From enemies to best friends
Discussion
I love their development but wish they would get a little more air time
There should be more spin-off stories.
I need a My Marine Academia spin-off about their training and missions, ending with the Rocky Port Incident.
My Marine Academia spin-off for Koby & Helmeppo & other SWORD members, along with a noir-esque series with the adult/veteran Marines like Smoker, Hina, Tashigi, and featuring some of the Admirals. Would love to see some of the stuff the Marines did (the good and the bad, a mix of both) in the 2 decades before Luffy set out.
Not if it’s a chapter every 2 weeks
They were like a good chunk of the live action. I wonder jf they'll try to keep that going
Trauma bonded
Biggest glowup in history
And they were roommates
OMG they were roommates shipmates!
someone write an AO3 fanfic
Dead hostage have no value
enemies to lovers
I love their friendship
Now they just need to be lovers ❤
I found my daughter's Reddit account 🙄
"Look, those 2 men are close, they must be gay lovers" Becomes "Why are men so isolated and lonely?"
I think Sam and Frodo jokes kinda ruined male bonding for decades.
Can you take a chill pill its just a joke dont be a weirdo
HAHAHHA you can't tell me that people shipping Sam and frodo is why men struggle being close. Be so serious right now 😭😭😭
Did you know that Sam & Frodo shippers are responsible for centuries of gender stereotype enforcement?
I had no idea! Centuries you say? That's terrible! We must do something about this! 🥺🥺
Wait until you learn about the way people look at platonic intergender friendships
I know for a fact you just made up those last 3 words
you don’t think friendships is a real word??
That’s how men really meet their best friends, tbh. 🤣🤣 - Maãlík
I absolutely love helempo and was mind blown when i caught back up to OP and realized it was him. Even better it helps contrast with luffys whole “no killing” but will beat you so bad you stand up a changed man thing.
... To lovers??
Stockholm syndrome
Yes... friends... they are just good friends
You get it.
And lovers in the live action 💪
Helmeppo is such a chad
How can a two-framed photo make me teary-eyed so easily. Odaaaaa. 🥺🥺🥺
Helmeppo literally became a better person through his friendship with Koby. He has grown kinder and stronger with him willing to put his life and career on the line to save Koby and fought as hard as he could to make sure he got off they got out of Blackbeard’s base alive.
I find it hard to care a lot about Koby. But I love Helmeppo.
I feel the same way.
I can't see that scene without picturing the extendo-hammer.

Honestly love how dumb the censorship was.
It’s funny because that is actually so much more violent. A tiny bullet vs being bludgeoned by a giant hammer lol
No, a hammer is slapstick. Anime school girls pull out giant hammers and crush their fellow students on the regular. The reality of the actual violence is irrelevant in the face of such mass representation.
Those are in comedic chibi moments.
This is just a regular realistic situation where the slapstick wouldn’t apply. Just like Nami’s punches being harmless in a comedic moment vs an enemy punching them and deliveringreal lasting damage.
That doesn’t matter for the broader context of what will be perceived as more or less violent when depicted on screen. Attacks with melee weapons are almost always given more leeway by ratings agencies. Guns in children’s programming had significantly more restrictions which had to be carefully worked around to avoid additional censorship. At least, if the goal was to put the show in the middle of Saturday morning ing or after school cartoons. I watched some of the old animated Batman series with commentary and they talked a bit about what hoops they had to jump through to depict guns and also mentioned some things they were surprised they got away with.
It doesn’t really make that much sense, but that’s just how it was.
Not always. Akainu punches a lot of people at Marineford, and most just got bruised/burned (like Jinbei).
But he also tore half of Whitebeard’s skull off and punched a hole through Ace.
The reason is context matters. In the anove scene Helmeppo isn’t goofing around he’s legitimately threatening Koby’s life.
Well by the angle of that, all it's doing is extend outwards and not touch his head at all
I love and respect the effort to replace it at least
What the fuck is he even holding😭🙏
How do you think they would've censored marineford?
Specifically ace getting fisted?
"Akainu sent Trace to another dimension!"
I had completely forgotten 4Kids randomly renamed him Trace...
Fuck I forgot about that.
Didn’t the dub also make Helmeppo a flat earther?
