Oh, Sanji, what are you doing? What are you doing? You were supposed to be the chivalric white knight that respects women and protects them from the worse types! Your lechery and amorousness were meant to be endearingly lighthearted and with some limits to them, not genuinely threatening! No good. This one trait's been gradually dominating his character, and in this volume - in his battle with Absalom - it tips over into becoming old news... yet even from here it continues on and on and still shows no signs of the author growing tired of it.
Good thing the rest of the volume's got no complaints. The last two ones were largely spent on figuring out what was going on with this place, running away from fights, getting spooked, and getting beaten... but now we know exactly what's about and what's at stake, and the counterattack begins. A great charge right at the start as the heroes get serious. Luffy has his first encounter with the Warlord villain... who, instead of beating the shit out of him and leaving him for dead like the last guy, just runs away. What a craven lazy git. Yet he still manages to be pretty threatening when he tries to.
At the opposite end, Zoro has a great fight, and Usopp gets one of his best moments period. Usopp could use more highlight in the post-timeskip, to be honest. Chopper finds himself at the center of surprisingly strongly-tugged heartstrings, a great speech about the value of life and what a great scumbag Hogback is. Franky doesn't get to fight, but he does get a great gag, so it's all good.
And then there's Oars. Right there on the cover, ending the volume about to kick the whole crew's collective asses. A real cliffhanger.
The arc continues solid, if not great.

One Piece, Vol. 48 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next eleven chapters (460–470) of the on-going manga series.
This tankōbon continues the Thriller Bark Arc. Just when the Straw Hats start looking for Geckō Moria they run into Oars, the gigantic zombie who has been given Luffy's shadow. Before they deal with him, the crew splits up to get rid of the leaders of Moria's army.
Sanji saves Nami from one of them, Usopp defeats another, and Nico Robin and Chopper take care of the third. Roronoa Zoro, meanwhile, fights the zombie that houses Brook's shadow, and when it is defeated Brook is restored to his former self. Their immediate objectives completed, the crew turns their attention to Oars.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Eiichirō Oda. For the most part it is written and constructed rather well. It is mainly a battle tankōbon where the Straw Hat Pirates are battling to get the shadows of Brook, Sanji, Roronoa Zoro, and Monkey D. Luffy so they won't be used by zombies and rescue Nami, who had disappeared. Everything was done, except getting Luffy's shadow back, which happens to be held by the biggest zombie of them all – Oars.
All in all, One Piece, Vol. 48 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

Este volumen lo termine ayer pero se me olvidó actualizar jeje
Continúan las batallas en el contraataque pero la cosa se ve negra. Usopp le ganó a Persona, el mejor mentiroso ganó 🤭 bueno que era el único que podía ganarle jajaj
Zoro también ganó y ya tiene espada nueva y Brook recupero su sombra.
Y Sanji le ganó al hombre invisible y tiene a Nami.
Sin embargo, cuando todo pintaba tan bien Oars u Oz (no se deciden bien con la traducción del nombre, me acuerdo que se llamaba Oars pero ya no se jaja) aparece en escena, ya bajo el mando de Moria con órdenes de acabar con los muwis. Aprovechando este momento, se vuelven a llevar a Nami, que está inconsciente por una pastilla para dormir.
Sanji está en problemas, ya que es el más cercano al gigante que tiene la sombra de Luffy aunque los demás tampoco es que están muy bien.
Mientras tanto Luffy está tras Moria, que tiene a su sombra peleando por él.
Ah y se me olvidaba Chopper, que previo a este había derrotado también al doctor.

This volume was fun, focusing on Luffy and co as they are still fighting zombie son thriller bark and we learn of the origins of different characters, Usopp is fighting Perona meanwhile Chopper is fighting Hogback and his zombies and like there is this great moment where he gives a speech and is able to sort of convince the zombies! Then Zoro vs Brook's shadow and the battle is epic and so well done! Meanwhile Oz has completely submitted to Moria and is after strawhats, what will their fate be? Its an interesting story and continues character progression and build sup on different mysteries. I loved this volume!

I like how the fights aren't stretched uselessly. Plus some of them are very cool. Like the one against Perona. While the others show how much our characters has progressed in the lasr few arcs.

This arc, apart from some highlights in between, is a big miss for me... Doesn't quite feel as urgent as the rest... More like a little break or sth.

3.5. Usopp fight 10/10
August 10, 2024
it has some good moments (zoro vs. the samurai, usopp vs. perona, and chopper just being the absolute best) but i fear thriller bark is not for me. after water seven and enies lobby this just feels... meh. and the way women (nami, robin and cindry) are being treated throughout this arc makes me uncomfortable

SO FUN SORRY! (also i’m ignoring sanjis reason because there must be another reason he wanted the fruit … right??) ANYWAYS. USOPP V PERONA. AMAZING. LOVED IT. CHOPPER AND HOGBACK. UGH AMAZING LOVE MY BOY CHOPPER. ZORO AND RYUMA??? straight HEAT. i love their little 1 v 1 it’s so fun to see omg and idk man thriller bark is A WONDERFUL TIME

Particularmente he disfrutado muchísimo de las peleas de Zoro y Ussuff. Sobre todo este último. La verdad es que poco a poco va cayéndome mejor y arcos como este consiguen que me reconcilie más con él (así sí, Eichiro, y no la mierda que hiciste con Sanji en el anterior). Creo que esta vez ha escogido una villana que da muchísimo juego para él, la resolución ha sido divertida y el combate tenso.
En fin, ahora el cliffhanger de Oz!

THRILLER BARK ARC - PART 3
1. usopp not being affected by the ghosts is brilliant because that's true - he is a little negative missy. once again, what a funny and clever little way to circumvent the problem, mr. oda. and him winning against the girl - LOOOL. the battle of negativity and lying, clearly usopp's gonna win.
2. zoro's new sword!!! i love it, it looks insanely cool

The fight with Oars was pretty awesome. It's no Enies Lobby content, but it's still cool.

Peak Piece continues, Chopper continues to be a good good boy, Usopp has 4000IQ, Sanji is a smooth brained rat bastard.

Seeing Usopp get his moment was awesome! He proved he is a brave warrior of the sea! (Even if he is a depressed one at that)
Oars is taking taking out the crew one by one…

Que bien me lo estoy pasando leyendo esta saga, con cada tomo disfruto más y más. En este en concreto creo que no ha habido nada que me haya desagradado, me ha gustado incluso más que el anterior, que me encanto. Esta plagado de acción y humor, y la trama va muy rápido, que creo que es algo que al manga le sienta bien y es comprensible, ya que las sagas anteriores (Alabastra, Skypeia, Water Seven, Ennies Lobby) eran bastante lentas y duraban muchos tomos, y se avecinan otras similares en estos sentidos.
En este volumen nuestros chicos siguen pululando por Thriller Bank en busca de las sombras de Luffy, Zoro y Sanji; de Nami, que sigue en manos de Absalom; de Brook, que va en busca del samurai que tiene su sombra para recuperarla; y de Gecko Moira, al que es necesario vencer para poder recuperar las sombras de todo el mundo retenido en el barco y acabar con los zombies. Como es obvio, el camino no será fácil y las batallas se sucederán.
No hay ninguna de las que hemos visto que me haya desagradado o aburrido, todas han tenido mucha tensión y buen ritmo. La de Zoro vs el Ryuuma ha sido muy del estilo de Zoro, todo muy épico, con el añadido de que Brook recupera su sombra y Zoro gana una espada. La de Sanji vs Absalom ha estado plagada de buenos momentos y muchas risas, estos dos son tan parecidos que era inevitable que fuera divertido verles, los dos tan flipados con Nami vestida de blanco y su belleza (esperemos que no tarde en despertar) y con espiar mujeres (a todo esto, Nami y Robin casi van a tener que agradecerle a Absalom que consumiera la Akuma No Mi de la invisibilidad. No quiero saber que sería de ellas con Sanji como su usuario, básicamente porque es obvio que Absalom va a ser derrotado en esta saga).La batalla entre Moira y Luyyf tiene visos de continuar en el siguiente tomo, y espero que sea de las buenas. Me encanta Oz, por cierto.
Pero si tengo que quedarme con un duelo es con el Perona vs Ussop. Como persona negativa no puedo estar más orgullosa de Ussop, en serio. Que use eso para ganar hace que todos los negativos del mundo tengamos esperanzas en llegar a algo xd. Siendo serios, le he amado en esta lucha, sobre todo el momento Sogeking, que me ha dado la vida. Por eso y porque con su creatividad haya podido vencer a una rival tan fuerte y dificil como Perona, que me encanta, tanto por su diseño (es tan mona y tan Monster High...) como esos momentos en los que le da pena Ussop y se pone a animarlo. Soy muy fan, de veras.
Pd: también fan máxima de que cuando necesitaban un puente, Franky se lo construya en cinco minutos y encima se lamente de que no le dejen pulir los detalles. Que figura.
