Well I really meant is the resolution of his dream, but even then it doesn't have to be. Even so, let's be honest here. Where else would he even get enough panel time to get character focus that wouldn't be disjointed other than Elbaph? There are likely not that many arcs after Elbaph, and...

Ussop was doomed even before the start of Elbaph. He should of already went through some serious character development, Elbaph logically should of served as the resolution of Ussop's character arc. Instead, people want to either speed run his characterization to the point that it'd practically...

Like some of the others have said, he's been able to call upon Advanced Conquerors on command ever since he utilized it in Onigashima. He simply had no idea what he was using prior to Gaban telling him up front.

Crazy how Zoro's more FRIENDLY and COOL with random ass giants he just met than he is with the bum ass cook he's always wants to get into it with...

How is it even a "friendship"? The only times we've seen them even be cool with each other was like in the Pre-TS, and that was rare. Nowadays, the only thing going on between them is a weird need to be at each other's necks whenever they see each other, and that gag has been done to death imo.

That's a nice quote, but characters, especially in One Piece, can be incorrect or just straight up lying, and that's sometimes thanks to a lack of information. Gaban's telling Zoro this because Zoro had no clue what power he was even using, but Gaban hasn't really seen him use it in action. As...

When did Zoro ever have trouble controlling Advanced Conquerors? He simply didn't even know he was using it. There wasn't a single sign that he struggled with the power itself. Just made up coped from the usual suspects.

Because Oda can't write character growth if his life depended on it. Ussop wouldn't get besmirched so much if Oda allowed him to gradually grow as a character throughout the story instead of making him do the same song and dance for over a decade. Giving him some good fights would help as well...

Get real. Ussop's not gonna do anything significant enough to be a worthwhile payoff for how long we've journeyed with Ussop. There hasn't been enough gradual growth for Ussop as a character over the series for him suddenly becoming a Brave Warrior of the Sea to be natural. It'll be an asspull...

I know I've shitted on how poorly executed Zoro's legacy journey of becoming the WSS is, but the fact that the best title fans of Sanji can come up with is the "God of Love", it really shows that Sanji's legacy has never begun, which is rather sad :milaugh:

Honestly I was thinking in terms of ranking Oda's character writing in terms of fiction in general/the concept of what writing a character would entail. Realistically I could rank it a 2 just from the amount of easy lay ups Oda missed in terms of potential character development, but I gave him...

Would much of this piracy crap be happening if the World Government never existed? Just sounds like the fodder marines are at best trying to take care of the symptoms so that the cancer that is the WG stay on top. Even if it's not their intent to protect the evil government, that's what the...

And Garp serves under a regime that upkeeps racist, slaving, genociding, raping elites that uses his fraudulent title as propaganda to give the gullible plebs a false sense of security and to bring nations under their umbrella to tax the everliving shit out of them, which inevitably makes...

Ace did more good for the world saving Luffy than most of the underlings of the fascist government ever had.

They'll be coming back stronger because Imu's gonna use Domi Reversi on these bums.
