Character Discussion Thoughts on Killingham so Far?

[pg13]

Cough…. Cough….

 

[Jeanstealer]

Character writing-wise he's seriously crap.
Design-wise he's tolerable I guess, nothing to write home about.
Ability-wise he's admittedly pretty cool.

5/10

Why tf would Sanji get a bounty above Blackbeard/Loki and the same as 2 Yonko and Admirals for beating KILLINGHAM?

Because he's tough bro

 

[Sparda]

Same as Sommer and Garling, basically meh

 

[Blazing Lion]

His ragebaiting is good

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

He's got a pretty good design and a cool fruit. Could be a good villain but as for now he hasn't done enough for me to give a concrete opinion on him

fucking hell oda..

I guess few people see that the Knights are not copies of each others. Sommers and Killingham, for example, have very different characterizations.

That said, I like Killingham.
His design in human/Hydrid form is very cool but I don't love the Zoan one.
The ability is cool too and he uses it pretty well.
Character wise I like the way Oda is handling him and his role.
There's the perfect set to create a very choreographical final battle with Sanji once he unclocks CoC.

He's the best Sanji opponent ever. He's clearly the Sanji who accepted Germa, in personality. To spite him and reach the mindset of a king, Sanji has already brought his racism and insecurities with Jinbe full circle.

Physically, it's eyelashes vs eyebrows. Everyone deemed the evil mirror a Black haired Sanji, and look at this guy's hairstyle lol. Killingham has a fruit and magic designed to resemble Sanji's mutant healing factor, and even exceed it. Sanji wanted a DF that he thought would make his dreams come true, Killingham are a fruit to make dreams come true. The spear of Imu and Rimoshifu vs the spear of Nika and Zeff; they both share the spear of Vinsmoke, Killingham tangentially while Sanji genetically.

Power wise, he's clearly a bigger threat than Queen. You technically can't beat him unless you're a conqueror, but being a conqueror isn't even a guaranteed victory. With his healing factor, you might have to put him down permanently to get anywhere (we haven't seen them knocked out). Even then, Zaza provides tremendous leverage so he doesn't need to fight clean. Like Sanji, his cleverness means that he doesn't have to rely on sheer combat prowess. And while a lot of people are thinking Imu is on borrowed time, the opposite is also true: if they can't hold Imu long enough then he'll swoop in to save his knights like he did in the first place.

A victory over Killingham should be a 2.7-3.3 billion bounty.

I agree on everything!
Except for the bounty, I think 3B is a bit to much since I expect Killingham (and Sommers) to be some of the "weakest" Knights. Or at most "average" in those ranks.

Ultimately even if there was no bounty increase at all, I wouldn't actually care. But again bounty increases aren't based on a math of proportions to "power level." If I had to justify any increase it'd be based on the fact that vanquishing an HK has been inconceivable for the bulk of history and it'd probably be in tandem with the defeat of Imu, an unspeakable level of chaos for the government

Trash character like all god knights. They are strong because of imu boosters and immortality. 0% battle skills and power to fighting. But they are good to training the weakling strawhats.

 

[Krusher1357]

Shit character and probably gonna have 0 character arc... base/hybrid design is too edgy for me (fishmen designs are meh at best and his is probably one of the better ones imo) but I love the full zoan. His abilities are great amd moderately unique, dreampulling kinda hits like a foil to haki manifestation and I fw that

Longinus having lightning attacks does tickle my fancy.

Rain and lightning plus deep character conflict within Sanji's self is pushing me to enjoy his panel time more though. I just don't think he is an enjoyable entity on his own

 

[Sanjiwillbeaking]

Both him and Sommers are bums lol.
Zoro and Sanji would have beaten them now if it wasnt for Conquerors Haki.

In terms of writing: Gunko > Shamrock > Garling > Mattie > Killingham >>>>>>>> Fodders

Killingham's awful color scheme ruins him quite a bit
