Hopefully they just remake FE6 and 7 together and save data bonuses can give Roy certain skills and supports depending on who you made his mother or something. AceMos posted... that would be idealThat would be an interesting way to not commit to a canon. Hopefully Roy would suck a lot less too with such a feature and promote after Chapter 16 as he does in the fan patch. Compsognathus posted... I guess that technically de-canonizes Eliwood and Hector pairings, but without changing FE6's lore, that was already gonna be the case.Who knows. DodogamaRayBrst posted... How could they possibly remake that GBA FE games and not make them worse?FE6 honestly could benefit from a remake. Roy's ultra-late promotion and generally horrendous hit rates all around in particular are not things that should be praised. The hard modes of FE7 also could benefit from not being so stingy with deployment slots (would require some rebalancing of course). --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses...

Charged151 09/30/25 4:51:11 PM #58 | AceMos posted... they will likely make the florina ending the canon path for her as heroes even pushes that and its the most popular ship for herConsidering what FE7 seemed to push with scenes in the game itself, I always thought Eliwood x Ninian and Hector x Lyn were the intended pairings, particularly the former. Granted, it wouldn't be the first time fan reaction has made IS kind of shift on things. Awakening clearly intended Chrom x Sumia to be canon considering the opening cutscene and a cutscene labeled "Wings of Love" or something where they fly together, but people liked Cordelia way more than Sumia, so Sumia just isn't discussed that much anymore with the outside game fan service going to Cordelia. --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses...

She was literally babby's first waifu for western FE fans and her popularity has always wildly outpaced her significance in game.I expect if FE6 is remade she will be included in some capacity. It does require deciding a canon ending for her though in FE7. That will rock the boat. --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses... Currently Playing: Octopath Traveler 2 |

Which in her game was an S rank bow from her tribe that she couldn't even use realistically. Her Lord promo class did have Bows, but she starts at D rank. This alt was really good.Funny thing is the Murgleis isn't even a weapon in FE7. You only get to use it in FE6, which happens on the same continent but happens 20 years later. --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses... Currently Playing: Octopath Traveler 2 |

Charged151 09/30/25 4:24:45 PM #44 | Hopefully I'm not derailing the topic going into this, but... Compsognathus posted... I have to imagine that training Lyn enough for her to be able to do any meaningful chip damage costs more turns than her chip would save.First off, this is a HHM Ranked Run. Just to be clear. Lyn isn't worth using in any other context unless you just like to use her or whatever. She has speed and can double, but is sword locked and unmounted before promotion and Eliwood (also terrible) gets more use out of the first Heaven's Seal with a mount and Javelin spam. She is forced in some chapters, but usually she can provide utility (recruit Rath/going to Secret Shops) if you don't want to use her. That out of the way, I personally didn't feel that limited by turns in my ranked run, particularly due to handling chapters like Night of Farewells properly which usually gives you a big turn surplus despite coding mistakes such as Hector only chapters having a 0 turn limit (lol). Heck, I had some turns I decided to burn in chapters with arenas to get units I didn't want to use exp which also helps the funds rank (so the extra cost of using Heaven's Seals isn't a concern either). But yeah, the Exp rank is probably the hardest rank to get...hence why people who are experienced (use that term loosely) with FE7 only bother with Lyn and Eliwood in the first place as everyone unpromoted should get exp on that difficulty Compsognathus posted... On Average Lyn needs to be 20/10 before she does even a single point of damage to the final boss.IIRC, I used Lyn's mode to get an amazing Florina (she really helps save turns in some chapters in my humble opinion, particularly in her join chapter) and promoted Sain (not as helpful but great to have). Usually whenever I want to play FE7 I use the same Chapter 10 file for this purpose. I think I got Lyn to level 8 or something with better than average strength. I gave both the Energy Ring and Angelic Robe to Florina though since she is so much more useful, so not too much favoritism. As for Lyn's primary use in HHM itself, usually I just used her when she is force deployed (as I needed to field other units for exp when she wasn't). She was able to consistently double at least. I got the Linus version of Four-Fanged Offense, so probably got her to a decent level by that point and probably capped her level in the arena in that chapter. Eliwood got the first seal so she was inactive until I got the second. I remember just spamming a short bow on her for the extra weapon exp and then mainly having her use a Killing Bow when she wasn't using a Killing Edge. But yeah, she was nowhere near 20/20 by the time of the Final Chapter (20/10 sounds more likely). I even went to The Value of Life gaiden chapter and got her exp against Berserkers and still she wasn't close to capped. By Light, I think her Skill/Speed were around 24-26 and her strength was enough to provide a weak chip to the Dragon (4-6) or something. She also didn't have the speed to double the Dragon due to how heavy the stupid Sol Katti is. But she and Eliwood took the axe morphs and using my whole army strategically, I had the way to Nergel opened by Turn 3, which Lyn helped make possible. So Lyn does have some use in Ranked Runs, although it doesn't amount to all the much mind you. --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses... Currently Playing: Octopath Traveler 2 |

Chip is functionally useless and if you really need it Hector is considerably better for it.I am taking about 1 rounding the Dragon though for ranked purposes. Without any criticals, any chip is helpful even if Lyn's is probably less useful than other candidates. And again, I'm only mentioning Lyn in a ranked context because otherwise you shouldn't use her. --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses... Currently Playing: Octopath Traveler 2 |

Charged151 09/30/25 3:40:29 PM #26 | Compsognathus posted... Lyn with max strength and max speed, which even at 20/20 is unlikely, hits the final boss on normal mode for 8x2 damage per combat. The boss has 120 health.On my HHM ranked run where I used Lyn, I preferred to give her a killing edge and go to town against some of the morphs. Athos got a Luna critical on the Dragon, so her chip wasn't needed, although if you aren't that lucky, she can do that. Probably the one use she has with the weapon. --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses... Currently Playing: Octopath Traveler 2 |

Charged151 09/29/25 11:03:03 PM #62 | A_Good_Boy posted... The type of logia doesn't matter, they all can do it. Katakuri needed observation haki to do it cause he's not a logia, so he needed haki to replicate something that all logias (save for BB) can just do all on their own without too much effort cause he was trying to mimic them. Also, naturally forming ice can shift too. That's why it's not too crazy of a stretch for Aokiji to do it even though his element is more solid than all the others.As long as you have the ability to shift your body it shouldn't matter technically if paramecia or logia. Future sight is more to give you the Intel you need to pull off the "body adjustment". LightSnake posted... I don't really think this is "believe what you like." I've searched on this, checked the wiki, asked people...I assure you I have done the same. I have reviewed manga chapters, searched on Reddit for prior conversations, and looked for SBS/databook entries discussing the subject. I remember back then (during Marineford) that haki nullification was discussed as the leading theory particularly after Marco/Vista's failure to hurt Akainu... LightSnake posted... I dunno, man. Downplaying WHITEBEARD feels wrong to me.It is also why I don't like haki nullification as a theory either. Whitebeard being sick could have weakened his haki though. LightSnake posted... Kizaru is evidence of that.Rayleigh was just not as young as he used to be at that point. He wasn't sick like Whitebeard was. LightSnake posted... Charged, I like you, but this is tilting at a windmill. It's just a logia dodge.That's nice of you to say. Thinking about everything we know now (including info post-Marineford), it does seem like the more likely theory honestly... The most important piece of evidence seems to be the fact Jozu managed to harm Aokiji with haki...which suggests Whitebeard should have been able to pull off the same feat (although it brings into question why Marco/Vista couldn't harm Akainu). https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/2e7819eb.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/6f6e3466.jpg It also looks like Aokiji did have a second or two to react to Jozu, so the "taken by surprise" excuse doesn't seem to work.

Charged151 09/29/25 10:31:55 PM #58 | LightSnake posted... he's an admiral. He knows how to make the effort.I don't think there is too much more to say on the matter. It basically boils down to two possibilities. 1. The hole theory that you put forward. It would explain it nicely, although the nature of Aokiji's fruit (more solid than others) and no other logia user dodging haki blows pulls this off quite in this way (and Katakuri pulls it off with a paramecia and "future sight" advanced observation haki). Closest is Kizaru, but even that is ambiguous. Rayleigh is able to give him a scratch with haki although Whitebeard isn't able to quite replicate this. Also, the nature of Kizaru's fruit just allows for so much quicker speed reaction than Aokiji's does. 2. Haki nullification. There are two parts to this. First, Aokiji used his own armament haki to nullify Whitebeard's. Whitebeard's haki should be stronger, but again, he isn't in the best of health, so it may have something to do with it. Second, the incident occurs in a period of the story when Haki mechanics were still being developed and were retroactively refined by Oda. Since Haki rules werent fully firm, its possible that even a Hakiimbued thrust didn't have an absolute ability to nullify logia-intangibility at this point. Believe whatever you like barring something like an SBS entry or databook mention confirming what is correct. --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses... Currently Playing: Octopath Traveler 2 |

The wound is all misty and cold sorta like how it always looks when Aokiji is showing off his powers."Shrugs" You and LS may be right, although I would like confirmation if it can be found anywhere. Plus, regular Observation Haki doesn't seem sufficient to pull a Katakuri. A_Good_Boy posted... I was moreso referring to Crocodile. He says logias can just shift their bodies. If they're trained up enough then they can react instantaneously based on touch. So they don't necessarily need haki to predict the blow, they can just look and anticipate it.That was specifically in reference to logia intangibility being instantaneous and protecting against regular attacks (which neither Ace or Smoker seemed to have since Luffy barging in by surprise got the better of both of them), but that type of protection has no effect on armament haki since all this "reflex" does is trigger the body to become "elemental" upon being struck which armament haki nullifies. Actually creating holes in one's body takes a more conscious effort. --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses... Currently Playing: Octopath Traveler 2 |

Charged151 09/29/25 9:48:53 PM #54 | A_Good_Boy posted... If he didn't use his powers then we'd see blood and guts coming from that hole instead of ice. It was a scene highlighting the classic trope where a dude pretends to take a hit just so he can grab and incapacitate the weapon; you see the spear come through his back then the scene flips to his front and see it was really a ice hole the whole time and he was fine.Armament haki cancellation is also a possibility even if I don't like it as an explanation either due to Whitebeard likely having superior armament haki. Basically how Akainu avoided being injured by Marco/Vista. I just don't see the hole you mention even when I re-look at that page. There isn't much detail in the single window. Looks solid to me from the front from the very little we can see. Granted, the anime differs in that the spot he got stabbed in appears to liquefy... A_Good_Boy posted... And I don't think observation haki was even necessary to pull that off. Aokiji is standing in front of the guy, there's only a single way he can be attacked with the way WB was holding the weapon. It doesn't take future vision or any exemplary detective skills to figure out where the weapon was going to be thrust in relation to Aokiji's body. We had an arc that took place not too long before Mareineford where the logia antagonist examined multiple times that if you see a hit coming you can just shift your logia body around and the attack misses.Also, you are referring to Enel? Granted, armament haki wasn't a thing at that point. --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses... Currently Playing: Octopath Traveler 2 |

Charged151 09/29/25 9:43:11 PM #36 | Zikten posted... I fully expect Israel to break the peace within a yearIsrael has nukes. I really doubt any country will try to force justice on them...doubly so as long as Israel has America's backing and Israel continues to push back against Iran and its proxies that have killed more people than Israel has in the Middle East. The best bet is Israel may get rid of Bibi and he gets tried for corruption charges and for failing to stop the October 7 attack he had intel on that indicated such an attack was coming. But as for the other people beside Bibi (who would be tried for reasons unrelated to war conduct), I don't think it is likely, especially considering how other countries have gotten away with atrocities in recent times. Plus, considering how Israel and Palestine have been at each other's throats since Israel has been a country (and before), I don't see a huge call inside Israel itself to prosecute people for the conduct of the war in Gaza... FFTHEWINNER posted... I am very much in favor of any plan that ends the massacres going on every day in Gaza. So I definitely hope this plan is agreed upon and becomes the end of the war.

Charged151 09/29/25 9:22:52 PM #49 | LightSnake posted... Cutitng down to make responding easier....I have literally never seen controversy over this before. Aokiji's Logia is also capable of of changing, warping, and even shattering to reform. He didn't no-sell a stab in the heart, and Aokiji has Observation Haki as well (it's stated to be a power ''every'' Vice Admiral and up has).I've seen it come up every now and then in discussion whenever either Marineford comes up or the Admirals are discussed in relation to the Yonko. The more common view at the time of release anyway (way before we knew who Katakuri was) was that Aokiji cancelled Whitebeard's haki with his own (Whitebeard's declining health is a factor in his haki weakening) similar to how Akainu was able to cancel the haki usage of Marco/Vista. The Aokiji made a hole in his body also works...although without proof Aokiji has future sight, the question of how he knew exactly where he would be stabbed comes into question... If someone could find a databook entry on the subject that definitely said what happened, that would be great, although my looking so far has been fruitless. LightSnake posted... Yeah, and again: Whitebeard was distracted and handing a ton at once while suffering major heart issues and a giant stab wound through the chest. This was not him at his best.The Manga honestly isn't clear on if Whitebeard was distracted or not regarding before Kizaru laser beamed him. This is all we get. Chapter 570: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/a383f577.jpg Chapter 571: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/b/b6ee77dc.jpg We don't really see anything that happens between these scenes in the Manga. As Kizaru has Whitebeard's weapon pinned to the ground, we can presume they continued fighting off screen at least a little bit. It implies Whitebeard wasn't distracted as much as Kizaru got the better of him, although I admit it isn't 100% clear. So yeah, I see where there is ambiguity even if Kizaru's bright logia usage should catch anyone's attention even if Whitebeard went back to looking at the execution platform. In the Anime though, there is definitely no distraction. Whitebeard was the aggressor against Kizaru both times and got laser beamed for trying to attack him the second time. And yeah, the question of whether Kizaru shifted his body with his logia power to avoid the strike or whether his own Haki protected him from Whitebeard's haki is a whole other can of worms. In the anime, it does look like his weapon did strike him in his logia light form, although all it did was prevent Kizaru from fast traveling. LightSnake posted... You keep saying "taken by surprise" for Akainu but you aren't using that for Whitebeard himself. Akainu knew full well Whitebeard was there and he tries to fight back. Whitebeard just beats him down. At no point does ANY Admiral face Newgate one on one without massive factors.Akainu was definitely 100% surprised in regards to the attack post-Ace's death. He was warned to look out and all he could say was "Huh?" before Whitebeard smashes him into the ground from behind. Akainu may have still been struggling with Marco for all we know when this happened as the Manga isn't clear (the anime has a unique scene where Marco is knocked out of the way before Whitebeard also gets the jump on him). Chapter 575: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/d5c7a4dc.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/c26bbfe2.jpg As for Whitebeard, based off my readings of the Manga, the only time that any of the three Admirals maybe takes him by surprise is when Aokiji quickly freezes him which Whitebeard quickly shakes off. The Manga doesn't properly clarify the deal with Kizaru (although the Anime shows his isn't distracted). And he never was distracted fighting Akainu, although the first magma punch only landed due to Whitebeard getting the heart attack of course. LightSnake posted... The Whitebeard they fought was old, sick, had a debilitating wound and was facing a whole army himself. Marines, officers, vice admirals, admirals, Pacifista, everything they had. I don't think you're internalizing how much a shadow of himself that Newgate was. To claim he didn't have a good showing is simply not true.Whitebeard only ever succeeded in injuring an Admiral (Akainu) near the end of the war and even Akainu's defeat didn't keep him down for long. For everything before that, he was either using his Guru powers to send fodder flying, was being inflicted huge amounts of damage that he managed to keep fighting threw, or otherwise the Admirals were getting the better of him one way or another. Considering how debilitated he was, it makes sense I guess... "Good showing" is kinda tongue in cheek I admit. Also, I don't believe we ever saw him fighting a Pacifista. As for the rest, I agree that 1 on 1 even old Whitebeard with his bad health and Squard's stab wound could eventually defeat any of the Admirals even if he definitely wouldn't come out unscathed, so...I'll agree with you on that at least. I think we will have to disagree on the 3 on 1 part though. Prime Whitebeard probably could pull it off though. --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses... Currently Playing: Octopath Traveler 2 |

I hate Minus One because it's right wing propaganda and apparently people outside Japan don't realize that and even if you show them all the evidence from domestic critics to the director literally making other right wing propaganda movies and being friends with a neo-Nazi author they just ignore you. It's a well made movie, but the lack of media literacy makes me hate it more than if it was just well made right-wing propaganda and understood as suchThe movie has the point of governments of Japan not caring at all for the lives of its citizens and also criticises WW2 conduct such as forcing its citizens to be kamikaze pilots. That seems like messages the right wing wouldn't want to push. --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses... Currently Playing: Octopath Traveler 2 |

Charged151 09/29/25 3:25:32 AM #44 | LightSnake posted... Bro, he didn't "fail to injure him," read that again. Aokiji turned himself to ice and broke himself before he was stabbed because the attack would've killed him.At the very least, he clearly didn't "dodge it" in the traditional sense. Anyway, being a "solid element" logia, that is a harder claim to make than some of the other logia users unlike say Kizaru who is much more quickly able to dematerialize and move. Whitebeard's weapon clearly hit something as Aokiji is hanging in the air post-attack. And without future sight like Katakuri had, that is harder to pull off as Aokiji wouldn't know exactly where he would be pierced (not saying Aokiji can't have future site mind you, but that hasn't been shown). The anime version of the scene makes it seem like Aokiji is able to liquefy which is odd as he isn't a "liquid" water logia (hopefully that is never a thing), but as that is still technically part of his being, it is still a hard sell to make. Wish what happened had gotten a more definitive explanation. At least partially it could be blamed on haki not being fleshed out well in Part 1 I presume. For instance, we are left to assume (for instance) that Marco/Vista's haki wasn't strong enough to harm Akainu due to Akainu's haki being stronger, but that isn't confirmed either mind you even if it is the most logical conclusion we have (judging by online discussion). Also possible Akainu just moved those parts of his body away by what was said for Aokiji although it makes more sense for a liquid logia (and he certainly failed to pull off the latter against Whitebeard). Not saying the "he made a hole in his chest" theory is wrong mind you, just would like it confirmed somewhere. LightSnake posted... RE Kizaru: Whitebeard was distracted watching over everything was happening between Luffy and Garp and didn't have his eyes anymore on Kizaru after stopping him from going after Luffy. Kizaru just sneak attacked Whitebeard at the time.Seems like an obvious blunder considering he is the biggest threat to knock Luffy down from the platform. Going off the Manga, Whitebeard first stops him from going in Chapter 570 with a slash that Kizaru quickly avoids by dematerializing. In Chapter 571, Kizaru becomes bright and glowy again quickly before he fires laser beams at Whitebeard. Considering how non-discrete his power use usually is, it is surprising. The anime has a different take on it of course (something that happened a lot in this arc regrettably). Whiteboard tried to hit him after stopping him the first time (due to Kizaru badmouthing Luffy) after telling him to get lost. However, Kizaru turns immaterial, reforms, and blasts him. LightSnake posted... Akainu tried to fight back on Whitebeard and got smashed HARD. Again, at no point does a single admiral face Newgate solely.Whitebeard and Aokiji had a segment where just they were fighting (it was a fellow Whitebeard Pirate, Jozu, who intervened) and there was no distraction per say, and Whitebeard was clearly paying attention after quickly dethawing. Whitebeard also wasn't attacked by anyone else when he stopped Kizaru (Whirebeard initiated that confrontation, so clearly wasn't distracted) and later during the segment where Kizaru blasted him. And during the final segment between Whitebeard and Akainu, no one interfered in that (Akainu was the one initially distracted as well). Not sure what you are getting at as he fought all 3 admirals individually however briefly at different times during the war. But yeah, Whitebeard did take Akainu by surprise (as Akainu was second before dealing with Marco). A smart thing to do, but it should be considered. The Manga off screens almost all of Whitebeard and Akainu's initial fight. However, from the anime things are more even (as much as they can be considering he for stabbed before he ever really fought anyone). Whitebeard does manage to kinda knock him back although his heart issues end any momentum he has. And again, nor denying Whitebeard would be capable of defeating any of the admirals in a prolonged 1 on 1 fight. I'll also note that none of Whitebeard's weapon attacks did damage to any of the admirals while it was his bare handed attacks that did do damage to Akainu. A_Good_Boy posted... He literally says that in the panel too.Referring to Aokiji getting stabbed... Aokiji is responding to the part questioning about if he is dead or not. Not if he was stabbed. LightSnake posted... Old, sick Whitebeard beats them all at once with some difficulty. Prime Whitebeard absolutely godstomps themI don't agree with this honestly. If nothing else, none of them are going down quickly without being taken by surprise, and the moment he gets heart problems (with Akainu able to last long enough alone for this to happen) all 3 could attack at once and that would likely be the end of him. Heck, if Akainu pressed the attack instead of getting out of the way to allow fodder marines to attack Whitebeard, Whitebeard would be in trouble. And Aokiji alone was able to handle Garp decently well even if Garp did have the advantage. Similarly, do you think Garp could defeat 3 Aokiji's? --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses...

Charged151 09/28/25 10:43:15 PM #32 | LightSnake posted... Aokiji dodged it. Whitebeard didn't stba him. People said if he DID, Aokiji would've died.You are telling me he didn't get stabbed (with haki at that)? Chapter 567. He clearly got stabbed but somehow it does nothing. Next panel (not shown) Jozu tackles him and causes Aokiji to bleed from the corner of his mouth. I still think it is bad writing more than anything else. Best explanation is Aokiji's own haki was able to nullify Whitebeard's even if the latter should have the stronger haki... <img src="https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/e/ea70990c.jpg"> LightSnake posted... Whitebeard was fighting the entire Marines are all once. We saw how Akainu and Newgate stack to one another when it's actually one on one: Newgate fuckin' WRECKED him.For one point it was... Whitebeard vs Akainu Marco vs Kizaru Jozu vs Aokiji No real interference for a little while. They were at a standstill for a bit. Whitebeard has the heart attack though, Akainu gets a cheap shot in with the magma punch and (more clear in the manga than the anime oddly enough) gets jumped by lots of fodder marines, but Whitebeard manages to shake it off decently (the anime has him come out of this looking worse). Whitebeard later engages Kizaru but Kizaru gets the better of him in their short exchange and Kizaru destroys the key to Ace's cuffs. After Ace dies, Whiteboard gets a surprise attack on Akainu and defeats him, although he lost almost half of his face in the process. LightSnake posted... No, it's not even close. It's just not. Everything in those chapters shows Whitebeard is, by far, the strongest man at Marineford. He is repeatedly called the strongest man in the world, the most dangerous man alive. Everyone who damages him takes pieces when he is literally fighting the entire navy all at once while suffering major health issues. He "didn't get the greatest showing?" He stood a chance of beating all the marines on his own. Akainu gets smashed to bits and Whitebeard almost killed him.The quick victory over Akainu happened with a rage boost and a surprise attack. Otherwise, Whitebeard failed to injure Aokiji with haki when Jozu was able to (still doesn't make sense), and Kizaru got the better of him in their brief exchange. I don't dispute your premise that Yonko (specifically Whitebeard) are stronger than the admirals mind you even after getting stabbed and being sick. Whitebeard shakes off a ton of punishment that would have killed anyone else. Granted, his brief exchanges with Aokiji and Kizaru in particular hurt the argument he was completely dominating. And yeah, the Anime and Manga do portray the particularities of these events differently in a few places, with Whitebeard looking weaker in the Anime in particular. --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses...

Charged151 09/28/25 9:58:59 PM #25 | Vegy posted... Admiral stans trying to say admirals>>>> yonko with dat, but Garp isn't an admiral lolRoger was equal to Whitebeard during their final clash. He considered both Garp and Sengoku worth a challenge so they are presumed in a similar ballpark. We'll throw Rocks in there too who may actually be the strongest of the five although that is very speculative (next few chapters may illuminate things). He is on par if nothing else. All the present day Admirals are below them IMO. The main evidence people reference in the Admiral vs Yonko debate is how Whitebeard did at Marineford, and just to lead off with this, I don't think the writing of the arc is consistent or the best... Whirebeard's declining health and the stab from Squard weakened him before he did anything. He later failed to injure Aokiji with a stab with Haki, yet Jozu was able to cause him to bleed (doesn't make much sense really). He fought equally with Akainu for a bit until the heart attack followed by the magma punch seemed to temporarily incapacitate him. Instead of going for the kill though...Akainu backs off + Marco gets cuffed and Jozu is frozen to boot. The other two Admirals also back off for whatever reason (no good reason is provided). Whitebeard gets stabbed and shot by fodder marines but keeps fighting despite being clearly weakened. Whitebeard has a scuffle with Kizaru that Kizaru comes out on top during, ending with Whitebeard eating laser beams. Bunch of stuff happens with Ace getting rescued and dying. Whiteboard gets shot by lasers again while trying to stop Akainu from finishing off the already fatally wounded Ace. Yet later Kizaru is nowhere to be seen, and the rage boost and surprise from Whitebeard allows him to defeat Akainu (although he pretty quickly continues pursuing Luffy) although half his face gets blown off (Manga). He then defeats Blackbeard with no difficulty and would have killed him if not for Blackbeard's whole crew jumping him. Whitebeard didn't give the greatest showing all considered, but he clearly was not in his prime anymore. He still managed to defeat Akainu in the end though and was on par or better until the heart attack. --- I'm...the...master...of...ellipses... Currently Playing: Octopath Traveler 2 |
