Yeah I have never seen such an awful waste as he did with Big Mom in WCI and Wano.
Plus how much he ruined Boa too, the only female warlord. No female strong marines, no female Admirals and we only got one as a fan design made canon. Gion was designed as an admiral but Oda couldn't let her be one. Tsuru being strong is sketchy and we know Oda will never let her fight and show off. Doll was really promising but alas. Kujaku and Hibari had promise too, maybe Bluuegrass too sigh.
Other authors get slandered but they treat their female characters far better still. I feel I was too hard on them compared to oda. Oda treated female characters better pre ts too, much better.
Now he has a severe underage girl sexualisation, watsuki worshipping, crying constantly, damsel on distress, daddy issues fetishism.
The only female samurai and thus strong swordswoman in wano, Kiku ofc was born male. Yamato was back and forth on whether she was meant to identify as male despite being female. So Oda was saying she had to not only imitate her father who she hated and repeatedly beat and tried to kill her since childhood to be strong but also glorify a hypocritical POS like Oden and claim she is male and Oden himself to be strong too. Ushimaru and the other guys literally saved her life and freedom her, but she didn't care, they died as heroes too but she only cared to skin walk and wank off Oden instead.
Ushimaru was the OG 2 sword style user too, idk why Oden had to be one if Ushimaru was one. He looks exactly like zoro but isn't even closely related to him I think. Yamato doesn't even notice the resemblance in Zoro to him and zoro using multiple swords too.
Why doesn't she idolise zoro too? Why Oden? Because he was so "free"?
Yamato had 2 sword style users, one saved her life, the other inspired her entire future BUT she uses her abusive, evil fsthers fighting style and not their instead despite calling herself Oden too?
Don't get me started on Robin,Nami post TS especially In Wano, black Maria, hiyori especially, Shinobu etc.
Oda has the same kind of immature arrested development syndrome as Elon Musk for example. They both desperately need to grow up. Manchildren.
*prepares to get flamed by the Musk worshippers unironically lmao*
Unfortunately I'm seeing other people and sandman dig up shit about Oda even pre ts and find oda mentioning only caring about drawing characters over writing a story amd loving the use of silhouettes, that he wants to use them much more. He enjoys designing characters from them or something.
I hate how much I got obsessed with this series and looked at it with rose coloured glasses. I guess I was like kizaru in a way. That unclear perspective/beliefs/agenda whatever grind. Maintaining the status quo whilst living in denial.
I just want one piece to end sooner rather than later so I can truly let go and move on. But with all the BS Oda is doing and being exposed about him, the weaker my Stockholm syndrome is getting and the easier I can let go finally regardless.
I really wish one piece was a much shorter, simpler, lesser known, more humbler series like it used to be. It changed for the much worse like many people do when they taste fame/success/power/wealth.
I only see a hollow shell now of what used to make one piece one of a kind and amazing.
Sometimes oda will still hit some high notes post ts but they are ultimately shallow and fleeting.
Fuck man Oda has caused me irreversible severe brain, soul and emotional damage. Mental, emotional, spiritual whatever.
I'm tired and grumpy right now lmao.
