Divine Departure is like Roger's equivalent of "Thunder Bagua"

OKG was in a clash against some upgraded drunkmode TB. Kaido still had the upperhand though but there's different levels here.... signatures vs high end moves.
Ok, but we're talking Kaido vs. Oden. Oden can't jump 10,000 meters from the clouds and shake it off.
 
I actually don't get where does WB downplay comes from. He literally has no weak point. And his wank is still going strong literally from chapter 100 to current time 1000+ chapter after

And to think that we should all of sudden switch to Garp or Xebec as the dogs because of some 5 or 6 chapters of off screened clashes is the dumbest thing ever
He doesn't have much ambition to do anything meaningful really. He's content with being a follower which obviously gives him a portrayal downgrade from a Roger main rival to No.2 behind Rocks.

Still doesn't mean much when in the actual battles he has Roger locked in a stalemate and that without his fruit. He never really desired to beat Roger while Roger and Garp probably have.

WB is still stronger than both after this FB and his title is legit.

He looks "bad" because Garp was Roger's equal when we thought WB was the only one. In fact, you can now argue Garp is more of a Roger equal than even WB. We were basically lied to by the narrator and Buggy (as we saw with Garling, this is not even an exception at this point though).

Obviously ignoring the fact that those two weren't lackeys and actually finished off WB's captain. While WB is busy playing tsundere underling to Polo Gram.

This is how WB got introduced btw


this flashback was a fall from grace. The expectations for WB are simply higher. Garp is what we thought WB would be when we read MF. That's the issue. Garp legitimately seems more of an equal rival to Roger than WB.
 
For top tiers, there needs to be a balance. Context obviously matters, here Xebec was established as more durable and harder to damage than any top tier we have ever seen. So Garp and Roger being able to put holes in him like that and dice him up means if those attacks landed on any one in the verse they are getting annihilated.

But back to balance, look at Big Mom for example, she looks pathetic in the fight against Kidd/Law. Hakai was impressive, but that was a combination attack. Kaidou's final attack looked visually impressive as far as scale goes. Big Mom's fight took place under the roof and if not for Law you would barely know there is a fight going on at all.
I get all that. I am actually arguing a very simple point. For example admiral fans countless times brought Kizaru putting down the tree in Saboady against Kaido attacks arguing for his superior "AP". Mind you Kaido one shoted Luffy. It's clear as day that line of logic is out of the window now. it was super dumb and disginous logic. So when someone doing the same reasoning they don't get to switch and flip all of a sudden like nothing happened

If Garp is so strong, why doesn't he have an iconic moustache like Newgoat?

I'm agreeing with you.

Divine Departure, Galaxy Impact, Ikoku, Thunder Bagua are all comparable.

OKG was paralleled against a Upgraded Drunk Thunder Bagua, a high end finisher of a skysplitter.

Its in another league compared to basic top tier attacks.

Just because it was used against the one city sized Dragon which can make shit like this look weak... doesnt make it weak. No other top tier is doing shit like this.

Kaidou one shotting Luffy was verse breaking at that time, honestly arguably the most impressive feat. It's unfortunate how it feels almost like a lie when later the likes of Kinemon, Kidd, and Law were tanking those attacks just fine.

There was a lot of false hype it seems looking back.

I said it in the past but I always thought that Oda "nerfed" WB by making him unambitious compared to other top dogs.
Maybe if an all out fight were to happen in the manga Roger wouldn't stay down until WB is unable to move (so kind of like Luffy vs Katakuri) but on paper WB has pretty much every stat over Roger.

It's just W7 to EL all over again. We should've saw it coming.
