Controversial It Is Extremely Annoying That Oda Is Holding Back The Admirals NOW (Not A PL Debate)
- Thread starter EmperorKinyagi
- Start date
That doesn't matter, the admirals were major villains in the pre-time skip, even killed a member of the MCs family, and fans have been interested in seeing more of them for over10 years.
If the series ends and it feels like we don't even have a full sense of what they can do, that is a fumble
I hope so dude

I used to but I am not sure anymore.
Objectively speaking, there is nothing in the story that implies we should expect definite straw hat marine battles like in Enies Lobby/Wano/etc
It’s just fans wanting to see admiral-straw hat fights with the expectation set a lot by movies, openings, etc
Again, objectively/narratively speaking, none of them are surefire stuff like Luffy vs Blackbeard for example
No, we might not.

Akainu killed Luffy’s brother, who he had spent 100 chapters trying to save, right in front of him, and gave him his only scar (not counting the scar he gave himself in ch 1).
Fujitora is a bushido swordsman who has already fought Zoro in the past.
Ryokugyu was introduced as a womanizer and having not eaten in over 3 years.
Would be very odd imo if those matchups don’t happen

Oda himself said Marineford was just a side story. As shitty writing as it would be, there's no reason for this to have pay off.
Even worse now that Oda self-admittedly streamlined the story....
Marine content is the most likely to get axed out of all the content for the various factions objectively since they are not even at the top of the government.
Not needed for the story and Oda can just hand wave Fuji as a good guy.
And Oda clearly retconned Greenbull's character from his intro. He can just have him lose offscreen to someone like Fuji who cares.
It wouldn't be good, but it is what it is.

From the moment he was okay ruining GB reputation to promote a fucking shite film shouldve made clear he doesn't care about admirals, more nerfing in marijoa and then now Kizaru being put down with a single punch. Akainu is the only one left but even him might get nerfed for the rest of gorosei/imu to take center stage.
I kind of expected it all along because the Admirals’ abilities aren’t really easy to handle. They’re op as hell and need to be nerfed by default just by their very nature.
It’s hard to write a realistic battle with abilities that are so versatile.
The clones are a simple example. Imagine actual autonomous clones that can attack from all directions rather than conveniently lining up to be taken out.
You really can’t have them go full output or any location turns into Punk Hazard. You have things like Greenbull transforming all of Udon…an area dozens of times larger than Onigashima where 30,000 people were supposed to be fighting.
So yeah, the abilities have to be restricted for the sake of the story. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Luffy vs Kizaru was meh because Luffy was factually not even Kizaru focus, add that to the fact Kizaru was told by Saturn to not damage Egghead assets. ( Which is why Luffy's performance extremely pathetic btw)
Now that Egghead is going to get destroyed anyway all we can do is hope for a second round, with Luffy being the target to eliminate this time.

Coz oda is sentimental so he wants Luffy to be the first of everything. But Zoro is the strongest so he should be the standard but Luffy has to beat them first. So in order for Luffy to be able to beat them, they have to be nerfed. That's why kizaru and kaido don't have awakening. They will only go all out once they face Zoro.
