Powers & Abilities Favorite and least Favorite power ups

[Rumble]

Gear 2 vs Blueno was dope.

Diable Jambe reveal was great.

Spoiler: Diable Jambe

Water 7 was hype as hell for the entire crew.

You think so? I thought it's a great one. It's a clear abuse of the DF and haki in general. Retrospectively it shows how luffy had fully used up all his fruit could give. So he had to come with this form. It's basically G3 on amphetamines after all.

The biggest issue is that if you look at how Luffy uses his fruit with the other Gears (especially in base tho) is there’s a lot more versatility with the stretchy nature of it. But gear 4 makes Luffy such a boring linear fighter. What does he do? He runs at opponents and then hits him with a big punch or snake man where he doesn’t even move.

That’s my main issue with it

ACOC is one of the most disappointing power ups ever: the most advanced application of the rarest of powers is nothing more than « hit harder ».
Lame

 

[Roo]

AdCoC haki is trash

G5 was cool at first, but Oda fumbled it by having Kaido smiling like an idiot instead of being angry at being trolled

best power up is G2, with G4 reveal being a close second

Favorite is Diable Jambe, because it's:

A. Well thought.

1) Origin : Encountering ice-based enemy in Long Ring Long Land arc.
2) Inspiration : Wanze with his spinning kick creating fire.
3) Application : Sanji spins and lit his legs.

B. Reasonable

- Sanji is speed type character, this powerup stems from his speed, makes sense.
- Friction creates heat, makes sense.
- He is sentimental type person, fire is a good representation.
- His eyebrows are literally a swirl.

Sanji's exoskeleton represents mutation that Sanji's mother was trying to prevent, she killed herself for that and he somehow still got it.

What she was trying to prevent is the loss of emotions, as Judge wished for a cold killing machine.

The explanation that putting on a suit somehow activated his dormant genes is ridiculous.

It awakens after 3 times of usage, specifically the next usage after Sanji's blood is merging with the suit (bath house scene).

Gene = blood, blood interact with the suit and mutation happens? Pretty common.

I would much rather Sanji have the raid suit.

Rait Suit represents permanent invisibility, which would pairs the worst for a pervert like Sanji. Both in-universe and real life implications.

Raid suit effectively represented his family trying to bury the hatcet and trying to amend relations with Sanji, in their own way

GIVING Sanji Raid Suit is how they "bury the hatchet & make amends". That's literally how WCI ends.

and in the process helping Sanji with minor dream after all blue (i.e invisibility).

All Blue required Sanji to dive down very deep. We don't know if Raid Suit is waterproof. Exoskeleton on the other hand allows Sanji to explore the depths without worrying about his body being broken by undersea pressure.
