Character Discussion Luffy doesn’t get the respect that he deserves!

Why is it that people want to see Luffy fail or just hate on him?

People always complain about Luffy getting help in important battles but never even mention the villains getting help. I’ll give a few examples:

1. When Luffy fought Katakuri people complained that he got help from Brûlée and was able to run away and restore his haki. Okay great but why doesn’t anyone talk about the help Katakuri got? Flampe and some other fodder were literally shooting silent needles at Luffy while he was dodging Katakuris attacks which were based on his future movements and dodging the needles. That’s literally the only reason that he got stabbed. Katakuri also was able to restore his haki when Luffy left so I don’t see the big deal.

2. People said Luffy got help from Law and Gatz against Doflamingo as if Trebol and Bellamy weren’t there. If anything that was a 3 v. 2 with Doffy getting more help than Luffy. Gatz helped Luffy run away yet Oda said Luffy could run away on his own. He also said Luffy would have defeated Doffy still without the help. I never understood the complaints. Luffy also showed clear superiority to Doffy in G4 1v1.

3. People complain about Luffy v. Kaido not being 1v1 which I understand but it’s still utterly ridiculous. Kaido fought the scabbards who didn’t do any significant damage. He fought (Luffy, Law, Kidd, Killer and Zoro) but he did have help from Big Mom and the only people who did any significant damage were Luffy and Zoro. After that Yamato probably did a little damage but Luffy made her leave the fight and blue scarf interfered getting Luffy killed. So it’s not like Kaido didn’t have help. Kaidos help actually lead to Luffys death, awakening and Kaido getting his ass whooped. I’ll concede that the other fights might have tired Kaido out though. But I don’t want to hear anything about lifting the island draining his stamina nobody told him to do that and we don’t know if it drains him or not. If it does he should have put the island down.

Moral of the story is people pray on Luffys downfall and I don’t understand it. We know he will always win in the end.
Blame Oda.

it's the amount of plot armor and sudden power ups that gets him hate from the fanbase. Kidd fought against 2 Emperors yet he hasn't received his due Haki boost yet Luffy getting Haki boost in every possible fight he is in.

You didn't see Kidd fighting after 2 emperors. Law is shown fighting BB and is doing well.

Besides, this is bullshit/cope argument. No one who fought yonko fought their way from vet to yc to yonko like Luffy.

They like the more badass archetype characters mostly here that’s why. Luffy is the essence of the entire manga obviously, and even the badass characters themselves often have a silly side or quirk about them.

He’s simply not edgy enough for those folks. If people wanna complain about him getting power ups out of no where, so do the other main cast, so what’s their point?

Outside of WG, he does. It is just the usual powerscaling WG sword stans hating on Luffy cos they somehow think Zoro should be the MC/captain/strongest character. Make Luffy an edgy swordsman like Hawkeye & watch these dudes suck him off :whitepress:
Yeah it’s pretty cringe how obvious it is, almost to the point of trolling in favor of the archetype. But how diehard these people are with their bias it seems mostly genuine. I love this forum aside from that shit
