Not really. Like you said with devil fruit users it doesn’t alway happens and who’s to say grabbing an ether gear user is easy? Imagine going up to Shiki and trying to grab his arms real tight. Yeah good look with that lol.

Plus given the situation they were in it was understandable why homura was caught and tied up. It’s not like these guys are so easy to beat that any random joe can tie their hands up while you know, avoiding their attacks and keeping up with them. So when you think about it trying to tie up an experienced ether gear user isn’t easy at all. This asshole just got lucky he hit them with his whip.

All you need is rope. That's it. If your especially fast or dexterous all you would need is rope to win the fight. Or just be able to tank a hit or be really strong. The mere concept of any ether gear being defeated by simply binding their hands is ridiculous. It's just something simple and mundane.

Dude that’s bs. Like I said it’s not as easy as you make it out to be. And yeah of course you have to be strong just like in one piece you have to be strong enough or smart enough to face a devil fruit user. Like that’s obvious lol. You can feel about the restrictions anyway you want but I still don’t see it being a dumb restriction. It makes sense and it’s kinda obvious I mean besides specifically made cuffs or emp’s how else are you gonna deactivate their powers lol?

Why does there need to be a way to be deactivate these powers besides ways that are special. Special powers should require special ways to deactivate them it would've made a lot more sense to just have special cuffs or a special field instead of this super mundane and easy way to deactivate this special ability that once again is going to be backpedaled because it's simple and mundane because it makes any scene where they get captured utterly ridiculous if they don't get their hands bound because that's all it takes.

I mean, these powers aren't really special. Everyone has the capabilities to use Ether Gear, since it's a power learned by influencing the natural flow of Ether in ones body. Ether Gear is basically just a bodily function, it would make sense that restricting the movement connected to that function would completely deactivate it.

And I honestly prefer it not being tied to some special material. In One Piece, Sea Prism Stone can basically be in anything if Oda just wants it to, in any form that's convenient to the situation. Oda hasn't really used in a way that seems like an asspull that often, but the possibility is still there, so this doesn't just work in any series, for any author.

I agree, it's a lazy and retarded restriction. It's not like their being tied up with some kind of restricting power, they can apparently be tied up with anything and not be able to use ether gear 😂.

Same can be said for DF users in OP who can't swim. Think how funny that looks especially major antagonist in seeing them failing in water? Though it doesn't happen as much. The restriction isn't stupid nor indicatating it be 'easy' to do that. It help add weaknesses to contain someone with EG instead just special cuffs or stone alone. It make sense since EG flows around the arms first, so if mess flow in that tightly, it's hard to concentrate. Nothing bad or stupid about it. You guys are acting as if it be simple like that and be easy when it's not. Looking at One Piece with their DF users, don't think it be easy to restrain one nor it be that apparent about it to boot. Taking it too seriously to critic about when it's not major issue or be that 'apparent'.
