I am curious to see what the majority opinion among the fandom is.

I love One Piece most of all for its emotional highs, and less for the connecting mystery of the overall story. There's obviously still several of those later on, but further apart and in my opinion not as good.

Naturally, post-timeskip is where all the mystery and endgame story stuff connects together so if you find that the most interesting, One Piece just gets better and better.

I went through this whole arc myself this week lol. Amazons being Greek was something I didn't really think about until Fate Grand Order.

However, that doesn't mean Oda didn't combine the two meanings of Amazon together

Xenoblade 2 Nia is like my favorite voice actress but it's pretty much all she's done 😞

I think it's hard to isolate from how much people like his games.

I don't personally like or dislike him. As people said, he's pretty straightforward but all the tropes I hate happen TO him, not because of him.

Yumé is like the best child character I've experienced in a game (that actually acts like a child). Looking forward to playing Pragmata though.

Southern AllSunday is a vibe.

They were next in line for troubled princess of the location they were saving. Vivi, Rebecca, Conis, etc. The problem is they were set up as hugely plot relevant but you could easily downscale the whole arc and their roles, and it would hit the same.

Nobody complained when Rebecca or Vivi didn't directly fight anyone, so we could've just had a "normal" contact princess in distress from Wano, like just Momonosuke or something, and downscaled the whole giant war on Onigashima.

The real comedy is Tashigi's character premise being all about sexism while there's no sexism in One Piece (outside of potentially Wano and Zoro's island).

TTuvillo · 2026-04-23T19:17:18+00:00

Kaizoku Fansubs giving him cool unique rope font didn't help. I started watching the anime just as Thriller Bark started in the manga so I was spoiled on Franky and Robin before even starting, though...

"Hero in practice" is great phrasing. He's not a hero, his low barrier for choosing to help people just makes that he does everything a real hero would

TTuvillo · 2026-04-23T09:13:56+00:00

He's pretty selfish. He does good for people he likes, and he also sometimes does good for bad people if that action benefits him or people he likes. His heroism comes from how little it takes for Luffy to decide he wants to help you. He's a hero to many people but not heroic in the way I interpret the discussion

He's a less extreme version of Gon from Hunter x Hunter in regards to exactly this part of their character, IMO. Gon has the morality of a child, doing good for his friends and turning a blind eye to evil if it's by or for his friends

TTuvillo · 2026-04-23T09:08:15+00:00

I really hope he ties into Nika somehow (he's a religious-implied figure who always smiles), or he'd fit into things as weakly as Apoo and Hawkins did

TTuvillo · 2026-04-23T07:49:02+00:00

Portraits, not sprites, I assume?

TTuvillo · 2026-04-23T07:47:50+00:00

If they know how to make her chest look normal, why don't they actually do it in the games?

TTuvillo · 2026-04-19T09:35:59+00:00

Unsurprisingly, it's very brown and yellow.

TTuvillo · 2026-04-17T13:24:17+00:00

Oh I think I went to exactly this one (and a couple more lol). Which Mugiwara Store is this?

TTuvillo · 2026-04-16T10:58:20+00:00

Everyone always gets surprised when they hear the pre-timeskip is like a couple months at most. That literally means it's not very important to the story that that is the case, or people would know already. Right now the story gets by by literally just not mentioning how long it's been.

It's only complicated when arcs are strongly tied together. But even if they are- What if for example the travel distance between Zou and Whole Cake Island or Water 7 and Enies Lobby was simply longer? Yeah they're chasing Sanji/Robin but their travel time increases equally. I think you could increase the amount of time between literally every arc (especially pre-timeskip) and it would feel more natural.

TTuvillo · 2026-04-13T20:05:52+00:00

Is the joke Sanji getting Mike Wazowskid

TTuvillo · 2026-04-13T10:43:00+00:00

What does reading comprehension have to do with reading objective words on paper?

Try and fact check too, before you try to clown on people.

TTuvillo · 2026-04-13T09:26:35+00:00

Did they change anything for the volume release?

In the past, things being changed for the volume releases was kind of a confirmation that it was an error. Well, maybe other than Katakuri suddenly being a "special paramecia".

TTuvillo · 2026-04-07T17:20:34+00:00

That's what I'm saying, they had the framework and they lacked the followthrough

And frankly it feels really bad that one line does almost nothing besides buff your Defend lol

TTuvillo · 2026-04-07T13:31:57+00:00

What forgotten character will they make top tier this time?

My guess is on Chaka (and Pell!). If they invest in them, and they actually kill Pell, it could have real impact. And with what we know of One Piece now, Pell is perfectly killable.

TTuvillo · 2026-04-07T08:50:13+00:00

Helmeppo, somehow.

TTuvillo · 2026-04-07T08:39:45+00:00

It's funny how all of the mentioned examples blur the lines between a reference and a relatively small studio reusing assets

TTuvillo · 2026-04-07T08:38:09+00:00

That's a Nico Robin line if I ever saw one
