General & Others How did Shanks>Mihawk become so popular?

When you're done saying this

Now post panels of Mihawk having better feats and hype than Shanks... Zero
You mean air cutting a frozen mountain sized tsunami conjured by both Whitebeard and Kuzan?
Meanwhile, we have Shanks air slashing droplets of water particles in the air.

Solid mass material > droplets of liquid.

The moment Oda made Shanks a Yonko while Minawk was just a mere warlord,
Not sure why you are so highly focused on titles here. Garp is a vice admiral and yet no one questions his strength. So your "title" example is fruitless.
Mihawk doesn't even have a sufficient sized crew to even become an emperor. His power alone is equal to an emperor or an admiral, easily. Now if you can give me an example of an emperor with an army size nigh equal to Mihawk's then you MAY just have a good argument. But no.

The moment Shanks had CoC but not Mihawk
Had or has? Not that it matters because Mihawk would trample all over Doffy, Katakuri, Chinjao, etc...

The moment Shanks was hyped by Kaido and Linlin not Posthawk
And? Whitebeard also hyped up Mihawk and Shanks together.
And why would he hype them up as recent as chapter 434? If Whitebeard was this powerful and yet their legendary duel was still fresh in his memory, then he probably STILL considered them extremely powerful fighters.


The moment Shanks clashed WB and Kaido evenly while Mihawk was set aside to face high tiers
Wouldn't go so far as to say they clashed weapons only once and considered that "equal". That's literally like saying two mma fighters pushing each other at the same time and the referee calling the bout off and saying it's a draw. Nope.


Oda doesn't view Mihawk above Shanks.
Except that is untrue and you know it. Even when Shanks became the emperor, Mihawk is still the WSS. Truth hurts.

Mihawk >= Shanks. That's the best you are going to get out of Oda.
 
I can see it going this way:
Mihawk would beat Shanks in a 1on1, but Shanks might overall be stronger against most others, cause I think he will have advanced CoC and it will counter elemental attacks and stuff.
Basically: He neutralizes stuff like BM's homies, logia awakening, environmental effects (flowing mochi/ever white), whereas Mihawk would face the same difficulties anyone else has with such.
Total headcanon, but a reasonable guess I'd say.

And I think that's pretty much the origin of that hakiman thing aswell. Blends in perfectly with his portrayal.
 
I know it has a lot to do with youtubers almost all of them seem to think shanks is stronger then Mihawk and they are influencers so most people will just follow their lead, but why did most of them just huddle around this thought? I used to be shanks>Mihawk to until I thought about It for more then 5 minutes, so how did a ridiculous notion get so popular? Not trolling rn I’m genuinely curious how this happened.
you are capable of thinking for 5 min? base on this post I HIGHLY doubt that if you ever did such thing in your entire life

why vast majority of one piece fandom don't agree with a dream like Mihawk > Shanks?
I don't know ... maybe cause Oda hyped Shanks in most epic way any manga ever hyped any character





better hype
better feats
higher importance
creating most epic moments

if there be a real poll with all the one piece fans about Shanks Vs Mihawk ... Shanks would DESTROY him ...
cause people have eyes and they are capable of seeing who is getting more hyped

Mihawk > Shanks is result of overreading in to a title and over expectations

but
Mihawk > Shanks is still a ATCAUL CLAIM ... I give them that

Mihawk fans: His slash did nothing to Jozu because he has achieved the pinnacle of swordsmanship and can only cut that which he sets his mind to.
also Mihawk fans: LOOK AT THE ULTIMATE POWER OF HIS SLASH, he missed Luffy but sliced this massive ice thanks to the unrestrained destructive power of his swordsmanship.
As a one piece follower, You are well aware that diamond is the hardest thing in OPverse right?
Otherwise, you may read two pieces
 
Sword fight means a fight that involves tornados, Tsunamis, armament haki leaking, sniping, flying slashes, thrust attacks, fire, thunder, lightening, water, flower petals, giraffes, metal men..that kinda sword fight?

What's a sword fight in One Piece?
Sniping?
Don't know where you're going with this but yea, there's different styles to sword fights.
 
> Shanks wasnt a Yonkou back then
> the Kidnapping happened in the first chapter, power inflation is a thing

Nice try to downplay Jozu
Oh so Shanks and his whole crew were on fodder bandit level on chapter 1 and then became Yonko/Hakimen right after ! Gotcha.
''Power inflation'' :suresure:
Anyways, good luck for the rest of the series; it's only going downhill for haters/sour people from now on.

Cutting ice isnt better feat that splitting the sky.
Stopping Akainu easily like fodder while mihawk gets stopped easily by Vista/croco

Nice try, coz Mihawk can never even beat Chinjao , doffy, kata below high diff.

Prime chinjao clashing Garp many times >>>Posthawk clashing Young shanks many times

You know that you are feeding the innocent bystanders your crazy ideas? :sanmoji:

Splitting the actual "sky" which extends through outer space and beyond would require slicing through space, time, and reality. You do realize that, right?

So you are wrong on this. Bring it down to reality and it's nothing but droplets of water. That's all there is to it.

Stopping Akainu easily like fodder while mihawj gets stopped easily by Vista/croco
You really don't want to be using this example as your argument.

Both Whitebeard and Shanks stopped each other's attack. Parried. Blocked. Attacked. Whatever you call it.

This is essentially the same thing as Shanks blocking Akainu's attack meant for a Master Chief Petty Officer.
If Shanks's power heavily outclasses Akainu, then Akainu would have been blown back several miles backwards.
But none of that happened, did it?

Thank you for confirming that pre-ts Akainu is on the same level as WB, Shanks, and other emperors. This essentially means you are saying that the emperors = admirals.

Nice try, coz Mihawj can never even beat Chinjao , doffy, kata below high diff.
If I wanted a joke then I would have asked.
