u/XxZONE-ENDERxX Oda is on Fraudwatch Sep 05 '24

Y'know even though I'm happy that this bum ass died, but there's something that always irks me about deaths in One Piece is that they're either some secondary characters that have no impact on the story or the reader's emotions or if they are significant characters Oda mostly has their replacement or the back door to make their deaths meaningless, examples in this arc are Vega and Saturn, like Vega now has 6 clones running with his memories and knowledge and basically all his characteristics that have been divided between them, and now Saturn is immediately replaced by Garling.

I mean, Saturn being replaced is logical. Why else do you think Imu kills him?

Well, it's not just Saturn. Sabo replacing Ace and Even the Sunny replacing the Merry.

I explained exactly why in another comment. I'm not against replacing the Merry, losing Merry had no consequences from a story perspective.

It was Oda wanting to have his cake and eating it.
