The only thing I could find is the info from Arthur


So no I wouldn't really get hyped just by that.
When Oda decides to show in manga stainless doberman and momonga side by side and he is shown as the only on trembling I can't put him at the top VAs.

"Immense powerful Vice Admiral + freely uses rokushiki with a lot of skill" i dont remember Oda hyping a Charachter in Databook like this in terms of strebgth + his status as the Boss of G1 says it all he earned that position trough strength over the Timeskip. Look what Coby just did to avalo and guess what Momonga would stil neg diff Coby

Also a small reminder (Smoker was just the Boss of G5) Momonga is above Smoker in terms of Position

We know the marines learn rokushiki and freely ,could just mean he has his own techniques with it. No different than Who's who who made hand pistol into fang pistol.

As for him being hyped as immensely powerful it is there to hype his feat of oneshotting the sea king.
No different than the vista card, where it says he is a top class swordsman being able to compete against Mihawk.

A Praising comment for their feat.

And you have your way of understanding the info of momonga. However Oda and not his team(vivre cards),decided to draw him shook and his stocks are below the VAs that stand besides him.
The fodder were sent flying he was struggling to keep his ground and the other 2 were nonchalant. There is only one way to take this into account . Momonga is weaker than them..

Imo the « Admiral candidate » Vice admirals needs to look like real Japanese actor. People like Momonga, Onigumo and Doberman are not « admiral candidates ».
Well, I very much hope so.

Momonga is a good character, but if he was an admiral candidate, the Marines would do better to stop existing.

Canon but are just silly Easter eggs who won’t play a major role in the story
Then why use the very same concept he kind of invented for them for others VA?

If they are actually fan made, introduced to Oda by a SBS and then introduced by Oda himself into the manga then imo you can consider them canon but they will not have any relevant part in the story, most likely, even because Oda has barely time to fit in admirals, VA, gorosei, holy knights and what not.

What I think may happen is the introduction of a 6th and final admiral. The 3 original admirals have the 3 primary colors: red, blue and yellow, now red got promoted and violet was the new admiral while blue was kicked out and green replaced him. Now we just need yellow to somewhat cease to be an admiral and have orange take his place. Somebody who knows more than me here thinks it should be orange mouse or something like that (following a chinese or japanese zodiac the other admirals nicknames are based upon). But at least it is to be expected to complete the secondary colors after the primary ones (even if the time to introduce new characters is long gone, even worse when you have gorosei fighters, Figarland and holy knights to introduce).

I mean, Oda straight up calls her that
You can headcanon that he was joking, and that she was only a candidate in his mind as in who to create a next Admiral?


But them being candidates doesn't mean that they are anywhere close in power to Admirals, it just means they were the strongest of Vice Admirals, but still too weak for Admiral rank.

Vice Admirals are just 1 rank below Admiral.

So any Vice Admiral should be able to apply to Admiral and be candidates, yet it doesnt really shows how strong they are, they could still just be Yc2 until proven otherwise.

The thing is 'Admiral Candidate' doesn't tell us anything.

Were they just some of the characters Oda was considering using for new Admirals or were they actually considered 'in story' for the position? If 'in story' then how many others were considered and what was the reason they weren't picked?
