Discussion Character's performance that underwhelmed you

[Omnion_1990]

The yonkos have certainly been power of plot nerfed. BB has been taking major l’s although he probably will kill garp

how? BB has been curb stomping everyone. he literally been stealing the worlds top devil fruit users and become a yonko. the yonkos power doesnt just come from them but the totality of their crews. along with the shibuki and the admirals the FOUR OF THEM were able to be kept in check. their power seems pretty balanced. they should be strong, but not so op. BB on the other hand having newgates power and the literal hacks power of the yami yami is going to the top.

Cody's performance ain't looking too well right now. Maybe he should be demoted.

The Three Calamities, Tobbi Roppo, Kaidou (to an extent), Big Mom, Kid.

Is there a reason to be disappointed by Koby's feats? I don't think he lost to people he shouldn't have lost to. It's more his behavior that's the problem.

 

[Fox666]

Koby is doing exactly as I expected. He was never implied to be too strong, quite the opposite, but was thrown in with the top tiers.

There's no reason to think koby has monstrous strength... What's noteworthy about him is his quick progress from a below average nobody to a capable haki user in two years. I am not really sure of where to place his strength though. I suppose he is at least stronger than pre time skip luffy now? Koby would appear to be the weakest fighter that is able to competently use armor and observation haki. His reaction to kyros would suggest kyros is well ahead of him, which tracks because kyros could take on diamante. Whom I don't think is good enough to be an executive to a yonko but would do an ok headliner/fighter. I wonder if koby can take on, say, bellamy or deringer... I am inclined to thinking koby would still lose to either.

I think that plenty of characters have been undermined in terms of power vs hype/infamy, but Jack still takes the cake.

He went from assaulting a ship with Sengoku, Fujitora and Tsuru and making it out alive, to being defeated by doggo after a couple of small losses.

Honestly I was partially when I said he should be demoted. But I do think that last promotion to vice admiral (or was it rear admiral?)came out of knowhere. And here was a chance too show some of his fighting skill. Not say he should have K.O one of the captains but him fight someone like say would have gone along ways.

And yes his behavior is kinda a problem.

But I am prepared to take L with grace given 1088 spoilers.

Koby is still a captain.

Koby was incorrectly called a Rear Admiral in chapter 956, but that was corrected in the volume.

Hence the importance for the translator to get his shit together. Lately, he mistakenly referred to the Firgerland guy as the former ruler of God Valley until Sandman corrected him. Without Sandman's intervention, this error could have been published and would have been too late to correct.

It has been noted that Hibari and Akainu share the same way of speaking, but this wasn't conveyed in the official translation. Oda drops clues in the Japanese language, but the translator may not pick up on them effectively.

I think it was an error in the Japanese version

The error in the English text was promptly corrected within the same week. Normally errors in the Japanese text are corrected in the volumes, as evidenced by the correction made to Katakuri's devil fruit. While Jimbei initially referred to it as a logia in the manga, it was later corrected to a paramecia in the volume.

 

[hokageji]

Too me Wano arc was underwhelming specially when it came to characters, but the most disappointing was Kinemon. He didn't show anything impressive with his fire cutting technique, underwhemling DF ability with no wit to use them in battle, and the worst possible person to lead them.

Steven Paul is usually amazing at it. He's bound to make an occasional mistake or two. Sandman's native japanese speaker (i believe) so he's likely to be able to provide more context.
