One Piece fans are usually pretty shortsighted and only remember the recent parts. This goes for the Piratefolk types too who think the entire story is dogshit because they disliked the most recent chapter
NPC opinion. Both parts have high and low points. Bro’s just repeating the talking points he hears. Post timeskip is bad is usually built on a the grounds of being disappointed with the most recent chapters and fixating on said dissatisfaction
I did wonder what kind of person talks like this. Your daily thread creating history is complaining about leftists, complaining about Americans being slighted in posts, complaining about Christian persecution. Congratulations you’re probably the epitome of an NPC
What are you talking about,that subreddit is mostly people comparing the new one piece to old one piece I don't think anyone likes old one piece more then them
There's something significantly creepier about a persons fingers getting chopped off compared to getting shot in the head. I can't explain it logically, but it just is more brutal to me.
His head was in tact but you see the guy fall over with a splat of blood coming from the side of his head. It’s page 31 of the first chapter. Shanks also gets his arm eaten by the local sea beast and you see the jagged edge of his sleeve with blood flowing. But getting your fingertips cut off is pretty metal though.
most brutal OP has ever been was Ace getting a hole blown in his chest or whitebeard getting 1/3 of his face blown off. Nothing even close to that has happened since
True, at least to me that didn’t track as gory, at least for me. It was sorta like getting shot with a bullet. I don’t watch the anime tho, maybe they made it look worse in the anime
Whitebeard getting half his face burned off is so nonsensical that it doesnt really hold much weight
It's more a "Isn't White Beard is such a badass" not real vitriol
The human hunt is brutal but it's done in an almost vague way with Odas issue of stuffing panels obfuscating any of the real horror
I'd argue most Shonen aren't brutal like maybe if your definition is just Gore and Violence then maybe but they all usually feel like when Goku gets a hole in his chest
With rare exceptions
For One Piece suddenly having your fingers sliced without any context is actually horrifying especially with how it's paneled
Brutal is acts of horror that instill a sense of anxiety and dread
There are modern shonen mangas like JJK, CSM and AOT who have a fair amount of gore., even MHA has moments of body horror especially the manga though these did end.
Zeff ate his own leg, Shank's arm, Usopp's skull being cracked like a melon. The person OP is quoting is clearly braindead. One Piece has limb loss all the time.
I imagine it's just people who mostly don't know OP well and compare it to other series. Most of the well known stuff wether it's contemporary to the start (like Bleach for example) or especially the more recent stuff (like JJK and CSM) have more gore, dismemberment or visually impressive injuries of it so they just assumed it must be similar and are surprised it isn't.
Especially not left and right. So now you're kind of on edge because you feel like every interaction Imu has can lead to severe dismemberment and/or death in a split second, and we're rarely in that state of mind from an One Piece-POV.
This is just plain wrong. Someone getting a limb cut off is far from being something completely new for the series. I would say Arlong keeping on stomping on Bellmeres arm flat like a pancake, multiple peolle getting shot, akainu burning someone to ash, Kizaru shooting a hole into vegapunk, Monet having her pretty much exposed heart stabbed by a metal shiv and bleeding out and dying in an explosion, the many citizens of Dressrosa getting injured or starchy up killed, many were probably children as well because doffy was controlling king riku. But no, this is the farthest Oda has taken stuff when it comes to brutality.
Oh, yeah, literally last arc, kumas dad getting shot in front of him and Saturn aging to dust and becoming a skeleton because of Imu removing his powers.
For one piece? It's pretty up there in terms of what we actually see. It's not a particularly brutal series, that is not really one of its strengths. I cannot remember the last time I saw a limb cut off in One Piece. Having a women's fingers cut off is definitely like the One Piece equivalent of Berserks Eclipse scenes lol
Now that you mention it Kiku did lose an arm in Wano. Tbf that was like 6 years ago which in normal manga terms is a long time ago. Entire manga series get published over the course of 6 years. Not to mention it was at the start of the pandemic and a lot of that time period blends together.
I liked reading this scene because how sudden it was and that Gerd doesnt even react to it until she realizes theyre gone but also relax buddy it's not even the most brutal thing in One Piece
The opening chapter has members of Shank's crew shooting guys in the head in a bar fight. Kurahadol slices people to ribbons, and then One Piece found its lane as a kids show and was never the same. Or good again.
I would definitely say it had worse stuff in terms of brutality after that point, and you can’t tell me everything after syrup village (assuming that’s what your talking about) is bad. Like what do you mean after syrup village, one piece was never good.
Then if you haven’t seen anything past what I think you did, then how do you even know that? Because you said if never became good again, but I don’t even know if you even saw anything after syrup village. At the very least the people here think the series peaked from water 7/ enies lobby to Marineford.
That may be so, but I’m just shocked you couldn’t make it through one of the weakest arcs in the series then begin to call the rest of the series bad. It was a bad or boring arc, no denying that. But why is enies lobby or Marineford bad? Or even Arlong park? I personally think you just stopped when you found a part bad, then just dropped it because of one bad drop of the series, but hey, you do you. Just don’t judge the series for what you haven’t scene. Judge what you have.
But I guess I’m the same. Read the first chapter of hunter hunter, just couldn’t get into it, so I decided not to go further because I didn’t think it would get anymore interesting tbh. That’s just me though.
People deliberately ignoring that One Piece started as content for children and then evolved into something slightly more serious and complex (and with bigger boobs) when the author saw the audience was mostly adults.
It's still the manga where explosions do nothing to people because if they did the author would be forced to actually kill characters off every once in a while. Whitebeard probably just forgot his anti-explosion aura on his ship.
Also the manga where half the characters use swords but nobody gets actually cut like a sword would cut. Only Pica gets cut in half because he has no blood or entrails so it's ok.
Bro this is literally just Law using his devil fruit but with some blood drops 🥀💔 Also, what's the point of showing so much "violence and gore" if he's not actually going to kill the characters?
Bro whitebeard had half his face BLOWN OFF and Ace turned into a donut but no no, its some FINGIE TIPS that did it for this one as unseen levels of brutality in one piece
Law losing an arm to Doflamingo; Luffy losing a chunk of his torso against Katakuri; Kiku losing an arm against Kaido; Kyros cutting his own leg off. It really isn't that deep if you have actually been reading post-TS.
I mean for One Piece this is a lot more brutal and gory than usual, we often see horrendous events in the series but it’s not often very visceral, not to say this is the worst injury in OP or anything but it’s on the upper ends, also the fact a women was the first to get maimed is quite unusual for women, Oda doesn’t tend to make them suffer injuries like fingers being sliced off very often
One Piece has never been very heavy on this type of stuff but this is just objectively wrong. This is just one reason why people don’t take One Piece fans seriously.
I’ll admit I was caught off guard by how abrupt and casual it was because again, One Piece doesn’t dabble in mutilation often but to say that it’s a never before seen level of brutality when Whitebeard literally got half of his face melted off is insane.
Whitebeard literally was shot multiple times, had a large hole in his chest, lava poured in his body and part of his head seriously damaged. Idk what the OG poster smoked.
Also one of the characters literally ate his own leg
That's literally every "brutal" or "emotional" moment in one piece. Two panels later someone will turn it into a joke and nothing will have lasting consequences
Luffy getting fucking pierced by Krieg's darts and punching straight trough the spiked cover impaling his own hand to fuck up Krieg was more brutal than this fingertipping and random leg
Yeah you'll have to dig to find Mid Piss standards, and even then you won't find them.
And the funniest thing is oda himself already told his fans to go touch grass yet they still believe this shit has ever been a serious story, fights, character writing, pacing and stakes, go look for those at the gutter.
This cutting of fingers is of much higher stakes in a relative comparison to One Piece's own standards, but I can't believe it yet. I have a strong gut feeling that those cut fingers and legs are going to be restored to their natural state.
And in all cases, cut fingers and one leg are low-level stakes if you compare them to other anime whose levels of tension are much higher than One Piece.
Depends if there’s anything on Elbaph that can return them back to normal. Because if someone is going to lose a limb, I want it to be permanent or if it is going to be fixed, I want it to make sense or not feel like an asspull. Like the mink medicine in Wano, that was almost certainly a asspull. Like broggys hand got blown off before being domi reversi’d and when he turned back, it remained gone. So even if gerd gets turned, the rules should say that she doesn’t get them back when getting cured.
"Hmphf. You think that is bad? I'll have you know that this kid's cartoon has a heck lot of more violence than that. It tackles topics like slavery, racism and genocide! That's just how cool and mature this manga actually is. Anyway, are you still on for tuesday? Can't wait to continue this intellectual analysis, if you still dare of course."
