You are wrong. Kuzan was going toe-toe easily with Garp despite being hesitated and having regrets and doubts. He didn't need someones help. In other words weakened Kuzan > old Garp. After all it's logical because he is prime Garp's protege and replacement in Navy. It's even proved by Kuzan having prime Garp physical strength.
And look at typical YC1 Shiryu. That garbage needed sneak attack to face Garp.
YC1's have never had portrayal even 20-30% from Emperors/Admirals.
he was going toe to toe matching prime Garp?!
your delusions are hilarious. you mean he matched old man Garp after he was freshly stabbed and was fighting the entire island of no names and BB YC…
kuzan can’t even compare to old man Garp with feats like this:
this is kuzan “easily” going toe to toe with old man Garp:
my guy was on guard and even attacked first and got speed blitzed then tossed around like nothing…
this is what kuzan looks like after getting tossed around by Garp meanwhile this is Garp after fighting 3 additional commanders plus the island and protecting his subordinates:
yet Aokiji did need help that much was showcased when Garp was surround by all the commanders on the island..
this punch you tried to pass off as matching prime Garp, was a DF+Haki based punch no Kuzan doesn’t match prime Garp in physical stats ever if that’s the case than Koby also matches prime Garp in physical stats since he can emulate the same punch Garp did to the ship. Oh wait Koby did showcase a better feat than kuzan..
Kuzan matching “prime” Garp but it’s really old man Garp after being stabbed:
stop trying to cope with Aokiji being the only one hesitant as Garp had the same issues having to fight his no1 protege.
again Aokiji gets speed blitzed while being on guard:
you’re trying to say kuzan>old man Garp but this doesn’t look like someone who can even keep up with a wounded old man who’s having to not only fight but also protect everyone around him..
kuzan even with the added benefit of his DF and hardening can’t even come close or compare to physical stats that could match something like this:
I applaud you for trying to use your headcannon and delusionalism to try and make up Kuzan being Prima Garps equal that was funny you trolls do have a way of letting your stupidity carry you so far.
but let’s take a look again and see that yes Kuzan is far weaker than even old man Garp that he did in fact need the aid of the other commanders and so much so that if this was a pure 1on1 Kuzan would’ve been hard low-mid diffed as he couldn’t even comprehend old man Garps speed and after two attacks he was already beat and battered.
I see not only Kuzan but shiryuu, basic, San Juan and Avalo all standing over Garp collectively not Kuzan alone.
you can talk about a YC not being portrayed to be 20-30% of an emperor I’ve never even made that statement but neither has an Admiral.
we’ve seen what happens when a mere admiral faces a Yonko:
akainu could barely hang with a sick dying white beard.
shanks only needed to use Haki to subdue and revert Greenbull out of his forest form.
Even film red depicts admirals to be bums compared to a Yonko.
