King vs Katakuri is not close

My next video may take a while but I should drop it before the end of this month.
There is a point I didn't touch upon in my video in regards to Zoro and the Minx ultra-regenerative medicine. I don't think I need to bring it up because there isn't a lot of information on it but it was stated to improve Zoro's regenerative abilities and heals any damage he's taken thus far but will suffer double the damage after it wears off. Zoro was essentially fighting King in a "healed" condition but his bones were either still broken or may have been fixed I'm not sure since they don't talk about his bones after he takes the medicine.

Well, the problem with this matchup is that Oda doesn't exactly look at powerscalling the same way most of us do, the proof of that fact is Crocodille's and Buggy's inconsistent strenght at Impel Down and Marine Ford. One Piece follows a narrative powerscalling concept instead of the usual ones, and seeing as he wrote Big Mom and Kaido as being rivals for decades, alongside being somewhat relative in their crew stenght when we look at the larger picture, i think King and Katakuri would be closer in strenght if we ever do have a fight in between them, most people would call it a "buff", but it would only be that in feats instead of a narrative

[@gurururuwarararara8164]

Fr, I feel like powerscalers constantly neglect the type of story we're discussing. Moriah was a rival of Kaido, Crocodile was a rival of Whitebeard. Both got smacked by a pre-time skip Luffy. King vs Katakuri would be much, much closer than what people seem to think. Doflamingo or Crocodile vs either of them would be hella interesting as well. By general shonen logic, Crocodile should be stomped by King. By one piece battle logic, Crocodile would imo stand a pretty solid chance of defeating King. They weren't warlords for nothing

However, the same man that got beaten by a pre-timeskip, pre-gear, pre-haki Luffy, easily stood up to Doflamingo, a man whom Luffy had to use Gear 4 to defeat.

[@msaag5490]

I mean, it's just a clear case of powercliffing. However, I would like to posit that IF Katakuri returns and he is massively buffed like he has advanced Armament or ever Conquerors and a giga durability buff, don't be surprised. Out of all the enemies Luffy faced, Katakuri probably has one of the highest potential to get stronger, mostly because Luffy helped him realize his true self. If we remember Rayleigh's words, "Have no doubts, that's what makes you strong," then Luffy gave Katakuri the chance to grow into a truly monstrous figure with a mindset not hellbent on a false image of himself, but through self actualization. And before some clowns say "He got no diffed by Kuzan," it's a literal former Admiral. King would also get folded by that man.

This is a good video and I understand why people hold the same views. However I still personally believe king vs katakuri goes either way or in the hands of kat. This mainly due to katakuri arsenal. Yes he is weaker endurance wise than king however that doesn’t mean damage suddenly cannot add up. King isn’t Kaido and I feel like this video over relies on using Kaido to prop up king instead of using king own feats. Katakuri has feats like dodging snakeman which gets faster the more it stretches, putting a giant hole in luffy which I doubt flame off king would survive many hits from that, and can use his mochi to suffocate king. Imo yes in terms of AP and endurance kat got powercliffed however imo other stats he did not. King will need to put his flame off if he wants to touch katakuri cause I see no way else he can even attempt to hit him otherwise.

Ok ok I like this So ima say that at best mat still gets speed blitzed because when Mario got serious(ish) gs G5 he speed blitzed luffy in his lightning attack. When zoro fought kaidos duo attack he had time to react 1 Kaido needs to wait for bigmom to some extent and vice versa 2 zoro basically stands still and blocks loading 20 bones and this should slow him down in kings fight 3 this means zoro was slowed down while fighting king making the speed blitz less impressive(ish) but zoro has never had speed issues in a broken state so I won’t say this is worth giving kat a win con (An example of an injury state for zoro would be mihawks injury on his chest vs the whole of Arline’s men plus hachi There he had no struggle treating them like foder when being outnumbered at least by a 20-1 ratio and then fought hachi another fishman who had twice the attack options and race based strangth)

Fully agree, the powercreep in Wano was quite absurd, personally i felt way too big. Since in retrospective it end up made the entire Big Mom pirates (besides for Big Mom herself) really weak in Yonko's standards, considered that even someone like Ulti, wh isn't a top commander, can be argue to be able to defeat Katakuri. Not to say that all Yonko crew has to be exactly equal, but they should have been more comparable, with even the weakest crew be able to battle with the others.

[@michaeldorsey9231]

Great breakdown. Any chance we could get Jack vs Perospero? Way too many people seem to buy into the “Jack and Peros narratively implied to be equal since Inu and Neko beat them at the same time” argument.

[@El_Eon_]

@@michaeldorsey9231 I think Inu and neko are extremely close in power. It's basically implied that they're equal in almost every way unless I'm missing some information. More so they fought for the exact same amount of time against Jack and always performed about the same. Jack versus peros would most likely just be brute Force versus devil fruit Hax.

[@michaeldorsey9231]

It’s not Neko and Inu being close in power I have issue with, there’s plenty of evidence in story demonstrating that they are functionally equal in strength. My problem with the argument stems from the fact that 1) all 4 characters were in varying states of fatigue/injury buy the time Jack and Peros lost, so even without any contradictory evidence it’s already shaky to argue that Peros is comparable to the other 3, but more importantly 2) when you actually compare feats from a fresh Peros and Jack, it’s not even close. Peros had an off panel fight with Sulong Carrot and Wanda, wherein it took him 10 chapters to beat them and only after they lost their Sulong forms. Jack by comparison could oneshot 6 Sulong Mink on the Rooftop, inspite of already sustaining superficial injuries, and inspite of one of those Minks being a Musketeer Captain (meaning he ranks higher than/is likely stronger than Wanda and Carrot).

Also didn’t consider how fast King truly was in comparison but you explained it well enough for me. Only part I have trouble buying if Killer/Kid > Katakuri, mostly for similar reasons of haki and speed. Killer had a specific attack that was a good matchup for Kaido and Post WCI Luffy did not - that doesn’t mean Rooftop Killer > Post WCI Luffy in my opinion. Kid also didn’t do much of any damage vs Kaido unless we’re really gassing those wrestling moves, so Post WCI Luffy and Kat I have > Kid as well.

Lasting longer stops you from losing faster, but not winning in a fight. And more of the offensive results in the fight with Big Mom came from Law and her constant quotes of disdain for Law’s abilities highlight as much.

It's always the ones that use "It's not close" in their title are the one of the worst at scaling. Here's how many things you got wrong 1- Powercliffing is irrelevant if you're not comparing Katakuri with Kaido, because Kaido the one that powercliffed the verse not everyone, and you saying that everyone before got powercliffed when we see the same Crocodile that was beat by no haki Luffy matching Mihawk and stopping Akainu is just you yapping and repeating what others say without thinking for yourself 2- Katakuri has the perfect win condition, King needs to go in his speed mode to even hit Katakuri and that would make King lose his durability and get hurt, Katakuri was hurting a mythical zoan rubber boy, he would easily damage a regular zoan when his flames are off 3- "King should be fast enough to tag Katakuri" That's not happening when King couldn't land a single hit on basic observation user like Zoro, he's not landing a single hit on Katakuri who's faster and has advanced observation 4- " Katakuri takes massive damage from gear 4" Are you talking about getting hit over and over again and not falling once is a massive damage? Luffy couldn't put him down once.... 5- "Luffy deals the vast majority of the damage" No he didn't, Katakuri did that to himself, Luffy doesn't have any attack that can do as much damage as the spear attack that Katakuri did to himself while Katakuri has 6- "Luffy only landed 14 hits" Black mamba alone is more than 14 hits lol, you don't even know how to count? I'm not even gonna bother arguing this point because of how stupid it sounded when you said 14 7- " Kaido one shot Luffy" Yeah he one shot enraged Luffy that couldn't use observation haki same thing happened to Oden he got one shot because he was enraged as well but you're ignoring the context here 8- " Katakuri could only manage to put down Luffy for 7m" Again you're being disingenuous and ignoring panels and context for agenda reasons? Chapter 880 Katakuri put Luffy down and was having a long conversation while Luffy was down, then he did similar to what Kaido did with his awakening and put Luffy down but instead of finishing him off he walks away because of plot, right here Luffy should lose but saved by the plot, then Katakuri outlasts g4 Luffy and Luffy runs away, Luffy should lose here AGAIN but ofc you ignoring these details. Then Luffy comes back and Katakuri magically forgets that he has awakening that he could use to put down base Luffy because base Luffy can't keep up with awakening without his g4 and then he stops using his spear. But ofc you ignore all of this context for some known reason and use this plot plot no mi fight to downplay Katakuri which is disingenuous 9- " Luffy vs Kaido round 1 take away" Yes Katakuri indeed got powercliffed like the rest of the series got powecliffed by Kaido, like is this new? We always knew that the Yonkos are on the top of the verse for a reason. but Katakuri wouldn't lose in one hit because he wouldn't be enraged like Luffy and not use observation haki and he would deal damage to Kaido since his armament was always better and had higher AP than Luffy 10- "Considering how close Katakuri vs Luffy and how one sided Kaido vs Luffy was" Yes if you read with your eyes closed and ignore context you would say such thing, everyone reading with their eyes open knows that Katakuri should've won in the first 30 minutes if not for plot and Luffy was enraged vs Kaido and couldn't use observation haki to dodge or block 11- "Pre Acoc Zoro is stronger than Wci snake man" That's just not true, Zoro still couldn't control Enma and he doesn't have the speed or the advanced observation to keep up with Luffy, also Katakuri was still stronger than Wci Luffy by a lot, if you read the context with your eyes open which i already explained 12- " Post Wci Luffy that fought Katakuri couldn't scratch Kaido" Yeah that has nothing to do with Katakuri since his armament is was always stronger tha LUffy's, if he was in Luffy's place he would damage Kaido 13- " Zoro tanked of Kaido attacks and could react to Big Mom" Zoro deflecting the wind slash isn't a "tank" are you serious? And reacting to Big Mom is something the base Wci Luffy did when Big Mom was about to attack the one of his allies 13- " Zoro needed advanced conquerors to beat King" That's just a lie he unlocked it because of Enma giving him trouble during the fight not King, King is beatable without conquerors haki as he become regular zoan when he goes speed mode unlike Kaido who's always durable 14- "King's body is so tough that the same attack that Zoro used to cut Kaido couldn't leave a scratch on King" Well that's just wrong you can go again and see that there was an aura coming out of Enma when Zoro attacked Kaido bit there wasn't an aura when Zoro attacked King with the same move 15- "While King's fire is off he's so fast and can perception Blitz Zoro" Well here's the thing that you keep lying... Zoro literally reacted to all of his attacks with basic observation haki not even advanced observation needed for his speed 16- "Even tho Zoro's attacks could barely put a dent on king" Lol he literally got one shot after these 2 attacks that were shallow, Katakuri lost half of his stomach and kept it fighting for hours while bleeding 17- " Zoro seems to struggle with King" No he didn't he was struggling with Enma and you're being disingenuous AGAIN 18- "Katakuri can't stand next to the Wg because Luffy got 1 shot" Again ignoring that Luffy was enrgaed and he was still much weaker than Katakuri, also ignores that Kidd and Killer both got 1 shot from one of Shank's attacks lol, 19- "The fact that a stronger and faster Luffy could get tagged by base Kaido" a stronger Luffy yes but faster isn't a fact it's your headcanon and Katakuri scales to snake man speed not base Luffy, also Kaido said good job not letting the same attack hit you twice which means he didn't get fully hit, but again you ignoring text on screen which is impressive 20- "Law Kidd Killer and Zoro doing damage to Kaido makes them better than Wci Luffy" Kidd literally didn't do anything to Kaido and the rest of them would get one shot by base drunk angry Kaido which is his strongest state when Luffy fought him. This is such a weak argument as well because even the scabbards did damage to Kaido and Luffy didn't but that doesn't make them stronger than Luffy in a fight, being better in one stats doesn't win you the whole fight lol 21- "Base Kaido was able to tag Luffy" You're scaling base Luffy to snake man Luffy which is 10x faster that was still getting bullied by Katakuri in terms of speed? And the fact that Kaido says that base Luffy didn't let the same attack hit him, and you're even scaling King's speed to Kaido's speed? You're just lost 22- "Even if Luffy used Snake man instead of Bounce man the result would've been the same" Oh so you're still ignorant on the fact that Luffy was enraged and couldn't user advanced observation? You're calling yourself a scaler btw. 23- "Zoro could clash with hybrid Kaido" Yes that Zoro had advanced conqeurros = Asura and you're sacling him after than the pre Acoc Zoro vs King? Are you ok? 24- "King could still perception Blitz Zoro with his flames off, which is something hybrid Kaido didn't do" Show me one panel of King perception Blitzing Zoro!! All of his attack were blocked on time, you don't even know what a blitz is. Kaido was about to blitz Zoro but Law saved him and that's the only time that Kaido tried to blitz Zoro why are you saying he couldn't do? But i can tell you have a short memory 25- "But how would Katakuri win the longer the fight get the weaker Katakuri haki will become" Katakuri is the one that showed better stamina feats fighting for 12 hours not King the got 3 shot in 15 minutes and you're trying to argue stamina against Katakuri? hilarious. Also after 12 hours Katakuri didn't show any sign of weakness in terms of observation 26- "Few hits all King needs because it took weaker Luffy 14 hits" I already answered this one above and how are you scaling King AP anyways when we don't know if he could hurt Kaido and the fact that Katakuri has much stronger armament? I have no more words on this.....

[@tevinssj7609]

Love the video, but just to play devils advocate I believe katakuri can definitely stand with them at the rooftop. Katakuri power level should be right there at kid law. Katakuri may not have mastered his conquerors haki awakening, but he can use it and release it in some of his attacks. I think speed wise katakuri is still at rooftop character speeds so I do believe he can keep up with most of the characters up there. I think the whole argument is whole cake Luffy just couldn’t do damage and I just don’t think this true if anything beginning of wano was more about bypassing kaido/ yonku defenses and on the rooftop we seen that there are several different ways to bypass characters of that level defenses killer was using sound law was using DF kid was using squeezing/physical strength To bypass kaido defenses to at least somewhat hurt him.

[@jeffyboi8192]

wci luffy's durability is above katakuri's and luffy became faster than him that luffy got speed blitzed and one shot by kaido. So no katakuri would get blitzed and one shot by kaido instantly. Also what are you on about him releasing conqueror's haki on his attacks he doesn't have advanced conquerors

[@El_Eon_]

@@tevinssj7609 thank you! Like the comment above this one said. Luffy is about as fast as katakuri as Katakuri in Gear 4. Luffy was likely not using Future sight when he first got blitzed and one shot but he WAS using it when Kaido blitzed him again. The Rooftop version of Luffy is faster than his previous Gear 4. He is faster than a version of Luffy that rivals Katakuri in speed. Even if Katakuri is slightly faster than snakeman he's not faster than rooftop Luffy.

[@starburst98]

Could katakuri do a training arc to become strong enough to win? As in, he takes the loss against luffy as drive to get even stronger.

[@johanlieberthyperborean]

@@El_Eon_ don't worry thats on the table

[@johanlieberthyperborean]

@@El_Eon_ Yeah my big problem with a lot of these takes on the subject is that; prior to the start of Wano we just spent a whole arc in WCI establishing the principles of observation Haki. How it requires a calm mind and control over ones emotions in order to use it. I think what's left out of a lot of these takes is that Oda clearly establishes at the begining of the confrontation that Luffy has just watched Kaido incinerate the mountain top the crew was watching from. So their fate is at best uncertain. Which is why Luffy dives in recklessly the way he does. The Luffy that loses to Kaido for the first time is in Bound-Man and not using observation haki. Making this a significantly different version of Luffy than the Snake-Man Luffy using Future Sight. I also just disagree that his movement speed isnt massively boosted in snake man I think that is clearly implied. On top of his combat speed and versatility recieving a massive boost. A boost that still did not over come Kat's Observation Haki. Kat was only "defeated" when he clashed with luffy power for power. I just simply don't think Katakuri would have gotten hit by that particular Thunder Bagua. As we saw Katakuri's speed and observation Haki were still superior to Luffy's by the end of their confrontation just prior to this. Genuinely this is also not talked about enough but by the time we reach Wano if you track since the start of the story Luffy's speed scaling has blown Zoro's out of the water by multiple tiers. So to say because King becomes very fast he could now tag a Katakuri seeing 5 seconds into the future is just unlikely. Especially since we were just watching Snakeman Luffy someone who is faster than gear 2 Luffy who is faster than Zoro struggle to tag him. On top of that I don't think you can really make a blanket statement like "the supernova all did better on the roof top than luffy" so therefore their speed and etc. scale over Kat. It's a team battle with a lot of abilities and tricks being used where they also out number the yonkou. So I think you really have to analyze those feats on a case by case basis. Now at the same time I will concede that Katakuri is going to be hard pressed to be able to penetrate King. But I think this is very clear that the narrative intention here that they are two sides of the same coin and both have this psuedo invulnerability that anyone in the series except the top tiers would have a hard time overcoming. Katakuri was able to fight using that level of observation Haki for 12 hours or whatever it was. And inside the manga Kings AP feats are nothing impressive. Katakuri has a deeper bag and more impressive Haki. Kat even shows levels to his armament as well as having conquerors. While King relies heavily on his natural physical lunarian attributes. As we know only Haki can transcend all. I think it is a very close fight I just think Kat has the edge in Stamina, Versatility and Haki. Future sight is also just super underrated and I think people only consider it's mid tier invulnerability rather than it's true ability which is to be able to plan ahead and change the course of a fight by constantly giving yourself the advantage. I don't think it is a coincidence that it is also Shank's primary ability. Nice vid tho bro.

[@El_Eon_]

@@johanlieberthyperborean I can see your viewpoint. I just feel like you're ignoring a couple of key points. You don't need to be calm of mind to use observation Haki only future sight. It's true that it can help improve your observation Haki but it's not exactly required. Regardless of whether or not Luffy used it against kaido, bounceman should still be relative in speed to Katakuri without future sight. Luffy's base by the time of the rooftop should be superior to every single version of Luffy besides maybe attack speed in regards to snakeman. He used future sight and still got tagged by kaido. I do not believe there is any feat that you can use for Katakuri that can solidly prove he could Dodge thunder bagua. As for Zoro, I feel like you're downplaying his speed, He could keep up with Rob Lucci who did get toyed with gear 5 Luffy but Lucci also wasn't so much slower that he couldn't at least somewhat keep up with Luffy. Zoro ends up blitzing and cutting an on guard Lucci later on. In many situations, especially on the rooftop Zoro is capable of keeping up with Luffy. He's also the only one who could react in time to the conquest of the sea. Especially since killer said there's no way of dodging it. I feel like you're also downplaying Kings AP because Zoro stated that his flames were like magma and akainu who has the magma. Devil fruit is stated to have the highest offensive power in the verse. Not to mention King's explosion nearly killed Zoro and his deep pride stake almost put down Zoro as well. I also feel like if anything future sight is overrated because so many people believe that it's this automatic answer to any character when all you need is higher speed than the person's reaction time, which I believe King should have Katakuri given the rooftop Feats. According to the 4 billion volume that came out for film red in Japan, it stated That Shanks is the observation killer. He seems to have some ability that actually negates observation Haki if anything. I don't think Future sight is actually his primary ability

[@michaeldorsey9231]

“ I also just disagree that his movement speed isnt massively boosted in snake man I think that is clearly implied.” I’m not sure that’s the case; Snakeman on Rooftop was blitzed by a drunken Kaido who was also evading all of Luffy’s punches, whereas immediately following that Boundman Luffy could actually land a blow on him. Not to say I think that Snskeman is slower than Boundman, just that their combat speed is not that far off from each other. At best the Mirrorworld showings would imply that Snakeman is much faster than Boundman, but this is overlooking base Luffy arguably surpassing his previous Boundman showings and getting future sight.

i will always have an issue with katakuri vs king since people act like king can and will one shot katakuri when that's not happening at all, there's so much nuances people miss with katakuri vs luffy like katakuri being the first villain to be conscious right after the fight, brulee heavily hints that katakuri let luffy go afterwards and fell on his back on purpose. To me it doesn't make sense for yonko and YC to be in the same realm , like people honestly believe ulti is headbutting katakuri and its GGs like that doesn't make sense for the sake of the story. Great video but i definitely disagree with katakuri not having a chance

[@michaeldorsey9231]

“brulee heavily hints that katakuri let luffy go afterwards and fell on his back on purpose.” She only hints that Kat was happy Luffy escaped, not that he had deliberately let Luffy go. And having the choice about which direction he fell in doesn’t mean he had any choice in raising his fists/continuing the fight.

Conquers haki is not a crazy Attack buff But a unique enhancer Maybe it directly buffs attack potency but if it dies i think its small like a 10% attack buff at max Conquers haki is utilizing will itself Basic conquers Overwhelms the Mind Adv. Conquers overwhelms the physical Meaning it actually interacts with the real world And putting on your weapon or fists Stacks that aspect It was confirmed Kaido was using Adv. Conquers haki along with basic armament haki But what kaido says after is interesting "Its like he is galring at me hus mind is not broken" Luffy was Knocked out not from the mind But from his body being overwhelmed And the only effective way to Fight against it is to have it yourself Thats why i think its not an attack buff I think it Adds a unique kind of attack and Defence That can only be fought against by another with it The result is the no touching sphere of will When 2 users are on the same realm of Power the result is no touching and the sky splits the sea's shake I say this becuase yamato achieved one of these the bo touching Sphere of haki But she was not exactly on the same lvl as kaido so there was no struggle of physical will being Clashed so no Sky split no sea shake no island destroying And What is Interesting is katakuri achieved this momentarily on a smaller scale with luffy Sphere of haki Physical world being crushed and affected However Katakuri easily overpowered luffy's Conquers haki Anyway sooner than later katakuri will be back and be allowed to use his full kit And Destroy almost anyone

So the most respectful character in One Piece according to Kata fans held back and lost on purpose which is considered a disrespectful act? He acknowledged Luffy as an equal near the end of their fight in both the manga and anime, yet ya'll keep glazing and not using feats or statements, but making stuff up like that other guy saying Katakuri had a unique type of Armament, whatever that means. The most Kata did for Luffy was give him a fair fight when he stabbed him from Flambe intervening. He never fell faked getting defeated for him to escape, he never held back 50% of his arsenal to make it easy for Luffy to win. Again, those are all signs of disrespect as one person is holding back because they think they are too strong. Stay liking each other's comments and feeling like you made a point, you'll always be wrong and it isn't a debate on it.

[@rivagemoore5359]

Ok let me explain how yall like to be delusional and disingenuous. 1. He’s views him as an equal when it comes to being pirates. He didn’t say we’re equal in strength just said we’re equals. 2. Most of the attacks kat showed in the fight was him trying to prove to luffy that anything you can do, I can do better. He only pulled out his own techniques towards the end of the fight. 3. He’s was constantly surprised at the fact that Luffy kept getting back up after hitting him with attacks. Mind you that these attacks didn’t have his full strength because he thought Luffy was fodder and would be out in a couple of attacks. He kept underestimating Luffy which caused the fight to last as long. 4. You keep saying his durability is trash but this is after he gave himself a fatal wound. You have to remember that, he also got back up after Luffy got up. And he coulda kept fighting but was happy with the outcome after asking Luffy, “ will you be back”? Yall also acting like he doesn’t dodge or block 80% of attacks. 5. Kat also learned during the fight that Luffy was picking up on how to use future sight and found it interesting on how far he could get. He started testing him after that. 6. Yall argue the future sight speed debate and only use base kaido and Luffy as the example. The problem with that is that Luffys base speed and kaidos base speed are in different leagues. Speed only tops future sight when one’s speed outclasses another’s. And kat is fast enough to react to kings speed. 7. And again with the durability… yall can say the same about king. When his flame is off his shit is trash. Buddy got tapped like 5 times after zoro learned about trick. And if zoro slow ass can figure that out so can anyone else on a similar scale. 8. His Ap is fine, his haki is better than kings, he has a higher arsenal when it comes to combat ability. Master devil fruit user and awakening also. With unstoppable donuts and block mochi he can constantly attack, and his stamina is also insane. So to your point it was disrespectful because kat thought he was that strong. He was known for being undefeatable and never laying in his back. Big mom maid the same mistake and that’s why she lost to Kidd and law. Because both of them view their opponents as lower, they ended losing. The difference is that kat actually gained respect and camaraderie towards luffy throughout that whole fights. If that wasn’t the case kat would have easily beaten luffy. The luffy vs kat fight is one the most situational and conditional fights in the whole series.

[@The_Final_Storm]

I’ve seen debates about Kid and Law being stronger than Zoro. I get Narratively its easy to assume that, you know 3 Captains and 2 Right Hands, but honestly watching their fighting abilities. I just don’t see it. Even saying Killer is on Par with Zoro, thats a little more fair but to me theres one big problem. The thing is from the 3 of them is Oda almost never shows them using Haki. I could think of multiple examples where they could have used Haki and Multiple techniques where Haki could be implemented in but its kind of insane that they don’t show Haki for those characters. Even if i put Luffy, Zoro and Law in the Ch. 1079 Situation, Law and Zoro should end up the same way Kid & Killer did right? Im not being a rabid, Toxic Power Scaler, but if theres something im missing, i wouldn’t mind learning what exactly i am missing.

[@big3fanboy19]

So I believe katakuri vs king is a lot more closer then people think. Personally I think katakuri beats king. First of all I believe katakuri got powercliffed it's not that much but people take it and run for the hills. Just because kaido one shot luffy at the beginning of wano doesn't mean he can't do it to king as well so why make this argument that kat got powercliffed. You say everyone on the rooftop is shown better feats against luffy act 1 really my dude it was a team fight if it was a 1v1 killer,law,kid would have gotten one shotted. Where I think kat got powercliffed was when characters who use acoc and ryou ish. Anyone that doesn't kat is still up there. Is snakeman luffy faster then king? I believe it's close and maybe snakeman might be faster. There's evidence that point to snakeman being faster (spoilers for anime only) snakeman is keeping up with kizaru who is made of light and clearly faster then king. Kizaru had to accelerate faster to knock out snakeman. 2. Kaido had to use future sight on snakeman by default gives katakuri fs. Ik that people are going to point to luffy gotten stronger with his fight with kaido not once does it state that acoc can boots your speed attack power yes but not speed. Not only that certain instances I belive luffy just did a reaction of a move not really him being faster against certain kaido moves. I believe kat can catch up with king in terms of speed. Kat is a lot smarter then zoro so he can figure out king weakness lot more faster then zoro can. I believe his mole spear can pierce king flame off skin. Plus kat has special armanment that is stronger then base armanment. I think wholeheartly that his special armanment can hurt king. Kat has the endurance 11hrs of fighting small breaks in between. Awakening can stop king movement suffociating him or slow him down that kat can pierce him with his mole spear or galatic donut. What does king have that can really damage kat like plz tell oh his fire attacks cool not like kat can dodge or counter in some way. All kat has to is figure out king weakness and keep up with the speed. Katakuri has so much in his arsenal that I believe he can beat king.

Haven’t watched the video yet. Katakuri is my glorious mochi king but I always knew he would lose to King because of his inability to do any meaningful damage to King in his flame form.

Luffy was caught off guard, due to the state of his mind. Didnt see it coming nor used armament to block. In Udon he learns advanced armament to hurt Kaido. When he goes to to roof and dodges Kaido's thunder bagua IN BASE, he says its because of using future sight He doesnt say anything about his supposed thousand times amp in speed or something He says future sight Wich he didnt the first time because he wasnt calm, thus couldnt dodge or deffend Luffy is not suddenly faster and stronger in base than he was 2 weeks ago in boundman No, hes fighting calmly abd with a new power So no, Katakuri wouldnt have bee one shotted, he would have dodged, way easier than base Luffy. Could Katakuri hurt Kaido? No But thats something else Advanced armament does give Luffy more power to hurt Kaido But Katakuri is DEFINITELY not getting one shotted and hes perfectly comparable to King Hence why Perospero is put around tobi roppo level, when hes like 3 tiers bellow Katakuri Arguing Perospero is equal or stronger than Katakuri, or even close to him, is just being oblivioud to the story's intentions Again, the power cliff should only ve assumed if absolutely necessary In this case EVERYTHING makes way more sense and doesnt stop making sense if you take Luffy being one shotted as what it is, a slip Luffy and his forms didnt get any faster, armament and conquerors dont amp speed, much less thousands of times wich is what this logic requires Yet snakeman pushed Kaido to use future sight, Katakuri fights at those speeds Him vs King is a very tight match

[@michaeldorsey9231]

[@michaeldorsey9231]

Going back through the manga, yeah there was plenty of indication that Kaido had hit Luffy’s unprotected head. Given what else is shown though, even if Luffy had his head protected I don’t think it would have made a difference. G4’s Haki coated fists couldn’t do anything to base Kaido’s unprotected skin, meaning G4’s Haki AP scales lower than Kaido’s durability, which would entail that Kaido’s conqueror’s coated club would scale above G4’s Haki durability.

[@crushcreate1461]

To be fair, when Luffy got one-shot by Kaido, he probably wasn't using future-sight due to being enraged. Thus, the version of Luffy that got one-shot is weaker than the one that went even with Katakuri. It does still mean Katakuri gets one-shot by Kaido, but he might be able to dodge him in base. I don't think this means that Katakuri could beat King, after all it only makes them relative in speed at best, but it makes the power cliffing slightly less egregious.

[@enclave1014]

I'd argue that the fight is way closer than the video explains, this is based on speculation to the similarity of Lunarian Flame vs Haki in that both abilities are only viable as long as the user has stamina. For instance, Luffy knew he could beat Katakuri by simply wearing out his opponent gradually, which is not how he wanted to win but was a viable condition for victory. Zoro, on the other hand, got something of a deus ex-machina by virtue of Enma's hunger for Haki. This increase in attack power likely drained King's stamina to the point that the latter was affected despite suffering no physical damage. King wanted to end the fight early before Zoro caught on to this so he spent his energy on a finisher instead. Katakuri can likely press King consistently until King's stamina ran out, prompting the latter to attack by means of AOE attacks like the flaming dragon. The deciding factor will then be whether King's speed form/AOE attack can catch Katakuri, and if Katakuri can affectively and consistently hit King, who's biggest strength includes flight. I think It really depends on who's attacking and defending, and will ultimately end in a standstill 50% of the time.

[@El_Eon_]

@@enclave1014 what's stopping King from just standing there and taking all of his hits with his flame on? Katakuri has no way of hurting him. You would have to prove katakuri is still as fast as King. Gear 4 Luffy May not have been using future sight, but he should be relative to katakuri in speed by the Time of his first fight with kaido. His base by the time of the rooftop is not only faster than gear 4 and possibly faster than katakuri but he still got blitzed by kaido in base. Zoro fought hybrid kaido who should be many times stronger and faster than his base. King could perception blitz Zoro with his flame off. Why would I believe that katakuri can keep up with flame off King when at best he still gets blitzed and one shot by kaido and King should be faster than base Kaido based off of Feats with Zoro?

[@enclave1014]

@@El_Eon_ Kaido only blitzed Luffy because his future-sight was down due to being enraged at believing his friends had died. Zoro could still react and counterattack King in his speed form without future-sight, which is the farthest thing from a blitz. King likely isn't much faster than Katakuri, who is still faster than Luffy at the start of Wano. The determining factor is STAMINA. King's (And by extension all Lunarians) flames likely consume stamina to avoid damage, hence why shutting it off increases speed as they can direct more energy to movement. Katakuri is also a Conqueror's Haki user with stronger armament than Luffy. King can still get hit and would probably spend stamina for invulnerability. It's going to be a drawn-out fight as King will have a hard time hitting Katakuri.

I think the biggest issue I have with using Luffy vs Kaido as a bridge has to do with equating Luffy and Katakuri's stats perfectly in the scenario. While I agree that Katakuri would've likely been one-shot in the same scenario, I'm not one board with saying that he couldn't damage Kaido because Katakuri has more methods of dealing damage outside of just raw blunt damage. I think a lot people never factor in the type of attack a person uses and just looks at everything as a case of raw numbers. I agree that Katakuri would do no damage if he ran at Kaido and tried to punch him but his spear attacks are an entirely different type of attack that we don't have a point of comparison for, since Luffy wasn't able to outright tank them, instead just barely being able to minimize damage by dodging enough that they missed vitals.

From what I could tell in general, Kaido seems to more susceptible to bladed weaponry than blunt force.

Again, I don't think it really changes the outcome and the response could just be that the scabbards' combined AP complete dwarfs Katakuri's which is like... depressing but not impossible.

I like the idea that a fight between these 2 would stalemate. Katakuri can't damage King cause his durability is too high, and King can't damage Katakuri because he dodges every single attack. The 1st commanders all seem to be "lock and key" opponents where you need a specific tool or ability to even have a win condition. For Katakuri that's future sight. No matter how fast you are, he sees the attack a few seconds before it happens. Unless you can also see him dodge and change your attack accordingly, you wont hit him. For king it's conqueror's infusion. If you don't have AP on that level, which so far is only possible through conqueror's haki, then it's just impossible to damage him. I don't like the powercliffing argument because we've seen that older characters reintroduced are always much stronger, even when they had no opportunity to do so. Look at Crocodile for the best example of that hapening between alabasta and impel down. I have no doubt that if katakuri was to appear again the difference in stats would significantly decrease, even if he didnt do any kind of training between then and now. I do think King would win in the end, but it's much closer than you think. Katakuri's only win condition is getting conqueror's infusion or suffocating King. Both of those are incredibly unlikely to happen. Even factoring in seastone/the ocean king keeps his durability, and has a flying devil fruit to avoid falling in water.

Disagreed, I can't gauge King's speed with Zoro's performance as prove because Zoro can't dodge Kaido's attacks either (Zoro is a tank, his observation and movement is lesser than people who specializes in speed), Katakuri being able to evade some of Snakeman's attacks puts him at equal speed (a speed only drunk Kaido using his own future sight could match). Damage wise while Zoro only defeated King after he unlocked ACOC it was a 2 shots (with most of the damage done by the Dragon Damnation) meaning King without flaming is not the most durable guy out there (we saw people taking multiple ACOC attacks from Kaido and Big Mom without instant defeat) who should be able to be damaged by strong attacks regardless of ACOC, Katakuri's Armament Haki is more advance than Gear 4th Luffy's, making it one of the hardest Armament out there, him unable to defeat Luffy was because of his own pride preventing him from using his weapon, I think that most skills he show during that fight was due to emulating Luffy's fighting style in order to break his spirit, meaning his usual fighting style was using his trident primarily, taking his trident attacks damage into consideration it would have 2 shots Luffy (the first shot almost took out a third of Luffy's abdomen) I have a hard time believing his trident attacks wouldn't damage flame off King if they fought, and Katakuri is not going to stab himself this time so your durability calculation would have to be redone.

Even aside from the speed blitz, the fact that he’s comparable to Zoro at all puts his speed as being greater than Kat’s, given that Zoro in ch 1001 could dodge Kaido’s club and land a hit on base Kaido, and that Zoro was fast enough to land hits on dragon Kaido later (even if Kaido is still not going all out in these moments, he should still be faster than his Kuri self given that he’s taking Luffy and Zoro more seriously than he did in Kuri). “ so what prove do you have that he can hit someone who can move through a snakeman barrage unscathed for a time or mover through the environment like liquid?” Pretty much the scaling chain I listed above; Kat at best scales to Mirrorworld Snakeman (and even then given that Luffy’s attacks were shown covering greater distances in the time Kat could react to them, I’d argue that Snakeman was faster to some degree), Snakeman doesn’t have anything that would make it measurably greater than Boundman in reaction speed, meaning the base Kaido in Kuri not only scales above Boundman but also Snakeman and Kat. Anyone who scales to/above this version of Kaido would therescale faster than Kat, including Zoro and King. “Where is the prove that King flame off can tank a hit from Katakuri's trident?” The fact that flames off King could take several hits from Zoro using Conqueror's coating before he was defeated. Using Luffy as a basis, Conquerors on top of his base gave him a better buff in strength than G4 did (G4 with advanced armament couldn’t damage dragon Kaido as effectively as base Luffy with Conquerors could damage Hybrid Kaido). That’s anywhere from a 16x increase in power (if we’re lowballing and assuming each of Luffy’s gears is a 2x increase in AP from the weaker gears) to a 44x increase in power (going of the calculable difference in durability between G4 and base from Dressrosa feats). Nothing about Kat’s trident suggests that it has AP to this degree, even assuming that Kat without his trident is equal to Zoro on Rooftop, which I don’t see much evidence for. And considering that Mole was only ever shown damaging Base Luffy (and from what I recollect in an area where Luffy wasn’t protected by Haki), and that it didn’t have any showings against G4 Luffy, and that the next time Kat used a piercing weapon against Luffy it didn’t leave lasting damage (ie, hitting Luffy in the face with the spike on his knee pad), I think proof would be needed that Kat’s piercing power would do anything to flames off King at all.

@@michaeldorsey9231 Nice, so lets see: First of all I hope you put chapter number into your statements, I will do it this time, that way we can do this faster, so in chapter 1010 Luffy unlocked ACOC, so by your account should mean his speed feats should surpass anything he showed before, yet I didn't find any, so you will have to enlighten me on this. Second, in chapter 1001 Kaido was not dodging at all, neither was he in 1010 so Zoro hitting him is not a speed feat at all, and in 1010 Zoro was hit by Kaido's drive by attack aimed at both him and Law so he dodged nothing, and there is still no way to connect these facts with Katakuri at all, even if Zoro can't see King's attacks, which is false, chapter 1032 King used his fastest attack which Zoro remarks to be like a beam, yet he still didn't hit more than a glancing blow, chapter 1033 Zoro again block all King's attacks even though he was fighting with Enma at the same time, by 1035 Zoro is able to hit King no problem but King can't hit Zoro without him blocking and negating his assault, think about it if flame off King's speed can overwhelm Zoro how the hell can Zoro even tag him? That would make no sense. Third, the one shot in Kuri is bad for power scaling, because Luffy was not using Future Sight nor was he reacting to that attack due to himself being in the middle of an attack, Luffy showed that with future sight he could partially dodge (meaning it's not even that hard) it, also attack speed is different from evade speed (Zoro himself being the biggest prove) so unless they show base Kaido dodging snakeman barrages I don't see how you can even gauge anything from it (by the time Kaido was dodging snakeman's attacks his scale with King would already have changed, there is no point in the story where that serious Kaido was stated to be slower than King's flame off form), but I also don't see how you scale speed between Zoro/King with this Kaido at all since neither of them ever dodged his attacks nor snakeman's attacks (which Katakuri had to be equal to or faster, the fists have to travel longer distance true, but Katakuri had to move his entire body out of the way which is much harder, so there). Fourth what you are saying is a bare fisted Katakuri can punch through Gear 4th's defense and overwhelm Luffy's Haki defence but that same Katakuri would do less damage Gear 4th Luffy (who's durability warrents one shot from Kaido's ACOC attack) using his spear, therefore he can't hurt someone who was 2 shoted (that's generous given that the Bird Dance was just a glancing blow) with Zoro's brand new ACOC attacks, can it happen? Sure. Likely? No.
