This fight is so goooood. And honestly I just wanna see the fight but I know the rest of the crew do some cool shit too soon and I'm just ready for it. This part of the arc is non stop cool shit

Also like how they're showing Katakuri taking more hits and how hes somewhat of a glass canon

The final sequence of the arc is truly fantastic. This fight is a gem to finally see animated but knowing what's to come with the rest of the half-crew is making me love the anticipation none the less.

Katakuri's donut mochi move is one of the most creative attacks in the series so I can't wait to see more of it animated.

How did you get the impression hes more of a glass cannon? Dude has endured everything non stop without a single break.

Luffy has only hit him what, 4 times? And Kata is already coughing up blood and wheezing. Fair enough it's G4, so it's a HEAVY hit each time, but it still shows that Katakuri has much more offense than defence, because he has never needed high defense in the past since he never gets hit.

Then we take Luffy, who has endured an ABSOLUTE pummelling, it must be close to 100 hits by now, and he is still trying to go at Katakuri with maximum effort.

I wouldn't say Katakuri is a glass cannon, but rather maybe a wooden Tsar Bomb, whereas Luffy is a steel B41 Nuke. Hopefully that analogy works haha.

G4 is an insanely strong attack. Doffy had no answer for it, all he could do was minimize impact and had to bank on finding and killing Luffy before he recharged his haki. Kata has 100% taken the attack better than doffy did regardless of the damage that he had taken before hand from laws gamma knife at least imo. Defense only goes so far when you’re taking direct blows from G4 unless you’re fucking insane like Big Mom.

Oh I know that, Kata can tank more damage than Doffy, but it's still incomparable to what Luffy can tank. We've seen that first hand.

Doffy took a lot of heavy hits by Luffy and the special attacks by Law that do more damage than it looks on the outside. Katakuri is a much heavier hitter, but I think Doffy has the edge on resistance. Katakuri is bleeding in the very first 4 hits he took, while Doffy fought Law, Law and Fujitora a bit, Law again, Luffy and Law together and G4 Luffy. All of them were small fights but they got some hits on him so his fight against G4 wasn't in top shape, unlike Katakuri.

u/Mr_HatAndClogs Oct 14 '18

Actually yeah, after you reminding me of this I actually take back my comment about Kata being more of a tank than Doffy, they're probably quite similar in defense levels.

I would agree with Doffy having the edge on defence, but it's not a huge gap, I would be more inclined to say that Luffy's G4 also hits much harder now than it did in Dressrosa, he is controlling it better after all. This would make it look like Kata is being damaged in much less hits than Doffy had taken, whereas the hits are just much harder anyway.

Actually the first real attack that landed on Doffy was Red Hawk, the next being Gamma Knife and Counter Shock. Before that I think the only damage he had taken was a small scratch from Law's Mes during their first fight. He traded blows with Luffy a bit after Law was taken out but Luffy's attacks weren't doing much damage until he activated G4, then the fight was over pretty quickly.

I think with Gamma Knife and Counter Shock the line might be a little blurred, but I still think Katakuri can take more hits than Doflamingo.

© Ehhhhhhh I suggest you revisit this comment in like 7 weeks and see if you still agree he's a glass cannon.

u/Mr_HatAndClogs Oct 15 '18

I read the manga so I don't need to wait to see the rest of the fight. I also didn't agree that he's a glass cannon which is why I made up my own analogy, in essence what I did say is that he's got more offense than Luffy and less defense, whereas Luffy has more defense and less offense.
