    The tension of an arc is more related to the narrative of the arc as a whole. Wano was a story of prophecy. Thus it is marked by Kaido's slow methodical disassembly by fate. WCI is a story of an underdog taking on someone he wasn't ready for. An upstart finally witnessing the full scope of the mountain he has to climb. What it means to face an Emperor. Egghead is a story of a new beginning, a new saga, and thus it's many twists and turns are meant to broaden our expectations for what that could mean, priming us for the Saga ahead. This was done at Whiskey Peak as well, but on a smaller scale. Our traveling companions turn out to be enemies, but then they turn out to be allies in a complete reversal. We learn of a secret that marks the crew for death, and we gain a nakama who's personal enemy is the subject of said secret.

    • @split_head_776
      @split_head_776 4 месяца назад

      "They never thought they would lose". You could say the exact same for the beast pirates. Kaido's side were confident in victory up until the final clash. Not only that, it was ultimately a clash of wills and the ushering of a new Era. Luffy literally got smacked as soon as he met Kaido and subsequently smacked several more times on the roof. No steps back and no tension is just wrong. I think he's still salty about getting Wano wrong

    • @derrickmiles5240
      @derrickmiles5240 4 месяца назад +1

      @@split_head_776 I personally don't have any problem with the level of tension Wano had. It was adequate. Tension does not make a story good. Heaping on tension with no regards to the narrative is bad writing.
      There are moments of tension in any arc, but they will always serve the overall narrative. It's easier to heap on tension when your goal is to make the enemy look undefeatable. Adding in the element of prophecy, by itself, reduces tension, as the narrative then has to show the prophecy in action, by having the enemy suffer setbacks. The setbacks, do, on the whole, reduce tension. The narrative creates a tightening noose around the antagonist's neck, which is impossible for the reader to ignore. But that's fine. Tension alone doesn't make a good story. That's a fallacy.
      I've had a shake-up recently but Wano is still probably in my top 5 favorite arcs, while Marineford just isn't. Marineford is the height of tension, but I still prefer Wano. Marineford has great moments, but it feels like a football game. I'd rather watch the highlight reel than the whole thing. Whereas Wano is just a joy to read. Excellent character moments are spread throughout. It has action, comedy, tragedy, and even a bit of romance. It's nearly perfect.

      I think the thing with One Piece is that it's just very specific rather than abstract. Like Dressrosa is was Luffy needs exactly this amount of time to recharge his Haki, WCI it's this exact time, and now id Egghead is this exact minutes. Rather than something abstract, because Oda has done it this many times the reader knows now that it wont be solved until the last final minute.
      Whereas in Enies Lobby, we knew the Buster Call was coming but didn't know when. We feel just as tense because it can go bad at any moment.

If I am not mistaken, from the final fight between the Alliance and Madara until the final Naruto vs Sasuke was only for 1 night.

    Oda also raised Eggheads tension by upping what was at stake. First it was seemingly a battle over the Seraphim, the potential ultimate beings and Vegapunk. Then the gorosei changed their mind, they now want the Motherflames power source, an ancient weapon caliber threat. Then it became pure survival as they shifted to a buster call. And now, Vegapunk died, but they need to hold out 10 minutes for the message while the goverment becomes desperate and pulls out all the stops and chucks 4 more bosses at Luffy.

    The great thing about the Egghead doomsday clock imo is that even if the heroes manage to hold off the enemies for 10 minutes, they still wouldn't have won. Congratulations, everybody heard Vegapunk's message but you're still trapped on an island with the gorosei and have to escape somehow. If we assume that the strawhats, the giants, the pacifista etc will have to go above and beyond for those 10 minutes, how are they gonna have enough forces to escape afterwards

    You should note however the key difference between the Egghead arc's final battle and the other final battles. In this arc, the time bomb is actually set against the bad guys, not the good guys. The Gorosei has to cancel Vegapunk's speech in 10 minutes, they are under preassure. Saturn probably understood that he has no chance to pull it off alone so he had to play more cards, and even in that scenario - the Gorosei still has to face Luffy and maybe Zoro + Sanji, and maybe even Kizaru. The Strawhats really has the upper hand this time, or at least the stakes are really big for both sides of the conflict.

      The stakes are high, but the tension is low. The way it's written, the World Government side is the side that's sweating, not the Strawhats. It's Wano tension all over again.
      Instead of the Strawhats trying everything they can to stop the doomsday scenario only to fail and the situation goes from bad to worse, it's the World Government trying desperately to stop the Strawhats, and every time it seems like they have the upper hand, their situation goes from bad to worse. It's really telling that the only people on the Strawhat side who are actually worried about the constant increase in stakes are Usopp and maybe Sanji.

    I think having timebombs during the climax of an arc is more common than you think. There were a few in Dragon Ball and Fairy Tail, and as you say, if they are done well, they add tension to the arc because you are wondering how the heroes are going to get out of this scenario. If done poorly, the way they resolve the issue can feel like it was pulled out of the author's ass or just drag out an arc.

Personally I'm content with luffy sanji Dorry and Brogy v 5 elders plus kizaru thing we got coming up as the stakes as is is luffy v five elders plus kizaru and I'm curious if the firepower of two legendary giant warriors is enough to contend with the greats but also luffy vs 6 admiral level combatants is pretty fuckin dire that I dunno how we get this ten minutes up unless vegapunk has the source and broadcast coming from somewhere hard to get to and hidden like in the waters below the island of eggheaf

    I’ve always loved how Oda is not afraid to have his villains get a W. It makes them so much more appealing than villains in other series.
    On a similar note, the same goes for his plots. Although he may take things a bit further than I find necessary at times, I still appreciate it.
    The worst example is really regarding Big Mom’s chase, but I understand what he was going for still. She’s a big time yonkou, and it makes sense that just getting away from her would be a massive challenge.
    I do think we have reached the big climax of Egghead. Hard to imagine it getting crazier than all 5 gorosei at once. But who knows, perhaps the Straw Hats successfully escape only to have Imu waiting on their ship and needing Shanks or Dragon to him just enough so they can escape.
    We will see.

Big Mom’s general incompetence Also throw in Big Mom just casually wreaking two of Kaido’s officers. I feel like Oda wanted to even the stakes against the Beast Pirates by giving the protagonists all the breaks in the world, but he went too far. I wonder if Gear 5 made him deviate from his usual ways.

    Egghead is the illusion of consequence arc that begins the final saga. What we will learn at the end of Egghead is that it was all a dress rehearsal, and that the stakes were already decided, meaning that what the Strawhats are doing for the rest of the arc won't actually matter beyond simply surviving. The shadow in the sky that Mars has just seen is Imu with Uranos and the mother flame, about to destroy all of Egghead to stop the message. However, the sound Mars also heard was Vegapunk's triggered live action cameras, turning on to show the live feed from Egghead, at which point the message will show not only the Gorusei in their true forms, but also the Uranos using the mother flame to destroy the island, which now the Gorusei themselves will have to escape, as they did not realize their master was coming themself to blow up the island. The Strawhats and Giants will realize that they have to prioritize survival, and it will happen by Kuma sacrificing himself to paw paw our heroes directly to Elbaf. To the Gorusei and Imu's horror, the message will not stop with the destruction of Egghead, only the live feed, as Vegapunk's pre-recorded message will follow up the live feed reveal with an explanation of the void century, and how the World Government had been founded and run by demons all along. Finally, we as readers will find out that the real source of the pre-recorded message was revolutionary headquarters, and was being watched over by Dragon himself, after which he comments, "And so it begins." Finally, arriving at Elbaf, Bonney, having seen her father sacrifice himself one final time to save her and her rescuers, breaks down, comforted by the Straw hats, at which point our view pans to the tangerine trees on the Sunny, as one of the tangerines transforms into the Paw Paw fruit. End of arc.

    Increasing the stakes past the 5 gorosai + escaping would create similar problems to wholecake story arc.
    The arc is at a point where it feels good for the crew to finally escape and move on. Hopefully franky gets a powerup and maybe the strawhats get a new law type ally who sails with them.
    Maybe imu destroyes the island but only to finish the arc. Not to create a new challenge.

    One of the main gripes I think with this trope is as a collective anime fans are very fastidious, and find the most minute things to pretend are major criticism. When Oda uses the timer trope, they’re usually not manifested in the same way at all. You know we have limited time to defeat the Big Bad, but they always vary. This Egghead variant is unlike anything we’ve seen before, but because it’s a timer fans will just kneejerk claim it’s bad. This video was great, but it definitely stunk with a lot of Morj’s biases for the post timeskip and saying “ these things are wrong because they are” and not explaining it mechanically.

    It’s insane how after leaving Wano, instead of having a more relaxed arc like we all thought, now the Straw Hats are facing a force even stronger than what they faced in Onigashima. From one crazy arc to another. Egghead is definitely the arc with the most insane events per chapter average as even Marineford didn’t have as many crazy events on the scale that egghead has.
