Imagine if Shaka was the actual Vegapunk.
I remember when we used to think he was the real deal. Vegapunk 1, making calls with Dragon, etc.
His body structure even somewhat looks like the silhouette we saw from Kuma's flashback.
Would've been amazing.
But Oda has to insert goofiness into everything, fail. So we got a clown for Vegapunk.
I kinda don't mind the explanation that DF are from dreams, that parallels haki being from willpower/soul.
But Vegapunk honestly was the worst guy to give that goofy and vague explanation, especially since he recreated a mythical zoan DF which certainly wasn't from his dream lol.
Yeah exactly. Shakas line about going to die soon and his conversation with Dragon was really interesting but went nowhere, except CP0 trying to kill the Punks. Oda baited us with making us think Lilith was Vegapunk (as in the only one ofc) and then he gave us Shaka but then all the clones too (although Atlas appeared before Shaka ofc?).
People complained about too many characters before, especially the Scabbards and how they stole screentime and yet Oda was like why have 1 Vegapunk when we can have 6? I mean him spliting himself up into 6 different categories is a great concept, York is an amazing delegation of our unavoidable basic needs that lets him focus on his work more too (Magellan WISHES he had that too) but its still more characters and thus too many cooks.
We're not allowed to dislike One Piece and Oda's direction and choices though. We must love everything he does and produces, everything is better than we can and we are heathens, plebians who cannot appreciate his true greatness.
Vegapunks design wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt for the grotesque gigantic head and tongue, I would have loved his design aside from thoses things. Oda has to go to the extreme, like drawing his facial expressions now. It feels like when you turn up your character customisation sliders all the way in RPG games.
Whats the deal with Shakas face being hidden too? Is it gonna be some dramatic reveal and plot twist at some point or is it just there for the cool factor too? Just for style? So annoying lol.
If this arc wasn't dragging out so much like previous arcs and thus repeating the same mistakes as before the final saga, before the great story "restructuring" and Vegapunk being such a blatant letdown after 15 years at least or w/e of cockteasing to the extreme, I wouldn't be so bitter.
I thought he was already on ignore which is why I even relayed the message.
Anyway, I don't want to get in between you two. Was just a messenger😓
Aye thanks anyway. Don't worry about it. Not worth getting involved, its just between us really. I do have him on ignore again now but I had a feeling he might be talking shit so I checked the ignored posts to try and confirm.
