the reason why i state that usoop is the weakest is because oda sensei said so himself in an interview, usoop will always be the weakest of the group but it does not mean he can't beat the other members aside from luffy sanji and zorro which are the powerhouses, its just that he is and will always be the weakest until oda decides otherwise. about the luffy vs usoop fight, you do know luffy was holding back? if he wasn't he would have killed usoop in an instant no matter how many tricks usoop pulls his strength will not be on par with the others, which is not a bad think cause fighting is not his strongest fort and they are a family so fighting amongst themselves by arguments but never life or death. now on the other hand i do belief usoop will be stronger than anybody outside the crew and i am exited to see him fight blackbeards marksman, that will be an epic fight. about the haki discussion I think at least all of them will be able to learn the color of armament since it is essential for them to learn if they want to be able to inflict more damage and protect themselves against Logia users, same for color of observation although i would limit it to only Luffy, Zorro, Sanji, Usoop, Brook and maybe Robin. now for the Color of the conquering King it is obvious that Luffy has it but as for the rest of the team, i would limit it to only Zorro since he has showed more will power and loyalty to make sure that luffy succeeds than any other straw hat aside that he is the first mate and it would be only fitting if he had it just like Rayleigh. opinions are welcomed.

zorro stronger than sanji? i think they are very close in strength in my opinion but it is possible that Zorro is a bit stronger but by a small margin. if we are talking about power levels of the crew here is my placement theory: 1.Luffy 2.Zorro 3.Sanji 4.Chopper(with monster point, if not place him below franky) 5.Franky 6.Brook 7.Robin 8.Nami 9.Usoop this list is debatable since there are 2 factors to be considered: -we have not seen the full potential of brook since he has had very few fight scenes so i don't know if he could be stronger than Franky or chopper. -we barely see robin fight but given her devil fruit it is at least obvious that she is stronger than nami and usoop, although she may be able to at least neat brook but it is all just a theory. Btw. who do you think the 10th member of the straw hats will be? Luffy stated in the beginning that he wanted at least 10 crew members so if you don't count the ship there is still a vacant spot for the last member. ppl think that it could be jimbey but i doubt it since he has to protect the merman island now that whitebeard is gone now, I think Boa could be given taking in consideration that she loves luffy (did not see that coming when i first saw her) but if the WG find about her betrayal she may be forced to protect her island just like jimbey so it may be somebody new altogether.

considering that this is Oda-sensei who is making this series i have absolute fate that it will work out well, i mean, he managed to give equal screen-time and development for each member of the straw hat making them all the protagonists basically, which is something we rarely see on manga and anime that feature a lot of characters and which many have failed to accomplish too, so i am confident that this 2 year gap will be for the best, after all if they want to go to the new world they need to get stronger and 2 years seems reasonable, in the best case scenario it will result into them been all equals in their own way (lets face it, ussop will always be the weakest of the group but that does not mean he can't be stronger than anybody outside of the crew), having a more mature view on the challenges they face but at the same time keeping the charm that they have in which we all know and love. worse case scenario is what happened in naruto shippuden, 3 year gap, everybody improved and some of them get some development in their characters......until naruto and sasuke go over 9,000 and the rest get to be a pretty wall decoration or canon fodder in which disappointed me because my favorite ninja is shikamaru and he got to show just how awesome he is and when that point came it all went down hill for me, Rock lee was one of my faves and i think he has done jack on development, (fillers don't count for me and i don't think he did much anyways there too). all in all one piece will keep being awesome each time we see it, now if we could see more of smoker i would be more happy although i am getting the feeling that we will see more of him once the new world journey starts, I think smoker will be to Luffy what Garp was to Roger, that's what i think anyways.

I see, I don't usually check on Tv-Nihon so i thought he meant youtube. I want to quickly see the last episode so i can give my final thoughts on the series, although for now it is a solid B+, the final rating will all depend on how it ends, i hope it is good.

it would not be the first time, besides i need to watch them in order to make a good expression of each series for the calendar. and don't you mean 48? its already on youtube and it's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

1 more episode and the movies left to see, this series was pretty good for me, definitely one of my favorites,....now if i can get the time to watch the other heisei series before Ooz Starts I can give the order in which i like each one of them.

indeed, i will absolutely watch this when is released.

here is a video showing the official cast with pictures : I have not watch shinkinger yet but from what i could tell from the decade episode, The gold ranger is kind of a goof (a bad ass goof mind you) so i wonder if saban will keep his personality intact or they will make him more serious like all the other 6th rangers, thoughts?

nice work, you need to work on your perspective in the 4th one, other than that it looks great, keep it up, i have already faved one of your drawings on deviant art.

Thanks, I keep trying different styles of inking my sketches and so far i like this one, although i have a long way to go before i am really satisfied, BTW, what is the actual color scheme of Ichigo and Nigo? i noticed on different videos that their costumes don't stay the same, although i am currently going to paint them in the style of Kamen Rider THE FIRST/THE NEXT

let me know what you guys think

here is a preview of my latest work, this one will be on the calendar

wow, and i did it as simple as i could!, lol, glad you like it anyways, I will be closing shop at the moment cause I have a little project I want to do specially for the forum which will require a lot of my attention, I will talk about it on a thread soon.

Sorry for the delay ryuki, i almost forgot your request in which i apologize again, I don't like to keep ppl waiting in terms of requests but i finished the Advocacy Team badge. hope you like it:

no prob.

ok, finished your request,let me know if you like it, here it is:

Sorry for the delay Lordspleach, i had to reformat my laptop cause it has been giving me problems and by doing that i had to re-install my painting programs, I did do a sketch of your request so you could view what it is going to look like before its done, I don't know much about Black and RX since i am still a beginner in terms of Kamen Rider knowledge specially in the showa era but i just went with what i know so far, and finding good pictures of both black and Rx are hard for me find specially his human form but with that i just gave him the clothes he had on decade cause it looked awesome, behind Black and Rx I am going to make a sun just to fit their nicknames better but if anybody has some suggestions their are welcomed to share. here is a preview:

sooo whats the info on what are they going to do? are they going to remake Mighty Morphin? or are they going to use Shinkinger for the next installment? I hope they use shinkinger and not remake Mighty Morphin, although if they use Mighty Morphin instead of remaking the series they could just do a new story that goes after the previous season just to keep the chronology intact, let me explain: Zordon is dead but there are still power ranger thanks to the morphing grid (explained in Overdrive) and the 3 of the original 5 medallions are still intact (Jayson, Triny and Zack only transferred and cloned the power to their replacements Adam,rocky and aisha) so and the other medallions (at least adams on overdrive) where fixed and usable again so reverse engineering the technology is possible since previous seasons like light speed rescue have done it, so a new Mighty Morphing team could be possible and having 1 or 2 of the original member there as a mentor or ranger would be a plus, based on the current things i know of the original actors i know of of these 3 could return for that role : Jason david frank (tommy) : he is currently an MMA fighter but he has mentioned that if brought the chance to play in another season of Power Ranger he would probably do it, and he is already in shape so no worries on that department. Johnny Yong Bosch (Adam): aside from tommy he is the second longest ranger in service so it would not be a bad Idea to put him if tommy is not available, although he would have to make time for the series and his current band if he takes the job. Austin St. John (jayson) : he is the original red ranger so it would make sense if he appears at least as a mentor, in forever Red he demonstrated that he still has some moves and still has his power ranger powers. opinions are welcomed.

damn, i hope they sell those shirts in the future, too bad i don't live in the states to get that awesomesauce shirt.

well watched up until episode 43 and it is turning out awesome, more is revealed little details about Ryu and why he is chosen by shroud to be a kamen rider can't wait for the next episode.

sure, what size do you want the logo to be?

yeah it is a rough sketch, not the final design, i have to clean it, ink it and color it on photoshop, just wanted to show the concept of what i wanted to do so ppl could give suggestions about it so i can do it in the final version. LordspleachKamen Rider Black and RX ? no problem, i will make a sketch of it soon and upload it so you can see what I am going to make and for feedback from the viewers. btw, both of them together or separate?

Thank you very much Matt for the feedback, i know that it looks squished since it is a sketch i don't worry much about that since i will fix all the errors in photoshop, i did had trouble doing the wolf orphenoch tho cause i could not find decent pictures of it, again thanks for the feedback, it will all be fixed in the final version.
