Do you think One Piece is still redeemable? Somehow, someway? I agree with your examples listed.

I think if One Piece is gonna get better, now‘s the time it should happen.

Wano was pretty good at first in my opinion, until it got dragged out a lot and then it started being a matter of “When will it end?” as opposed to “I wish it would last a bit longer!” - That’s not the final impression you wanna leave on your readers.

There’s a lot of things that could’ve been done better during that arc, and I wish Oda considered those other aspects of his story. The Gear 5 reveal made it memorable, but not as memorable as it should’ve been.

For example, there was practically no reaction to Luffy’s 3 BILLION beri bounty. We got Shanks looking at his picture and that was pretty much it. :josad:

Ryokugyu’s reveal felt undercooked too, like as if he wasn’t supposed to be there but ended up being there anyway at the last minute. It was weird.
Oda doesn't give a fuck about what his fans think about the story, he's made that quite clear.

Gear 5's reveal was the best it could have been wtf are you chatting about.

There wasn't a lot of reactions to Luffys bounty because him being an emperor (which lots of people reacted to) was far more important to the story.

Ryokugyu isn't a super important character, his reveal was completely normal like all the other admirals' introductions. You obviously missed the whole reason why Ryokugyu was there, it was to show the scabbards and Yamato that enemies of that level could come at any time. Ryokugyu was the perfect person to be there and his personality matches his actions, his introduction was great, your reading comprehension is just bad.

Why do you think Kubo failed? Because he didn't want to become Shueisha's dog.


Let me clarify so people don't point this out. Kubo is not a good writer, but at one point Bleach was white hot, the decline started when Shueisha wanted to make Kubo their dog and force him to go about Bleach their way which is something Kubo did not want to.


There is this "Kubo FC" or something like that where people subscribe to talk to him and all other kinds of stuff.

He said there won't be a "Hell arc" as long as he's not allowed to go about the arc his way.



Oda didn't bow down to Shueisha and become their dog but they tricked him into being one. One of his editors was delegated there from Shueisha main editorial department.

In other words, dude was sent there to make sure they will milk Oda until he ends up like Togashi.

Of course the Gear 5 reveal was pretty good, but I’m saying that the story could’ve been better before that. Even after the Gear 5 reveal there were things that should’ve been done, like plot points being resolved like Zoro visiting Ryuma’s grave for example. I also have mixed feelings about Kin’emon and Kiku surviving.

It seems like Wano was cut short because of the Film Red promotion, although perhaps Oda’s patience got the best of him as well?

Those 2 chapters were mid
I was making a reference to something a provider said shortly after Wano ended. I don’t remember which one, but they said something like that.

But if you consider them mid then I guess this chapter doesn’t have much competition. :gokulaugh:
