Sakazuki is an absolute terrifying antagonist, actually, the very same goes for Kizaru as well. I don't want neither of these guys chasing after my ass.
still don't understand why so many people downrate akainu because of his fight against whitebeard. i always thought it is incredible that he was able to turn around so fast and deal such an devastating attack in an disadvantage situation. i cant imagine which other character could pull of such a feat. akainu is a monster.
*The reason why ace fault that he died* *1)* Whitebeard told him not to go after Teach, but he did, ignoring his captains orders. *2)* Then he lost to Blackbeard. *3)* His entire crew, brother and all of his friends were dragged into the war to save him, nearly everyone dies, they save him and he gets baited by some trash talk 🤦♂️
Agreed. Ik people love Ace but he was a moron. He didn't have to die. And so many people died for him. All for nothing. Ik it was progressing the story (for Luffy mostly) but still...
Teach cannot turn into darkness since we have always seen him in broad daylight, that would be his natural weakness. Therefore I'd say that he could potentially become darkness but only without any light source, hence the black curtain dropped on Whitebeard.
@AMV Subs All that talk yet WB wasn't even fazed by that attack. No human being should be alive being hit with the same pressure as an island busting attack either. Let alone twice. Akainu was also left struggling to stand and fall while WB just stood idle when he could've easily killed off someone who killed his son. Now you know what plot armour really is lol.

I'm a member of the OP community for a very long time, and Sakazuki is one of those characters that people keep respecting more with each passing arc, despite not even being relevant in the story. Remember times where the consensus was that he gets slapped by the Yonkou to equally fighting to getting put above even some of the Yonkou.
@nG I DoMe Going by actual logic based on devil fruit powers, Kizaru should be the strongest in the world. Light makes him weightless so he could fly thousands of meters into the sky and rain down relentless beams of explosive light. He can also move at lightspeed and float above the sea. There's no way any other character should beat him.

@@hangover4833 same.

I think it's evident that Oda wants Akainu to be the final villain even though he won't be simply because BB exists and the foil parallels between him and Luffy are too great. I personally think Akainu would make a better main antagonist. He's ruthless, has an absurd understanding of what justice is and went on a rampage in pursuit of Luffy right after murdering Ace. His DF power is so damn cool as well. I mean BB with his darkness power and WB's fruit is top 3 best combinations of powers, but Akainu can melt literally anything with magma. That's amazing.
Akainu doesn't agree with the 5 Elders methods, him being in Sword is highly possible. His *Absolute Justice*, isn't as one dimensional as we may have seen. Akainu still prioritises *Justice*.
Ragnork 101 thats the problem with his justice no process of trials to prove themselves, he fights and kill without knowing why they should be killed just because he was entitled to what he think is right, imagine killing the supposed to be the CRIMINALS but those people doesn’t even hold a knife to fight them, why a strong man doesn’t even question why they should be killed like a pig specially this people are not near harmful to pirates . Innocents even killed during that time.
xenopiece But that is Absolute Justice in his eyes, it’s a subjective term. Knowledge is Power, therefore in his mind, they had to be eradicated. He follows his own path and has his own justification for the things he does. In his ideal world, he would be taking orders from no one.
@white america's worst nightmare none of them did fight garp and sengoku garp gave marco a punch thats it sengoku and garp were fighting BB And look at Yonko clashes between yonkos the sky splitts always showing that the yonkos are all in their own league nobody can beat them 1 on 1 akainu needed 10 days or what to beat Aokiji
I am not sure how strong he is in New World. As we already saw, lightening does not affect a lot of people here lile the minks and beast pirates. Also Luffy did say that there are lot of people on the sea who can kick his ass!
@@convoluted_turtle Because Eneru himself is weak. He has no Armament Haki and he doesnt know how to fight. But if someone strong like Shanks would have the Goro Goro no Mi then he would be waaaay stronger than he already is.
@Pixel Smile his combat skills and armament haki are lacking. if he had armament haki and full control over the heat his devil fruit can produce, he wouldve melted luffy and demolished him. he was only whooping fools left and right because of his fruit, not his own power.
Akainu could have came up in the marines with dragon. Maybe there was a love triangle involving luffy's mom. Who died because of the WG. Causing dragon to lead ther revolutionary army.
So, Akainu could find the onepiece in a year, if he: left the marines, goes incognito, gathers intell for a while and then speedruns trough everything that he (feels like he) needs to do. Kind of seems like aokiji might be doing this.
"If Akainu was main character, he would find the one piece in a year" Honestly I took it as Akainu has the resources not just the power to find the one piece. People look at the statement solely based off of his strength which I don't think is the case. The man has 3 admirals under his command which is beating Any Yonkou's top 3 commanders. More ships than any other force in the series which he can use to deploy troops quickly and buster call places. A shit ton of Pacafista that if the goal was to find the one piece im sure they'd ramp up production and make even more, whatever the Hell the SSG is, probably more military bases then Yonkou territories, probably the best intelligence network in the series, backing by the freaking World Govt.. how could he not find the one piece in a year with all these tools at his disposal?
People dont give akainu his respect ....he wrecked everyone in marine Ford....he took a haki quake quake sneak attack to the face got up and continued to wreck everyone..... If he isnt yonko level he is 99% yonko level....
@@MrMidnight007 i dont recall him being "afraid" of shanks....he was certainly surprised by his arrival ...which why wouldnt he be....any top tier would be similarly surprised by the sudden arrival of another top tier.....it was akainu that backed down it was sen goku who called an end to the battle....akainu follows orders
@@m.phoenix1399 Sabo managed to become No.2 in the Revolutionary Army without the Mera-Mera no Mi. We do not know if the Revolutionaries are equal to the crew of a Yonko. It wouldn't be too far out of possibility for Sabo to last longer than Ace did.
Oda said that if akainu was a pirate he would get to op in 1 year. UA-camrs - oh i see you are saying that if akainu was a pirate he would get to op in 1 year thanks to his devil fruit Oda - bruh.
One Piece fandom isn’t the brightest, and they can’t read between the lines. Give them some time as they need to have everything spoonfed like children. Oda chose Akainu as an example for a reason. The fandom adds random nonsense and tries to twist what Oda says while it’s very simple; Akainu has the highest offensive devil fruit (*highest* - not highest tier). If Akainu was the main character, *HE* (again, not HE and the marines - HE) is so powerful, he would find the One Piece and become Pirate King within a year. This simply means that Akainu is so powerful that he would bulldose through the Marines, Shichibukai, Supernova, Yonkou, find the poneglyphs, locate Laugh Tale, and get the One Piece all WITHIN one year, and NO ONE is able to stop him. One Piece fandom wants to twist or add to Oda’s words, but it’s very simple to interpret.
Akainu seems to respect Dragon in some way or another...he referred to Luffy as "son of Dragon". Dragon and Akainu might know each other from back in the days. They are both extremely mysterious but very determined.
@@mightyso9281 You can respect your enemy and still want to defeat him/his allies. Garp and Roger were enemies and tried to kill each other and yet they trusted each other in some way. I don't say that Akainu and Dragon have the same kind of connection but then again... We don't know anything about their past. We'll see.
I remember that what Oda said was that the ambition/determination of Akainu was so remarkable, that if he was the protagonist, he would find the One Piece/Raftel (I hate Laugh Tale) in the first year of his journey
@@nickjohnson02 i think its classic misdirection. More like a symbolic representation of SWORD and Akinu will both be playing a major role coming up and that maybe they'll share a few ideals or something along those lines.
My gosh, everything connects. The backstory between Sakazuki & Dragon, O'Hara. The contrast of Fire & Air. You're always on point! That's why I love watching your videos. Amazing Job Sawyer!
Little theory: Akainu will turn against the government when he will know about Im sama and the Gorosei lying to him. Remember how pissed off he was when they fake Doflamingo's title getting withdrawn. I believe, he will turn on them, not necessarily going with the pirates or Luffy, but more as the Secret Sword organisation. Also he is for the ultimate justice, he will be outrage knowing that the justice he carried all this years was a lie.
So glad you're doing these type of videos now that most manga series are on hold. One can really dive into the world without reading / watching the series again. Great quality :)
I'm still waiting for Kong to come back to the story. He's the only one placed in hierarchy between the Gorosei and the Fleet Admiral and has a unique character design.
Dragon vs Akainu would be hype. overall, good insight. i hate theory videos, but i watched yours because you never disappoint in your reviews and you teach me so much every time.
I've always interpreted that quote from oda as him saying that akainu just being the protagonist of his own story not being the protagonist of one piece as we know it
Watching this video has reminded me that we still haven't seen the Aokiji vs Akaini fight. Oda needs to dedicated 2 volumes to that fight and the circumstances around it.
We will never see that fight. Some secenes maybe but never the full fight. He cannot show their full strength and techniques before their final fights.
“Ace turns back to fight akainu and you know the rest”..yes Ace defeats him, reunites with his brother and they find the one piece together. Love a happy ending
Akainu was cut a lot during marine ford and at some point he commented that they were haki users so that brings into question... haki no work on akainu ? tf ?
Great discussion, really interested to seeing more of Akainu and his psychology later on ! Inner conflict with the world gov should be great to see too
I feel like the world government used to wipe out villages pretending to me pirates so they could recruits from being orphaned. And few of them become like Akainu and Robb Lucci
Vegapunk is going to be key to the WG's ability to create/manifest devil fruits. My guess is they're keeping him well protected, maybe even prisoner, and probably knows all the evil stuff they're up to behind the scenes. He probably even wants to escape from them, and will no doubt become a Luffy follower XD
Awesome a video from this channel that love so much right on my birthday too . I hope & wish everyone out there a truly wonderful day & nite wherever y'all are in the 🌎world stay safe peace out stay healthy remember to keep your hands washed peace out 😊✌ p.s my apologies for the long comment
If One Piece would be a western production I could totally see them making Dragon and Sakazuki a gay couple in the past. Thank God the Japanese are still a bit more "traditional" 😅
Akainu is strong, but there are some characters in the series whom I'm not sure if he can or can't beat like Kaido, Rayleigh and Shanks. Not sure about shanks because we've never seen his true power yet. Theory says that his Kenbushoku is far more stronger than Katakuri that he can see straight far into the future. Or maybe he's actually like King from OPM, having an intense luck.
What if Kaido is like doomsday. He has been fought and defeated by the top tiers before and 'evolved' to a point where no Single top tier he has fought before can beat him e.g. Akainu.
Akainu would melt Rayleigh and Shanks. Oda said that Shnaks is strong as an admiral. Yonkos are just admirals of the sea. Yonkos aren't above admirals and admirals are not above Yonko.
@@yonkobuster112 have you ever seen Shanks and Rayleigh's full power? Pff, Akainu is just a bigmouth who says he's going to destroy this guy and that guy but in the end he destroys no one. He couldn't even beat a sick old man by himself.
@@justarandomguy7536 akainu got thrown out of marine ford and nearly fall to the sea. If they were to fight alone without the disturbance from marines, hundreds of cannons pointing at wb, or even squardo's sword, Akainu would have died. That old man WB was sick, but Akainu still couldnt bring him down.
@@justarandomguy7536 punk hazard. he couldnt even kill a mere admiral. plus, he didnt even want to, thats why it took so long. Akainu could turn half of the island into a blazing hot place because no one was there except him and Aokiji. WB could destroy the entire Marineford along with Akainu but he didnt bcz his comrades were there.
Sawyer, actually it took Roger less than 1 year to find the one piece once he learned about the poneglyph etc.... You sure look into that one more time.
I like that Idea of Akainu fighting Dragon it would be Absolute Justice vs Freedom which is seen all over the place in One Piece. Keep it up Sawyer Love your Vids
great video man, And I can’t wait to see Zorro go all out how dope would it be if the last fight of this ark it’s a two V one Luffy and Zorro going all out vs. kaido imagine the level of growth they would have
Regarding the sword thing: I honestly hope he is part of it, besides having a wonky ass tattoo compared to his other bad ass tattoo, his motto of absolute justice would make no sense(to me) if it's "the establishment's" justice instead of his own. I think having him believing he is the only one able to impart justice is far more interesting than: "government good" mentality. It would also make an interesting development after sword reveals itself against the higher corrupted powers but Akainu back stabs them because they're not completely in his favor.
You seem to forget Akainu is 55 Luffy is 19, he’s had his whole life to get this strong, Luffy is just getting started and *probably* on par with Akainu when he was 19. So of course a now 55 year old can get the one piece in less than a year, don’t you think a 55 year old Luffy could?
that's because he is a main character in a shonen manga. The protagonist has to be under 20 to cater to the target demographic which is teens to young adult males. If it was more Realistic, luffy should atleast be in his mid 30s to take on the strongest by the end of this series.
It's funny how Akainu is so badass and has a deep hatred for pirates, yet he was standing inches away from Shanks and he was thinking.. I want none of that
Kinda over-hyping Akainu much .. BB ran away from Akainu because wouldn't be worth it to fight him since he could sustain heavy losses, doesn't mean he didn't think he couldn't beat him. Akainu completely shit his pants when he saw Shanks imagine Dragon ..
Akainu did not shit his pants dumbass. Akainu was not even afraid of Whitebeard who was said to be the strongest man alive, then why would he be scared of Shanks ?
Talks about items you shouldn't get early in a game that trivialize the challenge. *Remembers getting The Black Knight Great Sword in Undead Burg.* Yeah that can definitely happen. To those that don't know this is a Dark Souls 1 reference and the BKGS is an endgame weapon that be maxed out before even the halfway point of the game if you're lucky with drops, and even if you don't level it up at all(which is unlikely) it's still overpowered up until the halfway point(which is exactly where you get a merchant that sells you an unlimited supply of it's upgrade material if you want to spend the cash and were unlucky).
I believe the logia awaking is hinted by the weather in Punk Hazard! Aokiji and Akainu fought there for 10 days that’s why the weather there is half ice half fire! Logia awakening changes the whole weather of the place
6:16 ok but that marine was running away while his comrades fighting the pirates and the other marines had familys too and i think he deserve what happen to him what should akainu do just let him runn?
I know it is speculated from the Rocks pirates flag that Rocks D. Xebec consumed the Yami-Yami No Mi therefore Xebec was capable of having multiple powers but people speculated the flames to be that of Ace's mera-mera no mi but I think its Magnu Magnu no mi and when Xebec either died or disappeared Garp got the fruit and then Kong once again summoned Garp to be promoted but he refused so the fruit remained in the custody of the admiralty then being Sakazuki got promoted to Admiral he chose the magma fruit as the Rocks Pirates laid waste to Sakazuki's homeland. He did this as a form of revenge.

Akainu has currently shown to be the literal most durable character so far. Literally still fought after receiving 2 pointblank quake hits that literally split the island and if we are being honest. Whitebeard was losing on their fight and only had the opportunity to hit him when he killed ace and lowered his guard on Whitebeard. Without that the entire fight was all on Akainu's favor which is nuts cause that's a Yonkou he was fighting not some Yonkou commander. Remember during the marineford war ? At some point after the two hits from Whitebeard he basically fought almost every single Yonkou Commander under and a bunch of haki users on their ranks. They were all doing zero damage. Can you imagine all of Kaidou's highest ranking officers fighting one character and doing absolutely nothing. That was the equivalent of what Akainu did. Not even Katakuri was that broken as Katakuri was merely dodging but haki still works on him. Akainu was ignoring haki hits as if it does nothing to him like he was doing what Kaidou did with luffy.
I rrrrreally can’t see Akainu taking on Big Mom. I’d lol if she just turned his own gigantic magma attacks into Prometheus juice or Homies. Her power seems to be a logia nightmare in many cases lol
Akainu's attacks have enough explosive force to clash with Whitebeard's shock waves. I for one can't see someone as big and slow as Big Mom taking an eruption to the face.
GDN Why couldn’t she from your perspective? Doubt she fears Akainu, and I see no reason-assuming Zeus returns-a special “blizzard” homie turned hurricane when paired with Zeus would be any fun for the admiral, and there’s still the tank lady herself. He’s still just one person.
Akaniu could take on Big Mom. Yonkos are not that strong,Once u get too the top tier there is not much difference in power and strength. Jinbei even knocked Big Mom back.
Akainu Sakazuki Yonko’s aren’t that strong? Kaido-a guy whom was “knocked back” by Luffy-is considered the strongest critter on the seas. Big Mom clashes with him for days before establishing an alliance. What lead you to your conclusion?

Oda confirmed akainu as the strongest.. if he was a pirate he would be pk in 1 years..thats basically how long it took gold d roger
yah he have everything that luffy don't
Brain Sells !
@george gest so your opinion are more relevant than facts? Got it
@@gargola1887 Kaido is stronger than Akainu thats a fact thats obvious
@@salah7711 you mean cell's but ok
@white america's worst nightmare none of them did fight garp and sengoku garp gave marco a punch thats it sengoku and garp were fighting BB
And look at Yonko clashes between yonkos the sky splitts always showing that the yonkos are all in their own league nobody can beat them 1 on 1 akainu needed 10 days or what to beat Aokiji
Akainu: justice is absolute
Fujitora: justice is blind
Civil War
Lol
His justice is moral not blind
Speaking of overpowered devil fruits I would like to see Eneru again.
I am not sure how strong he is in New World. As we already saw, lightening does not affect a lot of people here lile the minks and beast pirates. Also Luffy did say that there are lot of people on the sea who can kick his ass!
@@convoluted_turtle Because Eneru himself is weak. He has no Armament Haki and he doesnt know how to fight. But if someone strong like Shanks would have the Goro Goro no Mi then he would be waaaay stronger than he already is.
@@DieserOli2127 Shanks eating that fruit would make him into an actual god of the verse
darsh shah when did luffy say that?
@Pixel Smile his combat skills and armament haki are lacking. if he had armament haki and full control over the heat his devil fruit can produce, he wouldve melted luffy and demolished him. he was only whooping fools left and right because of his fruit, not his own power.
In theory you can't even get near Akainu without melting, awakened at that ... Guy is a walking disaster.
Akainu could have came up in the marines with dragon. Maybe there was a love triangle involving luffy's mom. Who died because of the WG. Causing dragon to lead ther revolutionary army.
Akainu and Dragon. Reminds me of, Hashirama and Madara. Fight between the 2 hopefully 🙏🏽, its on that level 👌🏽.
The brilliant thing about Akainu is he is not a bad guy.
Isn’t Akainu the guy who killed hundreds of civilians during Robins flashback?
Man really destroyed a navy officer who wanted to see his family
Right he’s just a over protective dad
@Vasco Shot He was still right tho
Robin was about to go with that ship, if she did then they would really kill everyone for nothing
@@mr.unknown731 If I remember correctly, that wasn't in the Manga.
akainu trying to get rid of coby after marineford: ama end this mans career
finds out he belongs in garp's unit: nvm maybe later
So, Akainu could find the onepiece in a year, if he: left the marines, goes incognito, gathers intell for a while and then speedruns trough everything that he (feels like he) needs to do. Kind of seems like aokiji might be doing this.
"If Akainu was main character, he would find the one piece in a year"
Honestly I took it as Akainu has the resources not just the power to find the one piece. People look at the statement solely based off of his strength which I don't think is the case. The man has 3 admirals under his command which is beating Any Yonkou's top 3 commanders. More ships than any other force in the series which he can use to deploy troops quickly and buster call places. A shit ton of Pacafista that if the goal was to find the one piece im sure they'd ramp up production and make even more, whatever the Hell the SSG is, probably more military bases then Yonkou territories, probably the best intelligence network in the series, backing by the freaking World Govt.. how could he not find the one piece in a year with all these tools at his disposal?
Well did Oda mean that Akainu as Fleet Admiral would find it in 1 year or Akainu as a pirate?
Either way it’s about his mindset and tactical ability, there’s plenty of top tiers around the same level of power
People dont give akainu his respect ....he wrecked everyone in marine Ford....he took a haki quake quake sneak attack to the face got up and continued to wreck everyone.....
If he isnt yonko level he is 99% yonko level....
He is Yonko level
There's no way he wouldn't be
Yeah, seeing him get beat by sick Whitebeard and being afraid of Shanks definitely showcases that he is not on their level.
Darth Titan lol why people keep saying that akainu is afraid of shanks?? he just stopped because of sengoku‘s order
@@MrMidnight007 i dont recall him being "afraid" of shanks....he was certainly surprised by his arrival ...which why wouldnt he be....any top tier would be similarly surprised by the sudden arrival of another top tier.....it was akainu that backed down it was sen goku who called an end to the battle....akainu follows orders
@@MrMidnight007 Don't be dumb
I'm a proponent of Sabo vs akainu in the final war of the series.
Sabo is no match for Akainu at all. He will get destroyed like Ace.
If Akainu is fighting anyone other than Luffy, then it will be 100% Dragon.
@@m.phoenix1399 Sabo managed to become No.2 in the Revolutionary Army without the Mera-Mera no Mi. We do not know if the Revolutionaries are equal to the crew of a Yonko. It wouldn't be too far out of possibility for Sabo to last longer than Ace did.
How long did ace last?
@@thano.4 I'm more keen with Luffy vs Akainu
"Smoothie doesn't do anything anyway" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Honestly I want to see a what if manga with Akainu as the protagonist.
its would just a straight up berserker series if akainu is the protoganist
Oda said that if akainu was a pirate he would get to op in 1 year.
UA-camrs - oh i see you are saying that if akainu was a pirate he would get to op in 1 year thanks to his devil fruit
Oda - bruh.
One Piece fandom isn’t the brightest, and they can’t read between the lines. Give them some time as they need to have everything spoonfed like children.
Oda chose Akainu as an example for a reason. The fandom adds random nonsense and tries to twist what Oda says while it’s very simple;
Akainu has the highest offensive devil fruit (*highest* - not highest tier).
If Akainu was the main character, *HE* (again, not HE and the marines - HE) is so powerful, he would find the One Piece and become Pirate King within a year.
This simply means that Akainu is so powerful that he would bulldose through the Marines, Shichibukai, Supernova, Yonkou, find the poneglyphs, locate Laugh Tale, and get the One Piece all WITHIN one year, and NO ONE is able to stop him.
One Piece fandom wants to twist or add to Oda’s words, but it’s very simple to interpret.
Akainu would be a serious force to reckon with since he'd have a head-start over the others.
Akainu seems to respect Dragon in some way or another...he referred to Luffy as "son of Dragon". Dragon and Akainu might know each other from back in the days. They are both extremely mysterious but very determined.
Yeah there night be some connection. I doubt he's just obsessed with dragon because he's a wanted criminal.
He respects him enough to want to murder his son?
@@mightyso9281 You can respect your enemy and still want to defeat him/his allies. Garp and Roger were enemies and tried to kill each other and yet they trusted each other in some way. I don't say that Akainu and Dragon have the same kind of connection but then again... We don't know anything about their past. We'll see.
@@mandanam.m.1745 oh I gotcha
Wasnt dragon an ex marine?
I love akainu and hope we get some in depth insight on his mind whenever his time comes...
I remember that what Oda said was that the ambition/determination of Akainu was so remarkable, that if he was the protagonist, he would find the One Piece/Raftel (I hate Laugh Tale) in the first year of his journey
Shanks is the leader of SWORD. That scene where he saves Coby is my reason for that theory.
what about akainu left arm tattoo?
@@nickjohnson02 i think its classic misdirection. More like a symbolic representation of SWORD and Akinu will both be playing a major role coming up and that maybe they'll share a few ideals or something along those lines.
Bullshit
@@AJJr-hc5lzYes, my opinion could be bullshit. Im not marrried to the idea. Is that your point?
Oh god I would love to see a Dragon vs. Akainu :o
I mean Akainu would start at the age of 53 or 55. Luffy start at the age of 17 and it took him 2 years to be as strong as Katakuri.
My gosh, everything connects. The backstory between Sakazuki & Dragon, O'Hara. The contrast of Fire & Air. You're always on point! That's why I love watching your videos. Amazing Job Sawyer!
Little theory:
Akainu will turn against the government when he will know about Im sama and the Gorosei lying to him. Remember how pissed off he was when they fake Doflamingo's title getting withdrawn. I believe, he will turn on them, not necessarily going with the pirates or Luffy, but more as the Secret Sword organisation. Also he is for the ultimate justice, he will be outrage knowing that the justice he carried all this years was a lie.
So glad you're doing these type of videos now that most manga series are on hold. One can really dive into the world without reading / watching the series again. Great quality :)
I'm still waiting for Kong to come back to the story. He's the only one placed in hierarchy between the Gorosei and the Fleet Admiral and has a unique character design.
I hope Oda will some day show more of Akainu's thoughts. Especially regarding the World Nobles.
Dragon vs Akainu would be hype. overall, good insight. i hate theory videos, but i watched yours because you never disappoint in your reviews and you teach me so much every time.
I've always interpreted that quote from oda as him saying that akainu just being the protagonist of his own story not being the protagonist of one piece as we know it
Watching this video has reminded me that we still haven't seen the Aokiji vs Akaini fight. Oda needs to dedicated 2 volumes to that fight and the circumstances around it.
We will never see that fight. Some secenes maybe but never the full fight. He cannot show their full strength and techniques before their final fights.
Lol aaaw sweet summer child.
Never gonna happen lol.
@@rinmartell2678 very true. Just like we will never see the Shanks vs Mihawk fights.
Akainu: "I'm a master manipulator!!!"
Light Yagami: "here, hold my Death Note"
“Ace turns back to fight akainu and you know the rest”..yes Ace defeats him, reunites with his brother and they find the one piece together. Love a happy ending
Akainu join the chat
Awesome video Mate and very clean line of argumentation !
Akainu was cut a lot during marine ford and at some point he commented that they were haki users so that brings into question... haki no work on akainu ? tf ?
Yeah, akainu's "mercy" towards coby carries the scientific name of, " Tryus, And Garpus Kicka Yo Assus!"
Love the video!!
Little correction, LOGIA is pronounced with hard G like in the word “guitar” or “log”
Thinking "Yo Ace your captain sucks" is speech level 100 ^^
5/5 good vid. One of the best one piece vids I have seen in a minute
Sawyer at @21:09 "Smoothie doesn't do anything anyway."
Good burn Sawyer. Good burn. LOL!
Whole group of wb commanders was nothing so akainu is safe to say a yonkou level
Really fun video Sawyer! 👍
Magma GOAT akainu love on a Tuesday love to see it thanks for the vid big guy
Great discussion, really interested to seeing more of Akainu and his psychology later on ! Inner conflict with the world gov should be great to see too
This was a really dope video man, something unique
Meanwhile Enel is chillin somewhere on the moon. Lol
this was really funny.cool video! :)
Absolutely phenomenal analysis Sawyer 💯
I feel like the world government used to wipe out villages pretending to me pirates so they could recruits from being orphaned. And few of them become like Akainu and Robb Lucci
Vegapunk is going to be key to the WG's ability to create/manifest devil fruits. My guess is they're keeping him well protected, maybe even prisoner, and probably knows all the evil stuff they're up to behind the scenes. He probably even wants to escape from them, and will no doubt become a Luffy follower XD
Awesome a video from this channel that love so much right on my birthday too . I hope & wish everyone out there a truly wonderful day & nite wherever y'all are in the 🌎world stay safe peace out stay healthy remember to keep your hands washed peace out 😊✌ p.s my apologies for the long comment
Dragon broke Akainu’s heart
If One Piece would be a western production I could totally see them making Dragon and Sakazuki a gay couple in the past. Thank God the Japanese are still a bit more "traditional" 😅
I wanna see akainus reaction when he read in the paper that luffy beated kaido
Ps I'm a big akainu fan
Akainu is strong, but there are some characters in the series whom I'm not sure if he can or can't beat like Kaido, Rayleigh and Shanks. Not sure about shanks because we've never seen his true power yet. Theory says that his Kenbushoku is far more stronger than Katakuri that he can see straight far into the future. Or maybe he's actually like King from OPM, having an intense luck.
What if Kaido is like doomsday. He has been fought and defeated by the top tiers before and 'evolved' to a point where no Single top tier he has fought before can beat him e.g. Akainu.
Akainu would melt Rayleigh and Shanks. Oda said that Shnaks is strong as an admiral. Yonkos are just admirals of the sea. Yonkos aren't above admirals and admirals are not above Yonko.
@@yonkobuster112 have you ever seen Shanks and Rayleigh's full power? Pff, Akainu is just a bigmouth who says he's going to destroy this guy and that guy but in the end he destroys no one. He couldn't even beat a sick old man by himself.
@@justarandomguy7536 akainu got thrown out of marine ford and nearly fall to the sea. If they were to fight alone without the disturbance from marines, hundreds of cannons pointing at wb, or even squardo's sword, Akainu would have died. That old man WB was sick, but Akainu still couldnt bring him down.
@@justarandomguy7536 punk hazard. he couldnt even kill a mere admiral. plus, he didnt even want to, thats why it took so long. Akainu could turn half of the island into a blazing hot place because no one was there except him and Aokiji. WB could destroy the entire Marineford along with Akainu but he didnt bcz his comrades were there.
You have earned my subscription
Sawyer, actually it took Roger less than 1 year to find the one piece once he learned about the poneglyph etc.... You sure look into that one more time.
Nah it took roger twice to get to the one piece longer than a year you should check again
That’s not correct....
Took him over 13 years since finding lodestar. And he begun sailing when he was young.
Akainu's kid picture makes me think he might have been like Zephyr. Wanting to be a hero, but in a twisted way.
If Sakazuki was the protagonist he'd still need plot armor vs Kaido.
I like that Idea of Akainu fighting Dragon it would be Absolute Justice vs Freedom which is seen all over the place in One Piece. Keep it up Sawyer Love your Vids
I'm pretty sure akainu got a lot stronger after two years of intense paperwork.
great video man, And I can’t wait to see Zorro go all out how dope would it be if the last fight of this ark it’s a two V one Luffy and Zorro going all out vs. kaido imagine the level of growth they would have
Dude has advanced armament with a df with one of the highest offensive df powers. People thinking Yonkos will immediately body Akainu are delusional
Regarding the sword thing: I honestly hope he is part of it, besides having a wonky ass tattoo compared to his other bad ass tattoo, his motto of absolute justice would make no sense(to me) if it's "the establishment's" justice instead of his own. I think having him believing he is the only one able to impart justice is far more interesting than: "government good" mentality.
It would also make an interesting development after sword reveals itself against the higher corrupted powers but Akainu back stabs them because they're not completely in his favor.
You seem to forget Akainu is 55 Luffy is 19, he’s had his whole life to get this strong, Luffy is just getting started and *probably* on par with Akainu when he was 19. So of course a now 55 year old can get the one piece in less than a year, don’t you think a 55 year old Luffy could?
that's because he is a main character in a shonen manga. The protagonist has to be under 20 to cater to the target demographic which is teens to young adult males. If it was more Realistic, luffy should atleast be in his mid 30s to take on the strongest by the end of this series.
vince Moore this has nothing to do with what I said. Akainu is later in life and more powerful. Luffy will likely be there at that age. Case closed.
@@greatestever2903 such a stupid kid its that way because the author made it so
It's funny how Akainu is so badass and has a deep hatred for pirates, yet he was standing inches away from Shanks and he was thinking.. I want none of that
YOU and BDA LAW makes the best one piece content.
“The Haki nuke”😂🤣😂🤣
Kinda over-hyping Akainu much .. BB ran away from Akainu because wouldn't be worth it to fight him since he could sustain heavy losses, doesn't mean he didn't think he couldn't beat him. Akainu completely shit his pants when he saw Shanks imagine Dragon ..
Akainu did not shit his pants dumbass. Akainu was not even afraid of Whitebeard who was said to be the strongest man alive, then why would he be scared of Shanks ?
Talks about items you shouldn't get early in a game that trivialize the challenge.
*Remembers getting The Black Knight Great Sword in Undead Burg.* Yeah that can definitely happen.
To those that don't know this is a Dark Souls 1 reference and the BKGS is an endgame weapon that be maxed out before even the halfway point of the game if you're lucky with drops, and even if you don't level it up at all(which is unlikely) it's still overpowered up until the halfway point(which is exactly where you get a merchant that sells you an unlimited supply of it's upgrade material if you want to spend the cash and were unlucky).
I believe the logia awaking is hinted by the weather in Punk Hazard! Aokiji and Akainu fought there for 10 days that’s why the weather there is half ice half fire! Logia awakening changes the whole weather of the place
Earth is substance, fire is power. Maga is substancial Power
6:16 ok but that marine was running away while his comrades fighting the pirates and the other marines had familys too and i think he deserve what happen to him what should akainu do just let him runn?
I know it is speculated from the Rocks pirates flag that Rocks D. Xebec consumed the Yami-Yami No Mi therefore Xebec was capable of having multiple powers but people speculated the flames to be that of Ace's mera-mera no mi but I think its Magnu Magnu no mi and when Xebec either died or disappeared Garp got the fruit and then Kong once again summoned Garp to be promoted but he refused so the fruit remained in the custody of the admiralty then being Sakazuki got promoted to Admiral he chose the magma fruit as the Rocks Pirates laid waste to Sakazuki's homeland. He did this as a form of revenge.
bro...what is the name of music do you use as outro in this video? the tune is dope
And then the plot twist: Dragon and Akainu are half brothers and he is only mad at Dragon for being Mommies favorite son.
Meanwhile Kizaru would take so long to find the One Piece, he'd eventually forget it existed in the first place.
First time watching and ive never cringed at every pronunciation in a video bfr, but great video, i jus need to adjust my ears apparently 😅
The OP community is very huge among the Chinese. There are a lot of great reviewers and theorists as well. Jus tat they don't understand English.
Morover those in China can't access UA-cam. Imagine if they understand English and have access to UA-cam, sawyer can hit millions of subscribers
Akainu has currently shown to be the literal most durable character so far. Literally still fought after receiving 2 pointblank quake hits that literally split the island and if we are being honest. Whitebeard was losing on their fight and only had the opportunity to hit him when he killed ace and lowered his guard on Whitebeard. Without that the entire fight was all on Akainu's favor which is nuts cause that's a Yonkou he was fighting not some Yonkou commander.
Remember during the marineford war ? At some point after the two hits from Whitebeard he basically fought almost every single Yonkou Commander under and a bunch of haki users on their ranks. They were all doing zero damage. Can you imagine all of Kaidou's highest ranking officers fighting one character and doing absolutely nothing. That was the equivalent of what Akainu did.
Not even Katakuri was that broken as Katakuri was merely dodging but haki still works on him. Akainu was ignoring haki hits as if it does nothing to him like he was doing what Kaidou did with luffy.
I rrrrreally can’t see Akainu taking on Big Mom. I’d lol if she just turned his own gigantic magma attacks into Prometheus juice or Homies. Her power seems to be a logia nightmare in many cases lol
Akainu's attacks have enough explosive force to clash with Whitebeard's shock waves. I for one can't see someone as big and slow as Big Mom taking an eruption to the face.
GDN Why couldn’t she from your perspective?
Doubt she fears Akainu, and I see no reason-assuming Zeus returns-a special “blizzard” homie turned hurricane when paired with Zeus would be any fun for the admiral, and there’s still the tank lady herself. He’s still just one person.
Akaniu could take on Big Mom. Yonkos are not that strong,Once u get too the top tier there is not much difference in power and strength. Jinbei even knocked Big Mom back.
Akainu Sakazuki Yonko’s aren’t that strong? Kaido-a guy whom was “knocked back” by Luffy-is considered the strongest critter on the seas. Big Mom clashes with him for days before establishing an alliance.
What lead you to your conclusion?
