I want you to use whichever measurement of “Good Fight” you care about with whichever combination of the usual things to consider:
- Pacing (Like we don’t cut away to random shit that messes with the flow)
- Art and Choreography (This goes without saying that it should be well drawn and Oda should probably actually draw choreography instead of his usual shit)
- Momentum (Proper build up to events in the fight. For example one character shouldn’t randomly do something with no explanation, like Zoro shouldn’t randomly make his swords Black Blades mid fight)
- Length (This would get coupled with pacing but I think a lot of people would not like this fight to be 1 chapter long even if it’s paced well. Let’s hope it can make it to 2 chapters by some miracle)
- Tension (Supposedly Oda has already failed to make anyone care about Zoro’s dreams so no one cares whether Zoro achieves it. And the alternative is to have there be Life or death stakes in this fight which is unlikely since Oda doesn’t kill anyone. And lastly there is no animosity between these two. So I think we can give tension a 0% right now)
And whatever else you care about. Like do you need both Zoro and Mihawk’s backstories? Do you need to see Zoro’s training in the time skip? Do you need to know about Zoro’s eye? Do you need Oda to finally explain Ashura? Does Oda have to maybe also explain what “swordsmanship” even means? Whatever you want.
Do you believe Oda has the physical and mental capability NOT to disappoint you with this fight? (The bar for this is the fight simply being GOOD, not Great, just good)
