Most emphatically not.
Saturn is not the Kuma of this arc. He's the main arc antagonist.
The Vice Admirals are answering to Saturn not Borsalino
Borsalino himself is answering to Saturn
Saturn is the one commanding the Pacifista
Saturn is the one that hurt Luffy's crewmates
Saturn is the one...
Fight has been nearly entirely off paneled
We have yet to see a single proper attack from Zoro or Lucci yet
Zoro hasn't tied his bandana
He does this whenever he starts fighting seriously
Zoro hasn't been using his signature Santoryu for most of the fight:
Likewise, Zoro always fights...
Zoro's swords appear to not be hardened in the page where he's clashing with Awakened Lucci:
After trash talking Lucci, we see Zoro harden his blades with accompanying haki tendrils:
However, these tendrils resemble overflowing COA/Ryuo more than the black lightning of Haoshoku coating.
For...
I have a few fictional stories I've been running in my head for months/years, I'm not functional enough to write, but I sometimes write excerpts for scenes I particularly like.
I plan to collect those excerpts here.
I'm hoping for critical feedback and to become a better writer by doing so.
Haoshoku coating can do everything you can do with COA, just better:
Flow
Armour
Barrier
Enhance attacks
Resist/negate devil fruits
And COC is much more potent than COA at all the above functions.
Did Oda make COA irrelevant at the Top Tier level?
The VAs were having trouble getting past Pacifista and Sea Beasts
Lucci didn't even acknowledge them, saying that as long as he and Borsalino are there, the Strawhats would be annihilated
I.e. they just aren't that strong
They haven't had any significant presence in the arc
Unlike the...
Zoro vs Lucci was setup in the same chapter as Luffy vs Borsalino.
Lucci said that as long as he and Borsalino are here the alliance would be annihilated. To which Zoro replied that he's underestimating them.
Zoro and Lucci also moved to a separate location (which is similar to how the King...
I'd like to be taken off tag lists, please.
It's fine if you manually tag me for something you want me to see, but being mass included in tags just clutters my notifications. And it's making WorstGen less hedonic for me.
When I login and see tons of notifications to go through, it's...
ZKK was wrong, but there were many plot threads pointing to it that Oda just abandoned in Wano.
It's not the case that there was no basis for ZKK:
A look at Inherited Will in the Land of Wano
An analysis of the Oden's will to slay Kaido and open Wano's borders, passed on to his Scabbards and...
Looks like the Vice Admirals won't disembark on Egghead proper before the Strawhats depart.
And the Strawhats are planning to escape with a Coup De Burst (perhaps Vegapunk enhanced), so we're not going to have one on one sea battles.
Would this be an arc where only Luffy gets a full fledged 1...
He's shown attending to and directly reporting to Saturn.
That gives him superior portrayal to all the other VAs there.
Oda has chosen to make him the most important of the VAs.
He's also a Buster Call VA and was depicted as one of the more important VAs pretimeskip.
Those hoping for...
As I understand it, the "Admiral Candidates" (Tokikake and Gion) were fan made VAs that Oda decided to make canon.
However, neither of them have ever been referred to as "Admiral Candidates" in the manga itself. The term "Admiral Candidates" or other references to the concept doesn't seem to...
Where were they at Marineford?
If Zoro is going to be pushed to a solid medium difficulty (or even higher), by his Egghead opponent, then his opponent should be stronger than King (who was himself a level above Marco).
If such strong VAs existed (excluding the anomalous Garp who turned down an...
