General & Others Why did Oda ruin Ace's design?

[Midnight Delight]

Look at how much SOUL Alabasta Ace's design had

He looked like your cool stoner older brother

Now look at this piece of shit

Soulless

Why did Oda do this

They look the same

 

[Tobra]

you expect him to wear his hat when getting executed? personally i don’t see any difference between the designs

I don't think so 🤔

Ace 1 is the epitome of badass schizo

Ace MF looks more like a puppy

Look at his face

 

[Tobra]

Look at his face

the art style changed that’s it

Changed for the worse

Imo, the newer version looks better.

 

[NeutralWatcher]

Ace's design in MF is the best.

What are you about lmao?

His facial design looks even better at marineford when compared to Alabasta.

Or are you talking about the clothes he's wearing? I don't think he has of a choice in that department considering what he's there for...

Why did Oda do this

First pic Is weird, 2nd one Is trash as fuck.
MF Ace was a guy who was beaten down. He's not going to look his best. But either way he looked his best than the first two.

 

[Lion of Olympus]

His old one was god awful

 

[Ravagerblade]

And PS. You made me wish Ace never died again, as I always did. He was a cool MF, he had some potential but was cut short. Such a tragedy.

 

[Calypso]

Don't insult my pretty dead boy

He is always nice looking.
It's not a design change tho- it's animation and drawing improvement.

[Longleg Larry]

All that’s different is he lost his hat. Which is a bit unfair...

Luffy got to keep his hat at his execution

 

[Olimaat]

Because he was going to be executed

@Trismegistus

This time the improvement was not needed :S I miss Alabasta Ace

But I understand Oda's story for such choice, I can't condemn it

Why did Oda do this

Ace was 20 years old when he died, while in the first picture you posted he looks almost 30 years old

Not that I don't like his old design, but the one used in MF is more consistent with his age
