Current Events Why do people hate Bonney’s Nika form so much?

[MonsterKaido]

If you don't like luffy/nika which is understandable , you won't like nika 2.0 either.

Also that to some it cheapens the efforts and time it took for luffy to awaken G5 which is supposed to be a legendary transformation and big change only for Bonney to awaken it instantly.

Personally I don't have any issues with it. I am a sucker for strong female characters and yes Bonney using G5 had built-up.

 

[Punishhh]

I think it's just overwhelming focus on Nika, same as the overwhelming focus on Oden in Wano

Bonney wants to see Nika, Kuma wants to see nika, giants worship nika, Robot worships nika, luffy uses nika form 4 times in one arc, Bonney turns into Nika.

Everyone has a tolerance level and with this chapter many reached it

Pretty much this.
It overshadows characters that were build up for decades, and their presence in arcs are reduced at most to ''cool moments''.
For example what was the point of adding Jinbe to the crew ? I don't like when people use this term in real life, but he's a DEI hire for the Straw Hats pirates.

Why not

 

[Akai2]

Bonney looks cool in her Nika form, and it's obviously a really risky decision if Oda's really going to give her the full Nika powers with reality manipulation, haki, etc. I just can't see that happening, which is why I believe some of the negative reactions are jumping the gun. Her form is likely how Nika would appear in a child's imagination, so her power will still be governed by her own limitations. She won't be able to stretch or turn surroundings into rubber like Luffy. I don't think she's broken to the point that she can imagine a Law like future for example, then start doing OP OP techniques lol

You have to remember that her powers will get worse as she grows older and learns about ontological restrictions of the OP world. As a child, her faith in what is ontologically possible is much more expansive than what is actually possible. So, while I obviously see that giving the main character's ultimate awakening to a 12 year old girl is a bad decision, I'm holding judgment until we see the full extent of her abilities. I don't think it'll go beyond looking like Nika and performing a couple of gigantification and stretching moves.

Thematically, I'm really happy with Luffy's continually pulling out the best of up and comers like Bonney, Momo, etc...

Yamato's journey is a nice consolation after she didn't join the crew. This cover story has the potential to tie up a few loose ends that were abandoned at the end of Onigashima.

Glad the Iron Giant's role isn't over yet, and I wonder if we'll get a glimpse into his past with Joy Boy here. I bet it will be saved for the void century flashback along with the rest of Vegapunk's speech.

The Gorosei look mean as hell. I'm really happy with how they've been portrayed in Egghead. An aura of genuine threat, and I'm hoping Luffy gets to properly fight them (Please vs Saturn!)

Overall, this chapter leaves a lot to look forward to next week, and I'm sure as shit happy there isn't a break lol

 

[Punishhh]

She obviously won't have Luffy's haki, but she'll definitely have all the Nika powers. This is not just some reskin of a character.

Well I hope not. If Bonney is just another Nika then my career here is finished

What's the point of giving your MC a rare legendary awakening when another character can also have it?

 

[L57]

Goofy is annoying add another goofy makes it even worse
2 shit characters

 

[zenox]

Cause it cheapens nika which it should
Luffytards are mad

 

[K!NG HARA$H!MA]

I really don’t get it. Oda clearly foreshadowed this happening earlier in the arc

You know there's a thing called hatred by proxy



They hate Nika, by extension that hatred is directed towards Bonney who also become Nika

Bonney is a shit character,irrelevant that keeps taking away screen time from the sh
Another yamato

Kuma couldve been interesting tho,but he was reduced to a nika stan
2 mid characters

 

[Wano Never Happened]

I think more generally it irks me that we've come to a point in the story where the Straw Hats are facing off against the 5 fucking Gorosei, and all we get from them is the occasional, "oh look it's one of the Gorosei." Instead of them actually being characters (maybe even the protagonists!) in the story we get asspull Nika 2.0 from an irrelevant side character.

I'm numb to the random nonsense at this point, like sure yeah Bonney can do this, fine, but the Straw Hats still haven't even remotely engaged with the idea of Nika on more than a surface level, and we're already seeing a second Nika.

It doesn't make sense to obsessively hate mid characters


When characters are really good = You love them


When they are really bad = you hate them


When they are mid = you should just just feel indifferent/ don't care about them

 

[MonochromeYoru]

People hate Nika period.

So adding a second nika means the second one gets a lot of hate too.

It does makes sense when you see them taking the spotlight meanwhile the main cast gets 0 spotlight

Just because bullshit was foreshadowed doesn't make bullshit any less bullshit.

 

[Kurozumi Wiwi]

People are sick of Nika, one is tiresome enough already.

 

[park_min young]

It’s actually just the Nika saturation. Thematically, Bonney transforming into Nika checks out though. The writings of it happening were also written all over the walls. It’s just kind of mid that Nika is being shoved down our throats, people are probably sick of hearing Nika this and Nika that.

 

[S.W317]

It breaks my top female powerscaling agenda of;

1. Big Mom
2. Boa Hancock
3. Yamato

And I wanted EOS Robin and Nami to be stronger than no. 2 and 3 at least but now Bonney is making a mess of this

 

[Poorsalino Cooker]

I don't care about powerscaling bullshit, the problem is I already couldn't stand Nika.

Its bad enough that Luffy became a vessel for the first ninja ever, the Sage of the Six Paths the first pirate ever, Captain Joyboy, then retcon his fruit into a zoan despite functioning nothing like a zoan just so Oda can do more chosen one bs, but then he has to go and make Nika's form Luffy's most frequently used gear and method of attack. If it were at least something that he could only use once in a full moon or when in near-death, it would at least be a little tolerable. And all the retcon did was make the Gorosei look like idiots for not taking direct action when their most wanted fruit was running around freely in East Blue when they could've easily nabbed it.

To make matters worse, now there's two of them!

Well I came back home I saw a steaming pile of shit.... And the next day that steaming of pile shit encouraged others and now I have double the steaming pile shit...
