I cannot for the life of me remember a story arc in any form of fiction to have such a ridiculously stupid ending than “the bad guy gets thrown into a volcano and ambiguously vanishes”
This literally borders on the end of a Tom and jerry skit but at least with those you know the next episode will start and all those events will not matter. In One Piece, RIGHT NOW, we literally don’t know the fates of two of the strongest people in the universe. They just vanished.
Oda had to use the fuckin narrator to just tell us the audience that Wano will be fine and that’s the only reason we know that Kaido didn’t just crawl out of the volcano and kill everyone.
This isn’t even the telling instead of showing type of bad writing: it’s literally Oda himself coming out of the manga and telling the reader to shut the fuck up.
I know we all just want to move on to the next thing but it’s beyond awful how disrespectful to the audience Oda actually is with this stunt. I cannot let this go. I now read One piece knowing Oda can in fact pull this at any time now. It’s a spectre that will haunt this story to its end.
