The left panel shows an edited, overjoyed, tearfully happy version of One Piece protagonist Monkey D. Luffy with a dialogue bubble reading 'THIS Nintendo Direct IS SO GOOD I COULD DIE!!', representing fans who are extremely satisfied with the announcements shared in the Direct.

This is a two-panel satirical collage meme that jokes about gendered character design trends in the One Piece anime and manga franchise. The left panel, topped with the official One Piece logo, shows the back of an extremely large, heavily overweight man standing at a convenience store counter, meant to represent the highly varied, often exaggeratedly bulky, unusually proportioned male character designs common throughout One Piece. The right panel, also topped with the One Piece logo, shows a conventionally attractive slim woman with exaggeratedly curvy proportions posing against a plain wall, meant to represent the narrow, overly idealized, frequently sexualized female character design formula the series is often criticized for. The core joke highlights the stark contrast between the creative freedom given to male character body types and the restrictive, homogeneous beauty standard applied to almost all female characters in the franchise.

Ace sitting at a bar with his back facing the viewer, his signature back tattoo (which includes the Buddhist manji symbol) visible, surrounded by stacks of empty plates; right is a black-and-white manga panel of a different character with a visually similar back tattoo in the same sitting pose at a bar with stacked plates. A reply to the top post from user @JayCraze15 reads 'Ain that the whole point of buddis[m]', making a sarcastic joke referencing the core Buddhist principle of detachment from material possessions, which playfully counters the initial complaint.
