Comparing Holy Jobbers to Flying 6 is insult to Flying 6
They maybe weaker but at least F6 had better characters and appearances
The jobbers not even worthy to be called as Holy Roppo
Nobody had high expectations for Flying 6, yet they showed surprisingly nice feats.

Expectations for the holy knights were at an all time high, yet they seem like genuinely horrible fighters carried only by their regen.
 
Not his fault, Odas pacing and stalling is horrible.
It’s not necessarily pacing, and it’s certainly not stalling.

The issue is Oda has lost his touch when it comes to building a sequence. One Piece has always been heavy on moments, but those moments were built up and delivered within a sequence that it didn’t distract from but enhanced.

Current One Piece looks familiar, but it doesn’t have the same foundation of sequences for its moments to stand on.

It’s like comparing movies from a director that used to be praised for their ability blend drama and action in memorable ways when they were forced to work with a small budget, only to lose that touch once they got 100s of millions behind the production.

Oda can still deliver on drama, that’s why the flashbacks have a high hit rate, but it’s blending that drama with action that he’s no longer elite at.

I’m not saying that either. He just lost the aura that you’d expect him to have. He’s still strong but he doesn’t feel unbeatable at this point which you’d expect the final villain to still feel like that.
With the regeneration gimmick Oda should have taken a page out of Kishimoto's book (one of the rare good pages) and just make Imu go through Edo Madara's phase here.
Destroy the whole giant army, Strawhat crew and Gaban by himself. Use flashy AoE attacks that lay the island to waste. Be untouchable and even when they manage to land a big hit just regenerate like it's not a big deal. Have the attitude of "I'll subjugate your whole country and MAKE you my soldiers".
But first he would need to make Elbaf actually feel lived in and have more than 50 citizens.

But shouldn't they be bad fighters? I mean, they're still spoiled and decadent World Nobles, how many times have they been dispatched to a situation where someone can really fight back, due to their powers?

Phbbt, like Naruto? The countries of one village? Please.

And Edo Tensei Madara was horrible. He was just a kid on a playground going "NUH UH! I have this magic power that counters your power".

I was specifically talking about the one instances of Edo Madara first appearing and facing a whole army alone. I wasn't clear enough I guess.

And idk why the sassy tone with this line "Phbbt, like Naruto? The countries of one village? Please." Elbaf feeling small does not mean One Piece's world is. Just Elbaf in particular.

And how was Madara handled? Zetsu stabs him in the back, and once Kaguya is defeated, he unceremoniously just dies to lack of Chakra. Naruto didn't even defeat him.

A villain who is invincible only to die abruptly to plot isn't a good villain. Even if Imu isn't invincible, it won't be one sudden act of plot that sees his defeat.

Me: Says Oda could have redone the Edo Madara vs Shinobi alliance scene (the one with the meteor)
You: But how did Madara end?

You can take the shiny armor off once in a while, gang. I look like a Nardo glazer in this convo.
 
He can't hit Zoro
If Zoro was just hitting him with attacks like the one against Lucci or King, Sommers would be handicapped and the end would be similar as his earlier situation or like KHams.
Sommers literally had Zoro trapped in a net of thorns last chapter and instead of aiming Gram at him he shooted at some rocks to show how destructive it is, then dropped a monologue and left Zoro thinking about what Gaban and Loki told him... That's what I mean when I talk about being careless.

Switch Sommers mentality with someone like Garling or Nusjuro and Zoro is dead right there.
I'm not even slandering Zoro, just pointing it out.
