Exactly
That's the start of goofypiece

 

[Halyup]

Kubo understood this which is why Ywach is so goated.

Aizen clears and a better antagonist

your headcanon>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> your brain

This clown is having a meltdown over his precious Imcel.

No one told you to head canon his importance into something it wasn't.

What we're seeing is what Oda want's us to see. A 800 year old loser getting embarrassed every other week.

Look forward to the rest of Elbaf, Okay?

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Mean while in Naruto.

Fuck off

 

[Loki D. Terror]

Literally never happened

because gaban was always stronger

Admiral fans were always right for decades about oda using old men to hype admirals, while you turds were in denial with your yonkobums dying to rookies.

Imu is just another villain who got owned by the weakest old legend.
He needs many transformations to keep up with base nerfed admiral

Akainu's equal in Kuzan was bullied by old garp in group fight. Admirals are also Clowned by oda.

It's been dead for a long time.

Too bad Kuzans a cuck former admiral and not an actual Admiral so it doesn’t count buddy

 

[DenifClock]

Is it bad if I will keep on reading One Piece, even though supposedly it's not worth it?

Tension is only one tool to make good stories

Tension is only one tool to make good stories

the most important tool, when every problem solution is just a punch.

If Luffy was able to fix problem with a different way, than yes. But since FIX of all problem is PUNCH tension is something that makes a story alive.

 

[Konstantis]

It's been dead for a long time.

yes, but after immortal Nika, who can heal wounds of crazy ancient swords, there is nothing left to expect

Oda literally had Shanks tell everyone that Imu is "a being with power beyond imagination".

It's pretty clear that he wants Imu to be this allmighty God while simultaneously wanting to let Gaban, Loki and his golden goose Luffy look like monsters.

Oda simply doesn't realize that you can't have everything and once again taps into the trap of wanting way too much.

The result is this complete mess without any kind of tension and with Imu looking like an incompetent clown that we have now.

It's the same concept with his fake-out deaths: He wants to squeeze raw emotion out of the reader (dramatic death scene) while also actually wanting to keep the character alive (resolution that they somehow survived).

The result is once again that by now every single tension from the manga is gone, because we know there simply aren't any consequences.

"Portrayal" is subjective and you're just writing your own narrative about it.

Anyway, if you want to be certain that Imu is weak then go ahead. I find it funny because you guys hyped him up so much that now you're mad he's not invincible.

No. Only one tool out of many.

Now, I'm not saying that there isn't tension here, there absolutely is. I'm simply telling you : Tension is only a tool.

A good story doesn't necessarily need tension... at all. It is a very westernian and hollywoodian vision of storytelling to think that tension is fundamental in narration.

Yeah, nah

In a massive battle shonen like One Piece, that twist and development inherently rely on stakes and tension. You don't write a 1,100+ chapter action epic about a global war against a tyrannical government without narrative tension.

Claiming tension is just a "Hollywood tool" ignores how Oda has written One Piece for nearly thirty years. Oda is the absolute king of using artificial countdowns and extreme tension to drive his arcs:

• The ticking clock of Alabasta's bomb.
• Enies Lobby before Robin reaches the Gates of Justice.
• The birdcage in Dressrosa.
• The island of Onigashima falling on Wano.
• The global flooding countdown by Vegapunk.

Oda loves tension. Saying a story doesn't need it might apply to a slice-of-life manga, but applying it to the climax of One Piece is pure delusion.

P.S. Weeeeeding Caaakeee also goes there.

• The ticking clock of Alabasta's bomb.

• The island of Onigashima falling on Wano.

W7's "get Robin off the train before it reaches EL".
EL's "get Robin before she reaches the Gates of Justice".
EL's "get out of EL before the buster call".

Enel's judgment of the island.
M3's wax cake turning Zoro, Nami, and Vivi into statues.

Each arc has at least one countdown threat.
