General & Others I think this guy makes a decent point

Egghead > Elbaf for me. At least 30 chapters into Egghead we got plenty of matches and events outside.

But apart from Rocks backstory and Imu arrival, Elbaf was pretty slow with the Holy Buns... I would rewatch Egghead again for ex., Elbaf? IDK, depends of Imu showcase these next chapters.

Elbaph gave us - harley text lore ; gaban intro ; loki intro ; rocks intro ; Rocks Flasback ; Imu full reveal etc. Oda really cooked hard in elbaph. Egghead was also good with gorosei demon forms intro being peak for me but elbaph simply had more reveals in general,

Yeah, Elbaf had more reveals, but 30 chapters into the arc Loki was still chained up, there was no tension or danger whatsoever. Luffy and Zoro hadn't had a decent fight yet. The only interesting Holy Knight was gone, and we were left to deal with the Holy Bums, and the Killingham nightmares were fodders that took up many panels and spaces, waiting to be defeated.

30 chapters with NOTHING but Loki/Gaban/Shamrock reveals, that's like the lenght of Sabaody (or more) and we know how much stuff happened in that arc for example.

By the 30ish chapter in Dressrosa we got Law vs Fuji vs Doflamingo/ Sabo, Batolomeo, the coliseum...


But still, Elbaf had a better intro than Wano.

Well, I didn't like some pre-TS arcs, like Skypea had its moments, but overall I really disliked how overly long it was. Alabasta was fine though, and W7/EL was peak. Hell, I still remember OP having the shortest epic war arc, and it was great. I hated Wano, but I am loving Elbaph. So yeah, haters gonna hate, but in the end we all still reading the story here 😂
