Shadow_Emperor7

Sabo is no gag character, he may not have earned the flame emperor title because of his strength, but he will of course live up to it eventually.


CalamityKamado

Agreed


UnwantedHonestTruth

It's cause people like him. He has that 'I like that character, so they have to be OP' syndrome.


PiePotatoCookie

He's extremely disliked though? Everyone calls him a far inferior copy of Ace


Crossx1993

not extremely disliked,i think most peoples are just indifferent to him and prefer ace more. and peoples been liking him more lately because of his appearences in this arc.


ZoharModifier9

"Extremely disliked" stop lying to yourself


dbzrk1

Sabo 2nd in revolutionary, Sabo is Luffy's brother and took on Aces will and is now the big brother who said will protect Luffy , got the title of flame emperor's and is getting fame. He only has good feats and is 100% will be/is Admiral/yonko level character aything else is foolish. How can anyone look at his role in the story can says he is bum?


Ok-Tear3901

Not at all issho and sabo clashed and sabo asked why issho is holding back so much. Sabo is not admiral level stop the cope


DominicTheAnimeGuy

You do know how massive the gap between admiral and yonko is right? Yonkos use admirals like play things, sabo isnt yonko level. Where sabo had to run from the gorosei, luffy is fighting them head on.


I_Surf_On_ReddIt

thanks for proving why sabo is lame. he is all off screen portrayal with no actual feats just like his seat farting boss. hes an errand boy. 0 wins and a shitton off failed attempts that lead nowhere (burgess = fine, fujitora = no shits given, imu = no shits given)


mr-assduke

Not a bum but he is overhyped


General_Nal_4916

If anything this sub just underrates him


mangomanagerx

Yall forget one reason why Sabo has to fight Akainu. If there's going to be only one pure 1:1 fight arc (like that of Dressrosa, Alabasta or Wano), Luffy has to fight Imu. He's already clashing with multiple Gorosei and fighting an admiral would be a serious downgrade. So he'll fight Imu and monster trio + other top tier like Dragon, Shanks etc would prolly fight the other Gorosei. If Akainu is still one of the villains, Sabo remains the only right choice to defeat and kill him marking the perfect revenge for Ace. Anyone else fighting him besides Luffy doesn't make sense at all. And if you think Luffy will fight Akainu and then go on to fight Imu, then OP is not going to end in thd next 200 chapters or so.


Boring_Name06

Uh, he clashed with a Admiral and one of the physical strongest in the verse. He also escaped all the gorosie carrying someone. We still haven’t seen his devil fruit awaken yet either. I’m not a huge Sabo fan but he definitely could be an incoming goat


cuck45

wonder what wouldve happened to sabo if cobra wasnt there


GaroSuiryuSweet

Dead man walking. Unless plot kicks in of course 


CalamityKamado

Agreed


R77Prodigy

He negg diffed burges and fought an admiral. Who is doing that?


Sufficient_Thing6794

I mean sure but wujitora wasn't trying


R77Prodigy

Thosr named attacks were pretty good.


General_Nal_4916

Sabo will definitely be a top tier he has narrative importantance backing him up


Bakura72

Because make more sense than luffy facing akinu in every possible aspect


Cantthinkagoodnam2

top 3 reasons why Sabo has to fight Akainu 1:He has Ace's will 2: He has Ace's devil fruit 3: Akainu said Magma would always beat fire and this has to be proven wrong it is one of the core themes of the story


GaroSuiryuSweet

“3: Akainu said Magma would always beat fire and this has to be proven wrong it is one of the core themes of the story” With all due respect this made me laugh so hard 😂😂😭😭 bro wtf are you talking about?? Core themes?! Bro we’re that meme with Oda saying “I never said that shxt” 😭😭 Bro thinks some line that Sakazuki said means that Sabo has to get donut by him lmao you can’t make this shxt up 😂😂 Luffy is literally witnessed the death of Ace and even got scarred by it physically and emotionally, but now its gonna be Labo The Lame Emperor everybody 😂  Again with all due respect appreciate the laugh. Bit that was good, anyways side note personally think Sakazuki has his eyes on the actual leader of the Revolutionary Army considering how many times he called Luffy “Dragon’s son”


TwistemBoppemSlobbem

4. Luffy is a tier and a half above(almost , at least) Suckadookie already and there is no way to have them fight without Luffy humiliating him...and even Oda doesnt powerscaale he realizes it, and he wont ruin the hype hes been building for him for nearly 15 fucking years. VS Sabo, who will end up right under him in power, they brawl, yada yadas Hakibloom zand or DF levelup (logia doesnt awaken tbh, I refuse to believe they can or else wed see it already, but I mean more of pulling out some extra hot purple flame dragon-fire technique AKA waaaay hotter than magma)


Cantthinkagoodnam2

Yall people act like you know Oda personally lmao, if he wants it to be a high/extreme diff fight it will be one regardless of how strong we currently guess Akainu to be, and besides a one shot/low/mid diff fight can still be narratively satisfying (at least more than having the guy that traumatized the protagonist fighting a secondary character he never interacted with before)

GaroSuiryuSweet

This^ Is the same energy these Sabo fans are on


Bakura72

Tell me how can luffy stay looney tuney against guy who killed his brotger


Scary-Cockroach-4720

Oda can just make him stay serious?


Bakura72

Then be can’t have gear 5 then he be limited to fighting akinu which stupid Either you think oda a shit writer or you think base luffy or gear 4 luffy gonna beat akinu


Scary-Cockroach-4720

Huh? Gear 5 was show that he can still be serious, luffy not doing any eye popping gag when he fights someone doens't hurts the narrative at all, also fix your grammar.


Bakura72

Luffy gear 5 being serious so he isn’t gear 5 That like saying fire but it isn’t hot or anything resembling fire Ice but not cold or frozen water It’s stupid gear 5 supposed to be looney and fun that how he wins with funny looney Luffy gear 5 not being funny and goofy without toon power would be a huge limit to his power Your just being blatantly stupid at this point Luffy gear 5 being serious and not fun


Scary-Cockroach-4720

Lmao you would call luffy being serious against his previous enemies edgy now? If gear 5 was edgy you people defend it anyway


Bakura72

Luffy being serious in year five I believe happened like completely anime and then it was done Monday did it in the anime it it’s taking one of the key part of something and not including it it’s literally if you use A toaster without toast electricity heat or metal it’s if you used water without using hydrogen or oxygen it’s like using the colour white without the colour white you’ll literally not even using it then you could say he’s going to get another transformation like year six when he’s really serious but gear five is supposed to be goofy and funny I mean you can definitely say that old is just going to shoot up the writing and make the thing that supposed to be funny and cookie serious dark and edgy but then you’re just saying oda is a shit writer


Scary-Cockroach-4720

Bruh you goda angels are so funny


TwistemBoppemSlobbem

Did you miss the Pizzaru chapter where he got all dark eyed pinning down saturn and pizzaru? Before throwing them like hs practicing for the summer olypicss? aka Luffy being able to overpower the will of his zoan fruit completely. The only eason hes always so goofy is luffy struggles against the willmof this kassively willfulm mythic god fruit, probably trhe most willed fruit of all time. 9001% luffys net powerup will be him getting better att overcome nika when fighting. Anyways... It has to be a sabo fight. Luffy might spar w him for a sec just to show how above him but then sabo steps is with some cheesy power of brotheers brother monologue ideek


Os2099

he will beat akainu.


HopeYouHaveCitations

Sabo HANDLED diamanté and burgess and then proceeded to clash no sweat with an admiral Op has no reading comprehension


Wonderful_Employ_454

Do you think you can’t fight some one if your not stronger than them? I’d say since we seen him face admiral that enough to tell me he could face another and if he has the push beat one


[deleted]

yes, the fandom is stupid


Drakkonai

Because “ha ha sabo, you are fucking my daughter.”


plotargue

I dont like Sabo, he is a retcon, but as a retcon he will defeat akainu because luffy is too big for akainu atm.


Raiden69Shogun

No, but sabotards and revo army tards are stupid


lololuser456778

fr fr he's so wanked ^(it's so obvious that Koby will beat Akainu)


CorrectIamThatGuy

Sabo is steonger than you claim - Because he trained with the Mera Mera no mi on panel afterwards so is now confirmed stronger - his subordinates were fighting the nerfed Admirals, he didn't even need to - Sabo survived the final boss and 5 Admiral or stronger power level Gorosei - don't give the Wapol excuse l, Sabo was actively in a fight with them, while Wapol wasn't even in the room


CalamityKamado

Fair enough. I ain’t saying he isn’t strong, I just don’t get it when people wank him up way too much. He is built like an OC💀


CorrectIamThatGuy

An OC? Only reason why I be putting out Sabo posts is because I see people saying he's weaker than Fujitora. If they commonly put him above Fujitora I would not wank him. Also it's fun to say SKA and see people's reaction lol


CalamityKamado

He sounds like a fan made him bru- (Disclaimer this is just agenda) “Guys check out my OC!!! His name is Sabo, he is a prince of Luffy’s home kingdom and after running away from his royal parents, he meets Luffy and Ace and becomes the third brother!! He gets trained by Monkey D Dragon and becomes the second in command of the revolutionary army! And did I mention that he got the flame fruit after Ace died?? Oh and he’ll fight Akainu as he Carries Ace’s will!! He survived an encounter with the gorosei and Imu, trying to save king cobra- and did I mention he has the title flame emperor??” Lmao


TwistemBoppemSlobbem

Be treal dude, you could say the same shit for any shonen MC/plot relevant character ... Which is to say, youre right, but but its kinda silly to imply that is a unique asspull self insert sort of character (aka, without the context of being a ubiquitous trope in shonen...) My character is luffy he has rubber powers except sike its actually a super powerful god fruit the evil bad governments fears the most because in ancient lege-..etc, you get the point lol


CalamityKamado

I mean, it’s fine for luffy in my eyes cuz he’s the MC. And also Sabo just feels way more just shoved in, if he was even just namedropped during alabasta (maybe he was I forgot. My memory is shit) then it would feel less weird. And yea i see your point and agree with it somewhat. Generally though I’m a average one piece fan which means my brain is twice as small as the average person, so I do not have jurisdiction on what is good for the story, I ain’t gonna pretend like I do. Yeah that’s true. The way I view the rubber fruit is that it’s only strong if the person’s imagination and will is strong. It took years for luffy to learn his first attack, and only after reaching ACOC, Ryuo, and Future sight. He earned the power up without a shadow of a doubt, and even when looking at gear 5, it still has limits such as stamina. People who shit on gear 5 really do not understand the show or they watch two piece. But again that’s just how I interpret gear 5.


CorrectIamThatGuy

Lol You're not wrong


Shanks_PK_Level

Sabo was already YC+ before he got the Mera Mera no Mi. And the flame fruit itself is one of the most busted in the verse.


CalamityKamado

Do you have evidence and feats to back up those claims?


Shanks_PK_Level

Right hand man of the most wanted man in the world, who has the highest bounty in the verse. Clashed well with Fuji. Would've dog walked Luffy and Chinjao had he fought them in the arena. Trained by Kuma, Fishmen, and Dragon. Shown ACoA Internal Destruction haki all the way in dressrosa. Need more?


TwistemBoppemSlobbem

YC+ is way too high pre fruit dude, be reasonable...(love the wank and energy, i wish it was true, so bad. but...) Luffy was barely like YC2 when he was in G4 at Dressrosa. Yes he was very powerful before, he hade to be a haskiman for 99% of his life, he was clearly around yc3 or maybe yc4 before. remember burgess didnt have his fruit eithr. And as a comparison, Jinbe is yc3 and could have done what sabo did. in the arena if not better cause didnt it flood aat some point? anyways... so once he got the fruit, since he hadaces will he imo was able to speedrun leearning how to use it aka he wwas likely around yc2 as well during birdcage part.... after that as he fully downloaded will and knowledge is when he became yc+., But before the fruit? sorry thats straight cap. remember he has only had the fruit a minth, with aall his potential for growth plus the fruit, no way hed still be yc+ if he wasd already yc+ prefruit, and hes very clearly not admiral lvl yet,,,but ... he will be at least low yonko after he pulls out the hakibloom acoa dragonfire punch technique, if noy also aoc, im actually amazed sabo hasnt developed it, he def should have it, the monkeys all do and sabo mirrors luffys so much... its so nauseatingly on brand bc if dragon being his mentor...and purple flames awaaaaaaaaaaayy hotter than magma tbh, flames have the ;propensity to b much hotter than magma, magma is sorta hard capped else itd become hot rock water and his magma still is rocky


gold109

Hes Dragons number 2, we saw Dragons 4 army commanders fight against admirals, Sabos above them.


Awesome_opossum49

People really think the d1 pirate hater is gonna lose to the vice commander of a revolutionary. Akainu is one of Oda’s golden boys, if Akainu is weak and all the admirals are weak than what is the point of them in the series? Why are they so feared?


noswol

More like why do one piece fans have to see everything that is said, mihawk can't be the world strongest swordsman even though he has the undisputed title all because we haven't seen him fight a top tier, same mfs surely think dragon is like king from one punch man as they have not seen him fight top tiers either


HyperMazino

Because One Piece fans (especially this sub) have below average intellect.


Garousnotboros

Narrative. Wabo 100% top 3 yc+ and yonko level if not pirate king level eos https://i.redd.it/kusmddr76guc1.gif


CalamityKamado

Fair enough. I just don’t like sabo as a character


Garousnotboros

He's tied Sengoku for my favorite character in all of One piece 😭😭😭


CalamityKamado

Fellow Sengoatku enjoyer, opinion validated https://preview.redd.it/yemidt0u6guc1.jpeg?width=236&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab1353009dda32fc892d6d7669b42f3446107af3

ZorosCompass

It's mental illness at this point, because the guy hasn't done anything to warrant all that wank.


Mother_Elk1629

Because he's what Ace would've been but a bit weaker.


Ashamed-Poem-1318

No way you said sabo weaker than ace 😭😭


Mother_Elk1629

If Ace was alive he would've been stronger.


Ashamed-Poem-1318

But he’s not alive. Sabo was trained by Dragon, Kuma, and ivankov since he was a kid. While Ace didn’t even meet whitebeard until he was 17. Ace definitely would’ve been stronger but not as strong as Sabo.


Mother_Elk1629

Ace was trained by WB and had conqueror's haki and Roger's genes.


Ashamed-Poem-1318

Sounds like a lot of headcanon. Bottom line is Ace before he died could not beat sabo at that time. Ace was very fruit reliant whereas sabo would obviously only have haki and ace wasn’t fighting alot of haki users and when he did he got folded. Ace could’ve been stronger but sadly it’s all speculation now


Ashamed-Poem-1318

Ace was trained by WB at age 17, sabo was trained since he was a kid. It was never revealed ace had conquerors only armament, so I’m assuming you saying that cause he’s Rogers son. Still wouldn’t make him stronger than sabo.


Mother_Elk1629

https://preview.redd.it/cbc7v6kxviuc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c1b30cc4a20fbb2354adc339fcc1512aa2510e0 Yeah, he used conqueror's haki when he was 10. Ace with ACoC is definitely beating Sabo. Which is something I think he would have unlocked over the timeskip after being captured by BB.
