Controversial God Valley vs the Onigashima Raid?

[Shiroyru]

Which one did Oda fumble harder?

Garbage vs Trash

Two of the best arcs in the series. Yes, they are not without fault but the Rooftop in Wano and all Rocks excellency before/during GV is peak. It's not like Fishman Island or Whole Cake (apart from Katakuri) that just dragged on and on and on.

The anime will eat GOOD filling out everything that was hinted but couldn't be finished within the manga. Especially when they drop the frequency to 1 episode/2 weeks.

The anime isn't gonna be adding entirely new, fully fleshed out fights, lol. They're gonna do shit like make Captain John tank the first booger bomb, have a brief skirmish, and get KOed by a 2nd booger bomb, lol.

I dont watch the anime anymore but surely they will be able to add loads of scenes, for example flesh out what happened to WB post Xebec clash pre meeting Graham, and so on. Or even have Shiki briefly skirmish with Gaban or whatever else as long as Oda gives his OK. They did that at Marineford too.

GV is good considering it's in a flashback. He wasn't going to develop all characters and their relationships with each other. He also couldn't show full fights between top tiers.

Onigashima raid was way too long, and the shitty df retcon at the end made it even worse.

 

[D. Plant]

Both are different, GV is a flashback and Onigashima is a full fletch story.

Why?

Why?

Because it's a flashback. There are simply too many characters in OP, he can't show us every fight that happened in the past.

If he did we would still be in Dressrosa.

I didn't even expect a chapter dedicated to Xebec vs Roger and Garp.

You can't compare GV to Onigashima. The only fight in GV was between Xebec and Roger/Garp, it would be better to compare it to Oden's flashback.
The fight was a bit underwhelming, but seeing Xebec crying and begging Roger/Garp to kill him made me sad.

Anyway, GV flashback is quite enjoyable and I can reread it over and over again, but even if you paid me i would refuse to waste more than 10 minutes rereading Onigashima.

Uncomparable

If we gonna compare on "battle scenes"
Onigashima clears neg diff....

One of the major reason entire fandom were hype about God Valley is they were looking for the battle scenes which supposedly involved Roger + Garp + Xebec + all other legendary pirates and more.
And it was mid asf.
Being a flashback arc doesn't excuse anything as this is the final showdown of God Valley.
Roger and Garp aren't some random guy, and it's the hardest battle they fought in their career and going all out fight, there aren't any more detail, Oda shows the flesh and bone about GV and this what we get lol

By writing, lore and amount of info we get and Xebec character carrying the flashback, GV is better than Onigashima on that field.
