NEWS: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Manga Takes Japan's Entire Weekly Top 10 for 1 Full Month

NOW YOU'RE GOING TO WASTE OUR TIME WITH 7 MONTHS OF FLASHBACK FOR CHARACTERS THAT DEAD TELLING US INFORMATION THAT WE ALREADY KNEW?

like this is just unacceptable.

yes, because One piece is too busy telling stories everyone already knows the details and outcome too instead of progressing along with the main storyline..

wish ODa had bothered to do this when Ace blackbeard fought, whitebeard shanks fought..
even the whole battle in Marijoa during the reverie never got any highlights other than characters saying what happened.

NOW YOU'RE GOING TO WASTE OUR TIME WITH 7 MONTHS OF FLASHBACK FOR CHARACTERS THAT DEAD TELLING US INFORMATION THAT WE ALREADY KNEW?

well, except for English only speaking people who couldn't tell that Raftel was actually Laughtale..

literally..only new piece of information provided (other than Oden fighting a boar) that we've learned in 7 months..

like this is just unacceptable. At least grey terminal had a purpose..

this is nothing but filler arc because you are trying to extend the length of the manga..

great..extend it's length..do that..but at least give us new and original stories and plot elements instead of rehashing everything we've already been told.

Like..could you not have shown us what went down at the reverie?

No offense to Demon Slayer..but it's quite mysterious that it's become so popular during the 7 months that One Piece has been disappointing fans. sure that's not the only reason..

but personally I could care less about Most manga currently being published other than One piece detective conan and maybe a few others..

I'm glad someone else pointed out more or less what i'm feeling reading the current arc in one piece i don't find this flash back particularly interesting its like oda is retreading old ground again almost as if oda has done this before but worst this time, most of the new cast is completely bland and boring to me almost as if they are redesigns of previous characters & previous character tropes oda likes to typically write.

For the current villain for example Orochi is just portrayed just plain all evil and scummy & that's it, even tho oda has attempted to justify why he's like this a little, but it just feels unnatural & artificial to me there's nothing about the character that feels genuine just a easy & simple character to easily hate on almost as if he has no depth that makes him seem understandable.

Its like every new character in this arc feels all basic or black & white not a single sense of ambiguity or shades of gray anywhere in the story to me like everyone is playing a basic good guy & bad guy role and being carried around by the whims of the plot.

But whatever those are my thoughts on the current arc right now.

I think everyone in this post responding to Hinotoumei rant post is a bit hypocritical, toxic and out of line & not much better than he is.

I also find it odd when someone does critically criticize some of the suspect & weird writing of oda's story telling direction fan response is typically "meh stop Reading than" i don't really see this level of toxic defending of a manga series other than one piece to me, i really don't get you guys who act like when someone criticizes one piece doesn't matter if it's destructive criticism or intelligently most one piece fans respond with an attitude that comes off across as "how DARE you have a problem with the wano arc". everyone after Hinotoumei's rant post should just chill don't be just as toxic or worst than he is, he wasn't personally attacking you.

And personally yes i do find this Oden flashback weak as well its not impressive anymore in the slightest to me.

But you're also glad that this "toxic" person who literally made up lies mentioned something that you agree with??????? They made their post to shit-stir, none of that was constructive criticism. You can criticize the writing as much as you want, but no one is gonna take you seriously if you just present poorly thought out points without examples.

Like this: "oda is retreading old ground again almost as if oda has done this before but worst this time, most of the new cast is completely bland and boring to me almost as if they are redesigns of previous characters" Anyone can throw that out, how are Queen, Ashura, Kiku, Kawamatsu and Kyoshiro redesigns of previous characters? Am I not seeing something? See how much of a better character Shinobu has become after this flashback. Even a seeminlgy random character like Gyukimaru had his own story.

Regarding Orochi, I recommend you watching some analysis videos on his character. You say nothing about the character feels genuine, I mean a persecution and genocide of his clan would mess you up, especially when you're a kid. No offence, but it comes across that you missed a lot about these characters that you call bland. Anyway if Oden flashback is weak, then no flashback is strong. But to each their own. I guess that's the problem of reading the series weekly with lots of breaks inbetween.

So you didn't prove how those characters are redesigns of other characters and other things I asked you about. As expected you were full of shit too.
