I personally think one piece has much less inconsistencies than the other two as well. And yes Kubi is a really good and consistent writer if you ask me. But i think it would be a bit unfair to compare Naruto and one piece story wise. Imo Naruto's story is more deep and complicated than one piece while one piece is more straight forward (just personal opinion).


One thing for me personally that hasn't been consistent in one piece is the relation between Haki and DFs. I don't think Kubi has been that clear about how they work together and when they do and when they don't. Let me rephrase that, Most of the time he probably has been but many times he hasn't. I won't get into this much more than this as this is a Naruto thread.

Don't get me wrong, i like one piece more than Naruto in terms of enjoyment but i still think Naruto's story is a bit better ( not by much but still better).

Imo One piece beats Naruto in terms of character design while Naruto beats one piece in terms of story.

Now I do disagree with your opinion on many points and I could go into that if you wish to discuss this further (though the who is Tobi thread is a better place for that).

I was doing both . Disagreeing ( on a few points not all ) and giving examples of how inconsistencies could get explained. But in a way , i guess you are right too. You were just summarizing the thought process behind the theory and it's inconsistencies. I personally do think some of the inconsistencies mentioned have been touched upon and some what explained but i guess having more explanation from Kishimoto would be nice. I personally thought talking about Tobi=obito and things related to that were ok in this thread but it seems i have gone off topic. My apologies .

Very good theory. I like it. I think there are many plausible theories at the moment and although i am leaning toward the Obito= Tobi theory, i still think there is a good chance that might not be the case.
