When Kizaru actually gets a serious fight in a few arcs, folks will realize how scandalous the nerfs he has been subjected to during Egghead were. Even for WSG to success Oda had to have Kizaru disengage Luffy and lower his guard (to the point he initially had his back turned) from believing Luffy was not threat anymore due to reaching his limit lol. Egghead ended without Luffy proving he can actually land a clean hit on a focused Kizaru and this is not a joke.
There's a reason why despite having no regen or some super fastened recovery rate Kizaru was drawn nearly scratchless during the last chapter of Egghead, Kizaru main struggle was never physical but mental
Funnily when it came to VAs one chapter later Oda remembered how to draw battle damage, look how roughed up they look in comparison
😂
I have no issue about Kaido, I think he's a high top tier. I only shit talk him because the people that are affirmative Kizaru was going all out in Egghead despite everything suggesting otherwise tend to be insecure Kaido wankers. They're already preemptively coping about Loki when he literally hasn't done jackshit (so we factually have no idea where he stands) lol.
