In chapter 1010 we saw zoro getting hit by kaid

Analyzing the aftermath, we know for a fact that Zoro was lifted up to some degree, but didnt change in position horizontally

On the other hand, we saw law being send flying by the attack.

Though there is a similarity between the two that both zoro and Law most probably took the attack on their stomaches

To make it clearer, let's see the visual here



We can see that there are two kind of sparks, the white one and the black one

Seeing by how Oda made the difference in size between the two, it's most likely that the white one is the real attack, while the black one is the CoC haki blast

Now, notice that the white spark didnt go through Law, Law was only hurt by the black spark. While as you can see, zoro was hurt by both the white spark and the black spark

This tells us that zoro took the attack fully

As stated earlier, you might argue why was Law sent flying while zoro not?

By real life physics, zoro shouldve thrown away if he took fully. To answer this question, it's simply that the physics governing one piece world isnt exactly the same as our real life physics

Here is a comparison



We can see that luffy too wasnt sent flying despite taking the attack fully. Moreover, both too were fixed in position before taking the attack. Zoro was lying on the ground, while luffy was mid air and got blitzed

Another point is that, unlike zoro, law had initial velocity before receiving the impact, which could possibly explain why he got sent flying while zoro didnt

how is that even to debate he fully took on that attack

-Both Law and Zoro took the attack to the stomach.
-Law wasn't sent flying he dropped pretty much where he was already standing.
-The white lightning passed through both of them the same way (hit them in their gut) not sure what you're seeing here.


Man, Oda got downgraded when it comes to fights choreography. First it was Zoro's Asura (well, it's not like Asura is good looking or anything in the first place) and now we have Kaido apparently hitting Zoro and Law with Thunder Bagua and we don't even know if Zoro did a back flip or not.
I thought that panel was pretty cool tbh, it showcased just how fast Kaidou is. And tbh it's not even that confusing.

It looks good for Kaido but it felt "rushed" imo. Just like how Sanji was in the bath house in front of Drake and Hawkins. One glare and Sanji's already in the sky with Shinobu, Nami and Robin. Like, what the hell happened there Lmao?

I thought this too until i found some detail that the white spark passes through the right side of Law's body, it looks to me that the white spark didnt really hit Law. Moreover, extra white sparks emanating from Law's body are nowhere to be seen, different to zoro's where we can see clearly the extra white sparks emanating from zoro's body

i thought the white spark is kaido moving at high speed

Nothing is emanating "from" Zoro's body. The white lightning is just a trail of where Kaidou was moving/swinging his club.

It starts above Zoro since that's where he started his swing, hits him downwards around the stomach and then continues past Zoro and hits Law in the stomach, then continues past Law.

It's pretty straightforward.

okay, thanks you enlightened me

but still, you can see that the trajectory of the attack stops at zoro then starts again from zoro, whereas in Law, the trajectory didnt exactly pass through Law's body
