General & Others Which of these 5 things has the most significant impact for the Admirals?

Bounty scaling is contextual.
King > Queen > Jack in bounty and King's bounty is around Marco's. In that context it's pretty clear what's Oda is trying to convey.
Bountywise the Tobiroppo also seem to match up to their bounty. So do the sweet commanders. Again showing contextual bounty scaling.
Which bring me to my next point. Akainu being one of only three characters with a PK bounty in the entire story is dramatically better portrayal than anything else, because even with the most retarded downplay you have to admit Sakazuki is Yonko level:
It's not about the ceiling, it's about the floor.
There is no rational way even with roundabout excuses or downplay to get Sakazuki below a certain level of power with a bounty THAT high. All of the other stuff is great, but the problem is that it doesn't firmly establish a clear bottom line.
Ryokugyu's black blade isn't even believed by 90% of the community, King of Casuals Morj literally denied in a stream recently lmao

It's pretty consistent with Gennai Aramaki thought, the Ronin Gai character from which Aramaki takes name and actor resemblance.
Gennai Aramaki reveals only at the end to be a genius swordsman.
Aramaki's BB was and always will be my favourite battle. I have spilled my blood on that cause when basically no one had.
However, for now, it is kind of a niche battle. Only real fans think of Black Blades; casuals don't and won't until Zoro Is forging his and Oda hypes them on screen.
Akainu's 5B had way more impact on casuals. Also, It was great to see Oda did exactly what we had predicted with his bounty, a thing that was hinted in various ways.

Lmao, I wish I was there when it happen.
I bet y'all were having a field day lol.

Especially because I had to bear tons of users bascially shouting It wasn't Kizaru for a year straight against all concrete evidence lol.
Durableguy in particular repeated like a mantra that I was "gaslighting" the community lol.
Lol, what he said?
Yeah, I don't see the Black Blade being discussed outside very dedicated palaces like this one. Idk why, after we saw the blade again in chapter 1054 the "error" explanation should have already been put aside.
Then the volume came, in which errors are corrected, and the sword was still the same (and It was already such a big page - the presentation page of a new admiral- and such a big detail that idk how the error was even an option).
Then, recently, OP Wall, VC and colored manga came and in all the sword was black.
I don't know why this Isn't widely discussed if not for the fact that casuals don't care about BBs for now.
About Gannai Aramaki, yes, this Is his plot:
Akainu was never one dimensional ever since Oda drew him gardening, ever since we saw how rough his childhood was, and ever since he spared Kuzan. It was always clear there was far more to his character than being a one dimensional screaming man, the Kizaru moment was just more fuel to that fire.
Kizaru screaming at Akainu was a far bigger moment for Kizaru than it was for Akainu. It was the first and only time we’ve ever seen a passionate Kizaru in the manga.
Aramaki’s black blade was goddamn trench warfare, we were surrounded on all sides and even our fellow Admiral fans abandoned us when Fuckup Animation drew the white toothpick lol. Aramaki’s black blade separated the boys from the men, myself alongside @Kurozumi Wiwi @Dragon777 @RyoQ etc are the strongest Admiral fans for that experience alone lmfao.

Agreed, but it was nice to see it in the story, because a lot of the other stuff was old as well( I think the childhood one was from around FMI), so I think it made me a lot more hype to see Akainus role in the future story and made it more clear for the fans who don't spend much time thinking about the characters
After volume, OP Wall, VC and colored manga, yes.
Anyway, having found It doesn't really make sense. Oda in the final battle against the Marine won't create a plot of a super random samurai having his sword stolen, just so Greenbull has a decorative sword that he doesn't even user properly.
Anyway, Gennai Aramaki's plot is precisely being an "undercover" great samurai.

I also really liked the reveal about Greenbull and Fujitoras past, it is a bit annoying when Oda reveals things outside the story, but he seemed to imply we will see the real thing in the manga since it was kept secretive, and also could be interesting to see a perspective outside of a typical Pirate/Marine one, and I like the drawings of them as kids
Position≠strength
Sakazuki is worth 5 billion because of the position he occupies, and not because of the strength he represents.
In the very panel itself, it is stated that Big Mom could have been an Admiral and even a Fleet Admiral if she had joined the Marines. This proves that the FA position was within her reach, just as it was for Sakazuki.
Now, if Akainu has a theoretical bounty of 5 billion due to his position, the same would apply to Big Mom if she held that rank. This means her bounty in the Marines would be 5 billion, regardless of any other factors.
Marking a bunch of retards doesn't change the fact that Kaidou is stronger than Akainu and his bounty is lower, cry about it.
If Big Mom, at her peak as a pirate, had a bounty of 4.38 billion, then if someone had become FA before her in the Marines and she had taken the position of Admiral, her bounty would have been reduced to around 3 billion solely because of the position. This clearly shows that these bounties do not purely reflect strength but rather a mix of position.
If her bounty as a pirate was higher than it would have been as an Admiral, this proves that bounties tied to Marine ranks are not a reliable indicator for measuring power levels.
