    Enel's always been my #1 villain. The casual brandishing of world ending power is so well done. He adapted very well to Luffy's pokemon rule and even after Luffy nullified his haki, used physics to win by putting the gold ball on him and throwing him off the platform. His ability to go from deathly serious to calm conversationalist to absolutely shocked super jackass clown is just phenomenal.
    He could come back and do pretty much anything and fit in. He could be a villain again, he could be neutral or he could be an ally and it'd fit in perfectly because he has the personality range for it.

    Enel was one of my favorite villains. When he was introduced, he felt invincible. None of the Strawhats, even the monster trio, could do anything. In previous arcs, the goal always felt achievable, but before the reveal of Luffy being immune, this was the first time where the villain was truly unbeatable. I also love how he still achieved his goal, even after losing. If you think about it, it's also really clever from a meta-perspective. Oda guaranteed that the godly Rumble fruit would be unusable as long as Enel still had it up there.

      The fact that Foxy actually was able to get into a punch-out with Luffy *at all* even if he didn't win the clash is frankly impressive as fuck. Like, the man went punch for punch with a Gum Gum Gatling for several seconds straight while eating hits from it over and over again and he *still* kept on punching. Ignoring *everything else* about the dude, his physical stats were actually impressive as hell in context. Luffy is a straightforward brawler type and Foxy is a trickster type, but Foxy *still* had the physical stats to get into a slug-out with Luffy.
      We've seen Luffy destroy buildings with his bare hands. Luffy was physically strong enough to go blow for blow with Arlong who was casually turning houses upside down. Foxy fought a Luffy who had also been through Enel and Crocodile so had to be proportionally even stronger than that. The conclusion from this is that Foxy could very well be at *least* as physically strong as Arlong was, which is concerning as hell when you apply that information to a fight with a normal person and add on his slow-slow powers.
      Foxy is only a joke because his opponent was Luffy. Against anyone who isn't a complete outlier, Foxy is kind of a ringer. @@wickerman2817

    have to agree, Enel is one of my favorite villians of one piece but i also love skypia. the story line with Merry and Usopp hits me so hard over and over thruout the series and the culmination of that story probably hit me the hardest in the whole series. i remember having to pause at Merry's funeral because i couldnt see what was happening because i was openly crying too hard. i really hope that Enel does come back, even if its for a gag bit about how strong the crew has become in his absence cause its been too long and we need another Enel shocked face meme.

    I've always loved Enel. Ever since I was a kid, I've always been fascinated by angels and holy imagery, so Skypeia was always one of my favorite arcs, and I had never seen anything quite like Enel as a kid, so he fascinated me. The themes, the design (I wasn't nearly as familiar with Eastern mythologies as I am now), the presence, everything, it was amazing to me. Nowadays I play a lot of Shin Megami Tensei, which explores a lot of divine ideas and especially the idea of a false or unworthy yet still overwhelmingly powerful God archetype, so I can appreciate Enel and everything he represents now more than ever. And his cover story is easily one of my favorite for all of those reasons, seeing where a god goes after he's ripped from his golden throne. I'd personally put him in S tier, but everything you said about the loss of threat when Luffy showed up, and the comparisons to the much more built-up Crocodile and Doflamingo (side note, ever notice how like half of the best One Piece villains are named after animals?) are valid and understandable, so I can see the reasoning for the A tier placement instead.

    LOL.. Yeah I believe Enel will definitely be back in the Post Timeskip era haha! Not to mention become an unlikely ally to Luffy and Dragon. We've seen him slowly gathering some army of robotic creatures across the various moons around the World of One Piece. He's building an army most likely to take back with him to take on the World Government. Based on the fact that the Celestial Dragons pushed out a race of 'sky people' from the red line in the first place.. Enel may be trying to get revenge for his ancestors....
    Honestly it would be pretty hilarious in the final fights around the world Government if Enel was returning planetside with his army just for his entire to force to Take and TANK a blast from Uranus or Imu on the way down and indirectly become a hero himself of that country in the process. I very much want to see this happen and think it could lead to some real comedic scenes lol!
    I have a good feeling Enel and Dragon both have Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits as well, but Enel's wasn't yet awakened..and therefore he was stuck with its base form which turned out to mimic that of a lightning logia. Dragon most likely has awakened his already and thus having an opposite fruit of the five elder stars that would easily already make him an enemy to them regardless of his Revolutionary Army..... I'm almost certain based on all of the Japanese or Eastern Themed Deities we've seen in the story already that Enel and Dragon both respectively have the Mythical Zoans that represent Raijin and Fujin. The Japanese Deities of Thunder and wind. To me this would just make perfect sense... The Pokemon trio of Tornadus, Thunderus, and Landorus believe it or not originally got me thinking about this back in the day as people would talk about which Japanese deities they were supposed to take after. Landorus for some reason in the series was closely related to the 'sun' or the 'sun stone', which I figured was strange because there was no deity for the sun that was related to Raijin or Fujin in Japanese mythos unless you could Amaterasu I guess lol!

They have literal space suits, what's stopping them from just peacing out and attempting to survive from the destruction that's about to befall them? That would also give us the re-introduction of Enel we've been waiting for, forcing a fight with them and possibly even conquering them or teaming up with Luffy to defeat them on the moon.

    I think something fascinating was the video I saw a while back(might’ve even been on here) discussing how One Piece would’ve worked if it was actually 5 years long as Oda intended. And something that stuck out was the idea that Skypeia is around the 5 year mark, and is likely what the final saga was going to be like, the priests were like the Gorosei, loyal followers to a god like figure. And that godlike figure(Enel/Imu) being capable of destroying entire islands with attacks from the sky. Add the fact that Luffy was the perfect counter to Enel, mirroring how Joy Boy/Nika will be the counter to Imu, and I think Skypeia can be looked back on in the final arc even more fondly than it is now.
    But also seeing Enel show up and actually fight Imu would be nuts
