So my first friend and I talked through text and I can literally copy and paste his messages lol.

Me: “All I’ll say is I thought Ryokugyu was ridiculously cool. We only got him for 3 chapters but those were my favorite 3 chapters in Wano.”

Friend: “Agreed man. People do not give that guy enough credit.”

Me, now really smelling blood in the water lol:

“When I saw what he did to King and Queen, my jaw dropped. Imo the Yonko and the Admirals are relative in strength.”

Friend: “Dude you speak the truth. I whole heartedly agree, the community does not give the admirals enough credit. I think they are relative too, if not how would they have ever been able to keep them in check?”

And then the conversation continued but got onto less relevant subjects lol so we’ll stop here lol.

So then I talked to friend #2 via phone so I can’t copy and paste his words, so I’m paraphrasing, keep that in mind. But anyway, same thing. We start talking about OP and I immediately bring up Ryokugyu.

Friend2: “I was not expecting him to be that strong, I don’t think Big Mom can defeat him or any Admiral.”

Me, once again smelling blood:

“I agree man, but keep in mind that Kaido and Big Mom were portrayed as virtual equals in strength, Kaido could not make any progress against her when they fought.”

Friend: “Yeah, I kind of doubt that Kaido really was the strongest character in the world (I remember these words verbatim), if he was really the strongest I think he would’ve shown that against Big Mom-

-but like you said he couldn’t defeat her.”

Me: “Well, I don’t think we should’ve expected Kaido to defeat her when they fought, but I do think that we should’ve at least got some kind of cue that Kaido had a slight advantage against her or something, but no, Kaido literally was portrayed as her equal.”

And these next words, I swear on my honor as a Marine fan, he says to me:

Friend2: “Yeah…idk man. We could very well find out that Admirals are stronger than the post timeskip Yonko”

…..

I share this anecdote to encourage my fellow Marine enjoyers. These two friends are pretty casual readers at the moment but even they can see that Yonko > Admiral is bullshit lol. Do not be discouraged by radical WorstGen trolls, Oda is truly setting up the Admirals for god tier EOS feats.

good to see that you have smart friends
btw all my friends who read/watch one piece also believe admirals > yonko even so they are Shanks fanboys
they believe only shanks and bb can fight admirals
i think it's also partially related to age since my friend group is average 25+ years old

It seems that unlike a lot of so called "One Piece fans" your friends can actually READ properly

Damn man, all friends of mine who follow One Piece opt the so-called general consensus Yonko = 1.5/2 Admiral lol.

Been trying to give them some new perspectives through Admiral fans view which mostly I got from WG but no effect lmao.

If you take an unbiased reading of the manga, unpolluted by YouTubers and Reddit, these are all logical conclusions.

Ot from your anecdotes but a couple of years ago i was getting drinks with my wife and her coworkers, half of them had OJ open on their phones to read spoilers. Small world.
