| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pudding can't be honest to her feelings, she's a funny tsundere now, I'm falling in love. |
 |
| Sanji and Pudding would be quite a hilarious couple. I am totally for her joining the Straw Hats when this is all done! |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Ahh, Pudding might be the best bipolar character I’ve seen in anime, lol. |
  |
| They still need to make that stupid cake lol what the fuck just escape. Big Mom can't possibly chase them in the water. They're really trying to make this as longer as possible like how many episodes/weeks have the Strawhats been running away from Big Mom cause in that woods alone is at least 3. |
 |
| WELL PUDDING FOR SURE AS WELL FUNNY…THAT WAS EXTREME TSUNDERE…MAYBE A CROSSOVER BETWEEN YANDERE AND TSUNDERE. a |
 |
| Ugh can they stop with Nami's breasts, beyond ridiculous. God I loved Pudding this episode. |
 |
| I guess there were three major points of interest this episode. The first was the mission to reclaim the Sunny! Brook and Chopper are already an adorable duo so seeing their synergy is nice, and Brook continues to be the coolest skeleton around so that's also quite nice. In fact, while watching the scene it hit me that Brook basically has circumstantial conqueror's haki. His soul manipulating abilities allow for him to zap the consciousness out of the lesser minions, exactly what conquerors can do too! It's a nice way to give him a temporary buff, to me it didn't feel cheap, and it gives him a stronger basis for being one of the cornerstones of this arc! That said, with the fearlessness of Brook and Chopper in fighting for the ship; showing their gratitude for their friends with action also echoed by Chiffon, this does feel more like they are buying time and defeating the lesser opponents, I would love to see them to a number on Perospero and Katakuri, but we all know Luffy will be the one to finally handle the jelly bean man at the very least. As for Chiffon’s decision to help Pudding... All the way back when the meeting with Bege began and Nami befriended Chiffon, I realized a seed of loyalty had been sown. That of Chiffon being indebted to Nami, something that I assumed would drive a fork between Bege, who didn’t have any such obligation, and Chiffon. This difference in loyalty within the Bege family has finally grown into a flower and the way that it is influencing the story is by, assumedly, forcing the Fire Tank pirates into a position of helping the Straw Hats once again. They love their mama, you saw how everybody refused to leave her behind, and if they want to help her, they in turn have to help the Straw Hats. It's a simple but effective method to set up character motivation later down the line. Other aspects of the scene I wanted to mention: Seeing Vito as the stand-in mother was just totally adorable and another reason for me to love this bloodthirsty and geeky criminal. Seeing Pez smile at his mom as she was suggesting she could die on this mission was really bittersweet, and the whole decision of Chiffon deciding to risk her life reminded me of Lola’s willingness to burn with her saviors, and it let me know why Bege may have fallen in love with this woman. The third is the most pressing point of interest, Pudding’s transformation. She's not the first tsundere to grace us with their presence, Galdino and Perona are both high in my ranks as some of my favourite characters in the franchise. However, the way she has gotten to this point, and the extremity of her behavior are certainly nothing to scoff at!!! I worry that she may have become a less interesting character with this development; something like being primarily relegated to humor, but regardless, her screen presence is at an all-time high! Going from girly and lovestruck to psychotic and sadistic with seemingly no control as we saw her own behaviour go against her thoughts, seeing her cry from her third eye and freak out, and above all else, do the tsundere schtick as on the nose of possible with phrases like “S-so it’s not like I came all the way to stop her because i didn’t want you to die, Sanji…” Sanji has broken her, Pudding has become an impulsive ball of uncontrollable emotions, in like I'm saying, perhaps it will not be as interesting as her previous role as a slow burn conflicted character, but it is certainly incredibly funny and enjoyable. With that Sanji joined up with the cake making squad and got out of there!! I am curious how Big Mom would follow them through the water though, she could take Zeus, but if they distracted him then I would assume water would still lead to her drowning, so I admit that I found that kind of odd. With Kaido not knowing how to kill himself and an easy solution being some devil fruits; which he should have plenty of, and/or water, maybe emperors break the rules, cholololol. |

| Hahaha I love Puddings bipolar character. It's so funny seeing typical Sanji reactions on her, while he stays calm and cool. It's also nice to see that she is not the evil Monster people said she is. I mean with a mother such as Linlin it is a miracle to NOT turn out crazy. |
| Soul king has been rocking out at this arc! Katakuri is the type of guy that never jumps in conclusion about everything, he always expects the unexpected, unlike the soldiers and families that keep on jumping in conclusion that "straw hats died". It really shows that he is not naive, really experienced, and smart while showing his formidable appearance. |
| August 6th 2023: Biggest upset ever, deception, selfishness, or scammed, manipulated. Heavy damage costs, and more. Days since: 15 Last updated: 8/21/2023 One Piece Episode 1041 & 1042 & 1047 & 1048 & 95.75%/1049 & 1053 were a mistake and Uta brought the salvation -AhriTheS3xyFox |
| Pudding is seriously in love with Sanji but she can't admit it. LOL |
 |
| Pudding looked so cute when she said Sanji-san and blushed :D |
| I really need to see Brook fight more often! It's already pretty cool that he can instantly defeat enemies with one slash but I like his longer fights a lot better~ Pudding's turned into a rather creepy tsundere but I'm surprisingly all for it. Even with her making absolutely grotesque faces, I find her to be absolutely adorable in the strangest way possible. Sanji's heart must've stopped for a second when he narrowly dodged the Ikoku Sovereignty lmao |
 |
| Those Nami jiggle physics...goodness. XD |
LucTheSlug said: dub watcher as well?Sanji gonna bake cake, very good ^_^ |
| I'm worried about Chopper and Brook because Katakuri is on the ship. WTF Pudding is a Tsundere now, not only that but her personality is like a rollercoaster LMAO She actually falling in love with Sanji. |
