Another thread I want to make when spoilers drop is a Hiryuu Kaen gauntlet.
Who's the strongest character that Hiryuu Kaen can oneshot?
Round 1: characters take the attack clean without any defense.
Round 2: characters can block but are not allowed to dodge.
Conditions: Zoro gets a full restore in each round.
Gauntlet
- Vergo
- Hybrid Page One
- Hybrid Drake
- Cracker (in his biscuit armour)
- Jack
- Doflamingo
- Queen
- Tankman
- Jozu
- Issho
- Big Mom
- Sakazuki
- Dragon!Kaido
If you think I should reorder the gauntlet or have suggestions for characters to add (and at which positions to add them), let me know.
My Thoughts
Round 1
Zoro probably stops at Big Mom or if not her, then definitely Sakazuki. The Chadkazuki tanked two bloodlusted strikes from the World's Strongest Man while off guard and was still kicking. As powerful and lethal as Hiryuu Kaen is, I don't see it putting down Sakazuki.
Round 2
I feel like Zoro stops at Issho. As a top tier, he should be able to at least block such an attack from Zoro (especially aided by his Gravity Fruit). It would be disappointing if he couldn't do that much.
A Doffy Defense with God Thread and Spider Web may be more formidable than what Queen can muster, but it wouldn't change the final result. Hiryuu Kaen slices through Doffy's strings and takes him out.
