I agree about Koby, but one can argue Oda designed King to be discardable, partly as a plot device (the Lunarians) and partly as a contrast to Zoro. Because King was completely subservient to Kaido, even if Kaido deviated from his idea of Joyboy, whereas Zoro also has his own dream and would...
I thought this would be just another completely baseline chapter. But I would say this is even slightly below that. Maybe in the anime some of the travel scenes would be a nice time. But I have to say Oda's "amazing" panorama here as usual looks like a completely basic drawing of houses or a...
There were a lot of giant hints. And that he was exceptional (or even a "god"). And I didn't expect him to be too literally like Luffy. Just would have been more interesting, if he was a little bit stranger, doesn't need to be a full giant (just big dude).
Most of the chapter is complete emptiness, a blank horizon or wallpaper. That’s how these non-stop, completely basic face panels and standard phrases, which have been going on for months, appear. It’s the shallowest filler in the universe.
The Iron Giant/Emeth part in my opinion fell completely...
Pure timewasting chapter, it's what Oda is best at. He's getting too high on his own supply, and cannot judge what is a good use of time anymore (thinking constant pauses don't matter anyway).
Vegapunk's entire speech over all the months was pure hot air. He mentioned there were once huge...
Vegapunk's loredump probably has more in-world significance than as revelations for readers.
That’s how Oda imagines readers with 2 new infos within several weeks’ time:
And this is basically Oda himself struggling with the idea of giving 2 infos within several weeks, instead of waiting...
Oda is addicted to his mid transition chapters, ending on a cliffhanger. The stalling of Vegapunk’s message has gone on long enough and the little info that the world will sink under the sea, as bizarre as it is, is not the most interesting to start with or hang on to, since without context it...
Oda is in a quite good run recently. Not much stalling, and lots of new stuff. However, I'm not really a fan of how the Zoro fight was handled. There is just the single rush panel, that is as basic as it gets. And it's also clear that Sanji had to lend a small part of his Haki (after all, Oda...
The eagerness and glee do surprise me, also when this is made the only point of a complex chapter. And I remember you said something like “even when I thought I couldn’t hate VP more...” in reaction to a chapter when it couldn’t be more illogical to say so. Because VP was vehemently disagreeing...
This just shows your extreme narrow-mindedness. There are more ways to tell a story than one crappy template. But you don’t even know there are such things as interpretations.
Vegapunk getting stabbed by the evillest guy far and wide (which you do not care about at all) does not make a...
Basically quoting Saturn… Really the guy to side with…
Vegapunk's story is ultimately linked to Nika's, and one of turning the government's assets or what they don't want uncovered against itself.
Does Oda think or display it as much of a problem? Aside from the theft of DNA, and the...
He didn’t create actual clones, and you keep consistently ignoring what deal Vegapunk and Kuma both were agreeing to with both measures. Turning him into a robot is wrong, but their hands were tied. They were hoping to save Bonney, and Kuma agreed, even when Vegapunk protested (important...
“Scientific greed”, so you think there is something intrinsically bad or shady about scientific research. Otherwise his stuff has only become “morally dubious” in the hands of the WG or the standard for his “greed” was only set by the WG or Saturn himself (for their immoral reasons). And for him...
I said no such thing, I was talking about parties in the series, participants or actors.
You single out Vegapunk from everyone, no matter how shady, vicious or more directly responsible they are. Which is very ridiculous.
You interpreting something is not an "objective truth". Oda can have...
So you pretty much focus all your hate in the series on this one guy. Which is more than a little wack.
Otherwise I guess you and most everyone would never stop ranting about how they want every Marine super duper double triple torture dead, not least Kizaru right now.
That’s just the classic...
This chapter is an example of how Oda milks plot points. Everyone knew Sanji was a match-up for Kizaru, given his speed-feats. Yet apparently he barely paid attention before, but now arbitrarily is the moment (with other things out of the way) to put the spotlight on him. At least for now. (And...
The last page was actually underwhelming, given the spoiler hype. There is barely any destruction, just basic drawings of Dorry and Brogy cutting ship masts. Whenever redon says something is "AMAZING" or "EPIC", I expect it will be the most basic version it can be. (However, it's a pretty good...
"Against worn-out tropes": By simply making a third-rate standard shonen beginning in the middle of nowhere. Oda is simply trying to be pretentious by going against wishes, even if he just does the most basic, tropey stuff. (Or trying to show off with an empty panel of an old character, like the...
