Lol, Caesar is the only villain that appears in like what, 4 arcs in a row?

Punk Hazard, Dressrosa (well, only the beginning), Zou, Whole Cake Island.

Then he appears in the cover story during Wano and is likely will be appearing again with the Neo Mads alliance with Judge.

GOATED villain.:joker:
Cross guild is going to need scientists to learn the ancient kingdom technology when they get there

Maybe the reason Doffy is the only great Post TS villain is because Oda had probably been working on his story for far longer? (either that or taking too many cues from based Crocodude) I mean, the guy was already an amazing and evil character since his first appearance all the way back in the Jaya arc, so its probable that Oda already had things planned out for him, at least to some degree.

Kaido was hyped up way too much and his characterization turned out as bland as his looks and motivation.

Big Meme probably takes the cake for worst Post TS villain though. Hyped up as some big momster but was just old, incompetent, dumb as a pile of rocks, a pretty mediocre fighter, and a big joke with a contradictory mindset and goals.

Overall Pre TS > Post TS with the exception of Doffy.

I think Hody's execution was fine. It's just that OP fans didn't understand his message at all.
We got his message loud and clear. The problem with Hody is that he lacked a presence and wasn't a real threat to the Straw Hats as he and his gang were used as an opportunity to showcase how much the Straw Hats' training has (allegedly) help them grow since the timeskip, and there was no way that Oda would have them struggle against Hody Jones and the Fish-Man Pirates when the point of the training was to enter the New World with little trouble (though having Luffy struggled immensely against Hody Jones was a rather strange call from Oda).

Crocodile was similar to Hody in terms of being a straight up villian with little reasoning for his actions other than pure selfish reasons, but the difference between him and Hody is that many consider Crocodile to be a really cool villian and he was also a threat that we took seriously everytime he made his existence known. Hody never came close to having such a commanding air around him, and as such most of us don't consider him a good villian, regardless of the theme he represented.

I'm disappointed in post timeskip villains.
None of them were able to push zoro except for kaido. It misses out on so much of Zoro greatness.
Let that be fishmen island , Dressrosa zoro casually go on defeats hus opponent. Not even a low diff properly.

The number one problem I had with his execution is his connection with vander decken.

I think vanders involvement in this arc distracted way too much from the actual theme and Hody and really watered it down through vanders shitty gags and actual pedophilia.

I feel like Fishman Island would’ve been a fine arc if it was just about the fishman pirates.
vander decken ix was alright imho as a villain

Pre TS villains have cool motivations
Post TS the same but Only caesar Doffy and kaido fulfill the role
Katakuri hody jones and big meme trash
But afterall post TS is:tchpepe:
"They are the D the ones who will bring the storm to the world"
"Mugiwara come back to my house and defeat my mom you are looking to far in the future"
"Mugiwara what kind of world are you trying to make"
:laughmoji:

Excluding the Donquixote Family, the pre TS villains had better designs, buildup, plot and humor behind them
Even Captain Morgan outclasses arc villains like CC

Oda truly fumbled the series post TS

• R2: Which one has more charisma?
Crocodile and Doflamingo

• R3:Which one was more evil?
Doflamingo and it is not even close

• R4: Which one has better designs?
Even the Baroque Works fodder were designed well, Cp9 comes in second

• R5: Which one provides better fights against the Straw Hats?
Cp9 easily had the best choreography and power ups

• Personal Question: Which of them are your favorites?
Baroque Works and Cp9
