Speculations Why is Oda allergic to giving all the SHs 1v1 fights in an arc?

[Owl Ki]

Probably cause it is a shit load of work. Then again, whatever work Oda could possibly save by not giving all of the Straw Hats fights, he loses by making a large group of secondary characters like the Scabbards and trying to give all those guys fights instead.

Luffy had his right hand Zoro, a top tier ally Yamato (basically the aokiji of the strawhats and oden). sanji, jimbei, franky, the scabbards and law the cheerleader and futur fleet captain that is enough to solo marinford imo. As Long the rest are decently strong to defent themself and above vet level its fine. Nami also pretty op with buble gun and zeus. They dont need to fight every time like monster trio.

 

[ShadyOjiro]

Too much Work and Panel time
Filler characters are more important

Bless each Otama panel.
It expands OP lore by 400%.

 

[Logiko]

Because it's not needed.

 

[Shiroyru]

Oda has rightfully so given up on Nami, Usopp and Chopper. They're just trash really. Every arc their oponnents will either be taken out by someone else or another fighter from outside the crew joins to take over those fights.

At least Nami got a fight in Wano even if it was trash

 

[Monkey D Monkey]

This hasn't happened since Alabasta...

Skypiea- Nami, Sanji, and Usopp didn't get fights
Enies Lobby- Robin and Usopp didn't get fights
Thriller Bark- Only Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp got 1v1's
Fishman Island- Robin didn't get a fight, and most of the SHs got joke fights
Punk Hazard- Only Luffy and Law got 1v1 W's. Zoro vs Monet was a stomp.
Dressrosa- Sanji, Nami, Robin, Brook, and Chopper didn't get 1v1's.
WCI- Only Luffy got a serious 1v1
Wano- Usopp, Brook, and Chopper didn't get 1v1s even though Oda easily could have given them P1, WsW (Jinbe fights Jack instead), and Perospero

There are 10 major Marines at Egghead and 10 SHs, so hopefully Oda can get it right this time, but I'm sure that at least a few SHs will be cucked for no reason yet again.

It’s a big time sink to have each straw hat fight and if they aren’t going to show anything significantly new it’s a waste of time. It’s better for Oda to save these matches for when the Straw Hats have new abilities

 

[Luffy is the mc]

Because it takes too much time and yes drawing panels of fodders running and talking is better for him.
He doesn't even draw properly Luffy's fight anymore so of course he's not going to do it for the weaskest straw hats

Monster quartet
Franky/robin
Brook as a suporter
Weak trio
This is the hierarchy

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Monster quartet
Franky/robin
Brook as a suporter
Weak trio
This is the hierarchy

Going by wano the hierarchy is:
Monster trio - Captain and his right and left hand
Jinbe Franky Robin - Fought and defeated Tobi Roppo
Brook Chopper - Didn’t get match ups in wano
Usopp Nami - Lost their fight and got outside help to win

 

[ArturCantSpeakJapanese]

Well there might be a reason but it's far too late for Oda to make it up. Strawhats like usop, chopper, nami have totally lost the race. Their powerlevels are ranging from chapter 1 luffy (usop) to MAYBE EL luffy (chopper monster form). They're totally carried by the crew. Brook and Franky have nice feats, though they missed their opportunity to get Haki. Robin's demon full body CoA is still questionable imo as the blackness could also originate from the df ability.

Only the top 4 are qualified to legitimately have 1vs1 fights at this point. Sanji baking a cake instead of having a 1vs1 in his own arc was disappointing (but at least consistent with sanji's jobbing career from FMI-start of Wano)

usopp right now effortlessly destroys every pre-timeskip crew member lol. PRE TIMESKIP Usopp almost beat luffy.

 

[Urouge D. Rouge]

1v1 fights kind of cringe and overdone by the media

i want a 10v10 fight, a messs, chaos

 

[YonkoCommanderBepo]

Onepiece turned into the monster trio show after the timeskip. Oda sacrificed the rest of the straw hats in favour of focusing on the 3 most popular characters. They are not even allowed to have the tiniest bits of feats before the M3 get theirs. Look at the last chapter, Oda could have easily made Nami be the the one to trap Kaku using the bubble gun, instead, he had Sanji take the gun from her hands and use it against Kaku when she's standing RIGHT THERE....absurd.

Oda has stated that he writes the manga for boys. Most 13/14 yo boys care mostly about the M3, Shanks, Mihawk, and about the women being hot, they don't care about characters like Ussop or Brook. Oda is simply writing what his fans want

 

[park_min young]

Because that’s a lot of fights and most straw hats don’t need them.

Like even against the BB Pirates chopper and Brook will probably tag team Doc Q since stronger has his own mythical zoan power.

That’s cap, Law negged stronger lol. He’s a legitimate pet, Chopper would eat him

 

[YonkoCommanderBepo]

Oda has rightfully so given up on Nami, Usopp and Chopper. They're just trash really. Every arc their oponnents will either be taken out by someone else or another fighter from outside the crew joins to take over those fights.

That makes no sense. They are weak because he writes them as weak, not because he is obliged to. He could have made them take down their Beast pirate enemies but he chose not to

Going by wano the hierarchy is:
Monster trio - Captain and his right and left hand
Jinbe Franky Robin - Fought and defeated Tobi Roppo
Brook Chopper - Didn’t get match ups in wano
Usopp Nami - Lost their fight and got outside help to win

Monster trio no longer exists it is dead since post TS when Jinbe joined monster quartet was born
Jinbe was reacting with the wings to aramaki vs scabbards
Alongside wings he is the only who has a 1b bounty
Like the wings He was leading a team in film red
He is umi no chõnan 海の長男 or first son of the sea while the wings are sora and tera sons
Oda's mistake was making Jinbe not fight jack but minks wanted their revenged however he compensated him low diffing kaido's YC4 strongest TR fush fhu because there wasn't any other want Jinbe didn't fought a calamity or YC3 to up yes but he has feats with top tiers (admiral and yonkos)while Sanji hasn't for example their time to fight YC3 to up to one or admiral/yonkos to the other will come
Yes Sanji fought a seraphim like luffy and zoro but Jinbe was teaming up with stussy while luffy and zoro were teaming up with lucci and kaku
He is technically the oden of luffy's/roger crew because roger has also his two "wings"

 

[Malio]

I think he wants to add more stuff in each chapter, that he doesn't have time for every fight. Probably just gonna leave it to the anime team, obviously with his 2 bit of advice

 

[Thaidakar]

usopp right now effortlessly destroys every pre-timeskip crew member lol. PRE TIMESKIP Usopp almost beat luffy.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

That’s cap, Law negged stronger lol. He’s a legitimate pet, Chopper would eat him

Choppers also basically a pet. There’s a reason Brook and Chopper are the only two straw hats who didn’t get a fight in Onigashima.

 

[Urouge D. Rouge]

why 1d want alls honen to be the same 1v1 stuff lol

 

[park_min young]

Choppers also basically a pet. There’s a reason Brook and Chopper are the only two straw hats who didn’t get a fight in Onigashima.

I mean Chopper can draw blood from Queen, I don’t even think Pegasus can think for himself lol
