| After years of characters hyping them for being strong and powerful while shown in shadow'ish figure? Then when they get revealed, they're not someone you would imagine they would be (badass, tough, no-nonsense attitude etc). They're always goofy which completely ruined the mood like WTF? Why do they keep doing this? |
| That Oden guy in One Piece is still the biggest disappointment in recent anime history. |

| "Don't you hate it when long awaited characters are revealed to be goofy in Shounen?" Sounds like a specific One Piece problem, but actually I love that. |

| you literally described one piece, talk to oda to make actually cool characters instead of circus clowns but then again, one piece's appeal is exactly that |

Theo1899 said: What? I found him amazing. His personality was really fitting. And the only real goofy part on him was the things he did to save his people, which, in return, is totally not goofy at all. At the end of the day you are talking about OP, which has been pretty goofy from the start and imo Oden did fit really well into the story.That Oden guy in One Piece is still the biggest disappointment in recent anime history. |
| No I like it.. Goofy characters that make me laugh is always appreciated |

Seems too goofy. |

| Not even sure what you're talking about. People mentioning Oden but he wasn't hyped up until we got to Wano and his first scene was cooking oden with the ashes of a dead person so make of that what you will. Jiraiya is also another one of those goofy characters but was never hyped up as someone serious. Or are you talking about Shanks? I need examples! In sports anime, I do see that quite often but that's usually always a sign that they're more powerful than the audience thinks. |

Theo1899 said: I don't get why people would follow this guy. Sounds like you were speed reading the Oden flashback to me. Raizo would be a far better example of a goofy character that was hyped to be strong and powerful. Hell there are even jokes Luffy and Law make of Raizo not being what they expected. |

I read it at my usual speed which is pretty normal I think + I also watched the anime. I never felt like everyone's worship of Oden was not justfied by what I saw of Oden as a character. Maybe he's fine and I'm just biased because I have a certain image in my head of an inspiring leader but no one has ever managed to convince me otherwise. |

| No, I simply don't watch the genre.. |

| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| This happens a lot in One Piece. Countless times. |
 |
| I dont really have a problem with it. May even make the character more likeable. |
 |
| Like Majin Boo from DBZ? All that fear when he was being resurrected, only for him to be a goofy ass fat pink alien. Nah I love that trope |

And regarding OP, what me and the other guys are mentioning here is beyond this, and how the characters lose a good portion of their "badassness" with it + the same jokes as well. I'm enjoying those answers very much. |

That's why I can see all the hundreds of flaws this series and Oda writing has and still like it ^__^ |

I'm enjoying those answers very much. I believe that villains who show an unusual/non-evil side to them are as well written as villains who give 100% to their maliciousness. Like kaiki from monogatari is as well written as sato from ajin Similarly gintoki isn't any less badass than guts just because he had a good amount of gag-comedic moments Plus there are villains in one piece who have a background of seriousness to them like akainu, doffy, lucci, croco, blackbeard |
