Break Week POLL: Due to not living up to the hype has Wano (including Onigashima) been the worst arc of OP

[bennbeckman]

Oda really hype up Wano, like my man @Seth has stated Wano has been a pretty trash can on an arc so far, and has definitely not lived up to the expectation Oda gave us. So I pose the question, has Wano been the worst arc.

 

[Roo]

No, but it’s not Marineford Enies Lobby. It’s just a longer Dressrosa

 

[Olimaat]

Fishman Island was worse

 

[bennbeckman]

For me when you have an extremely high expectation, and the arc falls extremely flat, that makes it the worst arc.

Some of the arcs just werent good, but I dont consider them the worst because there was no high ceiling for them

 

[Seth]

No, but it’s not Marineford Enies Lobby. It’s just a longer Dressrosa

I would say it's worse than Dressrosa and WCI already.

 

[bennbeckman]

Fishman Island was worse

FMI I agree was awful as well but..

For me it's expectation vs results

My example is if you invested 1 milliion dollars and lost 700K that's worse than if you invested 10K and lost all of it. That's how I view Wano and it's expectations from my perspective

Wano weekly has been better than Dressrosa and WCI were, two arcs that (Dressrosa especially) are very much getting the benefit of people rereading in bulk, or having read through it all at once.

Wano is not bad but it didn't live up to expectations.

 

[Salah WG]

The Final Volumes of Arabasta Arc, made the entire Saga look like Trash
So personally i'd wait for Ending of Wano, which should imo start after this Volume (After all Officers are Down)

Also it's not wise to judge an Arc based on Weekly Read (And many times, we have to wait for 2 Weeks instead)
Reading an Arc from Start to Finish without having to Wait is a Huge & Far Cry from Weakly Read

And tbh, i've never been Hyped for Wano, the Real Hype is for Post-Wano Era & Final Saga, Wano is just Build Up for The End

Entire act 2, Lolden flashback and now Onigashima raid made weekly experience even worse than Dressrosa and I say this as someone who couldn't enjoy Dressrosa weekly.

That's a reasonable argument. The reason I disagree with the comparrison is because the expectation for Wano far exceeded that of dressrosa

I do not judge it on that, I judge it based on what the expectation was prior to the arc starting and the current result.

We're 3 years into the arc and it's been quite underwhelming IMO

 

[IceWitch]

Wano has had some great moments. It all really depends on how Oda finishes the story.

I enjoyed Dressrosa but I can admit that there’s a section of the arc where it just drags, I have had that feeling regarding Wano multiple times in the arc

This perfectly sums it up

Differentiator is Dressrosa had a way lower expectation vs Wano

The amount of drag the side characters had is just a nuisance

The Weekly experience of Dressrosa was way worse, weeks of nothing happening

14 Ch LOLden flashback, along with terrible build up, an unnecessary amount of cliffhanging. Act 1-3 had a lot of additional wasted chapters. Udon, Tama plotline was and is terrible. This Momo crap is terrible. The one character they should have extended on which they did not in the worst way was Yasu. If Yasu and Zoro bonded more, would have made act 2 a hell of a lot better.

Also Shusui plotline was AWFULLLLLLL

 

[fanboy]

yes

 

[Jew D. Boy]

Your regular reminder that Wano will never be the worst arc in One Piece as long as WCI still exists

 

[Mezo]

This arc lives or dies based on its finale.
