One Piece 752: boo! Another hiatus! The attacking DoFlamingo turning out to just be a thread clone felt like a bit of a cop-out, but after all the arc would have been cut short otherwise. Just seems like it didn’t need to have been included at all. Still, that was more than made up for by the rest of the chapter – Luffy making a ‘shortcut’, Robin and co getting involved, and most of all a flashback of Trafalgar Law as a kid. Aww!

Naruto 68 remains at a scale bereft of human emotion. I was remembering how Naruto’s strengths used to be ninja with limited powers coming up with ingenious ways to beat one another. Now it’s god-women stepping in and out of space-time portals and sending the whole world to attack Naruto. And I mean the fabric of the planet. What a shame. As for whether Sakura will become useful? Wlell, she’s a chakra tank to facilitate others. Does that count?
