Holy Knights introduced as being future fights for the Revs, and ranked below the Five Elders.

HK stans: "The HK are clearly above the Admirals and the Elders."
:ClownStare:
At least the Elders are confirmed to have monstrous Haki and DFs, the Holy Robbo just look like Commanders with regeneration powers at best. Their abilities are not bad tho but come on, everything else sucks so far.
 
He named them after Corazon (heart in Spanish)

While love is a big theme of Law’s backstory I think is a reach to tie him to Gaban. I think at most he maybe met him once
Since PoL seems to be the counter to the HKs immortality, it’s gotta somehow connect to the Will of D imo since the Ds are known as the enemies of the gods they need to be able to kill the HKs through immortality too.
 
Also I'd say Holy Knights do have a ton of personality (Killingham is the exception)

The issue isn't their characterization but the fact that Oda hasn't made them feel as threatening as they should.

Sommers acts like Mr. 3/Wapol/Queen/insert your naturally cowardly villain here.


Gunko would be threatening, if Oda's track record with women wasn't so abysmal that there's no reason to believe she'd actually be a legitimate antagonist.

And with Shamrock gone, there's no pinnacle villain to make you go "THAT'S THE GUY WHO'S GONNA DOG LUFFY"
 
Robin to Killingham here? Goda foreshadowed?:

In both Chinese and Japanese, "kirin" can refer to a mythical creature called a qilin (麒麟) in Chinese. However, in Japanese, "kirin" (キリン) has also come to be used for giraffes. This confusion stems from the resemblance between certain depictions of the qilin and the appearance of giraffes.

Elaboration:

Qilin (麒麟) in Chinese:

The qilin is a mythical composite creature in Chinese culture, often depicted as a deer-like animal with an ox's tail, and sometimes with horns or a single horn. It is considered a symbol of good fortune and prosperity.

Kirin (キリン) in Japanese:

While the qilin is a mythical creature, the Japanese word "kirin" (キリン) has also come to mean giraffe. This is because early Japanese observers of giraffes were struck by their resemblance to the qilin, particularly their long necks, spotted patterns, and overall form.

The Connection:

The Japanese word "kirin" (キリン) for giraffe is derived from the Chinese characters for qilin (麒麟), reflecting the cultural exchange and the initial confusion between the mythical beast and the real animal.


Good thing Kaku never saw this lmao, even though this was for Stussy too ironically lmao. And given what Stussy did to her and Lucci too, hmmmmm.....


:SmugRain::smoothieduck::Egg_Peak::YeahBoi::kobeha:
Robin vs Killingham and Jinbo vs Gunko, both of them will learn how to counter the regen merchants from Gaban.
Elbaph's salt. :saden:
