I don't see why not. Even with the wiki deciding EL Luffy and Zoro were only equal in Base and Asura and G3, it should still mean Zoro and Kaku are closer to Luff and Lucci than they are to Sanji and Jabra.
I disagree. Kaku getting one-shotted by Asura doesn't mean he's not closer to Lucci than he is to Jabra, who was ultimately two-shotted by a heavily injured opponent.
Yeah but that was base luffy's bazooka, and scaling to base luffy isn't all that impressive... Idk about what your referring to with him being compared to captains, but I'm only referring to enies lobby not thriller bark and sabaody.
That wasn't the point, but obviously Base Zoro would scale to Base Luffy's stronger attacks since they're equal
As for the Captain comparisons, I was referring to when one of Franky's subordinates does it after Zoro cuts the train in half with Rashomon on the way to Enies Lobby and then another Franky subordinate does it during Enies Lobby.
uh yeah and its quite literally stated lucci was an unparalleled prodigy in cp9 history.
But Doriki readings don't take into account overall strength/various amps
Kaku may not have a statement of being an unparalleled prodigy, but he's still a genius in his own right with potential that's greater than Jabra's (surpassed him while he was away on the W7 mission for 5 years) and also implied to be greater than even Lucci's (awakened his Devil Fruit in less time than Luccid did during the timeskip).
I dont know why you keep bringing this up as if its a crazy ap feat...
I keep bringing it up because Jabra factually doesn't have any AP feats on that level. It may not be the craziest feat, but trying to act like it isn't an impressive feat of power (especially around that time of the story) is frankly ridiculous.
To add to this, Zoro and Kaku were also fighting each other so hard that Sanji wondered if trying to destroy the tower. That's another reason why I don't believe FP Kaku and FP Jabra are as close as their Doriki scores.
And while I have only been just mainly mentioning Amane Dachi, Kaku obviously has more powerful moves that would do heavy damage to Jabra and break his tekkai, like Kaku's stronger than normal Rankyakus, Bigan, Kilimanjaro, Henchikirin, Mochikirin, Gekirin, etc.
No not really, feats from weaker characters in previous arcs were more impressive...
Doesn't matter if that's true or not since we're talking about Jabra and Kaku
He's consistently portrayed to be a cut above the rest, saying otherwise would just be plain out bias.
I'm not denying Lucci wasn't above Kaku and the other CP9 agents, I'm just saying I don't think his overall strength was that far above Kaku's.
Did Jabra not also have a key or am I tripping? Pretty sure they both had keys...
Kaku, Jabra, Kumadori, Fukurou, and Kalifa were all given keys, but Kaku was the one entrusted with the key that actually unlocked Robin's handcuffs
Can you show the statement
There is no statement, I was saying that as more of a portrayal thing.
I mean their Doriki are pretty much all we have to go off of in enies lobby
I don't think so
Based off of feats and portrayal
All kaku said is that zoro had nowhere to run, which can just mean that zoro cannot escape the technique due to its radius/diameter, the same wouldn't apply to Jabra who could literally just jump onto a different floor using moon walk...
Again, if Jabra didn't think Moon Walk would help him avoid the demo Sky Slicer, is it really gonna help him avoid the genuine article?
He prides himself in his skill with tekkai but this doesn't mean that he would unnecessarily exert himself. Kaido held pride in his durability yet still dodged a punch from base luffy in chapter 1009
He did during the fight with Sanji
All this means is that tanking/blocking sky slicer is not a cake walk for Jabra, he would rather dodge it...
Or it could mean the tekkai expert is just that scared of it hitting him
How does Sanji damaging Jabra prove anything?
Again there is a difference between regular and significant damage
Sanji could damage Blueno but couldn't break his tekkai, its the same for Jabra he needed diable jambe to properly break his tekkai.
It proves that if a heavily damaged Sanji can hurt Jabra even while he's using Tekkai, then of course a fresher Kaku would be able to, especially given how destructive Kaku's attacks are.
Would Kaku damage Jabra with sky slicer? Of course, would it significantly damage him or break his tekkai? I dont think so, especially if Jabra uses his own technique to lessen the impact. And you haven't given a good reason for why he couldn't just dodge it with soru and sky walk.
Why wouldn't Kaku's strongest move at full power significantly damage or even break Jabra's tekkai? If he didn't think his own technique could lessen the impact of a demo of Sky Slicer and outran it instead, I don't see him trying to do it with the full powered one.
When does he predict zoro's shishisonson?
If he didn't dodge it wouldn't that just mean he doesn't scale to zoro's lvl of prediction?
That's fine I dont think Jabra needs to predict Kaku's attacks in order to win.
I thought I already pointed it out to you but here's Kaku predicting Shishi Sonson and countering it with his Rodan attack
