According to One Piece chapter 1151, the ongoing events of Elbaph have presented a difficult situation in front of the Straw Hat Pirates, especially their captain, Monkey D. Luffy. The One Piece protagonist not only has to deal with the current antagonists of the series, but he also has to save Elbaph from its downfall.

The sad thing here is that the destruction of Elbaph is being caused by its own people, who are being turned into demons by Imu, the Supreme Leader of the World Government. However, the problem is that Luffy will turn them back in his favor using the worst trope in Shonen’s history.

It is the Chosen One Trope. This trope has been quite common within the anime community, but nobody does it better than Luffy.

Justin Sun, a Chinese crypto billionaire who went viral for spending $6.24 million on a banana duct-taped to a wall, has now been revealed to be one of the biggest investors in President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency project.

Trump held a black-tie gala on May 22 at one of his private golf clubs in Virginia for his largest crypto investors. Notable guests included NBA star Lamar Odom, social media influencer Nicholas Pinto, Clinton Bembry, Charles Ayres and Mathew Lie. The event was dubbed the most exclusive in the crypto space, with only the highest investors receiving invitations.

Sun documented the night on his X account, with one photo of himself in front of the Stars and Stripes with his fist raised and a caption saying one of Trump’s catchphrases: “Fight! Fight! Fight!”

Sun also posted about being “awarded” a Trump Golden Tourbillon watch, retail price $100,000, by the president as one of...

Get ready to confront a cult in the trailer for So Fades the Light, a haunting exploration of religious trauma.

Praised by Bird Box author Josh Malerman for its “a chilling, full circle showdown,” the indie film hits Digital on June 24 from Gravitas Ventures

As a girl, Sun was a God Child worshiped by a cult of violent religious extremists. Her life in the cult ended as police stormed their compound and exchanged fire with the gun-toting flock of men, women, and children. Many faced a bloody end while their Reverend leader was whisked off to prison.

15 years later, Sun is now living like a drifter, disconnected from the world in her ramshackle van, her only constant. In an attempt to confront the trauma of her youth, she decides to travel back to the compound where it all happened. What Sun doesn’t know is that the Reverend is freshly out of prison,...

As strange as this sounds, cults are all the rage. Not joining them necessarily, but learning about them has become a cultural obsession. Just browse any streaming service’s documentary section and you’ll see countless films examining a cult’s destructive influence. But, it’s also a focus in the horror genre. Filmmaking collective Get Super Rad is crafting their own hellish cult in their new film, So Fades The Light, coming soon to VOD.

In the new film:

Sun was worshiped when they were a child by a cult of violent religious Extremists, the Iron and Fire Ministry (based on a few real-life cults). Men, women, and children all holding Ar-15s and wearing bullet crowns faced off against the police, led by The Reverend, with many of the congregation facing a bloody end.

The story picks up 15 years in the aftermath, where Sun is living like a drifter,...

Quick LinksWhy ABC Would Be Doomed to Fail If They Tried to Reboot LostInstead of a Reboot, the Time Is Right for a Sequel to LostThe Original Cast Could Easily Be Involved Without Undermining the FinaleDamon Lindelof Could Adopt the J.J. Abrams Role In a Lost Reboot

Lost was a series no one believed in, not even co-creators Lindelof and J.J. Abrams. The show was too weird, too serialized and too expensive to ever work on network television. Except, the series was a massive hit for ABC and redefined what broadcast television could do. In fact, it was one of the first shows where the producers actively campaigned for an end date, so they could finish the story.

Much to fans' consternation, not every mystery, story thread or character got a succinct resolution. Two decades after its debut, a Lostsequel series might not be such a bad idea. The...

Hinokizu is one of the most mysterious figures in One Piece. He’s more commonly referred to as the Man Marked by Flames in the series, with very few mentions. From what we know, he is rumored to possess the Road Poneglyph which was originally on Fish-Man Island.

The Kid Pirates are actively looking for him, while the Blackbeard Pirates inquired Aokiji about his identity. According to Laffitte and Shiryu, the man sails an all-black ship and anyone who approaches will be swallowed by a whirlpool. Now who in One Piece fits this description?

As your adventures continue in Path of Exile 2, you may accidentally start the "Ancient Vows" quest, which can be tricky to complete after finding it. Offering only vague instructions, this quest asks you to discover a way to use one of two Relics you can find in different locations. Those who discover how these Relics work can apply a permanent buff to their character, making their build stronger.

You start the "Ancient Vows" quest automatically by collecting the Kabala Clan Relic or Sun Clan Relic during your travels. These Relics are linked together, so your first goal after finding one is to track down the other half of this artifact collection. Once you have both, you can unlock a new passive skill in Path of Exile 2 that can be applied to your character forever.

Though it may seem like “The Masked Singer” only just began in the U.S. yesterday, the singing competition show has aired for 12 seasons. The show just crowned its Season 12 victor.

But, there have already been some pretty huge names that have taken home the golden mask on this show.

So, as fans bask in the glory of our newest champion, let’s take a look back at all the past winners.

T-Pain was the first person to win “The Masked Singer” in the U.S. He competed in the show’s inaugural season as Monster.

Kandi Burruss was the first woman to win “The Masked Singer” in the U.S. The Xscape singer turned “Real Housewives” star...

The Masked Singer has featured some of the most iconic singers, including season 12's most recent winners Boyz II Men (Buffalos) and runner-up Mario (Wasp), but I wish the show would have a whole season of non-professional singers. The Masked Singer premiered in January 2019, with host Nick Cannon and panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Nicole Scherzinger. During season 11, Rita Ora took Nicole's place on the panel while the latter star was busy with other commitments.

The Masked Singer has had twelve winners so far--T-Pain (Monster), Wayne Brady (Fox), Kandi Burruss (Night Angel), LeAnn Rimes (Sun), Nick Lachey (Piglet), Jewel (Queen of Hearts), Teyana Taylor (Firefly), Amber Riley (Harp), Bishop Briggs (Medusa), Ne-Yo (Cow), Vanessa Hudgens (Goldfish), and Boyz II Men (Buffalos)--and all of them are professional singers in some capacity. However, the show has featured many fantastic singers who aren't from the music industry, and...

Warning! This article contains Spoilers for From's season 3 finale!Harold Perrineau’s acclaimed horror show From is officially returning for season 4, which can fulfill a long-awaited wish for the actor’s new projects in the time since Lost came to an end. When Lost finally ended after six seasons in 2010, there was plenty of anticipation to see what the main cast would be doing next after starring in one of the most popular primetime sci-fi mystery shows of all time. Not to mention, whether those actors would be seen together again on the small screen in different projects.

After starring as Michael Dawson in Lost, Harold Perrineau is back in the spotlight as he leads the cast of From, the hit MGM+ horror mystery show also executive produced by Lost director Jack Bender and writer Jeff Pinkner. Not only does From share cast and crew members from Lost, but the...

When Game Science released Black Myth: Wukong, players were treated to a stunningly twisted interpretation of the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. With its breathtaking visuals and ambiguous yet compelling storytelling, the game quickly became a masterpiece in its own right. But what if there was a way to experience this epic tale in an entirely new light?

While many players have already completed their journey as The Destined One, there’s a simple yet transformative option in the settings menu that could make your second playthrough feel like an entirely different game. And no, we’re not just talking about New Game+ here.

For those brave enough to venture beyond their comfort zone, this small change could revolutionize how you experience the story of Sun Wukong. But be warned: this enhancement comes with its own unique set of challenges.

Quick Links The Inspiration for Lost's Jacob and the Man In Black Offers a Clue Jacob Chose Both Jin-Soo and Sun-Hwa Kwon, But He Had a Favorite Sun's Choices May Have Disqualified Her, Which Is Why She Didn't Time-Travel How the Death of Jin and Sun Shows She Was No Longer a Candidate

Much to the consternation of viewers, the Lost series didn't wrap up all its mysteries in a neat little bow. This was ultimately a good creative decision, because 20 years after the series debuted, fans still pore over the series to find the answers. One frustrating mystery left open on Lost is whether Jin-Soo or Sun-Hwa was the "Kwon" candidate to protect the island. Yet, the answer may actually be obvious and remarkably clever.

In the final season of Lost, Hurley's numbers were revealed to correspond with the surviving "candidates" to replace island demigod Jacob.

The landscape of television has changed drastically in the 20 years since Lost debuted on ABC, especially when it comes to "genre" storytelling. One sign the series co-created by J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof was going to be something unique was the way it embraced elements of science fiction and fantasy. It makes sense that notable writers from the world of comic books joined the writers' room. One such scribe was Brian K. Vaughn. Along with him, comics legends Paul Dini and Jeph Loeb also wrote for the series. However, Brian K. Vaughn arrived after they left and was the only one to stay on for more than a single season.

Vaughn started as a story editor in Season 3, was a co-producer for Season 4 and a producer for Season 5. Before work on the final season began, Vaughn left Lost with cryptic statements offered as the reason why. Eventually, it became clear...

The following contains a brief discussion of self-harm.

When thinking of Lost and the show's place in pop culture, its paranormal mysteries first come to mind. However, when the show debuted 20 years ago, viewers' biggest questions centered on the characters themselves. The castaways' history and relationships were the central focus. The most important couple on Lost were Jin-Soo and Sun-Hwa Kwon, and they deserved a much better ending.

While casting for the series, co-creators J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof created Sun specifically for actor Yunjin Kim after she auditioned to play Kate. Since Oceanic Flight 815 was an international flight,...

In the world of anime, Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is considered to be the greatest Shonen title ever. The series narrates the gripping tale of Monkey D. Luffy and his fearless crewmates, who have set sail on the quest to become the freest people in the world. To establish this notion, the mangaka has always showcased the Straw Hat and Roronoa Zoro to be two unyielding individuals who would not let any tyrant dictate their way on the weak.

However, the show’s fans will be taken aback when they learn that despite being showcased as the most valiant figures, they still have their fears. It might sound appalling because they have not only fought some of the strongest names in the series, including the Gorosei. However, once learning about their fears, it would make sense because they can never overcome them.

The talk of the One Piece community at the moment is the Prince of Elbaf, Loki, and his mysterious and overpowered Devil Fruit. While there is still so much left unanswered, Loki himself claims he’s the Sun God, the real one unlike Road, and it begs the question of why the giant said this after Luffy’s big moment in Wano. Is Luffy’s Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika not the real one or is there some deception at play here against the Prince? Knowing Loki’s power and bounty, he’s not joking about it. So, who is the real Sun God?

Was Squid Game written ages before it hit Netflix? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Squid Game didn’t just spring into existence like a pop-up ad; it’s a wild saga that took over a decade to unfold! This mind-bending thriller, where desperate folks wager their lives in twisted children’s games for a shot at a hefty cash prize, took the world by storm. But before it was a Netflix sensation, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk struggled to make it happen.

Picture this: it’s 2008, and Hwang Dong-hyuk’s wandering comic book stores, dreaming big. “The year 2008 was right after my debut. That was a time when I frequented comic book stores… I thought about creating something like a comic book story in Korea.” By 2009, he wrapped up the script, but instead of rolling cameras, he hit a brick wall. Oof! Industry insiders deemed...

This article contains spoilers for the TV show Lost.

Twenty years ago, Lost made its television debut and quickly became a pop culture phenomenon that had viewers and loyal fans talking week after week. The show opens with the aftermath of a plane crash as the remaining survivors try to rescue one another and come to terms with their new situation. From there, Lost would get crazier and more exciting as the many mysteries and characters persuaded people to tune in to every episode.

While its finale may have been divisive, the response still doesn't ruin the fact that Lost has aged well and remains a high-quality show, even in the current streaming era. There have been many big-budget event series that have succeeded Lost. But, when Lost was airing, it was unlike anything viewers had seen before. Between the insane reveals, the brilliant ensemble cast, and the cinematic moments,...

From thrilling action scenes to compelling characters, Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece has earned a notable status in the community by influencing millions of viewers worldwide. Ever since its debut in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997, One Piece has produced over 1100 chapters and 100 volumes.

Oda-sensei has been enthralling fans for over 25 years, highlighting his ability to address complex themes and issues within the framework of a shonen manga. By airing for decades, One Piece has influenced many new viewers, leaving them awe-struck by Oda’s splendid narrative and viewing his work as a masterpiece.

It is undeniable that Black Myth: Wukong draws heavily on classical literature for its lore, being based on the Chinese tale Journey to the West. And for me, although I have never read the original novel, this means that playing the game has still taught me plenty about it. The lore of Black Myth: Wukong is closely intertwined with the original story, to the point that it arguably serves as a backdoor to learning about Journey to the Wests narrative.

Although Black Myth: Wukong follows the Destined Ones journey long after Sun Wukongs own comes to an end, the Monkey Kings experiences are undeniably at the core of the game. The game makes constant use of figures and settings from Journey to the West, and Black Myth: Wukongs extensive roster of bosses is full of familiar faces to those with an understanding of the novel it is based on. However,...

The Masked Singer season 12 is jam-packed with new features, and, even though fan-favorite panelist Nicole Scherzinger won't be returning to the show, it will be its best yet. The Masked Singer season 12 welcomes back host Nick Cannon, along with original panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, and Ken Jeong. Rita Ora will once again step in for Nicole Scherzinger, who was busy with the Broadway transfer of Sunset Boulevard from London's West End, where she played Norma Desmond to critical acclaim. Nicole also appeared as a mentor and a judge on the Netflix reality TV show, Building the Band.

The Masked Singer season 12 follows in the footsteps of its past eleven seasons, during which many legendary celebrities were revealed to be hiding behind its masks. They include winners T-Pain as Monster, Wayne Brady as Fox, Kandi Burruss as Night Angel, LeAnn Rimes as Sun, Nick Lachey as Piglet, Jewel as Queen of Hearts,...

After years of anticipation, Black Myth: Wukong is now available for the PlayStation 5 and PC platforms. The gaming community wasted no time diving into the story and exploring the game’s vast regions to fight overpowered enemies and aid the Destined One in his quest to recover all relics to resurrect the original Sun Wukong. The journey was harrowing and Game Science was inspired by the intense difficulty and combat systems of the Soulslike genre leading to some rage-inducing moments for the player base. However, some players revel in fighting these bosses because it offers them a unique challenge.

The following contains major spoilers for the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba manga, by Koyoharu Gotouge, available in English through Viz Media.

Demon Slayer largely revolves around Tanjiro Kamado's journey to save his sister, but there are numerous other characters sprinkled across the series. Yoriichi Tsugikuni is one of the most important and mysterious characters in Demon Slayer's lore. As the creator of Sun-Breathing, the original and most powerful of all Breathing Styles, Yoriichi is the indisputable strongest when it comes to Demon Slayers.

Though he died ages before the series' present day, his Sun-Breathing lives on thanks to Tanjiro, who now wields the strongest Breathing Style and bears a striking resemblance to the Original Sun-Breather. Yoriichi, like many in a world filled with demons, lived a tragic life, but his relationship with the Kamado family provides a surprising twist on one of Demon Slayer's most often asked questions: is Tanjiro related to Yoriichi?...

The Sun Breathing or the Hinokami Kagura in Demon Slayer is one of the rarest and most powerful Breathing Styles. The creator, Yoriichi, taught it to Tanjiro Kamado’s descendant and a close friend of his, Sumiyoshi. The Kamado men pass it down from generation to generation through a ritual to the Sun God, along with the iconic Hanafuda earrings. Other Breathing Styles were created by Yoriichi to accommodate those outside of the family.

There is someone who could have continued the legacy of Sun Breathing hidden away. Murata, a Demon Slayer character who is another member of the Demon Slayer Corps, has caught the attention of fans for not only his kindness but his hidden potential. The boy has shown nothing speculator about himself other than his luck but is there more than what meets the eye?

The Legacy of Yoriichi and Tanjiro Tanjiro vs Upper Moon 4 in Demon Slayer.

Black Myth: Wukong is based on the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West, and in many ways, the game does a great job translating memorable characters and concepts from the novel. Although it takes place centuries later, Black Myth: Wukong includes plenty of surviving figures from the original story, many of whom the Destined One has to defeat to make it to the finish line. The way that the Destined One goes about vanquishing foes is fairly different from how the original Monkey King Sun Wukong did it, however, and typically a lot more methodical.

In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong's arc is more about learning temperance than it is about gaining power, as he becomes effectively invincible fairly early in the book. He's more than capable of squashing plenty of demons with a single blow of his staff, and many of the journey's obstacles rely on protecting...

"Lost" is currently streaming on Netflix, making one of the most important and influential shows of the Golden Age of TV widely available to a whole new generation. Now, a fresh audience can discover a time when shows could feature both serialized storytelling and deep worldbuilding while still having standalone episodes that make its world feel bigger.

Indeed, watching "Lost" in 2024 feels like stepping into a time machine, with the TV drama doing compelling mysteries that make you want to binge the entire series at once in a way most Netflix shows can only dream of, all without underestimating the power of a great ensemble of characters or the power of episodes working individually in addition to working as part of a whole. "Lost" may have time travel shenanigans, polar bears on a tropical island, a smoke monster — and many more mysteries — but arguably the biggest lingering mystery in the...

The thrilling pilot episode and complex characters kept audiences hooked on Lost's mystery and drama for six seasons. Matthew Fox's portrayal of Jack as a relatable hero was a major reason for the show's monumental success. Lost's personal touches, timely release, and unique storytelling captured viewers in a pre-streaming era of television.

Javier Grillo-Marxuach, the writer and producer behind one of the biggest TV shows of all time, Lost, has explained why the science fiction adventure show was so popular at the time and why its still so popular 20 years later. In a new piece for Vanity Fair, Grillo-Marxuach, who penned several episodes throughout the first two seasons, puts a lot of Losts success on the pilot episode, which introduced audiences to the passengers of Oceanic Flight 815 and the mysterious tropical island they crash-land on.

Lost attracted an audience because it had a thrilling, high-budget, high-concept pilot that described an irresistible mystery.

Warning: Contains spoilers for chapter #1115 of One Piece.

Joyboy's silhouette in chapter #1115 suggests he may have been a human, not a Buccaneer or a Giant. Nika's legend originating from Elbaf led to speculation about Joyboy being a Giant or a Buccaneer. The Buccaneers' great crime could still be linked to Joyboy and his battle against the World Government.

Joyboy's identity is a puzzle that fans of One Piece have been trying to put together for years and the latest chapter has added to the mystery by disproving a major fan theory. The latest chapter of One Piece has revealed the first-ever glimpse of Joyboy, whose silhouette suggests he may not be a Buccaneer or a Giant as fans have speculated.

Chapter #1115 depicts Joyboy's silhouette fighting against a group of kings in a form resembling Gear Five as Vegapunk talks about the Void Century and Joyboy's defeat. While the large straw...

Top 8 Ryu Seon-jae Funny Moments in 'Lovely Runner' - Main Image

We’re only halfway through 2024, but any upcoming Korean drama looking to steal the title of the year's best from Lovely Runner has a tough act to follow. The phenomenal chemistry between the lead actors—Kim Hye-yoon, known for Extraordinary You and Byeon Woo-seok from 20th Century Girl—has made this drama a standout hit.

One of the standout elements is Woo-seok’s character, Ryu Sun-jae, whose comedic moments have left fans laughing long after the drama ended. Here are some of the funniest moments featuring Sun-jae:

Lovely Runner’s Sun-jae Sliding Down Embarrassment

In episode 15, Sun-jae takes Sol to his place to care for her after she faints on a Ferris wheel. As she tries to leave, they have a playful standoff the following day. When Sun-jae realises Sol left her medication behind, he’s desperate to return it.

There are many great shows in this world and many of them get canceled unjustly, and they don’t get to finish the story they were trying to tell what’s even sadder is that sometimes they end on a note that needs some type of resolution and if it’s a Netflix original series there is even a higher chance of that. So, today we are making a list of every Netflix original series that was canceled in 2024.

Obliterated (2023)

When the team thinks that they have succeeded in their mission they go out and party hard all night but...

Spoiler Alert: Details follow for Season 11, Episode 13 of “The Masked Singer,” “Finale: One Mask Takes It All,” which aired May 22 on Fox.

“The Masked Singer” winner Vanessa Hudgens admits she didn’t necessarily play the hiding game: At least among her friends and fans, they figured out it was her under the Goldfish costume rather quickly.

“Rita [Ora] guessed it was me straight from the jump,” Hudgens said. “But she’s also my friend. And we saw each other a few days before the first episode!”

Hudgens beat out Scott Porter, who had performed this season as Gumball, to win the “Masked Singer” trophy. Coincidentally, both Hudgens and Porter previously starred together in 2009’s “Bandslam.”

Despite their history, Hudgens said the production kept her completely in the dark as to who her competitors were. “I was so invested every step of the way,” she said. “I was trying really hard to...

The following contains major spoilers from FBI Season 6, Episode 8, "Phantom," which debuted Tuesday, April 9 on CBS.

FBI Season 6, Episode 8, "Phantom" has great intentions for Agent Tiffany Wallace -- but never quite reaches where it wants her to go. As written by showrunner and Dick Wolf universe veteran Rick Eid, "Phantom" picks up the narrative thread of Hobbs' murder and explores the continued effect his death has on Tiffany. Yet the episode pulls its punches as it tries to fit her emotional journey into one 42-minute space.

Coincidentally airing on the day that the entire FBI franchise was renewed, "Phantom" does show why CBS wants to keep the flagship show around until at least Season 9. The original FBI has the strongest cast out of all three shows, and is one of the best ensembles in Wolf's whole portfolio. This episode reinforces that; it just doesn't take the big leap that the performances would easily support.

Colter finally had a case in a major metropolitan city, And he teamed up with Bobby and Reenie in person?!

Christmas came super early, y'all.

Tracker Season 1 Episode 7 wasn't breaking the mold as far as cases of the week go, but it was the first time we spent extended time with Bobby, and that alone makes it one of the better installments of the first season.

Outside of Reenie, we had yet to see Colter in the same physical space as the people who continuously help him on his various cases.

We know Bobby is the computer whiz, and he can hack just about anything, but outside of that, we don't know much about him. And that's been okay because you assumed eventually we'd get some insight into the man behind the phone, and we finally got it.

Much like Colter, I initially thought Sun was Bobby's girlfriend because he...

CBS’s Tracker season one episode seven opens with a young woman (Dianne Doan) attacked in an alley. She’s a much better fighter than her assailants and is on the verge of escaping up until the moment one of the men pulls out a gun.

The woman turns out to be a friend of Bobby’s named Sun Mai, and Colter (Justin Hartley) rushes to Chicago to investigate her abduction. Bobby (Eric Graise) is on the scene too, and fills Colter in on Sun. It turns out she’s a rising Mma star and quite a skilled fighter. Bobby explains the last time she was seen was on Monday after she finished her workout. She left the gym via the back alley exit.

He was supposed to meet Sun on Tuesday morning...

Warning: Spoilers for The Brothers Sun.

Fans of The Brothers Sun should remain hopeful for a second season, as the show's success and popularity make another season likely.
