Powers & Abilities Is Asura a move or a form

To me its always been a move. Zoro hasn't manuevered around or done any variant attacks while using that technique so there is no evidence of it being a form of its own.

a move.

he went ashura, talked with kaku, destroyed kakus attack, and then performed ichibugin.

its a form, unless you think all of the above is "one move"

a move.

But Zoro has three different Attacks in Ashura

Two are canon and one is from Strong world (The one Movie directly written by Oda)

And Zoro does in fact Manuever in the form.

Like why would there be mulplte attacks if it’s One move?

Like Ashura is just nine sword style, so I would say its a move rather than a form like G4. ofcourse maybe alling ittoryou/nitoryou/santoryou/Kyutoryu would be better but if I have to choose between move/form I would say its a move.

Huh? So is Zoro’s three sword style a move or a form too?

like Zoro transitioning from using 1 sword combat to using Three sword combat. Is that akin to Zoro changing from a move to another move or changing from an entire set of moves to another entire set of moves, meaning changing forms.

I think Oda has intentionally wrote Ashura to be quite misleading and ambiguous to how it works, but so far to me it seems like it hasn't been elaborated enough to be considered a form. Yet. In comparison to other confirmed forms from other characters, this hasn't been explained enough yet.

Attack variants are common in One Piece though. Until there is a moment where there is further evidence of it, I just consider it a line of attacks with the demonic deity aura around it from Zoro's presence. I am just not convinced its a form until Oda elaborates more on that. Not saying its not possible, I guess now would be the time to find out more during the fight on the roof.

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

further evidence of it,

Give an example of the “further evidence” you want

 

[nik87]

It's clearly a form, as explained by @Zenos7 chan, the only speculation is its duration.
Whether it lasts long or short, both scenarios are good for Zoro.
If it lasts short then Zoro's base is that much better to be able to fight without Asura.
If it lasts long then Zoro gets to stay in god mode longer.

they are moves, its a sword style. Just using extra swords + moveset with it. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if there is no more ashura too in the series, and it was just one time thing.

Then what is a form? I thought a form is change of movesets. Like one move set, turns into a another moveset

How do you define what a form is

Well a form is something I expect to be something which changes the user himself giving a boost, I would only attribute it to mostly DF users though(zoans obviosuly all have that).
Zoro even have Mutoryu...doesn't mean its a new form...its just a style.

why does it need to be explained to be a form?

going ashura, talking, destroying an attack (which is basically an attack itself), and then running towards kaku to finish him with ichibugin, is not just "a move" lmfao.

style=/=move though

 

[vikas]

I just quickly checked the wiki, it is pretty much mentioned there too.
Kiki Kyutoryu: Asura => Ghastly Nine Sword/Blade Style: Asura
So its just part of....and the only style related to nine sword style(similar to how we have Iai with one sword style)

So a Form increases bodily physical stats? You don’t think Zoro gaining multiple arms and heads increases his bodily physical stats?


Also, Is Lao G’s full life a form or not?

 

[Zenos7]

and it was just one time thing.

zoro used it twice though

No because he is not gaining anything. Its just an illusion.

Don't even remember that guy

 

[HA001]

Asura is 9 sword style.

9 sword style like 1/2/3 sword style are NOT attacks

 

[Finalbeta]

It's a mode for this precise reason:

Asura is not strictly connected to any attack. You can use Asura without attacking. An attack is meant to be self-indicative and self-sufficient, you use an attack to... attack.
