Character Discussion How Good was Pre Timeskip Chopper?

[Natalija]

Well,if they are to be considered veterans of the PK crew. They should be strong and hold their own by themselves. The Zeus Pu was lame imo.

I'm sure they will be, but not everyone will be strong in the same way.

Why can't he ?
He spends numerous chapters on extremely secondary characters but somehow he can't spend three pages on a SH ?

I don't know about you guys but I wouldn't wanna read a story where side characters don't get focus especially when a story is this long

Law,Kidd,New Admirals,Capone,Bonney and a few other were amazing. The problem is Oda is bad at making us care for side kicks and spends way too much time on them. I think Wano would have been way better if all scabbards died for Example.

Thay's why I added ''extremely'' before secondary.
An example in Wano could be the sumo guy (can't even remember his name). Why should Oda spend numerous panels on that guy but not on Nami ?

His purpose is to showcase Japan's national sport, and also to show Kiku's troubles and how Luffy won her over.

yeah it was oda's way of showing japanese culture and comic relief

In a weekly reading ? Hell yeah
Binged ? It is very emotional and contains two Flashbacks (Bonney's) so no.

 

[The White Crane]

Weakling Trio only refers to bounties because Chopper was never weak like Nami and Usopp.

All the more reason to label his post-TS writing as an abomination, then.

Oda's way of showing one of their national sport and culture is by shitting on it ?

All straw hats were much better pre-skip. None of them got better post skip,except maybe Luffy which is now more mature. OP has changed from some friends going on an adventure to Luffy going around gathering allies for a big final war. It has lost some of its appeal imo. I miss those arcs where only the SHP were around. Thriller Bark was the last time we saw that.

Agreed 100%.

Luffy was better pre-TS. Agreed with the rest of your post, tho.

🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 If the side characters are worthless pieces of shit like the Scrubbards,it's better not to have side characters at all.

see that's where we differ cause I think it was great in both forms

Oda's way of showing one of their national sport and culture is by shitting on it ?

yeah in a comical way

 

[Kumathegoat]

He was amazing in Skypea

Are you sure? I don’t feel Luffy’s changed at all.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Luffys peak maturity was alabasta.

 

[LolonoisZolo]

Are you sure? I don’t feel Luffy’s changed at all.

Luffy regressed drastically.
More reckless, less intelligent (even his battle iq went down), and less funny.
Went from 8/10 to 2/10 as a character post-ts imo

Actually luffy has gone backwards
Nika is making him worst
