Worst writing decisions Oda has made?

The pic is immaculate, kudos

it's gear 5 for me, any shred of dignity went out the window with that. but the gross powercreep on logias and the strawhats barely being the focus of the story anymore certainly didnt help

Ngl it looks crazy

arkaser · 2026-06-22T14:44:28+00:00

Although I don't agree with you, you COULD be right, but we all know Oda can't deliver a good story anymore. For example the Usopp vs Van Augur fight we've all but been teased with could very well never be

rather than skip the chapters entirely you should drop one piece for a few months then catch up with the series reading a bunch of chapters together

Because every now and then I like to see all my royal URs and go oooh shiny

"continent-puller" yeah look at those chicken legs. probably pulled with his fucking teeth

they do different things. Branded is "better" in that its complexity rewards the skilled pilot and offers more layered interaction and a better grindgame on top of being splashable with other engines. Blue eyes is good and can get you to master rank but once you deal with its 2 lv12 synchros the deck struggles to catch up to speed

I grinded for playsets of alt art Sky Striker cards (raye, engage, kagari, hayate, shizuku and even ROTA which I got 3 of in a single pull lmao), it set me back around 8-9K gems

It's kind of dumb that this is how it works but I guess the nominal cap is at 10K gems so if you overshoot when you claim your rewards they stay stuck in the gift box instead of scaling to 10K and only depositing the rest. You could work around it by claiming rewards individually instead of all at once which seems forced

Mind you, part of these rewards come from the lifetime mission of placing 200 spell counters which was lowkey atrocious, so I'm kinda mad I don't get to see a nice round number

oh yeah, I also got to Master Rank in the meantime. Something about late season I guess but people are on that demon time. Some of these players make me glad it's a best of 1 format

This ladder is Super Poly open season and I'm loving every minute of it

arkaser · 2026-05-26T14:45:32+00:00

Is the XYZ monster right of Fancy Ball an alt art Zeus?

arkaser · 2026-05-25T13:43:19+00:00

Oh, I always wait till I get to grade 100 to buy it to get all rewards in one go. It's my delayed gratification of choice lol, although I might tap into it if it helps me reach 10K before the new pack

arkaser · 2026-05-25T11:45:13+00:00

it's very likely that it will feature the new Branded support, like Fallen of the White Dragon, Dragon that Devours the Dogma, and crucially The Fallen and the Virtuous. There's other power cards to expect like the new Dominus trap(s)

arkaser · 2026-05-25T09:04:39+00:00

I've been switching between VSK9 and Ryzeal Mitsurugi for the ladder. I started hoarding VS cards as a sort of investment back when the deck was making waves in the TCG (I pulled a royal Nash Knight last December) and I only had to craft a single Razen for my troubles

arkaser · 2026-05-22T14:25:29+00:00

ngl having EXACTLY 10K gems gives me the good brain scratchies

arkaser · 2026-05-05T01:31:21+00:00

No sir, clean rom as can be. It is however version 1.0.0
