Anime & Manga One Piece Spoilers - The Waiting Room

[Sir Yasheen]

Fighting Dorry and Brogy pushes his personal narrative since his goal is to become the King of Elbaf

Plus y’all mentioned scaling being the reason why Hajrudin can’t fight Dorry or Brogy but it makes sense for him to be involved in a fight with Imu?

Yeah cause multiple opponents vs 1 significantly stronger opponent is something oda has shown fine doing.

(Wano is a prime example of killer not getting instantly killed on the rooftop)

 

[Welkin]

Blud got one shotted by a Jet Pistol from Dressrosa Luffy, thats beyond ass come on

I never gassed up his strength lol Hajrudin before this arc wasn’t even vet level

But people underestimate how much Oda is willing to throw powerscaling logic out of the window if he wants to make something happen

The Gorosei in Egghead are a perfect example

 

[CuteDuck]

u guys miss something - nobody gives a fuck about hajrudin and his fights, and Oda know it.
no haj fights

 

[Welkin]

He will be like Momo was. Oda never intended him for to be strong. That's Loki's job

We’ll see. I believe Oda threw his name in with Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji for a reason

He’s considered a major player that would be useful in a scenario where they need strong fighters

Oda being unrealiable Is true, but Dorry and Broggy being the strongest under Imu tells us already who they are going to fight.

Gorosei on Egghead was weakened, because they was too far from Imu. This will be the explanation, I believe.

Holy Knights didn't became weaker far away from Imu, because they are ageing, as normal human beigns.

In all fairness, he’s also the only giant the straw hats know.

Oda cares about powerscaling. If he didn't Momo would have beaten GB all alone instead of Shanks coming with his giga haki to save the day, rendering Momo speech about protecting Wano himself just before moot

The only reason people say oda doesn’t care about powerscaling is because oda doesn’t care about feats or checklist based scaling. Portrayal will forever be the only thing oda is consistent about.

 

[Blazing Lion]

Hajrudin was holding back in DR, he was not using haki, he was training his physicals to become Loki level with just natural strength

 

[soupongo]

There's no way he still cares about a comic book for babies 30 years on.

Feats are part of portrayal, what people need to differentiate is there are feats for portrayal and feats for furthering the narrative/story. Broggy grabbing Imunko is a narrative feat while Gabans speed feats are portrayal feats.

 

[Shyneseru]

People upscaling Hajrudin for the sake of agenda is hilarious. Dudes weaker than fucking barto and cavendish.

From my POV Usopp ever beating EOS Van Augur is a bigger asspull than Hajrudin beating Brogy or Dory

I don't understant this rant against Chopper, who looks fine.

Nah cause Usopp has done the impossible and won against vastly stronger opponents than him before

 

[Mr_Buttons]

Redon hint is most likely fat luffy and Loki fighting over something.

It's just a joke lol. the LA people are putting in actual effort tbf

The day Van Aguar goes down, we hold a group cry session. Most based character in the manga

Exactly.
And Hajrudin portrayal during DR was ass.
Hajrudin looked weak even in Dressrosa. Didn't even look ́ike the strongest grand fleet captain. Alabasta Crocodile only looks "weak" in retrospective because of shonen power inflation, but in that arc Luffy had to try 3 times to beat him extreme diff and had to recover for several days afterward.

yes you're right about portrayal, these 5>rest of this gen

King Riku had no direct involvement in the defeat of Doflamingo who dethroned him. Just because there is a connection doesn't mean Oda is going to make anything of it. The reason is that Riku stands no chance against Doffy and neither did Law, even though both of these characters had far more reason to take down Doffy than Luffy ever did. They needed the help of a stronger force.
