I like the idea that he was the first marine to go undercover, and this all started after an Admiral was killed, the Navy would naturally want revenge for that
Also like objectively speaking Silver Axe’s design is very similar to an admiral’s

The physique is there, Sakazuki and Aramaki both have a side chest tattoo, and there’s X’s on him like Drake who was an undercover marine
 
Funniest shit with Kizaru is that casual anime watchers actually seem to get that Kizaru wasn't putting his heart in it even without all the later context
Something went deeply wrong with manga readers, i don't think they can make fun of animeonlines for shit takes anymore tbh
I guess it's because the anime is watched by a larger audience who are probably less agenda prone than manga readers.

It does make me a little annoyed that Toei is so...well, Toei-ish. Like if they didn't cock up things like the MF fights, the anime could have been a good way of recontextualizing fights and scenes.

As it is I remember "wifi haki" being only a slander meme until the anime adaptation of that scene, after which everyone just assumed that Shanks was paralyzing GB in the manga as well the whole time instead of just, you know, threatening and surprising him.

The Yakuza theme fits, although to be fair Shiki is a pretty Yakuza coded character as well and Shiki isn’t a Marine.
 
I don't think it is possible for Silver Axe to have been an admiral yet because assuming he was Shiki age he would've been too young (for reminder Oda considers Greenbull who his in his forties to be a newbie/young admiral) imo. Also I don't see the marine seperating themselves from one of their top fighters.
Possible Silver Axe was the strongest VA of the time with Garp/Sengoku though and became an admiral post GV.

The more I think about it, the more it makes no sense for the curren generation of VAs to be so fucking weak
 
I feel like people haven’t fully processed how big of a deal it is that Oda didn’t show Luffy as definitively above Kizaru and then had Xebec offscreen an admiral in the next arc.

And then people have the nerve to say stuff like “no way you think Xebec might be stronger than Big Mom + Kaido” in vs battle threads

Yeah idk the guy who side quested someone relative to BM and Kaido (an admiral) as a “rookie” and then potentially 1v2’d the pirate king and the hero of the marines on god valley… oh no how could I possibly have the impression that he’s a level above Kaido and BM 🤪 @Kurozumi Wiwi @Blackbeard
 
Man I lose braincells everytime I check optwt or piratefolk, if it wasn't for some decent memes I would never browse these palces
Worstgen is genuinely above the average OP community in 2025, this series becoming popuplar in the west was not a good thing
Lol

Which other subs have you been to? Piratefolk at least can be funny and occasionally have self awareness at times.

Meanwhile you have the mainsub which is 50% glazing and 50% gooning, Memepiece which is passionately unfunny, and OPPS which everytime I visit has me looking like:

And there's OPScaling where great intellects gather to talk about lightspeed scaling in OP.

Only OPSpoilers is fun mainly because it's a smaller sub with all kinds of whackadoodle theories.

my issue with piratefolk is that it feels most of the users are underage that hate series for not being like JJK

I gotcha. Vocab definitely implies most users to be on the younger side. Lots of Zoomerspeak and such.

But Reddit in general is mostly bots or younger people, and that mainly a specific type of younger person in my experience (not that I should be talking, I'm still in my early twenties lool).

Not sure about the JJK point, mainly because I haven't watched it lol.

But PF can definitely get a bit much. I remember this real louse of a user, guy named Wartem or something who pretty much just hated on OP and Oda himself constantly. Like it's one thing to meme or make a valid criticism but this guy was just pure seeth incarnate.

Personally though I can tolerate PF mostly, it's OPPS and their persecution fetish w.r.t the Admirals that I cannot stand.

Half the reason I initially created this account on Worstgen as a throwaway was because I wanted one damn place on the internet with powerscaling takes that didn't make me want to grab the nearest neck and start wringing lol.
 
The only reason I can't get fully on board with Silver Axe hype is that he seems to be related to L Drake. Just being related to this fodder piece of trash is negative portrayal.
Fuck L Drake and his entire bloodline. wi fi diff is nothing compared compared to the utter disappointment this vermin ended up being. I have more respect for Red King and Maynard than for this FAILURE.
 
Going by Chinese Zodiac he should be Rat, Dragon or Snake, since all the others would be used.

By pure vibes though I'd say Bear, Eagle or Rhino. And if we can reuse animals then Dog, Tiger or Bull.
Don’t know why but he gives me horse vibes but it’s taken so I guess it’s either snake or rat
I think Dragon belongs to Dragon
He was at least an Admiral candidate before he left

Remembered his zoan species and I couldn't resist lol.

Horse...I could see it, but he's so beefy and imposing that I'm reminded more of a bear or tiger, especially given his rivalry with Shiki the lion.

Hmm, you think so? It's possible. I've heard some suggest that X Drake will take up the dragon mantle and be the Orange Zoan Admiral, but his power levels are like....waaay too low lol.
 

Sorry, couldn't resist lol.

Drake will never be an Admiral or Admiral candidate
Smoker and Koby have the potential but X Drake feels like he’s finished

I'd bury myself if Oda couldn't even give the T-Rex zoan to a future admiral. Deep down I knew Drake wasn't him when Oda gave him the mid ass allosaurus instead
