THANK YOU. I'm tired of people complaining about act 3 being the worst and act 2 being the best like WHAT? Udon was a borefest with new fodders characters with ugly design that not one give a %$
And then that long boring Oden fb after that was overkill
Act 3 had some issues, but, overall, it was really functional/well done. For a segment of the story with THAT MANY characters at once, I think Oda did at least an 8/10, and a 9/10 in some parts. Zoro vs King, Sanji vs Queen, Luffy vs Kaido are legit great fights. Robin's Black Maria fight was good, Franky's fight was fucking hilarious, Usopp and Nami being that weak was disappointing, but made sense, they're freaking weak.
Act 2 is hard carried by Yasuie, Queen, and Linlin. Yasuie is legit the best part of it, and it's because he's both meaningful, but doesn't take up a ton of screen time. Yasuie felt 10x more emotional than Hyo, because Udon had so many useless fights and stalling. Hyo's this indebted to Luffy, and doesn't think to... IDK, teach him the Haki that can break people out of the prison? THE FUCK?
Queen carried Act 2 hard, and his fight with Linlin was great, but really short. Oda takes too long on set up and doesn't spent enough time in the climaxes, it's like an hour of foreplay for 2 minutes of intercourse sometimes.
If you hate Big Mom, Act 2 was ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. The entire Orochi raid had no stakes, who the fuck actually thought Komurasaki was dead? WHO????
Anyone who says this unironically is trolling and or insane, not mutually exclusive ofc lol. I mean Act 2 being the best and Act 3 the worst. They HAVE to be trolling or/and delusional.
I'm a delusional troll sometimes (working on it, sigh), and even I know it's insane.
Act 1 was decisively the worst part of Wano.
Eh. I like Hawkins, the Law stuff was fun, the Samurai Ghosts were cool, I like Tama a lot (if you hate Tama Act 1 is ass), and the Kaido section was fantastic. I think Act 1 is a good set up arc, but then Act 2 happens and... it just keeps... setting up...
And then we get the longest flashback in the series without a single new lore drop in it to start Act 3.
Oda's Wano editors are actually Manga Terrorists. Wano Act 1 = 8/10, Wano Act 2 = 5/10, Wano Act 3 = 8/10.
Wano Act 3.5 Yamato's Cover Series 5/10 so far. Wano is just such a bipolar territory when it comes to Oda's writing.
