There are a lot of unanswered questions in One Piece that will someday be answered, but for now, fans will go rampant with theories. “The man marked by flames” is one of the most mysterious figures but also puzzling due to the endless possibilities of who this could be. From Flame Emperor Sabo to the newly introduced Loki of Elbaf, there’s no indication of who he is.

However, there is one important hidden figure in One Piece that could fit the description and would tie the story really well. Scopper Gaban, a former Roger Pirate, is the perfect candidate for “the man marked in flames.”

We know Eustass Kid was going after “the man marked by flames” because he was important in finding the titular One Piece and giving them a headstart in the game. This is why...

As the finale of One Piece slowly approaches, several characters are in need of a power upgrade. By the looks of it, Eiichiro Oda is silently planning some characters to take center stage, especially in the face of powerful enemies like Blackbeard, Imu and the whole of the World Government.

One character in particular may have grand things planned in the future. Flame Emperor Sabo has already established his prowess in the series, and through a recent interview with Oda, it seems the character will reach his fullest potential soon.

Diana Baffa-Brill, a dancer and choreographer who assisted the legendary Mame choreographer Onna White and later re-staged scores of productions of that classic musical, died in Los Angeles on Sunday, October 13, following a long illness. She was 81.

Her death was announced by her family.

With television appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show as part of the Bob DeVoy Trio and on The Jackie Gleason Show as a June Taylor Dancer, Baffa-Brill made her Broadway debut at 18 in 1961 (as Diana Baffa) in 13 Daughters, returning to Broadway in Do I Hear a Waltz? and La Grosse Valise (both 1965).

The following year would bring her longest-lasting association, when in 1966 she became both a performer and the dance captain in Broadway’s Mame starring Angela Lansbury, choreographed by White.

Seventeen years later, in 1983, she would return to Broadway with Lansbury in a Mame revival, this time serving to recreate White’s original choreography.

Elden Ring is known for having some of the most bizarre and difficult boss fights. It has many bosses that will force you to retreat to the cavern to train more to have a fair fight. This is quite a normal aspect of the game made by FromSoftware.

However, one boss in Elden Ring’s Dlc expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, was so bizarre and unexpected that it threw all the theories we had about the game out the window. This boss reveals their true identity surprisingly.

One does not simply read this article without having seen the season 2 finale of "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power," for there are full spoilers ahead.

"Rings of Power" is not just a great fantasy series, but it's also a fantastic prequel to "Lord of the Rings." The show fills in the gaps in the vague Second Age of Middle-earth, paving the way for many things audiences know from the Peter Jackson films like the creation of the titular rings of power, sure, but also the creation of the Doors of Durin. Part of why the show works so well is that it avoids explaining silly things no one asked for, like how Han Solo got his gun or where Jack Sparrow got his hat from. Instead, the questions answered here feel like a history lesson that provides context and enriches the stories to come, rather than one that answers mysteries.

Shaquille O’Neal is often referred to as one of the most charismatic personalities in sports and has an undeniable knack for staying relevant in pop culture.

O’Neal has often found himself in the middle of viral sensations, and some involve women who capture social media’s attention such as Ariana Josephine, a.k.a. the Home Depot Girl, and another woman named Maria Ozuna.

Even with all of Amber Johnston and Trent Johnston’s children now adults and well beyond acceptable dating age, Emma Johnston remains single. She has no problem being a wingman when she needs to, but, she doesn’t seem to have anyone romantically in her life at the moment.

While The Lands Between of Elden Ring might be known for its challenging bosses, unique items, and impeccable storyline, nothing comes close to the number of mysteries it brings with itself.

Bearing in mind how there is a never-ending list of questions that remain unanswered in the game, players are quick to come up with theories that might fill some gaps. One such theory was brought to light by this Reddit user, speculating how the Npc Vyke and Morgott might have been companions since the beginning.

The Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village arc has been nominated for Anime of the Year at the 2024 Anime Awards and I couldn't be more excited. Year after year, arc after arc, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba leaves me downright breathless. It deftly melds tragic barbarity with stunning, peerless animation to raise the stakes to unprecedented levels. Nothing about this world feels safe or secure, but the daring of its protagonists offers at least a faint flicker of hope.

Hitman dramedy “Knok,” pandemic-thriller “Lt-21,” and dystopian sendup “Rictus” will head off Have A Good One’s (Hago) Mipcom slate, as the Paris-based TV development and sales company has boarded two additional series currently in production.

Produced by Mifa Pictures (Groupe StoryPlus) and N22 Productions for 13ème Rue France, and created by Guillaume Duhesme, Bastien Ughetto and Lucie Moreau, the off-kilter “Knok” follows a hapless single-dad inducted into the underworld and made an unwilling contract-killer after accidentally witnessing a hit. César-winner Sylvie Testud (“Fear and Trembling”) and up-and-comer Johann Cuny lead the cast for a loopy six-part season that won acclaim at the La Rochelle Fiction Festival earlier this year.

Given the spotlight at the Biarritz Unifrance Rendez-vous last month, eco-thriller “Lt-21” tracks a disquieting pandemic plot about an international virus that forces amnesia on those afflicted. Actors Arnaud Valois (“Bpm”) and Léonie Simaga (“The Eddy”) play a pair doctors...

Some people look for love in all the wrong places, and when Netflix‘s new docuseries Escaping Twin Flames debuts, we’ll explore one of the darkest corners of false promises, deception, and cultism. The three-part series investigates the Twin Flames dating platform, which devotes itself to finding people’s true love. However, what sounds like a cure for loneliness is a deceptive scam with cult-like consequences.

Escaping Twin Flames debuts on Netflix on November 8. The investigative series hails from Cecilia Peck, director of Starz’s Seduced: Inside the Nxivm Cult, and Good Caper Content, the ITV America production company. Peck’s new docuseries revolves around Jeff and Shaleia Divine, the orchestrators of the Twin Flames Universe. The couple sells online classes for lonely hearts looking to connect with their destined partner. Sadly, the Twin Flames Universe is a predatory front for an online community that preys on people hoping to connect with their soulmates.

The Witcher season 3 has finally concluded with an open-ended finale, leaving fans excited for more installments to come. However, in this season, we witnessed some of our beloved characters’ journeys reaching poignant conclusions, including the venerable rectoress of Aretuza and the mother-figure to Yennefer, Tissia De Vries. Tissia’s story began as that of an indomitable sorceress and a resolute teacher, instilling discipline and wisdom among her students. Throughout her life, Tissia wielded immense power and skill, proving herself to be one of the most capable sorceresses in the Brotherhood. Tissia De Vries had the potential to alter the Brotherhood’s destiny, but her emotions and attachments deceived her, leaving her vulnerable and causing her to lose the self-assurance she needed to live. While her initial path as a powerful sorceress and strict instructor seemed promising, her story eventually reached a tragic ending.

It's a shame Netflix produced three seasons of their wildly-popular fantasy series "The Witcher" and simply decided to call it a day. All joking aside, folks, "The Witcher" season 3 will mark Henry Cavill's final time playing Geralt of Rivia, with Liam Hemsworth taking over the role in season 4 (which has already been announced). Will everyone keep tuning in to watch the "Hunger Games" alum bring their cherished grumpy monster-hunting dad to life? Or is "The Witcher" on the verge of seeing a max exodus in terms of viewership?

First things first, there's still season 3 to get through. This installment will find Geralt, his on-again/off-again sorceress girlfriend Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra), and the couple's surrogate daughter/the exiled Cintra princess Cirilla aka Ciri (Freya Allan) on the run from the Nilfgaardian emperor Emhyr var Emreis -- the much-ballyhooed White Flame, whom we now know to be Ciri's biological father and former human hedgehog,...

This article contains spoilers from the Demon Slayer manga.

Now that Demon Slayer has slashed its way through two seasons, the trailer for season 3 is giving us a preview of some pretty sick moves and even sicker demons.

Gotoge Koyoharu’s manga, which was adapted by Ufotable, has already leapt off the page and into fantastic swordfighting action that will only level up as more demons are unleashed. The Swordsmith Village arc that will be featured this season isn’t nearly as tame as it sounds. This village is teeming with demons, and not just any demons, but the dreaded Twelve Kizuki that make up the upper ranks of Kibutsuji’s army. If it is anything like the manga, it will also be the season Inosuke shows more of his actual face than ever.

Season 3 premieres on Crunchyroll April 9. Grab your sword and get ready to face off against some terrifying forces of evil.
