Powers & Abilities Vergo tanked countershock better than BM

#41
Vergo's a beast, all type of feats showing he can tangle with weaker Yonkou Commanders.
Counter Shock and Takt both comparable to a Kong Gun, one handled by Vergo, the other not effective against Smoker, then Vergo beat Smoker.
Elephant Gun level attacks like Sanji's DJ kicks don't faze him much, and seemingly stronger than Kinemon by a solid margin, who's like the representation of the Scabbards.
Vergo cracked Sanji's leg, Sanji was blocking Judge's spear with his leg, and Judge can hold off Snack.
Based off the SBS of Oda claiming "joker" originally a Wano side boss, troublesome enemy, I don't see why characters like Vergo, Pica, Smoker are not around weaker Yonkou Commnder level, people like Ulti, Page One def can't handle them.
Well said. The thing about Vergo is we never really saw how much of a tank he was because he wasn't really "KOed", as in rendered unconscious. Law just sliced him into parts but he was still conscious.

He took attacks from Law, Sanji and Smoker and kept brushing them off.

On his behalf however that was still hax. What is not on Vergo's behalf is the lack of reflexes and eventually speed to avoid the slash however, which means that he wasn't peculiarly quick overall, just quite physically powerful.
What? Lol you don’t have to be “peculiarly quick” to be remarkably quick, Vergo was remarkably fast, durable and strong, to be able to keep up with Smoker and Sanji you have to be pretty fast to be fair, you can still be fast and not have fast reflexes.

All credits goes to @critical mindset from Thriller Bark forum.

This follows from three pieces of corroborative evidence.

(1) No plasma discharge

There is no electrical arc being generated from the attack onto BM like there clearly is against Vergo.

Which as you see there is a corona discharge enveloping around Vergo indicating that Law is generating a greater electrical potential resulting from the greater electrical energy/output.

The greater electrical current makes the air highly ionic and charged the creates the glow of plasma that we’re seeing in Vergo’s case but not in the other instances.

BM does not feature this aspect of the attack yet it prompts her to scream at the top of her lungs in agony.


(2) The sfx is different in BM’s case

BM is different from all these cases in that she does not feature the same sfx. All but in BMs case the sfx is the same.



In Doflamingo’s case his internal repairing ability renders the attack less effective. Law could not generate the same discharge of plasma presumably because he only had one arm at the time, and so his attack output was limited even though he had every bit of intent to maximise on the attack at that point.

(3) No exclamation marks

Even though BM was clearly in agony there were no exclamation marks I’m her panel.

Conclusion

Big Mom endured an attack that’s less lethal than all of the above, let alone the one Vergo powered through without howling in pain. Vergo was pushing Law to maximise his attack, whereas Law at this point seems to have it figured out, is not stressing it in testing out the range and efficacy of his abilities. Second time around he uses countershock it will produce a much greater effect.

There is simply a different make up of the body and mind that characterises Vergo. That much is becoming clearer for each chapter.

Enjoy :D
Was reading the discussion post, but I felt my iq beginning to drop, so I’m staying out of this one.
