My rankings for the fights, choreography wise. So I’m not dropping or raisinf fights for having poor plot behind it.

And keep in mind I expect more from certain characters than others, so say, I expect more from a fight with Zoro/Sanji than Franky/Robin, and my rankings reflect that.

(Luffy vs Kaido)
Zoro vs King
Robin vs Black Maria

I think were all very good, for a One Piece fight anyway. And still more to come with Luffy, but anytime he’s went one vs one with Kaido it’s been good. Might turn into a horror, but I think it’ll be good.

Kid and Law vs Big Mom
Killer vs Hawkins
Jinbei vs WW

Were all pretty good. K/L vs BM had a good last chapter to finish it off, which is always good when you stick the landing. Jinbei vs WW was just a really nice, solid fight, good action, good choreography, if WW had been stronger I’d put it higher. And Killer vs Hawkins was really cool and it’s only so low because we didn’t get enough of it, only a chapter

Franky vs Sasaki

Is sort of in its own category, was decent, would have been in the above category with another chapter.

Sanji vs Queen
Inu and Neko vs Jack and Perospero
Nami and Usopp (feat Big Mom) vs Ulti and Page One

Were all shit fights. Really just didn‘t have much going for them at all. I expect a lot better from a Calamity fight than what those two were (I also expect Sanji fights to have better choreography, or just any choreography) and Oda just shit the bed entirely with the bottom two.

I would also add in Hyogoro Vs Orochi's men to this list for no reason other than it felt so pointless and underdeveloped.

Literally all it needed was just a few Panels of Hotei and Co beating the shit out of The Yakuza for it to be a lot more meaningful. Maybe also make Hotei a Gimmicky Karakuri user to establish him as a "False" Samurai

I don’t even count that as a fight lol, it’s just some random waste of a chapter about some characters that nobody cares about that happened in the middle of the arc.

A glorified version of Sanji and Jinbei vs Hamlet and Fourtricks

Zoro's fight is bad. He is getting 90% beaten in the fight and discovers King's trick, activates the asspull and defeats him...
Luffy gets beaten as well and its because both get near death fights



Luffy and zoro fights are better because of multiple reasons

1)Oda flesh out their opponents way better in comparison to other fights. This element was missing not only in case of Queen but also in case of BM


2)both get near death fights and have to find a way to overcome their limits to win

3)Fight lasts for good number of chapters

4)Fight involved well drawn panels and well designed moves with barrage of moves going back and forth

5)Oda often give some sort of background context to their fights

I find myself pretty forgiving of a lot of stuff that happens with One Piece. But I agree that Nami and Usopp's fight were the worst this arc. Mostly because Big Mom hand gift wrapped the wins to them through mothering mode.

I wanted to see another Alabasta moment with Usopp where he gets the win through cleverness and tenacity. Though maybe he'll get his moment later.

And for Nami there wasn't really wasn't a reason for Big Mom to nerf Ulti. Maybe it was to give Nami a power up, but there are better ways to do that.

Quite a shame as the 2v2 fight had a lot of potential.

there's no such thing as a fight, where a character is beaten in practically 90% of the screen and then soles the other, it's practically fairy tail level.

did you like it? did you think it was good? It's your problem, people tend to like crap... I'm more judicious

And I'll tell you what, Luffy's fight against Katakuri is one of the most horrible things I've ever read in a shounen manga.
