One Piece: Enel Gets His Well Deserved Megaboom

[CloverDragon03]

Perhaps I wrote that section poorly, I apologize. If I thought I was genuinely being too skeptical to the point where my whole position can't be used... why would I bother posting it in the first place?

Also, I think you may have misunderstood what is going on here because you wrote "Enel does some random small explosion that was exaggerated for toon force purposes"; I never said that Enel caused the explosion or that the actual explosion is the result of Toon Force. I said things can be exaggerated without even getting into Toon Force. Meaning that I don't think Toon Force is taking place here.

EDIT: Anyway, I don't want to bogged down in a debate about no. of assumptions here. As KT has already stated, that is not a part of the thread.

You talk of avoiding assumptions but are you yourself not making a massive, completely unsubstantiated assumption by saying the explosion was just exaggerated? Especially when narratively it's supposed to be massive because otherwise the dude wouldn't see it and get so shocked at it that he died from choking on his food?

Can't say I find that very convincing. Whatever compelled me to come to this thread, I hate it

I brought it up as an explanation for why there'd be two drastically different explosion sizes for what is essentially the same work. It's an inconsistency that doesn't sit right with me, maybe some other people are more accepting of it, I don't know. Makes a little more sense to me personally than detonating Continent-obliterating explosives for a bit of archeological excavation but it is what it is.

All we know is that it generated two real explosions, with very clear indications regardless of whether or not they were exaggerated (Disqualifying an feat for being visually exaggerated is poorly argument when it comes to manga). If the first explosion is visually different from the second one it doesn't matter, it doesn't change the fact that the second one was generated and tanked by the machine (again, nobody knows if the machine has a fuel or if they can regulate the explosions itself). Cover stories often ignore irrelevant events or information, everything that is there is the way it usually is. If the machine was seen in the center of the explosion crater, with smoke and debris coming out of it, it is extremely unlikely that it was moved afterwards.

I think option B is quite fine.

 

[Kachon123]

Bump. What else needs to be handled here? It seems majority agrees with Option 2/B.

We've got two apporvals and two disagreements

Ah, I didn't count KT, silly me

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

Option B seems best to me

 

[That_moron2]

Alright this can probably be applied then since its been 48 hours
