It's a fun read, but if we really want to judge storywriting - my God it is so flawed in so many areas (pacing, inner-manga logic, character usage etc.). But again - I recently reread it and if you just want some entertainment without thinking too much, it's actually quite nice.

I will be quite honest: Yep, exactly that. Your people always come first, as bad as it sounds.

He made a mistake so many otherwise intelligent and empathic people make these days - trying to get on good terms with the bully by succumbing to them and playing by their rules. Only problem - the bully gives a flying fuck about that. If you give them the little finger, they will take the...

Garling - the man, the myth, the legend. Coming in "clutch" against already defeated opponents like he was prime Ronaldo. All jokes aside - Rocks really wasn't a bad guy and even in this chapter he showed it again ("Roger ... Garp ... run! You can't die here!").

He will be relevant, but much less so than Blackbeard and Imu.

The whole current spoiler culture is a freaking mess. Getting "hints" as early as Sunday and Monday, then a chapter summary Tuesday, a detailed summary Wednesday and then raws on Thursday really takes away any joy for the actual chapter on Fridays. It's ridiculous. I miss the old times where...

Imho the two main problems with Wano were 1) Oda once again wanted too much and gave a ton of exposure to side characters that didn't even really matter much in the end. 2) He didn't really plan out the Raid on Onigashima beforehand. It felt like once we were there he improvised week to week...

Imu essentially no-diffed him without suffering any injuries whatsoever. People need to stop with the "hax" allegations, when it's just Imu's signature ability befitting of the king of the world. Rocks is a monster in his own right and his final act will be epic, but as of right now nobody can...

I suspect in December or January. The next 10 are basically done and ready to get published.

:ihaha:

"Imu is not that strong" "Guys like Rocks, Roger or WB are clearly stronger than Imu" "Just because he has been the ruler of the world for 800+ years doesn't mean he knows how to act in a fight"...

We never saw him destroy any town other than this religious scumbag monastery. It's obvious that Oda specifially uses THIS island/town to demonstrate how wrong the anti-Rocks propaganda is (aka "sure, he might've destroyed some islands/towns, but now look closely what those islands/towns really...

Straight to the point: What on earth was the point of that insanely long cover story? Not a single important thing for future events was set up. No Pluton lore, no (much needed) character development for Yamato, nothing.

Linlin's "FUCK!" really came from the heart. :suresure:

A bum like Mr.3 almost singlehandedly no-diffed Dory and Brogy who are portrayed as monsters post-skip. So nah, Oda doesn't give a shit about powerscaling. He writes what he thinks is making an interesting story, that's it.

In the end it comes down to this anyway (and now everyone repeat it): Powerscaling is not some kind of accurate science! That's especially true when it comes to Oda and One Piece. If he needs a character to be strong or weak for plot purposes, he will write it that way, simple as that. That's...

Loki: *tells wild stories about events that happened long ago for hours* everyone: "Dude, we just want to know why you killed Harald ... and how the fuck do you know all those details about things that happened 40 years ago when you weren't even present?!?!"

I honestly don't know which route Oda will go, but I personally think Blackbeard as real final villain over Imu would be a bad choice. Sure, Blackbeard is the most stereotype pirate in the series and therefore primed to be Luffy's main pirate rival (it's a series about pirates at its core after...

On another note: What's up with this super boring cover story? 42 chapters in and really nothing noteworthy happened at all.

The problem isn't that Kaido doesn't have any depth. Not every villain needs a grand backstory. The problem is that Oda teased the readers about some deep backstory multiple (!) times (suicide motives, Oni background, Joyboy connection etc.) and didn't deliver on single one of those points...
