It was serious quesiton tbh.

Back pre-ts people thought differently, but like any old chracters people waiting "named attacks" he been so dehyped im nto sure anymore
Like before i would paid money he gonna move last against FV out of all characters before luffy.

But now? Eh, with how oda writing even roger i dont think he is doing anything really relevant tbh. Like yeah it might be a big "feat" in the context of that chapter but its gonna be nothing noteworthy EoS i think
What do people really even want from him is my question

He has limited resources and if he becomes an early ally for Luffy then he just solves every single problem he has (If he's as strong as some people think he is)

There's also the issue of limited information. The Strawhats are put in certain scenarios where it makes sense for them to find out about certain things (especially with Robin in the crew) but the revs really... aren't
 

Fujishiro

Cheese for everyone!
you can still find translated SBS, magazines, interviews, and all kinds of information about One Piece. For me, it’s the main and only source of information about the One Piece universe.

Anyway, I hope you’re wrong 😉
I hope so too friend, those things you mentioned are good and all but the main engagement each week for this site are the spoilers. Whenever there is a break this place is kinda dead.

Well, the old theory/assumption was he just like top 1 of the good guys, beside EoS luffy (see wyper in Skypia, if you want to know what some people "want" in a grippable manner).
It was assumed he is holding back from participating in the story (not Luffys story, THE story) cause he is too strong
However, given the treatment of dodger, the structure of the world, imu, seraphim, ak, the post-apocalyptic nature, ancient weapons and so on, you get the idea. This idea seems to get more cap the more we read, especially now how oda setting up Labo out of all people to even steal that little thunder he has as the revo main focus guy. So what people expect from him currently? I guess big haki punch before jobbing to imus not final form or something along the lines?

That would be about power level, as for importance, you kinda localized it yourself that he is also kinda joke in that department, he was told by Nico Robin that ancient weapons confirmed exist (this means he is literally less knowledgeable than crocodile), he has no idea about imu, they didnt even have the THEORY that there was a leader that was directing the gorosei. He is confused about what going on with kuma, he was doubting Sabo because the fucking newspaper told some BS as if he were a rookie


So characterwise he is, like world strongest painter, i would argue already giga ass whih is quite impressive given he has not even a spotlight yet. The one thing you can say for akainu he has a strong, consistent characterization, actually, even during his desk days, and dragon has not even that.

Like you cant look me in the eye that oda gives a fuck about dragon like he gives a fuck about some other characters or kishimoto about minato and so on

But didn't Wyper do that exact same thing? He hit Enel with the reject dial which ended up not even working before jobbing to him. It looked cool and felt good as a reader but it all amounted to nothing

At the end of the day One Piece is Luffy's story and Dragon was never going to outshine the MC especially not in the final battle

As for him participating in the story there was never a moment where Dragon should've showed up and he didn't. He doesn't care about the One Piece (or he didn't before Egghead) nor is he a pirate that cares about territory enough to contend with the Yonko. Why would he involve himself in things that have nothing to do with his greater ambition?

Most people have no idea about Imu besides people that have met him before. There's little to no information on his existence and unless you've been told by someone that has met him before you won't have the slightest clue. That includes the Gorosei potentially having a leader. Information on the Ancient Weapons is incredibly scarce as well

Kuma made a deal with Vegapunk personally, Dragon isn't a psychic how would he know about that? As for the Sabo thing he was just being careful, we've seen traitors in One Piece before and I'm sure Dragon is aware that anyone could flip at any moment (see: Kanjuro betraying the Scabbards despite knowing them his entire life lol)

If you go back and look how often has Dragon actually been the center of attention? Like actually?

Akainu was essentially the main antagonist of Marineford. Is it supposed to be a surprise that Akainu has more of a leg to stand on as a character than Dragon with his combined 5 chapters of screentime

I don't feel strongly enough to discuss this, i just answered your question what people wanted. You just now listing why this happened and why thats plausible, which i didnt even bring up that anything like "it cant make sense". The talking point was not "there is no reasonable explanation why this can be the case."
There is a reason why he is not that popular
Bottom line, dragon was expected to be HIM, not just another guy that doesn't know what going on or getting run off by BBP and CP0 as a footnote in the story to hype those 2 more

Fair enough

Though I don't think expectations have much to do with his lack of popularity. People gas up Blackbeard 24/7 but he's only 50th in the polls

Mihawk has done less than nothing and he's 31st, though that's probably from Zoro fans
