Nope, just as much as I had a random roommate from Brazil who’s younger while I was an American living in Germany, it was totally normal that she was a OP head and it was that common to have that at this point. You’re assuming a lot. People like the story and series for different reasons. It’s...

Hmmm, you know One Piece is a global phenomenon right? Look at cons, and other forums and groups around the world. It’s very much alive. Whatever groups or forums you’re checking are still a small percentage of the fanbase of the entirety of One Piece. It’s no longer just IP that you remember it...

This site has a particular audience. You can’t treat it like a snapshot of the entire fanbase. It’s niche. Maybe get off this site sometimes

Speak for yourself. There are plenty of fans who care about the story and its characters. Hype moments and context I see enjoyed by many people. Its always like this until a string of sudden "hype" moments happen and the short attention span folks come crawling back wanting their threads and...

Hmmm I can’t rule out the possibility, it’s a good one considering devil fruits are manifestations of dreams and desires. Goes with the theme of the story and grand enough to seem impossible and child like. A good idea but I’m sure the nuance of how Luffy achieves the dream will be interesting...

So many shonen series has nepotism all through it. Don’t see the point in singling out One Piece for it. Most series also don’t lay out the nepotism at the start either.

Pretty lame to don an avy of a series you think is shit, and spend multiple hours a week visiting and posting about that very same series. The optics are clear. Its just posturing and any other regular person would look at that and go "Yeah, ok loser. You love it."

They love it enough to pretend they despise it, but it’s crack to post on a forum. Hating is not far removed from love after all. Bunch of tsunderes for Oda here

Once the series ends, many on this forum gonna be lost orphans looking for another manga to obsess over

For them it’s part of the fun to hate post on a fan forum if the story goes a different way than they expect. And yes this has gone on for years, even during pre timeskip Arlong Park days. But honestly that community genuinely likes the story and engages with it. I think it’s just what happens...

I see, but even that for their expectations would be too much of a power difference because of the amount of other powerhouses the WG has. Frieza didn’t have a fraction of that under his wing. Would be impossible to defeat.

If they were to totally obliterated, wouldn’t it be called an “asspull” by the fans on this forum to catch up to that level of strength in…one saga? It was enough of an impressive display I dunno what you’re expecting

It is unmatched in the scope of its story and love of the craft of drawing manga by Oda. When it ends it will be more prestigious and mythic in its ambition. And it does have a lot of moving moments emotionally in the story and payoff (and sometimes fumbles that too). But not better than other...

You do realize it becomes plot point for present as well. Context to give more dynamics later in the present story. It usually always works that way.

This criticism doesn’t make sense. The whole every character looks like a Nami clone argument is lame. Look at Kubo, Toriyama, and every jojo character. The faces also look exactly the same. It’s a style of an artist.
