The Dabi twist is a perfect example of why just knowing something is going to happen in a story doesn't make it any less enjoyable or exciting. It's like Alfred Hitchcock's famous "bomb under the table" analogy. Theres a bomb under the table. You know it's going to go off. You just don't know...

Oh hey, an excuse to post this.

Uh no? It's the same as you not feeling like typing up an essay for everything you think is wrong with Wano. I'd be spending a while typing it up and even more time defending it. *shrugs* I'm simply not in the mood for the debate right now..

Eh. Not really. It's not anything new either. It's a mentally that we've seen pretty commonly throughout the series. It's part of a larger post I wanna do on Pirates at some point. I'll probably break it down in one of my posts about Wano after it concludes.

I think you're confusing greatest pirate with strongest pirate. Thats not a title that just refers to individual strength. It's also about your feats as a Pirate. Roger held greater fame/infamy than the others. Again, I don't think this was explicitly about individual strength. Still don't think...

I didn't say none of you had any points. I said next to none. The vast majority of posts are just silly. Some are decent but at the same time do have very obvious explanations. Like the WB example you just brought up.

Chapter was great but the progression is practically snail-like. I like to examine a storyline when I've seen the whole thing but it's sorta like the story is giving us 1 inch or 10 seconds at a time. lol. Not really a bad thing but it means I'm gonna have to wait before I can really examine...

Except theres nothing illogical about it. Thats how Oda writes. Thats how shounen work. Doesn't matter. Oda still portrayed them as an overwhleming threat and had Luffy overcome them in the end. That is the trend. It's different everytime. Kaido just happens to be the latest installment in this...

Thats a bad argument. You don't need to be a professional author to criticize something. However the problem with a lot of these posts is that these "criticisms" aren't even actual issues. Most of it is just people just expressing their own lack of understanding of the story. Other posts are...

Why are you showing me this? I'm aware of this already. lol.

I know. I'm just saying it's not always gonna be as straight forward as "he's stronger therefore he wins". Maybe Luffy has to go through Akainu first and is weakened by the time he gets to Imu. Or maybe it's 2 on 1 with Akainu & Imu-sama vs Luffy. Who knows. But Luffy being "the strongest"...

Thats not necessarily true. You're thinking about things too simplistically. This isn't Dragonball. How strong you are doesn't necessarily mean you will win every fight. Oda makes this clear throughout the story. Battle is unpredictable. Power Level does not = Victory. Being strong and...

Again, this is simply because Buggy had witnessed some of their fights personally. Thats why he calls them equals. Not because he's referring to that one specific fight. The rest of the world is just going off of reputation.

Yes and he's absolutely going to. Anyone who says otherwise is just letting their personal feelings cloud their brains. We know how Oda writes. It's never going to be Luffy & 50 other people vs Kaido. Luffy is fighting Kaido 1 on 1. No one else is interfering with his fight.

Fine. It's entirely possible too I'll give you that. If the theories about Imu-sama being immortal are true then that means he would have been around for over 800 years. Someone whose been alive for that long is probably crazy strong.

Demon Slayer despite being mediocre at best deserves it's small time in the sun. But once it's over it'll just fade into obscurity. Though it did get to sit on the throne for a few minutes. I guess it deserves props for that at least.

Wow. This thread is really stupid. Some of the comments are even worse. Yikes. Now I remember why I stopped coming here. lol.

What? lol. No it literally doesn't change anything at all. Luffy's always been written as the big threat when ever he steps onto an island. If he's not he always ends up that way by the end. He's still gonna be the strongest. Even then I said he'd be the strongest eventually. So it doesn't...

How does that change what I said? lol.

Pretty huge problem with this. You're just assuming that Buggy is talking about that 3 day fight. Which he wasn't. It's just the only fight we got to see. It was implied through the context that they had fought numerous times prior to that. They'd already known eachother and been rivals long...
