Break Week Is Oda a disappointment post time skip?
- Thread starter Water1415
- Start date
in some aspects yes
the abnormal focus on luffy and the neglect of the development of others in his crew has been poor in contrast to pretimeskip. wont get any better, the recent iteration of 'nika piece' would only make it more apparent.
if the most appealing things to you about one piece was seeing these characters chase goals/dreams
i find it hard to believe you would still relate to luffy at this point in time, for the current strawhats , probably
but you barely get to see them develop in anything.

No, not really.
- The art of One Piece just evolved, it has not gotten worse. While Oda did had problem in recent years for some details because of his health problem, in reality, the art of post time skip is much more organic and natural that it used to be pre time skip. Its not as epurated and Oda took a lot more liberties in the compositions and paneling.
- Main cast has not gotten worse, this is also an illusion. Main cast has in fact improved. The only difference is that the main cast is now composed of other strawhats just as it was the case for Vivi during Alabasta. And each time, the cast and the characterization is on point. And the crew is similar. While it doesn't have the same evolution as pre time skip (because let's not forget that each cast had one arc more or less dedicated to them), the cast is still relevant and as still interesting as it was pre time skip. The arc of Sanji on whole cake is a bright example of this.
- And no, the fight are no rushed or off screen. Its just that some fight are not necessary to make the story move forward. One Piece is about the story and not the fights. If you want to see a fight driven manga, you can check MHA for example.
No they are not. During pretime skip the strawhat had the same treatment. The only difference is that they had arc that were needed to introduce them and create their characterization. There is no need for that anymore. Strawhats are still relevant, they are just not the focal point, just as they were not the focal point during all those arc for other characters.
