Biggest takeaway from the chapter: Literally everything we have "known" about the "surpremely evil Rocks pirates" has just been some WG propaganda. In reality they were like the bit more wild counterpart of the SH pirates. Whatever happened on God Valley broke them and put some of them on a...

Aged like fine milk like so many posts in this thread :D Always fun to come back here in general, because it's just a case-study of "who learns from the past" and "who doesn't learn from the past". Man those finished Elbaf and Laughtale arcs were superb! ;-) You can celebrate if we are just...

The activeness has declined because the interest in the OP manga is declining overall due to multiple reasons ...

I am 99% sure Oda didn't have any idea what the "God valley incident" would really look like up until recently, which is why he also cut it out from Kuma's flashback.

I think we've seen enough now to make that statement: Oda is NOT portraying Rocks and his crew of nutjobs as villains. Heck, Oda actually portrays them as somewhat lovable rowdies: They are protecting and worshipping Shakky, they are going after corrupt organisations (the scumbag monastery)...

Can we agree on one thing here: The way Rocks & his crew of lovable misfits are presented throughout the whole flashback 100% makes it clear that they're NOT supposed to be real villains. Heck, they're actually somewhat lovable. Once again the inner core of the WG (Imu, Gorosei, CDs) is...

This coupled with the nostalgia are 95% of what drives OP these days. It certainly isn't the story anymore (my God has the writing quality fallen off post-skip).

Because of his fans that say he'll be admiral level during the final war. This would be the biggest powercreep in shonen history and would be inconsistent as hell. His diehard fans are so adamant about it though, that fans who use logic (well, shonen-logic) are fed up. He will be an admiral...

As for the chapter itself: A nice read, but why on earth did we need half a chapter of seemingly unrelated Kuja wanking? And there are still people that believe OP will end in 2027 lmfao ...

I really want to see what actually happened on God Valley now. With the island completely disappearing and everything, I expect Imu to appear and flex his might on the Rocks pirates in the finale there.

"He did not do anything more than this, as he knew he could not" Oda literally writing "Imu >>>> Rocks" in shining letters.

Well, he won so many times for a reason.

Vast majority of such systems is better than Haki. Haki was a thing that Oda never intended from the get-go and just introduced once he realized that Luffy can't beat every Logia user with some lucky plot device (using blood/water against Crocodile, being immune to lightning).

Wait, how on earth did Frieren get here over Maomao lmao? Nothing against the former (good character, great show), but as a pure character it's not close.

Those 5 are all of such exceptional storywriting quality that you could basically justify any order.

In terms of storywriting any of those 5 negs One Piece.

1) Based on the game rules: It seems a few guys only voted for OP and not any other matchup. Those votes don't count according to the rules. 2) Let's be honest: If we solely judge the manga, it's a deserved win for Berserk anyway.

Lmfao. One Piece isn't even complex in the slightest. The only people that really think One Piece is "complex" are teenagers with some middle of the road education that lets them recognize some very basic themes Oda incorporates (racism etc.) which then leads to them thinking it has to be...

If you let emotion and personal feelings out of it and solely judge using objective criteria (inner-manga logic, character development etc.) there is absolutely no way anyone ranks One Piece anywhere near Berserk.

This is a thread about "best manga" and not "my favorite manga". I personally enjoy watching a lot of nonsense over heavy stuff like "Schindler's list", too, yet I would never claim that those things I enjoy more are "better". Berserk dwarves OP in every single objective writing criteria you...
