Future Events Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro is going to be Zoro's most powerful opponent ever

#61
Proof that either Zoro or Nusjuro used Advanced Conquerors? Looked like basic Armament to me, especially since their weapons touched.

Nusjuro didn't use his ice powers in the clash. In fact, he didn't use them on anyone other than the Pacifistas.

Nusjuro didn't meet Zoro's Rashomon with an attack of his own, but rather a basic block, yet that alone was enough to match Zoro's attack power, which was one of the most impressive feats on Egghead imo.

The points above makes it absolutely clear that Nusjuro was not in fact using his full power.
Neither of them was going all out it was just a cool clash to set up future fight between the two

We are yet to see his premium sword style , all he did in egghead was throw basic swings .

Zoro used AdCoC against Nasjuro to push him off similar to what he did against King.
Nasjuro can't use something he doesn't have.

That's a hax ability which is useless in that scenario. Besides, zoro was already using haki so he powers thru the ice

At first he was blocking, then it turned into a power struggle where we clearly see Nasjuro struggling to push Zoro off.
Doesn't matter if he uses a named attack or not.
Zoro didn't use any named attack to block Hakai, yet it doesn't make the block any less powerful or efficient

He is, just because he uses other abilities other than swordsmanship...

Mihawk is the most powerful in terms of pure swordplay and physical abilities (techniques, Haki, etc.)...

That could of just been Emission Haki. It's pretty crazy to be so sure that Nusjuro doesn't have AdCoC when the Gorosei are confirmed CoC users, and had their Haki highly praised by pretty much everyone on Egghead. There's nothing indicating that the Haki impact between the two was solely due to Zoro, as whereas King wanted to break Zoro's blades and therefore would want to stay close to Zoro to do so, Nusjuro simply wanted to halt Zoro's attack. It seemed like a typical Haki clash.

Why couldn't Nusjuro simply imbue his hax powers in his swordsmanship as many other sword fighters with devil fruits do?

Blocking is better at holding back and slowing, if not outright halting attacks, but it lacks the power output to overwhelm opponents, while blocking is to stave off opponents and their attacks. Since Zoro didn’t have the attack power to push back or nullify Hakai without getting instantly demolished, blocking was the best action, even though he couldn't push Hakai back.

Meanwhile, Nusjuro's block equalized with Zoro's Rashomon, with both parties flying backwards from the clash, which indicates that Nusjuro's power output in a block was equal to Zoro's attack. which we can further extrapolate to assume that a hypothetical attack from Nusjuro would possibly overpower Zoro here as Nusjuro would be able to put more power in an attack than a block.

It looked the exact same as what Zoro did against King when he used ACoC. Zoro definitely used ACoC to push back Nasjuro. Nasjuro was struggling and sweating to overpower Zoro after the initial block, and then he used his Haki to 100% to finally stalemate zoro

When did all the Gorosei were confirmed CoC users?
Only Warcury, Mars and Saturn were confirmed.
Jupeter and Nasjuro don't have CoC

Why couldn't Nusjuro simply imbue his hax powers in his swordsmanship as many other sword fighters with devil fruits do?
Because a low level ice ability wouldn't work on Zoro when he uses Haki to cut thru the ice ability

Both of them went flying back was after the power struggle, which means both generated equal power. Nasjuro using a named attack doesn't change anything because it won't change any of his power output in the power struggle

All out enraged Nusjuro clashed with Zoro like last arc and both send each other flying lmfao

I surely hope not that this guy is Zoro's strongest oponnent.
Zoro had a speed boost by Jimbei, didn't he?
Yet they had an equal trade. Meaning Nusjuro is possibly stronger, because without Franky, Zoro would probably lose the trade.

Yeah, the Nasujuro clash came across as Oda wanting us to look forward to their future fight, but not him setting it up as Zoro’s greatest fight of all time.

Although that could just be another example of the fights in Egghead being botched.

Zoro’s brief mention to S Hawk that Mihawk’s more inhuman than a test tube lab abomination was more hype for Zoro vs Mihawk to me.

if you want to pretend a character as strong as Jinbe throwing Zoro had absolutely zero effect, be my guest lol
Acceleration/velocity having direct affect on the weight and force of ones attacks is a canon concept. Jinbe used a named technique not just a regular throw and launched Zoro like a missile at Venus, it very obviously had an affect. Funny that the fandom carrying Jinbe hype is also the ones downplaying him when it actually counts.
