    Go ahead, our pals at Discord worked hard on it, so it would be nice if their work gets more exposure and, if possible, more appreciation

    Sorry for the late welcome @Ral it's good to have you here... Now, I know I've been absent for a while. RL issues got me busy, and Genshin Impact is quite addictive tbh All I wanted to share, for now, is the LuNa fanzine made by the members of the LuNa discord. It was a project that took a while to finish... If you want to download the fanzine, here's the link: https://lunaticfanzine.com/ And here's my contribution to the project: Why LuNa fans love LuNa Enjoy!

    Thanks for letting me know 😄 I'm leaving the little crumbs here.: Still, Rome wasn't built in a day. If I have to write something about this subject, I prefer to wait for the chapter to age a little before posting something more substantial about it It doesn't help, I already wrote a lot about a similar moment we had several chapters ago when Nami was facing Ulti: https://luna-nalu-blogs.blogspot.com/2021/05/nami-analysis-luffy-will-definitely.html The issue is that it's pretty difficult for me to talk about that little scene without repeating what I already said in other places multiple times. E.g. Nami talking back to Kaido being reminiscent of that moment in WCI when Luffy and Nami were fighting Cracker: Nami's faith in Luffy being remarkable enough that Luffy's goal is enough reason for her to believe their victory is certain, that Luffy would not lose The only scene I could bring as something "new" is this... ...but, even then I still need to time for all to sink in...

    Well, given the most recent episode, and the fact I have internet access again, I decided to post something here... The episode is a relatively serviceable adaptation, with the best part being Akemi Okamura's performance. Of course, I'm talking as a manga-only fan who only watches specific scenes in youtube. The manga is still the more impactful despite the lack of flashbacks... I know this is the Spanish release, but the translation here used the same wording as the original version in japanese, as in "Luffy... the Pirate King, it will be him... definitely!" (or "without a doubt!") This is a moment pretty consistent with Nami's character as portrayed so far. The episode recycled some stuff from the "Episode of East Blue," although there is a couple of scenes that showcased why this is such a neat Nami moment. The most obvious is from WCI. When Sanji KOd a weakened Luffy while trash-talking his dream, Nami's response was... Flashforward to Onigashima and Nami finds herself...

    I wanted to share something odd I've been seeing recently... Some shippers from social media are assuming Boa Hancock is based on Oda's wife. Not sure, where that idea comes from? Maybe they hang onto nonsensical comparisons with anime-only filler. Maybe it comes from a random theory I've never heard about I'm not fond of theories, it's better to work with the story as it is right now instead of relying on speculations It surprised me because we already know Oda's wife, Chiaki Inaba, does have a connection with a character in the story, but not in the way shippers would like to believe People who say Hancock is based on Inaba forgot she was a Nami cosplayer. In fact, Oda met Inaba when she played Nami at a Jump Festa; they got married in 2004 Still, we cannot say Nami is based on Oda's wife either. In fact, according to a 2019 interview at Oda's house, it's the other way around, he quotes that a "mangaka often marries to a person who's similar with the heroine" of his manga...

    We're somehow in-sync... Because today I finished a little thing I was working on, about the same subject 😂 Motivated by the a similar reason as the one you mentioned at the beginning: I dislike inter-series comparisons It's true that Nami is as fiery as Chichi, and they're both tend to argue and question the hero of their respective story. That's a point I made too, Chichi is not the subservient and waifu-like character shippers try to sell And being honest, while I heard something along the lines of Naruto "inspiring" all anime, it's the first time I heard about that argument of One Piece being based on Naruto However, I have to point out that Naruto and Luffy are not that similar; from their drive to the nature of their goals, and their core as characters, they're different from one another. I always liked Luffy a lot more As for NaruHina. I focus more on the plot device used in The Last to make the characters relive their moments. Because the foundation for a relationship...

    I find that sibling argument kinda amusing given how Kinemon, who saw Tsuru as his "sister" by his own admission, ended up marrying her. As for "realistic," suddenly falling for a girl he sincerely rejected twice, instead of bonding with someone, it's not "realistic" at all. Even from a writer's perspective, the weight of their moments and shared experiences are the elements what should lead to a relationship upgrade that feels both real and earned Several fans support LuNa because their consistent bonding and solid chemistry having a better shot at earning that relationship upgrade in a more natural way When it comes to Fairy Tail, given it's an off-topic... That was quite an entrance you made there! Nice job!! And Thank you for covering this matter for me while I was out I know they're not confirmed as a couple, but I'd wish more people would acknowledge the similarity between the dynamic of Saboala and the dynamic of LuNa... Now that you mentioned Alvida, it's pretty...

    My turn... 1- When did you start shipping LuNa? I'm not fond of the term "shipping," I prefer to say I strongly support their relationship. I've been a LuNa fan since Arlong Park, the pass of the hat. I didn't know how to word it out at first, but I eventually learned thanks to some remarkable people; the "weight" of this scene is something that couldn't be replicated or compared to anything else in the series. So much that even other shippers try to replicate that moment in their pairings through artwork of their own. It's the meaning of the gesture that got to me. An important element of chemistry is providing you partner with emotional support when needed, as well as having an effect powerful enough to move both sides to action. 2- Is LuNa canon? No. Fans like the term "semi-canon," but I prefer to say "potent pairing." However, their bonding/development/moments have all they need for a natural "relationship upgrade" 3- What do you like the most about LuNa? I admire not...

    Nicely done! #2 that's what a potent relationship looks like I'm a huge NaLu fan too. I prefer to support relationships with actual chemistry. As a hardcore One Piece said once, it's mostly about the "weight" of their moments #4 Skypiea I can see it, Alabaster? Now I feel like I'm missed something As for #5... You can blame Oda's mentor (Nobuhiro Watsuki) for the "possible" influence he had on it. Although Toei kinda dials up Nami's aggressiveness too 😅 #2 that's what potent relationship looks like #4 That's a classic! It's 'chemistry between characters' 101. Try to guess why... #6 This place will double as both a Luffy FC, and a Nami FC, so feel free to write and comment everything you love about the characters 👍 #7 I'll save this one for my answer as soon I get the time to rewrite them #13 You came the right place then 😁 #20 Nice answer!!
