I suppose I have to cover this stuff a little faster, but, alas, I haven't finished it yet and must wait until tomorrow, or longer…
Anyhow, I do believe that Oda isn't the type to "carelessly" use her character towards that regard as how the other user, Zephos, figured. I'll probably use interviews to try and elaborate concerning this stuff, since it seems needed now.
Lastly, like I've always stated since this argument started, using Perona like that is a waste of talent and completely blows in terms of writing. meanwhile.
Your response doesn't change anything at all, nor does it even make me think twice over what my response will be…
It's not a waste, nor is it careless. In fact I don't think you even know what careless means.
Perona is a side character who functions entirely on being amusing and cute (though it pains me to think this works). She comes in, does goofy ghost shit, fucks with main characters. And that's all.
That's all she did in TB.
That's all hundreds of Op characters do. Do you think the combat/amusement existence of Mr. 4, Mr. 5, Ms Valentines, Kurobbi, Smack, Pearl, Butchi & Siam, Mohji, Cabaji, Absalom, Satori, Ohm, Shura, Gedatsu, Ms. Christmas, Ms Doublefingers, Ms Goldenweek, Marimo, Chess, Furyoku, Califa, Jyabura, Kumadori, etc.
Do you think these are careless and wasteful in that they were used as little more then amusement and combat?
This is exactly the breed of people Perona belongs to. How is she a waste when these others are not.
Her function is minor and surface. She will be fulfilling her purpose.
Also this.
when Zephos was being cocky with his "idea" that basically seemed to suggest that Zephos has evolved into some mindreader and knows Oda's labyrinth of creativity better than any logical arithmetic solution. That's really the MAIN REASON why I disagree with the whole post, and the idea–because of his tone.
Is the stupidest thing you've ever done. You dead bitch.
