With both Egghead in the anime and Elbaph in the manga it seems the wano stink is finally gone after so long and one piece is thriving again
>>284089457You'd be wrong. The Elbaf arc is full of retcon and flashbacks. The retconning is what's making me annoyed and I'm rereading chapters and looking at critiques of the need for the retcon.
Young big mom is gonna make me pick up one piece treasure cruise again
>>284089457Wano was a bit of a stink. I thought Dressrosa was boring, but Wano easily took that one. The Nika v Kaido at the end was some of the most bullshit plot ever.
>>284090239What about USOPP
>>284089457latest onepiece volume can't cross 1m lmao. Every volume sells 100k lesser than the last. It's final volume is going to sell like shit compared to every big series that ended
>>284090335There will be 10 to 100 more volumes though
Anyone else think the 4Kids OP opening was the best?
>>284090335And yet it's still the best selling manga of the year. Sales are down all over, people are moving to digital and buying fewer volumes of anything.
Kiku is my wife
>>284090335As long as its selling better than anyone else who cares
>>284090500Best selling series used to look like this and I didn't even choose the year one piece got utterly humiliated
>>284090554>>284090500
>>284089457Wano volume was selling 2 millions and elbaf volume is struggling to cross 1 million One piece sold 5.3 millions last year and this year One piece strongest competition is JJK which ended 14 months ago.
>>284090554>>284090500.
>>284090594Demon slayer per volume sales is 6.5 millions and One piece is 3 million Demon Slayer shits on One piece sales
>>284090610>>284090644>posts previous yesrs when one piece didnt win the year?????
>>284090663>Demon slayer per volume sales is 6.5 millionsIt's at almost 10.
>>284090239List the retcons!
>>284090726WowSo One Piece is bottom tier compare to Demon slayer
Imu is a monster!Imu will never get any sympathy from me, no matter how sad his flashback is...
>>284090671and yet all of them were higher sales
>>284089457>wano stinkAnon...Wano started at the second half of 2018. It was WCI stink in first two years of the shit Volume sales.
>>284090735Giants’ Lifespan & Maturity TimelineEarlier arcs implied giants simply grew slowly; Elbaf clarifies much longer developmental stages, adjusting expectations for characters like Dorry/Brogy and Hajrudin.Mother Carmel’s Role in ElbafThe Elbaf arc reframes Carmel’s prior influence, making her involvement with the Giant culture deeper than the Whole Cake flashback implied, expanding her “Saint of the Poor” image into something more orchestrated.Loki’s CharacterizationOriginally teased as a mysterious prince with romantic interest in Lola, the Elbaf arc alters or downplays that subplot—placing Loki in a more serious political/military role and shifting tone away from the comedic setup.Warrior Tribe Hierarchy & TitlesPast lore presented Elbaf warriors as largely uniform; the arc adds a multilayered hierarchy (chieftains, shield-bearers, saga-keepers), reinterpreting prior portrayals as oversimplified.Sun God / Norse Myth ParallelsSome earlier hints linked Elbaf loosely to Norse myth; the new material more explicitly ties Elbaf traditions to the Sun God/Nika mythology, reframing old giant customs as part of a larger global mythos.Dorry & Brogy’s Time AwayEarlier timeline implications suggested they were inactive for a century-level period; Elbaf clarifies the actual timescale and maintains more active correspondence with their homeland than previously indicated.Giant Weapon CraftsmanshipUsopp and Franky interactions in prior arcs framed giants as simple brute warriors; Elbaf reframes their engineering as ancient, highly advanced, recontextualizing earlier depictions as outsiders’ misunderstanding.The guy posting has a shit ton more, but I just highlighted as many as 2000 characters would fit in this post.
>>284090826That's from his 'Elbaf Flashbacks' section
>>284090322I think they'll just make him have one Observation Haki moment. He's one of those forgotten characters.
It's literally impossible to name another arc as bad as wano
>>284089457>Blue Lock doing 3M with a S2 Powerpoint anime and no WC boostBased
>>284089457>>284090594>>284090594>>284090610>>284090644Some arcs are way too fucking long like dressrossa and wano and others are way too short like reverie. Can we all agree here? Going from slugfest to gear 5 speed gives a bad aftertaste
>>284089457>not even Reze movie could save CSM sales
>>284090909I wanted more Alabasta. Vivi didn't get enough attention. Not to mention Baroque was very underplayed for being a giant crime boss section. Does anyone remember Whiskey Peaks? How many people did they kill and no one was anywhere near as strong as Zoro? Yeah, they underplayed this arc.
>>284090962Part 2 is unsalvageable in general
Why did Shanks become a RAT?
>>284090826You get it wrong. It was nothing between giants and WG. Carmel made the giant pirates be spared, in return giants allowed her orphanage at Elbaph. It wasn't about giants being accepted and join the WG.
>>284090522Zoro...
>>284090826Again myths=/=truth. Foreigners implications about giants are based on legends and tales.
>salesfaggotry>in 2025Eww nigga, dont you have something better to do with your time
>>284090985What did he mean by this?
>>284090594Makes me wonder if digital has taken over completely or the manga industry just fucking died
>>284091229They have to start tracking digital, in a world this digitalized still tracking only literal physical sales is just braindead
>>284090985Because Oda hates fishmen and ofc the rat was the secret unsung hero all along
>>284090985So Garling and Shamrock didn't know Shanks was a pirate on Roger's crew at all???
>>284090594>>284090610>>284090644>>284090760>recent volumes sales are down across the board because of digital distribution >OH YEA WELL WHAT ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO WHEN SALES WEREN'T DOWN BECAUSE OF DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION Actual fucking moron. Jesus wept.
>>284090239Expanding on something without contradicting it is not a retcon.
>>284090985It would be more interesting if he actually was or at least a Long John Silver type taking advantage of others.As it is, it's obvious that he's faking it, is actually heckin wholesome and will probably do and say nothing interesting by the time the series ends.
>>284090826WTF why does this arc give us new information about giants instead of just repeating what we already knew? That's bullshit I don't want anything new
>>284091609Oda loves to lore dump new things and characters
>>284091459they likely know but are fine with him coming back because he still is a world noble by blood and never explicitly renounced his birthright and is pretending to have despised his pirate life
>>284090826my God you're retarded bruv
>>2840905942021 was just as much of a freak year as 2020, go back to pre-Kimetsu at least
>>284095516Shanks is a good actor it seems
>>284097303COVID did wonders for it
Shanks reminds me of that comic where the one KKK guy can't stop talking about niggers.
>>284098540Anyone who says Shanks is faking this or 'working undercover' is a wistful fucking jackass. This do be actually the way it is. He really do be like that
>page 10
God this threads REEKS of retardation>inb4 some predictable faggot goes "stop smelling yourself"I can read you like a book
I would sell my soul to Imu for a donut right now
>>284102666>666 tripsDamn anon, you might get your wish, hope the donut is worth it
>>284102666>see you in hell neighborino
>>284102666Katakuri….
>>284089457Egghead is worse than Wano.Elbaf is fine
>Doomtroons and avatarfags bumping a Salesfags One Piece hate thread>Spam AIslop in the pervious threadAt least you disgusting fucktards aren't hiding it for once
The wano years were the worst years of opg
>>284089457I just read the new chapter on TCB and the translation was so fucking awful that I got confused several times
>>284097303The coff actually helped the sales of mangas across the board. Then it has been declining in the same way.
>>284107272When I responded to this thread it was the thread with the highest bump count you dumb fucking passive aggressive nigger. Maybe think before you speak without knowing what you’re talking about before you out yourself as a retard again.
aside from some memes (chopper, usopp, robin, buggy), are bounties really a clear, unequivocal indicator of a character's powerlevel?
How hard is it for a pirate crew to find an uncharted island, build some housing there then bring hot girls/boys you abduct from port towns to rape them or torture them if thats your thing?
>>284107647No, Kaido and Memes bounties shouldnt even be in the same magntiude(billion) as Jobfys before Wano they should have bounties in the octillions
>>284107272>One Piece “hate” thread>The OP is literally saying that One Piece is good and picrel shows One Piece having the highest total sales.Nice try doomkek. Take your thread possession syndrome crap to the HiatusxHiatus thread, oh wait there is none.
>>284100076Retards will act like this then go on to cry 'ASSPULL' or 'RETCON' when Oda reveals that Shanks was, in fact, faking it like anyone with a working frontal lobe could notice
>>284107647Yes and anyone pretending it's not are disingenuous fucks
