Went to a cable store today and the clerk and a customer were arguing over Shanks/Zoro power levels. OP really is taking off :,)

Meaningless discussion; Zoro is a swordsman and Shanks is a hakiman

Zoro would never fight Shanks for the same reason as Mihawk, a one-armed swordsman doesn't stand a chance against a 6-armed swordsman with 9 swords or a guy with a Big Sword. Why isn't Enma huge? Oden was huge and it looked normal on him so it should be huge on Zoro. Oden was over twice as tall as Zoro, who is 5'11 to Oden's 12 foot 6  but Enma is the same size as Zoro's other swords. It would be pretty funny if Zoro just had 1 huge sword and 2 normal sized ones.Look at that thing, it would have to be like 6 feet long

It's a normal sized sword but making it bigger like Oden did is a standard haki use for sword wielders.

Bisse posted:Oda himself said (somewhere iirc) the original loose plan was a 5-year manga that ended after Alabasta. They would have found the One Piece after bonking croc on the nose. It grew from there after getting successful. he said in 2006 (in the vol 42 sbs) that he originally planned for the manga to last 5 years, and also that he's had the climax of the manga planned from the very start. obviously that was 17 years ago so his plans probably have changed to some degree, but i would expect most of his broad strokes of his intended ending are still planned. he didn't say anything about it being planned to end after alabasta - that's just people incorrectly inferring from the quote, since alabasta ended about 5 years into the manga. in 2017 he then repeated that it was originally planned to last 5 years and explained that the shichibukai weren't part of the original plan, just the yonkou. he's also mentioned that wano was one arc that he had the idea for from the very start. https://twitter.com/sandman_AP/status/900782874021974016 i doubt it would have ended after 5 years even with his original plan, just because he's generally underestimated how long arcs will take him to finish (see: all his predictions for when one piece will end)

In a world where One Piece only lasts 5 years, Oda almost certainly wouldn't have free reign to do whatever he wanted and there would be editorial tension over arc lengths. So Wano and every other arc wouldn't balloon up to multi-year events. Also lots of the off the cuff character additions, like the Supernovas wouldn't have come about. You could probably tell all of One Piece in 5ish years, but the world would feel way less expansive and we'd probably barely be touching the history of the world. Not to mention the untold destruction and diversion of whoever his editor was sticking their fingers into the pie of a story that isn't a historic hit that's making everyone fat stacks of cash.

Do you think Oda would have moved on to that mecha series he wanted to do or would he have gone more the Post-Dragonball Toriyama route and done one-shots from there on out?

i'd assume the original idea for wano wouldn't have been anywhere near as bloated, only similar in scope to alabasta at most, and it's not like oda has every detail of arcs planned out beforehand. i think he's said his general approach is that he has some key plot points planned out and some ideas for cool scenes that he wants to make happen, but doesn't plan out the details of each arc too tightly in advance? which is probably part of why post-timeskip arcs have often ended up bloated the original scope of the story was probably something like east blue -> two arcs (one of which would have been wano) where the straw hats defeat the first two emperors -> final arc where they race to get one piece against the last two emperors, ideas from which we are finally starting to see in the story now.

I’m kinda curious what the power scaling would look like if OP Only went for five years, like would we have Zoro cutting up a kaiju golem like it was made of hot butter, Garp’s full power punches being WMDs, or everyone for real enough having some bootleg version of the Navy’s infinite double jump move?

Gonna be slightly concerned if we get anything out of him after One Piece, the man needs to take a long, long, rest and find someone who can emulate his art style if he wants a mecha series like Toriyama did imho.

Paper Lion posted:framing the kuma running page the way oda did with his parents sending him off into the world, the way he huffs and puffs and gets more tired but keeps going as he meets more people, and the specific "frame" of his run that oda chooses mirroring the nika dance, juxtaposing his faith in nika and the ideals he represents with the way he chooses to move through life and impact others. the direct visual line drawn between the tiring exertion of sprinting for your life and what you believe in with the the only known action of your god, turning every bond he made into almost a form of transubstantiationist communion. its so incredible. i cried when i read it and im crying again thinking about it Odda is really is using the arch to show that he's a master of his craft.

There have been 11 shichibukai and almost half of them have really barely mattered for the overall plot (Mihawk, Hancock, Weevil, Moria) Oh, and whatever that clown dude's name was.

Weevil is the only one I'd say hasn't done a whole lot just cause it feels like they were setting him up to hunt down Luffy but then he ran into Green Bull and I guess that's it.
