Nope, Kizaru didnt fight Aokiji for 10 days and ended up barely winning.
Kizaru didnt look as bad as other two against WB, he treated him like a nuisance not worth looking at.
See. You're cherrypicking situational feats while ignoring the context to make a point that was never one to begin with. Firstly, you are wrong about the Admirals especially the C3 not being equals. They are just by rank which is their portrayal. Even if we revisit the WB encounters Kuzan has dodged WB effortlessly and then the latter needed to get saved by Jozu. Please don't behave like a Yanker.
Precisely, Kuzan aint a speedster and since he can tango with Akainu for 10 days means Akainu aint a speedster either.
Kizaru is a speedster and if Garp can blitz those two, put 2 and 2 together and realize that Kizaru is blitzing Akainu/Kuzan in his sleep.
Based on which interaction and or feat can Kizaru blitz Garp? That's what your entire argument is based on. You have no proof for your claims. Sentomaru managed to react to Kizaru and Garp will surely be able to do so. Again. Cherry picking.
Kizaru's AP is ridiculously good, just because he is resorting to kicks alone vs a guy who always gets plot armor, doesnt mean his AP is bad, lol. Far from it. Kizaru didnt manage to wound Luffy with a blunt damage kick? Oh, what a shock! He should try Jewels and Sword instead.
Great. So we agree his AP is bad, did you just use plot as an excuse ? Nah that ain't working here. Kizaru had kilometres off distance and even used acceleration to increase his AP yet wasn't able to damage Luffy at all. In comparison to Kuzan and by extension Sakazuki, Kizaru's AP rn is hilariously bad.
Oh, what a shock! He should try Jewels and Sword instead.
Slashing attacks do not make up for his lack of AP.
Neither of the Admirals is built to tank attacks. They arent Kaido to match him in his main selling point or to come anywhere close.
Nobody said they are Kaido, this comparison doesn't make sense. Yet Kizaru has not proven that he can take any significant attack aCoC coated and walk off from it. Kuzan did. Akainu did.
The discussion is only pointless when you cant see stats clearly in Akainu's favor because you know, no matter what stat you choose, Kizaru is ahead.
No. The discussion is pointless because the narrative always has and will walk over feats and headcanon. I was there in Wano. I have seen how the realisation of Luffy's superior narrative importance has effected you and actually doubt everything you've believed in in regards to Zoro before that. This is the very same case just for the Admirals.
Nik, look at the characters narrative standing and importance and you will realise that all of these scenarios you create cherry picking feats don't mean much in the grand scheme when Fighter A completely outclassed Fighter B in narrative importance especially when there is a hierarchy ranking between those characters.
you think narrative favors Akainu over Kizaru, get ready for narrative to favor 5 Elders, Imu, Holy Knights and Kong above Akainu as well. Narrative praise is a double-edged sword.
It isn't. Their narrative importance has got nothing to do with Kizaru because they outrank even more since Akainu outranks Kizaru in narrative importance.
should have been clear back then, when Pirate King wasnt stronger than the guy who isnt interested in being Pirate King that Fleet Admrial aint stronger than the guy who aint interested in being Fleet Admiral either.
Completely different and you know it. Oda has gone the extra mile to make a point why WB was an exception.
didnt confuse anything. You thought attacks were landing, they didnt.
We dont know how light blocking works. It obviously completely renders Snakeman's firepower useless.
Who says it cannot render aCoC buffed hits useless too?
Did attacks connected on Kizaru's Light Guard and he was there stationary when they landed. Increased AP was the answer there and Luffy didn't use it. This wasn't a speed issue. How can you tell me that I didn't understand how it works then admit yourself that you don't know how the Light guard works ?
