Anime & Manga One Piece Spoilers - The Waiting Room

[kekaro]

Oda gave up on them a long time ago lol

You saying this just makes my take stronger ngl

 

[Dragon777]

Any other author could’ve turned the Knights of God into iconic antagonists on par with Akatsuki, Phantom Troupe or the Espada. Minimum as good as the League of Villains

But of course we get Oda instead

Not really.
This was end of 2024:

We know the Holy Knight are going to be Revo's and arguably SH Grand Fleet's opponents. The weakest HK Is going to be as strong as them, meaning, idk, F6 level? Even less?

HK are going go from Sabo's opponent (Shanks' twin?) to, idk, Leo's opponent

Idk why people even had expectations when HK have always been filler villains created Just to give someone to fight to the weaker mugis and SHGF.

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

You just named the main villain groups of the other animanga. The Knights of God are more like the Fullbringers from Bleach or Hebi from Naruto.

And they’d have been as iconic in a more competent authors hands.

Espada weren’t the main villains either, they are more comparable to the Beast Pirates All Stars + Tobi Rōppo

 

[Paragorn]

Oda gave up on them a long time ago lol

Who told you this? Lol

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Thats the admirals, if you didnt notice

He could say Admirals or Warlords and both are solid villain groups and still are important in the manga.

Tac just coping again, like drunk blud drowning in sorrow

There is only 1 group that is present since the pre-ts like akatsuki that is still getting the treatment by the mc as unbeatable obstacle as a group

 

[Alexis2282AE]

I believe it was referring to Sanji now.

Never mind. Still Zoro. Got confirmation he cut the giant into pieces, as he doesn’t need to worry about them getting killed.

 

[Cross_Marian]

Gunko can’t be the villain of this arc
She’s just another damsel in distress
I think Garling will show up and show us his new Yokai powers
Maybe Shamrock or another unexpected villain will join too

 

[Sir Yasheen]

And they’d have been as iconic in a more competent authors hands.

Espada weren’t the main villains either, they are more comparable to the Beast Pirates All Stars + Tobi Rōppo

The Espada were the main subordinates of Aizen and were important even EOS and the new Hell arc.

They’re wayyyyy more important than the beast pirates.

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

You saying this just makes my stronger ngl

I mean, he uses the rank of admiral as a hype tool in a flash back.

Doesn’t give Kizaru more than 1.5 chapters of decent fighting

Kuzan is getting teabagged by Old Garp and needs an island to help him subdue old Garp

Aramaki looked cool before Shanks was able to subdue him on the periphery of an island

Fujitora shows up with new bruises every time we see him, like some abused spouse.

Sakazuki is the only one who’ll get half treated well

 

[Rumble]

It’d be annoying to have Imu hanging around for the last 20 chapters just to leave the second we’d see him fight non fodder

His arrival was paired with setup for forced withdrawal.

There’s a situation going on in the Holyland.

Shamrock had to head back.

Given all the revelations around Loki, Harald and Rocks, and the fact there is a limited shelf life to Devon using Saturn’s likeness, it’s quite likely Blackbeard is invading.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Gunko can’t be the villain of this arc
She’s just another damsel in distress
I think Garling will show up and show us his new Yokai powers
Maybe Shamrock or another unexpected villain will join too

We could get a Garling Imu combination like Saturnmu

 

[Alexis2282AE]

There is nothing on Robin in this chapter, but all other Straw Hats appear.

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

The Espada were the main subordinates of Aizen and were important even EOS and the new Hell arc.

They’re wayyyyy more important than the beast pirates.

The two fan favorites are more important than the rest—Grimmjow and Sylzapparro.

The rest are fodder to the story, the top 3 Espada were treated very poorly, Yammy off screened, Zommari “fastest Espada” outsped, Nnoitra was alright but ultimately a forgettable fight

 

[Cross_Marian]

We could get a Garling Imu combination like Saturnmu

Father and son tag team against Garling-Imu?

 

[kekaro]

I mean, he uses the rank of admiral as a hype tool in a flash back.

?

IDoesn’t give Kizaru more than 1.5 chapters of decent fighting

Thats 1.5 or whatever you attribute to holy roppo and co
Pretty well for a undfeated opponent

Kuzan is getting teabagged by Old Garp and needs an island to help him subdue old Garp

Kuzan going fist for fist for garp was for sure a bag

Aramaki looked cool before Shanks was able to subdue him on the periphery of an island

Fujitora shows up with new bruises every time we see him, like some abused spouse.

Bruises from another admiral

You lost
admirals won
again
admiral piece till EoS buddy
@Elder Lee Hung

Nelliel and Harribel also appeared.

You realize Oda went out of this way to explain every one of those and even build up some character development moments?

Not to mention Kizaru food diff and Kuzan haing Garp's level of punching strenght (and CoC, but people are still coping) are among the biggest Ws the agenda has ever had.

Bruises from another admiral

]

* while defending slaves and helping them to flee
Fujitora is HIM

 

[MonochromeYoru]

It doesn’t matter if you’re immortal if your opponent stat gaps you to oblivion.

Should have been obvious btw

both domi and imu pacts are better for people who are already strong. fodder will still be fodder with them, but with regen

who'd have guessed...
