I honestly still don’t see how this fight is gonna go, or end. The only ones that seem capable of doing any real damage are Luffy and Zorro, maybe Laws gamma knife as well, since it continues to destroy the organs from the inside. But there is the change that kaido also has some kinda of healing power. Not like the Marco, just better than other people and Zoans.
Luffy is already out of Gear 4(Haki). I don’t know what his plan was. While i love Gear 4 its drawbacks are just huge. Sure it does but him on a Yonkou/Admiral level. But only for a short time.
He needs something that puts him on the same level, but for a long time or something that makes him outclass them so much he can defeat them in that time frame. I mean fight on this level can go on for days.
Akainu vs Aokiji 10 days
Ace vs Jinbe 5 days
Roger pirates vs WB pirate 4 days and they didn’t finish
Atleast i do think, he is capable of damaging big mom a lot more than Kaido. Or put in other words Kaido is even tougher than Big Mom.
In the last chapter after Big Mom attacked Zorro, Luffy went after her and was only stopped by Kaido. She looked quite scared of him in that moment. Although she didn’t care for him in Hole cake Island. And in this chapter, when she saw his barrage on Kaido she looked stunt to. She seems to judge better than Kaido. As she advised him to dodge Zorros attack in the last chapter.
I also don’t think this is gonna be a fight where the 5 vs 2. In time it will morph in Luffy vs Kaido. Just like with Doffy. Maybe Kid and Law will take Big Mom. Zorro vs King and Sanji vs queen.
But Luffy needs some power up. Oda did tease in the last SBS gear 5 and hopefully the awakening of his DP will happen. Otherwise i don’t see how he will win.
The list of fight durations is probably a key aspect for Luffy to make the final jump. Hopefully Gear Fifth or his Gomu Gomu awakening is enough of a power up to get Luffy over this last hurdle. >
I enjoyed this chapter. Though I really need to reread it on my computer because there was too much to see on this tiny screen. That was Kid asking after Luffy, right? Seems as if he does care what a tsundere. Zoro versus Kaido in weather/dragon attacks? Yes please. That interplay was fun. What’s up with just hinting at the hybrid form? So annoying lol. Just show me already. Patience is not a virtue that I possess. I mean, I’ll wait but I don’t have to like it. *pout*
If you are referring to the person that is talking about Luffy early on (the page after Big Mom tries to cut him with a fire slash), it is Big Mom telling them to let her cut Luffy in half (Kid and Killer are in the foreground and Big Mom is behind Kid (the speech bubble points towards her but is in Kid's direction too).
Hahaha...I think all of us want to see how much of a power-up this hybrid form is. And if it is just equal to the average zoan...then the protagonists are well, no need to state it. Best part is that we aren't getting the normal jumping around so it's pretty much a guarantee we get it in two weeks when chapter 1004 gets released. >
I completely forgot that CP0 were on Wano, lol. Is there a chance of some kind of twist ending where they actively get involved, then?
Now Kaido is in hybrid mode I’m expecting the Supernovas to get overwhelmed, at least until Luffy is back on his feet. However at this point, anything could happen. I’m excited to see how the fight plays out!
Hopefully soon, but probably not for this fight since they are all lounging around.
The question is if they can survive the 10 minutes without Luffy. Kaidou is the one fighting more "seriously", so him finally getting serious could go to all hell breaking loose.>
I wanna see that gyoarakaidos form! Ha, funny how he said you challenging me with tornadoos. So both of them are natural disasters.
Yes, and hopefully the blue color scheme continues to match!
This chapter is making me think if Shanks has some sort of natural fire ability too then? Whitebeard had his "natural disaster" through his fruit ability. It would be quite fitting (to me at least) for Shanks, Luffy, Ace, and now Sabo so share the "fire" from their "burning spirits".>
But Oda did mention he found a plausible way for Luffy to defeat Kaido, and he teased about Gear 5 too. I still have the assumption that Luffy is gonna get his devil fruit awakening at some point. Perhaps Luffy will get an awakening or at least gear 5 after the tragedy strikes?
Was there something other than the SBS question you posted?! I think I have time so I gotta go look that up and probably add it on to our collection tonight.>
Also, Luffy getting swallowed by Kaido and Zoro yelling 'don't you dare go eating our captain' is hilarious and also made me go 'awww'
Yes! Zoro doesn't show it much, but he definitely cares (and even for Sanji!)>
Okay so this is a reach and I guess I'm just paranoid lmao, but do you think Yamata no Orochi's tale will play a role here? About the part where Susanoo discovered the legendary katana in its flesh.
My personal bias is yes (it is a reach) in that Oda doesn't use many "details" of a reference/inspiration. There can be key points that are used/incorporated into the plot, but Oda likes to make it his own and thus minimizes the overlap. I think there suddenly becomes too much overlap with Enma and now a second magical/super powerful sword.
Maybe there were some fans in Japan thinking Orochi was still alive, so Oda had to confirm it to keep the plot connected for them. >
Holy shit I forgot about CP0! Nd the flight's heating up too!
I think Oda purposefully implied that the CP0 head was travelling back and forth to visit Orochi periodically based on their "negotiation". We are getting the confirmation that they were staying around (likely because of the Fire Festival). This fight definitely looks like it's going to hit the climax so chapter 1004 should bring a ton of action (if not more than the recent chapters).
