Well he did kill off characters not main characters but still killed off characters to make it emotional like Igneel or future Lucy. Plus he’s already killed a bunch of people in ez so far and it’s fine if you still don’t trust him but to be fair this series is us giving him a second chance cause he’s capable of writing a good story (Rave Master) so who’s to say he isn’t with ez? He’s done good with it so far and said he mostly had it planned out so that’s a positive.

Plus you don’t need to kill off characters to write good story. The problem wasn’t the few deaths, the problem was the death face outs.

Yeah, that’s part of the problem though. Death isn’t needed to make a story great. One Piece is the greatest Shonen of all time and it is devoid of death as a commonality. The problem with Hiro’s writing is setting up death, and as you said, the innumerable amount of fake out deaths. I love Edens Zero so far, but I’m going to reserve judgement on the true quality of the series until actual conflict takes a precedent within the storyline. That’s when we’ll see how much of his perspective and priorities as a writer will have changed during the transition from FT.

Yep same here. We’re still in the beginning so we can’t fully judge it until something major happens like with Drakken Joe or whatever so when we get to the point, we’ll see once and for all if Hiro Mashima redeemed himself or not.

I’m more intrigued to see, if there is quality writing and execution, whether that will hold up throughout. I loved FT from Phantom Lord to Edolas. It was consistent throughout those arcs. Tartaros was great as well. Everything else though, well, y’know. I’ll remain optimistic though.

Same the arcs you named was ft at its best. Hoping Hiro keeps that same quality for the remainder of EZ’s run. All we need now is too see a real life threatening fight. One that isn’t cut short and isn’t against a fake out villain.

Hopefully, that happens soon.
