Akainu didn't grow

Teach isn't Akainu
Why do you people keep thinking Akainu is like Teach or whoever
He's not. The dude was already at peak. He didn't grow whatever
Yes he did

the narrative of him growing is clear when he went from being Admiral to being Fleet admiral after beating Aokiji

His rank increased as his power level accordingly

Pretty disingenuous to put a lot of qualifiers on Kaido (not-prime, base, nameless club), but not the same on Whitebeard (not-prime, literal heart attack city, not combining his supreme ranked weapon and his DF).
It's disingenuous excusing that particular one shot moment for Lolden when Akainu wasn't put in coma by enraged Whitebeard, lol. Yes, it's a valid comparison because Whitebeard used all his power to hit Akainu, splitting MF in result, meanwhile we know Kaido got far far far more than that.

Getting the most spotlight, aside from Whitebeard, doesnt equal to strongest character present in Marineford.
I say this because there are at least 5 stronger ones than Akainu.
Let me guess who those 5 are for you (not in order)

1) shiryu because he's zoro opponent

2) kiz because you think he's zoro opponent

3) mihawk - zoro WSS title opponent

4) shanks - because he dueled zoro wss title opponent

5) vista because he stalled zoro wss title opponent

Who was excusing it though?

Jailer didn’t mention Oden, he just said that Akainu’s performance against Deadbeard was unimpressive for the supposed strongest character.

You then tried to bring up Oden vs non prime Kaido as a counter while ignoring the fact that Whitebeard was nowhere near his prime either. But no one is arguing that Oden is the strongest character, or even that he’s stronger than Akainu, so it‘s a very strange and disingenuous argument to make that in no real way disputes the post that you were replying to.

Tf is this headcanon ?

What?
Pre TS :
° Akainu : 53 yo ( beyond his peak )

° Mihawk : 41 yo ( around the peak )

° Shanks : 37 yo ( around the peak )

Assmirals fans creating a new fanfiction.
lol i know it’s difficult for you when we are talking about story or narrative etc but let me explain simply

Shanks and Mihawk independently of their age or anything were narratively at their peak. Their role were already established : Mihawk was and is the WSS and will fight Zoro, it won’t change or vary till EOS. Shanks is Luffy goal, a Yonko, BB enemy etc. It was the same pre skip and is the same post skip.

Their characters were already what they will be in the end of the story.

While for Akainu like Teach his character wasn’t at the its peak and evolved narratively. Akainu was introduced in MF as an admiral but only after the war and during the skip he fought Aokiji and became Fleet admiral and the new Marine leader. And as such his role for EOS was established. Not prior,

Same for Teach who is continuously evolving and growing. Independently of his age. To fit his role as Dark Luffy and one of the end game enemy

Oden was one shot by a nameless club hit from not-prime base Kaido. Akainu was snuck from behind and managed to deal the finishing blow on WB by melting half his head.

You're just mad Akainu's victim will be powercreeped too.
Yes not even a comparable scenario in any way lol. Deadbeard did that, weaker than even that version of Kaido.

Almost right... :sanmoji:
Mihawk, Shanks, Whitebeard, Sengoku, Garp, Kizaru, Blackbeard.
Idk if Shiryu was stronger at that point, possible but cant tell for sure.

Great thread , this was already known based on simple portrayal and achievements at Marineford.

Even now he has best score against top tiers. Giving fatal wounds to Yonko, world strongest pirate at that time and defeating admiral in 1 vs 1.

No other Yonko/admiral has a win over admiral or a feat of fatally wounding another yonko. This fact stings haters the most.

However, shanks isn't an antagonist. He's not actively involved in shaping the plot. bB since his intro and Akainu during MF and as current FA, hold more narrative importance (atleast as of now) as they are not only the antagonists Luffy needs to overcome but also the driving force behind the plot.
People not understand how big and important Shanks,Teach and Akainu are for Oda.
The only one who is currently alive who could live up the hype is Dragon and Garling(as strongest Gorosei).
These 3 are Odas favs, if people think anyone else getting more hype that these 3 above, are dead wrong.

He made Shanks one shot fucking Kid with his 3B and flexing with Future sight and adv CoC..
He flexed with Shanks against fucking Greenbull... He flexed with Shanks against Kaido(backed back and run away).

He didn´t even made it clear that Joyboy haki was far above Shanks, but on similar stage.
And Teach is his fav too, the men who will beat the golden boy Shanks.
Akainu neg diffed Dragons strongest commander(back than Sabo shouldn´t be stronger) easily after getting hit twice by enraged Whitebeard.

If I could bet my money, these trio are 100% these who will get the most hype:
Shanks,Akainu and Teach(and maybe Dragon)

After that characters who I also see getting hype but not the same as these 3 above:
Mihawk,Kuzan,Garling,Sabo,Coby,Loki

These above are characters who also receive lot of hype, but not close to these which the three(four) above will receive.
I didn´t include Imu because he is a god tier, but if people could bet, the four above are getting the most hype.

"Oh no! Someone shamelessly downplayed Akainu for being sneak attacked by an enraged WB and you uno reversed his logic by bringing up another character, who permanently scarred a Yonko, who was KOed by a far weaker attack instead, so this makes you very disingenuous!"

Akainu lives in y'all heads rent free. :suresure:

Enraged Sickbeard performs far greater AP than no-prime, base Kaido who didn't even use TB to one shot Lolden.
