Is this the worst trope?
Character has an OP power but is written out of the story or too stupid to use it properly

you act like anyone but luffy, zoro, or sanji do shit to begin with

I mean most of the team will get at least one major fight for themselves in an arc. Robin hasn't had a real 1v1 since Skypia. She performs decently in team battles, but it would be nice to see her shine and the fact that she got forced into babysitting in Dressarosa is bullshit.
Brayden Ortiz
Benjamin Martinez
OI! JOSUKE!

Robin's fruit works fine for the most part, it's just she is relatively normal strength wise and anything she sprouts takes damage. She can't do much damage to really strong people and she risks severe injury using her ability. So in the New World her role as a support is more fitting than ever.
You can think of it from the perspective that anyone can get an ability which means it wouldn't be uncommon for abilities to be matched with people who don't make good use of them or simply can't.
One Piece doesn't take itself very serious in this regard often anyways, as you'll see gimmicky characters who have an ability that perfectly embodies them, sometimes played off solely as a gag.

Caleb Anderson
She looks disgusting now, I want the cool looking Robin back
Tyler Gomez
This dude. Basically reality wrapping powers and Oda kept hitting him with nerfs after nerfs. And even then, he should end any fight instantly.
Julian James
Robin's DF isn't a broken as it seems.
First the strenght of her extra limbs are limited by her own physical strenght (she complained about Yama being too heavy during her fight agains him). Then damages inflicted to her extra limbs are inflicted to her real body. Her power is great against mediocre fighters or for surprise attacks, not so much for drawn out 1 vs 1 against fast and strong fighters.

Robin fruit is mediocre.
These two on the other hands have op fruit, but they're usage and full potential are limited by the plot.
One is literally light. The other have the ability to manipulate everything in a island sized sphere.
Xavier Collins
These two are the most egregious by far in one piece
Kizaru can move at light speed but all of his fights aren't over in an instant
And Law can do whatever the fuck he wants once his Room is up
Wyatt Diaz
wasnt hers supposed to attack eternal organs but the editors said it was too gory?
Joshua Mitchell
Not even that, the manga got so focused on Luffy that it killed the manga for me
>wait for Luffyspics denying it
Lincoln Ortiz
>Robin fruit is mediocre.
Robin's DF is very flexible and has infinite applications. However, it is not suited for fighting. The guys she can beat, she generally stomps them no problem, but she doesn't have haki, so there isn't a lot she can do.
Xavier Hall
Robin should have learnt Rokushiki rather than Giganto Fetiche. Her speciallity was assassination when she joined SH.
David Roberts
How is Robin OP?
Hunter Watson
>breaks your neck
Carter Williams
>He isn't the first post
Liam Harris
Haki would make her op as hell. Also, imagine awakening.
Jordan Gray
>a character only matters if they get a fight
Based retard who didn't read the last fifteen arcs. There are other plots besides fights. And even in those fights there are usually important points later used in the story.
Michael Campbell
How many times do I have to tell you Oda specifically writes characters in a manner where they don't go around just destroying shit. They usually have a duty or their personality is a certain way that is established usually the moment we see them (Kizaru being lazy and slow, Law being serious and someone who plans things out in his favor.)
Charles Young
Basically this

Nicholas Gray
He's roleplaying as Okuyasu. You're as stupid as Okuyasu, huh?
Jackson Reed
Kizaru is a better example.
Grayson Baker
Pre-timeskip robin is a eternal waifu.
Zachary Powell

Grayson Barnes
I keep hearing this argument like she isn't the only person on the crew besides Luffy who can grow giant limbs. And not to be the smug britshman, but it's 2019, women can get hurt in manga, if everyone else can get beaten to near death, Robin shouldn't be excluded from fighting in case she gets hurt, she's more than capable of defending herself. Strength isn't the issue, danger isn't the issue, the issue is that she's OP. It would be more fun if it was acknowledged in the story, instead everyone just chooses to ignore it because it's inconvenient to the plot.
Ryan Gutierrez
>Robin learning Rokushiki
Despite that never going to happen, I would have LOVED to see that as well.
Matthew Diaz
This.
And QT Nami > harlot Nami
Xavier Cook
Obligatory
Adrian Cruz
>grow infinite arms for infinite rankyakus
>stomp the air with 20 legs for faster soru
Holy shit this needs to happen right fucking now
Zachary Miller
>grow infinite legs or arms for infinite rankyakus or shigans
Fixed for you. And yes, that would be awesome alright! Hell, just a triple Rankyaku would be fine.
Luke Lewis
Didn't Robin fight that exploding guy in Dressrosa? Granted his powers hard counter her since it was basically "touch me and lose a limb"
Robert Baker
Also minor rankyakus coming from the walls and the floor
Fucking Oda
Daniel Jones
>character has an OP power but isn't written out of the story and said power becomes central to the entire backstory of the series
Christopher Foster
Haki was a mistake.
John Cook
Can't she just grow a hand in her opponents heart or brain then crush it, instantly killing them?
Liam Harris
>Character is generally in top 3 in popularity polls
>Is also the MC
>Is focused upon.
Wow, it's almost like Oda is appealing to majority of the fanbase?
Carter Robinson
Haki ruined One Piece fights. It was cool seeing hardcounters like Luffy VS Enel, or improvisions like Luffy VS Crocodile. Now it's just 'luckily I know a haki that instantly counters this fruit power)
Samuel Collins
>his neck is weak enough to be snapped by a tiny lady-girl
t. filtered by fishman island, never would have survived in the new world
Grayson Morales
>'luckily I know a haki that instantly counters this fruit power
Has literally never happened, Haki only supplements physical abilities and was necessary to justify some superhuman feats, as well as being an excuse to not shoehorn seastone into every scene with df users.
Also good job quoting the ONLY two fights where elemental interactions were important, like every other baby who complains about Haki while ignoring that fights are handled exactly the same as how 95% of pre-haki fights were handled. Not to mention it’s been explicitly stated that haki cannot negate logia powers if the user has transformed into their element before being hit, which means ANY elemental-matchup fights that could happen post-haki will still happen the same way as how Crocodile or Enel was handled (remember that they were ultimately just punched into submission anyways like every other enemy).
Nicholas Ross
Or maybe a gigantic-ass Rankyaku unleashed by a giant leg made out of a thousand limbs!
Logan Watson
its a kids show
Austin Reed
>Summon it and it literally just murders everything in range with 0 way to defend
Asher Collins

Josiah Williams
>OP power
Wot
She can make anything people can already make, in fact support heroes would be stronger from their one of a kind advanced tech they created themselves.. That's nothing compared to actual combat quirks.
Angel Torres
>tfw robin will never lick your entire body using 1000 tongues
Noah Peterson
WTF did Robin,Franky and Brook do after they had their introductory arcs except have cameos here and there?
Xavier Mitchell
Toei: "We've lightened her skin to bring it in line with Oda's design"
