[ShinmenTakezo]

 

[ShadyOjiro]

-Plot birdcage .

-Sabo and the Mera mera.

-FS

Reusing nonstop Ace for emotional purposes.
Quite tired of it ....next saga we migth discover that Ace was friend of someone living in Laughtale or Elbaf

 

[zaman]

definitively the haki and overall plot issue with MF, it's his biggest mistake with his obvious greediness that makes him elongating his manga so much.

For me its the sheer number of unaddressed plot points and characters but a lot of that can go away if he eventually dedicates time to them.

Creating this series in general, and acting like he had everything figured out from the start. Arguably, he STILL has no idea how he’s gonna stick the landing, and boy, if he doesn’t...

C´mon, post-TS was 3 times really, at least from what i remember, Red Hawk, now in Wa No and Dressrosa.
For an event that crucial to the narrative, it´s really not too much, definitely not nonstop.

...Learning the biggest mystery in the series isn’t part of the end to you?? Whatever comes after Wano should be considered as part of the final stretch, that’s been confirmed by some pretty reliable sources.

All of post-timeskip aside from Zou and Reverie

Lol

Tbh the man needs to stop introducing new groups and plot points and focus on the ones he has already. Like off the bat:

- Shanks and his crew
- Blackbeard and his crew
- Akainu and the Marines
- Im, the Gorosei and the WG
- Dragon and the Revolutionaries
- The Underworld
- The remaining Shichibukai
- Former Level 6 prisoners
- The Supernova
- The SHF

- Elbaf
- Laugh Tale
- Final War

-1000 different mysteries


Is what is has been around for a while still unaddressed. In the last 100 chapters alone, Oda now introduced/teased:

- The SSG (a subgroup of Vegapunk)
- Rocks
- Lodestar
- God Valley


as additional concepts on top of this. My fear is that he won't properly address everything. At least if we are dead it won't matter lol.

This is definitely part of my fear. Hopefully the "final stretch" is more the "final leg" of the journey that can encompass everything thats needed to be covered, and not just a final arc. There should be multiple arcs left, especially since Elbaf, Lodestar and Laugh Tale are geographically all not in the same place anyway (assuming they go to the first 2 islands at least). Then there's just the pure fact that we actually don't know what is truly left. There could be more islands and we just don't know yet.

When you read one piece, you spend your whole time getting excited about possible fights/scenario that never really happen so you end up never being satisfied, but thats not rly his fault
Idk,
SH never losing, no stakes
Females being overprotected
Strong fighters with passive mindset aka robin and jinbei
Lack of haki in the first part of the series
Taking personal breaks right after breaks from the issue cuz they werent personal


The series is still the most entertaining manga around so I dont rly care

 

[kentasaiba]

Replace Vivi with Robin.

 

[Fujishiro]

What would you say was Oda's biggest mistake in the series

Not giving other straw hats fights, especially zoro.

typo, i meant what really the OP will do as consequence ie "uniting " the whole world in all ways.

Preventing devil fruit users from swimming, if i could change only one concept in the series it would be that. Reasons:

1. OP's world is extremely diverse and incredibly rich yet not fully utilized, it's basically consists of the Blue Sea and one small continent. So There are many locations underwater the strawhats could have discovered. Bubbles are shit, i want Luffy to dive in, find treasures, new devil fruits in the bottom of the ocean, like a real pirate.

2. Without the sea weakness Zoan class devil fruits will get a shitload of sea creatures. I dislike the idea that there isn't any fish Zoan tbh, we need sharks, whales and a mythical Kraken. More importantly, Ship battles. No sea water weakness means devil fruit users can battle it out on sea without hesitation since they won't be drowning. Some devil fruit attacks would even look much better underwater.

Almost basically this.
The stupidest decision he made was limiting where the Main Cast can go and see and explore. That and he doesn't even capitalize on Boat/ship battles. It's a GD Mother Fucking Pirate Manga, where's the looting etc... even from other pirates damn it! lol The series is so watered down.

I don’t think it’s even negotiable at this point that all the stuff you outlined here and earlier in your post need to happen/be resolved before it all comes to a close. That doesn’t mean a final arc, I think they’ve been saying it’s the last saga which should still include answers to all our questions. Should take at least 5-7 years as stated, but with the accelerating pace in Wano, it’s not impossible that it can be wrapped up within that timeframe.

 

[BangOO🍅]

Making Killer looks like a low tier.
Make people underestimated the true god, Urouge.
Make people doesnt believe coby will be able to defeat hancock.
hiding X-Drake and most importantly Babe Maria for a while lol.
Bringing back Sabo and he able to master mera mera no mi immediately.
Big Mom disrespect.
Make people believe yonko is the gods.
offscreened Akainu vs Aokiji fight.

 

[Celestial D. Dragon]

Oda already retconned Kaido's durability.

It's not a retcon. It's never been mentioned anywhere that Kaido can't be hurt. He's lost 7 times after all.
