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

HA001

World's Strongest Swordsman
No Fujitora>Shanks
2arm shanks>Fuji
Eitherway its a dub for Fuji for facing WSS Zoro at the end of one piece
Nope. Mihawk is waiting for a swordsman stronger than shanks. If fuji was stronger than shanks mihawk would fight him.
Shanks is the bar for all swordsman to reach to fight mihawk.
Nope zoro will fight kizaru.
 
His spear is one if the Supreme Grade Swords. The WSS title falls apart fast since people have multiple ways of fighting that doesn't include their sword. Just cause someone carries a sword, it doesn't mean Mihawk auto wins.
I gave my theory on where Oda is going with Luffy growth and how Shanks is connected to that growth. The theory is my reason why Shanks is above Mihawk but in a sword fight, Mihawk wins.
The correct translation is superior grade blade not sword.

WSS title doesn't fall apart. Some people try to push this "pure Swordsman" belief which doesn't exist so they can create their own definition of swordsman. You don't see none swordsmen, except for luffy, picking up a random sword and using it in battle. All Luffy did when he had a sword in Wano was punch people while holding a sword in his hand.

Meito official name is famous sword
 
Because Shanks is a fan-favourite and is MUCH more hyped than Mihawk who just thas his pretty title and was clashing with Vista in MF. Just imagine what would people think of their characters when one is clashing with a YC4 whereas one stopped the freaking war just by showing up his fucking face. All this is what causes the bias.

Though I personally believe Mihawk to be a little stronger based on everything we know so far. We'll see how the story progresses.
 
Oh so Shanks and his whole crew were on fodder bandit level on chapter 1 and then became Yonko/Hakimen right after ! Gotcha.
I never said this, it's clearly obvious that shanks and his crew stomped the bandits. With regards to the kidnapping Shanks got carless:


Also it was stated in chapter 957 that Shanks became a yonkou 6 years ago


One piece went from fighting with swords and guns and breaking buildings to destroying Islands. Power inflation is a common thing in shounen.

Anyways, good luck for the rest of the series; it's only going downhill for haters/sour people from now on.
I'm a hater because I don't downplay Jozu ???

Like how can you compare this scene



To what happened in chapter 1??

Imagine bringing up something that happened in romance down arc to downplay someone. I guess Luffy isnt strong because he struggled with don-Krieg in baratie arc :yearight:

Look at Kaido and the Scabbards or Big Mom and Marco. Some fans are making every excuse in the world why Big Mom because they just didn't want to acknowledge Marco's strength.

Shanks didn't stop the war by himself. He showed up with his crew. Was there a point for the war to continue anyway? WB and Ace were both dead at that time.
 
Well, it's all started with this.

Group 1 thinking that Shanks and Mihawk are equals. Group 2 thinking that Mihawk is stronger because of the WSS title. Group 3 thinking that Shanks is stronger because he got better feats and hype.

Portrayal >>> Feats. Mihawk >~ Shanks is reasonable. YouTubers and Redditors pushing the Shanks > Mihawk narrative because Shanks looks stronger and more badass.

Haha with manwha is that from?
 
Shanks stopped a war involving the marines who have multiple top tier fighters and the Whitebeard pirates minus WB himself. Even stopped BB and his crew. So that's another very strong party. All of that with words alone! Shanks, by himself and with no force, stopped that big war. If this doesn't convince you Shanks can stomp Mihawk, I dont know what will.

I mean, look at the two Emperors of this arc. Neither action or words from either of them can stop some weak ass brats from defeating them. One will be beheaded a yc3 and the other will get an internal punch to the head and lose memories again

We can't use Shanks feat in MF to scale him so above them though, only Mihawk

Like one person said earlier, Shanks can beat anyone without his sword. The only reason he'll be killed by Teach is because he'll use a sword

His spear is one of the Supreme BLADES.
No, the title doesnt fall apart is stronger than ever. Good luck winning with other things against swords.
I dont know about your theory but my theory is that Shanks has nothing to do with Luffy combat wise.
Shanks is below Mihawk in every way, no matter what he uses, he cannot beat Mihawk.

oh sure ... and by your logic Dark King > Roger
same logic that puts current Zoro > Prime Garp I guess
come on man ... stop trolling


people want to claim Mihawk > Shanks .... fine

but don't ... not even for 1 sec try to claim Shanks > Mihawk is not a fucking fantastically strong claim
Why are you surprised that Rayleigh is above Roger after you have seen that Zoro is above Luffy? :yasu:
Just because the partner stands in his shadow when it comes to fame, you automatically assume that he is weaker? lol
Yes, prime Garp caps at Chinjao, both are negative diff for current Zoro.

It is not people who want to claim it, stop playing games. It is Oda who claims it, difference.
Here it comes - Shanks>Mihawk is not a fucking fantastically strong claim.
Shanks fans just convinced themselves that it is and to this day, they make stuff up to avoid the truth.

It's called Weak Hero. If you're into high school gangsters street fight then it's for you.:goyea:

WTF did I just read.

Shanks did not stop the war by himself. It was him and his entire crew that stopped a war that was already over. All he did was stop more senseless killing.

WB was dead, Ace was dead, they still attacked Luffy, and BB had earthquake DF powers. That's the entire reason BB came.

If Shanks can beat anyone without a sword then he would be the WSM.
