Powers & Abilities Would it really have been so hard for Oda to let Big Mom do this?

Its the fault of the damn rooftop. Oda needed Luffy to look the strongest on the rooftop, but also needed him to get low diffed by kaido. And this destroys powerscaling, because it essentially makes big mom look far weaker than kaido.

the power-scaling would have been so much more consistent if Kid and Law had some form of advanced haki, or if the duo could casually use their awakenings like katakuri could. But Oda couldn't have them walk into onigashima with these power ups, because then luffy would look bad on the roof. But he also couldn't just give it to them after the roof because it would be inconsistent. So he gave them powerful awakenings, but it has a big side effect in order to explain why it wasn't used on the roof.

If Kid and Law at the very least didn't have massive side effects to their awakenings:
  • their 3 billion berry bounties might actually make sense(albeit Luffy's would still be too low imo)
  • Big Mom wouldn't need to be needlessly nerfed
  • the fight might actually be good and make sense
  • Kid and Law might actually be Luffy's rivals.
But instead we get a tell, don't show approach. We are told Kid and Law are Luffy's rivals, we are told Big Mom is equal to kaido, we are told that Kid and Law 2v1ed big mom, but we never actually get to see it. We never see Big Mom even remotely equal kaido outside of them splitting the sky once, and we never see Kid and Law actually have to deal with big mom's powers.
That’s why he is LoLda, because he is a retarded person with an IQ of a 10 years old, how the fuck can a story that you wrote take control of you

Basically you’re Calling a writer whose work is read by tens of millions throughout the world incompetent because he didn’t fulfill some specific expectations of yours regarding a specific character…
Whining and being emotional over some unfulfilled fantasies and slandering a person for that with terms as “incompetent”: beyond pathetic and childish.
I wouldn't use the tens of millions throughout the world as an argument to be honnest.
Because a work (movie, comics, series, manga) doesn't need good plot to be very successful in the world nowadays.

So you know how Big Mom's ultimate homie combination is combining lightning and fire to create this plasma thing she wields with her sword?


And you know how Linlin is able to make prometheus and Hera massive?


Well then, why is it that whenever big mom uses her ultimate homie combination, it's always this pacifista like laser beam or Misery, an attack that looks visually worse than King's fire dragon thing, and not something comparable to this:

I don't get it. Just looking at what prometheus and hera are capable of at max power just by themselves, combined they should easily be capable of performing an island level attack. The fact that its been said over and over that Linlin is comparable to kaido is just proof of this. Yet instead of something rivaling kaido's flaming dragon, we got this:

And then you wonder why people think Linlin is the weakest top tier. She is the only one that Oda gives this level of treatment to. She is coincidentally the only one who is a woman. I don't mean to be that guy, but sexist much? Out of all the top tiers the one woman is coincidentally the only one who is portrayed a clown for absolutely no reason. Its not that she is weak, because as I said, she should easily be capable of doing something like this. But the plot for whatever reason never allows her to do it.
And I don't know why? Why make Kid and Law fight her and beat her and give them 3 billion berry bounties if you aren't even going to let big mom use her full strength or even do anything resembling a top tier? This man literally has big mom throwing metal and fucking traced the same panel of her standing in front of kid and law in like 3 chapters, but couldn't bother showing her use ACoC even once(apart from maybe 1040).

This is why people say Oda is out of his prime. Because literally any other competent author could write this character better. I don't even think this has anything to do with powerlevels, because you could easily write big mom looking like a top tier and still have kid and law countering her and it make sense. Like, for example; what the fuck ever happened to Law's ability to create barriers?

remember this move he used against kaido?

And whatever happened to that giant sword in onigashima that was utterly pointless at the end of the arc? You really couldn't have Kid and/or Law use it in any fashion? You couldn't have them multiply their powerlevels by doing some sort of combination move(like what kaido and BM did with hakai)?

Honestly, I think Oda was just cutting corners and being lazy. It would have taken an extra chapter to draw Linlin using a massive attack and the supernova countering it, so what do you do? Just make linlin look awful.
It doesn't matter. Its not like linlin is an emperor or anything. Its not like her defeat is one of the most important events in one piece or anything. Its not like wano has literally been hyped since punk hazard or anything.

I truly despise the fact that people wank Oda so hard despite him doing the bare minimum
Lolda is a fraud, plain and simple.

The reason Big Mom didn't use a bigger attack was because she was inside the island. Even if she is fucking nuts, she's somewhat rational when she's not hungry: Big Mom isn't going to intentionally blow up the island owned by her "little brother", who she just formed an alliance with. That's why the AOE was way smaller. Think of it as a tactical nuke compared to a regular one: still a nuke.

Big Mom is far from gone, too. Once she wakes up/get's hungry enough (it's been a week since she fell in the hole, the last time she didn't eat for a week she wrecked Elbaf), she'll return to crash the party.

Big Mom can turns forces of nature into living entities (Homies). Where is Big Mom? In a volcano. Mamamamamama

Complaints about Oda are always in Power scarling. But it's past time they realized he's getting bad at just about everything. He only manages to develop Luffy. And how can we call One Piece a very creative work, when all the arcs are copy and paste the same shit plot to save island from the evil villain? Oda is bad even at writing stories, he can't come up with a story other than copy and paste.

Luffy is only developed in Power scarling too, there was only one time that the character really "matured" which was when he realized he was weak after losing Ace, but that didn't mean anything. Luffy doesn't learn anything, doesn't mature, doesn't increase his intelligence and interest in things other than playing, doesn't have an iota of change in his personality. He's still the same idiot from chapter 1.

Visuals and narrative >>> powerscaling every single time.

BM vs. Law and Kidd was a battle of DFs, Kaido and Luffy was a battle of haki. Both DF and haki was used in each battle but there was preference towards one.

If you switched the matchups from Luffy vs. BM and Kidd/Law vs. Kaido, I almost guarantee you that the preferences would be reversed. BM would be showing off her haki more, Kaido his DF more.

Just look at Luffy's most recent battles. Cracker, Katakuri, O-Lin, even Ulti, they all had major haki implications, Cracker's haki was stated to be insanely powerful and Ulti herself got an amazing haki feat from just fighting with Luffy.

you can suck Oda's cock all you want. It's bad writing.

Big Mom was set up to be a major villain ever since fishman island. Big Mom's fight and defeat are the payoff for all the build up she has as an antagonist. Fishman island, dressrosa, WCI, all for her to be defeated in an absolutely horribly written fight.

Giving BM so much build up just for Oda to fumble her defeat is shit writing. People will call it out when naruto does it. People will call it out when Fairy Tail does it. But when Oda does it, 90% of the fanbase just sucks his cock and pretends like its peak fiction.

This is utterly incoherent.

Oda portrayed ACoC as this massive insurmountable power when kaido wielded it against Luffy, but its seemingly irrelevant in big mom vs kid and law.
