Lmao true! When Oda isn't doing Nami face #348 (slight exaggeration), he can do some fantastic designs for female characters!
Although I'd like some badass ones, more serious ones too. Not necesarily just pretty faces or even pretty at all and definitely not exaggerated, ugly cariactures either who will usually get clowned anyway by Oda.
He ruined Boa with the whole Luffy simping gag and making her a damsel despite being a warlord and having a whole race of haki using warriors pre TS and he constantly relies on making female characters have a gag, be fuels for Sanji gags and be damsels, its tiring.
Komurasaki had mad potential before she became Hiyori, I do really like Hiyori but I might have preferred them as 2 alternative characters too. But Black Maria is kinda like an "actually evil Komurasaki", a genuinely evil counterpart, so that works too ofc. Hiyori having to play the role of Komurasaki did add deptht to her too especially when she confronted Orochi in the end and almost got to take him down entirely by herself, sigh Oda lol. She still did really well ofc though.
God knows the wasted potential of Smoothie is something else too though. At least Ulti and Maria were decent for what they were, I like them a lot.
