how is post gear 5 luffy weaker than... His previous gear 5..? (you might mean his other gears possibly)
I mean the shriveled up old man form which is post-Gear 5 as in right after he used Gear 5, it's why I showed those panels in the first place.
The truth says otherwise...
I'm accounting for every single fight Kaido had with Luffy and the Worst Generation on top of him holding up Onigashima. Comparably, Luffy reached a death-state which does drain alot of energy, I do not deny that. But Luffy and Kaido do not have the same stamina gauge at all, so Luffy getting more tired would only be valid if it was proven that Luffy's own stamina gauge was equal or greater than Kaido's here.
We know Kaido has insane stamina based on the aforementioned feats, does Luffy have similar showings of stamina here? Cuz him tapping out earlier throughout the rooftop fight kinda shows the opposite iangl and if Kaido has vastly more stamina, my previously mentioned win con is far more plausible here.
Just because he took more attacks doesn't mean he's more exhausted,
Luffy literally died and got
knocked out several times, he
also was very damaged
I feel like taking more attacks and fighting for a longer period of time would lead to more exhaustion based on like, common sense? Also all of these factors are covered by the stamina point I mentioned earlier
Luffy would just
force his heartbeat again, this time much easier because he wouldn't be dead beforehand... As he himself says how
much energy he lost reviving himself
Given that Kaido aims for the head when he uses Thunder Bagua, I sincerely doubt statless old man Luffy would be able to just pump his heart back up after getting hit to revive himself. And even if he did revive himself, he'd be weaker than before by using alot of energy to revive himself, thus Kaido would have a
greater chance of winning using the same tactic; he can just repeat the whole outlast-attack-revive-outlast cycle over and over again until Luffy can't continue anymore by that logic
He was reaction blitzing
via techniques (
while Luffy was already traveling very fast towards him)....
Luffy can do the same... Otherwise
they are relative in speed
That's fine, I was more so arguing Kaido using the blitz technique or movement
after Kaido outlasts Luffy's timer here. Them having relativity in general is undeniable
No, based on what I said above and here:
I elaborated later that it was at the start and the majority of the clash that it was Kaido's flames and not Momonosuke's.
And then this statement also exists
Buns statement, it doesn't necessarily mean Luffy was superior to Kaido in the fight but rather how the fight went (while ignoring the other contexts that allowed Luffy to overwhelm Kaido. This matchup is literally ignoring all the other factors for a 1v1 here).
Post-Gear 5 Luffy
