I’m not watching this video, but I am going to assume he’s given it up because One Piece isn’t (and likely has never been) the type of story he wants it to be.

Holy shit he just regurgitates all the sour grapes criticism from /a/ (which is pretty much what I thought it would be), and I’m certain he’s only watched the anime despite its long running, well-known, issues separate from the rest of the series.

Sorry but that ain't cutting it, my guy.
What does he say beyond that? If you do not want to watch then fine but this is not enough.

-opens up with cliche "if you still like one piece, that's fine" protection
- Whines about how almost every arc is the exact same with a pattern(has a point how but is taking it too seriously)
-Whines about it again(again correct but it's coming from someone taking the series too seriously)
-says characters like queen/franky, ace/sabo, sanji and shanks had sudden royalty connections and doesn't like it, they just had that stuff?(again he criticizes it just happening rather than the plotholes it creates with this new knowledge) also mocks fans for defending this and them for wanting to see more of the will of D and the void century. That's super serious
-says one piece is long to get through(oh really, then you should've dropped it then) and says gags get repeated too much( as if the nosebleed thing was the only comedic thing in this so-called super serious arc about these real morals, it's a comedy still. Did he not pay attention to the other arcs?)
-uses "unalive" for all the times describing kaido trying to kill himself
-whines about the plot device of characters having this amount of time to do something or else everything dies isn't accurate since it's a span of multiple episodes(again accurate but coming from somebody taking the show seriously)
-goes through EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER who had a moment where they appeared to die and hates how they survive for zero reason. "They obviously were supposed to die here like I see how oda wrote it, he did, why did they not die" you obviously don't. The "deaths" are stupid and the obvious sign it's a shonen manga, but he doesn't know this and vents for 10 minutes. Calls out fans for not being so bothered by this
-whines about how every flashback in this series goes, character has something bad happen, someone dies, and it's predictable(taking it too seriously again)
-whines about every character dying in the present is irrelevant and doesn't like how they die for some, like ace and izou.

I’ve always been baffled at how this is a criticism when this isn’t just endemic to One Piece; it is a fundamental structure to the serialized adventure series as a genre.

Fine, he is respecting opinions even if he does it in a fake way.
Isn't that part of the identity? There is a pattern but there are always new twists happening.
How is it different from the previous time.
First things first, Queen is not royalty. That is just his title. A role he plays. He has a problem with connections? Like, the idea that some people are related? Oh no, the characters did not spawn from the void! What an idiot! Noticing that tropes are at play does not mean they are bad! Oh no, the character swore revenge over someone they love getting hurt! What a cliché!!! What is next? Linear storytelling? Oh, and let's never find out about two of the things that move the plot forward! Ryan Johnson, are you writing this?
It is called a "running gag"! He has a problem with a trope again! Tropes are tools. Making a tropeless work is impossible!
Also, too long? Not long enough! We are reaching the end! Is he the living version of that meme about the guy giving up before he finds diamonds? One Piece is an EPIC! They are supposed to be long! People used to orate the Iliad and the Odyssey BY HEART!
Meh, that is the algorhythm. Blame YT.
Treating things too seriously is not his issue. Having shit opinions is. You can agree or disagree but a shitty opinion is a shitty opinion. He is getting paid for this? Next, he will complain about books using black letters.
Motherfucker is one step from starting a fight with reality!

1. What? Luffy has become an emperor and we are 3/4ths of the way to having all the poneglyphs.
Luffy literally accomplished more of actual relevance in one arc post time skip than he did entire pre timeskip.
2. It is almost as if it is trying to be smaller arcs exploring islands while learning about a larger narrative.
Kind of like all the best stories told, remember how Aragorn went to save Rohan, which allowed his character
to develop so that he could go save his Homeland?
Saving 2 kingdoms...much repetition.
3. OMG a character they met early is more important than they seem, that is totally better than introducing the most important character in the final arc...
4. Something that was largely caused by it being one of the last non seasonal anime, which is solved.
The anime still has some pacing issues but that is largely to maintain Cliffhangers
5: When has the series had any Urgency except with saving Ace? Luffy has 3/4 of the Road Glyphs at this point and I don't think anyone has commented on the fact that the last one is fucking god knows where.
6. If we could get a rope that could hold him, GRR Martin should be fucking Hung for his crime of making everyone think that "If characters don't die there aren't stakes." I can not wait till Avengers Doomsday comes out and the Rumored Death of Toby Maguire spiderman happens and it just annoys people rather than "raises the stakes"
Pell dying wouldn't have raised any Stakes, Crocodile was DEFEATED by the time that happened.
7. How many of the best moments have come from Flashbacks or happened right after flashbacks?
8. Present Day deaths you mean like Whitebeard? Whose death was the beginning of the Balance of power falling apart which is the major impetus to what will be Paramount War 2..and Ace's death which gave Luffy an extremely personal reason to beat the holy hell out of Imu who is probably the one who directly Ordered Ace's death because I doubt Sengoku really wanted to start a direct war with Whitebeard.

ace dying is super important even currently. sabo would have never gotten his memories back im guessing had ace not died and luffy would not have been pushed to get as strong as he has. every good hero needs some losses along the way and losing ace was the big one for luffy.

yeah luffy should just be totally ineffective and fail to protect fucking anyone i mean nobody dies in modern one piece except for yasuie except for izo and ashura doji and maybe hawkins and also one of the five elders but nobody dies in one piece there's no STAKES you know i mean nami isn't some damsel in distress but there'd be some STAKES if she got captured often i mean were there ever really any STAKES anyway i mean what were the STAKES for wano? that if they fuck up the country will continue to suffer under kaido and orochi? thats just the status quo for them they wouldn't lose anything they hadn't already lost and what about egghead? that if they lost they would all die? thats just every day survival for the straw hats there's nothing new there there's no STAKES being RAISED that's a STAKE PLATEAU and who cares about bonnie anyway

Ace dying was great writing. The arc was totally on track to be a standard One Piece incompetent Navy fails to accomplish anything story but Akainu saves it by refusing to just let them jog off after the rescue, by insulting Ace's pride and killing him, very nearly killing Luffy too. It was a much needed breath of fresh air after Luffy spent the whole of East Blue and Grand Line getting what he wanted just by yelling "I'm gonna be the pirate king." Sorry, rubber man, you're gonna have to put work in.

Wapol was the rightful ruler. An evil prick but he is not a foreigner. Read the story. He was deposed and Dalton took over.
Doflamingo is also descended from Dressrosa. His family came from there originally.
Also, SHs fight against foreign hostile armed forces as opposed to illegal migrants. It is very centrist as far as crews go.

IIRC Wapol abdicated when Blackbeard showed up.

He abandoned the throne, the people and the right to rule when Blackbeard threatened to off-panel him.
The Donquixote family abdicated the rule of Dressrosa for citizenship in Mariejois.
Yes, it doesn't match up perfectly to the CURRENT THING. The people who think One Piece does need to be fed a little shitposting. It might hit good emotional beats and make interesting philosophical points (Doffy on good and evil), but it isn't a political treatise.

Royalty is rather brutal. In many cases, royals are killed by usurpers even if they abdicate as their presence can be a rallying point for opposition. The Soviets killed a nun who was related to the Romanovs for one example.
Unfair but abdication does not mean a lot to some people.
The SHs are free. They are not left or right, they are doing their own thing.

I thought Luffy would be throwing hands with Akainu for the death of Ace. I feel like Luffy wouldn’t care for Imu except if Imu were to try and kidnap Vivi. Anything else Imu could say or do and Luffy would most likely be his usual dimwit self.
Wasn’t Sabaody an L because of how Kuma separated all of the Straw Hats in front of Luffy? And Ace just dragged Luffy into thinking he was weak until Jinbe snapped him out of his funk.
