Its always the same routine since Punk Hazard, although I think hints of it were already popping up since Sabaody. Oda uses ellipses way too often to convey a mystery or secrets but when he does eventually reveal what the characters were trying to convey, its always underwhelming or something super obvious. Vegapunk's message is probably the worst example of this. Its like if during Skypiea, instead of Enel and others outright mentioning Enel's homeland of Birka, we instead got characters always saying "..." and then getting a dozen reactions of people acting shocked in response to the name of his mystery country, only to get the revelation 8 or 10 years later in a very unimpactful way.
Ganfall: "Enel destroyed his own homeland, the sky island of ..."
[5 characters gasp in terrified reactions]
Enel: "I am from ... Those who hear the the true name of my land are sentenced to death!"
[10 characters react shocked and confused]
Satori: "This challenge is how we genocided our 'home'."
[30 characters lose their damn minds in reaction panels]
And then we wait a decade and its Nami on Weatheria with the old wizards where the mystery is revealed.
Nami: "So this place is just like Skypiea?"
[5 panels of wizards reacting in shock]
Haredas: "In a sense. Except we all came from a sky island called Birka. It was destroyed by some crazy guy called Enel, but all of the inhabitants escaped just in time, so no worries".
[50 panels of wizards reacting for no reason]

If you take away these last 5 chapters of Reaction Piece from Egghead, the arc is still above any other after Post-TS. Simply the events in Hachinosu, Kid vs Shanks, the reverie fb, Kuma's fb, Kizaru killing Vegapunk, the giants, the BB plot and the arrival of the 5 elders makes this arc a very solid one. It's the damn pacing after Vegapunk's message that caused all of Egghead's action to remain in the background, resulting in the Gorosei not having as much focus, and all so that in the end Vegapunk only released one new piece of information.
Even so, I am seeing many talk about how good WCI or Dressrosa was in comparison when they criticized it harshly at the time. People never change, I'm sure that in 10 years when arcs like Elbaf or Hachinosu last forever, people will refer to Egghead as a good short and straight to the point arc. Because that's how nostalgia works.

Hachinosu and Law vs Blackbeard are the only highlights from this slogfest and the whole thing just made me want a SWORD spinoff rather than put up with more Nika wank.
Kid vs Shanks was too short and only further established how stupid Kid is which sucks because the mofo deserved better.
Kuma's flashback started off well, but by then it just made Dragon, Garp and Vegapunk look like shortsighted and lazy scumbags. And then there was Kuma's dumbass being right in front of Bonney at Sabaody at the restaurant, she was no longer being held hostage, he had no reason to undergo Vegapunk's final memory erasing treatment, and he could've just reunited with his 12yo daughter then and there and buzzed off, but instead leaves her to get assaulted and sexually harassed by Pedobeard. And then there was "Luffy/Nika was the first person in hundreds of years to punch a celestial douchebag?! He's the chosen one aaaaugh!"

Kaidos crew is so goated. At least a good few of Big Mom's too. Yonko crews are just built so different. No crew has given me as much hype as those 2, best enemy crew/faction since CP9 and Baroque Works. I regard the Marines too partially but only partially due to Admirals, Smoker, Vergo, Sengoku hard carrying them.
I love Queen so much especially lmao. Cracker and Katakuri are dope too. Perospero, Black Maria, Ulti ofc, King etc.
