The last time me and some others schooled him he had a crashout, cried about this forum being a toxic mess and that he would never come back, left for a few weeks ... and then came back again, because he couldn't deal with the lack of attention. So maybe you're lucky again this time, but all in...

If One Piece is "one of the deepest stories" you ever read, you really need to step outside the children/teenager part of the library. It's as generic a shonen as there is. Slamming some seemingly "deep" themes like racism, slavery etc. on an incredibly formulaic and repetitive structure...

When you KNOW the author won't write zero consequences (concerning halfway important characters), there simply is no tension! You can twist and turn, but all you're doing is coming up with a completely new, fictional definition of "tension" in order to fit your agenda that has nothing to do...

While he indeed hyped up Loki to God tier, this is Oda we're talking about. His micro-writing has been absolute horseshit post-skip and I wouldn't put some complete nonsense like Hajrudin suddenly being at least very near Loki in terms of strength past him.

You can write pompous sounding semi-intellectual excuses all you want, it's way more simple than that: You feel tension, if you personally feel that there is a legit chance of the author actually going through with major consequences. In One Piece, if you actually still believe that (and don't...

I get what you're saying, but there is a difference between "faster healing due to Mythical Zoan powers" and "literally regenerating back to 100% by eating snacks after you just got impaled (!) twice".

That's not the fucking point. Of course everyone knows he can't die yet. But then at least write your manga so that it's consistent and believable! If you need a whole emergency surgery with blood transfusion after one single bite into the shoulder by Hody fucking Jones and then fast forward...

Of course you are correct, but I don't give a fuck if it was there for some clear narrative purpose, when it makes zero logical sense in hindsight.

Absolute horseshit writing. I guess you just write in some funny Uber Eats delivery guy to always throw food to Luffy because it seems he's completely invincible now if he just has enough food to eat. A few arcs ago he needed literal life saving blood transfusion after a bite wound against...

Oda completely butchered it post-skip and G5 was the final nail in the coffin. Just to emphasize how ridiculously dumb things have gotten: Even just recently Luffy slept for days after fights where he wasn't even half as injured as he was in the fight against Imu right now (against Doflamingo...

My friend, the literal Demon King of the world is right here in person at Elbaf, it doesn't get much more endgame like this. Despite this nobody can even feel a single ounce of threat, because Oda butchered his own manga so much with his countless cop-outs. That's the problem.

Back then the sense of threat was still there, because the series hadn't gone on for so long and Oda really managed to make it look like a dire situation (Robin and Usopp leaving the crew in Water 7, Merry getting destroyed by CP9 etc.) Of course in the end "only" Merry had to bite the dust...

I will start with a quote from myself: Pre-skip we had at least some kind of stakes, where people where on their seats during Enies Lobby and later on during Marineford. But post-skip has been one gigantic fuck-up from Oda. This is the New World, where the stakes should be at their very...

The writing of freakin Solo Leveling (yes, you read that right) is better and more consistent than whatever shit Oda served us post-skip. I'm dead serious btw.

My God, this manga has gone downhill so bad, it's almost comical. It's not like One Piece was ever known for having high stakes, but these days it has ZERO stakes. None. Nada. Niente. Literally nothing has any sort of consequence, not even when the Demon King of the world shows up in person...

I looked it up, you are correct.

Why should it be Lodestar? "The island that only the pirate king ever reached" is certainly not Lodestar. Lodestar is only the last island in the New World, if you follow the Log Pose. There you are supposed to learn aout Ponegliffs for the first time according to Inu/Neko (they explained it...

Oda has actually done this very nicely with Rocks and Harald (and I've criticized his writing often lately). Oda shows that (political) extremes only lead to a quick and ugly downfall. Rocks is the aggressive conqueror type, who wants to become king of the world by taking over with force - he...

Oda' message here is very simple, but powerful: A little idealism is never wrong, but don't be naive and overdo it. Don't sell out your national identity.

Not trying to shit on the parade, but PIS has been omnipresent in OP from the very start of the series. If somebody wants to read a manga with smart characters that act realistically, OP was never the manga for them. It just somehow started to annoy people when a large audience of basic manga...
