That is not as impressive as it sounds. Holy Knights' whole schtick is their immortality. You take that away, and they are basically fodder (well, not really, but you get the point). Admirals and Gorosei are strong, yes. But... Here is the thing: wars are unpredictable. Even if you are...

Probably doesn't want to reveal too much. After all, this is just an Imu preview, the same time Kuzan got one by beating up Luffy and Blackbeard got an off-screen one by destroying the Evil Drum Kingdom. Whatever we see from Imu in this arc, it will be nowhere close to Imu's full power...

Yeah, same here. From early descriptions he seem to be like Blackbeard, but he turned out to be a really cool guy in the end. Well, I can't say he is my favorite admiral (that would be Fujitora), but I sure like him a lot more than I did before. Though I always did like him - his airheadedness...

I have to say, Zoro using a Holy Knight for practicing Supreme King Haki is one of my favorite things in the entire manga.

For me, it is Sentomaru. I just thought he'd be a small-time antagonist upon his first appearance... and then Vegapunk happened, and he suddenly shot up to be one of my favorite characters.

Popularity is not a measure of quality, and in any case, if you want to talk about things being discussed, what about things that are still discussed despite having been written long before Internet? By all measures, Lord of the Rings beats One Piece by a massive margin.

Some of the filler is taken directly from D.Gray Man novels, however. On the other hand, the Hollow anime is terrible, and lacks some of my favorite manga "filler".

So here is the thing... I have seen a lot of people complain that Kaido wants to fight strong opponents and wants to die... yet never does anything. He does attempt to attack Whitebeard, but that was in a fit of drunken range. So why this contradiction? Why does this drunken, suicidal...

It is. One chapter every three months. True.

Personally, I only keep up with One Piece because my mother's reading it LOL. I did read Vegapunk chapters for the hidden history... and it gave some good answers TBF... but Wano I mostly skipped and I've started skipping Elbaf when I realized what is happening. My focus right now is D.Gray Man...

Agreed, that does seem like an issue. But as I said, I do believe the series suffers from being too long for something relatively so formulaic.

So I noticed I have gotten more and more tired of One Piece ever since Marineford... if it weren't for Oda dangling these sweet Void Century mysteries in front of us ever since Egghead, I am honestly not sure I'd be reading it any more. And this basically sums it up: One Piece is formulaic...

Not really. At this point, I am only really excited about D.Gray Man, though World Trigger and Akagami no Shirayukihime also get me reasonably interested when a new chapter drops. One Piece... I don't dislike it per se, and there are interesting things, but it is honestly feeling kinda sloggish...

So who are your top deuteragonists/tritagonists in manga and/or anime? Mine are, in order: Lavi (D.Gray Man) Armin Arlert (Attack on Titan) Matsuno Chifuyu (Tokyo Revengers) Roronoa Zoro (One Piece) Accelerator (A Certain Magical Index) Hyuse (World Trigger) Karma Akabane (Assassination...

Reviving this cos World Trigger anime is trash in Season 1, which is like... 90% of the content. But manga is actually interesting. Anyhow... just something for fun:
