That´s true, it contradicts each other.
Not that deaths necessarily elevate a story, but i can certainly underline possible consequences while emphasizing the severity of the situation.

Also that´s only one part of "maturity" and i think it´s unfair to reduce it to only that.
It´s definitely relevant, maybe even essential, for suspense purposes, also as another layer for the audience to feel, but it´s not necessarily influencing other things that can be classified as such.

Ultimately i agree to a certain extent though.
Who knows, maybe Pedro, Yasu and such were supposed to be signify that transition, even if it did not work so well, though i only believe it when i see it definitely.

Yep, OP fandom is not a homogeneous bunch. Some want only battles (which i never thought Oda did pretty well beyond the clash of ideals), some want other things.
Really man, One piece fandom is so big that few of them just want battles, few of them want "consequences", few of them want SH centered arcs, few of them want on panel top tier fights, few of them want info dump (most probably theorists), few of them side characters like SN shine, few of them want either Luffy/Zoro/Sanji or their own favorite centered chapters
 
Sanji hasn't won a 1v1 fight on panel since Absalom at Thriller Bark in 2007 :giogio:
Zoro's only significant wins are Pica and Killer.
Pica was arguably the 3 or 4th strongest member of the Doflamingo pirates -WELL WELL WELL below Doflamingo, below Vergo and on par or slightly weaker than Trebol but with a better stalling potential, and to beat Pica he needed a mobility assist to reach him, and he benefited from Luffy probing his DF abilities.
Killer was mentally destroyed from his SMILE and his captain's defeat/capture, and was fighting for the man who gave him the SMILE to begin with, not best mental state for a fight to begin with. Secondly he was not using his custom spinning weapons. Thirdly he was disarmed by one weapon (which can't happen with his custom spinning weapons) into a 3 weapon vs 1 weapon situation. Fourthly Killer still caused a double KO against Zoro. Lastly Killer is supernova subordinate like Zoro, so using this to hype Zoro above or on level with Luffy is quite humorous.

Voice of truth :akaman:
 
Is there any story where folks from hero team keep dying one by one as story progresses? What's with this BS talk about plot armor or not being gritty enough to enjoy it? lmao.

I always wondered why no one offed Sherock while he keeps messing with criminals. Watson also never died. Is it plot armor? How the hell harry potter survived the whole story with only few spells? Also frodo and sam miraculously surving till the end. Why team 7 never got any casualities? Some second level guy like Neji had to die. Not from the rookie 9. So much plot armor.

Lol. If it's that bad, stop reading stories.
