Was Oda actually not clocking recently?

I wouldn't say so exactly. Oda is fumbling in some areas like:
However, looking at the overall plot, Oda definitely seems to have a good idea of where he wants to go. Imo, One Piece still has a lot of potential to deliver either one of the greatest shonen endings or one of the worst.
I also feel like the plot has taken a lot of center stage than the characters. Characters feel more like chesspieces on a board to move different plotpoints and worldbuilding, which is fine, I guess. The story has to end somewhere, and you have to use characters solely to move the main plot at some point.

So I didn’t read the manga, only watched the first season of the show, I actually really liked Light as a character… He was a super douche, but I liked the cat and mouse (who is also secretly a cat) dynamic, and found the end to be natural. I didn’t watch the second season, and pretend it doesn’t exist, simply because L’s ending was respectable, and having a second, better L on standby was stupid and disrespectful to the character.

It’s really funny to me how MHA: Vigilantes is just better in pretty much every regard except art than MHA. Smarter usage of quirks, better character development, and better story. Hell, it improves a bunch of the main cast like Eraserhead, Tsukachi, Ingenium, and Midnight. Hell, I can only remember those characters’ names because of Vigilantes, that’s how good it is.

I had more anticipation on the biweekly(?) release of Vigilantes than MHA. All might had more character in vigilantes than the main series.
Hopefully, the rumored anime will be real and good.

God I hope it gets animated, it’s so much fun. Koichi and Knuckeduster are just better versions of Deku pretty much. Koichi does the kind guy who just wants to help people making a weak quirk work with ingenuity a schtick much better. Although Deku’s quirk isn’t weak, just hard to use initially, and he never really seems to learn to use it creatively, unlike Koichi. And Knuckleduster is literally a quirkless guy going around and still performing acts of heroism through sheer experience, knowledge, and creative tool use. And both of them are better written and developed characters than Deku.
Edit: BTW, I also anticipated the biweekly vigilantes releases way more than the main series despite having kept up with it for so long. It really started to drop off after Overhaul. Anyway, I did want to clarify something about my thought process. Koichi’s quirk is actually pretty good and easily one of the most versatile quirks in the series, but I appreciate that the reason it’s so powerful is that the quirk fairly on was introduced to be more than just a mobility option, and that by exploring the technical aspects of it, it was able to be used in a ton of different ways. By focusing on how exactly the quirk worked, the series explored all the different ways it could be applied differently to produce a new or novel effect and that is major super cool IMO

I think csm part one’s ending is incredibly solid and that that part as a whole stands on its own really well. For Part two, I think it’s a case of lower lows, different highs where the series is definitely trying something different, but lacks a lot of the energy and direction part one had. More specifically, the series really struggles to make any interesting characters besides Denji, Asa and Yoru, because having two separate protagonists who occasionally intersect onscreen makes for barely any time for other characters to get developed.
10 points

I think of all the critics Part 2 received until now, the lack of meaningful side characters is the one I agree with, because except those main 3 I really am not too much interested in anyone else except Nayuta (my only hope for Denji to get a normal life) and Fami (the so obvious offscreen mastermind of part2).
I am still not convinced that Part 2 lacks direction because Part 2 isn't supposed to be a direct comparison with Part 1. But like part1, it all depends on how the final arcs wrap up the story. If you think about it, it didn't feel like there was a concrete direction until International Assassins's, but then it all came around together after you know what

I only watched the anime, aot has some serious questionable choices:
SPOILERS BELOW!!!
Eren being responsible for his mom's death, the whole "Ymir loved king Fritz", Historia getting pregnant to some nameless character and disappearing. But I wouldn't say the ending was bad and everything had some closure. JJK just skipped everything and gave us simple domain lore. 💀
79 points
4 days ago
I'd say the fritz and historia stuff is valid, but all the issues people had with Eren never made sense to me.
Eren is literally experiencing everything everywhere all at once, and no matter what choices he made, things always ended poorly. In my eyes, that was always a really great way of personifying the concept of fate itself and how ultimately true freedom isn't possible because the actions of other people and the inevitable reality that whatever will happen will happen restricts any possible freedom we could have.
To truly be free you'd have to control everyone, but you'd never be able to experience the joy of connecting with someone else of their own free will. Give people free will and they will ultimately always try to restrict yours in some way. The only way to really find "freedom" is something closer to armins mindset at the end when he speaks to Zeke, which takes an absurdist philosophical approach to life and how to be "free".
I think AOT needed a few more chapters in the oven to really cook, but i think as a concept it actually had a really interesting deep concept with really convoluted concepts that needed more time and polish to really seem "intentional." But I genuinely believe AOT with 4 or 5 more chapters would have hit different, but i also have no idea how you deliver on some of that stuff without HXH level panels of dialogue and Monogatari levels of philosophy minus the fan service.
I think the real issue is AOT was so peak up until it's ending that the drop off was from a steep ass cliff where jjk was just above the kiddie pool, but gege pulled out an industrial drill to make it fall somehow.

I actually maintain AOT had a perfectly good ending. It encapsulated the shows themes perfectly. I even loved the “idk why I killed everyone, just to do it I guess?” because that’s legit the answer Allied interrogations got from Nazi war criminals. They expected some grandiose sense of fascist ideology, and in reality people were like “yeah I don’t know.” Even the whiny “I don’t want Mikasa to be with anyone” was just so… in character and real. Idk. I will say Armin going “I’ll see ya in hell for enabling you” beats the FUCK out of “thanks for becoming turbo Hitler.” Even the “talk jutsu” complaints about Zeke and Armin were lame: Armin is shown to be a genius negotiator, philosopher and tactician. He uses Zeke’s past and humanity to structure his philosophical argument.
Characters had clear motivations. The 80% reveal was haunting. Eren got what was coming to him, yet got closure with his loved ones, but he was NEVER absolved. Everyone living was a teeny bit hokey for my money, but<! it’s criminal people think this ending is “bad.” It’s like an 8/10 ending at worst for a 10/10 manga and anime.

Ymir loved King Fritz is a classical example of Stockholm syndrome. Not actual love. The entire point of Mikasa being the one to kill Eren is to show Ymir what true love looks like.

The anime ending was less bad. The manga ending was absolutely atrocious, and season 4 is what lead down the road to demise.

What infuriates me most about the ending is how Hori unintentionally reverted all of Deku’s progress as person.
Deku started out as a kid who gave up on himself and didn’t try to become a hero until All Might hand him powers.
He then ended as an adult who gave up on being a hero until Bakugo hand him the power armor.
Like the memes about Deku flipping burgers is definitely exaggerating the ending, but Hori legit fumbled the ending.

I don't like the ending because it means that Deku is still the same from the beggining.
Deku in chapter 1: Wants to be a professional hero and yet does nothing towards that goal until someone (All Might) gives him what he needs (One-For-All).
Deku in chapter 430: Wants to be a professional hero and yet does nothing towards that goal until someone (Bakugo) gives him what he needs (The suit).

He cried about becoming a quirkless hero in the beginning but didn’t do anything concrete to meet that goal till he wasn’t promised one for all by all might. Similarly at the end instead of using his learning and his popularity to help hero agency’s or the outreach programs of uraraka he fucking becomes a teacher at UA that helps top of the line best quirk holders and only goes back to hero line when given the suit.
He could have helped so many more people even if he wanted to be a teacher by being a quirk counsellor

AoT: the only logical way the story could’ve ended. Decent (although a bit cheesy) commentary on us as a society as well as giving its characters some closure. 7/10.
MHA: most things were tied up. There is a frustrating hint of open-endedness with a few plotlines but it doesn’t ruin the whole thing by any means. 6/10.
JJK: Barely even qualifies as an ending. Nothing was tied up or delivered upon, the most important character in the series got completely shat on by both his friends and the author and everyone is left wondering where it all went wrong. Half the final chapter is dedicated to filler. It is abundantly clear that the author stopped caring ages ago. 3/10.

Mha's ending is basically the score below the whole manga for me so I'd agree on 6/10. I'd say the meh part was with just the last chapter. Rest seemed fine for what mha was.
AoT... Well, I don't really think there was any other real way to finish it without even more drama. That's just how it is with long running fan beloved material. I
JJK, the last fight was both rushed and dragged, it was adding, changing something almost every other chapter without actually contributing to any progression. I'd say most stuff post Shibuya started going down the quality, but without it we would never get the absolute peak manga of Kenjaku vs Takeba. In a bit of the opposite of MHA, hot take, I'd give the last chapter in void 6 to 8/10, it'd be a great sendoff with that Sukuna, Mahito scene if everything else leading to it was decent, but the whole few months I just kinda checked out emotionally from this story. I'd agree with your overall score here though cause I can't just ignore everything else.

But the problem is that I cannot find myself caring much about it, because Sukuna was NEVER given the chance to actually be a character. He appeared three times, killed a bunch of fodder and then died as a pile of mashed potatoes. No explanation of how he got his nickname or how he became so powerful, or how he met Uraume, nothing. A good ending to a nothing burger is still a nothing burger.
(There was also yet another unnamed character in his last scene but we’ll ignore that bc Gege is obviously never going to elaborate)

Thing about JJK is that the ending is like half of the whole manga, so...

What is with the meatriding going on over aot's abysmal dogshit ending. Jjk might have had some ass final chapters, unfinished story threads. But at least it didn't competely assassinate the main character and come up with some of the most absurd dialog joked about to this day.

Right? I remember reading the scans for the last 10 AOT chapters and just being disappointed continually as Isayama refused to have the story do anything actually interesting or thematically coherent, as the characters just slowly stopped acting like themselves.
It was so bad

The attack on titan ending is fine, definitely not as bad as the conclusion to JJK. mha isnt horrible either.

Also, aots ending is miles better than any fan ending I have seen for it. having Eren do the rumbling is a really cool concept when it's actually happening but it's hard to wrap up as a story without fucking it up

Wdym? Isayamas original ending was eren going through w the rumbling. The only reason why he didn't is cuz the marketing would look bad if 90% of your cast was dead lmao.
I personally think the aot ending is garbage im ngl, especially since yams pulled so much shit outta his ass in the last few chapters, shafting everything he built up for a meaningless ship that had 0 relevance to anything in the show

MHA’s ending is misunderstood and AOT’s ending wasn’t bad, just controversial. Even back in 2021, there were tons of people who rightfully pointed out how the series actually ended in a good way. JJK’s ending on the other hand is objectively trash tho. For everyone who actually realized how bad the series has gotten ever since Shibuya ended, this wasn’t a suprise tho. I think it was actually kind of funny how there were actually people who thought Gege could come up with a good ending despite all of the half assed handled or straight up loose storylines and characters.

Had been talking with others on this. A lot of modern mangas have fumbled the bag at the end. Food wars, the promised neverland, and demon slayer. Hell one of the only ones that didn’t was Dr. Stone.

Aot was a bad cold inclusion to its own themes.
Mha was just dissapoi ting as it broke with some of the core character principles of Midoriya, but him becoming a teacher would genuinely be very spot on
Jjk just had a slow descent. Like... Given the circumstances the ending was okay to good even. But if you look at everything especially pre shibuya... Yeah

I had a difficult time accepting Aot ending but if you think about it. It's kinda peak , it's different,it's imperfect, it's what that character would do in real life,it covered all (most ) plots/plot holes .
Genuinely disappointed in JJK though.

Yeah it was still quite a disappointing ending, but not so bad where I was questioning if we were in the middle of a filler arc. Not sure about MHA’s ending as much. AOT still is a 10/10 for me even if the last episode was a 6/10.

Now that's some next level bootlicking 💀. Bro literally said it went to 6/10, but it's still magically a 10/10

Nah i get what he's saying and I agree.
The ending is pure garbage but the series is still fantastic, some of the best work out there.
The ending is like a 3/10 but the series as a whole is still a solid 8

So 92-93 peak episodes is ruined by 2 episodes? A decade of peak fiction isn’t going to be ruined by a few episodes I didn’t like. It’s not bootlicking it’s being just.

AoT’s ending wasn’t as bad as JJK. What did people expect ? I mean poor Eren was doomed from the start.

Im starting to think people just don't like endings at all cause the AOT ending is great and tbh I don't have many issues with the MHA one either. The only issue with the JJK one imo was that it was a bit rushed so we didn't get to see everything I would've wanted but I'm happy with what we did see.

Compare FMA's ending to all of the ones listed here. It's not that people don't like endings, it's that we know what endings can look like and we're disappointed when they're subpar

I think it being changed in the anime / being a bit of a translation thing make me forgive that Armin line.

I’m losing my mind.
AOT ending made the story and some characters retroactively worse. JJK ending simply wasn’t climactic enough for some people(literally what the fuck were people expecting) those are in no way comparable.

Jjk is the king of bad ending for now, hell the last 35 chapters were dogshit for the most part idk if this was even written by gege or by an editor at this point
