He recognized Luffy strength, but by feats, Luffy never went to toe to toe, Kaido didn't even use his Blazing form at this point, Kaido was literally having fun.
This after several of rounds, with Kaido showing signals of weakening. And Luffy before G5, hoped to defeat Kaido with G4. We all know what would happen after, even if the CP0 didn't attack Luffy before.
Sure kaido screaming in pain is sure having fun. Sure players getting tackle by Rayblewis are having fun due broken bones. Injures. Kaido literally have scar from zoro it parallel Oden feat. Kaido words state luffy went toe to toe on 1037. Kaido didn't show weakness when drunken Kaido is power up than at rooftop battle. Except this is same base luffy sky split with hybrid kaido not base kaido so by your logic luffy is holding back on kaido.becusde he didn't use gear fourth or gear 5 sooner when we know itnis not true. The point is wano lyffy is kaido level because base luffy can fight him toe to toe on 1037- base luffy, didn't get one shot. Kaido never show drunken power up on Oden or big mom expect on luffy. Second of all gear fourth luffy do pressure on kaido it is drunken kaido not hybrid kaido at rooftop.
Kaido literally forced Luffy to loose the grip with his Blazing form, otherwise Luffy's hand would get melted, what you talking man?
Stop with this bullshit of fed Luffy or not fed Luffy.
Let me tell you something, Luffy was fed when he faced Kizaru and still he was crippled old after some clashes with Kizaru, and against Kaido, he was half dead but lasted longer, restarted his hear and all that shit.
You know what we call it?
Plot Subservience.
It happens a lot in One Piece.
And if you try to power scale it or use it to build power scaling arguments, you gonna fall on contradiction all the time.
Kaido literally can't escape from luffy grib in own physical strength. Have you been in wrestling match l? That is what strong grib that you can't escape. Kaido use Blazing form is not physical power because it just to burn luffy hand. It is like saying i am strong than man A who has strong grib so I use fire match to burn his hand ti break free.
Because luffy fought harder than wano. Want luffy state he can pump his drum beat if he want. This luffy state he can't move at all when fighting kIzaru is literally run out of stamina and reach to his limit. That is what luffy says.
Saying it is PIS when you literally ignore characters words on their power and limts like luffy.
Doesn't fucking matter fed Luffy or not fed Luffy.
You gonna see later when the Round 2 begins, we will have a half dead Luffy fighting better and longer against Imu than a full fed Luffy.
Except it does matter to oda. In EL arc, when luffy lose to rob Lucci and need food to heal his body. Then luffy can best blueno, turn eat snack, then fight Rob Lucci. You are also ignoring luffy own words on why he eat more food due he believe he need to beat imu. Now if half dead luffy does better fighting Imu than fully fed luffy. This is oda telling this later luffy is stornger than past luffy. Literally Fully fed luffy elbaf > Eggland Luffy > Wano Luffy
Gaban who? Gaban is a real life reader? Oh didn't know man, I thought he was just a character in the story that was interpreted what happened by the news he received. I didn't know Gaban was there in Wano and watched everything.
I don't know what Oda wants, but I'm sure he was clear to show that FP Kaido still > G5.
Nope Oda wrote luffy beat kaido not kaiod beat luffy. Did you skip wano arc. Even in verve card say luffy defeat kaido not kaido defeat luffy.
Yeah, cause the whole concept of WSG is to make the opponent see stars and pass out. It's retarded, yeah. But sadly that's how G5 is.
I mean I'm not trying to say Kaido>IMU
WSG is meant to hit harder and make opponents bleed literally. Kaido bleed to base luffy punch. Kizaru literally took luffy punch and doesn't bleed. Kaiso bleed to weaker gear 5 punch in his face.
You are I guess thinking I am that Lee's fake account that is upscaling Kaido > Imu, but I'm not like that at all.
Who is accusing you of fake account. This is doing do with my points
Again, I don't know why you are bringing Luffy fed or not fed on this discussion, when Oda haven't showed any consistency towards it at all.
"Way stronger than Kaido" sure sure lmfao
still he was getting speed blitzed by Hybrid Kaido like nothing, and literally had to go for Bajrang Gun, which Kaido could have avoided, but didn't cause of course, villains need to be braindead in this fucking stupid manga.
And this super fed powerful 2 times stronger Luffy that didn't show any single feat that is > Bajrang Gun
His Djinn form didn't show any special feature, except that he can fly and is big, and has some decent AP.
In Oda mind it matter, literallyhappen in one piece where eating food give you recover power.
You are using near death gear 5 luffy to argue kaido speed blitz him is fallacy. Kizaru and Imu face fresh gear 5 luffy, not near death luffy.
Near death gear 5 luffy from wano arc is way weaker than Eggland luffy or elbaf luffy.
Saying but new arc luffy didn't show feats when we have statement. By your logic Luffy didn't use King Kong Gun finisher move on Katakuri like he did to Doflalmingo, therefore WCI luffy is weaker or small as Dressora Luffy. Also this same WCi luffy beat cracker, then eat food to recover before fighting Katakuri. So feeding food does matter to lufffy in one piece series.
That's not Oden feat, man. And just after Zoro was low diffed like nothing.
I didn't even bring panels here, cause I'm too lazy and I go mountain biking in some minutes.
But I can show you panel by panel how this take that G5 Luffy >>>>>>>>>>>>Kaido is factually wrong, and that is a typical power rangers fans stupid bait.
Kaido didn't low diff zoro. Zoro took appo attack, then fight beast pirates, then land on rooftop to face Kaido and Big mom, them land successful attacks on Kaido, then block combimed 2 yonko attack, then scsr kaido.whike.brokem boene, then attack big mom hormies, took kaido attack, still not ko. That is not low diff.
That because you are using bear death gear 5 luffy instead fed gear 5 luffy which it is stornger and better than bear death gear 5 Luffy. Not comparative.
Kaido is simply got powercliff and it is time to go.
