>Neither did Oda
He had a 5-year plan. And he expanded it. But he didn't change it.
>Then there's the haki retcon, nika, etc. Those are both worse than anything Kishi has done
No. Madara's death at the hands of aliens and Kaguya is a hundred times worse. Naruto receiving the power of a god as the chosen one when Kishi was trying to show him off to those who resist fate is literally a contradiction to its original theme.
> Jinbe being mentioned by Arlong isn't anything special
It's one of those rare moments. And it's impressive, especially considering how important the conflict with Jimbei was for Arlong. Not to mention the Sun Pirates' symbol on his chest.
>I doubt Oda had thought up fishman island back then
Fishman Island is literally first mentioned in Baratie arc. Yasuke also mentioned mermaids later, as well as fishmen. He mentioned that Jimbei is a Shichibukai too.
>he would have made some of the fishmen more sympathetic
He already mentioned Jimbei and the conflict with Arlong. Who is literally a hardcore racist.
>Vaguely mentioning characters or places
This is not vaguely.
Oda provided some important information about the characters. Conflict between groups of fishmen over their beliefs. Jimbei became a Shichibukai. Fishman Island as an important location. The sun symbol on the chest is literally the most important plot point of the entire One Piece rn.

> Nobody gives a fuck about Garland, Loki or Gunko
As you say, Narutard.
>I've never seen a manga make so many major characters look so much worse as the series goes on
Naruto. Literally the entire sane fanbase hates Kishi for what he did to the supporting cast.
>when Ginny was captured, he sat back and did nothing
He's not Luffy. I'm sorry Oda didn't write him as just a carbon copy of his son. Like he did with Minato, who's also just a moralistic faggot without a single interesting character trait.
