when did i ever say “pacing = paneling“?
if youre gonna reply please stop with the bad faith arguements…
they factor in to the pacing but is not the sole reason for pacing problems.
yes there are PLENTY of wasted panels in almost every arc…doesn’t matter if you read it weekly or in bulk…colloseum in dressrosa (for example)will always be known for that Problem.
do you even know what it takes to be a WEEKLY mangaka?
it literally means cramming in filler panels and extra stuff in to make EACH chapter fairly exiting to read. Oda literally said in an interview about how the editors and readers were urging him to make chptr 1000 exciting Rather than than drawing things out how they would naturally go…if he did(like oda said) 1000 wouldve been like any ordinary chapter.
if oda wastes time drawing out fodder instead of focusing on MAIN FIGHTS…yes…that factors in to pacing.
Ive read a few of your posts here and it seems like you honestly just have a huge confirmation bias in favor of carrot.
things like you HYPER ANALYZING that ONE panel of carrot after counless chapters of her absence is very telling…
ill say it like this..
if Oda was buggy you would be the impell down prisoners
its just not that deep
