Talk:Zou Arc

Start Point
I think the Zo Arc should start at 801 when we go to the going Luffy scene, because it's basically continuous with what happened in this Chapter. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 21:25, October 1, 2015 (UTC)

Agreed. 21:34, October 1, 2015 (UTC)

Well, 801 starts with Oda's final summation of Dressrosa, so that's at least partially in the Dressrosa arc. But yeah, I'd say if we have to make it one arc, put 801 in Zo. 21:37, October 1, 2015 (UTC)

Anyway I think it was Oda's intantion to start the arc on 700 and end it on 800. 21:41, October 1, 2015 (UTC)

I agree but I say that we also start a new Saga. Yes, I know it's technically "connected" to Dressrosa but at this point we're just going too far. What if they beat Shanks, Kid and Big Mom in between before Kaido? Are we really going to make a Saga that spans across 40% of the series? Is there really a point to it anymore then? It's like saying that Skypiea and Alabasta were tied because when they leave Alabasta and talk with Robin the Saint Briss immediately falls from the sky and because of that they intertwine. We need to divide at a certain point.

Starts at 802 because that's when they arrive at Zo. 801 still has Dressrosa stuff. 802 color spread even says "the battle for Dressrosa has finally ended!" 21:45, October 1, 2015 (UTC)

What I meant was that the first 2/3 of 801 would be in Dressrosa Arc while the last part would be Zo 21:47, October 1, 2015 (UTC)

If we make chapter 801 the start of the Zou arc, then chapter 699 should be the start of the Dressrosa arc.

Same issue. The first half of 699 is used to close Punk Hazard (ends with Aokiji telling the Marines to keep quiet), and the rest of the chapter is continuous with chapter 700, including a brief showcase the country at the end of the chapter. KingCannon (talk) 21:50, October 1, 2015 (UTC)

Would it be so wrong to include 1 chapter in 2 arcs? 22:13, October 1, 2015 (UTC)

Confusing and trouble with template codes etc. I already stated that the color spread says "the battle for Dressrosa has finally ended!" which is pretty clear indication that this chapter marks the beginning of the new arc. 22:16, October 1, 2015 (UTC)

There isn't really any Dressrosa stuff in 802. In 801, apart from boarding Barto's ship to head for Zo there isn't anything related to Zo. I don't see any reason for 801 to be apart of Zo.--DuelMaster93 (talk) 23:07, October 1, 2015 (UTC)

The battle for Dressrosa ended ages ago. Remember that time that the cover said "Law's secret finally revealed" referring to the D. but during Gear Fourth? Sorry but that's no proof in any way.

Arc should start at 802, 801 was the finale for Dressrosa. 23:57, October 1, 2015 (UTC)

King said what I was going to say. This is the exact same situation as Punk Hazard. SeaTerror (talk) 04:58, October 2, 2015 (UTC)

Just a note on the 'the battle on dressrosa has finally ended', I think it was referring to volume 79 which is just about to be published. Anyways,I say 802 because 801 had some little snippets of Dressrosa left Hawkinz340 (talk)

In 801 they are boarding the Going Luffy-senpai and are headed to Zo. I dont see why it shouldnt start on 801. 11:36, October 2, 2015 (UTC)

801 is the last we see of Dressrosa hence the last chapter of that arc. 12:15, October 2, 2015 (UTC)

Alright, I'm further convinced that 802 is the start now. 14:15, October 2, 2015 (UTC)

I'm not entirely pleased with the continuity, but I concede 14:26, October 2, 2015 (UTC)
