Because, like Kanye West, he didn't get the joke

Remember Shinokuni in Punk Hazard, and how it turned out that the weapon was largely harmless, with none of its victims having died? That was real bs, and a great example of how far Oda will go to avoid real consequences in One Piece, and why the tension died because of it.

I have long stopped caring. The RA are the least interesting of the powers, and Oda has done nothing with Dragon since Loguetown so I don't have much expectation for him.

Wano was the land of missed opportunities and wasted potential.

Wano also could have been the opportunity for Zoro to learn more about the great blades, how they were forged, their history and power, and to get a better understanding of his own blades. It could also have been an opportunity to revisit his relations with Kuina and Tashigi upon learning about...

Yeah, this scene helped give Zoro depth and development. However, he's been flanderized since, with him only serving as a badass fighter without any real development. Part of why Wano was trash was that it was by far the greatest opportunity to develop Zoro further and give him more depth back...

Most of them will either disappear or be here only for appearances.

Years ago, I may have been excited for Elbaf, but Wano indeed permanently tainted my enjoyment and perception of post-TS One Piece, and Oda has done little, if anything, to correct the errors he has made in Wano; the same story problems are all there, with only superficial attempts to make them...

I already had the feeling in Dressrosa that aside from Doflamingo himself, and Gladius and Dellinger and Lao G to a lesser extent and for middle Straw Hats and their allies, the Donquixote Pirates weren't shown to be as powerful and dangerous as they should have been. Diamante, Trebol and Pica...

Wano was too ambitious, had too many ingredients and players, too many allies and too many antagonists (who were given too little room to breathe) at the same time, which Oda didn't know what to do with, he used several of them too much (Oden, the Scabbards, Yamato), some too little, refused to...

Well I did move countries in my youth, but because my father was a military man, and I never changed nationality.

That's a question for you to answer, not me.

If you see my profile, you'll know the answer.

Fjord. A tense and austere movie about clashes of cultures, religious education and education that are considered progressive, Norway's unique and often scary child welfare service called the Barnevernet, and how it's capable of taking children away from their parents with methods that are...

Hardly the first hypocrisy in Oda's writing.

Kaido and the Beast Pirates, as well as Apoo and Hawkins,were neglected and mismanaged so much. It's a shame because they had lot of potential. And that's nothing compared to how Big Mom, who shouldn't have been here to begin with, was written and treated. Lots of counter-examples to show how to...

Wano was by far the worst arc in One Piece, with the worst battle and most worst supporting characters who got too much focus and presence, and most handicapped and mishandled antagonists in the manga; it was a disaster that made One Piece jump the shark and caused irreparable damage to the...

It doesn't feel good if the antagonists are the underdogs in the story despite them being supposed to be so strong and threatening, and that they are handicaped so much to help the protagonists, which was part of why the Yonko Saga was unbearable.

One thing that also helped killed any sense of tension is that Luffy and the Straw Hats, aside from Saobody, and many other characters never face any negative consequence that are the results of their actions, even despite Luffy's countless reckless and stupid actions which should have brought...

Too many fake deaths and resurrections don't help
