Moving onto episode 168's opening, recap, and title, the class could see Zoro getting lost in the forest. Luffy thought that he has such a horrible sense of direction, though Chopper could tell he's going in the wrong direction as well.

"These numbskulls." Jiro groaned, shaking her head.

Robin asked Chopper to tell them to go south. Once they headed in the same direction, Chopper thought Luffy has a nice stick, which the captain won't give him one. Zoro was just confuse on why they're talking about sticks.

"Are we really talking about this?" Katsuki complained, looking bored at the calm atmosphere.

Chopper felt reassured with the others around, though Zoro thought this was a let down as they haven't run into a simple priest. Robin thought it was strange that he wants an accident to happen.

Cue the big moving 'root.'

"Oh, now you have to deal with a giant snake!" Sero exclaimed.

"You just have to jinx it, Zoro?" Denki said.

"He asked for a priest, not a snake." Ochako corrected him.

"Still, he was asking for trouble."

Chopper tried to ignore it, believing that they'll laugh at him for being afraid.

"No, tell them now!" Toru ordered.

"You'll be in big trouble if you guys ended up eaten." Mina said.

"Besides, I doubt that they'll make fun of you." Kirishima reassured.

Later on, Robin sensed something strange, as Zoro asked Chopper why he keeps looking behind him. The young reindeer tried to pass it off, but Luffy noticed the big 'roots' with a weird pattern... which is actually a giant snake.

"We told you! We told you!" Toru cried out.

With the Going Merry, Usopp was having a good time, though he can't order Nami around.

With the Milky Road's intense ups and downs, they have to rely on the Crow's power.

"At least you're doing something, Tokoyami." Denki sighed.

"Just because Bakugo is going to make fun of your quirk doesn't mean you can make fun of me." Tokoyami scoffed, causing Denki to let out a disappointed groan.

Usopp tried to make Sanji his guard, but the cook told him to quit it, especially since he's here to protect Nami.

Soon, Nami realized that it's time for the Weird Knight's medicine, wondering where it is. Gan reminded them of his actual name, as Sanji directed her to the medicine's location. Usopp complimented Gan on his recovery, seeing that Chopper and Gan are now even.

For a moment, Gan gone silent til he asked if he could talk about the land's history.

Students lend forward, eager to learn.

When Gan told him that he was God six years ago, Usopp asked if he hit his head, leading Pierre to bite his.

A couple of students snorted at the bit.

Anyway, the former God recounted that Upper Yard appeared in Skypiea some 400 years ago. Until then, Skypiea had been a peaceful sky island, and occasionally items from the Blue Sea rode up the Knock Up Stream to appear onshore, being considered as rare valuables to the sky people. This includes vearth, but Upper Yard was an unimaginable miracle.

"I mean, I wouldn't believe it too if you told me that a giant island flown up into the sky." Jiro said.

Of course, the sky people were overjoyed and worshipped it as holy ground. However, indigenous people lived on the vearth, and a battle over its ownership began.

Those people are the Shandians, people who were sent into the sky against their will.

"But it was their's to begin with. Why did the Shandians have to get kicked out?" Jiro said with a bit more bitterness in her voice.

Hearing this definitely soured the mood, especially remembering how nice Conis and Pagaya are to the crew before.

"Sadly, this has happened in the past in our world." Aizawa mentioned.

"You mean, colonization?" Momo said.

"Okay, at least some of you know about it." Hizashi let out a sigh of relief.

He doesn't shy away from the fact that the sky people has stolen their homeland due to their own greed, and this war hasn't ended even after 400 years, The Shandians are simply trying to take back their homeland.

Nami thought it was kind of heartbreaking, as Usopp and Sanji shouted that it makes them the bad guys. Pierre bit their heads, but Gan agreed.

Feelings of disappointment and disgust risen for the man who acted like a hero for this arc, but at the same time, the class didn't want to hate the man, especially when he acknowledges that all he and his people had done to the Shandians is wrong.

When Nami asked about Enel, Gan recounted his time as God until Enel appeared with soldiers, making a heavy blow to his 'Divine Squad' and to the Shandians, then took control of Upper Yard. Now, most of the Divine Squad is forced to work hard by Enel, though he doesn't know the details.

Katsuki let out an annoyed groan. "Are we going to face more extras?"

"I mean, it makes sense that there would be more people around to enforce things." Denki shrugged.

Still, to the Shandians, who God is doesn't change the situation.

When Sanji asked why did the Shandians attacked them before, Gan explained that members of the Divine Squad sometimes escape via ship, and naturally, the Shandians see them as enemies and try to eliminate them, perhaps mistaking the crew for them.

"At least they're not against outsiders...?" Mina shrugged.

"I'm pretty sure Ponytail is." Katsuki grunted.

One reason why Gan became the Sky Knight was to help escapees flee to other islands safely. They can't stay here, where Enel can observe them.

Sanji commented on God Enel is almost like a king of terror, causing Usopp to repeatedly hit his arm for saying so since the almighty God sees all.

"I'm sure he would had sent lightning after you guys the moment you'd entered without paying." Ochako said.

Gan thought it's much worst since Enel established outsiders as criminals, then has citizens lead them to their 'judgement.' This gives the citizens' 'awareness of sin.'

Enel knows that a person becomes his weakest when he sense sin in his own actions, so he created his own 'lost sheep' and controls them. He's truly playing God.

The class stared with wide eyes and disgust, seeing how Enel as able to manipulate his own people.

Nami commented how wrong they were for thinking this place would be paradise, mentioning the city of gold. This reminds Gan about this gold, having no clue what it is.

"Wait, he doesn't know what gold is?" Denki said, much to everyone else's shock.

"Does that mean the city of gold doesn't exist?" Ochako asked, alarmed.

"Or maybe it does exist, and they have another word for it." Izuku theorized.

After the eyecatches, in the past, Gan Fall tried to negotiate with the Shandians and their chief, but Wyper refused the God for doing nothing for the Shandians. Gan admits that he can't return everything as the power of Upper Yard's vearth is essential to Skypiea now and he cannot take that away from innocent people.

"And the Shandians aren't!?" Jiro can't help but to be furious at him.

"It's obvious it has been hundred of years since then. What can he do without changing too many lives?" Momo wondered.

"Are you defending him?"

"No! It's just that I feel like it's not going to make everything better if Gan Fall just gave the land back right now. Just giving back the land won't erase their centuries of pain."

"Then, what can he do?"

"I... don't know. I don't know their pain." Momo looked down.

Wyper dared him to take the risk, threatening people outside his 'Divine Squad,' that he should sacrifice 100 people who don't want to die, and bring their heads here.

"Whoa, hey, no!" Denki immediately exclaimed, shaking his head, as others looked absolutely alarmed by that.

Being furious about having your land taken is one thing, but demanding death on others is completely different.

Of course, Gan refused to do so, so the negotiations are off. Wyper told them to leave, and Gan tried to call out to him, much to the Shandian's disgust.

Gan mentioned that he love pumpkin juice, but that only sent Wyper into a frenzy, trying to attack him, only to be held back by his men.

"Why did you say that, old man?!" Katsuki furiously asked.

"You don't think it's not a sensitive subject on bringing up something from vearth?" Jiro asked, almost unimpressed.

"...I ...I think he wanted to bring up a common interest, but it backfired." Toshinori wanted to believe. He can't help but to feel sympathy for the man; a man who'd made many mistakes in his life, but tries his best to rectify them.

A young Laki look on from far away, hearing baby Aisa cry. Her mom mentioned that Aisa always cried when something scary happens in the village. Laki asked if it's because of Wyper. Aisa's mother isn't sure, though Wyper always is in the center of any trouble there is. When asked why, Laki admitted that she's afraid of him.

Students went silent, trying to process the information.

He's more than a problem child. Aizawa thought with a grimace. He's troubled.

In the present day, Laki saw Aisa's treasure was spilled on the ground right next to Wyper.

A few gasps rang out, especially seeing the look in Laki's eyes. For a moment, they expected Laki to tear into him, whether figuratively or literally, but Braham stopped her.

Wyper dared them to stay here, though they're always prepared. Still, he wants them to abandon those who have fallen during the battle.

The students were stunned by his words. The idea of leaving behind a fallen friend left a terrible taste in their mouth.

Those who can keep moving will come with him. Today will be the day Enel's head will be his.

"I can understand why he's so obsess, but to leave behind your people?" Momo quietly said.

Aizawa's eyes harden. You make it sound easy, kid.

To interrupt this moment, the four Straw Hats ran away from the giant snake. Zoro stopped to attack it, but the snake was able to lunge at Luffy and Chopper at great speeds despite his size.

Zoro and Robin gotten up to the branches, just in time to witness the giant snake bite into a tree, its poison rotting away the stump.

"Oh, it's also poisonous!" Katsuki shouted at the ridiculousness of the snake's dangerous.

Zoro suggest that they run away, adding that they don't touch the poison. Though Luffy attempted to taunt the snake after him, he went after Robin, who jumped out the way of its bite.

"Cinco Fleurs!" Swinging from a vine made of her arms, Robin moved away as Chopper ran.

Zoro was hoping to find the tail, but was met with the snake's head instead.

"How the hell you can't you tell its head from its tail!?" Jiro shouted.

"His sense of direction is practically nonexistence." Hizashi could only comment on.

The snake lunged, attacking a great deal of the forest.

Later, it was revealed that everyone was separated-

"Zoro, you went left when you said right!" Jiro had to point out, becoming a bit frustrated.

-and they're trying to find their way.

With Enel, he could tell tell that the Shandians started to move while the Blue Sea people have split up into two groups... then split up even more.

"Seriously, what's Mantra? Is it just instinct?" Denki asked.

He wondered how many people will survive, letting the survival game to begin.

"Survival game? Is that his 'festival?'" Izuku asked in worry.

As the Shandians traveled to God's Shrine for Enel's head, "To Be Continued."

"Is this just a game to him?" Momo said, bitterness in her voice.

"What do you expect? He's been relaxed this entire time." Jiro sighed.


Moving onto episode 169, they skipped the opening, recap, and title to see that on the Going Merry, Gan Fall reminded them of the one reason he'd became a soldier-for-hire, which is because Blue Sea people cannot handle sky combat. When USopp asked about sky combat, Gan demonstrated by placing a Dial on a barrel as Sanji help a comically large hammer.

"What are we doing?" Toru asked, though the others were curious in what's going on.

Gan asked Sanji to try to crush the shell with all his might, though Usopp told him to do it gently or else he'll smash a hole in the deck.

Sanji listened to Gan instead, slamming the hammer down, though it doesn't seem to have affect anything, not the dial nor the surroundings.

Baffled and confused stared came around.

"Wait... Did it absorbed the impact?" Momo asked, causing eyes to grow wide.

Sanji seemed to notice this as well.

Gan ordered him to point the dial's holes at the empty barrel and press the back tip of the shell.

Doing do caused the barrel to explode, sending wood and Sanji flying.

This is an Impact Dial, and it can absorb and freely release shocks given to it. Normally, they're affixed to the palms using gloves or bandages, and they're powerful enough that a direct hit can kill an average person.

Looks were exchanged at that, realizations coming from this example.

"Wait, is that how those guys were able to do all of that?" Denki asked in pure shock.

Sanji and Usopp realized this is what the 'dumpling priest' used on them before.

"Holy shit, thank god they're not average people." Kirishima let out a sigh of relief.

"Those shocks were able to affect even Luffy." Izuku frowned. "Is there a limit to this?"

As Sanji repeatedly hit him, Gan recounted that even more powerful dials in ancient sky islands exist, like the extinct 'Reject Dial,' though they're a double-edge sword too since the excessive shock can put the user's own life at risk.

The class winced at the silhouettes evaporating.

"But they're extinct now, so no one's going to use them. Right?" Toru asked.

"If no one's going to use them, then what's the point of mentioning it?" Jiro answered with another question.

Nami wasn't wrong about the dials being more common, everyday objects, but Gan reminded her that 'what seems useful can always be used for evil as well, depending on who uses it.' A Heat Dial can be used to warm food, but it can turn a spear into a 'heat javelin.'

"So, that's how that pilot guy was able to do all of that." Denki realized.

"Hm... In a way, it's like having a quirk." Aizawa said, eyes on him. "You can use a quirk in heroics, but you can use it in villainous ways too."

"I mean, I can use my voice for good, but I can easily use it for villainy too." Hizashi used as an example.

"But just because someone could use that quirk for villainy doesn't mean they would." Aizawa made sure to mention, seeing some of his students nod along in understanding. Hm... How would he react to this?

That's sky combat, and Blue Sea people are unfamiliar with dials and the types of artificial clouds.

Sanji asked about Mantra, but since Gan is unable to use it himself, he can't explain it very well. He describes it as a listening ability, where, just by living, people give off voices from their bodies, and by listening to them, one can allegedly tell what a person will do next. The priests can hear all throughout Upper Yard while Enel's powers extend across the entire land.

"Holy shit, that's amazing." Jiro could only wish she wasn't talking about the villains of this arc.

Because of that, the people of this land have no time to feel at ease.

"Yeah, with a quirk like that, I would be careful with what I say too." Sero gulped.

"Is he your relative?" Todoroki turned to Jiro.

"You already said that to Kaminari." Jiro said with some annoyance.

Todoroki then stared at Jiro, then at Denki. "...Then, is Enel your and Kaminari's love child?"

"WHAT?!" The two shouted, blushes covering their faces. The others laughed at the two's reactions.

"W-What do you mean?!" Jiro shouted.

"It makes sense. Enel is blond, has the long ear lobes, an electric quirk, powerful hearing, he said 'Ware ga Kaminari,' and he's apparently a reference to a musician." Todoroki listed out.

"Honestly, that, at least, sounds more plausible than me being All Might's love child." Izuku sighed.

"...Wait, what?" Toshinori looked baffled at that.

"I mean, Enel does seem to happen to have a lot similar traits to you guys." Mina snickered.

"I-It's pure coincidence!" Jiro continued to blush.

"Yeah, and besides, if we did had a kid, they wouldn't be evil like Enel." Denki firmly said.

"Yea- wait, what?" Jiro's blush seemed to grow stronger at that.

"Technically, Enel would be their ance-" Iida was interrupted when Izuku said, "I feel like we should stop now or else we'll be in too deep."

At God's Shrine, Enel asked if they've reached the bottom, and the man claimed that they're eagerly waiting so. He could see that Enel is really waging all-out war, questioning such severity as they're only dealing with a few of the Shandians and Blue Sea people.

Enel simply thought that festivals are more fun the livelier they are, and besides, his men are making light of the underlying power of sky combat.

As his servant peeled his banana, Enel explained that there's him, fifty Divine Soldiers, and three priests against twenty Shandians, and four Blue Sea people. No, wait make that 7 because he doubts that the old man can fight right now.

"He really thinks everything is a game if he's just using numbers." Aizawa said.

"Wait until he discovers what Luffy's Devil Fruit powers are." Hizashi smirked.

"Oh yeah, Luffy would by immune to electricity." Ochako realized.

"I guess, he's the only one safe then." Shoji said.

"I mean, Luffy has to take down the big bad of the arc." Katsuki said.

Enel forced his servant to guess the outcome, but since she doesn't know much, he had one of his man to do it instead, who suspected that 30 people will fall and 50 will survive.

Enel laughed at his 'optimism,' saying that he's underestimating this battle, so the man asked for his own prediction. For Enel, there'll only be five people left on this island.

"Five?!" Students looked at each other in worry.

"Come on, it's not like he has future vision." Katsuki reminded them.

"Still, he's just so confident in what he said that we can sort of believe it." Toru said.

The Shandians came back to the forest, but they've found themselves unable to move, practically frozen mid-air. Shura shown himself, claiming that Upper Yard's layout has changed.

"What do you mean?! How are you able to do this?!" Mineta shouted in shock.

After the eyecatches, the Shandians could see that they're in String Ordeal, where, in fact, they're tangled up in string clouds.

"Oh, that's why." Denki realized.

"String clouds?" Ojiro repeated in confusion.

"Well, it was called the String Ordeal for a reason." Tokoyami reasoned.

Shura was impressed that Kamakiri could tell with the strong clouds being so fine that they can't be seen but strong enough to stop grown men.

The priest was so confident that it seemed like he didn't notice Wyper in the shadows, but he did, riding on Fuza's back, dodging his explosive.

"So close!" Mina cried out.

"Wyper was able to predict his attack beforehand?" Todoroki wanted to be a little more impressed.

Though he was warned of the Heat Javelin, Wyper tossed aside his shield and weapon, falling right into the javelin's tip.

Shouts of surprise came out as Toshinori gasped, "What are you doing?!"

Wyper grabbed onto Shura, even as the javelin burned him.

Students winced, especially Todoroki.

When Wpyer placed his bandaged hand on the priest's chest, Shura claimed that an Impact Dial can't defeat him, but Wyper said that it has ten times the energy.

"Wyper, you didn't-" Momo cut herself off, covering her mouth with her hands.

"Reject!" Shura's feathers fly everywhere as the Shandian landed on the ground, holding onto his arm.

With that, one person dropped out; eight remain.

Izuku held onto his own arm in horror, eyes widen at this act.

Enel let his people know that Shura has been defeated. One of his men was more shock that Enel wasn't distress since his two undefeated priests has fallen in under two days.

Enel just thought it can't be helped since they must not have had God's divine protection.

"But aren't you 'God?'" Jiro raised an eyebrow.

"I guess they're not worthy enough to him." Tokoyami guessed.

Meanwhile, the 5o Divine Soldiers of Skypiea are allow to wreak havoc to their hearts' content.

"I did not realize that there were goat people in the sky too." Hizashi almost wanted to laugh.

Laki has stood on the shore, collecting the vearth into Aisa's bag as Kamakiri scolded Wyper for trying to die, knowing that his body would be blown apart if he tries to use the Reject Dial one more time.

Wyper didn't care about his body, calling it 'resolve.' There has to be sacrifices.

"But you can't do anything for your homeland if you're dead." Aizawa glared him down as Izuku was suddenly reminded of the Quirk Apprehension Test of the first school day, and what Aizawa has said to him that day.

"I'm saying that's what those around you will be forced to do."

If he continues this way, then he would be leaving his people in danger, that someone will have to do something. Izuku could only stare at the screen intensely, clenching his arm.

A blast from his launcher released the others from their string imprisonment. The Shandians split up, seeing that the ordeals' locations has changed now, though that doesn't stop the Divine Soldiers from fighting them.

Students sneered, seeing that the Divine Soldiers aren't a joke despite appearances.

All the while, Luffy was walking around the forest, singing his songs til he heard a goat bah. The Divine Soldier tried to attack him from behind, but Luffy already beat him to the punch, disappointed that he wasn't an actual goat.

Students snickered at both the quick defeat and Luffy's ridiculous reason.

After Luffy continued his walk and song, he came across Wyper, who isn't pleased that he's still here. Luffy was only apologetic when Wyper told him that this is his people's land, not God's.

"Look, you must realize it's hard to get off a sky island, right?" Sero said.

Wyper stopped him before Luffy could go in any further. Though Wyper realized that he doesn't have anything to say to him, he also doesn't want to hear any of his garbage. In fact, he wants to eliminate him.

"Hey, Luffy's singing was't that bad." Jiro said.

Luffy was rather causal about it, tossing his stick aside and getting into a fighting stance.

This he could understand.

"To Be Continued."

"Oh man, he's ready." Kirishima grinned.

"Though, I feel like they shouldn't be fighting each other." Momo frowned.

"It's obvious why he would have a hatred for foreigners." Aizawa noted. "It doesn't excuse his tactlessness of the situation, though."


AN: In all honesty, I wanted to make the 'Enel being Jiro and Denki's love child' joke from the beginning, but I wanted to make it in this chapter because it mentions Enel having powerful hearing, and I wanted to make the joke have slightly more justice.
