General & Others Are Post Timeskip Flashbacks Better than Pre Timeskip ?

[pg13]

 

[BlackLegFring]

No. Post time skip flashbacks tend to be dragged out. Even the ones that typically get praised like the Kuma one has all the Bekori nonsense.

Besides that, they tend to be inconsistent and negatively impact the characterization of characters like Whitebeard. There’s repetitive elements as well, and timeline issues too where Oda has to improvise on the fly to reconcile events (like having Oden dance for 5 years to make up for the gap from Roger’s activities to the return to Wano.)

 

[Tai long]

yes because it mostly focuses on call backs that couldn't be done pre ts

 

[Loki D. Terror]

On average no. G4 Snakeman vs Katakuri , Pre G5 luffy vs Drunken mode Kaido , Zoro vs king , G4 luffy vs Doffy are some of the good fights in post skip.

All the fights in ennies lobby were good.

 

[Kumathegoat]

yes

Roger Pirates, Kuma and Xebec

B
b..but he asked about flashbacks

 

[Gaimon The Pirate]

Not in a world where Noland exists

 

[Devilbat]

For me they're comparable quality, it's just that previously we mostly had SHP flashbacks, and now we get more people in the mix....which sometimes feels kinda like filler to me.

I loved Xebec tho.

 

[TheD.]

Nothing beats Pre ts flashbacks With Gold and Oden playing as the ost.

 

[Yoho]

Yes but they can afford to be a bit shorter sometimes they stretch them out unnecessarily

 

[MegaSpider]

No, postskip flashbacks are mostly filler.
Like did we need to spend 3 chapters on Ginny? We spent much less on most strawhats moms combined.
And like 8 chapters for the whole Kuma/Bonney flashback? Now look at how irrelevant Bonney is this arc. She has like 5 panels and has done less than most extras.
Why spend so much time on side characters who will just get sidelined?

Same thing with Shakky in GV flashback.

 

[Loki D. Terror]

Rocks pirates FB was peak. Kuma FB was also good. Same for law and Doffy. As a whole yes post skip FBs are better.

 

[Djordje]

Xebec / Loki flashback >> other flashbacks.

This.
Although the flashbacks are still usually pretty good, but maybe a bit below pre ts flashbacks as a whole.

I thought kuma Story wasnt liked bc of exagerration

 

[park_min young]

It did imo, Oda got better at this format, he upped the stakes and emotional aspect. Law, Doffy, Senor Pink, Kuma, Xebec and Loki, Fisher Tiger...

Even Oden’s flashback was great storytelling if he just didn’t include Roger and WB too much tbh.
