    Controversial Worst writing in the manga

    I'm not even starting to talk about logical errors and consistency problems, since I could go on forever. I'm pointing out another general problem: Oda being incapable of sticking the landing of an arc post skip. When you look at Dressrosa, WCI, Wano and Egghead there is one common theme -...

    Speculations Will there be a crazy powercreep in the final saga of One Piece?

    Yes. OP is your standard shonen, of course the powercreep will happen. Heck, we've actually already seen it on Wano. Luffy went from being complete fodder compared to Kaido to ragdolling him in the end. Oda literally shoved ACoA, ACoC and a legendary DF awakening up his ass in Wano alone...

    Controversial General Political Discussion

    Not really, it's just the original phrase that was then translated to "divide and conquer" or "devide and rule". If you don't understand a simple wikipedia article about the Dunning Kruger effect, I feel very sorry for you. Since both you and Logiko seem to have trouble understanding it...

    Sure, if you don't understand it, be free to ask me to explain it to you (or read it up yourself). :BigW:

    Controversial General Political Discussion

    When I talk about "extreme right wing" I don't talk about moderate Trump or AfD voters (to stay in the picture). I talk about actual right wing extremists that often have undeniable discriminatory world views.

    Controversial General Political Discussion

    That's exactly why he is a "useful idiot" - just like the common supporters of the extreme right on the other end of the spectrum. Divide et impera He's so dedicated to the ideas of his radical leftist bubble (and therefore also the "enemies" of their ideals), that he perfectly plays into the...

    Controversial General Political Discussion

    I read silently for quite a while, but I had to laugh out loud while reading this. So much nonsense hidden in fancy sounding phrases, that you yourself seem to get off to. I will make it short: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect You're a not particularly smart individual with...

    Controversial What do you think one piece is missing?

    He couldn't do it and I don't blame him for that. The Succession War features Togashi's biggest strengths (character writing and ruthlessness with deaths/kills), which are ironically Oda's biggest weakness. Very few manga authors could pull it off and Oda has a completely different style.

    Controversial What do you think one piece is missing?

    Amazon Lily doesn't qualify as "major arc". That's why I specifically said "major arcs" (Alabasta, Skypiea, Water7/Enies Lobby, Thriller Bark, Fishmen Island, Punk Hazard, Dressrosa, WCI, Wano, Egghead). Amazon Lily was a short bridge arc like Little Garden or Jaya. Marineford was the climax...

    Controversial What do you think one piece is missing?

    1) Massively reduced amount of fake out deaths and sacrifice scenes that get nullified only a few chapters later after milking the readers' emotions earlier on. Really drags down the overall quality of the story. Either cut the crap and leave out those bs scenes or actually man up and deal with...

    Questions & Mysteries Who is ready for Admiral Koby?

    Same goes for Elizabello and his King Punch. Do you think Elizabello is VA material? I mean if people enjoy the really bad habit of nonsensical shonen powerups against any kind of inner manga logic, then yes, it would certainly be hilarious.

    Questions & Mysteries Who is ready for Admiral Koby?

    It really isn't. Yes, he started dramatically below Luffy, but right now he's arguably even more below current Luffy than he was back then. Remember that Koby is nowhere near Kaido level and even a Luffy that clapped Katakuri and Doflamingo (both characters who would toy with current Koby...

    Questions & Mysteries Who is ready for Admiral Koby?

    Because Koby is not Luffy, he isn't a prodigy. Koby is and has always been a product of ok talent and very, very hard work. He started several tiers below Luffy and while he has an admirable growth rate due to his work ethic, it still pales compared to Luffy's growth rate. Koby simply needs...

    Questions & Mysteries Who is ready for Admiral Koby?

    No, he certainly won't be anywhere close admiral level EoS. After a timeskip in the epilogue - yes.

    My God, I really read "I will be hard for you" there. :steef: Already wanted to say that I understand it, but you should keep that private!

    Speculations Shanks' supposed twin

    To get to the main point right away: I find it quite interesting that almost everyone seems to agree that the guy arriving at Elbaph is supposedly Shank's evil twin brother. But why exactly? The only thing alluding to that theory is that Oda has only shown this man's right side of the face on...
