my issue is that we're getting a ton of fights in a row, but instead of swapping between them we're strongly progressing one and then going to the next, all in sequence even if it's in-story happening simultaneously, it reads as though the cast is patiently waiting their turns and it robs a lot of the tension from the final battle you can contrast to, say, one piece, which has an even more elaborate cast: Oda often does all his fights simultaneously, swapping between them within chapters and switching focus constantly (with some extra focus on the main fight)

not very interested in the outcome here because likely it's going to somehow relate to Deku's quirk ghosts, given the last page, and I just don't think that's ever been an interesting element, but I'm definitely a grump and curmudgeon, so.

I think this chapter is fine, I'm just tired of All for One. His narrative purpose has long since fulfilled and even this chapter coulda been his final end. You're not the main antagonist anymore! Begone, wannabe!

Considering how often the OP thread complaints about the pacing of arcs going on long or the rapidly switch between things just to make sure you know hey it's here we odnt have a real update but its still going okay now on to the next one, and how post-time skip (post enis lobby, really) that fights in general have taken a back burner (Wano is legitimately the first time all crewmembers squaring off into full fights and not just a handful and not jsut for extremely brief snippets in a long, long time) i'm not surprised that people have problems with post-time skip One Piece, evne before looking at non-fight stuff people might have issue with

cool kids inc. posted:Bakugo's costume is a good bit different with the gauntlets lookin like #2's. still wondering when/how this will be addressed, since based on this detail the visual similarity between the two does seem like something that remains relevant, though I have a hard time imagining what you could do with it at this late hour beyond surprise a distant bakugo relative was the second OFA.

"Okay, you'd like to see whichever characters you like doing stuff and getting personal arcs? What if I created a whole new character to write my way out of making the main villain a bit too strong? That sound good?" Fabricated fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Jun 26, 2022 |

The worst thing I'm willing to say about current One Piece is that the latest arc might not be my literal #1 favorite in the series, but that's just because Enies Lobby is one of my favorite arcs of anything, period. It's also the only thing I'll say because I don't want to drag this out talking about a different manga.

Fabricated posted:Nah, post time skip One Piece is largely bad and Oda's panelling has been borderline incomprehensible on a semi-regular basis. The coolest part about Wano is that it's ending. sincerely disagree on the panelling, it's technically at an insane level, and wano has a good number of my favorite panels and artwork in the whole series FI to Dressrosa was weaker than what preceded it but zou afterward is the peak of the series thus far. i don't know what you mean about gear 5 confirming that oda's winging anything. i think your viewpoint is purely nuts, we've had probably the strongest material in the manga for years in a row now. it's close to a perfect manga

"Big sacrificial moment" plus the dialogue from the previous pages suggests he's going to wipe either Endeavor (or everyone in vicinity) of their Quirks.

I dunno, it seems like he's rewinding since he got an ear and an eye back seemingly- both things he hasn't had since All Might punched his torso off years ago.

It looks like a visual representation that he's using some form of rewind, but that speech would feel really out of place if he's basically just casting curaga on himself.

I guess I read the eye being exposed as the scar tissue burning away from Prominence Burn. The "krakk" sound effect seems to suggest that his body is splitting apart?

Fabricated posted:We'll never know but I still wanna know what the gently caress All Might did and how AFO survived it- because the implication seemed to be to me that All Might literally just punched his loving head off and he didn't have super-regneration at the time (and it didn't help when he got it later, because he had somehow recovered and Ultra Regen doesn't heal already-healed injuries). As far as we can tell AfO ripped All Might's guts out mid charge and All Might used that moment to smash the top of AfO's skull into paste. Hence the damage is pretty central to the above the nose area and why he thought it was fatal, AfO likely had his brains all over the floor and survived by sheer miracle.

Knowing AFO, his idea of a sacrifice could be rewinding himself to back when he only had a handful of quirks. This could be a case of an ambiguous translation as well.

Fabricated posted:It's basically one of the last mega long runners next to Conan and Hajime no Ippo. This isn't really saying much considering that the "perfect" part of it was like a decade ago. I know everyone doesn't want to admit it for some reason but sorry, basically from Fishman Island on One Piece is pretty far off its height. Like Gear 5 was probably the only part of Wano that was legitimately interesting and that's just because it was fun- writing wise it was basically confirmation Oda wings it as much as any other mangaka has ever admitted to (not that it's wrong- probably a lot of strong material came from it, but "Oda did it again!!" people are dumb). I feel like for some people, One Piece's art style is viewed as uniquely charming in such a way that everything is seen as inherently great/special. Well, that + it just being a thing that people repeat a lot. (It's also baffling to me that anyone could consider One Piece the best/perfect shounen when HxH exists)

Guess: AfO successfully rewinds himself to peak power and health, but since he has a fake version of his quirk instead of the real one, the spirits attached to all the quirks he stole rise up and tear him apart from the inside out

Know what the real cool part is? There's still an entire DekuxShigaraki fight after this. Also just chalk me up as another person who's just really disappointed by this last arc. It's not uniquely bad or anything, it's just suffering from the usual poo poo that big, popular, shonen finales suffer from. Bleach, Naruto, even Dragon Ball Z. It's going to be hilarious to see these same complaints repeated about whatever bullshit Luffy fights in the final stages of One Piece.

He's rewinding himself, and since the only way we've ever known the rewind quirk to stop is by way of Eraserhead or Overhaul, I'm assuming he doesn't have a way to stop it either - it's the only way to explain why he wouldn't have used it sooner to try and mend himself. He's gonna put on some huge display that essentially amounts to a preview of what Shigaraki will be when he bodyjacks him before burning out. We'll be complaining about All for One butting into Shigaraki's fight next.
