The baiting Room

[Indigo]

Endeavor is one of the most-interesting and well-written characters in Shonen in YEARS, IMO. He and Dabi have carried arcs for me.

I think Deku, Bakugou and Shigaraki all had amazing potential

they were all great twists in the formula

Bakugu being like the Sasuke / Vegeta character, that doesn't turn at any moment

Shigaraki being a villain that starts weaker alongside the main hero and we follow his growth at the same time

and Deku was also very interesting, how much weaker and less capable with his own powers and abilities compared to the rest of the class

but i think the execution of all these 3 characters have not lived up to their potential

and i think part of that came from Horikoshi burning out from MHA

 

[Meeyori]

Ahhh, so I was kinda right!

Yesssss, I was a big fan of Mackenyu before he was casted as Zoro. When I first saw the rumors about it going around i actually felt hope for the adaptation 😆

Look I’m gonna be honest here
Zoro using adv CoC was stupid
20 chapters ago he didn’t even knew that he has CoC
but this is not only Zoro's problem, it’s a general problem in OP
Luffy got a power up after power up because he "understood" some things and had flashbacks
Zoro too
Sanji too
It’s just stupid writing

I agree about it being a general problem, but I disagree with Sanji being in it... his evolution is palpably and ironically, it's fair to the character and his own evolution, plus the human modification was introduced and explained... i

it would be forced, like, sanji wakes up coc in less than 10 minutes and goes off blasting the guys

zoro discovered that he had CoC, after 10 minutes he was already using his advanced form, not even in fairy tail this happens

I'm reading One Punch Man right now, i'm at chapter 80

and even though i've already saw the first two seasons of the anime

the manga is something else

that art is incredible man

there's so many panels where i just stop and keep looking at the drawing, Yusuke Murata is a fucking genius

Murata's art is incredible man.

 

[Cross_Marian]

Giving Conqueror's Haki out to more and more people in general is stupid
Why in the world does Kid have it

It’s logical that Kidd and Zoro have it
They have both "kingly" ambitions and Kidd is supposed to be Luffy's rival
The main problem is Oda's writing and execution of some plot points
Oda can’t write good rivalries

 

[mmd]

Because I wasn't there when the spoilers came, I have to compensate now

 

[Light D Lamperouge]

I binged it in 2016 until chapter 224 I think
I miss those times

Imma start forgetting the story brah..

Some of his panel sequencing is more or less key frames, Murata is on another level.

no one cares

reality? quoted me

Yes, Sanji is more logical but his whole fight with Queen was meh
The execution was disappointing
That’s just my opinion.

 

[GoldDiamond]

never happening

i swear to god, the amount of people that say Oda will do horrible things to Mihawk can't understand he won't ruin Zoro's dream just like that

If Mihawk is killed, defeated or captured before Zoro

i would legit quit One Piece

and you can quote me on that, if it legit happens

there's a reason he said

"I will await you at the top"

He’s getting captured he’s not relevant enough to be in the final war and do nothing

Reread the last 10 chapters every month

Murata's art is incredible man.

It's out of this world

i love when he does that "perspective" blur thing

like a Camera without focus on somethings that are on the back or the front

i don't even know how to explain

it's amazing

he is drawing camera effects

and his panelling is always top notch

those 5~6 pages, showing this massive labyrinth that was the aliens ship and just zooming in on it panel by panel, to finally show Saitama there in the middle was so funny

and because his art is so detailed and incredible in a lot of other stuff

the simple nature of Saitama jumps even more from the drawing

it's truly masterful

 

[rubblerust]

Even if fake those are good because Yamato does not join.

Not fake unless EdenBooby on Twitter is suddenly unreliable. Also Luffy's answer is not given so maybe she does join?

 

[Fuckthis3]

Ayyy thanks for title @TheAncientCenturion

Did you just finish watching a Morj video?
The rival thing feels extremely forced with Kidd, Law is supposed to be his rival too (set up in Sabaody after the auction house bust) but he just kind of tags along.
Also every hillbilly pirate wanting to become Pirate King after Roger died technically has kingly ambitions too, and Oda doesn't give all of them Haki. I don't know how many people live in the One Piece world but I assume not too many since most live in small villages. Wasn't Conqueror's Haki supposed to be a one in a million thing? Now it feels like everyone gets it just because we advance more and more into the story.

Oda can’t write good rivalries

I agree, see the aforementioned Luffy-Kid-Law thing

That's a good idea tbh.

Man. When he drew one guy, trying not to spoil you lol, for the first time I got goosebumps. You'll see when you get there. Sometimes he even colours the panels, or add effects to them.

Look I’m gonna be honest here
Zoro using adv CoC was stupid
20 chapters ago he didn’t even knew that he has CoC

Luffy got a power up after power up because he "understood" some things and had flashbacks
Zoro too
Sanji too
It’s just stupid writing

I understand this point. Haki blooms in hard fights, so that's why Zoro got stronger, IMO: he fought against two Yonkou in a group, then soloed a YC1. But, even if it makes sense, I don't know if it's the best writing. I wish Zoro and Luffy had gotten a bit of CoC training before the Raid.

Its like the issues with Enies lobby but much worse.

As much as I love Robins new power/form, it feels completely random with the demonic form she seemed to take? It fits how she has been portrayed/depicted in the OP world itself and it might be a deliberate nod to Kali as well as as the demon from Nightmare on Bald Mountain or w/e but it still felt so random and out of place for me?

Even Franky suddenly reveals this new plasma energy sword or w/e out of nowhere? Did he develop it during his time in Wano or just never used it before now but had it all this time since the TS? At least it seemed like that anyway? Wiki says its a regular sword slash but it felt like something like plasma energy somehow, a sort of "lightsaber" even or energy sword and thats why he could damage Sasaki in the end? Also Sasakis stomach being more vulnerable/exposed like other animals ofc but still lol.
Maybe it was just Franky using his sword normally as usual but I saw it wrong I guess?

I love Ifrit Jambe so I purposely won't criticise it but Zoro suddenly getting Advc/Infused CoC suddenly like that made no sense, unless somehow he knew/saw Mihawk do it? Idk. As you said, he didnt even know he had CoC and he even got mad/denied it when Brook though it was his CoC early on in the raid?

If I'm being brutally honest, Zoro post TS has felt more like Erza especially in this arc and not in a good way.

The worst offender is Usopp awakening CoO in Dressrosa and it never being relevant again so far.

Ironically speaking of Enies Lobby, we learned of Asura and Diable Jambe back then and we still don't have proper explanations for what they are, why they can use them. DJ could have been friction as we suspected but it doesnt explain why Sanji can ignite himself at will now, not even just his leg but whole body too? Plus his emotions/anger fuelling the flames literally too? They got compared to Kings flames but it turned out to be bait/a red herring too frustratingly.
