While fans should be discussing what’s ahead for the series, many are instead debating issues in the Wano arc. One Piece fans are particularly discussing the lack of Kaido and God Valley flashbacks in Wano, despite both being integral to the arc’s overarching plot in some way. The topic is certainly divisive, evident in reactions from fans on both sides of the fence. Follow along as this article fully breaks down exactly what One Piece fans are debating and why the issue is so divisive. One Piece fans at each other s throats over opinions on intertwined relationship between story arcs antagonists and flashbacks The debate Supoko@BasedSupokoI never want to hear the words Wano or Kaido ever again34551I never want to hear the words Wano or Kaido ever again https://t.co/zh5MddKjgG One of the most celebrated and famous aspects of author and illustrator Eiichiro Oda’s smash-hit One Piece manga series is its expert use of incredible flashbacks. Whether for heroes, villains, or those who dwell in between, nearly every single major flashback in the series has been incredibly well-executed and memorable. Geo@Geo_AWThe most tragic thing about Kaido having a terrible flashback is the fact that oda has shown us time and time again that he is capable of creating compelling and thought provoking flashbacks for characters, like senior pink, doflamingo, law etc120637The most tragic thing about Kaido having a terrible flashback is the fact that oda has shown us time and time again that he is capable of creating compelling and thought provoking flashbacks for characters, like senior pink, doflamingo, law etc For this reason, it's likely that many fans were disappointed to see the Wano arc end without an extensive flashback pertaining to Kaido or the God Valley incident. Both were integral to the arc’s overarching plot in one way or another, albeit with God Valley being more of a backseat factor to Kaido’s antagonistic presence. (Joe) Three Skull Theories@TypicalJAntI'm still yet to see a single person give me any actual reason why Kaido's flashback being short means that it was bad.It succeeded at doing all the things a flashback should do & managed it in only like 5 pages. If anything that impressive to be able to do that. twitter.com/Geo_AW/status/…Geo@Geo_AWThe most tragic thing about Kaido having a terrible flashback is the fact that oda has shown us time and time again that he is capable of creating compelling and thought provoking flashbacks for characters, like senior pink, doflamingo, law etc736The most tragic thing about Kaido having a terrible flashback is the fact that oda has shown us time and time again that he is capable of creating compelling and thought provoking flashbacks for characters, like senior pink, doflamingo, law etcI'm still yet to see a single person give me any actual reason why Kaido's flashback being short means that it was bad.It succeeded at doing all the things a flashback should do & managed it in only like 5 pages.

However, this importance has only exacerbated fans’ disappointment at neither receiving a substantial retroactive exposition in the series’ longest arc yet. Many are calling it one of Wano’s biggest failures as a story arc. Zack@ImDZackThing is Crocodile didn't get set up as this "layered" character. He was just a vile and meticulous dude and played that role well.Kaido has had major personality change, wanting to die, a daughter, unexplained race, rocks pirates, and barely any of it is explained.

One villain fans are harping back to with this mindset is Crocodile, who received no sort of exposition on his past during his time as antagonist of the Alabasta arc. ???? @KayiZokuOtaku#ONEPIECE Friendly reminder that Arlong's backstory was not even revealed before we got in Fishman Island, when it was necessary. I am sure God Valley flashback will be revealed in the same wane and that's when we'll learn more about Kaido87064#ONEPIECE Friendly reminder that Arlong's backstory was not even revealed before we got in Fishman Island, when it was necessary. I am sure God Valley flashback will be revealed in the same wane and that's when we'll learn more about Kaido Despite the lack of flashbacks, however, many celebrate him as one of the series’ best villains and, since his reappearance in the Impel Down arc, best characters overall. Fans argue that this shows that an arc’s enemy doesn’t need an overly complicated, drawn-out flashback to excel both in their role and as a general character. (Joe) Three Skull Theories@TypicalJAntKaido's flashback was short for 3 reasons 1. Oda had already done most of Kaido's characterisation through his dialogue & exposition 2. He didn't want to drag Wano on for another month with a drawn out flashback3. He can't reveal God Valley content yet39729Kaido's flashback was short for 3 reasons 1. Oda had already done most of Kaido's characterisation through his dialogue & exposition 2. He didn't want to drag Wano on for another month with a drawn out flashback3. He can't reveal God Valley content yet While such arguments are respectable, other fans who share a similar sentiment are vying for a more logical approach to the issue at hand. With Wano already being the longest arc in the series thus far by a wide margin, some posit that Oda didn’t want to draw the arc out any longer with a long, drawn-out flashback. FlexStyle@FlexStylez@Geo_AW Praying Oda doesn’t give Akainu a bootycheeks flashback like Kaido.If it’s just gonna be half-assed he’d be better off without one781@Geo_AW Praying Oda doesn’t give Akainu a bootycheeks flashback like Kaido.If it’s just gonna be half-assed he’d be better off without one https://t.co/O5f2sQ5OoU Others also point out that revealing anything more about Kaido’s past and God Valley would likely harm future reveals surrounding Rocks D. Xebec and his goals and crew. While no one but Oda knows for sure whether or not these reveals are coming, many fans agree that such topics are incredibly likely to be broached by One Piece’s end. Will@WillieJ_@TypicalJAnt Nothing really. Oda has a plan like always I think with as great as One Piece has gotten people have forgotten that those amazing moments took years and years to develop. He gave us enough information to realize Kaido was a product of war. The Rocks crew flashbac will be the rest2@TypicalJAnt Nothing really. Oda has a plan like always I think with as great as One Piece has gotten people have forgotten that those amazing moments took years and years to develop. He gave us enough information to realize Kaido was a product of war. The Rocks crew flashbac will be the rest For now, however, fans are left arguing amongst themselves as to whether or not Oda’s treatment of Kaido’s backstory will be justified by One Piece’s end.
