The Holy Knights have never felt really interesting or cool to me. This arc didn't change my feelings about them. And Imu doesn't feel too special either.
Remember Shinokuni in Punk Hazard, and how it turned out that the weapon was largely harmless, with none of its victims having died?
That was real bs, and a great example of how far Oda will go to avoid real consequences in One Piece, and why the tension died because of it.
I have long stopped caring. The RA are the least interesting of the powers, and Oda has done nothing with Dragon since Loguetown so I don't have much expectation for him.
Wano also could have been the opportunity for Zoro to learn more about the great blades, how they were forged, their history and power, and to get a better understanding of his own blades. It could also have been an opportunity to revisit his relations with Kuina and Tashigi upon learning about...
Yeah, this scene helped give Zoro depth and development. However, he's been flanderized since, with him only serving as a badass fighter without any real development. Part of why Wano was trash was that it was by far the greatest opportunity to develop Zoro further and give him more depth back...
Years ago, I may have been excited for Elbaf, but Wano indeed permanently tainted my enjoyment and perception of post-TS One Piece, and Oda has done little, if anything, to correct the errors he has made in Wano; the same story problems are all there, with only superficial attempts to make them...
I already had the feeling in Dressrosa that aside from Doflamingo himself, and Gladius and Dellinger and Lao G to a lesser extent and for middle Straw Hats and their allies, the Donquixote Pirates weren't shown to be as powerful and dangerous as they should have been.
Diamante, Trebol and Pica...
Wano was too ambitious, had too many ingredients and players, too many allies and too many antagonists (who were given too little room to breathe) at the same time, which Oda didn't know what to do with, he used several of them too much (Oden, the Scabbards, Yamato), some too little, refused to...
Fjord.
A tense and austere movie about clashes of cultures, religious education and education that are considered progressive, Norway's unique and often scary child welfare service called the Barnevernet, and how it's capable of taking children away from their parents with methods that are...
