Forum:Eliminate the "Former Antagonists" Category

We should eliminate Category:Former Antagonists. It's not a particularly useful category, and it's somewhat speculative and prone to heavy abuse.

Some examples of how messed up this category is:
 * Trafalgar Law. When was he an antagonist? Did him switching the Straw Hats' bodies around make him an antagonist for a really brief time?
 * Kuzan: He hasn't even canonically interacted with the Straw Hats after he resigned from the Marines
 * Crocodile and Buggy: They were last seen in a temporary alliance with Luffy but whether they are still allied with him is extremely doubtful.

Agree, it's too vague. 19:14, July 30, 2016 (UTC)

A lot of the people in the category are still very much antagonists, just by virtue of sharing the same goal as the SHs (finding One Piece). Nuke it. 19:20, July 30, 2016 (UTC)

Im not a fan of this either :D Dinosel (talk) 19:24, July 30, 2016 (UTC)

I think we should nuke it

I'm neutral on this but I have noticed a few problems with the category. 19:31, July 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * People add it to characters who are still antagonists but not present in the current arc
 * People add it to characters who are antagonists in the current arc but they personally want them to switch sides or something (Reiju...)

Vivi, Robin, Hancock and her sisters are the few good example of a former antagonist but the rest hardly fits the example. Plus why is Blue Fan there? Either we fix it or nuke it

To be honest i dont think the existence of this category is much of importance since its content is already included in other categories if im not mistaken. Dinosel (talk) 19:42, July 30, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah just get rid of it. Meshack (talk) 22:36, July 30, 2016 (UTC)

Yes, once an antagonist has proven to be friendly with the Straw Hat Pirates, we just remove the "Antagonist" category, no need for "Former Antagonist". 23:07, July 30, 2016 (UTC)
