Controversial Whose a weak character that you think should be strong/stronger

[Yoho]

Ello WG Yoho here again to ask yet another question

Who is a generally weak character that you believe should be a lot stronger than they are?

My answer for this Question is Tashigi

For one it seems like every competent female fighter are pirates, the world government nor the revolutionary army have a single high tier let alone top tier female fighter, yes there's gion the admiral candidate but she didnt make the cut for a reason and she's barely in the story out side of one or two cameo appearances

But Oda could of made Tashigi an actual rival to Zoro and played more into the fact she looks exactly like Kuina. It was just hey you look like someone I once knew and then it was never mentioned again

But Tashigi's dream is to collect all the named blades.

The named Blades arent being welded by fodder or your run of the mill every day pirates most of them are being welded by some of the most powerful characters in the verse.

Tashigi's strength should progress in a way that shows shes striving toward that goal and that dream, rather than just being Smokers tag along side kick

She should of been out training and fighting collecting named blades with each named blade she collects she just gets that much stronger

I believe the gap between Tashigi and Zoro shouldn't be as big as it is

If Zoro is considered a Low Top tier then Tashigi should be a high tier at the very least

Imagine EOS Tashigi actually being strong enough to challenge Mihawk to his sword?

There isn't a better answer than Tashigi.

But my second pick would be Helmeppo. He's 4 years older than Koby, and they started training together at the same time. However, he's currently two Marine ranks below Koby, and by feats, he's nowhere close. Koby even has an epithet, as he's well known after the Rocky Port Incident. Now with Grus introduced, Koby has a peer that will compete with him as a rival. It looks like he joined around the same time as Koby and Helmeppo did, but he has already reached Rear Admiral. Helmeppo is third-wheeling at this point.

Yeah I agree Helmeppo should at least be relative to Koby tho him being weak but still trying his best is what makes him so endearing

Who's who. I expected him to give extreme diff to jimbei. Instead he turned out to be fraud.

 

[HellBlazer04]

There's some characters I can think of that should've been stronger but Oda did a poor job with them

Tashigi
Helmeppo
Zoro
Sanji
Ussop
Smoker
Daz Bones
Mr.3

 

[thedarkdragon11]

Robin
Franky
Brook
Helmeppo
Tashigi
Hina
Other Vice Admirals and Yonko crews main guys after YC3

Who's who. I expected him to give extreme diff to jimbei. Instead he turned out to be fraud.

While I agree that it was a weak showing, I think it was purposely portrayed as such in order to showcase that Jinbe is not on the same tier as pirates lower than YC3-tier...

 

[Bad English]

Mihawk.

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Like others said, Tashigi is an easy answer. It would’ve been nice to see her come back relatively strong in Punk Hazard and keep up with the manga strength wise.

 

[Bad English]

Orochi

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

X Drake is powerful as is but I’ll add him to this as well. I think he should’ve been much stronger, considering he’s got good odds of being a future admiral.

Maybe in Wano he couldn’t defeat Queen but I think he should’ve been competitive with top commanders, pushing them to high diff.

 

[Zoinks52]

Tsuru.

I don't need her to be as strong as Garp or Sen but she should be capable of keeping up with them and other top tiers, especially in her prime. Since she's part of the trio.

Also her fruit is...too haxxy. It's pretty broken in that it can freeze and brainwash opponents. Like it's so busted in principle that it can't really work in a story most of the time IMO.

It's not even that imaginative compared to other fruits. It feels like an ill thought out subversion like "You think an old granny who washes clothes isn't a badass? Well, look at this!".

Personally I'd find it interesting if Oda gave her a cleaning addiction/OCD as a personality quirk instead, and let her be a swordswoman/gunwoman(maybe with a DF weapon) to balance out Garp (hakiman) and Sengoku (DF user).

Maybe she could inspire Tashigi/Hibari in the process too.

 

[Blazing Lion]

Kyros

 

[SakazOuki]

Hmm maybe Kaido

 

[ako]

Akainu

 

[JDragon20]

Denjiro. Bro had twenty years of face changing rage all for nothing.

 

[Mathias]

Zeff should have been strong but some nobody put his feet on his head or something.

Koza should have been involved in the battles like Wiper was.

 

[Kizaruber Eats]

Who's who. I expected him to give extreme diff to jimbei. Instead he turned out to be fraud.

A waste of such a great DF too. Lucci is laughing at him especially 1 arc later only.

 

[Bisoromi Bear]

Zeff should have been strong but some nobody put his feet on his head or something.

Koza should have been involved in the battles like Wiper was.

The reason is the story's long run time. Like how Oda admitted he should've introduced Crocodile later in the story. When those chapters were written neither advanced haki concepts nor all those lightning effects were in Oda's mind.
And Koza was just proto Sabo tbh

 

[worstfan00]

Oven's DF is overpowered imo

 

[Djordje]

Smoker - he had major relevance in part 1 he should remained powerful enough to be pain in ass for strawhats

Tashigi - same as Smoker ,she should be rival to Zoro

Kaido - not that he is weak but for having WSC title he should be a lot stronger not about to lose to someone like Oden or fight 3 days without winning with old and fat Big Mom. His defeat should have been like 1 vs 5 ( at least ) until the very end with teamwork not Luffy winning final round legit in 1 vs 1.

Momonosuke - remained a weakling until the end , should had more important role and relevance in Kaido downfall.
