Dr Subterfuge posted:To be fair Kuina's death is exactly the kind of thing a cape comic wouldn't be able to leave alone either. that's because cape comics have a revolving door on authors and characters are influenced not just by their main author, but by the authors of other series that want to use that character for something too it's impossible for anything to stick 100% because every person writing has an at least slightly different take on any series they're working on

There's certainly a lot of current One Piece coloring my view of Kuina's death, I guess because both the abilities of characters and wild story developments make falling down stairs not really fit into what I consider the One Piece mold, which has me grasping for something that would make it seem to fit in. Ultimately I just need to remember that's a super long time ago from very early on. Someone also mentioned cape comics, and as fan of those there was some of my "nobody stays dead in comics" mind at work there too.

Their side manga has uncomfortable depictions of child nudity, and a bunch of idiots tripped over themselves to defend the child nudity in awful ways that wound up painting themselves as pedophiles, even if that wasn't the case.

Personally I've never had a problem with Kuina taking a dive to build up the power of stairs. I'm just waiting for Tashigi looking exactly like her to actually have any meaning other than being why Zoro doesn't treat her like any other sword wielding foe.

Tashigi looking like Kuina is just a coincidence. Like, in Rogue Town the resemblance mainly serves the role of just being another reminder of his past for his small arc of getting new swords and learning how rare Kuina's blade was. But afterwards I don't think there's any real meaning to it beyond just providing a reason Zoro doesn't want to fight her but by Punk Hazard even that's been dropped.

Tashigi looking exactly like Kuina is like the most interesting thing that's ever happened with Zoro... it's inexplicable, no one else could see how strange it was and it probably means nothing. It's this tiny tiny thing that everyone remembers.

SyntheticPolygon posted:Tashigi looking like Kuina is just a coincidence. Jesus Christ that Punk Hazard poo poo was insufferable. Literally all I needed was Tashigi to think Zoro was being sexist and didn't want to hurt women, and Zoro to say "lol no I don't care." and then cut Monet down. Instead, we have to have him say some stupid line about "There are some things I would prefer not to cut." Cause you can't hurt a woman, Zoro! You need to protect them  Am I misremembering that scene, or was it really that horrible?

Zoro doesn’t want to hurt women but he will if he has to. However he still doesn’t kill Monet because she and Tashigi are useless weaklings that are beneath him. Punk Hazard is easily the worst arc in the comic.

I liked the Monet fight. She did cool things with snow & ice picks and her completely falling apart from fear and unable to put herself back together until tashigi stabbed her was a fun twist Nami & Robin got to throw a few tricks at her too The tashigi stuff's always going to be kind of lame in the best of cases, though

I recently re-read Punk Hazard for the first time and I struggle to understand the point of Zoro's fight. Tashigi was completely right in that, from her perspective, Zoro doesn't want to cut down women. Which is antithetical to Zoro as a character. The idea of freaking out a logia so much they can't even reconstitute is cool, but it defeats the purpose of the fight.

The idea is that it’s not that Zoro’s sexist it’s that he doesn’t need to fight Monet because she is so weak he beats her by only pretending to cut her.

Just out of curiosity, what do people rate as their best and worst arcs of One Piece as a whole? I'd say for me that Marineford is the best while Fishman Island is the worst. Marineford had blow after blow of awesome moments and reveals - especially the upset of actually killing off a major character after making it a rule that nobody dies outside of a flashback - while Fishman Island was kind of underwhelming after literally years of anticipation and hype. The subversive commentary on prejudice and racial hatred was still pretty great, though.

Professorjuggalo posted:remember back at the end of PH and people wanted monet and caesar to join the straw hats? dark times In Monet's case it was implied that she was a double agent, as Chopper found a note telling him to stay put or something, followed by a panel of Monet knowingly glancing to the side. Then the note was never mentioned again and she got murdered hard. Caesar was an obvious choice for crew member and it is criminal that he never joined.

Online and in fan communities the three arcs I usually see people pick as their favorite are Water 7/Enis Lobby, Sabaody Archipelago, and Marineford. As for me, it's definitely Water 7/Enis Lobby. It's arguably the crew at their lowest point, with the most emotional tension and earned drama that the comic had been building towards for years by that point, one of the few arcs that has actual character development for the straw hat crew, especially Usopp, had a really intimidating enemy force that was quite unlike what had come before with a whole new system of powers, had some really good humor and classic moments like Zoro cutting the sea train, Franky vs. Nero, and "I want to live", as well as reframing how the reader saw the world of One Piece and the actions of the World Government. As for the low point: SyntheticPolygon posted:Punk Hazard is easily the worst arc in the comic. This. Despite the setting itself being cool, it really dragged on for too long as I read it, there isn't much action in it that's worthwhile, and I didn't like most of the new characters introduced/reintroduced. And if you watch the anime version, it's even slower with the few good jokes it had being ruined by stretching them out, and making Luffy have to beam struggle against caesar clown instead of easily finishing off, which kind of portrays CC as being a lot stronger than he is and Luffy being a lot weaker than he is.

I've always been fond of the Jaya/Skypeia arc, it has a great feeling of adventure and wonder, although I agree that Water 7 and Marineford are probably the best ones.

I can't see the straw hats looking past Anime Mengele's horrible crimes and total lack of redeeming qualities. He was a fun hostage though. Gangster Gastino, on the other hand... that guy was cool and as far as I can tell, totally unproblematic.
