I Think Oda has been trying a new art style in Elbaf. He is rounding the edges, shortening the proportions. Perhaps Oda wants the One Piece cast to feel a bit younger.
How can one man's takes be so based on one topic (One Piece), but so cringe on another (you know what I'm referring to). Maybe your takes in THAT thread are also based and I'm just not enlightened enough yet to see it?
When you read a story it goes BOTH ways : the author shares his vision, but you will ALSO share your own biases & interpretations to understand it. Do not forget it.
You are NOT the characters. They have their OWN desires, strengths, needs and weaknesses. The parasocial bond that you create with agendas makes you forget it.
Today, Oda would be trashed on for Killing Ace in the way he did it and it would take weeks before someone finally explain why it happened and why it's great.
But what I see are not critics. I see the result of the subversion of expectation. Something that over the years, has been transformed from enjoyment to hate
Critics are essential, but when you are projecting yourself too FAR in the writing, you stop being a reader and you start being a writer. So, be a writer.
"I wanted to see" "I expected to see" "I think it should be like..." "It's badly written" - Write your damn own story or learn to be surprised and accept surprises
Fun fact, Usopp's fear, Zoro's cut, Sanji's power etc.. are very similar to Luffy's gear 5. They are influenced by how the character see the world.>>
What this means is that if Usopp thinks something is scary, he will be scared, but strangely, you will find him jump into the ocean of cloud without a hint of fear when it's actually ULTRA dangerous. Or play with mygals for ex.
I know you don't believe me when I say this. But you won't discover OP twice in your life. This experience is too unique. Don't waste it to troll or hate..
You who voted 6 or lower to OP. I genuinely want you to enjoy the story. Please, drop the manga for now. Take it all in later. It will change your perspective.
