Damn, Greg.
Why would you kill @ArturCantSpeakJapanese like this?
:pepebusi:
Greg is genuinely retarded and thinks his passing knowledge of modern day Kabuki for low attention spans means anything when it comes to jidaimono plays. Literally every famous historical Kabuki is five OR MORE acts. There are fourteen act plays that were common at the height of Kabuki. He genuinely does not know what he's talking about. Jo ha kyu refers to the overall pacing, not the act structure.

"but I've been to Japan and all the Kabuki staged there is three acts!" Ok tourist. Good for you. This means fucking nothing when it comes to historical Kabuki or wano which is based on historical, not modern stagings. You can point to all the half a day ryoku stagings you want, it doesn't change the fact that in the past, Kabuki lasted all day, sometimes multiple days in a row because plays were so long. If he had ever studied the classics, like yoshitsune and the thousand cherry trees (5 acts!) or the treasury of loyal retainers (11 acts!), you know, the main plays that Oda is referencing with wano, he might realize they're not three acts and never were.

I can't believe he's calling other people out for wikipedia knowledge when that's all he has. Greg the tourist just googling "Kabuki" and thinking he's done. Guarantee he knows nothing of specific plays, why Oda is referencing the Three Kabuki Greats (all of which are five or more acts) or the difference between jidaimono and sewamono, or even, clearly, what Jo ha kyu actually means. If he's stupid enough to think it literally refers to three acts rather than the overall slow build to a climax and then resolution pacing I can't imagine how many other mistakes he's made over the years. This line kills his reputation.
