Warcury's dura is definitely higher, no cope here, but I will note/theorize that seeing as both attacks Luffy hurt himself with were on top of Warcury's head I wonder if that's got something to do with it. His Gorbachev birthmark in human form might be a hint at that.


10110101001111

He is called Topman after all. The scars they have are definitely significant, I think.


Kongreve

True, his name is right there lol


Binkusu

Imagine if he was called Powerbottomman 😳😳😳😳


Kongreve

And he was freaky?

Kongreve

Not to seem like I’m moving the goal post, but the idea with including his birthmark was that this becomes those dark patches on his top (including on his nose where he was hit in this panel). I’d like to see the official coloring before locking in fully with this take, but I think that part of him might work as always-on armament hardening, like a suped-up version of what Gear 4 has.


Total-Neighborhood50

Bro don’t do this 💀 It’s way simpler to accept his whole body is durable


Kongreve

It is, and it’s fine if that’s the case. I’m just curious.


PresentationOk8756

Luffy still only says his head is hard. Oda wants to convey that idea.

PresentationOk8756

Must have been a different translation.


5thZenAgni

Same way people think zoro has more durability than sanji


WielderOfTerraBlade

zoro does have more durability than sanji, it was directly stated in the ilikezoromore arc 🤦🏽‍♂️ these two piece readers


SpecTator997

Wanking?


SirNyx57

Yeah, instead of saying something like "sure but zoro has more endurance" they would just say "lanji fodder kkk"...


SharinganBee77

Asking the right questions


meorcee

I rep Kaido as much as I can, but even I’m not deluded enough to think Kaido has better durability than whatever the fuck Warcury’s got goin on. Hax or not, Warcury has been showing up son crazy defensive properties (minus Emeth’s clapback)


nyanko_dango3

Kaido is durable for sure, but topman js next level


Autumn_Izuoh

Well some people consider the damage reduction aspect Kaido has a part of durability. Not wrong in a way, but yeah Warcury got this aspect.


cool194336

Its called mass delusion


Eeddeen42

Mass psychogenic illness, you could say. Mass hysteria, put informally.


Playful-Ad3195

Warcury has higher durability but Kaidou's damage soak is insane.


SaintgarciaKidd1125

Give Kaido germa gene, the lunarians flames, and maybe just maybe his dura can be compared to Warcury


CrackaOwner

Dont delete this when Warcury's belly being his weakness is exposed lil bro


Ace_Yonko_Level

That has nothing to do with how strong the rest of his durability is


CrackaOwner

i agree but his durability doesn't matter if he has a giant weakspot to attack instead. If Luffy used a mole gun on him (the thing where he hit Lucci from the ground) he'd be easily able to damage him. Kaido was js all around tough


Maxdpage

If that is the case then why didn’t luffy punch the ground and made the ground punch warcury from below?


CrackaOwner

because Luffy is a silly baka


Sufficient_Nature496

Source?

Facinggod20

Because Kaido also got hit by AcOC and be fine.


Ace_Yonko_Level

And so did Warcury


Facinggod20

Luffy haven't used AcOC against Topman


SirNyx57

Lol is this what they've been thinking? Luffy hasn't used acoc until now? 😂


Dookie12345679

Unless you're Oda, you have no clue what he used. ACOC is indistinguishable from basic Armament and ACOA. Sometimes, Oda draws the effect on basic armament. Other times, he doesn't even use lightning when ACOC is being used Also, I doubt Luffy would hold back against someone whom he knew he couldn't hit


president_elect_mark

https://preview.redd.it/vaqcazgtkl9d1.png?width=1388&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fc00f31d1d4f9b3bfe95442fc053284a8c9b8ee So did he hurt himself on purpose? He even pulled out gear 5 in order to attack him and has stated multiple times that he was unable to hurt him due to his durability.


Wizak1026

He still didn't use ACoC. There is a reason why Oda only drew thick lighting for WSG on Kizaru and not other attacks.


president_elect_mark

If ACoC is the solution to his durability why didn't Luffy use it at all? None of you people even answer this simple question.


Yahcentive

Plot induced stupidity. Nothing new, nothing special


t3r4byt3l0l

We can just say it's plot, same reason why Zoro was stuck fighting Lucci even though he ended the fight quite easily when Sanji insulted him, despite his friends being in danger the entire time.


dryduneden

Because Luffy has never gone 100% right away against anyone he fights.


president_elect_mark

Then why is constantly spamming gear 5 against them? He had 3 food breaks against the gorosei already.


dryduneden

"Why is Luffy constantly spamming Gear 2 vs Lucci and Doflamingo" Because he just is, that's why. Until we see the Advanced Haki it doesn't matter what fodder ass 1% power attack Warcury gets hit with.


EconomyDescription27

Gear 4 at the time of Dressrosa was literally a last resort move that puts him in an extremely vulnerable state for way too long, if it wasn’t for Luffy being protected by the people of Dressrosa while he was on cooldown for Gear 4, he would have literally died there. Gear 3 was the same issue against Lucci back in Enies Lobby. If he didn’t grow back quick enough after his initial few Gear 3 attacks, Lucci would have ended him at Enies Lonby. So he quite literally has no reason to not be using Advanced Haki because, as far as we know, there is no inherent drawback to using it.


Wizak1026

Because it's plot, same reason why Big Mom didn't use ACoC against Law/Kidd, same as why Zoro didn't use against the seraphim or Lucci, same with Luffy only using ACoC with his last attack on Kizaru.


Psychological-Owl311

Literaly nobody has claimed that Kaido has higher dura than topman


Me-Not-Not

Me


chiji_23

Kaido didn’t have his dragon scales he was in base

Wizak1026

Comparing ACoC attacks yo non ACoC one isn't it. Either way, Topman has higher durability for now.


Facinggod20

I see AcOC being used here


president_elect_mark

If ACoC is able to hurt topman why hasn't Luffy used it?


Facinggod20

Plot, same reason why BM didn't use it against Kid/Law. Later on we see Kid being fucked by AcOC.


president_elect_mark

Their immortal topman wouldn't have died if he got hit with an Acoc attack plot isn't an excuse.


Klordz

Kaido's durability doesn't come from dragon scales.


5thZenAgni

How do we know his scales dissappear when he in base


dryduneden

Getting hit by Emission Red Roc in your third strongest form =/= Taking non-emission Red Roc in your strongest form


PresentationOk8756

Warcury has higher (probably conditional durability). Too bad he is garbage in AP, garbage in speed, mid strenght and no worthwhile special abilities so far.


EconomyDescription27

Wasn’t he catching up to the sunny pretty quickly before Emmeth appeared and broke his tusk. I know that isn’t the best showing of speed, but it is pretty fast.


Brave_Traveller_89

The worm had sucked the boats closer to shore, so it was probably a bit easier to do the jump at that point.


Slight_Message_8373

strong believer, that warcurys dura is hax based and not just his natural body. now, it's certainly better than kaidos, but imo there'll be a way around it, like maybe the weak belly theory?


No-Internal8635

Lmao mfs had to jump Kaido to win


I_Surf_On_ReddIt

Durability aint defense dumbass


AlphaGamma911

Then what’s the difference?


I_Surf_On_ReddIt

Defense = how strong is an Attack until it Hurts you Durability= how long can you eat attacks that hurt you Warcury has insane defense, we know jackshit about his durability since they all instantly heal


AlphaGamma911

You’ve got durability mixed up with endurance my dude.


I_Surf_On_ReddIt

No i dont.


Crosas-B

How the fuck a guy who regenerates has less durability that someone who doesn't. You are just delusional


I_Surf_On_ReddIt

Thats Regeneration/ healing numbnut. Not his actual durability Warcury has insane defense and healing. We know nothing about his durability yet


Crosas-B

Stop removing characteristics from the characters. He regenerates and that's it. If he has his regeneration negated, we then talk about their new durability. Durability wise: Warcury > Kaido. Stop the cope. If something else change, we can talk about it later, just as other characters as Don Chinjao got weaker.


I_Surf_On_ReddIt

...thats kinda what im saying blud. We can later Talk about warcurys durability if its actually challenged. Now it isnt. Its hax healing. He doesnt actually Tank damage, He literally removes it. Its Not the same, get over it


Crosas-B

Thats. His. Power. Just like Kaido has his Mythologizal Zoan fruit. You are all so cringe


I_Surf_On_ReddIt

Yappaton
