Baal posted:I think Skypiea's okay, but that's probably just because I have a really high opinion of Eneru as an antagonist and the climax of it is loving amazing. It does really drag out though and overstays its welcome, but I think for what short time Eneru is there makes up for it. I'm gonna let your opinions on Marinefold slide because Eneru really was one of the best villains. As a reader it kills me that nobody else but luffy and the handful that makes up his crew knows that he took out the most overpowered devil fruit ability user ever. Admiral Kizaru is just a watered-down Enel, let's be honest here.

TheFallenEvincar posted:Yeah, I love 'em both though. Kizaru's just got such a fun personality/style. You could say Enel's like one of the only One Piece villains to actually accomplish his goal, right? I mean, he made it to the Moon. It's just that he happened to be a psychopath and add other extra goals like "kill loving everyone and destroy Skypiea while I do it". Pretty much, yeah. I still think that whole moon base of operations with the robots is gonna bounce back into the plot somehow. I'd go so far as to say it might be tied in to the superweapon Uranus, which wasn't even mentioned as a thing till the end of Fishman Island but i'm not holding my breath here.

Tolth posted:I suspect you get a free pass when said pirate later charges into a fight with your entire leadership structure and makes it out unscathed. Yeah but Lucchi was already there in disguise before Luffy started laying the beatdown on Doffy and the gang. Given how Aikanu was spitting hot fire over the new admiral apologizing to the country, it's hard for me to buy that Aikanu would let that slide, even with Lucchi/Aikanu's practice of 'Dark Justice'. There's definitely more to the story here, I figure it's got something to do with the Elder Stars or whatever they're called forcing their hand despite his objections. On another story beat! Doffy's wrapped up in chains, pegged to the floor monitored by that 'give-no-fucks' lady marine and he's still delivering those trademark warped philosophical speeches? Stay golden flamingo, never change that spirit

"d[-.- posted:b" post="450643363"] Don't bet on it Shiki is a movie exclusive villain that had a throwaway line in one panel outside of chapter 0 to help promote the 10 (?) year anniversary film. He had his time in the sun, got chumped at the end, he's out of the picture for good.

Gyges posted:Brook is the only one to turn down fame and fortune so that he can go pirate with some kids young enough to be his great grand kids. And also go see a whale. I wouldn't say 'turn down' so much as given up. 'Turning down' implies that he walked away before he got famous, whereas he was already famous from his two-year music tour and then just lost interest.

Crazyeyes posted:He pushed out the abstract notion of "exhaustion" and "pain" from Luffy's body so... yes. Nah, he's only as 'broken' as every other Warlord out there; he's a monster in a fight but not untouchable. Every Warlord has that 'Ace in the Hole' move that makes them seem horribly broken/unbalanced in the grand scheme of things; Kuma had that massive air pressure nuke, Crocodile has his dryness 'Touch of Death', Doffy has his Birdcage. They're all designed to make them seem like an unstoppable force of nature only to be overcome in the end. So I mean, yeah, Kuma has some overpowered abilities, but there are a fair chunk of dudes out there that have skills that outrank his spectrum of powers, so I wouldn't say he's the dude with the biggest DF dick on the Grand Line.

I mean he's called 'The Strongest Creature Alive' while Whiteboard was known as the Strongest Man in the World. That's gotta be a big shoe-in for a fruit ability, Oda loves cramming in clues any chance he gets.

Amorphous Blob posted:We can agree that unstoppable bird cage attacks are dumb, right? While I'm at it, Law cutting the mountain in half was also a load of BULLSHIT and Vergo was a great Strong Man fighter. If it weren't for the birdcage every single person who was a toy would have hiked it out of Dressrosa the minute they changed back. It's sort of a moot point to complain about really because it's so integral to how he kept things from falling apart as his ultimate failsafe

F. Lobot posted:No one should win against a guy with unbreakable birdcage powers. Just make a small birdcage around Luffy and he's done. Oda didn't think it through. You really think he could birdcage a fast moving target? It's only use is wide area containment, it'd be too difficult on small spaces

QuantaStarFire posted:I'm not sure I'd care at this point. Sanji's become kind of gross over the years. He was really cringeworthy in Film Z in particular. He's past the point of redemption I'm afraid. This is the man who had a nosebleed so violent it could have filled an entire hospital wing's worth of blood drive donations. Not from a kick in the face from a fight or something manly, just from being a general perv at Fishman Island with a rude pair of titties in his face, and it became an actual plot point in the story arc. The days of Mr. Prince are long gone

I'm wondering what the hell Ceasar's purpose is gonna be for the rest of this arc. I thought for sure he'd end up getting ditched one way or another somewhere in Dressrosa or captured by Big Mom so the Straw Hats could escape, but I didn't expect him to outlast Doflamingo of all things What's your end game here Oda, color me curious

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:God drat, Sabo must've done a loving number of Jesus if he only just managed to wake up now. I mean, the ease in which Sabo dominated against Jesus really knocks down the supposed power of the BB pirates a peg. Granted, they probably have tricks up their sleeves. But still. It's not too hard to believe when you really think about it; Sabo is Dragon's number 2 in command, who was doing just fine in the New World without his snazzy new Logia fruit abilities. Did you see how he took out that entire arena with a single shot? Dude hits like a locomotive, adding one of the strongest OP abilities on top of that is just cruel.

Bad Seafood posted:It's actually been long enough that I don't even remember what any of my particular problems with Skypiea were, just that I recall generally disliking it. I think it's just mainly cause of the length to be honest. I know you already mentioned it but it bears repeating cause it's always been the biggest flaw of the arc. This was Oda's second Large Scale Story Arc; unlike Alabasta, it didn't have the momentum carrying into it from any previous islands that helped culminate into an epic showdown at the final island stop. I feel like that went a long ways towards setting up the pacing of that arc since we got enough breaks in between to get a general investment in Vivi and her plight, as well as flesh out the crew a bit more past the East Blue introduction. Skypeia had none of that; it basically had to build everything lock, stock and barrel from the ground up, with only Jaya offering as the set up. That's tough for any writer to handle, especially since the mythical nature of Sky Island itself had little bearing on the overall plot of the world politics, which seem to be what determines what's deemed a 'good' arc or not by fan consensus. It was more of a learning experience for Oda than anything I feel, and I'd say it was because of those pacing mistakes he made in Skypeia that greatly affected how the pacing and stakes of the next arc were handled. I look at Skypeia as a stop that answered the call of the general weirdness that the Grand Line promised us back in the East Blue days when everything was exaggerated to legendary status via word-of-mouth and rumors of all the crazy poo poo that goes on over there, spoken by people who had never visited the Line and weren't going to anytime soon.
