For folks that love power scaling so much, y'all sure think about things so linearly. "A is much stronger than B so A has to crap all over B in every situation irregardless of context"

Not to say Oda is great at power scaling in the first place but it is evident that he priortizes the narrative (what ever plot point he's on and what message he's trying to send at the time) over rigid powerscaling. There's nothing Hajrudin did this chapter that we didn't already know he's capable off. Hell the reason he's even here now in the first place was because he was able to withstand Imu's Omen blast in Imu's intro chapter. Like, Loki Hajrudin is another protagonist in this Elbaf tragedy and Oda is simply giving him his deserved time in the spot light to have him play some part in this battle or are we going to just have Hajrudin sitting on his bum twiddling his thumbs all arc just to satisfy the power scaling scholars
Once Oda checks that box tings will go back to business as usual with Imu slapping errbody around.
Anyways, with the chapter title, haven't read the chapter yet but timing is interesting considering Loki's been protecting Elbaf since Imu touched down on the island. Wonder if it's just a reference point with regards to Hajrudin's 180 on how he sees Loki and him now acknowledging Loki as brother and also an irreplaceable asset as opposed to viewing him as an object of calamity like he did prior.
Or if in addition to that it's build up for us to see even more with Loki character development for Loki going forward this arc will be interesting to see ^^
Also I know Hajrudin is all the rage this chapter and it helps to serve as a sort of distraction tactic for all the Gaban detractors and haters but I ain't forgetting all that smack you bums were going on about prior to this chapter and even in the spoiler thread

. Paper cut indeed
