As much I did not like Dressrosa I can't deny that this was possibly one the greatest moment in the series
If this is really the end I would say the Wano arc was
- There were major pacing issues. The battle was literally all over the place.
- Usopp and Nami did not really have any fights in such a monumental battle.
- Kinemon and Momo had way too much screentime.
- I was not invested one bit by the Scabbards and took too much space.
- I have no idea why Law was even in this conflict but his motivation was weak same for Kidd.
- Apart from being attractive, Yamato doesn't really bring anything of substance to the crew, and story.
- The absence of Smoker and Tashigi was the biggest sin of this arc which would have naturally raise the hype and stakes.
However I did like:
- The roof top battle was an eye candy of double spreads, and coolness
- More Marimo is always welcome.
- I like Robin got to shine and have some kind of development since forever
- This was the first time since PH that the crew was in an arc from start to finish
- I like the Zoro and Sanji dynamic the most in this arc.
- The Oden flashback was good because we got to see Roger, and Whitebeard.
- Gear 5 was simply fantastic and epic.
In conclusion, if this is the end I would say Wano was an epic arc but its lack of good supporting cast, pacing issues, and stakes prevents it from living up to its hype
