This is entirely uncalled for
C'mon don't say such disingenuous shit.
The straw hats have different dreams that mean dif fervent things both to them and the story.
By design Luffy dream is the most important. Not just because he's the MC but because it means the most to the world and themes of the story.
You are being weirdly narrow-minded to expect Nami to be shouting "I'm gonna draw the map of the world" as much as Luffy shouts about being Pirate king.
Even outside of their character differences, Nami's dream means something different to her than Luffy's dream means to him. Nami's dream is more of a hobby than a dying creed like Luffy's. The biggest advantage of Nami dream to herself is that it allows her to be useful to the crew and all she really wants is to be with the crew.
There's guys like Brook whose dream isn't even useful to the crew and yet all he also wants is to be with the crew. His dream literally only exists so that he can have an end point to his journey.
From the very get go, the story presents these people's dreams as a being fundamentally different in execution and importance. Franky for example has essentially completed his dream since the Sunny is his dream ship. Everything else Franky does ia because he just likes the crew.
That's the binding thing here. The very existence of the crew in itself is enough to drive all the characters and it's what keeps them together
Even zoro btw. Mihawk beats Zoro and Oda makes sure that the lesson Zoro learns from the defeat is that he needs to travel around the world with the crew in order to get anywhere with his dream.
The very adventure and journey is itself a fulfilment of everybody's dreams and goals and desires. The only thing that would destroy their dreams is to no longer be able to sail as a crew.
So if you want Zoro to lose again supposedly so that his loss can somehow inform his dream then remember the last time he lost. Oda had Zoro lose to Mihawk so that zoro can learn the importance of this adventure with Luffy towards achieving his goal. And its been 1000 chapters and we can all agree that this lesson was very useful and Zoro took it to heart.
Therefore for Zoro to lose again, you would expect a lesson of similar magnitude to be learned, RIGHT? I mean you wouldnt want zoro to lose just so he can learn the lesson that he needs to get a better sword right?
I mean really, try and compare the significance of these scenarios. Mihawk beat Zoro and 400 chapters later that loss informs Zoro's decision to lay down his life for Luffy since he knows the importance of this journey and his goal is now tied to the success of this journey. Then according to you, Zoro loses again in Wano so that a few chapters later he learns that he should get a better sword. Wow. What great storytelling.
This is all forgetting the fact that Zoro winning for 1000 chapters IS THE PROGRESSION of his dream. If you're saying that a loss is what would create progression in his dream then that means the last 1000 chapters of him winning are the opposite right? Him winning is NOT progressing his dream?
How is this uncalled for?
First of all, I have NEVER asked Oda to highlight the crew dreams on same level of highlight as Luffy!
I understand Luffy is main character of all, and that his dream comes first...
But what is truly a crime and a sin for me, is to see people who DID NOT NEED TO EXIST in this story, and take panel/screen time in every arc, when they are irrelevant.... and I'm not talking about characters like "Red Scabbard" whom people are angry at them for some reason... I'm talking about the shittiest of all shittiest character... who exist in the story ONLY for Oda to draw their quirky design while and they fill up the space of many chapters!
Like dude, the amount of irrelevant Samurai characters, or Smile/pleasures panels who didn't need to exist.... Or Oda on a whim, deciding that Big Mom will have 100+ children and he needs to SHOW ALL OF THEM, when ONLY a handful bunch of them are important.... Like, dude, he can still make Big Mom have 25 kids, and her nickname STILL can work as being called "Big Mom"... why the need for 100+ characters!
and no, I'm not asking for Oda to make Nami to shout "I will draw the map of the world"
But I need him to EXPLAIN how the fuck Nami will draw a map of the world, with all the islands, when the crew is NOT visiting each island in the world.... if there is some navigational skills in drawing we don't know, we NEED an explanation for it.... How the fuck is her dream making any sense.... if she didn't visit "North Blue/South Blue/West Blue" and many islands in Grandline are NOT visited cause there are different routes...
What I mean, Oda needs to work on making shit BELIEVABLE and gradual... and not somehow... by EoS... Nami just announces she finished drawing... or just show the aftermath of final arc, a panel of her drawing, and publishing her world map ad taking pics... what the fuck is kind of bullshit is this!
So, you guys would rather have someone like Rebecca have a GREAT resolution for her story arc "father and daughter" with Kyrus... a minor side character, while Main cast, have the WORST unsatisfactory ending?
It's not uncalled for... I am of the opinion that I have complaints. then I should say it, cause otherwise, words cannot spread... I believe in the "spreading the words" in the community until one day those complaints reach the ears of the authors... it's the only way we remind them of WHAT IS IMPORTANT... it's a story about Dreams... that theme is one of the BIGGEST most important aspect of the show
People go on youtube or advertise for the show they love saying "One of the best world building, a great theme of Nakama/friendship/ a Dreams are highlight of the show" yet when the show lacks in those important aspects, we start saying "it's uncalled for" when they are discussed?
- Oda skips fights? yeah, sure let's ignore it's an action shonen manga, and never mention it... after all, it's an adventure story before being action, its important aspect is "dreams/adventure/friendship"
- Oda ignore dreams? yeah sure, let's ignore having the SH crew steps closer every arc for their dreams being highlighted
- Oda shows plotholes? yeah, sure let's turn a blind eye to it
this is actually destroying the series if not addressed and if Oda didn't pay attention to it... I know my voice will not reach him, but at least, it can reach more fandom, and more fandom can talk about it to others, and words can spread gradually until it reaches youtubers, or possibly even One Piece Podcast, or maybe even later people working in magazine... I think voicing your complaints is what is right, not just hiding it
