Lmao
- Inflates Hancock and Crocodile's frozen bounties from 80 million to over a billion each post Wano. With Hancock maybe this makes sense, with Crocodile it does not and never did.
- Massively upscales Dorry and Brogy post Haki and facing Gorosei and Brogy nearly died to fucking Mr 3.
- Makes Mihawk "question" how close he was to Whitebeard when he couldnt get past Joz but considers him another Yonko's rival with a close bounty
- Makes Mihawk stall against Vista
- Has Crocodile stall against Doflamingo and Mihawk
- Allows Marco to stall against Kizaru until he was distracted but had massive issues against King and Queen in the end, whom Ryokugyuu apparently demolishes no problem.
- Never lets Kid get 1 shot by BM (who hit him point blank several times with punches and Ikoku Sovereignty) yet Shanks could with virtually zero effort.
- Writes as if Doflamingo could stop or deal with Kuzan or Fujitora in his encounters with them, prevents Fujitora from breaking Bird Cage, and yet Luffy defeats him and proceeds to struggle against YCs who are canonically weaker than Admirals.
But sure, yes, Oda cares so much about intricate, precise powerscaling lol.
Ill say it one more time. I did not say powerscaling doesnt exist in this manga, I said powerscaling doesnt exist in this manga to the degree you hold it to when the author routinely contradicts portrayal of certain characters as the story goes on.
