One Piece Episode 462

I wonder if the old curse of shounen is going to haunt this battle as well. As long as it's only a few persons fighting, it's varied and characters use individual styles and techniques (and powers), but if it's a bigger group, it's just going to be running and mindlessly withing with fists, swords or guns. It looked a bit like that already but I hope they will really concentrate of individuals and give them time to be themselves, if that's appropriate in this war.

I hope Luffy manages to get there anywhere soon - if only to see how Hancock would react to seeing him.

I thought the curse of shounen was when two groups of characters get into a fight which just breaks down into a whole bunch of 1v1 matches.

I hate when that happens. Teamwork is far more interesting.

I like it when that happens. Sure, real teamwork is great, but it almost never happens. It's either one on one battles, or a swirling melee where nobody bothers to use any of their cool powers. Or worse, it's an OP villain destroying everyone while they forget they even have powers.

So I accept a series of 1v1 battles being the next best thing.

Unless...you know...there's like 20 in a row...


...fucking Bleach...

There have been plenty of good team battles in One Piece, like several of the Baroque works matches in the Alabasta arc, or the strawhat crew vs Oz in the Thriller Bark arc.
