Discussion Unpopular Opinions

[KuroKarasu]

Hey guys. As the name suggests this thread is about unpopular One Piece opinions. You guys might know the internet meme "Unpopular Opinion Puffin". This one:

I thought it would be fun to do a One Piece version of this since I feel I (and maybe you aswell) have a few opinions that the majority of One Piece fans would disagree with. So here goes:

I think...
...Zoro has too many badass moments.
...Chopper and Nami are useless and uninteresting.
...Sanji isn't much weaker than Zoro
...Coby is uninteresting
...the strawhats have too much luck
...CP9 was a huge disappointment as the 2nd strongest WG secret organization
...Kizaru is the coolest admiral
...Vivi is annoying and I'm glad she doesn't appear often anymore
...the whole Arabasta arc wasn't THAT great

 

[TheLuffySmile]

Let's see...
...I really dislike that chopper & CO ("weak trio") Still shit their pants even after the timeskip. It's been happening literally all.the.time. And it's mostly because I think that going-all-out Chopper is a beast post timeskip.
...Kizaru is the coolest Admiral by far.
...I really really want to see Coby and Garp (Fine Helmeppo as well)
...I actually like DD's crew a lot and I think they're much stronger than they've shown so far, especially the family leaders.
...I actually want Bartolomeo to join the crew so bad.
...I actually think that Ace was strong as hell, especially for his age. And that he was one of the top players in the NW.

...Had Ace gone all out from the start VS Blackbeard he would have won. He was careless and overconfident.
...I actually believe that DF's are artifical to begin with, so DD's "Smiles" aren't really fake DF they're just a new generation in the early research stages so to speak.

 

[HereNThere]

Hmm, this'll be a rather fun topic, lol.

I think...
...Ace wasn't as strong as the other Whitebeard Commanders, at least, Marco, Jozu, and Vista.
...Crocodile is stronger than most people think and he's just a victim of the Pre-Haki days.
...The time skip has been rather slow in terms of pacing and action.
...Shanks swordsmanship will be revealed to be comparable to Mihawk's, despite his handicap.
...Sanji being a chef has no barring on his strength and he's up there with Luffy and Zoro in strength as he's been since the first part of the series.

That's about it for now. Although I must say, unlike you, I do find Coby interesting and hope to see his growth more.

- Luffy is more interesting when has his mature moment and act like a captain.
- Other than Jinbei, the straw hats doesn't need another crew member.

 

[SharkBait]

Chopper, Nami, Robin, Franky, and Brook need to be killed off since all are too weak to be in Luffy's ideal crew.

Goa Kingdom flashback arc was best arc.

 

[KuroKarasu]

- Ace deserved his death

 

[TheLuffySmile]

- Smoker losing to Law as easily as he did is not worthy of being to Luffy what Garp was to Roger. He needs to power up.


Love Smoker, he is awesome but that's the cold hard truth from me.

 

[hawk eye]

yonkou>=admirals.
vista isn't as strong as people make him out to be, mihawk was nowhere near going all-out against him, plus he was even distracted i dare say that law would beat him(due to his hax ability).
MF croc > MF luffy.
magellan is stronger than all the VA's.
ace/ivankov/brainy kuma/magellan/shiryu/cavendish/BB are haki users.
yami teach is above the TS SNs.

 

[UnknownMugiwara]

- Ace deserved his death

Why? :O Other than his piracy, what has he done to deserve it?

I assume he is referring to when Ace chose the stupidest moment to channel his father and attack Akainu for insulting WB.

 

[M3J]

Oda's attempts at humor with other characters tend to fail. Perfect examples are the Doflamingo crew's quirks. Diamante contradicting Doflamingo, and Trebol invading personal space were annoying and dumb.

Otohime's flashback was absolute crap and boring, just as bad as Chopper's.

Zoro and Sanji are far more badass/have more badass moments than Luffy.

Oda and One Piece are far too overrated and overhyped. And this is coming from someone who loves One Piece.

Fishman Island does not deserve the criticism it gets, especially when read in a batch.

Davy Back arc was a good mini arc and an important mini arc because it foreshadowed what was going to happen.

 

[SharkBait]

One Piece is overrated mainly after Marineford its just failed to be as exciting as hardcores try to make it.

Baffled that one believes Ace needed to die as I am for people justifying it that it is important for Luffy's development. I dont think, if we apply this to the real world, that someone dying is vital for someone to experience growth...A good writer could still deliver powerful emotions and character growth without the need to kill people.

 

[KuroKarasu]

Yep. Nothing left to say to WB imo but he turned around and basically suicided just because Akainu provoced him. Pretty stupid imo. And he made Luffy risking his life pointless by sacrificing his own life for whitebeards pride (which didn't change because of what Akainu said in the first place).

Nah, the entire series as a whole is overrated.

- Magellan was portrayed as super weak except for his fruit. Luffy could easily dodge punches and Magellan got damage by one of Luffy's punches. This might be over exaggerated a bit but Nami would seem like a fair opponent if he didn't have a DF.

I believe him to be a victim of the "Pre-haki days" just like Crocodile. Imo MF Crocodile > MF Luffy. But agreed, he would be much much weaker without his fruit.

-I love Bartolomeo and want him as a SH. he reminds me of Franky's uniqueness when he was first introduced.

Agreed and agreed. Well he's fine as an ally too but Bartolomeo is soo badass.

About Crocoboy and Magellan: I agree that the haki introduction hurt them quite a bit. The problem I see here is that in order to count to the strongest of the strongest you have to have insane basic fighting power aswell like Van Ogre stated was the case for Ace. I mean Crocodile and Magellan both didn't seem to stand much of a chance in terms of attack power and speed to pre-timeskip Luffy. And we all know what he could do to New World veterans/Admirals/Vice Admirals - nothing. He lost in speed and power. Akainu could've easily beaten pre-timeskip Luffy without his fruit aswell the way I see it. So how can people like Enel/Crocodile/Magellan wo were inferior to Luffy in basic fighting power be relevant just because of their devil fruit? It doesn't make much sense. They were portrayed as too weak and stay weak in my opinion forever. Which is a shame.

(And about Crocoboy being more useful in the war: He has higher ranged attacks, more experience and he is a logia and not everybody at Marineford was a haki user. Also he didn't rush to Ace so he didn't encounter as many big shots as Luffy. Imo Doflamingo could've easily killed Crocodile if he had used haki - which he is obviously capable of)

 

[MOYcano 0.23]

Jimbei is already confirmed to be the next nakama, thus soft-core fans should stop nominating any random character

 

[TheLuffySmile]

-The next SH will be more menacing than the current crewmembers.
-Jinbe won't be an ally, he will join.

 

[Chompp]

...the strawhats have too much luck

I agree, and I think especially Luffy has too much luck.

- Luffy is more interesting when has his mature moment and act like a captain.

Another thing I wholeheartedly agree. At first it was funny when Luffy acted stupidly and all but now I'm kinda tired of it and think that Luffy should act more matured.
