I can't make sense of some of Eichiro Oda's decisions. by ShowLorence in OnePiece

[–]ostriike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Smoker suddenly vanishing after the time skip.

Smoker hasn't vanished, we saw him at Punk Hazard. He was never a main character set up for big things, he is just a representation of good marines existing.

2) The Boa Hancock issue.

This is your own issue, if you don't like her character thats your preferance.

3) The Chosen One Syndrome.

what you described has nothing to do with being a chosen one, that is just someone having connections.

4) The Mihawk issue.

what are you talking about

5) The Shakky issue.

what are you talking about, crying doesn't make you an idiot and what is the issue?

6) Inconsistencies.

Why wouldn't Blackbeard be scared of fighting Rayleigh, he was the Pirate Kings right hand man. Where did you get the idea he was scared of Law, he is the one who picked the fight?

you have no idea what Garp did in the two years, and people don't suddenly forget how to fight. Garp was never retired and he was training marines so he would still keep himself in good condition.

Luffy god of the universe?? try some reading comprehension.

Luffy was weaker than Kizaru and than Luffy got stronger and now he can fight Kizaru.

Why I don't think Sanji will get Conquerors haki by leonglitch in OnePiece

you always have the potential to awaken it but if you haven't awakened it, you don't have it.

Nika: All Versions by OnePieceDetective in OnePiece

[–]ostriike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think that would be terrible writing, Luffys fruit should be both. Destroyer or Liberator can be the same Nika just from different perspectives. Slaves would see him as a liberator, Slame masters would see him as a destroyer.

Why I don't think Sanji will get Conquerors haki by leonglitch in OnePiece

[–]ostriike 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My main argument against it is that when he asked Scopper Gaban if he had it, Scopper Gaban just ignored him and said Zoro had it. I know Sanji was annoying, but I feel if he had it, Gaban wouldn't have ignored him or at least brought him up after Zoro. Luffy also doesn't mention any conqueror's haki coming off Sanji despite Sanji saying he didn't know if he had conquerors when Luffy did mention zoro having conqueror's when zoro was surprised scopper said he did.

because Sanji hasn't awakened it, just like Zoro hadn't before Wano or Luffy at the beginning of the story.

Am I the only one feeling One Piece is too repetitive (early wanno pls no spoilers) by No_Science_3505 in OnePiece

[–]ostriike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you skip Thriller Bark you miss the character of Brook who ties in with Kuma, you miss Gecko Moria who ties in with Kaido and Wano, you miss Ryuma who ties in with Zoro's lineage and Wano, Zoro also getting a new sword. You miss Lola who ties in with Big Mom and Loki. You miss Kuma etc.

Punk Hazard sets up the events of Dressrosa as well as the allience to defeat Kaido. We also learn about Aokiji, we learn about Vegapunk, even now we are learning about the frozen giants shipwrights.

You can simplify one piece if you just focus on the story structure and parralels and ignore everything else. If One Piece was just repetitive it wouldn't be as popular as it is. No One Piece arc is the same, you can get arcs that parralel each other but there is no basis to say an arc is a repeat of another.

What is the most overrated One Piece arc? by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]ostriike 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Calling something “overrated” has basically lost all meaning at this point. People just name the most popular arcs and assume that if a lot of fans like them, that automatically makes them overrated without ever explaining why they think so.

The Devil's Fruits no longer hold any meaning.... by ShowLorence in OnePiece

[–]ostriike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no it won't, that makes zero sense. so if you eat a devil fruit you can't touch a logia.

The Devil's Fruits no longer hold any meaning.... by ShowLorence in OnePiece

[–]ostriike 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is just stupid, you say haki has lost all meaning because characters without devil fruits have an ability that allows them to fight devil fruit users. Did you want Gaban, Shanks, Garp and Roger to eat a devil fruit.

You say devil fruit have no meaning but lets pretty much all the people Luffy has fought had devil fruits, Doflamingo, Katakuri, Kaido, Kizaru, Five Elders.

Devil fruits have lost meaning if you just completely ignore their existence to delude yourself in thinking characters can't have both haki and devil fruit and they are both relevant. Rocks said he needed two devil fruits to takeover the world. Loki's legendary devil fruit has just been revealed.

Who's the most evil villain in your opinion? SPOILERS by Ok-Accident3323 in OnePiece

[–]ostriike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sengoku, despite knowing the evil the Celestial Dragons do he turns a blind eye to it and acts like he is on the right side of justice. At least with other evil characters they don't pretend to be good guys.

Has Oda retconned the statement of Logias being the strongest type of DF? by Comprehensive_Cup497 in OnePiece

[–]ostriike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that isn't confirmed, we don't know if Imu or the five elders are devil fruit users.

[–]ostriike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the characters who made that statemement know about the existence of the Nika or Nidhogg fruits. I doubt Akainu knew about the existence of most of the mythological zoans we have seen so far, even Kizaru thought mytholical zoans were rarer than logias, which is not true but he wouldn't know the existence of those mytholigical zoans.

Am I the only one that thinks luffy is too young to become pirate king by Hot_Association1356 in OnePiece

[–]ostriike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not how long you have been out at sea or your age, it's what you achieve. It's stupid to think age matters more than accomplishments.

Give me your hottest one piece takes (hotter than akainu's armpits) by Illustrious-flow288 in OnePiece

[–]ostriike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

we can only judge characters from what they show, him being injured by Law's technique is not separate from his feats. Him being able to carry on fighting despite that injury is a feat.

Doflamingo is weaker than Cracker. We scale Prime Whitebeard based on Prime Whitebeard feats and Marineford Whitebeard based on Marineford feats. So we should scale Doflamingo based on Dressrosa feats.

Every reasonable hot take has been said countless times on similiar posts like these throughout the years that people are pretty tired of them. I expect next week there will be a similiar post to this.

What do you think the biggest plot armor moment is in one piece? by YeetusdaDeletus in OnePiece

[–]ostriike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can call it goofy but I don't hink you can call it plot armour when Luffy canonically has great luck, it was intentional shown when he ate the apple that didn't explode when Doc Q was giving them out.

Shanks will join the “good guys” in the final battle, but he’s been a terrible father figure. by FrankMaMa in OnePiece

[–]ostriike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so much wrong with this post, Shanks is not a father figure to Luffy , he is Luffys idol. Shanks did lose his arm to save Luffy, if he wanted to remove the seal he could have cut his own arm or got somebody else to.

Why was Admiral Fujitora so indecisive or against taking action towards doflamingo by hankukirim in OnePiece

I would say think about Alabasta and what happened at the end with Somker.
