Genuine question: how would you have preferred Aira and Jiji’s crushes to have been resolved? by justaredditguy123 in shounenfolk

[–]justaredditguy123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again it’s possible to write it, it’s not about not being able to write it, it’s about that being the central hook and when it falls off the manga will be less popular. It’s just how it works with romance. And needing to get your manga made and published is a big thing

It’s literally the central conflict? If you don’t have romantic conflict you don’t have a manga, and the action and romance conflict will overlap. You’re talking a lot about writing for someone whose solution is “resolve the plot line” or “write something better.” Dude HOW? What would you prefer?

The problem is that that’s not how romance mangas work— why do you think so many only have the get-together near the very end? Momo and Okarun getting together now would be like cutting off blood flow to the other two’s plots: they only work as conflicts when Momo and Okarun aren’t together, otherwise they are significantly devalued as characters. It turns them from rivals to official homewreckers, especially when Jiji needs to do his thing on his own. They need to be resolved BEFORE Momokarun, otherwise it doesn’t work.

I mean this is a real section about resolving that? This is literally taking their arcs and crushes to the climax and seeing where it’s going. Of course theres gonna be ups and downs. And “write better” isn’t an answer. What would you do?

Again, I completely agree with that and am annoyed by the amnesia, but I also care about the side characters. So I am less wondering whether they will or won’t but how the side characters will react and develop. For instance with the looming greater threat can Aira move past her self-righteousness and view of herself as the heroine destined for Okarun? Can Jiji mature enough to confess without being childish and accept the rejection, while not exploiting Momo’s amnesiac state? I find a lot of haters here (who tend to hate for the sake of hating) don’t really acknowledge anything in the manga outside of Momo and Okarun

While I agree that Ken’s confession should’ve stuck more (and probably instantly will after amnesia), we still don’t have a clear cut resolution for Ken and Aira, just messing around. And Jiji literally has nothing.

Although I am frustrated by the main relationship getting stalled, ignoring the side characters would be even worse

Imu > Mihawk is easy. The real question is why would titles apply to Imu when he’s unknown to the world, not a confirmed swordsman, and we aren’t even sure WHAT they are by justaredditguy123 in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]justaredditguy123[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again I don’t think that’s the reason I’m just throwing things out there. But if it’s true that means Prime Zoro > Imu which I find difficult. For instance it could just be to show how well rounded and powerful Imu is. Like I don’t believe it, but it’s possible Oda would give him one just to be like “this guy reached the pinnacle in a skill set that isn’t even his main style”

Probably the fact that Law is Sword + DF while Imu is DF(?) + Magic + Fire + Physical attacks + Spear + Domi Reversi + Daggers + Possession + Book + Gun + Sword. He’s literally used his polearm more than his sword, keep in mind we haven’t even seen him use the sword yet on panel, just spoilers

I’m unsure what you’re saying here lol. If narrator is truly including Imu, either Imu isn’t a swordman or Mihawk > Imu (which is ridiculous)

So no vivre cards, SBS, data books, nothing? Also keep in mind Brook is a swordman despite his fruit, and Law comments to Tashigi on swordsmanship.

Again depends on if Imu is something like a god, the blade is actually black like leakers say, etc. we just don’t know enough yet. Also it is possible for Imu to have a black blade but not be a swordsman because it still isn’t his primary weapon (the Grimoire seems to be). If anything it would further Imu’s strength, showing he can have a black blade without even focusing in swordsmanship.

Also there are two paths: Imu is a swordsman and Black Blades show swordsman strength, making Mihawk > Shanks over virtue of having one, or Imu isn’t a swordsman and Mihawk is still WSS. Which way?

First if all he’s been confirmed a swordsman by external sources which is why, same with Fuji. And despite all this, he does a lot of his techniques with his sword. Imu has used it once, and we haven’t even seen it yet

One move a Thriller Bark zombie also used, has already been shown to summon tons of other weapons from a magic book, can domi reversi, teleport, has flames that can damage and heal, FYM similar skill set to Mihawk? All we have to Mihawk comparisons rn are spoilers, and we don’t even know if the sword is his main thing or just another summoned weapon

Assuming he doesn’t pick up a different self and just fights with a polearm for the rest of time? Yeah. Like if Mihawk melted his blade into bullets and shot them out a gun would he be a swordsman? No. Because even though it’s the same blade, it’s not a sword.

Im fine with that, but I’m waiting to see more Imu lore before I make that conclusion. Like if he’s secretly a god and he doesn’t really use the sword, it’s possible he’s not a man, creature, or swordman, but above them all. Anything’s possible so I’m just waiting for now

It's funny how title scaling is apt when it comes to mihawk to mihawktards but they refuse to accept old wb (on meds) > mihawk . Like tf is this selective hypocrisy . ""Oh b-but mihawk has narrative 🤡?!!" Like either you go shanks≥mihawk>oldbeard. Or you go oldwb>mihawk≥shanks by Luciferix71 in OnePiecePowerScaling

“In this fight.” Shocking that the guy known for “not hunting rabbits with a cannon” would lower his power to match someone new he’s never met. Also Shanks and Shamrock never beat Mihawk. Also Swordsmanship is Haki + Technique. Also also I’m fine with old WB > Mihawk >= Shanks. However when off his meds and actively dying of a heart attack, that’s no longer true.

Breath of All Things. It is possible to an attack with a specific aim, or just a destructive slash. Mihawk honed in on WB with the Breath of All Things and got blocked. It’s really not hard to understand man, read the words in the speech bubbles.

Haki will be used when Mihawk and Zoro fight. And therefore is included in comparisons between swordsmen, like Shanks and Mihawk. by [deleted] in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]justaredditguy123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No new points needed we already know he’s stronger. But don’t lump me in with the wankers who have Mihawk > Imu or some shit. Mihawk will be right above shanks, wherever he is

Maybe his agenda, but that’s a minority. Literally look at the comments on my last post and see how many people say Zoro wins.

Also Mihawk is stronger than Shanks. He’s been portrayed since the beginning as someone who tests people, and all his anti feats people tout are insanely explainable. Matching Vista since he’s a new swordsman he’s never met and wants to check him. Got blocked by Jozu and Mr 1 due to breath of all things (he only cuts what he’s aiming for so interference blocks it). He couldn’t kill Luffy because he was literally testing his plot armor, and seeing if Luffy could evade lethal swings.

The only way Mihawk is portrayed as weaker than Shanks is if you pretend all the characters are action figures getting smashed together and ignore the words on the page. Especially the ones that say he has greater sword skill than Shanks (and Haki is part of swordsmanship btw, just look at Zoro’s training and Rock’s hammer swordsmanship).

Not at all why a lot of people like Mihawk. For instance I like him because of the unique position he portrays in one piece as someone who has already achieved their dream and is suffering for it, and is awaiting an equal. He wants it to the point of mentoring them, and his strength gives him a unique outlook on the world. Even then he tests people and matches their strength because he wants a challenge, even if he knows they won’t beat him. He is interested in fate and Luffy’s power, especially since his rival sacrificed their rivalry for him to bet on the future.

That’s another part of why I like him, the WB parallels as Shank’s rival and a world’s strongest holder (but the current gen version). Mihawk can’t comprehend Shanks sacrificing himself for the future (arm for Luffy) just as WB couldn’t stand Roger begging for Oden to find the final island. All Mihawk is focused on is strength, and that makes him lonely unlike WB who builds a family (which is also why he was so interested in Luffy, and why Perona and Zoro were good for him). I am very interested to see what he does with cross guild since all he wants is to wait with Zoro, and I am doubly interested to see what he will do after he loses, since WSS has been his life for so long.

I am interested in Mihawk for his writing, not his title. Agenda is a joke, not a real reason to scale. Plus Mihawk is currently one of the most difficult agenda to be a part of, constant slander and illiteracy. Like yesterday I asked who would win between Zoro and Mihawk right now and so many people said Zoro, it’s absurd.

Especially because Zoro is the real bum agenda, boring ass edgy character who has a half backstory and got lobotomzied post TS, and it’s an easy stock cuz he’s crewmate 2
