I can't be assed to read earlier convos, but were you not arguing that Sanji failed in knocking out Big Mom because her eyes weren't closed, and she was still talking and orgasming loudly enough from the food?
Cos after the whole learning process with Katakuri. I expected my boy Luffy to at least make Kaido struggle with regards to landing a hit (if a hit is all it'd take to put Luffy down - I mean who could've guessed?).
Finally, someone who actually makes sense regarding the new power Luffy got. He still got his ass beaten by Kaidou in one shot, which was surprising actually, given Luffy's tenacity. Shows Luffy is in no way ready to take on an Emperor, and given Kaidou losing his shit over Big Mom landing on Wano, we can assume she's powerful as well. Shows just how big a gap is between Supernovas/Yonkou Commanders and Emperors.I totally expected Luffy to get wrecked by Emperors and I said that future sight was the most useless power-up he could get.
I wouldn't say it's useless but the emperors are a different calibre of opponents. Any powerups he receives would help; even this, but at the level that he has it, it won't make much of a difference. If any.I totally expected Luffy to get wrecked by Emperors and I said that future sight was the most useless power-up he could get.
Even if he did use it, he still would have been outclassed immensely, the only difference would be delaying the inevitable. There's no point in being able to see the opponent's next move if you can't even hurt the opponent or tank his attack.
Future sight isnt useless, its just not enough to take down a yonkou. I actually prefer future sight to something like a gear 5. Besides, theres a lot more with haki that Luffy needs to learn, specially with CoC.I totally expected Luffy to get wrecked by Emperors and I said that future sight was the most useless power-up he could get.
The reason why I think that FS on Luffy is useless is that it changes nothing. What do I mean with that?
You cant use plot protection in this argument.
What about the time when Mihawk almost slashed him into two pieces. How much armament haki do you think will be enough to withstand Mihawk's slice? You don't have to have a logia-like body to use future sight. Even if he has the strongest haki in the world, it may not be able to resist all types of attacks. He can also use future sight to protect his crew from an incoming attack.
Maturing as a character is also important for Luffy's growth. Being able to remain calm at the heat of the moment and use haki effectively. I think future sight was also important for that reason.

I think Oda might touch on stamina and haki connection sometime in the future. We saw how Law mentioned using his DF is limited by his stamina. Assuming the same with haki, If CoA haki usage affects stamina, then future sight is equally important. You cannot always block an attack, dodging with his rubber techniques make be even more impotant.
He doesnt, correct but would you agree that it's far more effective with Logia-like body? So effective that Luffy didnt know why he wasnt able to hit him.
Why not? You can see that he isnt allowed to die no matter what. You can see in the Katakuri fight when the spear took a chunk out of his stomach that in the next page he continued the fight as if that never happened.
I think he will never have such lvl of haki that would allow him to take Mihawk's slices barehanded, however, he can always dodge them. His reflexes are insane so why add FS to it?
Well, I am not arguing that Katakuri used it extremely effectively. Of course he did, and that was brilliant by all aspects. But calling it completely useless is inaccurate.
Well, if you agree that haki isn't alone enough to defend an attack from Mihawk, then you gotta agree even more that future sight is important. Yes, he can dodge them but only if he can see an attack come in. Mihawks' slice isn't slow, it can be faster than a blink and in such a scenario, future sight will allow him to dodge it.
I don't think devil fruit is always limited by stamina, it just depends. Law's devil fruit is limited by his stamina, but Luffy's doesn't seem to be, unless he uses the Gears (or used Gear 2 and 3 given he has no drawback to them now).
I agree, but we're talking about Luffy.
Yeah, that's very likely to happen. It will probably be very important for 1 specific case/fight.
Oda might surprise us and plus again Rayleigh's words are canon you grow stronger with Haki as you fight, so could be same with Kaido when he face him.
