Awakened Kizaru = Lulusia all over again. @ZenZu
But I think Oda realized he made Kizaru too busted, hence Kizaru has to remind the audience that he has to restrict his DC.
The only time Kizaru broke a sweat was when stabbing Vegapunk. You can't blame him. So much effort to try and avoid killing his friend, giving Luffy as much head start as he could, yet Luffy failed to save Vegapunk.
Even Dragonball was inspired by other anime/Manga to some extend. Just like Naruto and other shonen. There's nothing new under the sun. As such I doubt Oda copied anything specific, but obviously he won't reinvent the wheel.
Same Xebec had WB in his mid 30s as his underling.
Sure, Oda used an admiral being killed to hype Xebec up, but Oda isn't consistent with such feats. One moment he can hype up Xebec killing an admiral, the other moment you have a vice admiral making WB, BM and Kaido run 1 vs 3 and Kuzan's raw...
Admirals from pre great piracy era might had been weaker, so the new Admirals had higher entry requirements. Jiaga is irrelevant when we have Garp as a vice admiral, Kuzan boxing with Garp and a stated to be nerfed Kizaru bullying Yonko Luffy.
Let's not even start with the embarrassment Big Mom...
I mean we had introductions not witnessed by the protagonists, though yeah, being introduced without any eye witness is new. But it's fine to break the pattern for once.
Spoilers don't seem fake, as they are confirmed by different sources by now. On the other hand you might had been onto...
If Imu bleed and fell on his knees indeed, I kinda like that twist of him not being introduced as this fake-invincible guy but as someone who albeit being overpowered, isn't beyond flaws.
