Franky is clearly above everyone on the Straw Hats except for M3+Jinbe. The way he "struggles" in his fights is not the same as Robin. He does not typically have difficulty in the same way the weaker members do and has raw AP and durability more on par with M3+Jinbe. I think it's a joke that...

I don't think the prediction that he'll literally come back is in any contention. Many other characters will be making an appearance in the final saga in some capacity after all. Probably even BM and Kaido who are "dead". The question is, will he be relevant, much less pivotal, to the plot in...

Comparing it to long-running franchises like OP that have the burden of decades of legacy content (and therefore have a higher cost of buy-in from new viewers) is not really appropriate to gauge its success. In comparison to other modern anime, however, I'd argue it has good execution in...

EoS Zoro not actually being the strongest swordsman in history (including casual users, connosieurs, heaven-dwellers, Earth-dwellers, doesn't matter) would be unacceptable. He's not fighting for a technical title or "well akkshually" status, he's fighting to be the best. Zoro himself is not one...

In terms of Haki, in continuing with the trend of him achieving the invisibility he yearns for, one of the powers he might achieve is true presence concealment. An advanced application of observation and/or conqueror's that's super rare or unique to Sanji.

Aramaki looked like a snot-nosed bitch to Shanks on-panel and doesn't have the destined foreskinning to overcome that perception like Blackbeard. For fandom perception, at least. So it brings black blade stocks down to be associated with a character like that when previously you could head-canon...

? You sound ESL so I'll help you out. Kizaru feeding KO'd Luffy: 1) implies he got up and was functioning sooner 2) implies he could have killed him 3) supports the idea he wasn't trying to beat him, maybe even hoping he'd lose 4) supports the idea he was mentally nerfed in Egghead in general...

Side material that is released months later and doesn't affect most readers =/= main material.

My perception of the two being on even footing has changed. Kizaru mogs Luffy. Also, Oda is a hack for obscuring this fact in the manga to protect fragile condumbs.

Average One Piece fan IQ thread.

This encounter (and Law vs BB) is cleaning up filler characters and establishing where Shanks and Blackbeard stand relative to eachother.

For someone who writes walls of texts, this is a surprisingly short-sighted NPC response.

This isn't rocket science and only requires looking 1 level deeper than the surface-level issue of the mink drug. It's an asspull solution to an arbitrarily manufactured problem. Remove the premise of the problem and you don't need to make up a deus ex machina item to address it.

That is some serious glazing. Also, it's not the mistake you think it is. The actual hack job was finding a way to get Zoro off the roof in a believable way so Luffy can get his 1v1 for the usual copy paste arc conclusion. That was the purpose of Ocean Sovereignty. Mink cum is only a further...

That's to guard against Zoro wandering and getting lost. One Piece 101. Btw:

For comparison sake after Luffy vs. Lucci (within the very same chapter, two page turns later lol):

It's not that deep. These are cartoons.

This is like asking what would happen if G5 ran out and any non-fodder was standing over Luffy with a knife in their hand. Kizaru hasn't once put his full attention on Luffy this entire arc. But condoms gonna condom.

Internal destruction seems redundant for sword attacks.
