General & Others Should Crocodile and Enel have had Flashbacks in their Arcs?

[Dettles]

Do you think Characters like Crocodile and Enel should have gotten Flashbacks in their arc? Like Enel finding his Devil Fruit, being and God, and destroying Bika. Or Crocodile voyaging to the New World and being beaten by Whitebeard? Would it have added anything to those arcs?

we could get enel backstory when strawhats visit the moon

No. Every villain doesn't need a sad backstory.

Crocodile didnt because it was too early to reveal his backstory.
Not sure about Enel, doesn't seem to be connected like Crocodile is.

I don't remember when villain flashback started being a thing.

And yes it would have been great in my opinion. Now we're more than 1000 chapters into the story and only have hints.

Doesn't need to be sad. Especially Enel, he could be like Doflamingo. But Crocodile is on the redeemable banndwagon since he got out of Impel Down

It might be because it will reveal future plot and they might also be not that important.

It kind off started with Rob Lucci with those scars on his back, but the villain flashbacks like we know them today have ALWAYS been present post timeskip. Hody, Doflamingo, Big Mom, Katakuri, Kaido, King, Kizaru and somewhat Loki all had their respective sad flashbacks.
