Character Discussion Thoughts on Killingham so Far?

Kiringham is a weird one.
Overall he's my favorite Holy Knight & always been my preferred matchup for Sanji outta the trio.
Personality-wise, in his top kirin/bottom human form, he had a goofy design but he seemed the most level headed of the holy knight trio which I personally really liked but then in his emo top human/bottom Kirin form he seems to have become a lot more erratic & cocky even, which I wasn’t really a fan of at first but he’s got a bit of goofiness and a cute personality so isn’t as bad as the first impression. Whether Oda suddenly decided to change his personality on a dime or he's got different personalities depending on his form remains to be seen but he's pretty interesting.
Ability-wise his ability is the most frightening of the bunch & easily one of the most hax fruits shown in the series so far and it was mostly due to him that Elbaf got clapped as much as it did. He's prolly the only one of the trio that can actually dominate Elbaf by his lonesome without the help of his immortality (the others would get clapped), which just goes to show how powerful his ability is.
He's also a mythical zoan that can fly so on top of his hax and holy knight buffs he's also got mythical zoan tax as well
. So he's a very appealing character from an ability perspective which is why Zoro and Sanji fans alike wanted him as an opponent for their fav.
So yh, putting the fact the he and Sommers were weak-sauce relative to the stronger chatacters on Elbaf (M3 and up) prior to their omen buffs, with his omen buff and Longinus, I'm actually pretty excited for his matchup against Sanji. He's physicals are pretty insane atm with his Omen buff on top of all of the hax he has. Now he has Longinus which from the lore alone is looking like it's gonna pretty hax as well. Plus Sanji fans have wanted Sanji to have an aerial battle for the longest as well and he also checks that box.
Sanji v Kiringham has the potential to be Sanji's best fight in the series.

I like him but he's not as memorable as Sommers currently. Sommers is a more typical villain, audaciously cruel and overindulgent but it leaves an impact. Killingham has a nice design and a cool contrast between his full zoan and usual look but his attitude just seems like a regular Celestial Dragon (I suppose slightly less ridiculous compared to Sommers but still openly classist and racist/speciesist). I'm hoping his battle with Sanji does more for him. I still like him though.
As for what he means for Sanji, I'm loving it. Nice design and abilities and if he utilizes everything to the max, other nightmares, Spear of Longinus, haki, this'll be perfect for Sanji at this stage.
