Here a thread about Katakuri.
We have the 3 Yonko crews we have seen for now :
WBP, BMP and BP
Each had a top commander with Marco King and Kata. All of them were the clear strongest outside of the captain.
Yet Marco and King didn’t have what needed to take the lead or to replace one day the captain or to go higher than their rank.
Those special members inside WBP and BP crew were Ace and Yamato. Both with enough potential to reach far higher than high tier status.
What is Kata place in all of this ? Is he a Marco/King or more of a Ace/Yamato ?
Kata is a special case : during BM rule he was indeed « only » a Marco/King type of member. A leader, the strongest, the guy people looked up to but nothing above that. BM never considered Kata as someone who will replace her or someone of higher rank. She had no expectations for him.
Even strength wise and power wise, Kata was around King/Marco and also has a gimmick FS (Lunarian and regen for the other two)
BUT :
Kata is not only that. He has a special thing and even two :
- he has CoC : yeah as opposed to Marco/King, Kata has CoC. It is definitely a special trait and something that tells us he has potential. Unreached for now, but still potential, potential to go higher than what he was.
And it’s no surprise that Ace and Yamato were the only ones in their crew with CoC outside their captains.
And in the BMP there were no special cases like Ace Yamato, the only one is Kata.
- his captain is no more : Kata captain is « dead ». BM is gone or at least not a threat / capable anymore. Kata is the one there to take the lead. His bros and sis can discuss about it but it’s no mistake that in the future Kata will lead the BMP and reach the captain status or even less formal of the leader status.
For me Kata was in a journey from Marco/Kata to Ace/Yamato and it’s his fight with Luffy that freed him from his shackles and allowed him to tap in his real potential. I think the man will def be stronger next time we will see him.
So for me Kata is both a Marco/King and a Ace/Yamato.
What do you think about that ? How do you view Kata place ?
