King vs Katakuri dies even more as a debate with each passing chapter. King now has:
-CoC
-Undefeatable hype
-A bounty gap larger than Cracker-Katakuri
-Flat out better feats in every department outside of CoO
-Defense so strong that he can tank attacks far stronger than ones that cut Kaido's scales, meanwhile Katakuri gets heavily damaged from attacks that don't do shit to aforementioned scales after billion hits
-Hasn't even gone Hybrid yet.
I'm still someone who doesn't call King anything above High High Tier. However, if he starts using CoC coating, then by Kaido's own admission he'll be a low top tier- or borderline. Same as Ben.
