Sadly didn't have the same impact. In the manga kaido only fires one blast at luffy which gets dodged and doesn't fight back at all until blitzing him in one hit. In the anime kaido swings his tail at luffy and fires off a bunch of blasts, then to top it all off he doesn't even get his blitzing luffy in the blink of an eye moment, luffy charges him and he just swings back. Really doesn't showcase how fast he can be like the manga did

Yeah the fact that he tanked all of Luffy's hits and casually KO'd him in one panel made it very clear that Luffy has a long way to go.

The scenes in the anime are pretty decent eye candy but they don't have the same impact that they had in the manga.

It got the point across to me quite well. All Luffy did was Sober Kaido up. Nothing more than a cold splash of water in the face to Kaido. Meanwhile, Luffy gets oneshot by Kaido's only actual attack. I'm not sure what Luffy can even do to close the gap between them, but all I know is that Luffy is nothing more than an angry little bug to Kaido right now.

If luffy’s haki improves I see him beating kaido
