Why LUFFY Actually WON THE FIGHT Against KATAKURI | Grand Line Review

[@MrWhatdafuBOOM]

Something tells me GLR REALLY wants us to know that Katakuri is a superhuman, that he's never laid down in his life, that he's a man who looks down on the very earth itself, that he's proud, cold and powerful, at all times the perfect man, but maybe I'm just imagining things.

When you mention that you also have to mention that they are PIRATES, pirates dont have good sportsmanship or honour but katakuri and luffy were 2 men that defied that

[@Orbitalbomb]

mever forget that the fight was unfair from the beginning with Luffy having to fight an Army being cracked down by Haki Userers, after he defeated Cracker and many other subordinates, then was put in jail and when he escaped by the help of Jinbei, he almost starved to death. Then he had to fight all the commanders at the wedding and flee from BigMom. Additionally while fighting one of the strongest in the New World, he got poisoned by SheWhoMustNotBeNamed. This was never an even fight, Katakuri just made it a bit more even by stabbing himself.

Mochi is soft and malleable into any shape; that also applies to Katakuri's personality, as he was able to mould his image into that of a perfect and rock-hard individual. Beneath the surface, however, he remained soft mochi. Rubber, on the other hand, while also being soft, always bounces back into its original shape. In this way, rubber is the embodiment of true resilience, of never giving up and of staying true to what you are. (And of becoming stronger with each obstacle: the harder you push rubber, the harder it pushes back.) Despite mochi being able to mimic rubber's attacks with more flexibility and more power, in the end, this was a fight about who is able to accept his own nature, so naturally, Luffy had to win.

This was easily the best conflict in one piece, in my opinion it goes so far that Katakuri wishes for Luffy to return to end his terrible mother, because he knows that he and his siblings could never do it. This scene really made me think, that he would join the straw hats if not for his siblings that would pay for his treason

[@annakareninacamara6580]

I saw it that way too. In a smaller or grater scale, all of her children are afraid of her, and none of them truly trusts her. I mean, I can't blame them, she can kill them anytime if she's hungry and she arranges marriages with them as bargaining chips. But I don't see him as a straw hat, I wish that after Big Mom is defeated he steps in and it leads to a new Big Mom crew, with the dinamycs similar of Roger and Whitebeard

Thats a pretty cool concept ngl, but I have a feeling that if he joined the straw hats he’d be nerfed

It frustrated me when the whole “Katakuri won but plot armour” because I always saw it as this. It felt like one of those times a Shonen series actually used real aspects of martial arts integrated into the series’ style and fans called it ‘unrealistic’. A big part of high level martial arts is training to stay mentally strong, thinking ahead in the fight and being physically conditioned to dishing out lots of hits and taking lots of hits, as apposed to being just skilled at techniques and physically strong. Katakuri wasn’t used to putting in his all and lost the drive required to push past it.

Came from your Dude in a Room video. In hindsight, its incredibly surprising that KZbin didn't flag this video for copyright. It's more One Piece footage than I've ever seen you use

I want to see Katakuri and Luffy eating donuts and meeting again at some point.

That'd be wholesome

*Thanks for making this video!!* Not only is the message of this fight amazing and super important for our current generation, but also its very underrated. I'm sure even big fans may have missed the main message when reading week to week, whilst the arc itself is quite chaotic. So highlighting this can clear things up and puts every one on the same page! *Very well done analysis! I know they don't bring in the MOST views, but the hardcore Grandfleet Members appreciate this ^_^*

[@jeypadilla-qq8su]

This is by far one of the best vids Liam has ever done. Awesome

[@Haideraide]

I really love this fight myself it's both Katakuri's and Luffy's great turning points. I love when they both pull out conquerors Haki and knock out the peanut gallery.

[@gamefreak2050]

Luffy vs Katakuri in some ways reminds me of Gon vs the ninja guy in HxH. Like Gon was clearly outclassed but the man would not give up and the ninja guy didnt know what to do

[@moneyindabag4411]

His name is Hanzo

[@azurehydra]

THIS IS EXACTLY IT!!!! This fight was perfection. It was far more mental warfare, Katakuri reached an epiphany and realized how his delusions didn't match reality. He lost himself, so he lost the fight.

[@natzuft]

He really pinned down Katakuri in this fight!

[@outamym1nd695]

I absolutely loved the way you broke the fight down, and the perspectives you added for Katakuri

[@shadyshrimp4169]

Katakuri is like wamuu, an enemy but a very respectable one.

[@BoB-by6cj]

I feel since oda put so much into katakuri that something in the future of one piece will include katakuri again

[@lulu4882]

i hope so, sometimes characters who are well developed in their arc just fade into the background though.

[@Interestking]

@@lulu4882 That's because not everything has to be important to the overall plot, and that's what I like about One Piece. Vivi was amazing, but after Alabasta, she never encounters Luffy again. This is because although she is an amazing character and it would be awesome for her to see Luffy after all this time, it wouldn't make sense from a narrative standpoint.

[@lulu4882]

@@Interestking it's true that that'll happen but vivi is about to gain importance again with what happened during the reverie arc. oda will often have characters go into hibernation for years and bring them back in an organic way that makes sense with the progression of the plot.

[@abdula99213]

Spoiler alert!!!!! In wano kunai big mom returns so there's a huge change katakuri also comes to assist Luffy

[@dhitikshetty9760]

i think that after wano there is a revolutionary army arc as something has happened to sabo and i hope in this arc we can discover more about dragon

[@imrjvzoldyk1694]

Yeah everyone one wants to know what happened at reverie

[@Colaschnittchen]

And hopefully zorros backstory and more about down d. stairs

[@bockskarr6626]

BRING ON ELBAF ✊🏻

[@SillyTillie]

I was expecting an april fool, but it was a very good video

[@kingace6186]

I just want to say, if Luffy hadn't exposed Katakuri's "kirk" like that in front of the 3 chefs, then Katakuri wouldn't of had to kill them.

[@LucasRibeiro-ds5rq]

11:00 That also could be because Luffy's Devil Fruit is a Mythical Zoan, So he indeed has better endurance physically than others, Wich also means that katakuri received more damage to his spear than did Luffy. But that's just a guess.

[@jg5745]

Man, I've been bamboozled so many times today by One Piece youtuber that I was just waiting for you to say Happy April Fools Day.

[@mikanchan322]

More videos on this fight are always welcome!

[@skyreapery2n164]

Regardless of the outcome... I have never seen Luffy's ass beat so much even when trying to save Ace... He got the ass whooping to last several lifetimes. He got them Mochi Mochi hands...

[@jeremyblasabas7616]

this is one of my favorite GLR videos. I sometimes go back in here to hear Liam repeatedly stating that Katakuri is a superhuman, that he's never laid down in his life, that he's a man who looks down on the very earth itself, that he's proud, cold and powerful, at all times the perfect man.

[@ManLikeThato]

[@angelbabe133]

Honestly, watching this battle was irritating, but this breakdown of this drawn-out fight gives me a newfound appreciation of this series haha One Piece often faces battles of pride, but this 👌🏽 👌🏽 I hope Luffy’s awakening comes soon

[@ifnarta]

To be honest Luffy defeating Katakuri seems more natural to me than when he defeated Doflamingo.

[@justbny9278]

You're going off the manga or the anime? In the manga Gear 4 just straight up throws Luffy way above Mingo's league, and while in the downtime he couldn't use Haki he could still run on his own(not just implied but also confirmed by Oda on SBS)

[@crissinbon]

@@justbny9278 I hate when in the anime they change stuff like that. Luffy bodied mingo and the last attack was like punching air for Luffy. Same with Zoro and a certain nova in Wano.

[@ifnarta]

@@justbny9278 I read the manga while it was on-going, but I think his downfall was too sudden and feels out of place to me when it did. Katakuri fight, on the other hand, had good amount of buildups and developments until their final clash.

[@NM-ev7pu]

@@justbny9278 Luffy also had the help of Law. He was able to hit Doflamingo with his Red Hawk and Law hit him with his Gamma Knife. Dofi has certainly hax abilities and I think in a 1 on 1 Luffy has a very bad time. Not saying he couldn't win but he wouldn't beat Dofi with on G4.

[@xxdemisucksxx]

He couldn't beat doffy in the time limit of G4 and had to get help from the colosseum dude. He also had help from law. And after doffy and luffy re engaged, they were mostly even. And that's in the manga. It was a hard W thats all. Keep in mind while fighting luffy and law, doffy was maintaining an island level ability that haki users couldn't even cut through, made multiple clones of himself and also had to repair his organs. If it was luffy vs doffy 1v1 I can't say luffy wins

[@_neon-xeon_3966]

The real real reason why Luffy won if that his rubber body can only stretch while Katakuri's mochi body can break and deform So when they have a d size competition, luffy can stretch his d without compromising it because rubber is thick and hard, while if katakuri stretches his d, it will simply just turn into mushy mochi and break into gooey parts

[@already8007]

What is wrong with u

[@Interestking]

@@already8007 I know right? Katakuri would just use Armament Haki!

[@ytd]

Very well put together, really made me think. I had not put that much through and detail into how I perceived this fight!

[@Timestampguy22]

11:12 the man who has never fallen versus the man who always gets back up is soooo hard

[@narfd.8837]

Indicative SPOILERS for Chapter 1009: One thing I have remembered since the end of the Luffy vs Katakuri fight was the phrase "you're looking very far into the future", which was said by Katakuri responding to Luffy's declaration that he would come back to defeat Big Mom. To this day I consider this foreshadowing of the currently going fight in Wano and the latest events in Chapter 1009 support that even further.

[@bockskarr6626]

I think BM and ELBAF will be tied up a lil perhaps in the beginning 🤷🏼‍♂️ being that BM has ties to ELBAF

[@narfd.8837]

@@bockskarr6626 My personal ideal conclusion would be that BM comes to peace with the giants of Elbaf, but for that she will have to get a lot of character development first. So obviously I hope that she comes out of the whole fight alive and the end of chapter 1009 is just a red herring.

I'll save you guys 14 munities of your life. Luffy won because of plot armour.

at 4:13 you said that the Gomu Gomu no mi was a paramecia in which I thought it was however after doing some more digging it is actually a zoan type devil fruit.

[@pokekiller787x]

I'm so sick of seeing people claiming this fight was an example of plot armor. Shows that they paid next to no attention to the story and think the only thing to a fight is strength. Hilarious

[@mrduckling1995]

You gotta be honest though this is clearly plot armour

[@justbny9278]

*Initial* Strength while at that

[@sleenybigweeny6780]

crazy he had to make two videos for people to understand why luffy won.

[@monkidluffitv]

Thank you for this video, I always enjoyed this fight but the community sometimes feels like only raw power is what matters in a fight and while that might be the case in some fights not everything is about who can throw the hardest punch. These human dynamic complexities matter just as much and they’re far more satisfying than just comparing who has the biggest bicep.

[@ArchfiendRai]

This is by far your best video.

[@MrKMarga]

very well narrated bro.. you'd have thought you was in the writers room brainstorming with the man Oda himself. thanks for offering a different perspective to the plot, def made me re-analyse that whole battle! GG
