explain for non-autists

>character becomes as strong as characters introduced 600 chapters ago
>“Power creep”
Marineford showed the strongest characters in OP

the implication seems to be that despite relatively minor changes (the only stat difference is Special Attack going down by 10, literally every other stat is the same) Lapras went from "OU" (which is "Overused" tier AKA very high tier) to "Untiered".

>shounen embodies the usual tropes and themes
>jumps the shark a million times over
>One Piece fanatics can't even act superior about this now

Everyone just wants it to end.

Payday 2 DLC
Total War DLC factions / lords + units, 1-3 months after release before they get nerfed so the next DLC faction / lord + units looks good
Monster Hunter post launch content drops, which steadily obsolete every piece of equipment in the game, making everyone use the exact same shit no matter what weapon or playstyle they're going for

What started as a 151 Monster Game becomes a 900 Monster game
Within that ever growing amount of monsters comes higher expectations to be a threat. OU stands for OverUsed and is the place for the best Pokémon out there outside of a few overwhelming legendaries.
What may have been enough for OU nowadays hardly qualifies to be tiered in the 900 monster game, let alone be tiered in a game that, to attempt to aleviate the fact that a tier can only have so many viable monsters, has made many tiers since then. 5, as I speak, and Lapras pictured above isn't good enough for any of them, which is why it bears the title Untiered.

>lapras in rby ou
lmoa ancient pic

The problem is he was supposed to have a shit tier ability that competes with the strongest because of his creativity. Not the GOD FRUIT OF THE CHOSEN GOYBOY

>development is le... BAD!

I kinda agree with this but to be fair this was probably planned at least since the TS, and until he awakened it it WAS just funny shitty rubber ability
It only becomes good after you awaken it

BUGGY
D.
KUROWNO

His DF has literally never been shit tier though, what is this retcon attempt

Me
I'm a powerful creep and i'm very large

>this was probably planned at least since the TS
Then why did Oda never mention a Nika once for two decades?

Most fighting game DLC characters are build stronger then the old characters.
Street fighter, guilty gear, dragon ball fighters, tekken. etc etc
Buy the new characters goy

>he thinks Oda planned anything and isn't winging it like most authors do after the first few years

>shit tier ability
this was literally never true. The ability itself trivialized everything for the like the first 100 chapters. It's not as obviously strong as a logia but it was never trash like some other fruits. At worst you could argue it has a learning curve. Hell it's why Oda picked it in the first place because it was so versatile

If Kaido wanted to kill himself so much, why didn't he just eat another devil fruit?

No, you're just fucking wrong. The best series establish shit at the beginning and never deviate from that. 1050 chapters ago we were told that Luffy had the Gomu-Gomu no Mi. Changing that fact 25 years after it was established has straight up ruined the series for a lot of people. What's Oda gonna change next? Is there actually another yonkou the series hasn't mentioned yet? How about a 4th admiral? Retconning Luffy's fruit just shows the writer has no respect for his own source material. The manga is low tier now, and its sales have been dropping as a result.

?
It was literal trash compared to things like light, magma, earthquakes. What is this cope to defend the retcon of turning it into a god tier mythical zoan?
>trivialised everything in the canon WEAKEST SEA in the opverse
Who fucking cares retard?

>The problem is he was supposed to have a shit tier ability that competes with the strongest because of his creativity
it's literally what he does? he uses his creativity to make this fruit broken

Nika fruit literally makes his body rubber, that's it, and Luffy uses his imagination to create all his crazy techniques
the ONLY thing awakening changes is that he can affect enviornment and others giving them properties of rubber too and enchances his previous things, like, gear 3 would make his limbs giant and now he can make them even bigger... it's super simple
there's bunch of people with much more broken abilities. it's the creativity that makes Nika good fruit, not fruit making it's user automatically overpowered.

you people are beyond retarded and want to complain for the sake of complaining

There's nothing chad about being the government's #1 bitch. I bet the gorosei summon him to their palace just to take turns fucking him in his magma chamber. Luffy is going to take his BRC and inflate that LAVAUSSY right in front of Hancock

So now that its approaching the final arc, will Gin, Kuro and Don Kreig come back?

Who who and who?

Saying the DF isn't a god tier fruit doesn't mean it's shit tier, you absolute buffoon

>it's literally what he does? he uses his creativity to make this fruit broken
So why change what Luffy's fruit is at all? Why introduce the character of Nika at all?
>Nika fruit literally makes his body rubber, that's it, and Luffy uses his imagination to create all his crazy techniques
SO WHY INTRODUCE THE CHARACTER OF NIKA AT ALL
>the ONLY thing awakening changes is that he can affect enviornment and others giving them properties of rubber too
SO WHY INTRODUCE THE CHARACTER OF NIKA AT ALL
>it's the creativity that makes Nika good fruit, not fruit making it's user automatically overpowered
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE POINT OF INTRODUCING THE CHARACTER OF NIKA IN ALL OF THIS

IF LUFFY'S FRUIT HAD AWAKENED AND JUST LET HIM DO ALL THAT CRAZY SHIT IT WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER THAN WHAT WE GOT

Enel will come back from the moon. He will ride down a meteor that Fujitora summons.

one piece has never pretended luffy wasn't special, I don't know why peoples panties are in such a bunch over the nika thing

Lapras went from being incredibly common on competitive teams to being essentially unusable in smogon singles.

>one piece has never pretended luffy wasn't special
Pretty much. Basically mentioned in the first chapter that he is "The One".

for plot reasons

the fuck is your problem? oda writes the manga, he created whole lore and world and everything, and this is the direction he took, and only because you didn't expect it, doesn't mean it's bad
get some help and stop being such a baby, there's bunch of other things that you should be complaining about that are happening with One Piece, and Nika is not one of them

>was definitely planned to be joyboy from his first mention
>son of revolutionary
>grandson of strongest living character
>brothers with the son of the pirate king
>inherited the pirate king’s will
He’s always been le specil snowflake

x

I wonder what the last Straw hat member will be after Yamato

>SO WHY INTRODUCE THE CHARACTER OF NIKA AT ALL
Ever wanted to know why devil fruits etc. exist?
Probably Nika created them or some bullshit.
Considering the power can do everything you imagine I can see him just saying "Wouldn't it be fun if everyone had wacky powers?"

Kaido will join Mugiwaras after he kneels before his son and asks for forgiveness.

It objectively was shit tier when you compare it to shit like LIGHT or MAGMA you disingenuous faggot
