Questions & Mysteries Is Oda doing King the background justice?

didn’t katakuri only appear when wci was 50% complete and done nothing until his fight with luffy which he lost?
You should know why Katakuri appeared so late. Oda redid his entire character. This was the planned Katakuri. He was called Katakuri because "katakuriko" means flour and he had the "Powder Powder no Mi".

This is why also his name now makes no sense with the "Mochi Mochi no Mi", while Smoothie, Cracker and Snack's names are all related to their DFs.



Basically Oda made him a Luffy-clone (stretchy arms/CoC user fighting in the Mirror World. Even his bounty ended in "57" when Luffy's number is "56"), and clearly decoupled his strength from regular commanders like Smoothie, Queen and yes, King.



Oda made it clear regular old commanders couldn't do shit to 100% all-out Luffy, so he made Katakuri 2.0.

Yes, because he's the weakest right hand, and there for Zoro to kick his ass. People that compare him to Katakuri should be banned from the power scaling forums.

But watch. Oda is going to say something about his extinct race, that has almost 0 to do with power scaling, and people are going to wank him again... until Zoro beats him.
weakest lol

King should be the strongest right hand among yonku cuz he will have the honor to fight the right hand of the next king

He has less presence and focus than the flyers and Queen.
Now with Yamato getting all the focus beside Kaido, King is feeling more and more left out.

It has been 60+ chapters and yet the future isn't promising.
Is Oda only writing King to have him be beaten like nothing special or will he at least get a momentum?

Act 2 was Queen's spotlight
Act 3 is ending, and it focus is on Yamato and flyers
Act 4 is Kaido and BM themselves

How can Oda fit King into the spotlight?
Just how much focus did Katakuri have before his fight with Luffy?

Iirc Veterans, especially Perospero was given more focus than him?

That exactly why he won't be as special as him

He'll get much less panel time,

So far he's just another strong guy that need to be defeated
Like Katakuri is don't be fooled.

He was given focus back then cuz BM was not the one to be defeated.

Do people realize this or not lmao?

If BM was the one to be defeated back in wci then kata would have been another strong background fella wew.

The only first commander who I can see as special is Marco.

"Don't have focus"
While his first action stopped Big Mom and half of her crew in seconds
Sinked Big Mom and almost killed her without plot armor
Traumatized Perospero so much

Meanwhile Kuri's first action is trying to shoot jelly bean at distracted Sanji yet failed
Saw the future of Straw Hats targetting Mother Carmel's picture, but in the end the picture still got broken

It’s sad that Jack of all people is more relevant than King the Background
In Zou arc? Have you catch up to Wano arc?

Where King alone stopped the invasion of Big Mom Pirates and sinked their captain, while Jack got slashed and bandaged after fighting Ashura?
Where King got the honor of being invited by another Yonko crew but rejected it casually?
Where King appeared in Oden flashback, and was seen had been backing Kaido up even since Moria times
Where Kaido borrowed King's weapon and not Jack's weap-- eh wait it's already broken by Ashura... to execute Orochi?

Nice. Katakuri that had the honour of fighting the ACTUAL next pirate king should be weaker than King that fought the RIGHT HAND of the pirate king :milaugh::milaugh:


Don't change Zoro fans
Different arc, genius.
Wapol that had the honour of fighting the next Pirate King should be stronger than Mr. 1 that fought the First Mate of Pirate King :milaugh::milaugh:

Me when Ndule-senpai make a thread about King the Background:vistalaugh:

Anyway, the only way for King to have a good spotlight is to have him fight Zoro and then people gonna wank the shit out of him just like how Zoro fans wanked Pica back in Dressrosa:luuh:
