bird cage, in the long-term, exists to justify gear 4 being used in the arc so it can be established right before luffy starts targeting yonkou.

mabels big day posted:I loved fishman island idk what you guys are talking about It's reverse mountain with more foreshadowing (due to what was about to happen), so people attributed a shitload more meaning to the location than was ever intended for it and got upset when it turned out to just be the gateway to bigger poo poo that it was always meant to be. Arc had a couple of issues but was largely fun.

Gear 4 was used because Bird Cage was going to start killing people within 30 minutes. That's it. Luffy essentially just went the overkill route instead of getting sucked into another Lucci-style fight where he and Doffy just beat the loving piss out of each other until one of them drops.

For some reason I ended up associating Katakuri's lines in that reveal page with the voice of the Turtlez from Tales of Berseria when I got to it. It was beautiful.

Night Guy owned (especially in UNS4) and if Kaguya was a thing that was going to happen then Madara getting wrecked by it should have been the impetus for her appearance. It being a big fat nothing instead was just such a disappointment.

U-DO Burger posted:I'm fine with Luffy struggling to take down Katakuri. The guy's one of the strongest pirates in the world, and this shows that Luffy's strong, but he's not quite there yet. Yeah, this is basically what I settled on - though I like what someone mentioned earlier about this being more about closing the gap between Katakuri and Big Mom than widening the gap between Big Mom and Luffy. Katakuri is the definition of a beast and who the gently caress knows where he'd be if he was out pirating as captain of his own crew. It's also probably just one of the absolute worst matchup's Luffy's pulled the entire series in terms of abilities. But hey, I'm also finding it really cool how Gear 4 went from overkill vs. Doflamingo to a necessity versus the critical members of a Yonkou's crew. I feel like it's a good evolution of the Strawhats essentially stomping everything for a good chunk of the timeskip that also plays well into the overall picture of the Yonkou essentially being checks on one another. These are pirates you want to avoid confrontation with even when you're on their level, and I like that a lot. Still admittedly not a fan of the cooldown on G4 because, as JahRoo noted, it's way too specific, but I'm hoping this time is an improvement since Luffy can still be proactive while waiting it out.

It's just such an overly specific time that it feels unnatural. I feel it'd work better if it was more a general timer on G4 itself, with Luffy gradually recovering his Haki and associated move arsenal in the meantime instead of just coming back at once in exactly 10 minutes. I mean it does help that he's at least independently mobile this time, but I can at least understand initial reactions this time given that he had to be carried around like a corpse for several chapters the last time the cooldown was relevant.

I mean the last time the cooldown was in place it was literally 10 minutes, to the point where a character did a countdown for it.

bobjr posted:Plus having one of the strongest fishmen fighters on a sea battle helps tremendously in any fight. It's only due to the weather homies that Big Mom isn't done in from that in the first place. Yeah, it should be noted that this is also about as ideal as conditions can reasonably get for Jinbe. She's completely drenched from him soaking the Sunny, and his Fishman Karate utilizes all the water in the immediate vicinity as an amplifier for the impact - whether it be the water inside a person, water in the atmosphere, or water that's just straight-up soaking a person. He was able to land a good loving hit, one that probably takes down almost anyone else. Jinbe owns, but Big Mom remains a complete monster.

Monet was not an admiral and it is wholly believable that they have much better control over their powers to make a killing blow something you have to work your rear end off to land. That Zoro can effortlessly manage it with Monet is mostly a matter of Zoro being a complete monster and Monet being entirely out of her depth. Anyway half the point of Marineford is that Haki makes fighting Logia possible - it's not an "I Win" button. Akainu was annoyed because poo poo still hurts even if the hits can be recovered from.

He did merc those dudes that saw his utterly sinful behavior. This chapter owned though. That first Diced Mochi attack and the immediate aftermath panel of him were so loving good. I hope Katakuri is in Pirate Warriors 4 whenever we get it. He'll be fun as gently caress.

Blockhouse posted:why be mad at usopp when I can be mad at oda for writing the situation that way to begin with I mean the "problem" with the situation has always boiled down to "Oda didn't write what I wanted him to write!" so sure, go hog wild. Dressrosa has issues, and if folks were bored by Kyros and Rebecca then  , but Kyros taking care of the antagonist that exists solely for his section of the story ain't one of them. Certainly doesn''t warrant folks flatout making poo poo up about how it goes just to justify being mad about it.

Andrast posted:You can boil literally any criticism of any writing down to that sentiment so do you just have a problem with criticism in general then? I enjoy that you just kinda chopped off the part where I said the arc has issues, answering this question before you even asked it. But anyway, this is a dumb thing to say when the criticism being talked about it is expressly "I wanted something else entirely." If the Kyros/Diamante fight just didn't do anything for you then I don't really give a poo poo and think that's fair; I personally think Oda could have done more with it. But "I wanted someone else to get the fight" isn't a criticism, and lingering on it is just whining that the author didn't do what you wanted.

Begemot posted:You can boil literally any criticism down to "he didn't write what I wanted" if you ignore any and all context around it. Diamante was not introduced as an antagonist that exists for Kyros and nobody else. He was part of the Doflamingo family and ran the arena. The specific connection to Kyros and Rebecca wasn't made until later. "Oda hosed up the fight and made it boring" is a good criticism. It's an extremely vanilla fight and largely not up to par with what I expect from him. I also think he absolutely could have made it...not that. "Oda didn't write the matchup I wanted for no other reason than that I wanted the character in literally any fight" is not an actual criticism, but at the same time does not prevent "Robin has not had a fight in ages and that's hosed up" from being good criticism. I said before that Dressrosa has issues, and part of that is that it's really ridiculously packed with characters due to the Armada setup and I don't think Oda handled it well - which ended up negatively affecting a character like Robin who had what would be her more probable matchups go to the future fleet members instead to establish them some more so she kinda ended up getting shoehorned into the Diamante fight as Oda just honestly didn't really know what else to do with her. Eiba posted:She didn't need a fight, and she didn't need that fight, but she did need something cool to do and all she got was keeping professional gladiatorial fighter Rebeca who specializes in dodging out of the way while Kyros was boring and manly. This is actually basically where I'm at on the matter. I can absolutely understand being frustrated with Robin's lack of real involvement for going on...quite a drat while now, but that Diamante fight wasn't "stolen" from her and folks straight up making poo poo up about it (Kyros not letting Robin and Rebecca fight ~because they're women~) is duuuumb as all gently caress.
