Luffy vs Katakuri REVIEW
The fight between Luffy and Katakuri had finally ended. This had gone on for many chapters and is getting too long.
Review
In this fight, we saw the prowess of Big Mom's strongest crew member, Katakuri with his Mochi Mochi devil fruit. We also saw Luffy unveiling a new Gear 4 skill in Snakeman.
Snakeman:
Was quite disappointed with this skill. It looks no different from the one used against Doflamingo. It is simply attacking with greater speed. I think the anime will do a better job at showcasing this skill
Katakuri:
Showing a sense of righteousness and fairness, stabbed himself when he found out that his sister had been poisoning Luffy. Admirable.
The sister:
Introduction of this weird character inflicting damage to Luffy is strange. There is no need for such a scene. But perhaps Oda had ran out of idea how to balance the fight as Katakuri is always on the upper hand. This only makes Luffy seem much more inferior to Katakuri.
The ending:
Again, another moment of Luffy unexplained incredible winning mentality. We see a heavily battered Luffy exchanging the final blow with Katakuri. Both collapsed. Both stood up again. And only Katakuri fell this time.
We had saw that Luffy was the one getting beaten most of the fight and should be more injured than Katakuri. But yet after the final blow, Katakuri fell, without much explanation. Oda should have gave some insights to what happen, example, Luffy using a new ultimate finishing move?
This fight reminds me of the one with Lucchi. Not that great and sudden ending.
