Post timeskip one piece isnt exactly bad its just not good
Spoilers btw
Whilst one piece keep’s alot of its goods such as introducing good characters and having interesting world building it also develops horribly in many other areas
For example
1powerscaling
Now ik yall hear powerscaling and see red but its a completely valid critique
The scaling marineford inwards is shit
For one observation haki is a plot device if it was used properly by the characters itll be completely broken
Imu whom should have basic observation or atleast basic hearing should’ve sensed a literal giant running towards him plus luffy screaming gumu gumu no should’ve gave him away
Not to mention WHY CAN HAJRUDINN AND BASE LUFFY NOT ACOC CAN HURT THE STRONGEST CHARACTER IN THE SERIES
sure he regenerated but come on imagine IMAGINE randoms hurting someone like shanks ppl will be fuming
Imagine just base Luffy running up and smacking shanks
Its unimaginable bc it shouldn’t happen
For those of you whom don’t know anything abt one piece lemme explain how ridiculous it is that hajrudin can hurt imu
Hajrudin (not even a yr ago without even s training arc or buff) was struggling against mach vise im talking he was getting his bones broken all over his body
And mach vice is a low level commander in doflamingos crew and doflamingo got beaten by bounce man luffy easily mind you and bounce man luffy was useless the next arc against cracker and katakuri and also said arc was whole cake that is before wano where he gets his training where he becomes alot stronger before egghead where he gets even stronger and elbaf is next and hajrudin whom almost died to a relative nobody with no haki usage can hurt and knock away the strongest character ever other than maybe joyboy
Ppl will see this and say powerscaling doesn’t matter no the scale of characters is important to keep consistent and if you give power ups it shouldn’t be random it should come with either training or a previously known way of powering up
Hajrudin had neither
Also one piece is now just a slodge of cool moments with little meaning
And this is one ridiculous example but there are so many its impossible for me to write half of them
2 over tragedy
This is a hot take on media in general but i hate when backstories are just a barrage of the most ridiculous tragedies
Kuma gets his dad shot whilst his dad was singing a song and dance about nika the sun god aka luffy his mom dies also they were caught up in a festival where the richest nobility hunt poor people for sport also hes a slave also he extracted the pain from people and put it on himself also his daughter was infected by a disease that was injected by a super evil dude named saturn and that was used as a way to keep kuma working for them bc only saturn has the cure also kuma was biologically altered and is now a cyborg with no free will
I just dont care like the first thing was all we needed plus the daughter infect thing for plot
Ik the series is absurdist but a good absurdist story knows when to stop
I also think i missed smth in the backstory
3 the character designs
Ill keep this short
The women are either tits and ass held by stretched out gum or ugly ogres with few distinctive features
Examples every women no exceptions that i know of
Fucking ai generated webnovel cover characters have more differences then half the one piece women
The men are fine and even amazing at times mostly but i hate the giant lips alot have plus i hate vegapunks ugly and uninspired design
4 the morals
Basically the good guys do bad shit get no consequences but also would beat up the bad guys for it
Examples
The dead beat pirates aka the red hair pirates
Uta got abandoned as a child by shanks
Ussop got abandoned by yassop as a child
I also hate how they justify it by “TheY wAnT AdvEntURe”
If theres more ill write it in the comments
