Kishimoto teaching Oda an important life lesson: why get married and have your wife nag about you not taking any breaks when you can play D3 and enjoy your youth?

So who do you all think that mysterious guy talking to Law is? I have three possible choices.

-Joker: Should know Law, and we've heard about him sometimes in this arc
-Aokiji: Look very much like his shoes and white clothes. Also is half the reason to as why the island is like it is.
-Vegapunk: Connected to the work here, and the person kinda resembles how he looked when Kuma thought of him. I think I'm leaning towards it being him.

Cool beans Toriko and Medaka Box early chapters.

And good ones at that.

Now if MS could just get Reborn up...

Uh-oh Reborn alerts going off.

Complex and interesting dilemma can be potentially resolved in a simple-minded uninteresting way.

Medaka Box had been really good lately, and today was no exception. Medaka vs. Unzen was a great fight imo. Too bad it's ending next time, I'd like more of this.

I'm guessing it's Vegapunk. Makes the most sense.

I wouldn't be entirely surprised if it's Aokiji. Don't think it has any chance to be Joker though.

Why does no one think it has a chance to be Doflamingo?

It could be, I'd say the order of most likely is Vegapunk > Aokiji > Doflamingo > Joker.

Vega because there has been lotsa foreshadowing of him this arc, they are both "Docters".

Aokiji is related to the island, and has matching shoes.

Doflamingo has a connection to Law, but him being there doesn't make much sense, because Law isn't even suppose to be there(both shicibauki(or however the hell you spell it)) according to Smoker(iirc).

Joker, even though was mentioned, doesn't make much sense for him to be 'shadowed' because that just really isn't Oda's style for introducing new major characters. Plus him being there also doesn't make much sense. Unless he was scheming with the badguys.

--

Everything about those lines and shadowy appearance screams villain, so it can't be Aokiji.

The person is clearly using a technique on law, which also doesn't fit with Aokiji.
It does fit with Doflamingo, with his ability to control people.

I doubt it's Vegapunk either. Despite his frequent mentions, I think he's actually too foreshadowed to be just appear himself.

more importantly that guy is too thin to be Aokiji

Actually I think Vegapunk is hinted to be a good guy too actually.

Not FABULOUS enough to be Doflamingo.

Oh and uhh Bleach was cool too, just kind of like it was with last weeks chapter, stuff happened, but nothing happened kind of feel to it.

I miss Claymore. :(

--

Wait a minute a new Claymore is out. Why did no one tell me!?!

I have a feeling Claymore is done :(

WHAT?

--

Ohhh Sweet Claymore, glad you are not dead!

That was excellent!

Very surprised Deneve showed that to Raki. I'm betting it's the face of a monster/dragon part grafted onto their abdomen.

It doesn't look anything like Doflamingo though.

Ul?
Meldy?

The chapter with Cana the other week was better. Because Cana is hotter. Course I have not seen past the frontpage.

Fairy Tail's cover this week was awesome. Chapter was great too. Ul and Meldy are how the anime subs their names. It would be awesome to see Wendy lose next week. I wish Elfman could take her place again.

I still say it's a darn shame that Wendy wasn't at the guild for those seven years. She could've aged.

That's not true Shine. FT is just due for a loss now that they've had a couple victories in a row. I'd rather see Wendy lose than watch Gray lose again or see Juvia and Gajeel lose.

FT has been a joke for a while now.

If it wasn't for Beelzebub, Fairy Tail would be my favorite ongoing shounen series right now.

http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9

For me right now:

Toriko
Naruto
One Piece
Bleach
TWGOK
Kimi no iru machi
Good Ending
FT

is how I rank them

--

For stuff I am actually caught up on and is weekly. I like them all so rankings don't even really matter. TWGOK keeps trolling with constant breaks.

Beelzebub
Fairy Tail
Sket Dance
Bleach
Toriko
TWGOK

--
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9

One Piece
Ippo
Fairy Tail
Bleach
Naruto
HSDK

still waiting for Toriko to have a large filler arc before I catch up with the manga

Woops forgot Reborn. I'd put it below TWGOK. I can't even imagine starting Ippo at this point since it's almost 1,000 chapters.

--

I did it in 2 weeks back in December 2010.

that was a lot of Ippo

Water 7/Enies Lobby reread.

Short writeup this time around, but rest assured, LOVED re-reading my favorite arc. It's SUPER! First, CP 9 rankings.

Kaku (I like Giraffes!) > Rob Lucci (Dark Justice) > Califa (How rude!)> Kumadori (YOYOI! Oh my dear departed mother...)> Fukuro (Chapapa!) > Spandam (Character I just love to hate) > Jyabura (Liar) > Blueno (No real lasting impression)> Nero (poor n00b)

Going Merry's death. Saddest Death? Nah, but sad nonetheless. Also, I don't get people who say Merry's just a boat. Merry's a SENTIENT being.

Awesome moments for everybody. Luffy being Luffy. Zoro totally the XO of the crew. Nami hugging the tree instead of the money and leaving Luffy and Coby to catch up is D'aaaawwww worthy. Usopp/Sogeking was hilarious and freakin' awesome, aww yeah burning the WG flag and sniping people on the bridge. Sanji getting massive smart points again. Chopper IS A MONSTER!. Oh god Robin's backstory, dammit Buster Call! Franky is SUPER!

From the betrayal to storming through Aqua Laguna to the Enies Lobby siege to return to Water 7, it's a great read from start to finish.

Aww, I lost to SuperNiceDog, Winner of the Rivalry Rumble Guru Contest

It really is the best. My favorite arc ever.

Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner

Fighting starts on next week's One Piece.

This week was more Hody gloating and revealing the truth about Otohime's death and Madam Sharley telling him her vision of Luffy.

No with Fairy Tail you at least have to play the main theme song over the whole thing to make it just as good.
