edgy return and Mirko gets to do something else.

    Or perhaps Horikoshi might give me something else, the superhero team up of Wash and Bubble Girl.

    So Izuku's gonna master the new form of One For All at record times (well, minus All Might who mastered it instantly)? Because otherwise how is he supposed to handle everything being set up against him...

    Unless he dies in the final battle (while taking down AFO), and becomes the "greatest hero" for his selfless sacrifice and laying down his life to end AFO once and for all.
    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

    I doubt it'll go that fast. It's the Final Act, not the final arc, and we all know that final acts are typically among the longest sagas in an manga. The biggest question is: Will Mineta stop being a perverted piece of **** and actually grow into a respectable human being/hero?

    Hahaha, no. Mineta is just a one-note joke, and that joke is "being a perverted piece of ****". Why he never shows up in the really serious arcs, and when he did show up in the USJ arc, he was just a cowardly perverted piece of **** who had to be forced to do anything and molested Tsuyu.

    The week after next week rather, they usuall release the previews for the fighters one week and then go into the battle the week after.

    As for this one. I'm glad they gave Ryuko proper respect and the sprite work was really well done. But the outcome was pretty predictable and I still don't really care for the match up in general, Ryuko isn't an edgelord. She's a very angry individual, but not an edgelord, especially not on par with Shadow's legendary edginess.

    Victor: So it is time yet again for Doom to grace the paltry halls of Death Battle. Hopefully the foolish hosts have arranged a more worthy foe so that Doom may truly show his proper might.

    *sees his opponent*

    Victor: Really? That's it? I might as well just send a Doom-bot to get the job done. A fool such as Luthor is beneath Doom's notice.

    Lex: We're in the same room Victor, I can hear you.

    Victor: Beneath Doom's notice.

    Yeah, Horikoshi has set up a lot of things he needs to go through before we jump into the final epilogue chapter. So the series will be here for a while me thinks.

    Bi-weekly. They release an episode one week, then the next week they do the previews for the episode released the week after that.

    I read a bit of that a couple of years ago. I liked the art and the concept was fun but I fell off it for one reason or another.

    I literally though about going back to it just the other day as it happens.
