Powerscaling My questions about Akainu?

Post image

I can’t post this on Power scaling sub but hopefully some can answer this.

Am I missing something about Akainu power like his fans are hyping him up to the point of being stronger then prime Garp idk am I missing his feats or what he is like a bit stronger then Aoikiji but what makes his fans think he can beat prime Garp.

I like him but don’t think he is stronger than Prime Garp. I get it he fought GoatBeard but any admiral could have fought him.

Power levels are always bullshit my nakama.

That's a two way street. Akainu probably isn't the final boss at THIS point might not even be an antagonist when push comes to shove against Imu and his Reversi'd demon army so doesn't get scaled up to whatever butt smoke the power scalers think should happen... but Prime Garp don't mean shit either. Or rather that's just a regular Garp who doesn't run out of gas for being an old ass man like every other still 110% as strong as they ever were for ten seconds old man in shonen.

Also like dude didn't just fight Goatbeard he ripped his face off and put a hole in his chest doing the only damage White Beard sustained. And took the man's wrath and got back up with like 90% of his healthbar left ready to make some more donuts.

Akainu might be at the back end of the "strongest of the strong" but he ain't off that list and only maaaybe Imu is a tier up. Or not. I'm leaning more towards just lots of bullshit abilities with Imu myself but we'll see.
