>BUT SKYPIA FORESHADOWED NIKA, look Luffy was dancing!Gues Buggy is Nika now
>one poop
oda is laughing at you
>>284112070>I DON'T KNOW WHY
>>284112060I dont mind gear 5. Just found the reason he awakened mediocre. It didnt have to go as far as Goku ssj trigger, but a lil more would have been nice.
>>28411206029 29Gods aren't real
>>284112115I don't like gear 5 because it feels like an asspull, and the Nika fruit doesn't work at all how zoan fruits work (I don't mean the power in general but the way it only made Luffy rubber first and he only got a transformation through awakening). it was literally just "yeah he had a paramecia but it's a mythical zoan now"
Nika is literally the biggest pleb filter of all time and I thank Goda that it was created. It's an easy way to separate the speedreader fags from the genuine true fans that "get" the series. Nika just makes sense as an evolution for Luffy, and misunderstanding that means you fundamentally misunderstand the entire series.
>>284112102>doomers: nika reveal came out of nowhere! this sucks!>slurpers: it was foreshadowed in skypiea! you're just illiterate!>oda: I drew it as a jokeholy based, everyone btfo
OPtoddlers don't know the difference between foreshadowing and retrofitting
>>284112102>I didn't want my manga to be too serious
>>284112060The fact that retards can't grasp that having the Nika fruit makes luffy neither chosen nor jesus is funnyIt's "just" a mythical being, of which there's others in the universeIs Sengoku the chosen one too you retard? He's got a "god" fruit too
>>284112150but i'm real
>>284112060Oda has absolutely no way for Luffy to beat the top tiers without pulling something like a toon force powers. How do you expect Luffy to beat Kaido without going with the I'm gonna punch him harder? Which Oda said he didn't want to do but since he wrote himself into a corner he decided to just go with a big punch that Kaido didn't want to avoid at all.
>>284112514there are not a hundred prophecies about buddha saving the world
>>284112102Then he went ahead and made rape canon a year later
>>284113503>How do you expect Luffy to beat Kaido With help? The zulong minks, the scabbards, the remnants of the WB pirates the pieces were all there, oda just poorly utilized them. The minks got almost entirely wiped out by jack and his army of fodders and the scabbards jobbed offscreen to base kaido after getting to show off against him for like two chapters.
Bonney feet
>>284112102Jokes on him.
>>284112060>they skipped over Buggy's recruitmentHis lineage is going to be a big deal, isn't it?
>>284112060>son of the most wanted man in the world>grandson of the legendary marine who was a rival to roger in his prime>half brother is roger's son>D. in the name>saved at the last possible second in the same spot roger was executed>frees one country after another with seemingly impossible odds against him (he's the protagonist duh, but look at it in-universe, what other pirate does the amount of shit he does?)>prophecies that involve him or are fulfilled by him all over the place (fishman island, the bell in skypiea)>has the only person in the world who can read poneglyphs in his crew>hears the voice of all things exactly like someone else did, who was it again?I could go on but I think you get the point, luffy was always special, it's fine not to like the nika fruit but it's idiotic to pretend it made him something different than he already was
>>284113503Luffy was fodderized by Lucci and then 10 chapters later he pulled G2 out of his ass. It's not a new thing or a problem.What people take issue with is the entire lore surrounding the awakening and how that changes everything in the story. If it was just a random power-up with no extra narrative implications nobody would complain about the toon force.
>>284112060We already know that Buggy is some kind of Choosen one. Even the marine knows it.
>>284113503If that bothers you.. Wait until Oda uses Koby and you say.. WTF? This boy revealed be Far Weaker than a normal human in his introduction 2 YEARS AGO.While Luffy trained for +1 decade since Kid.
