Powers & Abilities Asura and Hell’s Memories are attacks, not forms

#42
Asura is a mode, but Zoro only uses it for one attack

not sure if it takes a bunch of Stamina from him so he keeps it for last
But it’s a mode because he uses different attacks

hell memories on other hand is ambigeous
The attack itself is called hell memories, so it can be a technique

but he also covers his whole body with fire which should allow it to be a mode to use different techniques but Sanji doesn’t do that

it’s weird… maybe as Sanji stated
His body wasn’t able to withstand more heat before to make the Ifrit jambe.. which leads us to conclusion

if Sanji’s leg (his strongest part) couldn’t handle more heat and fire before… then rest of his body including his precious arms and hands… they will be vulnerable for hell memories to be an elongated mode… because his legs might withstand the heat but the rest of his body cannot contain such heat for longer than one attack

however, with exoskelton… he might now be able to stay covered in flames as a mode!?

who knows

but we can be clear now that heat/fire is affecting Sanji unlike mera mera fruit where Ace or Sabo don’t feel the heat

Sanji feels the heat, but he doesn’t burn because his heart burns hotter and his body can tank and endure such heat

and now with exoskeleton combined with CoA, he can withstand a hotter flame, thus we got ifrit jambe

Unlike Sanji's fire attacks, Zoro's Asura has always been connected to Haki, or will in-story whereas Sanji's flame powers were never insinuated as such. While both aren't confirmed to be haki, Asura at least has manga panels to support such claim.
No other CoC user has shown a physical manifestation of CoC.

Not Whitebeard, Shanks, Luffy or even Roger.

So there's two possibilities either Pre-Timeskip Zoro was that much better at CoC than those above he's able to manifest a physical form to his CoC...or it's nothing to do with CoC.

I'm betting it's the latter.

Or it could be a level of CoC not showcased yet. Zoro in the Pre-TS showcased abilities much stronger individuals in the story never do until much later. The case of what Zoro's Asura is hasn't closed, and I would like your opinion on what Asura could be.

So Pre-Timeskip Zoro was still better than current Luffy at CoC? Cap.

Having an ability that's not been showcased yet usually means having a higher level than the previous versions we've seen.

My thoughts on Asura is I'm not sure what it is but the idea pre-timeskip Zoro is throwing around advanced CoC casually when he's only just been able to pull out basic and advanced CoC now due to Enma is hard to believe and is either an assupull or bad writing by Oda..

I find it hard to believe Oda would make Zoro that advanced with CoC when Luffy is the person who specialises in it. Zoro will only ever show CoC feats Luffy has after Luffy has figured it out.

Asura is a mode to me is perhaps similar to how Cavendish can bring out an alternative stronger personality etc however this is also my headcanon

Asura looks more like a form. I don't recall an attack being called the same but changing the final words. Asura might be like a combination
