OP has had stupid concepts and out of the blue power ups?
FT is a battle shonen, therefore you are allowed to analyze its fights and rate it based upon them.
Ok, now analyzing things that Mash has done wrong with FT. It's a shonen about magic, yet his ideas for magic seem to be very limited and specialized. Which makes me wonder who the hell is teaching all of these people these very over powered and specific magics.
He has had to pull from the field of "lost" and "ancient" and "overpowered" magic.
Has a simple fire wizard even appeared in this series? Um, I guess you could include the first guy that Natsu fights and the one guy he saves.
Every other wizard has some ridiculously strong magic that would takes decades to learn, yet they learned it in a brief span of time.
Let's analyze Erza. She is an S-class wizard apart of Fairy Tale said to be on par with those of the 10 Wizard Saints. We see that Laxus, Gildarts, and Mystogan, more or less, shit on Erza in terms of power. So this means that Fairy Tale, including Makarov, have 5 total people at 10 Wizard Saint power. (Does this title mean anything?!)She's a pathetic character that has only declined in power since the start of the series. Only to gain it ALL back for a single moment to defeat a bad ass.
Redhawk, gear second, Zoro's 9 sword style, Robin's wings, don't even mention sanji's powers or how he nearly bled to death.
I agree and personally I prefer the fights in FT than most other series. Especially in the anime which blows the draggy OP fights out the water.
Dragons, other mages, self taught through knowledge gained and the lost/god magics we have yet to find out about but it seems to be gifted in some way.
Lost and ancient magics are common in many stories and myths. This is not exclusive to FT.
Romeo. Wait didn't you say that the magics were limited and specialized yet you want more people to have the same abilities. Most of the magics are variations on other magics we see which fits in with magic coming from the heart, it very much a personal style. If you want an example, Biska and Erza. Also many mages have more than one type of magic. (I hope that Erza teaches Lucy her magic so she no longer has the weak spot of having her keys stolen when not in use. But I don't think it would fit in with Lucy's personality to not have her keys by her side.)
Cana and Fairy Glitter being an example of a gifted magic that is extremely powerful and nullifies your point.
Being a Wizard Saint isn't based on power. They need to be extremely strong but this doesn't define them as being the 10 strongest beings in the world.
Declining in power? Gaining it all back to defeat a bad ass. Who is this bad ass? Don't say Minerva because she even said herself that she was no match for Erza in a fair fight. Erza has extreme durability and very quickly figures out weak spots in her opponents which she did.
How is Gear Second an ass pull? It's purely based upon his devil fruit. Same thing with Robin's wings. I will agree that Zoro's Asura and Sanji's Diable Jamble seemed like ass pulls.
The fights in FT are horrible though. There hasn't been anything entertaining about the fights since Tower of Heaven. (That's when I realized they would all end in nakama power 1 shots.
Lost and ancient magic is common in many stories and myths, yes. To the extend of FT's usage, no, not even close. FT is to the point that to even compete, you are required to have a lost or ancient magic. There isn't a single big name player anymore with a common style of magic. Even Erza's and Lucy's magic have proven to be extremely rare. Lost and ancient magics are like, dealt on the corner of L street by some shady dealers. "Yo dawg, want a lost magic, it will make you ridiculously strong and turn you into a super villain." "Sure dawg!"
"Being a Wizard Saint isn't based on power." Um, yes it is. That is EXACTLY what the 10 Wizard Saints are. They were defined as the 10 most powerful wizards in sanctioned "good" guilds. You must be thinking of the council of wizard elders, which had an entirely different function.
It is an asspull because he never trained for it and pulled it out into creation only when it was JUSt the thing to win the day.
He claims that he was training since his fight with Aokiji. He claimed that he wasn't able to compete with the big namers yet.
Yet we never saw it nor can you see the logical source from where that move came from. It's just uber convenient and really cool looking. That's all. It's still a grade A Asspull.
Gear third is not because he pretty much bites his thumb and inflates it like a baloon which would work for a rubber type body.
Gear Second expands his blood vessels because they're rubber which increases the blood flow in his body. It's still based upon his fruit, just like Gear Third.
If you haven't notice, we never see them train in One Piece, that's because that isn't the prime focus of the story. We know they train though simply by how time passes throughout the series.
