I do think Syrup Village was done poorly. It's not a great arc in the manga/anime, but choosing Sham & Buchi over Jango is an odd choice, Usopp's bravery is completely underwhelming and while Luffy is a nicer guy in the live-action...Usopp just doesn't really deserve it here. Zoro's backstory was kinda shuffled in without really fitting or having been done well (it really should've included the line of him vowing that he will become the greatest swordsman in the world so his name will reach the heavens as THAT is an oath you can get behind giving away your family heirloom.) Not even a hint of the three kids is kind of a shame too.

Zoro just straight up asking for sword was pretty awkward. He just looks super entitled. It meant a lot more to me when he emotionally stated his oath and the master chose to give him the sword to carry on his daughters memory. It felt more like an "eh i guess here you go" in the live action. It's odd to make little errors like this because they should be so easy to catch and fix.

I think Zoro is the character they've messed up the most so far is Zoro though. They've made him too much like post-timeskip Zoro; he's supposed to be a little bit looser, a little bit more arrogant. When you add in the flashback, it really feels like they don't know how to write him outside of action scenes (which Usopp also suffers from in his episodes).

They've changed his personality a lot, but overall it works really well. Zoro isn't deadpan or sarcastic normally, but this guy won me over. In general, it's a diversion from the source material, and might not really have been necessary. But the choices he makes like standing up for the little girl in the restaurant are somehow both in line with his new personality *and* inline with his normal personality, so it all works for me.

Regarding Syrup Village, I much preferred the live-action to the manga; though, it's the weakest of the arcs by far. I found a lot of the tension in the manga to be confusing and muddling at best. Jango being cut isn't too bad because everything he adds to the manga has been cut. I really like the setting of the fight being Kaya's mansion as opposed to a random beach and forest. I also really like Kaya and Usopp's relationship being developed more. Meri dying makes more sense than him not dying. My only big issue is that Kuro's claws are really weak in the fights, but I'm really not interested in fights anyways.

Yeah, honestly the Syrup Village plot is kinda all over the place and needed a LOT of trimming down. I've never been a fan of the set up running all over the island and of the final showdown by the beach or whatever where they fight Kuro and his crew, it just seems like a mess and that Luffy should be more affected by getting cut up so much. The biggest thing I miss is the "he goes so fast he cuts up his own crew and doesnt even care" bit, but the Freddy Krueger mansion stalking was a wayyyyyyyyyyy better use of Kuro.

Jango is great, but it would be tough to include him without making him the star of episodes. Not really enough room to share the stage with Kuro, and would require a lot more screentime to split the pirates into a mansion group and an outside group, so they just kept the henchmen as helpers in the mansion.

I do wish Usopp had gotten a *bit* more of an opportunity to do something - stand up for himself or Kaya, and to actually do something useful fighting wise. His one little sling shot wasn't much. I almost don't even remember that it happened.

I'm not super invested in the Usopp/Kaya relationship, as Kaya is not a prominent part of the story (while Usopp is) and considering Merry died, it's weird for Usopp to essentially abandon Kaya (in the way Yasopp did his family, although Kaya is at least older than Usopp was).

I also personally love the beach, as it shows a little bit of (failed) tactics, while this show turned it into only combat. That allows Usopp to stand up and vow to protect Syrup Village, which gives him the respect of Luffy, Zoro, and Nami. That's what I'm really missing here.

Speaking of Usopp, I feel like they cut the Chu fight down a little more than he deserved, but the biggest thing I wish they'd kept was him *actually playing dead* and intending to try and slip away as Chu goes back to to the main fight. Grappling with his own cowardly nature is one of the best things about Usopp, so it sucks they didn't show that he actually was going to do it, and then changed his mind after being successful.

They didn't set him up enough as a coward to do that though, sadly

I rewatched the series and 3/4 are definitely the weakest two episodes

Usopp's actor is comfortably the worst of the five and he's having to do a lot of the lifting, and I kind of didn't buy the Kuro fights because it...just felt like he could kill them at any moment? Like Zoro getting KOd and not being stabbed to death, his failure to kill Nami or Kaya, and the fact that he charges at Usopp and just like, bats him away rather than killing him had me scratching my head. He didn't seem the kind of character to only kill when necessary, so just like...kill them, then. And definitely check that the famous bounty hunting swordsman is dead, ffs.

Also the show had a weird habit of cutting to Luffy's grinning mug for like a second before he dodged an attack, and it always took me out of it a bit, and it was worse in the Kuro fight than any other time. The fights with Arlong were better for that.

That and the Zoro flashbacks were the weakest of the flashbacks.

Those episodes still had a lot I liked though. Zoro vs the two pirates went a surprisingly long time but it was really good. Mackenyu is probably the best of the cast because he's just so... credible in the action scenes. Like he is so fucking good at this stuff, and that physicality is useful to help buy into a character like that. And his deadpan/comic timing is also great.

Saturn arrived in a magic circle?! I wasn't expecting him to be so flashy. And now Luffy is at his limit after fighting Kizaru and Zoro still hasn't finished dealing with Lucci so... this is bad.

As bad as this situation looks, the iron giant and Kuma are still factors that can turn things around. So are the Blackbeard Pirates, but they'll probably just cause more problems. Robin has been suspiciously absent from recent chapters, I wonder what she's up to.

I think the only BB pirates there are Lafitte and Devon right? Which likely just means someone is an imposter and people might be hypnotized. I wouldn't count on them to save the day. They might try and replace or control Saturn though which could inadvertently help.

If anything I'd say this chapter is as close to a hard deconfirm of Bonney being an imposter as we can get without seeing Devon elsewhere. Granted I don't think I've really seen people pushing that theory as much lately, and sure it could still be other people, but idk who. Hopefully Robin isn't being replaced right now while we aren't seeing her

Oh right lol.

So basically we have seen most Blackbeard Pirates lately except Lafitte and Devon, and a while ago we saw a BB ship arriving at Egghead. The current theory is that the aforementioned duo was on that ship, and with Devon's fruit she could potentially disguise herself as anyone.

A few chapters ago people were suspicious of Bonney since Luffy pointed out that she had a sudden mood shift overnight, but it looks like I was right that it was because of what she saw in Kuma's memories and not because she was replaced.
