The potential that One piece has in world-building and ongoing plot points that were mystery's for years is massive and unreal. Basically, as long as those things are a mystery to us we are hooked up with OP and excited, but Oda disappointed with the reveal of those plot points very often. Unfortunately Wano is the arc were a lot of mysteries are getting revealed, so this arc is dragging it down as well. Just look at the chosen one Joyboy plot.
Oda never truly disappointed us in END of the day
just count the number of iconic moments one piece created during all of this years
again ... I'm not a wano fan ... just judging one piece cause of Wano wired pacing shouldn't be a reason to disqualify ONE PIECE as a titan, only Wano
Well the main theme of Kingdom after all is the unification of China, so each major war kinda leads to the greater plan.
Sei's "battle" of words with Ryofui has been one of the best conversations in manga history. Chapters like that makes me put Kingdom on that Berserk/Monster tier.
yes Kingdom have qualities that one piece don't , and vice versa ...
I'm not saying one piece is better at any point of time or each and every single moment ...
but at least in terms of plot ... so far 70% of Kingdom plot to me was battel of strategies and who will attack who from where and when or why
I LOVE THIS ... I can't love this enough ... if you remember on Kingdom threads ... I demanded this type of actions :)
so I'm not complaining
and while clash of strategies are interesting as fuck ... it's not really plot ... and all of the plots in each arc is so massively focused
that's why Kingdom plot can't even compare itself to One Piece ...
and it SHOULDN'T cause I doubt Kingdom could've work if we had a massive plot like one piece
I really don't enjoy One Piece Vs Kingdom argument cause I love them both
but
at the end of the day ...
Wano might go down as a bad arc with bad plot and villain ... not one piece itself
