Trickywi Will Always Be Best Girl

Having gone through the VShojo talent, I mentioned that my favourite VTuber will get her own entry, that is Trickywi

Tricky started as a Pokemon Youtuber before deciding to take up VTubing to break out of her anxiety and quickly became a favourite among the community for her chaotic personality as the Egyptian Harpy Dragon taking alot of inspiration from Yu-Gi-Oh.
As gremlin like as Ironmouse.
As lewd as Projekt Melody.
Makes as much cute noises as Henya.
Has the vtuber model catalogue as gorgeous as Silvervale.
As off the wall as Nyanners.
And works on the same wavelength as Zentreya does with her chat.
She takes the best parts of Vshojo and creates the perfect personality I'm happy to watch everyday.
I'm simping at this point but Trickywi is worth simping over.
She's also one of only a handful of Vtubers that I know what she really looks like.

Fizzarolli Has Low Self-Esteem

One of the more phenomenal cartoons that has come out in the last five years is Helluva Boss, while I can fill a page for each character, I'd like to start with Fizzarolli. Spoiler warning is in effect.

Fizzarolli grew up with Blitzø in the circus and the two were best friends until a tragic accident cost Fizz his arms and horns. Both imps went their separate ways with Fizz under Sin Lord of Greed Mammon became a full time clown becoming a renowned mega star in the process, around the same time he fell in love with the Sin Lord of Lust Asmodeus, seeing his worth as a product of Mammon with massive insecurities about his broken horns, he slowly gets more scared of losing everything when he is kidnapped by Striker and forced to confront Blitzø about the incident in their past along with the risks of Fizz's relationship with Asmodeus becoming public among the higher class of demons; when tasked with winning the clown pageant against stiff competition against sexy circus twins as well as that one toxic fan that takes it too far with insulting him, Fizzarolli has a complete mental breakdown which forces Asmodeus to step in to save his sanity, reminding Fizz that he's not going to lose everything and that he is better than Mammon ever was.
With a new sense of worth with a song number called "two minutes notice" Fizz drops the ultimate fuck you to Mammon and quits.
The whole thing is sweetened by Asmodeus declaring his love for Fizzarolli publically while defending him from Mammon.
Anyone who has ever been a content creator having to navigate a dangerous web of constantly playing to a corporate puppet master all the time thinking that your achievements are the product of your employers and not your own talent and thinking that quitting is the end of everything will know all too well how Fizzarolli feels, it's not just YouTube or Twitch, it could be a toxic work environment in any job, a sports person fearing failure or a hobby that's stopped being fun, everyone who has ever felt that will grab a new perspective from witnessing Fizzarolli's mic drop moment.

Buggy Knows the System

There's a good reason why I saved Buggy until last.

Buggy is the first devil fruit user faced by Luffy, but became the butt of jokes after being defeated but kept alive for the majority of the series where he seems to indirectly influence major events following the breakout of Impel Down, effectively his position of power was achieved not through power but by clout as he knows Shanks personally and is at least acquainted with a number of major players, this allowed him to ascend to the Emperor's position with his Cross Guild group where he places bounties on marines, the fact that Crocodile and Mihawk join him for this, really helps, although both former Warlords wouldn't hesitate to use him as the scapegoat if things go wrong, this also calls the bounty system into play as it's less power level measuring and more level of clout and overall danger level in the world.
Also worth noting is that Buggy is one of the hardest pirates to kill with him able to split into pieces, it would become seriously OP if awakened.
Buggy essentially achieved his position through clout alone despite being a mid boss at best, some seem to think he would even grab the One Piece only to lose it to Luffy as part of the ending.

Arlong Makes No Sense

Back in East Blue, nothing was more intimidating than the fishman Arlong but in the grander scale of One Piece, Chopper could probably defeat him.

So he takes over a village to make it his base of operations and bleeds the people dry of their money and forces Nami into making maps and charts for one day rising up and taking over all the while paying off corrupt marines to not arrest him, this is where his plans start showing cracks; in the bigger picture, Fishmen are meant to represent the oppressed society, so when you do eventually learn about other fishmen and their struggles you become more sympathetic, all the while accepting that there are just flat out racists among said oppressed society such as Hody Jones, but you don't learn that until after the time skip, so when live action Arlong spells it out to you, the impact is kinda lost.
To play Devil's advocate if I did know about the fishmen's past going into Arlong Park, I would've thought someone of Arlong's strength could be a much bigger threat, instead he's a common pirate who couldn't hack it on his own and needs humans to do things that he should have no problem doing in the first place.

Don Krieg is Useless in One Piece

Alas poor Don Krieg, he never stood a chance.

Don Krieg was intended to show that even the most well prepared pirate is no match for the Grand Line as he gets defeated by Mihawk just for disturbing his sleep, in fact I don't think he even made the Grand Line.
Sad because his arsenal would make him a legitimate threat in any other anime, but here, he's about as worthless as Tenten from Naruto.
Exploding spears, a strong shield, stake launcher, poison gas launcher, capture net launcher, spiked cape, multiple guns and a fleet of ships under his command but still lost to a grumpy swordsman.
Any wonder his role is reduced to fodder in the Live Action Netflix adaption.
