One Piece's BIGGEST Problem: Change. (Wano + Egghead Island Arc Spoilers!)

I pray and hope that you enjoy this video! This is a video targeting what I specifically thought the show lacked, not to hate on the show but to more rather help understand that each show has it's flaws. One Piece is still top tier regardless of what I say so I hope you continue to enjoy Oda's creation despite my take on that. God Bless Y'all and see y'all in the next one!

Chopper not being much of a fighter anymore does kinda suck//:

he nearly beat queen what are you on about

[@animusvt]

I think it was said by a bunch of other fans that the repetitiveness of conflicts in various islands are basically foreshadowing of what's to come. Or rather, they have been small scale samples of the bigger picture of the world's struggle. Just my two cents. Now that we're approaching the end, I personally see them not as repeating conflicts, but the actual world motif. This is the kind of leadership/power struggle that has been inspired by the actions of those in power who established the known history. It just makes the world feel a little more alive with a history that affects various nations similarly despite being separated by the seas. Still, I love your take on not letting the characters be their own the way they used to be. Totally agree with the Chopper point. But I guess, maybe it's because the part where Oda was establishing personalities and relationships is over. Or maybe, these moments are now caught up in larger scale problems and heavier threats in the new world. Kudos to the analysis tho!

[@crocoboi7936]

Yeah history also repeats itself

[@beyondtopic]

Thank you for this! And I agree with you, these reoccurring moments symbolize how corrupt the world government is and it's impact in the One Piece World. I think this focus on the story made Oda feel like their character wasn't as important to focus on since we technically "know them already"

[@dandyzoran4891]

All of them have changed in some ways they just kept their core traits.

[@beyondtopic]

I see what you mean, It's moments like Sanji losing blood and not being able to fight in Fishman Island that I find annoying however.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

[@kubz3407]

Gonna be honest here, most of the gripes you have with the characters can be fully blamed on Toei, especially with Sanji and the other characters whose gags are exaggerated I’d suggest you read the manga because that’s by far the purest form of the story, and while the small moments on the ship are rarer, the vibe is a lot closer to pre timeskip

[@beyondtopic]

That sounds good, and I'm truly thinking about it, I just don't know where to start I guess since I just recently caught up actually. Although Toei made changes to the show I don't appreciate, I'm grateful for the beautiful animation

[@kubz3407]

@@beyondtopic honestly for the best experience I’d recommend reading the entire series from chapter 1 But that’s prolly not feasible rn, so I’d suggest you start with Egghead Island cuz that’s some of the most egregious revisionism from Toei And yeah the animation is great, only issue is that they pad out episodes by extending gag scenes and fanservice scenes

[@kimi1440]

Great video!! Heavy on the melanin robbery

[@beyondtopic]

Thanks KimiToei needs to give them that back ASAP!!!

[@denizkaragullu6239]

I agree with almost everyting. Great video! I just think Sanji has a little bit more character developement and Oda seem to be doing interesting stuff with his Germa bloodline. People look past the good parts of Sanji's character because of his pervyness (Which is understandable, not blaming anyone)

[@denizkaragullu6239]

I am also making my bf watch the show, and I realized how much I miss the characters being characters. Nami is actually doing cool stuff and affecting the plot. Her knowledge in meteorology and navigation actually comes in clutch at times pre-ts. This might seem like a nitpick but when they were entering Egghead and there was a giant warm eddy, my first thought was "Oh, Nami is going to do something with her clima-tact to save Bonney!". But then Zoro just cuts the eddy open? Like, doesn't Zoro already have a bunch of cool moments? Why can't the members with less screen time get some attention? We have been in egghead for 60 chapters now and I don't think we are getting any Franky focus. Which is crazy when you think about it tbh. Just imagine if we went back to Reverse Mountain to Laboon and Zoro started playing Bink's Sake with his swords or something. I expect something like that at this point lol

[@crocoboi7936]

@@denizkaragullu6239to be fair franky saved luffy’s life in egghead and went up against a goresei, the other straw hats all protected robin and sanji is coming in really clutch. Brook also got the thousand sunny to safely

[@denizkaragullu6239]

@@crocoboi7936 Yeah but Franky didn’t get any actual plot focus outside of combat. He worked in Vegapunk's hometown for 2 whole years. I thought we would get more stuff related to that

Can you give me some good reasons to watch dragon ball. I really cant get past the old pdf man jokes and lackluster action.

[@beyondtopic]

I'm not totally sure what old pdf man is, but Dragon Ball's action is far from lackluster! And anyone who watches One Piece would LOVE Dragon Ball since it's the blueprint! I'm assuming you are a fan? :)

whats with the copper slander he nearly beat queen in wano

[@beyondtopic]

I think that was a keypoint! But this happens 1/10 of the time. Not to mention, I'm not too sure he was gonna beat queen. Looked more like stalling but I could be wrong.

[@thegamingpineapple4111]

@@beyondtopic maybe yeah but he was still holding his ground I do agree but he’s definitely getting better

[@Aqua_End]

Sanji's gag of the whole women thing got soo old so quick. I got tired of it around like Enies Lobby. And also Nami too, she's like the Sakura of the straw hat crew. And don't get me wrong she has some scenes where she shows the most loyalty to Luffy... but then she goes back to punching him in the face when he does something dumb💀

[@beyondtopic]

Well Nami plays the more important roles of the crew so i see her as more of a Bulma. I do agree with you though on the punching part, Toei needs to lock in.
