We jumped from 29 all the way to 16 through sheer will while taking down Katakuri and Yamato in the process Relax conejo :beckmoji:

I think this is why he lost here and why Gaban is making a point to scold him

Not really, more like a problem of underestimating of his ennemies or lack of ability. When I'm talking about oversight/cockyness, I'm talking about an active flaw created by the intersection of his G5 transformation and his knowledge of being an emperor. Luffy is like entranced by his own...

Perhaps "cockyness" is not really the right word, "Oversight" is better. There has been a slight increase in oversight since the introduction of Gear 5 and his title of emperor.

Only for gags. Luffy has never really been humbled because of his "cockyness" outside of chapter 1 and sabaody (and even then, it was mostly a problem of pure strenght).

No. Just that haters usually use their own judgment to analyze the story instead of the quality of the narration. Which create a vicious circle of confirmation biases and self-eating argumentation "it's bad because I think it's bad"... creating the reason why people started to hate the story so...

I know, I want to prove a point.

And because I already anticipated your potential response, "no it's not what people mean", I made a poll to show you what people are thinking in reality:

Hi. Do you think Luffy getting cocky, childlike and unfocused because of his new title and power is good or bad writing ? By "cocky" I mostly mean a slight problem of oversight from Luffy since his emperor title and G5 Power-up.

Narration is not some fixed science with a complete set of objective data. Definitions, parameters, usage, we all have our own vision of narration and a path to maturity is to understand that it is a field in constant evolution. I may be a little bit unflexible on the terms usually here, but...

Debatable, but this is not what I'm arguing here. What I'm arguing is the usage of this word in this very context of reading experience and the fact that people are judging a character evolution as a problem of writing rather than a complexification of the story. This is what I have a problem...

I literally laughed my ass off when it happened. I jumped and screamed outloud how ridiculous yet funny this was.

The problems of fans who think they analyze is that instead of analyzing a story and a character arc as a object of study, they uses this analyzis to apply their morality and judgment unto said parameter. You end up with things like "I don't like Luffy because he has a flaw now"... well you...

No. 1. It is a moral statement, at least in that context (while you can make that case in others) 2. There is no "earlier point" here where Luffy was unfocused and entranced by his own power. The naivity of Paradise is not present anymore, what you are seeing, is a lack of focus and a surplus...

No, that's called a character evolution. A regression is a moral judgement put on a character evolution. Now, is Luffy not focused and too unserious, definitely. Does Gear 5 makes Luffy childlish, not, just more extatic and free in within his own ability. Which is why he is not naive, but...

Strange world you live in where character evolution is a straight line.

As long as you don't ruin the fun of everyone else. I don't mind. But we both know that none of you will be satistied with just enjoying the rest of the journey without doing just that. :seriously: People be throwing bs like it is real diamant and then wonder why I come to butt in. No, Luffy...
