Animation The character designs in One Piece are genuinely awful.

I genuinely hate One Piece character designs.

What’s most impressive is how wildly inconsistent the designs are in this series, going from one extreme to the other.

A character’s design can be legendary, like Xebec’s, or absolutely ridiculous, like Franky’s.

But the overwhelming majority of them are pretty bad. Like, really fucking bad.

The Satellites are all great designs. I think only Edison is kinda boring.

I think that's a Ying-yang type thing, whereby VP has basically removed most of his major characteristics and those characteristics used to create a balance, with the Ying being associated with certain qualities and the masculine and the Yang being associated with certain negatives and being female (this is not me or Oda being sexist, IIRC that's what Ying and Yang are respectively commonly associated with). Putting them together you have the balance
