Anime & Manga One Piece Spoilers - The Waiting Room

[Jokerr]

Who cares about Luffy, where’s BM

 

[kyejames316]

Luffy can job, but he is the main character. He will overcome any and all actual enemies standing between him and his goals, usually within the same arc. He will never look bad for long.

Sanji can job, but he is merely the cook of the crew. He refuses to use his hands in combat even; it is a miracle he can contend with his opponents at all, and an even bigger miracle that he so happened to end up this strong despite that.


But Zoro, Zoro is different. Zoro promised to "never lose again."
In a battle shonen manga with 1139 chapters and counting...

How do you make his fights interesting if he can never (conventionally) lose?

Oda's solution to this, of course, is to simply have Zoro job the entire fight.


Imagine this: EoS WSS Zoro dueling a young East Blue swordsman.

He will get cut, stabbed, slashed, bleed several metric tons of blood, call to his swords for help, deplete all the oxygen in the area faster than Caesar Clown ever could, etc.

But in the end, he will defeat this young swordsman in one EPIC DOUBLE SPREAD move and give him the "don't be too hasty!" speech in the same breath.

Did he truly job?

Did a swordsman hurt you irl

I asked and oda delivers

 

[Rumble]

Gaban's first appearance in ch 19, which released on December 1, 1997.

Oda teased his return to the story in ch 631, which released on July 11, 2011.

Oda has been teasing this character for longer than some (most?) of you have fucking LIVED.

Let the man hype us his guy against Luffy, damn.

 

[SakazOuki]

Waban got all you Agenda Piece nerds flipping the fuck out.

My goat just does these things.

From an irrelevant filler bum to the #1 public enemy of condom and Slowronoa fandoms

 

[Dragon777]

No Axe old ass scopper can go toe to toe with Kaido?

 

[L57]

Someone should ask how Zoro's performance was this chapter.

Apparently 9/10

 

[xudes]

Apparently 9/10

 

[kyejames316]

Zoro aura farms all chapter
“I can’t attack, I’ll destroy the key”
Then crosses his arms

 

[Poorsalino Cooker]

Crydo stocks not looking so good.

 

[soupongo]

Also, take the redpill on this. There was no way Kaido was going to kill Doffy.

 

[Juanpiz]

From an irrelevant filler bum to the #1 public enemy of condom and Slowronoa fandoms

Oden who?

 

[L57]

Goofy fans expected him to wash everyone
Oda always clowns goofy when he starts a fight

 

[Toryu]

Gaban's first appearance in ch 19, which released on December 1, 1997.

Oda teased his return to the story in ch 631, which released on July 11, 2011.

Damn, his draft for the overla story is even further back than I thought

 

[SakazOuki]

Old and slow rusty axeless Gaban vs Goofy

 

[mly90]

Who is Woro's oponnent this arc ? @mly90 @L57 @HA001

I honestly have no idea anyone below top tier is complete waste of time for marimo. I doubt Loda would have shamrock defeated this arc Loki is looking more like an ally than antagonist midbaf is increasingly looking like another egghead to me. Complete garbage filler arc my expectations are very low i don't trust this fraud author

 

[SDfear]

Apparently 9/10

For what?
