Character Discussion Sengoku & Sakazuki - A Comparison Between The Two Fleet Admirals
- Thread starter SakazOuki
- Start date
Morality, Character & Ambition
Sengoku has never shown any ambition besides fulfilling his Admiral/ Fleet Admiral duties. He cares about upholding the law because it is his job
Sengoku ordered the Ohara buster call, did he do it because he thought it was right? That's most certainly not the case. To Sengoku, government orders are the words of god, to some extent "Government Dog" suits him the most
Sengoku was also involved in the killing of any pregnant woman in contact with Roger, likely among countless atrocities we are not aware of
His reactions to Whitebeard's last speech and Vegapunk's speech are also telling of what kind of a man he is
Now he might have gone soft with age, but that doesn't cancel the kind of man he was in the past
As for character, even though Sengoku is supposed to be the only CoC user, he sure was portrayed as a paranoid faint hearted soldier, contrary to Sakazuki being a tenacious and confident leader. In Marineford, this was portrayed clearly
Sengoku was a competent strategist in Marineford, but failed big time as a leader. Luckily for the marines Sakazuki was there to take the mantle
In countless panels we see Sengoku acting weak and indecisive
Whereas Akainu was raising morale and thinking of a plan to reverse this loss
When Blackbeard obtained the Gura, we see Sengoku shitting bricks
Meanwhile Akainu gave him the "I'm coming for your ass later" look and continued pursuing Luffy
Akainu even amidst this chaotic era is still as confident as one can be
When it comes to ambition, Sakazuki has his own goals, he is hellbent on destroying piracy. This is what drives him to uphold the law unlike Sengoku who is doing it for his office job. When Sakazuki bombed the Ohara ship, he did it out of principle.
He is as passionate about destroying piracy as Luffy is about becoming the Pirate King. Sengoku never had such resolve.
Akainu is the type of dawg to walk into the Gorosei hall, light a cigar, mock them to their face and even give them an order
Meanwhile Sengoku
It is no wonder that the marines under Sakazuki's leadership are stronger and more determined than they've ever been
Moving HQ to the New World is also a ballsy move that Sengoku would never commit to
In conclusion
-Akainu is a stronger leader than Sengoku
-Akainu works on principle and ambition unlike Sengoku who was more worried about the Government's approval
-Akainu is individually stronger than Sengoku
Basically better than Sengoku at everything
"B-but Sengoku has CoC"

If this guy is having a redemption, despite all shit he made, why akainu won't have a redemption?

Yes, at least Akainu appears to have a firmer ideology himself which he adheres to and is even willing to rebel against his higher ups, while Sengoku was more of a tool with no morals of his own, hence being opposed to even doubting the WG.
I can see Akainu to some extent breaking free from the WG's course, which was already hinted by him complaining and giving the Gorosei orders. Doflamingo also viewed the Marines as a separate entity to the WG in the quest of dominance. And now we already see the Gorosei heading out, Kizaru struggling due to his own morals, Fujitora also being critical of the WG and Ryokugyu being an Akainu fanboy in the first place.
Given how all of the admirals behave, them being mindless tools of the WG doesn't seem as obvious.

Holy fuck Lee is liberal
"War criminal"
His entire campaign ran on being anti-war
Akainu will MAKE ONE PIECE GREAT AGAIN
Fundamentally I think they differ, Sengoku blindly appeals to authority and their moral compass whereas Akainu follows his own, which may or may not coincide with what the authorities say.
Sengoku would never object the Gorosei like Akainu does.
Culpability for wrongdoings exists on a scale
The man who attempts to morally reason through a dilemma but reaches the wrong conclusion, intending to find the right one (Akainu)...is more justified than the man who didn't try at all to do the right thing and left such a decision to the authorities knowing they may likely do evil (Sengoku)
One tried to reach the truth with an honest motive, the other didn't try and did what was convenient

I agree, he's been bought out and the shilling is disgusting. The Gaza War could have been a great opportunity to outflank Biden by calling for the US to restrain Israel but he is willingly shackled by the shekel
I think saying Saudi Arabia is slightly missing the mark, but yes, he is indeed a shell of his former self and that will sadly be reflected in his cabinet when he inevitably wins this year

The amount of bootlickers who love to defend the main villains of the story is just crazy lol
I can even understand someone saying guys like Teach, Crocodile, Kaido and other terrible pirates only exist because of a greater evil that just fuck the whole world into being a shithole.
But defending the Marines? The guys who job is to protect the Celestials Dragon and keep the world fucked? It's like those people who belive police and military really work for us commomfolk and not to defend their rich masters lol.
Ok that some low lvl marines are just brainwashed in believing they are the good guys, pretty much like the average street cops, but the high-lvl Marines know the shit the WG is doing, pretty much like Generals, Ministers and other high lvl people in Security industry know they arent doing their things to protect the people, but to enrich and protect their masters, and get some leftovers of it
