When the plot moves forward, an admiral arrived in Wano admitting he was afraid of him, Gaban in Elbaf admitted he was afraid of him, and in EGG no one surpassed him in talent, portrayal, statements, etc

:gokulaugh::gokulaugh::gokulaugh: You keep talking about “narrative interpretation,” but you still haven’t shown a single alternate interpretation that is supported by either grammar or context. Saying “context matters” doesn’t help you unless the context actually points to another meaning —...

Saying “it can be interpreted” without showing how the wording supports those interpretations is not an argument — it’s just an escape hatch. :Rofl: That’s not how interpretation works. A phrase is only “open to interpretation” when the language itself allows multiple readings. Here, the grammar...

Yes, stories can use metaphors, themes, and layered meanings — no one denies that. But that has nothing to do with the specific phrase “the island of the strongest.” Multiplicity of meaning in literature does not magically override grammatical constraints. A title can only have multiple...

You’re forcing interpretations that simply do not exist linguistically. “The island of the strongest” is a grammatically objective construction. It does not mean: “the island of the one who wants to die” “the island of the one who thinks he is Joy Boy” or any subjective characterization you...

Dude, that's a statement, there's no ambiguity in it other than us saying that Kaido is the strongest. There is a huge grammatical difference between: “The island of the one who considers himself the strongest” & “The island of the strongest” You realize that you’re rephrasing the statement to...

Well, King was only stating what was already true and his perception, as was the old witch's. Nice try

Well, if you want a statement from when Whitebeard was alive, there's the old witch calling Kaido the personification of strength and King telling him to remain the strongest, which means he was already THE STRONGEST.

Regardless of whether he got anywhere, Oda didn't seem to be giving it much importance.

Iron Garp, wielding PK-level Haki, gets pierced and badly injured by Shiryu's sword, while everyone else cries because Kaido withstood Oden's finisher, which left Kaido with a scar larger than Garp's entire body.

I don't think so; if he were capable, Oden would have said so, but he didn't. And Whitebeard, in his prime, avoided a fight against Kaido

:steef::steef::steef:

Forget Oden’s Togen Totsuka — Shiryu showed us that the Scabbards’ Togen Totsuka could K.O. old Garp.

I mean, Kaidou was the best and strongest guy we had — a battle of endurance against the strongest is never a good thing, especially when Kaidou is known for being the toughest man in the world.

Leaving this here

The problem isn't the swords; I believe it's Oda's inability to provide us with a visually appealing fight between two swordsmen.

Too many transformations! Soon we'll have Luffy from 1 to 100 in YOUTUBE, just like Goku had transformations, but instead of adding 95 fan-drawn ones, Luffy will truly have 100 transformations. Epithet at the end of the series: Luffy of the 100 Beast Transformations

That set you're using with Waidou exploding in Haki is amazing, even more so now that we know he's stronger than Roger and Garp.
