General & Others “One Piece isn’t known for having good fights” is not a good excuse for us getting bad fights lol

[Lion of Olympus]

So I’ve been seeing people say this more and more to justify us constantly getting bad fights and it’s confusing to me.

Like…why accept mediocrity instead of wanting Oda to improve because if anything, one piece’s fights have gotten worse over the years lol.

This excuse is even worse when Oda dedicates full chapters to his shitty fights lol

Just a copium mechanism of fans

OP is a battle manga
The whole MC's dream revolves around battles
Oda dedicates panels and chapters to battles

He just sucks at writing epic battles for all (every main side character)

When the bar is low is hard to expect good fights

 

[Fn Lucci]

This is minority opinion you take as fact

 

[Nikuzi]

I think Luffy vs Kaido is awesome. I think One Piece generally has good fights

 

[Finalbeta]

I'm enjoying G5 vs Kaido honestly, at least in the form of it which is a different concept from how the matter was generally handled

I think One Piece has really good fights. His battle choreography is a little lacking compared to some of the best battle manga, but I feel like its not as bad as a lot of you make it out to be and I also feel like the fights are a lot smarter than most popular shonen that a lot more often boil down to "this guy hits harder". Not on the "smart ability focused fighting" level of stuff like Jojos or HxH, but a comfy middleground.

 

[Ryuarashi]

Most of the fights are okay, some of the reason ones have not been the best.

At some point in time you have to either accept reality or quit reading the manga.

I'd seriously love if One Piece had complex fights on the level of Hunter x Hunter, JJk and even early Naruto but sadly that's just now how Oda does things

Yup, and it’s become really apparent how awful his fights are this arc lol

 

[soheilhazrat]

I mean i dont watch/read it for fights so i dont expect much, maybe people who say stuff like this doesnt expect much too idk.
I do the power level discussions tho its fun

When its been 5 minutes and you haven't shoehorned a cheesy unfunny gag into a fight you're writing:

 

[Peenix]

One Piece fights are fun for the most part

 

[Lion of Olympus]

One Piece fights are fun for the most part

Fun doesn’t equal good

 

[Fn Lucci]

Fun doesn’t equal good

The genre exists to entertain

[Finalbeta]

You won't know what is a superlative fight until you won't witness Zoro vs Mihawk

 

[Peenix]

Fun doesn’t equal good

One Piece fights have never been that strategically deep or whatever like in Jojo
Their main appeal to me has always been being fun/goofy

A question when were they good ?

Moria trash fight
Buggy trash fight
Black decent
Krieg was no bad
Arlong was good
Crocodile was cut not bad
Enel was just a punching bag
Lucci was good the best overall

Holy trash
Ceasars trash
Doflamingo 3 chapters if all decent

Katakuri was awful cancer
Kaido is cancer too

JoJo is my second favorite I suppose... but One Piece is melee combat. You're talking apples and oranges

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Some fights are good but most are decent or garbage.
