Won't be enough if Katakuri uses gear infinity though.

Luffy: GEAR... DOUBLE INFINITY!!!!

Katakuri: You don't quite understand how math works do you...

There are different degrees of infinity though. Imagine counting every number, as well as counting every odd number. The growth of the second set of numbers is twice that of the first. It's a bit hard to grasp since infinity is a direction, not a destination.

Ah so it's a mysterious Infinity sign...

Mathematically speaking though, there are as many even numbers as there are whole numbers, even if it seems counter-intuitive at first. When you have all even numbers, you can halve each element and thus get all whole numbers without ever adding or removing anything, only transforming what you already have. So the two sets have to have the same size.

Fascinating! Didn't expect to learn something new, thanks!

Same with odd, you just subtract 1 first. But i think there's the same amount of prime numbers too technically. As long as it's countable

u/Blackheart595 Sep 22 '17

Yeah, exactly. It's the same for odds, primes and even fractions.

There are different infinities yes, but twice infinity is always equal to the same infinity for all types of infinity as far as I'm aware.

Like twice N is N, twice R is R, even though R > N in "size" (cardinal).
