Do you think Luffy becoming the Pirate king will be more iconic than Goku becoming a super Saiyan?

there was somebody here named luffy

but no, even if you never watched DBZ you'd know what a Super Saiyan was

 

[usopp]

Yes, but only if the payoff for the final arcs is done right. The storyline would need to be compeling and the battles would have to be better than anything Oda has drawn before.

 

[Hersh]

lol no

 

[MaxBundles]

Never in a million years. Im appalled that this is even a debate

 

[RaspberryFitted]

no for the simple fact that Goku turning SSJ was a surprise. It was hinted throughout the Frieza Saga about a legendary SSJ, but never explicitly said…

THE ENTIRE PLOT OF ONE PIECE IS LUFFY FINDING GOLD D. ROGER’S TREASURE AND BECOMING THE PIRATE KING. We already know how it ends

Who is Luffy?

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

For me personally? Yes. Super Saiyan becoming something that anyone can achieve retroactively ruined that scene for me. Watching Luffy's *unique* journey to becoming pirate king will have a bigger lasting impact. That's something that's not going to get watered down.

Isn’t PK Luffy end goal? Since when has end goal surpassed epic moments in between? The gears are the equivalent of SSJ.

One Piece is already bigger worldwide and is better than dragonball

when luffy becomes pirate king it will be more iconic because whoever he fights to finally become the PK will be a better fight than goku vs frieza

The numbers on twitter were insanely close. Out of 25k votes

49.4 = Yes
50.6 = No


Personally I think Vegeta transformation was better than anything Goku did or Luffy will do but that’s just me

 

[humminbird]

yes that episode will break records

 

[Roid Jones]

I'm expecting Luffy becoming PK to be anti-climatic tbh

 

[Consumed]

Adding to what others have said, SSJ being a transformation of enhanced power makes it more iconic than a title. Don’t think actually being the pirate king fundamentally changes Monkey D. Luffy as much as his journey does and it’s Luffy who is the icon, not really being a pirate king.

You had kids, teenagers, even adults worldwide trying to imitate the SSJ transformation. Cringeworthy stuff but it happened. Not really the same with Luffy reaching his goal.

Fukk no, One Piece ain't mainstream like that.
