One Piece Episode 638

Of course, I don't know how anyone would have formed that rumor in the first place.

Has it ever been used on an Emperor? Are people just assuming that an Emperor is exactly as tough as a fort?

The rumour was obviously coming from that backstabbing, villainous tactician, so it could be 100% lies for all we know. In any case the damage it caused before the barrier stopped it didn't give an impression of a most devastating attack. I'd say it was at least 80% lies. It wouldn't have stopped an Emperor (even if we ignore the fact no Emperor would have had patience to sit still until the dude was done charging his ridiculous power attack).

Wasn`t it basically a monologue though? Why would the guy lie to himself? Considering they advertised the punch for like... two episodes as the ultimate attack. I`m guessing it didn`t look too impressive because of the animation budget or whatever, I`m willing to accept a punch like that can defeat a Younkou (assuming they receive a direct hit somehow), simply because the guy had zero reason to lie, not to mention spectators were also aware of the punch`s strength.

Yeah, I have no idea how the king intended to win the tournament. After these free-for-all rounds were over, how did he expect to win the later rounds without people blocking for him for 10min?

Charge it during the grace period (while block C and D are fighting), then go to a corner and release it with all its might, I think the question would be why he didn`t charge it beforehand.

I don't know where they heard it, but I thought the announcer and people in the audience repeated the same thing in this episode though. So it's apparently a commonly held belief for some reason.
