Yeah I don't like Katakuri. Hate is too strong of a word tho, I don't hate any character lol.
Ever since the moment I read WCI I've never been a fan. I consider WCI to be one of the worst arcs, and Katakuri who spearheads it is also one of the worst characters for me. I don't find anything appealing or interesting on him. Legit nothing lol. He's contradictory. Supposedly wants to protect his family yet knocks out his younger sister and leaves her in the mirror world that came crashing during his fight with Luffy. Let's Luffy walk away, which would mean he'd have to engage other siblings of his to escape thus putting his other siblings in danger. Luffy is also the reason Big Mom went nuts on the island which threatened literally everyone, including her family, which is the reason that guy I forgot his name even died(?) after Linlin removed his lifespan. Katakuri is fine with Luffy taking out Linlin, which would put his family in even worse danger cuz who would protect them then lol? Katakuri? Against entire rampaging Yonko and their crews? Yeah no. Katakuri knows how strong and dangerous Luffy can be
but still chooses to play around and toy with him. And him abiding by some honour code is also frivolous when it was Luffy that broke that first. Katakuri needn't have stabbed himself to even the play field, when it was Luffy that 'cheated' first by running away and taking and attacking Katakuri's sister. That's basically the gist of it.
I typically don't let the amount of the retardness of a character's fanbase affect my enjoyment and liking of a character. If I did, I would never have been a Shanks fan in OP, he's in my top 3, or a Sukuna fan in JJK lol, he's my top 2. Do I troll Kat's fans at times? Absolutely. However, I don't downplay Katakuri. On more occasions than I can remember I've defended him in battle threads.
