Galaxy slayer zed look at the moves12/28/2022 ![]() ![]() The Wano arc naturally has it happen again, since the raid on Kaido's island involves a massive army attacking a place with only two relatively small entrances.This continues in the Whole Cake Island arc: Brook and Pedro split up from the rest of the group to steal a copy of Big Mom's Poneglyph, as they'll never get a better shot at it.Also happens at the end of the Zou arc, though this time as planned, where the newly-formed Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance splits into four groups to accomplish various goals: Luffy, Nami, Chopper, Brook, and three Minks (Carrot, Pedro, and Pekoms) head to Whole Cake Island to get Sanji back from Big Mom Zoro, Usopp, Robin, Franky, Law and the Heart Pirates, and the three adult samurai head to Wano to prepare for the war against Kaido Cat Viper and some subordinates leave to look for Marco and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates and Dogstorm, Momonosuke, and the rest of the Minks remain on Zou until the time comes for everyone to reunite.Luffy orders the group on Sunny to head to the next island because one of Big Mom's ships came after them. Law gets captured by Doflamingo and Luffy chases after him. Franky, Usopp and Robin head out with the dwarves to destroy the factory. Finally, Zoro and Kin'emon wait outside the Colosseum for Luffy. Sanji reunites with Nami's group while Kin'emon gets ambushed by Doflamingo's men. Then Luffy joined the tournament, Robin and Usopp get separated from Law and end up meeting the dwarves and coincidentally Zoro and Franky wind up there too. ![]() The Monster Trio, Franky and Kin'emon will destroy the Smile factory. Nami, Chopper, Momonosuke and Brook would guard the ship. Originally Law, Robin and Usopp would go to Green Bit to give back Caesar Clown to Doflamingo. Happens especially repeatedly in the Dressrosa arc due to several circumstances.In the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, Luffy has his crew split up when the enemies that arrive prove too strong for them, but after Kizaru cuts off their escape, Kuma appears and sends all the Straw Hats to separate islands. In the Enies Lobby arc, the crew is forced to split up to fight the CP9 agents who hold the keys to Robin's handcuffs. In the Skypiea arc, they split into two groups- one to find the gold and one to get the Merry to a place where the gold team can meet it to escape, but as a result of a variety of happenings related to the Survival Game (like Eneru attacking the Merry and a snake causing the gold team to get separated), this doesn't work out as they expect and the crew ends up separated until the climax. In the Alabasta arc, the crew splits up to act as decoys to engage the Baroque Works Officer Agents so that Vivi can stop the rebellion. This happens very frequently, usually when the Straw Hats are breaking into their destination.There's one major advantage to splitting the party, though - if The Millstone knows that the party is willing to let the monster catch the slowest member and let everyone else go, having the party split up forces all of them to deal with the threat on an equal basis. ![]() In fact, this trope tends to be defied quite a bit more often than played straight, leading to its opposite, Never Split the Party. In a straighter horror story, this allows the party to get picked off one by one. The obvious problem is that if everyone is out there alone (whether they want to be or not), they don't have anyone to help out when the scary creature eventually gets them - which tended to happen all the time to Scooby Doo. It's named after Fred's Catchphrase from Scooby-Doo, which shows about how seriously works tend to take this trope. It's commonly seen as a Horror Trope, and a sign of severe Genre Blindness at that. ![]() When a group of people, faced with a problem to solve or a place to explore, decides to split up and have everyone tackle it individually. ![]()
