dumb ESL
Genuinely, what are the editors at WSJ doing? Given the merchandising revenue, shouldn't they be giving a shit about the final villain of history's best-selling manga series?
>>287630807>final villainBlackbeard's design is fine, anon
>>287630778What would you have suggested? 'salvagable'?
>>287630838It is going to change though. Every time Teachs ascends, he gets a new fit. Also, the Devil powers might alter how Teach looks, like horns and red skin or something.
>>287630838Blackbeard will probably be Luffy's final opponent to rwsolve his personal rivalry, but from a world building perspective it's obviously Imu who is the final villain - same shit as Kaguya in Naruto. We've been over this many times now...
>>287630742>I haveth sown three plastic skulls to my pantaloons, now I am thrice eviler than before! Is Imu autistic?
>>287630742This page is technically worse in terms of visual content, but it's also relatively irrelevant plot-wise. So they're probably tied for worst OP page. Unless I'm forgetting some contenders...
>>287630935>Kaguya introduced during Naurto's final year of publication>Imu introduced 8 years ago and countingThese are not the same no matter how you slice it
>>287630935Yeah. Blackbear will probably be the final fight, but everything that's wrong with the world can be traced back to Imu.
>>287631184They're functionally the same. Revealing Imu earlier doesn't make him less shitty.
>>287630838>Ugly fat bastard, women repulsed>Handsome Satan with long silver hair, women wetGeez i guess which one the corporate editors of Shonen will pressure Oda to choose as the final villain
>>287631304>functionally the samePlease explain both their functions within the story so that I can laugh at you.
>>287631331damn so Oda's a hack that will bow to corporate pressure rather than an artist ? Okay.
>>287631851>chopper's redesignS aren't a thing
dumbest thread on the board
>>287630935Yeah but who cares about that shit? I don't understand why you zoomers like lore so much.
Luffy AND Blackbeard will defeat Imu, thus turning a new leaf in the history of the world and dealing away with old grudges.But then Luffy will fight Blackbeard over who gets to define the new age. Blackbeard would want to rule it with an iron fist again, basically mirroring Imu's rule, while Luffy wants freedom for all.
>>287631890Oda was the one who made them though, because he thought the VA made him sound cute
>>287631662>An ultimate, individual puppetmaster revealed late in the story through a retcon, who has been secretly steering the world's history to the detriment of its inhabitants; whose defeat pacifies national and global unrest and establishes the warriors who overthrow them as mythical heroes.
>>287630935Yeah Imu is the Madara/Kaguya while Blackbeard is the final Sasuke fight after everything is over
>>287632342> whose defeat pacifies national and global unrestDo you really think One Piece's world will just become a peaceful hippie-land if Imu got beaten up? lol
>>287630742The main problem is not the shitty design or plot contrivance, but the fact that the final boss in PIRATE ADVENTURE is just 'demon lord inspired by Japanese folklore' again.I thought Oda wasn't a Nippon Banzai freak, he even had to appologize for 'insulting' that nationalist soldier icon one time.
>>287632476Of course, there will be a big montage of all the local govts and Marines around the world reconciling with the rebels and feeding the starved plebs.Wholesome Pirating for recreational adventure purposes will be legalized to set up One Piece Modulo.
>>287632480Do you live in an alternate timeline imu is based on some japanese folklore or something?
>>287631890really doesn't address the point at allif Oda compromises the finale of his series based on merchandising than he's not an artist, just another salaryman
>>287632480>I thought Oda wasn't a Nippon Banzai freak, So did you just ignore that fact that One Piece's longest arc was about Nippon Banzai?
>>287632748I thought that was an editor order and Oda took his revenge by making it hot garbage. I thought we were done with that shit.
>>287632857Do you know who Roronoa Zoro is?
>>287632887yes, one of the most unpopular characters in the series
>>287632480It is a curious relationship how demons manage to be European Medieval D&D and syncretically Japanese (e.g. Nobunaga) at the same time in the style of Trimegistus.
>>287630877Yes I would suggest you form an actual sentence instead of speaking in broken English.
The final battle will probably boil down to the Four Emperors and their crews fighting over the One Piece with Imu defeated before the last two pirates standing.
>>287630778Nice dump
