You just figured out the Yonko were filler? You could go from ennis lobby to egghead and not miss much.

All true but Oda has always been bad at pacing, even back in Syrup Village, and he hasn't gotten any better as a writer so there has no been reason to think he would improve his writing. OP is what it is.

flashbacks only hit hard if you like crybaby sob stories or trauma porn. The white beard story was especially ham fisted. Doffy was bad too.

This is bad writing. You don't want to just introduce stuff and then not follow-up on it. Additionally this creates plot holes. "If Luffy is a danger then why isn't the WG pursuing him?" I would argue that the Itachi conflict and the overall pacing of Naruto was really bad post time skip, if...

Oda isn't good at writing plot in the present so he uses flashbacks to "offscreen" plot so to speak. So he can write a garbage story and then fill in all the blanks in the flashbacks. 1747536767 Because there is nothing besides mystery and trama porn. If Oda had stuff that he wanted to say then...

No. Best group was the Gold Saints. Genjutsu is also from Saint Seiya, fyi.

This is nothing new and has been the story of OP for a long time. Luffy declared War on the World Govt at Ennis Lobby. Next Arc is Filler Bark. Impel Down and Marineford Arcs are chaotic but at this point the WG should be hunting down Luffy and that should continue into the Post TS Arcs. OP...

Pain Arc is overrated

Yes but it's also the only way to make the setup and pirate theme work. https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/one-piece-chapter-1/chapter/5090 "Wealth, fame and power" Humans are greedy and they want these things and that's what pirates wanted and that is why everyone searching for the OP. This was...

Nah. One Piece pirate treasure. The Calm Belt doldrums. Early OP was leaning heavily towards the pirate history but it abondoned that all for the world of Oda. A word of anicent kingdom and phropacy and chosen one, etc.

Survivorship bias. If you're still reading OP then you probably like the direction in which it's gone and those changes happened at the end of Alabasta and W7/Ennis Lobby. I think OP would be much better without the lore crap but most of the folks who still read/watch the series watch it...

Characters are mysterious because Oda failed to develop them.

One Piece lacks the hype moments of Naruto. The appeal of One Piece is crybaby flashbacks and mystery/lore.

It's contrived, convoluted and bloated. But if you like One Piece then you might love P7 because One Piece shares many of the same faults, like pointless sobstory flashbacks.

Is Steel Ball run actually bad? Yes.

You're delusional. The story of OP has been about WG and Void century for decades. There is barely any talk of BB's 2 devil fruit ability. This is the part of the story were the mangaka drops the ball and fails to resolve old plot points so I wouldn't except BB's 2 fruit ability or even DF in...

Ace is also a filler character. He didn't matter. Neither did Whitebeard. Doubt Blackbeard will matter either. OP is all about Imu, Joyboy, Nika and Void Century now. Expect rushed and unsatisfying conclusions to the arcs of all other characters.

Are you trolling or being serious? Akainu was just some random filler character.

I agree but I think it's more likely that BB gets the Law or Kidd treatment and gets removed first so that Luffy can defeat the big evil Imu and save Vivi. Imu is Kaguya BB is Madara

The newer the character, the less likely they were part of the original plan. Mihawk was introduced very early and so if Oda said he was the WSM then he might have been at that time but Oda might have changed the power scaling later. I think Whitebeard was a filler character and I don't think...
