Great chapter IMO. Tons of good stuff. I loved it. I especially loved how Oda finally put the logia question to bed.
I'm not. Not at all. It's the nugget of creativity. I'm a creative person I'll explain how he does this simply in three steps.Originally Posted by Carnage
1. He doesn't make big entrances for unimportant people if they aren't powerful in one way or another.
2. He worries only about the people essential to the story as longer term players being the meat of the story.
3. He uses minor guest characters whose names we don't even know as important parts of the story (the pirate who shot Kizaru wasn't important to the over all story, but what he did was important to the over all ground work of what Kizaru could do)
4. He spreads out his important people, story lines, and things like that over time, instead of smashing all of them together. This lets us as the readers do several things.
a. It lets us think and froth over what the character has as a new power, group or affiliation we've never heard of (like Dragons revolutionists or Boroque works) or a connection to Luffy and his crew.
b. Our brains don't explode from the over powering characters getting introduced one after another.
c. We don't get bored with a bunch at one time, rather then none later. Or none for a long time after a bunch.
(he introduced Aokji on his bike, and left him alone till Long ring Long land to show what he could do. He introduced Ace but didn't show what he could really do until the Billions crew and BB's fight on Banaro. And we still don't know what most of the Shichibukai can do when they get serious, but he introduced them and we sampled)
BTW, I can't help but wonder after seeing Kizaru fight... who do suppose is faster, Kizaru or Enel? And is is just me or is the drawing of the series going up?
I mean
1. Kizaru looks like the actual actor they chose
2. The detail in the drawing is less sketch and more drawing
3. People and settings are looking much more real. But it still keeps the OP style
Another BTW. I've been saying that Kuma was my least favorite out of almost anybody in the series. I'm glad AssertN finally lead the movement against him. I hate the guy.
@deathbooz: um what? For the last time, he's an admiral. Anyone that has that title Fleet Admiral, or Shichibukai would be that strong easily. In fact heres a little poll to justify things that I've been thinking about posting.
Pending that all of the Admirals and Sengoku (fleet admiral) are all logia users. What do you think happened to the them?
My scenario: the admirals gain ranks, lots of height, and fighting power, and became admirals. Then, (to make them supremely powerful) Vegapunk made, or told the marines where to find the best logia fruits
AssertN scenario: the admirals weren't admirals at all at first, but had eaten the fruit long ago, then chose a path of justice rather than piracy, and were instantly made Admirals within a year or two of being in the marines
AssertN's is valid but I think mine has some backing to it as well. We both actually think they're height is important to the rank they have as intimidation.
