One Piece will reach 100 volumes and yes, 1000 chapters. I have all 71 so far and plenty of space! I also have 12 Death Note(complete), 56 Inuyasha(complete) and 20 Soul Eater(25 will be complete).
What surprise me is that OP is "only" the 23th in the classement.
Also to go back a bit to the topic, when i spoke of Antasma's final dungon being possibly biomechanical in nature, i can think of this: www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=-mEKKub3bls#t=2567 Make the those plants purple and you have a very creepy and nice final dungeon.
Yeah, but One Piece has more volumes than that, but not released yet, only planned. It will be MUCH higher, unless all those series ahead of it are still going!
Biomechanical is great! Considering that the VIM factory was sort of that way, so it would be a theme throughout the game. Just imagine how disturbing that could get.
It become even more creepy when you remember dreambert's comment about how the vines were an extension of Antasma, basically it isn't Antasma's place, it's Antasma himself in a way and he might intend to do this to the rest of creation (would make Dreambert's catch phrase "Be one with" a lot harsher when you think about it.)
At the end of Inuyasha the group had to travel into Naraku to defeat him. Everything was under his control, and he could make his image appear in any part of his flesh. Antasma could do something like that.
Yep, or pull a Dimentio and make a room full of illusions and fake Antasma enemies. Maybe even fake pits and various tricks of the eye like the Shadow Temple from OOT.
He can have that crappy Luigi Ball attacks for all I care!
I would like this, though. Also, this is the area that those unique game overs could appear. To really screw with the player's head.
Did you ever play Eternal Darkness? That game really screwed with the player's head. It would remove items from your inventory, or tell the player their memory card was corrupted, or the controller was unplugged, even though these things were not true.
What would be truly creepy is if Antasma say something like: "I vill destroy you then the great being from another dimension vhich helped you shall share the the same fate along vith his vorld, i should suggest him or her to turn the power off of the nintendo console, might give him or her a few minutes of respite before i consume his or her dimension too..."
All while staring at you with the 3D effect giving the feel, he is gonna reach you.
That happened in Bravely Default. The final boss starts destroying worlds and your face can be seen. I is implied that you are next should the heroes lose the battle.

Dude. I loved Eternal Darkness! And Bravely Default.
In super paper mario, the player is refered as the great being from another dimension, Count Bleck and Super Dimentio were gonna destroy all dimensions.
Guess what it mean ?
Also you can get a game over by refusing the pure heart at the beggining of the game:P
Queen Jaydes can do that, if you piss her off enough.
The fish bowl is weird, apparently you can't breathe in space, yet in other games you can (i could handwave it that it's another universe, so the laws of physics might be different:P)
I just through of it, in Kirby anime, Nightmare is CEO of Holy Nightmare Co or Nightmare Enterprise, Antasma is inspired by Nightmare and sport a bowtie and necktie in his battle form.
She is pretty much the goddess of life and death and we know what happen when you piss off a god, Antasma can attest.
I'll use my answer for all the SPM related questions, Dimentio did it.
Antasma Enterprise, selling Nightmares and dream related monsters for your enslavement and our amusement.
Also i've found where the different bodyframe of the Antasma trophy come, it's actually from anime Nightmare as well (his glasses are also very similar to Antasma's mask).
It may imply a possible foreshadowing to Bleck, since anime Nightmare has a starry cape like him (and starry sunglasses:P)
Another reason why Antasma should get a redesign, is that he is supposed to be a red herring, he was made to look like all mario villains and evil as possible so peoples would be surprised when Bowser would be the final boss.
So, should he come back, he should lose the villains traits (or at least heavily diminish them) and gain a more unique design since the twist is done, otherwise it might look weird (they could also make another red herrring were Antasma look less threatening, lacking the villains traits and overall looking less evil but he eventually become the final boss)
Yeah, we were all just shocked when Bowser was the final boss.
We discussed toning the traits down, but still including some. Who could be his red herring though? Antasma would obviously be the boss if he returned.
The red herring could be basically the enterprise idea, he hide himself behind a benevolent enterprise which sell good things to the inhabitants, while the Shroobs come back and seem to be the main antagonists of the game.
However you eventually notice that the enterprise is also doing shady business, selling weapons and other stuffs to the Shroobs.
You then discover that the CEO of the enterprise is none other than Antasma who then proceed to hijack the Shroobs and become the main antagonist for the rest of the game and final boss.
Now THAT is a good idea. I was not too into the corporate Antasma idea, but that would be cool to have him hide behind it. In fact, they could produce products like energy drinks to serve to the Mushroom Kingdom, and at the end the Mario Bros. realize that the prodccts are actually vim made from toads and served to them! IT'S A COOKBOOK! The Shroobs are aliens, after all.
Also Nightmare has saucers in the anime, so you could see Antasma sell to the shroobs new improved shroob saucers but turn out they have a device in them which allow Antasma to instantanly control the saucers.
Would be a nice excuse about why he need Vim, he say to the shroobs that it's to power his machines but turn out it's actually to restore himself as well.
This also change Midbus's role, at first he would seem to have become good serving as the spokeman of the enterprise but then turn out he is now working for Antasma.
