Break Week The scabbards show Oda's hypocrisy

#42
Despite them doing poorly in popularity polls, (Momo and Kinemon legit cracked >90th place) Oda still decided to keep drawing panels for them, focusing on them relentlessly, and never giving up on them despite none of them being popular.

But with the straw hats? You can see how he treats the straw hats that aren't as popular, Franky in an arc that focuses on the smartest man in the world, a man who Franky spent the last 2 years learning from in his lab. Oda can't be bothered to give him any relevance whatsoever. He'd rather give that focus to Zoro because he's popular

And this is is how it is for every straw hat that doesn't place top 10, it doesn't matter how close an arc matches the themes of that straw hat, Oda cannot be bothered to give them anything more than reaction shots, but side characters it doesn't matter if they are last place or have no fans at all, Oda will make sure those characters get millions of panels
I'm sorry but authors should never, NEVER, take what the audience want (in this case through popularity polls) and change their story only to satisfy the readers/viewers. It's his choice, and should be respected, even if sometime one could not agree.

Vegapunk gave us a basic description of his theory of the origins of devil fruit, we dont fully know how df were made.

Also With who wants to be Jacket or swamp,you know that there strange people in real life of who have weird fetishs or who have weird thought processes and one piece has weirder people than real life so its not hard to believe some weirdos would like to be a Jacket or a swamp.
first the only df that can be easily truely replicated is normal and ancient zoan, vega punk can't replicate logias and it's seem that he can only turn Paramecias into green blood that is used to give artificial humans df powers, its not like he created his own original df, for me doesn't take away any of the magic of df they still gives crazy power and has magical ability to be reborn into a new fruit and tired of people being surprised/outraged about something that was hinted for a while like momos artificial df and caesars smile fruits.
why are you grouping two normal zoans awakenings with way more powerfull df treating it as a norm for every powerfull df.
For what I understand is not Vegapunk theory but it is what he read of Ohara books that Saul brought to Elbaf. So DF are dreams indeed.

Yeah people are weird but no one dreams is to be a jacked or swamp. People dream with greatness not to be a loser.

Vegapunk can easily recreate Zoans(normal and ancient) and Paramecia. Zoans because he just need the animal DNA or whatever. Paramecia because he needs the user blood which makes no fucking sense. Mythical Zoan probably doesn't fit here because there are no really Mythical creatures in One Piece but still somehow he recreated Kaido DF. Yeah Logia he didn't recreated or just said it is too hard to do it because Admirals need some hype. If you can recreate an animal because you know how the animal is how you can't recreat sand, fire, ice...

SMILEs as failed Zoans doesn't bother at all since they barely gives you a real boost in strength and makes your body looks really weird. No one would eat at own will because there is only 10% chance of "success" and if doesn't you will lost your emotions and will laugh to the rest of your life.
Momonosuke DF is really shit but he was such an irrelevant character that no one bothered even after he turned adult since he was still weak and couldn't use haki or his DF power properly.
Besides it was the only DF replicated and people speculate that also be a flaw somehow.

No he precisely said his theory that df are dreams/desires of the evolution of humans and it feels to me you really want it be simple as someone dream/wish for a df and it was created from nothing so you can take what he says literally so you can hate on oda and theses the detail that with all of the suffering in the world of one piece, so why don't we see df appearing around the world because it's not simple as just dreaming for a creates a df.
Vegapunk can easily recreate Zoans(normal and ancient) and Paramecia. Zoans because he just need the animal DNA or whatever.
Dude Don't act like that saying "whatever" oda is the mangaka he created the df and this fictional science his the makes the rules so you need just suck it up.
Paramecia because he needs the user blood which makes no fucking sense.
Fictional science about magical fruit that hasn't been explained just take what said as a fact and stop being a hater,also Paramecia only been said to be able turn into green blood and not a fruit.
Mythical Zoan probably doesn't fit here because there are no really Mythical creatures in One Piece but still somehow he recreated Kaido DF
Vegapunk said it takes large amount resources recreate Mythical df so its a very hard thing to do.
Yeah Logia he didn't recreated or just said it is too hard to do it because Admirals need some hype. If you can recreate an animal because you know how the animal is how you can't recreat sand, fire, ice...
None of this matter only thing matters its not so easily recreate all df as you said especially when a super genius like vegapunk with the resources of world government is the only one can one you replicate these results so its not easy.
SMILEs as failed Zoans doesn't bother at all since they barely gives you a real boost in strength and makes your body looks really weird. No one would eat at own will because there is only 10% chance of "success" and if doesn't you will lost your emotions and will laugh to the rest of your life.

So much of what doesn't matter related to what I said, its was always been said that vegapunk was better sciencetist than caesar and his smile are lower quality than his artificial df and then you momos df aka nearly clone of kaidos so there was hints that vegapunk could replicate df way better than caesar but for some you guys got outraged from something that was obvious aka vegapunk able to replicate df.
Besides it was the only DF replicated and people speculate that also be a flaw somehow
The flaw was it a was different colour, vegapunk said that.

You are contradicting yourself and putting words on my mouth.
Never said that I wanted DF to be simple or complicated. I just don't want to be ruined. That dream bullshit is ruining DF. It is stupid. So as cloning DFs.
And you said yourself that isn't that simple as dreaming otherwise DF would be appearing all over the world when we know it is most common at grand line and even more at New World.

It seems to be that it was something that happened in the past but is not happening again. Was a time that created all the existing DFs but there is nobnew DF being created anymore.
Dude Don't act like that saying "whatever" oda is the mangaka he created the df and this fictional science his the makes the rules so you need just suck it up.
Now you are overrracting. Typical Odatard that thinks all he does is perfect. I said whatever simple because I don't know exactly what was the explanation. It doesn't matter the scientific details. I got the general idea of how he does. Period.
Fictional science about magical fruit that hasn't been explained just take what said as a fact and stop being a hater,also Paramecia only been said to be able turn into green blood and not a fruit.
I'm taking that as a fact but I don't have to like it. It is stupid. I'm not saying it is retcon or it goes against anything previously stablished but it sucks and makes no sense. Would make much more sense if he could replicate all DF like that. It would already explain how he replicated Kaido DF.
Vegapunk said it takes large amount resources recreate Mythical df so its a very hard thing to do.
But he didn't explained how he did. Oda does not have an idea yet to explain. He just said that is expensive and difficult so little go. And Odatards like you are letting go. Real fan like me will not let it go because it is important and is ruining the manga.
None of this matter only thing matters its not so easily recreate all df as you said especially when a super genius like vegapunk with the resources of world government is the only one can one you replicate these results so its not easy.
So simply doesn't matter if Vegapunk can or not recreate the Logia. Are you even enjoying the lore or just sucking Oda balls?
So much of what doesn't matter related to what I said, its was always been said that vegapunk was better sciencetist than caesar and his smile are lower quality than his artificial df and then you momos df aka nearly clone of kaidos so there was hints that vegapunk could replicate df way better than caesar but for some you guys got outraged from something that was obvious aka vegapunk able to replicate df.
First of all Vegapunk doesn't seem that great. He seems to take others inventions and make it better. If anything Caesar came first with SMILEs then Vegapunk evolved. Same with Judge he made the clones and Vegapunk evolved just like Vegapunk did with Ohara knowledge. Can't even say that he is a genius when he has that DF that pretty much does everything to him.
Like I said SMILEs were minor issue since they were flawed DF and no one cared about Momo to be relevant that DF were being replicated. But now that we are seeing a bunch of them, yes it sucks. Now they are the focus they aren't back then.
The flaw was it a was different colour, vegapunk said that.
He didn't said he just asked. It still can have more flaws but we don't know. Maybe his DF can't awaken.
