Or characters aren't as cool or interesting as one would had hoped (for the story). Like might be the case for Kidd, for example. (And other reasons.) However Oda still makes sure that enough things are interesting and satisfying for an end war.

Talking about characters "disappointing" is not the same and much more subjective than the arc being disappointing, bad or boring etc. Different topic. For example, there were a lot of annoying things at the end or all throughout the WCI, and definitely many found the portrayal of BM or Katakuri...

Kidd. Basil will wreck slightly surprisingly and probably let get someone go "beyond his limits". Not before he probably fumbles, however, or perhaps at the same time (with some special conditions). Nothing wrong with Denjiro being smart and polite, though it's funny how predictable people...

I didn't imply much different, only that I wouldn't maybe count all cheap shots the same way. Haki goes without saying, as far as I'm concerned. I don't know about Cabaji, seems very minor, but that didn't look convincing one bit. Edit: Minor amendation: it was simply a distraction for the main...

Why do you assume Shanks and Mihawk didn't fight purely with sword skills? Nothing else is ever mentioned. However I think the opposite, that they only used their sword skills, might have been mentioned (not sure). If it were different, it would also completely eliminate any uncertainty about...

Lol, Zoro literally looking the other way, and defending himself from that side, and goofing around. Of course not, as that would only come up in a debate like this. However it is true by definition about Mihawk that he's the purest type of swordsman, as that is all his fighting is about. It...

Law standardly relies on a sword and uses it also as an extension of his DF ability, e.g. to dismantle people both harmlessly and as an attack. He has a very dominant DF, so it makes sense that he doesn't focus exclusively on his sword or that the sword skills and pure sword "powa" don't take...

The reason why they're not toasting is because it's super-dumb to do so. They have a huge task ahead and need all their concentration for that. Only fodder, who is crazy about the enemy being completely harmless and "our Tobbi Roppo are invincible", would toast in such a moment, to show how...

Kaido is scared that his son will kill him (which even if it doesn't bother him from the perspective of dying, certainly bothers him from the perspective of being weaker and pushed around), that's why he drinks, but he's feeling safer when Big Mom is around, that's why he's asking for him to...

"One-shot" is manipulative terminology because of all the conditions that are ignored, mainly that it was a surprise attack, and Zoro was still in a non-serious mood from his previous encounter with the wacky guy (forgot his name) who distracted him in that moment, and Zoro only turned...

I just don't see the logic of characters having different shoes proving that they are the same...

Jinbe blocked a a full-on sword attack by her, and he doesn't even have a sword, so... I would put Zoro a good deal above Jinbe in all-around blocking and also somewhat in strength. It would be a huge challenge, but he would survive a while, although he would tire out and be overcome more and...

I think he literally has all those heads on his body. But you can just delete Katakuri and get a similar result as the middle pic, since Katakuri basically looks half like Zoro.... And it would probably look even better if one left out Daifuku as well. He just slims down the nose and jawline a...

Maybe he's weak, but he can't be a total joke, because I think then he wouldn't hide himself but probably demand respect from everyone all the time. And Kaido wouldn't want to see him and likely would have given him away or left him somewhere. And he would be too similar to Orochi who is already...

Jinbe like:

People are obsessed with seeing everything in a negative way, or being negative and pessimistic about characters (as richly exploited in the contests of fandoms between characters). Part of my point was that this is simply assumed, and in fact Oda is often not that negative as people in some...

With the Kaido- and YC-fighting character all gathered, giving Jinbe the heroic moment in that situation would just be silly and illogical. The way it was was logical, and I just don't see a reason to obsess about his entry, honestly.

No, he returned, that suffices. And he can still do more, the next chapter or so. And destroying the ships makes sense and is what one would expect. Saving Momo I think would have been corny and would have made Momo being taken hostage more gimmicky than it already is. And the situation just...

Yeah, it was definitely too long, though I would definitely have liked to see more concrete top tier action, if anything. Like seeing a bit of Rocks in action, and Roger of course, just a few panels more, and I would have enjoyed the final battle to be more than two strikes. But Oda typically...

Typical first chapter after the break, when Oda doesn't make huge progresses and introduces new minor complications, but still gives a little candy (Jinbe). Kanjuro becoming a bigger factor and opponent was giving me Dressrosa-vibes, which was drawn out by lots of little fights with Doflamingo...
