Questions & Mysteries Why Did Oda Even Bring Vice Admirals To Egghead

[Punishhh]

VA are the worst characters in the series. One rank under Admiral, but complete fodder. Waste of panels.

 

[CaeDBoyd]

They’re just vacationing and doll is hot so yeah makes sense

 

[Cruxroux]

After Triple Chin used Steam Knuckle to one shot a sea beast, I thought we would see the VAs in action on Egghead.

All they did was chase Sanji around a bit, two of them got one shot by Kuma, and now they’ve left.

What was Oda cooking ????

Same reSon he bought other SH's.
To eat up panels.

I’m not sure why people thought the VAs were going to do anything, there’s been next to no focus on them.

Go back to Marineford and look at the Whitebeard allied captains introduction, Oda made a bigger deal of that and the only one that did anything was Squard.

 

[Dark Knight Sanji]

The rank of Vice Admiral is like a McDojo handing out black belts. Everyone gets it after a certain time.

I mean, tbf, there has been next to no focus on anyone not named Nika, Kizaru, Saturn Bonney or Kuma lol.

And its really not a fair statement to make, considering Oda DID highlight there importance and used them in key scenes:

Yes, they are back on the ships, but also, consider the situation now:

- All Pacifista have turned on the ships. If they stay on the ships, they are just free targets for Pacisita

- The Giants are destroying ships in the other direction

- The Sunny is likely going to leave the barrier soon with the crew, assuming they all jump on the ship, and come down below.


Those are all grounds to use them for (small, even fodderized if needed) fights with the crew by that point.

Because... hmm... because standard Buster Call have five vice admirals so Oda-sensei decided Egghead siege will have nine vice admirals! Isn't he so smart? GODA ~~~!

 

[MonsterKaido]

They have always been frauds. It won't change now.

 

[Elder Lee Hung]

Why don’t we wait until the end of the arc to ask this question Linyagi? This thread will age horribly if the VA do something of value before the arc ends lol.

 

[Zaretball]

Fake tension. Apart from Doll, Oda didn't waste a single second with the characterization of these characters.

 

[zenox]

But they weren’t even used as hype tools, they just showed up, did nothing, and left lmao

thats the thing , they are so weak that they are not even strong enough to be used as hypetools

they are solely there to be a part of buster call
strong fodders as i said

 

[BlackLegFring]

Mostly for Oda to show off his designs.

Just be glad that he didn’t put them in silhouettes like he’s usually fond of doing…

 

[Malio]

They're as useless as they were in Marineford. There's no use for them at all

 

[NotHereForSpoilers]

Kuma and giant hype tool. Think it’s a testament to how strong Kuma is even in his mindless state and how strong giants are

Funny enough, most fans think that with just Kuzan and Saturn left this is an absolute wash for the straw hats. I get the feeling that Saturn is gonna solo the entire island

 

[NotTommy]

If the arc was longer, they could've faced the Straw Hats (some of them) but they didn't amount to much. Hopefully at least Doll shows up again at least.

 

[MegaSpider]

The strawhats should collect their corpses for the Cross Guild. That's like a free $2 billion berries.

 

[KageFumi]

Some of them got run diff by broken kuma, and then saturn/kizaru telling them to get the fuck out from the island like bunch of fodders.

At least Doll is hot....

 

[CensoredbyWG]

VAs remind me of VCs from bleach with how far they are from their superiors lol

 

[God of Finance]

At least Doll is hot....

Literally the only reason for VAs.

 

[SkySanji]

The Latrines are a joke, both Admirals and Vice Admirals are just weak.
