Current Events When is Luffy going to be impressive?

#41
Are we really arguing over who has been more impressive? It doesn't matter really who had a better portrayal up to this point in the arc, considering nobody in Wano (or possibly in all of OP) is capable of beating Kaido in a 1v1 match, so it really doesn't matter if Zoro/Luffy/Yamato has done the most damage so far.

Anyway, I think Luffy has done quite well up to this point in the arc, considering that he can now harm Kaido with ACoA and CoC, which means he has the means to harm anyone else in OP. The arc isn't even over yet anyway so let's not jump to conclusions, but rather respect each character for what they have contributed so far in the fight against the Beasts Pirates.
Mihawk beats Kaido

That's where I disagree.
Based on match up alone, the odds should favor Mihawk despite Kaidos title.
Kaido hasn't done very well against Zoro and Oden but both are bugs compared to Mihawk.
Kaidos fighting style is gonna do him no good against Mihawk
Portrayal wise, it would seem swords are Kaidos weakness. However, Kaido is a bit of a damage sponge, so even Mihawk, who currently holds the title as 'Strongest Swordsman' may have difficulty delivering damage capable of completely defeating Kaido.

I also don't think that Kaido's fighting style would necessarily hinder him in a fight against Mihawk. While we have not seen much of Mihawks full capabilities, I think it would be safe to assume that attack like Thunder Bagua could cause serious damage for Mihawk.

Ultimately, the fight would come down to whether Mihawk would be able to dish out enough damage to incapacitate Kaido before Kaido can fully retaliate as otherwise, Mihawk is going to have a bad day.

Luffy looked underwhelming because he needed a mid battle power up to catch up to the the other 4 sn and yamato, even though he has many tools that they don't, like mastery of haki flow, immunity to lightening, bs high fire resistance, plote armor, haki blooms, and unbreakable bones which means he only has to deal with pain and fatigue.
Oda wrote himself into a corner with that decision because when the other characters get their respective power ups they will once again reclaim their place as stronger than luffy. Or oda won't give them power ups but instead he will give luffy more power ups, and that will make him look like a fraud.

No matter what luffy does he won't be impressive, he is not relatable, his struggles are fake, and his wins are mostly PIS.

Excellent question. I don't know, when the raid started I thought he was top 1 on the alliance side, then Oda had him being one shoted by Apoo like a fucking fodder.
I was salty for a few months after that, then chapter 1000 came and I thought "damn that's my boy" but then Oda made him ridiculous again with G4 being less impressive than off guard casual G3 Luffy lol. So he fought 5 minutes and went to bed with Zoro taking care of him. Finally came chapter 1010 and I thought like the idiot I am "that's it, that's where Oda wanted to go with Luffy", but we know how that ended :josad:
And now G4 Snakeman coated with CoC is less impressive than base CoC coated attack, WTF is Oda doing with Luffy?

Yamato was more impressive, so will Momo most likely.
And people think Oda is given too much thing to Luffy :suresure:
He trains, gets power ups but still can't do shit.
Painful moments for a Luffy fan.
Worst arc for Luffy
Thank you. These are my thoughts this arc. Especially last part.

Even my Luffy bro @Shisui_038 has given up on him and turned to Sideboobs

@Hades Thoughts on Luffy this arc/raid?

Why cant you understand that giving a scar is not the only measure of damage, in recent vivra card kaido said he is excited to fight luffy the most since oden, kaido was defeated multiple times but wasn't getting scarred, so i guess all these people who defeated him are weaker then zoro, you guys are low effort trollers

Luffy:
The only one who's potential was recognised and compare to Great Ones
Had Kaido out cold for 30 seconds or 2 minutes with Kong Gatling
Had Kaido on the floor many times
Excited Kaido and lasted about 30 min 1v1

Fanboys think zoro did better coz he left a scar which Kaido didn't bother hyping

Luffy is the most impressive from his generation..
The youngest yet the strongest with advanced haki in every type.
Outperform all the supernova, kaido is the strongest and that is all.
He take hits from the retainers,the strongest SN, Ashura and adv CoC attacks from luffy and yamato and he is ok....
Luffy not looking as impressive as this dude it's fine in my book...

so it is a "plot armor" and "zenkai boosts" for others as despite they don't have "immunity" to lightening, then can have no damage and even though they don't have so called all the Luffy had...it is not that Luffy getting powerups are fraud....on contrary that makes things Luffy struggle more realistic while others becoming strong without anything because "plot" made them strong accordingly.....his struggles are fake because that is what you want to believe and be biased, as simple as that.....Oda made him struggle even after powerups which makes more realistic than not having troubles and one shot after powerups and stuff

Luffy is just stealing valuable character building from zoro and sanji.
Oda ignoring established story elements for the sake of "god luffy" plotline.

-In WCI: he learned future sight instead of sanji who is a CoO specialist.
-In wano: he learned advanced armament instead of zoro who is a CoA specialist.

And what did zoro and sanji get: a lame suit and a magic sword.

Even with all of that luffy was still bellow zoro untill he discovered advanced CoC.

Luffy: My CoO is weaker than Sanji.
You: Luffy stole CoA and CoO from Sanji and Zoro.
You: Luffy is weaker than Zoro.
Also you: God Luffy plot line
Also you: Luffy below Yamato, SN, F6.
'God' Luffy should be given godly treatment and yet he is below Zoro or any other SN, Yammato according to you. Irony died infinite times.
