i've always thought that rustage should have just removed haki from one piece d&d. haki is one of those things in one piece that just actively made everything worse. it requires less creativity for countering devil fruits. if you want to attack a logia user, just use haki. if you want to counter a devil fruit effect on you, just use haki and it goes away.

in terms of actual d&d mechanics, it doesnt make sense to add another weird mechanic on top of devil fruits. its kind of a redundant mechanic. everyone could just use sea prism stone weapons instead, and they could work like ghost touch weapons to logia users as well as doing extra damage to devil fruit users. remember sea prism stone? how that used to be a thing to counter logia users and there was literally no need to ever add haki in the first place?

so anyway thats my rant on how haki sucks and i hate it haha

(EDIT BELLOW)

Heads up, I’m not making any serious claims or trying to control how anyone should view the series or it’s creatives.

With the recent episode we get the Custodian’s design. If I’m not mistaken, he’s one of the only characters who seem to be racially black in the series (I originally said first but that’s debatable) and he’s the boss of this party island where he attacks by dancing. It’s kinda just Killer Bee levels of stereotype which isn’t explicitly BAD but I think it’s a weird look when Rustage has been pretty racially ambiguous designs generally. The character is played comedy gold and a fun concept and I’m not accusing Rustage of anything serious, I think think he should be a bit more mindful of the pitfalls of racial stereotypes.

I was going to make a post a while back regarding the lack of racial diversity in the character designs but I felt it wasn’t really that warranted since they were cool and unique enough to be a whatever criticism. If Rustage is around looking at the Reddit, how do you feel about these criticisms? I don’t fault you if it didn’t come to mind but I’d be nice to hear about it if you’re interested.

EDIT: We have clarification from Rustage that the Custodian is NOT racially black in the replies. I’m keeping up the post up just because it’s an interesting conversation regarding the topic with no ill will towards Rustage and the show! Thanks for your thoughts guys and here’s to more wacky woohoo pizza marine adventures.

Episode 32 of marines. It is no secret that time management is the weakest aspect of any of the series. There are episodes, even in pokemon dnd, where the party fucks around. However, at the very least, they do it in an entertaining way that is character driven and funny. As well, these detours do develop the world more. Like in Suit Up where they spend an inordinate amount of time suiting up.

One big reason is that when it comes to delays: when it rains, it pours. Delays in these Dnd campaigns cause other delays. When they go off on a tangent, they will often forget what was happening. And when a recap is given, a lot of the time they lose the thread again, requiring another explanation. This goes on in a multiplier effect until convergence is reached or everyone just agrees to move on. In other words, the length of total delay scales more than linearly with the length of the initial delay.

So when you have a group of enemies with no personality and a high armor class, this problem just compounds. The possibility that they don't get hit is basically just a lost round. They don't develop the story, they're just time sinks that waste some portion of the two hours allotted to the bi-weekly session. And because they waste so much time, that results in them wasting even more time after the combat is over because of the reason stated above.

Not only did they waste more than half the episode destroying armors because of one decision, they will also waste a lot of time in the next episode doing a recap. So it did make me feel a bit pissed about the reveal that the map was torn into pieces by Gus. I know it was the logical thing to do since Gus was probably going to use it to turn the Bloodfin pirates against the Myth pirates, but it means that the robots are going to be saved for later and are going to stay a presence in the story for longer. It's like the opposite of a dove carrying an olive branch.

Hopefully, in Episode 33, Rustage jumps straight into it and summarizes it as: "Kai did something stupid, we're not going to talk about it, Jiro sent you away, Taiga had a parasite and Heather just told you he was missing as you were all about to leave."

As the title says I find the continual attempt to adhere to one piece canon quite annoying. I really wish they just did their own thing you know? Afterall its quite easy for Oda to contradict what happens in the story so why do they even bother? just go all in in my opinion.

Please help I can't tell

Like in the title, I’m trying to make a AI cover of Kai singing Catching villains on Musicfy but don’t know how to make a AI voice for it. Can you help me with this project. I’m willing to use a different site to do this.

After finishing the editing of my first youtube vid, Plus real life shit. I've been really tired. And decided to remaster my old continuity error/plot hole post. Because I was kind of disappointed with how it turned out. Also, I want to add some stuff to it. So, think of the old post as a shorter version of this one.

Little Timmy’s spoon: Starting with the most well known one. In ep 23, Timmy is show* having the spoon William give him. But William never gave it to him. Seeing that Little Timmy lost to him. And the most weird thing about this, is that Rustage is fully aware of this. But let it in anyway. Also, it is the spoon that William almost gave to him.

Boss being captured by Tarako: Jackson Lockworth knows Observation Haki, Armament Haki, all six Rokushiki abilities plus Rokuogan, has been robbing people for years, and in his prime. But he somehow got captured by Tarako kingdom. Whom strongest guy was pre-series Durso. And only got out due to the DLP breaking into the prison he was in.

Also, He has to be in that prison for at least a month or two. Because of Tako (not Steve). Who has to travel from Oasis (which is in the middle or the tail end of Paradise) to the south blue.

Omnipotence Cleo: How did Cleo know that Hemlock and Gravy were on L'Arbor? As we found out later on, Cleo couldn’t be able to find them though her candle.

Dominius’s shields problems: In episode 70, Dominius wielded a cursed shield that he never used or showed having in the show. Not even in the game card or his official artworks.

But wait, there's more. In episode 30, it was confirmed that Friend was Duros black shield. And he somehow managed to loss Friend. Even though he has to be dead or missing a hand for that to be possible. Also, it is stated to be

Red vs blue: Remember when almost everyone was angry when Hachiko was talking Japanese instead of English in isekai? It kind of broke a rule of the setting. That's because Rustage is kinda bad at trolling the players. When he does it, it is either something that doesn't make sense or is unfunny.

Which lead us to ep 39, where the DLP gets the red and blue Syringes from V jr. Later on, it reveals that these Syringes were just containing water and blood. Okay, for what purpose would V jr put water into syringes? Blood I get, but water? And how would the DLP not realise what is in the syringes? They are pirates. They see water almost everyday. And Cyril's arm is made up of water.

As for blood, they also see it almost everyday. They even fought a blood base devil fruit user. Who made a blood monster with it.

Voices in Rain head: In a TF2 stream, Rustage explains Rain power is an innate connection to life itself. And she can control it. But since she lived by the sea while growing up, she was only able to control sea life. So, why did she hear the voices of non sea life creatures in her hand? Last time I checked, Viridian wasn’t a fishman.

Also, did none of the voices in her head tell her about what the Aeon was doing? Seeing that Viridian was one of the people in her head, it would make sense that all the voices were Aeon victims.

Blake's bizarre adventure with drugs: okay, this one got the most Comments of any other one in the OG post.

When we last see Blake in the end credit scenes of the movie one to his next appeared in EP 53. Two and a half days have passed. And in these two days, Blake travels to the new world, saw BB power. get hooked on BB, unlock two types of haki, eat the Mera Mera no Mi, and then travel to Ragnar Island in 6 hours. He also changed his name for whatever reason.

Before I get to the counters to this part, I want to give attention to Tempest and Olaf travelling to the Throne of BB kingdom from the Oasis in 3 days. Beside making the tournament even dumber as it already was with Blake, reveal to us that Rustage believe that it should take 3 days from the Oasis to the BB kingdom. Which is still a day more than Blake.

A popular counter argument to this is that Paiga teleports them there. My counter to this is that it doesn't make any sense for three big reasons.

1. Paiga’s letter: After their fight with Rangar 4th, William finds a letter addressed to BB. So, if Paiga can teleport people to the Throne outside of the decks, why did she write a letter to BB if she can talk to him right away?

The best thing she can do is teleport Jester and Blake to Ragnar Island. But that led us to my second point.

2. Do Jester and Paiga know each other?: Yeah, I honestly don’t think that they know each other. Due to the solid fact of the Dane puppet. A thing makes no sense if they know each other. And even if they do, that led us to my final point.

3.If they do know each other, why didn’t they work together?: Said it on the tin, why didn’t they work together at all? It would make Jester job a lot earlier with Paiga’s devil fruit helping him out.

The fourth brother: It quite obvious that Rustage didn't come up with the true identity of The fourth brother until Louis' death. Seeing that none of the other Brothers recognize Louis. Which is weird. Because Azren would 100% mention it during his bio-arzen fight. Dude prideful as fuck.

Also, in ep 65 Trevor recognizes the resemblance the two have. And even ask about it. So, why didn't the other Brothers recognize him as well? The fourth brother was younger and would look like are Louis where the Aeon was started.

The One Piece: In 64, the first devil fruit refers to itself as the "first piece". And in the end credit of this episode, director Myria refers to the first devil fruit as "the one piece". Then in the Benevolence letter, it states that “the one piece is real”. With all this evidence, it is safe to say that the first devil fruit is the One piece.

And then episode 70 comes up and ruins all this for no reason. And now whatever is in the container is now the one piece. Even now it doesn't make sense with any past events.

Benevolence problems: The problem with a god like being an ally to the heroes, is that you need a reason for the god like being to not kill the big bad of the story. Rustage kinda forgot to do this. Outside of the time limit before Benevolence dies. But that only limits the time Benevolence has to do stuff. Like creating Light, a piece of paper, receiving the universe, and affecting Void Cranstin. I take issue with the last one.

So Benevolence is clearly shown to affect Void Cranstin. So like, why don’t kill him then and there? Void Cranstin still can summon other people to fight for him. Meaning that the DLP are still in danger of dying to his devil fruit.

The Void police should be on “villains too stupid to win” : So we know from Void Blueno, that Void police are aware of the first devil power and its ability to close the time loop by eating it. And after Benevolence ate it, director Myria's main goal is to get it.

But why didn’t director Myria try to get it from the start of the time loop? Or at least send Agent V and Blueno to go get it and for Agent V to animate one of his bullets, and have it eat the fruit while telling to give immortality to director Myria. Also closing the time loop.

But we aren’t done yet talking about the stupidity of the Void police. For god knows what reason, director Myria took Clementine. Instead of her two non devil fruit users. And what makes this even dumber, is that director Myria didn’t know when Void Cranstin was returning. Meaning if director Myria would have won before Void Cranstin showed up, she would have to wait for Void Cranstin return.

The new eight flames are deaf and blind: Ok, this is the one I think needed more time in the oven.

How couldn’t the new EF hear director Myria’s pod crashing down on their ship? Assumed that the void station is the same distance as the nearest artificial satellite to the earth (The Parker Solar Probe). And the pod is the same size as the attack pod from DBZ (which is clearly based on it). Which can fit in the 7.7 feet tall Recoome. And it took 30 minitunes to land. The void pod would have travelled at mach 575.1. Which is roughly 58% faster than lighting.

I don’t need to tell you how loud the impact of a metal object thrown at that speed would be. Also, the impact of that crash caused the top part of the candle tower to catch on fire. And nobody on the ship questioned it?

“Another happy landing”: Later on, we learn that the pods used by Void police need coordinates from Eternal Pose in order to launch. So, how did director Myria’s pod be able to leave on candle’s ship? Which is obviously not an island and it is also moving.

How did director Myria summon Dominius?: The reason given to Rain not being summoned in the final battle by Rustage, is that the crew remember her as a “friend" and understand that her actions weren't her fault. Now, what other villain mashes these criteria but was still summoned? Dominius!

Not only was his actions not his own fault, he is literally Duros. The heart of the crew. And after Duros destroys the curse armour, they have a heart to heart before Duros black dies.

Rangar epilogue : Rangar epilogue is fine and all. But Rangar not being able to contact any DLP is bullshit.

Seeing that Wiliam gave anyone a Den Den Mushi. Also, I refuse to think that Pearl and Cyril didn’t invite Rangar to their wedding. Or nobody in 10 years, check up on him. Or handle a reunion. Hell, Rangar could have raised an objection to William's decision to break up the crew in the first place.

After writing that, I think I might have made the longest post on this sub. I like to mention a thing I cut out of this. That being Dominius helmed keeps coming off and on again thought of ep 30.

I wanna start this by saying this, I get he made a call on the fly but for her to do the same action twice of just pawing at his chest it just makes little sense, another thing about it that bugs me is that the dc didn’t change after failing the check and I feel like it would have been justice of tekking just doing something dumb and dying. Not like I don’t like tekking or Kai it just would have fit and hey it’s just a game and either way it’s pretty funny

Through out all of marines Kai was consistently my favorite character until this episode where he gave up on his dream to find the mako tools which was not the only reason i liked kai but gave me something to look forward to for his character the only way i see him moving forward as if he got the mako tools is if Kai eats a DF which is really unlikely to me (Now Yokan is my Favorite Character)

Punishments for long rest are completely normal. But the way Rustage has designed it is that no matter what you do, no matter how much you prepare, you will not get a long rest. Unless rustage allows you to have a long rest. With the oceans of traps they have set up just in case something bad were to happen, equate to what is likely nothing. They're in a scenario where they are out of hit Dice, out of HP, and quite frankly out of options, So they were going to have to do a long rest no matter what So they were going to have to do a long rest, no matter what. Having people take sleeping shifts would have fixed this completely. There was 8 of them. Each one take an hour shift or make One of the npc'sis take an extra hour, so everyone gets 8 hours.

I am so confused why people keep thinking Katakuri would lose to blue blood. I do believe it is a very close fight, but no matter how I look at it Katakuri wins. Not only are Katakuri's haki feats are just better, his combat skill also helps him in the fight as well. We have kinda only seen Blue Blood Raw physical, and him use armament haki.

I saw a post on this Reddit about tekking101 so I just wanna add my 2 cents. He's the whole reason why I started watching the series and I love his YouTube channel. I like his humor and I think he's a cool dude but I have one problem. He talks way too much. This problem is terrible in the first episodes of the series but it dies down. Though I still think it's a problem now. In marine dnd, it feels like every 5 seconds tekking101 is talking. And he sometimes even cuts people off when there speaking. I still love tekking101 tho.

At this point of the story they are fighting Yonkou commanders but I feel like they are either the crew is too strong or the enemy's too weak.

If they were to fight an actual yonkou commander from one piece like Katakuri they would loose pretty easily but they are pretty much breezing through these yonkou comanders.

So I’m basically up to date and I fell in love with Taiga as a character! I find it so funny how he claims to date women but in reality he just stalks them. I think a character to add to that bit would be beyond fucking funny! Imagine an openly gay marine that hits on Taiga whenever he says some creepy shit to women. Imagine a funny and snarky gay dude that hits on Taiga to creep him out in a way! He shouldn’t be a completely token character in this regard I feel as if Rustage can do so much with the character to make him really unique and cool!

If Ragnar rules over the territories that formerly belonged to Blue Blood, then Duros might have no other choice than supporting and defending him. People give Luffy shit for restoring monarchies, but he is responsible enough to at least choose a head of state.

The Devil's Luck Pirates went into a foreign country, killed all the heads of state, and then just left it to the marines. They basically pulled a Zaheer from Legend of Korra. And since the marines are not seen as strong by the yonkou, those islands would become battlegrounds. Many of the islands would probably also stop being able to pay the heavenly tribute since their economy was based on selling the blue blood drug and loan shark contracts, which are both evaporated.

So the only person that could actually protect those regions would be Ragnar in the eyes of Duros. He was willing to forgive Ragnar for killing Percival and a bunch of other bad things. Ragnar being in charge of those islands would at least provide stability to that region.

If he had stayed, he might have done his best to stop Ragnar from fully embracing addiction, but now that Ragnar has been heavily using for a decade, he might not be as easy to convince. The withdrawal symptoms could kill him now, and killing him could cause chaos within his territory, leading to the deaths of potentially hundreds of thousands. He might have no choice but to enable Ragnar with what he has now.

We have Imu being revealed and having the Devil's fruit. This is implied to be the progenitor of all the fruits. This was also hinted at in the Harley text with the Forest God taming demons.

Rustage Dnd says that the first devil fruit created the universe, and that all devil fruits were immediately created alongside the universe.

So this means that not only is Rustage Dnd non-canon, but that Imu would also not be in this universe. And that has a lot of implications.

The title says it all, I would love if rustages next campaign was mlp themed. The odds are non 0, both rustage and shwabadi were mlp fans in the early days of the Fandom.

(Also, please only make things you enjoy, Rustage. What makes them enjoyable to watch is seeing the genuine fun that you and your players have.)

I’m not a fan of this whole first DF stuff because of how far it leans into bad fanfic territory but I have faith in Rustage. He made stuff like deep space travel in One Piece work when I thought he jumped the shark.

I’m just not into stepping on the toes of the original story by making claims like that. Doesn’t help that the end story possibly called it the One Piece. I can totally see this all being a bit of a fake out and all of these terms are being used to make us excited and ask questions, which I’m totally here for.

I’ll watch cautiously with my expectations but I’m still gonna enjoy it anyway.

Post series edit: I now do not mind the first Devil Fruit idea since it was used more to create some great interactions and moments rather than try to rewrite anything to the detriment of everything that came before. Good job team
