Break Week What situation will make Wano the best arc?
- Thread starter serkeara
- Start date
Wano is a failure because there’s no emotional bedrock to its story. Robin was the emotional bedrock of Enies Lobby, Ace was the emotional bedrock of Marineford, etc.
It’s very obvious that the emotional bedrock of Wano’s story was intended to be the scabbards. Ask yourself seriously. Do you care about the scabbards? As much as Ace? Robin? Law? Vivi?
The answer for 99+% of you should be no. So Wano’s story has no emotional bedrock, meaning the entirety of the arc’s story is uninteresting. There’s some really hype moments, but you’re lying if you say you actually care about any scabbard or the actual story of Wano.
There’s no way 115+ chapters of poor setup and execution can be made up for.

Good fights. There's still time for this arc to end a good one, given the most important battles remain.
Give me a great Sanji fight, a great Zoro fight, a properly choreographed Law and Kidd vs Big Mom, and then a proper believable finale and it can easily be the best post skip arc.
I'll forget a lot of the bs in between if Oda manages that. He fumbled big time with the flying 6 and the remaining supernova.

Well, he really can't at this stage. When you take the culmination of all the acts, Wano has too much dragging it down. Oda can make the ending pretty memorable though and make Onigashima a worth while reread in the future.
He just needs to focus on the fights themselves now and making sure any character who appears on screen has a purpose going forward. It's totally fine to make Franky vanish for the rest of the arc if it means dedicating time to plot points still in play.
I'd say give Zoro/Sanji a solid 4 chapter fight a piece, give Law/Kidd something similar and make sure Kaido doesn't collapse like a bitch.

Best situation to redeem Wano is an official announcement "Oda had been kidnapped since 2011 during 1 month break for timeskip. One of his editor replaced him but now we get Oda back and he is planning to rewrite the series since return to Sabaody arc."
So now we all can pretend that post TS never happened and the sheet is still white and blank.
