Yeah I paused when he said katakuri lost his will. No, he didn't lose the will to fight because who he is was revealed. He faced someone who did not care about his laid back(eh) side, luffy only saw him for the rival fight and did not see him as any weaker for it. At that point, part of katakuri's facade starts to crack. No more is he motivated to seem like an unbeatable super-human. His simple wish becomes going all out to show what he's got to luffy, and he goes as far as honorably changing the side he stands on.

@@raphaelnej8387 People are looked down upon for pursuing their dreams though, family members & well meaning friends will constantly urge for more realistic or achievable goals to be pursued. There's an uncertainty involved that causes a lot of people fear, "what if I don't make it?" "what if I waste my time" "what if I can't find a job?" etc. that does make it incredibly brave to go through with it despite the real possibility of you failing, wasting your time, and falling behind in life because you were focused on something that was impossible.
Yes. Having the courage of doing something impossible. I’m not saying that pooping is admirable, or that saving a life isn’t. I’m saying that having the courage of pooping is inherently worth respect. Therefore the fact that having the courage of doing a given thing is admirable does not make that thing admirable. I wish you to have to courage to understand. If you still don’t, rest assured, I will have the courage to repeat.
@@raphaelnej8387 Huh? I think there's an implicit understanding that when something is "brave" it goes along with something admirable. You take things too literally. Is it brave to kill a man? Yes, but nobody uses the word like that. Nobody would say "yeah that murderer was so brave," like come on. Same thing with people with anxiety disorders, it might be "brave" of them to show up to work but nobody is going to say it's "brave" unless they find that action admirable in the given persons circumstances. Doesn't matter how scared they were.
The trick here is that courage is situational while the action it goes along is universal. Dreaming is not courageous in itself. But it can be. Pooping is not courageous in itself. But it can be. (Mad respect to my grandma) "Someone who is brave enough to dream" Is misleading because it describes the action of dreaming as inherently admirable. Luffy’s dreams and his will to pursue them is brave, admirable. But you don’t need to be brave to dream. The sentence implies that dreaming is brave on the basis that Luffy’s way of dreaming is brave. Audience get misled into thinking that dreaming is honorable, while it’s being brave that is. Pooping isn’t admirable. But being brave brave enough to poop is admirable because it implies it’s a struggle. Luffy’s dreaming is a constant effort. Making this effort is brave. Luffy is not brave enough to dream. He is dreaming so much that it's brave.
It’s so cool to me how in the first half of the new world Luffy and his crew were ridiculed for dreaming about such crazy stuff as becoming the “King of Pirates” and actually thinking they could achieve those goals. But in the New World, the truly strong are those who dared to dream. Awesome.
I saw this one now after 3 years. But yeah, Oda even stated in the SBS that Luffy is doing a battle of Wills, not battle of *power* So whenever he wins, he doesn't kill them. He kills/defeat their will/dream.
I’m glad someone else acknowledges this. Something I noticed with One Piece is that the characters don’t win fights because they have the power of friendship. They win out of sheer determination and the as you put it, will power
I would also argue that Katakuri allowed himself to lose because at this point in the fight he was more or less sure Luffy wasn't posing any threat to his siblings. He wouldn't go and beat up Brulle or anything. Which nicely ties back to luffy's answer to "what you would do against opponent that is way stronger than you"?
Been looking for someone like you for a while. I’ve watched one piece for so long and was always so perplexed as to the feelings it gave me, and the emotions it was imbued with. Like those special moments when you can’t help but smile when one of the crew overcomes an enemy they’ve fought for so many episodes. It’s never felt like any other anime’s fights, or those big achievements. And it’s exactly this. Oda has woven nuance and complexity in his seemingly simple story. His characters have so much depth and are developed masterfully, a trait I often miss because I’m usually just looking for the fights. Thank you, sir, thank you.

This continues to be true even with Kaido, a being which is at the absolute peak of physical condition and fighting skill yet has lost most, if not all, of his will.
I will always say that Oda told us the ending of this fight purely with their abilities. Rubber bounces back no matter how many times its hit. But it doesn't matter how hard of mochi you make, the dents and hits will eventually shape and change it. Rubber stays the same while Mochi changes

First full video I've watched of you and you analyzing one piece like you've read Oda Mind, 🙏🏽 you on that totally not mark type of literary analysis 💯
anyone who isnt unbiased will read it katakuri drops his charlotte jacket no longer restrained by his captain's epithet and shows his winged tattoo on his back which respresents freedom something that he doesnt have under charlotte's name bcz big mom disturbs and ruins what he desires most and that is the health of his siblings that big mom holds them under tyranny abusing them threatening ever their lives and the examples are countless dont get me started... he entrusts luffy "are u going to come back to take down big mom?"and since he got the answer he wanted he fell on the ground ON HIS BACK PURPOSELY AFTER HE ALREADY GOTTEN UP proving he could last 1 more round accepting his flaws and allowing him to leave.... katakuri knew even the time where luffy had to meet with his friends... WHY WOULD HE DO WHAT HE DID FEW MINUTES BEFORE THEIR MEETING? INTENT! his intent wasnt to finish off luffy, luffy had to be killed in order for big mom to chill out from her tantrum which led her into kaido's main territory to form an alliance... thats how obsessed she was and kat knew it so he HAD to take luffy's head at wci... therefore he had to "lose" purposely otherwise he would have been named a traitor JUST THINK before you hate on a fictional character at least my guy... after the 1st diced mochi katakuri could simply bury luffy under this endless pit suffocating him and luffy along with snakeman proved they cant get out from katakuri's stickiness and katakuri can just keep producing awakening.... luffy has a flashback with rayleigh ray: "among the most powerful people IN THE WORLD there are those who can see a small glimpse into the future" rayleigh THROUGH THE AUTHOR'S INTENTIONS proves that katakuri is ONE OF THE TOP GUYS with a statement incomparable in comparison to king marco and sanji yet here you are actively hating on a guy that a LEGEND like rayleigh ackowledges him as 1 of the world's strongest... garp who was nearly featless prior to recent chapters was being overwanked BY FKING EVERYONE just bcz it was said that he nearly killed roger and roger nearly killed him countless times... OFC im not comparing katakuri to them, its not even remotely close but rayleigh has spoken and ackowledged him DIRECTLY with a statement significantly superior than anything king, marco and sanji have ever been given sky rocketing his portrayal that only foolish people like u hating on him by neglecting what has been already said in the story FROM OFFICIAL TRANSLATIONS which you dont even know how to get to them and read them to have a full grasp on what is actually happening but somehow you think you deserve to have an opinion let alone having a 10% well grounded one! rayleigh proceeds with "they are tough to beat, what will you do when u encounter one" luffy: "it depends on the character of the opponent, like when u cannot escape" luffy described PERFECTLY his situation with katakuri being trapped in an different dimension proving that katakuri wasnt trying to kill luffy AFTER he stabbed himself... no trident, allows luffy to get back up COUNTLESS times, luffy literally asks permision bcz he knows he cant enter g4 under kat's watch, kat isnt using awakening against snakeman in their 20 min fight and still out performed him there are even more examples like when katakuri tries to submit luffy asking him if he came when he could have already escape "do you want me to train you? did you came back to work under us?" so in conclusion it was all about intention... katakuri respected, liked and entrusted luffy with a task that will essentially liberate him and his family from big mom's tyranny... its even thematic with luffy's entire theme and the meaning liberator which he has been such since the very beggining EVEN HIS AWAKENING is thematic with that DIRECTLY!!! but you lost your mind but not your virginity REALISTICALLY based on the powerscaling thats been established mirror world luffy CANT HOLD A CANDLE against katakuri... not even when he became 1YC caliber katakuri STILL was stronger overall even without using awakening against snakeman "there are things that surpass armament" proving he has abilities of hardening toughness that scale above ANY basic level of armament which scales above ANY type of hardening marco, king and sanji had to offer and im mentioning these 3 because you lick their cock when you compare them against you lord katakuri... IM NOT SAYING HIS COA IS ADVANCED thats different im just talking about the hardening that is provided by armament, katakuri's block mochi scales beyond that and he proved it by name and actuality when he completely overpowered boundman like nothing and the countless times he made luffy scream in pain even in snakeman form after clashing with his fists and luffy was a proficient coa user, he went from ackowledging cracker's armament to getting dumpstered by kat's coa to getting dumpstered by kat's block mochi to have equal clashes with katakuri's power mochi using gear3 and hawk gatling PROVING IN SCALE AND ACTION that luffy's armament progressed through his battle BUT STILL inferior to katakuri's nonetheless... its all about plot armor! based on what we ve seen luffy shouldn get knocked by kaido at kuri in 1 hit while being in bounceman and kaido at base, it should be like 10 hits... its all about plot! (and dont get me started with luffy getting 1 shot by kaido, luffy was enraged hence he couldnt utilize coo so he couldnt dodge) explain why katakuri didnt use his awakening against snakeman then since their outcome wasnt determined by plor armor or intent LIKE EVEN LUFFY CONFIRMS BASED ON HIS FLASHBACK AND THE COUNTLESS EXAMPLES IVE GIVEN U....... that alone SHUTS EVERYONE UP there is no indicator proving katakuri couldnt use awakening any longer he simply was ruined by plot armor AND his intent which luffy explains it through his flashback with rayleigh AND YOU TURN A BLIND EYE TO IT bcz EVERYWHERE I SEE YOU YOU RE HATING ON KATAKURI... you re not a fan of a character, you re not a one piece fan in general, ive seen DOZENS of videos and you re not commenting ANYTHING other that hateful and negative comments towards katakuri making you nothing but katakuri anti fan the only reason katakuri created this "perfect persona" and accomplished this undefeatable streak (superior portrayal once again than sanji, marco, king) was because he wanted to protect his family creating an image that none would want to mess with SO he would easily abandon this persona and that streak if it meant that his family can somehow be free and he took the gamble AND IT WORKED! luffy's strongest ability is that he makes allies and his alliance took down big mom! BE FKING REASONABLE and hop off from this hatred katakuri >= act1 wano luffy > king = marco > sanji #LITERALLYFACT luffy fights the strongest from EACH GROUP including the strongest 1YC of the previous era #FACT haki can transcend all - top 1 kaido #FACT when top tiers are the topic usually people overwank on shanks, garp, roger etc because of their haki BUT WHEN 1YC are compared? no? still no? be reasonable
agreed! kidd = shiki, blackbeard = xebec and law = .......... well law is a straw hat at this point and he doesnt want to admit it just like he doesnt like bread
You do know that conviction is nothing without willpower right???? Because to havve conviction and actually try to achieve your dreams you need to have enough power to be able to rise and look past what others may say about your dreams
I wish luffy in like the nexet few arcs, that he will lose to an upcoming pirate. Even though he is so far into the grand line now, after we've found the one piece or even before that (if we have to head back)..
Thematically I like that Luffy one. Logically we know Luffy should have lost. Luffy won due to plot armour. He took thousands of Haki-infused blows, had his torso ripped open, and kept fighting. Next arc Kaido 1-shots him. Where was his Willpower there? Funny how Luffy has as much Willpower as the plot needs him to have.
100% agreed just ask any katakuri hater why he didnt use his awakening against his 20 min battle against snakeman or ask them if flampee's interference didnt play a major role then why katakuri collapsed after receing luffy's last attack right on the wounded body part? circustances favored luffy DECISIVELY also katakuri received 5 massive hits from boundman back to back when he wasnt calm due to him eating donuts in the mochi shrine and luffy with some chefs saw him eating which is OBVIOUSLY not part of a fair and square 1v1 which led to katakuri's stamina to drastically drop after receiving lasting damage... its just plot armor anyone trying to argue against it 1. hates katakuri even if he doesnt want to say it or 2. he is stuck into his subjective (false) opinion out of stubborness but reality is that opinions are negated by facts 3. has an agenda of fighters that they want to elevate placing them above kat's powerlevel just so they can wank on their loved ones.... yet powerscaling doesnt care about emotions and opinions... for example I HATE YAMATO but i admit she destroys katakuri and beats zoro and even law and kidd... this isnt popularity this is powerscaling but since we re watching a shonen context and intent apart from power level contributes heavily into a final result which is what happened with luffy vs katakuri katakuri simply allowed luffy to live while having to fight plot armor that wasnt even enough so the author had to give him intentions that will benefit luffy's chances for survival... nothing more nothing less kat has a winged tattoo which respresents freedom "are you going to come back one day to take down big mom?" why he calls her big mom? when all his siblings including him call her momma? and why right when he got back up? also why right before the time where luffy had to meet with his friends? katakuri knew even the time where luffy had to meet with his crew? he fell on his back right before that time... he even smiled when he learned that luffy escaped... HOW ON EARTH can he bring himself to finish off luffy who is someone that he likes, respects, entrusted him with his future liberation and also smiles when he heard that straw hat escaped.... everything points towards this obvious outcome that katakuri was ALWAYS superior than luffy even after luffy reached 1YC level FUN FACT: katakuri is the only 1YC caliber combatant who proved in action that he is superior in overall power that a fellow 1YC caliber combatant... zoro scales above that obviously since he folded king in 3 hits and 15 mins while being nerfed and having to hurry
@@okashira073 Exactly, it's so bad Oda actually had to NERF Katakuri's DF so Luffy could win. Remember that a few times during the fight, Katakuri's Mochi became sticky? That's the thing. Mochi is ALWAYS sticky. Katakuri only took advantage of this a few times however, and each time Luffy got stuck to his sticky Mochi, he had no way around it. So Katakuri's Mochi is only as sticky (or not sticky) as the plot (Oda) requires it to be.
Dumbass you seriously cant tell the differnce between katakuri or kaido or are you just dickridng katakuri. No matter how hard katakuri tries to hit luffy he cant have the same effect as kaido. And even after luffys body gave out after kaidos hit he was still glaring at kaido so no his willpower didnt go anywhere. Seriously so much cognitive dissonance you made me call you dumbass.
@@okashira073powerscalers are dumb go back to dbz. You watched this video and you wont understand and a single thing. Why? Because your brain runs on power levels. You wont understand haki(will or ambition). So what if hes got advanced armament thats just an application of haki. If his conviction cant stand against luffys then he was going to lose anyway. Hell his conviction changed after fighting with luffy thats how weak it was relative to luffys. Yeah cant argue my ass if all you do is argue against other powerscalers then of course you think your opinion is a fact. MF theres arguments made against your so called 'facts' that are more convincing than them. Do you know why no one argues with you? No one wants to argue against a powerscaler because no matter how much you play the flute to a cow it wont understand.
Hrishikesh Menon He’ll be the character Luffy has to fight for the title of pirate king. It would make more sense for him to have it. I’m 99% sure he does.
haki is important because oda want power that wont disturb character interactions. nami cant hit luffy head if luffy as strong as goku. so the answer is haki, power system that can be toggled on and off😂
I liked to listen to you talking, but this is one of the videos about one piece of all time. A video so thoroughly about nothing that I'm still processing what I just watched.
Willpower matters too much in shounen but specially in OP. It's frustrating seeing Luffy (and the rest of the good guys) get horribly beaten 10 times in a single fight and get back up; but the antagonist only has to be beaten once and it's over. Makes any injury feel hollow.
Willpower matters when they have the strength to back it up. Luffy could not do anything against Aokiji, even though he had the will to. He had the will to save ace but he could not do it. Injuries don’t feel hollow because they have to recover from their injuries. They get beaten once because their will power was not there, or they were overpowered
But the antagonists don't fall in one beat down? Only the fodder villains do. The stronger ones take a hell of a beating to put down, fucking ULTI survived a Big Mom combo attack and kept going because she was malding over Page One. Doffy's organs were rearranged and Gear 4th was pummeling him brutally for a while. Katakuri was fighting for HOURS and was taking damage the whole time too. None of the relevant villain characters go down easily. Luffy can take MORE punishment than them usually, but they don't go down easily by any means.
i Agree matters too much always seems like only the Strawshats are progressing throughout the story instead of everyone. think his DNA/Gene have more to do with his overall power instead of training. MC's and strawhats are almost immortal aswell. ussop should have be dying along time ago. I stop taking one piece serious after pell survive a point blank nuke.
unpopular opinion: you need a good brain to enjoy and understand the depth of one piece and not just make your brains neurons activate over big powerups and cool moments or say that some fights are just plot armour, it digusts ne when people ridicule this masterpiece
What I like about One Piece is it works on 2 levels. When I first read One Piece I loved all the hype moments and got bored in set up arcs because of lack of action and hype. I enjoyed my first read through, purely by hype and lore and action. After my retread,my mind was blown to say the least. So much clarity and foreshadowing about how characters are going to develop. Huge characters being introduced way before they become even remotely important to the story. As time goes on,I appreciate One Piece more and more and other shonen(except HxH) less and less. I am sure HxH also is of the same category where you can enjoy it on 2 levels.
the outcome of luffy vs katakuri was determined by 2 things: 1. plot armor 2. intent even luffy confirms this during his flashback with rayleigh... he wouldnt survive if kat's character didnt had the intentions he had during their battle and luffy is someone who can sense people's emotions through his high mastery over his coo but what you just said "you need a good brain to enjoy and understand the depth of one piece and not just make your brains neurons activate over big powerups and cool" isnt and shouldnt be an unpopular opinion rather than something mandatory for people to watch AND properly comprehend so GREAT from you honestly!!! HOWEVER... the 2nd part couldnt be more wrong... will is will ok... bounceman luffy gets 1 shot from base kaido... he should have lost to like 5-10 hits come on... im fine with the 1 shot but we cant say that luffy "there are things that surpass armament" thats how katakuri refers to his block mochi informing us that this type of hardening scales above ANY level of base armament which is DISGUSTINGLY powerful considering how important haki is as a power in one piece and incomparable to the haki or any type of hardening people like sanji, marco, king, queen, smoothie etc had to offer or ever showed and from a powerscaling standpoint luffy shouldnt tank arguably thousands of these attacks... and whoever counted 100+ attacks that kat landed on luffy tell this idiot to count the gatlings luffy received with rapid speed IF HE CAN WITH HIS SUBHUMAN EYESIGHT not to mention the off screened portion of their fight in which lasted 12+ hrs.... lastly if its not plot armor then WHY KATAKURI DIDNT USE AWAKENING A SINGLE TIME AGAINST SNAKEMAN IN THEIR 20 MINUTE FIGHT WHEN HE SHOWED NO DRAW BACKS JUST LIKE DOFLAMINGO ON EPISODE 727... its over
@@okashira073 will alone cant win, i know that much, katakuri and luffy were nearly equal in strength and luffy just had greater will thats why he won, its not like he could win against akainu at that time.
@@okashira073 how would turning his surrounding into mochi (awakening) help katakuri anymore vs snakeman? Luffy was literally faster he wouldnt have enough time to.
he lost focus from author which lead to a negative point of view by the audience who cant read anyway and their hatred against kidd was already pre determined... they ll say "OHH look at luffy he has so much plot armor" yet they will also say "ohh luffy now is a top tier" even though presiously they implied it didnt make sense and now they expect someone who was around luffy's level before the coc infusion to get buffed up... they obviously forgot that not everyone is allowed to wear plot armor... luffy is the MC and has 1 crew so they ll be as priviledged as they want meanwhile eustass received what luffy would have received if he didnt had this special treatment but i highly believe he will reclaim this anticipated position... it will be EXTREMELY bad for the story if luffy doesnt have a rival from his era that shares a similar goal or a close to his level combatant... golden era: shiki, roger, big mom, xebec, whitebeard (refering to pirates only) great pirate era: kaido, shanks, mihawk, blackbeard (he became a yonko during the great pirate era and remained a yonko during the yonko saga) current era: luffy........................................... please dont mention buggy FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!
@@okashira073 I mean Luffy had an immense amount of support for him to beat Kaido tho and because Kid, is Kid... He had no one to turn to after the 2nd shanks incident and Kid did escape big mom like Luffy did and took down 4th division commander of a Yonko crew which would equate to someone life Doffy in terms of Physical strength
Will Power matter because whenever my champion get debuff they started healing, it helps with reducing damage from sucide mastery, NOTE don't High hp awakened Warlock while having Will Power active, because Warlock will melt you down Like my comment if understood what am referring to
One thing I love is Luffy not caring at all about katakuri relaxing eating donuts, just wanting to get back to fighting.
Even kaido started to like him during their final fight.
Yeah I paused when he said katakuri lost his will. No, he didn't lose the will to fight because who he is was revealed. He faced someone who did not care about his laid back(eh) side, luffy only saw him for the rival fight and did not see him as any weaker for it. At that point, part of katakuri's facade starts to crack. No more is he motivated to seem like an unbeatable super-human. His simple wish becomes going all out to show what he's got to luffy, and he goes as far as honorably changing the side he stands on.
I was surprised he didnt ask for one either
When Luffy and Branch left the Mirro-World for 10 minutes, I'd like to imagine that Katakuri finished the rest of his donuts and tea while waiting for Luffy to come back...

anyone who isnt unbiased will read it
katakuri drops his charlotte jacket no longer restrained by his captain's epithet and shows his winged tattoo on his back which respresents freedom something that he doesnt have under charlotte's name bcz big mom disturbs and ruins what he desires most and that is the health of his siblings that big mom holds them under tyranny abusing them threatening ever their lives and the examples are countless dont get me started... he entrusts luffy "are u going to come back to take down big mom?"and since he got the answer he wanted he fell on the ground ON HIS BACK PURPOSELY AFTER HE ALREADY GOTTEN UP proving he could last 1 more round accepting his flaws and allowing him to leave.... katakuri knew even the time where luffy had to meet with his friends... WHY WOULD HE DO WHAT HE DID FEW MINUTES BEFORE THEIR MEETING? INTENT! his intent wasnt to finish off luffy, luffy had to be killed in order for big mom to chill out from her tantrum which led her into kaido's main territory to form an alliance... thats how obsessed she was and kat knew it so he HAD to take luffy's head at wci... therefore he had to "lose" purposely otherwise he would have been named a traitor JUST THINK before you hate on a fictional character at least my guy...
after the 1st diced mochi katakuri could simply bury luffy under this endless pit suffocating him and luffy along with snakeman proved they cant get out from katakuri's stickiness and katakuri can just keep producing awakening....
luffy has a flashback with rayleigh
ray: "among the most powerful people IN THE WORLD there are those who can see a small glimpse into the future" rayleigh THROUGH THE AUTHOR'S INTENTIONS proves that katakuri is ONE OF THE TOP GUYS with a statement incomparable in comparison to king marco and sanji yet here you are actively hating on a guy that a LEGEND like rayleigh ackowledges him as 1 of the world's strongest... garp who was nearly featless prior to recent chapters was being overwanked BY FKING EVERYONE just bcz it was said that he nearly killed roger and roger nearly killed him countless times... OFC im not comparing katakuri to them, its not even remotely close but rayleigh has spoken and ackowledged him DIRECTLY with a statement significantly superior than anything king, marco and sanji have ever been given sky rocketing his portrayal that only foolish people like u hating on him by neglecting what has been already said in the story FROM OFFICIAL TRANSLATIONS which you dont even know how to get to them and read them to have a full grasp on what is actually happening but somehow you think you deserve to have an opinion let alone having a 10% well grounded one!
rayleigh proceeds with "they are tough to beat, what will you do when u encounter one"
luffy: "it depends on the character of the opponent, like when u cannot escape"
luffy described PERFECTLY his situation with katakuri being trapped in an different dimension proving that katakuri wasnt trying to kill luffy AFTER he stabbed himself... no trident, allows luffy to get back up COUNTLESS times, luffy literally asks permision bcz he knows he cant enter g4 under kat's watch, kat isnt using awakening against snakeman in their 20 min fight and still out performed him
there are even more examples like when katakuri tries to submit luffy asking him if he came when he could have already escape "do you want me to train you? did you came back to work under us?"
so in conclusion it was all about intention... katakuri respected, liked and entrusted luffy with a task that will essentially liberate him and his family from big mom's tyranny... its even thematic with luffy's entire theme and the meaning liberator which he has been such since the very beggining EVEN HIS AWAKENING is thematic with that DIRECTLY!!! but you lost your mind but not your virginity
REALISTICALLY based on the powerscaling thats been established mirror world luffy CANT HOLD A CANDLE against katakuri... not even when he became 1YC caliber katakuri STILL was stronger overall even without using awakening against snakeman
"there are things that surpass armament" proving he has abilities of hardening toughness that scale above ANY basic level of armament which scales above ANY type of hardening marco, king and sanji had to offer and im mentioning these 3 because you lick their cock when you compare them against you lord katakuri...
IM NOT SAYING HIS COA IS ADVANCED thats different im just talking about the hardening that is provided by armament, katakuri's block mochi scales beyond that and he proved it by name and actuality when he completely overpowered boundman like nothing and the countless times he made luffy scream in pain even in snakeman form after clashing with his fists and luffy was a proficient coa user, he went from ackowledging cracker's armament to getting dumpstered by kat's coa to getting dumpstered by kat's block mochi to have equal clashes with katakuri's power mochi using gear3 and hawk gatling PROVING IN SCALE AND ACTION that luffy's armament progressed through his battle BUT STILL inferior to katakuri's nonetheless...
its all about plot armor! based on what we ve seen luffy shouldn get knocked by kaido at kuri in 1 hit while being in bounceman and kaido at base, it should be like 10 hits... its all about plot! (and dont get me started with luffy getting 1 shot by kaido, luffy was enraged hence he couldnt utilize coo so he couldnt dodge)
explain why katakuri didnt use his awakening against snakeman then since their outcome wasnt determined by plor armor or intent LIKE EVEN LUFFY CONFIRMS BASED ON HIS FLASHBACK AND THE COUNTLESS EXAMPLES IVE GIVEN U.......
that alone SHUTS EVERYONE UP there is no indicator proving katakuri couldnt use awakening any longer he simply was ruined by plot armor AND his intent which luffy explains it through his flashback with rayleigh AND YOU TURN A BLIND EYE TO IT bcz EVERYWHERE I SEE YOU YOU RE HATING ON KATAKURI... you re not a fan of a character, you re not a one piece fan in general, ive seen DOZENS of videos and you re not commenting ANYTHING other that hateful and negative comments towards katakuri making you nothing but katakuri anti fan
the only reason katakuri created this "perfect persona" and accomplished this undefeatable streak (superior portrayal once again than sanji, marco, king) was because he wanted to protect his family creating an image that none would want to mess with SO he would easily abandon this persona and that streak if it meant that his family can somehow be free and he took the gamble AND IT WORKED! luffy's strongest ability is that he makes allies and his alliance took down big mom!
BE FKING REASONABLE and hop off from this hatred
katakuri >= act1 wano luffy > king = marco > sanji #LITERALLYFACT
luffy fights the strongest from EACH GROUP including the strongest 1YC of the previous era #FACT
haki can transcend all - top 1 kaido #FACT
when top tiers are the topic usually people overwank on shanks, garp, roger etc because of their haki BUT WHEN 1YC are compared? no? still no?
be reasonable
@okashira073 I'm astonished by your response. It's nice to see someone who genuinely likes the series and not for the hype.
Great content!
This video so good it gave me chills like Im watching again smoking a cigarette!
wtf boy, you summarize the biggest lesons of one piece in a very good manner, congrats from brazil
As Will, thank you.
Very good video !
Please make a part two to this beautiful video. It’s been 3 years already 😮😮
Katakuri and straw hat
the new whitebeard and roger combo
agreed!
kidd = shiki, blackbeard = xebec and law = .......... well law is a straw hat at this point and he doesnt want to admit it just like he doesnt like bread
it's the conviction one has that one will achieve one's ambition rather than jus willpower
You do know that conviction is nothing without willpower right???? Because to havve conviction and actually try to achieve your dreams you need to have enough power to be able to rise and look past what others may say about your dreams
Bro what this analysis is three years old??? Why didn't I see this earlier lol Subscribed!
These videos are fixing my mind and life as a man
6:53 yeah if he met someone like akainu there instead of aokiji he would have been dead.
How do you get clips from One Piece to use in your videos? I wanna start making my own
this video is amazing
Immense goosebumps from the writing in this vide9
Your making me start reading one piece again.
"In the world of one piece, will is power"
This also literally describes one for all and all for one in boku no hero academia manga.
How exactly? They are powers that are passed on or that steal. Or do you mean that without the right will you can't properly use them?
@@ovidiuvergil i dont think he knows What hes Talking about fr
what, how exactly?
I respect the analysis. However I always wonder if shonen managkas have all this in mind when creating their manga's... at least at first 😅
Great video
willpower is haki.
done
Failure is underhyped. Expectation of perfection does more harm than people realize. Failure is the hard push for improvement
"PEOPLE'S DREAMS HAVE NO END"
Luffy's been poisoned, like a LOT
I wish luffy in like the nexet few arcs, that he will lose to an upcoming pirate. Even though he is so far into the grand line now, after we've found the one piece or even before that (if we have to head back)..
to defeat a yonko you must be a yonko caliber combatant OR you need numbers to overwhelm him and even then they would need to be VERY powerful
Wait does it will like that in one piece matter in real life too
Thematically I like that Luffy one.
Logically we know Luffy should have lost.
Luffy won due to plot armour. He took thousands of Haki-infused blows, had his torso ripped open, and kept fighting.
Next arc Kaido 1-shots him.
Where was his Willpower there?
Funny how Luffy has as much Willpower as the plot needs him to have.
100% agreed
just ask any katakuri hater why he didnt use his awakening against his 20 min battle against snakeman or ask them if flampee's interference didnt play a major role then why katakuri collapsed after receing luffy's last attack right on the wounded body part? circustances favored luffy DECISIVELY
also katakuri received 5 massive hits from boundman back to back when he wasnt calm due to him eating donuts in the mochi shrine and luffy with some chefs saw him eating which is OBVIOUSLY not part of a fair and square 1v1 which led to katakuri's stamina to drastically drop after receiving lasting damage... its just plot armor anyone trying to argue against it
1. hates katakuri even if he doesnt want to say it or
2. he is stuck into his subjective (false) opinion out of stubborness but reality is that opinions are negated by facts
3. has an agenda of fighters that they want to elevate placing them above kat's powerlevel just so they can wank on their loved ones.... yet powerscaling doesnt care about emotions and opinions...
for example I HATE YAMATO but i admit she destroys katakuri and beats zoro and even law and kidd... this isnt popularity this is powerscaling but since we re watching a shonen context and intent apart from power level contributes heavily into a final result which is what happened with luffy vs katakuri
katakuri simply allowed luffy to live while having to fight plot armor that wasnt even enough so the author had to give him intentions that will benefit luffy's chances for survival... nothing more nothing less
kat has a winged tattoo which respresents freedom
"are you going to come back one day to take down big mom?"
why he calls her big mom? when all his siblings including him call her momma? and why right when he got back up? also why right before the time where luffy had to meet with his friends? katakuri knew even the time where luffy had to meet with his crew? he fell on his back right before that time... he even smiled when he learned that luffy escaped... HOW ON EARTH can he bring himself to finish off luffy who is someone that he likes, respects, entrusted him with his future liberation and also smiles when he heard that straw hat escaped.... everything points towards this obvious outcome that katakuri was ALWAYS superior than luffy even after luffy reached 1YC level
FUN FACT: katakuri is the only 1YC caliber combatant who proved in action that he is superior in overall power that a fellow 1YC caliber combatant...
zoro scales above that obviously since he folded king in 3 hits and 15 mins while being nerfed and having to hurry
@@okashira073 Exactly, it's so bad Oda actually had to NERF Katakuri's DF so Luffy could win. Remember that a few times during the fight, Katakuri's Mochi became sticky?
That's the thing. Mochi is ALWAYS sticky. Katakuri only took advantage of this a few times however, and each time Luffy got stuck to his sticky Mochi, he had no way around it. So Katakuri's Mochi is only as sticky (or not sticky) as the plot (Oda) requires it to be.
@@PlanetZoidstar Katakuri stopped sticking Luffy in place after Luffy broke free by eating himself free.
Dumbass you seriously cant tell the differnce between katakuri or kaido or are you just dickridng katakuri. No matter how hard katakuri tries to hit luffy he cant have the same effect as kaido. And even after luffys body gave out after kaidos hit he was still glaring at kaido so no his willpower didnt go anywhere. Seriously so much cognitive dissonance you made me call you dumbass.
@@okashira073powerscalers are dumb go back to dbz. You watched this video and you wont understand and a single thing. Why? Because your brain runs on power levels. You wont understand haki(will or ambition). So what if hes got advanced armament thats just an application of haki. If his conviction cant stand against luffys then he was going to lose anyway. Hell his conviction changed after fighting with luffy thats how weak it was relative to luffys. Yeah cant argue my ass if all you do is argue against other powerscalers then of course you think your opinion is a fact. MF theres arguments made against your so called 'facts' that are more convincing than them. Do you know why no one argues with you? No one wants to argue against a powerscaler because no matter how much you play the flute to a cow it wont understand.
Cool video.
Do you think BB has Conqueror's haki?
Hrishikesh Menon He’ll be the character Luffy has to fight for the title of pirate king. It would make more sense for him to have it. I’m 99% sure he does.
To me the final battle has to be a 3 way battle between luffy bb and akainu
@@HotBoySpicy agreed!!!
people saying he doesnt have coc or shouldnt get it have lost their minds....
sometimesi forget just how much luffy has shortened his life span by now
In my opinion this is why perona is the strongest person in the world
instant sub 😤🫡
This video proves you can say a lot without saying anything.
The analysis might've been above your iq threshold. Quite unfortunate.
@@HotBoySpicy spicy comeback
haki is important because oda want power that wont disturb character interactions.
nami cant hit luffy head if luffy as strong as goku.
so the answer is haki, power system that can be toggled on and off😂
What happened to the first vid bro?
The Luffy video? I deleted it. Didn't like it. I'm coming out with a waaaayyy better Luffy analysis soon though
Hoping it comes soon.
@@HotBoySpicy Jesus hot boy get your shit together
Great video, but still don't know who Will is....
I liked to listen to you talking, but this is one of the videos about one piece of all time. A video so thoroughly about nothing that I'm still processing what I just watched.
Sounds to me like you are below a certain iq threshold. Quite unfortunate
holy crap, it just came to me; what if Katakuri is big mom and Shanks son!!! 🤯🤯🤯 think about it, the red hair, the insanely superior haki... wtffff
💀💀
The red hair isn’t even similar red,the ages don’t work at all and kat’s expertise is observation and shanks’s is conqueror’s
Willpower matters too much in shounen but specially in OP. It's frustrating seeing Luffy (and the rest of the good guys) get horribly beaten 10 times in a single fight and get back up; but the antagonist only has to be beaten once and it's over. Makes any injury feel hollow.
Willpower matters when they have the strength to back it up. Luffy could not do anything against Aokiji, even though he had the will to. He had the will to save ace but he could not do it. Injuries don’t feel hollow because they have to recover from their injuries. They get beaten once because their will power was not there, or they were overpowered
But the antagonists don't fall in one beat down? Only the fodder villains do. The stronger ones take a hell of a beating to put down, fucking ULTI survived a Big Mom combo attack and kept going because she was malding over Page One. Doffy's organs were rearranged and Gear 4th was pummeling him brutally for a while. Katakuri was fighting for HOURS and was taking damage the whole time too. None of the relevant villain characters go down easily. Luffy can take MORE punishment than them usually, but they don't go down easily by any means.
i Agree matters too much always seems like only the Strawshats are progressing throughout the story instead of everyone.
think his DNA/Gene have more to do with his overall power instead of training.
MC's and strawhats are almost immortal aswell.
ussop should have be dying along time ago.
I stop taking one piece serious after pell survive a point blank nuke.
unpopular opinion: you need a good brain to enjoy and understand the depth of one piece and not just make your brains neurons activate over big powerups and cool moments or say that some fights are just plot armour, it digusts ne when people ridicule this masterpiece
What I like about One Piece is it works on 2 levels. When I first read One Piece I loved all the hype moments and got bored in set up arcs because of lack of action and hype. I enjoyed my first read through, purely by hype and lore and action. After my retread,my mind was blown to say the least. So much clarity and foreshadowing about how characters are going to develop. Huge characters being introduced way before they become even remotely important to the story. As time goes on,I appreciate One Piece more and more and other shonen(except HxH) less and less. I am sure HxH also is of the same category where you can enjoy it on 2 levels.
the outcome of luffy vs katakuri was determined by 2 things:
1. plot armor
2. intent
even luffy confirms this during his flashback with rayleigh... he wouldnt survive if kat's character didnt had the intentions he had during their battle and luffy is someone who can sense people's emotions through his high mastery over his coo
but what you just said "you need a good brain to enjoy and understand the depth of one piece and not just make your brains neurons activate over big powerups and cool" isnt and shouldnt be an unpopular opinion rather than something mandatory for people to watch AND properly comprehend so GREAT from you honestly!!! HOWEVER... the 2nd part couldnt be more wrong... will is will ok... bounceman luffy gets 1 shot from base kaido... he should have lost to like 5-10 hits come on... im fine with the 1 shot but we cant say that luffy
"there are things that surpass armament" thats how katakuri refers to his block mochi informing us that this type of hardening scales above ANY level of base armament which is DISGUSTINGLY powerful considering how important haki is as a power in one piece and incomparable to the haki or any type of hardening people like sanji, marco, king, queen, smoothie etc had to offer or ever showed and from a powerscaling standpoint luffy shouldnt tank arguably thousands of these attacks... and whoever counted 100+ attacks that kat landed on luffy tell this idiot to count the gatlings luffy received with rapid speed IF HE CAN WITH HIS SUBHUMAN EYESIGHT not to mention the off screened portion of their fight in which lasted 12+ hrs....
lastly if its not plot armor then WHY KATAKURI DIDNT USE AWAKENING A SINGLE TIME AGAINST SNAKEMAN IN THEIR 20 MINUTE FIGHT WHEN HE SHOWED NO DRAW BACKS JUST LIKE DOFLAMINGO ON EPISODE 727...
its over
@@okashira073 will alone cant win, i know that much, katakuri and luffy were nearly equal in strength and luffy just had greater will thats why he won, its not like he could win against akainu at that time.
@@okashira073 how would turning his surrounding into mochi (awakening) help katakuri anymore vs snakeman? Luffy was literally faster he wouldnt have enough time to.
@@okashira073 the rest of what you said i agree
I find it kinda sad that Kid got upstaged by Katakuri and Law, retrospectively the worst rival in Shonen
he lost focus from author which lead to a negative point of view by the audience who cant read anyway and their hatred against kidd was already pre determined... they ll say "OHH look at luffy he has so much plot armor" yet they will also say "ohh luffy now is a top tier" even though presiously they implied it didnt make sense and now they expect someone who was around luffy's level before the coc infusion to get buffed up... they obviously forgot that not everyone is allowed to wear plot armor... luffy is the MC and has 1 crew so they ll be as priviledged as they want meanwhile eustass received what luffy would have received if he didnt had this special treatment
but i highly believe he will reclaim this anticipated position... it will be EXTREMELY bad for the story if luffy doesnt have a rival from his era that shares a similar goal or a close to his level combatant...
golden era: shiki, roger, big mom, xebec, whitebeard (refering to pirates only)
great pirate era: kaido, shanks, mihawk, blackbeard (he became a yonko during the great pirate era and remained a yonko during the yonko saga)
current era: luffy........................................... please dont mention buggy FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!
@@okashira073 I mean Luffy had an immense amount of support for him to beat Kaido tho and because Kid, is Kid... He had no one to turn to after the 2nd shanks incident and Kid did escape big mom like Luffy did and took down 4th division commander of a Yonko crew which would equate to someone life Doffy in terms of Physical strength
This is a great video to watch on acid.
DELETE
Will Power matter because whenever my champion get debuff they started healing, it helps with reducing damage from sucide mastery, NOTE don't High hp awakened Warlock while having Will Power active, because Warlock will melt you down
