The only key moment in the narrative where its at its peak is when Luffy reveals AdCoC.. Stop..
That's what matters.
Do you choose the narrative keys?
If Kaido's AdvCoC attack didn't exist, Luffy would never have learned how to use it. It is a key moment. What's more, both Kaido's first AdvCoC attack and Luffy's first AdvCoC attack complement each other. They are just as important.
As Luffy's defeat is very important and the sacrifices of the characters is something that Oda gives a lot of importance to. At least, they are much more important moments than the duel between Roger and Shirohigue that does not affect the plot and both are dead or the defeat of Page One.
It's ridiculous that you keep trying to ignore the parts that don't interest you.
Contextual repeated Clues from famous characters like Oden and Law is you being told that AdCoC is no touch ability..
No touching is a fundamental visual effect of AdCoC even it's not 100% accurate, it must be taken account of.. And not in a vacuum, many factors must be looked at, not only trails, not only '' no touching ''.
No matter how much you repeat it, it will not be more true. Both Oden and Law refer
to attacks that don't touch each other, not a specific ability with that ability, like AdvCoC.
Not touching is a fundamental quality of the AdvCoA, which is why it is in its own definition. You can't have the same effect on two different abilities because it's confusing.
It's also a fact that Oda is inconsistent.. Yes Kaido doesn't have AdCoA level 3 at least..
You try to study the facts without taking into consideration Oda's discrepancies..
Do i need to make a thread that shows how Oda has contradicted himself over the span of the One Piece story?..
Oda may make mistakes or have inconsistencies, but he has much more genius and much more consistency. So you can open the topic you want that is indifferent.
Each case is independent and must be studied. Our mission is to find a coherent explanation and we will only resort to Oda's inconsistencies as a last resort, as in the case of lightning, which no matter how many attempts have been made to find an explanation, there are always inconsistencies.
And in this case, following three simple rules, there is a perfect explanation with 0 inconsistencies:
- When the attacks do not touch it is AdvCoA. As its definition says.
- When there are contrails, it is AdvCoC.
- When two attacks don't touch and there are trails, there is AdvCoC on both.
Forget about Zoro and review the entire Wano fight applying these three principles, you will realize that there is no inconsistency. The conclusions we draw are;
- Luffy has AdvCoA because he is able to hit without touch. Something perfectly coherent since we have seen how he learned it. Also, when the trails appear on Luffy, we can confirm that he learned AdvCoC, something that Luffy himself confirms with words.
- Kaido never hits without touching, so we can say that he doesn't have AdvCoA. Something that is confirmed since when he uses it the Akazaya, he calls it Oden's Haki and when he uses it Luffy doesn't know how he managed to damage it. It's clear that Kaido doesn't have AdvCoA, which is logical since he barely even uses basic CoA due to his durability. Also, Kaido has told us that he can see the future, so we can say that he specializes in CoO.
- During the fight between Yamato and Kaido, we see how Yamato has the trails so he has AdvCoC, but he doesn't have the ability to hit without touching, so he doesn't have AvCoA. Which is perfectly logical since he has learned everything he knows from his confrontations with Kaido, so they have the same abilities.
- Big Mom has shown the trails and defeated Page One without touching him, so we can say that it has both AdvCoC and AdvCoA. Which is perfectly normal, since he is a Yonko and if Kaido specializes in AdvCoO, then Big Mom in AdvCoA. We have already been told since Haki was introduced that people tend to develop more of one than the other
It is all perfectly coherent and explainable with three simple premises. You don't have to invent the wheel. It is easy and simple.
So having such a good explanation that justifies everything, easy and simple, we have to stay with it before resorting to Oda's errors or inconsistencies because we don't like what we see.
And now focusing on Zoro, it also has a fairly simple explanation.
- Let's start from the base that AdvCoC is wrong. Unlike the other Hakis, the "basic" King Haki and the "advanced" King Haki are two completely different abilities and are completely unrelated. It is perfectly feasible to have the second without having a clue about the first.
- In the end, the "advanced" King's Haki is practically the same as the CoA, it consists of covering your attacks with it. It's basically the same.
Taking into account these two premises, if we add that Zoro precisely has no idea how to use CoC since he just woke him up and we add to the equation that thanks to Enma he simply decided to release all his Haki wildly, because Zoro simply used the King's Haki as if it were Armor Haki. What we basically mistakenly call AdvCoC.
Zoro's are a series of coincidences, but coherent causalities. He awakens CoC, doesn't know how to use it, and Enma forces him to release Haki wildly.
Again, a coherent, easy and simple explanation. And without the need to resort to Oda mistakes or fanboys.
Zoro still has a ways to go with the CoC, in fact I doubt he can faint targets at will for example. In that aspect, I think it's like Luffy when he woke up CoC that made everyone faint. And even he may spend too much Haki, another point to improve.
