What you put in quotes is clearly not what I said. I merely stated a theory that maybe a Kata is trying to conserve his haki and not use it as much to save his strength for when luffy goes into G4 or maybe for fights afterwards. People can dodge people without haki. Maybe Kata is doing that...
Pretty sure in 886 luffy says Observation Haki can run out but he doesn’t want to use that strategy against Kata because he wants to beat him at his best.
Kata has probably used up a lot of his haki and is now being more conservative in its use. He probably uses it up faster dodging it with his trick than just regularly dodging. Luffy has said it can run out and maybe Kata is trying to keep a reserve for when Luffy goes into G4
Luffy also said he wanted to fight Kata at full power. He still has hours to kill. As stupid as it sounds, Luffy may be intentionally letting Kata’s haki recharge.
Pulling a Goku when he gave cell a senzu bean
Sanji getting left behind may be intentional
If you think not having a good teacher is just a “convenient excuse” then you are clearly bias. Not having a teacher is a legitimate explanation for not developing something as well as others. A good teacher can take someone like Coby and turn him...
I actually agree that Sanji probably doesn’t have hardening but I don’t think the “if he had it he would’ve used it by now” argument works. If it did then why didn’t Zoro use hardening in his fight against Fujitora? Fujitora is clearly Zoro’s strongest opponent thus far but he didn’t use...
Isn’t the negative outlook a bit premature. We don’t even know if Luffy will get a power up this arc. Just because Ludfy wonders if he can do what Kata can doesn’t mean he will.
I mean we learned about awakening over a year ago and every one thought that’d be Luffy’s next power up but it hasn’t...
Without getting into a debate on power levels, I hope Sanji and Bege each get a fight and don’t both double team Oven. I’d like each to get a chance to shine.
Maybe Sanji can use his Hell Memories technique to match Oven’s DF and Bege can get a fight against another BM pirate but I don’t think...
“Year of Sanji” has turned into the Sanji hate/love fest. People should just sit back and enjoy the Manga. Sanji will be as strong or as weak or as fast or as slow as the plot requires.
I mean, he was overpowered by Daifuku. Daifuku was overpowered by Yonji. Yonji was fodderized by Sanji...
I think Luffy’s growth is a lot due to the fact that he has amazing teachers like Garp and Rayleigh. I don’t think Mingo had anyone train him which makes it understandable that it took him longer to get strong. Kata took 48 years to get to where he is at but he probably didn’t have the benefit...
