Current Events So…why did Oda offscreen the Sepherim fights?

[Lion of Olympus]

Am I the only one upset by this? It just seems like extremely lazy writting to set up a problem for the straw hats to overcome only for them to deal with it offscreen without even explaining how.

Tbh this is probably one of the worst instances of Oda offscreening something, the other times he at least bothered to explain what happened offscreen, but here he didn’t even care enough to do that

 

[Tapioca]

I think the point might be to give less focus to their abilities as children. Once matured, they won't be as easily subdued.

It is worth noting that Bonnie could potentially age the Seraphims to adulthood.

 

[LemonadeCandy]

I think at this point we are simply supposed to assume they subdued them with the bubble guns. They would only need a single clear shot to wrap it up and considering the Seraphim were outnumbered on almost all fronts it should have been easy enough to find.

This still leaves their actual limits a mystery as none of them look injured and going by the last we saw of the battle, nobody even knows how to damage them.

Bubble gun diffed again. With a bubble gun even Usopp could defeat WB.

Because Oda cannot show his protagonists manhandled children.

But yeah why create the problem if you do not intend to show the resolution?

This is the reason why. They are merely a preview here and evidently WG threats in the future. In the end, if the end result was to capture them, then Oda would have just frankly wasted multiple chapters on it at this point. 3 of them arent even here

Because they are boring and Oda wants to finish Egghead

 

[HA001]

I said this from the beginning
It was made very clear the seraphim are not for this arc. And need to be taken back by the wg
They were not made to be beaten already.

hasnt there been like 10 threads about this it isnt a big fucking deal they were all caught in the bubbles so there wasn't even a fight...


gtfo it its fucking children seraphin, they aren't even matured yet.

Those 3 may have been captured by Cross Guild by Crocodile just drying them out, locking them in a pure seastone cage like he did in Alabasta, and moisturizing them so they don't die but are still captured.

 

[.Charm.]

Because Seraphims are a huge mistake and need to be eradicated soon.

 

[Ven437]

Because Oda just wanted to show off their abilities but not the way to counter them. Luffy and Zoro already failed to put them down while being serious, imagine if they had to use G5 and KOH just to do the job, that would be major embarrassing for them.

We know they are powerful, on the level of some YCs but that's all there is to it.

only people who are really upset are Zoro fan boys tbh

I’m the exact opposite of a Zoro fan and I’m still upset

 

[Welkin]

Glad they got offscreened, didn't want 10 more chapters of them taking no damage

Though I do think it's weak writing to introduce a force that can't be dealt with in an entertaining way onscreen

It’s mainly due to them wanting to showcase Zoro>Mihawk but realistically speaking seraphim’s should all be stronger than their counterparts.
