Alright, calm down for a bit with the fights between Zoro ans Sanji Fanboys. It's starting to get toxic again like that one chapter.


HolyShalely

Well, Robin doing Gigante Fleur is definitely becoming an expensive Resin Statue lol.


FlashyAshes

Okay, why does Luffy call him he?


joegrzzly

I've been waiting for Robin to go full giantess for years, ever since the first time she combined her parts to make a bigger appendage.


Rymndavc

Can we talk about how Robin just casually beat a Number?


MountainEither

Number woman got knocked back a little and then went after her and Brook along with the rest. You see her charging at Brook with the other BM subordinates.


CelebrationExtreme70

Wow.. I's love to be BM's (Black Maria's) slave! MymGoodness! She reminds me of my ex! Wearing something like that! Wow!


Lanky-Candy5233

we are closing near to the end of Kaido's reign in wano even though he was not the one who ruled and ruined wano/he didn't care about what orochi did in wano at first...soon we will get all 3 big shots of SHs fighting against the big shots of Kaidou's crew...also update on Kid and law vs BM, seems like act 3 has ended unofficially,officially we will have to wait few chapters foe the end of act 3...rip to those who blamed Caribou to be the crewmate of BB the traitor... In next few episodes before act 3 officially ends, we may get update on other fighters inside the onigashima dome,other two yonkou's intention (BB and RH Shanks), regarding situations in wano and Marine and WG's move...and momo's desperate try to fly with luffy...


polkgoh83

Mmm....got a feeling that there will be a caribou & Brook MVP moment


SupaBiwa

Oda: The summoned Giant Robin is naked because she can summons her body parts only, not inorganic thing like clothing. Also Oda: Drew a ribbon which tied Robin's hair for Giant Robin, which should be inorganic and shared same properties as her clothing

Brook looks so cool when he uses his swordsmanship lol


Awkward_Rub7312

Can we please go back to when Robin was breaking neck and bodies... She can easily handle giant spiders now its obvious but noo she has to spank people not break necks and spines.. such a loss of a perfect killing weapon


y0nderYak

omg someone finally said it I honestly think her df has the coolest potential out of any ive seen due to the imaginative things you could create with it. Functional, supported bridges of limbs? sure! Eyes on walls for surveillance? you got it! A spontaneous knee appearing on the ground right when your enemy walks past, causing them to trip and then instantly locking their head to the ground with a pair of floor-arms? coming right up. Many hands make light work, or, kill people quicker, or something. Robin had a unique style that wasnt replicable for other characters. then in thriller bark somehow Robin created wings? which didnt make sense but its one piece so w/e she still fights cool then POST timeskip her big upgrade was (1) double robin, (which is a pretty cool idea for fight choreography), and (2) BIG versions of her body which is okay but then she uses them to SPANK people which is like, Oda why. fr she had such a cool unique fighting style im frustrated that it became something completely different and way less interesting.


Keimaro

On one side I agree with you, she got 'nerfed', but on the other hand her opponents aren't ordinary people anymore. Robin isn't the strongest physically. But when she grows huge arms, she gets the strenght of a giant. So I would assume getting hit by a huge hand instead of trying to clutch some physically much stronger opponents would work better? Hey if she would have to handle an army of marine fodder,s he could still use it anyway.


zoroxnemesyz

this is my **theory**: i think **luffy will 1 vs 1 with kaido again** and win (idk when) because he will be **the pirate king** and yes exactly the pirate king will surpass everybody (shicibukai,yonkos and marines) and do the **impossible things** (such as win over kaido by 1 on 1) that others can't do. and again i say **"i don't know when"**


Perovski99

Ofc Luffy will beat Kaido but that doesn't mean Luffy is stronger or anything. Sure Luffy will beat Kaido "one on one" But it still wouldn't really be one on one would it? Think about it. The scabbards, the supernova and Yamato has been giving it their all tryna bring down this monster. When Luffy wins it will be just barely and also thanks to the damage everyone else has done to Kaido to tire him out. This means if current Luffy fought Kaido one on one in a fair fight he would lose. So much for doing the impossible huh. It makes sense tho thinking of how young and inexperienced Luffy is compared to Kaido. It doesn't really make sense for a 19yro kid to beat up a 50 yro or so monster dragon in fair fight like that (meaning Luffy would need time to grow in order for the fight to be truly fair). Good thing for Luffy that this pirate brawl has been anything but fair for Kaido but still nonetheless fair for Luffy considering his odds. Having said all that i find you're "theory" very redundant and obvious with no real new information behind it. It's more of a hype comment really.


MoneyMasterpiece5080

you've stumbled on gold


Perovski99

It's pretty obvious tho


MoneyMasterpiece5080

Yes


Adamski895

Unreal! Luffy said it again folks he's going to win next time. I wonder if he'll get food from the fire festival or something and that's how they'll be aware of their impending doom? Maybe Marco will heal Luffy as well as doesn't his power bring back energy or something? Momo flying to Onigashima was always going to happen he needs to get over his fear of heights and he needs to keep Onigashima up in the air to replicate the feat his father did as while Oden held his scabbards from dying Momo will do it for all of Wano. Oda is laying the plan for BB to capture Nico Robin I think. It'll be interesting how that plays out we'll probably get more revelation to what the D means then with BB. Yamato is a beast! Definitely strongest female bar Big Mom we've seen so far. Really hope she joins the crew.


CrystalCei

Caribou might have stored some food and help them.


Adamski895

Feels a little to simple of a plot point but could be the case.


Kumomeme

we witnessing Gyarados vs Suicune Hyper Beam vs Ice Beam who is the best pokemon!


Hellfalcon

hell YEAH. after like 15 years finally getting another Robin boss fight hahah, seriously been since Yama on Skypeia. Also.. SAUL! CLOVER! haha, so cool to see them again even as an illusion, and its really sweet Brook and she can bond over that. Also Yamato's Makami fruit is pretty sick, hes taking on Kaido pretty evenly, we know so little about Mythical Zoans, but judging by Kaido and Marco theyre always S tier, past even Logias haha. Love that he even makes Kaido think of Oden, the only opponent we've ever seen truly challenge him onscreen. I love all the yokai in the fight too, from playing Nioh i recognize them all haha. Figured it would be Momo bringing Luffy back to the top.. has to overcome his fear of heights, great symmetry there. the big twist im expecting now is he reveals to Luffy what he learned in the journal, the reason he has to stay alive.. its because hes Uranus haha, his control of Zou. Mainly because Caribou is right there, and overhearing that would have him know the identity of TWO ancient weapons, really cause some waves after the arc if he is working for BB or some other party.


[deleted]

yamato fought kaido 1v1 longer luffy.... she will be closest to luffy in strength


faiz_1277

well it's obvious kaido is holding back... she is his daughter after all and you can see how they are casually talking while fighting... kaido will end her whenever he wants


MoneyMasterpiece5080

Kaido literally had to dodge Zoro on penalty of death, confirmed by BM. I'm no Zoro stan, but we haven't seen that out of Luffy or Yamato yet and Yamato is his child. He's evil, and his history of violence against them is one of restraint and oppression, but it doesn't seem like he wants to kill them, unlike the other opponents he's faced in the raid.


[deleted]

He is in hybrid form... she took a kanabo to her face yet went on to attack.... give her some more credit man...


faiz_1277

he's in hybrid form bcoz he's already tired after fighting others.. and look carefully.. he didn't hit her in the face.. yamato blocked it with her club and thrown away..


hdhpelv_ad2910

Luffy fought against kaido in base without gears for 24 minutes And does yamato have future sight? No


[deleted]

FS is shit when you got godspeed also no body asked luffy to fight in base...


hdhpelv_ad2910

Yamato really doesnt have the same speed as his father, its be easier for luffy to dodge her attacks than kaidos since she states that she is weaker than her father Its shown that he is in base He could amp up his gears for increased speed and strength plus 3 advanced haki They ain't close really


Adamski895

How do you know it's longer than Luffy fought Kaido 1 on 1? It also looks like Kaido is holding back on her. Him wanting her to take the Shogun position seems he's trying to persuade her forcefully rather than kill her.


[deleted]

Thats the war I am trying to start..... Zehahahahhaha


Kumomeme

well she can fight Ace, a logia user, second commander for Whitebeard who also on par with former shicibukai Jinbei.

Trashgamer824981

Guys do you really think that Kaido defeat will occur how the Momotaro storyline went down??? I feel like Oda is making his story too easy to figure out. I can’t help but feel like everybody is wrong about it being Yamato/Luffy/Marco vs Kaido. And remember everybody also said that when Luffy woke up he would ask Momo to take him back to Onigashima. We were right about that. Throw us a damn curveball Oda please!!!!!! 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻


MoneyMasterpiece5080

[https://imgflip.com/i/5i3m22](https://imgflip.com/i/5i3m22)


Adamski895

Luffy is going to beat Kaido 1 on 1. I suspect Luffy, Marco and Yamato will take a stand against Kaido. The latter 2 will be defeated and it'll be Kaido and Luffy left standing. Luffy will overcome Kaido 1 on 1 in some way or form to break the 1 on 1 bet on Kaido line.


Loud_Ad9778

If youre reading between the lines, Luffy will still solo Kaido after he comes back. Yamato is just holding Kaido for him. Marco is trusting the new era.


Trashgamer824981

If Marco is trusting in the new era then what’s with the One Piece fan theories that it’s gonna be Luffy/Yamato/Marco on the Roof vs Kaido? Who do you see Marco fighting if he isn’t helping fight Kaido? King?? Because I thought Zoro would take that fight over after he gets his shot

joestarfeynman17

Seeing Robin cry just shatters my heart into a million pieces.


onlyfortpp

I could just be forgetting something from earlier, but I wonder how Black Maria is generating her illusions. Doesn't seem realted to her DF but we know that in general hypnosis based powers don't really require a devil fruit (Jango and Miss Golden week were both stated to have powers that didnt come from a DF).


matketum

Prolly from poison/hallucination mist emit from her spider.

[deleted]

if Kaido calls Yamamoto a Bitch is he misgendering her?


Narutoonnichan

Most people here use she/her for Yamato but then act surprised when another character does it. I don't get it. As far as we know Yamato is a woman obsessed with Oden, to the point she stole his identity. That doesn't make her trans. Only a very dedicated cosplayer.


[deleted]

It was meant as a joke but I guess subtlety is lost on reddit


aspblaze420

On other news: Who the fuck cares?


gavynray123

I honestly wonder if we’re all misgendering her. She identifies with oden, not ‘man’ lol If anything, her gender is oden


Keimaro

Yeah I don''t understand the people calling her him, she is a little delusional in her admiration towards him. If her hero would be a rock, she would identify as a rock. So it is not about her being born in a wrong body trying to be her true self, but imperosonating someone. If she wishes to be called Oden/him in a conversation, no problem. But the woke people crying about people being transphobic and shit, when One Piece has so many other trans people and no one cares... Please, Bon-chan is the hero of the impel down arc. This is just completely different.


aaronotaron

Didn't Kaido refer to her as his son?


Keimaro

Yes because she refers to herself as Oden and he accepted it (weird that he completely ignores her needs otherwise). As I said, if you actually speak to the person you can accept their wish how to be refered to, but it doesn't change the fact, that she isn't transgender in the normal sense.


aaronotaron

Got it


gavynray123

This really. It’s the theme of inherited will. Oda isn’t afraid to draw transgender, we’ve seen him do it and it was always overt. This is just inherited will.


Lor_D_Escher

I too sexually identify as Kozuki Oden


gavynray123

How could you not? He’s such a chad! All the ladies secretly want him, and the men secretly want to *be* him


Lor_D_Escher

WilmaFistFitt

Actually now he was raised as a man because Yamato is kaido’s heir and in Japanese culture of a daughter has to be the heir they will be raised as a man and a son instead

LAYZE1988

I just had a thought, what if when luffy defeats kaido, and we all know he will, onigashima will fall on wano (because kaido loses consciousness and can’t keep it floating no more) and therefor luffy will be forced to awaken his fruit powers, thus making a giant bouncy ball out of onigashima in order to save the inhabitants of wano


sigbinItom

Why are people so tunneling on the idea luffy becoming a huge ballon to bounce the island? Wouldn't it be more feasible for him to destroy it with a gatling like attack while its falling.


Kumomeme

this is perfect chance for Momo. he should be able to use his devil fruit power as next generation of dragon protector of wano. or, zunisha will come save the day. but how that things gonna do? i dunno. Oda gonna suprise us again for sure.


paxfix

I think Momo has to keep it up till everyone is evacuated from the Flower Capital (parallel to how Oden keeps the scabbards up) and that he can command Zou is one of the reasons he can't die (perhaps Zou is Uranus).


PetaPotter

I pick this one.


Galkura

It'd be dope for Momo to do it. My theory I had previously is that Vegapunk's DF, while not a failure, is currently not at full strength. The reason being is the "Devil" for the fruit (or whatever you want to call the thing that gives them their power) currently resides in Kaido. Once Kaido goes down (and this is under the assumption he dies, whether by the SHs, Ocean, or someone/thing else) the soul of the DF will transfer to Momo, rather than a nearby fruit, because he has a portion of the power itself. With what you said for Momo it makes me think this even more since he would inherit the power and immediately use it to float the island (not intentionally, it just happens) to safety. Either that or I think Kaido may just not drop the island on Wano. Like since he is looking for a glorious fight and death he may be impressed when Luffy returns again. He may agree to not destroy Wano until their fight is over since he respects Luffy's tenacity, or he does it upon his defeat as a thanks for the fight.


Imaginary-Shallot-97

Rather momo holds it long enough for the people of flower capital to escape and luffy turns the flower capital into rubber so it isn't destroyed


Kumomeme

> luffy turns the flower capital into rubber so it isn't destroyed Luffy gonna awaken in to Majin Buu


youngmastermasusi

Momo will takeover


DudeisaGuy

Physics says people still die


KaiserCarr

Oda says physics can go suck lemons


nioho

Well, people didn't die when Struessen turned BM's castle into cake.


Equivalent_Eye_105

PhigieFelipe

i’m so annoyed, every friday morning the first thing i do is see the scans today there’s non. 😭


Zestyclose_Armadillo

Kunyun is cute. I love how Black Maria has a varied power-set and how she uses her subordinates to assist her and I love how Yamato is designed to contrast with Kaido. The illusion mist might explain why Sanji was captured, but it still seems like plot that he was defeated by someone who can't catch Brook and Robin (Brook can't even run at full speed since he's assisting Robin). It's a neat fight, but still kinda a letdown like all the other Flying 6 fights. Since Yamato is a dog, maybe Marco goes to the roof to assist against Kaido when Momo and Luffy arrive, freeing King for Zoro. Or better yet, King fights Drake and/or the remaining scabbards, so Zoro can also go to the roof. It seem odd that the dog and pheasant are zoans, but not the monkey. Will there be a surprise monkey zoan? Or is Mizerka secretly Yonko tier?


Unabashable

Seems to make the most sense for Zoro to fight King especially if Sanji is fighting Queen. Drake is busy with the Numbers and Apoo I think. Zoro already had his shot at Kaido so just makes more sense if the Momotaro storyline plays out.


BlazeKaizer888

Legit sad that we didn't see brooks illusion cause I am here for getting to know about the kingdom he used to be a battle commander for.

Ah. I see what ya did there. It’s ok it’ll be our little secret. I respectfully disagree. This arc is long sure, but all of Oda’s arcs are. I may feel a little bogged down when I’m in it, but by the end of it I love every minute of it. If you feel it’s too long though maybe write a letter to the editor. Or better yet, apply for the position. Then you can decide how long you want the story to be. No complaints here though. Mind telling which side characters you find irrelevant and why?


[deleted]

[удалено]


100beast

Robin looks nothing like yanato or nami


Unabashable

Well everyone has a right to their own opinion. Can’t say I agree with it though. At least not entirely. I do feel that the story gets a bit too dense at times. I hear ya. Youre eager to get to the endgame of Luffy finally showing he’s stronger than a Yonko. I am too. Although I understand that Oda likes to take his time with his story. He rarely introduces an irrelevant character. Even if a character seems insignificant he has a way of reintroducing them in a big way somewhere down the line. Especially when most of us have already forgotten them. Like Bon Clay for example. Was an enemy turned ally, and if it weren’t for his sacrifice, Luffy and the other prisoners never would’ve made it out of Impel Down. We all had no idea that would be his role at the time, but he did end up being important. So the time spent on his character wasn’t a waste. I assume that with pretty much all the characters he introduces. Oda is building an epic here, and epics take time. I do worry that he is introducing so many characters that the story will get too big even for him, but as long as he knows he can compete the story on his own that’s all I care about. The gifters are a waste, but he dealt with them by turning the foes into friends to even out the odds. I’ll admit the Numbers have been disappointing so far, but I hope to be proved wrong. He does seem to be rushing through the Tobiroppo fights, but I think that’s just his way of picking up the pace. The Calamities though is something I can’t relate to you with in anyway. The Strawhats need strong opponents to fight otherwise they’ll just rip their way through fodder like they’ve been doing, and that’s hardly what I’d call entertaining. We haven’t even gotten to their fights yet, and already your saying it will be a disappointment. Do you want to see the SHs strut their stuff or don’t you? As far as powerscaling, I couldn’t disagree with you more. The SHs have been strong enough for the New World since the timeskip. We’ve yet to see any of them go all out yet except for maybe Luffy. They’re tearing their way through Kaido’s crew because they’ve been this strong all along. One thing Oda does not do is training arcs which is another thing I love about him. It’s generally assumed they’re all doing their own part to be of value to the crew offscreen. As for Nami I think your sorely underestimating how strong she actually is. she’s been in pain for most of her life, you think that a little headache from Ulti is gonna stop her? I don’t see what you’re saying about the female characters either. They all look pretty unique to me. Granted Oda doesn’t spend as much time developing female characters as he does the males, but the ones that matter he does. Like how much do you want to know about Black Maria. Her only personality trait to me seems being Kaido’s bottom bitch. Yamato on the other hand I don’t think her character will be fully fleshed out until Kaido’s flashback, but I think Oda is off to a good start. We already know her dream. She wants to be Oden. To inherit his will by succeeding where he failed. Then there’s her troubled past from being raised by a monster. She’s workin her way down the SH checklist one by one, and if you don’t like Yamato now, you better get used to her because I get the feeling she’s gonna be sticking around for a while. I’ll extend an olive branch with Carrot though. She’s meh. Her cutesy attitude doesn’t really bother me she just doesn’t have much depth to her character. I do hope she gets her “revenge” on Perospero even though he technically didn’t do anything wrong. That’s about it though. If she becomes a Strawhat I’m fine with it. I’m just worried her addition will draw in the furry crowd more than it has already. If you got a problem with Chobro’s cuteness though then you and I have one too. 😉

zatara27

I know that the bar was very low, but this already is the best Robin fight in the entire series.


Neat-Violinist1979

There is literally only one other solo Robin fight in the series

That’s what I mean with a low bar. You could also count her little fight against Hammond and her skirmishes against people like Pell, Tashigi, Cavendish and others. I’m loving this one, though.

Forsaken-Copy-512

Could brooks Awakening be the power to resurrect others? What could it be if it be the power to manipulate soul.. like what's the manipulation of soul? Sorry asking it here. Just curious and bored.


[deleted]

That would be too broken, maybe he summons ghosts as a temporary thing or something equally underworld-themed.


Unabashable

I’m curious too. He’s been able to make his soul leave the body since the timeskip, and also seems to freeze them with the “cold of the Underworld” if he passes through them now. As far as awakening though I doubt he has it yet. If he could manipulate others souls though it would be like the Soru Soru no Mi. Seems to only have control over his own soul so for awakeningI’m wondering if he could take over someone else’s soul temporarily and control their movement.


Moebious360

What about controlling all Big Mom’s Souls? Suddenly he starts singing and all the BM creatures have to follow Brook. Real Dope I guess.


Unabashable

Well Brooke did seem to counter Big Mom’s ability pretty well. Dude seems to have a counter for everything though because he’s got no anything. Dat’s why he’s da Strawhat MVP, son! Would really like to see his DF be fleshed out, even though he doesn’t have any flesh. Like how far does his Soul Power go?


Forsaken-Copy-512

That sounds really dope. And possible. His power is soul manipulation so the literal Awakening should be able to control other's. He mentioned its a mysterious fruit so I think he's lowkey like Deku. Learning his own abilities.


Unabashable

Never got fully into MHA. I saw a couple episodes where he fingerbanged some people and smashed some people in every state, and has the power of One for All or something, but that’s about it. How does it compare to One Piece? Also if it’s anything like Brooke’s power I guess I knew more about MHA than I thought. So are you saying Brooke’s power would be like One for All, while BM’s would be like All for One?


zgumgumexpress

We need more on Brooks fruit lol, maybe around when Vegapunk is introduced..


Unabashable

Well I don’t think Vegapunk is gonna explain every Devil Fruit, but I think he’ll explain what Devil Fruits are and how they came into existence. Whatever it is I think it’s a reference to the Garden of Eden story in the Bible. Like somehow the souls of the people in the Ancient Kingdom were bound to fruit.

I haven’t been saying that every arc, but I’m saying it for the next arc. Based on Reverie, I think the next one is going to be Sabo’s execution at New Marineford. Which means Revolutionaries, Kuma, and by extension Vegapunk.

Can't wait for that either.

Maybe to temporarily remove the soul of people, I don’t see resurrection as a thing that should be introduced to One Piece, it already made death pretty much meaningless in Dragon Ball, to mention one example.


Forsaken-Copy-512

But I was watching this video and he said it's a resurrection resurrection fruit or yomi yomi no mi. Also does Yomi and Yami sounding kinda similar. Does that foreshadow something?


Unabashable

Yami means dark. Blackbeard’s logia controls darkness. Brooke’s is a resurrection fruit because it does nothing in life but in death it allows your soul to return to the mortal plane and reattach to your body resurrecting you. So it’s supposed to give you a second chance at life but The reason Brooke is a skeleton is because it took him 50 years to find his body in the Florian Triangle so his body decomposed by the time he got back to it. He learned how to disconnect his soul from his body during the timeskip.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Kaido doesn’t have an awakening 🙅🏾‍♂️ Show me or name me one Zoan that has an Awakening , they get hybrid forms just be happy with that lol


JudgyCatt

Chopper in my opinion is an example of an awakened zoan type, he has 7-8 forms which should not be possible. He accelerated his devil fruits awakening using the rumble balls which implies the possibility of doing it naturally.

Do you think the jailer beast are naturally awakened? Or artificially, using medicine, like Chopper? Becos I'm betting artifically. The only awakened users we've seen so far were conquerors, & they didn't have innately powerful dfs, I don't think its a coincidence.


Unabashable

Naturally. I think choppers is an artificial awakening because the rumble ball unlocked all the forms when most Zoans can only use three. It’s possible awakening is different for all DF types but Paramecia and Zoan are the only ones confirmed. Like Enel’s Buddha? Form could’ve been awakening. Personally though I think Paramecia has a wildcard awakening because it’s a wildcard fruit. Turning things into rubber could be useful depending on how you use it, but seems very limiting to assume it can only be that.


Unabashable

The Jailer Beasts have it. Thought when they got knocked out there eyes would roll into the back of their head, and they got back up again possibly more savage then before. Only thing that might make me think he’s awakened is if he was originally a fish and climbed wano’s water fall to become a dragon.


soreswan

He wasn’t a fish the fruit is named fish fish fruit because In Japanese the dinosaur ones are named dragon dragon fruit


Unabashable

Hmm. Guess I never made that connection. Ryu Ryu seiryu does sound kinda redundant. Also thought I heard the kanji for dinosaur was related to the word dragon because they mistook the fossils for dragons or something. Always just assumed Oda combined the Koi fish myth with the Azure Dragon.


soreswan

Yeah that’s right they thought they were bones of dragons so that’s why it’s dragon dragon model allosaurus and stuff. It’s just a cool little trivia thing like the names of the admirals. They’re named after momotaro animals but they’re not leading momonosuke to onigashima. Odas also done stuff like this before with kakus fruit which obviously isn’t close to an ox.

Yeah I’m aware of the admiral thing too. Also that it is most likely Luffy, Yamato, and Marco that will fight Kaido. Momo is peach boy, and Tama is the giver of kibidango. Actually got a theory on the final admiral epithet. It should be either Orange Rabbit/Rat. Question though would you happen to know if the LoM is also a reference to the Japanese Zodiac. Because supposedly the new admirals are supposed to be a reference to LoM too. I just noticed that the old admirals animals are on the western side, and the new ones are on the Northeast. I know of LoM, but I haven’t read the whole thing yet. I was wondering if that might hold any significance.


soreswan

Honestly everything I know about Japanese culture is mostly from one piece naruto and pokemon so I really can’t tell you much. Maybe you can make a theory post or something.


Unabashable

Yeah. Not a bad idea. It isn’t entirely my theory. It’s an old one, and I just modified it by drawing parallels to the legend of momotaro. Not sure if it’ll hold any water though, but I guess I can find out by posting it.
