Powers & Abilities What caused the decline in One Puece fights.

#3
Lack of Emotional investment

Artstyle change making damage not look as brutal

Worse Pacing

In Zoro's case, it's that he went from a swordman to a Hakiman, making his fights more boring

Size difference after time skip fucked OP choreography. It looks weird and bad for 170Cm person to fight 10M guy
There's also the fact that larger guys look bad regardless of powerscaling if they get manhandled by someone a lot smaller

Burgess wouldn't look so bad if He was Sabo's size, but the size difference makes the stomp he got pretty humiliating for example, and that's a guy who we are supposed to take seriously as a Yonko commander

The inconsistency also doesnt help.

What decline exactly? One piece never had any special fighting in the firsts place oda doesn’t really like drawing fights one piece was always about the story and some cool ,hype moments and straw hats power ups and progression that’s all it never had many fights so I dunno what are you even trying to say ..

Where do you think they started to decline?
Main matchups in Fishman Island. It was very clear what he wanted with the strawhats. Luffy gets all the glory. Zoro gets whatever is left and Sanji basically jobs until he gets serious. Usopp gets wins that nobody could enjoy. Robin is a damsel. Nami and Chopper got good fights post timeskip. Franky is entertaining but doesn't really show the extent of his ability. Mostly gags. Brooke is a badass but his fights don't scale its mostly just seeing what new ability he has. And anything interesting gets off paneled. So around chapter 600 the fights fell of.

Also he decided off polls which characters would get love. Like smoker was no longer important.

There's 0 tension in the fights. We all know they're gonna win. The only thing we wonder about is what power they'll come out with.

Non strawhat fights are more interesting
