I want more details on Killer vs Hawkins. Finally a fight where the outcome is open storywise. I trust completely in my boy killer, but this fight will be top notch.
That is probably a good point to start up the debate overall about the way how Oda handle the war so far.
Manythings as that most outcome of battles are clear and predictable for everyone. In case i feeling like Oda putting to many characters on this raid and don't know to handle the situation. The build up for multiple fractions yet so many characters didn't get the chance to proof anything.
Best example Denjiro,Izo,Kawamatsu, all 3 are free and I doubt that they go the rooftop again so what is the point to bring these characters back if you not give them any fight anymore? Same for Law crew, Bepo and the other two are in the war but we literally not see any battle for these characters even though Oda thinking to have these 3 in the war beeing important(only Law members in the war so far).
At worst Kid crew literally don't take any screentime,no Wire or Heat action just nothing. So many characters and so many potential but Oda clearly fail to put them into a perfect mission. Having so many characters could open up some great concept of a war who wasn't like the usually Shonen war concept.
Shonen usually concept for wars:
Character A/Character B
1.A beating B where the war is to one sided for a fraction to a point when the fights are to predictable(right now the raid and the outcome off most shonen wars).
2.B beating A, A making a comeback and beating B later in a second war(Bleach with the sternritter who destroy first Yamato and his troup and get defeated later, even though the war had many twist again which didn't make the fights so much predictable)
3. A beating B, B Beating A, scenario where everyone can beat everyone,where even heroes losing and need to learn about the the lose, from both sides characters can lose or win, in case this open up more fights and better perspective and making the battle unpredictable(Kingdom)
This raid so far doesn't feel much different like DR or Fishmen island so far for me outside of Kaido Asswhopping many characters. Yes we have far more characters but Oda didn't change his concept not like what we see in Marineford who was like scenario 3. What I imagine in a war is not a one side battles but that is what it is. Sad for characters like Law crew or even Kid crew to shine too before the Strawhats take all the glory shine in next arcs.
The opportunity for a different war concept was given and probably Oda could still use it, but I doubt that he do it at this point.
Om pretty sure Killer going to win the battle.
For me Hawkins make a big mistake who going to cost his win. And im pretty sure Killer is using the trick to beat Hawkins.
Since the Flying six fights are really done, how the users here did view the battles so far, did they enjoy it?
