Eiichiro Oda’sOne Piecehas featured several arcs that have greatly added to its storyline. However, in the long list of arcs, the Wano Country would be the most popular of all; after all, it features greatly detailed animation and fights that have added great meaning behind them.
From Kozuki Oden vs. Kaido to the Worst Generation taking on the Two Emperors, each has added to the allure of the lore. Hence, for many, this arc is considered to be the most fulfilling, as it has not only given them a satisfying ending but also unraveled several mysteries of the fabled One Piece and Joy Boy.
Nevertheless, the fans would be annoyed to learn how Oda-Sensei kept a fan-favorite character alive with an incredible plot hole that has made the viewers say,“How did he survive that?!”
Eiichiro Oda gave Kin’emon an odd trait that hindered Wano Arc’s greatness
TheOne Pieceverse is an incredible one, where it features over 1100 episodes and is still going strong since 1999. During this incredible long run, the series hasfeatured several charactersthat fans have grown deeply attached to, one of them being Kin’emon. Introduced during the Punk Hazard saga, fans took a quick liking, especially because of his character design and his chemistry with Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Though he concealed his identity during their first meeting, he later mentioned how Momonosuke and the Nine Red Scabbards want to takerevenge on Kaidoand his associates, who were responsible for the killing of Kozuki Oden. By planning to conduct a massive raid at Onigashima on the day of the Fire Festival, which would mark a new era in their country.

It was during this raid thatEiichiro Odaintroduced the meaningless trope of having incredible luck because of how everyone understood, from where they had to board the ship, as he was forced to change whereabouts at the last minute. While it was entertaining in the beginning, in the later episodes, he and his brothers-in-arms went on the rooftop to settle things with Kaido and Big Mom, which became quite tedious.
The samurais were unable to hold their ground against the two Yonkos, so everyone was brought to their knees. Kin’emon, who showcased some valor, challenged Kaido when he ate a devastating attack from the Strongest Creature, cutting him open and later impaling him with his own sword. This led to the lower half of his body running aimlessly, where it later reunited with Nami and Usopp.

While fans were deeply rooting for the character to survive during the arc, looking back, they felt indifferent towards the scene, as they found it cringeworthy and how the author gave him a plot armor. This trope was brought to attention inr/OnePieceas well, where a Reddit user posted a question asking the“biggest “How did they survive that” moment in one piece.”Fans uniformly agreed to one name,
Nakamas can say otherwise, but this does not change the fact that he survived because of his incredible luck, while his peers Ashura Doji and Izo laid their lives on the battlefield. Thus, leading to a much deeper discussion on Reddit.
One Piecefans evaluate the biggest plot of the Wano Arc
TheOne Piececommunity feels disappointed over Kin’emon having an insane amount of luck, which surprisingly went unnoticed during the airing of the episodes. However, with some fans now catching up to the series, thanks to the 6-month hiatus, they have noticed how he was directly protected by Eiichiro Oda himself.
In a differentRedditpost, titled“Let’s Talk About Kin’emon,”the fan mentioned how he faced two head-on attacks from Yonkos having a killing intent and healed before Roronoa Zoro and Monkey D. Luffy,“the 2 god tier straw hat fighters.”The fans did not hold back, as they stated how they laughed at Kin surviving such grim circumstances while Ashura died from a bomb.
While the samurai having god’s luck over him sounds absurd, they would be silenced as they learn how the mangaka gave a greater plot armor to our protagonist, Luffy, where he brought him back from the dead thrice, making fans look for some logic behind it.
Nevertheless, this brings forth the fact of howOda-Sensei made the Otaku community emotionally investin its characters to such an extent that they would not question the reason behind the events happening in the story. However, once that phase is over, fans will notice how their favorite series is not safe from the“plot armor”allegations.
One Piececan be streamed on Hulu; meanwhile, the manga can be read on VIZ Media.
