Powers & Abilities ACoC isn’t a casually used technique, it’s a trump card

[Monkey D Theories]

I think that due to Kaido, who spams ACoC constantly, fans have a misunderstanding of the capabilities of ACoC. Yes, Kaido spams ACoC and uses it effortlessly. But Kaido is the strongest creature.

For a majority of characters, ACoC isn’t a casual technique, it is a trump card. It’s not that Oda made these characters “forget their haki”, it’s that ACoC is literally their ultimate ability and most characters don’t use it unless they have to.

proof:

Zoro’s KoH is his ultimate form. He admitted he can’t use it for long. He didn’t even use ACoC against the seraphim.

Against both Lucci and Kizaru, Luffy has shown that he’d rather use G4 and G5 before using ACoC. Meaning ACoC and not his DF abilities, is Luffy’s trump card.

BM only used ACoC once in WCI and in the Kid/Law fight. In WCI, she used it to destroy the KX launchers. Against Kid, she used it to try to repel damned punk.

honestly, even Kaido doesn’t use ACoC right off the bat. He starts the fight with his dragon form and only turns to ACoC later when he gets more serious.

I think the only characters we’ve seen who use ACoC right off the bat are Garp, Shanks and Roger, but tbh that’s to be expected.

Luffy was spamming ACoC too.

You don't need to rationalize it.
It's just Oda sandbagging his characters by making them play princess & not use their abilities to stall for a few chapter, until he's willing to let them go all out.

Yeah but that was against Kaido. He was using all his strength.

I don’t see how this is the case when we see this consistently across all CoC users.

Even Kaido uses dragon form before he uses CoC.

Koh isn't just acoc

 

[Cruxroux]

Oda clowning Strawhats.
He does it every arc.

 

[SkySanji]

It's not really a trump card, it's just not necessary all the time, Luffy can spam ACoC all he wants but what's the point if it isn't necessary?

Page was trying to hurt a little girl, so she overreacted.

Kaido uses it flippantly, probably because he’s the strongest.

Yamato.

 

[Reborn]

Haki is draining and I am sure AdCoC will be more draining...

So, why to use it everytime when you have AdCoA or df to work with

 

[Fujishiro]

• Linlin used Haoshoku coating against Page 1

Then she forgot she had it

 

[Dickie D. Dick]

ACoC is just weak against actual competent fighters.

 

[MonsterKaido]

It is plot tbh
