Most of it are nitpicks from a butthurt fan who prefer the 2003 version of the anime though.


Pretty much. 2003 fans tend to nitpick on Brotherhood because of it's popularity though I will admit that some of the points he mentioned were legit (though there are some that can be countered).

the 2003 version gets blasted for having plot-holes and hold Brotherhood as being super tightly written. A lot of his arguments are sensible enough though some are flimsy (like the one regarding Roy's eyes)

Even though I like it .. they just suddenly when dragon ball Z and just had powers that were never explained.

and probably the " berserk " modes in all of the evangelion rebuild movies because going berserk mode was something that was really rare and was really bad but in the rebuild movies it was glorified and was " sooooo cool ".

Didnt the first two movies have only 2 Berserk modes, at least one less than the original?So how was it more rare in the original?
And only one of them was "so coool" because this time it wasnt


OMG your're actually right, rewatched them last night. Okay I will give you that but it's just stupid the fuckin lion-mode Asuka was in in the 3rd one.. especially the 3rd movie was so terrible...

As much as I like it... the ending of the original FMA anime did feel like a rushed way to finish the story when you analize it.


Sorry, Full Metal Alchemist, I love you to death, but that's bullshit.

True just like I bet some of the new Deaths will come back somehow, then again maybe not.

Other than that, hmm, I'll say Ash's "death" in the first pokemon movie, pretty much all of valverape that wasn't insane.

There are many more characters who died and came back in a BS way, but it seems Pell's overshadows them all, to the series' favor.

It's funny how Croc preemptively sucked out the water, but forgot to do the same with blood, not that it makes sense in the first place.

He can only do that when he grabbed someone or something, he wasn't able to do that in the last fight.

Shanks wasnt always so almighty.And we are talking about a scene were every moment mattered. THat Shanks can split the sky with his haki now doesnt mean he could do it back then.
Croc vs Luffy already explained.
Wikia:Even though a Devil Fruit user cannot swim or float in the sea, on Page 17 of Chapter 175, Mr. 3 is seen floating on water. Oda explained in a SBS that Mr. 3 landed on a plank of "super-floating wood", which allowed him to stay afloat. In the anime version of this scene, a table is clearly floating beneath him to hold him up. It was revealed in another SBS that the wood was in fact Kuuigosu.
Characters did die for good and not in a flashback.

Was there a wood in the manga? If not, it's a plot hole. Of course the author would make something up to save face. And seriously if he were not joking, then this is just sad.

@judals: If you're talking about the incident with Mr. 3, then yes, there was a plank of wood underneath (he was on his back) him which kept him afloat underwater. It was there and Oda just explained it again in the SBS since someone asked for clarification.

Didn't that happen 7-8 years before the start of the story when Luffy was young? If so, then Shanks might've known Conquerer's Haki (might've been done by instinct since it's genetic) and didn't learn about the other forms till later. 7 or 8 years is a lot of time, especially since Luffy mastered Haki in 2 years.

Really sad indeed. Humans make mistakes all the time, Oda being human, that's sad. Why isn't he Goda already?

Proof from the original chapter of the manga? Like I said, character making up things later on is just damage control.
Originally, it was just a 'death glare', but when then Oda inserted Haki and it seemed he was tring to make it as if it was there all along. Still doesn't explain why he lost an arm. It seemed the most dangerous part of the whole thing was the attack, and if it were just by instinct, then staring there for a whole minute after doesn't make much sense.

Assuming that Shanks didnt reach Luffy without using Haki.Also knowing Haki=/=almighty that can stop Sea Kings just before they bit something.The Sea King didnt even notice what happened till after he bit him.Who is to say that using Haki from a distance would actually stop the Sea King in time?What are the other inconsistencies?

People forgetting to draw something=plothole....anything else?Seriously this is the only reason to use something not introduced yet to explain something.

More like you try too much.

That people try to use tvtropes for criticism.Yes Shanks should have stopped during the emotional scene and talk about Haki.Then you would be bitching about ruining the scene.

Hmm? How did he lose the arm? Let me explain, he was, as you suggested, not nearly as strong as before, and his 'guts' or death glare or whatever is what drove the animal away. After 10 years, Oda added something to the story, and tried to force it into that scene; therefore creating the inconsistency. It wasn't always so, is what I mean.

A picture is a thousand words. In this case, it says Mr.3 can defy the DF rules. With means a plot hole.

You're the one who suggested that Haki is no indicator of being the top tier he is now. So "haki " -if we assume it was there- was purely on instinct and emotion, doesn't make sense after being attacked, dismembered, and having the kid endangered by the attack anyway that he'd say "I'm angry with you, fish"

Really I thought this was very obvious. One Piece was one of the very first anime I watched about a year and a half ago, and I already recognized that trope from tons of other media.
It really boggled me when people were confused about that.

You are the only one seeing the problem,just because you want to see a problem.
Even with Haki people can be wounded,Yourproblem is that you see Haki as something that makes the user invincible.

Not an intended plothole.It wasnt something done in order to force a char to escape from a situation.It is a mistake but not a plothole.

I didnt say that it was on instinct tough.I said that it wouldnt stop the Sea King in time.

My problem, actually, is seeing that forcing a new element into old stories, can mess things up a little, even if they were straight forward.

Shanks himself said he lost his arm betting on the next generation. That Sea Monster was defeated in one hit by Luffy before he went on his journey, so with or without Haki, Shanks should have been able to defeat that monster and save Luffy without any trouble. He sacrificed his arm to teach Luffy a good lesson.

Yes, but some people might not get that.

I thought it was: Haki did not exist back then unless you want it to, but if it had, then it does mess some things. It doesn't bother me that much tbh, but I don't deny its existence. Besides, I'm not the only one who thinks that, if that's what concerns you.

@Setsu,
Fair enough.
But that brings another related point, was it not you who said Logia become the thing they eat (the power), why does he need his palms to absorb? How can he just not absorb upon any contact?
How does initiating a touch change things?

Another thing, since we're on this topic, regarding the usage of water could 'solidify' the sand if we ignore world physics, by pouring water on Croc. then it was nerfed (or opposite of nerf) to make any liquid in contact with luffy making him anti-Croc. That's also nonsensical.

The two points above show constant arbitration of elements for the sake of convenience.

You are the only one seeing the problem,just because you want to see a problem.
Even with Haki people can be wounded,Yourproblem is that you see Haki as something that makes the user invincible.

Not an intended plothole.It wasnt something done in order to force a char to escape from a situation.It is a mistake but not a plothole.

I didnt say that it was on instinct tough.I said that it wouldnt stop the Sea King in time.

With that logic anyone can turn a blind eye to any plot hole or they want to see it.
My problem, actually, is seeing that forcing a new element into old stories, can mess things up a little, even if they were straight forward.

A mistake IS a plothole. Anyway, this is a thread about these things, it's not a deal breaker if it exists. We're just pointing them out.


No people using tvtropes to explain shit is a problem.And Shanks having Haki back then doesnt mess anything unless if you want it to.


I thought it was: Haki did not exist back then unless you want it to, but if it had, then it does mess some things. It doesn't bother me that much tbh, but I don't deny its existence. Besides, I'm not the only one who thinks that, if that's what concerns you.

@Setsu,
Fair enough.
But that brings another related point, was it not you who said Logia become the thing they eat (the power), why does he need his palms to absorb? How can he just not absorb upon any contact?
How does initiating a touch change things?

Another thing, since we're on this topic, regarding the usage of water could 'solidify' the sand if we ignore world physics, by pouring water on Croc. then it was nerfed (or opposite of nerf) to make any liquid in contact with luffy making him anti-Croc. That's also nonsensical.

The two points above show constant arbitration of elements for the sake of convenience.

It's not just his palms.It is that the power doesnt appear to be passive or take effect in an instant.Grabbing him appears to be the best choice.

I dont remember being stated that only water can "solidify" sand if thats what you mean.

Oda never explained that. And frankly, I don't think he cares that much about that kind of things. I will try to make sense of it if you want, but there's nothing official about that.

To me, his logia power only gives him the power to change into sands, and this absorption thing is just a side power, something he developped through training with his fruit. And then, it's like martial arts, you got people that are way better with their hands than with their feet for example, so I think it's a skill he only developped with his hands, and he just doesn't know how to do it with the other part of his body.

But, that's just what I think, there is nothing official about it, I'm not sure we'll ever get an explanation about that either, this doesn't look like something Oda would do. So, this is left unexplained.

About the liquid, blood could touch him because it's mainly composed of water.

Oh, no not that, it's just how being damp or slightly wet was able to nullify his power, Mizu luffy initially poured a barrel of water onto him, he did not just have wet/bloody hands. Guess any sweaty guy could have beaten him after all.

Maybe not passive, but why limited to hands? He could initiate it upon any hit through any part of his body?

Setsu, yeah... That actually makes sense.

That power never looked to take effect in an instant.That's why grabbing someone would be the best.

If he could that with any part of his body, Luffy wouldn't have been able to touch him at all, as soon as Luffy tries to punch him, he uses that ability an then POUF, no water, you can't touch me anymore. Even throwing water would have been useless, he just absorb it with his power when he touches it.

That's a power he can only use with his hand, for which reason though? We can only speculate since Oda never explained it.

That's why I Say it doesnt work in an instant, so he HAs to grab others.

OFc it could be that he never imagined that such a fight would come so he didnt "train" anything else except his hands..

Watch at 1:00, the power takes effect in an instant.

Again, that's my explanation, I'm not Oda. I don't know.

Doesn't matter, interpertations can fill in the gaps if plausible enough, so I'm willing to go with that notion than believing it's an inconsistency that keeps irking me

I like that when in the start of the video when Croc absorbs from the ground it takes some time and I was like"yeah.So?" and then in 1:00 I see it.
Well fuck my memory.

Some plot holes in HxH (2011), or inconsistencies since it's seems more appropriate.

Naruto Shippuden

I think it's because Tobi is just a terrible villain. If Orochimaru or Danzo (especially Danzo) had started the war they would of done that.
