General & Others Was WCI one of the best arcs of One Piece?

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Some parts were great some werent, I would have preferred if smoothie got a better showing for example

Let's be honest. Smoothie being useless is one of the major downplay of WCI arc.

 

[thedarkdragon11]

For me it's just an average arc... I find Jaya arc better...

 

[serkeara]

one of the worst. I forgot OP for a while during that time.

Tama taming Gifters, Whitebeard not knowing Kaido is in Wano, Oden is alive, etc.)

How is it a plot hole that Whitebeard only learnt Kaido's location after the fact? Wano is an isolated country, a perfect base.

Tama was always shown to be able to tame gifters.

We don't know what the reveal at the end of last chapter was. Its probably a fake out.

 

[Monster Luffy]

WCI was good arc if not best. Wano is the worst ever arc in one piece.

 

[Finalbeta]

WCI was good arc if not best. Wano is the worst ever arc in one piece.

Any reasons for such bold claims?

WCI felt pretty annoying to me during several portions. The Katakuri v Luffy clash was fancy however and so the moments seeing Big Mom trying to capture the SHs and her small clash with them.

Wano however tastes better under so many layers, and it's not just about consistency of the plot.

Oden could have told WB or Roger about Kaido and Orochi but no.

Tama was always shown to be able to tame gifters.

Yes but Usopp is the one that helps her to do the job properly.

We don't know what the reveal at the end of last chapter was. Its probably a fake out.

Either that or Oda is a pussy when it comes to killing characters.

I liked WCI until Luffy and Sanji met, after thaf it went downhill with the unnecessary danger of the tea party. They coukd have escaped easily the night before since they accomplished everything they had to. The rest of the arc had its moments, like Luffy vs Kata and Jinbeis awesomeness, but it was unnecessary drag out imo

 

[Lion of Olympus]

Hell. No.

 

[RayanOO]

IWCI first half was the last time I was really hyped for One piece weekly

 

[JazzMazz]

Oden could have told WB or Roger about Kaido and Orochi but no.

How? He had no contact with the outside world. He had no way to contact the outside world.

Yes but Usopp is the one that helps her to do the job properly.

And how is this a plot hole?

Either that or Oda is a pussy when it comes to killing characters.

I'm not going to deny that Oda is definitely a pussy when killing off characters(he is), but I think this is definitely a fake out reveal.

 

[Gnomishness]

If we consider that the entirety of Wholecake was essentially a setup arc for Wano, I'd even go as far as to say that it might be the best arc in the series. Suddenly, within a single plot line, the entire focus of one piece, as a series where numbers don't matter and aren't threatening, and where obviously all plans are doomed to fail, gets turned on it's head. Suddenly, Wano speculation about certain factions, certain crews, certain individuals changing sides, all becomes relevant. The entire concept of a Yonko Crew is finally understood, and one piece arcs can finally be given their "endgame window dressing".

That the actual standalone plot line managed to be even slightly satisfying after all of that setup it needed to do, definitely goes to show how masterfully it was all executed.

 

[HA001]

It was ass.

 

[JazzMazz]

It was pretty good.

Its not the best arc ever, but its certainly a very good one.

Lots of cool emotional stuff, and it has an interesting structure. Some elements aren't terribly great. Didn't care for the seducing woods.

 

[Aranjb96]

Of course. It had a fun setting in Totland, and we got to know more about Sanji's backstory. We havent had such a personal story inside the crew in a while. WCI and Zou fit so well inside Wano and Dressrosa.

 

[Kuroemon]

Reading it in a whole rather than weekly is so much better for me... Sanji made wedding cake story make so much sense to me.
One of the best ?? Ehh maybe, but still better than thriller bark arc, god i hate that arc so much

 

[Screws Loose242]

Wci is my second favorite arc hands down, I love germa raid suit I be dreaming about dat,

 

[Flagandhat]

In my opinion, yes, it was a good arc. No perfect, but a very good one !

 

[Manoomar2000]

After watching WCI two times i realised it was a masterpiece
The contrast between the themes and the true nature of tutto land was really great
Big mom introduction song with perfect
It showed us what kind of person is big mom
The devil contract is what between big mom and her people
The concept of tea party that is the must brutal thing in one piece
And the arc had pretty good writing
The most creative arc in a shonen manga
I give it 9.5/10 easily . Perfect arc

 

[HA001]

It was shit.
