The "fewer" character thing would be a good excuse if Oda actually made 2-3 SHs do anything every arc, alternating.

But people hold on to some scraps and say "this character is MVP".

Ever since, AT LEAST Whole Cake Island, this is full throttle "Luffy show" xD
Idk how people are still blind to it and think it's something that started this or last arc only.
xD
Yes!!! I was so mad that WCI was all about Luffy actually
He fought cracker, he fought Katakuri, he was right there in the center of what was supposed to be Sanji's arc.

Like take H x H where we also have a ton of characters and Gon the MC.

Yes, Gon is the MC, but Kurapika and Killua get just as much love. Leorio a little less imo, but even then, he still has his moments.

This is how you do it.
 
Yes
I wanted that because we have Luffy every single bloody chapter. With that stupid laughing pose. This idiot HAD sanji sat out for months on end feigning that when Sanji came he would do something. Instead this idiot is still running whilst all the enemies get taken out. This fraud keeps teasing us and then let's us down and we go through the same cycle again.i want Sanji to actually fight to grow and progress but this guy wants to be some edgy mangaka not realising he's copying literally everybody before him.
You have to lower your expectations. This arc was guaranteed to be full Nika glazing when we found out the giants connection to the lore. And it's only starting. You should just wait for the scraps.:suresure:

But the good thing is that Sommers is setup for Sanji so eventually he'll get some focus.

The bad thing is that Sommers is setup for Sanji. Dude has been getting clowned on for 38+ years.:josad:

One Piece is an old-school shonen

Shamrock has what?
:MonkeighWhat:
Did I miss a panel?
Nah, you did not, it's more like I think he's likely to have it.

Based on what I've seen in manga, it's possible that CoC has something to do with your bloodline - we have both Kaido and Yamato possess CoC, we have Garp and Luffy, we have Harald and Loki.... So yes, it is a stretch, but I wouldn't be surprised for Shamrock to be a hakiman.

Gon is a terrible example, but it explains what you want; Gon is a character overshadowed by Kurapika and Killua, and he is even useless in the parts of the manga after the anime.
He only came to the forefront once, and even then, he brought about his own downfall.

I think it's because japan has this "strong bloodline" thingie.

It's not exactly "genetical".
But like "because your father was strong, you are strong as well"

C'mon, I've re-read HxH earlier arcs recently. Gon isn't that bad. He is initially your typical shounen hero with "strong potential, needs training" vibe at first, but I actually loved his believable losses against Hisoka and nen users in the Tower, and then his growth. Gon is basically your Luffy without the plot armour.

he's not "overshadowed"

You guys are so used to "solo main character everyone is garbage in comparison" that when an author actually gives time and let other characters shine, you guys think the "main character got overshadowed".

lmao

Gon is not overshadowed at all lol

You just prefer MCs who get all the attention

Hxh works so well because Gon is not the only one who gets all the screen time

one piece has become the nika show now. Not even luffy show. Straight up a mythical pirate jesus nika show. Goofy's character has quite literally been absorbed by and evaporated by nika. And Nika is a bullshit retcon that oda only introduced like 4 years ago.

How pathetic and weak is the MCs character that it gets so easily absorbed and overshadowed by a retcon for his df?
25 years of goofy's character turned to shit for a mythical zoan retcon that has made the story way way worse.

What a joke
