      I’ll never understand why Toei just up and stopped adapting cover stories. Like sure sometimes they’ll pay homage to something like “Wapol’s Omnivorous Hurrah!”, but they haven’t thoroughly adapted one since “Koby and Helmeppo’s Chronicle of Toil”. I mean I guess they adapted the “Straw Hat Seperation Serial”, but that barely counts cause a lot of that bled into the main chapters.

      I did the math and if they adapted all the cover stories they never did, it’d probably take about 22 episodes. The thing that sucks though is that a lot of them have lost their luster. What makes these cover stories great is their foreshadowing. Some admiral trains Koby and Helmeppo and BOOM! they show up in Post-Enies Lobby and that Vice Admiral was Luffy’s grandpa. Jango and Fullbody become best pals? BOOM! they show up in Alabasta, they work for Hina now. Hatchan meets a mermaid? BOOM! They show up in Sabaody. Nobody’s gonna care about Miss Goldenweek’s Operation: “Meet Baroque Works” now because we already know who ends up at Impel Down and who escapes.

     But still, I mean you could do Eneru at the moon, Gang Bege’s “Oh My Family”, any of that stuff. I mean come on, it’s canon!!

     An okama of Kamabakka Kingdom, Tibany found Sanji when he was first transported there. She chased after him until eventually turning him into an okama temporarily. In the colored manga, she has a completely different color scheme, but only after the timeskip. It’s unknown if this was a mistake. In the Straw Hat Seperation Serial, the anime gives her the name Elizabeth as well, which contradicts the name given to her in One Piece: Blue Deep.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TIBANY!!!

One Pace Statistics

So I wanted to know a few things about One Pace. For one, how much time do you save from switching to One Pace? Furthermore, which arcs needed it the most. How much faster is One Pace actually? So I ended up figuring out the episode lengths, pace, and run times of all of them and put it together. I did not gather data about arcs that have not been started or completed, as I feel like data regarding it can fluctuate until it’s complete. I will, however, update these statistics whenever they finish a new arc. The amount of time saved skipping filler was measured, but not the amound of time saved skipping Movies, Specials, and OVAs. I didn’t do this because, for one, there are too many to count. But also they are not part of the main series, and therefore are considered optional from the very beginning.
