No, otherwise the majority of the fanbase would shit on it instead of it being one of the top rated arcs in the series. Oda cares more about the story than a rigid power system.

Chapter wasnt nearly as bad as what the spoiler thread was making it out to be. This forum loves to complain if things dont go their way. I mean it was clear Sommers and Killingham are scrubs compared to Zoro and Sanji. They will lose here as target practice, and be replaced with much more...

You’re wasting your time thinking you can have intelligent conversations on here, or nuanced ones without fan bias or Oda is a hackkkk mentality but they eat, breathe, and sleep this shit. This thread would be better at arlongpark. This site is just trolling, shits, and giggles. It’s fun but...

There’s nothing that indicates this beyond a healthy competition the two had during serialization. This thread reeks of the old days of Narutofan vs Arlongpark banter

I don’t think it’s a good comparison. The characters get stronger as they travel the seas in OP, and the rest is about resolve and willpower of the characters. There are limits tot hat explanation but nothing feels contrarian to this approach. DBZ can do the same. Off screen training

Do you think it’s more interesting to treat attacks and situations like its base damage and defense stats like an rpg? Real life doesn’t even work like that. Sometimes you can take something a lot better when you expect it. Versus getting hit blind sided or surprised. I don’t wanna make excuses...

People getting worked up over Hajrudin tanking Omen attacks need to stop treating powerscaling as priority. Not once have we seen Hajrudin fight seriously since Dressrosa, so clearly he got a buff. People act like Oda prioritizing the narrative over powerscaling is bad? If it is believable and...

I dont see a correlation at all. This is a reach. Its just a demon form honestly.

I like Gear 5, it seems fine except for Luffy’s over the top identity change. I think he loses character depth when he goes Gear 5. Maybe that’s the thing he has to overcome, the devil fruit dictating a bit too much. If Luffy says he feels the most free in this form, the. That’s a problem...

Yonko or currently known characters of the world are not meant to be the strongest of all. Narratively it was established to be Imu and Joyboy until Luffy surpasses that. It isnt that deep really or complicated. Been reading shonen manga and One Piece for how long and that still isnt obivous...

I never understood this whole Luffy is weak to piercing slashing attacks thing. It’s not like he’s any weaker than anyone else getting slashed or pierced. Flesh is flesh. I think it’s more he’s vulnerable to that whereas blunt attacks he is resistant to/absorbs it. It’s not a weakness like...

Great chapter, it gave the tension that many were complaining about.

Whole Cake Island, both fits but especially the whole mafia bit

It’s not really a late thing or not if it serves the narrative of the story, not some shonen formula. His journey to realize he has conqueror’s is the whole point.

Sanji is a wing and comparable to Zoro and younger than Jinbei so it’s not “late”. For Sanji it’s not late narratively or in the story. Zoro hasn’t even mastered his yet and just got it.
