You were emphatically wondering why/condemning that people were opening threads about King, and I replied that it's because you massively overwanked him.
You're the only one making these stupid assumptions lol
Power-level wise, the "YC1" tier simply refers to the seconds-in-command of the original Emperors. No one is bringing up Ray, Zoro, or Rocks WB except the people getting burned by this simple truth lol.
Ray or Rocks WB could kill fifty Kings together.
Katakuri, Marco, and King are all roughly on the same level, and they are all fodder to actual top tiers, as Ryokugyu said and proved. Benjamin Benchwarmer might arguably be stronger, I actually expect him to have AdvCoC, but he hasn't done a single thing to prove it yet.
LMAO, we didnt overwank King at all. It was the author. Blame the author for continously referring to Kings race as 'gods' in the manga. Blame the author for making the biggest genius VP in the manga use Kings DNA as the basis for creating the strongest form of humanity. Blame the author showing a Yonko shitting his pants when he came across a King Jr. Blame the author that another Yonko even with help failed to do anything to a King Jr even though in same arc the same Yonko sent an Admiral packing by Pizza diffing him.
ROFLMAO, the No.2s are No.2s, you can call them VCs or YC1s or Second in Command or whatever. First we have to argue that this YC1, 2, 3 shit is completely fan made because these things were created by the fans. Equalizing shit by yourself is headcanon. The structures of the Yonko crews were different. BM didnt have only 3 sweet commanders, she had four and Perospero was stronger than at least one of them. WB had 16 Division Commanders (Izou being the last one who killed a mask CP0 agent in 2v1). Shanks has 9 main crew members, BB has ten titanic captains. Beast Pirates had 3 All Stars and the Flying Six. King was mentioned as the right hand, he was like Kaidos little brother. Marco is the son of WBs parnter/right hand (after GV). Kata is literally BMs son. Kaido took only King with him on his way to MF.
There are some parallels between Marco and King but it stops at just that. They had a fight, Queen was involved only initially and then was busy elsewhere, King came out completely unscathed while Marco was completely exhausted.
GB only proved that all Admirals can do are pick on already heavily injured opponents. Give me one clean Admiral win.
Yeah a featless guy needs to prove he is top tier because Oda hasnt focused on him, its like asking Dragon to show shit to be considered top tier. The Benchwarmer is the No.2 of the golden boy, its clear to anyone that Benn is to Shanks what Ray was to Roger but lets downplay Benn because he is featless and he doesnt fit my description of YC1 which I use to downplay King.
And by your definition of YC1s being fodder to top tiers then I guess Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji and BM are not true top tiers since they couldnt fodderize Marco the YC1.
