Talk:Punk Hazard Arc

Impact stuff we already know
we could add a "Story impact section now, and add things like "Trafalgar Law was seen for the first time after the timeskip, with a bounty of 440,000,000" or "More information of Donquixote Doflamigo is revealed, as he is a well known underground broker, and has a Vice admiral under cover within the Marines working for him."  01:55, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Done. Feel free to add to it now, DSP. 01:58, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Some more stuff we could add: We know where another one of Vegapunk's labs is and we know CC worked for him there in the past. We know the location of the Akainu vs. Aokiji fight. We have (possibly) seen the beginning of the Kid-Hawkins-Apoo alliance. The Heart/Straw Hat Alliance has begun as well. I think we should have the section now, the arc is certainly deep enough. 02:01, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Ending
How do we know that we reached the end? All I saw was the climax of the arc, not the ending. --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 14:45, December 20, 2012 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi

arc over
Isn't the arc over? The Straw Hats have left Punk Hazard and are heading towards Dressrosa.

I'd say no. There were still scenes and unresolved plotlines (gas victims, Doflamingo/Kuzan, etc) from PH in today's chapter, even if the Straw Hats have left the island. We usually tend to have the beginning of arcs when the Straw Hats arrive at a new location, such as with Water 7 & Enies Lobby, or Amazon Lily and Impel Down and Marineford. It's near its end (possibly the last or second to last chapter) but it's not quite there yet, in my opinion. 17:48, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

But the Punk Hazard arc started before the Straw Hats actually reached the island, and so did the Fishman Island arc. In FI's case, there were even a good chunk of chapters before the crew reached the actual island, so I personally don't see the Dressrosa arc shouldn't be created now.Totoofze47 (talk) 18:49, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Usually doesn't mean always. In those cases, the plotlines of the previous arcs were resolved. Chapter 698 has more plot elements from the Punk Hazard arc than it does of the next arc. Since the plot of PH is a bit unresolved, I would say that 698 is part of PH. 18:54, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

I agree with JSD, the symptoms of the PH arc is still hanging in the air... WonderfulUnicorn (talk) 19:01, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

just wait for the next island Rayleigh92 (talk) 19:08, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Rayleigh is right. Just start it when they get to the next place they're going and wait until then. For all we know, they'll go somewhere before Dressrosa. 19:32, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

That's exactly what we ( JSD and me ) have been trying to point out I guess, but everyone is just so hasty about starting off with a new arc. I sent you a message on your talk page by the way DP. WonderfulUnicorn (talk) 20:03, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Got it. Shouldn't we consider a new name for the saga though?
