SBS 89: Oda Admitting rampant PIS.
D: I read the manga and watched the anime and noticed that after Luffy uses Gear Fourth, he not only can’t use Haki for 10 minutes but it also carries the tradeoff (risk) of being so fatigued that he can’t move. However, in Ch. 885 he is moving totally normally right? Why isn't that tradeoff there anymore? -P.N. BUSHI
O: The tradeoff of not being able to move that you’re referring to never existed in the first place. If he wanted to move but couldn’t use Haki during that time, he could still run from place to place to hide. In Dressrosa, after using Gear Fourth, he coincidentally ran into his allies and supporters so he could preserve his energy while they carried him to the next fight. If those people weren’t there then Luffy would just have to do his best!

it's fine actually. We need to understand Luffy is using adv.coa/ryou with his attacks now, so he uses more of his haki. Tanking and damaging someone like Katakuri is not really the same hurting and tanking Kaido and BM. I know it's maybe irritating but Luffy will win this and the next g4 will last longer!
I just have issue that Kaido is still fine after all the 5 wg attacks, he should be at least more exhausted and more blood ... but i guess it's pain in the ass for Oda to draw that on every panels.

I don't know it is intentional or not but sometimes wounds won't appear but later they were in bandages (Sengoku after MF war), Kaido after the stab, Luffy after partially hit by thunder bagua etc. But I think Kaido case might be intentional, he might be having peak regeneration abilities....zoans can recover faster afterall...
He didn't but he had no haki so he didn't see the attack coming, even Zoro let his guard down.
Luffy without haki against a top tier is losing badly. Here he doesn't want to hide or run because he is not alone.
In WCI we know he ran away against Cracker and Kata after G4 and he said he could do it as well in Dressrosa.
Unless the adv CoA adds a new toll on the drawback, he should be able to run and hide which is something I don't like by the way. This drawback is awful
