Chapter Discussion Oda can't write a battle anymore

#5
Yeah, really, most of Oda's fights in the series are actually awful and filled with dialogue/cutscenes.
- Just think of how many complaints people have every fight. That shouldn't be happening, we should have clear victories- not questions about why Luffy shouldn't be losing to a man made of Mochi based on a whim or why Kizaru "lost" because he was mentally nerfed.

Only Oda makes "mental nerf" possible like wtf

You can't scale emotional shit. It can happen to anybody at any time lmao

Loki vs Imu is in a filler phase now, all we'll get are cling clangs and single panels until the plot is ready to move forward.

Which is fair enough, there's always a sequence to these things happening, e.g., Luffy's battle always comes after everyone else's battle has been resolved, and Loki's role is to occupy Imu until then so Luffy can return.

It's just a generally lazy way of writing battles. And One Piece choreography has been ass for a hot minute.

bro was mentally nerfed because he has social anxiety specifically during battle... what kind of explanation would that be for a fight?

Traumatized ass One Piece characters... everybody has a sob story or some anxiety or something

Oda has been this way since at least Alabasta. That's well over 20 years

Never could.
The best ''fights'' in One Piece don't hold a candle to the worst ones in other mangas.
If you read One Piece for fights then you got it all wrong from the get go.
I'll probably regret asking, but to which others do you refer?
This whole time Oda has been a chiropractor and the focus on Brook now will spell it out.
