Just going to post the good before I get into what ever that is...



Vivi, Robin, and Smoker look good. I continue to love the set design on this show. Just so fun.

That sounds awful. But just so I'm clear. The actress in that image is playing the incredibly light skinned character from the anime. Is there a reason you'd expect an actor of Arabian or Middle Eastern descent to play the character? Is the character described as such?

Alabasta is steeped in Middle Eastern and North African influences.

There are white Arabs and white Egyptian too.

This is literally her father

Okay, so I decided to look it up, and you're right. Egypt was an influence as well as Mali. But so was India according to the wiki:

Arabasta Kingdom

The subject of this article has also been referred to as Alabasta. The Arabasta Kingdom is a desert kingdom in Paradise. It was the fourth place that the Straw Hat Pirates visited on the Grand Line, and the events here resulted in Luffy's bounty being raised to 100,000,000, and Zoro acquiring a...

According to Eiichiro Oda, Arabasta was inspired by ancient Egypt.<a href="Arabasta Kingdom"><span>[</span>24<span>]</span></a> The Egyptian influence is evident in building and clothing designs, the hieroglyphs, the names of the royal family, the retainers, and food mentioned (knafeh, mulukhiyah). Atop its buildings (particularly in Alubarna) are dome structures all reminiscent of architecture for ancient churches and mosques in Egypt.

The official book Rurubu One Piece also draws several comparisons between Arabasta and India; in particular, numerous similarities are noted between Alubarna and Jodhpur. The Indian influence is most evident in the many "onion" domes atop its buildings (particularly in Alubarna), a staple of Indian—particularly Mughal—architecture such as the famed Taj Mahal.

Rurubu also connects Rain Dinners with Luxor Las Vegas (an Egyptian-inspired casino), as well as Yuba with the Great Mosque of Djenné in Mali.

The studio execs of Tomorrow Studios have donated directly to the IDF and wrote letters to the Nobel committee trying to discredit Bisan Owda and have her nomination withdrawn.

They didn't want to cast an Arabian or Middle Eastern woman as Vivi because it would be too reminiscent of Palestine. I hate how Hollywood has been erasing Middle Eastern culture for decades and replacing it with Indian actors. It's racist af

Apart from that there is no problem, lol

This makes no goddamn sense. Remember, Oda likely has a very strong voice on casting. You have issues with it, take it up with him. And no offense, to call this a conspiracy over decades moves this from a potential concern, to a conspiracy theory. One that has connetations that you don't want.

I guess they're saving a first look at Crocodile for later- though even Manganiello himself shared the teaser. Then again, between Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, Drum Island, and any potential filler stuff covered, it's a while before we get Crocodile's first appearance. I actually don't remember if we get a full first reveal of him prior to Alabasta (not counting the brief phone call he has with Sanji in Little Island, where I believe you don't fully see him.).

I imagine you are only going to get a teaser of him in s2. Production is moving into s3, so I imagine his casting was do to get him on board before s3 started shootin.

loved season 1 of this and it's probably one of the best things i've watched in the last 2 years.

season 2 looks even bigger and more epic now.

my friend keeps trying to get me to start on the anime...but i'm intimidated by the 1000+ episodes.

Actually, kind of wholesome from the reddit. So that's good.
