Character Discussion Most underwhelming characters in Onigashima?

#1
Usopp- Got cucked out of fighting P1 and did nothing

Chopper- Got stuck with the boring Ice Oni subplot and did nothing afterwards

Brook- Was just Robin’s janitor

Marco- Got like half a chapter of fighting at best and did nothing afterwards

Lolkins- Looked incredibly weak in his fight with Killer

Drake- Didn’t beat anyone, got clowned by CP0

P1- Did nothing besides be a minor inconvenience for Nami and Usopp

BMPs- Got abandoned by Oda

Kawamatsu- Did literally nothing

Kaido more than anything. He seemed like he had a lot going for him and could have been the best villain in the series. The theme of spirit breaking, a potential connection to ace/shanks, an interesting foil for luffy, a potentially fascinating and tragic backstory. Possibly even an interesting redemption arc.

But he's just a psycho who loves war but secretly wanted to lose lelouch style. Oh yeah and his crew is a bunch of literal who jobbers.

Probably Linlin. Kid is a big contender, but I think Kid's powerlevel more or less makes sense, its just that Oda made his fighting style very visually unappealing and not really compatible for fighting a yonko.

But Linlin legitimately makes you wonder why she's a yonko. She barely uses CoC, and most of her attacks are profoundly underwhelming compared to kaido's or Luffy's. Just look at her ultimate attack, misery. How is that even comparable to bajrang gun of flaming bagua?

Yeah, I guess you could argue she was nerfed by plot. But this was the second arc she was a part of. This was the arc where she was formally defeated. And you are telling me even then you still had to nerf her? Why couldn't we, oh, idk, just make Kid and Law stronger? Give them a better moveset to deal with big mom? I made this argument in a thread a while back. If Kid simply was given ACoA or ACoC as his power up instead of a shitty awakening, Linlin wouldn't have been needed to be nerfed nearly as much.
Post automatically merged:

I think Oda wanted to have it both ways with Kid and Law. On one hand, he wants to portray them as Luffy's rivals. But on the other, he wants to make them have arguably worse feats than Zoro while still somehow defeating a yonko. The result is something utterly nonsensical.

Every last member of Kaido's crew from the Gifters to the All Stars. The ONLY exception is King.

The Scabbards need no explanation

Hawkins, Apoo and X Drake

Brook & Chopper as usual

Usopp did nothing

Kaido- turned out to be nothing more than an OP Brute

Kidd was Midd tbh. Law put in most of the work
