General & Others Is Elbaf The Best Arc in the Series?

THIS IS TRUE PEAK

THIS IS TRUE PEAK

No arc comes close.

 

[Rumble]

It's been great, but for me it's not even close.

 

[mly90]

Its overrated garbage

 

[Logiko]

Bottom comment was probably left by Logiko

Haha nah
Although I believe Elbaph to be amazing and fresh (which I think is the reason why so many people love it) I would not consider it a masterclass worthy of being taugh in storytelling classes for years on end. At least not yet, I'm waiting for more.

Wano, Whole Cake, Water 7, the Marineford Saga... these are better contenders in my opinion

 

[GeneralP123]

Nah, still Marineford for me.

Wouldn't care about Elbaph if it wasn't for the surprisingly amazing Rocks flashback.

 

[Logiko]

Add a "no but it's an amazing arc" for me please

 

[Captain Luffy]

Jaya & skypie...the best arc of all time

 

[Blahmigooo]

"Best" is always subjective.

Interms of the amount of new high profile character introduction and new lvls of power it negg diffs every arc.

Interms of plot
Drama
Emotion
Battle,
Other arc would be better.
Overall, it's for sure better than Egghead

Elbaf is actually great on a re-read. If you cast aside agenda, it's got everything from lore, callbacks, flashbacks, interesting characters, and crazy revelations. Imu's design reveal, Shamrock reveal, Loki and the legendary fruit, black Nika, wings getting conqueror's haki, Xebec and Roger, even Gunko and her secret eye powers

I would even argue Elbaf the best arc of post-timeskip. The pacing remains to be seen but so far so good. The only issue is weird placement of flashbacks like Shuri but even that makes sense since we need to have context for her and Brook

 

[vikas]

Yes Oda can't top this,

 

[mmd]

Lmao
100% no

 

[Bt7207.]

Still marineford

 

[Wanderer]

 

[BlackLegFring]

Not even close. The post-skip Oda habit of dragging things out in the 2nd half of arcs hasn’t done it any favours either

 

[FutureWarrior123]

Best of the post skip, probably top 5 overall.

 

[Captain E.L.]

No.
Marineford,impel down,sabaody and enies lobby better imo.
But probably the best arc after time skip.

 

[Necrohol]

Not even close. Enies Lobby is much better.

 

[MasterD]

It depends on how you personally classifie it. In terms of lore, it is probably the best, as many things were shown to us, but it is a trend with all arcs of the new world in each and every one we discovered something new. In this one we discovered a lot more then any, but in the next one we might find even more. For many probably the best wil remain Marinefort because the emotional impact was bigger. I would say that for my personal ranking this up there for the amount of things we found out.
