How did this end up being so popular? I get that it's fun to cosplay, but the story kind of sucks and only gets worse over time

>>290828768What anime are we talking about? That doesn't really narrow it down much.
>>290828768>Story about a rubber boy wanting to become the king of pirates and find the previous kings lost treasure!>30 years later: rubber boy is a reincarnated person that was destined to stop Satan by using his cartoon god powers. He still hasn't found the lost treasure or become pirate king yet.Honestly, the entire series revolves around sunk cost fallacy because most people that still stick around with this dogshit manga just want to see how it ends and get some answers for all of the mystery boxes.
>>290829604Are you dumb? Do you not see the one piece image op linked?
>>290828768One piece... I don't know why, I can't get into to it no matter how hard I try. Keep in mind the design is fine, but where the story arcs, it all falls apart.
>>290829664For sure, they've been slurping this manga for ages and they don't want to admit that it became garbage long ago
>>290829664Why are you calling me out?
>>290828768>>290829664Is that you Gege? Are you butthurt that your series was cancelled for having low sales? Are you looking for tips or something?
God Piece ruined everything.
>>290830012Yeah. Spare some change?
>>290828768It came out at the right time when there was a bit of a power vacuum in jump.
>>290828768we can all agree that One Piece > Hiatus x Hiatus > Bleach > Narutard > Jew Jitsu Kaidouright?
>>290830027I'll make sure to buy one of your books and donate it to a homeless shelter so you can see it displayed next to your bed.
>>290830090I'd agree with that if one piece (pre-timeskip) was at the top and one piece (post timeskip) was at the bottomFuck man, it doesn't even feel like the same series anymore
>>290830122Whole Cake Island and Egghead are better than every arc pre-ts. Nostalgiafaggotry clouds your judgement and time will absolve my opinion.
People calling it better than Naruto are delusional as fuck.
>>290829664imagine how many people have died during this time that will never know the end of one piece.
>>290830153I forgot to mention that I'm Mexican, not sure if that matters.
>>290830090HxH > DB > CSM (p1) > One Piece (pre-timeskip) > Naruto > DBZ > One Piece (post-timeskip) > CSM (p2) = JJK
It's fun, and yes fun to cosplay. There's always hundreds of people at the cosplay photoshoot and it's fun to get my whole group in on certain arcs entire cast.
>>290828768Covid gave people time to catch up to it. That's basically the only reason.
>>290830149Nta, but I hated Egghead early on when I had to wait for every chapter but now seeing the later part animated it definitely had its moments ngl (Arlong Park and Enies Lobby will probably forver have the most emotional moments in the entire series for me though).
>>290828768because it's good huh? are you retarded or pretending to fit in?
>>290830153naruto is complete dogshit
>>290830185Black Clover >>>>>>
>>290828768Oda has a fucking cult.
>>290830149In your dreams.
>>290828768>thing starts really good>gets a huge fanbase>retards get mixed in>thing declines>retards keep the hype alive
>be me, tasteless Naruto and Bleach fan>resent One Piece for being more popular>hear that time skip will be happening in One Piece>joke that now One Piece will go to shit just like Naruto did after the time skip (Bleach was already bad)>it actually happensS-sorry.
>>290828768>I get that it's fun to cosplayI've never in my life heard anyone say this. Thread already tells me its a schizo thread.
>>290835822>be me, tasteless One Piece fan>resent Naruto and Bleach for being more mainstream in the west>hear that Naruto and Ichigo are both chosen ones/children of prophecy>joke that now One Piece will also go down that route>it actually happensDon't worry about it, Anon. We jinx ourselves just as much.
>>290830122it's definitely not at the bottom of these, post-ts is still significantly better than war arc Naruto
>>290829664He's not the reincarnated anything, he simply ate mythical fruitAnyone could've done thatSomeone else in the story already did that like 500 chapters ago, I guess Sengoku is the OMG LITERAL REINCARNATION of Buddha too huh retard?
>>290830090>>290830185HxH (outside hiatus) > DB > One Piece (pre-TS) > CSM (p1) > DBZ > JJK > Bleach > Naruto (part 1) > Naruto (part 2, pre-war) One Piece (post-TS, pre-Wano) > HxH (during hiatus) > Naruto (war arc) > One Piece (post-Wano) > CSM (p2)HxH (during hiatus) is included for reference, because obviously HxH during hiatus is nothing.Anything below that is worse than nothing.
>>290837721
>>290829664> Story constantly tells readers that the treasure is of great importance and nobody found it in decades.> Constantly says that the pirate king is someone that will take on the world.> GUYS WHY LUFFY NO SAIL THE ISLAND AND TAEK TRESUR.And I'm not even bothering with the made up reincarnation shit, we both know you're not even reading the manga and never did.I can tell because you are anally fixed on the ending instead of anything else.
>>290838578It is incredibly piecemeal.>some 150~ chapters in we learn WMDs are a thing>the corruption of WG goes to the top>another 100~ and we find out they're an expansionist empire that murders entire nations for questioning thingsetcThe start really is just 'lolgofindit'. It's like 7 or 8 years of its run time to show it's actually a world revolution/world war story, not a treasure hunt. MFs like year 11? to get our 'OP is real' (so this asshole who has no interest in this said, and he'd known for a while).
>>290837610>>resent Naruto and Bleach for being more mainstream in the westNaruto and Bleach never had live action shows. When are people going to stop living in 2008 and come to terms with the fact that OP has been more popular in the west than both Bleach and Naruto ever were.
>>290837610Luffy was a chosen one from the start. His luck is MAAAAXX. His destiny is questioned by old farts off the bat. Reality bends over backwards constantly so he doesn't just fucking die to his own stupidity. He is consistently at the right place at the right time to liberate, unfuck, or fuck up some major event.
>>290838993I was saying those things back in 2012-ish.I know One Piece is popular now, but at the time nobody I knew in real life gave a fuck about it.
>>290828768Because it's easily the best adventure shonen of all time with the most interesting worldbuilding and the characters and little stories were amazing before things just repeated themselves and we learned that almost no one really diesFunnily enough the timeskip really is a good cutoff point. If you just take everything before it's pretty much 10/10 although the Sabo shit right after Ace died was a bit convenient Now post timeskip is just pure dog shit and it's almost exclusively brown third world people and low IQers that are starting the series in the last decade, but the foundation is still good and fun enough and the current arc at least introduced a few great characters again (Loki, Harald, Rocks)
>>290828768It had a great opening. The East Blue Saga is genuinely one of the best examples of adventure fiction in modern popular culture that has ever been produced; it’s objectively perfect.
>>290837659>He's not the reincarnated anythingThis nigger not into themes n sheeit you fucking baka
Saar, us poop slingers love this series.
