You have to master that phase of denial.

It is the Wano endgame (and no, I don't like it either).

Here is what I wrote in the waiting room yesterday (concerning the people still believing the raid will fail):

"I really like Morj, but I think he and a lot of guys here vastly overestimate Oda (to be more precise: the complexity of OP).

It's a standard shonen manga, nothing more.

Oda is applying the same old arc structure he has used for 20+ years here:

1. Arrive at the new island.
2. Split up, have some short adventures, meet the locals and learn about the problems on the island.
3. Face the enemies for the first time and suffer some kind of "defeat".
4. Flashback about some local hero.
5. Rebound and regroup, preparing to go for the final battle.
6. Some big overlaying threat that threatens to kill the entire island is introduced (nuke in Alabasta, Advent of Thunder in Skypiea, Buster Call in EL, Shinokuni in PH, Birdcage in DR, Onigashima dropping down in Wano etc.)
7. Final fights are being set up.
8. SH crew beats their opponents.
9. Luffy beats the main villain in a long fight, island-wide threat is banned in the last second.
10. Everyone regenerates, then they celebrate and leave the island.

It has been the exact same thing here in Wano.

This isn't some great or complex work of literature.

It's a fucking shonen manga and Oda isn't Shakespeare or GRRM. He is using his usual arc blueprint once again - the raid is going through.

If you like that rather "simplistic" writing style or not is written on a different piece of paper ... "

I think that's what Oda wants you to believe, but in-between 8 and 10 there will probably be a twist or more. And Oda's editor already said that the ending will be surprising.

Luffy : fighting exhausted Kaido who fought 16 individual 1v3
Everyone : Luffy is emperor level
People here should look for jobs or some shit.

It's like Mihawk and Crocodile are Warlord tier so it's technically correct, if people start saying Luffy is the World's strongest creature then that's when the bitch slappings must begin.

The worst part is the idiots who called Skypeia filler and said to skip it like Thriller Bark, when Oden's flashback showed how truly important Skypeia was to the overarching narrrative. Also Enel's cover story is gonna age much more interestingly/well once Vegapunk comes into the story finally and we get more lore drops about the OP's worlds ancient history, races, moon/space and such too.

Also now with the Sun God Nika reveal, Skypeia became even more important and "canonical" and it was the arc that captured the spirit of OP the most too, the most adventure-like and whimsical. Only Whole Cake Island has competed with it truly so far, which is really disappointing and disheartening.

OP takes itself far too seriously now and lost a lot of it's charm, spirit, imagination, characterisation and such. It's perversion has gone THROUGH THE ROOF over and after the TS too.
