One Piece: Possible Arcs After the "Vs The Four Emperor's Arc"

One Piece is probably one of the most unpredictable shounen manga out there, unlike other shounen manga's like Naruto and Bleach, where fans do get to predict what's gonna happen next, One Piece despite going on for such a long time already, still has a lot of surprise in store for its fans. But that still doesn't stop us fans from trying to speculate what's gonna happen next because its fun anyway.

So here I would like to talk about what other Arcs could be possible after the currently on going "Vs The  Four Emperor's Arc".

A Mariejois Arc.

For a while I'm one of those people who agree that an Arc involving Mariejois might be saved till the very end of the manga, and that the final war will occur in here. After all this place is far too important, with the World Nobles, Gorosei and World Government Commander in Chief Kong being here, as well as the Reverie being held in this place. But lately I think we really might get an arc or a at least a small arc focused on Mariejois. Due to 3 reasons that I can think of.

1. The Reverie is about to be, or is already being held in the manga. Its possible that something important is about to happen during the meeting that could disrupt the balance of the world.

2. The World Nobles have been revealed as the one that's really in charged in the world government, their even higher than the Gorosei, but i don't think their a good final villain, so they might get taken out before Akainu and being the the leader of the Marines the largest faction of the World Government he could becomes its leader through emergency powers, depending on the situation. This Theory does bring lots of problems though.


3. This place holds some important secrets that is most likely related to the Void Century, but its still not the final island, but it might contain important information what really occurred during the Void Century seeing that the Gorosei do have have some knowledge of it.

A Raftel Arc

Another possible Arc with the revelation of the Road Poneglyph is that we might actually get a Raftel Arc. They could actually get all the Road Poneglyph in the current Arc and find the location of Raftel next.

A CP-0 Arc

This organization is getting a lot of hyped lately, being involved and playing a huge role in Dressrosa Arc. Their also tailing the Revolutionaries themselves, Dragon even warned his men to watch out for the Cipher Pol as its gaining a lot of strength lately. They were also involved in the fight against the Revolutionaries and the Blackbeard Pirates. We might get to know more about them soon, and they might even have their own personal plans. We still know very little about them at this point aside from their new members Spandam and Rob Lucci, but they do seem to be very dangerous and at least Admiral level in power given that they serve the World Nobles directly.

The Last Road Poneglyph Arc

With the last Road Poneglyph's  location being unknown, we might also get an Arc in search for the last important stone, since it seems that even the Four Yonkou's don't know where it's located. The location of the last Road Poneglyph might be difficult to go to and is worth being an entire arc since the revelation of Raftel's location and how to get there might be too surprising.

A Monkey D. Dragon Arc

With Dragon's disappearance and the Revolutionaries HQ being destroyed, Dragon might actually make his move soon. In his last appearance he did ask to call all the top leaders of the Revolutionaries. We're still not sure if he and Luffy are gonna get along when they meet, after all Dragon is the leader of the revolutionary and Luffy is the future Pirate King, they might have some disagreements on their principles.

Enel's Return Arc

This is much unlikelier than the others, but I'm just hoping that Oda didn't show Enel's Space Adventure for no reason. Enel might still be relevant to the overall story, since he found an ancient kingdom that seems to have important secrets of its own. He might return on his own or the Straw hats might have some reason to go to Space and encounter him, I wouldn't put this beyond Oda to do as they did manage to go to Skypiea, there might be a way for them to get to Space. If Enel does return, I hope he have some new tricks against Luffy and his crew.



Note:This are just my thoughts and it all could be wrong since Oda Eichirou is a very good writer and very unpredictable, I'm still surprised that the Kozuki Clan are the ones who made the Ponegylphs, I did not see that coming at all. Most likely there are more surprise from Oda

My Top Ten Anime Chefs

Note: Many characters on this list aren't really chef by profession, others are still students, but has great skills


10. Usui Takumi(Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama)

Not really a chef, more like a one time chef. since he became just a chef once on an emergency, But he definitely has the skills for it. How he slice every single ingredients, crack that damn egg and cooked it.

In just one scene in one episode, he proves how great of a cook he is. though that's how Usui always does it in just about everything else that he does.

9. Rin Okumura(Ao No Exorcist)

Rin Okumura is also not really a professional chef, more like it became one his many jobs. But he showed himself from time to time to be quite proficient at it.

As a matter of fact he has been cooking, ever since he was just a little toddler, so that at least shows that he has lots of experience in cooking already by the time that the series started, he really looks adorable as child.

Even at his time in True Cross Academy he still continues to cook when he can. so even though he might not be a chef by profession, he definitely has the skills to be a great one in case he chooses to pursue it.

8. Teuchi(Naruto)

Any list about cooking in anime couldn't be complete without this guy of course, the owner of Ichiraku Ramen, Teuchi. The guy whose ramen is wanted by all, ninja's, assasins, criminals, students, and many more, not just in Konoha but also those from other countries. probably the best ramen maker in anime history. His ramen just by watching the anime is just mouth watering.

Naruto probably won't be able to overcome some of his dark moments without Ichiraku Ramen. So in a way his cooking is partly responsible for saving the entire Ninja World. how can any ramen compete with that.

7. Sebastian Michaelis (Kuroshitsuji)

A bit unfair and somewhat of an overkill for others in this list since Sebastian is a Demon who can put everything into perfection, hence why I decided to put him a bit low on this list. Being the butler of the Phantomhive Family, and with the actual chef Bard being unable to cook, Sebastian is technically also the Chef of the Phantomhive House Manor.

As someone who serve Aristocrats and those high in society, each food that he serve must always be at high class and without fail. from breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts and even the midnight snacks of his spoiled master.

He even at one time beat Indians at their own specialty which is curry, by making his own creation. A curry bread with their Phantomhive chocolate inside it. which looks really delicious.

6. Sanji(One Piece)

Samji, the Straw Hat Pirates one and only cook. As the first real professional chef in this list, Sanji is the former sous chef for Red Leg's Baratie, Sanji now dreams of finding the All Blue the chef's paradise. To appreciate Sanji as a cook. 1. their always at sea, 2.sometimes they barely have any good ingredients, 3. he has to feed their Captain Monkey D. Luffy who has a ginormous appetite, 4. the rest of the crew, 5. impress Namie and Robin with his cooking from time to time and lastly 5.make sure that the kitchen is always in good shape.

How can he not be a good chef? He's not just a good chef, he's an awesome chef.



5. Komatsu(Toriko)

Komatsu the partner of Toriko. by now he is already one the top chefs in Toriko world and at such a young. being able to cook ingredient that many would thought to be inedible or impossible to cook, Komatsu is already an excellent chef at a very young age. he has also cooked dishes in the world of Toriko what many think would take hundreds to thousands of years to prepare in just a matter of years or even just days, with only a very few help from other chefs.

And of course, all of this putting in consideration that he has to cook for the likes of Toriko, Zebra and Midora. who all has monstrous, nearly unbelievable,insane appetite. who's hunger is so hard to satisfy. but he does so anyway. Komatsu though he may not look like it, is one insanely talented chef.

4. Ajiyoshi Yoichi(Mr. Ajikko)

Being the main character of one of first anime that is all about cooking Ajiyoshi deserves to be high on this list despite being maybe out of date already. Despite being so young, he already goes up against many grown up talented chefs throughout the series. Not only that, with his family being poor, he most of the time has no real access to top notch ingredients. Impressing the great Murata Genjiro in their first encounter with only the ingredient available in their small restaurant, is already itself a great accomplishment and that just in the first episode.

3. Liu Mao Hsing(Cooking Master Boy)

Cooking Master Boy is perhaps my favorite Cooking Anime when I was young, and its main character Mao never failed to amaze me every time. Being born in Ancient China at an Era known as Cooking Wars Mao at a young age certainly has to face a lot of competition as everyone in this age aims to be on top. being already a chef at his mother's restaurant at a young age, Mao is a prodigious cook, not to mention throughout the series, mysterious organization use underhanded methods most of the time to win against their opponents yet Mao still manages to trump them all. In cooking Mao is someone who can put almost everything in consideration including the culture, climate and other factors that can affect the appetite of those whom he served his dishes too, despite his talent he is always very innovating and improvising

The only problem with Mao is that he is limited in Chinese Cuisines during his time, otherwise if he might be even higher on this list.

2. Azuma Kazuma(Yakitate Japan)

My favorite pastry chef in anime, and probably others personal favorite as well. Azuma Kazuma's personality is not hard to love. He is energetic,funny, talented, humble and yet ambitious. His goal is to make the best Ja-pan, bread of his creation which he hopes will one day represent Japan and be known throughout the world.

Azuma Kazuma has a certain talent known as Solar Hands. which helps many incredible breads. throughout the series he has continiously made unbelievable creative versions of his Ja-pan. One of his greatest accomplishment is that when one of the Judge ate his Ja-pan, it was so delicious that the Judge actually went to heaven, in effect he died because of how delicious it was.If that alone doesn't speak of how great of a pastry chef he is, just watch the series since he has more to offer.

1. Yukihira Souma

One of the most popular chefs in anime today, Yukihira Souma is the successor of the Yukihira Restaurant, being the son of its owner Yukihira Joichirou. Already a talented chef at the start of the series, he aims to surpass he's father one day, despite his almost 500th lost to him. But as it turns out before he can do that, he must first survive the school that his father enrolled him in Tootsuki Academy, where he is pitted not just against fellow child prodigy chefs like himself but survive tests from it Allumni who are now big on the culinary world, as this is the Academy's way of further imrproving its students. Only the greatest and most talented chefs survive in that Academy and now Souma determined to surpass his old man aims to be on top.

Magi 316 Review: Elder David On The Move, Finally! What Is He Planning

Magi Chapter 316 started out quite surprisingly, with Sinbad talking to Elder David himself.

David taunts Sinbad that he is afraid that the world is turning away from his ideal world and that they more similar than Sinbad originally thought. As Sinbad created his Syndria Trading Company to stop wars and slowly make nations disappear, Elder David notes that this is the same reason that he created the Ganuds that subjugated the other species in Alam Toran. Both SSinbad is absolutely furious of this comparison. But David continues on saying that they are both a singularity, being who can see the flow of destiny. David tells that both their life are lonely as no one understand them, and not to avert his eyes on destiny, the end of the world, that Sinbad needs to become a God.

even more surprising is that THERE IS ANOTHER KEY TO THE SACRED PALACE! what the hell is it? I'm hyped for it.

another interesting this chapter is Arba, she once again mentions her need to meet "That Person" at first we thought that its Elder David but now it seems "That Person" is really someone else, someone that Arba wants to meet no matter what, that she will even work for Elder David even if for her its worst than death itself. It seems at the end of their conversation Elder David gave an order to Arba.

Sinbad and Alladin also finally meet again in this chapter with Sinbad admitting defeat, since if Arba can't defeat Alladin, then even Sinbad can't which means Arba might be more powerful than Sinbad or their power is just really close.

Alladin also gave Sinbad his thoughts on destiny, for Alladin destiny is simply everyone's hopes dreams as a collective, even Sinbad's desire to erase war from this world and even to simply make others happy. though Sinbad seemingly concedes and appears to agree with Alladin's views, this is not the case as in private, Sinbad still maintains that he is the only one who knows how the way the world works and that only he can save it.

As Sinbad talks to David, on how David usually lectures him on the naivety of first class singularities, Sinbad find out that he can no longer hear Elder David's voice

So, we got a few clues of Elder Davids Plans and how he influences Sinbad. Alladin's answer is actually pretty good for most people as it can define as something that is not predetermined but depend on  people's own will and desire. unfortunately Sinbad and David(and maybe even Arba) views destiny as something that is predetermined, hence this is where their views conflict each other. Lots of question are also raised on this chapter. What on earth is Elder David planning? How come Sinbad can no longer Elder Davids voice? Who is the person that Arba wants to meet? What is the other key towars the Sacred Palace aside from Solomos Wisdom? So many hype for this chapter

We also find out that Sinbad's intentions are still good in the sense that he wants to save the world except he wants to do it by becoming a God, a Celestial Dictator of some sort, who tells how the world will go. anyone against him is unjust. I hope Alladin can correct him on his views as Sinbad seems to be really just under the influence of Elder David

Arba is also not done yet, she is now fully working with Elder David but still has some goals of her own. there's still a lot of mystery about her character.

Very good and interesting chapter over all, probably 9 out of 10 for this chapter. hope we finally get to see Judal soon, I miss him already.

Noblesse and Bleach Villains: Yhwach and Lagus Tradio, Villains of Death and Destruction

This is about two villains who I find to be somewhat impressive lately, they might be some of the most successful villains to date.

First, is Yhwach, main antagonist of the final arc of the Bleach series. Father of all Quincies, Ancient Evil type of villain. being the father of all Quincies, he is the natural enemy of all Shinigamis. He is taught to have been defeated 1000 years ago, but actually survived and is planning his revenge the whole time. Yhwach is responsible for more death and destruction than any other Bleach villains. Yhwach is set to recover his power, heart and mind after 999 years. This is achieved by taking away the lives of weak Quincies and adding it all up to Yhwach. a method called Auschwalen.

When his revival was completed, Yhwach wasted no time and invades Hueco Mundo and enslaved all the Hallows. shortly after that he begins his long awaited war with his hated foes the shinigamis. Commencing a surprise attack, the shinigamis were almost powerless against his army, not only do they not know how Yhwach army invaded Seireitei, but they also don't know how the Quincies are stealing their bankais. With the shinigamis being unprepared and confused, the Quincies manage to kill hundreds of Shinigamis in the few seconds after their attack. Yhwach also manage to personaly kill Yamamoto Genryusai and his Sternritters manage to fatally wound many of the Gotei 13 captains, while his soldiers pretty much destroyed Seireitei itself.

In his second invasion, Yhwach manage to surprise the shinigamis again, though they are more prepared this time, Yhwach prove that he did not underestimate them, since all of his sternritters are capable of fighting against captain class shinigamis with their bankai activated. Not only that this time several Captain class shinigamis already trained themselves to their highest potencial yet, his army still gave them a hard time. Even worst we found out that for every Quincy that dies, their soul goes to Yhwach, their father, extending his life and making him more powerful. so everytime that Shinigamis beat a Quincy they get wounded and weakened as Yhwach grows stronger.

When Ichigo finally arrives in Soul Society after his training with the Zero Division, Yhwach reveals that he is waiting for him as not the barriers towards the Soul King's Palace is now temporarily open. Yhwach then proceeds to go to the Soul King Palace itself. and as usual leaving destruction in his wake.

Altough, the Zero Division blocks his path when he arrives, Yhwach reveals that he is again ready for them as he reveals his own Elite Guards of his own.

In a deceptive battle, when his own Elite was beaten by the Zero division Yhwach conducts Auschwalen on his non elite Sternritters and Soul Society. killing them while reviving and strengtening his own elite. In the  battle between the Zero Division  Head Captain Ichibei Hyousubei, the first Shinigami, the one who is above all other Shinigamis, and Yhwach, the Father of all Quincies, the son of the Soul King, Yhwach reveals his true power

As the Almighty, Yhwach can see the future and change whatever threat that is against it, as long has he has seen it, it becomes powerless before him. Yhwach then proceeds defeat Ichibei while his Elite defeats the rest of the Zero division. Yhwach then proceeds to go to the Soul King himself to kill him.

Though ichigo manage to chase Yhwach to the Soul King Palace, Yhwach still manage to succeed with his goal and became the new Soul King himself

I will stop with Yhwach here as this is his great accomplishments, and his defeat is not even certain, not to mention that it is not even believable to begin with. But, I think I made a point already what kind of a villain he is, he is a no-nonsense villain, who will go straight for the kill rather than resort to games and complicated plans. not that he can't come up with good plans of his own, as a matter of fact he's a pretty good strategist himself. he can took his enemies best and still destroy them, anything thrown at him or those that gets in his ways are eliminated he's a nearly unstoppable villain.

Now the other great villain is this guy Lagus Tradio from Noblesse, a famous korean manhwa. Lagus Tradio is an even more ancient evil than Yhwach, since being a member of the Noble Race, he is possibly thousands if not million of years old already. Lagus is the former head of the Tradio clan on Lukedonia. Among the traitor clan leaders Lagus is probably the most ambitious if not the most evil. In his short appearance in the series, Lagus has done quite a lot as a villain.

In his first appearance he showed disrespect with the werewolves that he allied himself with, even on their Lord. He is an opportunist, when he find out that many of the current clan leaders are not in Lukedonia, he decided that its finally time to return and invade his homeland.

Lagus is also without mercy and is quick witted, when they spot one of the clan leaders Rajak Kertia, he decided to dispose of him immediately, ganging up on him despite each of them being as powerful or even more powerful than Rajak alone. Lagus played a huge role on Rajak's death and showed no remorse after his death even enjoying his last moments of suffering.

After killing Rajak, Lagus wasted no time at all, he finally goes to Lukedonia, and to keep the attack a surprise he destroys the barrier protecting Lukedonia and it ability to alert the nobles when intruders come. Lagus and his men then begins to hunt down the Nobles one by one.

As his men begins to hunt down the nobles, Lagus returns to his clan and took leadership once again after such a long time, his daughter Claudia the one acting as the clan leader the whole time in his absence and other clan members now bows before Lagus in his return.

After some time Lagus and his daughter then targets Gejutel one of Lagus old friend. Lagus immediately poisons his old friends by stabbing him with a poisoned attack and dragging him along as he wants him to witness the fall of the new Lord of Nobles, Lagus and his fellow traitor Nobles Gradeus and Edian then proceeds to attack the new clan leaders. Although they succeed in beating the new clan leaders, their ally werewolves who met and couldn't defeat the new Lord of Nobles, Raskeia, led her to Lagus. Since the werewolves aren't loyal to Lagus they figure that it would be better if Lagus and the Lord fight each other.

Too bad for the new Lord, Lagus and his fellow traitors are now more powerful than they are 500 years ago and proceeds to defeat the new Lord, all while Lagus taunts her just how weak she is. 

When Lagus is finally about to suceed Frankenstein and later on his master the Noblesse, Cadis Etrama Di Raizel finally arrives to the rescue.Though Lagus is at first confident that he can defeat the Noblesse as well, he, the other traitors and the werewolves are all completely outmatched by the Noblesse

. 

Lagus then is forced to use his trump card the Blood Stone.

The Blood Stone is a forbidden item among the Noble Race and is guarded by the Noblesse himself, when Lagus came back to Lukedonia, he stole the Blood Stone in Raizel's mansion. it turns out Lagus is well aware of the history of the stone and that Raizel's brother was killed by rai himself due to the usage of this stone since it has the power to drive anyone greedy for more power. Lagus then used this stone and fought rai toe to toe

Though, with the Blood Stone Lagus greatly increases his powers, he is still hopelessly outmatched by the Noblesse in terms of power. he then reveals than he has another trick up his sleeves, by sacrificing his clan members and absorbing their powers, Lagus becomes even more powerful. Lagus shows that he cares very little for the life of his own clan member just for the sake of gaining more power. his daughter Claudia who is finally sick of all the insanity betrays his father and saves their clan members from Lagus. This did not stop Lagus, he then attacks both the werewolves and the other wounded clan leaders to take their powers, although in taking the power and life force of the werewolves, Lagus powers is greatly enhanced by just devouring three werewolves. As Lagus decides that he will devour everyone.

He is stopped by the Noblesse, only this time Lagus is more powerful than before, and for the first time in the entire series of Noblesse, Raizel is overwhelmed in battle and is heavily wounded by Lagus who is now mad for power.

With him proving his might he decides to finishes of Raizel once and for all, only for him to be saved by one his fellow Traitor Clan Leader, Edian

Lagus then reveals that Edian was under his control this entire time and is just using her a s apuppet for his plans. she somehow manage to overcome his control due to her love for Raizel. with Lagus being as evil as ever he decides to grant Edian's of being with Raizel by finishing both of them together. Unfortunately the Noblesse still has more power left, and now completely angry with Lagus Tradio, proceeds to unleash all his might and destroy Lagus once and for all. with his last dying breath instead of repenting like the other traitor clan leaders, Lagus told them that the Nobles would one day become extinct due to them isolating themselves from the rest of the world. 

Though Lagus died, Lukedonia will never be the same again, Rajak is dead, other clan leaders are wounded, Raskeria knows just how weak she is, the Noblesse is weakened once again due to his fight with Lagus. Edian was just used the whole time and died, everyone is heart broken with the deaths and are all damaged by Lagus invasion. an impressive villain overall for me.
