    Powers & Abilities New Goalpost for Zoro?

    Selective reading. The fight starts with the MC shining, duh. The next chapter, Zoro gave BM a scare and had Kaido remembering Oden. Kaido after Zoro scarred him: "a shame, we could've conquered the world together" Yamato cuff scene is just skill issue (internal destruction armament), nothing...

    Powers & Abilities New Goalpost for Zoro?

    You don't even need to go as far as rooftop Zoro ~ rooftop Luffy, even though that is likely true. Rooftop Zoro is undeniably considerably stronger than pre Udon Luffy, even most Zoro haters would agree on it, that is all that's needed. Outcome of Zoro vs Katakuri barely changes, rooftop or...

    Powers & Abilities New Goalpost for Zoro?

    "Lucci was admiral level" possibly existed before Luffy vs Lucci happened, though I don't recall that take ever being popular. I myself had him possibly at borderline top tier and above or comparable to Zoro back then. Lucci being borderline top tier or in betweener wasn't uncommon back then...

    Powers & Abilities New Goalpost for Zoro?

    Check list vise? Dude should be at least entry level top tier at this point. To be sure (and narratively), we will know if Zoro can fight a top tier 1v1 and match him. It's purely just portrayal holding him back now

    Manga Discussion Fairy Tail

    x784 Fairy Tail was peak! I don't dislike a single arc in that timeline. They were all either ok, good or great. It all went downhill once the Tenrou timeskip happened. Even the anime reflect that. The first half of the series had great animation, art and soundtracks.

    Questions & Mysteries Ace was executed because of Shanks?

    I mean, Roger is still an exceptional top tier. But now, he has to leech off prime Whitebeard (equal of this monster) and his subordinates (captain of two top tiers, one of whom got comparisons with Shanks)....cause he himself has nothing. I used to remember how it was Whitebeard leeching off...

    Questions & Mysteries Why is the Straw Hat Pirates’ journey so short?

    DBZ is the godfather of shounen and Toriyama allowed his MC to grow into adult, and all protagonists were adults as well. Loda is just weird with this shit. Wano should've ended with another timeskip, it makes zero sense for Luffy to go from one shot material of base Kaido, to being relative...

    Questions & Mysteries Ace was executed because of Shanks?

    The Roger of our imaginations (or at least mine lol) pre TS was a more legendary figure than Rocks lol. Even Rocks didn't live upto what we thought about him lol. Rocks was implied to be a far more chaotic and maniacal figure than what he turned out to be.

    Questions & Mysteries Ace was executed because of Shanks?

    Yeah, Oda was very clearly implying that Roger, even as a very young man, knew there was something he had to do and that he was driven by destiny to change the world. The very aura of Roger meeting Rayleigh was everything the CDs feared about the Ds. An uncontrollable, almost prophetic, rebel...

    Questions & Mysteries Ace was executed because of Shanks?

    Oda changed Roger's role in the series. Roger went from the over-arching larger than life figure, who had some similarities with Luffy but was still implied to be notably different; to ditto old gen Goofy having mickey mouse rivalries. Pre TS Roger was the undisputed GOAT. And the way even...

    General & Others At Their Peak Who Was The Best Villain in Naruto?

    Pain >> Orochimaru > Madara >>> everyone else Pain is just GOATed. Naruto would've been top tier if Kishimoto somehow managed to wrap up the series with Pain as the endgame boss.

    Questions & Mysteries What is Teach's non-sleeping ability related to?

    I don't think it's haki related. Him not sleeping is the same reason Luffy and Zoro said "it's not he, it is them" It is also the same reason he can eat multiple devil fruits. IMO he has multiple souls within his body. Likely 3 - his own soul, Rocks and Davy Jones.

    General & Others Isnt it funny how Oda could lose interest in the straw hats but never side characters?

    A good thing. One Piece world is actually interesting, but strawhats are trash. I only wish that Oda sidelined Luffy as well, and we completlely went off the script. Like HxH lol

    Zenzu spitting facts lol. I'll just push back on "Luffy won't leave Franky, Brook or Robin to handle Ray like with BM". He absolutely would lol, if plot demands. It's unfair to downplay BM for this. Other than that, Ray's portrayal is comparable to Oden's - partner type RHM of Roger/WB. IMO...
