This is actually a critic that I can accept. One Piece is not for everyone.. It has always been a little looney.

But I find gear 5 really cool shi shi shi

:lusnipe:



Yeah, that's an hard pill to swallow



This was a pretty clear question. Do you believe than books are more valuable than mangas ?



Well, we disagree here :)



Me neither, that's why I asked him where he found that sentence lol



Who are you talking about lol ?


And that's bad how ?



No, nothing is cliche here



No, this was a simple distraction, bait and switch is a little bit different.



Indeed, that why there is a revelation during the chapter. This only hint the ability of the fruit.



Where ?



Not necesssaraly, there is legitimate anger. Like for example, I'm angry at the cops of my country right now

What can be dangerous is to print the idea that through anger you get power. This is something that can have actual effect in real life, bad effects.



Every story are political :)
One day I will make you all understand that.

But lets come back to the subject please.
Ok, now I can understand you better.
You are defending a cliche moment and covering up worst abuse of bait-and-switch as simple distraction.

Simply, say that you personally liked it.
Nothing is in your favor even in story telling terms.
Mr pseudo-intellectual.
 
Yes.

By a significant margin.

It's fine to prefer manga to books of course
That's where we have a problem. Books and Manga are just support. Believing that a support is better than another one, is showing just ignorance about the way we make art in general. And blinding yourself from actual great pieces of art.

Saying that books are more valuable than Manga is like saying that Paintings in real life are more valuable than digital paintings. This is nonsence.

No again, there was no cliche.


G5 is some of the most creative power ups in the Shonen verse but also up there as one of, if not the most controversal one out there.
This is true. And the controverse is where I shine the most hehehe

Just because you say so?

It was a cliche through and through.

Why should I care about your opinion?
It is actual factual evidence, cross checked from other sources.
 
Nop



You can ignore me if you want.

Still nop
Why should I ignore you?

You wanted a discussion about story telling. Now that I explained it in story telling terms, you are saying exactly the same things others were saying and you were calling them haters, cant deny facts, there are evidences, and more.

You failed to explain the actual technique used for the reveal.
But I did some research and found it is just the use of cliche writing and bait-and-switch method.

Is there anything else to discuss, or do you concede?

And I explain you in storytelling term that you are wrong. :kayneshrug:
You are taking the wrong terms - that you copy pasted btw on a trope site - to make an unvalid point.
There is no cliche here.

The actual technique used is like I said, a simple diversion 15 years in the making. Oda created a bunch of transformation and managed to make you believe in them by hiding the real ability in plain sight. That's a simple magic trick. He used for that a bunch of shadowing and 3 (if I remember correctly) foreshadowings.

how can he concede when he thinks his personal opinions are universal facts
Come on. You all know that I won't concede, you all know me. You damn well all know that when I say that I'm right on something, I don't move for even a centimeter.. So let's stop playing as if you were all completely flabbergasted by my argumentations and let's all move on.

15 years to execute a bait, ... it make things worse.

Bait and switch is when a writer encourages the reader to invest attention in a developing emotional or suspenseful situation ('bait'), only to substitute ('switch') a high-action payoff which has nothing to do with the previous development.

Copy pasting is not an issue if it serves the purpose.

Read that again ⏫

Gum Gum No Mi was a 'bait', and Nika Nika No Mi was the 'switch'.

Foreshadowings are meaningless in this case because if Oda was relying on foreshadowings he would not have given wrong name to his Devil Fruit.

He is continuing the bait by being vague about the DF's abilities. He simply said it is up to the user's imagination.
Is it a reality warping DF?
We dont know. Luffy needs another power up to win against Imu. So, you can expect one more moment like Nika reveal.

And this is not a bait and switch here because the payoff has EVERYTHING to do with the development. So again, stop using storytelling words you don't understand to make a point and read the actual thread.

No because the only thing that is replaced here is the name and said ability of the fruit. NOTHING and I say NOTHING change about the real ability of the fruit. So the development ergo the actual ability ergo the parameters of each transformations and nature NEVER changed.

We dont know
We actually know dude:

Says nothing changed about the actual ability.

Proceed to show that it is a reality warping DF:

:lusnipe:

Imagine being this clueless and denying story telling facts and evidences. Lol
 
Even if you wanna argue the concept of Nika was in Oda's head during Skypiea, Luffy's fruit being at all related to the sun god was definitely not in the drafts until Jinbei and Who's Who threw hands. And even if it was, no shot it was executed well at all.

How can you be sure of that, Joyboy is mentionned first in Fishmen island. But if if that was not the case it doesn't matter. We don't care when an author has an idea as long as it make sence. And here...

Everything make sence.
