Firstly, you didn't disprove my point, in fact you have given me another point. Sabo craved freedom more than Ace. While Ace craved approval more than freedom. That alone makes Sabo a better character in my opinion. Sabo doesn't care what others think of him, Ace does. It is the same with Luffy. Luffy doesn't care what others think of him either.
It was Sabo who wanted to sail as a free man when he becomes one at 17. Ace just did what what Sabo wanted. Of course, I am not saying Ace didn't want to sail, but Sabo is the one who made the decision. Ace was all talk in regard.
Sabo has never been portrayed as hot-headed. This is the kind of nonsense that those Ace fans and Sabo-haters who never cared for Sabo would say.
My point wasn't to say that Ace craved more freedom than Sabo LOL
You were trying to say that Sabo was a better character than Ace because he searched for freedom no doubt, but when did "search for freedom" became a thing to define well-written characters? See how your arguments makes no sense?
Yes, Ace craved approval more than freedom, and that's exactly where lays the beauty of his character. I've already explained this to you in my first reply.
"Ace just did what Sabo wanted" dude stop with the headcanon... as far as I remember both Sabo and Ace were planning to become pirates and even saving money for buying the ship, no? What decision Sabo made? To tell them they would set sail at 17? Can you tell me the chapter number so that I can see this "decision" of his? And again, in WHAT way does he saying an age for them to set sail make him a better or worse character? C'mon
"Sabo has never been portrayed as hot-headed" are you reading the same manga that I? Chapter 908, go check it out
I'll even repeat my comment for you to read again, it's not that hard to get it:
"In his youth at least, he used to be more calculative, but now he is completely reckless while under pressure, reminiscing a bit of Ace once again. Just look at his reaction while infiltrating the reverie with other revos telling him to calm down, but not wanting to listen and opting for a
"do or die" scenario to save Kuma even though Dragon wasn't even personally involved in the mission yet "
