jassa posted:My headcanon is the average person in One Piece is extremely durable, and can take a ton of blunt force or concussive damage. Makes it so much easier to roll with all the non-deaths throughout the series. The only punches that actually hurt are ones of love, and that's why most of the fights aren't actually that lethal. Gives some really weird implications to the ones that were lethal, though.

Clearly we’ve been wrong about Akainu all this time. He’s filled with boundless love of all humanity, it’s just tough love.

I think that when the Blackbeard vs strawhat fight occurs we will have Zoro and Tashigi fighting Shiryu, who will invisibly push Tashigi down the stairs but Zoro will catch her.

Tashigi asks why he bothered, since a minor thing like falling down the stairs wouldn't hurt at all!

Nuebot posted:Then why'd she die consider the following the gorosei represent the highest level of authority in the one piece universe. they embody stagnancy and the crushing of dreams through despair. Imu, who stands even above them, erases people based on a moment's judgement, suddenly and dispassionately. He sits on a throne that is meant to empty. And what is in front of that throne? That's right, a big-rear end set of stairs.

At this point I really and truly would not be surprised if the Elder Stars kicked Kuina down the stairs. Not because it served some master plan, but just because they’re that petty and meanspirited.

Oda needed to fridge her, but didn't want to draw a child's death scene in his brand new pirate manga for kids. So he had it happen off-panel, not realising that would seem more suspicious to many of his older readers. That said, he only has himself to blame for throwing more fuel on that fire with the whole Tashigi thing.

Eiba posted:There's gotta still be a payoff for Tashigi, right? It's been literal decades and after quite a few Tashigi appearances we don't have a single hint at it being anything but kind of an odd coincidence to make Zoro kind of uncomfortable. I feel like there should be more to it than that. It would be cool if there was, but like, Tashigi was losing to Monet, and not even losing because she’s a dumb person like Luffy that opened himself wide open for the L. there’s no chance she’ll get a payoff, she kinda got left in the dust when she saw Zoro not even really trying and went “what the gently caress…he did that without haki…how much training did they do to get this strong”. And then kind of later again when Koby did a huge flex and all he did was tirelessly train night and day.

Eiba posted:Fair, but I said "often" for a reason. If you said "manga physics," you wouldn't necessarily expect someone to survive a punch onto another island. There's a lot of variety and even some ridiculous ones have pretty grounded violence so it would depend on the type of manga. If you said "cartoon physics" you could be sure they'd survive. Like, I am kinda alright with Kuina dying because of the stairs, because sometimes people do just die tragically to accidents and their friends are left with only their absence. That’s a valid life experience and something more media should delve into, even in stories like one piece where there are people in the world who get hit by trains twice a week and walk it off. On the other hand, this is ALL tied into the gender dynamics that they introduce with Zoro and Kuina, and seems to only ever come up again around Zoro. Like, yeah Sanji is weird about women, but that’s only ever portrayed as Sanji’s problem. Meanwhile, every time Zoro runs into Tashigi, we revisit the notion that the ceiling for swordswomen doesn’t rise as high as the ceiling for swordsmen. Yet, it is left unresolved. And it isn’t like we haven’t met incredibly powerful swordswomen around. Or women in general. Like, where the hell is Oda going with this?

I feel like there should be more to it than that. I wouldn't mind a Sabo style bout of amnesia, cured in the final arc. It would be kind of funny if Tashigi's extremely mid swordsmanship lead to her being kicked down some stairs and then reawakening at the bottom. When she went down the stairs her dream was to collect swords, when she came back up her dream was to use them. Dream awoken she can finally fight at top level.

Linlin is a pretty strong swordswoman. With Napoleon but no other Soul Soul-derived powers, I think she would probably win against current Zoro.

Tashigi as a psudo-rival for Zoro was likely never supposed to happen anyway. She lost to him immediately in Loguetown and it flat out wouldn't make sense for her to somehow catch up and then also keep pace with him as he was training like a drat madman and fighting incredibly tough opponents, much less when he studied directly under Mihawk. Smoker's a little different, as he started out flat out being unaffected by Luffy thanks to his logia powers, but obviously Luffy has since rocketed way ahead since then.
