Is the One Piece Community Still Overestimating Enel’s Return?

by

Summary

  • Enel completed his goal in One Piece by reaching the moon, making his return uncertain.
  • Fans speculate on Enel’s return due to lack of closure, but he needs a new reason to join the story.
  • The story may not be ready for Enel’s return as he lacks development compared to other characters.

The narrative of One Piece has consistently excelled at wrapping up plot threads neatly. From major One Piece antagonists to minor characters who only appear briefly, most characters get a chance to fully develop their stories. As a result, when a character hasn’t been significant for a while, many viewers anticipate that the character will reappear in the story of One Piece, so they can officially conclude their narrative arc.

As an avid One Piece enthusiast, I can’t help but ponder over a character that has left an indelible mark on many fans – Enel, the formidable antagonist from the Skypiea Arc. Despite his prolonged absence, there remains a compelling case for his potential resurgence in the Final Saga, adding depth and intrigue to the epic narrative. However, I can’t help but feel that fans are growing weary of the endless speculations regarding Enel’s comeback, which have been echoing across the One Piece community on social media for quite some time now.

Enel’s Story In One Piece Didn’t End After Skypiea

Despite His Defeat Enel Achieved His Goal

Following Enel’s loss on Skypiea, some viewers who only watch the anime might think his story has concluded. However, in a special storyline called “One Piece Cover Story,” Enel manages to achieve his dream of reaching the moon. On the moon, he encounters space pirates, frees a band of lunar automatons, and uncovers the moon’s ancient past. This could be an excellent finale for the character in “One Piece,” but it’s clear that there are still many ways Enel could enrich the series further.

Across the fanbase, there’s been much discussion about the possibility of Enel reappearing in the story. Mainly because he’s one of the few main antagonists yet to be involved in the central narrative since his defeat. In fact, fans have often anticipated his return during almost every arc prior to One Piece’‘s Final Saga. Given the persistent speculation about Enel among fans, many feel it’s best to remain patient and observe what becomes of his character in the future.

Enel Needs A New Goal If He Were To Return To One Piece

He Currently Has No Major Reason To Fight The World Government

  • Until He Fines A Reson He Shouldn’t Join The Fight

On the flip side, there are several points that argue against Enel’s potential comeback in the One Piece storyline. Primarily, Enel has accomplished his lifelong objective within the series. He reached “Fairy Vearth” and declared the moon as his domain. If he doesn’t encounter a fresh incentive that sets him against Luffy or the One Piece World Government, it appears improbable that we’ll see Enel again in the storyline.

Despite speculation among fans that the One Piece villain, Enel, could play a significant role in opposing the self-declared divine nobles, it’s unlikely for now as he seems content on the moon. A more plausible scenario would be other characters traveling to the moon, which might prompt Enel’s reappearance in One Piece. For now, though, there’s no indication that Enel will make a comeback.

The Story Of One Piece May Not Be Ready For Enel

Enel Needs More Development Before He Returns

In terms of narrative structure within the “One Piece” series, reintroducing Enel might not be the most beneficial move. Unlike characters like Crocodile or Buggy, who have had time to grow and justify their comeback, Enel’s abrupt change of heart about staying on the moon seems hasty. Without giving him adequate time to demonstrate how his experiences on the moon have impacted him, bringing him back could be a misstep. However, if Enel were to reappear in just a few chapters to illustrate how the moon has transformed him, it might make his return more plausible.

Many fans are tired of constant speculation about Enel, the Skypiea Arc villain from One Piece, potentially returning. The primary source of their frustration stems from an excess of fans who persistently suggest that the character will reappear in each new arc. Regardless of whether or not Enel returns to One Piece, he was a remarkable antagonist and made a significant impact on the arc where he was featured.
