It doesn't change the fact that we have 0 admirals with awakening that's the point, and kizaru being defeated or not matters? Does he need to be defeated to demonstrate awakening? LOL
If he is defeated he will not demonstrate awakening he needs to be conscious to demonstrate awakening. LOL
Think man.
Furthermore, I don't remember that Kaidou, when talking about awakening, separated his lines by class, but it was a general phrase without being specific to just one type, so cry more, Kizaru with almost 60 years on his back didn't awaken the damn DF, Is he stupid or what?
