  • One Piece Chapter 1194: Zoro Unlocks Conqueror's Haki | The Void Century Podcast EP. 70

    Zoro finally figures out Conqueror's Haki mid-fight, and it takes a flashback to Mihawk, a pointed jab from Scopper Gaban, and a lot of stabbing to get there. On this episode of the Void Century Podcast, we break down One Piece Chapter 1194, "All Things Are in Flux," picking up right where the Zoro vs. Saint Somers fight left off on Elbaf. We look at why Zoro's blade is giving off Gear 5-style clouds, how Somers' Haoshoku-looking black smoke compares, and what the heck "Omen" actually is as the apparent flip side of Conqueror's Haki.

    From there the conversation spirals into the big Haki questions. Who has Conqueror's Haki and who doesn't? We weigh in on the Gorosei, Figarland Garling, Shamrock, Mihawk, Sanji and Ivankov, Jinbe, Usopp, and the Red Hair Pirates. We also get into the Roger Pirates, the Blackbeard Pirates' lineup, and who might end up fighting whom when the crews finally collide, plus what we're hoping to see from Shanks on Elbaf.

    Episode 69: Chapters 1192 & 1193: "We Won't Stand for It" / "Still Practicing"

    The Void Century Podcast is back after a brief hiatus, and they're making up for lost time with a double chapter breakdown. Luffy and Loki are putting IMU through the worst day of his immortal life, Usopp gets a legitimately great character moment, and Zoro does something that will have you rewinding the panel in your head. It's a packed episode.

    [00:00] Welcome back, brief hiatus explanation, and chapter 1192 intro

    [01:02] IMU on his knees: breaking down the aftermath of the Luffy and Loki combo attack

    [01:23] Loki's hammer Ragnar goes to work, and the debut of Luffy's new attack, Gum Gum Don Kraken

    [02:30] The Shield of Emptiness: is IMU's Omen a form of Conqueror's Haki, and what does it mean that it's overpowering Luffy's?

    [05:31] Usopp shows up out of nowhere and gives Scopper Gaban a speech for the ages: breaking down the character growth and what it says about Usopp hiding his Haki signature

    [09:27] "We Won't Stand for It": the title drop moment and what Usopp's words mean for Luffy's freedom and his identity beyond Nika or Joy Boy

    [12:22] IMU tries to escape, Loki notices, and Luffy gets slung like a cannonball riding Ragnar into a direct hit: Gum Gum Dawn Thor bullet

    [14:03] Chapter 1193 begins: the Adam Tree takes damage, and Scopper starts to see what Luffy actually is

    [16:38] Loki's hybrid form teased in silhouette: wings, spikes, and the Nidhogg dragon connection

    [18:16] Cut to the Branch Route: Franky, Nami, Jinbei, Brook, and the question of whether Junko or Princess Shuri is waking up

    [19:26] The Owl Library secret chamber: Biblio speaks in animal language, Chopper translates, and a letter from his grandfather's generation needs to be opened

    [20:12] Is Biblio ancient like Zunesha, or is this a family legacy passed down through generations? And does Biblio carry the Will of the D?

    [22:41] Speculation on what's inside the chest: a Haki knot, a frozen giant horn, forbidden knowledge for Robin?

    [24:43] The Sun World village reacts to the flooding and earthquakes: Jarl raises the question of whether King Harald's diplomacy was a mistake

    [26:43] Dory and Bragi charge at Zaza on a flying boat with cloud-tipped oars: and what that technology says about Elbaf's history with the Ancient Kingdom

    [29:51] Sanji vs. Rimu Shifu and Zoro vs. Summers: setting up both fights

    [31:06] Summers reveals his invisible thorns and completely traps Zoro, who responds by ignoring him entirely and thinking through the problem

    [33:40] Zoro disappears, cuts through all the thorns, and drives his blade right next to Summers' heart: did he miss, or was his Conqueror's Haki just not fully imbued yet?

    [38:56] The Zoro vs. Mr. 1 parallel, and why Summers is the type of villain who only feels strong when the odds are already in his favor

    [39:27] Will Sanji and Zoro finish their fights at the same time? And is Rimu Shifu's focus on kidnapping the children actually going to be his downfall?

    [44:11] Wrapping up: Usopp's growth from Sabaody to Elbaf, the Red Hair Pirates potentially arriving, and a debate about whether a Davy Back Fight with Shanks would actually make sense

    Episode 68: Loki Is Here | One Piece Chapter 1191 Breakdown

    Chapter 1191 does not hold back, and neither do we. Luffy is barely standing, Scopper Gaban just lost an arm taking a hit meant for the future Pirate King, and Imu is transforming into something that looks like it crawled out of a biblical nightmare. This week we break down every panel of "Loki Is Here," talk through what Imu's hybrid devil form actually tells us about his origins, and try to figure out what in the world is going on with that giant owl in the basement library.

    [18:17] The significance of things in threes throughout One Piece, from siblings to Haki types to devil fruit categories

    [20:59] Hajrudin punches Imu in the face, the shield breaks, and Scopper tells everyone to run

    [25:11] Luffy refuses to retreat and insists he can heal himself because he ate a lot

    [28:38] Loki arrives, the brothers finally show some genuine camaraderie, and the combined attack Go Goku Sovereignty is launched

    [32:23] How this moment mirrors the God Valley battle, and what it means that Scopper is there to witness it

    [34:19] Will Imu tank this combo or fire back with his own blast? And where do the Five Elders rank versus the God's Knights?
