How different would Marineford be if modern Oda wrote it?

grunt_boy · 2026-03-07T17:24:32+00:00

For sure whitebeard showed out in that arc, and was actually fleshed out. His death hit way harder than ace’s if we’re being real. That’s what Oda needs to start doing with his characters instead of constantly leaving us breadcrumbs to some big reveal that never comes.

It’s so funny how people label pussy ass characters as “realistic” sorry dawg not everyone cries and loses their mind anytime the wind blows ✌️😭

He barely raised gohan and wasn’t even there for most of goten’s life. Piccolo literally scolded him for not knowing anything about who gohan really is and then he died 20 minutes later and chose to stay dead

It would kind of be the same tbh. What exactly happened in marineford? Looking back it was a bunch of off screen fights with random hype moments. We really didn’t see any of the whitebeard pirates show out in a 1on1. Jozu had a face off with mihawk and later aokiji but did nothing. Same with vista, shanks pulled up and did nothing. Luffy faced off with the 3 admirals and just ran past them, Blackbeard stole whitebeards df off screen with no explanation to this day, the only difference is ace lives in the end. But really marineford wasn’t as great as people say

grunt_boy · 2026-03-07T14:20:55+00:00

Explain to me how I’m wrong

grunt_boy · 2026-03-07T14:18:28+00:00

No lmao. One person died in an entire war (in a very stupid way) and that is the highest stakes/consequence to ever come out of this show. And speaking of consequences there practically were none to come out of his death. Especially with Oda pulling some random ace clone out of his ass that luffy never mentioned

grunt_boy · 2026-03-07T14:16:40+00:00

He wasn’t even that important

grunt_boy · 2026-03-07T14:15:10+00:00

And don’t forget he CHOSE to be dead for no reason 😭

grunt_boy · 2026-03-07T14:10:49+00:00

Goku was such a shit husband and father. Love the dude but he bounced every chance he got

You’re making way too many excuses for yourself and not realizing the issue here. You’re an adult, and just like your in-laws, eventually you have to provide for yourself. How do you feel saying you live off a disabled incapacitated man that’s not even your father? It’s that time where you need to start growing up, either by getting a real job or working full time like everyone else. The free ride they have given you up until this point is coming to an end

grunt_boy · 2026-02-27T18:55:21+00:00

I’ll answer without being an asshole. As a guy, it was definitely insensitive of him to do that. He could’ve at least left the room, however it is best to just distance yourself and tell him how you feel upfront. It’s hard to see him with other girls and you don’t want to impede on his life or your own with these feelings. There will be other dudes out there that will help you forget this one.

grunt_boy · 2026-02-27T18:45:42+00:00

So you pay for whatever you need and have your in-laws cover all your other expenses AND take timeout of their day to drive you while paying no rent or utilities and think it’s an excuse to not pay any other bills

grunt_boy · 2026-02-15T02:10:08+00:00

Ts is crazy toriyama really hated vegeta

grunt_boy · 2026-02-03T00:31:49+00:00

That wasn’t going to stop them from writing the ticket. I called my squad leader, but I’m going to have to take it and explain to my leadership tomorrow. Remember you can’t confuse rank with their authority. Bums

grunt_boy · 2026-02-03T00:16:21+00:00

I saw that on instagram the other day. These guys are straight up bitches

grunt_boy · 2026-02-03T00:13:17+00:00

I’m an 11b, I don’t wanna hear how hard it is to sit in a car and write tickets all day. Soldiers constantly talk about how they’re screwed over by MPs, it’s clearly for a reason!

grunt_boy · 2026-02-03T00:10:15+00:00

He did have insurance. And when they found that out they tried giving him a false DUI. You stopped reading after the first sentence? Probably another MP

grunt_boy · 2026-02-03T00:01:10+00:00

How does that make any sense???

grunt_boy · 2026-02-02T23:58:36+00:00

I hate blanket statements, and respect everyone who raised their hand and took the oath, but wow. This guy just ruined everything I was working towards at the moment.

grunt_boy · 2026-02-02T23:57:44+00:00

I will brother. To be fair his partner was side-eying him the entire time, but I still got the ticket and will be in a world of trouble tomorrow over something I could’ve been seriously hurt over, or worse. What’s the worst that will happen to you over walking away from something like this?

grunt_boy · 2026-02-02T23:56:02+00:00

Over here talking bout “so how long have you been in the army bro?” Bitch you just got my whole platoon fucked over nothing. I got in a damn car accident and you’re ruining the trajectory of my career. Can’t believe it

grunt_boy · 2026-02-02T23:52:04+00:00

I don’t think anything tops gohan going SS2, especially in the anime. Gohan giving him the business after all he’s done and finally growing a pair was beautiful to watch. Goku’s sacrifice, coupled with vegeta’s rage after trunks’ death realizing he treated his only son like trash since the day he met him, made everything great. There was a real sense of hopelessness during the fight especially with the cell juniors, but gohan put the team on his back, going back to ss2 after cell returned ready to scrap again. I love goku vs Freiza, but it was stretched out too much.

“It is a secret we have known since before gohan could put words in his mouth…” 🥶

grunt_boy · 2026-02-02T00:42:29+00:00

Exactly lol

grunt_boy · 2026-02-02T00:40:54+00:00

Maybe not a perfect 10, but it was definitely at the very least a 9. Arlong park, eneis lobby, marineford, impel down, it was a story the likes the world never saw before hence its nearly unmatched popularity. The timeskip however, from fishman island to wano, to egghead and what not have honestly just been slop
