General & Others Times the anime did better

#22
I loved the inclusion of Tashigi bowing to Nami in the anime when telling her she would take care of the Punk Hazard children. It sold how humble and genuine her desire for Nami to trust her with them was.

The anime extension also has a great callback to the Arlong arc when Nami said that the kids suffered because of the Marine's corruption.

Imho, that scene should have made the manga cut. Oda could have easily deleted uninteresting scenes with Kinemon, and Brownbeard to make space for that one.

The death of Whitebeard was my favorite, the contrast of the blood with the black and white, with Teach going from fear to laugh like crazy where really cool

Big Mom musics give a much better vibe in the anime, as well as Germa transformations, and back in Sobondy there were a lot of cool moments that have become better in the anime like Supernovas introduction, Luffy punchs the Celestial and Kuma in the end.

This video explains it well..........if you have time for it...........
Its not really a good video. Like, its a "fidelity" argument that I don't think really holds up since the effect was pretty much the same, and the anime clarified SEVERAL TIMES that Luffy was a weakling in comparison to Kaido.

Its also just a big disinenous considering people were later corrected about how strong Kaido really was in this arc where the fucking scabbards are doing damage to him.

I'm just going to say that that video is total garbage. Like, fuck me, its absolutely attrocious and the guy doesn't know shit for fuck all nothing.

Nope.......in manga its clear that luffy is no match for kaido + shows kaido's speed..........compared to anime.........where it seems they are at least close + no speed feats for kaido......

What has that to do with how luffy was potrayed lol..........luffy didn't had adv coa to hurt kaido lol.............

How does the anime make them seem close AT ALL?

Kaido brushes off A FREAKING KING KONG GUN LIKE ITS NOTHING. Luffy's strongest attack did ZERO DAMAGE. It literally DIDN'T EVEN SCRATCH KAIDO.

HOW DOES THAT MAKE THEM CLOSE AT ALL?!

If you think Kaido absolutely no selling Luffy's strongest attack like its nothing, and later calling Luffy a terrible weakling.


Yes, the anime emphasized Kaido's toughness more, but the effect is still pretty much the same. Kaido is an invincible monster that Luffy has no chance of defeating.

Like, the anime SPECIFICALLY GOES OUT OF ITS WAY to EXPLICITLY POINT OUT that Kaido is WAY STRONGER.

If anything, you can easily argue that the anime's version of the fight made Kaido look too competent considering his performances in the manga while in his dragon form.

And Kaido is supposed to be drunk during that fight in the anime.

Like yes, Kaido's speed isn't emphasized, but it is emphasized that Luffy has nothing in his arsenal that could beat Kaido, which wasn't the case in the manga.

@JazzMazz Even luffy's adv coa - kong gun didn't do that much of anything to kaido (chapter 1001)...............

im sorry dont how you can say the anime did luffy vs kaido better ,oda was doing something pacific with it, he had luffy using multiple strong attacks on a quit drunk kaido doing not much to him, how does adding multiple pushing contests in to this scene add to the story, the manga was a simple trying to do a message luffy doesnt have abillty to do any seriously damage and also showing kaido is just not only a brute he has speed.

The fight was supposed to make a very specific point in a specific way, with Kaidou sighing and casually blitzing Luffy, it was supposed to be nonchalant. Instead it completely went off on a tangent to do some senseless dbz type clash which completely changed the purpose of the entire scene, it rewrote history for the worse.

Now when Luffy gets clipped by thunder bagua despite using FS in the second encounter it means absolutely nothing. The entire purpose of this future scene is now meaningless.
This 100%*
The anime take the most important thing away, Kaido sighing and speedblitzing Luffy was the most important point of the battle, showing the large different between both characters. We know Luffy would be able to hurt Kaido, their was no point to let him use KKG in showdown.

And now they gonna get hard time to showing the scene where Kaido using Thunder bagua again where Luffy barely dodge it but showing he can fight back. They take this important key away for something with never was important in first place.
One of the worst decide with Toei make, cutting of the speedblitz attack of Kaido.
