Character Discussion One Piece fans that mocked Naruto for destiny bull shit look like clowns now

Recieving the hat. Son of Dragon and Garp. Roger iconic laugh at execution and lightning striking when Luffy's about to be executed. I think it was pretty clear Luffy was special from start.

Though that doesn't help avoid the criticism. The Roger, Nika and Joy boy parallels have gotten so repetitive,, it's ruined Luffy's character.
Zoro's parallels with Rayleigh and Ryuma is also not likeable writing.​

It was mostly fans who preached that shit. Luffy has always been presented as a highly blessed kid. The Child of Prophecy thing is new but we were never told anything that isn't consistent with what's been happening now. But it's a different story for Naruto; Kishi contradicted what he preached so the criticism was well deserved.
Kishimoto did not contradict what he preached. Naruto through hard work became strong and realized his blessings that is why naruto did not get a big head but understood that being hokage was about getting the acceptance of people to serve them. Luffy on the other hand feels 1 dimensional. You have to dumb yourself down to enjoy him.

Again think heavily before speaking about the grestest character in all of manga: Naruto Uzumaki

Nothing wrong with parallels here and there
But the way oda going with luffy too far the one thing luffy had was his ass fruit HE made good
Now it's gonna be the god god fruit and luffys been destined to do what he's doing to the second for centuries
And if he's destined to do it he has no real choice or freedom
Which goes against what is supposed to be his character

When it was revealed that Naruto was a reincarnation of Ashura, and everything he’d done had been pre-destined, people lost their fucking minds.

“What happened to themes of willpower and effort overcoming adversary?!!”

“The appeal of Naruto being a protagonist who overcame more powerful antagonists with creativity and effort is ruined!!”

Does any of this sound familiar?

It should, because what happened with Naruto’s character is literally happening to Luffy before our very eyes.

For an entire decade, One Piece fans have shit on Naruto for the MC becoming a tool of destiny.

This is a bruh moment of epic proportions.
:ihaha:
Thats why i like the current Luffy less than the previous version of Luffy, since theres a notion that CoC is determined by birth and VoAT and Joy Boy etc

Walk me through the endeavour Naruto had to go through to go from a Kage level fighter to the demi-God that he was at the end of the war.

It is not about powerlevels , it is about naruto getting the acknowledgement of everyone as a ninja and walking a valuable path. Being strong required that but it was not the fundamental thing. Itachi told naruto so and everyone knew.

Naruto could have been another madara or worse another gaara but he chose not to. Even though naruto's training paid off he did not abuse his blessings and did everything to save rock lee because naruto understood what it meant to have a broken dream.

Naruto uzumaki is the goat. Luffy is a boring one dimensional character who says ill be pirate king and people are drawn to be amazed at him. They are not the same

What exactly did this prove?

That Luffy doesn't have the most overpowered fruit? Nothing changed, Luffy's devil fruit isn't even top 20 in this verse.
This is a bad take given current information.
  • Who's Who was punished severely for losing the Gomu Gomu no Mi.
  • The Gorosei implied that Luffy's Devil Fruit is legendary.
    • So legendary in fact that the World Government changed its name.


The Gomu Gomu no MI is likely a Top 10 Devil Fruit now.

Luffy was always a chosen child of destiny and One Piece has always had themes of fate. If there were One Piece fans that thought otherwise then the L is theirs, not Oda's.
Luffy is a broken main character. Luffy is such a bad mc that he needs other people to constantly say how great he is and this has been overloaded ever since post timeskip.

One piece was about people realizing their dreams now it is about sun nika god convoluted garbage where luffy has to fulfil his fate. Luffys fate contradicts with his notion of being free. What is even worse is that people start calling luffy a hero and luffy disagrees. LUFFY DOES NOT GIVE 2 FKING SHEETS ABOUT HIS OWN FATE.

Naruto on the other hand always wanted to be acknowledged and walk through a valuable path. Powerlevels do nothing to narutos character

There were just too many Oda dick riders back then. So you had people exaggerating his work and defaming others. Now there are less Oda dick riders because people realizing Oda wasn't as good as they thought. Most people are waking up to see that Oda isn't as good as they thought he was.

Most of One Piece fans are hypocrites.
Go see Reddit if you want to see all those Oda dick riders. Fucking annoying as hell....

they will try to come up with thousands of excusing to cover for Oda blunders. they try to make connections and foreshadowing and over analyzing were their really isn't anything like that to be done. the lengths they go to praise the shit out of Oda so fucking ridiculous.
