Similar to the Akatsuki? You’re on drugs
The Akatsuki are iconic because of their role in the story and their ties to the main characters
Just take a look at the fan favorite members of the Akatsuki
Itachi - Sasuke’s brother and main goal that’s set up since Sasuke’s introduction
Pain -...
Yeah maybe they'd be iconic if they played a role earlier
But all of the manga with super iconic groups of antagonist typically have them play a role in the middle of the story at the latest. You're comparing antagonists that were either setup from the very beginning of the story (like the...
No they couldn't have lol
The Knights of God were introduced in the Final Saga of One Piece
Let's see when the factions you mentioned were set up or introduced:
The Akatsuki were setup/introduced in Part 1
The Phantom Troupe were setup from the beginning and fully introduced in Yorknew City...
Smoker is the worst here by far relative to expectations set by the fans
Dudes thought he was gonna be the next Garp. Went on to lose 3 times in one arc before being punted into irrelevance by Oda
Then Koby stole all of his shine
I can’t think of a character that’s been done worse than him
My whole post is strictly talking about the manga
There are certain arcs where it's nearly nonexistent and then there are other arcs where it's a problem
He's been surprisingly normal in Elbaf and he basically didn't do anything in Egghead. His gag wasn't even really a "gag" in WCI I'd argue...
I mean don’t get me wrong it’s cool but what do you want the fans to do? Throw a party?
It’s a new sales figure, cool
It’s not like there was a movie announcement or anything else to go along with it
See people say it’s missing the team aspect but I never really understood it. I mean what’s really changed?
Post timeskip just like pre timeskip has arcs where certain Strawhats are left to the wayside while other Strawhats step up to the plate
In Little Garden Sanji is left on the sidelines...
I mean are some of the latest SH fights really better than Luffy’s though?
Zoro vs Lucci could barely even be considered a fight in the manga, just a few clangs every other chapter before cutting away. Zoro vs Kaku isn’t even worth discussing
Sanji vs S-Shark had a cool moment or two but...
Ichigo was ass in TYBW and that’s a major complaint the fans had while the chapters were releasing. I know people don’t like MC centric stories all that much but I think a lot less people like stories where the MC barely feels like the MC unless it’s done well
He came back with basically the...
I don’t agree with their decision making but I can see the logic behind them
It was cool to see but I’m not sure how the global audience would feel if the heroes we follow just curb stomp everyone for the first 2 seasons
The SH’s vs Marines is an interesting concept but I just don’t see it happening anymore
There are too many characters to fight and not enough characters left to fight them
The Final War would have the World Government (Imu + 5 Gorosei + X remaining Holy Knights), Marines (Akainu + 3...
In all fairness this is more of an OPLA thing in general
I think they wanna add more credibility/fear factor to the villains by having the Strawhats struggle a bit more. Cause if you actually reread pre timeskip you’ll come to realize that the Strawhats pretty much sweep all of their opponents...
Well assuming the Final War takes place in Mariejois it’ll be the typical OP battle setup
Each SH goes to their own corner of the “arena” for their matchup
I mean she has the scarf thing
But there’s a chance that her fruit just comes with it (or Oda didn’t think the awakening designs through when she was introduced)
