I don't understand what you meant about Zoro and Kuma scene being super awesome though. It was pretty stupid if you ask me. One guy needs to die, the other asks to die in his stead, but he doesn't die. Wha?

Edit: Also, following the mold of DB or whatever isn't a plus at all in my book.

Edit 2: I understand some people dislike Oda's drawing style, but it's actually genius.
