Weekly release doesn't bother me at all. It takes like 5 minutes to read a chapter. It's just that these past few chapters have felt very "meh" for an arc climax. Binge reading can take a whole lot of time. I don't have a lot of spare time. Reading the weekly release is the best strategy for me.
That's just the consequence of them having regenerative powers and the paradox that it creates. Oda can show more graphic violence because they are immortal and regenerate but that makes it seem like they take more damage/ are weaker.
To be honest,,, i admit the same,, but i tought even they being weak, the Swords would make a WHOLE WORLD of difference,, even more than the BUFF,,,,himself. So far Sommer's sword ,, considering is a freaking legendary 900 years sword,, revived by Imu's itself,,doesnt seem to be a HUGE issue for Zoro,, i tought it was goin to cause lot more trouble,, more than Summer's itself and his D.F Buff... but doesn't seems to be the case.
One thing is hearing it the other is experiencing it. Zorro is not the theory type. He needs to experience it first hand. Right now he tries stuff and sees what works well and also remembers some statements that make more sense to him now. He also saw that the hand is not regenerating so he knows hes doing something right.
Yes, thats what i thought when 1st see spoiler, then again its battle shonen, do i want progres? Yes do i want action in my shonen battle? Also yes, to be honest i will not satifices if Oda finish it only showing how its end, but i do hope next we will done with Sommers n to de next battle.
Aaand I still feel the same. Still underwhelming. But does the fight look cool? Yes. Do I get to see Sommers suffer and get scared literally of death? Yes!
WHY Usopp? Is this an inside joke I'm missing? ANYBODY but Usopp. I DON'T GET IT.He's not really struggling though.
First time he's really trying and all it took is to remember what Mihawk said that particularly random one time.
I'm pretty surprised someone like Zoro, of all people, didn't try to master this from the get-go.
He faced stronger opponents than this clown. He had many opportunities. I don't buy the convenient memory loss. Like come on... A dude who wants to be the world's best swordman since he's 8 forgot this crucial piece of information ?
Just wait for his fight against Shiryu. It will be the same thing but with observation Haki + the struggle.
The reason I'm personally getting impatient is that I know exactly what Oda will do since he does the same thing over and over and over.
One arc, one color of M&M. Same chocolate, different shell.
Oda is that teacher who spent his 5 first years preparing his lessons like a maniac, then spent the next 25 years reusing them with just a few tweaks here and there. And I feel like I’ve been held back 25 times.
It was so cool back then, now it's oozing laziness.
And I blame the Sanji and Zoro stans and powerscalers for all the time Oda wastes "developing" them at the expense of the other members of the crew.
I'd rather get some lore instead of predictable fights involving underwhelming characters.
I'm trying to not be too picky as far as character development is concerned.
talking about lore, the hole in Adam will be written in the books of Elbaph as the legendary outburst of the God of War and the Sun God against the most fearsome enemy of the Giants' history, and as the time when both of them allied against him. one of the worst chapters of the arc, not even killing him on it.
Hence why you generally only see actual lethal damage done by lower Strawhats against major enemies in these type of situations, because the damages are irrelevant and are getting handwaved away.
I understand what you meant - but disagree in this "Glass canons" - clearly Sommers and Killingham as God Knights are ate YKC1+ - they are indeed careless, ofc bc of the regen and the fact that only powerful attacks with coc infused are able to deal damage on they - but in overall, every G.K right now would easily defeat every supernova, every paradise, and almost every new world pirates (at least until Y.K Commander levels ) they are just not really fighters, they are much more like Sanjis brothers and Germa 66 - not drive by battle, rather they are strong bc of all the shenanigans both undergo (Germa genetic modifications, G.K magical modifications) and both fight bc the orders they receive, bc beyond that they prefer to live they rich life in the upper world
That was a joke.
I think,,a way to argue he CAN'T it was cause he is UNABLE to hit Womans to begin with ,,, such mental state,, seems like something impossible to use COC,, however that doesn't apply to males-- Killingham being one, so for that side it will be a matter of KNOWLEDGE and SKILLS, in a similar way to ZORO, or anyone triying to grasp it...
I've gone over that a number of times but I can't buy the reason Sanji hasn't used conqueror haki being his unwillingness to hit women. The series appears to be building up to the mental state required to use it being unique to each individual. But at the same time it is about willpower, the capacity for the user to be unapologetically himself. Perhaps even a personal disposition to impose your will upon others. So the idea that Sanji can't be a conqueror because he refuses to hit women seems increasingly silly. There's something deeply personal in Sanji that is keeping him from asserting his will. Sanji doesn't avoid hitting women because of trauma, he avoids it because of his own sense of pride. If a conqueror doesn't want to hit women then a conqueror doesn't hit women. Because a conqueror does as a conqueror damn well pleases. I think Sanji hitting women could even go as far as having the opposite effect, it'd ruin him forever. It'd destroy his pride, sense of self and willpower.
