OK but the issue is, if Kaku uses his very blunt nose as a sharp weapon, it will deal damage as a blunt weapon, not as a sharp tool, defeating the purpose of using Shigan in the first place, a tool to kill humans.
The whole point of using Shigan is to target vital areas, such as the heart, lungs, etc. Obviously this cannot be done properly if the tool you are using is completely flat. That is why comparing Kaku's completely flat nose to Jyabura's sharp and precise finger is faulty.
Yes, stationed as in one place. All of Kaku's damage dealing moves, including his strongest move, require him to be in one place shooting from a distance.
Your argument about Zolo being ranged fails because
1.) Majority of Zolos attacks were close range
2.) Majority of Luffys attacks were long range yet Lucci continued using Geppo to maneuver
Had nothing to do with Zolos range or smthing like that lolol it has to do with Kakus range and how his Hybrid form slows him down.
Zolo didnt use range much at all, pretty much all of his attacks were close range...
His legs and arms actually worsens his close range abilities, thats why he had to keep pushing Zolo back keeping him several feet back.
Again think about how tall people fight vs how short people fight. Talls keep distance but are vulnerable up close and usually slower. Shorts are outranged but better at close range and usually faster.
He didnt outmaneuver Base Kaku. They sparred equally, Kaku was lacking power however not speed.
Again the tradeoff, Kaku got more power but didn't use said power in conjunction with Geppo because he wasnt able to.
Geppo adds power to attacks just like a speeding car has more power behind it then a slow car. Kaku would have further increased the power of his mid-range sword and leg pressure but didnt and stayed on the ground not using Soru or Geppo.
He didnt though, he actually lost speed hence why he didnt use the 2 speed-based Rokushiki techniques Geppo and Soru whatsoever compared to Lucci and Jyabura who spammed them.
It was a set up but it still highlighted Kakus neck being vulnerable when its out, which is how Kaku has his neck a majority of the time.
Thats because his base form was physically smaller and weaker, not because it was slower.
Kaku faring better against Zolo in his Hybrid is due to his Hybrid simply being way stronger. The extra speed in Base form was a worthy tradeoff for the extra power in Hybrid.
No, Oda conveyed Kaku got slower in exchange for extra physical power. Kaku literally went from using Soru and Geppou (2 speed based moves), to using Rankyaku and Neck attacks (2 strength based moves), and situational defense (box form, pasta machine form)
Kaku exchanged speed for power.
Simple as that.
As you said Geppou and Soru were ineffective thus Kaku was willing to trade those moves in exchange for greater Rankyaku and neck strength etc.
