General & Others The Yamato Cover Story

[kekaro]

And despite that and the endless Wano wanking over a pretty sideboob, Wano still had the biggest drop in sales in the series' history.

Also, was it just me, or did Wano feel painfully over-promoted? It felt like Toei and JUMP went out of their way to artificially inflate its popularity to the point that it got more promotion than any previous arc. You had Shinto shrines selling Wano-themed goods before the arc even began, thousands of overpriced merch items released during its run when compared to past arcs, and countless cross-promotions with other brands just to hype it up, even more so in its first year than both runs of Dressrosa and Marineford. Even Funimation, Crunchyroll, and VIZ went overboard with the marketing — far more than they ever did for any other arc being localized. This had to have been a personal request from Oda himself, who clearly believed Wano was meant to be his magnum opus.

The baboons here eat it up too tho, especially the toei sloppa
seems like it worked

 

[Shiroyru]

Not at all, I almost applaud him for it. Smart man, he literally wrote Yamato as annoying and unbearable as possible just to test it. He won.

After Ulti and Page One joined Yamato, I really thought we would get to see Black Maria and Jack again, and them joining Yamato as well.

But of course that didn't happen.

Bro, Jack joining Yamato's fanclub would be a *calamity*

An editor even came out and said he cried reading next week's chapter and it was just some scrubbards stabbing Kaidou.

The propoganda didn't help increase sales, but it worked on making the cult even louder.

I cried during the raid too the editor was not lying, but for different reasons

Maybe that editor was secretly trying to throw some shade at Oda? He never did say why he was crying

I want also to denote that when wano was current and i was just reader most zoro gen was clapping for wano btw. as peak, while even long time pre-ts fans were saying it was ass until a certain event in the end
never forget

And soon as that ended the anime tourist and kids flashed by cubes and strobic lights came in as DBS ended, almost spooky

Don’t slander DBS like that, the Tournament of Power is a masterpiece compared to Lano, and Jiren mogs Crydo as an antagonist

DBS is ass bro El hermano cant carry that much

Bruh, Tien vs that sniper dude was unironically a better fight than most of the Tobi Roppo matchups lol, and Jiren legit had better character writing than Kaido somehow

 

[kekaro]

Bruh, Tien vs that sniper dude

Tiens whole inclusion in DBS is pissing on him

Jiren legit had better character writing than Kaido somehow

Jirens backstory is such a meme that it even spawned a bigger meme than kaidos

 

[Shiroyru]

And Usopp’s whole inclusion in Wano is pissing on him

Name one way that Kaido was written better than Jiren lol

Actual found a DBS and Jiren sloppa defender in the wild
Wait you are Shanksu fand never mind

I mean it’s just a testament to how awful Kaido was written that Jiren was better. Jiren actually had something resembling a character arc

We needed to know that Moria is a kozuki, which means when he joins cross guild all Yonko crews will have means of reading poneglyphs

[Poorsalino Cooker]

Making Wano the origin of seastone and poneglyphs also pisses me off, as if Oda didn't already make the island needlessly super special. It wouldn't surprise me if Oda declares that the sunken portion of Wano was actually the ancient kingdom from the Void Century too, or that Wano is the origin of the first devil fruit.

Lolda is still trying to convince many people that Wano wasn't a failure.

It's like trying to convince people DCEU wasn't a failure.

 

[Monkey D Theories]

Minor character development:

• We see the new daimyo reveals
• Ulti and P1 join Yamato
• Moria is now a Kozuki
