SEMIFINAL ROUND, MATCH 2 OUT OF 2!

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Bug:

Their a bug that falls in love with a human they rescue and becomes human, but even when they don't get to keep their human body, they still get to be with their love. It's a sci-fi fairytale musical.

Little Mermaid meets Starship Troopers musical starring awesome puppets and the most trans coded main character ever. Please. Please vote Bug Starship I love him. Go watch Kick it Up a Notch from Starship. Go watch Status Quo from Starship. You will understand.

He's a bug and he lives in space on a bug planet but he really wants to be a starship ranger which you can only be if you are a human and then one day a spaceship lands on his planet and so he goes to an evil bug called Pincer who then helps him become a human. And Bug falls in love with a human on the spaceship and it's very sweet. The musical and storyline are based on the little mermaid story, the creators themselves called it "the little mermaid but in space". Bug wanting to be a human/a starship ranger and achieving that and falling in love with a human is very much like the little mermaid

Starship is a musical that can only be described as The Little Mermaid meets Starship Troopers. It follows Bug, an alien bug who dreams of being a Starship Ranger, a galactic explorer/soldier, but the rigid confines of bug society keeps him trapped in a job he hates. He reaches a Starship Ranger named February from the hive and immediately falls in love with her. In order to be with her and pursue his dream, he makes a deal with a giant scorpion named Pincer who through sci-fi bs gives him a human body. Near the end of the second act he sacrifices his human body and returns to his bug body, and saves the day and wins February's heart. It's truly the ultimate Little Mermaid. He has multiple songs, and his bug body is portrayed by a puppet!! Vote for Bug!!

“It's a big, big, universe So many dimensions And unanswered questions Not to mention Life What an invention Life There's no choice involved in what you are given One mind, one voice, one body to live in It's a short, small thing we lead With so much potential Pointless or essential Which one can I be? Where do I fit? Where do I stand? Who are they to say what I am? And how can I stay inside this awful world I know? I need a way out I need an escape I'd rather be dead than to live in this place I wish that something or someone could just take it all away Someone take me away” dear god….. can anybody hear me…. (song from starship)

They are the purest little mermaid adaptation done in the most unuque way. An alien insect gets turned into a human, a race he has always loved and admired, to be with the woman he fell in love with. Also just a great musical.

Bug's whole arc is so so in tune with that of the little mermaid. He is an alien who has fallen in love with humanity through a crashed spaceship and trades his place in the hive for a chance to be with both with the human he's falling for and to be a Starship Ranger. He body swaps with human in a cryogenic pod! It's literally sci-fi Little Mermaid!

Original Fairytale:

The OG, she suffered so much more than Ariel in the Disney version, and gave up her love for Christianity. When she's turned into a human her feet are in agony with every step, but she dances anyway to enchant the Prince. The Prince marries a princess who found him after the Little Mermaid rescued him. The Little Mermaid is distraught at the prince marrying another, so her sisters give her a dagger from the Sea Witch that will turn her back into a mermaid if she kills him. She refuses to kill him, and then she turns into sea foam and dies, but because she was a good person she becomes a spirit of the air and does good deeds for 300 years until she dies again, gains a soul, and goes to Heaven.

a few One Piece episode 1101 thoughts

spoilers ahoy!

once again: animation <3 <3. I bet the animators have fun with Gear 5. Also the addition of sound really adds a lot.

talking about the Seraphim and green blood reminds me why I liked this arc when it started in the manga; there's my good narrative questionable science

ROUND 7: POLL #2 - Finals! (Third Place Poll)

ROUND 7 POLLS [HERE]

PROPAGANDA BELOW

Eustass Kid/Killer:

Propaganda by @chronoirrai [HERE]

Friends/lovers since childhood, would kill and die for each other. [SPOILERS for those who have not watched/read the Wano arc yet] Killer ate a defective SMILE fruit to safe Kid, making him unable to swim and show any other emotion than laughing (and gains him nothing), and he also knew exactly where to cut off Hawkins' arm so he wouldn't harm Kid (because he knows his body so well). Kid promises to kill whoever makes fun of his partner, and lets himself be recaptured after escaping prison because Killer had gotten himself captured.

If this ain't love idk what is.

The captain/right-hand man dynamic. They call each other aibou (partner). If your partner doesn't tell you that he will send whoever laughs at you to hell then he is not worth it. Killer hates his own laugh to the point that he stopped laughing out loud and started wearing a mask. But then he was forced to eat a defective devil fruit (because they promised he could see Kidd if he did) so he's been cursed to only laugh no matter what emotion he's trying to express. That's why Kidd said that, it's so full of weight for someone like Killer. And when Kidd was imprisoned and he worked so hard to escape, but as soon as he saw Killer being pulled into the same prison he just broke out from mans did not hesitate for even a second to go right back in.

I'm sorry, their designs are so silly, I can't. I love that in a scene between two of the strongest people in the world, one has little paw prints on his shirt and a bucket hat with bear ears, and the other is a goth shallot

One Piece episode 1100

ahoy! spoiler thoughts below

First: the animation <3 <3 <3

I still feel the way the activation of Gear 5 in animation is a little...extreme. It's so over the top and gives the impression (to me) that it's very ~electrical~ and striking. While in the manga, it just...happens. It feels quiet. But since the way Lucci activating his awakened form was animated with the same intensity, I'm starting to accept it's just the way awakening is animated.

Second: Watching Vegapunk's explanation about devil fruits got me thinking about what if he's right, or somewhat right. At the time, when I read it, I was less sure that Vegapunk's theory was correct. To be fair, I'm still not entirely convinced that his theory that devil fruits are just alternate futures is the answer. I think there's probably a connection between time and devil fruits; that is, the possibility of becoming this or that, does factor into how devil fruits work. (Heck there *is* a devil fruit's that's entire function is essentially alternate timeline potential.)

But what watching this got me thinking was what if it's more correct than I thought. That would beg the question of where devil fruits came from and/or who or what grew them. (I'm still holding out on the one piece or whatever's one Laugh Tale having to do with a tree or something that grows.)

The reason I started considering if it was more correct than I assumed was because of how Vegapunk talked about it. What he was saying was very similar to that quote from Roger that first showed up when Dragon was introduced. The idea that certain things are inevitable and as long as such-and-such is there, so-and-so will not die.

I think that's it. You can tell (or it seems like it) that the animators have fun with Gear 5.

ADDITION: just remembered: seeing the animation for the next recap episode really made me notice how different the current arc is being animated.
