I never heard a good argument on why Enel isn't YC1

I never heard a good argument on why Enel isn't YC1

"He got beaten by Skypea Luffy" - Type advantage and the entire fight was Enel being caught off guard because he didn't know what rubber was, as soon as he knew his trident could hurt him he started getting the advantage

"He would be fodder in the new world" - He's shown to have an amazing observation Haki and his agility is insane, he can oneshot most people before they even notice it

"His stamina and durability sucks" - Enel got up again right after his fight with Luffy but he was already flying to the moon so he didn't want to deal with him anymore, and let's not forget anytime he gets close to dying he can just restart his heart as we've seen before

The worst case scenario for him is that he's a big glass cannon, but he hits so hard and barely anyone can even touch him due to his speed and observation haki

And btw, this is pre-TS that we're talking about, if Oda buffed Crocodile and Lucci so bad after the TS I can't even imagine how much stronger Enel would get

I see many people talk about how the powercreep after Dressrosa ruined the show or whatever but honestly it seems pretty tame compared to what happened after Ennies Lobby

Luffy went from beating all his main enemies in every arc in a 1v1 (bar Logia merchants like Aokiji and Smoker) to needing to team up with every single strawhat to beat them like against Oars, Moria and a single Pacifista in Sabaody or get crushed anyways like against Kuma or Kizaru, also he needed to team up with most Impel Down fugitives to barely beat Magellan

I guess you could say that Luffy needed to team up against a bunch of people to beat Kaido too but even then he was introduced as an unbeatable beast that barely anyone could even damage while Moria was a washed pirate and Pacifistas were one shotted by a bunch of people even before the timeskip

Just a guy who's evil for the sake of being evil without any dramatic backstory and ulterior motives. When was the last time we got a character like this? Lucci and Spandam?

It just feels like it cheapens the story and turns it from one of the best games ever made that touches on topics like despair and sorrow like no other game ever did into some early 10s creepypasta like Sonic.exe, especially because the theories barely touch on the story itself and just focus on very minor things like that elegy of emptiness statue (guess we have to thank Ben Drown for that one)

I have no clue how these theories even got popular, even if we look at this game in the lens of "most of the game never really happened and it was all in his head" kinda like Silent Hill it would be much more meaningful to say that the game is about Link overcoming all the trauma he went through in OoT, dealing with the loss his childhood and Navi's death
