No problem. Yeah, they explained it at the party after that fight with Hody. |
|
| Hard to believe all this mess was because of a silly bomb conveniently placed in that tamate box. |
 |
| wow that was something.. I did not expect a bomb inside it all… lol mama rolling down was funny |

| Because the first half was expected or more of the same without much sparking my interest, the gang progressing, showing strong feats but coming up against their counterparts or otherwise, and slowly being stopped, I think I'll begin this post with some more thought on Big Mom. There is a lot of room for emotional payoff with her for sure, but whether or not we get that, I wanted to give her behavior some more thought. I have already suggested what I think is most definitely the case, that by learning the lesson that she would be abandoned by her loved ones without warning she would learn to be overly controlling. To ensure that nobody left her family, to ensure that nobody left her tea parties, and to do so with force. Next, being exiled and treated as a demon for actions that were out of her control seen with the giants or probably the group she was initially from, or being treated as a monster by her peers even if only for periods of time, or feeling as though she couldn’t fit in due to her size could all lead to learning a similar lesson to Pudding. To become the monster people think she is! Of course, I don’t think she necessarily would have by herself, this is exacerbated by the insidious guardian who took her under his wing after Carmel’s death. In a sense, I think he steered her into embracing these ideas. To learn lessons like these and be encouraged to enjoy the cruel things she was once against, and to do so as the only logical way Lin Lin felt she could recreate her past and make Carmel proud(how could she create world peace if no one stays around or listens to her), it’s like, things begin to make more sense. She, as a little girl, was naive, she wants to be happy and loved, but she learned some harsh lessons; that of the only way that a family and a world like Carmel wanted could truly be upheld in her mind. Because she lives in trying to recreate the past, the happiness she once knew with this new and more cynical understanding of the world, she really freaking hates Lola and Chiffon because, Lola at least, directly ruined one of her chances at fixing the past and getting one step closer. This is all my interpretation which could be challenged or added to, but overall I do think Mom’s childish joy shows the feelings she’s trying to relive and the belief it's obtainable. I suppose to conclude, my reading of Big Mom is exactly that, she is still the little girl she once was, she wants to achieve that state of bliss and belonging she once had and make the one person who stuck with her the longest proud, she is constantly working towards this, yet she is doing so with the cynical and harsh lessons she learned in her life by product of circumstance and lacking the true compassion she needed. As for the interesting part of this episode, the payoff for a set up nearly 300 episodes ago if my guess is correct! In a moment of absolute despair, the Tamate Box went off and created an explosion which matched my wildest dreams. The entire plateau is collapsing! The chaos needed to coincidentally survive has occurred. And Bege is exploding with adrenaline, perhaps early celebration, but I can forgive him for that after being saved from such a bleak situation. He must feel salvation at its most powerful. I would also like to address the Vinsmokes briefly. It is interesting that Judge’s face continues to be kept in shadow. I feel seeing his uncovered face will both humanize him and be a pretty powerful moment however it ends up being done. As for the question of whether the siblings, outside of Reiju and Sanji, care about Judge, it's an interesting question, but I find the question of how much Judge actually feels for his children even more so. Outside of the conditional love he gives his strong children, and the quaintest sense of compassion he gave imprisoned Sanji, after facing death and shedding tears of regret, I don’t think he wants to feel more loss right now. |

| Jeez, it gets irritating seeing Nami and the group just stand inside of Bege and do nothing for a while , Nami could've at least fired some projectile clouds and did something. But that is some strong TnT... putting out that huge of an explosion, it's more like an Atom bomb explosion. Beges laugh at the end sounded disturbing to me |
| 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 |
| Who would've thought that the treasure box will save them? LOL. |
 |
| I remembered that there were explosives in tamate box so was hoping that they'd blast on BM's face . But her rolling down is funny as well |
| Well, the Minister of the Right really outdid himself. A small bomb would've sufficed in eliminating most would-be thieves of the Tamate Box but what he had his soldier stuff in there was enough to level half of the Whole Cake Chateau! It makes me wonder about how messy it would've been if someone with sticky fingers opened it inside Ryugu Palace to take a peek at the treasure lmao I was hoping that Big Mom would plummet into the ocean smh |
 |
| I lost it when Bege went hysterical. That was glorious. I was trying to figure out how the Tamate Box would factor in since my initial guess was it'd blow up in Big Mom's face at the wedding & piss her off. Not in a million years could I have imagined this outcome or what's to come. |
 |
| the Tamate box was so funny. Starting to understand some spoilers I saw now hahahaha Brulee now in close combat, will they re-use her? I still fear she will be used to chase them down to their ship with moshi boy |
  |
| this is Charisma of future Pirate King and will of D or what !!! |
| HAHAHAHA Tamate Box finally did the thing LMAO Whole Cake Chateau is crumbling!! It's crazy how Oda set this up all the way back on Fish-Man Island Arc. |
 |
| thank the lucky stars or the mishap by fishmen here |
| katakuri gets the sugita tomokazu effect of being just a little bit funny without even trying it’s really funny reading the replies here of people not remembering the tamate box being set up as a plot device back at the tail end of fishman island arc, but i guess those watching weekly had years between those episodes and these ones being an anime binge watcher has it’s benefits |
| The best thing about one piece is the smallest thing from arcs ago will come in and be very important. This time the bomb. Though I don’t know if vege should be to excited. Big mom and all the strong siblings will survive. I would say this would be there escape, but there still 30+ episodes left. |
