It's funny how everyone was expecting much more of the Tobiroppo's fights, especially Who's Who vs Jinbei, "Don't worry Who's Who is not done yet"
Even more for Sanji vs Queen and Zoro vs King
Oda simply crushed everyones expectations
As Morj said, we should expect Wano to be awesome, so we are going to guide our minds to believe that regardless of anything else.
Since Queen showed the ability to use Germa abilities, i was like "Holy shit this will be the best fight in the series", the potential was so big, everyone was theorizing about Queen using the Ice Oni on himself then using Reiju's powers to remove the side effects and only boost his strength, then we still had Judge's electromagnetic powers...
King was basically offscreened for the whole arc, "King the Background" was quite popular here. Then he lasts the same as Queen did, Oda rushed every single thing about King in one fucking chapter with a few well drawed panels, "BRUUHH THE RIGHT HAND WOW", his race is more important than the character itself.
Not even going to mention Jack here ffs...
Can't people understand how much this drags down the arc??
It's like we shouldn't expect shit from Oda and his ability to draw the MCs battles anymore, but useless plots like "Tama and her Kibi dango", silhouettes, fake deaths supposed to be emotional, fake hype shit like "Evil Sanji", Big Mom being used as the most convenient and dumb plot device ever, lots of plots being introduced but not resolved, instead he adds more plots... none of those had an actual payoff. Why is Raizo vs Fukurokuju even happening, to wank Oden LMAO?
When you realize most of the battles have been happening offscreen is lame as hell.
This is so disappointing. And then we need to hear that "you built your expectations too high", when they were never matched to begin with.
At best Zoro surpassed some expectations, and we had good plots with Sanji, especially him destroying the Raid Suit and a few other stuff... But other than that, it's bad and im mad srry
