General & Others Which of the 4 do you hate the most in regards to Wano?

[pg13]

These are probably the biggest complaints about the arc, if you have to pick one, which one grinds your gears the most?

Leave Your Thoughts :)

 

[Jailer]

The pacing, all the problems stem from that

 

[Desolate Smaug]

Has to be pacing and silly plots that took way too much time and space. I think the early acts should have been like 15chapters each. Then Onigashima to take around 50 chapters. So total of 80 chapters.

 

[Mr. Reloaded]

The pacing this arc outdid Dressrosa.

I never would have believed something that horrid could exist.

 

[Monkey D Theories]

The yonko fights were mid tier writing. If the final war fights go down like this, OP is going to be like game of thrones or AOT

 

[Finalbeta]

The lack of holy ZKK

 

[Seatonnes]

NOTHING WANO HAS 0 FLAWS LIKE GODA, SO AMAZING SO PERFECT
WANO > EVERY PIECE OF FICTION AND NON FICTION

 

[WesMidnight]

There was nothing wrong with most of the fights that happened.
Pacing/run piece was the worst culprit and contrived reasons to make the scabbards fight Kaidou in the first place rather than the SNs, Luffy can literally fly from the bottom of Onigashima to the top in an instant.

 

[Garp the Fist]

Too many characters is the main problem of Wano that nearly all other problems stem from.

Enies Lobby, Impel Down, and Marineford all had a lot of characters

 

[Herrera95]

Pacing and plots that went to nowhere are almost the same. I don't see that being an issue if Wano had good execution of fights and main lore.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Plots that went no where. Pacing is honestly no worse than other arcs but the sheer amount of plots that just were instantly resolved or ignored is nuts.

 

[Cher]

where's the option for "all of the above and more"?

 

[KonyaruIchi]

Plot points that went nowhere are definitely a big minus, but I think the biggest flaw was how weirdly paced Wano was, some fights were really bad in that regard, and I feel like early Wano was taking too much time so the actual important bits were just kinda skimmed over (like the death of Ashura/Izo, the offscreening of the "Dawn") and others.

 

[Sanji D Cook]

The pacing. There has to be a rule that states an arc can be no longer than 75 chapters. Wano dragged for about 4 years and the payoff felt flat.

 

[The White Crane]

Abandoned plot points, hands down.

Can't believe I felt more tension in WCI than Wano jeez.

Enies Lobby, Impel Down, and Marineford all had a lot of characters

Not only did they have a lot of characters, they actually had more characters than Wano and yet didn't suffer pacing issues.

Impel Down and Marine Ford had:

1. Ace
2. Luffy
3. Whitebear and his crew
4. All admirals and Vice Admirals
5. Black Beard
6. Buggy and his crew from impel Down
7. Magellan and the other warden
8. Jinbei
9. All Warlords
10. Coby
11. and a lot more.

Wano had:

1. Kaido and his crew
2. Big Mom
3. Scabbards
4. Marco
5. Kid, Killer, Hawkins, Apoo and Drake
6. Neko/Inu

Impel Down and Marineford has Wano beat in characters and yet produced much quality chapters in literally a third of the time.

 

[Finalbeta]

Abandoned plot points, hands down.

And inconsistent ones

 

[Blackknife]

My biggest problem with Wano as someone who overall liked the arc is that is was too big. I feel like by the time Oda finished writing the storyboard for this arc he realized how long it would take to actually finish it and then panicked. The result of that is a 4 year arc with rushed pacing, which feels unrewarding for the reader who put up with it.

Oda has this big story and adventure that he want's to show us but he really needs to learn to say no to himself sometimes in terms of content and prioritise quality over quantity.
