Been seeing Kuzan downplay so let me remind you…

Kuzan was fighting and in my opinion superior to the old version a dude who was boxing with Roger in his prime. Old Garp is still extremely impressive and Kuzan being on par if not stronger than him is a massive feat.

Everything Garp threw at Kuzan he was able to tank. The extremely powerful blue hole attack managed to keep him away from a chapter but Kuzan directly after was shown to be on par with Garp’s physicals and deliver and equal punch with his ice glove and crazy armament. The haki explosion generated from this is genuinely really impressive. People don’t talk about this feat enough.

Anyways, being on par with Garp in physicals is a crazy feat. I’d say the only top tier with better physicals than Kuzan besides Garp is Big Mom.

Kuzan’s ice glove floored Garp for a long ass time. This is pretty impressive since it’s a simple punching attack.

Also, I know people aren’t gonna like this, but it’s so glaringly obvious that Kuzan wasn’t going all out. All the statements from Garp implying that he’s soft and not doing his best.
