The people who really hated Ace and have a morbid sense of humor? XP
I've read some reasons on why they hated Ace. I recall one being the fact that he was a typical cool brother and they're sick of those types. I don't see that as a reason to hate a character. Well, to each his own I guess.
To me, even though I like Akainu and didn't really care for Ace…..I just found the death shocking. (because whoa, Oda killed someone in the present time)
I want to share something with regards to that:
! I found out about One Piece during the earlier part of the decade due to my cousins who were related with Japanese bringing their Playstation and asking us(Me and my brother) to play One Piece Grand Battle with them. I was still, as I recall, 9-11 years old and when we finally unlocked Ace, me and my brother would pretend that we were Luffy-Ace(Me being Ace) and I thought that he was really cool. Well, I didn't read the manga nor watch the anime 'til 2010. I actually read 582 chapters in a week. Then add to the fact that I was a mere casual reader back then who didn't bother to think about facts such as Oda not easily killing off characters then back at February my seatmate at the university was so pissed off when Ace died that he told me about it even though I wasn't reading back then. I just told him that I knew Ace as Luffy's brother. I was kinda surprised of him dying. So when the time came that I finally did read One Piece, I said to myself "I probably won't be affected by the death of Ace" something along that line seeing as I knew it beforehand. When I got to those parts(558-574), I pretty much felt bad for Luffy. The build-up Oda made from Luffy saying that he doesn't care of the rule of pirates,facing off with the admirals,KD outburst then when he finally freed Ace, the latter dies right before his eyes affected me. I mean, I knew it was coming but it still left an impression on me. Shows how good of an author Oda is. Sorry if it's a bit long.
I also viewed the parodies,fanart and kudos to the members who posted them. :happy:
