Character Discussion Straw Hats dynamic got better or worst?

[symbiote]

I think after Wano we’ll be done with alliances and it’ll just be the Straw Hats

I hope the fuck so.

 

[MugiwaraMaster]

I think anyone with a brain can easily say Pre-Timeskip is better.

The Flanderization hit the crew so hard that they all feel like caricatures of themselves than the same character. Not to mention anyone outside the Monster Trio were always in the background unfortunately.

The endgame or all-out war by the end of the manga will probably be far worse in terms of SH dynamic, because we will have so many characters, alliances and battles. Strawhats will only be a small part of it, but let's see what happens in the arcs in-between.

 

[Finalbeta]

I'm excited for Elbaf. It will presumably constitute the last big enough arc that will be substantially SH centered.

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Even Wano?

Yes.

 

[Finalbeta]

Yes.

How so bud

pre time skip of course
like i said before this wano arc oda try to introduce new characters but they became "Stealing Spotlight" for straw hats crews.
the 9 scabbrad, yakuza group samurai rebel o tama even oden is boring because samurai story have been use sooo many time already ... example : 7 samurais,47 ronins,vangabond hell even star wars that,s why this new samurais is fall flat n boring compare to straw hats crew
the only thing that can be develop are just inuarashi ,nekomusashi n that kappa but others are just standard samurai film about revenge n honor
Hell compared to captains in bleach 9 scabbrad fell flat in characters personality n characters development ...

I guess I have to ask ... since I saw some debates about it

which version of straw hats pirates did you like the most? (personality wise)


Straw Hats Pre Time Skip

Straw Hats Post Time Skip

Explain Your Reasons ​

Look at the pictures you posted
Oda's pre ts drawings had more life and expressions.

The crew felt like a true family. Bonded well
Now it just feels off

I kinda want to see chopper and law interact more. They’re doctors and they barely hang out together. Chopper also seems to be attached somewhat to Law, knowing how anti social he is it would be cute seeing chopper trying to win him over

 

[Finalbeta]

Chopper would be able to teach Law so much about medicine funnily.

Too much plot holes, the Strawhats dynamic got slightly better but they got separated again. The most I can see is them getting celebrated at the end of Wano and that's it.

At least the plot is spicing up quite a bit when it comes to the SH dynamics. It's not enough but a start for now. If Oda develops Usopp and Nami further I will catalogue it as a very good arc from that perspective. Sadly I'm not that confident.

Awesomeness wise we had Zoro greatness , a beatiful setting and many other pluses regardless. The negatives pale before all of this magnificence.
