Maybe it should stop once you stop reading two piece and start reading the same manga we all are reading. I wonder where you all take this idea that Sanji is all that strong when even pre-ts all his enemies where subpar, even Jabura who was the only decent one was far less impressive than Kaku.
But seriously, Oda is taking Sanji into the technological route for a reason, and that reason is definely not soo that he could instantly master something that took Luffy training to get by magic, specialy when haki has nothing to do with technology.
Nah fam. I'm reading One Piece. And Oda constantly putting Luffy, Zoro and Sanji side by side, making characters refer to them as "those three are monsters" "those three are this" "those three those three those three" it's not something done for nothing.
Now, would I prefer the cool suit waiter/cook, that (pardon me for the pun) KICKS ass, have a lot of cool moments where he outsmarts villains, had some hilarious fights (the fight against Mr2, and the "mellorine" gag is still one of the funniest and awesome things I've read in One Piece), or the generic "badass" sword guy?
To be fair, I didn't dislike a single SH before timeskip, but I was REALLY hoping for some character development.
Luffy is the same thing, Zoro doesn't struggle anymore, Sanji changed from the cool guy with perverted gag, to the perverted guy, chopper is pure merchandising trash, Nami and Robin became full pledged porn actresses, Usopp, for a BRIEF, VERY BRIEF, moment showed some potential. Got buffed and stuff, but reverted back to the same coward he was before. Franky is the same, but that's good. Franky is awesome. Brook is ok.
One Piece itself is older than its targeted audience. It's kinda inevitable to have these reactions to something that doesn't evolve at all.
As I said, i'm too addicted to stop, no matter how much these things bores me. But man I will drop dead before I think that Enma cutting the cliff scene was cool. That was just cringe. The "sword doesn't obey right away" thing happened with shuusui already. It's the SAME THING, now more exaggerated.
I REALLY hope that Zoro gets a cool fight again. These "oh i'm gonna trash talk you and beat yo ass with one shots" fights are plain boring. Pretty panels, but I can get better panels and scenes reading other stuff. Give me some Zoro vs Mr1 stuff again.
