I feel like I'm missing at least one chapter, holy hell. i prefer it this way actually. the result was obvious and honestly compared to kaido theyre just fodder. a few swings of his club and everyones gonna get knocked out so why invest panels into that. i appreciate the exclusion of those scenes in favour of pacing | ||

Imo the difference between them was very obvious by the way Kiku's arm got cut off and showing the rest would have been a bit of a waste. Maybe it could have helped getting the readers a bit more mad at him, but I think we had enough buildup and it's about time we get to the actual fights. Oda did bad job showcasing scabbards. They're literally fillers/fodders to Kaido. I don't even care for their dedication to Oden. I didn't feel a thing. I felt more emotion for that random soldier running towards his death in AoT. Just move aside and let Luffy handle it. I really hope Oda focuses on our protagonists and not add shit/usless characters lol | ||

I think if there was an intention to not have to show every last fight to it's conclusion this has been a very good way to do so. | ||

Disappointing that they were taken out offscreen in chapter 999, but at least this way it was done in such a way that they aren't definitely dead, like smiling and having a flashback next to an exploding bomb. wasn't it pretty obvious they stood no chance vs kaido? At the end, it didn't even matter. Their efforts resulted in nothing. Kaido already healed himself with awakening anyway. Oda could have written this better. Maybe assist luffy and supernovas rather than them going solo on kaido. During the battle, we could have seen actual sacrifices and actually damaging Kaido. Oda had to take that shonen way. Only protagonists fight main villans and BEAT them! | ||

Your whole healed himself with awakening and they did nothing is just own own personel interpretation that doesn't bear out with what has been depicted. | ||

They were slowly built up over time before and during this arc. They managed to cut Kaido, who can apparently survive being executed multiple times by the world government and was only ever cut by Oden before. We all know Luffy is set up to be the one to defeat Kaido, just like how Luffy is always the one set up to defeat the main boss every arc. Many chracters fought with Doflamingo with far less set up and they weren't offscreen despite us knowing that it will be Luffy yet again to defeat him. Doesn't make it any less disappointing that they were essentially defeated offscreened. Your whole healed himself with awakening and they did nothing is just own own personel interpretation that doesn't bear out with what has been depicted. True true, I can be wrong here but did one piece fandom really care about the scabbards? Last time I saw, people just want Luffy, Zoros, and the supernovas in actions because we all "know" it doesn't matter at end. Scabbards will be slapped down hard.. | ||

It's too explicit that the scabbards are fine with dying as long as they stand up against Kaido and Orochi, so I don't even know why Oda would let them all seemingly live (as shown in ch1000). Maybe Kin or someone else will do some massive self-sacrificial move akin to Oden that eases the job of the alliance. | ||

Oda can't kill of characters which leads to EVERY situation that our strawhats have no weight/threat. | ||

Oda probably offscreened the scabbard because he want them to live. Doesn't make it any less disappointing considering the 300 chapters and 5 years we had of them. They deserve better. But then again this is a manga where having your head chopped off or stabbed in the heart through the body or skull cracked in half or missing half your head or being next to an explosive bomb doesn't kill you. Heck, actually dying doesn't kill you if Brook is anything to go by. In One Piece, people don't die if they are killed. | ||
