Speculations Why did luffy wait to use advcoc until his g5 ran out of time?

[Tai long]

Oda could have made luffy use advcoc and make kizaru give a good fight then luffy lands a special move and ko kizaru while fluffy is also immobilized due to the time limit, yet oda made fluffy fight without advcoc and he made fluffy use it only once.

Plot

 

[Hako Sama]

The plot requires Luffy to be down to hype Saturn and create a tension/cliffhanger for the ancient robot to finally save the day.

 

[ZenZu]

Luffy didn't land anything before that on panel atleast. So what good would it have done?

Kizaru getting hit by a big attack needed to happen for the stalemate. Oda wants them to be seen as relative to each other.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Because there was no focus on the fight and what little we got showed Luffy couldn’t even hit Kizaru most the time so why waste the haki?

Plot

Really bad plot.

 

[Necrohol]

PIS PIS no mi.

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Oda.

 

[Thunderbolt]

He focused all his remaining strength into that strike as he was reaching his limits. He never needed it to win but Kizaru kept running

 

[Monkey D Theories]

He didn’t he kicked kizaru with ACoC the moment he saw him

 

[Nidai_Kitetsu]

Same reason Big Mom forgot to use AdCoC against Kidd or Law. Oda didnt want to shit on Kizaru, he nerfed Luffy down to Kizaru's level.

 

[AMValentine]

Luffy never starts with powerful attacks because his attacks actually damage him as well. If the enemy dodges then he just wasted some of his limited time. Luffy is a volatile fighter that adapts his playstyle to his opponents and wins in the long term. If he busts out strong moves that just end up missing then he increases his chances of losing.

Kizaru is a particularly slippery opponent with unknown devil fruit abilities. To top that off, defeating him was not really the purpose, but delaying him and pushing him away from his team without them taking damage. With that in mind, the best way to go about things is testing everything that would allow Luffy to catch up to Kizaru. When all of them did not work, he went all out and was forced to take Kizaru out with all his might in the end. Perhaps in a fight where Kizaru was looking to kill Luffy and time was not against him, Luffy would start an all out attack sooner, but would still test things out first.

Luffy's first kick on Kizaru was AdCoC..

 

[swarna]

It's the opposite of plot.

This is Luffy's actual level.

It's only when he fights the end-of-arc baddie seriously that he gets a massive plot buff to all his stats. His ACoC and G5 stamina against Kaido has proven to be an anomaly after we saw him have issues with multiple fights in egghead.

 

[Adamxero]

To nerf Luffy.

If Luffy used Gear + AdvCoC he's low to mid diffing Kizaru and Oda has to try pretend Luffy is the under dog each arc.

 

[SkySanji]

Plot obviously, Oda wrote himself into a corner when he decided that Luffy with ACoC could one tap Kizaru, so he had to have Luffy magically refrain from using it until he was seconds away from gassing out

Why not just make luffy use advcoc then and make luffy ko kizaru with a special g5 attack instead kizaru was out after one advcoc attack

 

[Durableguy]

Same reason the strawhats let Lucci roam free.

Plot

 

[TEACH D TEACH]

G5 time limit is a stupid plot device. Atleast G4 you can understand since it requires huge amount of haki to even be held. Whats G5 issue? Too much laugh?
