Kishi never had much respect for Kisame at any point of the series. All his exchanges he was a punching bag who got clowned or demeaned in some way. Doesn't mean he's not strong, but yea nothing really got retconned. 2nd's story didn't get retconned either btw. He canonically still lost to...

Exactly my point.

2nd is a scrub that never got any hype heading into his revival in the war arc. He was written as someone who got bodied in a tag team with the Raikage against the Kinkaku/Ginkaku brothers and then died to 20 of their underlings at a later date (yes they weren't even included). He's literally a...

Nah, Kakuzu fighting Hashirama was legit supposed to hype him at the time. Kishi didn't know how far the powercreep would go. Kishi was always terrible with scaling the Kage. He kept contradicting himself and 3rd Hokage looks like a fodder compared to even the 2nd. Mihawk vs Vista is Oda...

There is a reason Oda drew this. Really nothing to discuss.

Except the OP sales on their own didn't see any significant improvement. They were steadily seeing a decrease overall and I don't think Wano did anything to stop this trend. The reason I brought other series up is we can compare it to the field to get better context, since overall manga sales...

Wano failing to deliver is the reason this forum is at its lowest point today. The manga sales and the post wano drop in activity kinda reflect how Wano itself failed to actually capitalize on the hype it brought. If Wano was actually successful, we would get the Marineford effect. When manga...

You're correct. Doesn't make the Shakky plot any better (it's dogwater) but it is true One Piece has been a caricature of real life since day 1, right down to its visuals. Shakky being kidnapped bringing the world economy to a halt, is on brand for One Piece.

Lmfao Wano or its writing didn't elevate shit. Tik tok edits with the new animation team is what made it big, could be any arc it wouldn't make a difference. That's when toei started taking the anime seriously.

Lackeybeard and Fraudger are what bother me about this flashback. Btw is this supposed to be Loki's backstory or something? This has to be the most sidetracked run on sentence in the history of flashbacks.

Lmfao glad you finally got around to reality 👍

Imagine if one of these random Rocks pirates had a Yonkou run away from them for being too troublesome to deal with. @Shiroyru

Nah he will defile them with his current writing. Let them rest.

Yea but imagine if they did today. People would lose their minds.

Imagine if one of these random rocks pirates got mentioned by the gorosei as a Yonkou candidate. People would lose their minds.
