Character Discussion Aokiji Is Akainu’s Equal In Terms Of Character And Plot Relevance

I love Kuzan, but Lee I'm not putting any character as equal or stronger to Akainu. Not Kaidou, Not BB. Not Shanks. Not Aokiji.
As for plot and importance Aokiji will play, definitely agree. Oda wouldn't have sacrificed Garp to Aokiji otherwise. Feeding an old legend, that too an Hero of Marines, Roger equal, Luffy Grandfather, that means a lot. Oda also included him in the race for PK, he's definitely going to play a key role.

This is the only uninterrupted top tier fight in the entire series which actually had an outcome. The winner was Akainu. He then became FA while Kuzan lost a limb and became a YC after wandering for months.
Now, there's not much of a difference between them, for they are, relative. But no they're not equals. Equals would be Roger who didn't have a winner between him and Garp. We got a definitive winner and the only winner between an uninterrupted top tier fight in the series. They're relatives, not equals.
Akainu is stronger. That's all there is to it. Maybe it be by a strand of hair but he is stronger.
And I'm willing to wager that the gap between the two has increased since Kuzan's will probably got weaker after he left the marines and pointlessly wandered till he joined Blackbeard while Sakazuki got narrative buff by becoming FA and making the marines the strongest it was.
Akainu extreme diffs Aokiji every day of the month and no matter how long the fight takes, the winner will never change.

I honestly think Akainu and Kuzan are meant to be closer then Roger and Garp. It doesn't seem like there was ever a 1 on 1 prime Garp and Roger fight in the same way. It seems more like Garp had been chasing him through the years but Roger always escaped. When Roger finally ended his pirate career, he let himself be taken in.
If anything , it got stronger
Kuzan has a purpose now , he is out of his comfort zone and he is pretty determined .
So determined that he was willing to fight his former master for it

Oda even spelled it out in the latest SBS that Kuzan can now pursue his own brand of justice, without being subordinated to BB, and here GalaxyLVLbrainfarts is all "nah, Kuzan is weakwilled now, hurrdurr"
