Coming from a dude who thinks Oden isn't top tier
Well, I still think he isn't comparable to the admirals as well as today's Yonko overall. He does have comparable AP to them though, just like Zoro who surpasses Luffy in AP despite the latter being much stronger overall.
I've never assigned a set level for Yamato. I only ever said whatever she did before chapter 1025 can also be replicated by the top Yonko commanders. I always said she's stronger than Katakuri though.
Despite everything saying otherwise
Yeah right
Nothing is set in stone. Most people said Doffy is close to the top-tiers and G4 top-tier level at the time of Dressross. Most people were convinced Katakuri would beat the likes of Rayleigh during WCI. I opposed them both times; I wasn't sure if I was right but I do know I wasn't wrong. I am doing the same now; not to say I am going to be right. It's just that you shouldn't be so confident just because you have more support now.
First : she can't hurt kaido
Now : it doesn't mean much
an Admiral couldn't Tank more than 2 hits from a dying Yonko
But
Yamato can't be Admiral after tanking lots of blows and matching TB from the WSC
Yeah right
Nope, never said she can't damage Kaido. I am also not saying her hurting Kaido doesn't mean much. You're spot on with the bolded part though, she can't be admiral level for hitting Kaido twice or thrice and doing nothing significant. She can't be admiral level for withstanding Kaido's no-named attacks either. She has crazy endurance for sure, but remember she needed a strong defense against an attack that Law no selled, with 0 defense, not so long ago.
Also, Yamato did not match Kaido's TB, they hit each other at the same time. That's not matching as their weapons mustn't have collided if their attacks hit their bodies. You are said to have matched your opponent when you clash equally with your opponent like this:
bruh what is she? defensive ability great, AP great. How many fighters can survive continuous kanabo attack from kaido in this verse?
