One Piece, by Eiichiro Oda, is beloved by people across the globe. The series has many characters with charming personalities that captivate the audience. Blackbeard, also known as Marshall D. Teach, is one such character. Fans have recently been curious whether he can use Conqueror’s Haki. If he can, this ability will rank him amongst the most formidable and resilient in the One Piece universe.
The latest episode of One Piece has sparked several debates amongst anime fans. Audiences are in a dilemma because of the choices made by the show’s creator, Toei Animation. Some question Blackbeard’s display of Conqueror’s Haki in the recent episode.
Can Blackbeard use Conqueror’s Haki in One Piece?
Conqueror’s Haki grants special abilities to the users. They vary from person to person. This power can influence others’ thinking and cause those with meek resolve to lose consciousness. One Piece has evidenced this in past episodes. Also, there are not many characters who can use this ability. As it is one of the anime’s most powerful and pivotal strengths, fans wonder if a primary protagonist and a Yonko can possess this uncommon gift.
There are critical differences between the manga and anime. This discrepancy in the portrayal has led to passionate discussions among fans online. In the source material, Blackbeard’s powers are never explicitly stated to include Conqueror’s Haki. However, in the anime, he uses something that appears to be it during intense moments.
Fans reacted strongly to Toei Animation’s depiction of Blackbeard’s powers. Some believe it was the studio’s way of adding depth, while others disagree. The fans against it claim that the show’s depiction of Blackbeard using Conqueror’s Haki strays away from the source material. They believe it will confuse the viewers who are unfamiliar with the manga.
