He just seems to rehash the same story beats over and over, like kid (literally always aorund the same age) goes through adversity and then literally every mother dies, sometimes back to back and almost with copypasted panelsFans always try to see meaning in it like "just what could Oda mean by every mother dying?" but he just rehashes story beats
i'm just tired of flashbacks ngl. we just got one that was half a year and now we get another in the middle of the final boss fight
>>288698342Sometimes it feels like he does this shit because he needs more time to write story outcomes. He literally admitted that he doesn't even know what the One Piece is after Wano when he apologized for the bad pacing lol
>>288698327Hilarious how it happens twice for Loki.
>>288698327they're also trying to find a deeper meaning in this. its a subconscious cope session every week
>>288698591Further proof that Brook isn't black.
Yes, doesn't help the anime looks atrocious
>>288698653No long nose
>>288699157True just a simple narrow white nose
>>288699122why can't oda draw toes?
>>288700389It's what toes look like when you wear stupid shoes like high heels.
>>288698327My schizo theory is that One Piece has several dead end continuities for bad people and we're reading one of those dead end routes right now(because we're bad people)
>>288698327One Piece's story entirely revolves around romance and lost loves. Laugh Tale just being a literal comedy tale about Joyboy's romantic troubles isn't a farfetched theory.
The Imu shit reeks of hackery, it was fine as pirate factions trying to unravel Rogers last physical shitpost
>>288698327How are Candel and that giant bitch similar in the slightest? Or are you crying about the funeral being similar, for being a fucking funeral? >>288698342>in the middle of the final boss fightYou don't like this fucking manga, you do not even read it, you just skim through the pages.What makes you think this is for you when that's the case?
>>288698327The thing that this manga goes on for way longer than it should, that's why shit repeats itself.
>>288703077>How are Candel and that giant bitch similar in the slightest? Or are you crying about the funeral being similar, for being a fucking funeral?OP literally explains how, unironically every flashback mom in OP dies and we've gotten to the point where Oda basically reuses scenes.The bigger issue is how almost no one in One Piece dies in the present. Death feels even more meaningless than in DBZ because it just doesn't happen.
>>288699122Oda doesn't draw boobs this big, coomer.
>>288698327>funerals look the sameYeah anon
>>288704882>one piss repeats the same story beats every flashbackYeah anon
>>288703077>correctly identify that this flashback happens in the middle of a fight>REEEEEEEE YOU DON'T EVEN READ MY MANGOeven a hater would have the 2 min it takes to read a OP chapter every 2 weeks anyways
>>288698327Only a hack would allow Netflix to rape his baby, yes.
>>288704951Yeah manDid you just start reading OP today? Its been doing this since like, Chapter 8
>>288705077Oda oversees the cast of the live action, seethe all you want about it.
>>288705111Yes he is a hack, I know?
i don't even know the point of this flashback. yeah the government is evil we know...
>>288705090More like 80 and it's by definition not as repetitive, lazy and statistically improbable for something to repeat itself once in 80 chapters as it is to repeat itself 100 times times in 1200 chaptersI know the urge to shit on old things is strong in gay progressives who need to defend new things at all cost because they trigger their gay sensibilities less than the old things, though>>288705111Netflix shows him 3 n*ggers and he picks the least offensive looking. We know how Netflix operates. Sadly Oda probably didn't
>>288699122>>288700389Pretty sure it's intentional stylistic choice. He can draw them normally.
>>288705463post proof
>Mid Piece
>>288705437>Netflix shows him 3 n*ggers and he picks the least offensive lookingKek
>>288698327The manga definitely improved since Wano but Oda's hack writing still comes through a lot>finally escape Egghead, time for some actual sea adventures in this pirate manga?>nope>slowly, organically approach the giant island with things gradually getting bigger, maybe spotting giant seagulls or a massive palm tree in the distance?>nah>some random sleep fog just happens and knocks them all out>oh but they also drank some mystery shit so we don't even know which one did it and I guess we can pick whichever explanation we find less dumb>wake up in some Lego world where they fight muh animals>shitty side character gives them clothes that perfectly fit the arc's theme because One Piece is formulaic kiddy shit now and has to sell toys>not all SHs were there so we need a contrived way to meme costume the rest of them too>oh yeah the second character we happen to run into makes human clothes as a hobby, how convenient
>>288705742i hate that zoro still runs around with the pointless goggles
Naruto won.....
>>288706142What?
>>288698327I think this is foreshadowing Lily being Imu’s mother.
>new one piece flashback chapter>irrelevant filler>oh also actually brook knew a bunch of stuff he just never said anything before for no reason Oda is getting flashback arc mogged and he's scared
>>288698327He no longer gives that fuck, as simple as that. He's just going through the motion with repeat reaction panels to tell you how to feel because he himself stopped caring.
>>288706922>he just never said anything beforeHe knew what celestial dragons were, he knew about the knights of god, he knew about the world government being pieces of crap.What else is there?
>>288704733>every flashback mom in OP diesThat doesn't mean anything. >Oda basically reuses scenes.A funeral is not reusing a scene. >The bigger issue is how almost no one in One Piece dies in the presentThat is a fair criticism and I agree, doesn't excuse this kind of seethe central of a thread.
>>288705437
>>288702902I think Imu would've been better if Oda didn't make him omnipotent and omnipresent but also absent from 80% of the plot. You really can't have both in a story.
>>288706922Brook never said anything because he didn't understand it.
>>288709077People praise Oda's worldbuilding a lot, but he has a tendancy to introduce a concept late that suddenly everybody in universe knows about and is related to everything going foreward.Like Nika coming out of nowhere (you are actually brain damage if you believe that one offhand mention of a sun god in skypea was proof of a grand plan) and suddenly everything is about god fruits and joyboy now.
>>288699877Why does Brook’s face remind me of the epic gamer comic guy?
One Piece is one of those series that gets worse with age, realizing how childish it is>I wadda be piwate king>the joke being scrimblo bimblo booger faces recycled>I gadda stop the king of the wowld>the king is meanie like my dad who doesnt let me go past moi bedtimeand theres nigga in their 30s taking it seriously
>>288698327One Piece is the pokemon of manga being a series of rehashes for manchildren
>>288705159Left is fanart
>>288705742>>slowly, organically approach the giant island with things gradually getting bigger, maybe spotting giant seagulls or a massive palm tree in the distance?>>nahThis is why Skypiea remains my favorite arc. It still retains that feeling of adventure and exploration of the unknown despite being one of the more 'people fight'-centered arc by having a fortnite battle royale as the main conflict.
>>288699066If you think thats bad then youre a faggot
>>288705111He also colors the color spreads for the manga, we all know he only cars about money when it comes to Wokeflix>>288705159Left is cannon>>288705437This
Ah, this is where music and kinks sake might come around.Nika and Imu create music just existing, so there might be other ancient songs of power. Imu's interest in west blue is because it's the last place he knew it was, the song, could say be an undisclosed ancient weapon, since pluton is a man made construct, posideon is a re-incarnating magic, maybe this other one is more conceptual, sing the right song at the right place, and stuff happens. Please just don't be brookes fruit, we already got that with Luffy and Loki.
