Manlets didn't ruin the Gene-pool that much.

based
Sebastian Ramirez
Maybe because it’s in the same story as fish people. It’s make believe
Zachary Long
It makes for interesting character designs
Samuel Long
One piece is probably based on yugoslavia or something
Jeremiah Morris
It makes drawing easier.
Nathaniel Peterson
Oda can't into perspective so he just leaned into it
Asher Green
Could a well trained 10 feet tall man beat a gorilla IRL?

Evan Ward
Because GODA knows that nobody takes manlets seriously. So he needs most of his big shots to be literal giants otherwise people will think they are a joke.

This is one thing I'm surprised people don't understand about One Piece after all these years. Oda's artstyle exaggerates proportions and qualities of characters.
I see a lot of complaints about "x body proportion is unrealistic" and they all point back to this core fact, Oda doesn't go for realism, he goes for visual storytelling and cartoonish hyperbolic proportions.
Beautiful women have literal hourglass-shaped bodies. Fat people are circles. Muscular men have giant upper bodies and tiny legs. Skinny people are practically straight lines. Tall people are gargantuan. Ugly people are extremely ugly and usually have giant heads to emphasize their faces. It's all done on purpose as part of his artstyle.
I can understand if someone wants to criticize that as a concept/idea but the fact that so many people get it wrong and assume Oda is just bad with proportions or- even worse- art is unbelievable
Isaac Lee
Also to add onto this Oda does struggle with height consistency but that has nothing to do with proportions
Ayden Price
Crossbreeding with giant tribes, many OP humans probably have some 5% giant DNA in them.
Ayden Rivera
There it is, the user without retardation.
Thomas Bailey
Could you imagine if kaido was a manlet, strongest living manlet doesn’t have the same ring to it
Leo Evans
No. Gorilla are really strong when it comes to pure raw strength. A 10 foot man would just be a big target.
Christian Stewart
Well, at least Kaido could turn into a giant city sized Dragon. This why Orochi was killed off in such a pathetic way. Manlet in his normal form, manlet even in his DF form.
Ian Sanders
didn‘t oda once mention that hight equals strength? The bigger the person the stronger.
James Sanders
I don't understand why Oda gets nailed to the wall for female character design ("All the women look the same!") but someone like Mashima got a free pass.
Josiah Watson
Why are giants jobbers then?

Oda: Because FUCK YOU ONE PIECE FANS LET ME MILK YOU OF ALL YOU HAVE!! YAAAAS GIMME DAT BLING!!!
Eli Carter
The pattern in Moria's trousers strongly resemble some illuminated windows. This may be a hyperbolic resource to convey his huge size, in a way that he's compared to a building through the idea that his own body is so big that it has "windows" on it.
Daniel Morales
it's a cartoon[/ spoiler]
Andrew Nelson
Bartholomew Kuma's hyperbolic proportions achieve an aesthetic that reinforces his imposing presence through the permanent impression of looking at him from a low-angle shot; which would be lost if we changed his aesthetics even if they look weird.

Also because making them all weird and different makes it easy for him to draw them.

Kaido IS a manlet, fucking Jack is taller.

Bobbin's calambur: the elements on his face compose the shape of an owl following his hypnotic powers, which at the same time is a creative usage of metonymy.
Brayden Cruz
Just casually 39 feet tall, no worries.
John Roberts
Cracker's polysemy: Cracker hides in an armor made of crackers which cracks and reveals a cracked-looking individual with hair like a firecracker.
Robert Rodriguez
How will his raid suit look when Franky and Usopp have reworked it, Sanji said he would want that.
Brayden Nguyen

Christian Gutierrez
I think in Mashima's case, everybody knows anybody reading his stuff is just doing so for cheesecake

Daifuku's conceptual analogy: a lamp filled with a genie is analogous to a filled mochi like the daifuku, which also provides round shapes fitting those of a lamp and which appears on Daifuku's artificial-looking anatomy.
Jaxson Campbell
Probably the same reason why everything is disproportionated regarding human bodies in One Piece, eg fists the size of the head
Robert Perry
Isaiah Brown
Tamago's inspirations and rhetorics: Hercule Poirot, Jubjub bird, etc. appearing as an egg-looking individual with a sophisticated teacup as bowler hat and long legs which rhyme with his cane (the design has too many details to go into them here and now).

He calls Crocodile by name

Are Bionicle Kiku and Kiku Autistico the same thing?
Colton Hughes
That just means Crocodile is more likely to join than Yamato

Was the animation this cheap even back then?
Brayden Davis
Didn't Oda work for Watsuki? I remember Kenshin having a giant in it.
Nicholas Ward
uh yeah, it just works for me

Perospero's hyperbole: obviously his long tongue which evokes his personality and powers.

Lol imagine if while Kanjuro was bleeding out he just started fucking his powder-white ass while the scabbards watched and Izo praised his growth
Christopher Myers
people cried to this chapter?
Nathaniel Ortiz
Buffalo is the tallest member of the Donquixote Pirates and ate the spin fruit in reference to the mills that Don Quijote de la Mancha mistook for giants in the novel from Miguel de Cervantes that inspired Doflamingo and his crew. Buffalo's hair also looks like the blades of a mill.
Tyler Hernandez
I cried at Oden's death I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Dominic Sanders
>Luffy gave her a nickname. It's over.
Caribou confirmed
Alexander Allen
An illustration of Don Quijote facing the "giants":
Lucas Taylor
Please tell me he didn't actually cry for this chapter...
Cooper Long
I accept your concession. Another win for the Yamatochads.
Caleb Campbell
I shattered my keyboard in anger when Jinbei showed up in Wano.
Jackson Baker
I know why X drake is shy in the bathhouse scene
He must have worked with Hina in the marine
Dominic Robinson
doffy's crew had some of the dumbest designs in one piece and that's saying something.
