General & Others Oda just doesn't care anymore
- Thread starter Onepiecedying
- Start date
Oda does care otherwise he still wouldn't be writing one piece.
Many authors do give up after all.
He might be tired with the project as it's been dragged for 22 years now. I mean imagine working on same project for this long and still come up everyday to work...this isn't easy.
As far as milking is concernd then yeah and he isn't wrong at this. He worked for it so why not make maximum out of it.
And, who won't? I am sure if anyone of us was in his place we would have done the same.
So, he doesn't care or is milking the series is bad criticism..
One piece however hasn't been that interesting in past 6/7 years because of bad and inconsistent writing.
But I hope One piece peaks again and since wano ended OP is looking better

I have the 17 volumes and volume 0, it good but it definitely has the Hunter X Hunter problem of being a bit too wordy at times. It is something I do think One Piece did very well is that it is a very quick and easy read.
If he can focus and cut back on the fluff and bloat of the last couple arcs, we could get a good ending.

Yeah and that's the case with everything.
If you start a project and it starts giving you good returns then you will do whatever you can to gain the maximum out of it.
It's caring about your work even if it has money motive behind it.
Also, there is an emotional aspect in human beings.
When we devote such long time to anything we do get emotional attachment to it. And, emotions play role in building the caring aspect

It's really good because it explains a lot.
I don't know why people have problem with mangaka actually explaining what he is doing and why. What I love Gege's writing for is actually explaining stuff well, it is rare to be confused about the writing, he goes ham with the explanation of powers but hey, it is better than just having mfker spam one move and you never know how or why this move was created.

Oda definitely dropped the ball on developing characters, but I don't think there are significant instances of characters "doing stuff that doesn't make sense from their own perspective" in recent memory. Except maybe Kid forgetting about Kaido.
Well that and the PIS in Oda's fights. But that has always been a thing.

Oda doesn't have to do a wall of text, but he doesn't even do a minimal job.
Recently One Piece is all about hype moments like cool moments in the fight or bounties. Isn't this just sad?
We still don't know what Devil Fruits are after 21 years of serialization and what Haki is.
For Haki, we only have accepted by fandom standards.
I don't even want to start on the story, you could probably write a full novel chapter about what Oda didn't explain and as I said my man. He doesn't have to write a wall of text, he is so lazy he doesn't even give one/two liners.

The world building isn’t a problem - arguably, it’s always been and still is Oda’s strongest skill - but at a certain point, if he’s just building and delaying the payoff, people will naturally get frustrated. I have followed this story for a long time, and there are still plot lines teased a thousand chapters ago that have yet to be resolved…if it ends up that he bit off more than he can chew and rushes through the ending of the series like he demonstrably did with Wano, I think we can blame it on this tendency to keep setting the table without serving an actual meal.
Wano wasn’t the worst arc, but there’s no denying that the way it wrapped up was visibly rushed and sloppy. Yes, there’s always the potential for a payoff later on…but that’s also true of Vegapunk, a character who’s consistently been presented as an important figure in the story, who we’re just now meeting a full 600 chapters after he was “introduced,” and we still know virtually nothing about major figures like Rocks, Imu, or the Gorosei 100-900 (!!!) chapters after they were revealed. If we wanna tease this thread out even further, the amount of information we have on guys like Dragon, Shanks, and Mihawk is also pretty lacking, and they’ve received far more panel time than everyone mentioned above. This is a real clunky analogy, but our real-life universe is always expanding, and it will eventually have to contract; by that same token, Oda’s set up so much shit over the last 25 years that we’ve reached the point where not going back to fill in the numerous blanks isn’t an option.
What a irony...
If you think one piece is okay, then how you can explain this..?

Then there are things that could have been changed a bit to improve Wano, but I don't think they are bad at all. Like shorten the Luffy vs Kaido fight, shorten the Kanjuro theme (it would remove the Oden clone part), lengthen the Robin, Franky and Jinbe fights a little more...
That said, most of the complaints I read are toddler tantrums because what you want doesn't happen and that image demonstrates it perfectly LoL.
What is the problem? They are simple dolls that we now know are the great treasure of Sukiyaki. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? A sword, which has been introduced +900 chapters ago. We know it exists, we have seen it. Everything's fine.
It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? Now we know that Hitetsu is Sukiyaki and the man he was waiting for is Luffy, the one from Toki's prophecy or maybe Momo. It's okay to remain uncertain. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? Ace died and Luffy fulfilled the incomplete promise. The inherited will, something repeated several times. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? We don't know if he's a man from Wano or even if he's important. It is not a good or bad thing. It's all your paranoia. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? The winners write history, it is something that has always happened and will always happen. Moreover, it is something that Doflamingo himself said. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? This is something that has already been explained to us, because before there was a lot of gold in Wano but it was looted for centuries until Ryuma put things in their place. You don't even know how to read anymore. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? If the same manga makes it clear to you that it is Hiyori who wants to kill Orochi. You don't even know how to read anymore. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? That is something that time will tell. It is something that concerns Wano and its inhabitants, not us. It's something that Momo will have to do like Oden did. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? Kid is a secondary character, probably with little relevance in the future, he cannot be required to develop the same as a main character. He has too much and more than we have been told on SBS 104;
- A reader asks if there is any reason why Kid and Killer became pirates. He also wants to know what the history of Heat and Wire is and why they joined Kid and Killer. Oda explains everything to us.
The 4 were born on an island in the South Blue, Kid and Killer have known each other since they were children. That island was not affiliated with the World Government, it was ruled by a criminal gang that acted as if they were royalty. The island was divided into 4 districts and in each of them there was a group of outlaws. Kid, Killer, Heat and Wire were the leaders of those outlaw groups and there was conflict between them every day.
One day, a special friend of Kid's was killed by the criminal gang that ruled the country. She was “Victoria S Doruyanaika” (Kid and Killer's first love that Oda told us about in SBS Volume 87). Kid, enraged, united the 4 groups of outlaws and eliminated the rulers of the country.
Kid: "I don't want to live in a closed world like this!"
And so he formed a pirate gang with his friends and they named his ship the “Victoria Punk”, in honor of his murdered friend.
It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? It's never mentioned that Who's Who is after Queen, that's something you guys made up. Later it is explained that Who's Who was after X-Drake. You don't even know how to read anymore. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? The Numbers in the end turn out to be fodder, as is often the case with many One Piece or any Shonen characters. Even some with interesting development. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? More mental straws that are not fulfilled and you cry. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
Well, you're wrong, simple respect for Yamato's feelings. That some brutes and chumps are more tolerant than some of this forum is a real problem.
What is the problem? There are many mothers that we don't know, including Luffy's, Zoro's, Nami's, Franky's, Brook's... Damn, Kaido is an EMPEROR, it's okay to say that Yamato is a princess. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? Carrot is a secondary character, with more development than some main characters in other works. We are even told why he can't go out to sea, whether you like it more or less. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
Well, with the topic of overcoming the limits of the fruit of Hawkins, I will give you a point. It was about time after so much crying something decent. But it's less of a problem as it's a well-developed sideshow with a cool, witty One Piece-style fight.
What is the problem? Kaido is not revered as a deity of anything. In fact, the guardian deity is the Okuchi no Makami, the fruit that Yamato ate, which Kaido does refer to as the guardian deity of Wano. You don't even know how to read anymore. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? It was confirmed that it was Yamato, in the anime it is very clear. You don't even know how to read anymore. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? Secondary character with a good development. The century of emptiness is something that is not yet destined to be known. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? We know the identity of Who's Who and the topic of talking to him about Nika is a script convenience like a million in One Piece and all the manga. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? Those of the Government yes and those of Big Mom are mini-story meat. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? No, we know that he came to open Wano's borders, but since Momo said it wasn't the time, he left. It makes perfect sense. You don't even know how to read anymore. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? It was simply a representation of the rebound effect of the Mink medicine. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? Manual cliffhanger. Non-deaths is a recurring problem in One Piece, there is no point in complaining about it at this point.
What is the problem? It has already been explained to us why the borders are not opened, but it is something that sooner or later we will see, it is perfect narratively. You don't even know how to read anymore. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
Yes, I already said that this is a small problem, but there are problems of this type in almost all the sagas. It's also not that dramatic.
What is the problem? Well, it seems that Kaido and Big Mom are really dead, for those who asked for deaths. And the King and Queen thing is already explained. You are cravings. Oda has things planned for a long time and others not so long, like any mangaka. Although Oda is one of the best planners.
What is the problem? We have already seen how Momo has matured a lot and his determination, even if she is facing an Admiral. In the end Momo is 8 years old that some of you forget. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? Caribou is the Buggy of the New World, give it time man, you are impatient.
I don't think this is part of Usopp's lies, nor do I think all lies are true. Although i will accept that the development of Usopp in Wano leaves a lot to be desired.
What is the problem? It was generally known how the Orochi fruit worked. Perhaps the only doubt is the first death, but not the others. This is ineptitude on the part of a certain fandom group. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? Thanks to the Muguis and especially to Robin. Whether you like it or not Luffy and Law are friends and not rivals.
It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? Who says Kaido doesn't have the awakened fruit? Let us remember that the awakened Zoran are characterized by their durability, which Kaido has amply demonstrated. I repeat, they don't have to explain everything to us, it's okay to leave something to the imagination and personal reasoning.
She said no such thing. That is a misunderstanding
What is the problem? The ruling lineage is always something that is emphasized for protection. And it is something that the manga itself also says when Hiyori and Momo are separated. You reach ridiculous points the truth.
What is the problem? That is something the future will tell. Again it is an anxiety problem.
What is the problem?
True, I have already said that I would have removed two or three. Kawamatsu and Denjiro and perhaps Ashura, although the latter with his death does contribute a lot to the plot.
False, they fought and won.
What is the problem? Fake. We saw what happened when Luffy "lost". Some fell apart but others kept hope, like life itself.
It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? They have made it clear to you that Big Mom's purpose was to capture/kill Luffy. Luffy is not a fortune teller and things don't always go as planned. Again like life itself. And in a way, if Luffy defeated Big Mom since it was the alliance of Luffy himself and Law. It's your problem if you wanted something else.
What is the problem? This topic has already been explained. I guess it's an anxiety problem again. You have no patience.
I'm late, but there you have everything explained.
