Like Katakuri is don't be fooled.

He was given focus back then cuz BM was not the one to be defeated.

Do people realize this or not lmao?

If BM was the one to be defeated back in wci then kata would have been another strong background fella wew.
But BM didn't get defeated and we know what happened

So far, Kata is far more 'Special' than King

Well he lacks panels that's for sure but damn when he appears, he makes the others a complete fodders. The way he handled BMP, dealt yamato's situation, reacted to his captain's move and gave his sword in less than 1 second just proved he is gonna be so hard to defeat and interesting. A man who is with kaido more than 20 years, unknown race, probably the first mate is not gonna be forgotten by oda lol.
Don't need to have 100 chapters about you to be a powerful and interesting character otherwise shanks, dragon, mihawk and roger are also waste characters which is obviously not the case.

I have a general question for you?

How does screen time and importance equal power levels?
Because it does.

But here, I think Oda wanna show that Jack will be one of the most important figures during Wano.

Pero keeps getting more focus than Smoothie, which confirms that After BM, Kata and Pero are the 2 important pieces : the Strongest brother and the eldest brother who's a Quick thinker. I
Perhaps With Kaido's crew, Yamato and Jack ? We know Yamato is the most important piece, but who's the second most important?

How ironic Yamato, Jack and Momo are all 28... All 3 have deep plots.
King is from an unique race. Oda could expand on that. Idk how hes gonna do that in the middle of the war though
This is what I wonder, how would Oda expand King's race and give him enough focus that surpass Queen/jack's during the war

King has no character. No dialogues, no quirks, no unique design. He is just statue that is there just to get defeated. Jack is far better and far more important than this bdsm statue.
This.

He's the least in terms of dialogues, personality, design, hype, everything

If I wanna make a comparison :
Katakuri - Yamato... The important piece, introduced during the feast
Pero - Jack, has deep plots with characters,. More focus
Cracker - Queen : the first commanders to lose in their arc, or you can put Queen ~ Pero since both have been given more focus than someone stronger than them.
Smoothie - King, less focus than people weaker than them or Compote-- King since they were introduced 3x in one arc or

He has less presence and focus than the flyers and Queen.
Now with Yamato getting all the focus beside Kaido, King is feeling more and more left out.

It has been 60+ chapters and yet the future isn't promising.
Is Oda only writing King to have him be beaten like nothing special or will he at least get a momentum?

Act 2 was Queen's spotlight
Act 3 is ending, and it focus is on Yamato and flyers
Act 4 is Kaido and BM themselves

How can Oda fit King into the spotlight?
He's not gonna get the same treatment as Kat.... Fans believe he's the best swordsman in wano, if he is suppose to be this amazing swordsman, Why hasnt Oda highlighted that? Were damn near 80 chapters into the arc and not a single person has said anything about Kings swordsmanship. Gyukimaru or the Scabbards could have said something about King atleast.

No... Apparently King swordmanship and fame is so great that Ashura, Denjiro, Gyukimaru etc... Don't even mention him as someone to take down, they only see Kaido! Kaido!

Like I said,
Lol, people still upset and Jack isn't the #1 Commander?
It's not that, When Jack has more plot and importance than the strongest Calamity, there's an issue
Oda either flopped or wanted Jack to be the strongest calamity but changed his mind
Or King is just a background dude meant to fight and lose that's it

Some people are so insecure about King’s powerlevel :saden::saden:
You hate to see it :shame:
Insecure of PL is nonsense

We know King would never top Katakuri spotlight, importance, PL, skills, haki stays etc...
Same way Marco also can't... Oda made Marco another background character, a support piece for Luffy not one of the main leader/face of Alliance.

It's about King being at least interesting and having a plot, having more focus than flyers at least.

80 chapters of Wano, 60 chapters since his debut , none much... Sorry
If he was introduced later as Yamato was, I'll understand but you seriously won't tell me King is an important figure in Wano arc as Jack, Yamato and Kaido
Hell Queen is more than him now.

Yes, because he's the weakest right hand, and there for Zoro to kick his ass. People that compare him to Katakuri should be banned from the power scaling forums.

But watch. Oda is going to say something about his extinct race, that has almost 0 to do with power scaling, and people are going to wank him again... until Zoro beats him.
It is impossible to make any YC1 weaker than Katakuri except perhaps Marco but considering his regeneration he is above Katakuri.

King will probably have double the bounty of Katakuri, remains second in command in a meritocracy for decades. He will most likely fight a character who is thousand times more lethal than Luffy.

He himself is thousand times more lethal than Luffy, combat style more lethal Katakuri's. Durability, endurance, lethality, DC are above Katakuri's easily without even seeing his feats.

Imagine King hitting Luffy over 100 times and failing to beat him. I think it is literally impossible to make a YC1 worse than Katakuri.

Not gonna happen.
He already got 1 shotted by Kaido who's using a weapon weaker than King's sword.


King's sword is more lethal and stronger than Kaido's club (thus why Kaido borrowed the sword instead of using his usual Thunder Bagua). So much for Luffy mid or high diffs King non sense. 1 clean hit from King and Luffy maybe dead already.

What is the problem? It is true King is getting a lot less panel time than other beast pirates characters but that is just to add up to his hype when you see that eveyrbody from Queen to the last headliner are made a fool of almost every time (Queen managing Udon, managing Luffy/Killer/Zoro intrusion, wanting to escape from Kaido/BM etc.) while King solves mortal threats like eating breakfast (throwing BM pirates down the waterfall / comparison with Marco).
