In the past few days, I received a lot of answer in my thread Chopper vs. Bellamy. Some of them rated Bellamy clearly above Chopper (post-TS), even with his Monster Point form. Though it wasn't really their point, it reminded of something I have been wondering since the Fishmen Island arc: Could the new Monster Choper be weaker than the old one?

Pretty strange question isn't it ? Characters usually become stronger through time (at least while they're in their youth). But Chopper's case is particular, as his transformation is now under control, which was not the case at Enies Lobby or at Sabaody. When we first witnessed Monster Chopper, I was amazed. The dude was a complete savage and his cry was really impressive. And let's not forget the way he threw Kumadori like a garbage. But post-TS, Monster Point has been rather disappointing. Like Chopper in general, but especially Monster Point, given the effect it had on me the first time I saw it. |
So that leads to the question: Does the fact that Choper can control his Monster Point form increase his strength, or on the contrary, does it inhibit it?
