Chapter Discussion Monkey D. Luffy count your fucking days!

Oda hyped Kizarus defense and I believed it after how well he handled Gear 4 Snakeman. However, proceeds to get knocked the fuck out after one ACoC attack from gear 5 Luffy.
I think that Oda hyped his guard. It wasn't really tested because he was running away from Luffy.
But yeah, his durability is dogshit.

It's just a loud minority which usually happens to be forum posters. Most OP fans love gear 5 considering how often I get posts of it shoved down my throat on social media.
I dislike it. A lot. Its ridiculous and a terrible idea.

It's very comparable to Gotenks from DBZ. If you haven't read or watched DBZ Gotenks is Goku and Vegetas 7 year old sons fused together. Incredibly strong, incredibly silly.

Akira Toriyama, the author and Odas childhood idol, tried many of the same ideas Oda is implementing now. Difference is Toriyama did it with characters that were supposed to be 7 year old and immature. Kind of like if Momonosuke and Tama fused, got strong and came up with stupid Looney toons attack.

When Toriyama saw fans had enough he quickly wrote Gotenks out of the series. Oda is stuck with Gear 5 and Looney Toons due to Luffy being main character. I would have accepted it if it was something arc specific like Afro Luffy, Water Luffy of Nightmare Luffy. Here's to hoping Oda realizes, makes G5 normal and keeps Looney Toons only as a rarely seen side effect.

I’m still a Luffy fan that will never change but this fight was ridiculous. I have never seen a fight this stupid. I’ll give you my issues with the fight one by one:

1. Oda hyped Kizarus defense and I believed it after how well he handled Gear 4 Snakeman. However, proceeds to get knocked the fuck out after one ACoC attack from gear 5 Luffy.

2. Luffy why weren’t you using ACoC from the beginning? Did you actually need gear 5? Even if you did why wouldn’t you use ACoC immediately in Gear 5 like with Kaido? This doesn’t make any sense, Luffys goal is to escape while Kizarus is to kill Vegapunk. So instead of knocking Kizaru out because you could clearly do it whenever you wanted to you wait until you’re exhausted and can’t protect Vegapunk without restarting your heart? That’s the dumbest shit ever.

3. Why would you go giant mode grab Kizaru and throw him? That’s so fucking dumb. Imaging Mihawk throwing Yoru at Zoro during their fight?

It seems like Luffy is clearly stronger than Kizaru after this first round which I don’t like. Kizaru should organically push Luffy to high diff at the bare minimum Luffy shouldn’t be down from exhaustion and be able to knock Kizaru out on the way down with one semi serious attack. That’s disrespectful to the admirals. Kizaru can’t move after one hit? Yonko > Admiral still stands but this fight was horrible.

That throw by Luffy was so dumb :lusalty:
I keep telling that this is the usual stall piece nonsense that plague this entire arc.

Kizaru probably has awakening that he didn't use as well.

ALL of the fights in egghead have been complete dogshit.
And also, there isn't a way to distinguish advanced Conqueror's from basic and advanced armament yet in the series, so Loda can bullshit in the fight and keep things ambiguous, utterly ridiculous

Instead of getting a few pages of a high-speed battle showing off how fast each fighter is like Luffy vs. Katakuri or now-debunked claims like fighting Kizaru requires advanced CoO, we get this stupid page of standstill fighting and contrived “blocking.”

Probably the most anticlimatic battle I ever had the displeasure to read after months of hype, even Luffy vs. Ulti was more dynamic than this shit.

Kizaru is not Luffy's final fight.
Let's be honest Oda cornered himself with Kaido realistically it is incoherent for Luffy to go full power against Kizaru.
So either he should have wait with G5 and made Kaido less stronger + Unlimited G4 or He goes incoherent and make Kizaru stronger than Kaido
