Spoiler One Piece Chapter 1007 Spoilers Discussion

[Paperchampion23]

Were there people saying things like Franky>Sanji back then? Or maybe Robin is on Zoro's level. lol

Maybe before Enies lobby, idk. When Sanji fought Wanze and Franky fought Nero, I could have seen people trolling, and even worse when he lost to Kalifa and Franky beat Fukuro. That immediately should have died the moment he wrecked Jabra though

I don't recall powerscaling being as suffocating as it is now, but I could be wrong. I never cared about it. OP is unpowerscalable anyway

It was always there. Just not to the current extent however, there really weren’t that many hardcore fanboys or haters back then.

Powerlevels were barely relevant back then. It was Marineford that started all the Powerlevel debates

It takes a lot of analyzing comics to get the depth of Oda's sequential storytelling

One Piece really isn't a complex story.

The genius of Oda is, that he knows how to present his themes in a simple and graphic way so that even casual fans, who don't have much experience or skill in interpreting art/literature, are able to identify and interpret them.

The streets need the full source for your avi my brotha

Where that guy was crying about spoilers on twitter, down the page

Yes, he will play the Lola of the arc by powering up Luffy

True

I’d say Marineford and the timeskip were the big catalysts to annoying powerscaling because that’s when breaking islands became the thing.

It’s like people forget, Blackbeard one that war by not participating in it and biding time

 

[Peroroncino]

Wait, was it ever confirm that that bewitching fox can transform into any person he likes?

no but its part of japanese mythology that foxes can transform into people

What about the Doriki Chapter? How did people react to that?

 

[Paperchampion23]

The powerlevel discussions pretty much started because:

- Mihawk tried slashing WB and Joz blocked it (que Trolls)

- Mihawk and Vista clashing

- Marco hit Kizaru a few times and blocked those attacks

- Joz made Aokiji bleed

- Whitebeard curb stomped Akainu after killing Ace, whom he defeated easily.

- Ace by virtue of his power could hold off Aokiji but not Akainu, fanbase argued about that repeatedly.

- Luffy being fundamentally powerless for 30 chapters and received help (was a good thing)


It just Jumpstarted a bunch of ridiculous discussions about powerlevels all because Oda wanted to tease upper tier characters and their strength, to gear us for the New World plotlines.

OP as a story is an N/A as far as complexity goes because it's not complete. But yes it's aimed at like a 10-14 year old crowd if that's what you mean.

What I meant was in regards to Midnight saying the fights suck. From a technical standpoint Oda is a high level graphic storyteller even if the story is pretty obvious... like he's not going to lose to Kaido as a final outcome, for example.

What about the Doriki Chapter? How did people react to that?

“Ugh Odas bringing Dragon ball power levels into this. What a dumb idea.” Plus ruder versions of this

Did they not realise Oda was making fun of DBZ style Powerlevels?

You overestimate us manga readers

Wow lol, sounds like the vibes was slightly different back then, Enies Lobby was in 2005? 2006? Do you think the forums from back then are still up?

Arlong Park is down atm. They shut down every month or so, they struggle to stay online

I’d be shocked. With how much traffic naruto forums get I’m sure they deleted old ones

If APForums actually comes back (temporarily down), that started in 2005. You can read spoilers from like chapter 360 onward.
