Every YC1 had a special trait.
Marco: DF -> Regen -> High Recovery
Katakuri: Haki -> Future Sight -> High Evadeability
Albert: Genetics -> Lunarian Regen and Durability -> High Defense
((Queen: Science -> Plagues -> High Lethality))
Whilst Marco and Katakuri's weaknesses for the OP ability was standard OP norm....Albert's was completely different and horribiliy handled.
Both Marco and Katakuri had a stamina dependant abilities. So how much of their powers they used...the weaker and more useless it got as time went on. Albert never had this weakness. So in general you'd think that would make Albert's better....welll.....Oda doesnt know how to write.
Albert's ability logically looks better on paper since it doesnt have a stamina nerf, however it does have a plot stupidity nerf. Its an ability that disappears whenever Albert feels like moving faster. An ability that seemingly is replaced for something just as good. But in fact its not...Lets get into it.
Why is the Lunarian Defence weakness bad ?
1.) Albert's speed form has no eqiuvalent hype to his Defence form
For a form that had tremendous hype that rivalled Kaido....His other form....his speed form has nothing in comparison. You'd think if Albert were to give up Top Tier defence....hed get Top Tier Speed in return. But nope nothing as such. People try their best to compare it to Sanji's top speed because of that dumb line thingy. But they need to remember that statements matter far more. Zoro never called his speed invisible. Heck he never even struggled with his speed. He easily reacted to it and kept up with it for the 3 times he used it. Compare that to how much Zoro struggled with Albert's Lunarian defence.....and you'd see that his speed form was asboutely useless and dumb.
Remind me again why he didnt have Lunarian flames on his back when using the Magma Dragon at the end.
2.) Albert has no reason to leave Lunarian Defence form
Albert's Lunarian Defence had him protected whilst still alowing him to keep up with Zoro. He was perfectly protected from Zoro whilst fighting in CQC. He wouldnt need any momentum from his speed form, if he just stayed close by and engaged in swordfighting and his Zoan powers....hed eventually wear Zori down. Enma would eventually make quick work of Zori anyways. I mean..was there even a speed difference between Flame Form and Speed form....Zoro handled/Struggled with both basically the same.
And no I dont believe in the bullshit that is Zoro's AdvCoC being able to go through his Lunarain Flame form. These so called "hints" are just weak interpretations from Zoro fans that are embrassed that Zoro had to take advatange of his weakness instead of destroying his defence head on.

So in conclusion yh. Oda shouldve either never created that weakness, or atleast had given it an equal replacement and have written it better. But Zoro dealing with Top Tier Speed wouldve probably performed worse lmao.
