Chapter 1080 Finally Showed Fans What it Looks Like When Luffy's

Now that One Piece is in its final saga, it's time for all the big players to make some moves. This means fans will finally get to see what it's like when these characters, who have remained in the background for much of the series, are finally going to show what they're like in a serious battle. This was recently done with Red-Haired Shanks, but now it's time to see what Monkey D. Garp can do.


Chapter 1080, "The Hero of Legend," saw the Vice Admiral throw his first serious punch of the series with devastating results. The power of this single attack confirms just about everything that's been said about the Hero of the Marines to date. It was one thing to hear about how strong he was, but seeing him in action makes it feel all the more believable.


Garp's display of strength was showcased as a splash panel at the end of Chapter 1080. After some SWORD agents successfully corralled several low-ranking Blackbeard Pirates into one place. Garp attacked them from high overhead with a single Galaxy Impact. punch. 


The Haki-imbued shockwaves of this technique created an explosion powerful enough to blow away the surrounding buildings; depending on whether the rest of this confrontation is shown, the damage could turn out to be even greater than that. This is all to say nothing of what that punch must have been like back in his heyday when he was chasing Gold Roger. This is by far the biggest feat of strength he's shown in the series thus far.


One of the big things this and, presumably, the rest of his time on Hachinosu will confirm is his Admiral-level strength. As it's been stated before, he remained a Vice Admiral not because he wasn't strong enough to move up, but because he didn't want to have to answer directly to the World Nobles. This also probably means that when he said he wanted to kill Admiral Akainu for impaling Ace, he probably could have.


This display of power also shows just how much Garp has been holding back against Luffy. Besides how he held back when raising the boy, he was more than strong enough to stand in his way at Marineford. Learning how strong he is adds much more meaning to the fact that he let his grandson push past him. Such is the difference between Garp's Fists of Love and his Galaxy Impact.


In all likelihood, Garp will continue to show how truly powerful he is as the series progresses. This one punch, while impressive enough to earn a splash panel, was only a sample of what he's capable of. The Hero of the Marines is everything he was built up to be.

Sukuna Just Revealed the True Power Behind Megumi’s Technique

 Megumi Fushiguro was deemed a sorcerer with boundless potential by the Jujutsu Kaisen Society and his peers. He inherited the Zenin Clan's 10 Shadows, the strongest technique of the influential family. As such, Fushiguro's mentor, Gojo Satoru, has pushed him endlessly to achieve his potential, stating that his protégé's cursed technique could be just as powerful as his own Limitless and Six Eyes. Megumi has only managed to tame seven of the ten Shikigami that assist the technique and was almost killed by the strongest of the shadows, so he remains pretty far from mastering his power. Before he could prove his own potential, however, the evil Sukuna began using Fushiguro as a vessel and appears to have tamed some of the technique's remaining Shikigami. This means that two of the remaining three shadows are in the power of whomever wields the technique. Unfortunately, this has only made the King of Curses more formidable. Megumi Fushiguro's upbringing served him an o

BORUTO Just Became the Franchise Most Heartbreaking Villain

In Chapter 79 of the Boruto manga, a shocking turn of events with Kawaki makes the Hokage's son the main villain that Konoha has to murder. One of the most enthralling components in the Boruto manga has been the recent heel turn by Kawaki. Fans knew it was coming, as the flash-forward that started the series showed him and Boruto fighting atop the devastated Hokage Mountain. But it's never been revealed how they got there -- and nobody expected their rivalry to begin so soon. They've only just accepted each other as brothers, but Kawaki has turned on Naruto and Hinata.

One Piece Pirates and real-life Pirates Share Some Similarities

The One Piece world of piracy is full of adventure, crazy characters, and ridiculous powers. The series may have been inspired by pirates, some of the characters even sharing names of infamous pirates in reality, but just how much of the pirate life is transcribed from the real world and how much is pure fantasy? When excluding the exuberant Devil Fruit powers and extreme character designs of the anime, there are certainly some similarities that indicate Eiichiro Oda drew from both historical and fictional concepts of pirate life. The life of a pirate was a balance of enjoyment and risk. They sailed the sea in search of other ships to sink and raid, they were hired by different navies to attack their enemies, and they amassed piles of treasure which usually ended up buried on an island or at the bottom of the sea. One Piece shows the world of piracy as if the crew is a family, sharing an unbreakable bond. Some pirate captains stood the test of time, until they found themselves hanged f
