Zoro released Haoushoku Haki coating without controlling it exactly like Luffy released uncontrolled Haoushoku Haki blast in Flying Fish Riders ocean base, in Amazon Lily, in Impel Down and in Marineford. It was very clear to me that Zoro didn’t control Haoushoku coating against King. He let all his Haki run out into his swords risking death in the process which also triggered the Haoushoku Haki coating there. Now he is trying to use it at will without going all out and collapsing from it. This doesn’t seem off to me considering 1) that he hasn’t even mastered Haoushoku Haki blast 2) that Luffy who had already learnt how to master Haoushoku Haki blast with Rayleigh didn’t know how to coat HK until he fought Kaido on the rooftop for the second time.

Yep really agree. GMG undermined a lot of what he'd previously established, especially making the guild feel more like the Tenrou group plus background characters that might get the odd line of dialogue. I hated when he started handing (Natsu in particular) loads of easy unearned wins, it's always a lot more satisfying having to work for it!

Looking back I'm still amazed given the setup on END & Mard's plan being to revive him, that it didn't just lead into a big final confrontation with maybe Zeref & Natsu on one side and the rest of the guild on the other. No need for a messy half baked war with very hazy objectives. I'm still amazed he admitted to largely making it up on the fly and not really having any overarching plan for the final part of the story. It did feel like it came completely out of nowhere, as there was nil setup on political relations between Ishgar and the other continents.

I still hold out a tiny little bit of hope there might be something from Ignia, but I don't even know what. Something memorable or cool, or something that calls back to the original series in a neat way, or a memory of Igneel that shows him in a slightly different light, or just something so he's not just another ridiculously strong punching bag for Natsu at this point.

I'd take it, though it would have to be better writing quality than 100YQ or what's the point, really? It would be too easy for it to be more of the same but moved up to god scale from dragon, and if there's no interesting plot twists, a sense of progression and growth, and importantly the reimposition of some sort of sanity to power scaling so it all means something, it's just more Alvarez-100YQ badly choreographed fight scenes strung between a basic travelogue and a few panels of flavour text for the 'mission'.

That was just obrion's theory - We don't know whether that is true or not yet.
In fact I think - shinshu is the power to make anyone and *any amount* of people an axis. Why I think so and what evidence do I have to support this theory?

So there is an official Tog game called - "Tower of God : New world". Both SIU and game developers has said that for stories/lore, siu was heavily involved. Here is one of the stories here - about how the tower came to be :-

Tower Creation Myth (Data Fragment):

When playing through the main story, you can collect data fragments which put together a small text file that either tells a story and gives some trivia. One of these data fragments seems to be a creation myth about the Tower

“*Long long ago, there were two sibling deities in charge of caring for the early world. The brother and sister used the power they inherited from their mother, breathing life into the frozen land and bringing forth their creations.*

*The son created human beings that were small and fragile, yet tenacious. On the other hand, the daughter created large, strong, and quiet human beings. The two creations seemed to coexist peacefully for a time. But one day, the king of the small humans came to the son and said to him,*

*“God, we are but weak beings. Please help us defend ourselves from the big humans.”*

*The son, who loved his creations dearly, bestowed upon them a power permitted only to gods. The small humans used that power to build fortresses, forever isolating themselves within.*

*When she learned of this, the daughter became furious. The daughter gave the big humans a book of prophecies and gave them an order.*

*“Punish the lowly beings who built a fortress that soars into the sky, who are unafraid of the gods”*

*The big humans did not enjoy fighting, but they wrote down the first lines according to the will of their goddess.*

*“Let there be light…”*

*That was the end and beginning of everything.”*

Imo, The fortress here refer to the tower; The power probably reffering to shinshu .

And anyone could tell that what "light" refers to.

The question is how much of this is exactly canon. I don't have much evidence for it but we'll see in s4

Yes, but the film is now canon, because the new Japanese chapters include a description of Merlin and say that she helped defeat the supreme deity.

What would be interesting is a combined god domain of the 4 graces.
