Death Battle Fight Prediction: Traflgar D. Water Law (One Piece) vs Younger Toguro (Yu Yu Hakusho)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I planned two more Death Battle fight prediction blogs. Neither is related to the upcoming season. Which is about to kick off with Kratos vs Asura. Here's a fight to me is somewhat more interesting as well as unique to a degree. I'm putting Law from One Piece versus Younger Toguro from Yu Yu Hakusho.

Here's two characters among my list of characters I'm very strict who should face em. For Younger Toguro it was more of a question how could he lose? He does this power percentage system that involves increasing his muscle mass. This by itself limited who to consider to face him. I do think Law is a surprisingly decent opponent for him.

Law has a very unique, terrifying devil fruit called Op-Op Fruit. No it's not short for overpowered lol. Op actually stands for operation because usually those that eat this particular devil fruits are doctors. Just imagine one pirate crew filled with medics including the captain that's his crew in a nut shell. He has abilities many devil fruits has to a degree making it a very decent one.

It's safe to say this is a rather unexpected Shonen Jump match up. Some could argue Law has more interesting opponents. I felt some people going to be very surprise with the verdict section. I am sticking to the main canon stuff. I'm up to date on both franchises for the most part. I do believe I know whose going to win this epic showdown.

Verdict
Law

To some degree both can modify their bodies. Although this is vastly different between the two. Younger Toguro uses a power percentage system to increase his muscle mass. When he goes high enough, he takes a more menacing, demon form. He must steal souls to maintain himself or he'll die. However Law has counters to everything Toguro could do in this fight.

We even could scale them to each other. Let me explain Toguro is officially Class B. Which would easily destroy any lower classes. In fact, power scaling is more massive than your typical Shonen power scaling. In most of them, increasing the power scale is notably smaller including One Piece. Although One Piece is a much longer story than Yu Yu Hakusho to counter balance that problem.

In Yu Yu Hakusho logic you must be equal to that class to stand a chance. If you are either A or S Class, you destroy B Class and lower with ease. Toguro has shown greater levels of strength by using one hand to carry an replacement ring in for the Dark Tournament. At the time, no one else could've done this feat. Unfortunately that still pales in comparison to what Law brings to the table.

For starters, he actually held his own against characters notably more powerful than himself a few times. This includes two former emperors with help. He had to work with Eustass Kid to take down Big Mom. For fairness reasons, I can only give Law half that feat. This is important because characters like Big Mom would've been classified A Class in Yu Yu Hakusho universe.

He also can use his powers to prevent Toguro getting more souls. This is a huge factor in how Big Mom loss. Law prevented her getting souls as well as using parts of another devil fruit power to mute her. Yes he can literately remove sound from people. Her devil fruit Soul-Soul Fruit is well being a manipulator of souls.

Toguro lacks counters for that. Law also has a particular attack that directly targets every organ in a body. He caused stronger characters that were country level pain a few ways. It's very clear he can not only cause Toguro pain. But also bypass his ridiculous body mass to finish him off too. There's a great example to prove this.

Vergo who was a high ranking marine actually working for former warlord Doflamingo. He was capable of using full body armament haki. Law was capable of cutting him up. Considering Zoro himself defeated Pica who also went full body armament haki. Zoro also later defeated Rob Lucci who his captain previously defeated.

Lucci mastered a fighting style that maximum usage of the body. Haki is more directly about the willpower of it's user. Which also had it's own unique advantages. Among them is observation haki that allows the user to notice things even faster opponents including invisible ones. This is bad for Toguro because Law will notice critical things at a faster rate.

It's also safe to say Law is an actual doctor has the intelligence advantage. Law's powers allows him other crazier possibilities. He could cut Toguro once or a few times. Then use Room to manipulate him however he wants. He even can attach parts of people to animals, weapons, and parts of a location. Among one cut to Vergo, Law also cut through several mountains with ease.

The fact he caused pain to country level characters means Law doesn't have to be stronger than Toguro to win. He just needs the opportunity to finish the fight. Law held his own against Emperor Blackbeard. Then again Blackbeard is quite cocky to a fault. I still gotta mention Law faced two of the deadliest devil fruits head on.

Toguro does have a particular long range attack. Again Law has many counters including swapping. Law simply could swap places on the fly. He could swap objects with him to prevent any harm. He also could force Toguro to face his own attacks without warning. Toguro wouldn't be use to an ability like this.

Law could easily remove Toguro's heart. Then finish him off afterwards. Suddenly his 120% power percentage means virtually nothing. Law is rather creative with his powers. He usually fights with a long sword. Sure he has loss a couple of times in canon. Law finds a way to bounce back to a degree. Considering with Captain Kid is one of Luffy's biggest rivals.

Toguro would be a better trained fighter. He also spent years doing stuff he really didn't wanna do to others. Of course, he's going to hide this fact from Law in a fight. Although he did make sure to lose to Yusuke. He still force him to fight with everything he's got. There's a chance Toguro might suddenly do this with Law as well.

I know some might question if Law could see Toguro since he's an demon. Considering a few devil fruits like Hollow-Hollow Fruit, Shadow-Shadow Fruit and Soul-Soul Fruit. It's safe to say in theory yes he can see him. Toguro will constantly be thrown off by whatever Law is doing. Therefore, he can't get any one ups in this fight.

Toguro doesn't even win the durability advantage. Simply because Law survived attacks from two former emperors. The concept of a weaker character doing some notable damage to a stronger one exists within One Piece universe. He did survive Kaido to a degree. Law can easily tank Toguro's punches to a degree.

What sucks for Toguro is he prefers close range combat. Which is exactly what you don't wanna do against Law. Law could easily win this fight before Toguro goes more demon side of his power as well. He once gotten chased by former warlord Doflamingo. Whose kicks were capable of cutting through stone builds.

The way I view this is Toguro inevitably going to get in close. But won't be able to take any opportunities simply because of Law's powers. Toguro could decapitate one of Law's limbs. He can either stop the bleeding entirely or use whatever he can find to replace it. Also knowing Toguro needs souls to maintain his more powerful percentages.

The fact Law prevented a more powerful character doing something similar easily trumps that. His powers allows him so many opportunities to win this fight. He even directly bypass Toguro's durability with ease. Law also more of a strategist in comparison being both a captain and the doctor of his crew. Toguro is virtually screwed no matter what he does.

Winner: Law (One Piece)
