And? Ace and Jumbo fought for hours. Does that make them top tier? Just means that they were of similar strength is all.
Oda had already shown acoc in the oden flashback before. Do he had no reason for not showing kaido using it. He could have silhouetted kaido using his forms and stuff too.
But oda chose the weakest form for oden to get a hit in. That's the facts.
The whole point is Oden never got one-shot since they have been fighting for a while before that.
Oda was clearly holding back Kaidou's moveset and hence drew it like that. That doesn't mean Oden's weak.
Sure. Roger, who wanted to meet the samurai, and probably/definitely wanted to recruit him, used a full power attack. Lol
I don't care about Kid. Law wouldn't have gotten one shot like that.
And there's no indication of shanks' kamusari being weaker than Roger's lol.
Does Roger look like a person who pulls his punches to you?
Lmao he was itching to fight Whitebeard or Garp or Sengoku, basically strong guys he recognized.
This Samurai was one of them.
Kaido being top tier in the flash back is very debatable.
It really isn't.
Kaidou already "Crushed" Moria and established himself as the Ruler of Wano.
Ace is a victim of the series power creep and the length of op lol. He had the highest known bounty at the time of his death. If he had been alive rn, you bet bis bounty would be accurate to his strength.
It still doesn't change my point.
Ace wasn't a victim of Powercreep or any other nonsense, he is just underestimated by New Fans who think he is Who's Who level based on Bounty scaling which is ass.
YC are regarded highly by yonko themselves. With Shanks asking Marco to join him, BM asking King to join her, Kaido saying Jack was strong after getting blitzed by Sulong inu and meko etc...
They see YC as strong and capable fighters. Not this low level scrubs you try to paint them as being seen.
The weakest Admiral literally took a dump on two YC at the same time.
They really aren't all that, and having a low bounty only shows that Shanks just started off as a pirate which makes sense considering his growth.
