One Piece Franky Joins The Crew Episode

Super! Franky's Finally a Straw Hat: Was it Really That Great?

Okay, okay, before you throw your Cola bottles at me, hear me out! Everyone loves Franky. And yes, him officially joining the Straw Hats was a big moment.

But was the "Franky joins the crew" arc... overrated? Maybe just a tiny bit?

The Build-Up: Epic, Sure. But Long!

The whole Water 7/Enies Lobby saga was incredible. The drama! The fights! Robin's backstory!

It had everything. Then came Franky's internal conflict. Plus, he had to build the Thousand Sunny.

Did it drag a little? Let's be real. Even Luffy got impatient.

The "Burning of the Ship" Drama: A Tad Much?

Franky burning the blueprints for Pluton was dramatic. We get it, he’s a bro protecting his friends.

But honestly, did we need that much angst? I felt it was a bit too much for a character who's normally so, well, SUPER!

Sanji vs. Franky: Okay, Now That Was Awesome

The fight between Sanji and Franky was legitimately amazing. It was brutal, funny, and showcased their strength.

Plus, it gave Sanji a chance to shine outside of simping for Nami. Still, it was a detour on the way to Franky joining.

The Acceptance: Almost Too Easy?

After all that fighting, Franky's decision to join felt a little... sudden. One minute he's hesitant, the next he's building a ship.

And the crew? They were basically like, "Cool, you're in!" No real questions, no deep conversations. Just Zoro being Zoro, sleeping.

Don't Get Me Wrong, Franky is Gold!

I love Franky. He's hilarious, powerful, and a genuinely good dude. His role in the crew is vital. No argument there.

But sometimes, I think the arc leading up to his official Straw Hat status gets a little too much praise. The Sunny alone deserves praise.

Unpopular Opinion Time!

Maybe it's just me, but I think some other Straw Hat recruitments were more compelling. Robin's especially.

Chopper's was heartwarming. Even Brook's was funnier and more mysterious.

So, yeah, I said it. Franky's joining? Great. But maybe not the best recruitment arc in One Piece history.

The "Super" Takeaway

"It's all subjective, right? Maybe I'm just a contrarian. What do you guys think? Am I totally wrong? Let me know!"

One Piece is amazing. Franky is amazing. Let’s keep loving the series, even when we disagree on the small stuff!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go drink some Cola and blast some Super music. Just to be clear, I'm not a hater!
