Rem d*ckriders have completely lost it.

Yes , Imu right now is an active villain in Elbaph but I'm confident that we haven't even seen 30% of him in general , lore and power wise.

How do you scale their durability and endurance in comparison to Akainu ?

Personally, I think this isn't even a debate. There's no way flaming final form dragon Kaido would be pushed back and knocked out from Galaxy Impact. He would tank and eat that shi lmao

The Hogyoku already adapted to the Almighty powers. Let Aizen cook.

Yall are NOT ready for his comeback.

A lot of people didn't catch what actually happened in this scene and think that Yhwach got pierced and hurt by Neliels spear. Uryu used Antithesis multiple times in this fight and this is one of them.

Uryu used Antithesis to reverse the injuries. Stop spreading misinformation that Nel hurt Yhwach with her spear. I wished tha anime made it a little more clear of what was actually happening so people wouldn't get confused.

Blasted away by Loki , twice by Luffy , Gaban also sent his shit down and made him fall on his back and rethink he life choices and Big H Hajrudin also gave him a reality check. He also got blasted away into the tree branches ( for the 6th time btw ) by the combined attack of the 3 lmao.

Even his speech is so out of context and makes 0 sense. Like what is he even saying about all this freedom shit and all ? Wtf is he yapping about ? Someone please shut his mouth and get him out of here.

I really hope he f*cking dies in this arc so I don't have to see his bumass on my screen ever again. Just when you think Luffy will actually get some kind of character development, this BUM comes out of nowhere and completely ruins the moment. It's Odas fault for trying to hype up this USELESS character and makes it even worse.

And this bum has the audacity to talk back on Gaban , who saved their worthless lives and sacrificed his life fighting Imu for the shake of Elbaph. If Gaban wasn't there Luffy and this useless of a character who thinks that hes giving a motivational speech, would have all died.

Should have left his ass back in Water 7.

I wanted to say Koby but I dont think Koby will be nowhere near the levels of the top tiers when they are fighting for the One Piece. I only see him reaching his Prime after 10-15 years when the story will already be over. Thats why my best bet is Akainu , the strongest marine there will ever be in One Piece at least up to the end of the story. Cause as I said Koby will most likely surpass him in 10 years.

People in the comments are going to bark saying Akainu isn't that strong to be fighting Luffy especially as a final opponent but forget Oda can do whatever he wants and make any character as strong as he likes. For this battle to actually make sense , Luffy will already have defeated the likes of Imu and Blackbeard and his final fight for the One Piece would be the traditional way , Pirate VS Marine

And I mean Buggy ACTUALLY becoming the Pirate King , no fake title or some kind of accident.

Don't get me wrong , Imu is cool and all , but bro right now is a straight punching bag. He gets some cool and aura moments , then he gets punched in the face with his tongue out , then he locks in and fights back and then he gets treated again the same way Smoker was treated in Punk Hazard lmao.

If Ussop gets a hit on Imu and actually hurts him (cause I know it will happen if Hajrudin did) , just delete Imu as a character and throw his ass in the trash including his story and character design.

Imagine the news : The king of the world who defeated Joyboy got hit in the face by a green bean from God Ussop . Generational Aura Loss that he'll never take back no matter what. I can't even imagine the slander he will get. He already gets enough right now

Some people will disagree, but for me personally it was always clear by the narrative that Yamamoto was individually stronger than every single S0 member except Ichibei.

Even though S0 are enhanced from the power of the Soul King , more than half of them were underlings of Yama back then in the Soul Society.

In Bleach it is stated that for someone to be a member of S0 , he needs to discover or create something that elevates the new era of the Soul Reapers and doesn't have to be related with strength necessarily. But this isn't the important statement here. The MOST important one is that Kubo specifically stated that the COMBINED power of those 5 is greater than the Gotei 13. That means that the 5 of them together could solo the entire Gotei 13. If every single one of them were able to go to the Soul Society and defeat anyone including their strongest captain , then that statement wouldn't make any sense.

In my eyes Yama was basically a member of Squad 0. I'm 99% sure that he was offered to join them after the 1st Quincy war but he refused them and chose to serve as the Head Captain and the Ultimate Defence of the Seretei for over a thousand years. Maybe he wanted to attone for his dark past for being a ruthless and heartless killer.

In conclusion , even though the Royal Guards of Yhwach got saved and revived multiple times with the Almighty and Auswahlen, the S0 members failed to kill them PERMANENTLY and that was the reason the got defeated in the end outside of plot points etc. I think one of the reasons Yhwach wanted to take out Yama as soon as possible was cause he knew he could permanently kill/erase/burn to ashes his Royal Guards without being able to come back to life.

The same thing he did to Overkill in the 1st invasion
