Wholeheartedly agree with everything you've said but it's possible that in this instance, Oda is trying to suggest that Oden never had to use advanced COA to cut Kaidou. He just used overwhelming cutting power + haki. Perhaps using a Two-Sword style 'X' slash multiplies the damage output at the...

Hmm changed my mind. Last time I wanted Queen to have a weapons type paramecia but now I think it's better to keep the whole Zoan thing for the Beast Pirates Instead, Queen should have a Virus Zoan. He's basically a virus. Can reform from attacks and if he gets split apart each puiece grows...

Love love LOVE Jack's design but would probably not have given him the Woolly Mammoth fruit. At a certain angle it looks like he's got a massive peen on his face. :giogio: I dread what his hybrid form would look like.:pepeke: But I like him as a tough durable meathead with bash/smash...

What I meant is that Oda doesn't put his money where his mouth is. Falling 10000 meters looks impressive but show some other top tier doing it and coming out heavily injured. Or show Kaidou get back up from something another top tier would be defeated by. Maybe a G4 King Kong Gun or two. And...

It rankles that we see Kaidou at his worst (well one of his all-time worst) before we ever saw him at his best. Him one-shotting Luffy was to me, a given. Any Yonkou would have done fairly well against that Luffy. Oda didn't show us Kaidou taking hits from fellow Yonkous and just shrugging it...

Yup. This is a very good point that some often miss. Kaidou not only has to share the limelight with the Wano characters dead and alive, but also legends like Roger and WB, plus guest-stars Shanks, Marco, Rayleigh, even Teach and Jozu and Scopper. Oh and Ace, don't forget him. Then Oda had to...

Find that hard to believe. Kaidou stagnated for 20 years while everyone else either grew stronger or weaker? nahhh Besides in-universe no-one wpould be hyping Kaidou as the current strongest living thing if he's around the same level he was back then. Big Mom, BB, even the Marines wouldn't be...

Spoilers made it out like Kaidou was a complete fraud and he was cowardly and underhanded. Turns out, he was basically acting like the WG back at Marineford when they turned the island into an ambush death-trap vs the WB pirates using strategy and tactics. Trick Oden into a pledge of peace for...

The problem is that if Marco can ignore damage due to regeneration and Kata can evade it due to future sight yet King has to tank every hit and slash - unless his endurance is somewhat endless, he's taking on damage that will accumulate to the point he won't be able to fight anymore or dies...

Ishikawa Goemon the guy Oden was inspired by was said to have attempted the assasination of the Shogun at the time, Hideyoshi Toyotomi - or at least his story was associated heavily with this idea. He was caught and the method of execution was boiling alive. Not like the Japanese back then had...

Oden went to his death willingly. He probably lowered his defenses just as Roger did when two no-named fodder decapitated him all the way back when ( just like Luffy was about to back in Logue town, Don't care how the anime chose to show the Roger execution). Just like the real-life Ishikawa...

This should hopefully kill off the majority of the "Orochi and Kaidou poisoned Oden/Kaidou didn't win clean/Oden OP Kaidou and Orochi cheated" threads and posts which frankly, were bloody irritating to skim read.

Can't wait to see what King has that sets him apart from the other right hand and also why he is one. I mean, to put it simply, Marco has endless regeneration. Yes he has 'limits' yet to be described, but I take that with the same consideration as Law's stamina 'limit' -- it didn't really stop...

Just glad there's no break after this. As far as the spoilers go...ehh I'll wait till the chapter drops

The two Dukes vs Jack round 1 then Jack vs Jinbe round 2

He dragged the arc way beyond its intended endpoint which should have been the end of the Tea party. This is where having strong editors would have helped to cut down all the new ideas he suddenly began developing as the arc progressed. This was the arc where the editors were basically hyping...

It's cutting it close then if he intends to end the arc on chapter 1000.

Or Oda designed the characters with balance issues in mind. If they have hax DF abilities they'll likely get weaker physical attributes so as not be overpowered. But there are a few exceptions. BM has an incredibly hax fruit, and was basically born with top tier strength, durability and haki -...

I know everyone seems to think Kaidou will likely kick the bucket this arc. But I'm gonna play devil's advocate and say it's Big Mom that will die here, not necessarily Kaidou. Although the Scabbards bear a passing resemblance to the Seven Samurai and four of those did die and became guardian...

Depends on whether chapter 1000 signifies the end of the arc or a major highlight really. I mean we are on 38 chapters right till the millenium mark? I can somewhat see Oda squeezing an entire arc's worth of fights in around 30 chapters (wasn't the whole of MF around 33 or thereabouts?) Even...
