Controversial Time Skip was the worse thing to happen to One Piece
- Thread starter MUUGEN
- Start date
Post time skip high stakes have become hollow to me. Oda doesn’t allow his villains to kill anyone when the shs are around.
Imu making his first appearance, injures Gerd instead of killing her, then he has chopper patch everything up like nothing happened.

Post-TS is as great as Pre-TS, if not better in 60% of it. If you want to compare them fairly, you just have to compare them from eyes of a 16 year old,
For you, Pre-TS was part of your childhood, for current gen, its Post-TS they grew up with,
You're also comparing a finished product with an ongoing one, and failing to see that Post-TS only problem is that Oda is unable to limit number of chapters of each Arc due to too many characters and non-stop ideas that he can't resist drawing,
Post-TS started with 100 Chapters of preparations, just like Pre-TS, after that we had Dressrosa Arc mirroring Arabasta Saga, and then Kaidou/Big Mom Saga was basically a very extended version of Skypiea Saga, and now we are in Post-TS Version of CP9 Saga where SHs face WG, currently still not finished,
600 Chapters of Post-TS so far are equivalent of about 350 Chapters of Pre-TS, and even though I really love Arabasta Arc and Skypiea Arcs, I'm not gonna claim that growing up with those 350 Chapters is superior experience than someone growing up with everything thats happened in Post-TS so far,
When you add second half of CP-9 Saga and Thriller Bark and Sabaody and Impel Down and Marineford and Ending of Pre-TS then it will indeed look like Pre-TS is much more satisfying, but thats not fair comparison, at this part of SHs Journey, Post-TS is simply far richer and better, if not at least equal, but definitely not as worse as people make it sound,

post ts has been shit up until recently, yeah there has been great moments and fights but overall pre>>post
romance dawn doesnt exist anymore the whole actual plot is gone and now its just another great ninja war nonsense
you listed half of pre-ts in a row which was absolue peak.
post has had no consecutive hits like pre, "childhood" nostalgia isnt a thing for me with op never has had anything to do with it.
storyline/telling, characters, pace, arcs all served a purpose and were simpler, oda went down a wormhole he is having trouble even explaining to himself leta lone the audience. now he has made his antagonist too op for pre and new top iers in the verse, hell none of the Roger pirates, shanks dragon or anyone else could actually kill one bar loki, now zoro and more than likely sanji all in 1 single arc are going to kill 2, 1 of these characters doesnt even have coc or had any indication of it in over 1100chapters lol
if oda isnt ust pulling everything out o his ass and giving powercreeps here and there then the actual plot and originality of OP has died, its odas story but he doesnt even know what hes doing himself, hes suffering from dragging the story too long and not knowing how o actually end it,

You're not explaining anything, you're just saying this is shit and this isn't, without any arguments, how is first 350 Chapters of Pre-TS better than 600 Chapters of Post-TS so far?
There is nothing I have found in Post-TS bothering people that I haven't experienced in Pre-TS as well, and there is nothing I found praised in Pre-TS that I haven't seen in Post-TS, its still same One Piece in both its highlight moments and shitty ones,
As I said before, only difference is that Post-TS is longer than necessary but thats because Oda have too many Characters he wants to draw, since he might not get a chance again,
I think you're just complaining cuz what u wanted to happen didn't

From the middle of thriller bark to the end of Marineford, One Piece had gotten pretty dull for me. It was kind of sad because it had always been something I enjoyed for an escape and life was getting hectic.
So Luffy's return, beating the Pacifista and making his declaration to Ray meant a lot to me. Still does. Hell, even the fake Straw Hats were extremely amusing. Fake Robin had the most notorious gag I can remember
But then we immediately got to Fishman Island. That's not Post TS, that's One Piece in a nutshell really
