Yeah I heard that too, like how Ennies Lobby was the same for One Piece... or was that the Fishman Island arc? I forgot. (I so wonder how many chapters we'll get, since Sun Village was at the 350s... the 700s?)

And I agree, this isn't the first time I've seen a timeskip causing a character to beat an enemy he had trouble with previously. Saw it with Goku when he obtained SS3, saw it with Luffy during One Piece, saw it with... actually I should stop or I'll go on forever. Bluenote being one-shot doesn't bother me due to that, if anything that just shows the villains that we'll soon encounter are even more powerful.
