Spoiler One Piece Chapter Spoiler 1198 Spoilers Discussion

Yamato didn't lose to Kaido, Loki lost to Imu, multiple times technically. There are differences, obviously. But Loki fills the Yamato role for Elbaf, he is Yamato 2.0.

Oda didn't protect anything, Hybrid Loki is just not strong enough to beat Imu like you claimed, in fact he's not even strong enough to last more than a few pages, and he apparently gets one shotted according to leaks. This is Oda feeding Loki's Hybrid to Imu immediately before Luffy faces Imu for real, aka, hypetooled.

This statement alone establishes that hybrid Loki is relative to Imu’s full power, you’re done. He never got one shotted, we cut away from the fight, WorstgenHQ already confrimed this. The fact that Imu immediately transformed into a stronger form when he saw Loki’s hybrid just reinforces his statement btw. And apparently, Imu’s new gigantic form resembles his mural silhouette according to Redon.
