You forget who you are responding to.
I actually think DTL is being completely legitimate.

You can't troll for as long as DTL has, if he is indeed trolling. It's just not possible, coming from someone who used to troll around forums in the past.

You eventually get burnt out, so I'm not so convinced that DTL is a troll.
 
But he always manages to catch so many more.

The worst part is that it's not even funny. At least watching Beam cry about Bleach persecution is hilarious.

I used to get angry about DTL and the people who responded to his posts. Now I'm just leaning back and enjoying whatever happens. Most of the times it's harmless.

Hey guys, look, we have a former pro-troll in here.

Cirque Arachne vol 1 End

I know that this is only one volume long so the romance plot has to progress faster than usual, but I found this response to a confession so refreshing after going through Good Ending.

I still can't place the reason why the art looks so familar, especially everytime Lotte is shown. She really looks similar to some other manga protagonist, but I don't know who.

Or DTL knows what persona he has established on these forums and knows exactly when to (and not to) play into it to trap fools.

Or perhaps he started out trolling but began to legitimately believe in what he's saying.

You can't just call everyone with a misinformed opinion a troll.

It's very possible if you don't do it all the time vs waiting for "good times" to troll (like big manga release days).

Such a "heartwarming" reunion.

Yeah, Lotte reminds me of someone but I can't quite put a name to it. Weird.

This isn't his first gimmick. Remember when "lol" was every other word in each of his posts?
 
I think youre all trying to read too much into my posts or something, I just simply read, post my opinion and go on with my day. It isnt a secret that I dont view one piece on the same level as others, I mean I even only own its colorbooks and ace figures/anime unlike all my other series and I dont even participate or even contribute in the deep discussions on it, to claim Im trolling or utilizing some gimmick is a bit baffling, and for that matter I dont even put fairytail as the best or premier series...

I forgot the name, but once on a previous manga OT in GAF there's someone claiming to be his friend/know DTL in real life and he said that basically DTL was just trolling and having fun with his assumed persona in forums.

Well, it's been a long while though so I don't know, maybe in between that time and now he already 'repented'? *Shrugs*

At the very least he's mostly harmless and sometimes post normal, non-eyebrows-twitching-inducing posts.

Anyways, apparently I am not paying attention: Food Smut?

I believe that was in the time period when he ended every sentence with lol.
 
Alright given these Aunt Tits reactions, if he fucks up with this , then is the dream dead?.

I thought the dream was for him to do the Aunt? He could mess up with her and every other girl as long as he still nails her at the end.

Aunt's Tits 71

Even the sister wants to her to have her breast fondled by Minamoto who she hasn't even met yet, I like where this is going.

Again!! 30

Smart plan by Imamura trying to reunite the two clubs techniques. That's probably one of the few ways they can take on the other school, but somehow I think they will fuck it up. Don't think Usami will get along that well with the other girl.

The cheering stuff is all fun and fine, but I wish the manga just focuses more on the romance/Akira parts and lets the cheering club stuff stay in the background.

The faces at the last were hilarious.
 
Do you even realize the amount of shonen that exist that were made before Fairy Tail that have tournament arcs?

Tournament arcs are so old that they have outside sources than the manga medium itself. It's just an old, tired cliche. And we don't even really know if we're heading into one yet.

If I had to guess, though, the tournament arc of One Piece is going to be more like how Toriko is right now. The recent Toriko arc started out as a tournament arc, then shit hit the fan and became absolutely nuts. One Piece will probably end up being more like that.

Except the fact that every major player is up in Toriko while in one piece...

We don't really know that for sure though. All I recall is that he said DTL was a weird ass motherfucker, which you can already assume from this thread alone.

What do you even mean? We don't know who's going to be at this tournament.

One Piece

People really need to calm down about this supposed tournament arc. The last time One Piece had a "tournament arc" was Skypeia and that derailed pretty damn quickly. Even if it starts out with a tournament doesn't mean it isn't going to get derailed before the end. Especially since the tournament so far only has 5 of the 13+ potential enemies. Add in Fujitora, the fairies and the missing samurai, and there is no way this is going to be a tournament arc (even if Luffy wants it to be).

Speaking of which, I wonder if the number of enemies will end up staying/being 13 due to the playing card motif...
 
Soul eater

Black star should have been the main character, so awesome.
No. Soul Eater having a strong female protagonist is what makes it more interesting. I don´t want another Naruto arch type character to be a main character. Black Star is much better than Naruto though.
What do you even mean? We don't know who's going to be at this tournament.

We know the yonkou, the rest of the shishibukai, the admirals or at least 2 of them if the blind guy is an admiral won´t be there. All the Vice admirals won´t be there. Most the heavy weight won´t be there. In Toriko all the heavy weights are up except Midora and division zero.

You got all major cooks like Setsuna, etc.... So it´s not really comparable with one peice since like 90% of the major players are not in play.

Umm no we don't. There's no indication of who or who won't be there.

It won't even matter who's there anyway.

Nobunaga no Chef 6

lol Turtle Ken is too funny looking.

kurita, do these wars take a significant portion of screentime in the drama? I hope they don't cause I'm sure as hell not reading this manga for the battles.

So Toriko is having its Marineford arc then :p

I'm not sure I'd really call Enel/eru's "Survival Game" a tournament arc in any sense of the term.
 
Naruto 624

This was bad. Skipping forward only to see more of Hashirama x Madara sucked, we aleady have enough Naruto x Sasuke, don't need an inferior copy this late in the manga. Also I'm sure glad Kishi just glossed over that battle with Madara revealing his new hax eyes against the Senju brothers, its not like that battle would have been awesome to see or anything.

One Piece 702

OP wasn't much better either. Probably would have helped if they had shown Law interacting more with the SH crew besides setting up for the tournament.

Deadman Wonderland 53

Well, Shiro's back into the picture so everybody is essentially screwed. At least the bad guy and traitor girl are seemingly dead for real this time. Mother putting a bullet through her head is a cop out, she better be revealed to have misfired the gun later and not have gone through with it.

Deadman Wonderland 53

I don't really remember this dude they were fighting or the significant of the flashback shown, but at the very least it looks like there is only the Wretched Egg left so this shouldn't take long to finish I think. I also love her new badass design
 
Yamada and the 7 Witches 29 - 35

The witches get more and more uninteresting as their introduced. Telepathy power is quite limited and the premonition seems to require too much, both abilities I would not want to have. I cant really see either character being in the cast long or contributing as much as the main four + ushio/origiri have done. For some reason, part of me really likes this manga alot, maybe the character designs or just the concept, but its kind of been addicting to read. Do like Yamada wanting to help everyone, the mystery behind all the powers, and just the odd situations. I do hope we get a male witch other than yamada.

Beach/clubhouse arc best arc so far.
 
I actually wouldn't mind a standard shounen tournament arc if it managed to be as good as the Yu Yu Hakusho one, but I am sure we'll get the usual One Piece twist with this.

One Piece

So I counted up the current potential enemies in this arc (so far) and got to these 13:

Doflamingo
Diamante
Snot goop Clover guy
Knight looking Spade Guy
Baby 5
Buffalo
Senor Pink
Dellinger
Lao G
Machvise
Old Lady who's always playing cards with Lao G
Little Girl who eats candy
Clockwork/gear Gun guy​


Obviously they aren't all going to get fights (Baby 5 & Buffalo are probably done, and the little girl might have an importance outside of fighting if at all). But that's still a decently high number compared to the last few arcs. Perhaps more of the Strawhats will get fights this time (or perhaps Luffy will just steal-kill them all again).

Arisu is totally Rise.

Now she and Minori just need to form the supertrio with Okabe and go international.

Also just the mention of Yoshinaga is getting annoying. Can she get hit by a truck already?

Happy Marriage!? vol 3

So in Good Ending we have whinny high schoolers who are afraid of confessing to each and in this manga we have a married couple where one side is afraid of doing it, or kissing for that matters. Funny how even marriage can't stop contrived reasons from advancing the romance plotline. I mean progress is being made, but it's so slow. In this volume, Chiwa finally started having real conversations with Hokuto during breakfast. So that's some progress I guess.

There was a lot of backstory and focus on Hokuto's family, but it all fell flat and felt forced. "oh let me take you to my mother's grave, that will show you how sentimental and cool I am" lol. And then there was the bad rich smug family business during their annual dinner. I really wish the manga would just forget all about Hokuto's side of the story and keep focusing on Chiwa cause she is clearly the only interesting character in the story so far.
