Oh look, Stelly is the new Goa's king. Where are all the people who said that Goa's king who weren't fully shown in the flashback would turn out to be important?
I can't help but bring back this topic!

He is so important that he probably died and we won't ever see his "mysterious" face or name :ninja:
I wonder if Gia Sado will see this.
@Monkey:
I don't deny you have an opinion at all. It's just that you're wrong.
nope, looks like you were wrong.

@Monkey:
If that were the case Oda would have shown his face.
I wonder if any relatively unimportant political leaders were quickly shown to us who had no more story to them than some quick summary like that?
Maybe just a few?
Deliberately in multiple panels hiding his face, a deliberate storytelling technique…for no reason?
Come ON lol.
Another guy whose uncle works with Oda and somehow knows Goa, the homeland of Luffy Sabo Garp and Dragon, has had it's story told, and no other aspects of the place need exploring such as I dunno....literally anything regarding Dragon's origin for instance... nope! It's done. Who cares about the story of Goa and what ties Luffy and his family might have to anyone else or anything else there such as the royal dynasty. No biggie.
Well I can tell anyway.

It's being heavily foreshadowed and will involve a psuedo-strawhat, Vivi and much much more than just discussing just "oh shit, Crocodile got arrested".
@Monkey:
I don't deny you have an opinion at all. It's just that you're wrong.
Yeah and I pointed out that that is not how Oda writes his manga (wtf does Luffy's characterization have to do with it lol).
It's suspense by virtue of not showing it.
Yeah yeah, I already shot down this crap argument with some other guy. It doesn't have to be a huge huge character for the face not being shown to be a matter of Oda intending to show them.
Are you some kind of sociopath or something? Are you posting from North Korea where burning a slum with everyone still in it is average and whatever? The hell?
lol what on earth makes you think Goa changed at all from when Dragon was young. ALL his dialogue suggests the complete opposite.
lol, he was born in Goa and talked to Sabo about understanding his frustration with it. GEE.
Yeah he could have been a Prince or some other sort of next in line nobility, truly irrelevant figures of no relevance in any given storyline.
I'm right.
@Monkey:
Those are all differing examples from eachother….showing the same thing....making my point for me. Thank you for refuting yourself??
When has Oda ever ever refused to show someone's head because their status was unimportant.
WHY would someone even do that.
When has ANY author done that.
No one has EVER done that.
Mostly because it makes no sense!!! It makes no sense Gia Sado, if you really want me to respect an argument you're making ...make one that makes sense!
"NO I CANT SHOW YOU THIS, IT'S TOO UNIMPORTANT, I HAVE TO HIDE IT TWICE AT LEAST."
Why would someone deliberately over several examples hide a character's face BECAUSE he's unimportant.
Oh I'm sorry, I thought he was unimportant. So Oda would have no reason to show his face in the Reverie either.
By your logic any king there that isn't important...Oda would cover his face!
It's almost like royal families in absolute monarchies are intrinsically tied to the name of their kingdom.
@Monkey:
Hey that's a great point.
There isn't yeah. Great point again!
Though there is one thing they share in common! They get SHOWN.
Done what. Hide lesser characters? Yeah he has.
Not showing a dude's face really really deliberately = hype, foreshadow etc.
Also there's countless examples of people's faces being hidden of all kinds of characters, all kinds of importances, and all kinds of levels of foreshadow or lack thereof.
The one countless thing in common no matter what is they get fucking shown.
I have a great example of a guy slightly hidden from us who turned out to be huge when he was fully shown with zero foreshadowing.
You might have heard of MONKEY D GARP? lol
Remember the cover story with the random marine officer whose eyes we never saw? Who was not hinted at being anything other than just an officer? Yeah that guy.
Not seeing a guys face is mysterious dingus.
And again there is mystery with anything regarding Goa. Anything.
What kind of clueless schmuck takes "i hide massive things in tiny details Eiichiro Oda" and assumes a guy very clearly hidden on Luffy's and Dragon's and Garp's island in the highest power structure of it…will not be shown. I mean forget whether he's important or not, you don't even think we need to see his face.
It's almost like we're having the intended reaction to the narrative technique, and that someone illiterate is trying to say we're wrong.
ahahahahahhahahaha, you are not fucking seriously bringing that up.
Holy shit you're clueless.
She's SHOWN. And yeah you wanna know why we barely saw them? Because Pixar was shit at animating humans until later so they tried to avoid it.
Every single example you listed had a huge reason those characters weren't shown. That you're hopelessly clueless self obviously missed.
Both Peanuts (not Charlie Brown lol) and Cow and Chicken are playing off the "lol adults and parents are big and distant creatures" to the children characters. Or at least for Peanuts. For Cow & Chicken it was just a joke about faceless generic parents. There was a POINT.
So you've failed by question. Find small characters HIDDEN for no reason other than their unimportance. A thing Oda has never ever done before.
Do you even know the panels we're talking about? There's three panels the King shows up in, two have his head BLOCKED BY A SPEECH BALLOON.
You're acting like Oda didn't deliberately go out of his way to hide the guys face. Except that's exactly what he fucking did.
And no understanding even them lol.
lol I can't get enough of this, it's like watching a circus.
