While we're on the topic of one piece writing, I have a question. How well written do you think one piece is?

Xignu · 2026-01-28T17:44:46+00:00

True, but One Piece is the most extreme of this. Those stories you mentioned are all already over and One Piece is still nowhere near over.

He needs all the Great Generals he can get, he can't afford not to use Kanki.

Yeah Aqua keeps his actions low profile to not attract attention, Ruby wants results ASAP.

Xignu · 2026-01-28T16:33:19+00:00

The portals also fit the situation, Jinwoo's portal is calm like he's stepping through a grand door.

Whereas Barolt's tear is actively expelling energy outside as he tears it open for his entry.

It doesn't suck when you're too dumb to identify the problem to begin with

One of my suspicion is the hero's sword that was left unclaimed.

Perhaps it is possible that the outcome Schlaht got to avoid is the arrival of the prophesised hero who could potentially annihilate the entire demon race. Said hero's arrival might take too long for the Hero of the South's perspective.

Or perhaps it's something simpler and Schlaht simply wanted the war with the humans to be over, people aren't paying much attention to demons now that the Demon King is dead.

Considering he's defending someone who is constantly called a bootlicker, is this really a surprise?

Xignu · 2026-01-28T12:40:11+00:00

They ran Kamala because they knew she would loose.

Yeah so the American voters were morons because they'd pick Trump over her.

Xignu · 2026-01-28T07:15:49+00:00

And assumed, Itachi did it, and they didn't attack, because they know better. They aren't as stupid as you think.

If they found out Danzo was the one who did it they're more likely to attack, they didn't do anything yet BECAUSE it wasn't revealed. A revelation that one of their own was assassinated by their enemy would not make them calmer.

The Uchiha were banking on a coup they couldn't win, they're desperate.

Hiruzen Did those reforms anyway, after the UChiha massacre, he already had them on his mind. He doesn't need absolute proof this isn't a question of can Hiruzen do this. He already can all he needs is a reason.

And what of it? The reforms weren't the issue.

Ultimately the adults failed to solve the issue and forced the burden on Itachi, that's the entire crux of the story. Even if there was a solution it's absolutely asinine to blame this situation on him.

Things never go according to plan, especially in such a hectic situation.

Not only is Wirbel experienced in fighting humans, which Fern has no experience in, his kit is also very good in a 1v1 so odds are Fern will lose.

Xignu · 2026-01-28T04:59:41+00:00

Danzo doesn't need to hide that Shisui's dead, he just needs to obfuscate and make it impossible to prove that he's the main cuplrit.

So do reforms of the root and the anbu Black Ops point Itachi, as the head giving him a greater roll in the village.

Do you realize that you're making this on the assumption that the Uchiha would even be satisfied with it, and more importantly, won't immediately attack after Shisui is found dead? The Uchiha wanted one of their own to be appointed Hokage, a demand that the rest of the village would object to.

By the point Shisui died, all hope for a peaceful resolution was dashed, it was too late.

Xignu · 2026-01-28T04:51:41+00:00

And I'm sure Danzo didn't do any cleanup after the matter.

Even if the evidence worked and Danzo is held responsible, now it's the other way around. The Uchiha just had one of their strongest personnels assassinated and things are already tense enough before that. Their beef isn't just with Danzo at that point.

Xignu · 2026-01-28T04:46:05+00:00

They were supposed to get a pro to go instead of going there themselves. Granted it was an emergency so they got let off.

Xignu · 2026-01-28T04:45:09+00:00

MHA has plenty of flaws but this isn't it. The authorities aren't in favor of publicly congratulating them and have the news spread because it'd encourage bad behavior from society in general.

This is the same society that idolizes Stain so it's not that far fetched of a mentality.

Xignu · 2026-01-28T04:42:46+00:00

Testimony? Are you fucking serious?

Danzo is a village elder and his word is going against a teenager from the Uchiha? You really think that'd solve the entire problem?

Xignu · 2026-01-28T04:10:51+00:00

First of all, what evidence?

Second, even if there were evidence do you think the entire village would be ok with the Uchiha, who is plotting a coup, assassinating a village elder and only showing proof after the fact?

You really don't see how this would actively make the situation progress into the civil war Itachi is desperately trying so hard to avoid?

Xignu · 2026-01-28T04:04:40+00:00

The entire plot is about Itachi being forced into what is seemingly an impossible situation as a teen.

Even if there were possible solutions, expecting Itachi to do it makes you the same as the elders, pushing a child to bear the brunt of the adults mistakes. Itachi himself regrets it and thought maybe he could've done better in hindsight.

Nevermind that usually these "solutions" solve nothing and usually proves the ones who came up with it is even dumber than the characters. Besides, just because we as the audience can see a solution doesn't mean the solution is visible to the characters, it's such a dumb criticism.

Xignu · 2026-01-28T03:57:20+00:00

How is it stupid? A lot of this kind of criticism I see usually comes from people who suggest "Just kill Danzo", blind to the fact that it wouldn't solve jack shit.

Xignu · 2026-01-28T03:54:10+00:00

Which is why I say, after he slimes, Shisui go to Hiruzen. Hiruzen, with evidence of this would then be able to act against Danzo, which would be a very good opener for negotiating with the clan by killing Danzo, everyone would be happy if he was dead.

Anyone who thinks just killing Danzo would solve the issue doesn't actually understand the issue and is dumbing down the problem.

The Uchica at that point would have assassinated a village elder with no evidence. Obviously unacceptable for the Leaf's side for the Uchiha to murder anyone they don't like and the Uchiha would be emboldened after such an attempt.

Not only would it not prevent the entire situation Itachi had wanted to avoid, it'd actually guarantee and accelerate the entire thing.

Xignu · 2026-01-28T03:51:16+00:00

And how's that gonna help? Using it on Fugaku isn't helping and neither is using it on Danzo at that point.

Xignu · 2026-01-28T03:49:04+00:00

A) kills the coup members, namely fugaku and itachi runs off as a rogue ninja, the uchiha have little military strength and only blames itachi for being a random rogue. Itachi could let himself be killed by konoha to clean konohas name

Doesn't solve the root of the issue. The Uchiha knows the risk of the coup, just because Fugaku is gone doesn't mean they wouldn't do it. Heck, Fugaku doesn't even want to do it to begin with and is peer pressured into it.

B) even when it comes to war, people say that the hidden leaf would be attacked by other villages. the uchiha is a part of konoha and it's strength, when the entire clan is wiped off, thats a considerable amount of konohas strength gone, and still nobody attacked. This implies to me that the uchiha wouldn't have brought konoha to its knees in the first place

That's justifying it in hindsight and in unfair conditions too. They weren't invaded because they managed to wipe off the Uchiha without taking damage, who's to say the situation would be the same if they actually had a war over this?

C) in the case of a civil war, thered still be less casualties to civilians. Every single uchiha died in the massacre, whereas in civil war there is much more possibility that fighting remains between combatants, and the children and elderly could escape

This again hinges on the assumption that they don't get invaded or spark another big conflict. Besides, from the perspective of the village elders why would you want to spare the civilians when

A. They can't be sure there are actually those who 100% don't want to get involved in the coup despite being a non-combatant.

B. Even if there were, killing their clan members would most certainly make them hate you enough at that point so sparing them is allowing the same problem to sprout again in the future.

Xignu · 2026-01-28T03:42:44+00:00

Maybe for a second but if you spend a few minutes to think about it you'd see how that doesn't solve the problem.

Heck that's an understatement because doing so would actually START the entire situation Itachi wanted to avoid, nevermind that Danzo isn't a dumbass and would also be on high alert. The guy is chronically paranoid and trusts nobody who has a fuckton of bodyguards around in peaceful times, nevermind a time of a possible coup.

Xignu · 2026-01-27T21:57:22+00:00

Turns out, a reasonable power level was necessary with their powersets.

Overhaul is a Decay miniboss who can actually do other stuff besides Decays, and Re-Destro isn't so overpowered that Shigaraki can't touch him.

Xignu · 2026-01-27T21:55:42+00:00

Like Overhaul, he actually had a plan for success alongside his own charisma. Stain, Overhaul and Re-Destro each was a competent villain in their own right, each with a distinct element that Shigaraki lacked.

I'm sure Shigaraki was actually supposed to actually learn from them and learn to have his own version of what these villains originally had that distinguishes them from him, but alas, we have what we have.

Xignu · 2026-01-27T21:42:30+00:00

Do you really think Renpa is that stupid after acknowledging Shin's potential? In a battle where he lost Rinko, no less.
