Right!? Well said!
:cheers:
That's what irks me off so much especially! I really enjoyed Skypeia for those reasons and it sold me so much on OP during that time I was watching it! (I was anime first to OP)
Those people completely miss the point, the spirit, themes, message, whatever of OP as you said. It's completely baffling and ridiculous.
If there's any arc that summarises Oda's feelings, personality, thoughts, ambitions especially as a writer, it's Skypeia! I'm not sure what his favourite arc would be but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Skypeia! I also loved Water 7 for it's world building/design too for example!
Zou also felt like a post TS Skypeia and imo Elbaf is gonna be a lot like that too. I really hope so and can't wait for it if that's true.
The Romance of Adventure, Romance Dawn, why Oda didn't want "Romance in the crew" and such, it really does go over their heads doesn't it?
Oda apparently said recently he loves doing OP for drawing new characters, creating them more than anything. He was supposed to be joking but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. He does make some very iconic, memorable, hilarious, creative characters, ones that really stand out too!
OP has really lost that sense of adventure post TS but I hope it comes back in full force with Elbaf, Lodestar if we get that as an arc or whatever and Laugh Tale especially ofc. End the series on a high and back to it's beginnings, it's roots. Go full circle and such.
I gotta say I did love the creativity of his during these arcs though, I thought WCI was still really impressive with the world building for it, Capone's DF, Big Mom's homies, Zunisha, Punk Hazard's design, Wano's waterfalls and currents as well as its unique art style, Dressrosa's architecture/design style, Mary Geoise's contraptions at Reverie arc , especially that balloon elevator thing (fuck the slave travelator thing or w/e it was, the conveyor belt or so?) and so on.
