-there’s too many Scabbards. They should have been compressed down to like seven, along with the other Wano natives (what was the point in Hotei?). And the Minks.
-the Beast Pirates should have really just been Kaido, the Calamities and the Tobi Roppo, we don’t really need ten numbers and a host of headliners either.
-Oda doesn’t look like he really knew what to do with Drake, Apoo and Hawkins. Killer to a lesser extent.
-the Big Mom Pirates did not fit into the arc well.
I’ve actually had very few issues with Tama which seems a rare opinion.
But yeah. There’s a cast of like fifty characters here all seriously vying for screentime. Ten Strawhats, ten Scabbards, ten Beast Pirates, five Worst Gen, two Minks, two BM Pirates, Momo, Yamato, Hiyori, Hyogoro, Fukurokujo, Tama, Otoko, that Tengu guy, the list goes on… it’s too much.
That’s been the biggest issue in the arc and really should have been slashed down.
