Questions & Mysteries Does any shonen manga have WORSE worldbuilding than One Piece?

Bro, it's wild for you to compare Berserk's worldbuilding to Star Wars. Go read about worldbuilding before making huge statements like that.
Um…

You do realize Miura said SW was one of his biggest inspirations? There’s a reason why he drew Puck as stormtroopers and Yoda lol.

Also, the worldbuilding comparison is not my take, they literally follow the same style lol. Here’s a thread on it if you’re interested:

I know he liked star wars. But the way I see it, the his worldbuilding is very different from what that movies have done. Not shitting on star wars, it's just different.

Just because Berserk doesn't do worldbuilding like ASOIAF or One Piece it doesn't mean it's unimpressive. The world feels alive and things happen outside of the main characters. There's not one specific way to write worldbuilding, but I do think Miura did a great job with it.

Dude, Miura in that thread literally said he uses Disney productions as a guide to his worldbuilding. And I’ll find it in a bit but I believe there’s also literally a quote where he attributes direct inspiration to Revenge of the Sith specifically.

Like Berserk is great (I literally OWN the entire manga), but that doesn’t mean it does EVERY aspect of story telling well since it pretty blatantly does not. This is a weird trap that I see people fall into.

And frankly, I actually disagree with the thread I shared, I just wanted to show you the quote from Miura, I think there’s good worldbuilding and bad worldbuilding, “soft worldbuilding” just seems like cope.

Listen, Star Wars was not a Disney property back then, so that doesn't count.

As of me, if you wanted my professional opinion, I think the world building is very good. Call it cope if you like.

Berserk does not have good worldbuilding.

And the idea of evil chapter was made non-canon for a reason.

Power system is apart of worldbuilding chief.

I don’t know why you’re bring up Chainsaw Man since that ALSO has bad worldbuilding.
Then which manga ever have a good worldbuilding ?

Pretty easy really, name me one time in the entire 1000+ chapters of One Piece where a character has any desires of specific devil fruit powers being manifested. The fact that Oda has no prior development of that screams that he wrote it out his ass last minute hence why we consider it bad writing. At some point, your reveals have to be developed prior. Imagine Itachi story had no prior development where we got no backstory of Itachi and his father and the clans issues with the leaf leadership and a few hundred chapters later we get the reveal that Itachi was saving his brother, wouldn't you consider that to be bad writing?

At some point, the author has to do with his homework instead of waiting last minute to turn in his assignment.
Vegapunk's desire theory so far only explains why the devil fruits have very specific and weird powers, but hasn't actually explained where devil fruits come from or how they appear in the world, who is granting these desires?
Which is why i said we don't have all the info yet.

People are acting as if, if someone wishes for a power, the fruit just materializes in front of them out of thin air which isn't at all what has been said so far.

He ruin my favorite manga and he didn't even care about it
All he care just about money and marketing
He hyped me and then he lied and you know what the worst part is? the blind fans is still cheering for him like nothing ever happened

Look oda is a mess
He need someone to replace him
Or otherwise One piece will fallin more
Oda, how dare you ruin the master piece of the great Eiichiro Oda! I will never forgive you, Eiichiro Oda!

If you want good worldbuilding, read a novel.
One Piece's worldbuilding is amazing. ANd anyone saying otherwise is either ignorant about storytelling or coming from bad faith.

I'm serious guys, keep trashing One Piece's narrative qualities and I'm going full Nakama thread on you all on each one of you threads!

You might know what I can do when I support the narrative potentiality of one character but you don't know what I'm capable of when I start dissecting an entire story. It's another level.

And if you don't know, ask the guys in the current Nakama thread.

:lusnipe:

So to listen to actual GOOD narrative analysts, stop the BS and read One Piece, you don't necessarily need a novel to get good quality content.

The actual f*ck ?! Do you know how to read ?

The point of Boa's power is to bring out the perveted nature in all humans. What is happeneing here is just a reflection of real life put on a page with dark humor: Everyone can be a trash, no one is safe.

Take a good nap, you need rest dude. And get the f*ck away from One Piece. You sir have problems.
