it will not happen but if they take to leave behind one, who would they leave? will it be usopp? or brook?
 
I don't think oda would write such a story.
People would be devastated if a strawhat gets killed now.
Or are you saying a fight where that member would come back again?
 
They are too loyal to leave someone behind so it wouldn't happen in the plot itself. 
However if I was given a choice, I'd choose Jimbei. I have no idea what purpose he stores, and what new dynamic he adds to the crew.

Jinbei is not a strawhat yet. They wouldn't leave him behind if they had spent time with him like the rest.

I didn't talk about them leaving him behind. I was talking about me being given a choice, an artistic license, to make a decision.

I have heard that oda also made the same choice. There are many spoilers for this series.
 
I do believe at some point one of the straw hat pirates will die, maybe at the end, or maybe as a means of going on. Hard to say what Oda will do.

Episode 846 is the penultimate episode and I saw till that and it adapts Chapter 875.
Big Mom is chasing Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Carrot, Jimbei and Pedro(it's been happening for quite some time). Chopper and Brooke boarded the sub-marine. Big Mom is about to attack them.

There's no need to quote the one who created the thread. And as I said my answer is Jimbei because I don't see the point of him being in the crew.

He has been great but I want him to stay that way. After all, Kishi did mess up during the last phase of his story, during the war, and it does look like we are approaching the end-game here.

I compared the anime and manga and a couple of key panels were missing sure(for airing purposes I assume) but other details and scenes do lead to that conclusion so I was surprised when people didn't think of it that way.

I've come to know that the Wano arc started like 8-9 weeks back. How is it so far?

My impression is that KIshi didn't do great with the war arc cause he had no good plan for what he was going to do. There were things he needed to address, like the tailed beasts, Madara, Tobi, Sasuke's return and so on, and he basically just went through the list. That is not a great way to write, and hence we get the sudden introduction of Guya and sudden Naruto vs Sasuke fight and so on. Oda would never do something like that, he puts ridiculous amount of effort into planning. I am sure he already knows all major arcs he wants to write and he is probably planning how to make everything run smoothly. Not saying Oda is a genius storyteller, but he is definitely diligent, so I don't expect him to run into the same problems as Kishi did. 

On the other hand I feel like sometimes Oda's ambitions seem to sometimes go over his execution. Take Dress Rosa. My impression is that Oda wanted to make it a novel-like complex story with multiple parallel plot lines, three or more parties with different interests, original characters with their own arcs and so on and so forth. But a lot of the the readers say things like "it overstayed its welcome", "couldn't care less about Rebecca's story", etc. I feel like Oda was not able to convince his audience that Dress Rosa is great, wasn't able to convey to them how they need to read it. There are two similar problems with Whole Cake arc, I will be very interested to hear what you will say about that when the arc ends. So this is kinda what I fear. That Oda comes up with a grand concept, for example with a great way to kill Kaido, and fails to make the audience see it the way it was intended too.


By the way, another thing about the wedding that I liked were the fans' reactions on reddit. Those were pretty priceless : D There was was a running meme about Katakuri having to do everything alone, having completely incompetent siblings, doing amazing job defending against a buch of very prepared attackers and traitors, and still failing and even being scolded by Big Mom =) It was growing from week to week, it was pretty great. And people never stopped making fun of Smoothie. They were expecting her to do at least something, until he idling around became a joke. I wonder if Oda meant it as a joke or something.

Also, what is the consensus here so far, is Big Mom too strong or too weak?


That is another reason to read manga, the "we are in Wano" came out of nowhere in the middle of a chapter and it was awesome : D I am not one of those who waited for Wano impatiently, but the intro was still pretty hype. The arc just barely started, so I can't say if it is going to be that great or not.

Even then I think the story would have ended on a somewhat high note had Madara been the final villain. And instead of thinking about conjuring Kaguya up, he probably would have put more thought into Naruto vs Sasuke. We all knew that fight was coming anyway. It would have been disappointing to not have it. And we got those two incredible, incredible episodes.

My thing with Oda is that while he sets up a story in an island that would progress into something grand very well, when it progresses into action, or rather, a battle shounen, he tends to drag it longer than necessary. Be it the fight in the Punk Hazard arc, or the Dressrosa arc or this Whole Cake Island arc. Maybe that's because the anime adaptation is piss poor. Or maybe not. I can't judge it with a clean lens. Basically he does introduction and escalation well, but the part between that and resolution tends to be longer than necessary and it kinda drags down the story for me.

She's annoying alright lol. The only dialogue she has right now is "Weddingu Cakeii". But yeah she's like incredibly huge and is strong. Though I was surprised that Nami got her hands on Zeus.

I'm actually planning to drop the anime after the Reverie arc and start reading the manga from the Wano arc.
