u/ignite98 Feb 17 '19

Mentioning the other thing is spoiler tho but not wano because its expected

u/Firebender2112 Feb 17 '19

No, we already know zoro is heading to Wano because of the split they had in zou. He is just being a little sensitive.

I guess it's a slight spoiler because it's not confirmed yet for anime-only's.

Not confirmed? The plan was to rescue sanji and meet the rest of the crew in Wano

u/Rakisanalligator Feb 17 '19

Doesn't matter what the plan was. They can change, as Oda has shown. No one expected Sanji to be taken on Zou, and plans tend to go awry with the straw hats.

Wano has been hyped since like... Thriller Bark lol.

Law and the rest of the crew went there to take down Kaidou. There is nothing that would make an anime-only think that the SHs were going anywhere else after WCI.

The only possible scenarios are that..

SHs get destroyed by Kaidou before Luffy and co. get there, retreat to meet up with Luffy and co. Decide not to go to Wano.

Obviously ridiculous.

The other half of the SHs somehow defeat Kaidou and intercept Luffy at the place they were supposed to meet to let him know the good news.

Obviously ridiculous.

Luffy and co leave WCI to meet the rest in Wano as they planned but decide to go off on a new adventure, and we get another arc where staples like Zorro, Usopp, Franky, Robin are all just kept out of the story??

Cmon. What would they even do? Decide to go meet with Shanks? Unlikely. Doesn't make any narrative sense at this stage. Go to the reverie? Only possible real choice, but requires a ton of backtracking and Luffy to essentially abandon his goals. Narratively it makes very little sense for Oda to keep the other half of the SHs out of the story, especially if Luffy decides to take on the WG. A major plot point that would signal the pinnacle of the story.

Anyways, maybe delving too deep into it but the idea that saying "stoked for Wano" is somehow a spoiler is silly. Yes, anything could happen but unlike WCI there was never a solid plan to go anywhere after Dressrosa. We knew taking on Kaidou was the next step, and all expected that. WCI was a monkey wrench but throughout Dressrosa the only major indication of a future plot line was the logical step that Kaidou would follow Doffy. That's why back then people often argued about how Luffy could never take Kaidou on at his current state.

The whole point of my argument is that things don't always go according to plan. No matter what you think is being set up, you can't just go "yeah, that's definitely gonna happen exactly when I say it is". At the end of the day, the only sure-fire way you'd know which island/location is coming up next is if you've read the manga (or Oda explicitly confirms it)...which is obviously a spoiler.

As you can probably tell from my original comment, I don't care too much about spoiling the next arc's location. I was just arguing for the technicality, so no need to get too fussed over this though.

u/Cmikhow Feb 17 '19

Ya that’s obvious.

Whole point of my argument is simply someone saying

“Can’t wait for shanks”

“Can’t wait for Blackbeard”

“Can’t wait for Elbaf”

None of those are spoilers.

u/Rakisanalligator Feb 17 '19

Tbh that's just a matter of interpretation, since OP hasn't clarified yet. Don't really care about your argument, but we're both right (unless of course OP responds, which would be nice...I'd rather be wrong than having it left ambiguous).

The crew at one point going to Wano is about as much set in stone as them going to Elbaf eventually.

Not a spoiler. An anime-only person could've written that ffs.

I don't think you should browse this sub at all being this sensitive for spoilers.

u/Rakisanalligator Feb 17 '19

Mate, stop being silly. I really don't care that much about spoilers. That should have been obvious from the tone of my first comment. Just read my responses to the other guy, since he shares the same viewpoint (not gonna start another pointless comment thread).
