@Radical:
see the thing is oda didn't use words he used numbers in a vague chart
Vague is your own theory, Oda doesn't say it's vague.
1.luffy dismissed soru in regular state so dismisng soru doesn't mean anything
It means luffy and zoro are both above soru
2.If you read the fight kaku hardly used soru.he tried to fight him straight up
Because it was worthless it didn't make a difference against zoro. Why use a move that isn't effective?
3.Blocking a soru attack doesnt mean dismissing it
Zoro didn't have his bandanna on or anything, he easily block it with minimal effort.
4.they are higher forms of soru(take nero as and example.)its good speculation that lucchi's was the top form .lucci and kaku soru are at a difference
So if zoro easily blocked kaku's he'd be in the same position as luffy in the lucchi fight.
5.saying luffy wouldn't hit him at high speeds just becaused he blocked kaku's soru doesn't make sense.
Read phenomenals post luffy clearly says he uses soru while in gear 2, so if zoro easily blocked kaku he would be in the same position as luffy.
6.Again soru is just fat movement it has nothing to do with upgraded techniques
Luffy says he uses soru in gear 2, all other techniques are just stronger due to what he does with his body. You saw how devasting just one of zoros asura stance moves was, it looked far more powerful than luffys gear 2 moves.
But since I'm not a fanboy like you I still agree with ODA and say they are equal.
also in addition.the words he used against blueno,lucchi and actions towards aokiji are little hints oda gives us toward him being stronger than everybody else.If you chosse to ignore it compleatly,hey thats you
That's just your opinion it isn't fact at all, It could also mean a captin has to take reponsibility for his crew. That's my interpretation of that scene, I can't prove your theory wrong and you can't prove mine wrong.
why do people dismiss douriki?even if it is athletic ability?if its so useless why did even bother testng it?why do people dismiss kaku's inexperience with dfs?
Because a swordsman wouldn't need as much, it all depends on your style.
Im also guessing holding zoro down and smashing him with gear 3 is imposssble.
I'm guessing if zoro uses asura luffy cannot block it.
EDIT. "Lucci: It seems that your increase in power comes at a cost to your speed." Lucci says this after dodging all luffys attacks, doesn't look fast to me.
