i finished fishman island!!
although i wasn't hooked from the beginning, this arc really grew on me! i really loved seeing the straw hats together again after their 2 year break. considering how emotional i was from everything that happened in marineford, it took a while to adjust to the new change of pace in the series! but seeing how strong & confident the members were made me feel so proud!!
each member of the grew worked hard to become stronger individuals for themselves AND for their captain/crew. some members trained to become physically stronger, some took the time to educate themselves, and some did both! zoro, nami, luffy, & robin are my personal favorite straw hats, so seeing them as better versions of themselves made me really happy!!! i love how hard everyone worked, and you could see it all pay off in this arc!
once i read/watched more of this arc, i started to really enjoy the plot! It was a very different side of one piece that we hadn't seen yet, other than in the sabaody archipelago arc. it expanded on the prejudice & discrimination that fishmen faced throughout history. how the hatred finds its way to the children, which creates more hatred. i really loved the narrator's monologue during the scene where jimbei gives his blood to luffy. it perfectly summarized the painful history between humans & fishmen. with jimbei's selfless act, it begins a new path for fishman island.
personally, this arc isn't in my top 5, but i really did enjoy it! i found it to be fun and the plot very interesting. i also really liked that we found out what the ancient weapon actually was in this arc after hearing about it for so long.
overall, i really loved how this arc showed us how much the straw hats grew during the timeskip. everyone did their best to become stronger so they could be prepared for the journey to the new world. i find it beautiful how devoted they are to each other and to their captain. i'm looking forward to what's next!
i love this art of the dragons together so much. kusanagi is so talented. they all look so soft and beautiful and so comfortable with each other. i miss them so much and getting art of them together makes me so happy! i hope we get to see all of them again in the manga <3
i miss greed island arc so much. it was so much fun watching it the first time. there was so many sweet moments between killua & gon. it just felt like a great adventure!! with bisky being there helping the boys get stronger, they learned so much about their techniques. it’s not as “drama” filled or intense as the other arcs, but i loved watched killugon get closer and learn! just a very comforting arc overall!
this scene is so heartbreaking. after everything killua & gon have gone through, the ups and downs, they both knew it was time to go their separate ways. even when they say goodbye with a big smile, it doesn’t last long. they care for each other so much yet they have to go on their own journey. it makes me so sad. i wish killugon could stay together :(
something about fall changing to winter that reminds me SO much of kagehina. fall being the season of change, winter symbolizing the potential growth. when i think of kagehina i think of finding your person that will make you better and those seasons just represent that idea to me!
The push and pull of “relationships can be very affectionate and still be platonic” and “those are the gayest motherfuckers I’ve ever seen”.
bokuaka makes me so happy and this panel in particular just sums up their bond so well. bokuto beaming complimenting akaashi and akaashi feeling happy and thankful. they really are the “love at first sight” trope if you think about it. bokuto being akaashi’s star while bokuto sees akaashi as the world. since the moment they met, they were always bound to be together on and off the court. they just make me so happy!!
ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEEE??? this new haikyuu illustration made my day. SHOYO SMILING AT TOBIO….TOBIO AND KENMA TALKING…KUROO!!! the bond the first years have with nekoma makes me so happy. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH 😭😭😭🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
