Of course Luffy’s attacks were always gonna be a big part of Kaido’s defeat, I’m not so ignorant to the tropes of shonen manga to think it was gonna be any more clever than that...and adding the ability to wield CoC like another form of AdCoA is defensible on its own, it’s just ridiculous that this rubber asshole is poised to defeat a Yonko by himself (unless more allies join the fray) when we’ve spent years hearing about how Kaido can’t be taken down by regular means or a single person. The rooftop stuff has been so thrilling precisely because Luffy WASN’T the only one doing all the work, we actually got to see the characters we’ve been told multiple times are his peers or equals do some shit that would drive that point home; now that he’s sent everyone back down to the floor, it’s just another paint-by-numbers battle, and we were promised something much more magnificent for this arc.
