The reason a lot of people think Shanks > Mihawk is because Shanks stopped Akainu, ended the Marineford War, and split the heavens with a healthy Whitebeard. Meanwhile Mihawk’s on panel feats are obviously a lot inferior.

I still beileve that Mihawk is stronger than Shanks however due to his title. Oda has not done a good job showing Mihawk’s feats, I think we can all agree on that. Hopefully Oda fixes that when Mihawk vs the Marines takes place.

It's not an impossible riddle, the main argument for Mihawk > Shanks is his title and all it takes for him to favor swordsmanship more than Shanks to deserve it, I wouldn't rule out the idea of Shanks using a gun or martial arts but can't picture Mihawk doing it unless he didn't have Yoru around for instance.

In general the momentum favors Shanks> Mihawk since the other way around would be more uncommon
for Mihawk > Shanks to be true it would make the first case of Warlord > Emperor, it would make Zoro's most respected figure stronger than Luffy's most respected figure deviating from the expected and even among marines Mihawk's presence was never considered notably higher than the other warlords, something that would be inconceivable if an emperor was among their ranks.

What I want find very interesting about Shanks vs Mihawk is the way that othrr characters talking about this legendary battle as they where witness of their battle. How a WB calling that fight legendary if he never see it with his own eyes? And not just him but the most strong people know it. In that case I really believe the line that Shanks and Mihawk fight shake the Grandline that even WB feel the legendary battle(Continent lvl *hust*).

Not probably releate to the topic of the post but what ever.

Post automatically merged:

Hype is irrelevant when he's a swordsman.
Shanks being > mihawk means zoro has a fake dream
Nah it wouldn't Blackbeard is gonna clap Shanks cheeks so when Zoro defeats Mihawk he will still be the wss

Dude are you retarded?
Future sight, whatever the fuck Fujitora does, internal destruction ryou....advanced CoC? No way that's pure fantasy and bullshit.
We got one panel of Roger fighting WB, I didn't see WB using his Quake fruit ( his strongest attack).

The real answer is because multiple things

1. shanks having an actual personality to most and not being a robot

2. shanks character design

3. shanks having badass moments like stopping marineford war or the clash with whitebeard

4. Also the advanced conquerers theories

5. Oda never gives mihawk hype but gives shanks all the hype in the damn world. For example land of wano where the hell are the mihawk references or hype? Shanks living in kaidos head rent free

6 the vista situation.

7. Mihawk saying the true distance shit and shanks clashing with Whitebeard does not look good for mihawk at all


it’s not one thing but multiple things which I could continue to nsme
