I thought Kuma's flashback would disappoint me. It's some of the heaviest writing Oda's ever made.

I have issues with Bonney's physical portrayal in the Manga, but Bonney and Kuma have top tier character portrayal.

The stuff Oda was cooking for years hits so much harder than the stuff he improvises, in a lot of cases.

Vivi is my favorite One Piece character, but, her characterization was really murky at the beginning, and it took Oda a while to write her right after she was transitioned from Ms. Wednesday into Vivi, the Princess of Alabasta, since Ms. Wednesday was supposed to be a different character to begin with.

Ginny just hits so hard, we've seen her in 3 chapters, and she already is one of the most emotionally moving/sympathetic characters in the series.

Kuma and Ginny's lives are hard truths to accept in this world: good people can do everything right and still be crushed by evil stronger than them. Kuma rejecting the Celestial Dragon's racism and choosing to love Bonney for Ginny, even though Bonney has the blood of the people who murdered his parents, is one of the kindest acts I've seen in One Piece.
 
Shanks one shotted midd. Kaido killed adv coc luffy.
It's a funny one but you just know there are players and adversaries beyond the Wano arc that will give G5 luffy a considerable challenge, moreso than the fight with Kaido. Shanks is certainly one of them. But in truth, Kaido should be stronger than all these foes that are coming up in the story, and that's my point of showcasing someone's strength too early in the story, it becomes a handicap for the writer.

Kaido is like another Crocodile situation, introduced and taken down way too early. Crocodile of the new world/post TS lol. Oda brought back Crocodile twice now and made him look MUCH better both times though, so maybe he might do the same for Kaido too? I could see Kaido playing a similar role to Crocodile at Marineford, helping to fight against the Marines and especially WG, he wanted to take down the WG too:




Lmao this line btw, worlds strongest hag!!!:

I would've been ecstatic if Kaidou and his crew beat the shit out of Charlos and the rest of the CDs, it's a shame Luffy defeated him because that was a genuinely good idea and he probably would have helped him do it if Kaidou wasn't such a piece of shit to the people in Wano

RIght!? With the whole Kaido waiting for Joyboy and Kaiod and King being direct victims of the WG, I expected Oda to go down this route at some point, at least Kaido giving the WG hell before he goes/is taken down. I expected the WG and Marines to launch a major assault on Wano and Kaido to potentially make a final stand there, defending Wano, acting like Joyboy and Ryuuma ironically and living up to the guardian deity role he was meant to play due to his fruit as well. Thus Oda could give Kaido a Whitebeard style sendoff if he wanted to, let him try to redeem Kaido in death, desptie the horrific atrocities Kaido made when he was alive ofc.

A lot of OP villains are just imitating the WG in the same kind of BS they do, the same evils, the same cruelties, its ironic really. Some of them despite the WG and yet parrot them so much.

It would have been so catharthic if we could have seen Big Mom and Kaido rampaging against the WG and Marines, along with their crews too. King getting revenge especially too, not just for his own torture and cruel experimentation but the actual genocide of his race entirely, all but him and thus using him to create the grossly insulting Seraphims too.

Oh I don't deny that shanks can be above Kaido. He is roger 2.0 and oda's golden boy but using Kidd one shot feat is not valid imo when Kaido killed much stronger character in Adv coc G4 Luffy.

Oda could have gone that round and at least could have made young Kaido as a "good" character who then changed due to the harsh world of OP. Its also a shame that he never touched upon his race.

Right!? Thats EXACTLY what I expected for him too, a Broken Bird type, started off idealistic, innocent, a sort of Luffy-like character but broken by the cruelty of the world and becoming just as bad as it, kinda like Moriah ironically but a much more crueller and aggressive version, a version that chose to not give up but fight back and give the world hell in return.

He had the last of his kind, the last of his race vibes, I thought he would personally relate to King on that level and maybe he would be recruiting others in similar situations like having their tribes and or families wiped out and being sole survivors, so he adopts them, trains them and gives them protection and strength, teaches them to survive and fight back.

He has some of the best lines and insights about the world, he was extremely aware of the cruelty and injustices of the world, how it really worked and the rampant corruption everywhere, Oda really wrote fire when he wrote his speeches. Him and Doflamingo definitely. No wonder they were partners in crime too then too.
 
Kuma & Ginny had it rough. I hope Bonney can be saved. She probably be the last person to join the crew, since she’s a dreamer like the shs. I wonder if she’s even cured? If not, this will motivate chopper to find the cure to this super rare disease, and save Bonney life unlike with Hiriluk.

What if Dragon purposely let WG do bad things to show the world how evil they are despite being able to avoid it? I still think Dragon is not the good anti-WG guy everyone believes he is. He is more of a greyzone.
He doesnt have to. Kuma already knows it much better. And oda aint writing stuff like that.
