Nothing in that panel remotely supports your claim that stabbing is superior to cutting.
In fact, the Scabbards were able to cut AND stab Kaido as easily as it is.
Wdym "no special ryou"?
Kiku canonically has the same Ryuo mastery like the other Scabbards.
No special weapon is true, however they are ALL using Ryuo when attacking Kaido.
Like, the first thing Kaido even questioned about was their Haki skill when they stabbed him:
Obviously, no, they are not using Oden's level of Ryuo (or in this case, ACoC) but it's confirmed that they used Flowing Haki to bypass Kaido's defence. Because if they weren't using Ryuo, this is what would happen just like Kaido stated:
"Your swords can do nothing to me!!"
Well IF he's getting a clean hit, Luffy's chest will simply have a deep cut lol.
The thing is, Oden's quite slow and doesn't even have FS. Unlike monsters like Loki, who can compensate their lack of speed with extremely huge DC, this guy is completely predictable.
Furthermore, what does that have to do with your baseless assertion that Oden's Togen Totsuka is stronger than Imu's sword stab?? By your logic, isn't Imu's attack stronger by default since it's stabbing the opponent instead of cutting?
By your logic, Zoro should have cut Lucci in few pieces after his hit, yet you believe Oden's easily cutting a guy in half with persistent and strong ACoC defence?
Imu's easily bypassing that shit cuz he's built different. There's no shame in admitting that.
Btw, both are extremely lethal injuries. Imu stabbed Luffy's heart and the survival rate is 0%. Oden cutting Luffy in half makes it a 0% as well if it followed our rules IF you're just talking about the levels of injuries. However, when it comes to power, Imu's attack is obviously significantly stronger.
Can you repeat it again? I just have to be sure I'm not the one hallucinating when you're spewing this bullshit lmao.
