One Piece

[Reizilla]

But... but... we already know who's going to win then

 

[Phoenix Lord']

Yeah, people would be stupid and vote for Ace to beat Akainu despite the fact that he would totally magma punch him right in the chest.

 

[Reizilla]

Aokiji will also definitely beat Akainu this time.

 

[Phoenix Lord']

Not if his magma punches have anything to say about it.

 

[john!]

it's impossible to have a strength contest without people voting for their favorites

it's possible to have a popularity contest without people voting for the strongest (unless the strongest are also their favorites)

 

[Virgilijus]

And this isn't an official contest with anything on the line. This is a contest for fun.

 

[NinjaFoxX]

finally caught up after not reading for a few months.

 

[DerpDaBerp]

As the guy who essentially halted the anime fights thread a while back (rofl), I will make sure to scrutinize arguments from either side to filter out fan exaggerations >

 

[theeboredone]

I tend to forget a lot of details, so I'm just gonna bandwagon on someone else's picks.

 

[Reizilla]

I'm still more in favor of a popularity tier list thing, but it'll be fun either way! >:]

 

[Hot_ArmS]

Lets do it

 

[Reizilla]

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

So white beard is going to take this right?

 

[Hot_ArmS]

what id be interested in is if dragon or roger come into discussion

we dont know how powerful they really are, we just assume they actually are super powerful because of their status

 

[DerpDaBerp]

hmm yeah.

I also think another problem would be trying to justify the potential of powers that haven't really been shown in the series to do as much as we think they ought to do
I admit, the sole example I had when thinking this was Buggy. Cuz tbh, I love his power, and I think it should be able to do badass stuff. But I couldn't seriously say he'd beat Mihawk or something.

So point being, are our arguments limited to whats been showcased in the series, or can we elaborate ourselves?

 

[asianaussie]

take the characters' own intelligence into account, nobody can perform a move they don't know about/haven't the creativity to come up with

 

[DerpDaBerp]

but right there you get into a war about what they have no reason not to be able to do.
which I guess means that we may as well not even include people that don't know haki, which cuts down a huge number

 

[theeboredone]

I would just go on current status if we're doing this. A person can have more potential than someone else, but there maybe factors that prevent said potential from coming out.

In this case, Buggy is being prevented by plot/comedy relief.

 

[DerpDaBerp]

again, far more than half the character line-up is prevented by them not showing up post-time skip yet

 

[Reizilla]

Whitebeard would still whoop them all anyway.

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

Hawkeye is stronger thn shanks (have at me)

 

[theeboredone]

What's gonna happen when One Piece is found.

Spoiler

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Do Brook's puns make more sense in Japanese?

 

[Reizilla]

If you're talking about the skull jokes, I don't think so. They're based off of him not having [insert organ here]. Which I would assume works in both languages.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Oh, so they are just suppose to be lame throw ins? It feels forced in English, which is why I assumed it might have been a cultural or translation error

 

[Virgilijus]

Chapter 674 is out

 

[Reizilla]

I think Brook's skull jokes are the best running gag in the series.

 

[Espy Rose]

Just finished reading it. Proooobably gotta read it a few more times.

 

[DerpDaBerp]

I just... they need to switch nami and sanji back, or somehow make their condition relevant cuz I'm hungry for straw hat *** kicking

 

[Espy Rose]

Yeah, everything so far has been kinda pubstompy against them.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

People complain about FI was too onesided and complain when the strawhats get pubstomped

What i'm really interested in is who's going to fight who in this arc, there's just not enough enemies for each strawhat. There's ceasar, Virgo, Monet, and slime.....maybe smoker and law.

Luffy vs ceasar is a throw in

Virgo vs law?
Virgo vs smoker?
Virgo vs zoro?
Money vs zoro?

Nami vs tashigi

 

[Espy Rose]

Someone's complaining?

 

[Ussi]

Today is Tuesday right? My entire has been messed up because I started the day thinking it was wednesday. Manga being updated today did not help

 

[theeboredone]

It's one thing I've honestly noticed for quite a while when it comes to these rescue/all out fighting arcs. The fights always start out one sided, which is a bit irksome if you ask me. It's just a means to extend the arc/plot.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Read Eyeshield 21. Now THAT'S where the starting off loosing and winning at the end get's annoying.

Happens in every match

 

[theeboredone]

Yeah, I have watched the anime. Stopped after the first tournament. OP just keeps it fresh in someways, cause they aren't limited to just football.

 

[Ussi]

One piece does it all.. Steam rolls on both sides and even trades at others. Then there is classical dbz style of powering up a level to swing the fight in your favor! Having the enemy do it back for even longer fights!

 

[asianaussie]

eyeshield 21 is great man, haters gon hate

 

[Strawhat64]

Oda need to stop making broken characters in this anime.
"Oh, I can control any type of Gas from a certain distance."
when you mean certain distance, you mean the whole island, right?

 

[Hot_ArmS]

I think he can only control gas as long as he makes himself solid, kinda like how tobi can only suck you in if he materializes.

I noticed that when brownbeard hit him and he turned into gas nami and usop could breathe again.
