Oh yeah I certainly agree with that, I still enjoy it and the writing is still mostly decent, which certainly is an achievement considering it's running time.

I also think Shinokuki is overly negative and I wouldn't put money on anything Oda says when it comes to planned lengths. Was just pointing out that there was some criticism I thought was fair in there.

The bloat is real, can't deny it. The rest of the "arguments" are just subjective speculation, won't comment on that further.

There has been some criticism in this thread during the years, however at least for me I'm enjoying the manga even though it does have shortcomings. I feel most of the disappointment comes from the fact that the manga peaked a long time ago and naturally can't keep it's quality on that level all the time. Compared to other titles, such as Bleach and Naruto, Oda has done a hell of a job considering it's been 25 years.



Agreed on the length of the manga. Oda is probably burned out and doesn't have the same motivation he used to have. I'm hoping his motivation to write the last arc revives his former prime. It was just ridiculous to see only the hardcore one piece fans here on TL forum not mentioning anything wrong with what was happening to one piece. Seems like all the non biased fans have moved on from posting here and dropped the series.

you’re not being critical. you’re just whining about how much you don’t like what’s been released without offering anything but conjecture.

the plot threads you desperately want answered have been vaguely hinted at for literally decades (since probably Drum Kingdom) while Oda has done so many arcs with so many characters and subplots that we’ve enjoyed while the story progresses. if it is that painful for you to have to see so many “pointless characters” and so many scenes that you don’t appreciate then I highly suggest not reading the manga then because you’re going to get a lot of those when you read own piece.


No one is enjoying these subplots except hardcore fans. He got complaints and literally said in interview that he's not gonna write for his fans but for his own entertainment. One piece peaked in MF when MF was literally 20 chapters long. Meanwhile Wano tanked so hard and some people joked if oda replacement was writing the story. Bro when you say plot threads have been hinted. Oda literally just uses these hints as hype tools and revistis 400 chapters later. Oda is a writer who prioritizes hype first and then tries to figure shit out later. It became apparent when Oda was like a punch won't be a satisfying defeat for kaido. Well Luffy just punched him and defeated him. Oda got no detailed plan and he knows he doesn't have to plan shit out because he doesn't have his own rules/structure to follow. Oda fans will gladly praise him and say GODAOMG!! Literally casual readers dropped it and keep chiming in to ask me what happened in one piece. They just shake their heads in disbelief when I tell them Luffy now defeated kaido after dying 4x. They're like sheesh one piece is just utter trash now.

"No one is enjoying these subplots except hardcore fans!" guy says while conveniently ignoring OP is one of the most popular manga on the planet right now. I guess it just has a lot of hardcore fans. Taking your own whining and plastering them over the reader base is such conceit.

To be fair, it’s hard to read over a thousand chapters and not be a hardcore fan. Whenever I’ve suggested One Piece to other anime/manga fans the reason why they don’t try One Piece is that it’s too long. It’s not something you can jump into at any point either, you really need to start from the beginning.

So, you have to be pretty hardcore and it seems that it’s still one of the most popular mangas in the world despite requiring people to be hardcore.
Playing better than standard requires deviation. This divergence usually results in sub-standard play.

Man, Shanks is a one trick pony. Seems like the only thing he can do is look constipated and knock out noobies. I hope he's at least got another trick up his sleeve. Maybe a robotic arm? Maybe a devil fruit? Idk, he just doesn't seem all that impressive to me.

The dude literally just scared away an Admiral with his mere presence, and that isn't impressive?

LMAO. We just learned Conq makes your attacks super effective and he shows a massive Conq feat, but sure, noob killer.

If Shanks showed up with a robotic arm this thread would be discussing how Oda has no new ideas left because Kid already has that.

True true. He also did the most damage to the straw hat of any char in the series. Not even bolo breath singed it but buggy put 3 holes right through it

Funny enough I believe Oda did say at some point that Buggy could be one of the strongest characters. Might have just decided to make that a thing after all.
