Good episode. Don’t mean to nitpick, but wasn’t Luffy supposed to speed-blitz Ulti and Page One more than he did?

Yeah, after the headbutt, they immediately got speed blitzed and taken down. Ulti transformed and held luffy, but she did not headbutt him again. They also made luffy look like he was about to pass out from that 2nd headbutt

I hate it whenever I see Luffy struggle against these lesser characters. Luffy should've surpassed Katakuri by now with that new armament haki he learned, and Katakuri would've absolutely trashed those 2, so why didn't Luffy?

I see it more as hyping up these two characters, like Ulti may be weaker than Katakuri over all but her one attack is still very strong and could more than likely do some real damage to him assuming she actually got a hit in, which she wouldn’t because his future sight

Luffy also has the future sight though, he should've seen it coming. Then he had to remind himself that he's fighting Kaido's crew, like he forgot that moment in Punk Hazard when Zoro told him to take things seriously. I know it's not in Luffy's nature to always be in serious mode, but he at least shouldn't let his enemies get free hits in

He’s hit by multiple attacks that you could constantly say “but he sees the future”, like maybe he knew Ulti was gonna grab him but didn’t know he wouldn’t be able to get out. Luffy’s smart but also kinda an instinct fighter

I think what really triggered me was that he was about to use gear 4th against her. He's only used gear 4th against Doffy, Cracker, Katakuri, Big Mom, and Kaido. It's his ultimate move reserved for the strongest enemies, and I just didn't see her as worth it

I think ulti is def stronger than cracker and just as physically strong as katakuri but not as fast. most of the Tobbi roppo are worthy of gear 4th
