General & Others How do you feel about side characters having more narrative importance in the story?

[Water1415]

Feels like their fans are the majority now

 

[Yoho]

Side characters are the backbone of any good show they breath life into a series and are more often than not some of the most developed best written characters in their respective stories.

Nah we ain't the "oh my God you shouldn't like antagonist or former ones" cult yall in

 

[Natalija]

I’m good with it, keeps it interesting for me. There’s nothing left about the main characters that I want to know (apart from how they handle their future and grow).

 

[Boing]

One Piece is too big of a world for the Strawhat to hog all significance in entirety; it's why I love what Oda did with the collosem fighters in Dressrosa as what point would there even be in a famed other sea if more people of significance and rising stars weren't introduced and couldn't do integral things?

How will they grow if side characters get more shine?

 

[Buusatan94]

I am okay with it if it's the right side characters who are highlighted and developped, which was not the case in Wano.

 

[Natalija]

How will they grow if side characters get more shine?

Through situations that happen to them. For example right now there’s practically no need to see what Luffy and co. are doing

And what you on about claiming we pretending?

 

[vikas]

But as the chapters we realise they actually don't have importance

 

[Oliver]

It's good when Oda takes the time to write them properly and integrates them into the story instead of throwing together a few flashback chapters before never hearing from them again for the rest of the story aside from a couple of cameos.

 

[Luffy is the mc]

The story can't revolve only around the main cast. You need to make other characters important to the story. Just don't be mistaken about their role in the serie.
I see some people taking a liking to some side characters and then have high expectations of said characters. It doesn't work like that.
Some characters are meant to stay irrelevant. Even relevant characters won't always shine anyway.

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

This is what has led to the decline of one piece

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Depends on the side characters:
Characters that had significant impact on the story like Warlords -> Would be awesome

Characters that don’t matter like the wano cast -> Absolute ass

 

[Cruxroux]

Depends what type of side casts
Momo , Rebbeca , Vivi ,
Being the crying princess makes it boring.

Characters like
Crocodile , Doflamingo , Buggy , mihawk , Garp , WB
Enhances the show as a whole

 

[Malick the last Light]

Depends on what you mean. Personally believe that Oda at least post-time skip has kinda overdone it in terms of the sheer amount of newly introduced characters. Like, just as an example, the nine scabbards. I don't hate any of them but I don't need nine guys I kinda give a shit about over like 2 or 3 guys I actually really like.

Quantity over quality is what I would describe One Pieece post-time skip side characters with.

 

[Loki D. Terror]

Scabbards sucks. On the other hand characters like kuma are a great addition.
