when did i ever say “pacing = paneling“?
if youre gonna reply please stop with the bad faith arguements…
And start by reading correctly the subject of my sentence before you jump on me. I was talking about composition in a panel. This has nothing to do with pacing.
yes there are PLENTY of wasted panels in almost every arc…doesn’t matter if you read it weekly or in bulk…colloseum in dressrosa (for example)will always be known for that Problem.
No, there are none. That's why One Piece is in fact such a powerfull manga. What you are confusing with bad quality here is the CHOICES behind the panels. The panels ALWAYS have a purpose. If it was not the case, they would not be drawn.
do you even know what it takes to be a WEEKLY mangaka?
it literally means cramming in filler panels and extra stuff in to make EACH chapter fairly exiting to read. Oda literally said in an interview about how the editors and readers were urging him to make chptr 1000 exciting Rather than than drawing things out how they would naturally go…if he did(like oda said) 1000 wouldve been like any ordinary chapter.
I think you have a very low appreciation of this work. To think that an author just "cram" filler panels is quite telling about your degree of analysis.
You need to understand that EVEN if Oda adds content that he did not previously imagine and EVEN if this content is less important than the rest (
which happens nearly never) the panels leading to this content
are always meaningfull. Why ? Because to write good content, even if that content is not important you need to go through the SAME process you go when you write amazing content.
You are
confusing completely narration and panel composition. In the same way (but this is actually another debate) your argument saying that Oda is losing time on fodder is everything but a reality. Everything Oda do in his story works to enhance something he wants to say. Sometimes, you can't see the big picture until it's finish. That's why I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry to listen to youtubers and those wanabee analyst on their take on the story. 90% of the time, they don't see the big picture. (I'm saying that because you are using their same exact rethoric).
The fact that Oda is being urged to advance or to slow down won't negate in ANY WAY his process.
Ive read a few of your posts here and it seems like you honestly just have a huge confirmation bias in favor of carrot.
things like you HYPER ANALYZING that ONE panel of carrot after counless chapters of her absence is very telling…
What I did what in fact pretty basic, their was no "hyper analysis". This kind of deconstruction can be done with literally EVERY panels of the manga. This is no rocket science.
Exactly, so don't make it like I just tried to discover a new planet here.
A sniper needs to be able to find, or lookout if you will, his targets. Carrot could have acted as a spotter, but she seemed just fine standing around doing nothing. Viola on the other hand actually did act as a spotter, at least until Usopp developed his Observation Haki.
Yes, Carrot could have done it but choosed not to act. You just discovered that Carrot is not a strawhat yet and there has no obligation to actually do the work. Congrats.
He also said that Inuarashi and Nekomamushi must survive as they will be needed for the Dawn. I'm also curious what you consider the tool that Carrot, and only Carrot, has that makes her necessary for Luffy bringing the Dawn.
I don't know yet, nobody does. So this question is irrelevant.
1) Luffy has shared plenty of food with others, especially during all of the post-arc parties.
Give me at least 5 exemples with panels please.
2) I guess Luffy didn't consider Chopper a friend since he never said his actual name once during Drum Island arc.
Hm interesting! I did not read this part of the story for a long time and you are right, even tho Luffy clearly calls Chopper his friend and even Nakama, he is still using that "surname". I'm making quote here because I still think that "Reindeer" and "YamaO" can really be consider the same type of nickname. But.. granted.. without more evidence I can't hold that nickname thing against Yamato anymore. So you win this argument.
3) I wouldn't really consider roll call the height of counting on someone, even more so when Brulee was also on that list. Hell, he counted on Brulee more during Whole Cake than he did Carrot, and Brulee was even instrumental in his victory against Katakuri.
This was clearly a strong moment. And this is not the only time Luffy is glad to count on Carrot. Remember, she conquered the mirror world with Chopper and the reaction of Luffy was clear as crystal.
4) That's true of people Luffy barely even met. He was ready to throw down against Foxy when he shot a horse he met 2 seconds ago.
Good point, but this is not a play on comedy. Luffy hits gear 2 after the hit of Katakuri on Carrot, this is not comparable.
Luffy barely acknowledged Carrot even in Whole Cake. Luffy has shown more concern about Yamato in this one arc than he has for the entirety of Carrot's existence, and Yamato showed that she cared about what Luffy thought of her more than Carrot has. Luffy told Yamato to hold back when she was gung-ho about fighting Kaido, entrusted her with protecting Momo and Shinobu (which she was ecstatic to take on a task for Luffy and prove herself to him), and Luffy was happy to see Yamato had stalled Kaido and that she was letting him take over the fight. I actually think the last time Luffy spoke to Carrot was when he was doing roll call, which does not speak much of their relationship. And that was him just saying her name, I can't recall the two having an actual 1-on-1 dialogue at all in the entire series.
Again, wrong. Luffy only cared about Yamato because she forced him too. He didn't care, in fact he was frustrated. Luffy consider Yamato as an ally, Carrot is a close friend for him. Even he hasn't stated a clear interest in her, the dynamic don't lie.
It's another panel where Carrot shows no actual drive or introspection of her own, just following orders of her fellow minks. It would mean something if she got an actual thought bubble of literally anything, let alone some concern of something like "I hope the Straw Hats are okay."
This panel doesn't mean anything more that "CArrot is still in the game" .. you are trying to make me a over analyser when there is no ground for it. I'm not connecting this panel to the strawhat or even her joining the crew, I'm connecting this panel to her relevancy in the story, that's all. Don't go too far.
He's not going to listen to anybody, He's basically a Cultist. Anything you can say that goes against him just means that you aren't "smart" enough or have read as much as he has. Or some sort.
He's small fry though.
Saying the one who has insulted me for two days.. but keep going, you will soon ask me the weither hehe
What the fuck you’ve been smoking? The panels you keep coping are there to show the aftermath of Law’s skill that affects the whole Onigashima so it absolutely fucking makes sense to bring in Law. Stop smoking so much dude
Ohhh that's why you are bringing Law.. okay.. but that was obvious. This has nothing to do with the subtext of the panel and it's composition (you know... the one thing I was talking about)
Only for mods to edit your comment out LMAO. And here you are, being shameless because you keep forcing your headcanon of Momo should be 8 all time because your dumb boring basic bunny’s chance is threatened every fucking chapter that is released. Mods should’ve been permanently ban you, because you’re nothing but a shameless master of bullshitting.
You can’t even counter it because you simply don’t have the common logic of Momo needs to grow up by himself. And did you read the part where I said I’m glad I’m childless instead of having useless child like you?
I reiterate what I said :
I wouldn't want to be the kid of someone who finds normal to put the world responsibility on a mentally 8 year old. That's toxic and I will repeat it if I have too. There is no insult in that.
(
And it would be nice for the mods not to suppress that type of denonciation of toxic behavior, thank you)
Momo is mentally 8 and NOTHING you will say will negate the fact that thinking that he should "man up" in every situation without guidance...
is wrong.
We don't grow by ourselves. That's a virilist view and a toxic one. We grow because of the influence of others, we grow because we have the courage to ask for help,
we grow because we are not alone.
And more moving goalposts. Not surprising since it’s you.
Nothing has been moved here. I just precised my statement ;)
And he asked why did I bring Law LMAO. Isn’t it obvious that the panel shows the people who are outside who are affected by Law’s awakening skill?
And he claimed he’s a fucking analyst. Really is joke of the year
That was the obvious message of the panel, I was talking about the subtext. Next.
So Luffy sharing food with Carrot, Luffy calling Carrot’s name correctly, are superficial things that are more important than how Luffy immediately trusted Yamato, the daughter of the main villain, to protect Momo, one of the most post timeskip characters who has been targeted by the main villain.
Yes, Luffy sharing food is a HUGE deal breaker. Because it takles the foundation of his characterization. And Luffy immediately trusted Carrot too.. I don't see your point here.
Luffy doesn't give a damn about Carrot.. Everytime she jumps on him he ignores her.. They never had meaningful interaction and never will..
Wrong, the story proves you different & Chapter 978 proves you wrong.
