Can’t believe we’ve been having the same akainu yonko magma debate for over a month while the actual dude sits at his desk getting chumped on by retired sengoku.
It's frustrating how much Oda wastes Akainu but I suspect it's due to plot convenience.
Akainu is an executioner and walking genocide. Oda can't pull his death fakeout BS with a guy who can melt and even vaporise your insides, your whole body parts instantly.
What he did to Whitebeard and Ace is underrated.
Oda openly has massive bias towards Akainu due to the actor he's based on and being extremely fond of him so he's gonna wank Akainu the most naturally.
Even now he's probably smugly stroking his ego that he had Kaido and Big Mom get knocked into magma and implied to have died in it, but I doubt they're dead too, not yet anyway.
If Kizaru had shown up instead of Aokiji or Kizaru when they did, then OP would have probably ended there and then.
I wish Oda had given Kaido and BM more confirmed kills especially of people not on their side but alas, Akainu needs to stand top ultimately.
I just hope Oda doesn't drop the ball with Akainu when it's finally his turn and his ultimate storyline happens.
