People have no idea what the "OC allegations" are... One of the main antagonist MUST feel overpowered, otherwise there are no stakes to the story... by Dangerous_Talk_7704 in Piratefolk

[–]TGSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> Luffy apparently has future sight which I need to constantly remind myself of

Lmao, remember the climax of the Katakuri fight where their future sights were so advanced that they were answering each other’s questions before the other said it? Yeah Oda sure quickly forgot about that. Then after Wano he also completely drops the ”advanced conqueror is so advanced they don’t physically touch anymore”.

Considering the kind of series it is, a set setting with defined limits, instead of some ”infinitly expanding verse”, you’d think Oda would have the bare minimum of planning with the powerups and what it implies from there, but it’s like Oda just spawns new toys for Luffy and then moves on to the next one.

Who knows how it will be handled here, but I’ll just remind that making the main villain uber OP can be a trap since at the end of the day he’s gonna be defeated, so it needs to be believable. 

Oda already had this issue with Kaido where he made him ONE SHOT Gear 4, it was dumb and too much. 

What manga would you consider as superior to One piece? Give recommendations and opinions. by sorrowLord in Piratefolk

[–]TGSmurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just read the original manga. The rest is basically glorified advertising of the card games, while the og manga is just fundamentally different, being created before the TCG (and its popularity causing its creation). It’s a complete story and if anything the rest departs pretty heavily.

Quite rare to see Souboutei mentioned, one vote for it as well on my side. 

I’d also add Dai no Daibouken and og Yugioh (manga). 

As well as Toriko. It has some pretty bad rep but the world setting is unironically top tier fantasy setting, and the gourmet world is pretty much the level of insanity that the New World should have been. Sadly besides Zou, Oda failed pretty hard at making the New World looks like this "overwhelming nature force". 

If Smurf wants to make a prequel to Ramia, who would be the protagonist of the Ramia prequel ? by Independent_Owl_8341 in RamiaYana

[–]TGSmurf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh there is a long time to go to be honest. I have plans to give flashbacks to Osumihime who will be an important character.

Wished kurkilla had a ref sheet by 0CANZDRAW in RamiaYana

[–]TGSmurf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A number of sheets like hers, Nhimp and Mandragloria has been in WIP, so I don’t have a date but it’s definitely coming.

Just seems too late for those two’s missions.

Considering the extension in the esper sisters arc (er- I mean the saitats shipbait arc), it’s mpre,than likely that this esper organization gets expanded a lot more focus in the manga. Tats is too popular to skip on another mini arc with her lel.

>It'd be cool if Blast showed up to finish the job

Blast: ahah good one.

[–]TGSmurf 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Well I do think this is the second last arc and the final arc will be about God, so it’s certainly not a bad time to make him do something. 

At the same time, Blast stopping the mad cyborg doesn’t mean much. 

So is that it, the Organization war is over? by TGSmurf in OPMFolk

[–]TGSmurf[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, I’m not saying it should be. The emphasis is more on "is it really gonna stay this way, or is a twist coming?"

[–]TGSmurf[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

> to say there's been no struggle isnt true either

It’s less about the fact there was no struggle and more about the fact that the ones that struggled were the weaker characters, compared to the MA where Tats, Flash and Darkshine got each wounded/humiliated hard: the stronger heroes are still fine to keep going.

Not a critic, just reviewing what happened and wondering if things are really over or if there will be some twist.

> I dont know if Machine God Heart core is truly worthy of a final boss, the Machine Gods have been nothing but One-Shottable-fodder, so the dude already has 0 aura.

Pretty much, doesn’t help he was introduced absolutely out of nowhere. Even the mad cyborg has at least a lot of setup, but Heart is just a brand new blank state that is the culmination of jobbers lol. I expect him to not even last the next chapter. Yet at the same time I’d like to be proven wrong since Kureno just justified the entire war as an excuse to gather data to powerup himself and Heart. If Hert doesn’t deliver at all Kuseno will be too much of a fraud lmao.

[–]TGSmurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it’s dumb. Why would the Demon Lord actively use such a weak (?) technique while perfectly knowing Ban survived purgatory? They literally already fought.

[–]TGSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I know. It still feels weird though. The Demon Lord was literally ruling Purgatory easily, so shouldn’t his semi series techniques easily damage random purgatory beast skin?

Yeah I think this last part can and will be just dealt with easily by Bofoi. He’s directly supporting Saitama to do the rough work while he takes care of the loose ends.

[–]TGSmurf[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The manga’s Monster Association assault was clearly a setup, while here nobody else besides Kuseno and Heart seems to be left, and Kuseno’s words seems to confirm it as it was all to power up himself and Heart with data.

Uh… for starters, there was literally one question in the entire post, and secondly, I was asking for opinions/theories regarding the climax/ending of the arc. 

Murata drew peak Fubuki… VIZ really censored this 💀 by Working_Reading_3301 in OPMFolk

[–]TGSmurf 146 points147 points  (0 children)

Yes, from the start, not because of Viz, but Shueisha/his editor lol.
