Yes, indeed, I also noticed a "jaggy" aesthetic that is used for both Rocks and Kid, especially in the way Rocks tends to be drawn. Rocks was certainly the "jaggy" of his time. I just think it's a little funny.

Well, this is more a matter of logic and some common-sense than "facts". It doesn't necessarily mean it's more easily bowled over than facts. A cliffhanger demands resolution and satisfaction. It teases. A flashback is often experienced as a distraction, and subordinate to the main story. It...

That's the thing, the response is always a complete lack of logic. What does "accept what you like" mean when one is talking about what one doesn't like... Just because one doesn't drop something, doesn't mean one is happy about everything. And maybe what one likes has little to do with what one...

Oda is definitely mostly about the "hype" and posing panels. He thinks he can waste as much time as he wants as long as he adds those at the end of a chapter. His pacing is garbage, and that's ignoring his many breaks that he doesn't even make an exception for when the magazine has a break. He's...

The idea comes from older King Harald looking extremely similar. (Even with a similar beard and expression.) So, why not.

Oda was clearly very lazy about whatever techniques Luffy was using, it wasn't a huge moment. By the looks of it, he probably just used a very tiny bit, just enough so Kizaru feels a push or pang. Of course, the anime has to turn it into something almost completely different again (even with...

He extinguished a bigger or more complicated fire in Wano.

This chapter looks like a mess and is boring to read. But I think that Loki's statement about being born in the wrong era and having wanted to join Xebec likely prepares for him to become an ally to the real Joyboy.

Loki's gamble was extremely stupid, and now the whole story is getting into full padding mode again. As could have been suspected, Hajrudin is likely going to be the more important character, as he's the one with a dream and associated with Luffy. Even if he's boring. Loki possibly will only be...

Whatever happens, I don't think anyone will be seriously defeated (except for maybe Sanji or Hajrudin), and Loki will just escape or tell them to not bother him for now. Maybe he'll even just trick them to give the key or steal it. He is probably quite thankful to Luffy, actually. (At first.)

Calling Shamrock back is really annoying, and typical Oda. Only Oda would pull this off in this shameless, selfish manner, after preparing and pulling us along with a probable confrontation between Luffy/Zoro, Shamrock and Loki. Probably just to keep his childish Shanks agenda strong, although...

That is not really a known property of seastone. Also, it's rather unusual that excuses are so readily accepted for anything. There is also no explicit explanation given like that, maybe it will be later on, indeed we are supposed to think he is extremely powerful regardless. And certain evasion...

Oda just can't stop himself from making giants look pathetic, despite expectations and hopes that Loki would be different. That Gunko's beating was barely Dressrosa-level. And overall he looks like he has no resistances. But apparently this is according to plan to create some Norse mythology...

I agree about Koby, but one can argue Oda designed King to be discardable, partly as a plot device (the Lunarians) and partly as a contrast to Zoro. Because King was completely subservient to Kaido, even if Kaido deviated from his idea of Joyboy, whereas Zoro also has his own dream and would...

I thought this would be just another completely baseline chapter. But I would say this is even slightly below that. Maybe in the anime some of the travel scenes would be a nice time. But I have to say Oda's "amazing" panorama here as usual looks like a completely basic drawing of houses or a...
