Oda is doing the same to Garling and the Gorosei btw. Hypetooling them before their arc. And he will guaranteed dehype Imu in favour of Joyboy when we get that flashback before he fights.
Current day Oda is obsessed with hype tooling his villains right before it's their time to fight.

It absolutely stinks.
There is what you just mentioned which is horrendous, but the fighting choreography is just dead aswell.
no creativity, just some lighting, one shots, no touching clash and reused attacks.
Like seriously Garp, Roger, WB, BM and Kaido used the same attacks on Imu… Kaido literally used a move that got devalued so hard at Wano and he used it against Imu.
I mean obviously he just ate the fruit 5 minutes ago I can defend that, but the other 4? All used there attacks before..
As a matter of fact Garp‘s Galaxy Impact was crazier when he saved Coby.
