Forum:How many times is Toei going to make blatant improvisations with the canon only to have it get contradicted later?

Seriously, this is getting ridiculous now. First they show the right half of Akainu's face even though Oda intentionally hid it, then they added dialogue to Sabo and Luffy's reunion only to have the manga actually reveal what the dialogue was. I'm sure the upcoming special will contradict even more stuff. --Mandon (talk) 17:49, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

Anime change things. Are you seriously complaining about that?

Totally. Toei's animators make assumptions about the story and then backpeddle once they get contradicted, leaving plot holes that otherwise could have been avoided if they simply consulted with Oda. It's not a major irritation for me since I don't follow the anime, but I still find it completely hilarious that they keep making the same mistake over and over again. --Mandon (talk) 17:54, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

"Plot hole". The only plot holes Toei ever had was Zoro cutting cannon balls in Warship Island arc and Chopper using two rumble balls in the Davy Fight Back arc. It wasn't their fault either since Oda hadn't revealed what was supposed to happen yet. SeaTerror (talk) 18:25, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

This is why I personally like to get rid of "in the anime this character did this" line because articles on canon characters should only stick to information from the material source

That's a very good point, Joe. In fact - I find it silly to not add the non-canon reunion to the article too - given our policies on non-canon sections. ;) --Mandon (talk) 18:37, July 15, 2015 (UTC)
