No wonder he got a higher bounty than Sanji.
Fight just started I don’t get why these admiral bros are getting this desperate already. Kizaru will deal with acoc moves eventually in this fight. Why get so hung up on this clash
On god. This clash is less relevant than admiral bros think. Even if I'm the first one to bring that it's CoA, I have said multiple times that this doesn't downplay Kizaru at all.
For the reason that Oda has always been vague and inconsistent when it comes to haki...
Your attempt to brush off the odd dozen+ times where mere CoA looks exactly like what Luffy hit Kizaru with simply because "they didn't happen in the last 200 chapters" is retarded, you're arbitrarily disqualifying things that go against your opinion lol.
That's literally what I told him but he didn't listen. He thinks he can arbitrarily disqualify the panels that don't suit his opinion. That's not how this works.
The dialogue and everything makes it very obvious Kizaru is going to lose so now people have to cope and hope the fight doesn't make Kizaru look significantly weaker than Luffy.
Everything in that panel screams CoA and nothing in that panel potentially suggests it's aCoC. I really can't comprehend how some fans can be so biased. Like I get the "it's not 100% clear" but it's 95% clear it's CoA.
Why do people care so much about such insignificant thing? Who cares if Luffy used CoA or CoC, it’s only natural that an admiral such as Kizaru who got revealed to have great defensive skills blocked a base no named Kick by Luffy? How would you guys react if/when he blocks G4 & G5 attacks and be decently/completely fine!!
I honestly blame both admiral’s fans as well as Luffy fans for making a big deal out of this when it’s the norm in a fight between top tiers where neither side would get overwhelmed easily.
I couldn't care less about this clash. What I hate is having to face a fandom that believes it's aCoC when it is in fact CoA. That's what I care about.
This is true tbh.You should have seen when they concluded that Kaido worked for the WG because greenbull said he wouldnt invade Wano if Kaido was there
Admiral doesn't want to face Kaido.
Admiral scared by Shanks.
Then, they'll tell you that admirals = yonko.
They find it normal that an admiral doesn't face Kaido or Shanks but when it comes to Luffy, it's always downplaying time.
Double standards.
One more reason why Luffy has to take down Kizaru.
Usual suspects can't hep but deflect, so I'm going to make things clear with a few facts
- Luffy used aCoc
- Oda doesn't care about your made-up headcanons about what admirals can do and cannot do
- There's zero proof than the geriatric zoan is stronger than Kizaru or will even fight this arc.
- This isn't a "show of superiority against an old enemy" fight, that was Lucci's role idiots.
- Only thing needed to show that things changed from Sabaody is the crew still being together by the end of the arc.
- The chances that Luffy loses this round against Kizaru are significantly higher than Kizaru losing low/mid diff
1. Luffy used CoA and this changes nothing to Kizaru's portrayal.
2. Oda doesn't care about your made-up headcanons about what admirals can do and cannot do.
3. This panel is a simple clash between Luffy and Kizaru, the first clash after the timeskip. It being CoA is the most rational thing (besides all the evidence that I already brought up multiple times).
4. This is clearly a "show of superiority against an old enemy". Also, you are still unable to make an argument without insulting people and being rude. Luffy faced Kizaru in Sabaody and now he is facing him again. He clashed him with CoA and told him they now were 100x stronger. This fight is about Luffy's yonko status so people like Lucci, and also certain fans, start acknowledging Luffy for the yonko that he is, for the yonko who took down Kaido. This goes even deeper and it is clearly indicated by the narrative.
-> By defeating Kizaru, Luffy is going to be portrayed as a yonko like Shanks and Blackbeard. Shanks took down Kid, Blackbeard took down Law, Luffy is taking down Kizaru, Cross Guild will also take down a strong opponent.
-> By defeating Kizaru, Luffy is going to be portrayed as the only one of the "monster trio" (Luffy, Law and Kid) to have succeeded.
If you still believe that Luffy doesn't have to defeat Kizaru, then there is nothing I can do.
5. No, that's not the only thing needed to show that things changed. You ignore the whole plot of this fight: the Egghead incident that will shock the entire world, triggered by Luffy coming to Egghead. Luffy simply "capturing" Vegapunk is not a shocking event, even Saturn approves the title of the article that is already
in the news. So what is shocking? I'll let you think for a second.
6. The chances that Luffy wins against Kizaru are significantly higher than Luffy losing, whatever the diff of the fight.
