I don't think Luffy is actually going to change his approach to anything. Oda wants Luffy to appear as though he's working through a flaw to justify his upcoming power growth. If that growth happens without being anchored to a genuine low point, it won't feel earned. It'll just feel like a...

This is not necessarily a “stronger” state. It could be a case similar to Snakeman, Bounceman and Tankman, where each form provides different advantages, but at a cost. Maybe he realized that his body was weakening from taking heavy attacks, alongside the constant coughing up blood. So, he...

I thought you would've been happy for Waban. :josad:

Craziest papercut I've ever seen. :Gaban_Smug:

The manner in which Luffy was beaten was so brutal that he should’ve been in intensive care for a week. Oda went too far, he should’ve toned down the severity of his defeat. That would’ve made Luffy’s hasty return far more justifiable. But Oda seems more concerned with the spectacle of these...

We don't argue with Admiral fans because they'll become the biggest Sanji extollers once he beats an Admiral into a coma. :cryabit:

The verbal praise confirms that Imu viewed Gaban as a powerful opponent: “Hardly a fight,” “not paying attention,” and “lost in one sword attack.” Imu is not praising someone who performed as poorly as you’re trying to claim. This “old man tax” argument doesn’t change the canon events of the...

Some people are saying that this chapter, the chapter where Imu praises Gaban’s strength, shows that Imu was impressed that he survived his named hax power Sacred Weapons attack with only a severed arm and confirms that he avoided Gaban’s attack while still being damaged, meaning it confirms...

That's the natural progression of a power that allows its user to inflate their hand like a Tom and Jerry bit as seen all the way back in EL. Seeing Luffy manipulate himself and his environment to such absurd levels can be jarring and take one out of the scene, where they are no longer focused...

Ran away from narrative and portrayal for years, clinging to feats. Now that the sanctuary has been dismantled, they’re running back to narrative and portrayal, but it seems like these people have forgotten why they ran away from it in the first place. The anti Sanji/Gaban agenda loses either...

Laser tag vs storming Normandy.:risiflip:

The author is trashing Luffy through Gaban. We, as the audience, aren’t meant to look at Luffy in a favorable light here; he’s supposed to be better. That’s the point. When he gets his act straight, then we can praise him. But, as Gaban said, an injured old father shouldn’t be putting his life...

The only goalposts being moved here are by the people who believed Gaban wouldn’t perform half as well as he did, but are now pretending like he didn’t do good enough as an injured 80 year old. Yes, the MC always looks good in the end. What are you flexing here?

Your Honor, the prosecutor wants to portray my comment as sincere. However, the evidence tells a very different story. On February 9th, 2025, Chapter 1139 was released, in which the silhouetted figure was finally revealed to be Scopper Gaban. Even the title of the chapter was that of his...
