One Piece's final arc will destroy the series's reputation like all "war arcs" do.It’s like the most creatively bankrupt way to wrap up a story. They just start throwing every single character into a giant clusterfuck of meaningless fights, most of whom haven’t been relevant for hundreds of chapters — and now suddenly we’re supposed to care because they got a half-assed power-up or a dramatic one-liner before getting one-shot.And the worst part is, none of it actually matters. The side characters don’t do anything. They’re just there to stall or get beaten so the MC can show up and save the day. It’s all fake tension. Nothing has weight anymore. There’s no strategy, no real emotional payoff, just endless fights with increasingly ridiculous stakes and a million flashbacks to characters who were barely even developed.It's like the author realizes the story is ending and suddenly feels the need to give everyone their "moment" — even if it completely derails the pacing and kills any narrative momentum. At some point it stops being a story and becomes a checklist.Meanwhile, the main villain turns into some godlike monster with five forms and a tragic backstory we only hear about five minutes before he dies. The war drags on for 50+ chapters, and by the end you don’t even care who wins anymore.There are a few series that pull it off, sure, but most of the time it's just lazy writing dressed up with flashy panels and fake hype.
One piss is already fucked with the constant retcons and Luffy being a god now. Their threads are completely dead and kept alive with porn spam kek
>>289802803It might still be good if Oda learns from his mistakes in Wano. (He probably won't due to his hubris.) The main reason the raid was so long and bad is because nobody stayed down and kept coming back after getting "defeated", so neither side was making any progress forever. If Oda pulls the same shit in the final war, I might actually drop the manga until it ends.

>>289804716Oda hasn't learned a thing. His arcs are copies of each other with different paint and his way to make them "better" is to make them longer.
